Jelly Bean ROM Battery life

I would post this on the actual topic, but it won't let me. Apparently I'm too new.
Anyway, I'm running GedeROM right now, and looking to upgrade to the latest Jelly Bean ROM. Link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765288
So what's the battery life like on the JB ROM? It's over clocked to 1.2Ghz which I assume would hurt the battery life a bit. Is it at least as good as the stock?
What kind of battery life for e-reading with the wifi on/off?

The battery life is not as good as the stock or even ICS [in my opinion]. But, the loss in battery life is not significant enough to stop you from migrating to JB.

unfortunately, i can't give you any numbers, but from personal experience ill tell you: go for jb. it is just awesome how they improved the handling/smoothness. i did not expect this to work that well on a "low-end" device like the kindle fire, but it surely does.

Thats interesting, I never thought about it using more battery life, thanks!

Better than ICS here. Three day standby so far.

Am I the only one still using GB???

I have found that out of all the ROM's Ive tried, even the latest JB ones, that the ones with the best battery life and stability were Blazer and Calks 3.0. Those of which are on Gingerbread. So, am I the only one that thinks or agrees to this? I might not be "up to date" but my performance is damn good! =)

must be
What little extra battery life I'm not getting on FK23 & FL16 compared to GB is not worth all the extra goodies I would have to live without. For me GB is boring and the tradeoff is more than worth it.
Have you tried both the TW JB and the AOSP JB roms?

Haha, you're not the only one. After DD'ing Jellybean leaks for the past 25 days, I flashed back to my Calkulin nandroid backup for its awesome battery life. . I got the best Jellybean battery life on fl16 (3 hrs 45 mins) but it can't compare to the ~6 hrs on calkulin. I'm just gonna wait now for the ota Jellybean + source before I try it again.

Probably not the 'only' one. But in these parts XDA Developers you will certainly be in the minority.
By it's very nature these forums are for those looking for the latest greatest and bleeding edge technologies and tweaks.
The latest JB builds are awesome. Good battery, hotspot working natively (so far). Stable. Google Now natively. More responsiveness. Nicer looking and more customizable. I get about 14+ hours with fairyly heavy usage - my cell is my phone for work and home.
Yes these forums do provide some great stuff for the 'regular joe' but that's not what the forums are here for. We try to work together to get the most out of the devices as possible. That usually means functionalily and features 1st, performance 2nd and battery 3rd. I do know that there are some devs who may change those orders but that is usually the case.
I have always been amused by the 'how long does your battery last' crowd. While I think any phone should last at least a day with a good battery and reasonable usage I think it's silly to 'demand' more. It's 2012 get another battery (or external battery for emergencies) for backup, grab more chargers - I have one in all cars, home office work office and laptop bags.
Just my two cents.

Have you tried replacing your battery ? I just bought 2 new ones from Anker and my phone is getting better battery life and I'm running FL16 JB. I am delighted with the purchase and wish I had done it sooner. Here's link and read up on them as well.

Good luck

Personally I use CM10 on my phone, but on my mate's phone, it's running Blazer's 4.1 GB sheerly because of the WiMax speeds. If I didn't love flashing the latest and greatest, I would've stuck with GB too.

From my experience, nothing beats calkulin's 2.8.1. I wanted to like more current roms, but even with underclocking, ics and jb chug the battery. People can ask or claim that your battery is bad. If the battery is bad then why can I get about double the battery life out of calkulin when compared to more recent roms? Same battery, twice the run time, practically no lag or noticeable performance hit. I was halfway through my second extended life battery during a normal shift at work with ics and jb when going home when I'd be around 20% with calkulin gb on the first battery. I'm not saying everyone else is wrong in their preferences, but to me, battery efficiency without noticeable CPU hit means everything. Other builds seem sluggish and battery hogs to me. Don't get me wrong, there's some cool features with new builds but the trade off of battery isn't worth it to me. It's a damned shame calkulin moved onto other pastures. He definitely knew his $hit when it came to tweaking rooms and I like his choices he took in his earlier builds with this phone.
I think if calkulin and bugless beast Pete got together, their rom would be damned near bulletproof. Peter Alfonzo.

Pacman ROM has amazing battery life for being JB. Plenty of customization tweaks as well, I used to only rock blazer 4.1 as well but some of my apps got updated and now require to be on ICS or JB based ROM.

try another kernel on JB...may be its make ur battery life to be good...

You must have amazing battery life cuz fk23 has matched el29 battery wise and has better signal for me anyway

Current best known setup for battery life?

Currently I am on HO!NO!'s Full Throttle V9 (CM9 base) with a slight undervolt, an OC at 1.78Ghz, brightness on lowest, and LTE off. There is not a huge difference in battery life between HSPA+ and EDGE. The idle battery drain is about ~1%/hour which is pretty fair.
I've heard some people say they've gotten very good results on CM10.1 with Wind Kernel and I was was hoping that people could share what their setup is as far as achieving the battery life I've read about in some ROM threads. I feel outdated rocking CM9, when CM10.1 has alot of nice features I'd like to get in on.

imo the rom in my sig, but i haven't tested every one

for battery?
ICS: Liquid Nitro and HO!NO!'s v20f are probably the best, then HO!NO! CM9.
JB: I have no idea! Right now I'm running CM10.1M2+Wind, but it still drains too fast when in use, especially while using data/wifi, but it's getting better with incremental versions. I didn't have much luck with the CM10 variants I tried, but I might go back and try Quattrimus again.

