Hi
Wondering if there is a general consensus as to which Desire HD ROM build has the best Battery Life ?
Thx,
Ben
i use this build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908528
for me battery consumption is good and never seen complaints about excessive battery drain in the forum.

As far as I am concerned, I removed this rom because I had excessive battery drain with it (empty battery during the night without any use) and changed to this rom :

and I am particularly pleased with this one

Strange, i have max 5% overnight. Really can't understand how the same phone with the same build has so different results. Maybe radio version or sd card?
@OP
As the above 3 posts prove, there is no *best*. You have try a few for yourself and find out which works best for you. Besides, it's good practice at flashing new ROMs and gives you more exposure to what's available.
Good luck

Some words should never be used here (and in real life)
best : depends on conditions, on what to expect, etc etc
fast : as equal as 'best' but even worse, the need for comparison.
normally : that word should not even exist in the first place! If one uses it in a sentence I become very suspecious on why someone uses it in the first place.
All is on the title.
What is the best rom for the best battery Life ?

All the roms so far are pretty much the same... same base, same tweaks. Only difference is maybe some theme colors and different lockscreen. Maybe some changed icons. So the battery is pretty much the same on all of them. Radio and sd card you use is what makes a difference in battery life.
It's not about which rom will give you more battery life,
it's which radio will give you best battery life, that should be the question
you should be asking.
hI,
Do you know have a rom battery life for HD2 ?
i need it. Thanks

Stick to GB (probably CM7/MIUI) as I've found that ICS has very random and unpredictable spikes in battery drain. Other than that though, it depends entirely on how you use your phone, there will never be a 'best ROM for battery' so never ask that question.
There are many custom roms for the GT-I9505 on this community. I would like to know what rom offers the best battery life for the GT-I9505.

For me the most important for the battery life no is the ROM, is the Kernel. U have lot of combinations/tweaks. Try the yours and tell us the experience

But on the most of all Roms there are running many Apps/Services in background and they drain my battery or is this wrong?
Please post your battery life in stock marshmallow,stock nougut,RR,AICP and other roms.
So we can compare them.

There is really nothing one size fits all kind of thing. Try these different ROMs for yourself to see what works best for you. It's hard to see which has better battery life since different users will have different usage stats.
I have to agree... One person might get great battery on RR and terrible on AICP, the next person the opposite. The only to really tell which one gets the best battery in your situation is to try them.
Data is too scattered to determine which ROM provides the best battery life. You see people getting all day battery life with different kernels, tweaks, usage, etc

I'm not trying to bash your post but TBH, any comparison you make from others is practically useless. As mentioned, people have different experiences on custom ROMs. One specific ROM might have excellent battery life on one phone and have horrible battery life on another of the same model. But there is an even more important factor that makes comparing across ROMs just as useless... Everyone uses their phone differently. Not just with apps they install, but with the features of a ROM they they decide to enable or not.
On that note, if you are considering a custom ROM, the best way to determine if it is right for you is simply to try them. Make backups that way you can revert back to the one you decide is best.
I know that every user use their phone differently. I don't know what made you guys think i don't know that. But what i am trying to compare is not overall battery life but battery life based on individual usage. Like when some one use that rom for only calls and get a lot of stand by time how much battery it drains. from that i can know how much battery it drains when kept idle. Same goes for using wifi or using mobile data , watching YouTube or reading PDF. I want to know how much battery that rom uses on what usage.
Sorry for my bad English. I hope you guys can understand what i am trying to say.

I understand this. But I think it would be easier to try for yourself, because to get say, me to try say 4 different ROMs, same usage, and then report back to you would be more time consuming than you trying for yourself.
I know you know that every user is different but the same user trying different ROMs for you just doesn't make sense.

Referencing individual usage as you have, along with any specific ROM across devices, you are not going to get consistent results. I understand you are trying to consolidate this data on one post, but there are to many variables involved.
To highlight: I could run AICP on my XT1575 with a clean install and no extra apps installed and make only calls and I might get excellent battery life on standby. But another XT1575 owner can do the exact same setup, make the same number and times of calls and get horrible battery life. This pretty much goes for any custom ROM, especially those not based on stock. This does not even account for differences in MM vs N. This also does not account for an update to a ROM screwing up battery life and the next one may fix it (which is relatively common). I've even seen where someone gets great battery life up to a certain update and thereafter it sucks, but another can experience the opposite.
And once again, individual usage still matters as individuals will have different apps installed, which can take up varying amounts of battery depending on background processes and syncing. This affects standby time and SOT to some degree. Also do not forget that the chipset on this phone is prone to negative affects on battery depending on cell signal strength, so that is another kink in observing and comparing battery life across users.
Ultimately, the best way to determine what gives you the best battery life is too rest ROMs for yourself and your specific usages.

I am not saying anyone to try different roms for me. I was just wanting them to post battery stat of the rom they use as their daily driver.

Yes ok. So we should be on the same page about different users using their devices differently. So if user A posts about say ROM B, and user B posts about ROM A, you know you can't compare. I would post my stats with RR but you couldn't compare to someone posting AICP stats as we are different users. The only way to be even somewhat accurate would be to get the same user to try different ROMs. Which you can do. Honestly just try the different ROMs! I will say with my experience though DU has not had the greatest battery life.

Well said!
@yk1999 As stated above as well as in my post, you just can't compare experiences of users across multiple devices and ROMs as there are to many variables involved. We understand what you are asking and we are telling you that there is only one way for you to get the information you are looking for. The only way for you to figure out what will have the best battery life in YOUR situation (how a ROM operates on YOUR specific device, YOUR selection of apps, and YOUR specific usage scenarios) is to test the ROMs for yourself.
Maybe there should be an app saving battery stats for the current ROM (internal storage or personal cloud), and comparing these personal stats with previous stats made when you had another ROM installed.
Of course there are other variables that affect the battery stats (like the apps installed, or the apps you actually open in a battery cycle) but at least the app would be able to list and compare battery stats on the same device and user.
Ie, I imagine a list like:
- ROM R1. Kernel K1. X1 apps installed. Battery rate: BR1
- ROM R1. Kernel K2. X1 apps installed. Battery rate: BR2
- ROM R2. Kernel K1. X1 apps installed. Battery rate: BR3
...
It could be able to group by Android version,...
I haven't found an app doing this. Do you know an app doing it? And, do you think this app would make any sense?
