I'm still on rooted stock rom and I'm really happy with battery life. I think its more to do with the kernel.... there's Perseus kernel which has undervolt features in the Original Android Dev forum which might be of interest to you... couple that with Rom cleaner and you're good .... good luck

Re: Kernel for BEST BATTERY LIFE on TW Rom?
Just matter of what works vest with our phone....lean kernel works best for me personally where as the others make my phone hot or drain it faster. Deviant works best for my friend whereean makes her phone hot....just try all the popular kernels for two full charges and see which gives better battery life.....and doesn't blow up your phone with the heat

agreed. i've found that lean or kor kernel works best for me.

:good:

Not sure why this was bumped but in case anyone is still following along, all kernels preform differently for all devices. Your best bet is to try them all. When I have a new device it may sound weird and all, I flash the kernel with the most thread views and try them in descending order. This way you are trying what appears to be giving most people the best results and if you don't like your results ,continue your venture.
For Touchwiz I prefer however kt747 simply because Team Kernelizer has some awesome files for undervolting. The other kernels are pretty swell too.

Unfortunately there is no definitive answer. Everyone has different experiences with different Kernels/roms. So the best thing you can do is flash and give it a shot. If you flash The People's Rom, Get 3 kernel choices. Ktoonz is usually the default because there are several tweaks you can make in there (See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38932752#post38932752 for info) Most achieve excellent battery life and stability. Again YMMV depending on how YOU use your phone. So give them a shot.. see what you think.

That's how it should be but in reality it's not. Sammy roms have much better battery life but then again that could just be because there are better power and memory management features on stock. It's the only reason I've been reverting back to stock since almost every other cm10.1 based roms have ridiculously weak battery life.

that's kinda weird because on mine the battery on stock sucks but on cm10.1 it lasts a lot more so i was thinking the same for note2

Not really. Battery life is awesome at is on stock. You could flash some kernel like Perseus and do some undervolting or even underclocking to
squeeze more battery out of it though.
Battery life, I've found it to be more or less the same, if not marginally better on stock.
@bushako - How's battery life on MIUI mate? Heard it drains battery more than other stock based ROMs?

So what is better i hear different story's haha

I actually ended up going back to stock based Rom. The battery life wasn't as bad as I had thought, it got me about 6hours screen time. Don't get me wrong MIUI really looks gorgeous but at the expense of performance, especially at this stage since there's quite a few bugs that needs ironing out and also because MIUI and xposed framework use the same setup they are incompatible and I'm use to lower DPI. I might get back with signs of improvements.
Also, I found that Perseus kernel is not compatible with aosp and that so far the one that does work is neak and redpill.

Lower dpi means better battery life or drain the battery?

Android revolution
Android revolution rom is stock rom but all the things which causes lag are removed and u still get amazing battery too...

If you need Wifi Calling, S3Rx is pretty much the only option for you. Unless you want something older.

Yes thata what I've been using looks like ill keep using this.
Any ktweaker tips if I do move to a custom kernel

My phone drains 0.2-0.3% per hour on the stock kernel (on wifi with a decent router). The TW custom kernels are not worth using, in my opinion. Now AOSP on the other hand... yikes. Pretty much have to use them.

I'm on project goosh with ktoonz kernel and battery is great. Again it's all about usage stuff like syncing should be off, apps updating every few hours should be off or prolonged just the little things.

You might want to take a look at your wake locks. If you are having that drain while the screen is off, it most likely a wake lock. Search the forums for better battery stats.

Your_rom by red is my favorite touchwiz rom. And it gives me the best battery for touchwiz. I use kinetic pulse kernel with it.

I'm running HyperDrive Rom and Ktoonsez Kernel. I have tweaked much of the cpu frequencies and used the ktoon governor. However, my battery life compared to the stock rom isn't that great.

Every phone is different so will run different on your phone. I do recommend Dandroid. It now has wifi calling. Complete based on T999. It used to be a port. It's super smooth with great battery life. And it's Cyanogenmod themed.

There are no "best" rom/kernel combinations for battery. It varies from phone to phone. You could try testing different TouchWiz roms and kernels, but remember to make a nandroid before doing so. Some roms you could try are wicked, stockorama, hyperdrive, etc. For the kernels you should use the stock kernel for stability or ktoonsez.
