Liquid Smooth is also very good. A TON of customization options, and battery life for me was about 24 hours with moderate use.

The newest Milestone should be the most stable.

I am running the same rom but then I can't get the lock screens to work and are you using the Franco kernel?!
I was then flashed the new Trinity Kernel. I hardly ever got 13 hours on Liquid Smooth. I do text quite a bit so I wonder what your definition of 'moderate' use is.

AOKP M5 with Imoseyon's latest LeanKernel with InteractiveX governor!

Well, I've actually switched over to ParanoidAndroid...so I haven't used Liquid Smooth since 1.3. When I did, I was running Popcorn, with "moderate" use being decent amount of texting, 4 hours on HSPA, the rest of the day on WiFi, and total screen on time of about 3 hours?

Start with aokp, then paradigm. Then explore from there.

im running steel droid so far so go , was on aixom to thats pretty nice as well , would love stuff where i can chose from alot of themes i got bored pretty quick , but also has all the goodies that akop has to offer , also im not good at this , id like a rom where i dnt have to do much , its on a good kernel its overlcoked running good and has good battery life to last the day with moderate use

suggest a kernal with best battery life on stock or custom rom

as i m new to g.nexus i want to ask members regarding best combination of custom rom nd kernal
on stock jb i m getting 3 hrs 20 mins of on screen time.

Experiment! My current setup is in my signature. There is no best. I haven't been on the GNex forums too long, but my Nexus S was super picky with what I ran on it, so I just stuck with stock.

Roms with the best battery life.

I was wanting to know which ROM has the best battery life on the Gnex the CDMA version.
Thanks

They are all pretty much the same IMO. The screen sucks up juice so keep it off as often as possible lol

If you want the latest software, most stable, and best battery life ROM, go with MMuzzy's AOSP ROM. Using it now, and its amazing
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

ROMs themselves rarely ever have an actual impact on battery life. Most postive effects for battery come from the kernel, and negative ones from rogue apps.
Before you ask which kernel offers the best battery, it really depends on the requirements of the user and the phone itself. You'll just have to try a few.

That's very true, IMHO LeanKernel is the absolute best.

How do I switch out the kernel. I'm kind of a noob at this stuff...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Flash it like you would a ROM. Make sure you find one that is for the version of android your ROM is based on. I would suggest tying Franco kernel, but there are many good ones.

FYI....this thread goes in general.
Flash kernel in cwm the same as you would have a rom. Be sure to clear cache/dalvik first.

For the moment the ROM with the best battery life is SlimRoms 2.7

I've tried many ROMs and Kernels with no success in the battery life department.
My phone charger died so I downloaded an app...Easy Battery Saver...my phone was still at 34% after 1 day and 7 hours. I was NOT heavily using my phone but still this is the best battery life I have ever experienced. I was always on the "battery saver apps are useless" team until recently.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still flashing
Just love my new app.

i tried miui, pa, vicious, aopk, smooth, and now using cm10. tried out different kernals too,but at the end, all the roms cant pass 1hr 50mins of screen time.

Hmm.. thats strange. I'm on MMuzzy's ROM which is pure AOSP and I get around 2 and a half hours of screen time. And some people around the forums have gotten around 5 hours of screen time with different combinations of ROMS and Kernels.

I have tried numerous roms, if not all of them for the galaxy nexus, and there is a difference between roms, even using the same kernel.
I have been getting amazing battery life using Eclipse.

The mods can move this thread, but in the mean time, it is a good question.
I used to get some awesome battery life. VZW + 2100mah. Typically 4 hours screen on time was normal.... now I'm lucky to get 1hr. I can't remember if it was the jelly bean update or the inclusion of Google Now.

Does letting the ROM settle really help? I have been getting terrible battery life out of my 2100mah. The battery just drains when the screen is off. No rogue apps, but this is a fresh install as of 24 hours ago

I believe use what you like as long as you use Lean Kernel you should get good battery life.

I wasn't going to put my 2 cents in but because there are so many complaints about this being in the wrong place, I just have to now.
I have tried many different ROM's and kernels and found there always seems to be the "right" combination sooner or later. Right now I am on AOKP w/Franco M6 and getting about 14 hours with 24% battery left, 2.5 hours screen time, mostly LTE and moderate phone use, best I have seen of any combo for me on this ROM. For CNA the right kernel for me was lean kernel. A little experimentation and patience and you will find that sweet spot soon enough.
Edit: the whining drew me to it, sucked me in so I couldn't stop myself from answering

If someone can get 4+ hours screen with mostly 3G, let me know. haha.

Wrong section
However as for battery life slim ROMs work great but I'm on jbsourcery built in trinity and I've definitely had worse d: the only ROM I've used that's had has battery is pa however they've had multiple updates since then so I'm sure its not horrible now

2 things here:
1) OP, wrong section. Questions belong in their own section, the Q&A section. Development is reserved for Roms, kernels, tweaks, etc.

