Hi ,
currently I'm running CodenameAndroid 3.3.0 on my Nexus S and everything runs smooth and works perfectly well for me, no doubts. But somehow I constantly get the feeling that the newer our operating system gets our batteries drain faster. Either this or my battery just gets old. However I'm searching for a Rom that has battery saving in main purpose. I dont care about playing games, the operating system or showing off how great my phone is. For this I have my Tablet The best solution for me would be a rom which is very low in batterydrain but as smooth as jellybean (maybe just port the transitions over). I know it might be hard to find something like this but is there any rom which matches my perception? Also a nice look would be cool, too ^^
I'm waiting for your responses!
I think you're looking for SlimBean. I'm on CNA too, the batter life is pretty bad
I tried SlimBean because I used SlimICS before but I miss too many features to change it back. Isn't there something else? Or which OS has the best batterylife in general?
i think gingerbread still has the best battery life.
androxide got me over 4hrs of screen time and a days usage with matrix
the new miui jb is also almost the same
IMO.....ICS's best battery life is on Kangy Ultra Ex 1.3 by DaXmax.
Just as long as u don't use Google talk since that's the ROMs only hiccup.
Then again like most will say.... its all depending on the user so hopefully it will help if u try.
I'm currently using the same developers JB ROM called paranoid Android..... so far it great but again I don't use all the newest features to much yet. I'm working myself slowing into the stuff.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S4G using tapatalk2
There is no ROM with super battery life, some better and some worst, very similar.
Most u can get from nexus s is +4hrs screen on.
And i don't care about those pathetic screen shots with +7hrs of screen on.
Fire up 3g/H stock browser, maps, music etc and we'll find out how good ur battery life is.
MIUI get's me aprox 4 hours and 50 minutes of on screen time. Lots of game playing, instant messaging, syncing, music, and social media (Instagram, twitter, tumblr.) And about 9 hours + when it get's to about 14%
EDIT: This is when using WIFI, not my 3G.

This question will produce every combo under the sun...but in the end no Real answer. Every phone/battery is different and how the person uses their phone. Apps installed, how much you use said apps, are the ram hogs, 2g, 3g, I could go on forever...just like this thread will if not eventually ignored or closed.
Closed, there is no answer to this question, the majority of battery drain will be the screen (depending on brightness) and whatever app you have installed and use.
Generally it's a matter of finding out what works for you.
Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the OnePlus 2, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the OnePlus 2 is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
well made phone, doesn't feel flimsy. SD810 doesn't seem to have the heat issues, screen could be a little better outside, battery life is great, the notification slider on the side is brilliant idea. Oxygen OS by itself sucks but with Xposed and several modules made the phone tons better.
Nice nice phone. I don't regret it!
Battery
Battery standby is extreme long. Tested it: in 12hours lost 3%. (Wi-Fi and Mobile Network was permamently active in my test)
But the active display standby is ~~~ lame.
Its got bit warm than my one+1 but it's ok.
Chasis/Design
The Chasis of phone is real AlMg. You can brake someones nose with that (not tested! )
It feels good in my hands, a bit heavier than one+1
Buyed with Kevlar StyleSwap Cover. Too bad, it's not fitting perfectly but it sit.
Sound
Speakers are louder than my laptop speakers. Clear Sound, no scratches heared.
Speed test and stability
Fast app start, smooth scrolling, switches fast between the apps.
Antutu Benchmark test:
Test run fine with over 55fps average.
With fully installed apps, games, tools etc..
Benchmark result: >58000
Camera/Video
Photo quality is very good. Takes pictures faster as one+1 and in good quality. nothing to say negative about it.
Videos are in good quality too. You can take slow-motion videos too (720p with 120fps)
SD Card
It's a bit faster as in one+1!
~3451MB (28183 files) Recovery backup done in 74 sec.
64MB/s Read/Write speed.
For a phone with 64GB internal memory it's enough speed.
Well. That's all importand tests i have done. If i have missed something, write it down here. i try to answer.
EDIT:
Very easy to unlock bootloader. Same way as in one+1.
Done it in under 5 minutes
On my old phone it was a real ass-disaster... (Xperia S) Never ever again
There are minor software glitches. But I expect everything to be fine in coming months. More than decent performance
love...mostly
i like the oneplus 2 overall, but not yet real excited about oxygen and updates only about once a month since purchase.
the type c connector seems to be usb type 2. OP apparently neglected to make accessory cables (power & otg) for the type c connection on 1+2, except power cable that comes w/phone. this, as of dec., 2015.
For otg: apparently you must go backwards to their usb type 2 otg (made for 1+1) and use their adapter from micro usb to type c connector.
tried a 3rd party otg type c that is usb 3.1: incompatable. perhaps update will fix this (i hope, since i
want to be able to use a flash drive w/phone since it has no micro sd slot). snc
I can try many roms

