[REQUEST] Rom with optimized battery life.

So I have seen a few roms released in the last week, but I keep thinking to myself "When will there be a rom that's targeted to optimize battery?" If one of the awesome devs could come up with something that does just this that would be amazing.
TIA.

HOW?!?! I get a max of 12 to 13 on heavy usage.

If anyone does do this, I find that I get great battery life now after trying the CDMA/GSM fix (cant find the link).
Might wanna be something to look into for future ROMs. (From what I remember, the glitch shows the phone as looking for GSM networks while it's connected to a CDMA network. I followed the instructions to correct this and it's had a positive impact on my battery life. Getting near double the life now).

You guys are on 3G aren't you? I don't even get 2 hours on 4G with medium heavy usage.

Waiting to see if it makes a difference, though.

8-14 on moderate use to heavy is all you are going to be getting. I doubt you'll see a rom aimed only at battery life. Find a rom with sense removed (there are a few of them) or asop and further remove junk you don't use especially the social network **** and enjoy.

Are you referring to this thread?

You really don't even need an app from the market like the guy suggests in that thread. If you just dial *#*#INFO#*#*, then go to Phone Information, then scroll down to 'Set preferred network type' and select CDMA auto (prl) from the list.

what software is that use to show the CPU and Battery usage.
Thanks

Actually that CDMA/GSM fix, can it be applied through a rom? I'm pretty sure that's a built in phone setting where you have to dial through the keypad. Regardless, think of it this way. Processors and memory run off of voltage. The more it's in use the more power it will take. Now undervolting and underclocking the CPU is an obvious fix but also the memkiller settings. The more memory that is in use the more power is being taken up. This is why AOSP has better battery life than Sense under the same circumstances. With a more aggressive memkiller you can further increase battery life. I am going to build aggressive settings in my next release of my rom but for custom settings you can always get Autokill from the Market, assuming your phone is rooted of course.

I'm getting FANTASTIC battery life on the latest Fresh ROM.

Has setcpu been updated with native evo support, or are people still rocking N1 settings?

You get OC Widget by searching "overclock widget" in the Market. However, I don't see the need for it since the EVO automatically scales the CPU clock, and we can't overclock.

I guess i should have tried spelling out overclock instead of OC (DUH).. lol, and i have heard that, and have no doubt that it is true, but some people are claiming it has given them some improvement in battery life... Maybe its just a placebo effect, but i am gonna run a few tests and see what i can come up with....
I read a post on another forum from a guy that sounded like he REALLY knew what he was talking about and said the same thing you did but with some pretty big words and tech talk to back it up. But hey.. its free, and i like trying new stuff... even if its so i can see it for myself that it doesnt do anything.

Am I the only one that realizes overclock widget and setcpu don't work on our phones? I have tried both on 3 different ROMs and checked through a adb shell the cpu usage while the phone was asleep and neither one works no matter what I set the programs to.

Awesome, I've officially made it >24 hours on a single charge! (Though I did plug it into my laptop for 3 minutes to transfer some stuff)
Started the monitor with a little less than 90%, and now I'm at 8%

Custom ROM / Kernel with the best battery life

Post your personal opinion here for all to see.
Sent from my XDA Optimized HTC Inspire 4G

With cm7 and the amc chip fix implemented I have achieved 2 days on a single charge. A few MMS, plenty of internet browsing(switching from edge to 3g only when i use the internet), at least 400 text messages, a few calls, and about 2 hours of accumulated music playback.
Brightness was at 50%, and wifi was always on.

cm7 10 characters

I installed CoreDroid 4 w\ Sense and Gingerbread last night... kinda loving it a lot right now. It's revamped UI for MMS without the stupida#$ slideshow is soooooo much better. That slideshow really annoyed the hell out of me!

I just got my Inspire yesterday an ms I'm loving it. Although rooting was not as easy as rooting my Evo or Atrix, I was able to get it rooted.
I'm currently running the Rooted Stock ROM and I'm getting great battery life. I haven't flashed any custom kernels either, just the one that came with the rom. Normally about this time on my evo, the battery is almost dead. But not this Inspire...this phone is a beast! I made a couple of calls, sent numerous text and been checking FB every now and then. All I want the phone to do is last at least the 8 hours that I'm at work. Anything after that would be fantastic.

I have run both Revolutions, CoreDroid, CM7, buzz sense, leeDroid, and Dilli.
Before i say my favorite and why, I want to express that i might not have had the right rom/kernel/radio combo on some of my installs, so this is by no means a dig on ANY of them just my inexperience.
My favoirte by far is leeDroid. It has had the best balance for my phone on Battary, UI, speed, and sound.
On some of the GB roms I had some lag, especially after unlocking. On Dilli i had an extreme battary drain. I did like CoreDroid also. I have yet to try an MIUI rom as i enjoy the leedorid so much. I have never had a rom on my phone for this long.
I am actually suprised i haven't seen more activity on his thread, nor mention of his rom in the forum sticky!
Anyway, Thanks to all the chefs in the kitchen!! I have enjoyed all your roms and will be trying them all again!

