Best ROM For Battery Life?

I been searching for a while but nothing. The Rom I have now battery dies after 3-4 hours of usage... is there any roms with 6+ life... thx
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Doing what? The last two roms I've had give me about 8 days of standby, but probably 2 hours of browsing and 4-6 hours of talk. With light use during the day, I easily have 50% battery when my HD2 goes on charge.
My current ROM is here.

all cm7 have almost same consumption but u can ask the users of evey rom to know....
by the way ...wrong place to post ur question ...

The best time gave me Frankinstain Droid wirh 1st sense... it is really the best imho

HyperDroid CM7 is best choice for me. At the end of Day with bit internet surfing and 30 minutes of phone calling, it still has 71% . And it's every day the same percentage.
Modifications:
-Tasker profiles for disabling phone in the night, GPS turning on basing on app start.
-RIL Tweaks matching my provider
Important is, that you uninstall all unnecessary stuff like widgets you don't use.

Best roms for battery...
MIUI ROMS (NDT/LADY). The best batt life usually. Some Cy 7.1 roms last 8hrs but most dont. Just flash a miui and turn off gps and bluetooth when not in use...wroks for me...

I use Hyperdroid Cm7 [look at my signature below] with Radio 2.15.50.02 and i have the best battery life!
Ps: Wrong section to post your question mate!

Battery life depends so much on usage pattern ... I can't tell that often enough. My setup e.g. is primarily for business with primary use of push email, phone, bluetooth connection. Occasionally Internet, but only when Wifi is available.
So my setup is
- private APN (most ports blocked, so Market and many apps using non-8080 ports won't work)
- push email/calendar/contacts sync (Exchange server)
My experience is that "background sync" is a real battery sucker, so I switched it off (as described above, Market & Co. won't work anyway as long as I am on the private APN). With this setting, I can survive two full days, between 60% and 70% battery left when the second work day starts and around 20% left at the end of the second work day. Moving around (travelling) decreases my mileage, but I am always >50% after one full day.
Switching on "background sync", using weather and other fancy stuff brings me down to 25-30% after one day. I am using a Gingerbread ROM with Sense (Sense of Eclipse 2.0.0)

Terrible atrix battery

I've unlocked and am running Ken's Alien ROM and so far I really like this. Im an international user on orange uk, so I use faux123's kernel for Oc and ram fix. But there is one caveat. I have really rubbish battery life. I did all the stuff (charge to 100% from 0% wipe stats, calibrate). The fact is, I left it on, for ten hours. The display was on for about 2. No usage. When I returned the battery was 30%, with phone idle consuming 30%. Newer radio needed? What can I do? My baseband is N_01.95.00R .
I've heard good things about the newest AT&T radio for battery. How can I flash this to an international ATRIX?
Help appreciated

Edit : phone idle consumed 40% :O

I have the exact same issue. Unfortunately, all that I can say is that changing neither kernel, radio or rom did fix this issue. I had some improvements when I followed this topic and flashed back my stock kernel (with no OC), but still very far from what I would consider a decent battery lifetime (10h with 3g + email and twitter sync and screen off)
Some users have tried and it worked well from them. I'm on the team that didn't work ): But you could give it a shot

Calibrate your battery. Charge to 100% wipe battery stats. Then discharge to shut off. Then charge to 100% again.

OP stated he tried calibration without success... I too am having subpar battery performance - interested to see what others have done to achieve better battery performance besides the previously mentioned methods.

I've done all that stuff, but it doesn't help IMHO. (at least it didn't do anything for me)
Only 2 real fixes that have worked for me are these:
1. Freeze unnecessarily apps with Titanium Backup (use "System panel" from the Market to find out what keeps constantly running/popping up in the background that you don't need)
AND
2. Turn off Automatic Sync, and get in the habit of doing that stuff manually all at once.
@2. I use to sync in the worst signal areas, and that drained the **** out of my battery. Sync/get your updates manually in strong signal areas whenever possible...

New radio from the fruitcakes thread and the latest faux123 kernel seemed to kill that bug.
I sold my atrix to my less then nerdy friend and I just fixed that bug for him yesterday. Same deal tho...

I noticed from X2 battery (I think) every minute or two the phone constantly checks for either cell or data signal. I can let my iphone 4 sit on the counter all day and it might use 1-2% but my atrix drops 5% in an hour without touching it. No calibration or battery fix will help. Even CM7 uses it fairly quickly. Im running Alien 4 with max battery saver and gps and auto sync disabled...it should last for a full day with heavy usage.

Alien 4 w/theme, faux123 kernel, everything at stock settings for this rom, nothing frozen, and I am sitting at 1 day and 13 hours with 28% left, mostly idle, but an hour long call and bit of game playing.
If you are getting something on the order of just a few hours then your phone or battery must be bad. I am doing nothing to extend the battery life other then using the default settings.

