Currently I am on HO!NO!'s Full Throttle V9 (CM9 base) with a slight undervolt, an OC at 1.78Ghz, brightness on lowest, and LTE off. There is not a huge difference in battery life between HSPA+ and EDGE. The idle battery drain is about ~1%/hour which is pretty fair.
I've heard some people say they've gotten very good results on CM10.1 with Wind Kernel and I was was hoping that people could share what their setup is as far as achieving the battery life I've read about in some ROM threads. I feel outdated rocking CM9, when CM10.1 has alot of nice features I'd like to get in on.
imo the rom in my sig, but i haven't tested every one
for battery?
ICS: Liquid Nitro and HO!NO!'s v20f are probably the best, then HO!NO! CM9.
JB: I have no idea! Right now I'm running CM10.1M2+Wind, but it still drains too fast when in use, especially while using data/wifi, but it's getting better with incremental versions. I didn't have much luck with the CM10 variants I tried, but I might go back and try Quattrimus again.
Looks like my suspicions are confirmed so far, that no JB ROM can touch ICS as far as battery life goes. I have no clue why this is, although I know that 4.2.2 is much better than 4.1. However, as big of an improvement as 4.2.2 is over 4.1, it still doesn't come close to ICS battery life.

Screen off I can get 4.2.2 sleeping like a baby.
It's when the screen is on and data is being transferred that it becomes a bit of a hog.
Even so, I can usually get through a day of use without charging.

So I am thinking that JB Roms are still in development and won't have good battery. Is there any good battery roms on ICS?
Also are there any gingerbread roms?
You would be thinking right seeing as jb just came out. Just search and see what people are commenting on, battery wise
DO YOU JELLY?
Can i have a ICS rom and a JB rom running on Boot Manager or do they have to be the same?
I also want to know the answer to this question.
There is no best battery ROM. each ROM behave differently. they will give good battery for some, and bad for others.
what do you reccomend?
It's really less about the ROM, and more about the kernel you use...whether you undervolt or underclock or not, how you set up your apps, and how you use your phone. I'm using mROM at the moment, with Franco's kernel, undervolted. I just swapped kernels today, so I can't speak to the battery life just yet.

+1 on the kernel being important for battery life.
I chose AOKP for its high customization. Lots of ROMs are as smooth, or even maybe a little smoother than AOKP, but many are just way too bare bones for me. I find AOKP to be the best package for my style, allows for nav bar control, notification control and toggles for phone features in the notication tray and many many more things. Plus, on the market there are many AOKP theme apps like Kiwi Cobalt or Purple Kush that make your phone look saaaa-weeeeeet.
And I always run Trinity kernels on my Nexus for battery life. Not sure why, but they seem to give my phone the best life. I haven't had luck with franco or other kernels in that aspect. But every phone and setup is different.
The combo I am running is the best I have found for a perfect balance between great speed and really good battery life on my phone.
Just remember to do backups. :good: The most important thing I can recommend, especially if new to flashing/custom-ing like myself.

I have NEVER tried this Rom.
But the Redemption Rom is supposed to be fast and have amazing battery life.
The catch is ZERO features. Just Stock. But that is why it's so fast apparently and have amazing battery.
Maybe u get to the Softkeys bar, I dunno.
Jellybean ROMs are smashing ICS in terms of battery life on the Nexus, and I think it may be a result of better RAM management. If you're just not ready to take the plunge on JB (source based ROMs are out now btw), and want a mix of customization, and battery life, CM9 may be the way to go. As for Gingerbread... hmmm... I doubt there are any ROMs available for the Nexus, and it sounds like a harsh, Benjamin Button type thing to do to such a great phone, lol.

