I use CM9 RC1. For some reason it works much better than RC2 and the stable version on my phone.

CyanogenMod 10 was just released as stable for us, I believe soon enough they will develop and overclock kernel and we'll be all set.
However, does anyone think that a downgrade to HONO Full Throttle is worth it for the ability to overclock? From what I understand, it is a small OC of about 20% to 1.86Ghz. Does it really make that big of a difference?

If you want try it then make a backup and test it out. Full throttle is a step back and I prefer the JB ROMs. But its worth a shot. Just watch your battery stats with OCing, Typically a higher CPU uses more battery.

Full Throttle is my daily driver. It's a small OC but it's better than nothing. My Antutu score hit 7200 and my Quadrant averages 3750. I also OC the GPU even though its default is already OC'd. The battery on Full Throttle is FAR better than any JB ROM I've used, so far. On a normal day (txting, couple calls, browsing, ect) I get about 20+ hours w/ 3hrs of 'Screen On' time. It may be a downgrade, but it's best I've used. I also have my UV settings set to best battery life w/out causing reboots. Love Full Throttle! Patiently waiting for HO!NO! to commence dev work and see what else he has to offer.
EDIT: I just leave the OC stock @ 1728Mhz as well. I tried 1836 but after playing a game for a bit it overheats and reboots. Also doesn't pass a stability test @ 1836, but every phone seems different on what clock it can handle..
Okay, I've tried both.
From a very limited usage, I am going to conclude that CM10 stable is currently the better ROM. Being able to overclock ~20% on an older ROM does not actually match the performance boost of upgrading to a new, more efficient ROM. Now if only we had more developers for the Nitro.

Wait. So u asked today if it would be worth trying Full Throttle, and now you "have" and conclude cm10 stable is better simply b/c it's newer? JB is smoother, yes, but I seriously doubt you gave the Full Throttle ROM a proper run (2-3 days). My 4 days of cm10 "stable" was riddled with reboots and battery drain equal to about 7%/hr. Smooth, yes.
EDIT: If you haven't tried it, pA 2.5x is pretty cool. It's based on CM10 stable now. The battery life is horrible, but there wasn't any annoying reboots.

I beg to differ on the reboots... actually, no. I call them random shut-downs. Had 3 since flashing 2.55, but I'm still sticking with it. X0dus, I just don't understand how you get so much better battery life on FT than any of the CM10 variants. I'm not disputing it, I just don't get it. If anything, the experience I had as far as battery life goes was about equal. In fact, the best battery life I've gotten so far was on an earlier, buggier version of CM10.
About an hr and half screen on time w/ stock battery. Not a normal use day due to 10hr shift but still use

Mother of God... that's absolutely insane. Even with the Hyperion extended battery I couldn't get that kind of time... I don't do much calls or texting, no games, but I do a good bit of web browsing. Even on FT I couldn't pull those numbers.
Although I did pull something like 1 day 6 hours on that CM10 version I mentioned earlier... had about 3 hours screen on time.. but again, extended battery.

ROMs themselves rarely ever have an actual impact on battery life. Most postive effects for battery come from the kernel, and negative ones from rogue apps.
Before you ask which kernel offers the best battery, it really depends on the requirements of the user and the phone itself. You'll just have to try a few.

Hmm.. thats strange. I'm on MMuzzy's ROM which is pure AOSP and I get around 2 and a half hours of screen time. And some people around the forums have gotten around 5 hours of screen time with different combinations of ROMS and Kernels.
I have tried numerous roms, if not all of them for the galaxy nexus, and there is a difference between roms, even using the same kernel.

Does letting the ROM settle really help? I have been getting terrible battery life out of my 2100mah. The battery just drains when the screen is off. No rogue apps, but this is a fresh install as of 24 hours ago

I wasn't going to put my 2 cents in but because there are so many complaints about this being in the wrong place, I just have to now.
I have tried many different ROM's and kernels and found there always seems to be the "right" combination sooner or later. Right now I am on AOKP w/Franco M6 and getting about 14 hours with 24% battery left, 2.5 hours screen time, mostly LTE and moderate phone use, best I have seen of any combo for me on this ROM. For CNA the right kernel for me was lean kernel. A little experimentation and patience and you will find that sweet spot soon enough.
Edit: the whining drew me to it, sucked me in so I couldn't stop myself from answering
If someone can get 4+ hours screen with mostly 3G, let me know. haha.

