How is the battery life on a GPe HTC One M8 compared to a stock Sense M8? Is it better or worse? Thanks for your reply.
I've found when I convert it gets better than when I was on sense.

Same it makes sense though because sense 6 is simpler therefore the phone has less info to process.
Alright, thanks guys, and may I ask what, if any kernels you guys are using for battery settings?

That you probably can't ask...
It becomes a comparison thread and comparison threads are not allowed in this section. As comparison threads leads to flame wars. It's better to try out all the ones which are available and select the best one for yourself.
You could probably try x and then ask others what settings they have for x to make xxx better, but to choose between kernel a, b,c ... x, y, z won't be allowed.
I found it better on gpe

sense version battery is good a day of heavy use easily
Use whatever rom and kernel you find appealing. Roms and kernels have little if any effect on battery life. Setup and usage are what determine battery life. ?

Dear all,
I have a EURO Desire Z.
When I use a Sense based ROMs (in fact, stock or Virtuous) I have a fairly nice battery life, that is, in the 30 hours range.
However, with any kind of CM6 or CM7 (or even Vilain ROMs), the battery life is really reduced. Like 12-15h max (almost without any use).
The battery monitor will show that most power is eaten by Cell Standby, Wifi and Bluetooth. I tried different radios, but the result is still the same.
Any idea on what may be wrong ?

How is this development again? You even preface your post title with [Q].....Get in the Questions and Answers section you nub.
Wrong section, buddy.
For the record, I get like 28 hours running VilliamRom 1.5.
I have better batterytime with cm 6.1 and gingervillain 1.4.
Have you tried using interactive governor?

Wrong section.... but on subject using the g2 I have noticed sense based roms have better battery life as well which confuses me because for every other phone I've had sense has drained more battery... gingerbread roms are better on battery but still not as good as virtuous .90 with the advanced kernel. Gingervillain has the second best battery life I've experianced though

I apologize for using the wrong forum (most of discussions regarding alternative ROMs happen here, so I didn't really think about going elsewhere).
I'll reposte in the right one, and hopefully get some relevant answers.
I'm seeing the same thing with my G2. I really want to use CM6.1.1 but it just burns through my battery and I haven't been able to figure out why. With the stock G2 ROM I got pretty good battery life. With CM6.1.1 I would burn through 10-15% in 2 hours with almost no use. Stock I would be running Audible all day checking email etc and would use 40% in 10-2 hours at most.
I have been searching the web for the hands down best rom for htc one x concerning battery life. It really does not matter what the pros/cons are with the rom, all that matters is that the battery life is the best. So what rom & kernel should i go for?
My research have shown that the clean rom is probably the best for battery life, but i have the INTERNATIONAL version, not the at&t.:silly:
I've seen many people achieving good battery times with sense ROMs such as ARHD. I personally use IceColdJelly by LordClockan with n3o kernel, have undervolted by 125mv and I'm quiet happy. Yesterday I achieved 18h of total up time, of which 5 hours screen on time, brightness less than 20%, 3g always on, manual sync.

Im running ARHD right now, but im not sure what kernel i have. I have downloaded a kernel and im not sure how to install it. Do i just go into fastboot and flash the boot.img from the command prompt?

Are you sure? That sounds like a light answer, because i am willing to install the most lightweight slimmest rom in the universe if it had the best battery life.

Just look around forum, there are a lot of noob friendly guides. Basically yes, you flash boot.img in fastboot, then flash modules(zip file in which you find boot.img) in recovery. Sometimes you need to repack kernel for it to work. http://nibble.cc/repack

i am using ARHD now and i quite like this Rom and i won't change it.. but i noticed that, while on idle (screen off) i got an increased battery time.. but while using it i get less battery time.. with my normal usage i was able to get 1,5 or 2 days, now i struggle to get a full 24h..

