Rom or Rom+Kernel with best battery duration known? - HTC Inspire 4G

So ye, maybe tonight or tomorrow a storm will come and probably will have no electric power, I have 3 batteries but just in case it takes long to get electricity back I wanna know what rom or rom/kernel combination has been proved to be one of the bests battery saver.
I know I might get shot by the search police but I made this new topic cuz roms get updated everytime and old searches can point me out outdated answers, plus I need a quick response since the storm might start tonight, thanks.

There's no definitive BEST. It's all about what you do and how well you manage it. I get pretty great battery life with CM7 and LordMod's kernel. But some people have battery drain issues with cm7 nightlies. It's more about you and your phone. Experiment, try stuff out, see what works best for you.

Thanks I will download CM7 now

I recommend using the Nightly builds, it intimidates some people who are new to CM7 but they are really good and for the most part very stable.

I recommend any aosp build. I'm on miui with the lordmod kernel and you can go days if you turn off data, which isn't necessary in an emergency situation like you are describing .

YO Thanks again, CM7+BFSLordmod with the stable puv gave me 10 hours (data/sync off and screen most of the time off) and it was still at 91%!!! thanks a lot.
Im surprised how leedroid and other sense based roms now drain a lot of batteries! maybe cuz of the new sense, I remember leedroid gave me better battery results in the past similar to cm7.

I'd go with ninja its got better battery life and is even smoother

if not normal how can i fixed this???
and what the normal range in ram
THANX FOR YOUR ATTENTION
Hm, its very hard to understand you, but if I got it right: Theres nothing odd about your pictures, the appicons inside the red circle is just shortcuts to the latest used apps, doesn't mean they are running atm.
Your memory used and free in second picture is absolutley normal for stock rom. And you dont really need to kill apps, let the phone handle that it self, it will be fine. Advanced taskmanager is pointless in my opinion.
Be well

If you can get it from Amazon you may even be able to get 2 batteries and a charger for not much more than price of one battery

If you are asking about a better battery, yes like the others before said, try the anker batteries. Great battery for the money.
However if you are indicating that you are loosing charge faster than stock, then you may have a few issues. Either you are using an older version of clockwork recovery or it can be a kernel issue. Both are easily fixable. For clockwork, open up Rom Manager and update that if you haven't already. And for the kernel, try another kernel.

thanx to all
may be you are right
iam try a new kernal but i need a new version and the best from you
also i think i'll buy a battery ( gold battery 2430 )

My preference is plain old stock kernel. Stable and everything works. But the bricked kernels I try from time to time.
Tip..
go to Display settings and lower your screen brightness you will have longer battery Life .

HTC Sensation & ICS Battery Life

Hi.
I have recently bit the bullet and upgraded my sensation to one of the leaked ice cream sandwich roms purely because I fancies a change. My initial impressions were that it was not really offering anything different however one major plus is the battery life as it's definitely better. Not sure what they have tweaked or turned off however its certainly better.
Anyone else noticed any big improvements when running one or three leaks?
Cheers
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Yep, I thought the same, I'm running RCMix v2.1 and it seems better than it did with stock, could be an illusion though as I only had it stock for a few days so was constantly using it!
Thats one thing I have noticed, its a nice new look, and battery is a lot better
ty
It is definitely better battery life. I'll post up some stats once I settle on a ROM.
i noticed that,too...and it's on stock kernel,imagine how good it will be when htc releases kernel source and our great devs make them even better
Pretty light usage. 50 minutes screen on time and just 20 minutes of calls. But still 75% at the end of the day is awesome.

I've got the opposite experience, been trying 3 ICS ROM:s so far and the battery life is overall about 2/3 of the latest offical sensation rom release. The standby time has improved, but i watch a lot of videos and the battery then burns about 30% per hour.
I'm on the verge to revert, as it is now I have to charge atleast 2 times a day.
Have you upgraded your firmware to match Billun?
My Sensation worked fine without issue without using the firmware on an ICS build but then I altered to the new ICS firmware and my battery life nearly doubled.

