Alright, Thanks.
Why would this Kernel have better battery life?

I've been seeing a couple of posts that say that the battery life is noticeably better.
I love reading all this stuff about battery life.
Reality of it People is you probably just use your phone to much.
it's normal HIGH drain devices + small batteries = Wall Charger
If we want longer battery life we need higher .mah sure it would have been nice had it came with a 2200mah battery but you would be carrying a brick.
Found this... make wifi charge your phone.

And the kicker is that they will still charge the phone atleast once a day regardless of a better "battery saving kernel" LOL
Uninstall everything from your device, it helps a lot. Or go buy Nokia 3210, you can use it 2 weeks without charge with stock kernel.

do battery apps work? has anybody actually done testing on different ones and witch ones work best?
i want one for my stock sensation and my acer a501 with a custom rom.
thanks all

they work in some sense but also dont in another lol.
ICS is pretty efficient i dont feel the need for one. however they work if u want it to monitor consumption in more detail.... but thus meaning the app is always running - so using more battery.
i wouldnt use them permanently - maybe for a few days to find a source of battery drain.
Well I usually have CurrentWidget with me, just to check if something strange is happening with my mA consume... but for battery drain I've tried many and none worked, just follow some tutorials on this forum about Battery, they help more than any app to improve your battery life
I recently purchased this phone, and have been appalled by the battery life, it's atrocious. I also seem to have a bug with Maps that keeps draining me, even though I don't use any location services, etc. So now, I'm going to install a new rom, and see if my battery improves significantly. My question is, which rom is the best with battery life? There is no point in having this fancy phone if you can't use it because the battery is dead before you even get out of work and it's just been sitting in your pocket -_-, this is what happened to me.
Right now I'm downloading CleanROM 6r2, latest build. I do intend on flashing it later tonight and testing how the battery level is, and if it still declares I'm roaming when I'm obviously not.
Right now I'm stock, rooted and bootloader unlocked I have no put any roms on the phone as of yet, but battery is terrible regardless. My brother has the same phone, same carrier and same battery issues albeit, not nearly as detrimental as mine.
Thanks in advance. If CleanROM is the best with battery life thus far that would be great. I'd like to try 4.2.2, but hear it's got terrible battery life?
Sorry to be the first to say that "what's the best Rom" is frowned on around here
You really need to find out what works best on your phone through reading and testing.
However just to point you in the right direction. clean Rom has never let me down and synergy can sleep like a baby
Finally I'd think it is safe to say aosp Roms will never compare to battery on tw
They can still be very good but for your purpose you may have better luck else where.
God bless the American people
You could just freeze maps if you are not using it.

95% battery life is controlled by the Kernel, not the rom. The other small 5% can contribute to battery such as odex vs deodex, quick boot up. Also, I'm not going to bring in user settings control such as screen brightness, apps sync intervals etc.. I'm talking about if we have 2 devices with the exact same setup, the kernel is where it makes a diff in battery saving.

This ^^. I thought about it, but its just too big and intrusive.
Besides, my phone shouldn't die idle in my pocket. My brothers AT&T S3 stayed on for 3 days without usage, mine died in under 8 hours.
Anyway, I do understand that "what is the best" is frowned upon. I've been around a little while, I'm just not very active. I really wanted more of a general answer regarding user feedback with certain roms, or experiences maybe.
Also, regarding the kernel that is news to me, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. I guess I can redirect my search to a kernel.
I do want to report though that my battery life has improved significantly I think than what it was before. Granted the rom was just installed today and has already died, I used it very heavily today though as opposed to the very minimal usage that killed it previously. I wont for certain until I get back to school and have it idle around for a while.
I'll check out Synergy if I'm not impressed, although CleanROM right now has fixed the MAPS issue I was experiencing. It no longer shows it as something that's killing my battery and I left all the settings the same as they were. So that tells me it was an obvious bug in my software specifically or something of that nature. So far so good.
P.S., did you personally have better life with Synergy over CleanRom?
Btw, I have always maintained a modest setup on my phone that should improve battery life. Low screen brightness, no WIFI unless I need it, no mobile data unless I want it or need it. I never checked on sync intervals though, I'll have to do that.^_^
It all depends on the kernel and its setting. My experience so far is that I overall get good battery life with LeanKernel, GalaxyKOR, KT kernel regardless what ROM I use. I also use DS Battery Saver in Slumberer mode. At one point after fully charging my phone I left the screen off for 8 hours woke up it went from 100 % to 97%.
I'll check out DS battery and some of those kernels. What is your primary ROM? I'm digging CleanRom right now.

