[Q] ARHD vs ViperS vs Elegancia (battery life) - HTC Sensation

I am okay with all 3 ROMs. But still not satisfied on what I get comparing battery life.
And I prefer battery life preserved from deep sleep.
In my previous device, I can configure it until the state in deep sleep for 6 hours it only consumes less than 4% battery + wifi on + GSM signal(no mobile network because wifi is on).
So I would like to have suggestions on how and what combination is the best.
The most hardcore game I play is NFS Most Wanted.
I personally prefer Sultan's kernel.
(still fuzzy about the OOM settings because android1-7 taught me a little on that, not sure which one is better)
I underclock my device to state badass sio MAX - 918 2P - 594 3P - 756. Min freq is 192. But when device is off it still consumes battery. Sigh. :crying:
I'm open to any suggestions here
If anyone can help me to explain what is PM_FAST and PM_MAX, it would be great too.
Cheers!

I think you should set the minimum freq set at 384 .

Elegancia
hiii :victory::victory::victory:
i have test the 3 roms and i am a heavy gamer too (Modern combat 4)
but the best best stable and batery life is Elegancia sense 3.6
one time i got 8hrs playing whit wifi moden combat 4 ( )
so i hope that my comment will be as experience (google traductor xd)

For me they are all very good ROMs from excellent developers. Battery life is the same for me. The thing that affects more battery is Kernel. I suggest you stick with bricked, cause it gives the best battery overall, especially on standby.

Fyretech rom with imoseyon kernel 1.92 dialed down to 1.792, setcpu, atk. Today is the first day running this combo phone has been on since 7am, moderate use (phone calls, texts, games, internet and youtube,) its 10pm now and i have 39% left on battery. I would have had to charge my phone at least once today when it was new out of the box.
EDIT: using 3g, 4g not available yet in central Jersey.
I'm using the bamf v4.3a kernel with the stock rom. i'm also using setcpu set for the 'ondemand' governor and a profile that underclocks the cpu to 245/245mhz when the screen is off.
BAMF 1.4 sense remix, with adrenaline (spelling? 4.4.2 kernel, dark horse theme, auto rotate Rosie (Saweeeet!) Optimal setcpu settings. Ie: charging profile (245 mhz min- 1.0ghz max/smartass) with this setting I normally get almost 1% battery charge increase a minute. screen off profile (700's mghz-1ghz/on demand. Screen on profile (1.1ghz-1.3ish ghz/smartass. etc... I know some stuff I mentioned doesn't really pertain to battery life, but this set up is just sick! Also, I read somewhere that its a good idea to let ur battery die completely, then turn phone on without charging (you may have to just a bit to get it back on) And let die again. This supposedly tells the phone where the dead zone is on the battery accurately, so it can now get a full clean battery charge. Myth? Idk, but damnit my battery is sick now! Hope this helps.

Personally, I've been testing Imoseyon [ROM] Tesla Coil Version 1.5, with Imoseyon [Kernel] leanKernel: minimal kernel "battsaver" .92 version. I am running it on "On Damand" with charging and screen off profiles, mobile data NOT on auto sync, Tasker for wireless ON at Home and audio OFF at nite.
Really, this seemed to have doubled my battery life. I was having to charge before the end of the work day with moderate use and now have been able to use well into the night.
Hope to see even more Rom/kernel concoctions out there as I love to try any new suggestions.
With adrenalines (I still don't memorize the spelling! Lol) 4.4.2 kernel it deff charges waaay faster as stated. Setcpu charging profile to lowest mghz min to around 1ghz max on smartass. Not demand, n it will bounce around to proper mghz levels as needed to speed up charging process. Its sweet n like you, I'm open for more suggestions

Adryn's debloat ROM and his kernel, with extremely light usage I pulled 38 hours (my previous record was 36). I have been using my phone for the bare minimum, so this is why I got so high. No, this is not real world usage and yes, I hated it, but it works. My normal battery life is somewhere closer to ~18 hours, except on Tuesday's and Thursday's, when I have lecture classes, I usually pull 9-10 hours, because I play games and browse the internet for 2 and a half hours.
Using imoseyon kernel 1.4 extreme(InteractiveX governor) with Tesla Coil 1.5. I have an extended battery, and with moderate use my phone can easily make it through one day into the next before needing to be charged.
Screen off and plugged in.. ;-)
I think it would be best to post in your stats whether or not you have 4g enabled as there are large populations of each way and it makes a significant difference.