Get Most Battery Life Out Of Your GS2

I have lately been running tests of different ROMs and trying to get the best battery life possible! I have tested out these ROMs:
Jedi Mind Trick X1
CM10 Stable Release 4.1.2
AOKP Jellybean 4.1.2
Slim Bean Unofficial 4.1.2
When i flashed these ROMs i did a battery calibration (off app from play store NOT CWM). And ran them on FULL Brightness, GPS ON, BLUETOOTH ON, and running on Wi-Fi! I opened up netflix and watched multiple movies (same movies for each ROM)...until the phone went completely dead. Here are the results i got:
Jedi Mind Trick X1: 4 1/2 Hours
CM10 Stable Release: 3 3/4 Hours
AOKP Jellybean: 4 Hours
Slim Bean Unofficial: 5 3/4 Hours
As most people know the Screen does use over half of the battery. So on this test the screen was on NON-STOP for the amount of time you see above. And 99% of people will not have their screens on for that long at one time. So this is the WORSE-CASE scenario for battery life. I was impressed mainly with Slim Bean and Jedi Mind Trick did good as well.
You may get different results than I did. If you are using a ROM that i did not test or you tested one of these ROMs above and got different results please post below your results.
I hope this helped guys

Thanks for this.... maybe i need to try out slimrom again

I used an unofficial version of it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964944&highlight=slim+bean
I did do a battery calibration! I suggest doing that and you should have GREAT battery life.

Ok guys. I have officially moved over to the Galaxy Note 2. I no longer have the Galaxy S2 so i cannot add anymore support for it since it is against the rules. I appreciate all the help from this device thread and now you guys can see me at the GN2 forums. Goodbye Galaxy S2 Users

Personally I have the best battery performance, regardless of the ROM, by setting up CPU profiles. Basically you can set one profile to limit the to 432 (or whatever you want) while the screen is off and 1500+ while screen is on. I use ROM Toolbox Pro for this and get really good results. If your interested just do some searching on ROM Toolbox Pro and CPU profiles. Just thought I would share

AOKP B5 3/10nightly NOS V0.0.7

people say that doing battery wipes are useless? From my experiences, i have gotten terrible battery life with those roms. It must have been due to the fact that the battery was not properly calibrated.

Not sure if guys care about 4g speeds sbut this is what i got using edge only... Just used my phone for what it is. A source of communication. I also noticed better and more consistent call quality. Running an older build of cm10 back from October. Im sure I could get even more battery if i upgrade to stable
There's about three hours screen on time

What is the most stable Custom ROM you have installed on your GS3?

My sister is annoyed with the battery life of her GS3 despite how good it as been next to her old iPhone and she wants to squeeze more juice out of it. She's not as tech-savvy as most people on this forum so I'm looking for something that is as stable as it gets.
Thanks in advance.

I've found that the stock Touchwiz rom often gives me the best battery life

AGREE!
I have 3 GalaxyS3 in my family. 2 of them Rooted & with different ROMS... The stock gives me the BEST battery life and stability. :cyclops:

Best for me has been BlackJelly. Better than stock.

CM10 Stable.

AOKP is great and I'd say most stable... mix that with LeanKernel OC'd and UV'd Getting solid 4 hours of screen time no problem.

I've been on AOKP with the underwear kernel with phenomenal results. I very very rarely have any stability issues. Battery life is wonderful as well. Messing with governor and i/o settings can help increase battery life.
Much like others have said though, TouchWiz often leads to the best results in terms of stability and battery.

Agreed. The only issues I had with the AOKP ROM was black screen sleep death or whatever and also the screen hated to come back on when I would try to hang up a call.

I've had both of these problems as well. So small that they hardly go noticed. I've minimized the black wake screen with the voltage control settings below.
Task650 AOKP 4.1.2 JB. 11/18 Build
Underwear kernel (Intellidemand/Deadline)

I wanted to solve the same problem for my wife. I installed wanam Rom. It still looks and feels the same but it more than doubled her battery life over stock Rom. She hasn't complained since.
Ps. I wouldn't recommend putting her on cm10, AOKP, or any Aosp Rom for two reasons, she will most likely miss touchwiz features she is used to, and she will probably run into more problems with some stuff not working.

Task's AOKP ROM is the ****

Really liking Liquid Smooth. Great battery life very customizable. Second choice would be Serenity.

Task's AOKP ROM for me. Though I did have battery life problem as my phone was awake all the time. I wiped it clean and had only a few widgets, and add juicedefender app and my battery life was much much better. Maybe it's not the ROM but what your sister has on her phone?

I've got a SGS 3 now and let my wife have the SGS 2. The first day I had it I got 4 hrs and 7 minutes of screen on time on the stock ROM. That was texting, checking email and surfing the web. I don't have a lot of apps installed such as facebook etc... and I don't keep it synced to google servers. I rooted it but am sticking with stock for now. Seems to be doing well.
