When you flash to a ROM that has less battery life and flash back to the stock ROM do you retain the original battery life or is it decreased by a percentage overall

I'm not sure what exactly the question means, but if you are at 60% on... say, AOKP, then flash TouchWiz, you should be at 60% minus whatever it took to flash the new ROM. As far as how long the battery will last; there are too many things to take into account to give a definite answer whether your battery life on one ROM will be the same as on another.
Thanks

It seems as if my battery is dying faster since I flashed back to the stock ROM than it did prior to flashing another ROM
Your battery doesn't change when you flash ROMs. You will have higher battery drain on a stock ROM, compared to say a ROM like SlimBean. Another factor is what features you have enabled on the stock TW ROM like gestures and smart stay etc.
But more to your question, flashing ROMs does not change your battery. Your battery is your battery, that's it.
ROM/Kernel/usage among other variables are what effect battery life.
thanks

I have a custom ROM install on my GS3 but my battery is kind of ****. I have juice defender installed with the aggressive setting but I still find my battery dies fast. So basically I would like to know if the battery is better on stock vs a custom ROM.

What ROM are you currently running? You'll definitely get better battery life out of a stock based ROM with a custom kernel, than an AOSP ROM like CM 10.1 or AOKP currently. As both those being 4.2 based still have bugs to be worked out. As always though YMMV with ANY ROM. Try out Better Battery Stats off the Play store and see if you are getting some weird kernel wakelocks. CPU Spy is another good free alternative.
Hi guys!
I've been playing around with my GNex (GSM, stock 1750mAh battery) since last july and my biggest concern is (still) the battery life.
I've noticed that the couple stock rom + stock kernel (the ones the phone come with) is much better than any other custom rom+kernel.
Here comes my (maybe stupid) question: is the battery life somewhat related to the (de)odexed status of the rom?
I mean, I've been looking for all kinds of solutions to take advantage of those features offered by AOKP or PA without suffering from BL issues, but I find silly to sacrifice stability/smoothness/responsiveness/always-on-connection/brightness/whatsoever to gain not that many mins of juice. And I really wonder what is the sourcery Google adopts to make its roms so stable, responsive and battery friendly (e.g. no custom rom/kernel can achieve as much BL as the stock ones). Put differently, with the stock rom/kernel, I can leave 3G always on, auto-sync always on, haptic feedbacks on, location services always on (but GPS) and the battery survives for more than 24h; while, with custom roms/kernels, I could switch everything in the list off and still the battery wouldn't last that long (ceteris paribus).
Could you, please, explain me how it works?
Is there really no way to improve BL other than those listed above?
And, finally, does odexing the system apps (on custom roms) do the trick?
Cheers!
P.s.: the answers I'm looking for may already be in other threads.
If so, I apologize, but I tried googling different keywords many times, and got no interesting results.
For me the biggest source of battery drain is the screen by far. Maybe you enjoy custom ROMs more than the stock one and you keep the screen on more I would think that a custom ROM would be more battery friendly. Which ROMs have you tried?

Thats strange, to me battery life is better with custom ROMs and kernels

Lol, maybe you're right!
Until now, I tried AOKP and PA roms and franco, AirKernel, GlaDOS and stock kernels (all possible combinations). I found that PA and GlaDOS are the best custom couple, but still not comparable with the factory ones.
However, even tough I have no technical numbers, the usage on custom stuff had been more or less the same as on stock things (although I became a pie-control addict). And what I know for sure, the BL gap is mostly due to screen (i.e. by staring at the launcher home screen for 5 minutes, the battery drains faster with custom roms than with stock roms - still, ceteris paribus).

I know that's strange. Things used to work as you say with my HTC Desire. But since I've switched to the Nexus S (and then to the GNex), I strongly preferred stock stuff just because of battery life
Sent from my stockish Galaxy Nexus using xda app
I bought my Galaxy W and instantly started modding it, currently I'm on Arco's CyanogenMod 9 EOL, I didn't have much experience with the stock ROM you actually get with the phone, Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread with TouchWiz 4 UX.
My question is, is the stock ROM the most stable ROM with the best battery life you can get?
I would like to have some basic info like how smooth it is, the battery life, usability compared to the later CyanogenMod ROMs. I'd like to know whether its actually the best option except being kind of out of date now.
Thank you in advance :good:

Actually my battery life and gaming performance is way and way better at custom roms. Im flashed stock rom around 10+ times and after a half day im installed a custom rom

From what I know the stock rom is better at keeping the battery use low during standby but i don't know whether that's true

I think that's true..
cause some Custom ROM come with some tweaks, some can keep the processor running low during standby. some also have some kind of better ram management.
Also if you want, you also can try some other kernel. cause some can even make longer battery life
switched for a tweaked stock 2.3.6 to a custom ICS and never looked back, the performance is just much better
I would say that my battery lasts longer with a custom rom. On stock sometimes it suddenly went off.
Currently I'm fine with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2214042. And the camera isn't green.
For those that have tried AOSP based ROMs and kernels for Note 3, how has the battery life compared to TW ROMs? I know "Android System" probably doesn't use 25% of battery as is the case for TW Roms usually. Whether the battery usage % lines up for not, it doesn't really matter as I don't really have an issue with battery life on TW ROMs, I'm just curious.

I believe that a stock AOSP kernel help to improve the battery a lot more... or compulsion 12 for the note 3 touchwiz

I have used both AOSP and touchwiz and for the most part, the touchwiz roms have SLIGHTLY better battery life. Starting out, AOSP was dreadful in battery drain but the latest builds in various roms in combination with the latest versions of certain kernels (temesek,lean,etc) have brought the battery lives much closer. They both have the potential to sleep like babies, and you can get great varying battery lives.
Just got a second hand HOX in great condition & upgraded to 4.2.2. Very nice but battery life could be better - is battery life generally better on custom ROMs or am I better off staying on stock?
Many things can be used to increase battery life
A good kernel will deactivate some core of the Tegra3 for example so you can start with that
Are there any non-root apps which can control cpu usage? Thinking root is probably the only way...
