What rom provides the best battery life?

Battery life is a huge issue to me cause I hate charging my phone twice a day. So I am wondering what rom has provided the best battery life for others?

This is what i am on, and I installed francos kernel, but now it is draining my battery even faster so I think im gonna switch back

what governor r u running?
did u open up the camera and back out to make sure it was keeping ur phone awake?
how often do u have things sync?
do u have something running in the background like a messenger app? or push email?

I reas that android revolution hd is really good! I'm working on rooting my phone (having problems, I'm a newbie) them that is going to be my choice. I saw that everybody talks very well about it

Figured out it was largely the camera app that kept waking my phone, also I use delayed lock which drains it a lot as well

Best ROM for battery saving?

Dear friends,
I have had some problems with my battery, as you can check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697584
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659525
I don't know if I have been spoiled by Nokia, because I had a Nokia E72 with a tiny screen a 1500Ah battery (Two days connected with EDGE/Wifi updating Whatsapp and Gravity).
I just need Whatsapp and any Twitter application running al the time.. 3G or HSPDA is not a must, I could live with EDGE for battery saving.
I have tried:
Stock 2.3 ROM
Oxygen COS'ed
CM7 RC1
Minwild 4.9 CM
I don't care about fancy widgets and so... I just want battery life... sometimes I use the screen with 10% brightness!
Please, help me! Help will be highly appreciated.
PD: Moto RZR MAXX is too expensive
PD2: I'm using lastest radio and have not messed with Kernels, always using the one that comes with each ROM.
PD3: Testing is so easy, I wonder if someone have done that before? Install ROM, install whatsapp and twitter, config, fully charge, see it discharge and take the time and try with another ROM, right know I don't have the time, but that's what I want to do...!
Bets regards.

Far as I know those roms aren't exactly power hungry.
ManU kernel is recognized for batter saving.
You can use with MildWild CM version.
For oxygen I think you have to use thalamus kernel.
I'm using Oxygen V4 MildWild with latest thalamus kernel and with normal use (wifi once in a while but usually switched off, some browsing, some phone calls, some texts and even a little game once in a while) it lasts me a full day. If I play too much, the battery can last as three hours (with bat, intensive games).

Which ROM uses ManU kernel? I'd like to try that one.
Right now I'm using Oxygen Cosed with Thalamus (I think)

I dont think there is a rom that uses ManU kernel by default. But as long as a rom is based on CM7 I believe you can replace the default one with ManU.

Not entirely true. Oxygen rom and those that use it as base need to use Thalamus kernel. Using ManU on Oxygen roms for example will break your camera.

Thanks for your answer.
What do you mean by breaking the camera? I suppose only software...!
Thanks for letting me know that, I was going to flash ManU kernell with Oxygen Cosed! So I'll flash it over MinWildCM.
There is a lot of reading about roms but not about kernels!

The best rom for battery, performance and stability is none other than GINGER VILLAIN. If you look at the screenshot most of juice is gone into display as I like 100% display. I am sure you can save further battery with switching off wifi, mobile data, gps, vibrations, display etc. But this rom is pretty much beating other rooms. Only problem people find is there are no future updates for this rom. If you looking for above all then go for this rom.
Hit thanks if it helps you.
Cheers

When you realize it is mostly a kernel thing, silliness off "best rom for battery" phrases will struck you like an epiphany.

I gave my old desire to my brother because the battery was dying , before I do so, I flashed MUIU rom, it seems fine when he is using it

OxygenMod worked well for me well.

And that would be about 50% correct. The rom does play an important role on battery consuption.

I know you asked about ROMs, but if you dont mind a thicker phone you could also consider an extended battery. I'm using a Cameron Sino 2400MAH battery, cost me £7 from Amazon UK and I get between 30 - 38 hours out of my Desire, depending on use. That's with ICS for Desire by Sandvold installed.
I cant post links yet but take a look at batteryboss.org and it mentions it as being "not a bad deal".

ICS works fine for me
I use the BCM - Ice Cream Sandwich from CM9 Source and it works fine for me. Been up for almost 16 hours with decent usage and pretty poor cell signal the whole time.

The lowest battery drain I've had was using Mildwild's Oxygen Based. Nearly 2 days of battery with pretty decent usage. See the attachments below: you might found them a bit dark cause they were made with screen filter at 50%.
- During night, phone had 2G (GPRS).
- Screen on-time: 3 hours, above 50% usage.
- Always with WiFi or HDSPA (3G) excepts during nights.
With battery perfectly calibrated (it shutdowns at 0%).

