[Q] best rom and kernel for a long battery life

i don't care about gpu or overclocking my device.. all i want is to unplugged the n4 form charger and go working in the morning and at night before bad to put it back in the charger - without it dieing on my before..
i had htc sensation and it last all day for me, i'm now 2 days with the nexus 4 , and after 12 hours the battery is dead.
i'm currently using Cyanogenmod 10.1 18/2/13 nightly . turn off locations, and Facebook sync. using only automatic brightness (witch my the way is very low), WiFi and gps and Bluetooth always off . 3g on.
thank you!

Usage varies across any ROM/kernel combo. No one can really say what's best, because everyone's usage varies. But, I can and will say, I'm having best battery life so far using asylum nightlies with matr1x 7.0 kernel. I have a very strict setup which I'm not getting into, but I am in no way limiting the function of this powerhouse. If that makes any sense. Currently sitting at 63% with almost 3 hours screen time. 50/50 3g/wifi and heavy use. think streaming, gaming, downloads. It would take me a very long time to describe what I do to get this battery life, but I would be willing to explain if needed.

I recommend AOKP build mr3, and Harsh's kernel. No need to tweak anything, everything is done for you and you get great battery life. Just my experience from it.

I'm using paranoidandriod with Franco kernel. I get great battery life all the time every time. Download the kernel and leave the settings as is and let it do it's thing.
Note: This has been asked too many times. You can search up the old ones and you'll pretty much get the same answers that it all depends on what you do. Battery life is subjective. It depends on the user. If someone only uses their phone for calls and text they will get awesome battery life. If another person has the same setup as the first they did play lots of game and play videos and such, battery life would not be so great. Thus, both users will tell you different answers.
Just try them out and see for yourself.

Battery life tips?

My nexus 4 has dissapointing battery life, can someone please tell me any tips to increase the battery life? Obviously, lower the brightness, dont have too many apps running, try not to browse on chrome for too long, etc etc. Does anyone use any of the battery saving apps out there? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks. Also, I dont understand why there are no mods/cases with an extended battery. Obviously the battery is not easily removed but I'd be fine with a thicker nexus4 if I could double my battery life.

root it and run custom ROMs and kernels, undervolt it and whatnot.
You can just buy a portable battery pack you know.. They aren't exactly expensive and serve the sane purpose as an extended battery case.

When people say that such device has got a disappointing battery life.. I wonder what it means. If a battery offers a sot of 8hrs..would this thing satisfy all?
I've used S3 which people say has got great battery life.. I got more or less the same battery life in s3 as i get from nexus 4...
Anyways..trying custom kernel and undervolting.it could give you better results..

Agreed. I have friends with s3s, one x and iphone5, and I honestly do not think the battery is bad at all. I'm pretty sure the battery lasts longer for me than for them. And I'm not one for "disabling features" either.
I'm running wifi/data both on and I never manually disable anything. My GPS is on 24/7, and I have all tracking options enabled (for google now). Using auto-brightness though. Still get 4h SOT and I stay 30+h normally without a charge. I do not game alot on my phone though!
I recently re-flashed google stock images (4.2.2) and franco's kernel. Also undervolted but if I dont get any "better" (in terms of heat) results I will definatly remove the undervolting.

This what you doing is putting up one heavy burden on the battery.Never disabling wifi/data & GPS on 24/7..Still getting 4Hrs sot out of 30hrs total battery life .If this is not great than i wonder what great would be..There is only Razor max which is gonna satisfy in terms of battery
PS->If you game a lot on Nexus 4,then the battery wont last longer

Guys u can try deep sleep battery saver app aka ds battery saver.....it puts your phone into deep sleep as soon as screen goes off.........getting 10+ hrs on single charge.......mhav a try

Have you tried Battery Guru? Developed by Qualcomm specifically for the Snapdragon S4 to improve battery life

You can try greenify, I believe the concept of this app is great and overnight on WiFi and the rest left on I loose only 2-3 percent. And wakelocks are pretty much gone.

Battery life on the early 4.4 builds

So lots of people were complaining that the new features would take a hit on the battery life on 4.4...
So, I decided to test it, it was phenomenal.... Google now activated all the time with Google reporting on too.
My battery last for a period of 12 hours with a sot of 5+ hours.....Google now is a very handy feature to me and this update just rocked it.....the idle battery time is good too as I was able to get 24 hours of battery with 4 hours sot.
I am thoroughly impressed.

I can't wait until we get the official OTA. It should make it even better. I think 4.3 was terrible in terms of battery, just awful. I was constantly charging my phone. I really hope 4.4 helps me out.

Overall 4.3 has been reported worse battery life for a majority of HTC One users (there was a poll) and overall among all phones. Its because they did not properly execute some of the background applications. 4.4 fixes that.

my htc one dev converted to google edition has been great as well on 4.3
I also have a nexus 5 and was easily getting 5 hours SOT for the whole day of use. Same battery too. I cant wait for 4.4 GE for the one though. I hope it comes with ART as it was really good on the nexus 5. Not holding my breath tho as the nexus 4 / 7 dont have it.