Yes, I did upgrade the firmware aswell.
I've also tried to install the full RUU beta but the battery lifetime is the same.
As it is now I have to charge atleast once every 12 hours.
The standby time is very good but as soon as i start using the phone i can literally see the battery disapper.
I've been using the ICS version of Insert Coin for a couple of weeks, and I've found the battery life to be worse than under Gingerbread. I'm hoping that's just because of the beta nature of the ROM :-/

[Q] Why is "Android OS" draining my battery? [Resolved]

Here are some screenshots of my Battery Usage and as you can see my battery is just horrible:

I have done some research into the Android OS draining the majority of the battery and didn't really find anything with the SGS4G, however found the issue in the Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy SL i9003, Galaxy Note GT-N7000, and the Samsung Infuse 4G forums, and I am sure there is probably more..
Out of all those forums this is the only one that seemed like it could have a solution linking it to:
1. Google backup transport
2. Organizer widget

My only problem, I have neither of those on my phone.
I was hoping that maybe somebody here could help me diagnose the issue. For the longest time I just have thought my battery is getting old and isn't holding a charge as long, or I just use my phone too much. However after watching my Battery Usage over the past couple days makes me wonder if there isn't another issue here.
I am currently running RaverX3X's amazing Valhalla BlackEdition Final with the Booster and FBis251's bhundven's SMS KJ6 v0.2.0 Kernel. I also have installed the BraviaHack and am using the KG4 Modem. I am able to post logs or anything that can possible help. I have used thomas.raines 1-Clink Gremlin Remover following each step to the "T" with no luck of fixing the issue.
I have attached more Battery Usage Stats as well in case they might help.

I will have to give that try, do you happen to know what kernels are known for providing the best battery life? I guess I can always search around and see lol.

I'll have to give that a shot. Right now I'm testing battery usage with airplane mode activated, and the screen off for the next 8 hours. I'm logging battery usage with the BetterBatteryStats app, to see if I can pin point the problem in the first place.

Sent from my Maybach s 4g
Thanks guys, I have pretty much resolved the issue as I have switched Kernels and am no longer experiencing huge battery loss from anything other then the Display which is just plain normal. I still plan to update over to FBis251's version of ValhallaBlack as I have been keeping an eye on it, and debating when to make the switch.
[On a side note] I'm still not hundred percent sure why the Kernel was giving me this issue to begin with. If I had more experience with Android development debugging I'd love to dig deeper into this issue. However though since it doesn't seem to be a huge issue among other users in the SGS4G forums, and it is easily fixed by using another Kernel I don't really see the need.
Thanks again FBis251, and m0bstr.
Problems with Android OS with Gingerbread and Froyo
I have now encountered battery drainage problems on two different Samsung phones. For a long time my Samsung Captivate ATT running Froyo 2.2 was killing my battery. I was about to buy a new phone. I touched base with Samsung and decided to back up my phone and do the factory wipe.
After the reset and the loss of my apps, the phone seems to be working ok. Even a battery which constantly appeared to be dead, is now working fine and holding a charge.
Today another phone the Samsung Glide ATT running Gingerbread seems to have caught the problem and Android OS is using 25% of the the battery. This is ridiculous.
Normally, about 75% is for display and OS doesn't even show up.
Another person at work had an Android exhibiting similar problems today. This problem seems to be pretty widespread if I know three people with this problem. Feedback appreciated.
Maybe "One Power Guard" can help you downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889740

[Q] Which ROM's don't have black screen of death

Which ROM's here do not have the issue with the black screen of death? (When the phone will sometimes just not come out of sleep mode sometimes, often when charging or with wifi turned on)
I know that Cyanogenmod has the issue, but what about other ROM's? I'm looking for a nice GB ROM that wouldn't have this issue.
Reborn doesn't do that for me.

