Rom with best battery life - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Alright guys, whats your opinion: which rom has the best battery life?

AOKP + Latest Franco Kernel

Thanks. So far I've had my best with eagles blood and stock kernel. I've heard Franco's kernel has bad battery life though?

Sounds like an easy thing for you to test, doesn't it? Sorry to be snippy, but this is one of many similar threads. No one searches anymore, and there are many threads like this which have "it depends" as the only logical answer.

I have been using Francos kernel, and the new baseband, with both KANG and eaglyblood, i hav ejuicedfender installed on aggrasive, but i still cant get out much from the phone, i have right now on eaglybloods latest 1.5.
Running for 22h 4min
Screen on low: 39%
OS: 15%
Phone inactive: 12%
Voicecall: 9%
Mobile rest: 6%
Android system: 6%
Mediaserver: 4%
Now i havent used it alot, turn of everything i can, when screen of running on 2g only and such, i havent used it alot, listen to music for totaly 1h 30m. No surfing and such.
What roms and kernels have you used and what have you gotten out of it?
What extra apps maybe taskkillers and such do you use or think is good to get more battery?

Bad battery life? Do some searching and read his kernel thread. Battery life has been amazing with his past releases. Build 7.1 are heavily exceptional builds.
Anything before that, yes the battery life hasn't been so good. But now his focus shifted onto the battery. Many people included screenshots of their battery graph.
Aokp also has a power saver mode, read into that as well

I did run AOKP build 12 for 1 day, and thats how long my battry lastet with nearly no usage at all. The same with eaglyblood all on latest fran kernel, with juicedefender ultimate on agressive setting.
So how can i test and post graphs for you?
What baseband are you on?
Is there any good taskiller i can use?
Dont know what is using so much battery except the screen and i have it on very low always.

I use stock 4.0.2, non rooted or unlocked bootoader, and I find the battery life better than most android phones i've used previously. However, occasionally, it gets low, then i plug it in, and later it's charged again!! As if by magic!! Also i noticed that if i turn it off completely, the battery life is aammmmaaaazzziinnngggg!!! *palms face*
sorry, these battery life threads really get my goat! On a serious note though, one nugget of knowedge that I have taken from messing with android for years is, that if you, like me in the past, have been one of these types that just cannot stop flashing roms left and right, then you will never get to see the full potential of your battery. It does depend of course more on individual usage than anything else, but, settling on a rom of choice and using it normally over the course of a week or so will see you gain an increase in capacity thereafter, just through simple calibration.

Im running AOKP v.13 with Franco's Kernel 9.2 and battery is really great, even on heavy usage. There's almost no batter drain in Sleep Mode (last night ~8 hours, the battery just dropped for 2%).
I've set up my syncs, set up AOKP's Powersave Mode to my wishes and made a ScreenOff Profile for franco's Kernel. That's all, and im still on my second battery loading cycle. Cant wait to see what will happen if it's callibrated well.
With AOKP Rom and its Powersave Mode, you dont even need Juice Defender anymore, its doing nearly the same.

Thank you, i will go back to AOKP in a few days and try build 13, i update you all
My battery holds 1 day 24hours, would say normal use with 2g on when screen of, 3g when screen on, i dont surf on it check facebook maybe 2 times on it, nothing more, text sms and few calls lasting maybe 40min total

How is your standby drain with that setup? 1% per hour? Or less?

Android OS using 100% battery with Milestone 2/Francos kernel?

I just installed this tonight versus the CM9 ive been running for the last 2 weeks and the battery life has been REALLY bad. I don't know if its because its not calibrated but its been awful. Also, android OS has used 100% of the battery so far. Is there something im doing wrong?
I just installed Francos kernel idk if that will help, but I love the ROM i dont want to have to switch back because of battery. I will upload some screenshots of my battery tomorrow at work once i go a day with it fully charged.
Anyone ever see Android OS use 100%?
nope, looking fine here, exactly same configuration milestone 2 and latest franco #12. worth checking what radio you're using.
you could check awake usage using Better Battery Stats and see which apps that killing your battery
Hmmm I'll do a full charge tonight and let it run tomorrow.
Thx

