Just wanted to share battery results here and maybe tell what rom your on etc. To help people choose what may be best for battery life. I'll go first.
I'm using the zero lemon 7000mah battery. Nd8 deodexed
Rooted.
I had all the Samsung stuff on at first but it was wake lock city.
I turned it off at 30 %
Now usually I get double these stats on a single charge but a rom takes a day or 2 to settle in.
Post your results too on stock battery would be good to know too

Thanks for posting this. I haven't really seen anything conclusive on the battery results with this version.
Is it a pretty decent improvement from 4.3?
Battery results are better than previous 4.3

Yep, and it will be even better when we start modding it
I'm testing now with a few changes I made to settings and froze Samsung everything. And any system apps I'm not using like swype and keyboards etc.
Also shut off the constant check for wifi

I'm also on a zerolemon 7000mah nd8, deodexed, debloated, my zerolemon is over a year old so I'm not getting as good battery life as I was getting. A new one should get you 3 days easy with over 8 hours screen time.

Can someone post normal battery results? Imo frankly once you have to change your phones weight and size and all that crud, it's no longer really the same thing and only a select group will have said results. The crazy sized batteries results don't help the 90% of us who use stock battery =p sorry if I sound rude.

If that's the case your going to have to do the research on your own buddy. Everyone has different setups/batteries/apps etc. Even if I was on a standard battery, my results may be different than yours. I can tell you how I do this/why I do that but overall it comes down to how YOU use your phone. We are giving you our response to the question asked. Some of us have changed our size/weight to out phones because the original battery doesn't hold up to our liking. Give nd8 a try with your regular battery and report back. Its just that simple. Hope this helps...

Shoot just do the math and you can figure out the stock battery results... Stock battery is 2300 mah (basically divide by 3 from the 7000 mah). But yes as mentioned, all results will differ.
I've tried many different kernels, ROMs and apps. On ND8, so far the stock ROM has been best for me.

I agree even a custom kernel undervolted wasn't as good as stock kernel
Nd8 deodexed Rooted and modded
I ended up with 2 days 6 hours on battery and 13 hours screen on... Stock rom, Ktoonz kernel... ND8 has been incredible all around

i have a stock battery. ND8 (odex/rooted) has been good so far. I've been running it for a week. My phone seems to sleep well and don't have wakelocks as much as before. Debloating your system really helps with that. I greenify'd everything I can except for a few messaging and tracking programs. I also have location off (wifi and gps), which helps save battery too. Typically, I get about an 1 hour to 1 hour 15 mins of screen time per 25% battery. When its been asleep for a few hours, BBS says the drain is about 1.5% per hour. I also have full bars where I am, the phone doesn't have to work so hard to maintain a cell signal.
I can't compare to stock MK3 since I haven't ran anything stock for longer than a few days except ND8. I was running MOAR most of the time.
i'll try to get some screen shots at the beginning and end of my day tomorrow.
For the first few weeks I was getting really poor battery life on ND8 and nothing I could do would make it any better. Then suddenly a few days ago it turned around and now I no longer have to plug the phone in mid-day any more. Right now I'm getting great battery life.
My best guess is that the original problem was an app the was misbehaving under KitKat that got updated, or maybe an update to Google services in the background.
Here's my ND8 stock (rooted) battery results using the stock battery. I've greenify'd almost all my apps and debloated samsung/sprint apps. Slow day at work, so I was on my phone a lot texting, social media, youtube, ect. I got 4 hours of screen time
Today was a good day.
This is on the OEM battery that came with the phone when I bought it in December 2012 (and I bought it used!).
I'm running stock ND8, rooted & debloated myself, with ktoonsez TW4.4 kernel, balanced bull stock voltage profile:
Min freq all profiles: 378
Max freq all profiles: 1512
Screen-on governor: ktoonservative

Custom ROMs & custom kernels/governors, & lowering the minimum frequency of the CPU. Check my signature. Based on ND8 but stripped of Samsung bloat. I've used Greenify and DS Battery Saver in the past, too, but sometimes it's good to take a step back and minimize the micro managing. This time around I've also only been restoring apps through Titanium Backup as I need them, so absolutely only apps I use are installed.
Also, do you turn off WIFI, mobile data, GPS, & Bluetooth when not using them?

