Sonic Team GS3 R5 / Faux 009 Kernel
This combo is extremely fast, low on power consumption, and maintains the stock features that make the S3 appealing but with added tweaks!

Free gs3 5 with trinity 43 kernel. I was on track for over 6 hours of on screen time (wifi)

Yeah it was insane... Better than I could get with my razr maxx (regardless of what they claim you can get)
I was at over 4 hours with 35 percent left before I threw it on the charger for the night.

I have the same setup. Had about 17.5 hrs with 4 hours of youtube, 3 hours of facebook, 2 hours of talk. Still had about 20% battery left.

I am getting really good on battery time. But it seems like my screen on time is worse then before.... I am on one hour and 20 minutes of on screen time with 68 percent left. I did use a lot of four g Internet today while I was out at the outlet today.
Before I used to get about four to five hours of screen on time

I just did a AnTuTu benchmark... and i did not touch the rom/kernel in any way. And in my detailed scores it saying the clock frequency is under a GHz?? Is this thing really under clocked that much.. if so, no wonder battery life is much better. Check out the pic i attached, once again I did no changes.

Can trinity 43 be flashed via cwm or has to be Odin?

Could be throttling... Or depending on when the reading was taken could be correct. 1.8ghz probably isn't required to test sd card...
I have found that with faux kernel adjusting voltages has helped dramatically with the underclocking due to heat. I really hope morfic puts adjustable volts into a future kernel as these cpus seem to be hugely over volted (ymmv of course)

I am using this combo, for awhile now, and it is the most stable of them all.
Rom:FreeGS3 (GSN) R5 (thanks much redruM)
Kernel:Adama 003
Excellent battery life.
Might want to do flashes thru CWM, as it does not set off the ticker.
Although CM10 nightly builds are FAST! I am waiting for the final product here... wow.

I had that same setup before and it was great but didnt like how much it used to over heat. I then switched to trinity alpha 23 and Ive gotten much better battery with about 3 hours onscreen time and 19 hours overall. Now that I hear about alpha 43 I might just switch to that in a few

{PRO} [Q] Is this normal battery life?

Hi,
I've been mostly using stock gingerbread on my Xperia Pro and thought the battery life was pretty ok. It lasted at least the whole day. Now I'm using Jelly Sandwich with and it goes from 60% to 30% in just over an hour with no wifi, no 3g, no SIM card,screen on full brightness. That's alot of drainage to me, but I want to know what you get on ICS?

Nope thats not normal, flash another ROM if your not satisfied with Batt Life

guy, maybe the it is a normal case of rom's first use, just recharge your phone and check....

Allright, would be cool to see some comparison of all the roms and the battery life. Wich stock based kernel do you think has the best battery life?

yes, thats possible... but I think maybe the app I use to test battery life (nova battery tester) is running some stress to make it drain faster as well, not sure. I will continue testing

Battery life on Slim Bean 3.1.0

I'm still too laconic on XDA forums to post this in response to gmillz' SlimBean 3.1.0 ROM posting in Android Development, so here it is.
I'm getting the attached battery life after one day, one full power cycle on my new 1850mAh battery and fresh installation of the above referenced ROM. I'm running noop I/O and ondemand governor with the stock kernel built into SlimBean. I'm also running the screen on minimum brightness (not automatic). What else provides some useful background?

Here's my battery today on slim bean...I love this ROM

Since my phone "lost" my IMEi (actually, it was just not able to read it anymore), I flashed back to Stock Samsung 4.0.4. Before, I used SB 3.0.
And I can also report that battery life is much better now. Perfect example is a night in flight mode, which results in about 1% loss vs 6% loss @ SB.
As there are several guys I talked to which have perfect battery life with this ROM and I also had till 2.8 or so, there must be some misconfiguration. Or a battery draining app.

Where did you get the download for 3.1.0? I've checked there site and they only have 3.0 for the T989.

I've been running this ROM for the good half part of this day, and I must say, the battery is not as good as I hoped. Maybe I'll have to let it settle in, but CM so far beats this in terms of battery life.

I agree with the comment about stock being better than SB 3.0 and onlychevy's 3.1. It is a downer to realize most custom roms don't actually optimize for better battery life. I test the battery life by playing 5 minutes of youtube on 3g only to see how much is drained. On SB, 1% is drained for every 2 minutes of playback, and 3 minutes on stock.

Battery drain on 4.2.2 Roms

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
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

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

But the battery is fine in sense roms so that is a bit hard to believe. This is really crazy, in 4 hours today it got to 25%, one of those hours being in standby. I'll try some other roms

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

Post your Benchmarks here!

Hi there. I am just curious how our LGOG performs on benchmarks. I am not in particular, dependent to these results, however I just want to know how LGOG benchmarks differ from user per user. So, here's my LGOG's result:

Not bad, uh? I wonder if having ECO mode and energy saving on affects the performance... Probably not though, right? I repeated the test after disabling those two and it got about 18500.
Also why do you have a black status bar? Custom rom?

Stock 10c rom, just cleaned ram, eco mode off

I suppose that's how stock rom really rates in Antutu.

I got 20336... :thumbup::thumbup:
Stock rom with Eco mode off..
If yu guys getting scores lyk 16k or 17k, the reason is battery temp has increased and all the cores gets locked to 1188ghz....so before doing this test keep these things in mind... Leave the mobile fr some time so tat battry temp ll get reduced nd the cores ll be relocked to 1.5ghz...disable auto brightness nd increase it to max..... Hope these things ll increase ur score....

That explain a lot. It seem to be quite hot while running the benchmark.

It's quite weird, in my first test I had eco mode on, energy saving mode on and I got about 20229. In the next few tests (with eco and en.sav. modes off) I never got past 18000.
Now I repeated it again, got 19008.
