Hi i'd like to know how battery compares on the DS.
I hear many ppl say that on custom ROMs the battery is better, but by what margin?
There is a person saying he had his DS approxiametly in standby for 200hrs (stock)
then with a custom ROM 400hrs...
is that an accurate prediction... do the custom ROMs increase battery by that large margin?
i would have thought that having all the newer sense 3.0 , overclocked ROMs etc, would make the phones battery life worse than stock, but it seems not so....
Anyone can share their expierences please?
i dont know about stand by but if u ask about usage stock rom battery life sux.I'm on cm7 (right now) and must say that this rom is the best one for battery life...tried miui,lbc,virtuous and now cm7 so far and in cm7 is no drain at all...7-9mA on idle ..all roms drain fast if u use wifi ..if u really use ur phone whatever u use stock or custom rom u will must charge every day thats for sure
in some lines, when screen off i get use of:
Stock: 14-15ma
Custom 6-8ma
Meaning that custom rom uses half of current... means better battery life
yeah just like that

on standby you can see a huge increase in battery life if you use a custom ROM
but when you are actually using the device the battery life isn't changed that much as the display causes most of the battery drain & so reduction in battery consumption of most other processes does not affect the battery life much,but it definitely is a lot better
& also most custom ROMs underclock the device when the device is sleeping so that also helps the battery life
AOSP roms had battery drain issues,but the devs are working on it & it should be fixed soon(im not sure if its fixed yet)
Thanks everyone for your input!
Will be considering rooting my phone and installing a custom ROM , once i'm fully settled in with it

would just agree with what @kartkk said above.
Would also say that you are correct to delay, as there are a decent number of guides and weeks worth of reading material here in the forum to keep you busy and help you along the way.plus lots of us here willing to answer any questions you may have as you should be fairly confident what you are up to before you start flashing.

yeah,i agree dont root your device for the first week or two till you can get all the info about rooting & also get to know the problems in stock so that you can choose the best custom ROM for you

with Virtuous Unity my device lasts two days instead of one day (with stock rom)
Compared with stock rom im getting around 8 hours more on the miui 1.7.29 rom by superkid. I can easily get over 2 days of moderate to heavy usage

Thanks for answers everyone! Recieved my phone yesterday.. really impressed with battery life on first charge out of box on stock! Can't imagine it could be even better on custom roms!

I haven't noticed a difference really, but then again I am over clocking now by about 400Mhz. Custom roms are just better all round.
Do custom roms without HTC sense last longer?

interesting question, since sense is quite often blamed for its exessive battery drain.

In my experience, stock froyo has the best battery life, if you don't count stock, cm7 with roq kernel XIV always worked well for me. People have also recorded great battery life on AOKP, but it can't watch 480p videos or record video with a decent framerate so I've never used it for long enough to get a good estimate on the battery life. Your friend is better off trying out roms until he finds one he likes. If you're doing it for him, flash cyanogenmod 7 and use djnoxd's kernel, in my opinion, that's the most stable setup.
U broke a forum rule though i may help you
1- Oxygen has been the most battery efficeient rom which also gives good performance and is stable thannks to popdog Lacks theme chooser though. but u may give up looks for battery and performance .
2-cm7 gives a lot of features battery life <Oxygen but u can theme it for looks
My suggesion try out all roms respect the devs
Well,the --RESURRECTION-- ROM is good.
It resolved my problem with small battery life....try it
PS: Sorry for my bad english,i'm Italian :|
Dont trust the guy above that rom isnt meant for battery -.-
Thanks guys
Well i see i broke a forum rule and that's why i edited first post
Ill try out those roms

I don't think this breaks rules because this asks a specific question
"What is the Best Rom" is too subjective
This is about battery life and battery life can't be tested because it UE took risky

fr nw i guess gingerblub n gingersnap r good at battery.. :fingers-crossed:
press thanks if helped..
I use Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 stable with DJNoXD's kernel (with CM kernel there are sudden battery drains) and battery last good, i'm not using 3g but if you enable it battery life is shorter...

Oh really? What If I say this xyz rom is better, and you feel its the worst in terms of battery?
It all depends on your usage, and I dont think the rom better for you would also be better for someone else.

Hi Guys,
I am running cm10 kang rom and am having extreme battery drain issues, i am charging 2 times a day,

Is there another jelly bean rom anyone can recommend?
(I tried to post in the Dev thread but i dont have enough posts and am not worthy )
Thanks

Hi,
Sometimes it takes a couple of cycles (charge/discharge) for a battery to settle.
Alternatively,try a different kernel.
I know they are still working on the Rom .perhaps the battery life will get better as the Rom is upgraded? I'm not sure the recommended kernel for that particular Rom , this could be you need to try a different kernel? Once you have enough posts here ask on developers page the recommended kernel for battery life., this should help a bit. Also you can try juice defender it might help a bit too .as mentioned above it takes some time for a new Rom to "settle" in sometimes .this could also be the issue. Also some roms are better than others at battery conservation. Check your settings make sure nothing is draining battery and set them accordingly. Hope this helps. Best wishes

Hello,
at the moment i am using Jellytime. For now i am happy with this, but i think the battery life could be just better. So which rom from above offers you the best battery lifetime?
im using pacman.. the battery life is good.. i can use the phone the whole day(surfing, internet, texting, music...).. i always plug my phone in before going to bed, and i still have around 10% left

Using Pacman v18.0 at the moment and the battery life is not very good. Its usually dead by evening.

