LONGEST LASTING BATTERY stable ROM/kernel

Hi. I am using stock ics. Getting 1.5days of battery with light usage of data(2g). However. Is there a rom that can push it, to a full 2 days? I'm irritated having to charge my phone in the middle of the day. also I would prefer a stable rom only.

you can put a custom kernel that can extend your battery life. i recommend glados for ics.

Are there any problems with it ?

about GlaDos
if you have S-amuled you will have a greenish screen when waking the device
(that can be fixed with some voodoo configuration editing)
other then that i personally think this is the best available kernel for ICS right now.
it has Deep Idle so you will probably see some improvement of battery life

i have 9023, lcd version.. should i flash Nexus beam with it?

Battery life depends on ROMs and your usage habits.

If you can get five hours of on screen time your doing something right.

Hi.
I think that if you want so good batterylife as possible, it all depends on what ROM and kernel you are using together.
In my opinion Matr1x and GlaDOS 2.9 are probably the best, and you should try one of them, or why not try one for a week, then try the other and then deside.

Deside should be with a c.... DECIDE!!
No, just kidding, but it is with a c. I think you're totally right! I prefer Matr1x, but GlaDOS belongs to one of the best kernels as well!

Thank you very much as I will try one up and see where it takes me too... Now with said kernels what settings are optimal for long lasting as I'm not all sure due to being slightly new to it

Ok so just flashed the current matr1x kernel and now as settings go what governor and cpu setting should I use for best battery life
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

I set cpu at 100 min, and max 800... And governor at lazy... I unplugged at 12 noon and its 1:37 and im at 79% is this normal...
As I only check xda 3 times and facebook once and email a few time and texting between 2 people and a 20 minute call...

I'm very surprised at this, given Pete's propensity to tweak the baked in kernel dramatically to improve both performance and battery life. I'm getting great results of both using his kernel.
Saying that, Steve Garon's plays very nicely with Pete's ROM. Either leave ondemand and deadline scheduler.
Matr1x is also very good. Same there, or use lazy for decent battery life.
As for what settings. It totally depends what you have going. If you got 25 different news widgets sucking data like there's no tomorrow, then yes, you;re going to see crappy battery life. Tell us what you;ve got going on and we'll try and help.

Well I just turned sync off most Google stuff aside from Gmail and twitter sync is off and other stuff I am not all sure what is and isn't off or on
I can almost sit back and watch my battery tick down ward
Is there like maybe an extended battery aside from the one in box can buy to assist n more juice

Best battery life ROM?

Which ROM do y'all think gives the best battery life? I'm on baked right now and right as I get out of school I'm down to 35% usually, thanks

I use viper and it is giving me a good battery life. I don't know about aokp/cm. I think you should try everything and then you will chose whatever is good for your needs.

How is the stock Rom with battery? Just wondering if it's worth rooting and putting a custom Rom on for battery
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

cm10 has nice battery life ..m using dark jelly S v20 the battery is really good works almost a day for me with me almost connected for 14-16hrs of wifi connectivity and listening music and of course auto sync always on ! u should try all once before proceeding further

Energy ROM and of course.. other stock based ROMs have the best power management available, you know, engineered by HTC

For me, cm10 gives better battery life than stock Sense. I think it depends on how you use your phone.

I'm using Baked too, but for me battery life is just great! Actually on 57% with 8h 27m and almost 1.5h screen...

Of course rooting for battery is a good idea. Undervolted & underclocked kernels, delete bloatware that's constantly running, etc. And as far as best battery life, baked has been very kind to my phone.
A typical day for me (7am on phone for 2-3 hours reading the news before work, music to/from work, light usage on breaks, then hotspot at home for internet, and all the calls/texts in between and countless downloads) will leave me with 20-30% battery when I go to bed around midnight

[Q] Beanstalk and CM 10.1 Battery Life

Does anyone know the difference between beanstalk and CM 10.1's jelly bean battery life?? Because i just got beanstalk yesterday and it's been draining my battery pretty quick so I'm thinking about switching back to CM 10.1 to see if there are any differences in the battery life..

I don't think there are any differences to be honest.
Beanstalk is based on CM10.1 with some extra features.
But I still recommend to try as many as different ROMs possible because it might be ROM but it also could be your old battery.
My battery is new and it is still bad. So I can see if it's older and worn out battery, must be really bad.
By the way, ice cream sandwich and jellybean have worse battery life than gingerbread.

I get better battery life on JB than I ever got on GB. And I'm still on my original battery.
I replied to your other post though with an app that could help. And by the way. After daily driving both cm10.1 and beanstalk, the battery life difference is not noticeable.

How many hours of battery life are you getting on current Unofficial CM10.1 ? I flashed it last night and charged it to 100% and it has drained to 18% in 14hrs.

First couple of days on any new ROM or update always has worse battery life. ROM has to settle in

let me know if you notice a difference in the 2 roms

I left Carbon because of the sizing differences between 260 and 190 DPI, and the home key did not work, although the battery seemed amazing even though it was just after a flash. I didn't have much of a chance to test as I had 38% battery. Ill try Beanstalk now, right after I clear some space

Well Beanstalk is not dying as quick as Slim Bean and CM 10 cause i left it on charge all night while listening to music and it stayed at 100% for atleast 10 mins or longer but i'm gonna continue to do that till thursday

I get better battery when I turn off Google Location Access.

Which ROM is better in battery life CM10.1 or Beanstalk ? I have been using 10.1 from past 1 week but battery life is terrible.On 100% full charge i got around 18hrs wid limited internet access and phone calls nd brightness set to minimum.

Right now i'm using beanstalk and i used this app that disables the mediaserver so my battery on it is not so bad but not so good.. Everyone using Carbon is saying their battery is great so try Carbon at the development page :good:

[Q] Stock or Custom rom for better battery

Hello all, I am wanting to get a good battery life on my mobile. So if I use a marmite kernel with stock jb will I get a better battery life or marmite kernel with rasbeanjelly will give better battery life.
What combo among the two I mentioned you all suggest for good battery life.
Thank you for reading.
Regards

I think that kernels have very little impact on power consumption (except if they running undervolted, downclocked or are broken in some way). More important thing is the ROM and apps that you use on daily base.
Best battery consuming ROM from my exp is CM10 stable with stock kernel, but maybe with 15-20 mins of screen time more than stock at most. Best tip for conserving power on NS and JB is to switch off 3G, Google Now and Location service when you don't need it.

Thanks for replying. But isn't people facing issues with cm10?

Perhaps with 10.1, but 10 stable, or the latest 20122012 nightly was pretty stable. I had one issue only with it - auto brightness was somewhat jerky... That's only battery wise.
Fastest ROM for me is MDO by knzo, RasbeanJelly mod which I am using right now. 3 and a half hours of screen time is same as 3 hours and 15 minutes. Either way I need to charge it at the end of the day.
