Whats your definition of moderate? Screen brightness? Apps? Cpu intensive apps? Screen on time? Talk time? Stanby? wifi or data? Good signal bad signal?

I just got the tmobile s2.. and my battery sucks. I rooted and isntalled Liquid Smooth but battery is still pretty bad. Whats a good combo to try!?

I also used the Juggernaut and Darkside combo when I first got my phone but that was ages ago. Just before getting rid of my S2 I was using Jedi Mind Trick X3 and the kernel that's baked into it. It was loaded with features, smooth and had excellent battery life.

Aokp m1 or Cm10 with KKO kernel is my favorite for batt/speed . That's just me tho .

Hi im looking for the best rom with the best battery life. i had one a while back i was on battery for 15 hours and still had half a battery left i took a screen shot and i was actually using my phone too! open to any suggestions just wanna see how long i can get this baby to last

what are you two getting as far as battery life

Blazer 4.0 or 4.1 rom. EL29 or FC24 Modem is Bo$$ for battery life.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

FYI.. everyone has a different experience with modems.. one person may be best with el29 another may be best with FDwhatever, and as far as roms go your probably going to hear alot of blazer, and calks.. battery life also depends on stuff in your phone.. like apps and settings.. 3g, wakelocks, background data, wifi.. all that kinda **** will vary your battery life..
you probably already know this, but just pointing it out.. trying to help out around here. =)

Two days on charge, almost 3 or 4 hours of on screen time.

I've gotten the best battery life absolutely hands down on codename YMMV

I just went to calks e4gt 3.0 first time ive been on gingerbread since i got the phone bc as soon as i got it i went to ics lol. very smooth. calk always does amazing work. ill let you guys know how i end up and yea i usually dont mess with profiles seeing as how it already has a battery saver script but i usually roll with 3g off all day unless i wanna surf the internet a little bit then ill turn it on check fb..etc then turn it off drastic increase from having it on all day

I'm using blended ROM from from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20166744 so far I've had excellent battery life.

Wow that's nice. I could probably get that too if I uninstalled tapatalk and angry birds lol.
And I'm running cm9 too (shabbypenguin8-06). Lasted 16 hours before it died today with 3 hours screen time. Not too shabby imho (pun completely intended lol)

Think I've already cast my vote hehe. 1 hr 34 min screen on so far

Exceed 2 hours???

Anybody find a nice trick pass that screen time barrier??? Most people reach 2 hours and it seems no one can pass that barrier.
The only thing you can affect and make better is when the phone is off.
The farthest I've reached is 2h 30m on a light day.

I check everywhere about exceeding 2 hours and everyone is like oh this rom is that and gives me 4 hours with such and such and such kernel

I get 2 hours on wifi or 4G LTE or just plain 'ol 3G.

I turn my 3G data / wifi off whenever I don't use it. I usually get over 3 hours, not using an extended battery.

I was on skankwich and the samurai kernel at the time. Currently running jelly bean and samurai but there are issues with deep sleep for some reason.
Lazy governor fiops IO scheduler I used voltage control to under volt and control the CPU. If you have been using interactive then that may be why your battery drains.

Can you prove it was black?
Anyways, I had AOKP B39 + Franco 196, and it was amazing. 5.5 hours sometimes, usually 5 hours as the 2nd post shows.
Usually never had data turned on for more than 30 minutes overall, but Wi-Fi was on for most of the time. CPU speed was at 192-1036 MHz. Never really got around to UVing, mostly forgot about it cause I got such great battery.

I get 3+ hours easily on my GSM nexus, I've heard that the battery life is worse on the Lte version.

3 hrs of screen time still 40% battery gsm running jelly bean ROM from ROM manager

Did I mention I use Verizon.
Of course GSM gonna stretch.

From 100% to 0 using continously, it takes my phone around 4/30 hours to discharge

I've always had the understanding that your screen should use the most. Here is mine in HORRIBLE coverage (no bars and back and forth from 3G to 1x) normally my screen % is pretty close to yours. I am running aokp build 38 with auto brightness oc to 1113 max 245 min uv -1 step across the board with smartassV2 governor and noop scheduler.

Mine usually looks like yours. Only difference in our setups is I'm on the v10 kernel. (Not 10.5)
Another way to increase battery life/decrease that screen percentage is to use custom backlight settings and levels. I found some in a thread here a while back that helped my battery life significantly on the stock battery. Using the same setup as above poster and the custom backlight settings I get ~3 days on an extended battery with light usage.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium

I think 10.5 is not great on battery life.

I can provide the v10 kernel via Dropbox if you guys want....I haven't seen it anywhere lately.
Credit to Aeroevan of course for the the awesome kernel.

Ive been running aeroeven v9 for a couple days now and I'm liking it, so I'm a little hesitant to try v10
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app

I'm also running Aeroevan's CM9 (7/12), but using the 10.5 kernel. No overclocking, and I have the brightness on auto at all times. Have the wifi on when at home, scarcely have GPS on. Sync on all the time. I usually get two days of battery life, but at that point the battery goes down to under 10%, so I usually charge at least once a day to keep it higher.

Smoothest JB rom?

Hi!
I wonder which JB rom i should choose if i prefer smoothness before functions?
There are only twofunctions that i really want. First of all a T9 dialer is a requirement, I also want to change the Navbar hight so that the buttons get smaller.
Wich rom should i choose?
Thank you in advance!

Mincos was very smooth while I was using it but I found that the battery life wasn't that good. This was on v3 but test yourself

Stock. I'm all about battery life, stock + trinity is not bad in terms of smoothness. I'm still testing the battery life but so far it seems aokp + trinity is better.

Yes.

Like I always say, just go with stock if you want smoothest ROM. If you want more customization and such, that's where custom ROMs come in.
I also found that all the kernels that I've used (Stock, Air, Franco, Trinity, Popcorn) has about same battery life with some tweaks, such as undervolting, underclocking and such.

I love the extra options a custom kernel 'unlocks' though. As for the battery life, so far I haven't seen much (if any) difference between franco's kernel and stock.

Use AOKP build 1 with milestone 5 as my kernel, and i might say it flows like well butter. Tried Android Revolution Hd and AndroidMe Cm10 and found AOKP the best.

I personally recommend the CM10 Euroskank Jellybro ROM. In combination with the Air Kernel. You have tons of options, extreme smoothness all the time, no random reboots, and absolutely astounding battery life.

Rasbean Jelly ROM with Trinity Kernel. Best combo ever if you are using a GSM version.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Both CM10 and AOKP feel the same to me. It's the kernel that makes the big performance differences.
As far as ROMs I like AOKP for the UI features and Franco works well for performance and battery.

Stock for battery and smoothness
i'm currently testing ARHD+FauxKernel so far so good =]
