Hi, my Triumph should be arriving in the mail in just a few days and i was wondering which is the best kernel or ROM and Kernel combination that is best for battery life? I've heard that battery life on the Triumph is not so good. Maybe it's false but i would still like to know.

I would go with CM7
That's what i was planning on. Does your Triumph give you battery problems?

The battery life is a lot better now with the latest builds of CM7 and MIUI.
I just use CM7 and leave wifi and bluetooth off, no juice defender or anything like that and I can easily go all day with no charge, typically about a day and a half and my battery is getting low but it really depends on what you are doing like games, wifi, videos and whatnot.
Before I think there was a problem with the battery draining while in idle but things have cleared up since then, There are also third party kernels you can OC and everything, but you can use them to undervolt as well to save some battery if you know what you are doing. over on androidforums there is a lot more chatter about this phone, just so you know.

Thanks. I got my phone today and im loving it so far. Do you know which of those third party kernels are good for battery life and that i can install over stock? I'm not quite ready to install a ROM yet but i already did the HTC Thunderbolt Build.prop tweak and obviously im rooted.
It's usually not the kernel but whatever governor you have it set to use. Even the stock can get improved performance if you switch the governor to such--”performance”--but I'm probably not the guy to tell you about which one is best.
I also have the silly feeling a lot of misconceptions abound here...in the form of ”I changed this setting and now my device lasts longer..., oh btw I no longer play with it 24/7.” In other words, use drastically impacts battery performance. JuiceDefender is an amazing tool but it won't do you a bit of good if you're testing out your phone's Adobe Flash capabilities regularly.

The Savagezen and interactive (not sure if interactive is on any of the kernels for this phone.) gov isn't that great. At least not in my experience. I had SmartassV2 on my girlfriends phone and it got ~3600 on Antutu benchmark at 1.5 and when I used Savage at 1.5 she got ~1700. The interactive gov made my friends Dinc2 noticably slower. Just switching home screens it lagged to the point it was hard to get into the app to change the gov.
CM7 + TheOC kernel allows adjusting voltage & overclock or underclock. You really should flash a CM7 ROM. Having it just rooted can be dangerous because you're not using a custom recovery to make a backup image, and if something messes up, you don't have a backup ROM to restore. Going to a different ROM forces you to make a backup, then there's a backup to restore if you mess things up.
Governors just tell the CPU how fast to ramp up to a certain frequency, & how long to stay there. It's hard to balance fast ramp up (less lag), and low battery drain (spend more time in the lower frequencies). I like interactive/x, find that smartassv2 spends too much time in the mid frequencies (~500) even for light work. Using the app CPU Spy helps a lot to see what's going on. Also it tells you whether your phone is sleeping properly when screen is off, which is a big factor for battery drain.
So I recently downloaded SetCPU for my HTC Vivid and I was playing around with it. I was wondering what you guys think about using it for battery savings? Any specific profiles you guys use that work great? I'm trying to prolong the battery life of my device. Flashing a new ROM has helped a lot, but I want to squeeze as much as I can out of it. Is SetCPU really worth using for battery savings or will the extra processing it does to change around the speed cause it to not help me that much?
I wonder which is the best sense kernel for S3. Now, I am using luxandroid v4 and my phone is heating very much and the battery drains quickly. So, which is the best for a balanced consume and performance?

I think the best one is Bulletproof.. not complicated, adds some functions, good battery life...
I just donno if it's good for S3, I use a S4
since i use my galaxy s6 for basic stuff , browser viber whatsapp , ebay , amazon , no games at all , can someone help me to undervolt and underclock my phone sisnce i dont need all his power , i like to to it to gain extra batterylife ,
i use arter kernel 8.2 and v11_exposed rom ....
i miss my old experia z3 with 8SOT and 2 days battery life
I get pretty good battery life on mine. Undervolt and underclock is the same thing. I don't understand why u would want to do this to a great phone. Buy a Nokia 3210 you should get loads of battery life and fast enough for you
My stand by time is easily 2 days just using basic things. I do like to use my phone so I do get 1 day which is good enough for me.
Check the wakelocks that should help way more the undervolting

Not the same thing at all! Undervolting is more sensitive and gives better results although very risky!

Ya I understand! I don't see the point in undervolting unless you have heat issues which would make it more stable. I know u can extend your battery life a small bit but its not like u well get days out of your battery by undervolting and underclocking.
The best thing is kill the apps that keeping your phone awake. That would save more battery but at the end of the day you will still be plugging your phone in to charger.
What they need to do is improve battery's
Agree, let your cpu/gpu handle its tasks. For others, maybe they preferred on doing this undervolting stuff etc.
Others wanted to freeze wakelocks, alarms, services just to lower battery usage.
I find it funny LoL *kidding I would not bother buying S6 at the first place if thats how you usually use a phone. But it is your choice
You could opt for units with larger battery capacity but with good SOTs and reviews.
Hello everyone
i was wondering whether installing a safestrap rom i mean would some basic rom increase the speed of the phone allowing for underclocking the cpu for more life out of the battery
also less apps and processes
im running android 4.4 stock rom and the battery life is really really terrible
i wish you guys can help me with what im trying to achieve and i hope it is possible
if u guys have any tricks or ways to make the battery last longer tell me