SURE. Please check the replies and this sentence "Proudly presenting you the most popular ROM for HTC One X..." For me the best rom ever made :good: link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
I've tried a few. I'm using ViperX 2.1.0 at the moment which is the ROM I am sticking with.
But I'd say the best for battery was ARHD.
I try many roms and all have about the same battery live,
it all depends how you use the device.
Try Renovate..best ever
I've tried several roms and kernels, and I absolutely swear by football's maximus roms. The current one with its stock kernel is the most perfect hox experience I've had so far. Currently on 68% battery after a full day, listened to some music, done facebook and whatnot, I have had data off for big chunks of the day, tho that's only because I'm in a weird signal area. On WiFi I leave it on and it seems to idle indefinitely.
try viperx
Actually try them all. Battery use is dependent on personal preference. Some could get good battery on one rom while others can not 'cause the use pattern is different and each rom reacts different on that pattern.
One Maximus and ARHD are probably going to be the right direction.
The best way is to try some different roms and i've experienced that the sense-roms have better battery-life than the jelly-ones
I'm pretty interested in this thread. :good:
I'm a big believer, that regardless of spec an functionality, if your battery sucks, its game over whatever the device.
I've tried:
Stock 4.0 Sense - Rubbish battery, and launcher IMHO
CM10 Beta - I love JB, but could see the battery trickle away as I held it. No way its a daily ROM
ARHD, 4.1 no-sense, GO Launcher - Better, but still caught out frequently. Plus, not all of Sense is removed regardless of the 'No-Sense' install
I'd be interested to know if Paranoid Android (most complete JB rom by the looks) returns decent battery? I missed the opportunity to download the ICS version.
Its a shame that the battery is the achilles heel in this device....
Stock. Had nothing but poor battery since I rooted and flashed a custom rom and I've tried a few different kernels and roms.

@Op, in hours, days..... or years?
So here I am, ready to root and all read up on the procedures and methods on how to root and so on, yet, one question remains;
What ROM do I choose?
I've been looking at various options, such as ARHD and CM10 nightly but even with all the reading of both presentations for popular ROM's and the threads themselves with feedback and so on from users, I still cannot decide which one to use, so I thought I'd reach out to the community!
I've got a list of certain requirements/desired software, but first I got to ask another question, with the official HTC JB update hiding just behind the next creek for me, with it quite possibly arriving next week for my area and type of phone, is it worth waiting until developers dissect it and take out the good parts and throwing the bad ones away and then merge it into their own creations?
Either way there are some requirements/wishes I have, such as;
Jellybean (4.1.1 or 4.1.2, but 4.1.2 is of course, prefered)
No bloat (I despise bloat)
Good Performance, I don't mind tweaks and optimizations, I'm all for it.
Better battery life, when the phone isn't in use, I realize that using more power through performance enhancements is paradoxal to this, so if good battery life when idle isn't at all possible with better performance, do tell!
Multilanguage (English language, but I need Swedish keyboard)
Flash support would be good, but it's not required. As far as I understood, they removed this in JB, but if I'm wrong, do tell!
I am indifferent to a sleek, non bloated version of Sense 4+, but with a new version of Sense coming in the JB update, this might not be optimal and the stock Android UI might be a better choice then.
Some of my friends in other circles recommended ASOP/ASOP K based ROM's, any comments on these?
This is pretty much it, if you got good suggestions or comments, please do tell!
Well you either want the benefits of Sense or you don't. Sense based roms are better in that they are optimised with the correct drivers and such. And sense is improved upon in the Jellybean builds. Only you can decide if you like sense and it's benefits or want a vanilla rom.
As for choosing a rom, try them all, pick one test it and monitor your battery life with your own usage if you don't like it try another and see if it improves on battery and such.
No one can say one rom offers better battery life over another as battery is totally user dependent based on their usage, type of data used, signal strength, etc.
If your phone has a matching CID for the current leaked JB roms then feel free to try any of the builds.
You can easily debloat manually by using root Explorer or even rom cleaner can debloat for you.

