[Q] Battery life ROM

I've run Cyanogen ROMS, Senseay, InsertCoin, and ARHD. I'm a pretty heavy user I would say, I get up at 6:00 in the morning, and my battery is usually dead by the afternoon if I don't charge it. To me the roms all seem the same as far as battery life is concerned. Anybody have input as to what roms have given you great battery life, any apps you have that help or what you do it improve battery life?
Thanks

Buy another battery? Im a heavy user and i get about 8/9 hrs. Lasts all day with moderate usage.

I've read a little somewhere about other batteries people buy for the sensation. Any ideas as to what those batteries are?

try miui! perfect battery life!

With light to moderate use on the newest ARHD ICS 5.0.2, I am still sitting on 55% battery life.. and i've been off the charger for 27 hours now using the anker 1900mAh battery. Make sure you match recommended radio's and rils.

Its the banker 1900 math battery. Its really good. My battery usually lasts between 12-21 hours.. i love it

Anker, Mugen, and Chichitec are the companies to buy from.
You can also buy an EVO 3D battery cause it's the same physical size but it's 1730mAH.

I tried many many different ROMS and so far none come close to MIUI / bricked kernel 1.6 combo. i get 2 days of medium/heavy use easy.

Any numbers on the drainage while on standby? May flash a miui rom soon if battery is really that good.

Mind telling me which MIUM ROM version you're running? I've never run MIUI and from what I see there is only one am I right? Most recent version is 1.12.23. If I run that with kernal 1.6 I should have great battery life? I'm not doubting you I'm actually really interested to try this, just want to make sure I get the same configuration as you have to see if I can get similar results. Thanks for the reply.
Also I have the normal sensation 4G not the XE, I noticed the bricked kernel V1.6 says XE, is that problematic with my phone or should I use V1.5?

I must say that ICS4.0 gave me much metter batt.life! im using ARHD 4.0.2 and using stock battery. batterylife is now better then stock ROM (android 2.3.4)
really think you should give it a try. (new firmware will give it even better i think, havent tried)

Try to wipe battery stats.

I tried most of the Rom Energy is the best for sense Rom. For no sense use miui but make sure do not install any launcher use the launcher come with miui.
If u r keen on sense Rom then make sure you have minimum widget running on home screen they r battery draining, try juice defender from market. Turn off auto update. Live wall paper will drain more battery as well.

I always update to the latest MIUI, currently on 1.12.23 yes. I have normal Sensation 4G and running Bricked_XE-Kernel-AOSP v1.6 on it. Works flawlessly!

Running on a day and a half of battery life and only down to 30% w/ an Anker 1900.
I tried to get into ARHD
Really, I tried. But...
HTC Sense.. just ... ugh. I'm disgusted with it.

I've used ARHD before ICS and after, in my opinion, it's the most stable.
But I'm currently running OrDroid with Sense 4, I think Sense 4 is way better than 3.6.

I'm running Ordroid v.1.8.7 (sense 4) and I'm loving it ! using a power saving kernel too, called Anthrax!

Ya I'm running arhd

It's a great combination of speed and stability. Android Revolution has proven the most stable in my uses.

using ARHD 6.6.0 currently, have been using ARHD versions mostly since getting my sensation last June. have tried cyanogen mod 7.1 as well as a couple of others without sticking with them for long.
this virtous inquisition doesnt have the phone unlock issue on receiving a call anymore right? been thinking of going for a closest to vanilla ICS experience for a bit.

Another ARHD user here
For me its the most stable. I can get 2 days battery too !
i love the modded stock look so for me its a winner.

Virtuous Inquisition >> I like it senseless. Battery life is decent on moderate use, yet to try a different kernel to see if I can squeeze more.
ARHD is solid. very stable and good battery life.
Ofcourse battery life depends on how you use. I have not been lucky with battery since me HD2 days, but adjusting the brightness helps as stater.

