Hello,
My main criterion in deciding which of the many custom ROMs to go with is amount of battery life improvement I will have.
I see that the AHRD rom is the most popular, but does it also have the best battery life?
Or will the battery life improvements only occur when the source code is released and the One X runs on an ICS Kernel? I am under the impression that for some strange reason, the One X is running on a gingerbread kernel.
Thanks
This should properbly be in the Q&A section.
But anyway if you want great batterylife you should try Cyanogenmod. Those are the most basic ICS roms. Without any Sense gimmicks to suck the power.
That coupled with the Franco kernel should give you good battery life.
At the moment I'm using insertcoin with bricked kernel. And i have about 30% left at the end of the day. And I'm a fairly heavy user. So I find that to be acceptable.
And sorry if my spelling or grammer sucks, I'm from Denmark, so English is not my first language

Virtually everything that is asked on this board is a question. In fact, the majority of people who visit this board come to get a question answered. So the distinction is odd to me. People ask questions within threads that have declarative sentence titles all the time.
So if I had said "AHRD ROM gives insane battery life" then I guess it belongs in the general forum. Then if someone replies that Chameleon does even better as post #2, and I reply, why is it so much better as post #3. Then I have asked a question. My point is that in every thread there are questions, whether it's post #1 or post #3 seems like an arbitrary distinction. The fact that the Q&A section is not growing very quickly suggests confusion, since I still believe that if you analyzed the content of each post, and dare I say the overarching purpose of the board, is to ask questions. Newbies also see that he Q&A section isn't nearly as well frequented, so they post in the general section.
I think that the Q&A forum and the FAQ overlap in purpose. Anyway, just my 2 cents.
Thank you though for the answers to my question. I had expected, given the Anandtech review, that the One X would have comparable battery life to the iphone 4. However, I am finding this to be anything but the case, and I recently installed AHRD (wiped battery stats, etc). When trying to run down the battery (max brightness at 550 nits and surfing over 3g), I'm dead in 2 hours. My 2 yr-old iphone 4,with a peak brightness of about 500 nits, lasts approximately twice as long under identical conditions. I am finding the One X no better than the HTC Amaze, which has notoriously poor battery life. On the positive side, the One X's battery life is not as bad as the original EVO 4G, and the One X's standby battery drain is extremely low. I shudder to think what the battery life would be like if I had a US version which has LTE.
I have not noticed any improvements with any custom ROM thus far, but it's possible that using the screen at 75% brightness is basically such a determining factor that any gains in battery life are imperceptible to me. If someone can confirm that it is possible to drain the battery if you surfed at max brightness for 3 hours continuously and that that's just the state of phones today, then I can accept that. I just want to make sure that my phone is behaving normally and that any battery tweaks, cpu undervolting, wont' make a huge difference.

None of the custom ROMs change anything to do with battery consumption. A custom kernel could help, however I have tried them all and none of them make any appreciable difference.
Browsing over 3G seems to kill battery fast, I have never been able to get more than 3 hours screen time, and most of the time it is 2 or 2 and a half hours.
Hi thanks alot for the reply. I was thought that custom ROMs were supposed to improve battery life (one of the major reasons, if not the major reason, to install a custom ROM). In fact, in most of the intros for ROMs, they say something like "excellent battery life".
But you're saying that it is at the kernel level where improvements in battery life are made?
I agree with your conclusions--each custom ROM is about the same regarding battery life, and it is possible to surf and kill the phone in 3 hours of screen time, if I want my max brightness glory and over 3g.

Thank you Richard. So there will be different battery life between the 2 ROM's. People need to stop saying that DeFroST is a total rip from OpenDesire.

I agree.
There WAS a time when OD and DF is almost similar inside out but as of lately both ROMs are very much different.
But on the question of which had better battery life my vote goes to DF. OD seems to be unstable lately and has turned out to be more experimental then stable (e.g implementation of multitouch droid keyboard, switching to HTC keyboard and now infusing elements from Galaxy S). I had more better power drain on DF and CM6.
Cor, this all seems familiar.
Anyway, instead of polls which to be frank are worthless in this regard, has anyone actually done any measured testing between battery lives of different versions of different ROMs? That might actually be useful and interesting.

how can an app which only runs when you open it explicitly drain the battery in 2 hours (unless you sit there with the camera on for 2 hours)