Bad battery life? Do some searching and read his kernel thread. Battery life has been amazing with his past releases. Build 7.1 are heavily exceptional builds.
Anything before that, yes the battery life hasn't been so good. But now his focus shifted onto the battery. Many people included screenshots of their battery graph.
Aokp also has a power saver mode, read into that as well

I did run AOKP build 12 for 1 day, and thats how long my battry lastet with nearly no usage at all. The same with eaglyblood all on latest fran kernel, with juicedefender ultimate on agressive setting.
So how can i test and post graphs for you?
What baseband are you on?
Is there any good taskiller i can use?
Dont know what is using so much battery except the screen and i have it on very low always.
I use stock 4.0.2, non rooted or unlocked bootoader, and I find the battery life better than most android phones i've used previously. However, occasionally, it gets low, then i plug it in, and later it's charged again!! As if by magic!! Also i noticed that if i turn it off completely, the battery life is aammmmaaaazzziinnngggg!!! *palms face*
sorry, these battery life threads really get my goat! On a serious note though, one nugget of knowedge that I have taken from messing with android for years is, that if you, like me in the past, have been one of these types that just cannot stop flashing roms left and right, then you will never get to see the full potential of your battery. It does depend of course more on individual usage than anything else, but, settling on a rom of choice and using it normally over the course of a week or so will see you gain an increase in capacity thereafter, just through simple calibration.
Im running AOKP v.13 with Franco's Kernel 9.2 and battery is really great, even on heavy usage. There's almost no batter drain in Sleep Mode (last night ~8 hours, the battery just dropped for 2%).
I've set up my syncs, set up AOKP's Powersave Mode to my wishes and made a ScreenOff Profile for franco's Kernel. That's all, and im still on my second battery loading cycle. Cant wait to see what will happen if it's callibrated well.
With AOKP Rom and its Powersave Mode, you dont even need Juice Defender anymore, its doing nearly the same.
Thank you, i will go back to AOKP in a few days and try build 13, i update you all
My battery holds 1 day 24hours, would say normal use with 2g on when screen of, 3g when screen on, i dont surf on it check facebook maybe 2 times on it, nothing more, text sms and few calls lasting maybe 40min total

How is your standby drain with that setup? 1% per hour? Or less?
Just wanted to post some feedback. Im pretty new to joining this community and I want to say Thanks to all the developers for giving me and all of us so many options to choose from.
Just wanted to post a quick note. I recently have been playing around with different mods and currently as of 2 days ago I am using the following on my Canadian Galaxy S3 i747;
Wanamlite with faux kernal located here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785466"
I did the following,
Installed the Rom
Added removed samsung and att apps patch
(I did all this with wiping)
Following that I installed the kernal (above) booted and rebooted a second time.
Charged the battery full and Calibrated
I installed the kernal and calibrated the battery yesterday at 6PM from 6PM full charge until today at 11:00am I still have 47 percent battery life and I have been using it like I normally do. I have also ran 2 benchmark tests on the current charge. I have doctor web full version on constant monitor alarm and wifi going.
The Rom with this kernal is very snappy and very buttery and offers all the stock features. The battery is unreal. Iv never had a phone last this long and I have used everything on the market I work for a Bell Dealer so its like christmas for me everytime a new phone comes out.
Thanks again! Highley recommend this combo for anyone who wants the stock look and feel with more battery and more power!
+1 been using that same combo for a while and found it hard to beat. Although just trying out ktoonsez kernel and its equally impressive.

You know that there is no need for calibration for the batteries in our phone...we have a chip that does it. Its a wasted step. Also, the batteries that are in our phones also don't have memory either. Just don't deplete them and you're good to go.
I do agree that both kernels are awesome...I'm running Ariel w/kt747 UV and oc.