The phone should get 2 days sitting on the counter..LOL Of all the phones I've had and iPhones I've jailbroken, there is definately something wrong with the Motorola or Android software running on this phone. I've never had to worry about calibrating or battery fixes. This is just my honest opinion. I've had 2 ROMs in all the ones I've flashed that had good battery life and I think it was a coincedence that maybe something didn't load right or got deleted by accident.

Most iphone users need to charge at LEAST once a day. A lot of them charge more than once. I can sometimes get 2 days usage from my Atrix, with heavy texting, some calls, and some games - which is pretty damn good.
Maybe your battery is the issue. not all Atrix are created equal and not all batteries function the same

When you go into settings>running apps, does your free and used ram add up to over 800? Mine used to and now it doesn't. It adds up to like 750....I always thought it would add up to mid to upper 800's. It also could be the battery but I was pointing out that I have left my wife's Iphone 4 and my atrix on the counter all day (neither one got used) and my atrix was down in the 70% range and her phone was at 96%. I'm just thinking something is running or consuming the battery. I've used fastboot to do all wipes and still seem to be having an issue.... I also flash ROMs every few days so maybe the battery calibration doesn't have time to really calibrate. I'll pick a combo I like and keeep it for a few days and see if I notice a better battery life.

How long has it been since you've flashed a ROM? It usually takes a few days for it to settle back in and provide decent battery life (at least from my experience). My phone right now has been on for a little over 7 hours and is at about 55% with Display using up 60% of the battery (3hrs on). This is with the Alien v4 and Faux's latest kernel. The first few days after flashing a ROM my phone would usually only last about 7 hours.

i get 2-3 days on stand by. and about 6-8 hours of straight use. 3-5 if i'm using mobile broadband.
1: keep gps and data off (background data is almost irrelevant.)
2: use green power
3: use a task manager to close applications that you are not using. (be sure you can add "ignore" exceptions otherwise get a different manager. anyone who says not to use a task manager is a ****ing punk hipster ***** fag who's irreparable damage to the geeks good name will not go unpunished)
4: do the "wipe battery stats" bit after every flash (100% charge, wipe stats, full discharge)
5: is to install a custom kernel and use SetCPU to underclock to 312 while the screen is off..
most importantly: use your head. if you stream 1080p using mobile broadband for 2 hours your battery is dead.

I flash ROMs every few days but I call BS on the whole "Battery Calibration" thing. If my battery is showing 4200mv...it's full. It will die faster the more processes the phone does so my point it....whether I flash a rom every day it shouldn't matter, if the phone (After I set up and install whetever apps) gets unplugged, something drains the battery. Maybe the infra red sensor is always on, or a process is always starting and ending, who knows but the battery cannot be calibrated, the phone might need to be calibrated to read the correct voltage but batteries don't hold memory unlike the old NiCD rechargables from years ago.

When you flash a rom the battery stats get messed up. Based on what I know the way the battery drains depends on previous battery usage data hence the reason why it last longer after a few days of use after a rom is flashed. It needs to build up new data to correctly report battery use. Maybe I'm wrong but my experience supports this.

I am running Alien v4 with the stock kernel and I am getting well over a day with pretty heavy usage (phone calls, texts, emails, FB, twitter, XDA, Games). My setup:
Battery Mode= Maximum Battery Savings
Auto Brightness off, usually on 30%
Unused blur apps frozen
Reinstalled performancemanager.apk (blur task manager), set to kill unnecessary apps after 2 minutes of inactivity
No overclock, I don't see the need to overclock outside of high benchmark scores. Without overclock I still play every game smoothly without any hickups or slow downs. The phone still feels super fast without it.
I turn off all unused services (gps, bluetooth, wifi)

After you charge your phone and take it off the charger, reboot it.
It seems that a process kills the phones battery after you take it off the charger. You have to reboot after taking it off. It works wonders. Currently on 16 hours of use @ 45% battery on alien rom with stock kernel.
Cheers.

I use the same battery settings recently. I turn off GPS and Sync unless I'm using navigation. Which blur apps do you freeze? I just noticed (read on the Alien thread) On the unlock screen, hold the home button and it unlocks. I wonder if something like in pocket detection keeps the IR eye on all the time.

[Q] Battery life terrible, despite trying all the supposed "fixes", hardware problem?

