I had Baked android 4.2 ROM and I was getting fairly decent battery life. I went to try out kobridges GA10 ROM and it seems like I am getting less battery. Most people use touchwiz for the battery. Is the battery better on aosp because its 4.2?

Its different for everyone but I get better battery life on GA10 than any AOSP rom I have tried.

Same here. The battery life has been better on AOSP since 4.2 (still not better than TW though )
Seems to me that 4.2 gets better screen on time and TW gets way better sleep time.

I agree! I keep trying to decide which to go on. The touchwiz roms have some cool features and usually better battery life. But 4.2 is AWESOME! :laugh:

Are Touch Wiz based tablet Roms possible. I noticed that touch wiz Rom get superior battery life and have better Rom tweaks but, I love the Tablet interface. I just wish I could have the best of both worlds. Click thank you if you think this is a great idea.

I really love the tablet interface but currently the AOKP tablet Roms are battery hogs. If you are luckly you might get 8 to 10 of battery life but with the touch wiz Roms you will get 24 to 30 hours almost 3 times the battery life. What is the reason for the difference in battery life?

Maybe because we don't have source yet? I also thought AOSP roms are battery hogs when I was running cm7 on the fascinate and Touchwiz was unbearably slow on that phone until jt1134 and team hacksung started to building ICS from source then AOKP came then battery rivaled Touchwiz but with speed. It change how I saw AOSP ROMs. I'm just patiently waiting for that to happen on this phone and I have a feeling it will, with our amazing devs now, I just hope none of them jump ship to another phone before it happens

what are the differences between the touchwiz roms and aosp like cm9 and AOKP. Which one yield a better battery life and which is more stable?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Try them all for yourself and find out. There are things I like about tw based roms but there are more things I like about aokp. Battery life is about the same for me. Some say cm9 has the worst battery life though.
Is there a current ROM that is rock stable and offers good battery life? I don't mind if its JB or ICS but battery life is really important
Actually roms do not affect battery life, the responsable of battery dains is the kernel, in my experience I have tried only stock ics (rom and kernel) and battery life was decent, then I switched to miui with air kernel and with this kernel I have the best battery life for my use. You have to try different kernes and its setup because every user has different tasks to do with the phone.

Kernel is probably the cause of the battery drain, not ROM

try whichever you want:

as mentioned above
im very happy with franco's kernel ...you should try it...its stable and gives a great battery life
plus the all the cool options
IMO the best ROM isn't listed on this website. It is CodeNameAndroid. I know it is a ROM full of controversy and I don't care. It is by far the best one I have tried (I have tried almost every ROM), no others even come close. I am running it with the Trinity Kernel v35.
AOKP for ICS or ParanoidAndroid/CM10 for JB
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.

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!

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.
