Hello, I've had this phone for some time now, and I like experimenting with ROMs. I bought this phone because I wanted a new experience, and I liked the style EMUI had. Unfortunately for me I wasn't getting a very "Android-y" experience, and as a big Android enthusiast, I didn't like it. I've experienced with some ROMs but I have noticed a huge battery drainage in most of them, making the phone last only 4 hours, even without usage. So I would like to know what would be the best time for this phone, I don't care about customizability, I just want a ROM that is good for daily use, and with a decent battery life (hopefully 8+ hours because that's what I get on emui)

Love that this phone is receiving so much developer attention. There are new roms literally popping up everyday. Howoever, I have a small request to make. I would like for the roms to be more optimized for the phone. For exmaple, on CM13, the phone is heating up even with minimal apps installed. the battery life is also very poor, and android system and play services are draining battery. There are also sometimes random reboots. I flashed to the unofficial Resurrection Remix and the battery life was wors. I love how much smoother and featureful the roms are but please make them more optimized.

I didn't encounter any of these problems. Battery life is fantastic, phone doesn't heat up and nothing is draining. Did you change the governor from performance to interactive?

use the xiaomi.eu roms, they are the smallest in size with no bloatware and much optimisation. They will also give u fab battery life.

I flashed the XIaomi.eu roms but the battery life was also terrible. Only the stock rom has good battery life.
I have used CM 13 by Santosh and it's battery life is very unpredictable. So switched to RR by siddesh and it's giving very good battery backup and SOT of around 8~9hrs. Just ensure to do clean flash

xiaomi.eu roms should have same or better battery life compared to Stock MIUI Rom... because they only remove bloatwares and optimize bit. That has been my experience for quote long.

yup, this dosnt look like a rom specific problem, it looks like you have a selection of bad applications, eg facebook, messenger and etc

Hmm it appears to be this phone because I've had the same apps installed my old samsung galaxy s5. In fact i restored the backup from that phone and it got 5hours to 5.5 hours sot everyday

**** nothing readed it wrong. tought u said it's a app that makes your battery live bad
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.

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!
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.
Got a new PH-1 coming soon. I'm thinking I'll put it through its paces by installing an alternate ROM from the get-go.
I'm not trying to provoke an argument, but I'd like to hear some reasoned viewpoints on which ROM I should go with for the honeymoon period: stock, Oreo beta, or Lineage?
It's been a while since I've had a phone that was getting a lot of attention from devs, so I feel spoiled for choice.
Thanks!
i'd like to know the same. any opinons folks?
I have tried and confirm all room are working very well, I'm using Oreo now. If you want some more tweak you can try Lineage, for example you can double home icon to turn off screen with Lineage.
Lineage is great, but trying PacRom now and it is buttery smooth with amazing battery life and tons of features.

I am using the Oreo beta with no issues. Phone has been unplugged since 8am, and after 8.5 hours I am still at 93%, so not bad at all. That time includes a few phone calls. I have BT on, and don't see any weird drain...

how so? my SOT is 3 hours vs 6 hours
I didn’t say screen on time. One of the complaints of the beta is battery drain from bt even when idle, and I am not seeing it.
With last official rom i have 7h sot And i have next 20% (brightness) 60% i have hw revision 1.8 i havent got problem with signal always 103- 105 dBm lte+ in Czech it is realy best phone i ever have better then iphone or galaxy s7
Honestly, I play a lot of clash Royale and there's this bug where nothing I do with all the custom ROMs that keeps it from the camera notch obstructing the game and a bottom black bar is added. Even with adjusting it in extended display mode it doesn't work. This keeps me away from the custom ROMs. I've asked people about it and they say they dont have a problem with it, but I think they're lying or dont play full screen games or video

Is this the Nougat Pac Rom from December or is it Oreo? If it's Oreo could you please share a link.

Did you happen to read the date that was posted?
I would do the Oreo Beta myself...been using it with little or no issues. I'm not a heavy screen user most of the time, so I wake up with a full charged battery and go to bed 12-16 hrs later with well over 85% battery most days. The latest build of Oreo (OPM1.180104.092) seems to be quite well behaved.

Haha, too funny, I'm an idiot!! :silly: Got all excited thinking there was another rom out there to try, damn flashaholism!!
Hi there, i have a 9T EEA, that i recently updated to MIUI 12, the thing is that since i updated it battery life is the worst i ever had, i use to charge it once every 1 and 1/2 days and now i have to plug it twice a day! So i was thinking to change the ROM but i dont know if it actually improves the battery life, i used to use Lineage or another roms in other phones but not sure if this will work with the currents Roms that are already in this Forum, like Xiaomi.Eu or Lineage, my main worries about them are about bank apps and the actual perfomance of it. Thanks in advance!

I'm on the same firmware and after about a week battery was almost the same as on 11.0.6.(debloated by ADB).
If you still have the feeling the drain is higher the upcoming firmware 12.0.3 may fix that, at least the beta users say so.
I don't have used a custom ROM on my 9T but my experience on other devices (mostly Motorola) is that customs have higher battery drain than stock firmwares.
Maybe xiaomi.eu is another thing but in the end you have to find it out by yourself.

Trust me it is worth it, u can control your own device with custom roms making it fast and light, unlike ugly bloated miui full of ads and huge battery usage, im sitting on msm xtended and get 0.2% battery drain at night in 12 hours, if u look for battery custom roms and definitely better than miui (u can easily achieve a 8h minimum sot)
