Just wondering, what ROMS have you guys tried and genuinely thought "Wow, the battery really is good".
I've been trying Renovate since version 8 and battery on my device has been pretty poor, on AR-HD it's quite regular, don't have any issues with it.
I'm sticking with Sense and haven't tried any other Sense ROMS and that's why I'm asking.
Also not planning to switching to AOSP ever.

Just downloaded it and going to flash it right now, thanks for posting.
I've read in the thread an update is coming though, any idea what the changes/fixes will be?
I think ARHD V9.7.2 have more stable and better battery performance to JB ARHD 16!
I have over heat issue with that!

I used ViperX for a long time. That has always given me the best battery life. I've even been able to get up to 6h of screen on time with heavy internet use.
If you're looking for a JB sense ROM, I had great battery life on both InsertCoin and OrDroid. Nowhere near ViperX, but still good.

Had a PM asking how I manage to get 6 hours of on screen use and thought my reply might help others, so I'm going to post it here too.
"Hey man,
That was with ViperX 2.7.1 running the AOSP theme.
Yeah I've had 6 hours, or near to it, quite a few times now. I actually use the stock kernel included in .zip.
I also desense the rom and mainly use the phone with about 30% brightness. Also, make sure feed sync is switched off in Facebook under the accounts and sync area in the settings because that's an absolute killer. I still have Plume and GMail set to sync almost all the time, but with Facebook on, it totally destroys the battery. If you want to sav even more battery whilst increasing battery life, switch everything to manual sync.
ViperX is an excellent choice. I've used loads of the new JB sense roms and none can compare to ViperX for battery life and the excellent mods included.
Hope this helps."

Anyone know if battery life will improve at all with the new gingerbread update coming tomorrow? I'm just curious to see if they helped improve that at all, knowing that alot of people are currently running 2.3 already.

There probably won't be a big increase in battery life, but what this does mean is that there will be source for GB Sense kernels for the EVO. This is great because then kernel developers can start cooking better kernels that offer more battery savings.
I certainly hope so, but I wouldn't count on a major increase.

I have an extended life battery on my EVO. It has always allowed me to use the EVO as much as I wanted as long as I charged it nightly. Since I installed Gingerbread, my phone will no longer make it all day. Gingerbread actually made my battery life much worse. I wish I had never installed it.
Well, every update I'm sure has some specific things that optimize the processes the phone runs and the task killers, so there's probably some minor improvements. I doubt you'll notice all that much though . If you're having issues with battery life hit up my sig lol
my moms evo had a problem with battery life. Some how it wasnt charging correctly. A battery pull for a few minutes fixed the issue.

I've been running GB now for almost a week and I definitely have quite a bit worse batter life.
I installed a rooted gb rom last night and updated all the radios. Runs smoothly but my battery life has significantly gone down. Does anyone know if there is a known display issue with the update? See my screenshot of my battery stats.

My display totally eats my battery on the new update. Very lame
We're comin from a pure power source.
Retraction to my previoius post in this thread
I found an email with a rather large attachment in my outbox that my phone was continually trying to send. When I deleted the email, my battery life returned to performance that was similar to the performance I had prior to the GB update. I believe the phone was continually trying to send the email and it was swamping my battery.
Hi all,
As we all know, battery life for the One X sucks big time.
I need to know which ROM of the ones posted in the development section is better when it comes to battery life.
My current state is consuming 50% of it in the first two hours and this is horrible for me.
Appreciate your assistance!
Try Viper ROM, but I'm using RD MIUI now, I'm tired of Sense. Btw I have only 2G, but with 3G, the battery works fine.
EDIT: I don't recommend CM9 or AOKP, on these, multi-touch doesn't work correct, I games u have onetouch instead of multi-touch.

I don't have my screenshot, but I had around 60% battery left on Viper, and I used WiFi, communicators, XDA app, and some gaming. And Viper have a lot of tweaks, so u can personalize it as u want.

leedroid rom
I read in onexroot.com that LeeDroid suppose to be a good rom, concerning battery life time.
I would be glad if someone that have experience with this rom could say something about it, if it really good.
Does everything work with this rom? or it have some problems?
Regards

There is no work going on in Leedroid ROM since may as Leedroid is having some personal issues so he is been away from xda.
It was a good ROM.
You should either go for ARHD ROM or ViperX ROM{ if u love customizations } and jan - the main developer of ViperX ROM was also the creator of Leedroid tweaks
This is my battery life on InsertCoin with faux 6m. Always got great battery life with this ROM.

