The title say all !
I really love the stock look of my GS3 (t-999V) but I need a ROM with good battery life and couple of improvements tweaks. No themes at all ! Looking for smooth and stable daily use !
Which ROM y ou advise me ?
Thank you

Frosty jb I think. Only thing that is themed is pull down bar and even then slightly.

FrostyJB's battery life is wayy better than stock, you'll notice it right away...and after like 2 or 3 full charging cycles you'll have even better battery life.

I'm looking for a stock Rom that doesn't have touchwiz skinning....does something like that even exist or do I have to stick with CM10. I really want the Samsung camera app and better battery life.

If you want Samsung Cam then you're stuck with Touchwiz. Just use a different launcher
So in thinking of gong back to ICS 4.0 just because it had incredible battery life. I'm currently on CM 10.1 and don't get great battery life.
I don't need performance as much add I do battery. Are there any real reasons I shouldn't go back, i.e. bugs, exploits, etc?

Jellybean features that I use (Not sure how many can be ported over using just Gapps):
1. Expandable notifications
2. Lockscreen widgets
3. Photosphere
4. Google Now
5. Resizeable widgets
It maybe really a matter of preference if you don't use any of these.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I doubt your battery life will still be that great. You also have to consider the battery likely has decreased max capacity due to discharge cycles.
The new power saving patches in kernels such as Faux123's really improved my battery life on 4.2. Also disabling Google Now can help immensely if you haven't already done it.

try using AK, link is in my sig, i get great battery lfie with it.. but the thing is all devices are different so whats good for me wont necessarily be good for others, thats why you should try different kernels, different settings, etc...
If after trying everything your battery doesnt get better than go back to 4.1.2(dont go to ICS lol) and wait for 4.2.2., you kight be pne of those unlucky users who are gettings horrible results with 4.2.1
PS- btw this thread should be in the Q&A section and not in the general section :good:

One thing that I like on ICS is the easter egg and and the name!
Doesn't ICS have the butter vsync thing like JB has?..
What great battery life ? There seems to be a myth that older versions were so miraculously awesome in battery life.

I think it's just the fact that all users had brand new batteries on ICS. A year of charging cycles really decreases battery capacity. At least by 5 to 10%.
the best battery life i have ever had on the gnex was with cm 10.0.0...btw, i did not recognize any reduction of battery on the way from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2, if i think about it...but must admit also, that i never updated to 4.2.x, so i cannot say anything about that.
anyway, cm 10.0.0, no kernel changement -> amazing for me!

Agreed with this guy. Also, I don't recall it being mentioned in this thread (unless I missed it), but with JB you also get voice to text working offline. You can also download parts of Google Maps and use them without data (useful if going somewhere with no reception and you need to use GPS).

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?

Hey guys, I have a terrible problem here. The problem is that I got tired of Sense and I love stock android 4.2 and I just cannot use roms built on that android version because the battery drain is humongous. Using my phone just to check twitter and facebook and it goes down in 3 hours. I tried Cyannogen Mod and I'm now on Icecoldjelly both with Xm kernel and it is always the same. This is terribly annoying because the roms are perfect and so is the phone, except for that battery. Does anybody recommend I do something, are there some mods/tweaks to increase battery life? Is I cleared battery stats and performed more than 3 charge cycles, in case you ask. Thank you, hope you can help me

haha! and I thought I was the only one... I see people who are getting 15-18 hours on ICJ...
I also get terribly low battery backup... even though battery is calibrated.. Sync off... Auto Brightness.. etc etc...
However, on sense roms I get great battery!

I would suggest a faulty battery, I use mine for twit and fb too and a whole load of other stuff but i get a lot more than 3 hours. I am on slimbean 4.2 now but I have tried cyanogen 10.1 and icj, both of which gave me similar battery life to slim, although neither of them could equal slimbean they were not as bad as you are experiencing

The reply wasn't intended to get you to try slim, only to show that not all 4.2 roms are as heavy on battery. there are plenty of others to try, I just prefer slim
I get around this much:

I'd say thats about normal, but the op's 3 hours is seriously wrong. I would have to use navigation, music, facebook, twitter and XDA all at the same time to run my battery down that fast
With minimal usage I got around 5/6 hours. I'm going to try other roms and settings to see if I get this right. I'm currently on slim. I'll see how it performs tomorrow. If it goes bad then wth, I'll just go back to a Sense rom
Disable auto sync/fb location... use trickster mod and set governor to smartmax and IO scheduler to row/sio...
Cap the max frequency to 1.2 GHz... Use greenify to hibernate apps which you don;t need..
There is absolutely no lag for me... When I want to play some games I just switch to interactive or gaming governor!
Thanks everybody, I found my daily driver, today I got 13 hours with regular usage and still 25% to go, slimbean is the best. Even if it was not a recommendation to test the rom, it helped a lot

AOSP isn't as good as stock for battery life (a shame, but fair enough) - but how good have you guys managed to get it? What kernels, roms and tweaks are you running and what do you get as a result?
As a baseline I get about 4 hours screen on time with CM 10.1 as-is (no kernel changes or anything like that).

I've been getting about 16-18 hours with roughly 4 and a half hours of screen on time with slim ROM and redpill kernel
SentinelROM has been getting very good results in terms of battery life. Some guy got 7hrs screen on, and I got 6hrs with a little battery left over.
Beats me why people would want to flash a ROM with less features and less battery life..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Maybe because Touchwiz is laggy and ugly?
Anyway, the problem isn't the screen on time, but the total battery life. In standby, Note 2 with AOSP roms seems to have some processes on that totally eat the battery.
In my case, i switched back to Touchwiz. I've definitely want a 2-day battery life, and with AOSP is still not possible, unless you don't use the phone.

I would agree with that comment back then with the galaxy s1, tw was really laggy.
But this day and age, the lag difference between tw and asop is minimal.

Totally agree. Just get in the Phone app or the contacts or SMS app and then compare it to aosp. Beside its far more polished and responsive. And you also have 4.2.2 waaaay before Sammy decides to release it!

Because on 4.2.2 I can use dashclock on my touchscreen, I can have easily accessible quicksettings which don't take up space in my notification drawer, I can turn off the backlight for the hardware buttons and have a navbar with far more functionality, with paranoid android I can have the navbar and status bar change colour to match the app (which will also reduce status bar burn in), with rootbox/aokp I can have the status bar hide away until I either swipe it down myself or get a notification, and my phone still lasts me an entire day of my usage. I don't lose any features I didn't use in the first place, so it'd be silly not to be on AOSP in my case.
