Rom or Rom+Kernel with best battery duration known?

So ye, maybe tonight or tomorrow a storm will come and probably will have no electric power, I have 3 batteries but just in case it takes long to get electricity back I wanna know what rom or rom/kernel combination has been proved to be one of the bests battery saver.
I know I might get shot by the search police but I made this new topic cuz roms get updated everytime and old searches can point me out outdated answers, plus I need a quick response since the storm might start tonight, thanks.

There's no definitive BEST. It's all about what you do and how well you manage it. I get pretty great battery life with CM7 and LordMod's kernel. But some people have battery drain issues with cm7 nightlies. It's more about you and your phone. Experiment, try stuff out, see what works best for you.

Thanks I will download CM7 now

I recommend using the Nightly builds, it intimidates some people who are new to CM7 but they are really good and for the most part very stable.

I recommend any aosp build. I'm on miui with the lordmod kernel and you can go days if you turn off data, which isn't necessary in an emergency situation like you are describing .

YO Thanks again, CM7+BFSLordmod with the stable puv gave me 10 hours (data/sync off and screen most of the time off) and it was still at 91%!!! thanks a lot.
Im surprised how leedroid and other sense based roms now drain a lot of batteries! maybe cuz of the new sense, I remember leedroid gave me better battery results in the past similar to cm7.

I'd go with ninja its got better battery life and is even smoother

i need explain about this image, is this normal???? or not
if not normal how can i fixed this???
and what the normal range in ram
THANX FOR YOUR ATTENTION

Hm, its very hard to understand you, but if I got it right: Theres nothing odd about your pictures, the appicons inside the red circle is just shortcuts to the latest used apps, doesn't mean they are running atm.
Your memory used and free in second picture is absolutley normal for stock rom. And you dont really need to kill apps, let the phone handle that it self, it will be fine. Advanced taskmanager is pointless in my opinion.
Be well

If you can get it from Amazon you may even be able to get 2 batteries and a charger for not much more than price of one battery

If you are asking about a better battery, yes like the others before said, try the anker batteries. Great battery for the money.
However if you are indicating that you are loosing charge faster than stock, then you may have a few issues. Either you are using an older version of clockwork recovery or it can be a kernel issue. Both are easily fixable. For clockwork, open up Rom Manager and update that if you haven't already. And for the kernel, try another kernel.

thanx to all
may be you are right
iam try a new kernal but i need a new version and the best from you
also i think i'll buy a battery ( gold battery 2430 )

My preference is plain old stock kernel. Stable and everything works. But the bricked kernels I try from time to time.

Tip..
go to Display settings and lower your screen brightness you will have longer battery Life .

HTC Sensation & ICS Battery Life

Hi.
I have recently bit the bullet and upgraded my sensation to one of the leaked ice cream sandwich roms purely because I fancies a change. My initial impressions were that it was not really offering anything different however one major plus is the battery life as it's definitely better. Not sure what they have tweaked or turned off however its certainly better.
Anyone else noticed any big improvements when running one or three leaks?
Cheers

Yep, I thought the same, I'm running RCMix v2.1 and it seems better than it did with stock, could be an illusion though as I only had it stock for a few days so was constantly using it!

Thats one thing I have noticed, its a nice new look, and battery is a lot better

ty

It is definitely better battery life. I'll post up some stats once I settle on a ROM.

i noticed that,too...and it's on stock kernel,imagine how good it will be when htc releases kernel source and our great devs make them even better

Pretty light usage. 50 minutes screen on time and just 20 minutes of calls. But still 75% at the end of the day is awesome.

I've got the opposite experience, been trying 3 ICS ROM:s so far and the battery life is overall about 2/3 of the latest offical sensation rom release. The standby time has improved, but i watch a lot of videos and the battery then burns about 30% per hour.
I'm on the verge to revert, as it is now I have to charge atleast 2 times a day.

Have you upgraded your firmware to match Billun?
My Sensation worked fine without issue without using the firmware on an ICS build but then I altered to the new ICS firmware and my battery life nearly doubled.

Yes, I did upgrade the firmware aswell.
I've also tried to install the full RUU beta but the battery lifetime is the same.
As it is now I have to charge atleast once every 12 hours.
The standby time is very good but as soon as i start using the phone i can literally see the battery disapper.