"switching from edge to 3g" Do tell! Can this be done on a stock rooted rom or only on cm7? Thx

I was originally using the RCMixHD as well, but then i decided to switch it up to CoreDroid V5.1. I must say that i'm loving the custom ROMs, and must again give a shout out to the awesome teams that put these things together. I don't think i could ever go back to stock, especially now that i have Gingerbread!
That being said, my battery life has been inconsistent at best, and insanely pathetic at other times. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly is the major cause of my woes. I know when i first flash the ROMs, the battery life is amazing, losing maybe 1% an hour over night. But after i configure it, install all the apps and what not, i lose on average of 3-4% an hour, in airplane mode & with NO use at all. When i actually use it, it jumps up by a factor of 3x.
So basically, i still need to find the battery sweet spot by getting rid of the apps/settings that kill my battery. I'm open to suggestions!

Use CURRENT WIDGET (app store) to find and kill the apps that drain your battery!!

Any tips for saving battery in bad signal area?

I know this is normal but it seems like its the worst with my thunderbolt. If I'm in a bad signal area, my battery just tanks. Worst then any other smartphone I've ever had. I'm running CM7, but I'm pretty sure it did the same when I was stock. I know I could technically go into airplane mode but I don't want to do that. Does turning off data help at all? I don't have any sync turned on so I don't think anything is trying to connect that can't but I'm not sure. Any hints or suggestions?

when I'm home I constantly have X cause I'm in my basement. I just have the Toggle switch set to 3g since 4g isn't available.
Go into this and whats your biggest drain? (i keep display at 50% 100% of the time)

Well IMHO, one of your biggest issues is that you're using CM7 in the first place. I know plenty of people have great battery life with it etc. etc., but I'm with you on this one. I work in a restaurant 14 hours a day with horrible cell phone reception cause the building is just all concrete. My phone just diesssss, but when I check into my battery life, its all ass backwards.
Take scoobarSTI's picture, and look at your battery info. You'll see that Display for you is probably taking up 5% of your battery life. 5 F-ING percent. While android system, cell standby, and cell idle take up an estimated combined 70% or so. It's just something with CM7 i guess. Hes using a sense based rom. For right now, CM7 clearly still has is quirks, but for great battery life with bad reception, CM7 just ain't gonna cut it.
I did help myself just a teeny bit, and that was by setting profiles in SetCPU. It gave me maybe an hour extra a day to my battery life.

try this app and see if it helps. Your phone may be searching for signal but I know finding 4g signal kills its quick.

automatically connect to wifi "if" the place you are at has it.
get extended battery
try another rom
thats about all i can suggest. good luck!

All that app does is do the same thing as hitting #*#*4636*#*# on your dial pad. Take you to a "testing" menu and hit "Phone Information". On sense roms, you'll have "CDMA Auto/LTE" (or something like that) selected under "Set Preferred network type". On the AOSP roms, we have it selected as "Unknown". If you switch out of "Unknown", i'm pretty sure, you can't reselect it, which means no 4g. We have the equivalent to this in our network setting menu.
I just never found much of a difference in toggling between 3g and 4g in AOSP anyhows

Not positive why, but Slayher used to tweet that it could bork your data to the point you would have to reflash the rom

Well today I went with just toggling data off and it seemed to have helped with my battery life. Not sure if I just got lucky and had a good day at work or what. It happens every once in awhile but hopefully that works for now on.

Switch your phone to CDMA auto (PRL) to disable the LTE radio at least, otherwise all you can really do is put it in airplane mode. IMO signal loss is the number one problem with battery life on the TB, especially if you don't have a 4g signal.
Depending on the rom you're using, there may be a shortcut in settings, otherwise dial *#*#4636#*#* to get to the radio options.

[Q] Better battery life with 4.2.2??

i've been reading reports of users with N4's getting upwards of 50% increased battery life with the latest stock 4.2.2 update... found multiple people reporting the same thing on the N7 as well... i wonder what was in that update and i wonder if anyone that was using a 4.2.1 ROM that's now on 4.2.2 can share their experience on any increases or decreases they've noticed...
I'm currently running BB7, which is a 4.2.1 based ROM... was thinking of trying another ROM but obviously want to go to a 4.2.2 ROM with theme chooser to find out... just want some feedback before i make the jump...

i flashed a test build for BB8 earlier today... charged up and so far with sync on (usually kills my battery) and 4G/gps on as well and i dropped about 5% in just about 1.5hrs... that seems pretty good for me so far... i usually have to turn off sync and all data services to stay at a steady % for a while... hopefully when i turn thos things off, it won't barely drop... oh and that's with like 10mins of screen so far lol... just a few texts and screenshots to upload some images for my new theme!