Awesome phone
overall. i m very dissapointed with this phone. Beautiful hardware with strong internals, the oos just make this phone extremely slow
Really love the phone since i installed CM 13
That runs really smooth and fast + great batterylife
I don't know if my OPT is defective, the speaker volume is very low. youtube videos or music is "ok" but especially ringtones are very low, I can't hear them outside of my house. At work in my pants it's impossible to hear and feel the phone because the vibration isn't strong enough. If Frenk_Ryder writes that the speaker is louder then the notebook speakers it's hard to believe for me. really?
and the battery life is horrible on my device. plugged it off the charger on 6 am and have only 20 percent on 12 pm with 2 - 3 hours SOT. I'm using the unofficial mahdi builds of cm13. the performance is good but Android System seems to be a battery hogger. I don't know why or what's the problem.
oxygen OS lacks much features of Cyanogen OS or Cyanogenmod and is "not complete at all", and Android System always is on top of the battery stats list. what is the issue for that? I mean Oxygen OS 2.2.0, older versions may be better in terms of battery life?
I hope anyone can help me with my device. thx
Was contemplating going with the Galaxy S6, but the Notification Slider was a real deal-maker for me (especially being loyal to the Galaxy lineup since S1).
Now owning the 1+2, I noticed I can not discreetly silent my phone in my pocket without taking it out and drawing attention in a meeting).
Have any of you found the Notification Slider to be a lot more useful than you originally thought it to be?

When does the issue appear about the volume speaker ?
For the battery life, try another rom ( CM13, Skydragon, H2O, .. )

