Can anyone tell me which ROM (STABLE) provides the best battery life on HTC EVO???
Thanks!
I have been through just about all on this site and Fresh's newest seems to work best for me. With moderate daily usage I can go without charging for about 22-24 hours. Of course all I need to go is 12-14 b/c I charge every night anyway, but I did leave off charger one day just to see how far I could go. I'm giving Calk's latest a try right now to see how it goes. Just be sure to give whatever ROM you try a couple charges before making a final decision, as it usually takes this amount to get an accurate read on true battery life.
how many of these post are we going to need lol

I know that the latest kernels off the latest build have been killing my battery, it's horrible for my EVO.
But you really have to try different rom/kernel/PRI/radio combinations to find the best battery life for your Evo. I wish there was a preset rating system for each rom though, just to see how things work for everyone else(i.e. battery life, quadrant scores, force close problems, etc.)...but there really are a lot of variables, so I don't think that may ever happen.
Yeah I agree there isn't a clear cut winner. Everyone uses their phone different so it will differ for everyone.
Totally agree to give it a few full charges... I suggest when you get a new rom and/or kernel installed to reset the battery stats (can be done in recovery) then use it till it dies then charge to full before turning it back on.
Personally, I've been using Fresh 3.3 w/ the Kings #6 kernel and not only has the phone been screamin' fast the battery has been good. I'm only on my 2nd charge up though so I still have one or two to go before everything smooths out.

As posted here, the tests showed that CM w/ Snap 7.5 probably has the best battery life - and it seems by a lot.

I'm using the latest Fresh and I just plugged my phone in at 15% battery after 37 hours. I'm pretty happy with that.
Fresh Rom always gave me good battery.. I'm just using the rooted stock OTA and am getting great battery life.

I think it would be a great idea for this kind of stuff to happen. Some aggregated source where everyone can submit their information using various roms, kernels, etc. Whether it be information regarding Quadrant scores, linpacks or battery life. On computer hardware forums they generally have a section dedicated to OCing records with charts listing someones entire setup while attaining the clock speeds. I don't see why a similar implementation can not be done here.

i use Fresh's Rom made my battery life live avg abt 15 hours
Over 40 kernels were tested and benchmarked in 7 different ways, and the results are posted here.
Should tell you everything you want to know, without bringing roms into the picture (since battery life is most affected by the kernel used, not the rom)
edit - looks like I'm a bit late withthat link - I see the thread for that site was already posted above. It's a great resource.
Fresh 3.2, hands down best battery life for me. 3.3 was pretty bad, as was myn's release....which sucks, because myn's rom is otherwise awesome.
I am using Fresh 3.3.0.1 with a baked kernel that is able to over clock. I then have SetCPU installed with profiles for different states of the phone. If my screen is off I have the cpu set to a max of 500MHz to save battery if there are any processes running in the background. I then have my cpu set to 1119MHz when the phone is plugged in or at 100% with the screen on just because I like a snappy phone. Then when the battery drops below 50% I have it return to stock speeds.
I use my phone heavily for things like subsonic, QIK, FB, Calendar, wireless tether, and of course since unlimited data, calling to any cell, and texting I am on it a lot keeping in touch with friends. I also use the sprint nav at least twice a week.
Results will vary from user to user but so far the phone has been on 7 hours and after some moderate use it's only down to around 75% on the battery.
Again this is how I MYSELF use my phone with this rom and kernel this may not be how you use your phone and you may see different results.
What I have done is searched roms and installed them in total I have used 4 different roms. Baked, Cyanogen, Fresh, and Virus. After installing each rom and setting up my phone I made a nand backup of each so I can flash between them as needed to test. I have found out of all of these roms Fresh 3.3.0.1 with a kernel from the baked roms has worked the best for MY daily use.
I'm in a dilemma! For the last week I've been hunting around to find the right combination of Kernels and Roms. Natively I'm a CM ASOP man. But I've tried everything from CM to MIUI to Ava to Mym. None of the roms are giving a decent amount of battery life. I've tried several combinations of Kernels also. My battery life has been as terrible as 3 hours. I'm talking about losing a percent every minute!
I didn't buy an extended battery. But I have tried a brand new regular battery to make sure that I didn't have a bad battery. Both batteries have the same results under all combinations of Kernels and Roms.
I've seen members braggin on having 12 to 18th hours of life under heavy use! How is that possible!? Lol! I know it has to do with device, kernel, rom combinations.
Can the awsome members of the GREAT Xda please help me out? Point me in the right direction. fyi: I have a ver 003 device and also I don't overclock much at all but I underclock to try and save a lil juice!
Thanks in advanced!

