LONGEST LASTING BATTERY stable ROM/kernel

Hi. I am using stock ics. Getting 1.5days of battery with light usage of data(2g). However. Is there a rom that can push it, to a full 2 days? I'm irritated having to charge my phone in the middle of the day. also I would prefer a stable rom only.

you can put a custom kernel that can extend your battery life. i recommend glados for ics.

Are there any problems with it ?

about GlaDos
if you have S-amuled you will have a greenish screen when waking the device
(that can be fixed with some voodoo configuration editing)
other then that i personally think this is the best available kernel for ICS right now.
it has Deep Idle so you will probably see some improvement of battery life

i have 9023, lcd version.. should i flash Nexus beam with it?

Battery life depends on ROMs and your usage habits.

If you can get five hours of on screen time your doing something right.

What's the best ROM for super-long battery life?

I'm currently running Clean ROM 4.5 and only get about 14 hours per a full charge. Please share your thoughts!

King cobra seems to give me the best battery life followed by Nocternals ROM. Both are very close to each other from what I can tell.
I used to get good battery life with Wild Child's WCX Illuminati ROMs but he closed his site to non-americans so I don't know how his ROMs are doing.

Imho its based on how the phone is used each phone looks the same but in side they barely slightly different

King cobra gives me the best battery life but I won't get any more than 12 hours when I use it a fair bit.

I've relatively new to this, bit I've seen people get upwards to 24 hours and am wondering how they pulled it off. I get a max of 14 hours with this one X.

I got 1 day and 17 hours with auto brightness and auto sync on. I used the 6.4.AOKP ICS Rom. Oh and some pretty good screen on time.

AOSP roms get the best battery life in my opinion.

Actually Xs. I have gotten better battery life with your ROMs compared to either Cm10 and Aokp. Now that we have the source for 4.0.4 and if they get those wake locks fixed that might change but I think your ROMs are a little easier on the battery currently.

I just started running cm10 today but I'm not sure yet, in the past aosp has always been my choice but sense 4.1 has really improved

It is quite possible that your "rapid" battery drain is caused by one of the apps you have installed, as opposed to the ROM you are using. I'd highly recommend installing an app like Better Battery Stats and use those numbers to find the worst offenders.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Wakelocks
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/tune-your-androids-battery-life-with-betterbatterystats/

Its wake locks from the aosp ROMs themselves. Its a known issue and I am sure it will be worked out. They are only in the beta stages so its not a surprise.

I've been getting "decent" battery life on the stock rom. At night I use an app called ScreenDim set at 29.8% brightness, the rest of the time I use auto-brightness.

Hmm I'm currently at 43% and battery stats show 20 hrs use.
For battery life nothing beats King Cobra.
Watch the dev thread today, Turge has a little something special today. And man it's going to be popular.

Is this even possible? I've seen pictures of 24 hours or so, and that's at what I'm aiming for. Would you happen to have a link for a ROM that provides this type of battery life? Is 3 days not even real?

[Q] Beanstalk and CM 10.1 Battery Life

Does anyone know the difference between beanstalk and CM 10.1's jelly bean battery life?? Because i just got beanstalk yesterday and it's been draining my battery pretty quick so I'm thinking about switching back to CM 10.1 to see if there are any differences in the battery life..

I don't think there are any differences to be honest.
Beanstalk is based on CM10.1 with some extra features.
But I still recommend to try as many as different ROMs possible because it might be ROM but it also could be your old battery.
My battery is new and it is still bad. So I can see if it's older and worn out battery, must be really bad.
By the way, ice cream sandwich and jellybean have worse battery life than gingerbread.

I get better battery life on JB than I ever got on GB. And I'm still on my original battery.
I replied to your other post though with an app that could help. And by the way. After daily driving both cm10.1 and beanstalk, the battery life difference is not noticeable.