I've been using the ICS version of Insert Coin for a couple of weeks, and I've found the battery life to be worse than under Gingerbread. I'm hoping that's just because of the beta nature of the ROM :-/

Flashed recovery file and now only 3g

Ok first off sorry if this has been asked already I looked around but couldn't find anything.
I wanted to see what progress had been made on the lord's 4.0.3 beta so I downloaded the zip. Made a CWM backup and flashed the beta. Then I was finished looking around I wiped/factory reset and the cache. Then used CWM's recovery to get back to my old and stable rom.
I rebooted many times but cant seem to get back my 4gish connection (I'm on AT&T). I checked the radio and its fine.
Please help an explanation as to y would be great. I'm trying to learn as much about this as I can so I can maybe start a little development in my spake time.
Thank you and dry again it this is a repost.

What speeds are you getting? There may be network issues in your area.

I'm only getting about 0.5 to 1.5 mbps. I had averaged around 3.0 and sometimes even up to 5 sometimes before.
Sent from my HTC Inspire

I have the same problem.
I'm starting to think it might be a problem in the build.prop or framework.apk configuration data of Lord's ICS.
I've noticed that I can re-flash my radio to 26.10.04.03_M and get back to HSDPA for like two hours, then it gets stuck in 3G.
I recovered Android Revolution 6.3.1 and it also was stuck on 3G, this worries me that it might be a radio problem.
Still looking for a solution, if I found one I'll let you know.

Thanks
I just flashed Lords v1.5 and my signal is good so far. My download speeds are extremely good compared to what I had before. Averaging around 4-5 mbps! We will see through out the week how it goes though.

Seeing great speeds on V1.5 also. i'm thinking it may be a service issue. I can get 3-4 mbps averaged, and then depending on location from my main tower only 3 blocks away, will see a drop of nearly 50% in speed. then returning to the area will restore speed to normal.
I cant say for sure, but my opinion is that the kernel in "not" the problem...and the current hack kit radio is running just fine also...
I'll monitor for a few days, and post any negative connection issues. (if any)...g

I am using Lord's 2.0 and works just fine in the ogden/ ut area... Two people in UT? lol

[Q] Which ROM's don't have black screen of death

Which ROM's here do not have the issue with the black screen of death? (When the phone will sometimes just not come out of sleep mode sometimes, often when charging or with wifi turned on)
I know that Cyanogenmod has the issue, but what about other ROM's? I'm looking for a nice GB ROM that wouldn't have this issue.

Reborn doesn't do that for me.

Latest baseband, mokee with stock kernel and I never get bsod. I'll have to try with mazouts kernel.

I have not had a BSOD on PA CM10 Build 9, v21y, and Mazouts latest kernel yet. Battery performance could be better though.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried CM10 and didn't like the lack of hardware acceleration. So I'm waiting on CM10.1 for that. Hopefully some of the BSOD issues will be resolved there. In the mean time, looks like I have some ROM's to look at.

SOD is a kernel issue, not ROM.

+1 for a lot of truth in it! It's also phone-dependent. Not all phones experience BSOD's with all kernels. It's an art to mixing and matching the kernel to your phone that gives the best performance. For example, my phone is SUPER-PICKY when it comes to Kernels. I can't OC my phone above 1.2Ghz or the phone will just randomly reboot. Also, ALL kernels cause my phone to BSOD while charging. I have to enable the preference to never let my phone go to sleep while charging. Before you start suggesting solutions to this, I have tried everything from increasing the voltage of the lower frequencies. I have tried eliminating the lower frequencies while sleeping. All of it. My phone is just a PITA when it comes to charging. I can live with it being on all the time while charging.

Yeah being on while charging is no big deal. How do you do this though? I only found a setting to keep the display on for 30 minutes tops in my G2x running CM 7.2.

your welcome
"Well, bust my buttons! Why didn't you say that in the first place? That's a horse of a different color!"

The "Settings-->Applications-->Development->Stay Awake" trick works for me as well. I'm running cm7 -20130201-nightly on the v21y baseband with the 2.6.32.60-mazkrnl.GB kernel. Without the stay awake setting enabled the phone will still freeze but I haven't had the a problem since enabling the setting over two weeks ago. I also have a Titanium Backup schedule set up that alternates between backing up new applications and saving modified data at 3:30am every night with a device reboot for good measure.
This is the first time in the almost two years I've owned the phone that I've been fully satisfied with it. I feel like I can live out the rest of my three year contract with the phone now without a problem. I guess the note 2 (or a sony xperia device, I can't decide) will have to wait, my G2X still has some fight in it yet.
I must also note that I have never had an issue with any of the ics of jb ROMs. The last ROM I was running was "[Dez 30] [P999][ROM][CM10] ParanoidAndroid v2.56 Hackfest JB [build9beta]." I used it for over a month but the lack of a decent camera, no video recording ability, wifi drain, general battery drain and battery indication problems eventually became too much. The ROM itself was stable as a rock but the small issues become too much after a while.