Looks like my suspicions are confirmed so far, that no JB ROM can touch ICS as far as battery life goes. I have no clue why this is, although I know that 4.2.2 is much better than 4.1. However, as big of an improvement as 4.2.2 is over 4.1, it still doesn't come close to ICS battery life.

Screen off I can get 4.2.2 sleeping like a baby.
It's when the screen is on and data is being transferred that it becomes a bit of a hog.
Even so, I can usually get through a day of use without charging.

have you tried slimkat? I use 4.3 because it's had the best battery life. have you ran betterbatterystats to see what's using the battery? you can do some tweaks to improve the battery life with whichever rom you like.

I've seem to notice the best luck with CyanogenMod 11 Nightly (01/01/13 build). The battery drain hasn't been as bad. I tried CyanFox 4.4.2 and I felt that drained a bit quicker than CM11. Have you tried CM11? I know it's not at a stable release yet, but CM hasn't come out with a 4.4 stable release yet in general.
Seems like a lot of roms are still trying to iron out the bumps. I can post some battery results once i've tried CM11 for the rest of the day here.

I have, it was okay. Idk how to do any tweaks >.< honestly scared to try when idk what i am doing. So i rather be on the safe side & not mess with it, but I noticed there isnt very many roms & etc done for this phone :0/ okay so what about any of the 4.3 roms good on battery?

I'm a major fan of mrfeuss's 4.4 OmniROM. Haven't come across any bugs and am able to pull close to 48 hours with lite usage and listening to music almost all day. The XDA release of viper4android also works extremely well with it. Able to drastically increase the bass of my Sony MDR-XB400's while maintaining amazing clarity.

But you are getting good battery? Unfortunately i have to use my phone a little more than lite, more like medium usage & staying stock is jus ehhh annoying. Thank you very much everyone :0D I appreciate it.

A few phone calls, periodically texting, checking XDA and Facebook, surfing the web and listening to music. You could easily go a full day underclocked at 1.1GHz.

So is it worth putting Kit Kat on GNexus?

Just received this phone and it seems pretty decent for having 4.2.2 but the battery drains like crazy on the phone and it seems that Cell Standby is using the battery the most on this phone at 86%. So is it worth putting Kit Kat on the phone or will battery drain still be a issue with the phone?

I see no reason why not.

Worthy from most aspects, except for battery, where it's mostly decided by how you use your phone. I just couldn't see any difference in battery usage between JB and KK.
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11

I felt quite a bit of performance difference between stock 4.3 and CM11...for example, RAM usage which would restart the launcher quite often on 4.3 is nearly gone and there are really no bugs to speak of, even in this early stage (I am using the latest stable build, but still...)

YES, I've found performance to be GREAT and best my device has run in a while(had huge ram leak issues before installing KK which caused SERIOUS lag issues)
As for battery life, there isn't very much you can do short of putting device into airplane mode and toggle on WiFi only.(yes you can use wifi in airplane mode)
I don't use carrier anymore, and this is the only time I've gotten a nice boost in battery life. The cell radios in this device (especially the CDMA/LTE version) just gulps down battery life like no other.
You will also see a nice boost just from disabling the cellular data fully or only using 3g.
4.3, I wouldn't even waste time downloading... Gawd I got so used to having to reboot three times a day just to rectify lags caused by memory leaks. So horrid.
I'm loving using this thing again thanks to KK

I haven't noticed a battery life gain, but I have definitely noticed a better overall performance and satisfaction level. I personally like how 4.4.x works and operates better than < 4.3 Maybe I just got burned out on that interface, but 4.4.x is a nice change that is definitely smooth and stable enough to enjoy. My $.05

I also just got GN used and battery life seems fine on CM 10.2.1 (18-22 hours avg.). You might want to consider that your phone is in need of a battery replacement if bought used, or that you are getting a weak signal in your area, making the radio work harder to maintain coverage. Is the phone currently activated? Either way, try airplane mode for the latter case like others have stated.
If you try KK, you might benefit all around from using a custom kernel. Make a nandroid backup before flashing one, look up a few videos on undervolting/overclocking, and check out Nephilim's custom kernel settings thread.
Good luck!

I used the OmniMetal ROM that is listed in the Android Dev section and was quite happy with the battery life. I could get up to 30-32 hours if the phone was left alone and only used to check the time occasionally. Then again, battery life is dependent on on phone usage, so mileage always varies.

There is a great sticky on the GSM GNexus development thread comparing the features of all the popular roms. It is very easy to miss if you have the verizon/sprint variant because those sections have their own set of sticky threads. Anyway, I highly recommend checking that list out since it will save you a ton of time

Are you talking about stock 4.3 or a custom rom? If not stock, then which rom? I've had the home screen refresh on me a few times on CM 10.2 but not as bad as you describe. Maybe I should upgrade for KitKat's lower memory footprint alone.

Remix Rom
Try the Remix Rom, based on KitKat, fast, stable and the battarydarain is awsome! :good:

I've tried out ParanoidAndroid 4.2 and CM11, they both work smooth and stable. As for the battery drain, flash Fancy Kernel and use some of the settings to squeeze some more life and better sound!
hope it helps
