Poll: which custom rom do you get the best battery life with? Or stock?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Moved to general
Ive always found that CM gave me the best battery life, but right now so many roms are in an early stage of development its hard to say.
And its just just the ROM itself its a combination of the ROM and Kernel

If you want great battery life, get a blackberry.
I'm using Bionix NS1 and Trinity 1.2 OC'd Kernel. Battery life is about average for a Super Phone. The Nexus S has a 4" screen, 512mb of RAM, a 3d GPU, and a 1ghz processor; how good can the battery life get? Just ten years ago, a laptop with specs like this was considered pretty fast. If you get a day or so from the battery, be OK with that. Technically, the Nexus S is a miniature computer, and will suck power as needed.
CyanogenMod has done far better than anything for me. I have tried all the roms but am always coming back.

What is the best kernel out so far as in performance and battery life.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
That's not an easy question to answer as it all comes down to personal preference. I've tried a few so far and Lee's is suiting my needs so far.

I have the same questions and since it has been a while I figure more people have more input.
I keep hearing about TPC Stock ROM Optimized with Buzz OC.UV Kernel?
I am a total newb, but I really just want as few deviations from the stock as possible but unlocked, somewhat overclocked when I am working, extreme underclock on idle, and remove the bloatware.
What have you guys found?
Try Ingersoll.
On the AOSP side LordMod from the DHD section is awesome. That won't help you if you're using a Sense ROM, though.
CM7 Inspire 4G
Lordmod on cm7.
how do you know which one to use?
BFS vs. CFS

hahaha. di11s work = EXCELLENT ROM, EXCELLENT KERNEL. Current uptime is 215 hours and counting. Clocked at 1036 on SetCPU.

DEAR LORD IS THIS TRUE?
Must flash...
If you notice, just about everyone gave you a different answer. There is no best rom. generally speaking, batt life is determined by clock speed and usage. plus each rom is a little unique. Just try out different roms and see what you think.

Yup... this is how I test ROMs. If they make it past 250 hours, then they are worthy. To this day, I have only had one ROM do this, and that was on my G1. It was the TMUS rom by amazinglarry311. Di11s ROM so far is going to be the second, by the looks of it.
I run Cache Cleaner NG once every other day, tho it's really not needed that often.
Still have over 211mb free when using Advanced Task Killer, and no lags.
Battery life is from about 8:30am til just after midnight. In this time frame, the lowest I've gone is 22%. Average of 225 texts a day, maybe 3 phone calls, music ALL day at work (not streaming), and check FB every 2 hours or so. Along with the occasional email here and there.
I can't imagine sending 225 text messages in one day.

So,I'm so freaking tired of charging my phone 3 times a day (HTC inspire) so I flash different roms,without sense to try and save battery,and I get maybe one extra hour!! So it makes me want a different phone,and I try to think of a different OS so I install miui just to see if I can stand not having full blown android,and I can't. So I'm stuck at a crossroad,with no money to just buy another phone. What would you do? No one will trade me an atrix lol.
Sorry,just needed to vent for a minute

lol i thanked you for no reason x3
Ohwell.
Look every android i had wasn't lasting for long when it came to battery
Get miui if you like it.
download setCPU.
set the clockspeed down to something low but still usable
and set the screen off clock to something low
NOT the lowest since it could cause deathsleep. (not waking up)
Maybe look for an better battery too?
If you have more than one launcher then remove all widgets from the others!
(or unnistall them)
Oww there are lots of stuff you can do~

Try a low voltage kernal w/ smartass governor maybe.
Try a battery calibration app and LBE security app, lower display brightness. Limit the number of widgets and start up programs.
I run CM7 nightlies with faux's LV kernel overclocked at 1113 and have 4G + GPS enabled. I get at least 10 hours but more like 15. Good luck! Thankfully I don't have to limit myself or disable certain functions. I have a myTouch 4G

I run CM7 on my HD2 and it is sweet on battery also. Nothing even comparable to my iPhone 4, which I go several days without pulling it from my case and putting it in the dock to charge because I forget about it...lol, but it's certainly decent for a day's use.

