i like sense 4+ wayyy better with the exception of all the BLUE its ****ing ugly because theres some green here and there and then there's some blue here and there.. it's a unpolished product that doesn't look all that great...
AS FAR AS PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT BATTERY LIFE that's insane when i hear that I average about 18 hours of moderate use, 8-10 of heavyish use 4-5 of constant non stop use.
idk nothing about no choppy graphics either..

18h is low... Ive used my device average (lots of wifi/browsing, remote controlling PC etc) on this charge, 1d 11h 45min as I type this.. The battery is at 58%...

Of course not on sense. DarkJelly CM10 build 24 with stock CM kernel, no OC or UC.
I remember I got around 28-32h worth of batterylife on ViperS 1.2.1 (ICS) with zarboz kernel though. Still with no OC/UC.
Oh, and I dont run any of those crappy "battery saver" apps. I just make sure to kill tasks on a regular basis.

I'm running Liquid Smooth with the Bubba Kernel and my phone is lightning fast, no choppy graphics either. I too can't understand the complaints about battery life when there are so many things you can do to reduce the battery drain. I've played music for about 7 hours some talk time and web browsing and having the screen on for most of the day and and my battery was at 70% over 11 hours or so

nice

That's Nice... I just Made The Switch to TrickDroid 9.1.. I was About To go with viper until I read all the issues people are having..
TrickDroid Always Seems to please. its the only rom I ever used..(well the only one that's actually stable) and I do believe its better then ICS..
QS Benchmark gave me 6870!!!! Compared To ICS .. I was getting 5100!
Gave it a Full Charge__ now Lets see how The battery Treats ME,

insane..

That's Insane.. I couldn't ever get over 12 to 14 hours of use when I was on ICS..
Lets See how JB treats me.
and also.. are the non sense based roms better??? I actually like the sense widgets and all..

Sense has OK battery life but if my data is always on its worst .
I tried jb for a day but I had to go back to sense because of the camera, keyboard, and the auto data on off for mms
But I do love the dialer for ics and fullscreen id

Search for the best battery saving OS

Hi ,
currently I'm running CodenameAndroid 3.3.0 on my Nexus S and everything runs smooth and works perfectly well for me, no doubts. But somehow I constantly get the feeling that the newer our operating system gets our batteries drain faster. Either this or my battery just gets old. However I'm searching for a Rom that has battery saving in main purpose. I dont care about playing games, the operating system or showing off how great my phone is. For this I have my Tablet The best solution for me would be a rom which is very low in batterydrain but as smooth as jellybean (maybe just port the transitions over). I know it might be hard to find something like this but is there any rom which matches my perception? Also a nice look would be cool, too ^^
I'm waiting for your responses!
I think you're looking for SlimBean. I'm on CNA too, the batter life is pretty bad
I tried SlimBean because I used SlimICS before but I miss too many features to change it back. Isn't there something else? Or which OS has the best batterylife in general?
i think gingerbread still has the best battery life.
androxide got me over 4hrs of screen time and a days usage with matrix
the new miui jb is also almost the same
IMO.....ICS's best battery life is on Kangy Ultra Ex 1.3 by DaXmax.
Just as long as u don't use Google talk since that's the ROMs only hiccup.
Then again like most will say.... its all depending on the user so hopefully it will help if u try.
I'm currently using the same developers JB ROM called paranoid Android..... so far it great but again I don't use all the newest features to much yet. I'm working myself slowing into the stuff.
Good luck

There is no ROM with super battery life, some better and some worst, very similar.
Most u can get from nexus s is +4hrs screen on.
And i don't care about those pathetic screen shots with +7hrs of screen on.
Fire up 3g/H stock browser, maps, music etc and we'll find out how good ur battery life is.
MIUI get's me aprox 4 hours and 50 minutes of on screen time. Lots of game playing, instant messaging, syncing, music, and social media (Instagram, twitter, tumblr.) And about 9 hours + when it get's to about 14%
EDIT: This is when using WIFI, not my 3G.