I've been using the same combination as you and I used CPU Spy and Better Battery Stats to find the apps that are hogging the CPU and stopping the phone from going to deep sleep. Now I'm getting an Android OS of 32% which is good, I think.
Also, I did not change the radio from my CM9 from, the from flash doesnt flash radio right ? I had an awesome battery life with the CM9 rom
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
no radio included, you have to manually change it. I'm using XXKK6 right now, which is okay so far. I'm tempted to try leaked radio from Korea KRKK7
but android os usage might not have anything to do with radio, best check with better battery stat
The other day I noticed my android os was at 73% but I still had good batter with 18hrs and over 2hrs screen on time

ics and battery life

At first my girlfriend had her Nexus S updated to ics and immediately we noticed a huge difference in how long her battery lasted and she is the furthest thing from a heavy user.
So when I heard that ics ws being released for our phone my first thought was i hope that what she experienced won't be what i do as we have a better phone right?
Well I am sad to say on a stock but rooted rom I experience the same lack of battery life as her.
Now I am no beginner to Android and have changed all sorts of settings available and nothing syncs on its own and when I unplug my phone from charging in the morning I will need to plug my phone in at night before bed as my phone will be completely dead.
I have to say I am very disappointed in the battery life of thr the stock rom and hope some good kernels make it out to help.

Have you tried to find out which app/process is draining your battery? Better Battery Stats can help you identify what is using up your battery.
I had a big keep awake problem when i first installed stock ICS on my T989D. I did a full wipe of the phone and formatted my internal SD card (after backing things up of course), reinstall the same stock ICS and everything works great now. Battery life is about the same as before (stock GB w/ Synergy kernel), which is about 30 hours with moderate use.
Try CM 9. I get almost 2 days of battery life.

Though I am now on AOKP, I had great battery life on stock ICS as well. But, everything is subjective. How many email accounts are being synced? Do you have Facebook / Twitter / G+ updating every hour? Do you have news feeds continuously updating as well?
I have to agree with the poster above. Get Better Battery Stats and find the culprit draining your battery and work from there.
biggest thing draining the battery is the screen.
you can literally watch the battery usage drop 10-15% in a period of 10 to 15 minutes which is absurd when its set to low.

Wait for kernel development. Its underway as we speak. It will make a significant difference.
Some battery saving tips:
- use juicedefender and set it to aggressive mode.
- use romtoolbox or other programs to underclock cpu frequency.
- also try using telus stock ics. Very good battery life.

I have a brand new T989D (I'm new to Android, former iPhone user) and got the ICS upgrade the day I got it (9 days ago). Battery life is terrible, I'm lucky if I get 10 hours of moderate usage. The phone also tends to run very, very hot. Sometimes apps freeze and all I can do is either wait or, in some cases, remove the battery to reboot.
I'm open to any tips that will get this fixed! I haven't rooted yet (no time). I think I will try those wipe tools and reflash the stock ICS ROM.
First post btw - glad to have joined XDA!

Stock, not rooted, my battery life is great. Something is using your battery up, and flashing some exotic kernel isn't going to change that. The stock kernel works fine. You'll want to find the root of the problem. Keep a real-time (or 1-5s interval anyway) eye on the phone's current (mA) usage, and when it's high for no apparent reason, you'll know that whatever is sucking your battery is doing it right then. That should help you characterize the problem. I've noticed when my WCDMA/GSM radio signal sucks, so does the battery life, so I either turn off the radio or switch to GSM only when I'm in that area. If your display is what's eating your battery, well a kernel can't stop that. Turn the brightness down, leave it on auto-brightness, or just deal with it if you need the display on all the time. But if tweaking and modding makes you happy, by all means...

I have the same complaint. The "screen" battery usage is just unacceptable, especially compared to GB. My phone has been draining from a full charge for ~4.5 hours and my screen usage is 70% and battery is down to 65% with hardly 10 minutes of screen-on time.
I use an app called autostarts and you basically enable/disable apps that start running when certain events happen (phone startup, wifi being turned on, incoming call/sms/mms, other apps turning on, etc.). Just make sure you do your homework so you dont disable something critical. Hopefully this app works on ICS. You'll be surprised what different events make certain apps turn on automaticly. Screen, data/wifi, gps and bluetooth are the biggest battery drainers. No matter what Rom you are on if you don't keep control of those items your battery will drain fast. Keep ur screen on auto, let it go off @ 15 seconds ( you have to be pretty used to your phone for that setting not to annoy you), turn OFF your data or wifi when not in use. With bluetooth and gps...well u know that when you use them your battery is gonna drain faster than normal...just keep that in mind. Its all pretty much common sense.
I'm not going to tell you how much battery time I get cuz its nonsense. There are times my phone lasts till the next day and others Im charging it by sundown. Then again Im still on Juggs n Darkside kernel and Im gonna wait a bit still b4 I make the switch. Also don't go by what other people say on battery life cuz if you might not get the same results on that ROM. Everyone of our devices is unique and acts different. Everyone user uses their phone different. You can't define "light, moderate, heavy" use so don't go by that either.

