does it require rooting???

Do you have a lot of apps and don't wanna lose the settings?
if not or if you don't care about setting them up again why not do a factory data reset and just erase everything and start from scratch?
i would suggest a you make a backup first but you're probably not rooted and even if you do, the backup might not work since it might also back up any wrong settings or something like that (i might be wrong here)
Why not root your phone? you can always unroot and relock the bootloader if you are worried about warranty.
edit: BTW any custom ROM requires you unlock your bootloader and install ClockworkMod recovery. so you would have to do that first in order to flash the AOSP roms.

but what abt the battery issue...
it is the main problem of all...

Have you looked at the battery usage under system settings > battery?
it likely is be a misbehaving app since you say several apps don't work correctly.
this should also go away with a flash of a ROM or doing the factory data reset.
Edit:
My wife has having similar problems after the ICS OTA update. she had a lot of apps and a bunch of widgets on the home screens, the phone was sluggish and some apps didn't work right or were FC'ing. In the end she just did a factory data reset and started from scratch and the phone is stable and feels faster and all apps are working fine now.

is it a kernel or a rom...
and i saw the screenshots of this rom- CodenameDroid-(MOD)-1.2.0-NS
is this rom a good one....with faster performance and a good battery

tried ICS stock rom.
No battery problem. similar life compared with 2.3: about 1.5 days
but ICS is running slower than 2.3. Though speed still acceptable, but I want the 2.3 speed

@colocynth
Try the Matr1x Kernel und you will be fine....

Hi cloedu, I tried mv 2.1.28, using matrix kernel, if my memory is correct. Still not speed up, just like stock.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Formatting everything (system , boot , cache , data .....) in CWM recovery , then reinstalling stock ICS ROM made a day and night difference in battery life for me .... From 15 hours avarage to almost 1.5+ days ... Highly recommended...

Help For Battery Life

Hello mates, I have some questions about battery life. Actually, I am wondering how can I extend battery life ? I've installed Juice Defender Ultimate and some of my friends said that I must install the kernel which has undervolting feature so I'm looking around for a ROM which has undervolting kernel and I need your help about this topic. Not restrict yourself about kernel stuff, everything about extending battery life is acceptable from me. Thanks a lot !

try this method on how to flash any ROM.... this is effective for all custom roms....
(btw, i'm on HBoot: 0.98.2000 (PG8810000) ENG s-off and using 4EXT Touch Recovery)
1. Boot into recovery
2. Format System (not wipe option but format option !!!)
3. Format Data
4. Wipe Cache then Format Boot
5. Wipe Data/Factory reset (1st option in wipe/format menu)
6. Wipe Dalvik Cache
Next if you have some wiping utility like Full Wipe 1.5 Ext4 for Saga.zip (I used the FULL WIPE DS by ronks888)...run that by selecting install zip from sd card and installing the zip...
7. Now flash the rom
8. Flash any kernel (I skipped this as there is already a kernel install on every custom rom unless you have other kernels that you're using)
9. Now reboot (Note don't flash any tweaks like transparent notification except gapps if required)
10. Now setup your phone
11. Reboot into recovery again (after setup your phone - after clicking the finish button part)
12. Now go into advanced then chose fix permissions and then install any tweaks you want (Note whether mentioned or not always wipe Dalvik Cache before installing tweak zip) - I didn't install any tweaks so all I did was fix permissions
13. Reboot (everything would work perfect 100%)
For a great battery life, try using the instructions below after following all the steps 1-13 above...
1. Use the phone till battery is less than 10% (after every fresh install)
2. Now charge it till it gives green light and shows 100% battery (some roms shows green at 90% so check if battery is 100%)
3. Now switch off the phone and charge again till it becomes green again (generally it should in 2-3 min)
4. Finally boot into recovery and wipe battery stats in the wipe/format menu.
5. Reboot (you will see a BIG difference in your battery life)

settings -> accounts & sync -> disable from there..
anyway, I am also having a miserable battery life.. can't last more than 10 hrs with frugal use..
but I have been using it for a year and a half and have not been taking care of my battery.. So probably it is nearing the end of its life and starting to "drop"..

It might not be the Rom, you might have apps that drain the battery, install better battery stats and get a better idea what might be draining the battery. I get about the or four hours of heavy use. Games internet video etc

That is the problem, the rom is clear. I done all wipes and format all system and sdcard.
P.S. I have "[email protected] #1" kernel

I've found switching off location services to have a significant improvement in battery life!