tried almost all the roms, some have something or the other missing, others have serious battery drain some have wifi issues, others camera is bull****. I miss my z2 so much and i will sell my op2 and get a nexus 7 or whatever its called, when its released
awesome, just needs a bit of software polish...
Near flawless
I have had many phones, mostly Samsungs and LGs. Let me tell you this Oneplus 2 is the perfect phone. WIth the latest OOS 3.0.1 MM, Xposed with Gravitybox, and nova launcher on top, it's a brilliant setup. This thing gets higher scores than the Nexus 6p on every benchmark i've tested, I can game for at least 33 minutes straight of Nova3 (that's the longest straight time I've played any game so far) and no overheating and NO lagging or slowdowns. I don't understand the controversy over overheating and throttling, perhaps the latest models being manufactured are the best models. Overall, I love this phone, also, battery life is incredibly for me. I go two days without one charge and that's using texting about 500 sms a day and web browsing, light youtube, and light music, ON wifi. I've never had a phone quite like it, and for 350 bucks! Awesome.:good::good::good:
Coming from a clapped out Nexus 4, I wanted to really like my One Plus 2 (Oxygen OS 2.2.1) but it was hard; a perfectly adequate phone, but not overwhelming.
The Marshmallow upgrade to Oxygen 3.0.2 has made it the phone it should always have been. It's faster, the fingerprint unlock is better and instantaneous (and no need to wake the device first), the occasional stutters have stopped, the battery lasts longer on standby.
The two standout features for me, however, are not software. Firstly, the alert slider is brilliant. Secondly, there are plenty of cheap Dual SIM phones but few decent ones (in the UK at least).
I only got access to the true potential of the sd810 after switching to a custom rom & kernel
Its Great phone overall.
I guess the sales could be much larger quantities if there were not invites.
Sent from my ONE A2003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have developed a great degree of love for this phone, especially since it got a wealth of custom ROMs. It performs well, the battery life is excellent, it doesn't prevent me from installing custom ROMs or rooting, and all-in-all I love it. It handles everything I throw at it like a champ, and doesn't complain, and all for less than $300
its a good phone, but i had few hard times because of lack software updates from manufacturer (no android 7.0, no android 7.1, nothing) like on every other non-google phone, but thats life i finally fixed all major issues and it simply works, so i like it again
Hi guys, I am writing a review about Slim ROM which can be found in this forum. The reason behind that is to help people like me who want the best out of their phone.
Generally speaking its difficult to define what a "good" ROM is so I will speak from my personal experience and according to my needs.
First of all I need to clarify that I am not advertising the ROM, the developer behind this ROM is totally unknown to me, but I felt the need to write all these, first of all to pay tribute to the excellent work he has done and secondly to help out people like me who experiment all the time to make the best of out of their phones, like I mentioned it earlier.
I have tested all the ROMS that can be found in this thread except, Meizu.
The most important thing to notice is that some ROMS are not working well in regions like mine where the networks for their cellphones are GSM for 2g, WDCMA for 3g and LTE for 4g.
All the Team Superluminal ROMS have for default the CDMA option and it is a pain in the ass to change that and even when you do that, after a restart all settings revert to default(CDMA)
So if you want to have Radios in the correct settings and plethora of options to play with I strongly suggest Slim ROM. (Nexus fly and Resurrection are also working just fine)
Another thing is the stability of the wifi. Slim ROM is the most stable ROM on that department, according to my personal experience.
I am currently on the 1.7 version and there is no bug that I noticed. Everything works smoothly, phone doesnt heat up(not a crazy gamer though) and everything works the time you need it without hickups, reboots and freezes.
GPS is locking right away and the battery (and I cant stress it enough) is at it BEST BY FAR. I am talking about 8 hours of SOT with wifi on and 2g signal or about 5 hours with mixed use.(GPS around half an hour, 4g for 3 hours, calling and vibering a lot)
The only downside for my taste is the absence of profile manager. But I found an amazing app called PhoneProfilesPlus on the app store which has a widget on your home screen showing your current profile. Once you tap on it it shows the profiles you have created and just by tapping on the desired one it changes to that profile. I mean about everything(GPS toggle on/off, Data toggle, Data preference(2g,3g,4g whatever), autorotation of screen, brightness, volumes, vibration).It does it all
To finish up I am not saying other ROMS are bad or anything, but for me, with the need my phone to be always there to use, a work tool actually, Slim ROM is by far the best thing that happened to me and my phone.
I hope I help other people who want stability, full function and bugless experience with this post.
Salute to all devs, for their amazing work and for bringing new life to our phones.
And a big thanks to @csolanol for his amazing work.
Thanks for your sharing.
I live in a place where they use "GSM for 2g, WDCMA for 3g and LTE for 4g", exactly as you have mentioned. And Team Superluminal CM13 ROM works perfectly. CDMA is not used by default and any radio setting is kept after reboot.
The battery life I have on Slim6 is essentially the same as that of TS CM13 or sMiUI.

I have no issue with TS ROM about the Radio setting (latest build 1007), after restart the setting still persist. For any other, the TS ROM is more or less the same, but maybe the SOT is 1 hour shorter in TS ROM.
Rom is this?

You're so wrong about this. I am currently using mi-globe (former sMIUI) and it doesn't stand a chance between slim6 or ts cm13. I can barely get 4 and a half SoT with mi-globe, as MIUI framework consumes some juice after all. Slim is by far the best ROM for battery in my personal opinion. I am talking about non tweaked versions of this ROMs.
@nioonline could you briefly explain how is your Slim rom setup? Which tweaks do you use? Do you use apps like Greenify, Amplifier or Kernel Auditor for getting that 8 hr SoT? Because this sot time, I have never seen with using Slim v1.7. I am also using my phone daily for whatsapp, instagram and messenger mostly, and some browsing (Most of the time connected to Wifi) Then I get usually 4.5 hr SOT.

