Seems like my battery dies very fast on my Skyrocket and cant seem to get the right tweaks. I was wondering if someone could tell me what ROM and kernel they are using that has great battery life.

Although your intentions aren't meant to be a best of thread it is... no one can really judge a ROM Based on YOUR use...
So you need to try it out on your own and check battery help thread it will help a lot...
So far on my usage embryo and dirty unicorns work good for me but I have Gnex battery
like I said u gotta find out on your own
SkyRocket Dirty Unicorns V1.2 TapaTalk Combo
I have a stock battery and have used every ROM available and I can say that all of them can perform very well if you know what you're doing.

What's "very fast"? You can get a significant drain in a few hours if your using it intensely.

I can close my phone and come back an hr later and its down 10%.....it should not drain that fast. I have a nexus and never does that.

i've had my 727 for about a year now with multiple flashes. if in deep sleep, battery life is VERY good, i'm talking 2-4% attrition an hour tops. but under usage, 15 minutes will drop me 7-10% depending on what i'm doing. does anyone have this same issue?

I get 1% an hour deep sleep, sometimes less, but I don't background sync so...
also my best was 1 day 5 hours with over 3 hours screen on time on LTE only

Sounds about right for me then. There is definitely some battery capacity loss as it drains a bit faster than a year ago.
i leave LTE on at all times, brightness between low and auto, and my total screen time will be around 1.5-2 hours max.

the only way to get above 2 hours onscreen time is to heavily under volt, -75mV or above if u can. if you aren't already, you're missing out. Battery gains for no performance loss.

thanks for the reply Icenight89. i've never done this before, just played with governor settings under performance.
do you recommend setcpu or voltage control?

I just wanted to say that I installed TFQ Lightning zap kernel on top of vincoms SUPERLITE, and used his recommended underclock / undervolt / governor / io settings. I will report back in a few days once I've had a few runs with this setting.
super lite is a good, stable ROM, no bells and whistles, only what u need for a dd. lightning kernel is stable, and I recommend either voltage control or incredicontrol.

Im using Mohans latest Embryo 6.1 and tried both of the voltage controls you referred to and incdredicontrol gave me messages that stated there was a conflict with the kernel. I Installed voltage control but it appears the minimum I can set it is 192 mhz which is the same settings in the performance tweeks portion of the rom. I read earlier that it could be taken as low as 75. Any idea what I might be overlooking.

Hey everyone, I'm attaching my JuiceDefender profile which you can restore. In order for this to work you need the following:
JuiceDefender ultimate
A kernel that has OC capabilities
Root
On order to restore the file into JuiceDefender, extract the zip file into /sdcard/Download and then open JuiceDefender ultimate and hit restore.
Make sure that you backup your existing backup incase your phone doesn't like my backup. Hopefully this works as I haven't tried it across phones.
Share your results below, I have had pretty good results with this profile, lasts me quite a bit of time.
I'd like to note that prior to installing JuiceDefender, I had globally undervolted by 100mV. This is recommend for everyone who wants to go a bit beyond. Also, I encourage you to share your profiles if you feel they will help others.
What were your battery stats? Mine was at 1.9x batter saved and fluctuated between 1.8-2.1x depending on when my last charge was
After a days work: Off charger at ~9am, texting the GF, Facebook, random calls, moderate internet use, ect... I was still 50% battery
*edit* also running DJ-ICS overclocked at 1.72ghz

Moderate/high... I described it in detail on my other battery thread but realistically, I only aim to make my phone last until I reach home so sometimes I just abuse the battery for the hell of it.

Juice Defender Ultimate has done wonders for me as well. I have pretty heavy usage from day-to-day so it has really come in handy. I'm running Sky ICS speed 7.4 with Faux 0.0.9u kernal. I attached a few screenshots:
I've been off charger since 4:30 pm yesterday (currently 8AM here)
These are my stats
As you can see I'm sitting at just over 71%, and that is with pretty heavy usage from about 5-11pm, and then sleep from 11-5 and then again with the usage.