No matter what rom/kernel combination I run I get really ****ty battery life with the stock red HTC battery. For me personally investing the $70 or so for the Seidio extended battery on Amazon was worthwhile. I also purchased their wall charger as well.
I'm not going to blow smoke up your ass and say that the battery last 2 days with heavy use because thats BS. However, with heavy use (running emulators, gmail sync, occasional bluetooth for wii mote, texting, web browsing, etc) I can get through a 9 hour work day with a lil life to spare.
At least go on amazon and get a1800 mah battery. They are cheap but goood.

I just bought another stock battery and a wall charger, I keep the spare in my wallet and battery life is a non issue now.
Check out batteryboss.org before buying an aftermarket one though, most of them are rips offs.
I'm not sure about rip offs on amazon but certainly ebay..i bought two batteries w/a charger for $25..and a third one since my oem battery took a bath, fully charged.

I'm going to research some better batteries. I appreciate the intel. But my thing is I know I can get a few more hours of battery time with a simple kernel modification. Loosing 1% a minute is unheard of lol. Like now: I had 100% when I started this reply and I'm officially at 95% as I press Submit lol! Terrible

You should see if you can get a replacement battery from sprint. I am using CM7 nightly 24, and can easily sustain 24+ hours with the OEM red battery.
Everyone will have different results even with the same rom/kernel, however the drain that your experiencing does sound like your battery might be going bad.

I see your stats and that sh*t is wicked! I used CM7 and that one drains the quickest lol.... before I cash out on a new extended battery where's an abundant source of Kernels? I've tried three and I wanted to do a little process of elimination before I pull out my visa lol

There aren't very many CM7 kernel's available yet, so few that I can't even begin to tell you where to start looking, for Sense roms though, search for Netarchy those kernels work really well.
I see... I appreciate that! Imma give Mym a try with a few of them Kernels. Thanks again for the help
And what exactly is the Kernel that you are using!? Lol
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Honestly, I've found that the right kernel makes the biggest difference and setcpu, juicedefender, etc only make it worse. For me (also 003 hw) kings kernel and htc # 15 uv have been best. I've had great success with azrael and vaelpak roms. Currently on vaelpak with kings # 11 with NO battery saving apps. I get 24 hours with my regular use. Yesterday was very light, I went 24 hours with just under 50% left.

This is what I've been testing for a while. This build contains auto bump charging based on the voltage as opposed to the full charge method. I don't know how it works on extended batteries yet...but works pretty good on stock batteries. With this, you should have a better chance of picking up the phone at higher voltages.

I flashed the ver 8 with CM6. 1.2. so far I've gotten slightly better battery life. 20 minutes and I'm still on 99%. That's a whole lot better than losing 1% a minute lol! I'm still going to do another exhaustive research to pinpoint the best combination!

I know you guys said that setcpu can make matters worse. Is it alright if I use it to underclock to 245x245 when the screen is off and if the battery ever goes over 110°F automatically? That's the only profiles i use to help with battery maintenance

If your still using CM7, it has its own built in setCPU, I have mine set to ondemand 245min, 768max, and sorry for the delayed response, I went to lunch, however the Kernel I am using for my CM7 flash is just the stock kernel that comes with the initial build if CM7.

They both claim to have great battery life and smooth operations. I am currently running Calk's 2.0. I get over 10hrs for my phone, depending on the usage. And the standby time is amazing. Now I am interested in Blazer 2.0 but I would like to get other peoples comments and opinions before I try it for myself. So, Blazer Rom[12/11/11][v2.0] VS Calkulin's E4GT v2.0.1a!!!! BEGIN!!! "ding ding".
Please and thanks to all.
Im running on phantomhacker's blazor rom and i get about 1% stand by time. With moderate usage (texting, light internet browsing, like 2 5 min phone calls) i got 1 day and 5 hrs. I could have gotten more but i couldnt afford my battery dieing so i had to charge it at 15%. With heavy usage of streaming music via pandora over wifi non stop, texting, and lots of xda i get about 14 hours with 3 hrs of screen on time. I havent taken screen shots but ill take some today at the end of the day.
Edit: mean 1% every 6 hours on standby