Will this battery fit the same as stock?

I recommend just trying diff roms and diff kernels and just see what works best for you. I am currently using Jelly Beans build 13 with LeanKernel and I have really good battery life.

Went ahead and flashed lean kernel v 1.10 now my phone wont boot up. I get 2 Samsung Galaxy logo's then it turns back off. ?
In the process of restoring a backup I made. Is there something wrong with the way I approached things? I simply put the zip on my sd card, and flashed it in CWM

So my backup saved me. After that I went through file directory for leankernel and seen nothing about 1.10 haha, so I guess I downloaded something wrong. Now I'm going to try flashing 2.1 will report.
Edit: So, I did flash the wrong kernel on accident. New 2.1 kernel worked for me this time.

Leankernel has an TW and AOSP version. Good thing you did a backup.
Download Better Battery Stats to better track down your wakelocks. Besides that I don't really think there is anything that can be significantly improved going from ROM to ROM. 4.2.2 ROMs are starting to rival TW in terms of battery life. The biggest battery killer is low signal. If you are in a building or on the edge of a service area having your phone constantly switching towers or going from 3g/4g really eats up the battery.

There are Touchwiz and AOSP versions of Lean Kernel. Look in the original development section and flash the appropriate one for your ROM.

I purchased the 7000mah battery and lost my data connection when I was away from my house. I asked around and it's a known bug, but a lot of people don't care because the battery lasts so long. I have the 4200 hyperion and 4400 Anker and love the Anker... as a back cover, I use Seidio's cover because the ones that come with Anker and Hyperion are crap.
On my phone, I have used almost all the TW and AOSP ROMs.... For me, CleanRom gets the best battery. I am not into messing with my performance settings, I don't find it helps all that much and causes more problems than it's worth. With the Anker battery, I go through about 35% battery per day... if I let my phone get down to 5% battery life left, I usually have somewhere around 6 hours of screen time. For me, that's plenty.
Hey Guys,
I didn't know where to ask this question so I made a new thread here.
My question is that which ROM should I use for best battery life??
I have tried most of the ROM in the two sections. But all ROMS drain battery so much. I have tried different Kernels as well. Nothing improved.
Please let me know if you have any in mind. I'll give it a try. Most of the roms work 9 hours max. I'm looking for more than that.

Screen on time/Radio on time are the killers if you use your radios and/or keep the screen on a lot, that makes sense.
With Viper and bulletproof give me an average of about 14 hours with about 2 hours of screen on time and 3 hours of Bluetooth headphones + Tune in Radio.
If you're using your phone a lot then no rom will help you. AOSP roms will not have as good battery as Sense but still pretty decent.
Invest in a pocket charger or one of those extended battery cases.

I dont use radio or anything else. Only thing i use is texting or calling. or some times games.
Screen uses the most battery.

My Sensation runs hot with GPS on too, I think its just in the nature of the device really. You could try undervolting and see if that helps. Maybe using an Anker battery would help your phone to run a bit cooler also.

I generally get the best temperature on HyperNonSense as it is a lightweight ROM with most unneeded parts removed. Try using Bricked Kernel and using something like Kernel Tuner you can globally lower the voltage by a set amount. In my experience with HNS and Bricked I could get about a -75mv undervolt and still be stable, but everyone's device is different.
