So I have been through all the big Roms the devs have to offer for the GNEX,
I have found that CNA is my personal fav. It has all the features I like, not to fancy, good performance / decent battery life....
But.
I need a ROM that is even more efficient. I get about a half day of use with most roms, with CNA I get about a day now.
I need some official collective data, WHICH IS THE BEST FOR BATTERY LIFE!?!?
Stock

Stock is most stable, smoothest and has the best battery life. Period

I am still on 4.0.2, looking to switch to a 4.0.3 ROM. Which one is best recommended for battery life and stability ? I don't care about crazy cool add on features, just want a solid phone with little to no bugs, that can handle making a ton of sales calls during the day...50 texts a day...20 emails...surf the web...post on XDA...Do all of that on a single charge.
I do have the Verizon extended battery.
Thank you

aokp + franco kernel
Every rom has awesome battery life until you start installing apps and widgets.
good day.
I am staying stock for awhile. Stock has been awesome battery life and features so far. Maybe if a rom included 32GB NAND I might switch.

Hi,
Just coming from my galaxy s epic 4g touch which was pretty good on battery.. I know roms and kernels could fix that issue with the galaxy nexus cdma which isn't so good..
Which of you tested out a few kernels/Roms and found great battery life when putting the galaxy through it's paces?
I actually love love the phone but the darn battery kinna sucks
Welcome . I also left Sprint and the E4GT. I love this Nexus. The 720p display is so awesome. And official ICS is a major upgrade for the Android OS.
But sadly the battery life is nowhere near what I was running with Calk's ROM + ICS theme. I could go 40 hours easily on light use. And get 12 - 14 hours on heavy days with tons of use, 5 hours display time.
I put the Nexus in the middle for battery life. My old but awesome EVO 4G sucked battery life like a vampire. With heavy use maybe 5-6 hours and light use was maybe almost a full day.
The Nexus seems to be in the middle, for sure way better than the EVO 4G, but not as good as the Galaxy SII, for battery life.
I think with ICS being so fresh, and the Nexus GPU new too, it will take a few Google updates and revised ROM's to really extend battery life close to the SII.

Get the extended battery, can maybe add 2 hours extra life. Turn off LTE if you don't need it, 4G sucks battery pretty good.
As far as ROM's + kernels, there are some really good ones out there.
- Android Revolution HD
- AOKP + Franco kernel
- Operation Code Name
Many others.

Ive tried aokp w/ stock, francos, imo
to be honest, i have not tested the IMOs fully, as an update was just released and i decided to flash with jakebites mod.
I am not a battery stats crazy guy, but i can say that both francos and imo are great so far, improvement in speed and battery life over stock.
I've heard people are getting great battery life with trinity's new kernel and if you are looking for stability, i hear its on heyitslou's defiant
I've found this list to be the most complete.

I would like to hear your feedback on your experiences also, as there are just simply not enough hours in the day to try everything, just want to try the best. hope that helps...
I just finished rooting my Galaxy Nexus (Sprint) and I'm looking for a decent ROM+Kernel combo to flash...
I'm coming from an OG Evo 4G and while there were ALOT of nice ROMS I'd say that about 9 out of 10 were "working fully"...by working fully I mean with no real issues...I understand that one or two things might not work that great but there were alot of ROMs that seemed like they were just pushed out to be the first with the latest "flavor of the month"...
I understand it takes tons of work to make custom ROMs and I appreciate all the hard work, but some folks just seemed like they threw anything together and flashed it...and also offered no support on the issues that popped up...
I can't decide whether to just leave this new phone rooted/stock or flash something...I just don't wanna go through constant FC's and non-working features on a brand new device...
I know most people say "flash it and find out for yourself" but I'm just asking a simple question here...just wanna know if most of these ROMs are solid...
so if there are any recommendations please post em up...
I'm sure there are some ridiculous ROMs for this phone because the phone itself is CRAZY!!
One other question- since I use Sprint do I have to look for ROMs for Sprint devices only or are all the Galaxy Nexus ROMs okay to flash?
Thanks.
So... you should just stay stock rooted.
Looks like the sprint dev section has most of the major players ported.
They are all stable for the most part.
I'm running Franco kernel nightly 152, that's there.
But Doesn't look like the ROM I'm on is ported yet.

I have ButterNutz which is fairly close to stock 4.0.4 if you aren't interested in customizing every little detail of the ROM. I haven't posted it here at XDA though.
AOKP Milestone 4 and Franco Milestone 3 on mine, have not had a single problem. Right now on 14 hours of moderate use - music, calls, texts, Web surfing but no gaming - w/ 39% battery life remaining.

