I have been using NScollab for a little bit but I have noticed that I eat about 10% battery every hour and that is on standby. What would you guys recommend as the Best Rom for battery life right now for Nexus S? Is there a better Kernel/Rom mix to use?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Stock ROM + TUV11 or XTEUV92.
Peter Alfonso's ROM
I am using about 50% per day.
I would say Oxygen 2.3.1. I've tried a few others, incluing BugLess Beast and I can honestly say that I like Oxygen the most. It's slick, I go to bed with 50% on my battery at night with about 2 hours screen time and is always on the latest version of the AOSP code. On 2.3.7 at the moment.

+1 for oxygen, or try carbon, based off oxygen

cm7 nightly with its own kernel is not bad. i use 50% per day too.
Try SuperOSR its the most stable and quick that i have tasted

Best for battery life is stock.
Or you can always try Oxygen + TUV 10/ TEUV.

just a little question .. i am running CM9 RC1 and i find it less stable then CM9 RC0 and i dont know why but i feel like the battery drains out more quickly than before.
so if my main priority is battery life (along with some smoothness)
what other Rom i could think of? any suggestion ???
I don't agree that stock I'd better than custom rom. I'm using nexusMV, the battery performance is pretty good. So far I think it is best to use for my nexus s.

U should get coredroid when they realead update 6.6 I'm waiting on it.

I use Leedroid with its own kernel will run nice and very very easy on battery
I second leedroid. I've literally tried Android revolution hd, coredroid, and leedroid, and leedroid seems to be the fastest, smoothest, and stable as far as I'm concerned with the ability to o/c up to 1.8ghz if you're into that sort of thing. Thanks developers!

Every rom will work differently for everyone, best is to try which works best for you. I am using TB Fusion 1.1.2

i find Gingerbeast to be best on battery, as well as really stable. If you don't want sense and want Gingerbread 2.3.4 the way Google meant it, this is your Rom. Quick, smooth, and reliable.
How is cm7 on the inspire?

Cm7 is marvelous

i have leedroid...first rom i have tried and it seems very stable and quick, im also using leedroid's kernel
cant say too much about battery life yet, but it seems pretty good
8 hours 48 mins.... from 98 to 67% with light usage...
I'm using CM7, and my battery lasts almost twice as long, with just a few apps running. IMO, HTC Sense is the problem causing massive battery drain. But I tend to like Android as it was intended to be.
CM7 or anything based on it is great. It's ran the smoothest for me.

are you guys using cm7 or cm7 nightly?
whats the difference anyways?
yea ill admit im trying to get my post count up, i could search....but i want to leave feedback in the dev section sooo....
I have found these 2 Roms the best for battery life.
Cleardroid and CM7 (not nightly)
Nightlies are updated pretty much every day. Not "stable" and experimental. I'm currently running CM7 Nightly 84 (downloading 85 right now) and i have pretty good battery life using LordMod's UEv2.0 VIO kernel with -25 script. I jumped on board the CM7 Nightly train from Android Revolution 5.1.5 (now 5.1.7) to try out Netflix, which works great. Though my battery life with ARHD 5.1.5 and I think it was Apache's kernel was fricking amazing. I could go two days between charges with normal/light usage.
Men there are many roms, i thing the Best is CoreDroid v6.6 Even leeDroid (Reboot issue)
Inspired ACE 1.0.1 + MDJ's Kernel V19
This is my Inspire after moderate use, always WIFI ON.
FaceBook+Twitter+Weather // Updating Data every Hour.
I tested every single Rom (I have 3 Inspires) this is THE BEST combination I found for battery life.

I have tried so many different ROMS and have always come back to Inspired Ace 1.0.1 I have it heavily modded with lots of Sense 3.0 components and still the battery life is more than exceptable for me and the performance (even moderatly overclocked to 1.21) is clean and smooth.
i do have to say though that if you dont want the Sense experience then CM7 has to be the best out there. but for my taste i like the frills and bling theat Sense provide.
P.S. keep in mind that overclocking, even moderately is not recomended. And since all hardware reacts differently your inspire may not tolerate being overclocked or it may tolerate it even better than mine. Battery life as always is not an objective reference but subjective my use may be far less than yours and it all depends on what you are using it for.
so many to choose from, i keep going back to cm7 based personally. Recently been using mdj cm7.1.0 v1.4 with the latest lordmod kernal PUV. The rom can be found in the Desire HD section. Just flash the audio fix after flashing the rom. So fast yet has the least battery drain. On standby, I hardly draw any juice at all! TPGB is a great choice as well!
I have my wife's inspire running Inspired Saga (100% stable) using the 12.35..... radio and juice defender app. She avgs 1d 4hrs on a single charge. And yes that includes a few hours of angry birds. She has been running it for the last month. And i have yet to do anything to it since flashing the rom. No fc's no reboots etc. It runs flawlessly.
I was just wondering which kernel would be good to use on the NS with an MIUI rom for battery life? Been switching between Trinity's TUV10 and Matr1x's 10.5 and 9.5 cfs.
I usually get around 20-24 hours usage once it's off the charger. My usage is moderate... I listen to music for about an hour a day, check the news for about 15 mins.. a few texts and usually no calls.
Any of you guys out there using an MIUI rom but is setup more towards battery life rather than performance?
Thanks!
hardly archive that... MIUI is battery killer
i use franco , pretty good , you should have tried it , but latest version has not good battery life as before , hope it will improve...
------
personal advice , why don't you buy an additional battery ... then you won't have to worry battery life anymore
better yet , use 2G instead of 3G when you check up the news
Matr1x 11.0 man

