Best ROM and Kernel for battery life right now? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

I am getting extremely low battery usage @ idle & a very fluid Android Pie 9.0 experience on my daily driver since 5 months now: Galaxy S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0 klte build 2019-08-24 + Open GApps Pico + LineageOS AddonSU with the stock LineageOS kernel and getting monthly over the air Android security bumps with the convenient built-in Updater.

Which is the best ROM for galaxy note 3 considering battery life?

I've tried cyanogenmod 12.1 and 13. They give terrible battery life...
Plus I've tried phronosis v5.2 which is ok..but not that much great with battery life..
So, which is the best ROM for note 3 considering battery life(without lag)?

Try Stock ROM or AryaMod (stock based) and flash Lean or Idle Kernel for battery life.
because Stock gives better battery anyday!
bob
Testet many roms but best and stabale battery friendly is aryamaod 5.3
The best is still debloated Kit Kat rom, either from jamal or rayman95 ☺

Try to look at ROM as linux distros.
Every ROM is bunch of apps,graphic and services put together while kernel is the one who makes the calls.
Kernel tells how every piece of hardware is going to be used including battery/cpu/gpu.
By installing custom kernel and lowering max freq. and minimizing active services you should get best results.
There are also undervolting uoptions and much more.
All in all its sad that you didint even bother to read any of existing articles about how android works ,battery management and kernel optimization.
Here are few articles you should read.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ROM-VS-Kernel
http://www.qrg.northwestern.edu/projects/vss/docs/power/2-how-do-batteries-work.html
These are bear essentials so dig in.

To buy or not to buy

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.

Is over heating issue on custom ROMs is directly related with Battery Life ? Because I noticed that those custom ROMs which have over heating issue , drained battery faster.......!
I used almost every custom ROMs except MIUI ROMs(I honestly don't like the UI) , which are being posted on XDA as well as on needrom..!! Out of which I made a list of few Stable ROMs as given below:
1) BLEND ROM (Stable, Battery drain fast, Heating issue)
2)Official VIBEUI_V3.5_1629_7.155.1_DEV_K50-T5 (Stable, Battery life ok)
3)XUI MM 6.0 (Stable, Battery drain fast, Over heating issue)
4)AOSP PURE St 1.5 (Stable, Battery drain fast, Heating issue)
5)Ghost Glitch v6 (Stable, Good battery life, NO heating issue, Except so many useless Apps)
6)VIBE PURE St 1 (Stable, Heating issue, Battery life ok, VR support)
7)Androium VUI K3N (Stable, NO heating issue, Battery life ok, OTA support, VR support)
8)Paranoid Android V3 Final Version (Stable as compared with other CM based ROMs, Heating issue, Battery drain fast)
9)UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 12.1 Final (Stable, Battery life ok, Touch sensitivity Issue)
10)Resurrection Remix (Stable, Battery drain fast, Heating issue)
11)BLISSPOP UNOFFICIAL (Stable, Heating issue, Battery drain fast)
I also flash so many CM based ROMs like CM 13, AICP 10, AICP 11 etc. on my device, but there are so many bugs in it .
We don't know when we get the BEST Stable ROMs..!! But, I definitely request the BLEND ROM developer "Indian Tigers" please give us a new update on BLEND ROM. And one more thing guys - ANTUTU Benchmark scores are useless. There is no need to overclock the CPUs, in daily usage basis we expect stable, good battery life and new added features in our devices.
Custom version of s427 is pretty much good by fran123 on needrom.. I'm using his rom and its stable and battery life is ok..
For me best Battery life is Androium VUI 1 (OTA AIUM 1,2)
Just charging battery takes over 6 hours of.

and here:
http://www.needrom.com/download/androium-vui-k3n/
I have found the stable Cyanogenmod 12.1 ST5 ROM to be quite good.
Guys, I am using this ROM "http://www.needrom.com/download/paranoid-android-v3-final-version/" from needrom and applying this patch from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/development/patch-lagfix-rom-t3466057" developed By sandeep.sethi. I am using this ROM around two & a half weeks. I must say this the best and stable ROM available on cyanogenmod base. Heating issue was solved by applying this patch as well as battery life increases. Thanks a lot for providing us such a valuable patch. This patch saves so many ROMs life and increase the performance level......!!!!!
I tested many roms regarding the battery life in the past and reported all the results in the Index Thread with screens and all. One of the very best for battery is SudaMod and I'm still using it.
Actually there is no rom right now give such that...the android itself make battery life short.
Google has develope new android 7 nougat & state that it has improve the battery consuming power for smartphone
I'm very happy with the italian rom MM 6.0 1621 (and 1609 with google dialer) from the italian developer Cuoco92. It has a very good battery life, plus other little features like the touch on status bar clock to shut off the display and so on.
The only thing that I don't like is the showing of numbers on dialer and dial list. I resolved installing Truecaller.
The rom is in the Cuoco92's channel at androidfilehost.

After trying almost every single rom i am daily driving Darklord reborn v4.1 s7 edge marshmallow rom port by nx team with darklord ux v2.0 kernel.
No bugs so far very fast ui launcher no lag very stable.
Always on display,blue light filter,outdoor mode,ultra power saving mode,theme store game launcher,beats audio,viper4android,dolby atmos,dual speaker sound mod and almost everything working without bugs.
Getting 5 hours of Screen on time on wifi.
Definitely recommend it.
I am not saying other roms are not good it's just my own personal opinion.
Just a quick tip
If you wish to try this rom you must update your bootloader and modem to latest version of lollipop.

You mention always on display, does it actually work on that ROM without excessive battery drain?

Always on display consumes about 2% to 3% battery per hour on this rom.
any other suggestions from other modders? i just got a note 3 and i was wondering which rom is the best up to now. (gaming and moderate battery life)
if you are using a customized kernel, please do mention it maybe i can get an idea from your setup. thank you xda!
Very few active updated roms for Note 3 /likewise many rom downloads long gone .
Start by looking in development for active roms .

recommendation for custom mods with UPSM

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a recommendation of a custom mod for my S5 that includes the Ultra Power Saving Mode of the stock Android setup. (6.0.1)
Sorry, I'm a bit new to modding, though I've done a few older Samsung devices. So, I am not sure if this feature is unique to the S5 or the version of Android.
But when I check features of various popular mods, like Lineage for example, I don't see any mention.
The other devices I've modded, Samsung Galaxy Tab and an S3, the feature is not included.
I run UPSM 90% of the time on my S5 now. Only switching to normal mode on rare occasions.
This is not just to prolong battery life, but to keep the typical mobile distractions at bay.
I'm hoping that somebody might have some experience with this.
Thanks!
Well, took the chance on LineageOS 16. After a little tweaking with the power settings. I'm very impressed.
Using a battery estimator app, I'm getting about 7 days of standby. Wishful thinking perhaps?
But after three hours of basic use, including a 1 hour phone call, dropped me to 82% from 100%.
With UPMS it would have been about 92%.
So, not bad over all. I think UPMS is probably better for my simple tastes.
Surely, not worth the security concern of staying on Android 6 though.
