ROM for best battery life?

I'm going outta country and will have limited access to a charger. I'm not gonna use any data, wifi, etc. Probably just movies, music and some apps.
Anyone have suggestions for best battery life?

I get good battery life on Android 4.0
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App

Its average for me, looking for a stable ROM also. Ics is a little buggy still, need something very lightweight.

i Think MIUI and Oxygen are very good for Battery ;-)

It seems that most people seem to tout MIUI as the trimmed-down, fast, good battery life ROM. (Never tried it myself as I like all of my extra features )

I don't know if it was just me but I had miui for months and the battery life was just a little better than ics roms. Is there any rom that stands out in term of battery life. If not,I'll just keep ics.

I am a battery saving natzi.
Using the Oxygen ROM with GlaDOS or Franco kernel with deepidle on and google talk without video installed (to make deepidle work right).
Ive also had great success with oICS V40 (now on 41 seems same) with the Matrix 12.5v Kernel and SmartAssv2 @ 1000/200. I have not been able to get deepidle to cooperate but it still get good batt life.

I'm using
Nexus Beam with
Glados 2.1 CFS Kernel
which, utilising deep idle, gets quite some battery lifetime

Oxygen + Matrix get good batt life!

Definitive best kernel/rom combo for battery? NS4g

I use my ns4g pretty heavily so I need a rom and kernel optimized for battery life. I'm looking for 3+ hours screen on time, something the ics roms/kernels I've had havent quite delivered. i dont wanna downgrade to gb, but I'd like to find a good combo of battery life and stability...

try this ics kernel, http://goo.gl/QAuKi its Trinity TEUV(TEI6S). its undervolted, underclocked at 880mhz, and its bus/gpu is overclocked 10% at 220mhz. its fast and great on battery. i use it with cm9, but it should be good with any ics rom

You don't even know lol ive tried and tested that decent battery but I can't live without the mods... solid performance tho

With all the mods, they r all good as well (icup speedy, matr1x, sg-uv etc.). The new franco.kernel is released and it runs very nice. It doesn't have mods yet but the battery life and performance are super. Also like simms said, the barebones trinity kernels are the best in battery life.
I'm running NexusBeam with franco's latest and I got like 25 hours of battery after average use.

TEUV All the way for battery performance

Matr1x v15.0 is out, has all the features and is undervolted.
I get 20-25 hours out of battery with around 4-5 hours screen on time.

Do you think using running CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS with Matr1x 14.5CFS, i could get decent battery life? i'm asking cuz i want to install ROM on Gf's phone, she still running CM7 from when i did last time, but i don't want to put a rom that lacks features. i want one feature rich that will not suck on battery life

I can't get over 2 hours screen on time MAX at all anymore. I'm running Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast GB with GlaDOS 1.12 kernel undervolted to 880 MHz and 20% screen brightness. Even with a new Battery and a full wipe and clean install I still get terrible battery life. Anybody have any ideas? I'm dying here. Is my phone broken?

Which rom is best for battery life?

Hi I am new to this section and might be a potential Sensation owner just wondering which rom is best for battery life and performance?
No doubt I see Android Revolution got over 50K + replies, guess thats the one?
Also what is the battery life average for the Sensation? I am just using for internet, talk, text etc...

Sure, on HBOOT 1.27.1100 and VI 3.0.0, tried Quattro but a sleeper ROM ATM, waiting for source code.
I was on HBOOT 1.23.0000 with CM7 and VI x.x.x
I like the battery life of VI on my setup, seems snappy for my usage, battery is better than GB ROM (don't know if that's firmware or GB/ICS driven).
As always with these things YMMV, then again I'm more of an AOSP than Sense person.

Generally, ICS has better battery life than GB. So far, I have tried only 2 ICS roms - ARHD and InsertCoin and InsertCoin is better for me, but now I have it overclocked to 1.5 and it is much worse than staying at 1.2 if we talk only about battery life.
As for the battery life...well, dont expect much. Everyday 1-2 hours of listening to music, 6-7 hours of wifi (chatting, browsing, etc) and lets say 1-3 hours of gaming and by the evening I am down to 5 percent. You can always buy an Anker 1900 mAh battery, which is better according to other XDA members.

