Gold standard current draw on one x/xl

Folks,
On my desire running oxygen I worked out my standard current draw objective, 6-10mA in standby with about 40mA playing mp3s. All readings with battery monitor widget.
With the one XL it seems to pull about 40-50mA in standby and about 60mA when playing mp3s on stock with apex launcher.
Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on their best battery use in standby with either a stock or custom ROM.
Cheers.

I used to wonder the same thing. I've found Viper to be the best for standby time. I'm in class from 8:15 to 4:10 and only lose 9% battery on average during that time. Keep in mind, this is very light usage.

Tanner,
Mate that sounds pretty good. Do you have any idea on the mA draw when you've got it in standby over that period?
I probably won't match your idle time, but it'd be a good benchmark.
Forgot to ask if you're sitting on 4G for that time.

Best thing I have ever realized. Undervolting. Right now with viper and beast mode kernel (Supporting Undervolting) I am able to make it through the whole day as a extremely heavy user at full brightness.

Yeah undervolting is the way to go. Who needs full clock speed at idle.
Is the beast mode kernel the only undervolt supporting kernel?

(Q) What would it take for slimics

I was on the galaxy s2/3 forums and I found alot of slim and basic roms, aka slimics and slimbean. I'm very interested in getting a Rom that could potentially be 60mb, or maybe 70mb due to our qHd display. What would it take to begin porting or building one from source?

But it's amazing how these guys on the galaxy series and even the hox have managed to get roms so small.

I understand how bloated sense is, and every single rom I'm talking about is aosp based.

Nothing? Nobody has any experience with this stuff?

Take a look at the hypernonsense threads. They are pretty small. That was 1 of the main goals of the original dev to get those Rom fingerprints as small ad possible.

And most of that size reduction is just stripping out apps so the user can add only what he or she wants to to.
Hyper NonSense also stripped out Rosie and all most Sense UI framework, essentially leaving it as a defacto AOSP rom (even though it was still Sense at it's core) That removed a good amount of size, but the bulk of the small size was that it came with just the bare essentialls for it to boot. If you wanted SMS, you had to add the SMS app you wanted. Etc etc etc
That said, it worked great. I loved that ROM for several months.

Check codename Lungo. I have not tried it but probably is what you are looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930403.

codename Lungo does look pretty good. ill have to try it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2

Hi,
I use Codename Lungo since very recently. I like it so far. I enjoy the fact that you can chose your own apps via packages.
Any other light ROMS? I'm mainly looking for battery life and not too much gimmik.

Best ROM
The best and lightest rom I ever used and belive me i tried them all it's hypernonsense.It keeps the good sense camera , it's light, I ususaly have 300 MB RAM free, the battery life it's the best.I usualy get 2 days with 3,6-4 hrs of sceen time.
My settings are :2G only , minimum brightness , data disabled, wifi off when phone is sleeping , autosync every 30 min.
I liked albino's and bruce ROM too but there are still bug's , and MHL isn't working.
Worst ROM's for performance and battery were Sense 4.x ROM's but i liked the interface and customizations.
Sense 3.6 are a little lighter but still eat the battery and slow the phone.
Hypernonsense just flyes and has all the features.

Best battery life opinion

I know its standard to protocol to answer these type of questions with read and flash em and decide which is best. Problem is that its not for me, its for my girlfriend who is not very tech savey to say the least. She is complaining of battery life so I was wondering if there was a rom that was/is perfectly stable with good battery life. Performance isn't an issue as neither is eye candy or tweaks. She is pretty much out of the box type of person. She left ios because of the bigger screen and other functions ios doesnt have, but for the most part she is typical iphone user. I just want her to get better battery life.

HTC one x you press the capacitive button to the right of home then you swipe up on the app to quit it.Now If you want to permanately remove bloatware/other processes, you have to root the phone ...although juice defender ult is a great app..the one x battery is great for me..even when I was on stock..maybe turn off fastboot( in power settings) turn off all the sound, Screen brightness low, touch settings(vibrate when keys touched..etc).check push notifications manually.. believe me android is more productive in battery life then IOS. Hope I helped. A thanks would be appreciated

Try paranoid android 2.54 with stock kernel, gives me the most battery on screen usage with 4-5 hours and 14 hours standby.
I also have screen brightness set to auto and auto sync for gmail, whatsapp, and twitter. I switched from cleanrom 5 and I'm loving this one.
I have tried most ROMs including cm10, kingkang ROM, etc

Would you say aosp Roms are more battery. Efficient than sense?

