Title.
I compared the features of the two but can't really figure out which one would be more battery friendly and nobody seems to have compared them.
I could try myself and I will if nobody else can provide an answer but I'd rather not have to spend the next 2 weeks running each kernel for a week to figure out which one is better.
Thank you

I would like to know the opinion of you guys about the battery life of the Find 5 and possible future improvements.
Using the latest AOSP ROMS (in my case @maxwen AOKP, Aarons's PA 3.99 and CodefireX) I noticed that battery life is much better then on Oppo's Color ROM, yet it's still far from what I would expect from the device, I barely get more that 2 - 3 hours of screen time out of it on a daily basis. Compared to my last phone (S3) it's actually pretty bad.
Is there a chance that this is due to still poor sw sources from Oppo and might likely improve in the future or is the current battery life as good as it gets, what do you think?

Well, I hope the battery life gets better overall, I get around 3-4 hours on screen time, and that's pretty darn good. Using Spotify/Soundcloud all day long aswell as webbrowsing, Reddit, Twitter and Facebook. I guess the battery life is OK, but I hope it'll get better.
This phone got almost the same batterylife as my S3 4G, which is pretty bad. :/
And I wouldn't hope for Oppo to improve their sources, since it seems like they've no idea what they're doing. ColorROM is still a huge mess!

Thanks,
I agree that Color Rom is a nightmare but one can hope...
You seem to use your phone pretty much the same way I do but with somewhat better battery life. May I ask which rom/kernel you are using?
I'm currently on AOKP nightly from 28th September

Using latest CodefireX rom with audio fix, I've disabled some system things which seems to help with the battery. Just give me a PM if you want to know exactly what things I've disabled and how I've setup my phone!

I can't understand why everyone says he gets better batterylife with custom roms.
I tried the latest AOSP, PA, Cyanogenmod and gave them all a chance. I even changed the settings that hard, that i couldn't say it was a smartphone anymore... but i've never noticed better batterylife than with any color rom! And all the bugs on custom roms...
Actually i run Color ROM 1.0.1 (4.2.2)
Just bevore i ran Stable Cyanogenmod 10.1.3, PA 3.99, AOKP Maxween
Did you get other experience with the same roms or did you use other roms?

for me, I'm using the CM10.2 by maxwen / etc... definitely much better battery life, especially when on idle/screen-off/sleep... I can make the phone last >24 hours (couldn't do it with the original oppo rom)
settings that I've been using on that kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45835020&postcount=152

Ok. Yes, above 24h would be difficult with the color rom. But i never tried to reach 24h with cpu & gpu underclocking...
I think i use my phone relative often and with the ColorRom 4.2.2 i easily reach 12-14h.
And my thoughts on custom roms were, that wehen i have onscreen time i can watch them percents battery life falling and because of this i only got about 6-8h battery life with almost every Custom Rom.
I will post some screenshots of the batterylife with the ColorRom later this day and let you interpret them, ok?
Hi all!
I'm currently an LG G4 user but I'm really disappointed of this device because of it's poor battery life...
Before having the G4 I had the Mate 7. I loved its fingerprint sensor and its huge battery.
I want to know if it's easy to get 5-7 hrs of SoT with the OpT and if its camera and fingerprint sensor worth getting the device?
Btw I'm planning getting a MarshMallow Rom (for the fingerprint sensor API integration on Android 6.0), is the battery life OK?
Concerning the overheat issue is it solved?
As far as I could read, the SkyDragon Rom is quite well made and even with OOS 2.x.x combined with Boeffla's kernel gives good results... But as I'm looking for a MarshMallow rom I'd like to have reviews about the SkyDragon Rom (any compatible Kernel or setting giving good battery life? Same questions for CM13)
Waiting for your replies!
TheBledard
hey there, well the fingerprint sensor is really good not just a gimmic much better then locking your phone with a code/patten, so useful for simply unlocking and locking the phone.
About battery life i mean well on skydragon with boeffal's kernel and a good battery saving profile you cab get really good results some others even getting 7-8 SoT!
But realistically on any MarshMallow ROM your only gonna push 5 hours SoT max.
I've tried pretty much every ROM and combo with kernels ect, i'm currently using the Offical Exodus ROM 6.0.1, for me at least its just awesome lovely user experience very very fast and just all round a brilliant and stable ROM and updated lots.
But as for battery life i get 4 to 4 and a half hours SoT on average a fue times had over 5 hour but thats using the phone very little, i get through the day on one charge 80% of the time and thats good enough for me.
Hope this helps a little let me know if theres any other questions you have.
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.
I bought my G4+ almost a year and a half ago, and have since flashed lot of ROMS(Nougat and Oreo) until about a month back, when custom ROMS gave me only about 2-3 hours of SOT. I then flashed stock 7.0 and was getting around 3.5 hours of SOT, and now its back to 2.5 since a week. I now barely value performance as I only use whatsapp, reddit and a music player. I've checked the relevant threads, they seem outdated and I feel I'd get a better answer this way.
What ROM and Kernel should I use for maximizing my battery life? Is downgrading to 6.0.1 stock a viable option?
NOTE: I know my phone is old and I'll upgrade my phone in May, but I really need to find a way to stop my phone dying on me in the middle of the day.

Hello, a one year old phone isn't old unless the battery capacity isn't good anymore.
Anyway, there are lots of threads(not outdated, actual discussions ongoing) that can help you to maximize your battery life:

And also this one:

Now take some time and read possible solutions. You won't get other answers than already written in those threads
And please don't downgrade to marshmallow, you won't get better battery life, it's only minor and not worth the risks.
Hey guys,
Apologizing if I have overseen an existing thread. I'm wondering what's the best kernel for the S8 regarding battery life since I'm quite satisfied in terms of performance with all of them.
Thanks in advance!
Bump, I will get this phone in few days and dont know what to install