Me too. Using 1.7. The most i get is 5.5 hr sot. Mostly is around 4.5hr too. Curious how to get 8hrs sot.
Hey guys sorry for not responding but I was pretty busy.
Nowdays I experiment with Nougat roms, but from what I can recall I had all the consuming feautures off. Double tap to wake, adaptive brightness ets.
I also used raw for scheduler and glass fish version 1.2 for the governor. Kernel untouched(interactive by default)
8 hours of SOT happens but if you use your phone mostly with wifi on, data off and cell set to 2g. I wrote it already on my first post.Otherwise in mixed used I told you its around 6 hours.
For my the key for good sots are two things. Idle state and cell signal consumption.
For medium users like me this is the most important. And with this rom after 6 to 8 hours of sleep while the phone is at idle state it has almost no comsumption.
The other thing is not to make my phone work all the time. So when I am at places with wifi I turn data off and use only 2g. Believe me it makes HUGE difference compared to 3g or 4g.
There is no profile manager in there but use an app like the one I recommend. I mean use set it up once and then with only one tap you change radios, display, sound,vibration settings etc. (for example one of my profiles is car.Open Bluetooth, turn off wifi, open data,set data to 3g/4g, enable autorotate to use my navigation app,open gps, set brightness to 100%.All that with one button)Magic stuff for me.
I don't use messenger but I think its a battery killer app. Don't know what you can do in this situation.....
(Also don't let google and other accounts synchronize bull****s like google fit, people details and crap like that)
Hope I helped a little bit.
There is an article about nexus 5x and how to make battery last more. Since we use the same cpu(sd808) take a look at it. It can help you furthermore, if you are a gamer or a social app "maniac".
Thank you for review! It helped me to choose rom!
I have to confirm. Slim Rom ist the best Rom for me. All Roms i tried (miui, smiui, ts Cyanogen 13) were very smooth but slim has the best battery life by far.

Any changelog with those roms ? Is there any difference between those and RR/LOS ?
I will try the latest Mokee in a few hours and get back to you. Hopefully it's derived from the latest LOS source so it has good battery and stability, but we'll see.

Looking forward to your review!
Hands on Mokee 7.1.2 31/8
We are getting closer to a bug free experience! The main issue I have with Mokee is that there is no display calibration built in. It's kind of standard these days and in all other Nougat roms. Still, I just had to download FK Manager and root the device to be able to calibrate the display. Other than that I also feel there are a few bloat apps, for instance Substratum and Xposed. I have nothing against the apps per say, but I don't use them. Thankfully they can be inactivated even without root. The only other issue I've found is that the compass is totally whack still, but I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.
I've only tested the rom for about half a day, but battery seems to be very good. Up to par with at least LOS 28/8 and not far from MIUI standards. The phone hasn't even gotten hot under the time I've tested the rom.
About performance, I got 60199 points in Antutu which seems very good for a beta rom. Other than surfing the web and recording videos I really don't do that many demanding tasks, but the whole experience is fluid as far as I can tell.
The stock camera seems to finally be fixed... again. In RR 10/8 camera worked fine, but then in LOS 28/8 videos were very dark and had a lot of artifacts. In Mokee 31/8 I really can't complain about image or video quality, it's great actually. A bit better than MIUI in my opinion
The stock camera still has the same issues, dark video recording at least. I will use Bacon Camera until it's fixed.
I can't comment on the issues people have with finger prints and if the issue has been fixed or not. I can only say that it's working perfectly fine for me.
I will stay on Mokee 31/8 for the time being. It's very close to a stock Android experience when all the bloat is inactivated. I would love some more features and settings to play around with, but I prefer a fully working rom over all the bells and whistles. It's without a doubt a daily driver, unless you really need a working compass!
Update 2017-09-02
After more than a full days of use I got pretty tired of Mokee. Still not a bad rom per say, but there seems to be some issues with deep sleep. Left it with over 70% battery during the night, when I woke up around six hours later it was down to around 50%. I'm not sure why and to be honest I really don't have the time to work it out. Instead I'm back on LOS 28/8 for the time being. I will keep an eye on Mokee and every other Nougat rom coming out since we're so close to having a fully working and bug free rom!
Anyone tested flyme os yet?
Hey guys I'm looking for the best custom room and kernel mix I'm currently on b14 of oos with the latest release of smurfkernel and xXx on magisk and getting around 5h of SOT and amazing gaming performance also I'm looking to get a better battery life and more features than the one oos gives they are just not enough so I just want to know what setup your running and if u can share settings and pictures for the battery performance constant not just your best please thanks to all of you guys out there

