[Q] Stock ROM vs Custom ROM Battery life

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.

[Q] Which ROM provides the great battery life?

Hi,
As subject.. Which ROM provide the greatest battery usage??
for Sense ROM..

no way to tell for you boss. battery life depends on amount usage and type of usage. my signature right now is great for me. My usage i would say is above average, and so far im going on 15 hours and im at 40%.
so try out a few things, different kernel and rom combos and see which is best for you.

try InsertCoin...its masterpiece specially with battery life

Android Revolution HD 3.6.8 XE version!
Greatttt GREAT baterylife!

Andromadus vs. Jellytime vs. PACman vs. Pure CM10

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'am trying different roms all the time... right now I'm using FullySamsung-1.0.1 since couple of days... battery life sucks on this rom...
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??

TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST and TEST SOME MORE see what works best on your phone

You are asking a question, so this belongs in Q&A.
And there is no answer to this question. No single ROM is going to give battery life to all people. It depends on how you use your phone, as well as other factors (radio reception in your area). There are just too many variables to account for, that a truly objective comparison of battery life between ROMs is virtually impossible. Any claims of battery life are going to be anecdotal at best. You might find some trends. But even so, for every ROM that has people saying they have better battery life, you will find some people that get worse battery life.

In general stock based roms have excellent battery life compared to cyanogen and other custom roms. Ckeanrom or hafka for example has excellent battery life. I'm using rebel rom and the battery life is also excellent.

I have to agree with what people are saying here, there is no one rom which is " better " in battery life it mainly depends on the end user.

In my personal experience, Sense based ROMs always have better battery life.

Chosyst after
Im using viperXL on mine and love it!!

Viper XL 1.2.4. w/Beastmode Kernel 3.0 undervolted -50mv ~0.8%/hr drain overnight. Viper XL 2.0 + always was 1.5%/hr or higher, with Beastmode, undervolted 50mv as well. I have tried 2.0, 2.1, 2.4, and 3.1.0 (3.1.0 with stock kernel). All have above 1.5%/hr drain overnight.
Measured using BetterBatteryStats and MyBatteryDrain Analyzer.
All were with the same exact apps.

I'm getting good battery life with Insanity kernel and pac-rom, but it's not phenomenal: 3 hours of screen on time at best.
My advice is to use the Rom you like the most: even if you work hard and tweak everything you're never getting great battery life from this device.

Members should try ROMs/kernels themselves as this is very subjective and varies between users vastly.
