Overall, I am pretty disappointed in the battery life, and I think it is mostly due to the ROM. Any suggestions?
Uhmmmmmmmm first of all which ROM are you using? I have the a customized LG stock ROM with all the bloatwares removed and it's been okay. I also tried CM 11 before and it was good as well.

Hey guys,
is there a rom with a better battery life than stock rom?
What is the rom with the best battery life?
Thanks for your help!
I tried both paranoid android and cyanogenmod for a few days. Paranoid is very good for battery life, but I don't really think it's that much better than stock.
I'm running stock right now and I'm perfectly happy with it
I have found that stock gives the best battery life, which can be further improved by using Greenify. Currently getting 2 - 3 days with average usage.
I am trying to get some information about custom ROMs and battery life, especially for LG G2. I have used other custom roms on other phone and some of those ROM seem to harder on battery life than the stock ROM. For my next LG G2 rom that I use I want make sure I balance features vs battery life.
Any stats about battery life on LG G2 roms would be help.
Anecdotally I can report nightlies of CM12 have been giving me worse battery life than the stock LG/T-Mobile 5.0.2 Lollipop ROM. I have no metrics to prove this however.
Hey I'm looking for the closest to stock ROM with the best battery life. Im not sure if i should stay stock and rooted (6.0.1) and go with franco kernel or switch to CM 13 (CAF?)...or something else even.
Id say my usage is about average, minimal usage while working, probably less than an hour talk time per day. Maybe 1-2 hours of screen on using various apps (browser, light games, news apps). Generally i make it through a day with about 20-25% left before i goto bed and plug it in to charge every night.
However when i do make more use of it the battery seems to deplete pretty fast. Ideally i would just like better battery life, its the primary reason i havent upgraded the phone yet. I dont need a faster phone, i need one that gets significantly better battery life.
Any recommendations would be great. Thanks

Your mileage will vary greatly depending on usage and what apps you use.
I have personally found that a good kernel is the key to good battery life. I'm a fan of Cataclysm and ElementalX personally.
Best battery life is with stock rom + stock kernel. Before i used custom kernels, but over a week now i have used stock rom with stock kernel and i must say that i get better battery life than before with customs. IMO.
I'm currently using stock MM rom and I'm not really pleased with the battery life so far. I can't last a day with a full charge and the battery drains somewhat fast. Call it placebo but I really think there's something not right. I tried doing a factory reset before but the results are still the same. Now my question is, would rooting and flashing a custom rom perhaps help alleviate the battery life situation by a bit. Maybe say some kernel has better battery performance or so? I don't want to root my phone just for the sake of testing it out. I hope someone could provide some real experiences with the performances of custom roms so far. Thanks!
Rooting didn't do much to mine. Not even using Greenify
I have a GM1913
Looking for an Android 10 based custom rom that has particularly good standby/SoT. It needs to be stable and relatively bug-free to be used as a daily driver
Nice to have:
> Gapps not preinstalled
> Launcher that has removable search bar
> NOT preinstalled with a lot of custom apps
I dont care about:
> Updates
> Performance (as long as its not slower than stock)
> Super extensive customization options
I appreciate all suggestions, but PLEASE provide complete information like any custom kernals and apps you are using that does not come pre-applied with said custom rom. I am looking for good standby/SoT that is directly attributable to the rom and not what has to be done after installing the rom.
Thanks
try carbon rom
You get nothing like stock SOT on custom roms. Use search feature since ur nitpicky and try different roms urself. It's a much better/fun experience than you making a thread about asking since ur learning on the way. Usage is different from person to person, also everyone have different taste. You can't find the perfect one until you tried them all. Since I have already been a little hard on you I'm going to answer your question my way. If I would use anything other than stock on this phone these days it would be EvolutionX for decent performance and enough features to make it stand out from other. Pixel Experience for the maximum Pixel-feeling if I just want to feel relaxed and at the same time do unrooted. Otherwise stock it is, you will go back sometime later, since it just can't be beaten. Good luck.

I get 9-12 SOT with RR and Havoc roms and perfect standby. I can leave phone off charger at night and loose only 1% or less of battery
I second Ressurection remix. It's the 1st custom rom I've flashed. Battery life seems to be on par with stock oos imo.

Ice Bear gets the exact same SOT on RR @1440p forced 90hz and the same standby drain of 1% overnight. The OnePlus 7 Pro also stays very cool compared to on OOS 10. Such a feat was possible on OOS 9.
