Alright guys, whats your opinion: which rom has the best battery life?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
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
Stock 4.0.2, stock kernel with uv/384mhz and UGKK7 radio. Amazing.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.

How is your standby drain with that setup? 1% per hour? Or less?
Been playing with many combinations of ROM and kernel yet seems no matter what I try battery life is poor. Right now running coreDroid 1.3.3 with latest Franco kernel seems so so with slight under voltage settings within setcpu. So what is everyone else opinions? Thanks for feedback!

My best combination has come from AOKP Milestone 3 and Faux's 12u kernel. Usually get 16-20 hours with light/mod usage during the day and heavy usage in the evenings.

Best battery life I've seen yet is the stock 4.0.4 release w/ the kernel that comes with it. I get 4-7 hours with mod-heavy usage and 14-16 hours of light-mod usage.
I get 2-3 hours using Franco's kernel. Really not great. I should look around for a better kernel to suit my usage.

Jeez you use your phone a lot. I'm on kang 1/31 with faux's kernel. I use my phone for the commute to work and turn off lte when I get there. Mostly music and reading. I have it underclocked at 1060mhz and running under performance governor, it helps me check my phone and send out texts at work faster. Then at night I flip on lte again and a lot of the times go out. I don't think 15 hrs is too bad.

best battery life i had was 36 hours with moderate usage. no lie.
aokp b17 + francos 13.1, smooth and amaziiiiiing battery life. if i wasn't a flash junkie, i would be sitting on that right now.
I'm a little confused by your post. Are you developing a kernel or a rom? Either way looking forward to the release.

I mean screen on time!
I got 42 hours without charging the phone yesterday, with 2 hours 40 minutes screen on time. I was using it very sparingly over the period though.
If we you want this thread to be useful we need to make sure all posts at least state screen ON time. Even then there are so many other factors:
Screen On Time
Total Up Time
GSM/LTE
ROM
Kernel
Kernel Freq
Kernel Governor
Screen Brightness (Avg)
WIFI state
BT State
etc
Okay so I'll start...
Screen On Time - 3-4hrs
Total Up Time - 14 to 25hrs
GSM/LTE - GSM
ROM - AOKP 22
Kernel - Franco 16.2
Kernel Freq - 700/1000
Kernel Governor - Turtle
Screen Brightness (Avg) - <40%
WIFI state - On
BT State - Off
Clarify Battery Life Info
I am not developing anything. I am just wondering what people that flash different kernels and roms have experienced and settled on as far as best battery life. In my sig there is the one I currently use. I actually have been trying franco kernel lately and that seems to be slightly better. Its tough to tell since I try to plug in the phone as often as possible either to outlet or my laptop. Does that help clarify what I am curious about??
I'm using the Verizon GNex running CM10 Kang with GLaDOS Kernel, and to put it simply, my battery life sucks. It drains 50% in about 2/3 hours.
How can I make it last longer???
Thanks!

paranoidandroid with trinity 307 gpu has been amazing for me
AndroidME + Trinity
I get horrendous battery life on just about every rom and kernel I try that's just a gnex I guess, that being said air kernel has significantly increased my battery life on any rom I use it on. Settings I use are 1200 max 230 min smartass2 governor and sio scheduler

I don't think that there is much difference between Custom rom and Adroid versions, I noticed that JB seems to be more of a power drain hog than ICS.. But as usual it mainly depends on your personal usage and the main drain source is (then) always the screen.
Lowering the screen brightness will have more effects than kernels and custom roms

Haha me too! I have to be doing something wrong.
should try out rasbean and trinity kernel. I got about 4h 40mins screen time
There isn't one... and nobody can tell YOU what kind of battery life YOU'RE going to get. Try something and make it work for you

well, i've been testing, and now i have nearly 24 hours of medium use with MIUIv4 with GLaDOS kernel
liquidsmooth v2 beta 1 with trinity
Although it still has a few bugs it's really fast and smooth and I get about 15-18 hours with 2-3 hours screen on and a few apps keeping phone awake

Hey folks,
I'm experiencing a very poor battery life on CM10 nightlies, something like overall 7 hours maximum with around 1.5 hours screen on, which is really bad
I've tried the below kernels:
1- ncx from v7.4 to v8.0b5
2- TripNDroid Unleashed 3.1.20-22a
I've tried them with no luck to get better, meanwhile previously on stock and custom sense roms i get around 18 hours and 3.5 screen on time, any tricks, fixes, or solutions, as i really need to get rid of this f-cking sense, i really hate it
I could get around 4hrs screen on time with NCX and CM10. Try underclocking and using ondemand governor
which nightly? and which version of NCX? also underclocking to 1000 or 1200 or what?

It was a nightly from a week or so ago but I got the same battery life on all nightlys, they're pretty much identical. Think I was running at 1200. My HOX is being repaired atm so I'm not sure.

, and hotplug_enable is not there, so echoing a 1 into it (obviously) doesn't work. How do I enable hotplug on my phone? As mentioned, running CM10 Stable with Franco Kernel M6 Stable (latest stable, basically).
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Flashed the nightly Franco Kernel build (r300), and hotplug_enable is still not there. Battery's been pretty crappy recently, no idea why (I get like at most 8 hours with 4 hours screen-on time, used to get 12-14 hours with 4 hours screen-on time), and it's bugging the hell out of me. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

it has to be included in the kernel, its a governor. if its not there, you cant enable it. only other way is to compile franco kernel yourself, from franco kernel source, and then include it. it seems as youre getting the same battery life. 4 hours screen on time is 4 hours. difference is before you were letting it lay around between uses longer. if i use my device to the extreme, for hour straight screen on time, and thats all it lasts batterywise, its the same as using it lightly for 20 hours and getting 4 hours screen on time. its all about how you use it.

I see, thank you for your input. I will just try out the nightly r300 build for now and see if it improves anything.