You're one out of hundreds of thousands of users. I don't get why you're so adamant in refusing to believe anything that's different from what you have experienced. I could get amazing battery life from 4.3 too, if i turned off every single damn thing and used it as if it was a dumb phone. Battery life for me has been ****tier compared to 4.2.2 as well.

because i can and because i normally pulls 16-20 hours on a charge with 4.3 with everything turned off and normal use and others do the same thing
99% of the time if a user is getting crappy battery life its dude to wake locks that is normally caused by the user that installed an app that is not playing well and wanting to sleep ..
hey all im saying is the majority of the people i know have GREAT battery life with 4.3

Lol 4.3 IS wakelock city, as much as you refuse to believe so. With the exact same apps, on 4.2.2 i use to get about 2% usage overnight. Now? I'm lucky if I wake up with 85% down from 100%. So while yes I can pull 16 - 20 hours with 4.3, its a far cry from what I use to get on 4.2.2.
It really depends on what you define as "great" battery life. I'd consider 2 days + of usage and 4 hours SOT to be great. 16 - 20 hours is just ok.

I agree about 4.3 + sense 5.5 being bad for battery , altough i do get better deep sleep with 4.3 the overall screen time usage is worse !
Here examples from my experience:
4.2.2 = Average 6/7 screen time no matter what i do ( no gaming ) , 4.2.2 gaming from 100 to 10% a8 = 3:30 / 3:50 average
4.3 + sense 5 = average 6-7:20 hrs screen time + much much better deep sleep + better temperatures . average gaming 3:50 / 4:20 A8
4.3 + sense 5.5 = average 5:30 / 6hrs TOPS screen time , temperatures MUCH worse , gaming = 3:15 / 3:30 TOPS a8 , deep sleep worse then 4.3 + sense 5.
I think what reduced our battery life a bit is sense 5.5 not 4.3 as much as sense , i've tried MANY roms , MANY kernels and the stats i wrote above are from STOCK kernel + custom roms.
I deffinetely in overall 4.3 + sense 5.5 has reduced our battery for about 20% then it was.
Too bad sense 5.5 is so much better then sense 5 i just can't go back to 4.3 + sense 5 which was without doubt king of battery life. Hopefully we will gain back our lost 20% and even better perhaps GAIN some battery with 4.4.
On the other hand GPE 4.3 deffinetely is better then 4.2.2 gpe. Tho i can't give up from sense so worthless to me.
@CheesyNutz
I lose average 0/1% in deep sleep of 10hrs , but the deep sleep / wakelocks aren't issue , actuall usage consumes more then before.
If you guys need proof about my stats i could post screen shoots.
Edit , here screenshots see for yourself :
1st 7 pics are from 4.2.2 (1/7 pics )
2nd 7 pics are from 4.3 + sense 5.0 (7/14 pics)
Last 6 pics are from 4.3 + sense 5.5 ( 14/20 pics )
Imagine my frustration i've lost from 1 up to 1:30 hrs screen time, you can clearly see i've always had insane deep sleep so it's not that.

There is no sign of Android System or Google Services. I'm happy.

Any further infos guys?
Like what firmware/baseband you using?
Because i really think about to flash 4.4 as my daily driver (currently stucking with 4.3 GPE rom).

Well I have just upgraded to stock Kitkat - PK Version. I haven't faced any issue regarding drainage of my battery. I can safely say that battery consumption on newer version of my Note II is better than the previous one (or atleast it isn't worst than older 4.1.1). Have you tried stock 4.4.2 ?

The Xtream ROM has the UltraPower Saving mode and you can tur it on when need it.

Maybe it's aging problem ?

Help me understand my battery

Nexus 6p running 7.1.1 beta. Rooted, but running stock ROM and kernel. Only modifications are Pixel launcher and Google Assistant. Brightness at 10-15%. Wi-Fi is on while the screen is on only, but Bluetooth and mobile data are always off. Location services are set to battery saving. Screen timeout set to 30 seconds. Adaptive brightness and ambient display is off. I'm only getting 3hrs SOT, but standby time is great. Only watch one hour of YouTube altogether and use social media often. Is this good or is there something wrong with my battery? ?

I get 4 hrs of SOT
Average use daily is checking e-mails - checking Facebook and Twitter - Youtube and Music streaming - no games.... Sometimes, it drains without even doing that and I barely pass a day without charging it.....
PS:
The Screen on time is inconsistent as it might be just 2 hrs or 3 hrs and it would be consumed completely!
Is there a ROM or an app or anything that can help me get better SOT?
Thanks and apologies for the message, I now know that it was unnecessary.

Make sure you let it run for a couple full cycles and you have to read it correctly. You can't get useful stats the minute you install it because it needs to run through full cycles while charging and unplugged, as it can only provide information for the time it's been installed. The longer you run it, the more accurate it is. Second, the App Usage stat is a percentage of the percentage of battery used. So if your battery is at 70% when you look at app usage and it says those things used 57% of the battery, that's 57% of the 30% used to that point.
You also need to look at the Held Awake stats because that will tell you what, if any, processes are keeping your phone awake and thus contributing to drain.
I have found that the system in Nougat does tend to use more battery than it did in MM. However, doze implementation is better and it deep sleeps more and does a better job of saving battery. In fact since Nougat, I've stopped using Greenify because it actually seemed to make my battery worse. Since I've been on Nougat I get well over a day on a charge with about 5-5:30 SoT. However, battery also comes down to what ROM and kernel you use and how much you do processor and screen intensive tasks. Music streaming doesn't tend to use much battery, but if you spend a lot of time web surfing, Youtube and games, you'll cook your battery no matter what. If you use the Facebook app, nothing you can do will help as it's a dreadful battery suck.

Here are the numbers provided by the GSam App
Are these numbers good or bad?
The average use gets me through the day but if I use it heavily, it would last 3hrs max.