I'm a new android user. I'm using the LiquidSmooth 4.2.1 JellyBean Beta 2. The problem I'm having is with my battery life. I seem to average about 5-7 hours of battery life which is crazy if you ask me. This isn't a ROM issue either because it was the same way on the stock 4.1.1 Android OS.
I'm using JuiceDefender now and that seems to help a little. I know things like disabling 3G and WiFi can help but I use these things often. Can anyone offer any useful suggestions to extend my battery life?

Absolutely something wrong with your phone and or battery. Had an S3 since July '12, rooted and ran FreeGS3 and had all day battery. Lost that just before Xmas (actually stolen) and got another S3, and this time decided not to do all that ROMming and flashing and stayed stock 4.1.
Same all day battery life with WiFi on, 3G on, Google/Gmail Sync on (i like my push Gmail), several email accounts polling, etc. I just use my phone, no gimping with apps like JuiceDefender (which i detest with a passion).
Heres a question, what's your screen on time? Cuz if your phones dead at 7 hrs with 5 hrs screen on your first option is to adjust screen settings and the second and 3rd option are put the phone down sometimes and/or keep a charger handy

Depending on how often I use my phone I get anywhere between 9-11 hours on light to moderate use. Meaning listening to music, Twitter, Instagram, email, and texting
It could be the 4.2, because it isn't completely "stable" yet. I'm on stock 4.1 rooted, with screen brightness on I'd say 30-40%, with light to moderate use and can get 11-15 hours easily. This includes texting, maybe a few phone calls, lots of music, and some Facebook or XDA on a WiFi connection.

Well after checking out the Kernelizers thread and flashing the KT kernel onto my Galaxy S3 and installing ROM Toolbox, my battery life has greatly improved. I also installed DS Battery Saver Pro. I just came to work. Left at 7:05AM, put on some music, and by the time I got to work at 8:05AM, my phone battery only dropped 3%. Normally it would drop at least 10% in this time so what I did is clearly working

I would uninstall DS Battery Saver Pro. If you did check out that thread, the phone already deep sleeps. Mine does with no additional app assistance. Went 38+ hours and still had 25% battery life left.
I have a ROMed Galaxy Note 2 and the battery life is amazing. My son on the other hand has a stock Galaxy S3 and it's the worst battery life I've ever witnessed. It's the typical draining while in standby issue reported by many S3 users. Bottom line, his phone is getting a ROM tonight before this phone melts down. Problem is, which one do I choose? There are so many and it would take me months to read thru every post to determine which one is right for him. So for now I'm going to focus on what really matters most, battery life.
Which ROM have you read about or used that you feel is battery life winner?
Thank you.

We are lucky to have MANY great ROM's out there. There are so many great devs here that go out of their ways to make the experience better. I highly suggest trying as many as you can, because each phone, after much experience with my ROM's, are different. Make a nandroid backup and try a bunch! What I'm getting at is that there are too many well made ROM's here to pick one. Flash away. Oh and make sure you turn off google now cards and locations...that will drain your battery like no other on this phone. Best of luck!

I'm on Slimbean 4.2.1 RC1 with lean kernel and I have to say it is buttery smooth and stable, fast as can be, and I'm almost two days into it with ~45% charge. Loving it
For longest time I was swearing at CM10 / CM10.1 and than I found a thread about what affect battery and now both TW and CM based roms that I use are about the same...
To get great battery life follow the simple rules:
- stay away from colour. The darker the theme / icons are the better the battery life. Some go as far as to get inverted gapps...
- no live wall paper. It will affect battery life... yes, the darker the wallpaper the better the battery life...
- turn off GPS , bluetooth , nfc and everything else that you don't need... turn it back on when you need it...
I have 15 toggle mod and I even turn off data when I don't need it. (I turn it back on once every couple of hours to get e-mail and notifications... than turn it back off... this also prevents rouge apps from dialling back home to mothership...)
- if I travel from one location to the other I toggle airplane mode on and off... this forces modem to look for strongest tower... the strogner the tower the less power you need... hence less battery consumption...
- Use Ti Backup on roted rom... unistall what you obviously don't use..
- Google apps that run that you don't know what they do... stop or unistall those that you don't need...
- Use fierwall... block everything that doesn't need to talk to internet ... less you use antenna longer the battery life...
Also, if going to new ROM wipe battery stats and let battery fully discharge couple of times. This helps as well...
Follow these simple rules and don't be surprised if your battery life doubles regardless of the rom...
Cheers

