Best battery life ROM for Galaxy S2 (I9100) ?

Currently using Resurrection Remix ROM (KitKat 4.4.2) 201401016 # Basic, the older version released in January 2014, but the most nice and fast for me after testing more then 30 ROMs. Everything is fine, at least almost, the only problem which I want to deal with, is a battery life. Got anyone some recommendation for good ROM with nice battery life ? Spending 2% of battery just for booting it up is too much even for me with 3 batteries.
So, I open a poll with some common roms, feel free to submit other ones if they aren't in a poll options.
Thanks

NeatRom it is!

Am on carbon ROM but battery life ain't tht good, but customization is just wonderful

I believe that best ROM threads are not allowed here...

Only stock will give you best battery life. And i recommend NeatRom. Of course it depends on your needs, but you can try any other ROMs based on stock.

Also had a irc client and browser running which it does not show. Torrent client was also running all the time in the background downloading some retro movies. I was also watching documentries off Youtube for 3 hours straight!
IMHO, Gingerbread has best battery amd smoothness among all! I used to get 7 hours screen time on Gingerbread, Sweet!

Regardless of rom, if you are rooted, grab a firewall like AFWall+ and whitelist only those apps you really, really need accessing the internet.
That wins half the battery life battle. For extra life, freeze or uninstall bloatware (particularly those that runs all the time sucking your battery dry).

At the moment, after having installed NeatRom 8th version Kitkat, Some MEDIA task is draining my battery for 58%... WTF. +gallery randomly shows 3-4 folders of 30... By the way thanks for your suggestion, I will try that

You can try an app like BetterBatteryStats to help you analyze and target the root cause(s) of your battery drain.
NOTE: I assume that you are turning off the major battery killers unless you are actively using them. By this I mean the screen, GPS, bluetooth, Wifi, 3G (switch to 2G-only mode), background sync etc.

To get the best battery life on s2 : dorimanx kernel is the best..u are able to reduce voltage/ reduce The clock speed . And still fast . Many more tweaks using stweaks to get the best overall battery/performance . The more battery tweaks or profiles the less performance . Always find whats best for you :highfive:
Rom: Any
Kernel: dorimanx which matches the android version
Phone: galaxy s2

[ P ] [ Q ] Getting angry with awful battery life.

After 11 months of G2 using , the battery life is getting awful... Tried calibrating the battery , changing sTweaks , but the max I could get is 3hours SOT. Today the phone coulden't even last my school.
What could cause the problem?

You're using a Custom Rom, that's what's wrong with your battery.
Honestly though, I haven't got much better than 3h SoT from Cloudy G3 so...

really?

Seems like your battery has gone bad. This is definitely not a software thing.

I could get the number #1 for battery draining... 2h SOT

try optimusg3 rom

Here screenshots before i unplug charger

There is no problem with Cloudy or Dori, I am sitting at 44% right now with just over 4 hours of SOT.. Mind you my phone is only 6 months old...

A custom ROM wont be the cause of the problem. If anything I have been able to get much better battery life on CloudyG3 and Dorimanx kernel, battery lasts about twice as long as stock. I think that is more of an ATT stock rom problem though. SoT mostly has to do with the brightness of your screen IMO, so try to keep it down as low as possible while still being bright enough. You can also optimize for better battery by tweaking kernel settings to not ramp up as fast, or disable some cores, etc.

Hey guys so there is no benchmark thread out there for the Sony xperia z3 compact. Let's post them up. You know antutu, quadrant standard, geekbench etc etc

I noticed my scores were lower than other peoples, I ran them a few times and got around 41k in Antutu and 14k in Quadrant. The phone was not hot, during the first tests the phone was actually cool so it wasn't that and the scores were consistent.
I decided to try the only other thing I could think of and turned the phone off then on, and my scores jumped immediately to around 21k in Quadrant and nearly 45k in Antutu. I don't know why this happened but it is a little worrying performance seems to randomly degrade by a moderate amount after minor use just because it had been on for a while.
Also annoying is the non verified score.

I have found that my phone's performance degrades for every day i don't restart, the built in task killer just doesn't "kill" many apps properly and after my longest uptime (500+ hours) even phone calls started lagging, due to RAM being filled up with stuff.
But this isn't just for the Z3, i call android ****ty garbage collection much on this one.

Antutu

Maybe a noob question but, how can I set the 96MHz of minimum frecuency? The minimun for me is 300MHz, this depends on kernel?