[Q] Battery life terrible, despite trying all the supposed "fixes", hardware problem?
I got my N4 a bit less than a month ago by this point. I've rooted and tried most ROMS from stock to CM10.1 to PA, etc. However, my battery life is consistently not so good. Coming from a One XL on CM10, I was used to bad battery life, but I expected the N4 to be better.
I don't have any screenshots, but here are my averages:
Time on Battery: 10-14 hours
Screen on: ~1.5 hours (usually, never have gotten over 2.5)
Android OS kept awake: ~1-1.5 hours
I know I'm among the group of people with the problem of Android OS keeping the phone awake, and I see all of these kernels attempting to fix the msm_hsic_wakelock issue, but I'm still having that as well.
I'm always on auto-brightness, Google sync on (calendar, chrome, gmail), Google Now enabled, etc. I'm also always on data, usually 2 bars + (the signal never gets worse than yellow on the battery graph.
Lastly, on wifi, all of these issues are gone. My idle battery drain is also phenomanol on wifi compared to data or even no wifi + no data. In about 8 hours I drained ~8% even with the data off.
Any ideas? I'm getting really frustrated. I see people claiming 2+ hours screen time or 20+ hours on battery on stock phones! I'm nowhere near the average battery times.

Android OS is not keeping your phone awake. It's one of those crappy apps you have installed that are causing a wakelock causing the phone not to deep sleep.
Download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Use it to debug partial and kernel wakelocks (primarily partial wakelocks). Check CPU states using that app or download CPU Spy from play store.
It needs to be deep sleeping.
Google Now: Disable cards that you dont use.
Turn off auto brightness and adjust it to your liking (CM10.1 has a feature if you long press on status bar it will adjust its brightness so you can do it like that).
Use Franco Kernel r23 (it's the most stable one, if you want to experiment you can try r26).
Google Maps: turn off Google Maps Latitude and its automatic reporting of your location and uncheck auto reporting in your location.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5iaWdleWVzMHgwLnRyaWNrc3Rlcm1vZCJd use that app with Franco Kernel (or buy his app) to adjust its kernel settings.
http://zephik.com/upload/Screenshot_2012-12-14-19-05-58.png is a screenshot from last month. Pretty good battery overall for me.
Press the thanks if I helped. Will reply back if you have any questions or follow ups.

I've been on CM10.1 nightly 1231 for 3 days now and I can happily say that my battery is much better than before.
I've averaging 24-28 hours with 3 hours screen on with data only and usually charging at around 10%.
Always Enabled:
All Location Services
Google Sync
Always Disabled (except when needed):
Google Maps/Latitude location settings
Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS
Google Now cards that I don't normally use
Some things I've noticed:
- When I flash a new ROM and restore my TiBu (flashable zip or regular restore) I find that my battery life is average at best.
- When I flash a new ROM and fresh install my apps from the Play Store my battery life is good to great.
- Third party kernels can sometimes be wonky on this phone. I haven't tried Faux or Franco kernel since flashing 1231 because I've been getting great performance on CM kernel.
- When my kernel CPU is set to "ondemand" the performance is average at best. Changing it to "interactive" has helped improve my battery life... with no other kernel tweaks involved.
Apps like Facebook and Facebook Messenger seem to cause issues with my battery life also. When I was on CM10.1 nightly 1223 I had Facebook Messenger installed and my averages were 12-14 hours off battery. So by eliminating a few apps on fresh ROM installs I've been able to see the different effects they've had on my battery life. Basically any app that uses GPS can potentially be a battery hog even when the phone is not in use.
So from my points above are also some of my takeaways. Try a fresh install and watch what apps you install. Try a few different kernel governors (esp if you're on a custom ROM). You can improve performance by trial and error!
Good luck.
EDIT: zephiK's points above are also valid and I can confirm they've helped my battery life also.

I agree 100% with Facebook. The facebook app sucks your battery life HARD, especially if you plan to have it refreshing intervals. The app continues to request GPS location, so therefore because of that I disable the GPS on my phone completely (its that bug where if u have GPS globally on your phone you see it on the top left of your screen, and it doesnt go away). I leave FB all notifications off and manually sync it by pulling up on news feed. It's either that or check FB via mobile webpage.
Another thing I forgot is your refresh intervals. Make sure your apps don't have it on like syncing every 5/10/15/30/45/60 minutes. Set it to a couple hours more. using a twitter app? instead of having it sync in the background, just manually do it so you get all the missing tweets all at once. No reason to have it sync in the background randomly.
+1 on interactive. on Franco kernel it uses Interactive as it's default governor and it includes a lot of the latest interactive patches that really help out. It also includes qualcomm fixes with msic (not 100% but its better than stock), and newer drivers that will most likely be included in the next OTA.

Thank you for the replies everyone. In regards to all of the fixes you've suggested, I've tried all of them in the past week or two based on hours and hours of reading. This problem even exists on a freshly installed ROM with the bare minimum apps.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if there may be a problem with the radio in my phone. I live on a farm with an AT&T tower, yet I'm only getting "ok" signal, when I should be getting perfect signal. Called Google and just ordered my RMA, seeing as this battery problem has persisted from the day I first loaded up stock 4.2.1 on the phone upon receiving it.