While most of this makes sense, I have to disagree with discharging the battery fully. This actually reduces battery life drastically.

I agree but idea is that you let the kernel optimize it by itself.
So you do this only a few times on new rom and that's it...
As for myself I tend to plug in the S3 to charge as soon as I hit 60-70%...
(whenever I can of course - i actually keep one charger at home and one at work)
SIDENOTE:
Forgot to mention the widgets... to me they're just short-cuts and if you set them for automatic update (weather being prime example) they'll just waist battery and bandwith... (it takes about 1 sec to turn on the data from 15 toggle mod and 1 more to start the app I want updated - email weather whatever... to me this is a small price to pay for extended bat life...)
If I may toot my own horn, how about this guy getting four days from one charge with my ROM and ktoonz's kernel? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36384974&postcount=95
Your mileage may vary but I usually get about a day and a half or two days from one charge with the stock kernel that's included in the ROM

Although there is a thread already about the best Rom, I noticed that it has posts dating back nearly a year. Naturally things change over that long of a time period so I was hoping to find a more updated answer to what I'm looking for.
I've had my gs3 rooted since basically day one of getting it, but I only rooted it to be able to remove some bloatware and never looked into getting a custom rom. For some reason I decided to start looking into them more yesterday and was overwhelmed by the options that exist.
I'm looking for a rom that can improve the battery life (which is the only thing I can't stand about the phone running stock) yet still looks amazing and had improved function. I know this is a matter of opinion, so backup up why you pick the rom you did would be great!

You mileage will vary.
You have to also state if you're looking for a TouchWIz ROM or a "Original" Android ROM.
The battery life will also be heavily impacted by the Kernel you are running and the settings you are on.
I am using SweetRom on Philz Kernel for GTN7000. This rom is touchwiz-based with a lot of GNII features. I saw on RootGalaxyNote that it had been very popular with S3 users, ( the SweetRom part) before being updated for the GNote. I have had nothing but GREAT performance and battery life.

I too didn't care too much for custom features, but the stock TW 4.1.1 was draining my battery in ~16 hours with <1 hr of on screen time. Yes, I kept Wi-FI & Bluetooth on at all times. I also work in an area with spotty LTE coverage, so the phone often switches between 4G and 4G LTE. So all these things hurt my battery life.
A few weeks back, I've rooted the stock TouchWiz (TW) 4.1.1 ROM. I then proceeded to install the ktoonez KT747 kernel specific for AT&T. Using the ONDEMAND governor and SIO scheduler. I have not yet experimented with other Governers.
My battery life is now ~24 hours with ~1-1.5 hrs of screen time. This way my phone lasts through my day (6am-11pm) with ease.

A few weeks back, I've rooted the stock TouchWiz (TW) 4.1.1 ROM. I then proceeded to install the ktoonez KT747 kernel specific for AT&T. Using the ONDEMAND governor and SIO scheduler. I have not yet experimented with other Governers.
My battery life is now ~24 hours with ~1-1.5 hrs of screen time. This way my phone lasts through my day (6am-11pm) with ease.

thats got to be some of the worst battery life ive ever heard about. its ok if you barely use the phone I guess . if you dont need lte dont make your phone connect to it. 24 hrs and 5 hours screen is my norm on 3g

Try running these settings:
governor = ktoonservative
scheduler = row
ALL ROMs are the best for the members using them and
battery life is relative to the user, phone, signal issues, apps used...etc.
This is why these threads are closed
Thanks for understanding
