The drain from the AndroidSystem is usually normal for an OS to do that especially for running for 7h or more, but if your really worried about it different kernels can be customized to lower it depending on governors and I/O's

Please post pics of screen on and battery usage screen

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

Battery life depends on ROMs and your usage habits.
If you can get five hours of on screen time your doing something right.

Battery Life test Results

I was pretty pleased with my results here, so I thought I'd share. This is done with both OC and UV and making use of the the 3500mah batt and with moderate/normal use.
I can get that on stock battery, you must play some games and leave your phone on full brightness at all times or something.

No, I play one game in particular, and I spend more time on the web on my phone than most people do on their computer. I could get that on a stock battery too, if I never actually used my phone Before the the changes I made, I was getting significantly less life. Especially with OC.
It looks like the moment you turn your screen on your battery life plummets.

Thats from Oc'ing to 1560 lol
It's more useful to post test results on a standard battery and standard voltages and clock speeds so others can compare. I've gotten 3 days on stock CM7 nightly before, it really depends on how much one uses their phone. The biggest clue to how a ROM or kernel affects battery is to look at the idle drain (maybe with data off too). It should be flat or with < 0.5%/hr drain.
Where'd you get the 3500 Mah battery you are using? I've been trying to find a decent maker for one.

Are you using Sweep2Wake?

How much battery does sweep2wake use? Is it worth it to enable it or does it just totally kill the battery? Is it possible to also screw up the screen with it too?

I tried the TouchControl app. Even if this kind of features is cool the battery drain was too important imo. I don't remember the exact percent but it was important enough to uninstall this app.
I didn't try yet the built-in feature from custom kernels though.
Finally there's no risk for your screen.

Is this normal? (pics inside)

Android OS is using up a big chunk of battery life. Attached are six screenshots. What are your thoughts?

That's similar to what my phone reports, and has for a long time now, except my Android OS numbers are higher.
So, yep, it's normal.
Anybody else want to post screenshots of their battery life to compare?

Mine is pretty similar. Most of my use today has been Words With Friends or Boom Beach.

Best App to disable CPU Cores

hello all
I am trying to find an app that will let me disable the cores that I don't want to use. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Tutorial would be great

Sorry can you please elaborate?
Just use kernel adiutor to disable any of the 4 big cores, or little ones.

You would disable 2 big on battery and leave 4 big only while charging. The little cores can all be left on, or maybe leave 3. I haven't noticed a difference between 4 and 2 little cores for battery or temp.
