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

Wow Amazing I can’t believe

Marshmallow Battery life discussion LG-G4

Hi! Can you share your personal experiences of battery life using android 6 on G4? With details like, SOT, network used and signal strenght, tweaks applied on phone, background running apps? And it improved over Lollipop?
Thanks!
(And sorry for my bad bad english)

I'm upgrade today to marshmallow so i will post my opinion in day or two. So far i'm hapy with upgrade.

Not sure Doze is working on my Marshmallow build.
I just switched from a Nexus 5 on 6.0 to this LG G4 and the Marshmallow ROMs don't hold a candle to the Nexus 5 in battery drain overnight.
Nexus 5 lost 1-2% overnight Dozing with a 2 year old tiny battery...the G4 lost 5-6% last night with a bigger brand new battery.
I suspect there's bugs to work out still.

I also switched from N5, 1 year and 9 month old, and had the initial feeling that the battery is not that great, but it was a placebo, N5 was super optimised, using Elementalx kernel, doze, Tasker, greenify vs G4 barely rooted and some bloatware removed. Actually G4 gives me 5 to 6h of SOT, while N5 was 3,5 to 5h. So if I look at the numbers G4 has the better battery life, even not being optimised for that.

Don't know how much to expect with Doze. the G4 has very good standby as is.

Should be half that.
Give it a few more charge cycles for battery to get conditioned.

I m more and more happy with battery life. On lollipop i usual have 1 hour less screen time. My setup is wifi and 3g are always on sync, bluetooth and gps today are off all the time. My SOT is 4h 50 min with 8% battery left. So far so good.

How can i install marshmallow on my G4? Also if I was to manually install it does that mean i wouldn't get OTA updates?
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

You can install like me with lg up you dont need root or bootloader open. Search general on forum. Its like upgrade and its so to easy. Yes OTA will work later when upgrade is out.

the signal seems to be worse at where I'm (Singapore)

For me signal is maybe even better also sound over network slightly better. I'm from Serbia. Btw sorry for my bad english.

nope, I don't use stock kitkat, but kitkat based roms, just like you're sharing your personal experience similarly I've shared mine bro.

I'm very surprised with my result. This is stock 5.0.2 with stock everything and relocked bootloader. All I have done is disabled background data for a few troublesome apps like Google play services.
I have 2 email accounts setup push. Bluetooth is always on and was on a 50/50 mix of WiFi and 3g data. Display brightness is auto.
Disabled most of the Google syncing stuff though. Overall I'm pretty happy. I want the 3rd generation Moto G now though.

I'm getting a 4 hours & 58 minutes Screen on Time with 5% battery left. Still a good battery performance for a phone that would turn 2 years old this coming april. I'm pretty much contented.
I'm on a 7.1.1 Resurrection Remix ROM with default kernel, Greenify was installed, wifi was on all the time, 1h 30m of surfing the web with Chrome, streaming videos in YouTube for 2h then browsing Facebook and Instagram with the remaining hours.

My result, i am on AEX rom v4.6
the phone is only 2 week old i bay it for 50$ ?

Bad Battery
Hi all,
I am only able to get about 2.5h of dot within the day. I got my Mi5s month ago and the only thing that helped me, was playing a lot with amplify (4h Sot were possible then). But nearly all application which makes a device smart won´t work in background anymore.
I hoped that updating to nougat will fix. But today... I am at 1h42min dot and only 27% left after 10.5h of use. I only listen to amazon music (over 3G) for about 2 hours. Some surfing, some whatsapp and i use my samsung gear s2.
Greenify is running. I also freezed qfp with titanium backup.
I don´t know what to do. Some time ago I tested the device with only whatsapp running... Got same results.
I ordered a new Mi5s through gearbest. Will arrive in the next 2 weeks. I hope my device is a little broken.

We wait new screenshot

does putting two sim affect the battery life of the mi 5s?

I'm trying to save a bit of battery by setting up a Tasker profile to switch to 2g when screen is off and back to 4g when on. It seems possible to do this by changing global preferred_network_mode1 but the changes don't take effect without rebooting. Anyone have a smart way of doing this? I'm running LOS

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Very good for the small battery, get around 6-8 hours SOT.

Hi, May I ask you how do you manage to get 6-8 SOT because I have the phone since a week with global ROM installed and I get around 4 hours ( the same I had also before with Chinese ROM)

4 hours is reasonable, person with 6-8 hours SOT will highly likely have different usage to you.....
Turn brightness down, install another kernel, don't use high demanding apps as much, close and turn things off when not using, use power saving apps etc

I can't believe that my mi mix 3 has only 3200mah battery

I also had battery issues. Sas barely.using phone and in half a day telephone asked for.charging. whaat i did was disxharge to shut down then charge to 100% without turning on the phone. It helped a lot. Ove read aomewhere that this method is food once a year for phone battery because it helps to calbrate the energy levels in the battery.
Also it.is good. to use as dark pixels.as u can becausw.the.brighter the more.energy ia going to be used.
Also disable.services you dont need(wifi,gps,mobile data,nfc, bluetooth background processes, anything thhat is using your battery energynto.work.
With advices in this.thread you can prolong your battery by like 40%. Can confirm that it.helped me.
Just do.some reasearch on enerfy saving in a smartphone.

I've got mine for around 3 days and the battery don't last even half a day, it usually lost 10% in 2h. while in idle, I have AoD, Bluetooth and data, but I'm quite sure that it's not normal.

In the meantime I turned off AoD and now it's fine, I've found out that the screen never turn off even when inside the pocket.

I was able to get 6 hours of sot

I recommend disabling the option to use adaptive battery, at least it improved here after I deactivated it.

On PE I was able to get 8 hours of SOT right now I'm testing out AEX seeming it was March security patch I'll keep you guys updated on it
Edit: same with PE around 8 hours of SOT
