Battery saving, stable Custom ROM for daily use - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Most battery saving, stable Custom ROM for daily use
Hello!
This is my first here, but i have been reading in this forum for quite a while and I'm pretty sure you experts here can help me.
In general I am really insterested in the whole android stuff, coding apps and trying new modifications.
But now i am looking for a stable Custom ROM, i can use in daily routine and where i dont have worry about crashes and that stuff. I want a stable one because i just dont have the time to flash another one every day or apply a patch..
Another thing is battery life, i have customized my stock rom to last for 1 and a half day, with moderate phone use. But I think with custom roms, the xperia s should be capable of doing more.
My Bootloader is unlocked and the rom should be ics or jelly bean. If there is a stable rom, with high battery life and an experimental JB, id choose the stable ICS.
So please guys what are your recommendations?
A BIg thank in advance

If you have Jelly Bean where did you got it?

CM10 from FXP. It's excellent. Look it up on the development forum and see if it's for you .
I doubt you'd get much more than a day and a half battery usage with any ROM though

Best custom rom for battery management

I was wondering which rom out of the many available - is best in terms of battery life?? I didn't really want to start a whole new thread .. but i am looking for those here who have flashed most of the custom desire roms on XDA, I need a rom that manages battery better then most.

I'm pretty sure that you are going to have lots of answers. Unfortunately, each one, talking about one rom or the other will tell you that its rom is better that others.
I'm running a ROM developped by a single developper (Itanium 1.8 today) and the battery life is pretty good. Undervolt mod is included, several optimizations have been made for battery usage, but again, I'm pretty sure Cyanogen and OpenDesire (these are examples, not the only ROMs working fine I guess) are good at saving baterry life...
So I would say it's hard to tell, and the best advice would be for you to test several of these and find the one which best suits your needs... You might end with a ROM which might give you less battery life, but which would looks better for you and for your usage (Sense based, without Sense...).
Hope this makes sense.

thanks for the info bro I hope others will also post a comment. Although, as you said - opinions will dither, it will still be good to get an overall opinion from many XDA desire users.

[Q] suggest the stable JB rom with most battery life for desire

searched the forum it has tremendous no. of roms i m getting confused.
which one should i select
must be a jellybean stable rom with highest battery life
thnx
Yes there are a lot of ROMs, but if you're going to go down this route, you should be willing try a few and find the right one for you
As for jellybean roms, you can look in the title if it has something like CM10 or 4.2.x in the title to find them. Or just click inside and read the first post to see what android base it uses.
As for 'highest battery life', that depends a lot on how you use the phone, and what you realistically expect. Someone suggesting here saying it has "amaaaazing batterrrrryyyyyyyy!" will likely use the phone differently than you, so is hardly useful. You need to try out a few ROMs and find which has better battery for your usage and setup, not someone else's....
If you want stability, Gingerbread ROMs are generally more stable than the Jellybean ones as well.

Well obviously a GB ROM is going to have better battery life than jb. With that being said I get about 3 hours of screen on time with WoH's PA ROM. Like eddie said, you should try a couple out and see which one works the best for you. We all use are phones differently so recommendations aren't really accurate.
Sent using xda-developers app
you could try pixeldroid's JB rom which has been ported to the desire

[Q] Looking for the most battery efficient ROM

Greets.
Pretty much as the title says. The last costum ROM I was running was CM9, since then I've been running stock because I am using it as a dev device primarily. Now I've got another one with a cracked touch so I'm using that one for dev purposes.
Lately tho my main one seems to be draining my battery way to fast - esspecially when mobile data is on (which is pretty much all the time). It used to go for a solid day or a day and a half with data on but now it dies in about 5-6 hours.
So I decided to go back to costum roms now that I don't need a clean device anymore. Which would you pps say that is the most battery efficient costum rom out there? CM, Paranoidandroid, any other? Or better yet which kernel is best in battery efficiency?
Cheers for the answers
Mod Edit
Best ROMS/kernels are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.

[Q] Stock 2.3.6 vs Custom ROMs

I bought my Galaxy W and instantly started modding it, currently I'm on Arco's CyanogenMod 9 EOL, I didn't have much experience with the stock ROM you actually get with the phone, Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread with TouchWiz 4 UX.
My question is, is the stock ROM the most stable ROM with the best battery life you can get?
I would like to have some basic info like how smooth it is, the battery life, usability compared to the later CyanogenMod ROMs. I'd like to know whether its actually the best option except being kind of out of date now.
Thank you in advance :good:

Actually my battery life and gaming performance is way and way better at custom roms. Im flashed stock rom around 10+ times and after a half day im installed a custom rom

From what I know the stock rom is better at keeping the battery use low during standby but i don't know whether that's true

I think that's true..
cause some Custom ROM come with some tweaks, some can keep the processor running low during standby. some also have some kind of better ram management.
Also if you want, you also can try some other kernel. cause some can even make longer battery life
switched for a tweaked stock 2.3.6 to a custom ICS and never looked back, the performance is just much better
I would say that my battery lasts longer with a custom rom. On stock sometimes it suddenly went off.
Currently I'm fine with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2214042. And the camera isn't green.

I need just custom rom where is......

I have using Samsung about year now. And wanted use custom rom, because there is no bloatware and what is important too, battery draining is better than stock.
But there is so many of them and even from same developer. Why? Why just do one and do it good. Now every rom have some issue and some rom battery draining fast.
What i want is good battery and phone can use daily usage. No need anything special settings to mod interface or hardware. These comes always issues with.
So members, tell what you want from your phone?