Here's my take on what really effects battery life:
As long as you have a ROM that doesn't malfunction and keep the phone active when it shouldn't be, all ROMs should get around the same battery life. If they don't, it's probably because you don't know about the difference in their settings - one might simply be using a more aggressive CPU governor. Even if you have a ROM that does absolutely nothing as much as possible, you are the cause of battery drain. I've tried all sorts of ROMs, and in the end, I'm the one causing battery drain. Whether it be me being sloppy and accidentally allowing too many background settings for apps, or me using more battery intensive features, I'm the one draining the battery in the end. From my experience, Stock, Liquid ICS, CM9, AOKP, Jelly Bean, Jelly Bean AOSP, any kernel you want to try, the user has the most affect on the battery life. Try adjusting your habits to improve battery life. I'm a heavy, heavy user (Sometimes with unlimited amperage from a 2.1amp charger, my phone still will die while charging.) I'm also in the Army, and when I know I will be in the field without power for extended periods of time, I change how I interact with my phone. Maybe don't overclock, even underclock/undervolt, use a more strict governor, even disable a CPU core, change Android settings to not allow ANY background apps, always turn off 4G and syncing, of course turn off BT and WiFi when not needed. I change from a user who can barely make it through the day to a user that can make it almost two. If you want something to give you better battery life without changing your habits, go buy a bigger battery or a newer phone.
Trinity 307 kernel all the way!!! Add in its conservative governor option and your conserving a lot of battery. Not to mention the kernel runs at a very low temp so your device will last well beyond the end of your 2yr contract plus it comes with a stock color mod thing that makes your gnex look amazing IMO.
I would post this on the actual topic, but it won't let me. Apparently I'm too new.
Anyway, I'm running GedeROM right now, and looking to upgrade to the latest Jelly Bean ROM. Link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765288
So what's the battery life like on the JB ROM? It's over clocked to 1.2Ghz which I assume would hurt the battery life a bit. Is it at least as good as the stock?
What kind of battery life for e-reading with the wifi on/off?
The battery life is not as good as the stock or even ICS [in my opinion]. But, the loss in battery life is not significant enough to stop you from migrating to JB.
unfortunately, i can't give you any numbers, but from personal experience ill tell you: go for jb. it is just awesome how they improved the handling/smoothness. i did not expect this to work that well on a "low-end" device like the kindle fire, but it surely does.

Thats interesting, I never thought about it using more battery life, thanks!
Better than ICS here. Three day standby so far.
I've tried CM9 and CM10 roms, but the idle for all of them is much worse than stock Kindle rom. I'm using Modaco custom Kindle rom, which is just as good (if not better) battery than pure stock, but I'm wondering if there's a non-Kindle looking rom (ICS or JB) that doesn't have poor battery life.
Thanks!
Nope... use cm7 it has excellent battery life ics and jelly bean will probably always suck like pigs when it comes to battery life..

That's a shame. Do you know why? Kernel issue I'm guessing?
My Galaxy Nexus is getting great battery with a custom kernel (Franco's), so it seems like other devices should be able to get good life with the right kernel. I wonder what's causing so much idle battery drain on the ICS/JB kernels.
Thanks for the info though! I might stick with Modaco since it opens up the market yet retains the good battery life.
May anyone suggest which Rom is best for battery life and also reduce the heat of the phone
Like P936 much except the heat and hope can have idea which rom can have long battery
Thanks in advance for the answer

Out of CM9 stable, HO!NO!'s full throttle, CM10, and the official ICS (stock and HO!NO's rooted) I have personally noticed that the CM10 nightlies blow everything else completely away as far as battery life goes. For me, there is no competition. As far as the heat goes, I don't really know about that one; I've never really had a problem with over-heating since I began using ROMs other than stock; my phone would get extremely hot under pretty light use with stock ROMs.
Just try cm10
Total Agree it is the best for battery life and heat handle at this moment
CM10 - the best so far!
And that is so true... There is no comparison of CM10 to any other rom in terms of Battery life and thermal state ... I cant say its 100% stable ... buts its almost there... almost! the only problem i faced is that SleepOfDeath ...

