just wondering... is there anything that can extend battery life...? its not that good :/ what do u think best combination of rom and kernels is for best out of battery... thanks
We don't need another thread like this. I don't mean to sound rude.
It depends on you and your usage. And how much more do you want the battery life to last?

Get a big backpack and a car battery!!!
I just noticed with every custom rom I tried so far.. it drains a lot more battery than stock? is that normal? I even tried odexing the rom cause i i've read it gives you more battery and internal storage and it does give me a little bit more battery life.. but it's still not like the stock ones.. it still drains a bit faster? why is that??

The draining nature of the battery depends on the rom and the kernel on how it optimises the usage of battery.
There are lots of tips to save battery. Google it.
You can use battery tweaks to get more performance in less consumption.
As there is no Ambient Light Sensor on Samsung Galaxy Y, I suggest you to adjust brightness often to save some life on the battery.
What I am hearing from you is new. I never heard that odexing a rom will increase battery life. I think you misunderstood it. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
You can follow a trick that is opted by me:
Charge your phone completely without disturbing.
Then use it until the battery reached 5% or nearby.
Then charge it again completely without disturbing.
This type of charging will help you get more battery life.
Press thanks if I have helped.

now I'm actually thinking about installing a new kernel and underclocking my CPU.. but i don't want to mess with things i don't have much understanding.. and ive heard it can damage your device?

I agree. The key to save battery depends both on charging and the use you make of your phone. Battery saving tips are:
1. Disable animations.
2. Select a simple PNG, JPEG or BMP picture for home screen wallpaper, instead of a live wallpaper.
3. Adjust your brightness where you want to.
4. Use a launcher which doesn't consume a lot of RAM.
You can Google to learn more methods.
I hope I was helpful, if I was, you know what to do.

You can check this thread on XDA. Features every possible way of battery saving. Featured on XDA Portal few days ago.
I agree with the_pirate_predator
that charging should be done 100% without disturbance and again put on charger when battery is approximately 5-10%. It is also suggested for other batteries like vehicle, UPS batteries etc.

I just got a LeEco Pro 3 (US version) on Amazon, put on lineage 14.1 on it, and for a device with such a big battery, battery life is atrocious. I'm getting estimates of less then a day. Is there a kernel or ROM that will improve this?

I have had Pro 3 for one year, running 6.01 with Nova Launcher. Battery life is not nearly one day in my heavy usage.
But, have Le Eco Fast Charging Battery, which gives me constant juice.
I probably use 2 full charges a day.
How hard is it to flash ROM you are using? Stable? Difference with stock?
The chip is fast, good storage, RAM.
Good luck.

I had the same problem with that rom that's why I switched to Omni. Much better battery life.

Is Omni still under development? I kind of want the October patch at least, as I use an open wifi portal and also want to use my bluetooth full time for my smartwatch, and live in a major urban area where if any exploits of these vulnerabilities is in the wild, they would be here.
Edit: looks like it is under active development, I spotted right away the KRANK patches: https://omni.cmxlog.com/7.1/zl1/
Sorry to say but for battery life Stock based ROMs are the best. I've found paranoid Android and Omni to be two of the better nougaty ROMs in that regard. I have some suggestions to help. Use kernel auditor to change parameters. Set first cluster to 1280 second to 1000. Schedule tasks on awake cores. Set GPU to 520 max and change governor to simple ondemand. Change io scheduler to Noop. I can get a day and a half of moderate usage.
I have an x722 on the Banggood vendor ROM and my battery life is pretty good. However I have my phone in Airplane Mode all the time with Wi-Fi enabled, and I've removed pretty much all LeEco applications. I mostly browse the web on the phone (very light text-based pages with few images, if any) while listening to local, offline music. Yesterday I was watching a bunch of 480p Youtube videos (in Chrome, stupid YT downgrades quality in mobile browsers) and my battery life got a bit low, around 70%. Okay, I guess. I think [email protected] YT would cause your battery to drain a lot quicker, especially if you're using the official YT app.
I keep my screen on a fair bit while commuting, but I don't use data; I just read offline pages. Maybe you should try going back to debloated stock, and then compare battery life on both ROMs. The issue could also be a rogue app. Use Greenify.

Well, yeah. Any phone with a SIM in it is constantly searching for a signal. But if you really want to know if there's a significant difference, test the phone's battery life with just Wifi enabled. If you're still getting bad battery life, it's something else.

I think it was the ROM I was using, LineageOS 14.1, using the new Paranoid Android Nougut (PA 7.3.x something) ROM, I'm getting two days of battery life.

Same here my findings exactly!
I appreciate all Lineage is doing for ROM development, but it seems others have better kernels or something. Is it all in the kernel, do you think, or is there some battery optimization going on in the ROMs themselves?
People try to say that custom roms aren't as good as stock. I have been having nothing but stellar battery life on Paranoid 7.3.1 I can't much more than 6 1/2 hours and counting with extremely heavy usage. Was also taking photos all day
Man I envy you guys so much, I own the x727 model and I'm eager to flash a custom ROM on it but I don't know how and am mostly afraid to do it :'c

Reduce CPU usage, use Kernel Adiutor app, set max not 2140 Mhz, but 1400 Mhz, etc, I did this on my old phone 4.2 android and I usually had 1 week usage with 2500 mAh battery.
I still don't get what is little and BIG setting for CPUs.. I set them both lower.

Yes you are right, lower the max of CPU speed, normal 80-90% app run at not even 1000MHz. If you want more battery lower both BIg and LIttle core max speed down I can't see it mak ethe phone slow/lag or anything like that.

How has your screen only consumed 1k mAh ? I'm on stock rom and my phone consumes close to 2400 on a full charge
Hi all!
I have been getting bad battery performance on my axon 7 for as long as I can remember but didn't really want to try custom rom because I'm afraid it will void warranty. SOT reported with GSam is 2h30m. Fast forward the phone was water damaged and fixed locally so my warranty is voided anyway. So I think it's time for me to try out custom rom.
My main concern is battery life then functionality. Any recommendation for rom & kernel would be much appreciated! Thank you very much!

You might have to replace your battery . I did mine myself in about a half an hour . Batteries are cheap and the fix is relatively easy.

Guy above is right. But I'd like you to try something. Before changing it, use Accubattery to see how much capacity your battery had. After 2 charges you'll have a pretty good idea of how utterly destroyed it is. I managed to get 7 hours of SOT when the phone had about a month of use, now I'm getting 4:30. My battery says 2400 mAh.
Also, there's a bigger battery going around, a Losoncoer 3650 mAh battery. It's reportedly the same size and all. If you happen to try it out, let me know. I want to change the battery and i still haven't decided whether to buy one of those or an original one.
For comparison, the original one is 3140 mAh

you don't if you don't want to, and how would you not see the improvement after basically doubling (or more) the battery capacity?
Maybe you'll need to download a battery calibration app, those basically delete the calibration file and the phone should generate a new one

I bought my phone used in January. I was told it was a little over a year old . It was immediately obvious to me that the battery had issues and I had no insight into the charging history . Accubattery pro told me the capacity was just over 1800 mAh or 58%. I just rebooted after the install of the new battery and now it's it's back where it should be and working great.

Lol what. Accubattery is just to get the capacity estimate. After using it you should just decide whether to change the battery or not.
My battery is at 1700 mAh or 55%. I guess I'm replacing my battery first then. Is there any advice as to slow down battery deterioration process?
Edit: back to the custom rom question, does it make much of difference on battery life over stock?

Yes to both. First, charge the phone only up to 80% or so. that will prolong the battery lifespan about 3 times. There's a mod that can be installed via Magisk, that automatically stops charging when it arrives to a given percentage, then starts charging after it uses a couple percent.
And custom ROMs can be much better in the battery life department, but not always. In my case I get about 4.5h SOT on stock and 5.5H on Oreo AEX
(My battery seems to have 2400 mAh, also want to change it, but I have completely decent SOT)
P.S. Please do tell me if you buy a 3650 mAh battery. I'm thinking on buying one of those. They say that they are the same size than the original ones. plus they are not that much more expensive

What rom are you use right now? I get about 3.5 to 4 SOT on stock. Considering to flash AEX, but I not sure it worst it - stock rom have pretty good camera, spearker, "google now on tap" which is very important to me (google assistant hater)
The 3650 mAh is completely fake. I think it is impossible to place a bigger battery in the same space in the machine
As the title says , What rom are you using as your daily driver and why?
I'm with Extended UI since 3 days and its really really good. It's really smooth, i dont have seen any bug, battery life its far better than Miui and its little battery drain.
Ah yes, i cant use fingerprint, dont know why.... I can configure but not unlock...

Extended ui has been really good compared to Stock and EU Miui; battery drain is a lot slower for sure.

Seriously? Either the way reduced battery drain was achieved is impressive or MIUI is not good at managing that even though it kills apps in background according to users... Or both

Here's my daily usage when switching to Extended UI Rom (11 hours and 1 minute on 8% at the present moment)
I just think EU Rom and stock Rom is not optimized right, even without all the bloatware.
I own a Mi Max 3 and the battery drain also happens when switching to Android 10 Stock Miui and EU Rom also so... even though the battery is larger, the drain is more noticable.. even comparing to the 11.18 Xiaomi EU Pie + Ressurected kernel and other custom roms.... So the battery drain problem is not a just a Mi 9T/K20 problem.

I lost 1% (sometime 2%) per hour, compare to Miui it was 2%/30mn...
In usage its the same
Interesting feedbacks. I hope other users would share their experience.
ExtendedUI. It's super stable and quick. Fingerprint reader works well for me on it.
The default one.. I don't feel like flashing and all that Jazz. The stock rom works pretty well, so I may as well leave it alone.
xiaomi.eu - because I like MIUI, but I don't like some of the limitations in the global version
