Hi, this is my question: what is the best ROM for the battery life? Because i have try CM10.2 and whit medium utilization the battery lasts me one day or less . I saw that in some cases the battery life of defy with CM11 is better than CM10.2 but i have no time to try and not all is so.
Now i'm back to original stock rom (2.3.6) because with this rom the battery lasts two day with my normal utilization.
There is a Rom where the battery life during more or the same (and possibly with Android jelly bean or higher because I bought a lg g pad and the Qpair app does not work with older versions of Android )?
Sorry for my bad english
Ps: the other thread with this question are very very very old

Hello,
I'v tried 3 ROM's (gingeryoshi 1.2, froyo by lazlo(last one)) and different kernels but on 2.2.x or 2.3.x my G1 get battery drain really fast..
Now I'm using COS-DS 2.3.4 and the battery drain is lower (when the mobile is on "stand by" drains really lower.. But when I get a call (2.. or 3 minutes..) or use Camera, Internet.. etc it consume battery really fast. (From the 3 ROM's above the one that giveme best baterry life on 2.x.x was COS-DS).
When I use my mobile on 1.x (1.5... 1.6) android ROM the baterry last's better than in those 2.x.x ROMs.
So here is my question.. I need sugestions of ROMs and Kernels for battery saving (I use the mobile a lot).
Thx a lot
I
Anyone can helpe me?
you're going to have to find a rom that you like and then flash a undervolted kernel over it. im using cm7 magpie with an undervolted kernel and battery is good but not great. most roms don't have amazing battery life since they are for speed. the g1 never had great battery life anyway. if you want good battery get an extende battery off ebay.
Thx a lot, do u sugest any kernel to froyo by lazlo with undervloting settings?
The kernel that I'm using with FBL 5.2 is the [email protected] #145. I've tried many with that ROM but this one seem to be working great and I've gotten the best battery life from it. With the radio off, I get over 6-7 hours before it drains a percent or two. With the radio on and I'm stationary with a decent signal, I get only 1 percent drain per 1 1/2 hour when the radio is in standby.
I flashed the kernel after I setup the phone and most of the apps I use. I also flashed this kernel on my wife's G1 with SuperBler v4 and it made a huge difference also. Give it a try. Good luck.
Will a Froyo rom be more conservative regarding battery life than a gingerbread one in the G1?
depends on the rom
Two days ago I installed Cyanogenmod SDSL4 on my GT540.
I knew that such ROM would drain more battery than stock ROMs, yet it's draining too much battery, a lot more than I was expecting: with stock ROMs my device would stay alive for more than 3 days without a recharge, while with this ROM it went off during both the nights passed since the installation!
Is it normal that with this mod battery life went down to ~30% of stock ROM?
I'd like to flash my device again with a ROM that drains less battery, what do you suggest? Would it be possible to quantify the average battery life for the different ROMs?
Also, from a technical point of view, why are some ROMs draining battery so much more quickly than others?

- it is normal that custom roms eat a lot more battery
-> you could try to calibrate the battery (app on market) might give you some extra life
- the most batteryfriendly is definitely 2.1 ROM (stock or modded, eg Eleganceswift) then 2.2 (very good ROM: utopia or superfastfroyo)
2.3.x is well known for the battery problems (on every ROM)
quantification ? well :
2.1 100 % "batterypoints" ~ 3 days
2.2 66 % "batterypoints" ~ 2 days
2.3 33 % "batterypoints" ~ 1 day only
- technical view : i think there are many facts but mostly the features of 2.2/2.3
Thanks for the answer.
I like this ROM, but it's not worth to me if the battery lasts this short.
I'll move back to 2.1 for now, but am planning to try 2.2 soon.
Looking at some 2.1 ROM posts I had the impression that they are better in everything with respect to the custom ROM (they say custom ROMs drain less battery, are more stable and have a few fixes). Is that true?
I want a 2.1 ROM with fastboot mode enabled (but I guses all of them have fastboot already).
Other than that I'm not sure about the differences between the several 2.1 custom ROMs: which one would you guys suggest (and why)?
Quarx black would be I think the Best. Modded kernel and theme
i dont think there is a post for this rom so i am uploading the rom and posting the link here
i will say that 2.2 and up is better then 2.1 but for battery life yes its best all newer phones like the htc sensation or galaxy sII can hold more then a full day
quarx black link:

Thanks for the suggestion, and sorry for my delay.
Could find a link to Quarx's official thread (it's in russian, but browser's translator is doing a great job) on the ROMs thread.
Is the version linked on that site newer than yours?
And how big does my system partition need to be?
System 250MB and data 134MB like with the stock ROM?
EDIT: Could answer myself to the latest question: here they say a 150MB partition for system is enough for Quarx.
Any ideas what the best rom with best battery life for ics is for G2? Id prefer ics or above. I just rooted my moms g2 and put cm9 on it version 3, she loves it but I want to know if there is a better one with good battery life. I ordered her an anker and will calibrate when it gets in.

I used the ics sense ROM sabsa prime (v12 with sense 4a and therefore no landscape mode, since v13 it has sense 4.1 with landscape) and i got up to 2d battery life with stock battery.
Activated mobile internet and wlan only when needed, wrote some sms per day and did a few calls every now and then.
So i really can recommend this ROM (battery life for the new v14 i cant tell)

If you want best battery life you're probably going to have to go with ICS because that's stable so we don't know what may be affecting battery life on JB ROMs at the moment, also Sense is heavy and bloated so go with AOSP or CyanogenMod. Having said that I'm running Andromadus CM10.1 build 16 and am at 26% with 5 days 20 hours without a charge, so basically go for a ROM which feels good at low clock speed (and yes, not overclocked, if you really want to have good battery life you're not gonna want to go above stock clock speed).
No "Best rom threads" as pointed out in Guide Sticky

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.

I've tried cyanogenmod 12.1 and 13. They give terrible battery life...
Plus I've tried phronosis v5.2 which is ok..but not that much great with battery life..
So, which is the best ROM for note 3 considering battery life(without lag)?

Try Stock ROM or AryaMod (stock based) and flash Lean or Idle Kernel for battery life.
because Stock gives better battery anyday!
bob
Testet many roms but best and stabale battery friendly is aryamaod 5.3
The best is still debloated Kit Kat rom, either from jamal or rayman95 ☺

Try to look at ROM as linux distros.
Every ROM is bunch of apps,graphic and services put together while kernel is the one who makes the calls.
Kernel tells how every piece of hardware is going to be used including battery/cpu/gpu.
By installing custom kernel and lowering max freq. and minimizing active services you should get best results.
There are also undervolting uoptions and much more.
All in all its sad that you didint even bother to read any of existing articles about how android works ,battery management and kernel optimization.
Here are few articles you should read.