Can anyone look at these screenshots and advise me on how I can get better performance from my battery? I just flashed SkyICS (latest version) hoping to get better performance from my battery, but it doesn't seem to help. This is with what I would consider medium to heavy usage. I used my phone most of the day to browse the web and check facebook.
Any ideas?

Looks like the screen has been on for at least 4 hours. All you can really do is underclock it and freeze all the stuff you don't use.
Guess I will research how to underclock.... any good starting points?

I prefer no frills cpu. It will report the wrong settings when the toast pops up, but if you check cpu spy you will see it's working
Here's a couple basic and obvious tips and you might already know this, but no one has mentioned it yet in this thread so...
Turn wifi off when there are no wifi networks to join, but I've heard not to let it sleep when you are wifi connected.
Leave bluetooth and gps off when not using it. I don't let allow any of google's location services to run in the background myself. Not sure how well that helps the battery though.
Some people say leaving off autobrightness turned off will help battery life and some say leaving it turned on is better for battery performance. I'm not sure who is right but you might try it both ways and see if one is better for you.
I've tried most of those things and they don't seem to help.
I'm in an area with lte but coverage is spotty at work. Could that be what is mainly killing the battery?

There is no normal, everyone has different setups, different apps, and different lifestyles. If you're saying the screen has been on for 41 minutes, that seems ok.

I find that when I have my phone unplugged for like 3-4 hours it drains very quickly once I start using it. For example I'll unplug at like 7 or 8 and go back to sleep, wake up 3 hours later or something. When I start to use my phone it seems to drain a lot quicker. Is this normal for you guys?

Does it drain much during that 3 hour interval? You could try using an app like CPU Sleeper or SetCPU that allows you to turn off a core when the screen is off.
I love the battery life on Synergy 1.3! I haven't flashed to 1.4 yet, kinda liking where my set-up is right now. I'll probably wait until there's a few of the kinks worked out yet.
But yeah, I charge my phone overnight too...It usually comes off the charger about 8am, and at midnight I still have 50-60%, depending on how my day went...Some days, I only have to charge every other...
Looks like you're using about 12-13mA while idling, I am assuming you had mobile network and wifi off? I'm typically at around 24mA with wifi idling

Nope. Data and wifi on although I have sleep set to never when plugged in. I don't think I have anything set to auto update besides push mail though so it probably slept all night with me
This is standard battery as well. I just added the lean kernel and I am getting even better battery life. This is with mild screen time and 2 hours of pandora. You can see in the screen shot that it was only really awake when I had the pandora running.
Crazy battery life.....anyone have comparisons between this and 1.4? Would be interesting to see if the claims by some is true about the additional drain.....

It's lack of apps honestly. I have nothing auto syncing. I'll sync it when I get in the app. Also using better battery stats showed me an app that was wake locking. The lean kernel and battery saver script I'm sure are helping. No need for an extended battery on this baby.

im on the official latest radio.. and i havent made a phone call today.. out of no where it started acting like this.. did a battery pull even so maybe we will see what tomorrow brings..
whenever i see something taking up an irregular amount of battery i just reboot and it usaully fixes it
Whats your current ROM/kernal combination? I have the same battery; CleanRom RLS6 and Hyperdrive RLS9 I was getting around a day and half.
Pretty sure I figured it out. Seems like it was from the kernel I was using.. The Zeus kernel. Did a few battery pulls and it was still acting up. I was getting 12+ hours screen on time with the battery before I switch from lean kernel to the Zeus kernel. Back to lean and I'm at 2 hours screen on time and battery is at 90 percent. So I think I'm good now.

Your best bet is a kernel that supports conservative that way you can get around easily. Lowering your max frequency also helps, add the fact that the software has to be properly optimized, if you're using the Samsung firmware with its useless bulkware that might be a cause. Roll with something like aokp or aosp who knows how it's supposed to be handled.