.....
I've tried an older version of Calkulin's rom. Didn't like all the rows and stuff with the apps. It was too cluttered for me but much respect to Calkulin. I can't give anything but love and respect to developers. For me the Blazer Rom is faster and better battery life. The best battery life so far of any rom I've tried.
Lately I've been testing out this technique on calibrating the battery and it works well for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312273
I tried 2.01. I like everything about the ROM, but it didn't work well on my phone. I experienced worse battery life than stock. With the phone stock, I was having no problems getting through a day on one charge. I think in the time I've had my phone (2 weeks after release) I had to charge it during the day maybe 2 times. Once I put Calkulin's ROM on, I never made it through a whole day, or even close. I suspect the performance tweaks may push the phone to greater battery usage. I was looking for better battery life, not worse.
I had lots of problems with hot boots. If I made a call, I'd get a hot boot after about a minute. If ambient temperature was really cold, I could maybe get 2 or 3 minutes. I got hot boots using various apps, and in some I got none. The phone became unuseable for me. I flashed back to stock.
I suspect that my cpu is not very tolerant of higher temps. YMMV.
I did like the ROM though. I like the 5 buttons on the launcher, the 25 apps in the trays rather than 16, and no CIQ.
I'll try to make this as simple as possible.
On VeNuM's GB ROM, I was getting at least a day on my battery, it was fantastic. Modem was EL29 (I believe, possibly 26 though). I could use the phone a lot and it still got good battery life. With the verizon PRL, forcing roaming 24/7, I could almost get two days on it since there was less time it was "Searching for service"
Now on ICS (have done stock, calk, venum), I have been getting dreadful battery life. Take it off the charger at 9 and by 3, after using the phone during my hour commute, it's dead. The place that I work has pretty bad service for sprint, barely hovers at 1 bar if I even have service at all. One thing I have also noticed is that even on stock (and stock PRL), my phone does not seem to roam, at all.
Here was day one on FE22 stock: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mwjr5j3nd5vgody/2012-06-06 15.36.08.png
Day one calk FE22: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0lroppsxl1bzbup/2012-06-07 18.14.04.png
Battery 2nd: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pttz5fla4us8evk/2012-06-07 18.14.08.png
You'll notice that there are a few bumps at the end. I did have it charging on the comp for a little bit before I left work, those are the two spikes. HOWEVER, it also rose on its own. It went down to 5% and then went UP to 6%, staying there for a bit and then going down.
There seems to be something funky going on, but I just dont know what. I'm currently testing what the difference is with the verizon PRL, I have that on there now.
Are there some battery logs I can post to perhaps decode this puzzle?
-----------------------------
Second question. How do I go about downgrading from ICS to GB?
Thanks a lot.
You should try calibrating your battery and wiping the battery stats at 100%. That would speed up the settling in.
I suggest using sfhubs Odin one click package to revert back to GB.

Something is keeping your phone awake. Download badass battery monitor and check whats using up your battery.!
I'll do that right now. I just took it off the charger an hour ago and it's down to 85, just sitting in my pocket. I'll let it charge back up to 100 and then clear battery stats. I'll use it today and if it's still bad, revert to GB.
You look at the pics? They're depressing.
i definitely think you have apps causing wakelocks. try disabling dropbox, facebook and other random programs that sync, same goes for other stuff u may have polling for updates. with exchange syncing every 15 minutes i think i get better battery life vs push. Kobridge tweaks helped a ton.
white signal bars- cm9, the other is stock fe22 w/kobridge
id defintely search the forums for better battery stats (the dev made it available for free to xda users) or badass battery monitor in the market (also free)
I'm on Kobridge aggressive! I tried moderate as well.
Can anyone else confirm the first reply as to how to downgrade to GB? A direct link would be nice as well.

Battery life is not as good on ics and I too had the same the same problem. System monitor wouldn't pick up any program eating up CPU. Took me for a few day to realize I had a bad install. I had to Odin back to el26 and re install. That seemed to fix my problems. Which is my understanding is the procedure one is supposed to take when flashing from ics. So regardless your flashing back GB everytime you flash roms. but might want to give ics another shot when you flash correctly.

Must say it took me several weeks to find the right combination of parts to get my battery right.
I found that several of the newer modems were overheating my phone and draining my battery in a couple hours. Right now I'm running wicked ff02 rom, agats ff02 kernel and fe21 modem. Battery never get above 90 degrees; and yesterday I got an 8 hour day of work with heavy use (no mid day charge).
Edit: I tried venums boa rom, with very good results too. He included badass battery monitor, which seems to be one of the best of the bunch.