Also for each Rom do we have to also flash the kernal seperately using the all in one tool kit by hasoon?

CleanROM has the best battery life for me. It's also extremely stable.

You need a rooted sense ROM. Debloated. Root it so you can flash a kernel that has some has undervolt applied like elemental 2.0.

Yeah sense ROMs for me were okay for battery but the PA 2.54 has actually proven to be better for me at least. Try them all and see what works best for reliability and such, I spent 3-4 weeks discovering what I liked most

Cleanrom with 2.40 or 2.41 radio/ril and beastmode kernel.
CM, AOSP, and other non sense roms seem to be having battery issues. Random steep drops in battery level.

I think the kernel is what allows the better battery life, not too sure though.

From what I've seen on the dev forums, it seems like the majority of people have not had a lot of luck with battery life while using CM10 (just my perception, though. I'm on CleanRom). I definitely think a good kernel will go a long way (especially if you underclock things), but the ROM will play a part if a lot of software has to be running all the time to support ROM features.

Kernal has more to do with battery life hence the reason people are not getting amazing battery life on aosp roms for our phone right now. Kernal is still a WIP. I am hoping we see jelly bean sense roms soon, might give the best of both worlds.

Hey guys, I've recently bought a AT&T HTC One X. This is my first smartphone, and it is fully stocked, locked bootloader and no root, android 4.0.4 and software version 2.20.502.7, really like the phone. However, I am not really impressed with the battery life. I would usually charge it over night for around 8 hours, take it off in the morning at around 08:00, take it to school, casually check facebook/gmail, maybe watch one or two videos and by the time I get home at around 15:30, the battery would be at around 15%. I was wondering whether this is normal and if there is any point of my rooting the device and flashing any custom roms?
I have disabled all the AT&T bloatware, decreased my screen brightness to around 25%, no live wallpapers, disabled auto syncing, wifi and mobile data mobile switched on only when I use it, only have a weather/clock widget and a couple of games. So I have been researching about rooting and customer roms for about a month now, and found out that some members have amazing battery life times with Cleanroms and custom kernels, so I was wondering whether the latest 5.1 Cleanrom with a Beastmode kernel 4.4 would cause any damage to my phone and whether any of you guys are using it?
Thanks for your time!

Spam? I am new to this which means I don't necessary know how the whole system works, therefore I am trying to find the best answer I can. Sorry to see that's bothering some people.

Irritate the ones that have to go through these threads an your Chances diminish greatly.
Tis a sad day when being new allows for this spamming in ones mind.

Welcome to the forum. It's the right section. Those stats aren't bad. Tuning for battery is always fun. I've got some pretty good records in my signature.

When i browse only without talking i get close to 7 hours too on a charge. Yours Htc battery looks great.

Hahaha I barely can get 10 hours with minimal usage i.e little screen time. Its because I use Carbon ROM but cannot flash custom kernel because of screen bug

Sorry about that..
Previously a was using Viper Xl 3.2.7 with stock kernel and i could easly get 5+ screen on time on 3g.. ( idont have LTE )
Those screenshots are from Hatka 4.7.1 sense 5 elements rom with Elemental 6.4 kernel with 1.5 Ghz, zram 900mv, stock Gpu, It has phenomenal standby time.. that is why i switched from Viper Xl. My battery was droping fast while standby on Viper Xl. Did anyone notice the same thing?

Battery Saver App

Hi, All with my brand new, rooted, unlocked bootloader, and new kernel, HTC ONE S CS (S3) I've noticed poor battery performance.
So is there any app that could help? Of course they are many, but actually is one of them work good on HTC ONE S? Thanks.

There isn't really an app that can save you battery. It depends on what ROM your on. You should around and see which works best

I'm using battery guru. Just started using it so I'm not really sure how well its working. I have found that the kernel can really affect battery life, try flashing to another kernel and give it a couple of days to see if its better.
