Discussion : Best battery life giving Nougat ROM - Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion

Since Oreo needs some work, I'm opening this thread to share tweaks and screenshots related to battery life on Nougat ROMs.
You can also discuss about any tweaks that gives amazing battery life on Nougat.
I used RR Nougat and Lineage OS Nougat. Both gave me epic performance with AKT. RR gave me about 6hrs screen on time and Lineage OS gave me about 5hrs of screen on time.
Share your experience with Nougat ROMs guys.
Thanks!

What is the best Marshmallow 6.x ROM for the Oneplus One?

What is the best Marshmallow 6.x ROM for the Oneplus One in terms of battery and game flow?
These last 2 weeks I have been testing both ROMs 7.1 and kernels but I have noticed that the battery is spent on nothing, so I want to go back to Marshmallow in my EPO, but I do not know which ROM to choose. I've always had the CM ROM, but there may be some better. (It is assumed that I use many measures so that the battery does not last longer.
Knowing this ... what ROM for Marshmallow suits me?

Stock ROMs faster than Custom ROMs?

Hello everyone, greetings!
My question is are stock ROMs faster in loading and launching apps than custom ROMs
I'm asking this because I'm currently on RR 5.8.2 and I'm starting to feel that Stock 6.0.1 feels faster(sometimes).
What are your thoughts on this?

Hello,
You could give a try to LineageOS 14.1 ROM.
I find it better than the Stock 6.0.1.

In many cases, yes... the stock ROM is faster, more efficient, and more battery friendly. Moto might do a lot of things wrong, but they know how to optimize a ROM and kernel.
Yes, is better.
Is lineage os something better?
Stock ROM 6.0.1 is only faster if you are using another customer Marshmellow ROM. However Custom Nougat ROMs are alot faster than stock Marshmellow ROM. This is for simple reason that Nougat is better than Marshmellow. I have tried most of them and also I went back to stock for few weeks and I was feeling Stock ROM is working in slow motion as compare to Nougat ROMs . However battery consumtion and optimisation is far better on stock ROM as compare to any other custom ROM.
Lineage is simply nougat and stock is simply MM. speed-wise I would have to run a lot of tests to find out which is faster. I run Lineage because it works (for me) and it gets the security updates, which MM does not. Have no idea about RR.

So you mean to say battery drains faster on custom Roms?

I think people play a lot more with their new toy (custom rom) so the display is on a lot more and this will kill any battery. It's not the rom, but the user.

Given the same type of use I find that Lineage is ever so slightly better on battery than stock 6.0, but I would expect that as N is supposed to be ever so slightly better than M.
Example - daily use, I used to run stock 6.0 M down to 85 regularly and N is generally 90 or 88%. XT1540/US/ATT/GoPhone. There are days where I only run LinOS down to 97%.

Yes it does alot fatser on custom ROMS. I have tried most of the ROMS in this forum . Battery is best in Stock Marshmellow ROM. The only ROM which is closest to stock is nearly pure Nougat ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/development/osprey-aosp-caf-7-1-1-t3576936
Try this one has best battery life . also make sure you read Q&A on bottom of the page for further battery saving of above ROM Thread
Lineage OS is also a good for Battery as compare to most of other Nougat Roms https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/orig-development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-14-t3466246

Do you guys calibrate battery after flashing new roms?
Hi All,
My experience has been a little different from others here. My phone usage is lesser compared to others in general. So I am writing based on that:
On Stock MM 6.0.1 on Osprey I used to get 4-5 days on a single 100% charge.
On Custom Nougat 7.1.1 (GzRom Tesla) with similar usage pattern as above I consistently get 8-10 days with a single 100% charge.
Also custom roms feel way faster than stock roms.

A thing of the past... "Calibration" today is nothing special, just let the battery drain until it shuts down on its own and then fully charge. That's all they mean.

Suggest the best Nougat Rom for my moto droid turbo(Indian Variant)?

