[Q] Best ICS ROM for battery life

I am currently on BOCA MSI (v9) which is giving me the best battery life I have ever had on GB (Better than Stock or Overcome and a few others I tried). Even verclocked at 1.4 Ghz
Now I am dreaming to switch to ICS... Obviously the first ROMs out were not really optimized for battery life, and battery life seemed terrible. But I wonder where the present ROMs stand and how hey compare to each other
I don't mind too much having a bit less performance than with BOCA (which is amazing), however I would just hate having a shorter battery life
Anybody can share their experience with AOKP and CM9? With which kernel ?
(Just anticipating some flames: obviously I could try them but I'd love to leverage on the forum and people's experience before making the jump to MTD partitions and wipe my whole install)
Thanks in advance

Not very popular question i seems

Every phone is used differently so its hard to compare ROMs. Try it yourself. Make a backup and flash some ROMs and see which one suits you best.

I'm using CyanogenMod 9 band the battery duration, even with RC1, is still very low.

1. This is not very useful... As I said I don't really have the time and I was trying to leverage on people's experience (After all this forum is meant for that
2. Even if every phone is used differently you still get valuable information from people trying 2 ROMs and coming with their own feeling about which one gives them better battery life

No it isnt and if you had bothered to search you would know tha these type of "best rom" thread are frowned upon for many reasons, The most obvious being that "best" is subjective and also depends on your specific hardware as power consumption is different from device to device. It also depends on software and configuration you use.
If you want the answer to this question then dont ask here, instead try some roms and find what is "best" for you not us.

This,
Thread Closed.

Which ROM and Kernel do you prefer (for daily use), and why?

MODS: No, please don't close this yet. This is not a "Best ROM" thread in my opinion. I've tried my fair share of ROM's, I'm just curious what ROM people prefer and what kind of aspects of a ROM people prefer. Same for kernels. So it's not about finding the best, it's about what people like, and why. It interests me. Still don't agree? Well then we have different opinions and you can close the thread.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SO, back to the thread. The title says it all. If you would choose a ROM and kernel for daily use, what would you use? Would you pick X because it's easy to use, has great battery life and a minimal design, is built with the Samsung framework etc? Or would you pick Y because you can fiddle with things, it has lots of special apps and is incredibly stable, is based on AOSP/AOPK, etc?
I'm just curious about your preferences, type away!
DO NOT START ARGUMENTS! You are inherently wrong for starting one because people stating a preference can't be wrong for having that preference. So if you start an argument, you're by default an idiot. Don't be an idiot. It's simple.

Why are you like that... Don't be so negative man. I know what kind of ROM and kernel I need and I download+edit my ROMs/kernels accordingly. If I change my opinion, I change my kernel/ROM.
Ok then, me for example:
I bought my new SGSIII and first flashed the very popular Siyah kernel. However, I don't like being mainstream Then I used Speedmod for a while because it's a very stable and battery saving kernel, but I was missing the tweaks and OC/UV. It's also based on pegasusq while I prefer lulzactiveq. Now I'm trying Perseus, still seeing what I can do with that.
As a ROM I'm using DarkyROM, but it's a bit too heavy for my liking. I'm going to use VikingWay since that's very light, and I'll see what happens. I've also got Complex-D lined up for testing. I don't really use AOSP ROMs because I love Sammy's camera and agenda software (yeah I really do like them ) and I can't use those on AOSP ROMs.

Rom preference threads never end well.

OMG this again?
When will people learn?

Crdroid is just a great rom loads of customisations.
Perseus kernel is a goos choice for my performance and battery life.
Good idea with this thread

Your ultimate rom

I have tested just about every rom available to my galaxy note n7000, and come to one conclusion: Carbon rom is a clear weiner for me.
The reasons to which I have concluded this? Well....
Bam is great, but I've found it slowing my device down.
Slim is fantastic, however it lacks quite a few of the pretty making tweaks I have come to covet.
Omni has even less tweaks.
PAC is fantastic too, but due to it having paranoid android, I don't have access to the extra settings I have with xposed app settings.
Paranoid lacks the pezaz a serious greeny such as myself wants. Made by men for men, in my deepest voice.
And all the modded stock roms are great too, but...... nav bar without tablet, I like using my stylus, and don't wish to whip a finger out to do simple tasks.
Yes yes I can hear all the digital intellectuals saying, 'What? Who? When? How?'
But considering even more noobs than ever are judging these masterfully baked Roms, an ignorant judgment has to be considered.
Why carbon? It's pretty, has all the tweaks, plus allows for xposed. Ahhh, I'm in love.