2) If you guys see something posted in the wrong section, report it. No need to get in an internet gang war about it. Us mods have a life too and we can not be here 24 hrs a day to watch over you. When you hit the report button, we see it.
I have lately been running tests of different ROMs and trying to get the best battery life possible! I have tested out these ROMs:
Jedi Mind Trick X1
CM10 Stable Release 4.1.2
AOKP Jellybean 4.1.2
Slim Bean Unofficial 4.1.2
When i flashed these ROMs i did a battery calibration (off app from play store NOT CWM). And ran them on FULL Brightness, GPS ON, BLUETOOTH ON, and running on Wi-Fi! I opened up netflix and watched multiple movies (same movies for each ROM)...until the phone went completely dead. Here are the results i got:
Jedi Mind Trick X1: 4 1/2 Hours
CM10 Stable Release: 3 3/4 Hours
AOKP Jellybean: 4 Hours
Slim Bean Unofficial: 5 3/4 Hours
As most people know the Screen does use over half of the battery. So on this test the screen was on NON-STOP for the amount of time you see above. And 99% of people will not have their screens on for that long at one time. So this is the WORSE-CASE scenario for battery life. I was impressed mainly with Slim Bean and Jedi Mind Trick did good as well.
You may get different results than I did. If you are using a ROM that i did not test or you tested one of these ROMs above and got different results please post below your results.
I hope this helped guys

Personally I have the best battery performance, regardless of the ROM, by setting up CPU profiles. Basically you can set one profile to limit the to 432 (or whatever you want) while the screen is off and 1500+ while screen is on. I use ROM Toolbox Pro for this and get really good results. If your interested just do some searching on ROM Toolbox Pro and CPU profiles. Just thought I would share

Here's my battery today on slim bean...I love this ROM
Since my phone "lost" my IMEi (actually, it was just not able to read it anymore), I flashed back to Stock Samsung 4.0.4. Before, I used SB 3.0.
And I can also report that battery life is much better now. Perfect example is a night in flight mode, which results in about 1% loss vs 6% loss @ SB.
As there are several guys I talked to which have perfect battery life with this ROM and I also had till 2.8 or so, there must be some misconfiguration. Or a battery draining app.

I've been running this ROM for the good half part of this day, and I must say, the battery is not as good as I hoped. Maybe I'll have to let it settle in, but CM so far beats this in terms of battery life.
I agree with the comment about stock being better than SB 3.0 and onlychevy's 3.1. It is a downer to realize most custom roms don't actually optimize for better battery life. I test the battery life by playing 5 minutes of youtube on 3g only to see how much is drained. On SB, 1% is drained for every 2 minutes of playback, and 3 minutes on stock.
I'm obviously not a 'dev' but is there any reason that the software that makes up GB compared to ICS allows the battery to last waaaaay longer, I am in the middle of the unbricking/rooting process and just playing around on the GB for a day and I noticed this? While on ICS it would be at 70% after just 2-3hrs or sometimes less % so what in your opinions allows for this and is there anything from GB software that can be used in unison with ICS or JB ROMs to allow for better battery life, maybe this makes no sense and it obviously doesn't for me either just wanted to ask this?
Thanks
I used to run the CM9 and CM10 builds, as well as the carrier ICS. I can tell you that my phone is more stable, and the battery seems to last longer under GB. Everything I need works in GB.. So until there is a version of android that doesn't crash my phone I will stick with GB.

All I can tell you is this. When I first got my phone in May it came with GB, I would only get four hours before needing a recharge. Very upset about this I did research and found I was not alone, this is actually how I found XDA So I purchased an extended life battery and finally could go all day on a charge. Then I got brave and went through the unbrick process (because I was dumb and upgraded to v10j). As soon as I started running cm my battery life doubled, then after official came out I found it equally impressive with battery life especially after disabling fast dormancy. However I would be willing to try GB out again for a few days to see how my battery life is and in comparison.

I would try one of the stocks, v20f or liquid nitro. They will give you better battery life than GB, cm9, cm10. After all this FUD above I put GB on my phone for a couple of days and couldn't even make it through the day. Screen on power is MUCH higher on GB and that is why. This is also what I experienced when I first for my phone in May.