What's the most noticeable of using with the extended battery? Extra cost, bulk or weight? Thanks.

True...4g always enabled for me other then when I get no 4g signal and then 3g may go into effect. If no signal at all, then wireless when I am indoors.
I refuse to turn off 4g as that is why I got the phone and my coverage is pretty good for 4g...so, better battery life is a must for me
leankernel v .6 @ 1.41 on demand with das bamf 1.4 remix and i disable data when not using it and right now im at 56% battery at 32 hours with moderate use
I'm using imoseyons extreme kernel on interactivex governer on stock. I'm getting 14hrs %40 battery with moderate usage. I'm mostly on wifi all day with a little of 3g use.

Huge *NOTE!*
Go to settings, menu, wireless networks, mobile networks and uncheck the third box. No need to have mobile data always on for most peeps . You'll still have 4G n everything, but gain a good 1-2 maybe more hrs (depending on use, kernels, governor settings, and I/O scheduling. I personally am running BAMF 1.6.2 with adryns 4.4.7 kernel, no set CPU, using tool box for that at 245mhz min - 1.02max with ondemand governor and most importantly SIO Scheduler. Try these n you will have amazing performance and better battery life. Let me know you opinions

I use Insert Coin 5.1.1, "Rom Cleaned" with LBE security. With heavy usage (2h music, 1h calls, 1h internet + screen) I can get minimum 14 hours. Same battery on GB stock rom 4h.
When I have fully charged battery on Friday afternoon, during the weekend (only have few phone calls, a little bit wifi) I plug it in at work on Monday with 15-20% left.
I have stock battery.

i have IC 5.1.4 and the battery life his horrible when im using my phone, but during school i underclock to 1.02ghz max turn power saver on and data off and itll last... also have stock battery with 1.5ghz kernel
With ARHD 6.5.1, Sebastian's kernel and 1900 mA anker battery I can do 3 days of light usage, 2 of mid ones and of course 1 of heavy.
ARHD works for about 1.5 days moderate use and 3.5 days on minimal use.
i've never liked a custom kernel, it always eats up my battery faster than stock (based from my experience) even undervolting doesn't make it last longer.

ARHD 6.5.1 battery life is very good.
I am now outlasting my partners iPhone 3GS with heavier use!
I can go a full day and still have 40-50% remaining.
Also there is no need to overclock. I use no frills cpu set to 192 min and 972 max. Very smooth and fast.

I don't understand how you guys are getting such excellent battery life on a Sense rom because I only get those numbers when I'm on Senseless. I guess I just have to try harder
Not sure.
All I can suggest is that you:
Make sure you are on correct radio/RIL
Super wipe
Reflash ROM
Use no-frills cpu and underclock to 972 max 192 min
Disable always on mobile data
Enjoy your phone
I have brightness set to auto. I have unlimited data so rarely use wifi.
Still on 100% from unplugging at 6:30 this morning.

I have very limited data allowance [it's 50MB PAYG for what it's worth, like 1.50 in GBP] and I don't go out much so I just use WiFi at school and home. Radio is on 3.32 although I'm not sure about my RIL. And also I always enjoy my phone. Always
EDIT: RIL is HTC-RIL 4.0.0013HMQ. I always use Kohr-ah's stuff so I'm pretty sure that this was included it the 3.32FW i got from the thread.

There you have it!
You have your CPU set to a minimum of 648 mhz so it will never go any slower than 648 mhz.
I have mine set to the lowest (192 mhz) so that when it's not needed the CPU can run as low as 192 mhz.

Well I already have a profile for screen off. 192-486MHz. Should I still lower it?
I hadn't seen a ROM on my phone that lasts more than 12 hours for moderate to heavy use. I wonder how everyone else is getting 1-2 days of battery life (happy for them, sad for me).
I don't install any other app apart from the stock ones available with the Rom, plus the XDA app. Can someone please share the secret?
Thanks!

