Hi all, new to rooting. I rooted my Sprint GS3 running the Wicked Sensations Rom and love it so far,thanks to the team. However my battery life seems to have gone down hill big time. It was mentioned that maybe my kernel needed to be adjusted ( I have no clue when it comes to this, I'm still learning). My question is,how do I "adjust/tweak" my kernel,or is there a better one out there for me? Can someone please explain..Thanks..Phil

Do you happen to know what kernel you are running? If not go to system settings/general/about device and take a screen shot and post. I personally don't mess with kernel settings but this will give someone better knowledge to help you. Also from my understanding the 4.3 update is a battery sucking monster even @dazednconfused bought an extended battery because of the battery drain.

If you haven't made a kernel change then your running dkp kernel. You would maybe ask for suggestions in my thread on best setup or visit decimalman thread in the original development thread to see what others are doing. You could also experiment with other kernels until you find the right setup for your phone. All phones play different with kernels in my opinion so you just need to play around until you are satisfied.
Yeah its the dkp kernel. I've read a couple threads on kernels but none actually say they're great for..... ya know. I know nothing about kernels which is why I was hoping that one of you heavy hitters could say oh kernel??? Is perfect for this rom. Anyway..I'm gonna do a clean flash of WS Rom tomorrow (talked about in my other thread ) and maybe try a battery calibrator and see how it goes..but thanks to you guys..Phil

I wish I could tell you more about setting one up, but I'm probably the worst to ask. I'm so busy playing around with updates and stuff I never even mess with trying to set up. Lots of good people in the wicked thread willing to give suggestions.

my evo is stuck when u first turn it on it say htc evo 4g and it wont go nowere else!!help
More information is required.
nvm i fixed it! and can u tell me what is a good rom for my evo? cause i had the epic
The only ROM that I can recommend is MIUI. Every other ROM pales in comparison.
I would personally reccomend CM7...gingerbread...smooth and nice. A lot of people like MIUI...iphone look, but more features.
Its funny this thread started as a help me.... then turned into every other thread about which rom you prefer.....oldest trick in the book. Just kidding. Don't go all crazy on me.
I use cm7 wimax its pretty stable. A few bugs but its got 4g so I'm happy.
Sent from my WiMax infested cm7 Super...Mario...Saiyen...Street Fighter...oh yeah SuperSonic.gginggerbread!!!
Ava-Froyo. Any other one will just drain your battery by mid day.

It really doesn't look that much like iOS. Sure it bears a passing resemblance but believe me, it is all Android. No oreo for you.

I only say that cause there have been quite a few identical threads recently, identical to this, that are very easy to find. Also, that pic gave me teh lulz! Couldn't help it.
On a serious note though, all the roms seem to be pretty damn good in there own ways. I was on cm7 for a while and it was very stable for me. Just flashed cleanGB and samurai kernel the other day, and not only has it been rock solid, but my battery life has been outstanding! As always, though, YMMV. Try em all and see what you like best. Enjoy!

Hang out for a while. Read the threads on what the numerous roms contain. Find out what works for some and not for others. Some are geared for battery life, but you lose something in the process.
Try a few of them out. Look for qbking77's youtube tutorials on how to root/flash/theme/etc. Dont like a rom? Switch! It really is that easy.
Its like buying a new car. What would you like? There is no 'best', but rather what fits you.
Last but not least, when you ask a question, remember that there are some really smart people out here that rightfully just sit back and shake their heads at questions that are easily answered on your own with a little bit of searching.

SFR 1.2.
you can try a couple good kernels with it too. I used genocide.
Sent from my... Epic
Most are ROM's are stable, battery life well. I can kill my battery in 3-4 hrs of streaming music from network via bluetooth to a speaker... other wise I can go all day just about. Even with undervolting I only get marginally better battery life in general.
Some apps/widgets are just battery/cpu/gpu/memory/storage etc hogs. If you use your phone your battery will drain. That is a guaranty... usage = less battery
Like others have said your mileage may vary and usually does.
i prefer genocide too
I wish people would stop asking these kind of questions...even more I wish people would stop answering them. Just ignore them and maybe they will actually read the ROM threads like they are supposed to before flashing!
EVERY PHONE IS DIFFERENT!!! What is good for someone elses phone may be bad for yours. Flash and figure it out. Thank you and have a nice day!
Been getting horrible battery on my Sprint GNex. Currently running Paranoid Android with that kernel and still getting **** battery life. What's the best combination that is working for you all? I'm getting around 7~9 now. I used to get a whole day out of my OG Evo.
Sigh another battery thread.
Was this battery over 3G? How long? What was the display time? Need more info bud. Not just help my battery life sucks...

