CM vs AOSP battery consumption

Hello guys
I'm a CM based ROM lover and used Exodus Lollipop (CM) for some time, it is pretty good.
But as time goes by our battery starts needing some tweaks to maintain its acceptable performance level.
I wanted to try doze so I tried Pure Nexus (AOSP) for Mallow and it is good too, specially after using Taurus Kernel.
So I decided to move to Resurrection's (CM) using the same kernel, after seeing Pure is not updated with frequency.
Bam! Same battery consumption of Lollipop, on Mallow.
I'm not sure about it, that's why I'm asking here, have your guys ever noticed such a difference in battery performance between AOSP rooms and CM ones?

I always got poor battery backup on CM roms and sometimes average battery life. I got great to average battery backup on aosp roms but never had poor battery on aosp roms. It was mostly kernel which influenced battery life on aosp roms. CM on other hand didn't work well for me no matter which kernel i use. (since i prefer battery life)

Which is the best ROM for galaxy note 3 considering battery life?

I've tried cyanogenmod 12.1 and 13. They give terrible battery life...
Plus I've tried phronosis v5.2 which is ok..but not that much great with battery life..
So, which is the best ROM for note 3 considering battery life(without lag)?

Try Stock ROM or AryaMod (stock based) and flash Lean or Idle Kernel for battery life.
because Stock gives better battery anyday!

Testet many roms but best and stabale battery friendly is aryamaod 5.3

The best is still debloated Kit Kat rom, either from jamal or rayman95 ☺

Try to look at ROM as linux distros.
Every ROM is bunch of apps,graphic and services put together while kernel is the one who makes the calls.
Kernel tells how every piece of hardware is going to be used including battery/cpu/gpu.
By installing custom kernel and lowering max freq. and minimizing active services you should get best results.
There are also undervolting uoptions and much more.
All in all its sad that you didint even bother to read any of existing articles about how android works ,battery management and kernel optimization.
Here are few articles you should read.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ROM-VS-Kernel

These are bear essentials so dig in.

Best ROMs according to users

As the title suggests, all the Moto x play users are invited to tell which ROMs they used and term as best.
The criteria is all you can choose from like fluidity, features, stability, battery life, etc
So start flashing new ROMs and keep posting in the thread.
Enjoy Flashaholics...

In my opinion Resurrection Remix has the best combination of features and it is very stable, but it could have better battery life and fluidity (I read that the next release will be more fluid)
CrDroid has the most commonly used features, it lacks some bells and whistles but it provides good battery life.

Using RR with squid's kernel, the device performs superbly, but yes, as @alresave mentioned, the battery life could be a little better.
Haven't used it personally, but for performance and battery life, I'd recommend you go for Tesla since its mostly AOSP and much more stable and fluid.

For me Cm13 with squid kernel

How is battery life vs stock for you? Also, does CM13 support ambient display?
I thought I saw temasek say his CM13 was tweaked to include it.
I just found out that the stock ROM doesn't support hotplugging, which I thought only had to do with the ROM. I'm wondering if I would get bettery battery life using CM13(due to hotplugging, mainly,) but also wondering if there are any noticeable hiccups still.

Cm13 does have ambient display - showing notifications, clock etc.
On stock with my setting - I don't used greenify and such apps i got about 6-7 SOT with a little below 40 h mark without charger. I am using CM13 with squid kernel for about 24h and needles to say the battery life will be a little worse due to changing kernel settings flashing CM13 nightly update etc . The kernel needs to be left alone for a few days to settle which gives best results. Latest 0407 nightly build with squid kernel 16b with interactive governor will give 5-6 SOT IMO.
To put the battery life in perspective - my friend has stock HTC Desire Eye and he has to charge it every day with medium usage and maybe 3 sot.
From the next nightly ota update i will be using cm13 without any extra kernel just to see how the basic kernel performs and that the basic battery life is

I am on Blisspop and man its got everything I need. It's stable and slick. Battery life has to be checked. Blisspop and RR are very similar in features they offer. Tried both of them.
The logo of RR is very slick and nice. Even the boot animation is really nice.

I miss SlimPIE. Some ROMs even say they have it but have PAPIE or CMPIE.

Gotta say the best rom was stock 5.1 but I found Tesla Rom to be stupid snappy regardless of kernel. Battery for whatever reason has been crap for me but most users in the thread report an amazing battery life. I've only had it for a day so I guess I'll let things settle and see if the rom does the trick after all.