After upgrading to ICS stock unrooted battery life sucked (5-6hrs). I did the whole remove battery, factory reset and still sucked.
Broke down rooted (still stock), downloaded batterycalibration from play, followed the instructions. Easily get over 24hrs before having to charge again. and when I say easily, I mean I still have over 25% left.

Bingo. Vastly different battery life between ROM's is generally BS. Every once in a great while one of these threads has merit but typically someone saying ROM X had "Killer" battery life is clueless and drinking the koolaid. Then a placebo effect takes place. And definitely someones "Heavy" use is subjective. If someone says they get a day out of an android phone they are not heavy users by my definition. It doesn't happen with heavy use. Perhaps the Razr Maxx or another phone with a very large battery but I've had 5 Android phones. If I get past noon it's because I am not using my phone that much and forget about a full day. It's never happened in the 4 years I've used google OS phones. Never.

Yes exactly, I hate when people post screenshots of their phone getting 24+ hours, I'm there thinking "well obviously they don't use their phone alot". There is no way in hell i could get 24 hours no matter what rom/kernal I use. Im just happy when my phone can make it till I get home at night

Battery life with Jellybean

I know it's still early but has anyone else found Jellybean to have worse battery life compared to ICS? I'm totally stock with only the bootloader unlocked. Usually after a full day use with ICS I have 30% left and with JB I'm around 15%. On a day with heavy use I'm sure I will have to charge in the middle of the day which is very inconvenient. I'm trying to see if it's JB itself or some app which is draining things now that I'm on JB.
I'm finding it to be significantly better actually. I couldn't make it through a full day on ICS most days. With JB i'm easily above 30% most days at end of the day.
Maybe its because you like more your phone now and therefore you spend more time playing with it
Do you have Google Now enabled? The frequent location pings and GPS wakelocks drain the battery

Mine seems worse compared to 4.0, phone doesn't go to deep sleep and keeps waking up ... maybe it's my Exchange email account, but this was fine when I was on 4.0.
How is your phone sleeping?
This may seem a strange suggestion, but I've found that leaving wi-fi on, even when I'm not using a wi-fi network seems to even out the battery drain. Helps to get Google Now working 100% as well. So try that when you can. I've found it works fantastically for me.

Stock vs. stock ROMs (both using LeanKernel as well) I've found Jellybean to actually have better battery life. I managed four hours of screen on time with the stock battery yesterday and today, something I could never come close to accomplishing with stock ICS.
turn off wifi, gps and 3g, and you'll go far. Turn em on only when necessary. I leave google now on. I'm only at 40% after 22 hours. Granted it defeats the purpose of a smartphone, but if I'm at work, working...then I don't need all those things turned on.
Turn off Google now of you don't really use it. I loved playing with it for a few days and realized it wasn't THAT useful for me I only really used weather. I keep the voice search active and turned the cards off. I just use a decent weather widget and maps WHEN I'm travelling if worried about time. HUGE battery saving. So many (understandable) wakelocks when activated.

It's weird, it seems the battery life is worse, but it could be that I'm using it more than before. The on-screen time does seems slightly better than on ICS, but I'm going to need more testing before I can confirm...

Hmmm...I will try that out, thanks. Google now was fun to play with the first couple days but if it means I need to charge middle of the day forget it. I will try turning it off and see what kind of results I get.
For the record, I've left all my GPS, Wifi and sleep settings intact from ICS so those settings shouldn't have effected my battery life.
I don't care for Google Now, just the new voice search part.

I'm actually getting better battery life on Jelly Bean than I was on Ice Cream Sandwich. Running at a higher clock isn't the only thing (or the main thing, I think) that gives Jelly Bean it's buttery smoothness.
Google really put effort into improving Vsync on the device, which mainly gives the device that buttery feel.

Battery drain on clean Rom installs.