Nice guide gnna try..

I switched it off long ago.

wakefulness mode is always on, its ok?

Install better battery stats, see exactly what is keeping your phone awake, there's a thread for it on xda, you'll also get help with figuring out what and how to improve your battery

[Q] Battery indicator stuck at 1% in unofficial CM11

Since I cannot yet post in the development section, I'll hope to have some response here. Upon installing the unofficial CM11 mod in combination with pink kernel, I came across a stubborn bug: the battery indicator is invariably stuck at 1%.
A clean reflash (even /system format) did not help. I flashed back the stock ROM, wiped everything and reflashed the CM11 with no difference so far.
Has anybody got an explanation/bug fix? Thanks in advance..

I had this same issue even in stock ROM... just let the battery drain completely til the phone switches off and then charge the phone and boot... it worked for me... :fingers-crossed:

I had this happen to me on stock as well the first day I owned the phone. Left it on the charger all night and on less than ten minutes of use the battery showed 1%. Charged back to full and haven't seen it again. I think server people have experienced this bug.
Sent from my XT1034 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

find the battery apps in apps setting then try clear the cache. once happen to my old s2's cm11.

[Q] Battery draining issue

Is there any way to remove the sudden battery drop from 40% to 14% in no time. This drop occurs in all roms even in Stock rom. I have tried even the latest stock kernel of v4 but to no use. So is there any one to help.
thanks in advance

Full battery drain in 4 hour without usage?

So, this happened to me for the first time last night...My phone had charged 100% and so I removed the charger..Idk for some reason the battery drained overnight in about 4 and a half hours..when I woke up and went to check some notifications, I also found out some very very serious ghosting, not instant ghosting, the long lasting one...I don't really remember much about last night (was high) but I'll post some screen shots.
Look near the CPU in the top center of the screen..there's a small whitish circle which is a Snap from CNN on snapchat..and its not going away..not visible on white surfaces though.
Oh and BTW I'm on Sultan's ROM on 5.1.1 latest update (was stable until November, now some FCs and random reboots and whatnot, will migrate to Oxygen OS 2.2.0 by PMehra) with AK kernel.

You do realize AK kernel despite using anykernel isn't in line with Sultans latest changes to the ROM & kernel? Either way your camera seemed to have held a wakelock and drained your battery

That's what I thought after seeing the qcamera process in battery stats. Thanks for the confirmation! going to flash Sultan's Latest Marsh...last time I flashed it, the DPI settings were causing reboots and also random freezes plus I like stability so I flashed back to 5.1.1...hope the Feb update has got rid of it.
Plus did you notice the ghosting image? It's gone now but I was really worried!

Yea I am going to flash 6.0.1 now using 2.8.6.0 TWRP. Hope it isn't as buggy now because IMHO Sultan's Roms are the best!

I have the same 4hr battery life on my OPO. upgraded to latest CM12 but wanna go back to old Android Kitkat CM11 if i can.

Think there may have been an issue with his latest builds. I have moved away from both of his roms and went to all stock cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT and had 5 days on a charge, with a 0.6% drain/hr. I also don't use my phone much during the week, wifi on and switched to 3g. Might want to install better battery stats (you can find here on xda) and/or wakelock detector (playstore) and see what actually is killing your battery. Or just revert to an earlier build where these issues weren't present.

version of twrp makes no difference, I've been using 2.8.6.0 for over a year now with no issues at all.

I hear ya, been there, done that. Lost some of my files, but most were already saved on pc. I do a backup of my sdcard once a week, just in case. A month or so ago, I did a clean update to a new build of Sultan's CM13 caf rom and I was caught in a bootloop. I tried everything to solve this and had no luck. I could however flash cm13 nighlies and RR rom no issues, but as soon as I flashed cm13 caf rom, went to bootloop. Finally fastboot flashed official cm11s factory image and started fresh. Since then I have had no problems. There were a lot of other people with this issue, so there was something in his rom that was jacked somewhere. I did go back to Sultan's cm13 rom for a bit, but didn't run as good as his earlier builds, so went to his cm12 rom. After the latest upstreams from CM, phone performance started to go down hill. So, I just said the hell with it and went to stock cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT and everything is stable and running like it should. May flash a dif kernel in a day or so, but right now, everything is running fine. Like I said, I got 5 days on a charge with minimal usage as I don't use phone during the week. I don't have time to use phone when working and to damn tired after work. Think I had around 2hr SOT.
