Battery consumption - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I know better than to ask what is the best rom out there because there really is never a good answer for that.
However does anyone have any input as to what rom is really stable with all normal functions of the phone working ( preferably a build that is considered stable) and has a good battery life? I really like rom's with status bar tweaks ( normally even if its a very customizable rom its all i fool around with)

Thank you very much. Looks like carbon is probably the winner with the BMS kernel.

What ROM for my girlfriend? (stable, reliable, great battery life)

Hello everybody.
I've rooted and modded the Samsung Galaxy W of my girlfriend but now i'm facing a lot of strange battery issues: the battery drains really fast and she hates it.
I've tried CM9 RC6 and SlimBean but the problem is still here. I've got no time to waste on trying 20 ROMs so i'm asking you a suggestion.
She was really excited about the stock ROM. It was fair enough for her, apart from the bloatware that couldn't be uninstalled and some random reboots and freeze.
So, i'm searching for something like that:
Great battery life
Stable and reliable ROM
Possibly CM based or AOSP
In my opinion, a CyanogenMod 7 would be great, but i can't find it for the SGW.
Could you please help me?
Thank you!

Slim-3.1.0 Ancora 12/06/12 Unoffical with standard kernel (or with Fofivo as the other user said). Noted!
I'll wait for more suggestions before wiping and flashing again. I wanna be sure this time..

Stock one is awesome and better battery life
And if you want more ram use forfivo but battery life will be less than with stock one
What about those ones?

from those 3 links i prefer aosp..and without mods..for launcher just use nova/apex..
and for my suggestion try cm9rc7..
Sent from my GT-I8150 using Tapatalk 2
My honest advice:
Do not consider anything except Stock ROM with Value Pack or CM9.
Its not that those other coders are not talented. But - it's like with those small, heavily tuned / modified Honda Civics driving around: Their owner / creators and other enthusiasts love them for their custom mods, but you really could/would not give such a car to your girldfirend, mother, or whatever.
sooner or later you run into problems that will never be fixed, nothing for daily usage by a non-IT-person.
With beta 6, i guess you mean RC6?
Battery lasting, the missing fm radio and a sometimes not-100%-stable camera would be the only drawbacks i see for it.
Performance and overall fluidity is at least one class over the stock rom, really remarkable.
Maybe there will be better battery performancee with CM9 in the future, as it is not really clear atm, what causes the impacts.
But i think its unlikely that it will ever reach the Stock ROM under this aspect, as the new features are simply likely to consumer more cpu cycles then before.

CM9 RC6 was actually my first choice, because a friend of mine is using it without any problem. Anyway, i've experienced the huge battery drain even with CM9 RC6.
I can give a try to CM9 RC7 but i'm wondering: wouldn't it be better to choose a ROM with the 2.x kernel?

Yes, i meant RC6, sorry.
Sadly, battery performance is crucial for my girlfriend. Anyway, i just want a "normal" battery drain; what i'm experiencing is a very massive battery drain, totally abnormal.
Would you suggest me a Stock ROM with Value Pack? Maybe it's the better choice...
for me battery drains so fast because of to many apps..just install apps only for daily use..
yeahh i can see some of us back to 2.6..
rc7 impress me..see the ss..with stock battery(old one)..

I think the same but she's just like 20 apps, Pinterest, Instagram, GoogleReader, Dolphin, GMail, and stuff like this.
Regarding your screenshot, 17% left after 10 hours is not so great.
This is her phone now:
Can i install a 2.x kernel on CM9 RC7?
like i told you before..i use my old battery and stock 3.0kernel rc7..my battery usually last no longer than 5-6hrs..
you got 16hrs..that better than mine..
if you want 2.6 kernel i think it is better to install cm9 rc2..

5 - 6 hours? How can you use the phone? You can't even go outside for a dinner that you have to charge your phone.
Do you mean that you actively use the phone for 6 hours or what?

[Q] Which ROM to choose for good battery?

So, I'm looking for a ROM that basically gives me better battery life for daily use. I found myONEv and Shpongle which I like, however, I'm not sure which one is better to use? I'd like to have GPS, WiFi, camera and sound working flawlessly (I've heard that Shpongle limits camera to 3MP?), is that possible with both of the ROMs?
Thanks in advance!

Shpongle has 5MP camera if you use thrid-party one. For battery life, it's all on personal opinion, so try them out for yourself and see.

