what currently is the best Ics rom in terms of battery life?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
The newer the build, the better. Current is fc18.

I was running the CM9 experimental, but battery life was awful. I'm now running FC15 EpicTouchAOSPmod ICS, and battery life is MUCH improved. Thread Here
Not that I've done a lot of testing, but it seems Caulkin's ROMs that undervolt the CPU seem to have good battery life.
I imagine other ROMs also do this, but I've only used Caulkin.
10 people can give you 10 answers. It's very true that your mileage may vary. Like the guy a few posts ago said he didn't have good battery on CM9 but I find the battery on cm9 to be great.
your best bet is to flash something you're interested it, give it 2-3 charge cycles for the battery to settle in then see how it lasts for you after that. As a general rule, you can't accurately judge battery life until its gone through a few cycles first.
I'm running calks e4gt 2v1.2 which is fc 18 and battery life is great so far.

Mijj ics ROM is hands down the best and keeps the most recent updates to every leak rolling in.....you should try it out asap!!!!!

Best battery life so far is FC18 stock rooted. Just flashed Calk's ROM for FC18 a few minutes ago so we'll see how that goes.
MIJJZ Blend "Goodness" 2.5 with stock kernel is smooth as butter and has had good battery life for me

I'm using Calk's 1.2 rom on fc18 (which just dropped today) and battery life has significantly improved for me personally

I'm on Caulkin EL29 rom
Modem: FC15
Kernel: Rogue Desperado
With great battery life.
Everyone will tell you different. Ive gotten great battery life with Calkulins GB roms. Though, alot of people will say Blazer. Its the ONLY ROM I run on my phone now.
I've used almost every single rom since gb.
The way I'm measuring the battery life is,
1. Calibrate battery whenever I flash the new rom.
2. I take a walk almost everyday about 4 miles (spent 1.5 hours). During the walk, I turn on the music player with speaker phone + 3g for lyrics download.
3. Measure the battery consumption just after returned to home
4. The result was very vary based on the roms (+modems)
5. So far, the best result I 've got is thru fd05 (agat's tFD05 + fd05modem/kernel)
6. Based on this calculation I would get about 20- 24 hours with my daily normal usage.

Ive tried Calkulins E4gt GB The battery was great but the performance was a little laggy. I would go for Blazer Rom. Super fast with a great battery
life.
Well My battery life was great with Calk's EL29 rom. Now that I am on Blazer, I get super fast performance but crappy battery. Is there anyway to get extended notification toggles on Calk's Rom??
I am running StrongSteve's Odexed blue just updated last night and I am getting really good battery life. I would have to say the 2 best roms out right now are Phantom Hackers Blazer ROM and Strong Steves Odexed blue. The Odexed blue does run smoother at least on my device than any rom out hands down. Blazer would have to come in as second. I was running blazer with gunslinger v1.41 and fd10 modem with amazing battery life but it was a bit laggy. Odexed blue I am running FD10 modem and stock el26 kernal and the battery life isnt quite as good as on the blazer setup but it runs a lot smoother!
I'd say blazer 4.1

So my battery life is just not good, I'm wondering if there is something I'm doing wrong or not doing.... but even when the phone is off it loses battery life really quick.
Is there maybe something I'm missing or need to do?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Happens to me too...I tried calibrator apps and still no luck i actually left cm9 last night and to rujelus22 it was good but ended up running into problems but maybe you should try flashing a different rom or charge your phone fully then reflash cm9 let the battery drain all the way then charge it again fully...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yeah I wasn't sure if there is some setting I can change, might just end up getting the bigger battery like I did my Evo and call it a day! Other then that I love my cm9
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Hey, I would try to flash an updated kernel for the cm9 alpha 3. Alpha3 comes with FD10 and I found that it made the Android OS drain my battery faster than it should. With FD26 the Android OS drain on my battery has been much lower. However, from what I hear which kernel works best varies on the phone, so I would try a couple others.
I am looking for the best battery saver rom. Suggestion?

I'd say the ROM doesn't particularily matter in regard to battery life. As long as you have a rooted rom, your best bet would be to use a CPU tuner to underclock your device using usage profiles for maximum battery life.
For gb i found juggernaut and synergy. Ics kernel development is underway though so we will find out soon enough. I believe tdj released his tmobile build with venom kernel.

Darkside all the way. On ics and in gb too

TDJ roms
I have tried so many roms and always ended up installing/restoring TDJ roms.
either GB or ICS, his roms are always fast, functional and smooth daily drivers IMO.
you can't go wrong with TDJ roms. give it a try.
I suggest juggernaut for gb. It gave me on average 16-19 hrs of battery life. Darkside is really good to for ics. Although for me it hasn't given me such great battery as juggernaut. BeastMOD 5.0 is another one that in my book give the BEST battery life. I could go more then a day with moderate use.i miss it:/ lol
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Any of the CM7 based roms by Eugene or Beastmod 4.0 by Melvin.
Its very subjective based on your phone, kernal used and how you use your phone. I have seen the best battery life with TDJ roms and now recently I am running Chimeria vs Hercules and batter life is pretty good.
Sorry I know these are annoying. But i havent been in the E4GT forums since I got my S3. I just gave my GF my old E4GT ad it has the stock 4.0.4 ROM. So far she has gotten 6 hours of moderate use out of it. I know i got alot better at one point in time many roms were using KOBRIDGE's tweaks that seemed to help significantly. I was just wandering through a few roms and havent seen it mentioned or much for battery life. A girl is going to be using it so I was just wondering what mostly stable ROM has the best battery.
Thanks folks.
El29 based phantom 4.1 nothing else compares...

Hope we can finally get some good battery life, mine dies fast!
There really is no "best" rom, it depends alot on your usage, the kernel you choose, what tweaks and settings you decide to use, and all all around personal preference. Alot of people complain about battery on ics but I've been using aokp since tcp started porting it and my battery is just as good or better than it ever was when I ran GB, but its all about how I set it up and my usage, plus every single device is different and responds different to each rom/kernel/setting combo, even tho they are the same model phone.
We are legion, for we are many.

My wife has a E4GT and she complained of bad battery life on stock so I rooted and threw a rom on her phone. She says the battery life is still bad. Which rom/kernel would everyone suggest to give her the best (ish) battery performance? Thanks.

OP, Best thing is to try some.. with different kernels.. Do a quick search for ways to extend battery life.. You'll find several post with tips. YMMV compared to other users. Also, Check the battery!!!! Spin test it. Could be a bad battery causing all your issues.
IN BEFORE LOCK!!!!
in beforeeeeeee d lock!
Since people r doing it let me do it i need some excitement in my day.

I've had very good battery life with Re-calked, Blu Kuban, and currently I'm on Sleshpic's M'ICS, and it looks quite promising as well.
All three are fantastic ROM's in their own right, so give 'em a shot.
It should be pointed out that I haven't found a single ROM that was "great" an an area with a weak cellular signal ... that can really cream your battery in a hurry. I have a weak signal in my office, so I'll burn through 50% in 8 hours on most ROMs. But when I'm in a strong service area (like at my house), I can get a 24hr cycle with 2-3 hrs screen time fairly regularly.
If you want to get into tweaking even further, people have claimed results even better than this.
I will second recaulked rom great battery life and stable