I was once with OpenDesire a few days ago and don't consider going back because one night i had 59% battery charge and woke up the next morning finding that it's dead.
Going back to DefroST and running my same old apps that i previously had on OD works just fine. With my phone with plenty of charge the next morning
i think this thread would be more useful if people would give their specific experiences with the roms they use the most, as i'm sure there are quite a number of people that haven't tried one or the other long enough to give substantial feedback. i think people should include:
which version of the rom(s) they tested/used
what kind of battery life they experienced and with what type of usage (i know it's subjective and everyone gets different results, but it's better than just voting for the rom you used and saying it's the best)
length of time that was allowed to test (there have been occasions where rebooting or going through a complete charging cycle have yielded better battery life. so it should be noted if people only allowed the rom they tested to be on their phone for maybe 20% or whatever, or a couple of hours)
and any other information people think might help/be useful to others
also what radio people are running would be very useful as well
This is a development forum.
I think that this type of thread are useless, since battery life is too "personal" to sort with a silly poll.
Battery life is meant to be professionally tested with some program, with the same device. One can have faulty battery, another one can have a non calibrated battery, another one a new battery.
My two cents.

I tried DeFrost just for a while to see Quadrant score. So I can't say something certain about it's battery life. But OpenDesire I'm using rigt now has great battery life. I mentioned that today in OD thread also. With normal use(Web, lots of messaging, GPS etc. 768 mhz cpu speed (it does 1300 Quadrant score with that speed) and 2G mobile network) I've used it for 70 hours. Really impressive I think.

For what reason?
soooo many different aspects to battery life that just asking randomly to 'vote' is indeed not helping too much.
I won't say it as blunt as 'please close this thread' but really helpful it's not.
For example, what if - eehhhhm, let's pick Defrost - DeFrost comes out as 75% voting to have better battery life. A new user comes in, sees DeFrost as better, and picks that one. His battery drains within an hour, and he is thinking "WTF?!? insert random roob rage stuff here WTF!?!?!"
This happens all the time. Battery usage users are _so_ different based on usage, network provider, location and apps used / installed that the ROM really doesn't have much influence.
Only if there is a real 'bug' it's noticeable, and the dev's are quickly on it then.
I dont use my phone a lot and my TWAS is usually 0%. I dont use my phone alot, but usually when 5-6 hrs of no use or very light use it has gone down around 20-30%. Anyone have any ideas of what rom would work best for me? I am on ICS 5.0 right now and it seems they are not coming back with their 5.5 they had out. I really only care about great battery life and having some type of hotspot hack or free tethering.
Thanks.
You have to try each one and see what works best for you. Read the ROM threads. Every phone and user is different.

I have been using the latest sleeper rom and i have left it at 1000mhz no overclocking and i seem to be getting better battery life than i was with some of the others. i flash frequently and i would agree with kennyglass in that each one works differently. so try for youself.
Well, like everyone else said, its depends on what your phones handles. Everyone phones handles a rom differently, well, not that differently, but enough to make big differences.
Like the guy above me, I also use SleeperRom. Its a very stable, battery efficient rom.
here is a list of roms I would try out...
ACS_ICS_V5.5
LegendaryRom
MarcusantROM
StarskyROM1.5
I also recommend CleanGB by toadlife. Fast, clean, stable, full day on original stock battery.

I personally would towards 'which kernel should I use?' You've got to remember that although we all have epics, not every CPU is the same. What I am running it he or she is running may not be what you should be running. If you ever check out an oc/uv thread, you will see that people get different results using different settings, even though we're all on epics. You've got to try a couple different setups (roms AND kernels) to see which runs best for your device. Good luck!
via my EPICally transmogrified EI22: adrenaline injected & Supercharged
I currently use CleanGB which has been pretty great. If you're in an area with iffy service, that'll kill your phones battery pretty quick.
After installing a new rom make sure you charge it to 100%, wipe battery stats and then let it die without charging to get the most out of your battery (and having an accurate battery indicator)
In my opinion the way you configure your phone has by far the biggest effect on battery life, followed closely by the signal strength of the area you are in, with maybe a very small effect caused by the rom/kernel combination. Watch what you have syncing. Facebook and Twitter syncs can kill your battery, as can any other app that's always using data. Also, wifi uses WAY less battery than 3G or 4G. Use it when you can.
I'm on stock EI22 with mkasick's kernel and I usually get a full 16 hours with power to spare.

Basically Poit. Since no 2 people use their phone the same way it is retarded to ask for a comparison of best battery life. People need to stop being lazy and just try the ROMs out and compare for themselves based on their own use.

