Battery friendly Custom ROM

Can anyone suggest a battery friendly ROM here? I'm only getting around 2 hrs screen on time with data/wifi on had to charge 2 times during the day to keep my device alive.

Try changing your battery, you will be satisfied with the result. Cheers

Only issue is there are barely any batteries available. I was looking for a new battery on Ebay and Amazon, though I could not find any with enough positive ratings/reviews.

I Tried CM Roms not very good on drainage but you seem to have a good battery hrs. Straight wifi/date my note 3 only gets about 2 hrs all on Phronesis/Aryamad 6.5 and Aryamod v2.1

I found AryaMod S7Edge v6.5 to be the best of the lot.

Galaxy S5 port 6.0.1 is the best.

Chemical orientation of battery gets jumbled over time resulting in lesser juice than normal. Hence, it needs rest of a month or two. You better purchase a new battery and give rest to your old battery after charging it to 100% and then keep alternating the new with the old one. Means, keep one battery inside for a month or so then replace it with the other. This way your new and old battery will perform almost identical and their life will prolong as well :fingers-crossed:

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.

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.

Hello @AndiValon
How is the battery life for you, do you face any bugs, if yes, what kind of? Does BT work (for my Gear S2).
What exactly is the difference between project alice and the rom port from sac23?

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.

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.

Custom Nougat ROM Users! feedback needed

Hello Guys ! After reading up about the issues with the Nougat Official updates i wanted to give custom roms a chance.
However , the experience with Custom ROMS over the years have made me realise , Battery backup is never the same on a custom ROM compared to the Stock firmware.
Can people who tried out different ROMS and Kernels , suggest which rom or ROM+Custom Kernel combination gives Stock like Battery performance ??
Eagerly waiting for you replies so that i can get flashing..
Thanks in Advance
Your help is much appreciated

In every Nougat custom ROM battery is almost the same as stock. You have simply to choose the best for you.
I personally have AospExtended with Optimus r21 and I'm happy with it

Any specific Governor settings in the Optimus R21 kernel ??
And do you use dual sims in 4G ?
Any other Misc Settigns you do ?
What about the Standby time and SOT that you generally get ??
Thanks in advance BRO

I prefer "sis" eheh
Anyway, my kernel settings: BIG cluster max freq set to 1.6Ghz instead of 1.7 (I don't need any overclock), min freq to 345Mhz and Little cluster max to 1.1Ghz and min to 499Mhz, both clusters on Optimus governor. I left the other settings to r21 original.
I have a european single-SIM device, so no...
For the rest, all il stock, I haven't any battery friendly script, I believe in my Moto X Play, I don't want to mutilate it.
In Wi-Fi I reach 8h of SOT, I can stand 2 days without charge it in normal use. In LTE mode, almost 5-6 hours if I go out with a normal use, I can't tell you with a heavy use... when I'm out I don't use the phone so much also I have a tedious mobile radio active bug (that seem affect only me and maybe a couple of other users, I'm investigating) so previously in LTE I reached also 6-6.30h of SOT

I am thinking to try out teh kernel on the stock rom first with some tweaks and then switch to custom ROMs if the results are not satisfactory

I am on Aosp extended since it's version 3.3
Right now, I'm on version 4.3
No custom kernel.
If SOT is what you want to know, for me it's between 4 to 5 hours.
Dual sim with one on 4g and second on 2g.
Data remains on whole day.
Extermely stable. Just like stock MM.
If you don't want to use root or themes, maybe it will be more stable for you.

I'm on Resurrection Remix (Official) and has some little bugs in the movements on locked screen (camera and led torch don't work as expected). Another thing is if u open camera by lock screen can't close it (navbar is blocked), the way is re lock the phone and then get to the pattern screen again.
The SOT is about 3-4h on 70% time in WiFi and 30% mobile data (4G/LTE)
About battery in general there is some screen shots: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_XlbO-BACx0bmRHc0R1dDcyQ3M
I will change my ROM because the dev (GtrCraft) discontinued the RR (see his message on the post)... So I think it's hour to test another.

Thanks a ton K.Khiladi.. those stats are impressive ... I would try this rom for sure..
My usage is mostly erratic... I am in office fro almost 7-8 hours when the phone just lies dead in pocket and when office is over i use phone services like location data and what not .. So basically i needed a ROM that has minimal drain while in the pocket and good SOT when i use my device actively for short burst of periods.... I know its always a trade off between SOT and Standby . Thanks for your advice

Standby is minimal but after flashing make sure you go to settings - battery - - battery optimisation and check that every app is optimized.

So, I flashed AOSP Extended last night... It's the best so far (just tried two ROM's yet), no bugs found by now. The torch light and camera movements works fine and I liked it.
When I completely test it perhaps make a review (maybe post here in XDA, if rules accept it).

The standby drain is okay for me.
A tip is go to the system settings > "Extensions" > "System" > "General Tweaks" > "Suspend Actions"
Then enable it...
My settings are:
Screen off delay: 5s
Screen on: 5s
Switch to 2G: Enabled
Disable Mobile Data: Disabled
Disable GPS: Enabled
This is doing magic in standby and the best part is enabling this don't make u losing any notification, they work fine here.

Best ROM and Kernel for battery life right now?

Hello, users and developers.
Got a slightly used Galaxy S5 G900T (klte) a pair of months ago. Awesome phone for its age, only problem i'm having is battery life. I'm hardly getting 10 hours on standby and 2-3 hours SoT.
So I'm looking for the best ROM and Kernel for this device. Tested a couple roms out there but they where from 2017-2018, so maybe there are newer, improved ROMs by now.
Thanks in advance and have a nice day lovely people.

Hey there,
There's nothing wrong with using an older ROM if it's awesome
I can highly recommend MagMa NX PCE ROM from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-magma-nx-rom-t3508672
If you'd like to see what battery life I'm getting with it you can check my posts on 3rd page in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/accessories/looking-battery-t3783324/page3
It's fast, it works almost perfectly and battery life is great. Obviously it depends what apps you're using as well as their settings. Note: Sync is a major drain, turn it off and use Tasker to enable it only while phone's charging.
The only thing I found not working in MagMa is to send SMS to 4-digit numbers (like parking zones for example) and there is a random shutdown sometimes right before you take a picture with the Note7 camera (you can choose another one in the ROM installer, it's Aroma). Overall the best ROM imo for the Note3 & S5 - probably for all the other supported devices as well.