I tried AICP and Bliss, and Bliss with ultra kernel r5 works fine!

If you want battery go with any slim based Rom's. That will be for battery- I tried orion- one bug each time I reboot data Sim got switched to primary slot.
Now I am sticking with Stock due to it's smart Sim feature.

I am on validus right now and it seems better than RR in terms of performance.

Tried Every ROM, But Stock Based ROM Marshmallux v2.0. Because Camera Performance & Battery is Great in Stock. Without Stock Other ROMs Camera Performance is Not Good.

I find the camera performance satisfactory even in custom roms

In Which ROMS

Stock rom or a debloated stock rom like marshmallux or GtrCraft are my personal favorite's for smoothness and battery life.

EMUI vs CM 13

I want to hear the experiences you guys have with emui vs cm13.
At some points i always wonder if i should flash back to emui because of a few bugs and problems so i wanna hear a few experiences to see what you guys think about it.
- generally speaking i would love to hear what you like in comparision to the other
- how's your battery life, usage experience, how you think about the current bugs, etc.
- are you thinking to change rom to emui or to cm13 and why?

cm gives a more stock experience compared to emui, better battery life. unless youre going to update to emui 5, cm is better

With papsi ROM everything is fine by battery life is miserable with an outdoor brightness and mobile data on (only few hours).
Speedo; very descent battery life , zooming is fine but video recording is not, still buggy and finger print not working
Till now I think the best available firmware is stock but if speedo_thc managed to get his ROM as functioning as papsi's he will be the best daily driver for me.

papsi's isn't that bad on battery life for me. i get two days usage with constant bt connections and a few messengers push. you will have monitor wakelocks and stuff to optimize as much as possible though.
i am using
- amplify (no donate)
- greenify with xposed + root
but have 3 messengers, email and android wear on push at all times.

Cm notifications fixed emui not

cm's will always break after few months of heavy using, stock wont. sure cm has more customizeable tweaks and in some cases better battery life (never in my cases). evey device i have tried cm it always starts randomly rebooting, lagging and eats battery like hell(hahe had this issue with multiple devices). i prefer stock base and then rethemed to whatever you choose.

Currently, no custom rom is stable enough for daily use. I still love the EMUI camera and the finger print gestures. I will stick with EMUI 4 for now hopefully until custom roms are more stable and fully functional.

I've used papsi's rom for a few weeks as a daily. So far the only downside to me, is the battery life compared to stock emui.

Papsi's cm13 is better than stock EMUI on almost every points except the battery. I'm using his rom since he published it and it's pretty stable but the battery life can be a deal breaker. Some optimization would make the rom great for daily usage.

I agree with you, i would use his rom but the problems with the camera and battery life and the phone getting too hot when playing games or watching videos is what keeps me on EMUI since i never had issues with notifications.

G900F most battery friendly rom?

I dont care much about saving space, and from my experience debloating doesn't do much to the battery life. I'd like a stable rom with possibility of black theme. All I care about is decent speed and screen on time. As for kernel I'm open for anything. SmallWiz V8 UX seemed like a good fit, but fingerprint doesnt work and theming is not possible.
Maybe stock rom with assertive display, phoenix kernel and modded theme is enough?

If you want black/dark themes, you are limiting the possibilities by going with stock-based ROM. Resurrection Remix N may be a good candidate because it has theming support, good battery life (although less than stock) and is quite stable for daily use.
If you only care about battery life (and can give up some theming), (generic unbranded) stock official ROM is your best bet.

Surprised to hear that stock is supposed to be best. I had xXx rom before, but when I got my phone back from repair with stock rom and new battery there's less juice than on xXx. Regarding black theme, it's just about battery life, not about fancy theme.

Stock usually performs the best in SOT tests because it has better frequency scaling and is able to use samsung closed-source drivers that is unavailable to AOSP ROMs. Most problems with battery life arise from either carrier bloat, or the apps installed by the user. There may also be a chance where something else is the cause but only in rare-cases. Usually a factory reset can fix all of these problems, however it may not work for all.
With that last line in the original post, it is often thought that using stock kernel will yield the best battery and stability. It has been discussed throughly about the battery impact a custom kernel places, and whether or not undervolting makes a difference (where it usually will yield almost none).

Any rom that supports the Boeffla-Kernel

i'm using popwiz 5.1
give it a shot