How worse would you say ARHD from InsertCoin would be? I plan to keep at 1.2 because it is already fast. That is if I can get the Sensation today for no more than $350!

At first it's a simple rule. What works for me, might not work for you You should try a kernel's and radio's combinations, remember about a RIL matching to radio You choose and give it some time to settle it On GB ROM version best for my battery life was Brick kernels

The best for me now is Virtuous Inquisition-v3.5.0
Quiet good in battery life... My phone on stanby(when im sleep) for 10hours++ and only drop for 1%
Really happy with Virtuous roms

Tried many many ROM's
HyperNonSense had the far best battery life time on my Sensation XE. It was superior to Virtuous. ;-)

Have you tried lowering the cpu and putting it on conservative, that helps me out regardless of rom usually. Using Darkforest now and it hasn't really affected the stock battery life, 6 hours of constant use, more than a full day if I stop fiddling

[Q] Best ics battery life rom/kernel?.

Hi, ive been searching trough isc roms and kernels trying to find one with a good battery life, but there isnt, they all talk about customizations, power, performance but not about battery life. I flashed CM9 with its own kernel and its nice, but it got crashed some times when i was websurffing and the battery life gets like 13hrs of standby and 3 hrs of usage (wifi, network, display), so i went back to GB stock. im not sure if its an isc problem or just becuase of CM. Well id like to know if there´s an ICS rom or kernel that gives me atleast 24hrs of standby and a good stability.
And what about the CM9 crashes?, its isc´s bugs?
Im wating for a JB release, as it seems to be bettter than ICS. Thanks for reading , and sorry for this questions, is just that xda is the best place to find information as im a newbie in android c:

try the hefe kernal or one of the newer ones posted by team Fahq. Might help with stability.
Then flash the battery mod posted by itzik2sh. That made a very noticeable difference for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985073
I was running ultragen with hefe kernel+itzik2sh's battery mod and was getting very very good battery life and the phone was stable.

Also changing the governor to SmartAssV2 can result in great battery life, even if my phone is clocked to 1.2 or 1.4 GHz.
But if you do not understand overclocking, do not try it, I read a couple articles before I actually OC'ed my phone.
If you want performance and battery life pertaining to kernel, you can try Hefe or Lightning Zap.
Other than that, you can try tweaks around OUR forums and see the results. You can also install Pimp My Rom to install tweaks.

, dont worry about overclock, i know all the risks and even CM9 from team acid gives you that option. But just let me know man, what is a governor?, never heard about that, and how much time you got of battery with that?

This thing called google brought me to a link to explain governors, so I thought I was paste it for you, even though in the time to type in your question you could googled it yourself.

As to say how much battery life? Doing what? On standby? With the screen on full brightness playing GTA? Connected to data all the time?
There is no answer to that, because everyone uses the phone differently. Obviously if I say I get 2 days out of my phone and someone else gets 2 hours, maybe I only sent 15 txt messages and they watched HD Youtube off data for 2 hours while their GPS was on.

Wifi and GPS use a lot of battery when always leave on. Turn it off when u don't need it. Hefe kernel seems to help with the battery drainage issue.

Dont get mad man. About the search, ive done that, but here i can find a better and smaller answer. And about the battery,as you suere read in my first post upside i was saying in standby and a light use, and how much it lasted for me (a very short timefor a new battery). Anyways, thanks for the link .
And thanks mike y, Ill try out your combination.

I'm currently on UltraGen with Hefe-KOD kernel. Great battery life with good performance. Attached screen shots is with lite usage. Came from AOKP Milestone 6 latest build. Great battery life as well. Will probably go back to AOKP in a few days.

That battery life is because he doesn't use his phone.

Ive noticed of that, but even when I was on CM9 i got only 15 hrs on standby, either way, what thing really provides that battery life?, Ultragen or Hefe kernel?
