I recently unlocked my bootloader and applied Telstra branded JB to my phone, that was previously running stock ICS, performance seems faster, but battery drains much quicker.
What would be the recommended firmware/ROM to enhance my battery performance?
My phone is XT 925.

Hi,
I have really good battery and GPS performance with latest SFR 4.1.2 build Feb 4 ROM.
Bye
I can confirm the good performance of the SFR 4.1.2. I have flashed the retail french 4.1.2 and I think I have shorter battery lifetime.

Thanks for the quick answer!
Now, what I did when I flashed the Telstra one, was to include my carrier's bands to get 4G/HDSPA. Should I do something similar when using this France file? I just wonder because the Australian-European difference, since I'm on an American (region wise) phone.
You are probably right, I can't really tell, but it seems we don't have same band... I'm in France, so no problem for me with SFR ROM.

The one you say is 4.1.1, from the JB thread, or is it another one? That was the only one I could find around.

Flash the SFR rom 4.1.1 then update via OTA ...
You get the 4.1.2 ... Delete all bloatware ...
Wipe data and cache ...
Install your appz ...
Enjoy the great perf and battery...
If you are in LATAM or CANADA ... Flash the radio file from Rogers !

I'm not sure how long your battery used to last before as you didn't specify but I am on stock Telstra JB 4.1.2 and I easily get 2 days out of my battery with moderate use. I'm not sure if I could ask for anything more than that..!!
Cheers

I'm trying to update via OTA, and it downloads, the phone turns down, and then, after a few seconds the android animation appears with a little red triangle, and turns on without update at all... What could I do in this situation?

I'm a heavy user and with ICS I could squeeze 14-15 hours from a charge. With this JB, and same type of use, I can't seem to get more than 10 hours.I'll give this one SFR a spin and report my results. Maybe it's a heavy-battery-use thing.
To have a good battery performance on Jelly Bean you should disable Google Now and all locations related services. After that, you'll enjoy a better smartphone than ever.

Thanks for the advice! I guess Google Now eats up more battery than I thought.
Also this SFR version seems to be doing wonders for my battery. Now I get 20 hours-1 day of usage, with the same amount of use!
Now I just wonder if there's a workaround for installing the OTA update because I tried several times and it's not taking.

With the existence of the LQ1 ICS, I wanted to ask if SIMs worked fine with it even though the firmware is not for your region? I'm dying to flash it but I also don't want to get hassled at this moment because I extremely need the device almost everyday. I want to wait for the official one in my region but I can't ignore the fact that ICS is here. :|
Thanks

Hi All,
Is there any difference between the unbranded UK stock ROM from 2012 against, say, a ROM from the Czech Republic released in 2014? They are the same version but have a different PDA version(?).
Additionally, which custom ROM, ideally Android 4.1 and above, is most stable for general daily use, including working camera, good battery life, etc?
Thanks!

you can use cm 10.0(android 4.1.2) pure galaxy rom, its the best in jellybean without any bugs(wifi tether,camcorder problem), or you can use speedmod which is based on kitkat 4.4.2.(wiffi hotspot and camcorder bug), kitkat is more fast :silly:

The difference between ROM is the release date, in this case the one from 2014 would be with less bugs and better system stability
i had oldest romanian ROM, and i always had ramdump critical errors.
Updating the ROM solved everything
Okay that's brilliant, thanks for your help!
Hey guys, I just saw that 5.1.1 has been available for my N915G for some time now. I would like to ask how people are feeling about it in terms of performance? I was on 5.0.1 awhile back and it was so laggy and slow that I eventually downgraded to 4.4.4 (at times, I wouldn't even be able to answer calls because the phone would ring but the phone was so laggy that the screen wouldn't turn on until after they hung up).
I'm very happy with the performance of 4.4.4 now but I do like the features in Lollipop so I just wanted to ask if it's safe to jump back in? I heard that it's not possible to downgrade after flashing 5.1.1 so I need to be sure before taking the dive. Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks for the reply. Although I am always a little cautious when I hear people say there's no lag at all. I have never had a non-stock Android phone that was lag free (well, with the exception of my old Z1 Compact maybe). Even on 4.4.4 where the performance is far better than on 5.0.1, there is noticeable but tolerable lag at times. But still, I'm glad to hear you're having a good experience on it!

how did you update 5.1.1, I'm on 5.0.1 and OTA doesn't show any update available?

It depends on what version of the Note Edge you're on. Mine is SM-N915G (yours could be 9150, 915F, 915FY etc.) and sammobile.com listed 5.1.1 as being available. Then you need to flash it through odin. There are tons of guides around for that if you do find a compatible firmware for you.
I have 915G. Can you please provide any updated working guide /links?

Well I haven't done it yet myself but I'm pretty sure it works the same way as with previous firmwares. There are heaps of guides here and elsewhere that describe the steps to using Odin such as this one. And get the firmware from here.
Question for the more knowledgeable people: Does the baseband version on my current firmware have to match with the one I'm trying to flash from Sammobile?

Shouldn't matter, it's the "G" that's important.
There is both a Telstra rom and a generic rom of 5.1.1 so you should be good to go.
If you want to get root access you will need to flash a 5.1.1 root enabled kernel however...

How did you update? Via update on phone or did you flash new firmware via pc software, either best thing to do is carry out a factory reset, there is conflicting experiences in terms of battery life mm vs nougat, some say it has better battery life in Nougat others not so much, currently there seems to be certain nougat version firmwares which give better battery life.

It looks like this isn't for Android One, right? Dumb question, but is there a way to turn it into A1?

I’m running the firmware linked in the OP, and I’m facing no bugs. USB connections work fine. I thought there were some issues with the fingerprint scanner, but they seem to have been resolved overnight. This is for the XT-1900-1 Retail variant. The update is only available on Retail and Fi on channel “retus” so far, and this thread has links to both the fastboot images.
Thanks
Thanks, works fine here

There is a noticeable improvement in performance after upgrading to Android 8.1, and this update in particular has great battery management. I did some light gaming, video calling for an hour, and extensive streaming and web browsing, all on LTE, and was able to get an SOT of about 9 hours.
Been running this since Saturday on the XT1900-7 32GB/3GB UK
Working fine so far, no problems.
Hi guys. It's this only for XT1900-1 or could it work on XT1900-7 variant (reteu) too?
Thanks!