I agree. I have seen 3 questions over the last 2 days with these dumb questions.
but if I was to give my advice, I would strongly advise trying MarcusantROM, Battery life is pretty amazing, just be sure to flash a different kernel, as 2.0.6 is not even offered for download anymore because of bugs n such.
I would strongly advise the Shadow Kernel, paired up with MarcusantRom. You should see some pretty amazing battery life with that combo.
or try these out...
LegendaryROM
SleeperROM
Come on... "Dumb question"? "Lazy"? Get off your high horse. Certain ROMs give better battery performance than others because of certain tweaks and the OP asked for some general advice. Certain ROMs are certainly worse than others. OP wasn't asking for what would be best for him but what has worked good for others. Why is it so wrong for someone to ask for general advice about a ROM/Kernel combo. Not that hard of a question and not so ambiguous that it deserves a "dumb question" or "stop being lazy" response. If you don't want to help the OP, then simply DON'T RESPOND.
As for the question... I generally use the kernel that is included with the ROMs because normally that is what the developer has tested the most. I think Thunderhawk, Sleeper, and Legendary (in that order) are all good for battery but I haven't used all of the others.

In kind if you don't like the responses don't respond to them. I read for a month all the ROM threads before deciding on one to flash. Go to ANY ROM thread and someone there will claim they got the best battrery life there. It is different for every body and EVERY phone. ALL of the ROMs here have tweaks that work differently for everyone depending on use. Also people are sick of every other thread as "what's the best ROM". You HAVE to try them for yourself. If we are being to real for you then don't read what is written.
I was once where you are now. When I couldn't find a satisfactory answer, I made my own solution. I'll be uploading the latest version of it, version 3.3 today or tomorrow.
Battery Used: Extended Battery 2700 mah
Testing Performed: Idle Only
For those unsure, idle testing is simply when you treat your smartphone more like a phone. This included uses such as, checking the weather, responding to the occasional text, checking the time, etc. The primary goal of idle testing is to understand how long the phone can stay alive when used for texting and phone calls only. This is useful primarily for occasions such as, going on vacation, where you would like your phone to last a week or more in case of emergencies, but you'll be preoccupied and not killing your battery with Angry Birds. It's nice to know that our phone is capable older, simpler cellphones in standby time.
This indicates that my phone could stay on for as long as 10 to 14 days.
Direct arithmetic calculations indicate as much as 5.5 to 8 days on the stock 1500 mah battery.
Obviously, usage varies greatly between people and even between days, so anything other than idle testing is subjective. Testing was not performed on a stock installation, but rather, on my own daily personal fully-decked setup.
On the stock battery, I've played games for a total of more than 3 hours over a 48 hour time period before needing to recharge.
This has held true on my phone, my wife's, her mother's, and more than a thousand other user's phones. Yours may vary. Try them all. I do.

So just got my Galaxy Nexus on Verizon and already unlocked running stock 4.0.4 rooted. I got the extended battery (2100) and I am still kind of disappointed in battery life. I mean, even on 3G all day yesterday it lasted maybe 9 hrs. I have turned off a lot of background apps but still hasn't helped much.
Any suggestions on good rom's/kernels for the best battery life without having to sacrifice too much on the performance side?
Figure it out man.
Everyone (literally) is going to say something different here.
I'll vote Immoseon's 2.3.0 stable with stock clocks but dropped the vsels down by 100 personally.
Next guy will vote franco's.
Next guy will say popcorn.
^This man speaks the truth.
The problem with statements like "X kernal is best for all situations" is that it CANNOT be true. Kernal's will give you varying battery life depending on what you use them for. Since only you know what you do with your phone, you'll have to do some trial and error to figure out which one works best for you.
I, for example, browse fb, read some ebooks, and browse the internet randomly, I've found Franco's Kernal works best for me.
Perhaps a heavy gamer may be that to be untrue. Perhaps someone who takes lots of video/photos do not agree. But for my purposes, I am satisfied.

Lol yeah, another one of the "best kernel for blah blah" collection...
Adding my agreement to try them out and see. I like imoysen, but that is based on my usage.
One thing I will recommend is fully charge your phone before installing a new kernel, then wipe your dalvick and battery stats after installing. Then let it drain till it dies and fully recharge it in one go. Then evaluate your battery performance. It will give you a more accurate view of how it will perform. giving your phone a few days to settle into a kernel always helps, imo.

