I think you should look into a battery saving app, such as Juice Defender. I can't vouch for others but I do know that Juice Defender even in the basic free form, shuts off the radio when the screen is off preventing your phone from searching for a signal when there is none, that also prevent apps from using data when you don't need them to.

ROMs with good battery life vary because it depends how you use your phone but ROMS i recommend are..
ParanoidAndroid
AEON 1.4
CyanogenMod 7,9, and 10
those are some of the many just look around threads.

[Q] Best rom for ingress gaming?

Hey guys! Digging out my old Nexus S since I broke my N4.
What is the best rom for playing ingress on? Performance + Battery wise? CM11 is really slow and laggy on the NS and ingress always freezes or can't seem to keep up!
Cheers,

Follow my signature, there's a chart that may help you out..

Thanks! This really helped me sum it all up, I'm going with stock as it seems to score the best in performance and battery life, which is what i'm looking for!
Cheers,

Stock?.. did we read the same chart.. lol.. Though the jzo54m is really nice and it is virtually stock..

I think he didn't scrolled down? xD

so the illusion is the fastest and the smoothest? but the slimkat has the best score... which do you suggest?

Finally got my G3 performing great.

Currently on a D850. Will admit I was disappointed by performance and battery life out the box. After 2 weeks though and various tweaks I have my G3 right where I want it. Will just post benchmarks for now, will update with settings/tweaks upon request.

Whats your battery life like?
I'm getting 52 hours on battery, almost 3hrs of on-screen time and acouple of hours worth of phone calls.

35 hours with roughly 8 hours of on screen time though that number may not be entirely accurate just yet.

that's insane!

Holy cow those scores are insane, and 8 hours of SOT?!? Teach me your secret :laugh:

Share some of your tweaks!

Yeah I was pretty shocked by the scores as well. It really is just a combination of build.prop tweaks, kernel tweaks, OOM tweaks and various governor/io scheduler tweaks.

But still, how did u get 8 hours of SOT? Did you downgrade the resolution to 1080p?

I request that update/share with settings/tweaks

No I didn't downgrade the screen res. I run no higher than 50% brightness. Again, that number may not be entirely accurate. Will post everything when I get home.

I would be very interested in seeing your exact settings your using and see how they different from mine :good:

Silence is guilt.

Sorry, Sorry. Been busy moving in to new house. A lot of running around.

Will post tonight. Can say the using Android Tuner Pro and applying the recommended tweaks on boot is a good place to start.

[Q] Stock + GB or ROM?

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your help so far! Love this forum.
I'm pretty noob when it comes to Android customization, so I wanted your opinion: I'm trying to decide whether to run a stable, fast ROM, or simply stock with GravityBox and Franco Kernel.
Here are my considerations:
I'm not an advanced user, but I do use my phone a lot for work and personal things like email, browser, gps, videos, etc. Since I rely on it a lot, stability is pretty key. However, I get really bothered by some UI restrictions on stock (in particular non-customizable Quick Settings, non-customizable status/nav bars, and no PIE, but other small things count too). GravityBox is sufficient for the customization I need, but at this point speed and battery life come into consideration also. I wouldn't mind a longer battery since I use the phone pretty heavily. Speed is a consideration in that it would help me get things done faster.
So I guess my dilemma is whether I should use stock while relying on GB for customization and Franco kernel for battery efficiency, or if I should run a stable, fast ROM like SlimKat for the same purposes?

Xposed will slow things down so IMHO if a ROM has all your needs, use that.
That said I use a ROM and xposed

Thanks for the replies guys. What ROM would you recommend for GB-like customization options, stability, and good battery life?

Yep, SlimKat, If stock Slim is missing a feature, about 50 people in that thread build their own Slim with some mods. One guy builds a version that has a DL/UL speed indication, L-style navbar buttons, and a bunch of other things.
Kernel, use Code_Blue. I prefer it over Franco. Just don't use the stock Slim kernel.

I'll add my usual comment..... Lol
Roms have near nothing to do with battery life. It's setup and usage that make or break battery life.
Don't factor battery life into Rom decisions.... They're all the same. ?

The only way a ROM can really affect battery is if a feature is designed poorly or there's a derp in the build..
But yeah, you can't really improve "ROM battery life", you can only make sure there aren't any problems which affect it negatively.

Really? I have the stock ROM and xposed with six different modules and I haven't noticed a substantial performance difference. Perhaps it's one of the modules you have installed or maybe xposed doesn't play as well with your ROM as it does with stock?

Xposed is always going to slow it down. The amount, however, is different for everyone.

So what about things like Franco Kernel, which claims to slow down processor when not in use to conserve battery?
And thanks for the help guys. I flashed SlimKat for now and am so far pretty happy with it.

Might not be noticeable, or it might be obvious, it's still always going to slow it down overall. Different experience between different people.

I've used every Rom and kernel almost and after setting each up how I regularly do, and with similar usage patterns always....my battery times were always similar.
I never play with the clock speeds I should add......but that's my experience. The roms or kernels I used made no real difference to my battery life.

Yes I've seen lots of "claims"....And guess what, many believe them. ?

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.
