Hi,
Sometimes it takes a couple of cycles (charge/discharge) for a battery to settle.
Alternatively,try a different kernel.

I know they are still working on the Rom .perhaps the battery life will get better as the Rom is upgraded? I'm not sure the recommended kernel for that particular Rom , this could be you need to try a different kernel? Once you have enough posts here ask on developers page the recommended kernel for battery life., this should help a bit. Also you can try juice defender it might help a bit too .as mentioned above it takes some time for a new Rom to "settle" in sometimes .this could also be the issue. Also some roms are better than others at battery conservation. Check your settings make sure nothing is draining battery and set them accordingly. Hope this helps. Best wishes

[Q] Linaro Pound [4.4] [CM11] I9003 Rom issues

Hello guys,
I was looking for flashing the Pound Linaro Rom by @LoLaTiOn. But I suspect the battery backup is low in that. Can someone give me reviews about this rom. I am kinda new to this so need a lil help. Though I have been following the dev thread for the same, but wanted few answers before flashing it as I cant post in dev thread.
Please any help would be appreciated :fingers-crossed: :good:

I see many ppl using Linaro Rom..I really need to know if it is stable and good for daily use..currently I am on Carbon-JB-v 1.8 [4.2.2]. But I dont get much of a battery backup. My main usage is calls, whatsapp n music. Apart from battery i face a familiar issue that while listening to music it gets hanged suddenly n player doesnt respond anymore. I ultimately have reboot it twice to make it work which is very annoying as I am hard core music lover ..So I actually want to know if Linaro (which many r appreciating) or any rom in JB with good battery life n no prob with playing music is available or not.
I am a noob here so need a lil help from u guys:good: Please give me some suggestions n reviews

Hi, everything seems to work and untill know it is the best rom for me! I did face with nasty SOD`s and these are gone to NOT let the processor run at 300Mhz (use a CPU app for that). When Cpu is set to minimum 600Mhz there are no problems with SOD. Short battery lenght is an issue. I hope the new version will fix it.

[Q] Which Rom Has the Best battery life?

Well, title says it all. Which ROM so you guys recommend for the best battery? Excluding the stock ROM of course! Tell me your SetCpu / Performance Control profile! ( This counts as a question does it?)

There's no such thing. Better battery life is completely dependant on you. Since we all use our phones in our own unique ways, battery life will be different for everybody regardless of the ROM.
That being said there are a few great threads that will show you how to get the most out of your battery on ANY ROM. Look up T.J. Bender's thread The Total Newb's Guide to Wakelocks and/or Insanely Better Battery Life When Idle by Skipjacks. They're well worth your time if you want your battery to last longer.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Thanks for your reply!

Thanks for the reply. I know the battery varies depending on the user, I was just trying to ask and see if what other people are getting on other custom roms. As you can see there are a lot of Roms in out dev thread, picking out one thats good is hard enough xD. Trying to compare better/ smooth roms with other ones. And btw I was not asking how to improve it xD

Jelly Bean Leak 3 :good:
I have tried them all...
Sorry But Kexec doesnt play well with the battery
And non-kexec ones have heavy Bugs
So after a year of wandering and flashing...i came to the conclusion that JB Leak3 has the best battery backup...atleast on my phone .....:good::good:
If you are counting Leak 3 as stock...I have heard JBX 1.0 Kernel gives a long battery life...however i havent tried it personally....So go ahead do some searching and flash any custom rom and then the JBX 1.0 kernel over it...

Thanks! I'll try that!

I tried alot of roms. All of them are really good but with no luck, kexec doesnt become pals with my battery xD. I tried JBX too! I also saw posts that it helps out alot. JB leak can be flashed with JBX?? 0_0 I always thought JBX kernel is for 4.2 + roms...

You're right, JBX won't load on the jb leaks because it requires a based kexec ROM.

