S5: Best ROM&Kernel for battery life & stability - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for the best S5 900F (klte) rom&kernel with a focus on battery life and stability. Customizability, user friendliness and 'snappiness' are also important. Heavy performance less so.
I'm currently on CM 12.1 nightlies. Not unhappy, but battery life isn't spectacular and stability is so-so. And I was hoping there were perhaps even better things now.

TouchWiz vs AOSP

Don't see anything on the S4 thread related to this.
I've seen some people claiming that TW is faster and more battery efficient than any of the AOSP roms including CM11.
Any insights from people on this that have tried both?
Pls comment on battery life, snappiness, benchmarks if possible.
I'll start
OmniRom (AOSP based)
- battery hog. Uses 20% overnight. I always Greenify my apps
- 27000-29000 on Antutu
- feels sluggish
MapleLeaf rom (TouchWiz)
- 2% overnight. Seems very efficient, I can use the line on the battery chart as a ruler because it's so straight.
- feels snappier
- Antutu 25k
Not sure if I just used a bad nightly or what, but pls share experiences. Thanks

i9500 Roms Favouring battery life

So, despite performance being something I am heavily interested alongside with pretty themes(minimalist) I really do care about something manufacturers don't give a **** about any more and that is battery life.
My question is directed towards i9500 users, I am trying to figure out which rom has best battery performance, all CM roms seem to be underperforming+ poor battery life.. I am looking for something that supplies me with REALLY good battery performance, can you guys tell me which rom does it for you?
what you are looking for is kernel rather than a rom.
all touchwiz based roms will give you +- the same performance and battery life.
to increase battery life you should Tweak your system with Greenify, Unbounce and Kernel so you could undervolt your cpu.

cm11 based, Battery life.

I've used Touchwiz and CM11 based ROM's however, for some reason the touchwiz roms give far better battery life. Are there any cm11 based roms, or cm11 itself, that have good battery life? I'm talking all day battery good sleep etc. Get at me!

Hows battery on Nougat compared to MarshMallow ?

I've been notified that Nougat is available on my phone but I'm hesitant to install as I've read lots of conflicting information.
How is battery life on Nougat compared to Marshmallow ?
Battery life is the most important thing to me so id rather keep the excellent performance I'm getting in exchange for new features ,
Thanks
any updates anyone? how's the battery life and performance? any bugs?
My anecdotal experience is that the battery even lasts a wee bit longer with Nougat. I'm not a "power user" by any means, though, and obviously it all depends on how you use your phone, and how your applications behave with Nougat.
Don't notice any difference, battery life was and is still good on my G4.
Don't have any other bugs either.
There's very little difference between MM and N in terms of battery. If anything, standby is a little bit better than MM.
Anyway, battery life is still excellent.

Q: CFW Suggestions

Hello all!
I'm looking for a stable, up-to-date, light-weight (high battery life, low ram usage, least bloatware) and (almost) bug-free custom rom. Currently using the default MIUI Global 8.2.4.0 and have around 5 days of battery life on daily usage (no hard gaming etc). I'm not happy with the current ram usage of it and the amount of bloatware is more than I would be ok with.
Waiting for your suggestions. Thanks!
