Custom ROM with the best battery life :)

Hey guys,
I have played around with a few different roms for my SGS2 and was wondering which one has the best battery life in your experience?
Cheers

I honestly think stock ke7.

That's an almost impossible question to answer as there are so many different factors involved which can affect battery life both on a custom rom and a stock one for example.
signal strength
push
gaming
screen brightness
Everyone will have a different experience and your best bet is to try different rom's and choose the one which suits you as a rom which is great for them may not be great for you.

If some rom creator would make make a black-red theme for his mod it would be probatly the best mod... Of course with all other goodies and tweaks.
Black-red theme because it would drain the lowest energy from the battary in the standart screen mode, but since we all use mostly different apps with different colors it will vary anyway.

To be fair, although it is purely anecdotal, people who have tried different ROMS while going through the sameness of their daily lives should be able to make a relatively valid comparison of battery life.

All the custom ROMs out at the moment are extremely close to stock, so I doubt there's much difference.

2 days?? I'm gald to reach one day.. I just flashed lite'ning V 1.3. Hope to reach one day without any problems..
have a nice day
hattrick

It appears the battery indicator is often way off. I let mine drain as much as it could til it would not boot at all, then charge it for 6 hours. Now it seems to last twice as long on stock (2 days with a lot of use)

I'm going to try this right now. I'll just let it stream some music over wifi at a high bitrate to drain it quickly. And using GPS, Blue-tooth. Playing music through PowerAmp at the same time.

That would be funny if a lot of the battery problems are actually because we keep thinking it is flat when it isn't - it is just being mis-reported. Kind of iphone batterygate in reverse.
I had a lock up on my device the other night but didn't realise until the following morning when I found the device unresponsive and stuck on my last screen. Although I had to pull the battery to regain control, the screen had stayed on all night because of the freeze and the battery meter graph was red for about 7 hours. The screen was still on and bright before I pulled the battery though.
Think I will also try ignoring the meter today.

stock KE2 and stock KE8 is best
ke7 is a nightmare

Using stock ke8 got about 30 hours with juice defender, constant wifi usage and app store and constant browser usage

Android 6.0 Marshmallow battery discussion

This thread is for battery life discussion of android 6 Marshmallow.
I took the plunge recently and installed cm13 nightly on my phone after a couple of days with sultan's cm13 ROM. One notice that the android team really got the battery optimisations right this time especially when coming from android 5.1. The cell standby and android system bug is now gone and the phone can now be in standby for a long time. My usage pattern is browsing, reading in Adobe reader, listening to mucisc with bluetooth headphones, facebook, wassup, some youtube videos, sms and few calls. I play farm heros sometimes but I don't play graphical intensive games.
Here are 2 screenshots of my phone. It was charged to 100% at 8:00am on 30/11/2015 and it still has 41% left as at 10:00am 02/12/2015 Granted I have only used it on wifi and I configured wifi to automatically disable 5 minutes after the screen is off.
You can post you battery life too.

If a moderator deem it fit, he/she can close the thread but I felt it will be nice to make a dedicated thread for Marshmallow instead of looking through a big thread to get the relevant information needed for a particular android version.

yes.

It still sucks on mobile data. Nothing changed from Lollipop in regards of mobile data battery drain and i wish google could do something about it.

That's it! It's still on LP niveau

i had around 2 hours of screen on time and less than a day's battery life. The MMS also didn't work with WiFi connected, so I switched back to CM12.

I finally charged the phone today but not before I took a screenshot. My usage is not heavy at all so for heavy users, I guess the SOT will be longer but the total number of hours the phone was on will be lower. My usage did not change form that of 5.1 but I can definitely see a great change in standby time.

Still doesn't beat out KitKat in terms of heavy usage IMO.

The performance(yield) of the battery essuperior to android 5.1. The cycle of load lasts approximately two hours more of screen.

Try Omniron Herna build, it does wonders on my phone regarding battery usage
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

6.0 has the same battery life as 5.x for me. about 4-5h SoT.
KitKat and early 5.0 builds were clearly better with 8h SoT

Currently running Sultan's ROM CM13:
My battery life has hugely improved when I'm not touching the phone, no one app is draining way to much battery while not in the foreground.
There is one problem some people including me have been experiencing which is that Wi-Fi doesn't switch of properly and drains the battery, the only solution I found was to reboot the device after switching it off.
Not sure if this is a CM problem or the specific rom but not AOSP.
But apart from that battery life is good.

On sultan CM 13 CAF
Getting 4-5 hrs of SOT

Still waiting on a fix for mobile radio active. Had to go back to KitKat after a year on 5.x and a week or so on cm13. The difference in battery is staggering. Here's hoping Google actually finds a solution for the drain, otherwise I'm gonna have to stick to KitKat until I get a new phone.

I dont worry much abt battery charge ..currently on CM13.. dont see much of difference ... expect charge to last for 1 day.. connect to charging when home

Tech guys suggest me best battery rom for OPO don't fun with me by saying cm11s 44s. Almost 1 year stick to cm11 I need some latest android version in my device,
I'm new to xda
Thanks in advance!