[Q] sensation battery

Hi I'm new to sensation dev and I have a quick question I'm use sense 4.0 Rom with faux123 kernel I was just askingif there is a battery mod or something to help save battery?
Oh yeah the Rom is ordroid 8.6.5 4.0.3
Sent from my Sensation 4G

I think there is but I'm not sure of link but wanted to ask are you still stock battery? It helps a lot if you upgrade to a longer lasting battery say like Anker. I use Anker and its made a huge difference in my battery life. Also after flashing rom, make sure battery is at 100% then plug into charger, go into recovery, wipe battery stats, then unplug. This helps a lot. Also make sure things like sync is turned off for things you don't need, stop non needed running applications in the background, turn off blinking notifications , turn off feedback vibration ect, make sure backlight is minimum brightness, doing these things with a better battery will really help you! You will be surprised how much more time you get with Anker battery. I wish you the best! Hope you get the better battery because is really made a difference !
ps I'm running Ordroid 8.6.5 also

[Q] What is the best rom,kernel, or mod for excellent battery life?

I'm running EnergyROM right now, and honestly I'm not really impressed with the battery life. Looking for something that I can actually see improvement or better battery life.
Thanks :cyclops:

I really like the battery life on Cm9 and on trickdroid... give them a shot
I loved energy at first on my amaze 4g but he started tweaking it so the standby doesn't use hardly any battery... and ever since I wasn't a fan of his rom over on that phone... haven't tried it on the one s yet.. prolly won't

I'm using TrickDroid 6.1 with Virtuous Kernel. Been averaging 22-26 hours with simple usage.

I'm using trickdroid v5.1 (eu not t-mob) and it's performing good, if you like the stock sense look try it

CM9 and AOKP by far have had better battery life than any of the Sense roms.

Do not agree, AOSP ROMs are still full of bugs, so the devs could not concentrate on performance so much.
But if the bugs are solved I am sure sou can get a good battery life with them as well.
Without making my ROM good, trickdroid with virtuous kernel v06 is brilliant

I've used both AOSP and sense based roms (Trickdroid, Energy, etc.) and really haven't noticed too much of a difference in battery life using stock the kernel. AOSP roms are quicker than the Sense-based roms, however with Sense removed... it's just as quick.
If you throw a custom kernel on the sense-based roms, they easily win out. As Torxx said, AOSP roms are still in alpha and the devs are still working on getting a stable release. Once they get the bugs worked out... I'm sure the AOSP roms will again be just as good, if not better.

Thanks guys for your suggestions.
I'm looking more for Roms with nearly everything working so, aosp and cm are a no go for me right now.
I suppose I'll give the trickdroid with the virtuous kernel a shot.
As for miui, I will also but I'm not a BIG fan of miui.
The sense stock sense is working for me though.
I just don't like the "no exteneded power button menu" on trickdroid like EnergyROM has. I like to take screenshots just by holding the power button and pressing it.

Was going to say the same. the latest CM9 build i tried was actually quite good.. but the camera and all the little bugs (nothing too major, just annoyances really) are what drive me back to a sense base.... The camera on any AOSP based rom is DISMAL compared to what we get with sense. Even the picture quality is not the same. I honestly couldn't BELIEVE how much a difference the software made!!
I have tried all the Sense roms and every update that comes out, well... cause i have a problem, BUT i can say, that at least for me (in the US on Tmobile) the TrickDroid rom is hands down the best IMO. I can actually clock my cpu DOWN and it still flies, i get RIDICULOUS battery life (day and a half with moderate use).
I would say give that a shot OP but DEFINITELY flash the tweaks package!!! Pretty awesome options in there!!

First I was on trickdroid and yes I had a better battery life than stock! But I like to test roms so now I'm on Paranoid Android based on CM9 and the battery life is good to me (2 days with a "normal use" but that means nothing) and the tablet mode is amazing!

Hypernonsense gives good battery life. Especially kristofpetho`s old gingerbread based version 1.8
Lower CPU speed, fewer apps running in the background, battery saver app (juice defender) etc is what gives good battery life!
Any sense-based ROM should have good battery life (MIUI excepted in my case)
CM9/ CM10 all have inferior battery life, but you can make it not bad, especially with tasker

You can always try to mix some very good ROM to take just what you want from each one. I did that and now I charge my battery only every 3 days

I have ViperS but still get under 3h screen on time and its a bit sluggish. Had ARHD too which got the same battery time but is very fast and responsive. Like the Sense 4 on the ViperS better. Maybe you can send the -100mv script. I'd try it too. Crying for a ~4h screen on time myself.

I know what you mean about it being sluggish, I kind of miss the smoothness of aokp. I think I will use this until jelly bean aokp is more stable.