Me too. Battery life is very short using Pacman v18.0, at most 5 hours. The screen is the process that consumes more battery. Maybe it is only a my problem, but with Fallout v.5 I didn't have this problem (but others :laugh.
Well I find the battery life good on pure CM10.
If it wasnt for the graphics glitches when browsing, it'd be a really good ROM!
I have installed Pacman v18.0 about 3 days ago and am very impressed with the ROM. No problem with battery life but one major problem with the phone randomly going into Sim Lock mode. Could be after 5 minutes, could be after 5 hours and sometimes while just using it.
PACman, way to go.
I'm using Andromadus CM10.1 and battery is good...Overall is good except Bluetooth that doesn't work yet...

Mine has about an hours worth of battery...
For now I'm switching to my sense rom
On the latest build (build 10) of Andromadus 10.1 I found that the bluetooth was fixed!
Overall, at this time, I believe that the 3 andromadus ROMs are by far the best Jellybean effords!
Thank GOD I got here...
Could someone help me with rom that includes these features?
1. The official ics look (nexus ics)
2. That includes all apps like the sensed ics got. (fM radio,voice recorder,youtube etc)
3. My wifi doesnt turn on when i use any custom rom It just says "Turning on wifi" for the whole day.
4. The settings tab normal (not the tablet type like pacman got)
....
Thanks

I do not see the connection between battery life and "preferences and taste"...
From my experiences all JB roms for DS are draining battery very fast...

some people prefer to UV their kernels. Some people don't prefer. Some kernels allow UV, some don't. see it all comes down to preference,of course UV also may cause performance to decrease. so it stills come down to preference.

That still isn't answer for a question from first topic... "So which rom from above offers you the best battery lifetime?".
It's just general deviation about the opportunities offered by kernels...

Hmm, when ppl say try it yourself, it simply means that u would have to flash the rom to know what's best for u.
Everyone uses his/her phone differently, so basicly there is no ideal rom that pleases everyone.
Everyone will you give a different opinion in terms of battery/speed/etc. That's why it is a bit pointless in asking what's the "best rom" for the other person when the usage is different.
So no point having second doubt and just flash the phone, try every single rom, i have flash from sense to cm to ics and now back to gb.
Go ahead and experiment the roms for yourself. Today someone might give u a suggestion, the next day a another. that's why it is consider pointless in asking such question as 'which is the best can u recommend me' and much better to try it for yourself instead of being shortchange in case there is another better than that is being suggested.
Camera Issue
Does any one facing camera issue?
I tried installing many JB roms but camera lags in all while video recording.
Is there any work around for this??

My mom i727 is now out of warranty. She is on the att official 4.1.2 rom and the battery life is just horrible. Battery Guru helped but I got a feeling a custom rom would help more. She had awesome battery life on ICS. I have the i717 and I also tried the stock att 4.1.2 and had horrible battery life(among other issues) Questions is: (dont hate) I need a rom ics or jellybean that is just incredible stable. Since this is not my phone I have not been able to try out anything. Any help would be great. THANKS!! What rom would you give your mom=)
I'd keep her on stock. And if ics worked better for you I'd put that on.

thanks for the reply . I should state that she is pretty crafty. She has had to deal with me for past 33 years. She can navigate OSX ubuntu, and even windows 8. I was just hoping for some feedback. I appreciate it.

I think Vincom released a SuperLight version of the official Jelly Bean Update-that might be worth a shot. I also got great battery life on Sons of Android's builds. Great stability, too.

Sons of Android was my first DD when I switched to custom ROMs. I ran it for a whole week and it was really stable and got a 33% battery life increase over stock ROM with similar usage.
Stock ROMs can also crash so you could try any stable custom ROM out here.
Got to agree with xcrazyd on this one. If battery life is the problem the logical solution would be to get an extended battery. Check out the accessories section, you can get one for 7 bucks.
oh dang, 7 bucks for the extended battery? I think I'll get on that. I currently get about 12 hours out of my skyrocket with light use on CM10.1. No matter what the battery life on this phone isn't going to be awesome. Especially when you look at what's using the battery (it's the screen).

If that's the kind of battery life you're getting you need this, not an extended battery.
thanks for replies everyone. right now i have her on the cm10.1 rc5. She seems to like it and hasnt had any issues so far. If something comes up I will try the sons of android rom. She just wants battery life like she use to have on ICS. No extended battery need but thanks for the suggestion. I actually have a 5200 i sometimes use on my i717. Appreciate all you time.

Weird that you would get bad battery life on samsung jelly bean, i had the Rogers jelly bean and it had great battery life. Same with CM10/CM10.1 and MIUI.
