do we have a built in battery saver software in this rom....is there are plenty of softwares out in market but most of the people are not sure that which battery saver software gives more juice..... thanks
OmniROM does a great job on battery life, although there is no such energy saving app built in. But you have various options under System Settings > Developer options like disabling animation scales or System Settings > Performance like lowering max. CPU freq. to squeeze out some more juice. Keep in mind that these only have small effects. If you want to save more power, keep screen brightness low and take a look at wakelocks using Wakelock Detector app.

UPDATED! Improve MiniCM9(nAa) Battery >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25959229#post25959229
Stay tune, there may be additional tips and important notes!
General
Put ur phone to sleep via notification power widget(CM Settings) to prevent wakelocks(awake while screen off).
Conectivity
Turn Wi-fi and Bluetooth off when not in use.
(Power Control Widget ...OR... Settings > Wireless and Networks)
Location
Disable Wireless Network Positioning.
(Settings > Location)
Disable GPS Satellites.

Display
Manual Brightness: Lowest (0)
Auto-rotate screen: Off
Animation: No animation
Screen Time-out: 30secs or less.
(Power Control Widget ...OR... Settings > Screen & display)
For even lower brightness, set dim level to 10 or below
(CM Settings > Display > Automatic Backlight > Screen Dim Level)
Wallpaper and Widgets
Use static background instead of live wallpapers.
Darker wallpapers are recommended for AMOLED screen.
Use less active widgets (high refresh rate)
(Long press Home Screen)
Network
Turn Airplane mode on while you are sleeping.
Turn off Data Transfer (network internet connection) when not in use.
Turn on Airplane Mode when you(user) sleep.

(Settings > Language & Keyboard)
Rom Modules - Tweaks to your rom. Works for both stock and modded roms.
If there's undervolt module for your rom, use it.
Custom CPU governor such as smartass, smartassV2
(!) For some CM7 Roms, smartass makes your phone very lag, try smartassV2 or ondemand.
CPU & Processor
Reduce processor speed (Underclock).
Choose [powersave/conservative/smartass] governors. (!) Quite laggy.
[APP] SetCPU for Root Users
-Set processor speed and governors.
Extras
Use less UI-replace apps like CallerID, WidgetLocker, GO Locker etc.
Background and Running Apps
Use task killer ONLY for apps/games u wont use for the next few hours.
Dont leave task killer in the notification bar, kill it together.
(!) If u kill every system apps, your phone have to re-run them all over again. Thus battery drains.
(!) Watch what you kill
[APP] Titanium Backup's Freezing function (PAID VERSION)
-Prevent the apps from running without uninstalling them.
-Frozen apps wont be shown in App Drawer and cannot be launched. (You can defrost if you want)
-Safe common system apps to be frozen: (actually most of them are safe, what u freeze is what wont work)
Market (Market wont work)
Gmail (Market wont work)
Google Apps (affects Market)
Google Search (affects Market)
Google Talk
FOTAkill
Pico TTS (Speech to text wont work)
TTS Service (Speech to text wont work)
Voice Search (Voice Search wont work)
Voice Dialer (Voice Dialer wont work)
(!) Don't freeze apps like Sync, Settings, Package Installer, Messaging and some obviously important apps.

I think automatic brightness is the best. If you go out during the day you won't be able to see anything on 0 brightness.
It's probably more convenient to just buy a second battery.
Good guide for those desperate for more battery life though.
Green Power is a much simpler alternative to Juice Defender and seems to work a lot better too!
Also there is no need for a task killer if you are running GB. Complete waste of time.
Task killer is much easier than GB internal app control. Save time, not waste time.
But remember FC task killer together thats all.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Automatic brightness is good but not battery saving. The screen sensors have to work all the time and keep adjusting brightness. :/
Yes, we cant see anything under the sun. Thats the con.
1 more tip, uninstall useless aps
I have a Samsung Galaxy S running the FASTY ROM, and when I switched over to this ROM, I noticed I went from 6-hour battery life to 2-3 days battery life!
Go to every Apps that has Notification Interval in their setting, it updates in background although not display in the Accounts & Sync
Leave you phone off. Usually gets me unlimited power and run times.

That means you are good in saving battery.
There have been good tips mentioned but I would like to add that all those battery saver apps just do nothing. These kinds of apps are just ads while some of them like juice defender offer androidees a paid version (Ultimate, Pro etc) which is just another trick where it may be useful for lazy guys who can't turn wifi, bluetooth or other connections or apps off themselves!
I haven't actually tried any of ROMs which are told to be effective (like "undervolt") and on this position I must admit that manufacturers' ads for their mobile products are just lies as I have a SGS2 and whenever I start to play a HD game or connect via wifi it just starts to drain the battery times times more than the advertised battery life!
The only and reliable way of saving battery could be just using carefully: HD games for maximum 30-45 min and wifi connection for 2-3 hours. Playing movies or music could be run in a more span of time like 4-5 hours. Otherwise you will have no remaining for calling or necessary usages!