This question will produce every combo under the sun...but in the end no Real answer. Every phone/battery is different and how the person uses their phone. Apps installed, how much you use said apps, are the ram hogs, 2g, 3g, I could go on forever...just like this thread will if not eventually ignored or closed.
Closed, there is no answer to this question, the majority of battery drain will be the screen (depending on brightness) and whatever app you have installed and use.
Generally it's a matter of finding out what works for you.

[Q] Viper XL Battery Life

Im running Viper XL and the reason i flashed it is because i heard it has above average battery life, but im getting maybe 10-13 hrs max. I've heard cases of 24 hr battery life, and I cant seem to achieve it. I am running Beast Mode Kernel and have the powersave governor. I am running Stock CPU frequency and have one core active. Am I missing something, because i got better battery life on paranoid android which kind of suprised me.
You really have to drill down on the tweaking and settings. Took me a bit to get what I wanted as well. I completely shut off Google Now, you can toggle off LTE and surprisingly, I raised my min cpu frequency to 594 and ondemand. Shut off HTC powersaver as well. Try a reboot after you tweak up all your settings. I think battery life was better on 2.4.1 but it's pretty well on 3.1 too.

I'm assuming you're running ViperXL 3.1. In that case, I'm surprised you're seeing such poor battery life. But, usage and settings are everything. Things like Google Now and GPS are major battery hogs. Facebook, Google+ and other push applications can also hamper battery life. Check your background sync frequencies! How long is your screen running? At what brightness? etc.
That being said, what strikes me is your kernel. You should not be using Beat Mode Kernel (last I checked it's not even optimized for the latest android version). I recommend you use the stock ViperXL kernel or Elemental v1.5.
I've ran ViperXL 3.1 yesterday with elemental v1.5 for more than 24 hours, 3 hours screen time while syncing 3 e-mail accounts. YMMV but with proper set up it's definitely possible.
Give us more information about your usage!
Alright, thanks for the information on the kernel, its a shame because i heard good about it. But as my screen time i run low brightness and im pretty heavy on texting, I used LTE for about 40 mins total today. can you tell me the way you disabled google now? I've been tweaking the settings a bit and i guess i just havent found my sweet spot.
Edit: And im running 2.4.1 actually sorry should of put that in first post.
Complaining about 13 hours of battery life. O__o

Not a complaint! I'm Just saying i've heard of better
Battery life is a very elusive thing. There are simply too many variables. For every ROM, radio, etc. where people will say they have much better battery life, you will almost certainly find others that have worse. Its just a fact of life with modding phones.
I've gotten about a day and a half on a single charge ever since the phone was released, and over 48 hours with later firmware versions (stock and custom ROMs) as of 2.2X and newer. Some folks can't even get through a half a day.

CleanRom 5.1 might get a little better, but I've had about the same battery life using Viper XL 3.1. A lot of the other things to look at are certain apps that seem to cause a lot of drain (depending on options). The most frequently mentioned are: Google Now, Facebook, and Maps. Other than that, lower brightness and shutting off LTE are the next biggest contenders.

Battery life one Sense vs CM

which one has better battery life?

Personally I'd say CM has slightly better battery life. My sense experience is only from stock JB rom, so can't really say about sense based cuatom roms. But with stock rom i got about 3:00 to 3:30 hours of screen-on time as with CM i got (and currently get) from 3:15 to 3:45. Depending a little on the usage of course. My use is mainly web browsing and some random gaming.

In my experience, the battery life was a bit worse in JB with Sense 4+, compared to ICS with sense. I believe that CM10 is a bit better than JB with sense and maybe as good as ICS with sense but it is really heard to say without doing controlled comparisions.
One thing I noticed was that in CM10 the phone was held awake for long period of times, mostly by MAPS application. But it looks like it does not have a detrimental effeect on battery life. It is just annoying to see that your phone is held awake.
AW: Battery life one Sense vs CM
I tried different Roms as Blackbeen or Liquidsmooth which both had pretty good battery lifes. Actially I am running Viper One S 2.2.0 and its battery Life is just awesome even with stock Kernel and minimum CPU of 384 MHz. It feels like its way longer than the others. Will try it with a custom Kernel and have a look if it gets even better...

