I'm not to worried about speed as the nexus s seems way faster then my old vibrant. So which rom kernel is everyone running to get the best battery life!

kernel: Netarchy's 1.3.0.5-CFS for sure.
ROM: i use CM7 and battery life is fine for me.
the biggest battery saver is to use BLACK colors. they don't use any power on super amoled screens (applies to I9020 models only)

Didn't get me battery life I was expecting. After thirteen hours I'm at 15%

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.
Nexus s 4g what is the best set up for battery life? Currently running matrix cfq with ondemand gov @ 800mhz .. And its like its not going to sleep.. losing 15% every 2 hours with screen and data off

Try using a 1300/400 setup with smartassv2
You sure deep idle is enabled?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Try to wipe battery stats at 100% and get through at least two charge cycles, it helped in my case
personally , stock ROM has longest battery life
I´m running MV Nexus Rom with matrix 10.5... Using 1320/440... Deep idle enabled and max freq when screen off enabled and it´s giving an awesome battery life... I´m using a TMo Nexus S

Honestly I'm not sure what deep idle is.. I'm working on a friends phone.. I have a charge. I didn't know smartass was an option.. But I'll def hit that up.. So how do I enable deep idle? And how would raising min clock speed save battery life? jw?

Bionix 1.5 with Morfics TEUV, best battery life for sure!
try oxgyen...
super simple ROM....
Bionix seems amazing for battery life as well.

Hi. I am using stock ics. Getting 1.5days of battery with light usage of data(2g). However. Is there a rom that can push it, to a full 2 days? I'm irritated having to charge my phone in the middle of the day. also I would prefer a stable rom only.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
you can put a custom kernel that can extend your battery life. i recommend glados for ics.
Are there any problems with it ?

about GlaDos
if you have S-amuled you will have a greenish screen when waking the device
(that can be fixed with some voodoo configuration editing)
other then that i personally think this is the best available kernel for ICS right now.
it has Deep Idle so you will probably see some improvement of battery life

i have 9023, lcd version.. should i flash Nexus beam with it?
Battery life depends on ROMs and your usage habits.
If you can get five hours of on screen time your doing something right.

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.
Guys i am on my holidays and i play a lot of ingress currently i am on CM10.1 RC2, my battery is draining like anything so can any one suggest me a ROM that has a good battery and also a proper kernel which will go on with it. I dont mind downgrading but i need a ROM which has best GPS and also the best battery backup. I tried every ROM here and i get nearly 5 hours of battery that is all.
Please suggest me one ROM.
Try JellyShot + marmite

Smartass2/deadline 1000/100 mhz (only about an hour on 3g)
I was out today, and had screen at max brightness using gps for directions, playing solitaire and using 3g for FB, email ect... I only got 6 hrs battery with 3.5 hrs screen time.. I really didn't think that lowering the brightness helped that much, as I usually don't have it at full, but there is a huge difference.. Over 50% drop in battery life..
A simple rom with rich dark kernel
If u want the best battery from your phone consider trying Rasbeanjelly ROM with matr1x kernel.This ROM and kernel has always given me the best battery life though this ROM is not as highly customizable as aokp, paranoid android etc.

RC2 isn't that old (eaven if they pussed RC4 now), SO I'm guessing you dont have it installed for a long time, stay with it a couple of days and let the sistem calibrate the battery properly, after a fiew charging cicles it will be fine...if that doesent work try bb6 with marmite or helly 4.1.2 with Devil kernel updated
I've been frustrated with the battery, as I use this phone as my daily.. I recently bought a 3800 mah battery and get about 7 hours of screen time with moderate to heavy use.. I'm a bit more reassured now

Is that the extended battery?
The one that makes the phone fat?
Yea! Exactly that one.. But I don't notice it too much to be honest.. My thumb does most of my phone work.. And sometimes I used to be stuck phone-less, so for me the weight is a small price to pay

I too play Ingress, if you're getting about 5 hours of play time you're doing very good. Most people that I play with get 2 hours max as Ingress is a client heavy app. Remember that playing Ingress is like streaming a movie to your phone and running GPS. The data/Wi-Fi and GPS use a lot of power as they are always on with your screen. I have found that if I tether my phone to another device and just use Wi-Fi for data I get about another 30 min of play time, or if I just use the phone as a hot-spot I will get about 4 hours of play on my N7 with out recharging.