It's true, but other things also affect battery life (many of which the OP mentioned).
However, I just wanna add one thing which I'm sure many of you already know. But the reason I am mentioning it is because I witnessed this work on two Samsung Phones belonging to my friend and his wife: Galaxy Pro & Galaxy Mini (name of the phones, not my friends ).
At first, and on stock rom(not rooted) their battery life was horrible; and by horrible I mean less than 6 hours of usage (<24 hours idle).
I googled it and read somewhere, that fully recharging the phone then draining it completely (until it switches off itself) every day for a few days, the battery life will improve noticeably.
I told them about it; they tried it; and after only 3 days they started to notice the difference. They told me that it really made a difference. Now their battery life is 6-7 hours usage. 48 hours idle.
I know those numbers sound unrealistic but somehow it worked.
I have read this before, and it seems to be a common thing for battery life.
I haven't tried it on my DesireHD because I'm always hopping between different ROMs..
I hope this would be helpful for someone...
... my two cents Cheers!
Nice tips, thanks
Ways to maximize your battery life.
Generally when it comes to battery life I try to use those two tricks which work very well with ICS Roms.
I use ondemandx governor 122-1612MHz with suspend_freq=122MHz.
In order to achieve lowest power consumption in standby. You can tune manually Vdd at 122MHz =suspend_freq to the lowest value.
I also change in /system/buid.prop the value of ro.ril.disable.power.collapse to 0 instead of one by default in order to allow deeper sleep of the air interface.
Over all the type of ROM you are using, the age and capacity of your battery in your device also play a roll in the average time you get out of your device

1612MHz, what rom is that??
updated 29/4/12
Hello,
To monitor what is eating your battery install "system panel" app activate monitor from settings let the phone at list 2h in idle and check monitor history if you have more that 1% on cpu in idle or/and cpu graph dont have many 0 activity then someone is eating your power.
To check who is doing that normaly after installing apps you should monitor this graph. Many apps have bugs and processes try some tasks and eat battery.
To start disable all active installed apps with some tools like titanium etc and enable them 1-2 at the time monitor your battery and so on.
I succeded to make my phone last even 4-6 days at low usage of it.
Also a good ideea is to find an app that can pass to flight mode automaticaly in the night if is not a problem for you.
Good luck to all

i come back with how to make your phone smoother
many kernels for android have more frequencies and governors etc even stock ones
if you want your phone more responsive get a kernel manager which allow to set profiles
when screen off you set lower frequency to min possible and when is on you can try to half of maximum and see how phone works
hope it helps
PS don't blame me if you damage your phone
relating to battery life after test what i said in firs post make sure not to have hardware parts on like bluetooth gps radio etc if not needed these are not seen in the graph from that application
After doing every possible combinations of ROMs and kernels and everything else under the son I have found the recipe for longer battery life and awesome performance all you need is the Deep Sleep Battery saver Greenify app and Go Power Master Hibernate all your apps then go to Go Power Master and make Greenify and Deep Sleep battery saver whitlisted apps schedule it the way you want Deep sleep battery saver that is as too what apps to sync so often or whatever and example I am used to running my phone dead four or five times a day I charged my phone once in two days when I used this combination so forget all those setting your processor to all these different speeds and profiles just use this and you will see the difference BIG difference unless your over clocked to 1.5 GHz or something even charging the phone and talking on it your battery barely drops this is one hell of a combination took a looooot of time to figure this or but works like a charm

If you have Deep Sleep problems, that Deep Sleep Battery really helps, but just turn it off (or freeze it) after waking your phone, since it still runs on background while you're using your phones, and consume some RAM, which we don't wanna...
Go Power Master, hmm... That "Optimization" thing just means "Clear Memory" (Background Memory). So if you have Task Managers who have that function, you can ditch GPM with your own Task Manager, less Apps installed
Greenify. The best so far. Cancels-out stupid background apps that persists (much better with the new version, GSF bye-bye! ). I only stay at my unstable 4.0 ROM for this baby (and also Xposed). If Greenify can be incorp'ed with GB firmwares, that would br awesome, which is not possible...
Additional tips:
• Lessen RAM usage (meaning close other running apps, foreground or background), to lessen CPU pressure.
• "Top-Off" your charging time. Do an extra 15-20 minute charge after 100% charging. If "fills up" the mV capacity , for the best full-battery experience
• If your phone can, Underclock/volt. Even less than a hundred mHz. It save some 15-30minute more juice on your phone. Just Overclock if needed, same as Setting the CPU clock to default.
• There are Rooted phones specializes on battery saving by:
*On Multi-Cores: Stop a core(s) to run. Really helps keep the CPU pressure off.
*Kernel Governors: Smartassv2, Hotplug, blah blah blah.. Search it...
• Limit / Lessen the usage of phone while charging. I don't know why, but I think its to, uhmm... prevent the battery pressure from charging-discharging, i guess!?
• Others are pretty basic. Backlights, GPS, Data, WiFi, Bluetooth... Yeah, no need to explain..