LOL "weiner".

Good for you... Have tried quite a bit myself (you forgot to mention the supernexus like ROMs) and always reverted back to touchwizz stock ROM. Lately a few days back I chose omni with KitKat and I think I might settle for some time on that one. Love its fluidity memory management must be great as now I can open several apps without feeling any lag. That may be placebo but I just think it is way over any other ROM nowadays.

Sense 7 Roms | Battery Life

The past few weeks I've been using CM12.1 as my daily driver but I started to miss the speed and functionality of Sense 7. Not to mention the look. I'mhere to gather opinions on which rom you personally think has the best battery life. Sense 7 Roms only, please.

"Best" is very subjective. You can compromise many things for battery life like functionality and speed. Keep in mind that users have totally different battery lives while even on the same ROM.
This is something only you can judge based on your usage.

Please don't post irrelevant information. I realize that. However, I'd like to see a rom that many people view as having good battery life. I'll pick that one to try first. I'm asking for everyone's personal experience and opinion, not factual information.

IMO
S.ROM has really great battery life. It's stock ported from m9. SkyDragon is also pretty good as well and has more features built in.
I think that it's less of the rom, and more how you use it, and what apps you use. I.E. using greenify, powernap and amplify, you can get decent battery life from anything.

You talk about irrelevant information, actually this whole thread is irrelevant because there is an existing battery thread already and the rules on this forum suggest you to use existing ones over new created ones.
If you want a relevant discussion i am kindly suggesting to take it there

Top Mods for the OPO

Hey guys! I'm not new to the board, but this is my first official post. So I would like to give a quick Shout to XDA for creating this android portal to connect us all together. XDA has helped my friends an I for years now and I am very grateful, Thanks XDA and members!!
Now with the "welcome world" out of the way.......
I have had my OPO for a couple years now. I must admit I freaking love this phone. It's been fast and reliable since the first boot. It fits my life-style perfectly. I have been fortunate to have not been plagued with any of the common OPO issues. No yellow screen, battery issues, software glitches, etc.
With that being said, I have the bar set pretty high right now. However, It is not in my nature to leave cool tech equipment in it's original condition. I am ready to make a move on my OPO.
I rolled though the TOP ROMS thread and nothing really stuck out or grabbed my attention. I'm seeking a path to success here and was looking for some recommendations from experienced users that have had and experimented with multiple roms and use the OPO for more than pictures and facebook. I run 2 businesses and this phone is a staple in my life.

If I could only change one thing from stock, it would definitely be the DPI. I find 400 to be the best for my use, with font still readable but lots more screen space.
In terms of roms, I would recommend Resurrection Remix. Very reliable with pretty much every feature you could want but without the performance hit that others have.
For a business user though, you would need a solid backup and recovery method for when your modding eventually ends up with a bootloop. I have heard that flashfire is pretty good but, as my phone is too full to make a backup, I have not used it myself.

Sultans rom is unique because instead of adding features (its same as stock rom) he's actually gone deeper and improved the camera, battery gauge and other things. Read everything on his post that he's made better. His rom is at 2ghz instead of 2.5ghz YET it performs better than stock ever did.

I would suggest you try out CandySix ROM (AOSP + Sultan's kernel), it's the best ROM I've tried so far. Full set of features, stable and great battery life. No idea what happens with CM ROMs including Sultan's but I am plagued with core apps and Android OS wakelocks that destroy battery.
If you want a simple AOSP ROM without a ton of features but rock stable I'd suggest Omni.

I run my resolution at 440 with small text. I've played around with that quite a bit, I've been pleased with the current for a while now. You're 100% correct about the backup and recovery. That is going to be my first step. I'll check out flashfire and see what that's about.

This is something that definitely interest me. It follows my natural logic. I'll be checking this out for sure.

My plan here is to give each selected ROM 10 days of run time and track important features. At the end I'll probably write a review with my feedback. I'll add these two, to the list.
