That's a good question. Does anyone know?
I haven't run CM on my Find 5 yet but have read that battery life is better. FWIW recent firmware updates have improved the battery and firefly will be released soon and that has better battery consumption as well. Try CM.. its not like it voids the warranty. If the battery life is not as good flash back to stock!

Just wanted to get some peoples opinions on battery life between the two. After owning the device for 4 days it seems that when I am on AOSP the battery life is somewhat worse but it may just be in my head so I wanted to know what you guys have found.

I would say it will be better on a stock de-bloated rom until someone cracks hardware acceleration in AOSP. I flashed AOKP noticed the CPU loads were almost always about 1.0 higher then the stock rom and I would imagine this is because the CPU is doing all of the canvas drawing.
Guys, as I am truly annoyed by the fact stock JB is draining like hell, I would like to know the best rom available now. If any of you have good experience with a particular rom let me know

Try Adam's ROM I'm getting similar battery life as in ics

It's most likely not a ROM issue. I tried Adams and CM10 and had similar battery life. Make sure you turn off google now (just the cards that need to know your location constantly). It might also be that your update didn't go that well, so you might try a factory reset. It could also be a misbehaving app, so when you do a factory reset, maybe test the ROM before restoring/reinstalling your apps. Also, the more information you give us the better we can help. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I installed the stock factory image 4.0.4 and then waited for the official OTA. I updated and all works well, but I get around 15 hrs on a full charge with some Whatsapp and Facebook use. When I use it more intense with more screentime the battery drains the most. I think a factory reset wont give me more battery life then this, but I know my drain was not so big while I was on ICS.
By the way, which one is the most stable; CW10 (That chocolate river one??) or Jellybelly?

Sounds weird. But also keep in mind that there are still some apps that don't cope very well with JB, and Facebook has never been Androids best friend . But it doesn't make sense that it's only during screen on, most people report issues related to google now and apps doing **** in the background. If you want to switch ROM anyways, I suggest you use Adams Jellybelly, it's mostly stock (less features means less that can go wrong) and it includes thalamus kernel, which is IMHO the best JB kernel at the moment. I do not recommend any CM10 based ROMs if you're after stability. I assume you checked your battery stats and didn't find anything?
Edit: Chocolate river was abandoned when official OTA came afaik, so definitely Jellybelly . Make sure you do a full wipe though, if something's wrong dirty flashing isn't worth it.

Sounds good to me. Downloading Jellybelly now. I checked my battery stats and didn't find anywhing weird. I dont have much apps installed so there is not much that could give issues. When I leave my screen off (at night or while working) the battery life is not that bad. It's weird, but JB is still very fresh and new, so I'll just try some other roms =)
Agreed jelly belly provides the best performance, stability, and battery life

Now running JellyBelly and its much faster then my stock JB

also for me battery life was improved in jb
Wouldn't agree that jellybelly provides best performance and battery. I suggest trying out cm10 v1.2
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I am currently on JellyBelly and the battery life is definitely not better than stock for me. Battery drains like crazy when idling.
BUT, I do have Google Now activated. So really make sure to deactivate if you do not need it.
IMO all ROMs should give similar battery life.

Even with Google now turned on the battery should last some time. Do You get the same time as with ICS when it's deactivated? If not, something's borked .
Even if the battery life isnthe same with Jellybelly, the performance is great!

For some reason Kalin is posting new versions of CM10 on G+ now
Hey guys I got my Nexus 4 a month ago, I am happy with it but I'v been tempted to switch to iPhone 5 because the batter life is better on it " note that i am an android user " but before I want to do the switch I want to ask is there a ROM with 4.2 Jelly bean android that Can like Make the Nexus 4 Last MORE than the stock android that it got ?
and if there is which one is it ?
and is it hard to root + install rom on the N4 ?
Well for starters what is your current battery life stats.
and Also iPhone's are known to have a better battery life than android purely due to the way the OS works. The only devices that can meet or exceed this depending on who you are is the Note 2 and the Razer Maxx

You could root and try some of the different kernels. This effects battery more.
Personally I have found battery life dramatically improved with Franco's Kernel but not everyone/every phone see's the same results so you just have to try them yourself.
Rooting is very easy if you follow the instructions and read carefully.
The Nexus 4 stock is one of the worst Android phones I have owned in terms of battery life (2nd to only the Inspire) but using modified kernels made it much more reasonable for me.
With Next android around the corner(next month), I would not root or install the other ROMS. I was flashaholic Once with myh ARC S. But i have stayed on stock since i got my NEX4.
Stock is good for me. Love the pure android. Just wish KLP brings battery optimizations.

I had the AT&T S3 but yeah the S3 got pretty good battery life for me. Not amazing, but very average. I at least never had to worry about it dieing in 1 day while barely using it, which I can't say for stock N4. I do have one of the very early revisions so things may have gotten better?

Possibly could be the latter. I got my Nexus 4 on Monday so its still a fresh baby but it seems to last longer than my Galaxy S3 ever did :laugh:
I don't find anything that makes my battery last longer. I get a day's use out of it for the most part do I'm happy
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
for battery life get a custom kernel, different rom had no huge effect on battery for me. I have one of the first batches and I'm using franco and it lasts longer than the s3. And also reflashing stock rom may improve your battery life aswell.
Can anyone suggest some best and newest rom for me?
For newest, I mean, roms made in 2013, not those old rom.
Best for me is simply about 3 things:
1, good battery life in standby mode (mine with Cm10 lost few percentage of battery everyday without using it, I don't use my nexus 7 a lot, so I need to have great standby battery life.
2, OTG support
3, rooted and stable, not nightly build. best with android 4.4
thank you in advance!!
try official CM11 M1 just released couple hour ago..
cant said it the best yet...

I´ve tried AOPK, OMNIrom and CM10.1.3 and CM11 and for me the best battery performance I got was from CM 11, battery life is great.
I found AOSB n sensonic having best battery life.. Bt battery life depends on ur usage. 3g, wifi, music, videos n calls. I do a lot chatting on whatsapp n 3g all day on. Used 2 get more than a day battery life. Nw shifted 2 a tw rom for a change..

the ROM with the best battery life that i have tried is DITTO3 v4.1 (android 4.4.2). All Samsung's utilities (s.pen, multiwindows, camera etc etc..) with a more that one day of use (3G and 5/6 hours of screen).
I myself found TouchWiz ROM having better battery life. I do a lot of tweaking on aosp, probam, paranoid, but still found battery life is not so good. I tried custom kernel with undervolt. It doesn't really improve too much battery life. My sot target is 6 to 8 hours.

Which rom are you using? I only get 2-3 hours of screen on time :S
phantom v7.0
I tried a lot many roms.......comparing all...I found carbon had amazing battery life and less bugs compared to other cm11 base aosp roms (excluding cm11).......on tw best was phantom v7....I managed to get 7hrs sot with total time of 1+ days with 3% remaining....full stock.....no tweaks by me (first cycle)....with 5-6 mathches on fifa 14......a lot of facebook and loads of whatsapp....and that too all on mobile data...no wifi
See the screenshots for phantom v7