Woah didn't know 11.0 was out already.
Thanks for the update.
Btw amazing kernel you have there

It would be nice to see a comparison of NS kernels (on the same conditions, of course)
I think i'll check your ROM in the next days, mathkid95
Now using matrix 11.0 cfs, 800/100 smartassv2, disabled deep idle. Performance is still pretty good and battery life has increased by a few hours

My friend upgraded his OS to 4.0.3 and he's been reporting so bad battery life since the upgrade.
i was planning on rooting his phone and loading CM9. How is it handling?
Hi,
I also had a bad battery life with stock ICS. I didn't try CM9 a long time, but i guess it will be much better than stock. I doubled my battery life and my nexus feels more stable and faster.
..
CM9 v4.0.3 v1.1 with CM kernel seems to work great. Installed yesterday and pulled 20+ hours on a single charge before I decided to charge it before work. I am a moderate user, checking email, Facebook, browsing a bit online, and listening to Spotify when driving.
This version also seems to perform better with lack of lag on the app drawer. There are other ICS roms with more features at this point, but CM has always been a favorite for me. From what I understand on later versions there will be many of the same customization features as well.
..
Been using CM9 V1.0 for a week now and it just...works! Evenings of USB tethering in hotelrooms, lots of navigating with Google maps, lots of tinkering, etc. With deep idle enabled battery life is indeed good. (drops from 95 to 88% during a 7 hour sleep overnight) And it's stable too. Any reboots I've done were to flash further mods and backups...
Just use cm9, slap a kernel like matrix or glados on board. Boot up, install nstools. Enable deep idle and tweak as you like and you will have good battery life.
I use smartassv2 governed and sio scheduler

It's good, but you can tell its not finished yet... I was running it before, but the Music app is from Gingerbread and the screen was flickering every time I locked the screen. The battery life however, is a lot better than the stock

I'm confused. Is this official CM9 ([ROM] [i9020/23] CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 v1.1) or a kang?

And it's working really good. Never got any problems with it. The v2 is coming soon ;-)
v2.1 is working really well. I still get screen flicker when opening up the browser - as if it is struggling to show a pure white screen and as mentioned above the music app is in development, along with other features.
As a daily driver it has been great and with respect to the battery life, when 'deep idle' is on, I don't notice much difference from CM7.
which is the best rom and kernel for battery? amongst gingerbread, ice cream sandwich and jellybean..
There is no real "best" for everyone. Your best bet will be to flash the ROM of your choice, based on your preferences, then play around with different kernels and settings, allowing each one to settle for a day or two minimum, until you find what you like and/or what works best for your use & device.

Strictly opinión on battery life:
Rasbeanjelly 11/6 + marmite for battery life.
Performance: rasbeanjelly 11/6 + matrix cfs 24

Its way better than JB4.2 I'm sure. But it depends on the ROM and kernel u choose too. I'm using paranoid 2.5 ATM and getting quite good backup.

Hello all, I am wanting to get a good battery life on my mobile. So if I use a marmite kernel with stock jb will I get a better battery life or marmite kernel with rasbeanjelly will give better battery life.
What combo among the two I mentioned you all suggest for good battery life.
Thank you for reading.

I think that kernels have very little impact on power consumption (except if they running undervolted, downclocked or are broken in some way). More important thing is the ROM and apps that you use on daily base.
Best battery consuming ROM from my exp is CM10 stable with stock kernel, but maybe with 15-20 mins of screen time more than stock at most. Best tip for conserving power on NS and JB is to switch off 3G, Google Now and Location service when you don't need it.

Thanks for replying. But isn't people facing issues with cm10?

Perhaps with 10.1, but 10 stable, or the latest 20122012 nightly was pretty stable. I had one issue only with it - auto brightness was somewhat jerky... That's only battery wise.
Fastest ROM for me is MDO by knzo, RasbeanJelly mod which I am using right now. 3 and a half hours of screen time is same as 3 hours and 15 minutes. Either way I need to charge it at the end of the day.
