[Q] Battery Rom Question. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hellos guys I would like to know wich Rom out there has the best battery life.??? Im running the latest juggernaut..thanks.

I would say dewizzled
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I'm not sure if you can just say best battery life is XXX as everyone's usage patterns are different and different aspects drain the battery faster than others. I have found Dewizzed to give me the best life out of all of the ones I've tried, but I don't get near the time that many post in that thread. The one difference is that when they post their usage stats I never see "Voice Calls" in the top half of the apps using battery, whereas if I look at mine right now Voice calls is #1 at 53% and Display is #2 at 18%. I use my phone heavily as a phone during the workweek, others use it as a media device, others gaming...you get the idea.
Try Dewizzed and try a couple of others. It's easy to flash and then restore or go back to one that works better for you (plus the geek in me thinkgs that is fun too).

How about NO ROM? I am using stock right now, but using Faux #009 mainstream Kernel. I was running Jugg 4.1 before, but went back to stock after having some issues with texts not going through.

Im going to try some of the roms.. I
Thanks guys

WOW! thats pretty impressive. what's your time on display?

I was wondering the same thing. But more along the lines of which rom kernel combo people are running. Now to hijack original posters thread, but if people could also put what kernel they are running too. The best I ever got was BeastMod with Synergy, but once he left the building I don't feel like any of the other ones have been as good.

That tells us little, click on display and show us how much time the display has actually been on

From my experience, it is not necessarily the rom that effects the battery life as much as the kernel does. Every rom I have installed I end up changing the kernel to synergy 10 and see a big increase in battery life.

+1 on the syngery kernel.

+1 on Synergy kernel
Juggernaut was OK for battery life, much better than stock, but I couldn't be any happier than with BeastMOD and synergy kernel.

Display time on and brightness? From the graph it doesn't seem like you used the phone for too much and we don't know how bright your screen was, time on voice calls and any other applications. Why is it that people don't know how to post battery life correctly? Your wifi was on most of the time and wifi uses less battery than data connectivity plus we don't know the type of reception you were receiving. Edge consumes less battery than 3G. These are all factors that need to be taken into consideration to draw a clear conclusion on your battery life.

Why don't you make a list of each rom you want to try, then take the time to flash each one and run each for about a week. Since battery life and performance is directly related to each users set up and personal style of use. This way in about 4 or 5 weeks you can actually make a determination on your own as to what is best for you.

In the middle of the graph, it goes from red all the way up to ~85%. The green bar below the graph also shows how long it's been charging which is DEFINITELY not 30 seconds.
best battery life is very subjective to the user. and remember that the display on this phone is power hungry to say the least. i hope that very soon all phones will come out with non removable batteries. people that need extra power can carry a portable power pack instead of an extra battery. and for those who complain about the longevity of the battery have obviously never used a phone with built in battery or done their research and are simply relying on that crutch of being able to swap the battery just because they can.
WOW...anyway....my point when i started this was that no one can tell you what works best for you...you have to figure that out on your own.

So your phone magically regained battery life?
You can clearly see the green charging bar in the middle, not to mention the fact that battery graphs don't go up by themselves.
I was using BlackICE 37 w/ the newest Air Kernel for a while and was experiencing some really good battery life!
I then tried Slim ROM with the same kernel and the battery life was ok...I'm now using the Samurai Kernel and I'm liking it!
Sorry no screenshots, but I have had 17hrs at 50% (about 7hrs were standby cuz I was asleep and didn't plug my phone in to charge over night!)
I'm on AOKP and Franco kernel its pretty good for me, I'm not getting 36 hours a charge but its better than put of the box.

Best ROM/Kernel combo for battery?

Been getting horrible battery on my Sprint GNex. Currently running Paranoid Android with that kernel and still getting **** battery life. What's the best combination that is working for you all? I'm getting around 7~9 now. I used to get a whole day out of my OG Evo.
Sigh another battery thread.
Was this battery over 3G? How long? What was the display time? Need more info bud. Not just help my battery life sucks...

ROM? No idea. Kernel? Trinity
Not every ROM and Kernel combo is the best for everyone. YOU have to see which work best for YOU and YOUR usage. All these are really "hey let's all post what we're using because it's our favorite and if we're using it it MUST be the best"

CM9 SKANK/TRINITY alpha 85~4.7~1344-307=4 hrs or more screen on time and about stands still on standby. I do not allow anything to run in background (manually update when needed) and I only have apps I use on my phone. I have ran this setup for wks. Just updated to today's build.. With this kernel I've had no reboots but if u do try Trinity and have a reboot bump voltage up a hair till it quits. It will. And never have I gotten the screen time I do w Trinity w/ any other kernel. Been through the list. Also this rom, its the most dependable there is in my opinion. Scrolls like no other!! Lots of new options like status bar on bottom..much more!! Still flawless!

No it isn't "another battery thread" I wanted to see what people were getting. I don't run 3G or wifi really at all unless I'm using them. I know how to use my battery. I also know it matters for each phone. The stuff I have tried isn't giving me the results I think are possible with my phone. Obviously the stuff I am trying hasn't worked. There isn't much more info NEEDED. I asked basically what people were getting and on what combinations. Someone else's combination might do wonders for me. I'll try trinity since many people are suggesting it. I'll run it over PA for now, and see what I'm getting.

I have the gsm gnex and i'm using AOKP build 39 with franco kernel nightly 192 and i constantly get around 3 1/2 to 4 hour screen on time. In my opinion the best combo. Experimenting with different kernels is however fun.

Best ROM for battery life?