I did downgrade back to GB, running Blazer's EL29 rom with verizon PRL right now and from what I saw it was decent, even through the first battery cycle with the ROM. I'll see how it runs this weekend.
If I want to go back to ICS, can I flash straight from EL29 or should I flash the EL26 kernel first and then upgrade?

ICS Battery life
I have been running "Wicked Sensations" now for 4 days, with the FF09 Modem. I also added the FF11 Kobridge Tweaks to the mix using the aggressive zip. I have been getting roughly 15 to 18 hours out of my battery. I keep my screen about 15% on the slider for brightness. I am heavy user and this seems to be the best combination for my SII. I came from Calkulin's 3.0 GB... If you decide to go back to ICS, this combination. Good luck.
Just wanted to share battery results here and maybe tell what rom your on etc. To help people choose what may be best for battery life. I'll go first.

I had all the Samsung stuff on at first but it was wake lock city.

If that's the case your going to have to do the research on your own buddy. Everyone has different setups/batteries/apps etc. Even if I was on a standard battery, my results may be different than yours. I can tell you how I do this/why I do that but overall it comes down to how YOU use your phone. We are giving you our response to the question asked. Some of us have changed our size/weight to out phones because the original battery doesn't hold up to our liking. Give nd8 a try with your regular battery and report back. Its just that simple. Hope this helps...

Shoot just do the math and you can figure out the stock battery results... Stock battery is 2300 mah (basically divide by 3 from the 7000 mah). But yes as mentioned, all results will differ.
I've tried many different kernels, ROMs and apps. On ND8, so far the stock ROM has been best for me.

i have a stock battery. ND8 (odex/rooted) has been good so far. I've been running it for a week. My phone seems to sleep well and don't have wakelocks as much as before. Debloating your system really helps with that. I greenify'd everything I can except for a few messaging and tracking programs. I also have location off (wifi and gps), which helps save battery too. Typically, I get about an 1 hour to 1 hour 15 mins of screen time per 25% battery. When its been asleep for a few hours, BBS says the drain is about 1.5% per hour. I also have full bars where I am, the phone doesn't have to work so hard to maintain a cell signal.
I can't compare to stock MK3 since I haven't ran anything stock for longer than a few days except ND8. I was running MOAR most of the time.
i'll try to get some screen shots at the beginning and end of my day tomorrow.
For the first few weeks I was getting really poor battery life on ND8 and nothing I could do would make it any better. Then suddenly a few days ago it turned around and now I no longer have to plug the phone in mid-day any more. Right now I'm getting great battery life.
My best guess is that the original problem was an app the was misbehaving under KitKat that got updated, or maybe an update to Google services in the background.
Here's my ND8 stock (rooted) battery results using the stock battery. I've greenify'd almost all my apps and debloated samsung/sprint apps. Slow day at work, so I was on my phone a lot texting, social media, youtube, ect. I got 4 hours of screen time
Today was a good day.
This is on the OEM battery that came with the phone when I bought it in December 2012 (and I bought it used!).
I'm running stock ND8, rooted & debloated myself, with ktoonsez TW4.4 kernel, balanced bull stock voltage profile:
Min freq all profiles: 378
Max freq all profiles: 1512
Screen-on governor: ktoonservative
Screen-off governor: Ondemand
No Greenify, DS Battery Saver or other micro managers. No undervolting, ktoonservative, 81-1536, fiops.
[BATTERY] Plasma Battery! ??? & wickeddecimalbarwide_colors
Charging still shot
Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII on TouchWiz 4.4.2 with Conquest: Singularity v6.3, Ktoonsez' latest kernel and the latest Philz Touch Recovery.
How are you guys getting such good results? I'm stock Rooted nd8 and only get like 9-10 hours, and screen on 2 hours 15 mins give or take. When I check Android system is taking a lot of power.. Double screen on

Custom ROMs & custom kernels/governors, & lowering the minimum frequency of the CPU. Check my signature. Based on ND8 but stripped of Samsung bloat. I've used Greenify and DS Battery Saver in the past, too, but sometimes it's good to take a step back and minimize the micro managing. This time around I've also only been restoring apps through Titanium Backup as I need them, so absolutely only apps I use are installed.
Also, do you turn off WIFI, mobile data, GPS, & Bluetooth when not using them?
