i have been running flipz newer rom with the new unreleased kernal and my battery life is AMAZING, I mean very very good. I was thinking about giving CM6 a try again with flashing the new v7.6 kernal thats supposed to be really good.
But I was wondering what people are getting with cm6 and the kernals as far as batt life.
Ive never personally flashed a kernal before so not sure on how well or how much they affect the phone or if its worth it.
any help? like as far as the best kernal for a CM6 rom and and reports on batt life comapred to the new leaked kernal
I'm getting better battery life on stock now, then I was on any other modded kernel (kings, cm6, and some others.)
Nand backup and give it a shot. It seems way to better to me than stock or even cm6 nightly with newest kernel.
also whats the difference between bfs and cfs roms?
i feel batt life with CM6nightly + snap7.6 in turbo mode is about how the phone was when it was first released...you can make it a day with light use, but using it a ton, i seem to get around 8-10 hours.
However...getting 2600+ in Quadrant and no lag, anywhere, ever...makes up for it. I'm always within reach of a USB port or wall outlet so i just carry the charger/cord around with me.
I haven't actually ran it from full to dead outside of work. However at work i constantly drop signal and regain it repeatedly for the 8~ hours i'm here.
Is anyone else experiencing major battery drain on the latest leak of ICS? If so, what have you done to improve battery life? All I know is battery life was great on GB, and this is with heavy use, but now its really bad. I need to have my charger with me at work because it dies in about 5 hours.
Also, I noticed Facebook will not allow me to post status updates in native app, but if I have a widget, I can post from the widget with no problems. Is there a fix for this, or do I just have to wait for Facebook to be ICS compatible?
Thanks in advance.

Are you running a stock FD02 with stock kernel? Battery life seems the same as FC24 and better than FC22. It is a bit worse than GB but its not really done yet so I cant complain.
A long time ago I found facebook app to be a huge battery killer. This was on another phone and 2.2 so maybe its improved since then but I doubt it. Quite frankly if you can live without facebook all together your quality of life will improve.
does the rouge fc22 kernel gives a better battery life? im tempted to flash it and see how it works? anybody has tried it. Im on calks 1.4 rom

Modems are phone-dependent. Someone may have great speed on FC22 but someone else may not even have 3g on the same modem. You have to test yourself. I get best battery on EL29, but with my last E4GT I got better on EL26.
I have tried a few ics roms and battery life was worse than gb on most and i think that is expected. Ive been rumming venum's AnaKonda rom and i am currently at 37% after 16 hours of medium use.
Edit: fc24 modem and dazednconfused theme.
So obviously Jelly Bean so far has been a battery hog, I'm coming from AOKP. So what's the best kernel for battery life? Or what's the best ROM / Kernel combination? The opinions I'm looking for are from people with real world experiences, and that have tested all of the kernels available.
Thanks
leave everything stock for best battery life
IMO people think the battery life sucks because they're always on their phone. Atleast that's how I am, but however I'm on Vicious 4.1.1 V1 and I'm getting incredible battery life with the kernel that comes w/ it.
Another one of these threads.....
I've tried CM9 and CM10 roms, but the idle for all of them is much worse than stock Kindle rom. I'm using Modaco custom Kindle rom, which is just as good (if not better) battery than pure stock, but I'm wondering if there's a non-Kindle looking rom (ICS or JB) that doesn't have poor battery life.
Thanks!
Nope... use cm7 it has excellent battery life ics and jelly bean will probably always suck like pigs when it comes to battery life..

That's a shame. Do you know why? Kernel issue I'm guessing?
My Galaxy Nexus is getting great battery with a custom kernel (Franco's), so it seems like other devices should be able to get good life with the right kernel. I wonder what's causing so much idle battery drain on the ICS/JB kernels.
Thanks for the info though! I might stick with Modaco since it opens up the market yet retains the good battery life.
Hi everyone,
I'm new to modding and recently just started flashing ROMs on my GNex having it for close to 2 years.
I've read and heard that franco Kernel improves battery life and performance.
I tried CyanogenMod because it seems like a popular and stable rom.
However, when I flashed them onto my GNex, I noticed that my battery drains quicker. I'm not sure if I'm more sensitive to it because now I can see a number indicator for my battery. But I had instances where even when I'm plugged in and just using the phone (I think just surfing the net), I would lose charge.
Is that because CyanogenMod does not work well with franco Kernel?
