That's a question almost imposible to answer. It is very subjective, battery life depends on the use of the phone and the features you have activated. The brightness of the screen and so on. I have used CM7 and Absolution roms and both have great battery life. I am using CoreDroid wich is a sense rom and is also great. If you flash a rom you are recommended to use the radio that works better with that rom but it is not compulsory....just make sure that you give time (at least a week) for the Rom to settle....

Before this thread is closed.like the above member said its hard to say so many roms to use. I'm on wc wild child.Rom but its closed for now Damn good Rom and battery is good. Just depends lot of roms on here offere different kernels and radio / rils to help with battery and single just look into the threads of killersolth he has so.good uv scripts to help with battery his work is amazing. But also most roms have the right radio and ril to go with it. Just look around the threads

hi cyraxdoird. is wc wild child for the htc hd2? if so, i dont think its made for the inspire and its not android.
also, can you recommend a good kernel or script by killersloth that you tried or think is good on battery for the htc inspire?

each person has different experiences because they use their phones in different ways. Also each person's radio consumes different amounts because of the area they live in.You are asking for everyone's opinion which is all it is without legit testing data. This could eventually turn to a e-peen contest of 'whos best' so I would suggest try out some roms and find one that works for you. there are too many variables involved for there to even be a possible 'best rom for battery'. Rule of thumb, the less your phone does, the more battery it will conserve. So keep that in mind.

Agreed. As there is no best. Only what works best for each of us. A search would have shown this.

Roms geared towards battery life

Are there any custom roms that are made for battery life? Like for the best battery life.

Most SR ROMs were designed for good battery life. There is no answer to your question because everyone's usage is different, and "best" threads are frowned upon here anyway.
Download and try a few ROMs for yourself. Only way you'll get your answer.

Thank you for you honesty. I just thought maybe one was built just to get better battery life.

Andromadus vs. Jellytime vs. PACman vs. Pure CM10

Hello,
at the moment i am using Jellytime. For now i am happy with this, but i think the battery life could be just better. So which rom from above offers you the best battery lifetime?

im using pacman.. the battery life is good.. i can use the phone the whole day(surfing, internet, texting, music...).. i always plug my phone in before going to bed, and i still have around 10% left

Using Pacman v18.0 at the moment and the battery life is not very good. Its usually dead by evening.

Me too. Battery life is very short using Pacman v18.0, at most 5 hours. The screen is the process that consumes more battery. Maybe it is only a my problem, but with Fallout v.5 I didn't have this problem (but others :laugh.

Well I find the battery life good on pure CM10.
If it wasnt for the graphics glitches when browsing, it'd be a really good ROM!

I have installed Pacman v18.0 about 3 days ago and am very impressed with the ROM. No problem with battery life but one major problem with the phone randomly going into Sim Lock mode. Could be after 5 minutes, could be after 5 hours and sometimes while just using it.

PACman, way to go.

I'm using Andromadus CM10.1 and battery is good...Overall is good except Bluetooth that doesn't work yet...

Mine has about an hours worth of battery...
For now I'm switching to my sense rom

On the latest build (build 10) of Andromadus 10.1 I found that the bluetooth was fixed!
Overall, at this time, I believe that the 3 andromadus ROMs are by far the best Jellybean effords!

Thank GOD I got here...
Could someone help me with rom that includes these features?
1. The official ics look (nexus ics)
2. That includes all apps like the sensed ics got. (fM radio,voice recorder,youtube etc)
3. My wifi doesnt turn on when i use any custom rom It just says "Turning on wifi" for the whole day.
4. The settings tab normal (not the tablet type like pacman got)
....
Thanks

I'am trying different roms all the time... right now I'm using FullySamsung-1.0.1 since couple of days... battery life sucks on this rom...
I do not see the connection between battery life and "preferences and taste"...
From my experiences all JB roms for DS are draining battery very fast...

some people prefer to UV their kernels. Some people don't prefer. Some kernels allow UV, some don't. see it all comes down to preference,of course UV also may cause performance to decrease. so it stills come down to preference.

That still isn't answer for a question from first topic... "So which rom from above offers you the best battery lifetime?".
It's just general deviation about the opportunities offered by kernels...

