To help sort out good nightlies from buggy ones, please post your best choice CM7 nightly here. This will help others who want to test nightlies to try out good ones for best time utilization.
CyanogenMod-7-110819-1459-NIGHLY-Jordan
I prefer this one.
Battery consumption is very high, 12 hours maximum.

Happily using 0826, no issues. Its pretty hard to have a decisive recommendation as users are running so many different apps and configurations..
last boot179-4 1650-i forgot date...august ???
This seems to the correct thread to ask this question. I have tried few nighties randomly dome are very stable and some are not. But none of them have given exceptional battery life. Has anyone come across a stable nightly with great battery life.

have you Undervolted? That can give you the battery life you are looking for.
cm7-110716-0105-BOOT179-Jordan.zip
Hi,
I can recommend this version:
cm7-110716-0105-BOOT179-Jordan.zip
This version runs perfekt with very long battery life and works perfekt for me (cam, gps, wlan, battery...). But it is only version 2.3.4. I use this rom since a few weeks and I have no problems.

Ok, even am hunting for that, and i found 110814 wrking very good for me.
Its 2days,5hr, still 55% left
In my case, my sim was 6yrs old, so replaced it with new1 and that has given me better battery.
my configuration: check this thread

And thanks to cm7defy devs for making such a wounderful rom.
...110822 boot179-4 nightly, very stable, works like a charm!
From main CM7 thread:

Besides that, I've tested the 110822-1650 nightly for a week now and I get 4d6h37m (4% left) on battery, love it!
3G and sync always on, a few calls, some surf, mail und sms, say normal use

I really doesn't understand this "myth" of the "best nightly"...
As far as I can tell the development is pretty much straight forward, and the best version is always the last - with bugfixies and new features who will get their bugfixies in a later version.
the best version is not necessarily the last one, we all have seen pretty screwed up nightlies. but now im using 110822 boot179, and i havent noticed any bugs yet, and it runs smooth, no lags, very good battery life.

Software dev is not that straight forward. With an OS it is actually hugely complex and anything changed might have unexpected consequences. The idea of posting here is to ID those ones that get a consistent good report.
I am currently on 110826-2119- NIGHTLY-Jordan.
Can I flash 0822 boot179-4 nightly directly on top of this and clear Dalvik and cache or is there any other procedure.....

jep, can confirm the high battery consumption on this nightly...
but would say that it's not the best rom at all
Well... I wait everyday for the latest nightly... And I can say I'm happy everyday. Haven't seen a sensive decrease in battery life ou system stability in any of the nightlys, only improvements
I update my defy with latest nightly version every ten days; I can't find any obvious issue yet.

Hey everyone, I'm new here, as well as the "rooting community."
Well, here's the story. I rooted by HTC Sensation 4G and installed CyanogenMod 7.1 on it. My battery life has been very strange ever since. Sometimes it lasts forever on a single battery percent and then other times it rapidly drops. What causes this?
Also, the file attached is what my battery usage looks like.
(sorry I am restricted to posting the image link)
Why is it like this? Normally (before root), the display is at the top of the list.
Finally, if anyone could give tips (I know this is not the right section, but why make 2 topics?) on extending CyanogenMod's (or a rooted device, in general) battery life. I already have SetCPU profiles.
Thanks!
I had the same problem a few weeks ago. The massive battery drain was caused by a modem I flashed before with a different kernel.

What do you mean by modem?
There are different modems you may flash. Have a look at the android development sections.
Or maybe there are several background processes running.

I used to get about 24hours on my international version S4 running ICS while running a 3G connection,and a good amount of screen usage.
Ever since the JB update(i updated within 2 days of its release), battery life dropped to 9 hours max, and it has been incredibly difficult to live it.
I switched to TrickDroid 9.1 hoping for better battery life. I then turned off Google Now permanently but i am still not getting more than 9 hours of battery life.
Has my battery been spoilt completely? Has its life reduced because ive been running jelllybean for so long now ? Is there anything i can do to fix this ? Or has this got something to do with Sense 4+ ?