My favourite setup is Pixel Experience CAF + it's stock kernel, with Servicely from Franco running to prevent wakelocks from social apps. The phone lasts two days with normal usage. Lasts a whole day with 7/8h SOT. The stock kernel is perfect, better battery than Smurf, faster than Blu.Spark, really half-way between those two kernels.
I like OOS 9.0.4 with Smurf too, or OmniRom.
But i love the Pixel 3 feel of PE. Smooth as hell, even more than OOS. On top of that it has Pixel 3 AOD, integrated with the official live wallpapers, Now Playing, Digital Wellbeing, Google Pay, Pie Gestures (which are very fluid and cool to use, unlike on OOS where they are kinda broken and unresponsive, and you can still disable them), everything works like a charm. It also has a system-wide dark mode.
RAM management is also much better than OOS, and you can remap the Alert Slider positions (I set Do Not Disturb on the top position, much better than Silence), and set vibration strengh for calls, notifications, and system.
It's not a ROM that offers tons of customizations though, apart from what i wrote above. But it's polished, super fast, and has very good battery backup.

Well, il looks like a Pixel 3 haha !
You can always check the thread on XDA for more info.
Attached a BBS screenshot for standby time, I never turn off LTE or Location, never use airplane mode. Just using Servicely.

Dash Charging works like it should, and for the camera, i'm using this port of GCam (beta 20 build) : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-xtrme/
Everything works including SlowMo, Portrait, Photosphere ... And quality is on par with OOS in lit conditions, but way better in low light. The app is especially snappy and responsive. That's not related to the ROM though, it's mostly thanks to this amazing GCam port. Best i found so far.

No problem ! Remember, this is a CAF build. So you have to Format your whole storage (not just Factory Reset) for it to boot for the first time.
It's a Security Patch issue commom to current CAF ROMs, you have to remove encryption to boot the first time. And the only way is to Format the internal storage.

Stands for "Code Aurora Forums". Basically, it's an AOSP branch maintained by Qualcomm. ROMs built on it (Like LineageOS for example) instead of pure AOSP are optimized with specific code from Qualcomm, so normally run faster and more efficiently on Snapdragon processors.
It's not a new thing, but the more you know !
Comparing the AOSP builds and the new CAF build of Pixel Experience, it is indeed faster and more responsive. Very neat.
But currently, most custom kernels aren't compatible with CAF ROMs (from what i've read anyway, haven't tried myself yet). So you won't be able to use Smurf on CAF ROMs (except if that changed haha).

Auto brightness learns your preferences so it will adapt. When it's too low, turn it up a bit, it will remember. But i never thought it was too dim.
You also have a "High Brightness mode" accessible through a quick setting in the status bar that boosts the brightness. But don't use it for more than a few minutes, it could damage the display. It gets brighter that what OnePlus intended.

Copy everything to your PC, Format your storage, transfer everything back to the phone, and flash the ROM + TWRP two times while rebooting the recovery in between to fill both slots

Dash Charging works like it should, and for the camera, i'm using this port of GCam (beta 20 build) : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-xtrme/
Everything works including SlowMo, Portrait, Photosphere ... And quality is on par with OOS in lit conditions, but way better in low light. The app is especially snappy and responsive. That's not related to the ROM though, it's mostly thanks to this amazing GCam port. Best i found so far.

Hi, actually i'm using Havoc OS, i love GCam but i never could get MotionPhotos work like except. MotionPhoto length is about 1/2 or 1 second, very useless compare to my OnePlus 3. I would like to know if MotionPhoto working good on your setup

Havoc is a good choice !
I just updated to the latest GCam Stable, the 1.4, in red on this page :
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Added the OP6 config file that you can download with it, Motion Photos work in Google Photos.
This build is even better that the one I linked previously, try it !
It even has Focus Tracking, which recognizes objects and keeps the focus on them when they move, it's amazing

Thanks you ! It's a little better, but not have 3 seconds of gif, only 1 second. On my OnePlus 3 with Android 8 i get a longer motion photo, on google website they talk about 3 seconds for Motion photo.
Sometime pics make Google Photo crash, it very annoying because I felt everyone does not care about Motion Photo, i'm alone with my dumb trouble

I've got around 1 second of motion too ! And yes i had a motion photo crash the Photos app once too, but it didn't happen after this ... Probably still not perfectly stable

Ok thank you, i think we cannot get better for now. I find this strange because, i see many people want TopShot feature, but with a 1 second gif, i find it not very useful.