I'd love to hear more from swaggy what his suggestion would be for the best battery life
bonus point if someone can explain this jbx stuff. thanks

That first question has been answered here:

And JBX has been thoroughly explained by the original developer in the JBX thread over in the development section. Read over that and ask relevant questions there. :thumbup:

I apologize for being disagreeable but my experiences with the ROMS suggests there is more to the story then a blanket statement about how much you use your phone determining the battery life you will have.
thank you for your suggestion to look at the jbx thread

No need to apologize. My experience has been that there's tons of things (apps, scripts, mods, kernels, CPU settings, etc) that will make battery life better regardless of the ROM and tons of things (rogue apps, CPU settings, poor data signal, wakelocks, etc) that will make it worse regardless of the ROM. With all of the variables and available options it doesn't seen to me that someone can simply pin good or bad battery life on the ROM, alone.

CyanogenMod battery life

hey guys. I just bought an Nexus5(well...like 1 motnh ago actually) and I realized that I think I like CyanogemMod better then the default android(used cyanogen mod on my Galaxy S1 for 3 years).
My question is, how is the battery life on CyanogenMod compared to the stock default android 4.4.2 rom that nexus comes with?
Thnx in advance.

There's no good answer to your request imo.
You should check this out to have an idea of the average battery life. (or have a look at CM11's thread)
For instance you can install more apps thanks to root permissions so you will be able to install more apps and use more battery but it doesn't mean that the battery life is worse.
One advantage is that you can try different kernels and settings to find the best configuration as per your needs.

As with any battery life comparison, it's almost impossible to answer properly because there are far too many variables.
You'll get various answers saying it's much better / worse / the same. Ultimately the responses will be of limited value to you, because everyone's usage is different.
Thankfully you can always backup and try something out. Revert if if makes things worse.
Find out what's best for YOUR usage and preference, not someone else's...
And repeat this for every device / ROM / kernel combination

Battery life is what you make of it. I can make my phone last 8 hours or around a day and a half.
to prolong battery life I recommend turning off mobile data and sync when not in use. You can look into tasker (I think) to turn it on at specific times. Quick tiles help out or the app "power toggles" which I use

Ok, thnx guys. I think I will make an nanDroid backup and install cyanogen mod and see what happens.

Cyanogen is well known but don't forget that we have other awesome roms
Flashing and testing is the solution.

Best rom for the S6? (From a battery perspective)

Hi
What is the best rom from a battery perspective right now and how much will it increase battery life? Right now I get 3-4 hours on 4g and 5-7 hours on Wifi on stock, rooted with greenify. Will a lite rom help even more on battery? Also, which would you say is the best right now and why?
Thanks in advance

Questions like these(best rom bla bla) are not tolerated every rom here is a result of hardwork and efforts from devs which are all unique in their own ways, would suggest you to try and use what you like.

You won't notice a difference in battery life from Stock to custom, except maybe a decrease due to wake bugs maybe.
Your battery life is pretty good.
Rule of thumb, ROM's might allude to having better battery life than others, but they almost certainly do not.

Well no idea either. I asked what the best rom was from a BATTERY perspective. Some are for speed, others battery and some features.
I fully understand they're all hard work.

Uhmm... The community? Well as far as I see now there is no such issue's in the Galaxy S6 forums, I come from the Galaxy S2 community where any similar questions(literally anything that started with BEST ROM...) are flamed by other members and occasionally outright locked or removed by the moderator's.
I myself never had an issue with those kind off question though.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

The question is pretty much not answerable for a number of reasons.
People get different results due to how they use their phones and what software the load and run on the same ROM, and to answer your question someone would have had tried all the available roms for enough time to form an opinion.
Lastly, this is a general S6 forum so people here are using all kinds of different variants of the S6 making the comparison even less likey.
I have a stock rooted ROM and am quite pleased with the battery usage on it, YMMV.

Based on what? Reaching 8+ hours SOT? If no, then the answer for now is XtreStoLite.

In theory, the lightest ROM with the least amount of bloatware may extend your battery life. But in reality, phone usage is the main culprit of battery life. I have tried different ROMs with my old S3 trying to extend its battery life. But in the end my efforts are in vain as I put too much work for a very little gain of less than 30 mins. This also applies to the S6. Modifying usage (i.e. turning wifi/bluetooth when not in use, working with dimmer screen, etc...), buying extra battery or powerbanks and chargers for charging on the go and anywhere all did the trick of preventing phone usage interruption due to a drained battery.
