I'm not to worried about speed as the nexus s seems way faster then my old vibrant. So which rom kernel is everyone running to get the best battery life!
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
kernel: Netarchy's 1.3.0.5-CFS for sure.
ROM: i use CM7 and battery life is fine for me.
the biggest battery saver is to use BLACK colors. they don't use any power on super amoled screens (applies to I9020 models only)

Didn't get me battery life I was expecting. After thirteen hours I'm at 15%

what was your freq range and governor? have you tried UVing with netarchy's kernel?

There are also other things to consider, such as:
Account Sync
3G/Mobile data
WIFI
Bluetooth
livewallpaper
widgets
screen brightness
Task - Manager,WatchDog.... and many others...
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

You are complaining for getting 1.5 days?? Tha hell?? I wish I had those 1.5 days, I only get like 6 hours!!

yeah, my previous phone was a 5-day battery phone lol thats why... anw i use 2g very little thats perhaps the reason why i last 1.5days...

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, going on a trip soon and need a ROM with good battery effiency. I'm now running InsertCoin Evolution 1.91 and the battery drains pretty quickly so I'm wondering: what's the best ROM regarding battery life time? Sensation XE btw.
Thanks
What kernel do you use?
Try bricked with badass belance, no GPU OC, if you want better battery life underclock to 1GHz it doesnt lag and got pretty decent battery life with it. Dont change screen off freq.
And i recommend you to undervolt, -50v is good, i use about -75 now and its pretty stable.
I used to get more than 20h with 1.56GHz max.
Edit: i use stock z710e battery which is 1520mAh

Thanks, will try that.
The kernel I'm using atm. is 3.0.30-Bricked.3.0-v1.1-g5a2b328shpå[email protected] ) null

Does someone mind posting the lowest values u can under volt to?

Depends on the phone. Some can push -75, some only -50. Just gotta try it and see.

Tbh i doubt it matters much how much you UV, i'm sure I read an article awhile ago that said uv actually didnt extend battery life at all

If you decrease the voltage needed for one freq, it means the cpu needs less power and it means more battery life
Use system tuner pro, its easy and safe

Well, it technically does, because less voltage means less current, both of those mean less power. (Literally, Current * Voltage = Power, fun fact). However, the increase in battery life is marginal at best, so it doesn't actually benefit.
Power ~ V^2 * f. Voltage has more effect than frequency, both have some effect.
Forget power equations, battery's are capacitors so lets use capacitor equations!
Rate of discharge is proportional to Q/R.
I=V/R so 1/R=I/V
Therefore rate of discharge is proportional to I/V. Ohms law states as one goes up so does the other.
So technically undervolting has no effect?!

Think about that for a minute, if that were the case, why do you think modern processors use lower and lower driving voltages? Your logic is flawed.
"Dynamic frequency scaling by itself is rarely worthwhile as a way to conserve switching power. Saving the most power requires dynamic voltage scaling too, because of the V2 component and the fact that modern CPUs are strongly optimized for low power idle states."

I use this one and its pretty efficient!!
[ROM][JUN.20][ICS][AOKP-CM9]HyperSensation-v2.8
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610209
I've been using paranoidandroid, and some opensensation versions before that, which all suffered from batterydrain. From what i've read that should be fixed now. What i've read is that in theory aosp could be more batteryefficient.
In addition, for aosp, there now is faux, tamcore, and showp's bricked, kernels available.
I used to use virtuous inquisition, its senseless and really great on battery! I think it's been the best battery efficient Rom by far in my opinion. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that. I was thinking the exact same thing. If everything is proportional, and it is, then decreasing one variable (voltage) should decrease everything else.
I found the virtuous inquisition rom quite good if you ask me but it all depends on your usage as well no one can help if your using your phone like crazy
Swyped From My Sensation.
Is hypersensation and hypernonsense good batt life roms.

I'm running viper 2.3.2 and elemental 3.0 kernel. Battery life is ok. I'm thinking its s2w. Can anyone confirm?

s2w will affect battery life because the phone has to monitor the capacitive buttons. Try turning it off and seeing if your battery life improves.
I am using Elemental and my battery is about average but I'm oc'd and have s2w on.

How much battery does sweep2wake use? Is it worth it to enable it or does it just totally kill the battery? Is it possible to also screw up the screen with it too?

I tried the TouchControl app. Even if this kind of features is cool the battery drain was too important imo. I don't remember the exact percent but it was important enough to uninstall this app.
I didn't try yet the built-in feature from custom kernels though.
Finally there's no risk for your screen.