I got this phone (S3) with Jb already installed in it, so dont know the difference in battery timings with ICS or JB. But one thing is sure the battery life of this phone (seems with Jb, coz i read the same thing on some other forums as well) is quite poor. I also get less time on battery. Though i have auto sync on for some accounts like gmail, but still battery time shd not be that poor. Hopefully it will be resolved in some next updates. :S
Also i m facing sound issue (posted in other thread in this forum with Jb). Dont know whether this sound issue is only with few handsets or with all One S (having Jb).

What might be a solution for you both is installing a custom kernel
I'm running dark jelly cm10.1 rom in combination with bubba kernel v2.7, and with the right settings I get awesome battery life.
I can really reccomend switching to aosp rom like dark jelly in combo with this kernel.
Or check out xda forums for sense kernels to combine with trickdroid rom, like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851841
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
The kernel you listed is for 4.0.4 based ROMs.
Anyway, i already have the kernel for TrickDroid.
I'll switch to a non-sense ROM and see if things get better.
I recently purchased this phone, and have been appalled by the battery life, it's atrocious. I also seem to have a bug with Maps that keeps draining me, even though I don't use any location services, etc. So now, I'm going to install a new rom, and see if my battery improves significantly. My question is, which rom is the best with battery life? There is no point in having this fancy phone if you can't use it because the battery is dead before you even get out of work and it's just been sitting in your pocket -_-, this is what happened to me.
Right now I'm downloading CleanROM 6r2, latest build. I do intend on flashing it later tonight and testing how the battery level is, and if it still declares I'm roaming when I'm obviously not.
Right now I'm stock, rooted and bootloader unlocked I have no put any roms on the phone as of yet, but battery is terrible regardless. My brother has the same phone, same carrier and same battery issues albeit, not nearly as detrimental as mine.
Thanks in advance. If CleanROM is the best with battery life thus far that would be great. I'd like to try 4.2.2, but hear it's got terrible battery life?
Sorry to be the first to say that "what's the best Rom" is frowned on around here
You really need to find out what works best on your phone through reading and testing.
However just to point you in the right direction. clean Rom has never let me down and synergy can sleep like a baby
Finally I'd think it is safe to say aosp Roms will never compare to battery on tw
They can still be very good but for your purpose you may have better luck else where.
God bless the American people
You could just freeze maps if you are not using it.

95% battery life is controlled by the Kernel, not the rom. The other small 5% can contribute to battery such as odex vs deodex, quick boot up. Also, I'm not going to bring in user settings control such as screen brightness, apps sync intervals etc.. I'm talking about if we have 2 devices with the exact same setup, the kernel is where it makes a diff in battery saving.

This ^^. I thought about it, but its just too big and intrusive.
Besides, my phone shouldn't die idle in my pocket. My brothers AT&T S3 stayed on for 3 days without usage, mine died in under 8 hours.
Anyway, I do understand that "what is the best" is frowned upon. I've been around a little while, I'm just not very active. I really wanted more of a general answer regarding user feedback with certain roms, or experiences maybe.
Also, regarding the kernel that is news to me, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. I guess I can redirect my search to a kernel.
I do want to report though that my battery life has improved significantly I think than what it was before. Granted the rom was just installed today and has already died, I used it very heavily today though as opposed to the very minimal usage that killed it previously. I wont for certain until I get back to school and have it idle around for a while.
I'll check out Synergy if I'm not impressed, although CleanROM right now has fixed the MAPS issue I was experiencing. It no longer shows it as something that's killing my battery and I left all the settings the same as they were. So that tells me it was an obvious bug in my software specifically or something of that nature. So far so good.
P.S., did you personally have better life with Synergy over CleanRom?
Btw, I have always maintained a modest setup on my phone that should improve battery life. Low screen brightness, no WIFI unless I need it, no mobile data unless I want it or need it. I never checked on sync intervals though, I'll have to do that.^_^
It all depends on the kernel and its setting. My experience so far is that I overall get good battery life with LeanKernel, GalaxyKOR, KT kernel regardless what ROM I use. I also use DS Battery Saver in Slumberer mode. At one point after fully charging my phone I left the screen off for 8 hours woke up it went from 100 % to 97%.
I'll check out DS battery and some of those kernels. What is your primary ROM? I'm digging CleanRom right now.

