So I have Myns latest Rom and I was wondering about adding Setcpu to the Rom. My question is this. For those of you that have this rom, how is your battery life? Do you use Setcpu? Is it compatible with this rom? Should I leave it as is? I dont want to overclock, I just want to underclock when display is off to save battery. Any expert advice?
What kernel would you guys recommend? Again I dont want to make my phone faster, I just want decent battery life, and I know there are a couple of tweaks I can do. ( and yes I already know about the brightness, wifi etc)
Getting bad battery life too huh? I'm new to this rom and I'm trying out a couple combos. I have setcpu to underclock using smartass. I changed my kernal to one with more havs. I'll report my findings.

No I really havent gotten through a whole day with this Rom, so I cant say I have had bad battery life. I just wanted to know what you guys are doing and using out there.

I haven't gone a whole day either. But I will today. I will let you know how my battery does.

Im using Netarchys 4.3.1 toastmod CFS HAVS nosbc and I can average 15hours with standard use, 24+ hours if i ignore my phone all together.
I use SetCPU and Juice Defender (it turns off data when my screen is off) and i easily get a day of battery life, my minimum is 12 hours and that is if I am constantly using it
I have been using Myn's 2.2 with the netarchy 4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc kernal for a few weeks. I have Setcpu profiles to overclock ondemand at 1152 until my battery gets to 30% then runs at 998 after. Also have it underclock at 245 when the screen is off. I can easily get a full day with several texts, a few hours of surfing, a few phone calls and maybe an hour of games (Angry Birds, Let's Golf). Usually plug it in at the end of the day with at least 20% battery left.

Just curious what everyone is getting for battery life on the gb Rom? seems like i have been getting about 11hours at the most and 9 hours normally on barely any talk time with the phone and little texting almost nothing cause im at work for 9 hours. Basically.from 6am to 5pm is all i can squeeze. Btw running the screen at the lowest brightness and even clocked the cpu at 800 mhz

Oh damn, I just keep seeing bad things about the new GB ROM (bricks and everything). :T I haven't flashed it myself yet, but with that minimal kind of use, I could've gotten over 24 hours on Bionix.
Not a pro here, but maybe you can try calibrating your battery?

Try to calibrate your battery. Stay away from flashing GB right now. It will screw your bootloader up for future reference. The bootloader in it is bunk.
I flashed it with open it works great i did notice it changes stock voltage on the cpu to 1325 which most likely caused the drain issue. I can get into recovery though.

I already flashed thru heimdall before the warning came out about bootloaders. So far it's running pretty good. I need an oc/uv kernel though cuz I noticed battery runs warm at times.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Its running warm from the voltages used on the cpu in the kernel dl tagrak pay for it and changed the value of 1325 on the core voltage to 1275 stock or 1250 which i run at currently

Hey guys, I recently flash cm rc1 and been running whatever kernel that came with it. My battery life has been worse compared to stock froyo 2.2. I'm a medium usage person so I was wondering what kernel is best for battery life and what setting are people running for setcpu to maximize they battery life. Thanks in advnace.
Great question. I would like to know this too.

It seems no matter what the kernel and no matter what the Tom, everyone has different outcomes on battery life... try some out and see what works for you..

Yes, it is amazing the difference in opinion on this subject. I easily get 16 hours of battery life with moderate to heavy usage, and 1.5 days with light usage. And I am using plain CM7 RC1, without any CPU/Battery apps. Trinity or Faux kernels reduce this considerably regardless of the OC/UV combos I have tried.
To make sure you are getting accurate results and to get best battery life make sure you calibrate the battery (there is an app for this, or can be done manually). This has proven to solve problems I've had where I only get about 8 hours battery life after changing Roms.
Faux's is the only custom kernel I've tried, and my battery life is unbelievable. It's almost doubled.
Dear all,
Is it a must that OC will consume much alot battery?
I am currently using Thiaiz V21a without OC, before tried the OC of Thiaiz and Accura V5 OC 1.18,, seems the battery drop much faster when OC..even it feel faster but not consistantly stable at all.
HOw about Accura V6.1 oc? Would it consume much alot battery?
You know the battery is not good at all so dont want to add burden to the battery by oc.
Thanks~