Hi. Can you give us some definite figures and how much better battery life you're getting (percentage or hours). I'm a new gnex owner and although I will definitely root my gnex eventually, I'm currently reading through all the threads regarding battery life.
I'm a moderate user myself - using it mostly as an e-reader with the occassional gaming, browsing, call and text. Right now I'm getting the following performance:
15% remaining at 13 hrs
4 to 4.5 hours display time
Like most users, my main concern when I root will be battery life.
Wiping battery stats does not improve battery life.

Terrible battery life
I'm not completely sure why but for me it has been terrible. Drains to less than 40% in 5-6 hours. I at first thought it was the overclocking I did, then I set the max CPU speed to 1024 MB and it's still terrible battery life. I have wi-fi and data off most of the time and the phone not being used and it still drains this bad. Can someone help me? I've tried a few different governors under the CM9 settings now, which is best? I notice that wi-fi and the screen are using the most power. Why does wi-fi remain on/drain power even when the screen is off? Sense managed to save my battery and make it last for like 2 days (as mentioned in the OP) by turning off wi-fi and data when the phone was asleep/locked. Also, I used auto-brightness on Sense and got the 2 day battery life. Auto-brightness on CM9 seems to be KILLING my battery.
Someone help me get max battery life out of CM9 for my HTC One V (CDMA) please!

I did end up flashing last night, but not based on the in-depth experience your 1-line reply to this thread described. I actually had any questions I had answered on the IRC channel by a few devs which was highly appreciated.
I don't think there is anything wrong with people waiting for even more stable versions and commenting on that as such. Maybe instead of trying to provoke me through insults you could have tried to convince me. Otherwise your criticism is useless without any sort of construct so please keep it to yourself.

Exactly what app did I say was sucking my battery? Oh right, I didn't. I asked for help on how to get max battery life with CM9 (like how I should tune the settings) and of course I get someone who thinks they know everything coming in here just to talk **** on someone else. Why did you even bother to post dude? You just wanna call people out and put them down. Does that make you feel better? Insulting people via text on an internet forum? Real cool man... Who's the real mr. perfect here?
That being said...
The ONE AND ONLY issue I have with CM9 is that it seems to be draining battery way too quickly. The first 2 posts claim to get the same battery life as with stock rom (about 2 days). Can someone (someone who actually wants to help here, not someone who just wants to laugh at people who don't have EVERYTHING figured out and perfect like they do) please tell me how they have set up CM9 to get 2 days battery life. I really really like CM9 and the only thing keeping me from using it is this battery drain.

Well, I use JuiceDefender to switch off wifi and 3G when the screen is off. Also, I don't use autobrightness, opting instead to set screen brightness to 20-30% (which is still pretty bright IMO). Been getting 1 and a half days out of the battery with low-mid usage (texting/calling/checking Facebook & Twitter)
However, I've only been using CM9 for about 5 days, so you might want to take my advice with a pinch of salt. Hope this helps anyway.
Just curious

I run AOSP Rom, SuperNexus, and my battery life is fine. It all depends on how you use your phone, what apps you have, signal strength.
No two phones are alike.
Imo, TW has better battery life. Less bugs, official support =better battery life.

Battery life depends on the user in the end, I've gotten over 24 hours on both. Greenify and DS Battery Saver will help a lot.
I've always had better battery life on TW than I have AOSP.
I run only aosp roms and get 15 to 18hrs especially after lightening zap kernel I have ds battery saver set to aggressive and Greenify (thanks bilgerryan, hadn't heard of it till I saw you post about it a few weeks back), last few days I have had over 3.5hrs screen on, granted I run my screen as dim as it will go. On stock battery

Overall, tw roms have been better for me in regards to battery life. That being said, given the time to let things settle and tweak they both can be great. If you want some suggestions a to what has been the best for me, drop me a pm and I'll name names. I don't want to turn this thread into a fanboy fiasco.

I have to say there is no correct answer. I never got more than 22 hours on a stock rom. One of the AOSP ROMs I flashed netted me 30+ hours. The next flash topped at 9 hours.
I think the battery life on stock ROMs is more consistent. With AOSP you get whatever you get.
Some AOSP roms are really good about battery life. I seriously have two that I like and one gets me about 8-9 hours while the other 14-16 for the same usage. It really, really depends on a lot of factors and I can say for sure, the rom is one of them.