I'm a pretty heavy user too, I constantly go over the 5GB data cap. I stream LOTS of music, constantly on xda, read my RSS feeds, email and text a bit. If I were you I would tinker I little more, but if you have your mind of the iphone then just pull the trigger and save yourself from stressing out

Well see if I wake up at 8am like normal,I'd like my phone to last until night time,but my inspire dies around 6pm. Im a hard core android fan,but I've came to grip with the fact that iphones aren't just a trend,its because its a smartphone you can count on. Ive heard iPhone horror stories,but maybe 1 to every 10 million android horror stories. Not baggin android,just sayin that for me,an iPhone may do the trick.

Depends on who you ask. I personally love this phone. With the Rom kernel radio combo and a little tweaking, the battery life is awesome, and I've never had any hardware problems.

best phone i have ever had. came from a dinc. at first it is huge. now the dinc is tiny and my Tbolt is perfect. and the battery life is comprable. if you govern the wifi and the mobile radios it isn't bad. you made a great choice with the bolt. we have miui now and soon to have some ishe-cream sandwich. these are exciting times.
not really interested in miui. more so with aosp.

Use the latest radio 1.48.00.0609w_1, 0.01.76.0609w_2.
Sense or aosp, I suggest imoyesons leankernel or jdkoreclipes kernel. They both make sense and aosp kernels and both are top notch.

Love mine, though I have very poor GPS performance and so-so battery life when I first got it in the April timeframe. Since then, the various ROMs have improved it to the point that I don't even care what's coming out now. I'm running BAMF SoaB 1.03 with the latest radio and it's great.

Soab is an awesome Rom. It's what inspired me to port stock runnymede.
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt powered by KillaSense 3.5.0
I came from a Droid X and can say that the Thunderbolt is a better phone. I have a few annoyances with it but mainly how it works or doesn't work with Ford Sync. The battery is depressing but I don't want the bulky extended battery. I have Juice Defender on it now and that has helped immensely through the day. I had 54% left on my battery after 8 hours at work with light usage. Before that I was at below 30% after 4 hours. I may still get an extended battery just for when I travel, but this works for me around town.
where would I find soab? Looked everywhere
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Google it. You need to go on a BAMF forum. I dont think they post here.
oh, thats what I tried. Ill google it again
in short, what setup would provide best battery life based off experience amongst thunderbolt users?
Start with the SOAB with the stock kernel, so that you have a baseline then you can try Adr's test 3 or Imo's kernel to see if they make much a difference or not.
I don't think you will get a definitive answer without trying each out on your own phone and objectively seeing which one works best for you and your particular phone.
Good luck.
I agree. Ive been around android for three years and what works best for me does not for everyone else. I was looking for an experienced based answer. The bolt I bought already has soab on it.
Gotcha. I'm using SOAB with Adr's test 3 kernel. Works great for me because I can overclock now, but battery life is about the same as it was with the stock package SOAB kernel.
I've been getting great battery life on SoaB, starting with 1.02 and now on 1.03 since it was released and the kernel that comes with it. Prior to that I was using Eaton GTP, the Froyo build, and it gets phenomenal battery life. Can't wait for them to get their Gingerbread build with Sense 3.5.

if you want insane battery life on soab flash the ziggy kernel beta one and set cpu low to the lowest setting andturn off gps and wifi and mobile antennas when not using them. i was getting 2% drop per hour this way. i went from 8 am to 8:30 pm with no charging and still had 72% battery life left also i overclocked to 1.2.
right now i am on miui wich is sick once they fix the mms it will be amazing. but i am using advanced task killer set to automatically kill apps when the screen turns off and green battery to do the same with the wifi and mobile anteannas.

Best battery life would come from one of the debloated stock roms most likely...but it also keep in mind not every phone reacts the same way as others do to a Rom...one person may get amazing life on one...while another gets terrible life on that same exact one...

Although development had stopped, Zeus had the best battery life for me.
erytherm cisa).
Zues was pretty good,except I had SOD issues several times a day, wiped, reinstalled, re-downloaded, went back to stock, rooted again, reinstalled, nothing seemed to fix the issue
For me most of the bigger gb roms all had good battery life. (legend, aeon, zues, emacipation).
One of the best roms ive used as far as battery was actually dman's catyrom. With pretty heavy usage.
But ive found out that using better battery stats to track down battery hogs is a must for any rom.
