[Q] Voltage advice?

I'm running nscollab 1.60 with Franco kernel and was wondering if anyone's got some good custom voltage settings I can test out for a stronger battery life?
Essentially I'm a data user. Usually on the screen 4+ hours of the days, running market, fb and browser and of course texting.
Currently I'm messing around with smartassv2 200/800 deep idle off, BLN off, and kernel default voltage and I'm about to run my first battery calibration ...
Thanks on advance
EDIT: another side note is I've noticed my screen gets pretty hot now. When I'd run stock GB it wouldn't do that.

Best rom for battery life

Hello guys,
as for me the most annoying part of a smartphone is running out of battery when there is no chance to recharge, I want to collect your experieces with different roms concerning battery life.
WHich rom gave you the longest battery?
Cheers

There are many factors not only the ROM.
It's the kernel you flashed, it's the settings you have chosen... and at least it's your daily behavior with your phone....
Usually you have a better battery life with custom kernels...

as it was answered
custom kernel with feature as ability to set minimum CPU frequency and probablly voltage control
and U'll have to try some of them in order to find out the wright one

Longest battery life i get with stock rom so far (around 20h with moderate usage)
for custom roms:
Best battery life gave me PAC-Man rom with bubbav4 kernel - which was almost like stock.
ViperOneS had the worst battery life for me.
just try some roms and kernels, it also depends on how you use your phone of course.

in my experience, 4.2.2 roms have the lowest battery life ~3.5 hours screen on + wifi on (active Web surfing) with auto brightness.
Viper rom 2.1 ~4 hours
aosp 4.1.2 (cm10) and viper 1.2.1 ~4.5
very rough numbers obviously so no one roast me. remember I'm talking about total screen on time as reported by the battery app.
The newer jb 4.2 roms are very popular and have a lot of great features, but if battery is your thing, try out some of the older android and sense roms.

For me it was pretty much a tie between Liquid Smooth with Bubba Kernel(OC to 1890 for heavy periods, 1134 for light usage, and complete collapse of the CPU when the screen is off) And Viper One S with the Stock Kernel. Like everyone said though you'll experience wildly different numbers depending on what settings you use and how much

Viper has always had phenomenal battery life.

Complete collapse of Cpu when screen off? Is that pm sleep mode 1 or 0?

Thank you very much. Unfortunately my phone jack is broken so I cannot test your configs, will report after repair though.
Cheers

There's a setting on through Android Tweaker that gives you the option to control how the phone deep sleeps basically

[Completed] Nexus 4 on 5.1.1 - undervolting kernel

Can someone recommend or point me to a undervolting kernel that I can flash onto my rooted, unlocked Nexus 4 running the latest 5.1.1 LMY48T factory image?
I don't want to flash a new ROM and have to spend the time reinstalling all my apps, or gapps, just a new kernel would be great.
I have to undervolt this phone because I have a slow binned cpu, and the phone gets hot as hell and crashes to the red led of death when I perform any stress tests, and I have already installed the copper shim and thermal paste to help with the heat dissipation.
In order to reboot the phone I have to pull the battery.
Many thanks, Tony.

I managed to find some info on a good undervolting kernel called hells core. It has done wonders for my phone. I now don't get to 45°C whereas I used to see 70°+ during routine tasks (browsing, calls, messaging - forget games!). My phone clearly has a bug but this kernel has saved it. For anyone with a cooking Nexus 4, definitely download the hells core kernel. It's amazing. HC-B83.5-L.ZIP for the latest Lollipop.

OnePlus One CM11s VS CM12.1+ AK Kernel

Hello. So I am currently running an OPO on 5.1.1 with AK kernel and I get a solid 5:30 SoT with lots of restrictions (CPU frequency). My device is rooted with TWRP installed. I ask, is it worth reverting back to CM11 on 4.4.4? I'm looking for features and battery life mainly. I might change themes and kernels. But only on CyanogenMod ROM. If CM11s is the way to go, may a good kernel be recommended to go with it? Thanks for the help.

Well at this point 11S is pretty outdated, with CM13 already being out. CMOS12 is pretty good but getting a different CM12 or CM13 based ROM is best way to go in my eyes. I have tried going back to KK just to see what it is like and I couldn't use it because I had gotten used to how Lollipop and Marshmallow are. Also I don't think the increase in battery life is worth the loss of features with CM11S.

You should stay on cm12.1 and play with your kernel setting little bit!

I'd say give MahdiROM 2.9 a shot. It's CM11 and gives me great battery life, as well as being packed full of features. Even ran tests with play services forcing my phone to stay awake 100% of the time and can still push 5-7 hours SoT depending on usage. 7+ with that fixed up. ZaneZam's boeffla kernel builds for it work extremely well and I can honestly say I prefer it for CM11 even though I'm an avid AK user.

What about Boeffla Kernel? Is it better than AK?

There is no better or best kernel. There is just a kernel that fits your preferences.

I can only say that at least with my personal usage, the battery life did not change a bit going from kitkat, over lollipop, to marshmallow.
6h SOT is the bare minimum I get on regular usage no matter what. I've seen 8h SOT on K, L and M.
Always CM11/12/12.1/13 with stock kernel and stock settings, no undervolting, underclocking, Greenify or other bull**** apps. Also I don't use apps which are known for drain like facebook.
Seeing threads like this, I often think that users drain the most battery by constantly looking for tweaks and updates to reduce battery consumption.
Alibi screenshots from an early unofficial cm13 build:
There is almost no drain over night, same on data only.

Maybe your device got powerful battery and your app list isn't huge, otherwise most people struggle to get 6 hr sot on L & M. ?

Android P battery life on custom ROMs

As the title say, which ROM has better battery life among android P custom roms? im asking this because I did install stock android p and I faced huge battery draining on stock + heat. I don't wanna disable adaptive brightness for that either. So im wondering whether the battery life is batter on customs roms. If so please do mention the rom you have

i cant stand adaptive brightness not only does it kill battery, but it scales at the worst times and not in the correct intervals. i believe my preferences and environments change to much for the "machine learning" to do its magic.
ANYWAYS. I believe carbon rom with flash kernel gave me the best battery. i used the unified script with it, and enabled Smart pixels (on with battery saver, 75% move every 10 min) . With that setup i was able to get about 6hr SOT moderate to heavy usage.
Aside from that, any lineage based rom is going to be good on battery. A few people here swear by stock rom with a community provided kernel. Give elementalX a try on stock rom and see if it helps.