Alright, as I said I was indifferent, but if I have to choose, I'd rather use Sense than stock, so if you want to suggest a ROM, do go with Sense primarily.
I'm not one to reflash my phone all the time, I was back when I was younger, but today I prefer stable "don't need to touch again" software!
Yes, my phone have HTC_Y13 as it's CID, so it's compatible.
Thanks about the suggestion about using root explorer to debloat the phone, but in this case I'd rather prefer it not being installed at all in the first place.
As for battery lifelength, fair enough, but if there is a ROM that advertises it's amazing battery life it's a good point.
EDIT: Seeing as I'm leaning towards Sense, is there any point to getting a custom ROM with Sense 4.1 right now? If I need to reflash the phone in a week to get 4.5, I can't say it's all that compelling to root and flash this moment.
Try OrDroid but it's based of the HOX+ base the new version like ARHD12 and such based on the new X+ bases but their older versions are based on the leaked JB builds for HOX.
OrDroid has a handy app removal selection whilst installing in aroma to un install bloatware that comes installed.
And I've been getting good battery life from it.
But they are all very similar so bare that in mind. It's kernels that improve battery but no source code as of yet for the new JB kernels.

If I read your post right, I shouldn't have any problems with using HOX+ based ROM's such as ARHD12 correct? Looks like ARHD is where it's at.
The biggest things I noticed with ARHD on my DHD were the huge optimisations in performance and battery life!
I have used both cyanogenmod nightly Builds and paranoid android on my international htc one x. Currently using PA. My advise would be to test both and more. Different strokes for different folks. Use apps like SwiftKey to help with language items and juice defender to help with the poor battery life of this device (as I watch it drop 2 percent as I write this message) I'm going to buy the Mugen battery pack!! Always backup up a good mod using Cwm!!! For fast swapping

I think the first thing i should say is that im NOT comparing roms,
This isnt a "which rom gives you better battery life" and i dont want people going "dude go ARHD or ICJ" or any other flaming/warring.
And if you want to know which rom gives you better life then test them out or if you want to know which is fastest, install and run antutu or quadrant or whatever.
I was just wondering, is it normal for AOSP or CM10.1 based roms to be more battery hungry then normal official HTC releases ?
Anyone getting better or worst battery on AOSP as compared to sense,
WARNING : i just want to know AOSP vs Sense, do not mention individual roms because i don't want this shot down because of rom comparisons.
Yes, AOSP generally uses more juice

You're smart
Ans yes, AOSP roms do have poorer battery life in my experience.
Can I ask why ? Sense seems to be the more power hungry one

the think is that i have run a couple of AOSP roms which will remain anonymous for now and i have found that at first battery life was decent, but a few days later it just went down the drain...
AOSP is surely more battery hungry than sense. However, with the right tweaking, it can easily last a day... (15-20 hours)...,
Hi everyone. I've just gotten the lollipop ota update on my Rogers One m8. I've been wondering, how good is the battery life for the m8 on 5.0.1? Is it worse than 4.4.4 or better? This will determine whether I update or not. Thanks!

Just upgraded to Lollipop yesterday, and I haven't used it long enough to tell. However, my M8 also has the issue of GPS turning on EVERY freaking time it unlocks. Extremely annoying and can't be good for the battery life.

There already a thread in the M8 General section, where battery life is discussed ad nauseum, with screenshots galore. I think that thread has all you want, and more.
Battery life is really subjective. It depends a lot on your specific usage patterns, and local cell reception. You mileage can (and will) vary from that reported by other users. So IMO discussion of battery life is fairly pointless.
I agree that battery life is subjective. However, it might be useful to relate that subjective perception. In my case, right after the update, I felt that the battery life was much worse and the device in general became laggy. Since then I did two factory resets and now the battery life is OK, although I still did not reinstall Facebook, which many people claim is a big battery eater on Lollipop. The responsiveness of the device has also improved after the second reset. Somehow during the second reset the nu player got selected and after I disabled it in the developers options the device is running well. Strange that happened like this.
But even with these recent improvements, I still don't see the point in the update. if I could go back in time with what I know now, I would not update. Kit Kat worked well and Lollipop did not bring any significant improvements.

And I've been running Lollipop with Facebook, and battery life is great, and very similar to KitKat. No lag like others report, and while the update is not much of a change, there are some new features, and certainly nothing is "worse".
A very different (even conflicting) experience, and there you start to see where discussions on battery life aren't very useful.
There is already a massive discussion in General HERE
It makes absolute sense to continue there..