The last few nights, I have tried a few different JB Roms. All with the same results. My GNex has a full charge before I go to bed, I wake to my phone telling me to charge it 8 hours later. With NO wifi or network data on. This can't be normal.
The roms:
ASCENT 3.0
Jelly Belly 4.0
New Unofficial Cyanogen Release.
No extra apps installed. Purely stock.
Tonight, I'll try it in airplane mode, and see if my network coverage is what's draining the battery. But for the most part I'm never without a signal.
Any ideas or ways I can see if the battery is just bad?
Also, what would the current Verizon radios be? I believe mine are up to date, but I guess that could be an issue if it is indeed my network signal being dropped.
Im on the 07/27 fitsugly cm10 rom with r225 franco kernel and for some reason my battery life has gone through the roof, after 30 hours of being on the battery is still at 56%. Granted im not using it much now but still i've never seen this type of battery life before. Overnight the battery dropped maybe 4% at best, wifi is always on and its fetching emails.
How odd have you tried charging up and resetting the battery stats ? May help

Try better battery stats... I am on gsm nexus.
I tried jelly belly, minco , paranoid android, and xenonHD plus bigxies stock. I've used Francisco Francos kernel on bigxies and that gave good battery life but the others all burned cpu and battery, specifically via Android.mediascanningservice. and maps.
Right now I am back to stock 4.1.1 rooted courtesy of rom toolkit and with better battery stats and cpu spy I have a cool phone.
One thing you should be aware of is if you have a lot of media on your phone the scanning service can take a long time to run and calm down. I I upgraded my bosses razr to ICS and his phone took all night to update I guess he has lots of music on it...
To increase battery life you can install titanium backup and freeze maps, and wallet when I not in use. You can install rescan media from the app store and trunk off media scanning service. Or just buy a bigger battery.
This is not a knock on the custom roms. The rom teams mentioned above they are all awesome and are the reason us crackflashers have so much fun. I have learned lots from this experience and have a better grasp on how my phone works due to the efforts of these devs. For now I am sticking with stock... I'm sure I'll be flashing again soon.
You can never judge a ROM on battery life within a day. Every ROM I flash gets bad battery on the first cycle and most the time even the second cycle. You really have to stick with a ROM/kernel combination for at least a few days to be able to judge battery life. It may just be a placebo effect but I use a battery calibration app each time I flash

Resetting battery stats accomplishes nothing related to battery life or reported percentage. It's been debunked some time back by Google.

Best ROM for Battery and Data Use?

I am sure this has been asked, but I really need some help with this. I am using fully 4.1.1 STOCK and I do use the data on my phone quite a bit, but I don't see how after 6 hours, my phone is completely dead after a full charge. Screen on time was roughly an hour and a half! What is the BEST ROM with the best Kernel even, for battery life and extensive use of data?
The max I could get waas 2 hours screen on time, 3G really hurts your battery, I don'think theres anything that can change that
stock is always best.

Really? Damn. Well, I turned off all the Location services as well as set the brightness to the lowest possible setting. Guess I'll see how that works. But really, that sucks. I wasn't even on it that much, only a few hours

No I don't think so. Are you using the Verizon or GSM version. There must be something with your phone or the settings, possibly a wake lock issue. With the GSM version and 2000mAh battery I can pull 3-4 hours of on screen time, using roms like AOKP and Franco Kernel. I turn off data, wifi, gps and bluetooth until I need them.
Can you go into Settings -> Battery an take a screenshot. Then press on the "battery graph" to reveal the history details screen and take another screenshot.
Not sure if it work with stock, but holding the Power + Volume down button should take a screenshot.
Every bodies phone acts different with certain ROM and kernel combinations I have had good luck with lean kernel but that doesn't neccassarily mean you will

For your display brightness, you may want to install Screen Filter. Its in the market. Especially without having to tinker with the display settings it lets you dim it down even lower than the lowest setting. Also great for movie viewing in a low/no light setting.
I think this requires root, but you should try Better Battery Stats, select partial wake locks since charged, and see what the culprit is.
CPU spy would also be a good one to see what frequencies your cpu is running on the most.
I'm currently on liquid beta 1. It seems to hold battery quite well compared to cm10. I also use trinity kernel, and the TKT app.

Don't 100% believe her, but wouldn't hurt to try.
I personally am loving AOKP Black Jelly Bean ROM The battery life is pretty average though
Using android revolution HD 6.0.1 stock kernel, stock battery, brightness @20% get 25hr battery life with 4hr screen on time.

I'll just go back to CM10 JellyBro Nightly KANG and hope for the best. I hear both the Trinity and Franco kernels are good for battery life. Anyone confirm this?

I used Franco for a good 4 months but now I switched and I like Trinity a lot more. The colors are so much netter on the screen. But its up to you, do some testing to see which u like better

DroidTh3ory's Patient Zero V3. He's not on XDA anymore, though, he has his own website at droidhive.com. Battery life and speed is always phenomenal on all his ROMs.

I've got my first android device just a bit longer than a week ago so I haven't had the chance to test a lot of ROM+kernel setups.