I think with the various answers here, it's clear to see the difference is pretty small.
Having used both, I am struggling to actually remember which is better! Either one, if everything is behaving, will be good for 24+ hours of moderate use which is very acceptable by smartphone standards.

Best rom for battery life

Hello guys,
as for me the most annoying part of a smartphone is running out of battery when there is no chance to recharge, I want to collect your experieces with different roms concerning battery life.
WHich rom gave you the longest battery?
Cheers
There are many factors not only the ROM.
It's the kernel you flashed, it's the settings you have chosen... and at least it's your daily behavior with your phone....
Usually you have a better battery life with custom kernels...

as it was answered
custom kernel with feature as ability to set minimum CPU frequency and probablly voltage control
and U'll have to try some of them in order to find out the wright one
Longest battery life i get with stock rom so far (around 20h with moderate usage)
for custom roms:
Best battery life gave me PAC-Man rom with bubbav4 kernel - which was almost like stock.
ViperOneS had the worst battery life for me.
just try some roms and kernels, it also depends on how you use your phone of course.
in my experience, 4.2.2 roms have the lowest battery life ~3.5 hours screen on + wifi on (active Web surfing) with auto brightness.
Viper rom 2.1 ~4 hours
aosp 4.1.2 (cm10) and viper 1.2.1 ~4.5
very rough numbers obviously so no one roast me. remember I'm talking about total screen on time as reported by the battery app.
The newer jb 4.2 roms are very popular and have a lot of great features, but if battery is your thing, try out some of the older android and sense roms.

For me it was pretty much a tie between Liquid Smooth with Bubba Kernel(OC to 1890 for heavy periods, 1134 for light usage, and complete collapse of the CPU when the screen is off) And Viper One S with the Stock Kernel. Like everyone said though you'll experience wildly different numbers depending on what settings you use and how much
Viper has always had phenomenal battery life.

Complete collapse of Cpu when screen off? Is that pm sleep mode 1 or 0?
Thank you very much. Unfortunately my phone jack is broken so I cannot test your configs, will report after repair though.

(Q) GB vs ICS vs JellyBean vs KK

My question, who of these android versions are battery stable and performance?
I tested all(except ics) but i'm not sure if i did something bad, idk
GB:Laggy, (4000 antutu score), but battery life its really really high
ICS: Not tested
4.1.2: I think its very fast, really fast(4400-4900 antutu score), but my battery drains like 1% every 5-10 mins without doing anything
4.2.2: Heavier than CM10, its a little bit laggy more than cm10(4200-4500 antutu), but the same thing with battery life
4.3: I really dont like this, for me its laggy, and rip battery life (3800-4000 antutu)
KK4.4:Well 4.4 its like very new, and idk if its gonna be good for SL, i feel KK laggy,(i mean, if u install multiple apps, its like very slow, in comparation with the others android version), but battery life isnt bad, but not good(4200 antutu score)
Idk if i did something bad, but, u have less battery use in cm10-cm10.1? i tried like everything and my battery is like new (1 week), and drops very fast
a lot of the battry drain its for the screen(idk why, i can have all the brightness low and its the same thing), and media service (idk how to stop that really)
Greetings, i hope someone knows a good cm10+ rom with good battery life
i think X-gamerz ROM is the one try it if you are looking for performence and battry life
go for cm11 and then ehndroix v ....best results
for good battery....use it it 3-4 battery cycles and also calibrate the battery regularly.!!

The current CM11 offers excellent battery life.. It's what you run in your device that's making it bad. Instead of blaming the ROM, take a really close look at the user apps installed instead. The user is usually the main contributor for bad battery life.