I'm using CM 10 (a6), and have been using the stock kernel till yesterday.
Yesterday I flashed the faux123 6u kernel and so far i'm very impressed with it. Average use so far, browsing the web for 15min, reading a few articles through flipboard and replying to some texts, connected to wifi at home for 1 hr, 3g for the 40min trip to work and then wifi at work again.
so in the last 3 hrs i've used 15% battery.

I don't know if I have a godly Htc One X or I'm doing something differently, but I have mobile data on all day, WiFi on all day, listen to music/browse web etc etc on the stock ROM with the Stock Kernal and I NEVER use that much battery.
All day doing this and on average I still have a big enough battery bar to keep it green, I RARELY yellow,red battery bar.
What is so good with my battery?

Guess i have to check how to repack the kernels.
Had a stock kernel but replaced it with something i got from the link.
Thinking of going back to stock sense rom, since i flashed the cm10 and kernel my battery drops like heck.. im lucky if i get a 5hour screen time. Im like always charging. Like i have a landline. Can some1 hook me up with a nice custom rom and kernel that saves batt like or close to the stock sense rom? Thanks guys

battery drain issue
Battery only lasts 7hrs help !
I flashed CM10 endeavoru unleashed over the weekend (most recent build) with its stock kernel (3.5.7 tripndroid) and my battery is horrendous.
I played 10 mins of angry birds, sent 1 or 2 emails, no wifi, gps on, 10 min of calls and its died in 7 hrs.
Im not a droid noob buts its my first custom rom on the htc one x tegra 3 (and first ever flash without soff for that matter), however I cant seem to flash a different kernel without getting a boot loop (followed many guids to the letter). I can rectify bricked phones etc but cant find a stable fully functioning rom.
2 things then
1 Need advice on clearing the battery issue - better kernel ? things to look for ?
2 Why do I keep getting boot loops after flashing known working kernels (bone question but need advice).

Best Custom ROM for my nexus 5x !!

I am using stock Rom with elementalx kernel. Still facing lag and poor performance.
Please suggest me which Rom with which kernel should i flash in my Nexus 5x to get good performance and battery life enhancement.

I am using PureNexus with 0 issues and go all day on battery. I only play one game so I cannot say it will work for you as I only check in on it every now and then. ElementalX is great! Favorite kernel atm. I would say back up, I use Helium for text, call logs, and the like and flash a couple and try some out.

Thanku so much . i have heard that franco kernel is better for battery performance ? Is that true ? And can i use xposed on pure nexus as well ?

I am using xposed and i haven't tried Franco's kernel yet. Try it out. Just a flash away.

I like ubermallow + phasma kernel, great battery and some nice features so I don't have to install xposed (I've always thought it's just a bit sketchy), or if you don't want more features, uberstock, which is just a more optimized version of android

I believe what he meant was the percentage drops by 2% each time instead of 1%. So instead of showing 99% of it goes right to 98%.

4th battery drain

This is on cm13.

Still no help?
Just updated to latest nightly and it is the same.
Anyways what is your standby time?

CM13 is buggy (like all CM's) - use stock MM, any version, great battery life!

I was on marshmallow (updated right after I got the phone) and the battery was terrible. It's like 2% per h and sot was also bad I could get only 2.5 h. The battery drainer was Android system and sometimes kernel.
And another battery drain.

What about you turning off syncing? You can't expect a good battery life with sycing on

i know you get less on MM but you can tweak it.. maybe its rom issue.. i remeber when i used CM i have a drain. but my phone would not go to deep sleep.. also back then
RILJ was draining it.. i think you should try another CM rom or stock.

Now I'm on AICP and it's the same gonna try rr now and then stock.

Again, on RR

Im now stock and same happened. Im even on genysys or something rom and i got a custom simplegx kernel, but nooo it drain again.

No matter what rom or kernel I use, my battery just doesn't love me.
Latest cm and tried every custom kernel and 2 of them for stock.

Why most G4 power users that i saw have a great bl on cm and on stock rom?
This probably isn't a rom issue or maybe its not a kernel issue.
And how did i make it in Greece? Im on 2G now!
Is there any secret behind this, its annoying me like every time i see it...

Check your apps. Sometimes bad apps can really screw you. I'm on stock V20H and I get 4h-5h SoT with no drains. V20G was also really good. The old V20D had battery issues and run like crap but the newest are smooth as silk. A rogue app may be the culprit. Check your sync settings and disable any syncs you don't really need. Clearing the app cache can also help sometimes.
