Hey guys … we've had quite a bit of development in a very short amount of time since release. There are some very talented developers out there and a dedicated number of people making our already great phone even better.
So, I was curious to see at this point what Rom\Kernel Combo everybody is running to get the most out of the battery while maintaining performance!
Sound off on which rom\kernel combo you're using and post battery life screenshots if you have them!
Thank you to the developers that make this happen, we couldn't have gotten here without you!
I guess there is only one stable rom xXx

SOT varies and depends on your usage.
Xxx+cleanslate
If you want a balanced kernel with a really good battery life, you should go with franco kernel. I achieved very good stand by and screen on time, even on the currently battrry-buggy OxygenOS 5.1.8. And if you want a light customizable ROM with quiet a few goodies, go with Renovate 3.2.

I know its subjective but it gives a pretty general idea of the rom\kernel combo.

Is that stock options with Franco?
If I pick up my phone and use it all day in bed when I'm under the weather or when I'm home for the day with nothing to do I can get 7 hours of screen on time with constant usage at half brightness. When I am at work and have the phone with me and do a little gps etc I can get about 6 hours. It all depends on your usage and also your cell signal. The worse your signal is the faster it drains the battery. The more GPS you use the faster your battery dies. It doesn't matter which kernel I am running, (I'm currently on stock 5.1.8 with Magisk, Xposed & ElementalX) battery life is pretty much the same.

if you won't stop to believe that rom and kernel are responsible for SOT and standby drain you will never be able to 99.9 control and manage your battery usage.
it's all in user space as long as there is no know battery hog (know bug) in either rom or kernel.

Hi,
Every KitKat Rom that I tried was affected by some kind of battery draining bug which has to do sth with Google Play services. Can you recommend a fix which works by doing it a single time? Uninstalling/stopping Google play services fixes the problem for a few hours only.
However, I would prefer a rom which is not affected By the bug out of the box.
I'm testing Racpu_ cm11s. Was having Google Play service wakelock, but learned somewhere on Oneplus forum about this: Install Disable Service from play store, switch to system tab, check SystemUpdateService. That somehow eliminates the wakelock. Today is 2nd cycle, 4hr screen on for youtube netflix under wifi, still rocking 48% of battery.
Cool, Ty, didn't know about this Bugfix,will try it. Why are you testing kitkat Roms in 2016?

Now I'm on slimsaber kk build, about the same SOT, feels slightly smoother than cm11s maybe.

Since I opened this thread, I am on Karbon kitkat which seems to be a fork of Slimxxxx
Fortunately, I did not get an always active bug until now, so I didn't try your Bugfix.
How much SoT do you get with your roms and which configuration.?
Most times I get 4 hours with the following config
- brightness static 50%
- sync, tapToWake and offscreen gestures off ( just in case...)
With following usage profile:
- no 3d
- no video (out of short clips)
- chrome, messenger, quora, Google news
- telephone 45min
- 75% WiFi, 25% 3G

With Racpu's cm11s and Slimsaber KK build, I didn't get to use the battery all the way to like 1%, but I already got 5hr SOT before that. Here are more details.
Racpu's:
- auto brightness
- youtube and netflix a lot, some xda and chrome, abou 30min phone call
- always on wifi
- greenify in exposed mode
Slimsaber KK:
- auto brightness
- 3hr LTE, rest on wifi
- about 2hrs of youtube and netflix
- 40min navigation with google maps
- a few camera shots
Don't think this is scientific enough, but hope it gives some idea on my usage.

YouTube, video in general does really really impact SOT measurements. You get about 1,5 to 1,8 times more, I measured it a lot. Navigation is the other extreme : 3d, GPS and most times a high brightness because you are outside (on daylight)

Ah OK, that seems right. I didn't do such detailed research
Now I'm leaning towards what most people say: Battery life depends on how you use the phone.
Also, I think OPO has an amazing developer community and all roms are of high quality and yet retain their own unique qualities like functions etc.

I'm looking for a kernel to use that will net me the longest battery life and idle times. Would love to hear people opinions/experience with kernels and kernel settings.
Please share settings and any info on how you achieved such good battery life
I will probably get yelled at by someone for this but, most battery savings is in what apps you have installed and how bad there are requesting wake locks. For me. I use flash kernel because he takes upstream updates to kernel.
For me the "Advance Battery Optimization" did the trick!
In combination with Francisco Franco Kernel, my battery life jumped
two folds. And of course as mentioned, it does depend on apps installed
and your habits.
I personally prefer Smurf kernal. For me and my usage, it's given me a great balance of performance and battery life. But it all depends on your apps and usage. Everyone is going to have different results using the same kernal. Too many variables to differentiate getting the same results as others.

Averaging between 5-9 hours. Really depends on usage, what apps I have installed. Even how hot it is outside effects it.

Why not use beta? It's fine for me. Literally everyone say bad battery life after an update. Perhaps give it some time.
I'm looking for someway to get best battery backup with good screen on time without compromising phone speed (mainly for multitasking and app open times)
Thanks in advance
I've had good luck using the Smurf kernel with the battery spectrum profile on Havoc Oreo.
I'm going to upgrade to Havoc ? with Smurf's new ? kernel this weekend as the issue with screen off battery drain has supposedly been fixed.

I should also mention that I use Greenify religiously. I also have it running as a privileged app (always root mode) via the Magisk module.
I can recommend Radioactive Kernel
Can't go wrong with any of them.
My personal experience says EX kernel, Blu(more battery focused), or Radioactive.
I use EX personally since I've had history with it before and trust it the most.
If I'm looking for a lightweight and stable ROM that improves my battery life (this one is very important), which one is the best?
I don't care about extra features and customization. I just want stability, smooth experience and battery life.

Official Lineage 17 is pretty good. Smooth and most importantly STABLE.
4h+ SOT from a full charge on (underclocked) ElementalX.
BlissRom for sure, 5h sot from full charge on stock kernel. Stable, ota updates and lots of features
If you have an european pixel, you need to flash the special kernel, otherwise no sound in calls

Those estimations totally depend on usage, but in my experience it would last a day, with below 10% left at the end of the day. So the battery does not offer a usage time anything better than average.