This was on the first discharge cycle after flashing the new 4.2.2 Greenblue AOSP. I think it is going to get even better!

i'm extremely lucky if i can get 3hrs of screen time... i usually would get around 2-2.5hrs of screen... i also usually have 4G turned on... that 7hrs is not normal and def looks like an extended battery... no way thats stock... if so, what are your exact settings?
btw, my 2 days on 4.2.2 so far have been about the same as with 4.2.1 as far as battery goes... maybe a slight increase in idle time when i have everything turned off (not airplane just data/wifi/gps/sync/etc turned off)... still too early to tell for sure tho!

LOL. You can make JFK'ish conspiracies if you want to.
I just posted a screenshot of what i saw on my screen a few hours ago.
2g-only mode + minimum brightness + nfc-off, gps-off, data-off, wifi-off afaik

So basically you don't use the device other than to take screenshots of your screen on time...

that cant be true...i used that combination many times and the most screen time i got was 4h30. i have seen some guys reach 5h and something but 7h and still 26% is just ridiculous. did you restore a nandroid backup that had screen on time recorded or something?
the only way i could consider that is if you put the cpu max @100mhz and left the phone with the screen on for those 7 hours without touching it lol

The best I've ever gotten was 5:20 hours of screen on time with a few 4+ hours of screen on time. I can only do it if I have WiFi & great signal like 3 or 4 bars & the ROM has to be CM10 stable which gives me best battery I've ever gotten I've said this in a few threads already. I can't believe 7+ hours of screen on time with stock 1500mah battery in the Nexus S!

i'm doing a test now to see how much screen on time i can get from my battery... i started it late... but we'll see what happens lol...
basically my phone is just sitting wthi the screen on and all other signals turned off...

Most I get is probably like an hour screen on

Odp: [Q] Better battery life with 4.2.2??

This test is not relevant. Screen on without any phone activity is not equal to using the phone from time to time.

LG G Flex 2 Runs Better with Battery Saver On....

I was curious about this phone's overheating/lag problems, so I thought I'd try turning on Battery Saver. It seems to be much smoother now. Still not quite perfect, but it's a step forward; at least for me. Now if only I could do something about those dreadful orange bars...
Can anyone else corroborate with my results? I've also read online about an update - v10h - that "transforms" the phone into a lagless beast. Anyone received that update yet? Here's a link to the source: http://www.digitaltrends.com/cell-phone-reviews/lg-g-flex2-review/

I have the V10c-226-01 update, and the phone is ok.

Will test the battery saver but it seems weird that it's impact performance in a positive way. It should limit it not the other way around.

That's strange how'd he get that update? A lot of people have received 10e just recently which is 2 updates away from that one. I'm still on 10c.

hey, guys, don't have the phone at the moment, but had anyone tried undervolting and underclocking?
The main reason i think, it should help, is because android ran perfectly smooth on my old HTC One X, with S4 Pro, quad-core @ 1500Mhz.
Afaik, we need a custom kernel to modify voltage, but underclocking may be the option for those, who suffers from overheating.

The phone is undercloked by default to 1500Mhz.

4 of my cores are running 1555.

I think the reason it runs better with Battery Saver is because it prevents it from overheating in the first place. Even with Battery Saver limiting the CPU to power sipping levels, it is still a fairly powerful CPU, certainly enough to run the OS. I'll run an Antutu Benchmark with it on vs off.

Okay, I ran the benchmarks. The results are very surprising! The score with Battery Saver on is 10000 points higher than with it off. Both results are after a clean boot and both were done with the device cool. Although, a benchmark I did 2 days ago with no Battery Saver had a score of 43000. That may have been because I had fewer apps installed.

I did the same tests. 1st one without battery saver on, 2nd with it on. I got similar results, but not as severe. Both were on a fresh boot. However the 2nd test was shortly after the first, so it might have been a little warm.
Test one :
Test two:
I guess we need to figure out what the battery saver is doing and make a permanent tweak.

it's limiting the top frequency of the processor, and maybe sets the governor to conservative, i guess.
You can turn it on, and check cpu frequency in sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
(path may vary, it's from my Moto X, but i think, they're common)
Then turn it off, to see, if it changes.

I found something else interesting. I looked into the CPU info in Antutu, and, with Battery Saver off, the CPU max frequency was at 1.5ghz, but with BS on, it was 1.9ghz

That's interesting. I'm wondering if the benchmarks were updated to work with our processor.

BS seems to have no effect on my phone.
Why are your cold scores so low?

I've been running my G flex 2 with two A57 cores disabled. In typically averaging about 6 hours of screen on time. Just general use; YouTube, Facebook, looking up LG G4 reviews, texting, other social networking apps. Just wanted to say disabling cores has really worked out for me so far... I also accidentally deleted LGs stock UI, so I've been using nova

How did you disable the cores? Is there custom kernel for this phone?