Latest v20c!
Is battery life in cm10 good now? When I tried it a few weeks ago it was terrible.
---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------
Doh, fooled by the necro.
I would say stock ICS. I was on CM10 for the past few months with countless BSODs and HUGE battery drain (over 50% drain overnight). On stock the phone is very smooth and the battery on standby is fantastic. And the auto brightness works. Too bad LG home launcher looks really cheesy.

i think debloated v20c is the most stable ROM with good battery life
I have found that out of all the ROM's Ive tried, even the latest JB ones, that the ones with the best battery life and stability were Blazer and Calks 3.0. Those of which are on Gingerbread. So, am I the only one that thinks or agrees to this? I might not be "up to date" but my performance is damn good! =)
must be
What little extra battery life I'm not getting on FK23 & FL16 compared to GB is not worth all the extra goodies I would have to live without. For me GB is boring and the tradeoff is more than worth it.
Have you tried both the TW JB and the AOSP JB roms?

Haha, you're not the only one. After DD'ing Jellybean leaks for the past 25 days, I flashed back to my Calkulin nandroid backup for its awesome battery life. . I got the best Jellybean battery life on fl16 (3 hrs 45 mins) but it can't compare to the ~6 hrs on calkulin. I'm just gonna wait now for the ota Jellybean + source before I try it again.

Probably not the 'only' one. But in these parts XDA Developers you will certainly be in the minority.
By it's very nature these forums are for those looking for the latest greatest and bleeding edge technologies and tweaks.
The latest JB builds are awesome. Good battery, hotspot working natively (so far). Stable. Google Now natively. More responsiveness. Nicer looking and more customizable. I get about 14+ hours with fairyly heavy usage - my cell is my phone for work and home.
Yes these forums do provide some great stuff for the 'regular joe' but that's not what the forums are here for. We try to work together to get the most out of the devices as possible. That usually means functionalily and features 1st, performance 2nd and battery 3rd. I do know that there are some devs who may change those orders but that is usually the case.
I have always been amused by the 'how long does your battery last' crowd. While I think any phone should last at least a day with a good battery and reasonable usage I think it's silly to 'demand' more. It's 2012 get another battery (or external battery for emergencies) for backup, grab more chargers - I have one in all cars, home office work office and laptop bags.
Just my two cents.
Have you tried replacing your battery ? I just bought 2 new ones from Anker and my phone is getting better battery life and I'm running FL16 JB. I am delighted with the purchase and wish I had done it sooner. Here's link and read up on them as well.
Anker battery for D710
Good luck
Personally I use CM10 on my phone, but on my mate's phone, it's running Blazer's 4.1 GB sheerly because of the WiMax speeds. If I didn't love flashing the latest and greatest, I would've stuck with GB too.
From my experience, nothing beats calkulin's 2.8.1. I wanted to like more current roms, but even with underclocking, ics and jb chug the battery. People can ask or claim that your battery is bad. If the battery is bad then why can I get about double the battery life out of calkulin when compared to more recent roms? Same battery, twice the run time, practically no lag or noticeable performance hit. I was halfway through my second extended life battery during a normal shift at work with ics and jb when going home when I'd be around 20% with calkulin gb on the first battery. I'm not saying everyone else is wrong in their preferences, but to me, battery efficiency without noticeable CPU hit means everything. Other builds seem sluggish and battery hogs to me. Don't get me wrong, there's some cool features with new builds but the trade off of battery isn't worth it to me. It's a damned shame calkulin moved onto other pastures. He definitely knew his $hit when it came to tweaking rooms and I like his choices he took in his earlier builds with this phone.
I think if calkulin and bugless beast Pete got together, their rom would be damned near bulletproof. Peter Alfonzo.
Pacman ROM has amazing battery life for being JB. Plenty of customization tweaks as well, I used to only rock blazer 4.1 as well but some of my apps got updated and now require to be on ICS or JB based ROM.