If you constantly have a low signal, that will drain your battery a lot, because it has to boost the signal and that needs a lot more power.

This would have been useful in your original post. Obviously "worse" signal is going to cause more drain on your battery. Hopefully it's just a flaky radio for you but if the replacement has the same issues then it's something else and you should keep at it until you figure it out! That's half the fun with these phones.

My only concern was that he said android os was up there, so that means he has a app preventing his phone from sleeping.
personally i wouldnt take a RMA on poor battery life but as a result due to signal.... but yeah signal does play a huge factor in your battery life

[Q] Defy battery life

Just a question for Defy plus users. With which ROM-Kernel have you experienced to have the best battery life in your opinion? I used to have 3 days with stock GB. In CM10.1 and 10.2 barely lasts a day...I'm about to try CM7.2 or flash a different kernel on 10.2 if thats possible.

Try CM7.2, its very stable. CM10.1 and CM10.2 have a custom kernel, there's no other kernel around, so you have to stick with the kernel CM10.x gives. My battery life with CM is much better than the battery on stock GB. I get atleast 2 days with moderate use (whatsapp, messaging, browsing, camera). You have to investigate why battery life is bad. Get betterbatterystats and check for wakelocks.

First of all, don't turn on your phone if you don't need to use it. Second, wifi tends to use battery power and in some earlier ROMs I remember it used to cause the phone to not sleep properly, which might be your case since you're still on CM 10. I use Deep Sleep Battery Saver to turn my wifi on/off every certain amount of minutes.
I disable most, if not all, Google services and enable them only when I need them, since they send alarms every now and then to make sure your phone is online.
In BBS check which apps are setting the most alarms, and either disable them or you can use Autostarts or App Settings (Xposed module + xposed framework) to disable the receiver for the specific app that is waking your phone, and see if it works (some apps crash).
In my case, I'm currently at 62% with 18 hours of usage, and I haven't even done all that I mentioned above, with Google's location service having woken my phone 426 times, and Line 408, which is nasty in itself.

Now, thats what I'm talking about! Some useful tips there too, will give them a shot.
I also use Battery Widget Reborn to show me my battery usage graphically. Based on my observation, being on wifi consumes very little. Running purely on data consumes more (even when I turn wifi search off). Perhaps the newer build works ok with wifi now.
How do I disable these Google services?
Also, you mentioned you haven't done 'all' yet, may I ask what you have done so far that got you to 62% with 18h of usage?
Thanks again

Also some good times but I'll try stay away from CM7.2 as best I can. Thats just me though. Thanks for sharing those times, will keep it in mind.

What I have found until now is, Google location service is a battery hog, which can be seen from wakelock. In ettings->location & security, turn off GPS and wireless networks both. And what I am now experiencing is signal searching related battery drain is very big, like poor signal, 2G/3G switching, sticking in WCDMA and not able to switch back to GSM, those cannot be seen from wakelock.

For less battery consumption I turn off Data AutoSync.

Recommendation for battery friendly ROM

Hi all,
I purchased my X720 a couple of weeks ago and am still not settled with a ROM which I'd say I am satisfied with battery performance.
Tried LineageOS and it drew more than 5% idle during my sleep ~7 hours. Then I tried Validus and basically the battery drained after a day with minimum use. In both case I only installed 1 or 2 apps other than the gapps. Maybe I didn't get everything right. I am even considering going back to stock or a debloated version of stock.
I just want to check if anyone can recommend any ROM that draws less then 1% each 2 hours idle (not on flight mode). I don't mind whether it's MM or N as long as the google framework works.
Thanks in advance.
B

Best I've gotten without heavily tweaking and underclocking is 0.6 hr. With some work I got it down to 0.3. still working to improve it. This is on Turbo's Miui Rom v 10A. I got 2 days 18 hrs until it hit 5% battery left. That was with 3hrs 42mins SOT. The Rom has a few issues with setting not sticking on reboot. My watch crashes the rom (Android Wear). Finally the lock screen doesnt work with smartlock. Sure is pretty though.
Another option would be a stock based rom that's debloated.
Any of the nougat roms seem to have relatively high drain like 1.0 / hr was the best I have seen.

Stock still has the best battery life out of all the ROMs available. If you install an app that forces deep doze then you should be able to get much lower idle usage. However, you'll lose a lot of notifications. That's the trade-off...
One that I've used before going back to stock was Naptime: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.doze
I guess greenify also has that functionality, but it seemed buggy to me (but it is probably more stable now).

Omni drains 0-2% overnight for me. However, if you're in poor coverage (orange/red) you'll lose more battery regardless. I keep my phone on 2G overnight and data is automatically turned off by force doze.
Also remember that apps can prevent the device from entering deep sleep, so a rogue app could be the cause of your drain. Facebook, Snapchat, etc. Those are battery hogs.