Hi all,
As we all know, battery life for the One X sucks big time.
I need to know which ROM of the ones posted in the development section is better when it comes to battery life.
My current state is consuming 50% of it in the first two hours and this is horrible for me.
Appreciate your assistance!
Try Viper ROM, but I'm using RD MIUI now, I'm tired of Sense. Btw I have only 2G, but with 3G, the battery works fine.
EDIT: I don't recommend CM9 or AOKP, on these, multi-touch doesn't work correct, I games u have onetouch instead of multi-touch.

I don't have my screenshot, but I had around 60% battery left on Viper, and I used WiFi, communicators, XDA app, and some gaming. And Viper have a lot of tweaks, so u can personalize it as u want.

I read in onexroot.com that LeeDroid suppose to be a good rom, concerning battery life time.
I would be glad if someone that have experience with this rom could say something about it, if it really good.
Does everything work with this rom? or it have some problems?

There is no work going on in Leedroid ROM since may as Leedroid is having some personal issues so he is been away from xda.
It was a good ROM.
You should either go for ARHD ROM or ViperX ROM{ if u love customizations } and jan - the main developer of ViperX ROM was also the creator of Leedroid tweaks
This is my battery life on InsertCoin with faux 6m. Always got great battery life with this ROM.

I'm using RD-MIUI 2.8.10 CM9 version with ncx kernel. On my third battery cycle I got roughyl 2 days 8 hours on battery and about 3.5 hours of screen time.
Try ARHD. It keeps sense 4.1 while having excellent battery life and nice performance and eye candy.

Custom Kernel - What do you say?

Hi everyone, for a long time i see ppl claiming their phone last longer due to a custom kernel.
Normally i read they saying "i could never make my phone lasting with 2hs screen on or lasting for 2 days".
Anyway, its obviously that this will depend 100% what ppl do with their phone accordingly to apps, widgets, syncing, etc.
For me, normally i have around 3 and a half hour screen on and around 1 day and a half to 2 days.
I do use WiFi and 3G alot... browsing, gaming, texting, etc.
My point is that i belive ppl have a placebo effect. Custom kernel will give you faster response, OC ability and other advantages.
What do you guys say?
Attached are some screenshot from my 100% stock phone.

I just believe some of the little tweaks devs do to a custom kernel do make a difference.
I bag 4h30m on my gnex regularly.
Yea I totally agree that stock performs just as well in the battery life department. All I care about is having root.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Your battery life won't really get better than that. I really agree that there's often a placebo effect in switching roms/kernels, i only use a different kernel for color settings volume boost via Francos app. Stick with stock though I'd say, but of course it's always nice to try out kernels, despite the placebo effect.
Speaking of which though, I'm performing a real life test seeing which governors on my kernel work best for battery life. I simply switch then lol at my screen on time and see if it's improved, I'm assuming hotplugx will win, so we'll see. Interactive is still a great balanced on though.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
It made a difference for me personally, because I wasn't getting very good battery life at all with the stock kernel. The other tweaks were also a pretty good bonus.
You're getting pretty great battery life as is though, I wouldn't worry too much about changing to a custom kernel if you're consistently getting numbers like those.
Thanks everybody for the feedback. I guess we are all at the same page.

Battery life or not but performance of the phone definitely improves with custom kernels... Asphalt 7 use to lag a bit on stock JRO03C but after trying Franco kernel Milestone 6 no lag or reboots whatsoever..
In fact I have a placebo that custom kernels reduce battery life
Worth it for the small performance improvements alone but I do get a little better battery life.
Even a few percent better is better than nothing when you sit in a building with poor reception and your battery takes a hit from your phone having a low signal

3+ hours screen on time, 12+ hours standby. I didn't think it was possible, my battery bad been draining pretty quickly. I think the key this time was that I was on WiFi all day.

no sync because i don't have the data to go syncing the whole day, auto brightness, 3g outside, wifi at home. Web browsing only, i don't play games on my phone, it's reserved for my computer.
Stock kernel, stock ROM. Turn off auto sync unless you are connected to a wifi hotspot. This will give you 3 hours screen on time and 12+ hours uptime. I have 3 email accounts set up, but they do not sync automatically. I manually check my email in the am, at lunch, and evening.
Stock kernel, unless you can't help but obsess about making your phone "fast". If you want fast, go into Development Options within Settings and turn off all animations, then install a launcher like Nova and turn animations to "faster than light".
I used to flash all kinds of mods on my phone and I realized that was ALL I did with my phone, tinker and troubleshoot it. I will only unlock and root my phone if we stop getting the latest OS updates. In the meantime, nothing is so wrong with the stock kernel and rom that should make you install Bob's OS. But you know, that's the beauty of Android. You can decide what you do with your phone. Hope my point of view makes you reconsider flashing any custom software.

Anyway seems like battery life on 4.4 is on par with 4.3... Would probably be a little better if using ART but qremote won't work so... :crying:

oh I see, my gps just stays on for simple things like facebook and whatnot, not actually using gps to navigate. thanks for the clarification.
I've seen vast improvements in terms of battery life on KK. But I ended up sticking to MIUI as the custom kernel in it gives me the best battery life I've seen on this device. I've done extensive tests on ways to improve battery life across all of my devices for the last 3 years and it mainly seems to boil down to the kernel. As we don't have any custom kernels that support 4.4 or a stable 4.3 kernel, we're stuck using the default CM kernel. The new MIUI over in the general section includes a very well made custom kernel that includes the intellidemand governor which would give me around 6 hours of screen on time in a days use with normal usage with the setup I use. MIUI also gives me the best deep sleep I've seen on.. Well, any device I've used lol. Never been a big fan of it but the battery life is what made me change my mind. It also includes a working version of qremote. The only drawback I've seen is that it's on 4.2.2 but man, is it nice. I'd post battery life screenshots but they wouldn't really be helpful as I've changed to the 9300mAh ZL battery lol.
