I vote juggernaut 5.0. Got 30 hours with 4.5 hours of screen on time with that baby.
Btw prepare for flameage from our wonderful xda hypocrite brethren. No one on here likes open ended questions.

darkside's digital warfare imho....could get a day & a half with moderate use easily. really though, anything with gingerbread should last you at least the day with this phone

I'd say the ROM doesn't particularily matter in regard to battery life. As long as you have a rooted rom, your best bet would be to use a CPU tuner to underclock your device using usage profiles for maximum battery life.
For gb i found juggernaut and synergy. Ics kernel development is underway though so we will find out soon enough. I believe tdj released his tmobile build with venom kernel.

Darkside all the way. On ics and in gb too

TDJ roms
I have tried so many roms and always ended up installing/restoring TDJ roms.
either GB or ICS, his roms are always fast, functional and smooth daily drivers IMO.
you can't go wrong with TDJ roms. give it a try.
I suggest juggernaut for gb. It gave me on average 16-19 hrs of battery life. Darkside is really good to for ics. Although for me it hasn't given me such great battery as juggernaut. BeastMOD 5.0 is another one that in my book give the BEST battery life. I could go more then a day with moderate use.i miss it:/ lol

Any of the CM7 based roms by Eugene or Beastmod 4.0 by Melvin.
Its very subjective based on your phone, kernal used and how you use your phone. I have seen the best battery life with TDJ roms and now recently I am running Chimeria vs Hercules and batter life is pretty good.
My sister is annoyed with the battery life of her GS3 despite how good it as been next to her old iPhone and she wants to squeeze more juice out of it. She's not as tech-savvy as most people on this forum so I'm looking for something that is as stable as it gets.
Thanks in advance.
I've found that the stock Touchwiz rom often gives me the best battery life

AGREE!
I have 3 GalaxyS3 in my family. 2 of them Rooted & with different ROMS... The stock gives me the BEST battery life and stability. :cyclops:
Best for me has been BlackJelly. Better than stock.
CM10 Stable.

There is already a thread asking the same question. In fact, the thread's title is almost the exact same as this one.

So the phone its totally stock except for power efficient kernel and root

AOKP is great and I'd say most stable... mix that with LeanKernel OC'd and UV'd Getting solid 4 hours of screen time no problem.

I've been on AOKP with the underwear kernel with phenomenal results. I very very rarely have any stability issues. Battery life is wonderful as well. Messing with governor and i/o settings can help increase battery life.
Much like others have said though, TouchWiz often leads to the best results in terms of stability and battery.

Agreed. The only issues I had with the AOKP ROM was black screen sleep death or whatever and also the screen hated to come back on when I would try to hang up a call.

I've had both of these problems as well. So small that they hardly go noticed. I've minimized the black wake screen with the voltage control settings below.
Task650 AOKP 4.1.2 JB. 11/18 Build
Underwear kernel (Intellidemand/Deadline)
I wanted to solve the same problem for my wife. I installed wanam Rom. It still looks and feels the same but it more than doubled her battery life over stock Rom. She hasn't complained since.
Ps. I wouldn't recommend putting her on cm10, AOKP, or any Aosp Rom for two reasons, she will most likely miss touchwiz features she is used to, and she will probably run into more problems with some stuff not working.

Task's AOKP ROM is the ****
Really liking Liquid Smooth. Great battery life very customizable. Second choice would be Serenity.
Task's AOKP ROM for me. Though I did have battery life problem as my phone was awake all the time. I wiped it clean and had only a few widgets, and add juicedefender app and my battery life was much much better. Maybe it's not the ROM but what your sister has on her phone?
I've got a SGS 3 now and let my wife have the SGS 2. The first day I had it I got 4 hrs and 7 minutes of screen on time on the stock ROM. That was texting, checking email and surfing the web. I don't have a lot of apps installed such as facebook etc... and I don't keep it synced to google servers. I rooted it but am sticking with stock for now. Seems to be doing well.
My wife and I both have Galaxy S3's, mine from Verizon (Work) and her's AT&T. I'm running the Jelly 'Beans' ROM with Imoseyons 1.8 Lean Kernel and the phone is great with excellent battery life.
What I need for her phone is a stock-looking ROM on the front end with a fast and stable back end with GREAT battery life. She came from an HTC OneX and her only complaint about the S3 is battery life compared to the HTC. I need something that I can flash and forget, doing constant flashes on her phone isn't feasible. So, what's the best ROM and Kernel combo for her?
For battery life and simplicity Liquid Smooth beta with KTOONZ kernel is what I'd run excellent battery life. Its my back up rom. I've had 4% battery drop in five hours. Very fast and stable no glitches at all.

If you want a ROM where you dont need to flash constant updates - stick to a TW based ROM.
Like CSRom or Dandroid
If i had to recommend a good rom i would say Vanilla Rootbox, it's stable with a good amount of features.
Team Venum Wicked Sensations.

Another vote for CSROM. Great battery life (especially with Ktoonsez's kernel) and it's TW so she won't have much adjusting to do.
I think I'm going to go with CSROM with Ktoonsez's kernel. Thanks for the replies!
CSROM or i747z are great.

If you want to keep it simple, try Task650's AOKP 4.2.1 rom. Great battery life, extremely stable, no ridiculous theming, tons of setup options within the rom. Would be perfect for your wife, sir!
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
I'm running Task's AOKP on my AT&T S3. It's fast and I get great battery life, up to 2 or 3 days sometimes without heavy use. With average use, you can still easily get through the day.
CyanogenMod is a pretty good and light rom to start with.
but if you dont like constant updates, i'd say just stick with TW rom, the Samsung apps on there are pretty sweet, especially S Memo
Rom (Blackjelly): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883845
and
Kernel (KT747): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756776
Both combined give me a fantastic battery life along with great performance.

I don't know if you've made your decision OP, but most of these people recommend TW based roms. I agree with them. AOSP roms are constantly getting updated which is not what you want, so touchwiz based is the way to go. CSRom is an excellent choice and KToon's kernel is superb for battery life in my own experience. Just wanted to let you know that AOSP roms are not really what you should choose if you don't plan on flashing her device a lot.

Actually, you only have to flash a lot if those updates are important to you. I've been on the same version of tasks 4.1.2 rom for months, no need to update... most of the updates are tiny tweaks and updates, like lockscreen options, and things like that... as long as it's stable and fully functional (which tasks builds are infamous for being) just grab the latest version, flash and forget.

At this point 4.2.1 is still in early stages. I would wait a while until most things are fully functional and the only things being worked on are additions and minor minor bugs that don't affect performance to much.

I agree, this is why I just moved to tasks 4.2 aokp last night. It's flawless. Everything works fine so long as you follow his directions in the op.

@hednik compiled this thread for the TW based ROMs: 4.1.X TW kernels
check it out and look them over for reviews and feedback
I used instigator x and faux when on it. Kernels really don't affect the battery as much as rogue wake locks and apps do.

Do believe slim is also not aokp
There are some older TW roms running GB and ICS might wanna check those out. I dont know about battery life but I would believe a close to stock GB rom would get better battery then fully fledged TW UX jelly bean rom but thats just me. Id experiment a bit because im sure everyones battery status is different depending on the manufacturing quality or how the battery was used. Good luck! :good:
I always found tw ICS stock koodo was best battery for me. Mines always ****ty though, 14 hours max a day with only 1 hr screen usage

The best battery life ROM = ICS Touchwiz. May have a decrease in performance but honestly the best there is.