I want to install a rom, Nougat based which has very minimal bugs. Should be best in performance and battery backup. I am very new to this Moto community. So confused to select. Suggest me some best rom.
My personal opinion based on what I see people write in the threads. If you want Nougat, any of these three ROMS have very high reviews. You can go to those threads and ask questions.
[ROM][All Quark][7.x] Resurrection Remix
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL]AOKP 7.x For All Quark
[ROM][Quarks][LOS/CM 14.1 Unofficial][7.1.x][2016-12-30] (hybrid of CM14 and Resurrection Remix)

[ROMs][Quarks][List for Moto Maxx, Moto Turbo and Droid Turbo]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73917795&postcount=91
I only bothered with Nougat and Marshmallow, didn't list any Lollipop ROMs as those are very outdated.
I'm still using RR 6.X (Marshmallow) by the way on mine and my wife's XT1225.
________________
EDIT:
I am now running of those top three -- RR 7.x instead of RR 6.X, which I was running at the time of this answer back in April. Back then I wasn't ready to move to Nougat from very stable RR 6.x, but now have.
But still these are probably the top three. It's my opinion, based on comments, questions, developer response in the threads.

Thankyou very much for spending ur time in replying me. which one do you suggest? Actually, in some roms (mobiles other than moto) i experienced call drop issues. its like If someone are calling ,Im unable to see any call screen or any vibration/ring sound. But they can hear that they are calling me.So, By installing one of the above roms, Would I face this issue? Please suggest me a best of the three. Thankyou

None of those three ROMs would have that issue. All three of those devs have been active for quite a while with these Quarks. We welcome all devs -- but I will trust those who have proven over and over and over to be responsive to users questions and will help solve issues.
I was on CM12.1 (Lollipop) until last October 2016, and it was rock stable. So, I was loathe to change, but I went with RR 6.x (Marshmallow) -- yes about the time Nougat ROMs were being made. I'm still on RR 6.X, but I'm active in all the Nougat ROM threads. I see the complaints, I answer questions, and I know what are ROM issues and what are really user issues.
But when I do switch to Nougat, I am leaning slightly towards RR 7.X, just because I've had a very good experience with RR 6.X on my phone and my wife's phone. And of the three LG phones I support (for friends), I installed RR 6.X on two of those, so I'm more familiar with Resurrection Remix layout.

You should ask the question in the RR 7.X ROM thread, where users of that ROM can help you. I'm not using Nougat ROM myself.
I have flashed the RR Nougat, coming from a MM stock. Could it be realistic I experience some loss of performance at high demand tasks (like games?) and quicker drain of battery?

Normally there's a trade-off of performance vs battery, depending on which kernel governor you choose. But you are experiencing both?
For instance "conservative" governor gives better battery life, "performance" governor of course gives more performance but will drain battery quicker. Then there's a whole bunch of others (especially in @bhb27 custom kernel, which you have to install separately from any ROM) that promises to give better battery AND performance. Or at least a good compromise.
I'm currently using "alucard" both as governor and hotplug.
https://androidmodguide.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html
A favourite choice and one of the original governors that Alucard_24 made. Alucard is based on ondemand but has been heavily tweaked to bring better battery life and performance. It has been known to be battery friendly without sacrificing much performance.

I can remember playing aorund with CPU governors on my Xperia Pro and DROID 4, but with the current custom kernel I am using bhb27I can't find the option to switch between governors, or set certain profiles at all. I could have been missing it.
Though, in short: does MM have longer battery durance and better performance? Cause I can't find any conclusion on this, perhaps a well respected expert like you might be able to tell me?
Also thank you for the info so far, I am surprised the attention you give to devs and members to help those in need! :good::good:

You are welcome.
To change CPU governors, hotplugs, I/O schedulers and such, you need Kernel Aduitor app found over in the @bhb27 kernel thread.
He provides a modded version of the app that works well both his custom kernel and the ROM "stock" kernel. His custom kernel has even more options.

I already found some modifications, set the governor to 'conservative' and it gave my Droid an instant boost and somehow a longer lasting on battery as when it was slower. I have no idea why, probably locks or such occured? Anyway it works flowless now and I will take your app also in consideration.

What is your favorite custom ROM for R5N Whyred?

