I need the help choosing ROM i don't care about performance what i am looking for is best battery. I am not sure but my battery draining way to fast.
Please help. I need my phone to last at least 12 hours.
I use sacs custom rom w/ kt kernel. I underclock it amd use a conservative cpu governer. I also use gsam battery monitor. I find that a ton of the battery is used by the screen. I keep it at the lowest level most of the time. When that's too dark I only go up enough for it to be viewable. I also turned off location services and all the gimmicks and useless stuff. Currently at 8 hours with 42% left.

Because there have been numerous "what's the best ROM?" Threads and have been a closed. Because they don't really benefit the community.

i would say try a custom kernel.. i get better battery life rocking a custom kernel.. the stock MF9 kernel seems to give alot of users battery problems
It seems as though the reason why your phone is dying so quickly is that really low signal strength. Also, please attach a screenshot of the application use as well. Two hours isn't that bad of a screen time, I get around the same as well.
Try one of the stock debloated roms and go from there. You might not want to get into a custom rom, they are more for added tweaks and customization's. If youre not into that than just go stock, and maybe go back to the KT kernel. Ive had really good results with going stock and debloating myself.

No one can choose a ROM for you and no one knows better than YOU for what you like.
There is no substitute for reading about the software you are about to drastically alter your $700 device with.
Also no one uses their phone EXACTLY like you, have the same signal conditions, etc so most likely no one will get the same battery life as YOU

Due to the overwhelming amount of posts in many Rom threads, it is quite difficult even with the search option to find what you are looking for. As many of us who visit XDA on a daily basis realize, a large number of these posts are very repetitive. "Which kernel should I use for the best battery life?" "What Kernel will be the smoothest on my phone?" "Oh you have (Insert Kernel Here) Kernel, what kinda of battery life are you getting?" The questions in regards to battery life, kernels, and performance go on and on. I came up with an idea for a thread and after talking to a MOD about it decided to go ahead and get it started.
The Purpose of this Thread:
-Compile fellow EVO user's experiences with certain Rom and Kernel setup's in order to help all of us get the best performance and battery life with our EVO.
-To help cut down on the amount of repetitive posting about Kernels, Battery Life, and SetCpu in Rom threads. This is a forum and it is about makings posts, but many times people end up posting questions related to these things that have already been answered but may be hard to find.
-To give members a central thread for optimal performance based on other users experiences.
-To help other members find what Kernels, SetCPU settings, and other options will work best based upon their Hardware version.**I bring the hardware version up because it seems like certain things I.E. Kernels and certain settings do not play well with certain Hardware versions of the Evo.**
-To provide an Informational thread based on your experiences to help out everyone.
Please Note:
-This thread is NOT a place to go to war with others over which Rom is best or to bad mouth other Roms, everyone has their own preferences remember that.
-In order to keep this thread as clean and productive as possible, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ASKING QUESTIONS HERE!
-If you have a question for an individual, PM them.
-If you have a question in regards to a Kernel, refer to the kernels thread.
-If you have a question in regards to SetCPU use the Q&A or your roms thread.
-If there is a basic question that often comes up on the Evo forums I will try to
provide links to the information.
-This thread is to be NON BIASED.
**My hopes would be that enough members post their personal stats and info here that on an OP I can list each rom, the hardware versions of the phone and what set ups seem to work the best with them. This info would be based on a general consensus based upon the information posted here.**
What to Post:
-Rom and Rom version that you are using. (I.E. Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 4) PLEASE make the font for this RED so users can easily spot which rom you are on when looking through this thread.
-Current Software version on your phone. (I.E. 3.30.651.3)
-Hardware version of your phone. (0001,0002,0003 or 0004) Please make this RED also.
-This is found under: Settings>About Phone>Hardware Information.
-The Kernel that you are using, the full name. (I.E. netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass-universal)
-SetCPU? If so, what kind of settings are you using?
-Any kind of battery tweak? (I.E. Colin pH method)
-How would you rate your usage, and what is you awake time? (I.E. Minimal, Moderate, Heavy)(Awake Time:Settings>Battery)
-On a day to day basis what do you use your phone for?
-What kind of battery life are you getting? (On full charge: I.E. 16 hours)
-The Pros/Cons of this setup. (Cons if there are any)
-Why you would recommend this set up to others? (Again, please do not use this to slander other roms)
If you choose to contribute to this thread, Thank you for reading through this and for your contribution. I think if we can make something of this thread we can all benefit a lot from it. If you have any suggestions on what I should add to this please feel free to post it with your info or PM me if your not posting. I will try to update as much as possible, and of course that will depend on the reply that I get.
Reserved for future use
I would state the awake time instead of asking if they are a moderate/heavy...seems less opinionated even though someone with 5 hours awake time with idle cpu is not the same as 3 hours under heavy load.

