The most battery friendly rom - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm looking for the most battery friendly rom for long trips when I'm only listening to music, I don't care about anything else. Any recommendations? Even such hint as is it gb, ics or jb rom would be helpful

No such thing as a battery friendly rom. You either sacrifice performance or save battery life.

Yeah ik although there might be difference between gb ics and jb, don't you think?

gb has the best battery life.

I would probably use the cola ROM or any other striped down GB ROM and get a good kernel too idk what to recommend though since as soon as I got BL unlocked I left gingerbread...and set the performance to battery save or conservative and the brightness low and you should be set... I remember when on stock I could get like 3 days on one charge man that was awesome

Use GB Rom NXT LE 1.3 with LuPus GB Kernel
Using No-frills CPU
set governor powersave
set min freq 249mhz
Open Battery Calibration app, charge your phone until 100% and click Battery Calibration Button
Turn Off Wifi
Set only to 2G if possible
With this setting standard battery can last for more than 24 hours (and my battery almost 2 years old)

I just wanted the rom as I know which kernel to use and what settings to set
Do you think that gb with max 500 MHz would be more battery friendly than jb max 134 MHz?

Sounds like iT will but GB would be more responsive at 134 then JB right?? Because of the lack of features

From what I can tell nope. Performance at PAC Jb +turbo Kernel is epic so I can use phone even at 134 mhz

(Q)Over-Clocking and Under-Volting

havent tried Ocing in my arc,im curious is it really a big difference
from 1ghz Ocing to 1.4 or higher?and the only way to O/C is to unlocked bootloader and use different kernel?is there a stable and safe frequency?tested in a daily usage..
Well, I'm currently running at 806Mhz, I was previously at 1.2Ghz and to be honest, I don't see any difference.

You may try to flash the DoomKernel on your device. It will give you rootaccess, the possibility to over and underclock. But first you need to unlock your bootloader.
I overclocked my Arc to 1,9ghz Max running for days without any problems. I dont recommend much higher or it will run stuck and you may damage your device.
Only overclock your device when you have a good feeling about it
so does that mean i can't over clock to let's say 1.4 GHz and let it be like that for daily use ? either with DoomLord ROM or CM7 ROM..

You can overclock, but ARE YOU REALLY need 1,8Ghz??? All day.
Stock you had 1Ghz and its already fast.
When you doing some grazy OC lets say 1.9ghz your device may be unstable after that.
Most people using 1,2 or 1,4ghz because its stable and not draining battery a lot.
I use 800-900mhz and very happy.
Whay we always talking overclocking, but not "downclocking"
Edit: doomlord kernel max is 2.0Ghz but dont forget about stock is 1ghz....so 2 times faster BUT not all devices are stable with this insane speed.
CM7 and FXP kernel max 1,6Ghz and its rock solid stable all day and night.

From what I've experienced,
If u set the OC in min 1GHz and max 1.8GHz like what I've done, you will notice that ur phone is going smoother.
Well, this is my opinion..

Minimum 1Ghz....wtf? its draining your battery with light speeds.
I think 245Mhz is good

@tyrand3
how much Ghz have you been using?
you using it daily?is it really a big difference?
I overclocked mine to 1.4GHz and use it as daily setup, works smoother and faster.
Min/max 122/1401MHz

I think the sega or rush kernels have this also. Wouldn't recommend it, to be honest. The difference between 1.6 and 2.0 is almost unnoticeable performance-wise but your battery life will suffer.
Thanks man

Overclocking to that frequency is close to deadly for our phones. Better just sell your phone, you get money, instead of just a brick.

Battery Life in Jellybean

Anyone care to share?
Running slimbean, and getting horrible life compared to ICS and jellybean (no deep sleep?)
Sent from my Xperia Play using xda premium
I've tried KXP and P.A.C.Man. Both really awesome ROMs, but same as you, battery life just isn't where I need it to be.
Honestly, the best ROM with balanced battery life and performance for me has been PaxChristos's plain old CM9 ROM with Keiran's Darkforest CM9 kernel.
I use P.A.C man and I need to charge the phone every 48h.

Ehhhh my battery could be a tinsy bit better but I'm happy with the battery life with brightness at 48%

Battery life in jellyzeus with turbokernel is quite good, but maybe is because aosp is the most featureless rom.

I have the same doubt, why should we do that?
Because some ROMs don't "understand" the stats of other ROMs so its just best to clear them after flash
sent from my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play™ Running Slimbean 3.0 using Tapatalk 2™
Using SlimBean,
Screen off, sleep (0% user usage) with wifi : 0.4% to 0.7% per hour.
Same stats as GB while using Darkforest, 0.5% to 0.7%/hour. (a year ago)

[Q] Getting another Xperia Play :)

Just purchased another xperia play, currently waiting for it to be delivered. Can anyone tell me the best kernel used with Gin2Jellybean rom based on your experience? Hoping to OC to around 1.4-1.6MHz, I have had a browse around the forum to see what I like but hoping for something stable/reliable for everyday use.
Thanks for any feedback.
Imo its lupus gb 12.5 but dont oc so much, its bad and doseny giv so mucy performqnxe in the long run,

Thanks Pizza_Dox, does this kernel also support usb fast charge? And what oc value do you recommend?
Cheers.
I dont think it supports that,
I recommend only 1.2 GHz max and 180 MHz min and the govenor on lulzactive for best performance/battery,

Best Kernel for Overclocking Galaxy Nexus

I'm thinking of flashing a different kernel to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus so I can overclock the CPU/GPU. I've noticed that franco.Kernel and Trinity seem to be among the most popular kernels, but I'm not sure which one to choose. In your opinion, what is the best kernel for overclocking and why? FWIW, I have the Verizon model of the phone (toro) and am currently running CyanongenMod 4.1.2, which is based off of Android 4.2.2.

Try It And See. TIAS.. GlaDOS kernel can overclock to 2.0 GHz.. The highest I ever saw. But my phone didn't like it. As for the rest you just have to try and see which kernel suits you best.

Antutu or CF bench are good apps.. And a warning: overclocking will decrease the life of your phone! Be careful! If you want to use your phone a little longer I wouldn't do it (I wouldn't anyway because I think this phone is very fast especially with Android 4.3)..

Hi,
I've decided to bump this thread because all other GNex OC threads are very dated.
I recently received the extended battery 200mah and I'm ready to overclock. I wish to retain battery life to have screen time 3-4 hour on moderate usage.
I'm current rooted on stock ROM, and I wish to simply stay with stock ROM provided battery life will remain the same (perhaps I have to undervolt)
I want to hit 1.5GHz CPU and 384MHz GPU...which is what the OMAP and PowerVR SoC's true default clocks.
Given my circumstances of stock ROM, which kernel would give me the best stability/battery life? Any kernel that somehow has OC settings built in or do they all require me to buy setCPU?

They all use setcpu or trickster mod. Regarding the kernel you just should try some out.

What type of OC are you running?
Do you actually notice it day to day usage? I cant think of any apps that could benefit from it besides gaming which I do very little of on mobile.
How has it affected your battery life?

I don't OC myself. I want my gnex to last some longer. OC will wear out tour CPU.. I die it once for a day maybe two but didn't notice any improvement. I was at 1.5 GHz or something.. I think it may have some speed improvements but your battery will drain like a maniac. If you don't game I suggest you underclock: even more battery life with no speed loss!!
