Best battery life with custom rom/kernel

Suggestions? I currently use cm7 151 with faux's oc/uv 0.4.2 kernel. Not really happy with battery life, only get about 7 hours with moderate use. I have great signal everywhere I go.

I'm in the same boat. 8 hours ish on Weapon 2.7 - doesn't matter which kernel, or how much I undervolt it.

Eaglesblood 2.3.5 with faux 42 oc/uv best combo ever everything works

How heavy is your usage and how long does the battery last?

I'm going to give EB 2.2 a try seeing as it's new with faux's kernel and hopefully have a better time with it then last time.
Hope to post back with good results battery-wise.

I get about 12 hours with Eagleblood and the kernal it comes with. I use setCPU to lower the clock speed when the screen is off. I can use the phone at work for most of my 10 hour shift listening to music and browsing facebook or other apps that use data on my lunch and breaks along with texting a lot throughout my shift.

What's your setcpu settings with the oc/uv kernel?

which eb version and is it 2.3.3 or 2.3.5?
Thanks in Advance
I know this thread is about batt life, but what about games are there any rom / kernel combos that make games look and run better?
I'm using xboarders stock debloated and tweaked rom with stck kernel and I also get about 12 hours of light to moderate use in a day.
fauxs kernel causes my phone to black screen and shut off some times.

im using EB 2.2 Faux 4.2 the one that dose no OC or UV and it took me 8 hours of super heavy usage trying to waist my battery for me to drain it hope this helps

My solution is My custom overlay on cm7 nightly 158 with faux123's cm7 kernel STANDARD VOLTAGE with setcpu tuning it down to the second to lowest voltage when the screen goes off. My battery lasts about 35 hours!!!! I know this because I took an overnight trip.

Faux's or Trinity?

Im sort of confused which I should pick. Im currently using faux's 0.13 kernal for stock @1. 4 ghz. Which kernal is the best when it comes to battery life, performance and stability?
Sent from my G2X

That's really unknown. This phone differs too much from one to another.

Okay, but what is your opinion?
Sent from my G2X

If your phone doesn't have issues with it, Trinity ELP is best for battery.
If your phone SOD's, crashes, won't boot, etc... don't ***** to morfic, just try a different kernel. Any problems you have are typically due to a phone's incapability to use various settings, not the settings kernels themselves.

I just flashed trinity and when i booted into phoenixblood my phone freezes. I think I will be sticking with faux's kernal.
Sent from my G2X

I've tried them both, I just switched to Trinity I was running faux and the battery life was outstanding.. trinity seems to preform a smidge better I think? But unsure on battery life yet, but seems to be worse on the battery so far.

+1 trinity

Will fauxs stock/gb kernel work on weapon 3.0 ?

The only reason I stay on faux and don't bother to try other kernels is because faux allows me to play plants vs zombies on any rom .

There was a post in the general section on a Trinity vs faux benchmarkings.
Trinity won over every test they had, but only by a little.
I believe performance wise, Trinity is better, though some prefer faux.
Your choice.

Well i said trinity earlier. My gf flashed phoenixbloods v6 yesterday with faux123 kernel and its noticibly faster.

i'm running oyasumi kernel (based on faux123, undervolted and overclocked) with tsugi, and i get amazing battery life. 2-3 hours of use with max brightness and the battery barely went down to 95%.

Trinity for performance & Faux for battery life.... But honestly in my experience, trinity isn't sacrificing much battery life but you gain much better performance. I prefer Trinity TD158 oc'd to 1500. Best performance with better than stock battery life... Just try em all out, thats half the fun of flashing!

I've played with all the various kernels, and I agree with tokentatortot..
At least for my phone:
CM7 stock is decent all around, and better than the stock kernels.
Trinity T15 for maximum overclocking and max performance ( Quadrant over 5000)
Faux123's 0.48 is faster than stock, better battery life than Trinity and also slower than trinity.
Currently using PhoenixBlood 1.6 (Faux v.48 stock clock ) + V6 super charger.
I guess I'm not heavy duty user, as v6 supercharger does not seem to make things majorly different..
oddly, on my phone, the faux123 0.48 SV seems to have better battery life than faux123 0.48 UV kernel... go figure.