ROM? No idea. Kernel? Trinity
Not every ROM and Kernel combo is the best for everyone. YOU have to see which work best for YOU and YOUR usage. All these are really "hey let's all post what we're using because it's our favorite and if we're using it it MUST be the best"

CM9 SKANK/TRINITY alpha 85~4.7~1344-307=4 hrs or more screen on time and about stands still on standby. I do not allow anything to run in background (manually update when needed) and I only have apps I use on my phone. I have ran this setup for wks. Just updated to today's build.. With this kernel I've had no reboots but if u do try Trinity and have a reboot bump voltage up a hair till it quits. It will. And never have I gotten the screen time I do w Trinity w/ any other kernel. Been through the list. Also this rom, its the most dependable there is in my opinion. Scrolls like no other!! Lots of new options like status bar on bottom..much more!! Still flawless!

No it isn't "another battery thread" I wanted to see what people were getting. I don't run 3G or wifi really at all unless I'm using them. I know how to use my battery. I also know it matters for each phone. The stuff I have tried isn't giving me the results I think are possible with my phone. Obviously the stuff I am trying hasn't worked. There isn't much more info NEEDED. I asked basically what people were getting and on what combinations. Someone else's combination might do wonders for me. I'll try trinity since many people are suggesting it. I'll run it over PA for now, and see what I'm getting.

No point in digging through threads when I can find answers here.
I have the gsm gnex and i'm using AOKP build 39 with franco kernel nightly 192 and i constantly get around 3 1/2 to 4 hour screen on time. In my opinion the best combo. Experimenting with different kernels is however fun.

Best rom. You find this phrase in every thread. I just don't like these types of comments. They are simply lies. The best rom is the one you like and you don't need to say loud.
Just say Thanks to the devs.
At least with the gnex people have lots of ROMs to argue uselessly about. Many phones only have the ROM they came with, and don't even get CWM to back it up with. One of the many reasons I'm glad to own a gnex.
Sooooooooooo.....whats your favorite Rom?

lol I'd take that challenge, I've got blackbean flashed with trinity and I am loving it, plus I've got one of those insane pulley arm working out things like Stallone had installed in his 18 wheeler on perhaps the greatest movie ever made "Over the Top"
The best rom is the one thats not built yet.. Everyone is diff with diff tastes,, So you will get a million diff answers to that question.. stock rom is nice. or BAMF or paranoid etc.. just try them all and find one that fits you..

CM10 I think.
Btw, there wont be an oficial thread for it?
I know im going to get flamed on this for making 'another better rom for battery thread' but ive been away for two weeks and i see some new roms are out for jellybean, i am currently rocking AndroidMe Cm10 rom, but would like to try a different rom for better batterylife. (its not the best as is ..) i know you guys are going to say every device varies but chances are what most people are getting better battery life on so will mine... so what would you guys reccomend? i really dont want to revert to TeamGummy 4.0.4 (ICS) but if i cant find a better batterylife
well, a better battery life is mostly up 2 the kernel, screen brightness, wireless and network usage, other settings r just familiar of most roms.
though ice has a better battery life than jb, i think
the GUMMY doos have a good battery life 'cause it's using the imoseyon kernel:good:
Noooooo!!

Not trying to flame you but you answered your own question in the OP. Every device varies along with the way each person uses it. I don't have any technical expertise to fall back on when choosing a ROM so it's mostly a trial-and-error process. Flashing a different ROM or kernel is fairly simple, so just experiment and see which one gives you what you are looking for. I rarely, if ever, got the same performance that other users reported when I had my Evo. And lastly, read what other people are saying about a particular combination. XDA has no shortage of people willing to try out new things and let the rest of the community know how it worked. The last 3 pages of a thread are usually the best place to look and see what kind of success/failure rate is happening.