Hmm, when ppl say try it yourself, it simply means that u would have to flash the rom to know what's best for u.
Everyone uses his/her phone differently, so basicly there is no ideal rom that pleases everyone.
Everyone will you give a different opinion in terms of battery/speed/etc. That's why it is a bit pointless in asking what's the "best rom" for the other person when the usage is different.
So no point having second doubt and just flash the phone, try every single rom, i have flash from sense to cm to ics and now back to gb.
Go ahead and experiment the roms for yourself. Today someone might give u a suggestion, the next day a another. that's why it is consider pointless in asking such question as 'which is the best can u recommend me' and much better to try it for yourself instead of being shortchange in case there is another better than that is being suggested.

TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST and TEST SOME MORE see what works best on your phone

You are asking a question, so this belongs in Q&A.
And there is no answer to this question. No single ROM is going to give battery life to all people. It depends on how you use your phone, as well as other factors (radio reception in your area). There are just too many variables to account for, that a truly objective comparison of battery life between ROMs is virtually impossible. Any claims of battery life are going to be anecdotal at best. You might find some trends. But even so, for every ROM that has people saying they have better battery life, you will find some people that get worse battery life.

In general stock based roms have excellent battery life compared to cyanogen and other custom roms. Ckeanrom or hafka for example has excellent battery life. I'm using rebel rom and the battery life is also excellent.

I have to agree with what people are saying here, there is no one rom which is " better " in battery life it mainly depends on the end user.

In my personal experience, Sense based ROMs always have better battery life.

Chosyst after
Im using viperXL on mine and love it!!

Viper XL 1.2.4. w/Beastmode Kernel 3.0 undervolted -50mv ~0.8%/hr drain overnight. Viper XL 2.0 + always was 1.5%/hr or higher, with Beastmode, undervolted 50mv as well. I have tried 2.0, 2.1, 2.4, and 3.1.0 (3.1.0 with stock kernel). All have above 1.5%/hr drain overnight.
Measured using BetterBatteryStats and MyBatteryDrain Analyzer.
All were with the same exact apps.

Best rom for the S6? (From a battery perspective)

Hi
What is the best rom from a battery perspective right now and how much will it increase battery life? Right now I get 3-4 hours on 4g and 5-7 hours on Wifi on stock, rooted with greenify. Will a lite rom help even more on battery? Also, which would you say is the best right now and why?
Thanks in advance

Questions like these(best rom bla bla) are not tolerated every rom here is a result of hardwork and efforts from devs which are all unique in their own ways, would suggest you to try and use what you like.

You won't notice a difference in battery life from Stock to custom, except maybe a decrease due to wake bugs maybe.
Your battery life is pretty good.
Rule of thumb, ROM's might allude to having better battery life than others, but they almost certainly do not.

Well no idea either. I asked what the best rom was from a BATTERY perspective. Some are for speed, others battery and some features.
I fully understand they're all hard work.

Uhmm... The community? Well as far as I see now there is no such issue's in the Galaxy S6 forums, I come from the Galaxy S2 community where any similar questions(literally anything that started with BEST ROM...) are flamed by other members and occasionally outright locked or removed by the moderator's.
I myself never had an issue with those kind off question though.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

The question is pretty much not answerable for a number of reasons.
People get different results due to how they use their phones and what software the load and run on the same ROM, and to answer your question someone would have had tried all the available roms for enough time to form an opinion.
Lastly, this is a general S6 forum so people here are using all kinds of different variants of the S6 making the comparison even less likey.
I have a stock rooted ROM and am quite pleased with the battery usage on it, YMMV.

Based on what? Reaching 8+ hours SOT? If no, then the answer for now is XtreStoLite.

In theory, the lightest ROM with the least amount of bloatware may extend your battery life. But in reality, phone usage is the main culprit of battery life. I have tried different ROMs with my old S3 trying to extend its battery life. But in the end my efforts are in vain as I put too much work for a very little gain of less than 30 mins. This also applies to the S6. Modifying usage (i.e. turning wifi/bluetooth when not in use, working with dimmer screen, etc...), buying extra battery or powerbanks and chargers for charging on the go and anywhere all did the trick of preventing phone usage interruption due to a drained battery.
