What are the best scripts to add to CM 7.2 to make it's battery life better and also to make it overally faster. It lasts 2 days with almost no use for me. And half a day with moderate to high use.
did you use slaidyboot scrip? it relly good..battery with 2days.i using cm7!!!

I'd like to hear some experiences that everyone is having on how the battery life is on the stock ROM (POST OTA, NOT OVERCLOCKED) vs custom ROMs (Again, NOT overclocked).
I've tried the Virtuous ROM, and as expected the battery life got slurped down like coca-cola! CM6.1 isn't as bad, but still seems to suck the life out of the battery quite a bit faster than stock.
Is everyone seeing similar? What makes the stock ROM so much better on the battery?
My experience was actually quite the opposite. When I switched to CM, my battery life improved by about 20-25%. I have a NAM Desire Z so it was running HTC Sense over Froyo.
Remember that it takes a few days of usage for your battery to 'calibrate' itself to the new ROM. My first two days on CM were really bad, but since then, battery life has improved greatly. Yesterday, after moderate use and 15 hours, I still had 45% of my battery left. With my stock ROM, I would be lucky to get 15 hours of use out of the phone period.
As far as overclocking goes, I haven't seen much of a difference in battery life. Reason is, even though you are overclocked when the screen is on, you can adjust settings to under-clock at other times, saving battery power.
I would recommend trying a Custom ROM for 4-5 days, that will give you a better idea about its battery life. Also, there are lots of settings you can tweak that affect battery life greatly. Widgets, background data, signal strength... SOO many variables in personal usage that battery life is going to fluctuate user to user regardless.
Im using cm7 nightly builds (currently 100) and i was just wondering has any one had better experience with different kernels that give better battery life? I really have been seeing poor battery results and im barely even doing anything! Most of the time my brightness is at zero or like 20 percent, and i even have 3g turned off alot. Any one have any tips or suggestions for battery life? I normally can get about 8 hours use if i barely do anything on it. (also running the latest incredikernel)
i was using froyo version for about 2 weeks and imo it's the most stable rom with best battery life i have used! Yesterday i switched to gingerbread version to get better audio in camcorder! and the audio is surely better! but battery life seems a bit worse than froyo.. maybe i need to recalibrate my battery... but wanted to know in general, which one is better? and especially which one has better battery life?
hi,
used both of them. GB is a good battery life but you should use it for at least 2 days.
need cycles charge/discharge batt.
actually used to go home with 50% bat available and normal use... 3g connectivity all day +sms + facebook + some ather app about 45 min usage.
I agree with fragargon: battery life was terrible the first couple of days (I was also flashing stuff quite a lot) but it seems better today. Will report again later.
Hello,
I'm use to the battery life of the KF on CM7-based ROMs. The KF can be in standby mode for a week or three.
I love the speed and features of the CM9-based ROMs but it seems like the battery only lasts 3-4 days in standby mode.
I don't use my KF daily, so it's nice to know if I pick it up in a week to check email, there's still some juice left.
What do you suggest in terms of the most battery-friendly CM9 ROM?

All of them pretty much have the same battery life.

What would be the best ROM for battery life? I'm using CyanogenMod atm and the battery life is decent. If I flash Android Rev. would I sacrifice battery life and if so by how much?

Battery usage is completely subjective so what will be awesome for one may be absolute crap to another. Only way you'll know is to try it yourself

As mentioned, battery life is completely up to your usage. Some steps to try though which can be used across any rom is to give Rom Cleaner a shot and to use Greenify. This will rid any rom of bloat that could be sucking up battery and better allow the device to enter deep sleep where the real battery savings are had.
A well optimized kernel would give you some savings as well. I can personally say that on ARHD 5.5 with Elemental kernel .15 I'm seeing about 70% battery left at the end of a normal day. For me though that may only be one 20 minute call and an hour of screen on time. Even when flashing and messing with tons of settings for hours, the phone has never reached a critical battery level for me. I
It's more about the way you optimize (or debloat) your phone , than the ROM you are running. Use battery monitors like GSam or Battery Drain Analyzer and freeze apps that are causing you huge drain. Greenify is also good. Ideally on the M8 you can expect around 6 hours of screen time if you're optimized correctly.

This. I am able to get about 6 hours on stock, ARHD and Insertcoin. With power saver on, that ends up around 7-8 hours of screen time. Coming from a Nexus 5 that got 4 hours typically, I'm pretty satisfied. I'm inclined to believe ARHD will get "slightly" better battery life than CM since it is based off the stock ROM on the M8.
Generally the OEM skinned roms have better battery life and benchmark scores opposed to aosp. Happens all the time on Sammy phones and HTC apparently too. Posts above mine cover most you'll need to know. Its all about optimization and frankly that part is extremely fun and especially rewarding IMO. Gives me an idea for something like a community made thread on different battery tweaks/voltages :good:

Thanks for all the feedback guys
I'm currently using Android Rev. 6.1 odexed (using ART atm) with ElementalX 0.10. I don't know if this is a placebo effect or not, but after flashing ElementalX(with default settings) my battery life seems worse :/