How many hours of battery life are you getting on current Unofficial CM10.1 ? I flashed it last night and charged it to 100% and it has drained to 18% in 14hrs.

let me know if you notice a difference in the 2 roms

I left Carbon because of the sizing differences between 260 and 190 DPI, and the home key did not work, although the battery seemed amazing even though it was just after a flash. I didn't have much of a chance to test as I had 38% battery. Ill try Beanstalk now, right after I clear some space

Well Beanstalk is not dying as quick as Slim Bean and CM 10 cause i left it on charge all night while listening to music and it stayed at 100% for atleast 10 mins or longer but i'm gonna continue to do that till thursday

I get better battery when I turn off Google Location Access.

Which ROM is better in battery life CM10.1 or Beanstalk ? I have been using 10.1 from past 1 week but battery life is terrible.On 100% full charge i got around 18hrs wid limited internet access and phone calls nd brightness set to minimum.

[Best Battery ROM]

Guys i am on my holidays and i play a lot of ingress currently i am on CM10.1 RC2, my battery is draining like anything so can any one suggest me a ROM that has a good battery and also a proper kernel which will go on with it. I dont mind downgrading but i need a ROM which has best GPS and also the best battery backup. I tried every ROM here and i get nearly 5 hours of battery that is all.

Smartass2/deadline 1000/100 mhz (only about an hour on 3g)
I was out today, and had screen at max brightness using gps for directions, playing solitaire and using 3g for FB, email ect... I only got 6 hrs battery with 3.5 hrs screen time.. I really didn't think that lowering the brightness helped that much, as I usually don't have it at full, but there is a huge difference.. Over 50% drop in battery life..

A simple rom with rich dark kernel
If u want the best battery from your phone consider trying Rasbeanjelly ROM with matr1x kernel.This ROM and kernel has always given me the best battery life though this ROM is not as highly customizable as aokp, paranoid android etc.

RC2 isn't that old (eaven if they pussed RC4 now), SO I'm guessing you dont have it installed for a long time, stay with it a couple of days and let the sistem calibrate the battery properly, after a fiew charging cicles it will be fine...if that doesent work try bb6 with marmite or helly 4.1.2 with Devil kernel updated

I've been frustrated with the battery, as I use this phone as my daily.. I recently bought a 3800 mah battery and get about 7 hours of screen time with moderate to heavy use.. I'm a bit more reassured now

Is that the extended battery?
The one that makes the phone fat?

Yea! Exactly that one.. But I don't notice it too much to be honest.. My thumb does most of my phone work.. And sometimes I used to be stuck phone-less, so for me the weight is a small price to pay

I too play Ingress, if you're getting about 5 hours of play time you're doing very good. Most people that I play with get 2 hours max as Ingress is a client heavy app. Remember that playing Ingress is like streaming a movie to your phone and running GPS. The data/Wi-Fi and GPS use a lot of power as they are always on with your screen. I have found that if I tether my phone to another device and just use Wi-Fi for data I get about another 30 min of play time, or if I just use the phone as a hot-spot I will get about 4 hours of play on my N7 with out recharging.

Battery drain

Hi guys
I'm on RemICS v3.0 based on 4.2.1 CM alpha 3. From a little my battery goes to death in just 12 hours! I installed both Better Battery Stats and Gsam battery monitor! I noticed just some wakelocks during the night but I noticed (with Gsam) that Media process is draining a lot of battery! I think (took a look on the web) it is a notorius problem! Can someone help me to figure it out! Thank you!

Maybe ur battery's life had gone & should go for new one.
To check, once take out ur battery & spin it on flat surface, if it spins then it's swollen & that means battery has to be changed.

One year and a half is the age of mine when it started behaving like you describe.
Mine never got to last more than 18 hours, even when the battery was good and with a stock rom. All of a sudden I had to start hoping to get to my office before my battery died. And I live 1 hour away from my office!
Believe me and those who suggest changing the battery. A honest 1900 mAh battery is rather cheap on ebay, and can bring you that reassuring feeling of having power enough at least for a whole day!