Latest baseband, mokee with stock kernel and I never get bsod. I'll have to try with mazouts kernel.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I have not had a BSOD on PA CM10 Build 9, v21y, and Mazouts latest kernel yet. Battery performance could be better though.
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried CM10 and didn't like the lack of hardware acceleration. So I'm waiting on CM10.1 for that. Hopefully some of the BSOD issues will be resolved there. In the mean time, looks like I have some ROM's to look at.

SOD is a kernel issue, not ROM.

+1 for a lot of truth in it! It's also phone-dependent. Not all phones experience BSOD's with all kernels. It's an art to mixing and matching the kernel to your phone that gives the best performance. For example, my phone is SUPER-PICKY when it comes to Kernels. I can't OC my phone above 1.2Ghz or the phone will just randomly reboot. Also, ALL kernels cause my phone to BSOD while charging. I have to enable the preference to never let my phone go to sleep while charging. Before you start suggesting solutions to this, I have tried everything from increasing the voltage of the lower frequencies. I have tried eliminating the lower frequencies while sleeping. All of it. My phone is just a PITA when it comes to charging. I can live with it being on all the time while charging.
Yeah being on while charging is no big deal. How do you do this though? I only found a setting to keep the display on for 30 minutes tops in my G2x running CM 7.2.

your welcome
"Well, bust my buttons! Why didn't you say that in the first place? That's a horse of a different color!"
The "Settings-->Applications-->Development->Stay Awake" trick works for me as well. I'm running cm7 -20130201-nightly on the v21y baseband with the 2.6.32.60-mazkrnl.GB kernel. Without the stay awake setting enabled the phone will still freeze but I haven't had the a problem since enabling the setting over two weeks ago. I also have a Titanium Backup schedule set up that alternates between backing up new applications and saving modified data at 3:30am every night with a device reboot for good measure.
This is the first time in the almost two years I've owned the phone that I've been fully satisfied with it. I feel like I can live out the rest of my three year contract with the phone now without a problem. I guess the note 2 (or a sony xperia device, I can't decide) will have to wait, my G2X still has some fight in it yet.
I must also note that I have never had an issue with any of the ics of jb ROMs. The last ROM I was running was "[Dez 30] [P999][ROM][CM10] ParanoidAndroid v2.56 Hackfest JB [build9beta]." I used it for over a month but the lack of a decent camera, no video recording ability, wifi drain, general battery drain and battery indication problems eventually became too much. The ROM itself was stable as a rock but the small issues become too much after a while.

Which Rom / Mod gives best battery

Hey guys, would love to know which Rom or mod gives the best battery life for our mobile. I am on stock and planning or changing up if any of them are worth it. Please do reply. And FYI I am still a noob so do be kind haha. Peace ✌

haha well thanks. I get around 4 to 4.30 min screen on time with a lot of clash of clan haha. Like 2 hours of clash of clan !! Its good but i just wanted to know if it can be made even better.
Yea stock is best unfortunately. But with medium use I end the day around 50% battery life with cm12.1, although I do not pay for data and keep GPS off until needed and limit play services' ability to wake CPU.

I'm with a terrible serviced carrier network called Wind Mobile so the battery is always being drained just keeping connection with cm12.1 / custom roms I get about half a day until I gotta charge it up from about 13% with stock I get way over. That's the one thing I'll give Motorola, I literally just root and use xposed for any of my needs and with marshmallow coming layers is built straight into aosp so theming is also an added bonus. I'm actually really looking forward to a stable MM release.
okay then guys, thanks. will stick to stock and wait for MM .
For me pac rom works vey good and battery is great. I go to work 7.00 am and stop working at 3.30pm between that time i lost 5-7 % battery. I use viber messenger lot and internet short time in my coffee breaks. I can give thumps for pac rom.
How about kernels vs battery usage?
Stock, Squid or blu_spark?
Stock rom and blu_spark r92 gives the best battery drain:

As a former Torontonian, I feel you. Basically every carrier in Canada is inadequate, and very expensive. With my carrier and kernel settings, my phone has 7 hours of SOT. I'm using a carrier that has good coverage over the entire country, and it has LTE only.
After using all roms i found that stock rom gives the maximum sot