How to extend battery life
Sent from my GT-I9105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It is a gross generalisation, but almost universally the biggest drain on your battery is the screen, therefore the easiest way to reduce battery drain is to turn the brightness down to the lowest setting that you can reasonably live with.
maintain ur battery

it's important to maintain ur battery health make sure u plug device when device is below 20% and fully charge it
This is what I do to minimize battery consumption:
1. Minimize brightness to 20%
2. Set processor frequency lower with apps: No Frills CPU Control (rooted phone). And change it back if I want to play 3D HD Games.
Power saving mode helps too. Turn off wifi and gps when not needed as well.
I suggest use 3rd party apps ( all of these need root acces)
I personally use Rootdim it adjust the brightness your phone uses hardware-level controls to actually control your backlight, saving you energy and making for a higher-quality dim screen.
One Power Guard = protect your battery
wakelock detector
App cache cleaner
All of them can find at google play store for free...
Alternatively, get the perfect combination of rom and kernel to your device...

Let us not imagine a smartphone without battery. Battery is most important part of a smartphone. There is a few cause to drain battery quickly. Like as big LCD display and luscious AMOLED display, and background apps obviously drain your battery quickly. You can do something to make battery for last longer. Let’s see that how to increase battery on your android smartphone.
how save battery life
How android batteries work:
Have you heard that most smartphones have a lithium-polymer either or lithium-ion battery. Both of actually lithium-ion though, and as like, do not have a 'memory', which means that you can charge them from any level – you don't have to fully discharge it before charging it up – and you don't have to charge them all the way to 100 percent.
In fact, lithium-polymer either or lithium-ion types of batteries affected by low voltage problems, so it's actually better to partially charge it (say, from 20 percent to 90 percent) than to fully charge and fully drain tit. Just explore that is it work for you and you can easily increase battery on your Android smartphone.
how save battery life
Using du battery saver apps:
du battery saver is a most powerfully app for save battery.you can use du battery saver for save battery life.for download click here
Black wallpaper can increase battery:
If your phone has an AMOLED display (like as Samsung devices), use a dark-colored wallpaper for background . AMOLED screens only illuminate the colored pixels that’s why Black wallpaper can increase battery life. Black pixels are unlit, so that less power is needed to light them up.
Doze:
With the entrance of Marshmallow came a new feature called Doze, which is helps you get to reduce drain of your battery. , Doze is the most noticeable addition for android Marshmallow. It is allow default and typically permit your device to enter hibernation mode when it has been lock or unused for a long period of time.
Update your apps into latest version:
Keep update your apps with the latest version. The developers constantly update apps for battery and memory optimization. Keeping your apps updated also means you have the best optimizations available
Using Greenify apps:
There are many Android apps that claim that they optimize performance and increase battery life, Greenify is one of them and it’s actually works by preventing them from operating in the background. , which reduces their impact on the system Greenify stops this by sending those apps into hibernation and saving battery life while improving performance.
Reduce auto-brightness:
The screen is a biggest battery drainer. This is one of the best ways to increase your battery life to use auto-brightness manually to a level that is low but comfortable your eyes. And do not use display as auto-brightness mode.
Turn off vibrate and haptic feedback : For save battery turn-off your vibration alerts for incoming call, and turn-of your keyboard vibration and touchpad sound.
Use 'Do Not Disturb' or 'sleep' schedule :
when you are In a meeting , set your device to not ring, vibrate or connect to the internet when you are sleeping you can enable blocking mode to switch off Wi-Fi and mobile data when you don't need them.
For this purpose many phones have a Do Not Disturb setting.
For example you can use airplane mode.
Trun-off unnecessary service:
Whenever you don't need them turn off, Wi-Fi , GPS, Bluetooth, NFC and mobile data,Turning off location. It’s will increase battery on your Android smartphone.
Explore the battery saving features on your phone:
At first Find out the battery saving option in your smartphone and Trun on your bettery saving mode in your android smartphone when you are out of home and not use the phone.
Turn off auto-sync trap:
If you do not need google account update in every 30 minutes, tap into setting to turn-off google account turnoff auto sync and for these app you do not need update. For example email, Facebook, twitter, reddit Instagram etc. just sync when you actually use the app.
I miss something’s? What you have any idea about battery saving tips? Tell me about them in the comments.
I don't, and will never use gapps or any google's apps.
I am experiencing a high and crazy performance using ntfs as androed installation.
I will never burn my money in ext2/3/4 or any ext device.
I will never pay absurds for unrooted phones to rooting only to purge gapps and gogle apps or any other kind of damned apps that stays cooking battery.
My next device, needs be like this screenshot, with ntfs, rooteable, rom choices, or DEATH!
I hate androids.
This is why i preffer write Androed