Hi guys, many users (me too!) have tried many ROMs but it’s very difficult to determine which custom ROM (AOSP Pie 9.0 or MIUI) is the better: ''better'' to me, means the ''more balanced'' in terms of:
1) battery backup
2) stability (a bug-free experience, possibly, but we all know there are always minor bugs even on stock ROMs)
3) performance
4) customization, features (but someone prefer Android stock with no customization)
It usually goes to personal taste, someone prefer MIUI ROMs, someone prefer AOSP Pie 9.0 custom ROMs.
Last week i have tried Havoc 2.0, Havoc 2.0 modded, Arrow OS, Revolution MIUI and Revolution AOSP, PE Extended, Pixel Experience, some are more concerned about stability, other about customization other about performance but... which is the MORE BALANCED that can provide a very smooth experience with some customizations and a good battery backup? Let’s talk and try to do a survey! :fingers-crossed:.
P.S. I don’t consider Oreo 8.1 custom ROMs cause they don’t get updated no more by devs/modders and majority of users prefer Pie 9.0 custom ROMs so this thread is related to AOSP Pie-based ROMs
P.P.S. sorry if my English is bad (I do not use google translator)
For me, I've just tried pixel experience rom, and i am satisfied with it, though I've read that Arrow OS is far better, but still did not try it

I love Lineage os 15/16 on all their devices
waiting for RR based on los 16
Havoc bro...
No doubt...
Bootleggers pie.
I am on Syberia official 2.0 now very smooth, this is another awesome work!

Arrow OS is best by far, wait for latest upgrade fingerprint patch 25-11 (previous works flawlessly)
Aosp Extended & Liquid Remix

What do you think about edge/fullscreen gestures guys? Only Havoc 2.0 has it? I love fullscreen gestures
Liquid Remix
Bootleggers is not the best at the moment, but I'd consider it the one that has the best basis. Just that some relevant features are missing.
Havoc 2 mod is good for those who want all the Google Junk. Does not support microG.
Syberia and Arrow are also tops IMO.
Hey can anyone suggest a 9.0 rom with build in oneplus gestures
Miui ROM is stable.

Choosing the right rom

Hey guys, i hope it's okay to write the question here.
So basically in a couple of days my 360h period ends and i can finally unlock the bootloader and root the phone.
My problem is, its been a while since i used something else as lineageos, and to make it even harder the note 6 pro has this notch (which seems to be a problem for some roms?)
So my question is quiet simple... which rom should i use for best performance and no notch issues?
should i stay with a MIUI rom and try to debloat the stuff like the "whatsapp cleaner"? (i never used Whatsapp for example), just install lineage os (and hope there is no notch issue) or should i go for a project treble rom, where my biggest issue is: what exactly is the huge difference between the usual roms and a project treble rom?
Each rom (official or not) has pros and cons, and each user has individual taste so....
I tried official and beta from MIUI, official and beta from xiaomi.eu, lineageOS 15, Pixel Experience, Havoc OS v2.1 and SuperiorOS
For now I'm using Bootleggers. I like it, but maybe you won't....

Can u plz suggest me best ROM for battery back up for my note 6 pro(tulip) thanks in advance
I tried AEX, crDroid and RR.
AEX is by far the worst. Display doesn't look good and device is slow.
RR has some issues, specially with the notch, battery and performance. Apps freeze a lot.
crDroid is the best. Great performance, great battery life and good notch compatibility.

according to me eu roms for note 6 pro have the best battery backup, they dont come with all the useless gapps like google play book etc so i suggest give eu roms a try. moreover remember customization and battery backup are inversely proportional.

is CrDroid still the best custom rom for n6p? How about SOT, overall performance,... on CrDroid and other roms? Is it worth to switch from stock miui 10 to any of these custom roms? On miui i've 1-2 days of usage at 6-7h SOT....
At the moment, there are a couple choices in terms of roms. At this point there is not really a "perfect" or amazing rom available for this device just yet. I have been testing the "official" and "unofficial" roms and they are decent but they have a long way to go until I would consider using them on a day to day basis. A lot of them have bugs which is a given, considering how relatively new this device is. It would be great to see official support for roms such as Paranoid Android, Lineage OS and Resurrection Remix. But this will take time like everything. If we look at the recovery side of things, we are still trying to get an official recovery which will be essential. From what I have seen TWRP by ATG Droid is probably the 'closest' recovery we have to something the same stability and features seen from an "official" recovery. Take what I have said with a grain of salt, pretty much all of this is opinionated if you did not get the memo.
