So i recently flashed elementalX on stock rom on nexus5.So far idle battery drain is awesome it is 1%overnight(11pm-5am).I have attached the screenshot.On franco i used to get about 12%overnight drain with same apps installed.so my question basically is "What is the secret behind this cool idle drain on elementalX kernel??"
Aliens...
You should better ask that in the official ElementalX thread.
But yes, battery life on this Kernel is awesome. As is everything else with it.
hmm.. i dont use elementalx yet i stll get less than 1% drain overnight. im assuming that you never ran trinity kernel, where idle drain barely exists. anyways, its not kernel, its your setup.
Nexus5 SoT
well i guess we will never uncover the mystery behind this....btw 1 more thing "how can i get
6-7hrs of SoT on Nexus5...which rom,kernel,uv,etc setup should i use??

I've been running MIUI for a couple of weeks now and I am seeing server battery drain for no reason. I see people posting 12 - 24 hours but I can barely get through 6 -8 hours without seeing a drastic death in battery life.
Also and I'm not sure if this may matter or not but when charging with the phone off my battery tends to charge incredibly fast.
Not sure what the issue is.
Try a different kernel that's my opinion
Kernel right now is 2.6.35.130 Trinity. Can you recommend another
.13 kernel is old in a way try to flash either fauxs or Showp kernel make sure there the cm7/aosp
I am on the latest miui 1.12.23. i have exellent battery life with there kernel. they have updated the kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295200&page=598 scroll down and dowload from pimp and be sure to clear cache and dalvik. and to help battery life install system tuner or setcpu from the market. i use system tuner. i think it works better than setcpu. Also download a battery calibration from the market. helped me alot on battery. hope this helps.

can you please define "amazing battery life"
Stupid question but have you cleared your battery stats file? While I was on MIUI (11.11) I was getting up to 24hrs easily (2450mAh battery) with normal usage

36-48 hours with normal/heavy use
relatively a noob with this stuff... first time poster...
so i just updated to franco kernel milestone3 via the FK app.
I'm running liquid toro v1.25 on a verizon Gn
I just bought a new battery and was priming it ... I drained fully, charged, and I'm on my second cycle of draining the battery.
I decided to update my kernel and did so through the FK app. worked great (hats off to franco and the community)
So once it updated and rebooted.. I notice my battery life went from 23% to 53%
not complaining but wondering why?
Did me updating the kernel affected the battery somehow
or is the kernel that much better that it's draining that much less
thanks-
So My OPO Runs Lollipop for the last three months, and battery life was never great.
I've heard that kernels can fix it and give me 8-10 hours screen on time.
flashed franco, metallized, tyr, tgm and changed the profiles with kernel auditor but it just doesn't do anything except make the phone run slower.
does anyone have this issue too?
P.S
I'm currently running cm12.1 nightly and metallized Nev8 and struggle to get 4 hours SOT

Same here, exodus made it a little better. My average screen usage is 4hours then the battery is a nearly zero (having lg watch r always connected to the phone)
Tried BlissPop, CM unoffical by jgcap, cm12 nightly, all result in the same. I also switched from chrome to opera to reduce battery usage, it gives me ~30min more screen on time.
Since I'm playing Hearthstone the battery life is 19-20hours, because Hearthstone drains so much.
I could never pump out more than 5h SoT on my opo. Right now I'm getting around 3h before I need to charge it . I'm on stock Cyanogen on 12. I've tried exodus etc and it's all the same :/ My usage isn't even that heavy, I don't play any games at all so I'm sure this is either a rom issue or faulty hardware issue not sure. Is there any setting/rom you guys recommend ? I was thinking about going back to Kitkat but which version has the best battery life ? Thanks and I appreciate any help whatsoever
PS: I disabled the Google services battery drain.

hello dev
i advice you of using this rom
resurrection remix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-resurrection-remix-lp-5-2-0-t2971715
at the moment i'm using it and it's perfect not a single problem mem leak or battery
:good:
Exodus should give you a hell of a battery life. I have heard nothing but good stuff about that ROM. I myself have not used it yet, but I'm planning to.
I get between 4,5 - 6 hours SOT with AK kernel and v1.9 of real_pac's synapse settings. I also use greenify.
Try rooting your phone and add these additional tweaks, your battery life should be much better!
I am rooted and everything. I was on exodus but it was as good as cm12 nightlies :/ Resurrection I have tried too and i only got 3h SoT I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong unfortunately . I'll try to use greenify and I'll report back
I feel you, never got more than around 3 hours of SOT. Brightness is always below 50 percent, I turn off gps when I dont use it, 3G/wifi all day long. Im running exodus as some people said it had amazing battery life, but don't really see a difference. I am rooted with he paid version of greenify + the paid version of amplify, and the power nap xposed module aswell as privacy guard on google play services. Yet I never ever even get close to the 4-9 hours SOT which some people seem to get. I really don't understand it either..
what's the awake time on your Android System or Android OS? I think I'm in the same boat, flashed BlissPop and RenderUber and left it idle with no additional settings or apps installed, then come back to it and find a good chunk of battery life gone. Both roms had Android System using 1hr of awake time.
Then I installed BBS on both roms, found nothing. Google Play Services wake up permission is disabled in Privacy Blocker, haven't installed Greenify or Servicely yet but just wondering why on stock settings there'd be such a heavy drain.
Update:
Just found something interesting. The battery drain now is just pathetic. Powered up my phone, left it idle for 30 seconds and reboot. Bam, 1% of battery life gone. Repeated this 5 times in a row, every time the phone reboots, 1% of battery will drop. It doesn't drop right after, it sometimes drop after the phone idles for about 1~2 minute but that's just insane.

This is completely normal, the boot process is very intensive and consumes more battery than if your phone was just sitting idle, or even being used normally.

For those of you desiring a phone with +6h SoT. Revert back to cm11s and be happy with your SoT. I did two days ago and I have no regrets. Running amplify with greenify simultaneously and I'm getting around 7h SoT.
I've tried some of the kernels which are produced for S6 (G920F) in xda but after a while battery life gets worse and worse. It sometimes gets so bad that while screen is off (just music plays) battery level decreases and I can't understand the reason from the "Battery Usage" screen in settings. I know, it's related with both ROM and kernel, but I'm using Alexis ROM (and arter97 version 20.0) nowadays and I love it. Can you offer me the best kernels about power efficiency?
I'm using arter's kernel v20 too, but with Xtestrolite ROM and have quite a good battery life, playing Spotify all day and doing moderate browsing.
Do you find Alexis ROM better for battery life? Haven't tried it yet.
It's not worse than XtreStoLite ROM but I can't say better than it. How many hours SOT for you? Can you upload a screenshot here when your battery is at %1 or somewhere like that so that I can analyze how is your usage and is it efficient.
I can only do it on Thursday tho, got no time until then. Will edit once I get the screenshots. Also, I'm on Xtrestolite 3.2, not latest, too lazy to update.