Thank you sir, I went ahead and just added it in with it. Then we get the idea from both ways. If you have anything else just let me know. I would appreciate it!
i think you should post what kind of battery you are using
is it the standard 1500 mAH battery or the other extended battery
so people won't get lost
This is a good place to start, but it's difficult to get a good idea because there are too many variables that affect battery life from user to user. In addition, my light usage could be your moderate. Then people run different programs which will affect identical setups. Just throwing these things out there if you wonder why you aren't getting the same battery life as someone with same setup.
I'll go first....
I actually think this is an awesome idea. I think the idea of "not every phone is created equally" is a little over-exaggerated with the evo. Maybe we can start finding some similarities.
Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 4
3.30.651.3
0003
HTC Kernel #17. (I also tried the King's #11 (i think) and got horrible battery drain!)
Not using SetCPU
No Battery tweaks
Moderate usage. Not sure on awake time. I will edit this later today to add.
Mostly phone calls. A couple of texts and emails. Some games while I'm on the throne. The occasional web search.
I get maybe 12-14 hours of battery life.
PRO's:
-it's pretty looking
-a themed rosie launcher.
CON's:
-I got better battery life with Fresh 3.4.0.1 and stock kernel.
-Doesn't offer the original HTC #11 kernel like Fresh does. Anyone have a link to it?
I would recommend this setup to anyone that wants a good looking rom that has lots of customization options. I use it mostly because of the look of it. But, it is quick, scores well on quadrant, and gets decent battery life... It is not the best I have found... but it will get you through most of a day on moderate usage.
---
Can someone tell me... does the battery life depend on how the kernel plays with the ROM? I could get about 20-24 hours of battery life on Fresh with kernel #11. Now that I'm on Myn's and I could find the #11 kernel again, would I get the same battery life?
Good point. One of my biggest goals is to help people who wish to flash a custom kernel find the right one that is friendly with the Rom and most importantly the hardware version. Imo a rather a kernel is going to work with a phone or not has to do a lot with the hardware.

Doubt it but what is true is that you and the OP did not even bother to read the rules or the stickies .
Thousands of battery drain posts all identical you cannot expect members to continually point out the basics that is not what this forum is for .
jje
You might need to close all your running applications. Plus close wifi, sync & others when not in need. Or it could also be your downloaded apps that have advertisements on it. This will automatically lights up your phone even on stand by mode. Try uninstalling them, download ad free apps on google play so you will know what are your installed apps that have ads on it. Hope these help!
Depending on what you are running on your phone, ie; Stock Samsung Official Firmware or Custom Firmware Via CWM etc,
There are many many posts about battery drain & how to solve the problem, I thought the same, but I persisted and found what I needed.
OK, I am sure you know about custom roms, some stable, some not. many have battery drain problems, many dont.
I advise if you are running a custom rom, go to the thread for that rom and read about any problems about battery, if not post in the thread
and ask the person who made the rom for help. battery drain could be anything, which includes a bad flash or installation.
Anyway I hope you get sorted.
Every time i hear somebody suggests To close almost everything that make a smartphone deferent than a common phone I wonder if android has many problems to solve.. A smartphone is smart because of the services that it offers...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Totally agree redcom7, a smartphone is just that, if everything is turned off then what's the point???
Android is not perfect but it is pretty dam good, battery drain issues are more likely in custom roms.
I am running a custom rom which I researched prior to install, now it's in it lasts on average 14 - 19 hrs longer than the Official Firmware
and that is with everything running.
You are right everything does not need turned off, just a bit of common sense mixed with research and everything should be fine. :good:
I am running omega rom.
The thing is that when I flashed this rom it didn't have battery issues. But now it does!
So I thought an application drains the battery and I wiped everything but it still drains it.
The app is called media as you can see on my screenshot.
I really don't know what to do...
I wiped battery stats and it seems better now...
I'm thinking of changing kernel. Would that help?