[Q] Trinity or Faux

Hi
I recently got into the rooting and modding Scene.. and I wanted to flash a new Custom kernal for G2x I know about Faux and Morfic's Trinity kernal .. But couldnt decide between them ... i tried to install trinity when i had a CM7 7.1 stable release but the phone got stuck in a bootloop .. i am now running the latest nightly #217 with stock cm7 kernal .. Could you please reccoment wjich kernal should i Use??
I am mainly looking for Battery life and abilty to play games (Asphalt 6) thats about it.. (right now i have under volted my phone to 760 mhz)
Thanks guys

i run morfics extreme fun edition. its blazing. i have used faux123's kernels before but switched to trinity because it clocks higher and is more stable in my experience. also i like morfics boot animation better.
also with trinity my battery readings can be funky. like i will have wifi hotspot running for 30+mins and still get the same battery reading. but even though the readings are odd in my experience i have gotten more juice out of trinity.

Try em both and decide for yourself. Kernels are easy enough to test. Trinity is working very well for me with CM Nightly. Havent tried Faux, no need to. Trinity is stable and that's what matters to me most. Your mileage may vary though. Check em both out for a few days, and see what works best for you.

thank you guys .. I will try trinity out...

Well, I personally prefer Faux, but on a side note, you're not gonna get that great of a battery life playing games on it.

well iv found that faux gives a slightly better batter life, about a day with heavy use but trinity is MUCH faster with about 4/5 of the day with heavy use

Did you undervolt Trinity as far as you could?
I liked both and eventually settled in with Trinity.

Eaglesblood + Faux = awesome!

I've had my phone for about 6 weeks now, using a CM7 -based rom (won't name names). The battery life was horrible, the phone was always warm to the touch, and it locked-up often. The SOD happened probably every other charge. I was intending to dump the phone for something else, but after reading many recommendations, I loaded the latest release of Eaglesblood and Faux kernel.
What a difference! My phone is always cool to the touch now. It hasn't locked-up, and no SOD (knock on wood). I'm coming up on a week now with zero problems. If I don't use the phone much, I can get 2 days or more on a charge (unthinkable before). Just wanted to pass along what working for me.

which eb
There is an ICS and an older version which one are you referring to?

Faux's kernels can be used for most roms, unless Faux123 said no to EB?

i think what he meant is eb is not optimized for tirinity kernel. (to be honest i am not sure which one specifically, i personally never used the ics eb, and i think the gb eb is still using faux by default?)

Trinity kernel is so old though... and yes, EB does use Faux by default. Or maybe I flash Faux on every rom so it seems like it is... hmmm... Either way, Faux's kernels are amazing.

Poll: Trinity vs Faux

Just gauging how many of you are still using Trinity kernel considering it hasn't been updated in months, while Faux is continually working on his kernel.
I've noticed freezing/overheating issues with Faux but I like that it's updated often enough.
Edit: By no means am I putting down Trinity kernel, just interested in the numbers

Trinity has been solid for a long time. My phone works much better with it. No need to update for the sake of updating.

Harsh is far better for.both of my g2x

On GB:
I prefer Trinity. It's been stable for some time and I can run my G2x for 35+ hours on moderate use. I've used Faux, but somehow I came back to Trinity.
On ICS:
I used Harsh when I was on ICS. But my experience in ICS generally has not been good (LG/NVidia not releasing drivers). So I came back to GB.

I prefer Faux

Trinity works better on my g2x. I think faux is a bit more aggressive, and my phone just acts better with the more conservative kernel.

On stock based 2.3.4 I like the stock kernel or Faux 014b2. On CM7 based I prefer TrinityELP for stability and batt life. I do find since Faux's 050 builds battery seems as good as ELP, and Faux has seemed to make scrolling super smooth. But Faux is still just a bit unstable on my phone. I am currently using the djvoleur adaptation of Harsh for CM7 roms. Its good too. I've had no probs with flashing between any of these kernels other than LED touch keys cannot be set to off when using Faux or Harsh.
I am a fan of all 3 - really...

Trinity ELP for GB
I tried everything out there and always go back to that. Fast, smooth, and good battery life. Plus it seems to be the only one that my phone's bluetooth can stay connected to my car's stereo. with other kernel (maybe coincidence), the two refuse to connect after a few connect/disconnect cycles.
also, many people say 24+ hr of moderate use. Is that with stock battery?
to me, moderate use = 3-4hr screen on time. 1hr phone call. wifi, BT, 4G, GPS always left on. 50% screen brightness. I typically get 12-18hr with trinity.
Heavy would be 5+hr screen on and more

Trinity gives me sleep of death, faux overheats and freezes I'm using the kernel that came with cm7 without any problems. Though I did get the SOD before I installed the build.prop tweaks

I've always been a big fan of morfic's Trinity ELP kernel (dated Feb. 6th, 2012). Unfortunately I don't see this kernel linked on his old site (just the ones dated in 2011).

faux all the way!!!!