Milestone 5 is out.
If you're just looking for a general outline, the big four are Gummy, AOKP M5, Miui, and CM9 alpha.
Of those I'd say AOKP gives you the most customization while miui gives you the least. Most other builds I've seen for the gnex are usually inferior (IMHO) builds of those 4.
I don't notice a huge difference between custom kernels but one major benefit is being able to set the clock speed. I know Franco does that when paired with the $3 app. So you can't go wrong there.
Good luck.

AOKP M5 with the kernel is comes with (faux). Great customization enhancing the stock experience and great battery life.

I'll suggest same as many others - AOKP M5 + nightly franco.kernel 152. Really buttery smooth and bug free experience.
Liquidsmooth + Francokernel is pretty good. very smooth, lots of useful tweaks, great battery life too.
Liquidsmooth 1.35 + Francokernel M3 = 26h battery (4h screen on time) last day.
AOKP M5 + Franco

Stock 4.0.4 IMM76D w/ 007 1.2ghz Kernel.
Best battery life with smooth performance and stock AOSP experience...the GOOGLE way.
BlackIce Kangorade by travp624 (on RootzWiki or Goo) or CM9 Kang by winner00. A very solid rom!! All the roms are great! For or a kernel that's fast and stays at an extremely low temp I always wind up sticking with Trinity! Great kernels, big selection! 1344/345 or the TUV.. I've flashed around and with these Trinity I always get 4+ on the screen ..
(w/heavy usage!!) You will notice a difference right away and just gets better. Also grab the app (Trinity Toolbox) Has some that aren't available to pubic and it's good to support the devs!! If you have never flashed Kangorade you are missing out! Amazing rom!!!!
Yes, most of the ROMs are quite stable, the exceptions to the rule seem to be clearly labeled as unstable. Yes, you will need to flash Sprint (toroplus) ROMs but you can flash any of the Galaxy Nexus kernels. Most of the mods and themes should probably work too but you'll probably have greater luck trying a CDMA version rather than GSM.
I wanted to know which 4.2.1 kernel you recommend. I'm currently using Franco nightlies but since going to 4.2 it hasnt been giving me the same battery life that it used to.
I'm looking for one that gives me great battery life with little or no sacrifice to performance. That said, I'm okay with the stock 1.2 GHz.

Just stick with the one that came bundled with your ROM. That's what it was built to play nice with.
Try starkissed kangerade, very fast and lots of custom settings to save power, see gnex android development forum to find thread

Battery
The battery is very poor with all kernel. I have 3G all the day and i can't arrive at the end of the day.. the screen time is about 2.5-3 hour. My next smartphone will have more then 3000mAh..
I try all the kernel and maybe franco is the best.. A good compromise..
Sorry for my bad english, bye
What rom + kernal+ tweaks give you the best battery life?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
The battery on this thing is already a best but battery savers are things like turning off LTE, GPS, AutoSync turning down screen brightness turning on power saver mode ect. Also using a custom kernel i have found that underclocking to 1Ghz really doesnt affect the phone noticeably unless your playing a graphically intensive game
I've found that Jedi X12 gives me the best battery life. The phone with the stock ROM has great battery life, but I've been noticing some improvement with Jedi. Although, I do have Nova Launcher installed on it too...

I have tried them all!! I am a crack flasher but in my experience I would go with these top 3 combos.
Cleanrom 1.5 AT&T Special edition with stock kernel or perseus it probably only depends on if you are on LTE or WIFI and how long your screen is on.
I am currently running JEDI with his SABER kernel. Maybe I am using the device more these days I am not sure.
BARE BONE STOCK is 3rd in my book.
All the AOSP or CM or any of the more famous ROMS gave me the worse battery life. I think those roms arent as mature as the MODDED TW roms
I can't believe this has been asked again...
Choose a rom that has features that you think or know you want or would like to try. Then depending on the rom you're running see what kernels are available to you (TW roms use TW kernels, aosp & such run on a different kernel). Let the phone run for about 3 days to let everything settle and see how your battery life is.
From general posts around here I've seen Jedi, Skynote, and personal experience here with the Alliance TW rom go about 22 hours with on average 5-7 hours of screen time. All of these roms are either stock or running saber/persues...

This is a question that will never get answered.
Everyone's experience will be different.
No two phones are alike. No users habits are alike. What may work for you won't work for me and vice versa. You could try them all out and find the best battery life for your habits.