My phone battery timing is about a day with normal usage.
Its 4.1 J.B
And I also want to find out some new tips and tricks.
Thanks.

Depends on use. Stock I only get about 7 hours with my use. With tweaking I usually double my battery life.

You have the media scanner bug. There are various solutions but the most common one is to reformat your SD card.
You can stop it happening temporarily by force closing media scanner but it will return when you reboot the phone.

ROM Sotmax Ultimate V8
Kernel Yank555.lu-V2.7a
'Rescan media root' solved a problem I was having with battery drain from media.
Also, I also used to think that shutting down some android services was defeating the purpose of having a smart phone. Unfortunately, I was losing 20-30% battery when at work for about 5 hours. Recently I've started switching off data while working (I can't use my phone when working anyway) and now my drain over the same amount of time would be around 5%.

Anyone can help me with experiences with a kernel that has great battery life? I'm travelling to NYC (8 hours flight) so I would love to get the best out of the battery of my N7.
I would try 1 by 1 but my travel is tomorrow.. So yeah

I use the Faux Ultimate Kernel, and I simply under clock it when I want more battery life. I've managed to get almost a week out of it with moderate use, while being under clocked.

There is no "best" kernel or rom, They're opinions and subjective as it depends on your apps, usage and settings which is why these type of "best" or "fave" topics are not allowed on XDA.

Maybe I got the title wrong. I just would like to hear experiences on battery life with kernels. That's it. I don't have time to try kernels at the moment :/
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
If you don't have time to experiment, then pick and Kernel which supports under clocking and under clock it for more battery life. That should help a little bit.
But like TheATHEiST said, there is no best, only preference.

True... but I don't think the OP was looking for 'best'... just garnering opinion on 'optimum'...(which I suppose might be regarded as semantic hair splitting; and so perhaps this should have been posted in 'General' instead of 'Q & A').
And in any case, if such threads aren't allowed, then this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151963 is in serious breach of the rules.

For what it's worth, franco kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823671) offers pretty good battery life... in my experience.

i'd go with franco or m kernel

Ive had good battery life on intersect raven, m-kernel and motley. you can also try setting the max active cores of these kernels to 2, with minimal loss to performance (it's a bit sluggish for multitasking though)

Ok Folks, you all know the rules about Best/Favorite Roms and Kernels and such. Not allowed due to flame wars sometimes starting.
Roms and Kernels are personal opinions, and what works best on 1 device, may behave differently on another. This is the way it is. The best method, is to read the kernel threads, and try a couple different ones.

Hello,
I'm trying to use an app called Call Recorder. The app has an option to use two-way records, working only on custom kernel that supports this feature.
So I was trying to install Franco's kernel and it had the work done, but I found out it is KILLING my battery (very surprisingly actually). The stock kernel works great for me in battery and every other aspect.
My question is if there is a really close-to-stock kernel that supports two-way recording, and if there isn't I would be happy to have a piece of advice about a good kernel that isn't downgrading my battery level (or that is bad in any other aspect).
Thanks in advance.

First of I want to say that if you ever visited Franco's thread you know that he don't make kernels that drain out your battery. In fact the opposite. Have you tracked your app with 2 way recording could be the culprit of your battery drain? There isn't really any info from you on what you have enabled and disabled. Such as rogue apps that can eat up your memory, high voltages on top of your frequencies. Takers conflicting with each other. Basically anything conflicting with each other cause battery drain. Like CPU apps. What governor your using. Try adjusting your kernel to optimize battery life. Disable functions that you don't use. Get rid of any taskers. Android does a good job of managing memory on its own. Please do your research before you go blaming someone's kernel for your battery drain. FYI rogue apps have been known to cause wake locks so figure out what's causing that too if your suffering from that as well. 90% percent of the time its a user error on battery drain.
Have you tried this?

