For the moment I run pure nexus with full satisfaction, I get a screen on time of 5 hours, which is great but longer is always better.
Is there a rom with very good battery control, kernel tweaked and all?

No
There's no such thing. What you're asking is a subjective question, it depends on the user. The only way to find out which is best for you is through your own testing.
If I might add, attaining the best SOT is mostly about what you're willing to sacrifice.. performance, brightness, connectivity, etc.
Hence, a lot of this will be relative to how you use your device as Heisenberg already stated.

Holy crap! Hey timmaaa! Yeah, I've had it since it came out. Great phone. Not surprised to see you've become a mod! Congrats!

Thanks mate, been a mod for a little over a year now. Good to see you around these parts
Everyone's milage varies. I'm on PN right now and will hit 5hrs sot today. Been off the charger for over 24 hrs too. That is something that people fail to mention sometime. On a fresh charge and constant use I'm sure I could hit between 6 or 7 sot. I just don't have that much to look at haha. PN is a good stable place to be to get great battery life and great performance. I often find myself looking for that ultimate set up and it becomes hard to judge because I use my phone differently everyday. Hope this helps

these kind of questions still exist.. XD well that is XDA for you!
to the OP's question, mate if i were you i would just try out a couple of different roms to test out the battery life.
(sorry no n6p user here, but i think you should give Roms a try that come with cmte, roms that come cm source might give you abit more battery life.) 5 hours sot is already very good , good luck!

i've been testing out my battery with various settings... but i am getting confused because i've changed too many things...
so, i will record the things I've done...
once its complete and well documented, we shall find the setting with least battery drain~!
http://caleb1783.tistory.com/258
for your information, all testing start around 7:17 AM (off charger) and at screen shot at 10:00 PM...
and if you want to test a specific setting, please tell me. i'll be glad to test it out for you.
Thanks.
This will tell you what is best for your particular phone and your usage habits, but the results won't be gospel.
If you're trying to determine how much each variable affects battery consumption, you should change just one setting at a time in conjunction with a design of experiments.

This is my test with the Miui rom and with Franco Kernel 25-11-2011 of moderate use.

yep. thats exactly what i want to do... over the past few weeks, i changed so many things at so many different levels i dont even know what i did or did not do... ^^
for that one test different roms and kernels, whether also I liked the mine that is looked nice but also the trinity kernel is pretty good... the battery last much more but also the performance a little low.
I used to be super-anal about battery conservation and kept pretty specific notes. I'll see if I can dig them up, but they're all for Evo 4G roms/kernels.
I've since learned to relax a little and just use the crap out of my phone. No more eeking out every last mA lol.

i don't care about gpu or overclocking my device.. all i want is to unplugged the n4 form charger and go working in the morning and at night before bad to put it back in the charger - without it dieing on my before..
i had htc sensation and it last all day for me, i'm now 2 days with the nexus 4 , and after 12 hours the battery is dead.
i'm currently using Cyanogenmod 10.1 18/2/13 nightly . turn off locations, and Facebook sync. using only automatic brightness (witch my the way is very low), WiFi and gps and Bluetooth always off . 3g on.
thank you!
Usage varies across any ROM/kernel combo. No one can really say what's best, because everyone's usage varies. But, I can and will say, I'm having best battery life so far using asylum nightlies with matr1x 7.0 kernel. I have a very strict setup which I'm not getting into, but I am in no way limiting the function of this powerhouse. If that makes any sense. Currently sitting at 63% with almost 3 hours screen time. 50/50 3g/wifi and heavy use. think streaming, gaming, downloads. It would take me a very long time to describe what I do to get this battery life, but I would be willing to explain if needed.

I recommend AOKP build mr3, and Harsh's kernel. No need to tweak anything, everything is done for you and you get great battery life. Just my experience from it.

I'm using paranoidandriod with Franco kernel. I get great battery life all the time every time. Download the kernel and leave the settings as is and let it do it's thing.
Note: This has been asked too many times. You can search up the old ones and you'll pretty much get the same answers that it all depends on what you do. Battery life is subjective. It depends on the user. If someone only uses their phone for calls and text they will get awesome battery life. If another person has the same setup as the first they did play lots of game and play videos and such, battery life would not be so great. Thus, both users will tell you different answers.
Just try them out and see for yourself.

Anyone can help me with experiences with a kernel that has great battery life? I'm travelling to NYC (8 hours flight) so I would love to get the best out of the battery of my N7.
I would try 1 by 1 but my travel is tomorrow.. So yeah

I use the Faux Ultimate Kernel, and I simply under clock it when I want more battery life. I've managed to get almost a week out of it with moderate use, while being under clocked.

There is no "best" kernel or rom, They're opinions and subjective as it depends on your apps, usage and settings which is why these type of "best" or "fave" topics are not allowed on XDA.

Maybe I got the title wrong. I just would like to hear experiences on battery life with kernels. That's it. I don't have time to try kernels at the moment :/
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
If you don't have time to experiment, then pick and Kernel which supports under clocking and under clock it for more battery life. That should help a little bit.
But like TheATHEiST said, there is no best, only preference.

True... but I don't think the OP was looking for 'best'... just garnering opinion on 'optimum'...(which I suppose might be regarded as semantic hair splitting; and so perhaps this should have been posted in 'General' instead of 'Q & A').
And in any case, if such threads aren't allowed, then this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151963 is in serious breach of the rules.

For what it's worth, franco kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823671) offers pretty good battery life... in my experience.
Rgrds,
Ged.
i'd go with franco or m kernel

Ive had good battery life on intersect raven, m-kernel and motley. you can also try setting the max active cores of these kernels to 2, with minimal loss to performance (it's a bit sluggish for multitasking though)

Ok Folks, you all know the rules about Best/Favorite Roms and Kernels and such. Not allowed due to flame wars sometimes starting.
Roms and Kernels are personal opinions, and what works best on 1 device, may behave differently on another. This is the way it is. The best method, is to read the kernel threads, and try a couple different ones.
The following thread, is the only OFFICIAL thread sanctioned by the Moderators. Please post your questions there, so that we may keep the forum cleaner for better searches.

I can't find the original thread in regards to this (I'm assuming there is one, otherwise I cannot recall where I read this). But it was advised by some fellow Nexus 4 owners that flashing stock out of the box (not reformatting, apparently, because that doesn't produce the same results) had the potential to dramatically increase battery life. I get fairly good battery life on this phone (roughly 4-4.5 hours screen-on time), but I'm noticing some people getting 5.5+ hours on stock. I have EXCELLENT HSPA+ signal all day (San Diego), and not to mention I'm on a good WiFi connection at least 75% of the day. Have any of you tried this method and had good experiences with it? Also, if you guys have the thread handy where it was discussed, I'd love to sift through it. Don't know why I can't find it anywhere.

thanks for the tip... besides i was looking for the post to reflash stock rim again!
Anyone running this on your v20. Thinking about using it , would love to hear your opinion and thoughts.

It has its ups and downs. Apk is best imo. Not have as many errors. The news build has some bugs. AKT might still hold the crown. My supposed best screen on time is still very sceptical. My average is around 5-6 with average use with either or AKT/FDE. All these mods and yet still hard to choose what is really the best. I have a lot of stuff going tho, but my screen time should still be way better with these mods. I even have the 4200 mAh and still get normal times. Don't help that Kernel wakelocks suck, even with applied kernel Wakelock blocking.

Thanks for the info, will probably try the magisk module before buying the apk. I've been using AKT for a long time and agree it out performs all the other mods for battery life out there