I've tried quite a lot of roms and I still find stock the best for battery life myself. I've done the undercoating volting and different kernels and haven't been able to replicate the longevity. Now mind you everyone's results are different.
Depending on the apps you use and how you use your phone; so for my purposes stock debloated works. Not as smooth or fast as others though but don't let it stop you from continually trying new roms. There is always refinement and always something better around the corner

My battery on CM10.1 drains faster than TouchWiz, but it has gotten much better with the latest nightlies. I also keep sync, gps, nfc, data, bluetooth, etc off at all times. But I found that Greenify help me reduce my wakelocks and idle battery drain, because it hibernates apps that stay constantly running in the background (Facebook, I'm looking at you).
I feel like I'm the only one based on what I've read on the forums, but I have been getting very good battery life from Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC 2-4 with Ktoonsez's kernel. I have been getting 4.5-5 hours of screen time, which is the same I was getting on stock. I use Facebook, Facebook messenger, Twitter, Instagram, Google plus. I use bluetooth/WiFi/gps intermittently throughout the day. I'm not holding back at all in terms of usage and I'm doing pretty well

I get about the same.. Maybe a little less battery life on aosp. Remember too touchwiz has power saving options on by default which may have something to do with it. I have been on aosp for a few days now and let my battery cycle a few times and its probably the same now. Its weird because theoretically it should be better with a lot less bloat and background touchwiz crap.

Bloat or not, the battery drain is probably due to the fact that the ROM platform, which is on dozens of different devices; isn't optimized properly for one device it's ported to. That's why I always stay stock. Generally better battery life and more functionality. I don't know why so many people praise AOSP. The UI looks like a TouchWiz UX in beta and its not nearly as practical when it comes to features like the camera.
I get good battery life after using greenify and messing with some kernel settings . I've definitely learned that most ROMs don't differ much from each other battery wise , earlier I got a one percent drop an hour with light texting and a few calls which is better than touchwiz for me.

I unplug when I get up, and the battery will last pretty much last all day until I plug it in when I go to bed. I am using DS battery saver, set for 2 hour wake intervals.
I could be that stock gets better life, but again, I haven't seen any noticeable difference. I probably do not use my phone as much as some do.
I've used greenify since it's release and it's definitely worth installing.

AOSP battery life on my device is about the same as TW roms.
A couple of months ago I couldn't say that, probably because the 3.4 kernel development still needed to mature on aosp

Battery life has never been good for me in AOSP. I am a huge fan of Task's AOSP work, but I have never been able to get over 12hrs, even w/ light use. I'm sure if I tweak the settings, maybe undervolt and all that good stuff, then I would see an improvement in battery life. But I just flash and use the ROM as it comes. I also refuse to have bluetooth, NFC, sync or anything else turned off, because then what's the point of having a smart phone? I had to revert back to TW based ROM .

I've had great battery life on aosp, I try to remember to toggle off data/NFC/WiFi as much as possible, but with regular use I'd average 3 hrs screen on time. Anytime I flash a new ROM I clean wipe & start fresh, I've found even updating a ROM without a wipe can cause a drain. Kernel settings are mostly stock, I oc to 1.7 and mess with the gov. settings a bit.
I've had my phone for 4 months now and have yet to try a tw rom for more then a few hours. Just can't stand it!

I ran tasks AOSP since possibly November last year, and I never dirty flashed. I always figured the hour it took me to set the phone again the way I had it was well worth it because my phone was incredibly stable. I only came back to TW when task updated to Linux kernel 3.4 which my phone did not agree with. Like I said earlier, if know of people who have gotten over 20 hrs of battery from a single charge. I was never one of them. I never gave it much thought because I always have access to a charger. But since I switched to TW, namely S3Rx,i find that I am less worried about battery without having to worry about shutting some services off. Also, I really wasn't taken advantage of the improvements AOSP provided over TW.
To the OP. I think you should try whichever Rom you think fits your needs. If the thought of being in AOSP is too alluring, you should definitely try it. I will always swear by Task's version of AOKP. People can complain about the man's attitude all they want, but the quality of his work is impecable. If not, the are other very good aosp based ROMs available.
In any case, is phone is basically limitless, so take advantage of that!

I bought a zero lemon 7000mah on amazon for 30$ 3 days of battery life.

Running slimbean build 6+ bms kernel on stock battery. Even with all the apps, phone calls, and texting all day at work and emails and data on I'm happy. I think I could hit 20 hours. That's from 6:05am to around 9:40pm. It was at 4%