Will this battery fit the same as stock?

I recommend just trying diff roms and diff kernels and just see what works best for you. I am currently using Jelly Beans build 13 with LeanKernel and I have really good battery life.

Went ahead and flashed lean kernel v 1.10 now my phone wont boot up. I get 2 Samsung Galaxy logo's then it turns back off. ?
In the process of restoring a backup I made. Is there something wrong with the way I approached things? I simply put the zip on my sd card, and flashed it in CWM

So my backup saved me. After that I went through file directory for leankernel and seen nothing about 1.10 haha, so I guess I downloaded something wrong. Now I'm going to try flashing 2.1 will report.
Edit: So, I did flash the wrong kernel on accident. New 2.1 kernel worked for me this time.

Leankernel has an TW and AOSP version. Good thing you did a backup.
Download Better Battery Stats to better track down your wakelocks. Besides that I don't really think there is anything that can be significantly improved going from ROM to ROM. 4.2.2 ROMs are starting to rival TW in terms of battery life. The biggest battery killer is low signal. If you are in a building or on the edge of a service area having your phone constantly switching towers or going from 3g/4g really eats up the battery.

There are Touchwiz and AOSP versions of Lean Kernel. Look in the original development section and flash the appropriate one for your ROM.

I purchased the 7000mah battery and lost my data connection when I was away from my house. I asked around and it's a known bug, but a lot of people don't care because the battery lasts so long. I have the 4200 hyperion and 4400 Anker and love the Anker... as a back cover, I use Seidio's cover because the ones that come with Anker and Hyperion are crap.
On my phone, I have used almost all the TW and AOSP ROMs.... For me, CleanRom gets the best battery. I am not into messing with my performance settings, I don't find it helps all that much and causes more problems than it's worth. With the Anker battery, I go through about 35% battery per day... if I let my phone get down to 5% battery life left, I usually have somewhere around 6 hours of screen time. For me, that's plenty.
Hello everyone I have just joined this forum about two days ago. I own a oneplus one which i found to be one of the finest smartphones until CM12 came along. It seems to me that CM12 ruined battery life of the oneplus. With CM11 battery life was much better, even charging time was not more that 2hrs max. Now I have read the forums that many oneplus owners experienced the same issues.
Now the thing is that I do not have any experience in how to root my my phone or install kernels and other stuff. Is there anything that would help my phone to have a similar battery life of CM11?
Thanks

I take it you haven't unlocked your boot loader yet?
Unfortunately 5.0+ seems to be a bit poorer in the battery dept for most people. Most are hoping 5.1.1 helps the battery life, if not we'll have to hope for android M whenever that arrives. If you had an unlocked b/loader and custom recovery you could tryout some custom roms. Or even flash a 4.4.4/kitkat rom as many (including myself) have done. I had installed multirom and have been running COS12 as the main rom and CM11S on the secondary. The battery life was/is so much better, I was hitting 5-6hrs screen on time over 2days from a full charge, with lollipop I was hitting 4-5hrs screen on time over 1-1.5 days at a stretch., the standby drain is also a lot more.
If you havent already done so you could try checking privacy guard and denying wake up and keep awake permissions to google play services or anything else that seems to be active a lot in the background that you think shouldnt.

No I never unlocked anything. the phone is just unrooted. What I only is just change themes, which seems also to be buggy. So is it possible to revert back to CM11s? Are COS12 and CM12 the same or different please?

It isnt possible without unlocking your bootloader, see the below guide if you want to look at that option. It seems a lot of hassle but once its unlocked, thats it, it wont lock again unless you specifically go through running a command to do so. As an added advantage you can install a custom recovery which will allow you to make a full nandroid backup, which you can keep on your device or copy over to your PC. You can use this if you ever run into any problems or if you want to try out some other roms, you have the option to go fully restore your last setup.
I dont think I've had any issues with themes, is it one in particular or all, what happens?
I believe we are referring to the same thing, COS12 (Cyanogen OS 12) is what the oneplus one runs out of the box (stock Cyanogen OS). CM12 which is what it also gets called can also mean the CM12/12.1 nightlies, which can be flashed like a custom ROM and are considered the most up to date (on the bleeding edge if you like).
