Rock mod vs 99 vs bcblend

All about the battery life has anyone tested these three kernels in detail.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA Premium App

Because of the slight variance in hardware on the Shift its very much a YMMV situation. For example, everyone raved about bcnice's kernel how it gave huge gains battery life, but for me it gave me the worst battery life. Before Nightly #88 ScaryGhoul's kernel gave me the best battery life.

I'm using newest miui

Battery Life on CM7 (AOSP versus Sense)

I've been running the latest nightly (20120722) for a few days now with less than stellar battery life. It seems that everytime I run an AOSP rom the main battery culprits appear to be cell and phone idle, where's with a Sense rom, it' the screen. I have a relatively new battery. I'd say moderate use, typically.
Anyone have suggestions on getting better battery life with CM7? I'm running the stock kernel at 245/800, ondemand, deadline. Also running V6 supercharger at 5.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've gotten 12+ hours today of cm7.2 7/15 nightly and barely at 50%
Did lots of recordings and such.
Dunno
I don't use the v6 script, or do any mods at all.
Just run it as is.
Stock battery too.

Yeah I've gone back to 7/15 to see if it's any better. I seem to remember it being better; I'll report back later today. Still curious why cell standby is the main battery eater on CM7 (or AOSP ROMs in general) as compared with say, SSX or newSENSE, which was the display...

Aosp shows true signal where Sense won't. So AOSP having a cell standy over display sounds about right. Sense always thinks it has signal and AOSP has no signal thanks to sprint. In my area Sprint blows, so that's what I *think

This is better.. I went back to the previous nightly (20120715) for a few days now. Still moderate use.
I'm currently running the stock kernel at 245/1.21, ondemand, deadline. Without V6 supercharger and I didn't flash the ICS theme either.
Perhaps the 20120722 nightly did not play well with my device.

That is a lot better! Glad it's working better for you now.

If V6 SuperCharger is not setup correctly, or the setting is to high. Your Battery life can take a hit.

Better battery life vipertouch or Yoshi?

Better battery life vipertouch or Yoshi?

Why don't you try them both and see? What one person has in battery life is not what another will have. A variety of factors play into it...or maybe you honestly don't care and just enjoy cluttering the forum with useless threads. This is at least the third I've seen of yours.

I personally had the same battery life on both Roms. The only difference I noticed was that on ViperTouch, my GPS would not work. However, as previously stated, you would need to try it for yourself as my experience may not be yours.

GPS working inn it you just have to download a fix from the play store. And vipertouch Rom is better on battery usage

That was my personal experience with the two roms. I got almost identical battery use. Also for the GPS I tried the fix, it failed to resolve the issue. Though since that I have noticed on other ROMs that changing the I/O scheduler from noop to BFQ resolves the issue.

Both were the same for me as well.

Battery life? + Roms

Does anyone know a Rom that has a lot of battery life with moderate usage? I've tried a lot, but I would like your inputs on it.
While I'm at it, might as well ask all of you what roms your using? I'm using Viper touch 2.1.4 right now.
Edit: using sabsa prime now

And I'm still at 99%

I am using Dark Unicorn 2.5.
I was on CM7 for a few weeks, but the ROM was really slow and everything lagged. For instance, when I turned on the screen and unlocked, it took it roughly 5-10 seconds to respond before I could do anything. Other features didn't work, including the Market. I read over 100 posts about this Market issue, and couldn't resolve it. It led me to Dark Unicorn.
Dark Unicorn is insane amazing. Everything works (except720p recording). I have had no bootloops, no random shutoffs, nothing. I am trying to kill the battery as we speak and I cant! I just had the screen on full bright ON all the time, wireless, GPS, bluetooth, and music on for the last 2 hours and it only dropped 20%. I left it on all night with the screen off, 100% charge and it was still 100% in the morning. That includes the Data + Sync being on. On top of it all, I have it clocked at 1.2 right now.
I am thoroughly impressed with this ROM. I cannot gripe because I appreciate the developers work, however, if I had to have one complaint it's that there is no option to turn of haptic feedback for the screen off and on slide. I have disabled it all across the phone, but when unlocking it vibrates.
For anyone who cares, I am using the MDJ Kernel as well.
:good:

Nice I'll try that ROM again! Last time I had some CPU problems, but that was all my fault lol.

Biggest battery
What would be the largest battery for this phone. Right now I'm using the one I got with the phone. On the box it says the battery is 1500mAh, and on the battery it says it's 1400mAh. But what is the largest battery in mAh. And would a anker battery be better even though it's the same mAh? And can someone find me a link

Well... I got another question. People say royal ginger gets them Lots if battery life

There are "oversized" batteries but you have to take off the rear metal plate and you can't use cases designed for the OE phone size specs. The largest I think I've seen was something like 3500 mAh (again, no rear metal plate to hold battery in but they come with an extra one that's extended and holds the larger battery in otherwise it would fall out), largest that actually fits inside the phone was like 1600 mAh. Perfect for playing Ingress but terrible for using as a daily driver.

Just show you know, battery calibration is a placebo. It's a waste of time. Just flash at 100% and call it good.

CM 7 with darkside kernel aosp by derek jay gets me wicked good battery life. I can easily get 2 days on lite use or 24 hours on heavy use. I don't play games just browse make calls and text a lot. I would go to another rom but I need stability and working wifi calling. No matter how hard I try I can't say no to my MyTouch 4G. Already replaced a cracked screen and now replacing the keypad for a broken and now missing home key.

try vipertouch, its not bad with battery life and maybe you will like it