I'm using RD-MIUI 2.8.10 CM9 version with ncx kernel. On my third battery cycle I got roughyl 2 days 8 hours on battery and about 3.5 hours of screen time.
Try ARHD. It keeps sense 4.1 while having excellent battery life and nice performance and eye candy.
I know im going to get flamed on this for making 'another better rom for battery thread' but ive been away for two weeks and i see some new roms are out for jellybean, i am currently rocking AndroidMe Cm10 rom, but would like to try a different rom for better batterylife. (its not the best as is ..) i know you guys are going to say every device varies but chances are what most people are getting better battery life on so will mine... so what would you guys reccomend? i really dont want to revert to TeamGummy 4.0.4 (ICS) but if i cant find a better batterylife
well, a better battery life is mostly up 2 the kernel, screen brightness, wireless and network usage, other settings r just familiar of most roms.
though ice has a better battery life than jb, i think
the GUMMY doos have a good battery life 'cause it's using the imoseyon kernel:good:
Noooooo!!

Not trying to flame you but you answered your own question in the OP. Every device varies along with the way each person uses it. I don't have any technical expertise to fall back on when choosing a ROM so it's mostly a trial-and-error process. Flashing a different ROM or kernel is fairly simple, so just experiment and see which one gives you what you are looking for. I rarely, if ever, got the same performance that other users reported when I had my Evo. And lastly, read what other people are saying about a particular combination. XDA has no shortage of people willing to try out new things and let the rest of the community know how it worked. The last 3 pages of a thread are usually the best place to look and see what kind of success/failure rate is happening.

well, in the 2 weeks that you were gone, there have been amazing breakthroughs in development! The battery now lasts almost 2 weeks with on avg 17hrs of screen on time!
*sigh* just look at the kernel threads and youll see, its not like there's 70+ kernels

I'm really curious to know what the battery life on CM10 is since I used to have FF18 and I have to say that it wasn't as great as I expected it. Right now I downgraded to EL29, mainly bc of battery consumption but I want to know other people's experience with CM10.
The cm 10 battery life will vary..for Me Jb battery life is fine..with a little effort it is very possible to get good battery life..was it as good as ICS.?.honestly no..but ICS has source for our device and source for in on our device hasn't came

I barely even use it AT ALL, and battery is at 32% after less than 10hrs. Also, playing Bad Piggies for 30mins, and it'll go from a full charge to 12%.
ICS wasn't any better for me either, but I think JB is a tad worse...
im running nightlies from phantomphreak and im getting 13-15 hrs average. thats with moderate usage. best thing you can do is set it to 800mhz max and conservative. everything still perfectly smooth for me
heres my battery life with the latest nightly from phantom freak. cpu set at 800mhz max with pegasusq governor
absolutely terrible lol i gotta charge it like 2-3 times a day

It's related to Media Services, if you have Google Music installed, you can stop if from trying to sync. Better Battery Stats is is better than the app you are using, imo.
if you're running on a Android 5.0 rom, go into developer settings and turn off the expiremental nuplayer as well as turn off google now voice recognition and take a look at gsam after a while whether it is still there.

Actually you could have simply ignored it as based on my experience it doesn't have a negative impact on battery life at all. I reduced it and I didn't even see any improvements in battery life at all.
I have it as well and just like Bobbi said, it doesn't seem to be impacting my device's battery life whatsoever. I am actually getting an amazing battery life on GPE whereas I had a horrible one on Sense.

I still have better battery life on sense with elementalx and renovate rom as compared to GPE but its mostly based on my usage of the phone... And the way I use it that day... But the worse battery is AOSP roms, I can barely squeeze out 5hrs of SOT
I believe I may have jinxed my device with the earlier posts. I took the device off the plug at around 1 AM (100%) and did not use it; I woke up around 9 hours later (yes I sleep a lot) and it was 65%!!! I may give Renovate Sense a shot since ViperOne's battery life on my device isn't great.

I tried installing RENOVATE as a secondary on MultiROM but it doesn't work. I configure it in AROMA but once it reaches the actual installation stage it just doesn't give any output or percentages and immediately says "installation finished". Any ideas on what I could do at this point? Thanks.

I'm running Renovate rom at the moment with not much issues. I dont use multi-rom (never used before) so I'm not sure why it wont install. Why dont you just install as a normal rom like me? Everything will be fine, i assure you
If you want great battery, install renovate with elementalX and you're good:good:
