I have to say I have tried EVERY ROM on the SGH-T989 and can say none are as stable and have the battery life to match the stock ROM.
I tried Darkside today. It is a clean ROM. Close to stock. I had two complete lockups on the phone that required battery removal in about a 6 hour period. I am not overclocking at all. The ROM has an underclock by default.
I just think it's time to give Samsung and the programmers there a thumbs up for doing such a great job on this phone.
It would be nice if they could release more of the header and source so the developers here could have a better chance of getting a stable ROM built...but until that happens I will just stay with a rooted and stock ROM.
Peace.
I've had no lockups or any problems in the 150 hour uptime I had with Juggernaut 5.0 with 009m faux's kernel.
Battery life is much better as well. Dropping down to 80% after 1 hour of display time.
Cool story bro

I was on the stock ROM for 6 hours yesterday. Surfing, playing games, wifi enabled. Used a bit over 30% from a full charge.
I jumped right into custom ROM's when I got this phone. After going back to stock is when I realized how much the custom ROM's actually degrade the phone.
I have ran Jugg's 4.x with Faux kernel and Bullet kernels. Bullet was faster by a good bit. Battery sucker from hell though.
Do these phones really need the overclocks and tweaks? After going back to stock my opinion is no.
Peace.
You probably didnt follow the directions when installing any of the roms you tried.
If companies like samsung were as awesome as you say they are, would XDA exist at all in the 1st place?
Enjoy your bloatware.

Keep it civil and to the point. Don't attack my character by implying that I don't know how to follow directions and flash a ROM. I have been a member on XDA since the first year....much longer than you.
I don't have a problem with bloatware. I use a stock ROOTED ROM and remove the bloatware. Very easy to test and then delete bloatware using Titanium Backup.
XDA got it's start back when the CPU and chipsets on phones were very slow. Over time the new phones have become handheld computers. The processing speed is much faster.
In the beginning the OS's were in the infantile stages as well. They have all improved dramatically.
I remember when a flash on something like the HTC Tytan made a huge difference. You were getting the GPS and FM Radio Unlocked. The bloatware was removed in the ROM(Windows based...no ROOT access). It made a huge difference in the performance of the phone and unlocked a lot of features.
This isn't the case with the new phones. There really is nothing being added to the ROM's that can't be added via the market or removed using Titanium Backup.
What I have seen with every ROM is intermittent lockups that require battery removal and excessive battery consumption probably from the aggressive timings that aren't necessary.
Peace.

I look forward to your battery testing!
Please include multiple kernels as you test various ROMs, especially faux and Synergy
And perhaps install Juice Defender as a best case.
Personally I haven't experienced any lockups with the two custom T989 ROMs I've tested, but have benefited from the improved battery life dramatically. I'd still love to see a more controlled experiment, however.

Read it. It is basically a generic thread. No stats or true testing methods just some user comments.
I want to actually test the phone in real life conditions. Watch some vids, talk on the phone, skype/gtalk/YM video call...etc. Actually run consecutive tests across the best ROMS and stock and see how they match up.
Benchmarking is a bit ridiculous....in several aspects.
If a game runs 30 fps or greater...you won't see the difference.
If a game runs a stable 30 fps versus a ROM that peaks at 50 but valleys at 15....you will definitely see the difference.
If a ROM runs 50 fps versus 30 and both are stable...you won't see the difference. The question then is which one uses less battery. The obvious answer is the one running 30fps. Less frames means less redraws and less CPU and GPU.
I just want to once an for all be able to definitively say what each ROM is really doing to the phone with graphs.
Not hard to do. Just takes a real world test model and some time. I think I can test one ROM a day. I will test the most popular ROM's....Juggs, Beast, Darkside, Bombardier, Gingersnap, etc... I have tested them all. I know which ones are legit and which ones aren't.
Peace

Agree 100%
Nothing has performed better than stock 2.3.6, rooted and debloated.

I run Juggernaut 5, ADW launcher, AOSP ICS themed, with Darkside's latest kernel (extracted it from Darkside ROM pakage), and I've had amazing battery life, OC'd to 1.83ghz with ondemand governor.
And IMO Touchwiz is ugly, samsung tries too hard to make all their stuff look like the iPhone. They do a crappy job of it and it ends up being a dissapointment.
I think any small degradation of battery life is worth the noticable boost in snappiness and cosmetics of the phone. I personally couldn't stand the stock phone, as soon as I could I flashed something different.

Strictly aesthetics can be achieved through the use of different launchers/lockscreens. The point of ROMs/Kernels need to be more than aesthetics. Hence, "some" of the ROMs offered [strictly speaking] are a pretty big disappointment because they're nothing more than themed stuff baked in and offer no real functionality.
I'm REALLY interested in a controlled experiment of battery claims of different ROMs/kernels. Preferably all at stock speeds.

Sorry but there is absolutely NO proof in these pictures.
I can see that your phone was on battery for a bit over 1 day.
I can also see that 45% of your phones battery usage was the display...and that the display was on for a bit over 7 hours.
What I don't know is what was your screen brightness set at?
Does the display percentage represent JUST the LED power for the screen or does it also include the GPU/CPU driving the display?
Where are the numbers for the stock ROM?
Those numbers mean nothing when you don't have a standardized test bed and procedure.

You can use a home launcher on the stock debloated ROM and get the same results with more stability and better battery life.
I recommend you check DXHOME out to see a smooth launcher.

Actually, unless that test was completely skewed (e.g. screen on displaying black screen), 7 hours of screen on time + 20 odd hours of standby time with use of radios/connectivity is very very impressive.

When you can refer us to pictures of a base ROM with the same parameters and settings for comparison then I might say it is impressive. But with no base ROM data it is purely speculation.

enjoy the drm laden ciq enabled features... That cannot be removed by titanium unless it can magically decompile recompile frameworks on the fly...
Enjoy the Memeroy leaked jobsmanager....
Anyways now thats oout of the way
How much time did you spend between stock firmwares and custom firmwares?
Did you fully wipe the device before flashing and after
Did you do dirty nanoid restores?
A little more info woud be helpfull
at the end of the day if you enjoy stock more great for you.... Use it n move on...
Still missing the point of this thread on a dev website unless you like being trolled.

Yes. That tends to be one of the bigger complaints about CM10.
i think cm10 is default tailored more towards performance, you can tweak it or go with a liquid rom if your concern is battery life, i also recomend taking a look at something like this:
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-hacking-guides/14714-how-optimize-battery-life-speed.html
this guy seems to know his stuff, i personally prefer performance over battery life thats why i own a p930 to begin with. but i perform the battery calibration twice a month using his steps, and ive seen it improve my battery life durastically, you might want to start there and tweak according to your needs.
It has been reported that cm10 kernel keeps waking up the phone, i.e. no real deep sleep, causing a more drastic battery drain. work is being done to fix all the bugs with cm10, you may give Quattrimus a try, I found it very good with battery, especially true for rc2 (last version):good:
---------- Post added at 06:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 AM ----------
I cant edit the post so here is the link to Quattrimus. good luck!
interesting never heard this, since 10.1 releases are starting to come out, the real question now is, have they fixed that bug for 10.1, the answer is probably yes if they were aware of it in 10.0 but it would be nice if someone knows for sure
edit was just spelling
Even factory ICS is not as great as Gingerbread. But yeah, running CM10, my P930 feels like a space shuttle ... in that it must remain tethered right until takeoff.

your probably using it more if you just installed it no? how long have u been testing it
If I had just done a bit more research on CM10 for the Nitro I probably wouldn't have put it on there. Oh well. The good this is that I do have JB now.
DS battery saver provides decent battery life with moderate use. Now all we need are fixes to the kernel/ROM to provide better battery life when actually using the phone because DS battery saver is mainly for screen off.

I always use my phone heavily; regardless of testing or not. Ive established a pretty good baseline for how my battery performs with almost every rom available for our device evenly l except cm10+. On most other Roms I can get around two hours of constant use, cm10 half that

I noticed my phone gets HOT on CM10. Haven't tried any CM10.1 ROMs yet. I'm guessing the kernel needs a bit of tinkering to get it running efficiently with our hardware. Battery drains fast even idling. I don't think the phone ever goes to deep sleep.
It definitely goes deep sleep, according to better battery stats app anyway. I'm really digging cm10.1, especially oc'd using windkernal (scoring 4000+ in quadrant consistently). The nitro is a complete beast right now, but I dunno if I can afford to sacrifice the battery life so drastically for a little performance.

Try ASKP kernel. I think its the best. Also, many people recommend Fancy kernel too
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you want performance you should flash mpokang. I recommend 1080p version, I don't have any issues with it. If you want battery life you can flash Tiny kernel, it has good performance too but it is slower than mpokang. I used fancy some weeks ago but with different rom (Paranoid) and previous version of kernel. Now I have official CM 11 and mpokang 1080p.

There is nothing much to do other than making sure your apps behave, stay in areas with good phone signal (and use airplane mode when there isn't signal), don't use high brightness.
Toggle wifi off and gps off when not in use. If you have a verizon GN, then toggle off LTE and use 3g only when you have low data needs. Unfortunately, this phone sucks battery down like no other.

Battery depends on how you use it. Usually some custom ROMs can help save battery life but it has been proven by a lot of people that Touchwiz has the best battery life, but really there is a small difference since the phone averages 4 hours of screen time. :silly:

Yea I know its really good on touchwiz but havent ran a custom rom in over 5 months since my Samsung Blaze just wanting know if its even worth it in battery life.
My battery life was always best on stock 4.1.2....heavily debloated, greenified and location, sync, GPS all off...and screen kept as dim as I could use.

Lux is good to control the screen brightness.
Also I always rebooted after unplugging from charger. Otherwise I'd sometimes have problems getting deep sleep.
Sent from my Moto X cellular telephone...
Dude, if you want to just increase battery life with Jedi, I'd say find Cl3kener's last 4.1.2 Tiberius Kernel and flash that. Install TricksterMod from the play store. From Trickster change your scheduler to bfq and your governor to Ondemand. Turn minimum CPU frequency down to 192. I also turn down my GPU max frequency down to 177, and my mpdecision idle_freq to 192. You should definitely some increase in your idle battery consumption. Unfortunately there's not much to do with active battery consumption like games and video .
I used that rom for 6 months...(I stopped using it, because I started to hate touchwiz), and I didn't have any problem. It's probably going to work for you too, but just in case, take a backup. (Remember that you have to install a custom recovery)

You had to say that I'll have a battery saving kernel for the gpe with a tweaked governer setup in a day or two to try out. The goal being to not lose power, right? Well, we'll see!
Shortly after, If I get it right, Bob will probably put it in the v500 if there are no conflicts. I'm going for 20-25% savings. Eh.
Typically my screen will consume about 93% of the battery.
Will a rom or kernel be able to save 20~25% on the screen consumption, or only 20~25% of the remaining 7% ?

Cool! The changes are slight, but should be very effective. I didn't want to lose any power.
Let me know how it works!
Okay, here's the scoop.
I have used 5 hours of screen on time with 43% of my battery left!
This was a mixture of Facebook, kindle, and dolphin. The screen is using 90%, at about 55% brightness average.
Given these variables, I figure to get at least 7.5 hours out of a charge.
Here's the even better news. The 88sleektweaks has made my tablet response BETTER than without, and can easily tweak this toward more battery in the future. Without a doubt.
I can see getting 9 hours out of this with no feeling of slowing down before I am through. Yeah, that good!
I have to stop where I am now though in order to test another kernel.
Anyway, that is a two hour improvement over what I was getting,... With better/faster response from my tablet.
Is it not required to go through a few charging cycles before battery stats start being accurate?

Not bad, 7 hours screen on time with 10% left on battery. Mostly Facebook and Dolphin browser. Also keep tablet talk on all the time, and make sure all my notifications are active.

I can't say yet as I encountered issues with android system and android os using up battery. As I installed your tweaks as well as starting using greenify at the same time I made the (wrong I think now) choice of removing your tweaks.
But it now looks like greenify (or at least my going nuts and hibernating every thing ) is the problem.
So for now I've reset greenify and will monitor it overnight.
Once I'm happy with that I'll reintroduce your script

I doubt it uses much if anything. Sometimes when I haven't used the tablet all I have to knock 4 times instead of 2. LG's stock roms are better than samsung's stock roms. You could always try one of the aosp roms as a test comparison. My tablet was idle with LG's stock rom and bob's kernel for 1 day and 14 hours and I only lost 5% battery life no radios (bt/wifi/gps) were left on.

You would need to build a kernel for stock 4.4.2 that has init.d support. You would start with the LG kernel source, get the source to build and then try to incorporate Sleekmason's changes that he has done for the GPE device into the V500 kernel. This would involve carefully looking at his tweaks and applying what is needed for the governor and init.d support into the stock kernel. Once you have built a kernel like this and it is ready to install. Then you need to root your device and you would need to install a custom recovery so you can flash the new kernel. The installation instructions would be different from what Sleekmason does since the GPE device has an unlocked boot loader.
When I was trying to do a custom kernel on 4.2.2 I found that my resulting kernel from LG source didn't match the installed kernel on my device. This bothered me and I wanted to make sure I understood the differences before proceeding. This combined with real life getting in the way (my wife is expecting) caused me to shelve the project.
I believe I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. However I'm now running 4.4.2 so my efforts are not useful to me other than to help me if I decided to attempt a 4.4.2 kernel.