[Q] Battery saver kernel for Sensation

Hi!
Ok, i'm not good in writing especially in english so here we go
From all kernel that has been released lately, which one do you recommend for having the best battery life in term of standby??
My opinion is Sebastian's kernel in ARHD 6.5.1
it gave me mostly 2 hours for 1%
but i have new problem now cause i flash ARHD 6.5.3 and then restore boot from 6.5.1 NAND back up and now my wifi gave me error
(but this is my problem, not yours )
Come on guys, give me your opinion
I'm currently running Hyper NonSense with the default kernel - I think it's Faux that's cooked into the ROM but unsure of this. Between the ROM and the kernel, I'm getting the best battery life I've seen with this phone. Easily have 30-50% left at the end of the day with moderate use; haven't actually benchmarked it more carefully than that.
Any update on this? My sensation doesn't even last a day...
Best kernels right now are Faux kernel
Sebastian FM
Bricked kernel
I myself have found that bricked uses the less battery, but try them yourself and decide which suits your needs.
I'm using Faux right now with HyperNonSense and I would say it's a good balance between battery saving and performance. One thing to keep in mind is that the higher you OC the more juice it'll drain. So far I've always capped my CPU to 1.24Mhz and I've never had an issue with performance. During light use I can get more than 30 hours in a full charge. If it's a moderate use, I'm still able to touch 24 hours. Oh yeah I'm using Anker 1900mAh.

[Q] Battery Life?

Which radio are you gents getting good performance with decent battery life? I'm kicking around T989UVMC6 and it seems to be more power hungry but perhaps its just my area. I don't think this is very good battery life as I've barley used my phone today. I'm considering buying the battery for the nexus as it has a little more capacity and I've read it fits but I'm waiting on confirmation.
Anyways..I'm testing slimbean 3.1.0 build 3 with the T989UVMC6. I'm thinking of trying the LV kernel, what governor and I/O scheduler are providing good results for you guys?
And this battery: EB-L1D7IVZ

Is this the one your referring to? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025488&highlight=bluelightning+x2
You running the standard JB one and not the GPU OC one? You seem to be playing with all the roms and kernels to..how would you compare it to LV kernel. Also, what radio are you using? Does it seem like my cell standby time is high in that screen shot? I have only made two phone calls and had the screen on a few times for a few minutes today. The phone was at 100% at the start of the morning and has been very idle so i'm surprised to see it so drained.

On page 5 on that thread is the link for X2. Flash X2 then the GPU OC Zip.. Using UVMC Radio. Haven't flashed LZ in a while so i don't know.
I'm using BlueLightning with Conservative and SIO, minimum frequency is 348 max is 1188. It's not the best combinauon if you prefer performance, I get about 18 or 19 hours of battery life I'm also using the same radio as you BTW .

[Q] How long does your battery last?

Why is it that my battery drains super fast without doing anything just a simple text conversation and a couple of minutes playing candy crush? My brightness is set to low (almost lowest). Is it my battery too old?
I discharged 59% in 2 hours and 35 mns.
I suppose you have just flashed a ROM!
ROM info please.
In alpha9 with zram enabled you can set the max cpu to 600 without loose performance and that extend a lot the battery life. Just a suggestion
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
How do you do that? By the way, i flashed operation killjoy and i set my freq. there as 300-1000 ghz thru terminal emulator. How to do this zram? are you sure that i will lose 400 mhz and performace will not be affected?
For enable zram: Settings/performance/memory management/ enable zram 18%. I always flash killjoy too but dont use cputuner only entro_on. You can enable zram in CM or Remics7.1 and yes you can lower 400 mhz without loose performance, just try and you'll feel by yourself.
Obiously for some tasks like play heavy games is better to set the max mhz but for the rest 600 is more than enough.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I think it is the rom eating up the battery. Clean flash the rom again or flash a new one Use root uninstaller to remove unwanted apps. Use a battery saver utility.

It is posible to be the ROM that drain your battery so fast , not long time ago the battery drain was a problem for me to because i use to play games..a lot! ,after i flashed all custom ROM's and tested them,i found one that for our device i think it is smooth ,fast ,good for gaming and so so battery friendly .For example just now After 1h of CSR Racing, 45 mins of Asphalt 8 Adrenaline and 30 mins of Most Wanted ,30 mins of calls and some wifi ,i still have 15% and i have 1d2h28 min on battery..This without any tweak ,display set on auto.