Oc'ed cpu eats more battery but not much coz we dont able to increase voltage yet, cpu runs at ref. Voltage.
Next point, the cpu runs on diffrent frequencies, matter of its using, a lot of time at 300 mhz.
Take more attention that custom roms has many tweaks to increase performance, so it's maybe battery killer.

seems like OC wont affect the battery time much.
i just tried acura V6 but have to give up at last because of reboots and inconsistantly fast (sometime fast. sometime lag)...
have to go back to ThiaiZ no oc which satisfy my need on ordinary usage without annoying and not too slow
anyway, all the development guys are great, without them we are still living with the suck official rom~

Can you teach me how to use for 27 hrs?
for me max. 6-8 hrs for normal usage with keeping screen on/off and 2.75G signal or wifi on.
If in sleep time it drop about 15% for 7 hrs. (2%/hr)
It deppends
It deppends of the over clock and how is it made.
I've got mine overclocked and i haven't noticed a big difference between the stock clock and the new one.
Got mine at: 1188mhz tekahuna occ module.
Regards
i use acura v6 o/cd to 1230 and have not faced much battery issue. Well maybe cuz i have a charger in my car, one cable plugged in my home pc, one charger near the main TV, one charger at my bedside and one cable plugged to my notebook in office LOL. Since the cable is standard one so i had all these extras from N900, and other old nokia.

I didnt do anything special. Just used it as normal. Actually forgot to charge it.

Off course it will consume more battery, faster clock speed, means faster battery down.
But I think I found something. I freeze all the com.lge.xxx, saved 50% of my battery. Except the com.lge.hiddenmenu, don't freeze it!! U won't be able to open the settings menu.
U have to use paid titanium backup to be able to freeze apps.

That is definitely a very good tip.
Any free apps available to freeze other apps?

14 hrs and im on 77% with 1200 oc I think it's thanks to oc profile set to run at 300 MHz when phone is locked and 1200 when i use it

I was pretty pleased with my results here, so I thought I'd share. This is done with both OC and UV and making use of the the 3500mah batt and with moderate/normal use.
I can get that on stock battery, you must play some games and leave your phone on full brightness at all times or something.

No, I play one game in particular, and I spend more time on the web on my phone than most people do on their computer. I could get that on a stock battery too, if I never actually used my phone Before the the changes I made, I was getting significantly less life. Especially with OC.
It looks like the moment you turn your screen on your battery life plummets.

Thats from Oc'ing to 1560 lol
It's more useful to post test results on a standard battery and standard voltages and clock speeds so others can compare. I've gotten 3 days on stock CM7 nightly before, it really depends on how much one uses their phone. The biggest clue to how a ROM or kernel affects battery is to look at the idle drain (maybe with data off too). It should be flat or with < 0.5%/hr drain.
Where'd you get the 3500 Mah battery you are using? I've been trying to find a decent maker for one.
Hi guys. People have been getting insane battery life on their phones, but mine has never been exceptional. I've tried AOSP and stock roms, and even the KT747 Kernel but still no luck. Can anybody who has been getting great battery life post their set up (Rom, Kernel, Governor, Scheduler, Max/Min and Voltages)? Thank you.

Honestly, coming from Dinc the stock setup was awesome. Been using SynergyRom r64 for some time and i've been consistently getting 18hrs (compared to Dinc - 4-6hrs). Anyhow, wifi-on does save a lot but also use the powerSaving mode and you'll get a lot more. Couple that with undervolting when the screen is off - you'll be more impressed
I'm now rocking touchmybeans rom and so far battery life is good.

Damn man, that's seriously impressive.I'm always on WiFi and haven't gotten anywhere near that, but I don't track it very well either.
CleanROM 2.1 w/ CLeanKERNEL 1.2
System Tuner setting my CPU underclocked to 1.35GHz Max, 192MHz Min, Screen off max: 384MHz. (no lag at all)
Juicedefender turning off data when the screen is off while syncing once every 30 mins. (data turns back on almost instantly after i turn the screen on)
Getting a consistent 30-40+ hrs of battery life with around 2-3 hours of screen time.
currently I'm at 46% battery left and its been on for 1 day and 5hrs (29 hrs). but i've been busy so I've only had a little over 1 hr of screen time.
Synergy R73, Ziggy versoin 0542, SetCPU on SmartassV2. GPS doesn't work, but after 14 hours and at least 3-4 hours of screen time I was still at 45% or so.