Hey.
You can assume, despite your habit, that I am not a complete retard. Of course my battery will drain if I change my usual activities and run software that drains my battery. You can assume that I didn't play hardcore games after installing the kernel and then go complain. His kernel, I don't care for the tech explanations, did cause me a battery drain and I can prove it. I didn't ask from you to argue about his kernel's quality but asked for advice about other one.
Your disrespectful comments won't help.

usually after flashing a new kernel, the battery for the first 2 cycles are inaccurate. the third cycle and after is usually much better.
I wasn't being disrespectful. Your the one who couldn't elaborate as to why your battery was draining so fast. If you knew what I told you then you would've tried all those things first beforecoming here to q n a and complaining about francos kernel. Where did I explain any of francos kernel features? Its very easy to know that his kernel is the best at battery life. I guarantee if you went on his thread complaining about how his kernel doesn't have your feature you would be met with laughter and a sarcastic response like "who has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap? Francisco Franco. How you doing?". Instead of taking my advice as a negative shot at your ego, maybe try them out and see if it improves. Honestly, I tried out every kernel in this forums and none of them that I know of support your "two-way recording feature". I don't even think its a kernel related issue at all. Since you love my advice so much I will give you one more piece. If your going to ask for a feature for a kernel, don't start off complaining about how this kernel or that kernel is the reason why your battery sucks at battery life. Not your own words but i figured that that's what a dev would see it as. You can take my responses any way you want it but bottom line. Your just another user not using his brain.instead of coming over here looking for someone to spoon feed you answers. Look for yourself. If you don't find what your looking for, be polite and request a feature instead of telling a dev their kernel drains your battery because I will tell you he may say something similar to my first response to your op. Have a nice day.
Edit: by the way, I looked at this call recorder app you spoke of. Now where does it say you need a custom kernel to enable two way calling feature. So this makes your argument invalid.

If your going to ask for a feature for a kernel, don't start off complaining about how this kernel or that kernel is the reason why your battery sucks at battery life. Not your own words but i figured that that's what a dev would see it as. You can take my responses any way you want it but bottom line. Your just another user not using his brain.instead of coming over here looking for someone to spoon feed you answers. Look for yourself. If you don't find what your looking for, be polite and request a feature instead of telling a dev their kernel drains your battery because I will tell you he may say something similar to my first response to your op. Have a nice day.
Edit: by the way, I looked at this call recorder app you spoke of. Now where does it say you need a custom kernel to enable two way calling feature. So this makes your argument invalid.

First of all, the kernel causes battery drain for ME and it's a fact that I could prove. Secondly, your advice is irrelevant because I probably wouldn't be complaining if I'd use things that drain my battery after installing his kernel (Doh?). Oh and the two-way recording worked on Franco's kernel if you didn't realize, and it doesn't work on stock. It is a kernel feature.
Anyways, it is not a discussion about Franco's kernel quality. if you don't believe that it causes battery drain for me it is your right, but it is not related to the thread (and I wouldn't "give a crap" about Franco's response to this, as you stated). The reasons I felt that your post was disrespectful are that you don't believe me that it causes my battery to drain and that you give me ways to save battery juice while I know how to do so, didn't ask for it and it is not relevant to my case at all.
If you're so smart and I can't be reasonable enough to know what's draining my battery, please take my piece of advice and don't waste your precious time on posting here at all.
Have a nice day.

For the moment I run pure nexus with full satisfaction, I get a screen on time of 5 hours, which is great but longer is always better.
Is there a rom with very good battery control, kernel tweaked and all?

No
There's no such thing. What you're asking is a subjective question, it depends on the user. The only way to find out which is best for you is through your own testing.
If I might add, attaining the best SOT is mostly about what you're willing to sacrifice.. performance, brightness, connectivity, etc.
Hence, a lot of this will be relative to how you use your device as Heisenberg already stated.

Thanks mate, been a mod for a little over a year now. Good to see you around these parts
Everyone's milage varies. I'm on PN right now and will hit 5hrs sot today. Been off the charger for over 24 hrs too. That is something that people fail to mention sometime. On a fresh charge and constant use I'm sure I could hit between 6 or 7 sot. I just don't have that much to look at haha. PN is a good stable place to be to get great battery life and great performance. I often find myself looking for that ultimate set up and it becomes hard to judge because I use my phone differently everyday. Hope this helps

these kind of questions still exist.. XD well that is XDA for you!
to the OP's question, mate if i were you i would just try out a couple of different roms to test out the battery life.
(sorry no n6p user here, but i think you should give Roms a try that come with cmte, roms that come cm source might give you abit more battery life.) 5 hours sot is already very good , good luck!