Just stole myself this glorious phone yesterday (not really.. got a smokin deal) after 3 years and a month on a Nexus 4 that was left stock the entire time. My OPO is already rooted/unlocked so I'm trying to test out and find the best rom for battery life as both of the cm lollipop and marshmallow roms I've tried are about equal in terms of buttery-ness and just stick with that rom indefinitely.
Is general consensus that cm11 kit kat is far superior to the later cm roms in terms of battery life? Which exact rom would you choose as the last rom you flash onto your OPO ever?

best s8 rom port?

Hey guys. I don't mean to be rude because I know I can do the research myself. But I was wondering if any of you have tested the s8 ROM ports, there are a lot lately and I was wandering Wich one do you think is the more stable and has good battery? And thoughts?

Well I am on project dream, that is first s8 Rom i installed and it work awesome, same battery life as on s7 edge rooms, with my usage around 5-6h sot. I want to try project Alice but I don't have any good reason to replace this rom...

I also wanted to install now a S8 Rom port but I can not decide. It seems that none of the currently available is stable and that there are many bugs on all of them based on the comments....
I downloaded the project alice but I am not sure if I should flash it, because it is beta, or use a finished one?

khongloi v2 is the best, good battery life, and almost everything is working. he managed to fix things like the smart view private mode and all those things that aint working on other roms. and it is the first s8 port rom to be made. try it

I could tell you that's it's sac23 port but it's pointless... What I found in that rom maybe isn't what you're looking for... Try yourself is the best option

I use project alise. Disable fast charging first. I have today 3 hours sot and 55% left fast stable. Sac rom drain batery.

I'm using sac23 rom with superstock kernel 2.5.2v as my daily driver

Hello, thank you all for the information.
@efkka23 did you face any bugs on project alice, if yes, what kind of? Does BT works as it should? How is the procedure with installing updates of the rom?

How is the battery life for you, do you face any bugs, if yes, what kind of? Does BT work (for my Gear S2).

you had to flash the modded kenel by the developer, then the rom boots up well

Whasapp, bbm, xda, Fbooklite, browsing with opera. And video test (on airplane mode). This device is great for playing video rather than browsing always looking for network. I've compared, without playing video (just social media and browsing), I reach 6hr 30 mins sot but battery stay 30%

i used s8 port by ambasadii and it worked very good, didn't find any bug in the 2-3 day i used it, i'm now testing others but keep ambasadii as the best for now, good battery life.

I am using Batman rom 1.3 ..
No bugs found,

Just went through the motions of going from superman rom to the batman rom. Really enjoying it at the moment so that's another +1 from me port. :good:
Without getting off topic, my bixby home (the far-most left screen on your homescreen) does stop working a few times on my flash, but i've disabled it and works fine, kind of annoying as i used to use it mainly for news feed screen on the s7 roms. Whats a good alternative? Used to by one of my main reasons for sticking with Touchwiz, with that not an option for me I've started experimenting with Nova Launcher.

Rom recommendation

Hi everyone, I m currently on oxygen os 3.5.9 and my battery drains like crazy. Can you guys please recommend me a rom that gives good screen on time. I am even willing to downgrade to lollipop because battery life is really crucial for me. Thanks!!

I'm in the same case, looking for the best choice with the maximum stability and good battery life
I tried so but returned to LineAge even if the battery life is not really good but the ROM is the most stable ever now
Tonight will try Carbon to test, but if someone found the best compromise in one ROM That it notifies us

Try AOSCP. It's really good.

Moyses I tried lineage and yes the same issue battery is not that great. Hopefully we will find a good battery friendly rom. Let me know how the carbon rom works for you.

Ny_3 thanks I will check it out. What's the average screen on time that you get with this rom?

I would either recommend AospExtended/AEX or Resurrection Remix if you like customizability. I am using AEX and don't have any problems with battery life.

Well I've got 3 and a half hours of SOT but it's really the best I've got on a custom rom (guess my battery is bad). I actually bought a new battery 2 days ago so I will have to check how it is after that. But thats basicaly what I get most of the time using FB messenger Spotify and YouTube. Keep in mind its not full of features. It's kinda like Paranoid 6 : Smooth, not full of features, and really stable.

Does it worth rooting to improve battery life?

Hi, I have Samsung SM-G935F Dual sim phone (bought used) and today I replaced it's battery thinking there was an issue with the batter as it was draining like 1% after 3 minutes with SOT but with the replaced battery I have the same effect. Searching through the internet I came to know that this phone has awesome battery backup but I wasn't able to witness it myself so far. The cell is pretty good with screen off but with screen on the battery drains fast. Under heavy usage it lasts for 6-7 hours max. Youtube, Whatsapp, Facebook.
So should I install a custom rom? I don't think so as many people have said this phone's battery time is impressive.
Any feedback would be appreciated. P.s. I'm' on latest Oreo 8.0.0 and I can't get to the battery usage screen either no any other application helps. Thanks in advance. I wasted 7$ on battery already.

S7 Edge has a good battery backup. If you are running stock ROM then your phone should be filled up with bloatware as well. You can give a try by rooting and installing a custom ROM. Even after custom ROM, if your battery drains as before then it could be an hardware issue.

Use odin and flsah TWRP recovery. You will get lots of post when you search in xda forum itself.
Note: First backup your data before doing anything.