Well, the unmodified stock ROM gives me about a day with battery levels around 8-9 % each evening, can I reasonably expect any of the two ROMs to give me more battery life?

[Q] Need help with my VZW Galaxy Nexus!

Hey Guys!
I have a VZW Galaxy Nexus rooted and running on CM 10.2 (Have no clue what kernel it's running). The phone is great but i'm having a lot of issues. My battery life is very very bad! I know the phone's battery already is terrible as is but mine is really bad. It's becoming more and more slugglish. I barely have any ram free.
My question is what do ya'll suggest is the best ROM, Kernel, etc for me to have on it. I know its off of preference but what i'm looking for is an increase in performance overall. There is a lot ROMs and Kernels out there but I just don't which ones are the best to use. I've thought of a lot of things but don't know what I should do. Under-volt the CPU? Change the kernel? Run a lighter ROM? Basically what ever it takes to get my phone running like most of the newer phones till my contract is over lol. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks,
Alex
The best combination I found prior to getting my new phone is Shiny rom and leankernel

I ran aokp milestone (4.2.2) and either franco or AK. Right now on faircts PA 3.99 with franco. Unless you know what you're doing with kernels, I find franco to be an easy/good kernel to run that requires no tweaking. Also, disabling halo helps lag/speed
I accidently posted it in the wrong section so I posted it in the right section and didn't know how to remove it.

I'm not huge in halo and PIE which is why I like aokp better than paranoid but since aokp is still on 4.2.2 ....
that being said, I like fairct's a lot. It's quite fast with franco (couldn't get golden to play nicely) and is usually smooth though I have to reboot every few days (standard for me). I tried a few other 4.3s and I definitely think fairct's is the best thus far. I also really like the cm-10 file manager which you can get on aokp but I can't seem to get it on paranoid.
I'll move onto aokp and/or illusionrom once it gets to 4.3 (illusionrom can't get the home button working...kinda dealbreaker) since I don't really care for halo. I'm using halo now but it's not doing much for me

[Q] Opinions for Custom Rom with good battery life and performance

Hello everyone,
first post since I got a Note 2... and I really like this phone... people seem to have a laugh at me since it is on a larger side, but then I have my own laughs when i see them trying to properly view web pages etc...
I have decided to go the custom Rom way, however, I would like some help.
I would like to have a decent ROM which gives good battery life and decent performance....my usage is pretty normal, email, Facebook, browsing, etc, not much games... so the ROM does not need to be performance oriented.
Any tips please on where to start... Tried searching here, but got a bit mixed up...
I like the stock looking TW Roms and would like Snote and the basic stuff such as calendar etc..
also which kernel would be suggested with this ROM.
Any help will be appreciated I know that I will have to try some ROMS to see which is best, however any help will save me a lot of flashing ROMS, kernels etc..... I know that usage is dependant on user patters etc, but some direction will be appreciated.
Many thanks to all...

You must have misunderstood me...
I want opinions on a custom rom (with all the benefits of a custom rom) that gives good battery life... not one which improves battery life...
been flashing many roms so far and all of them are good and yea battery life depends on your usage, before i use aosp rom specially slimbean, the only reason i use aosp because it doesn't have any lag for me, not for games but generaly everything. even i use stock and rooted samsung rom i got lag wheb browsing even just the settings when sliding it down and even the gallery and messaging, it's just a slight lag. but after trying omega v18 rom it doesn't have and im surprise coz i dont have to use aosp rom with some minor bug and now im happy using samsung custom rom with no lag and enjoying all stock features. so battery is not a problem really on our note 2 just pick whatever that gives better performance. but whatever it's your personal taste on what rom do you want.

cheers... will also try the ROM you mentioned... and thanks... it has to be a TW Rom ideally as i like the interface.... plus some of the samsung apps I use, so will to have those....
its normal to be concerned about battery life
amongst stock sammy roms the battery performance is also going downhill unfortunately, MG1 being the worst,
taking cue from tamirda i went for mf2 and the best one i feel was the chinese release, but it has chinese bloat and no play store,
its malaysian version is defintely one for keeps
me6 is also better than mg1
i like to root with cf auto -root and use xposed framework for customisation so i can stay on an odexed rom.....
tamirdas mf2 custom rom v13 will give a good combination of customisations, rooted deodexed experiences and battery life.
i wish someone would make a rom on the chinese mf2
i also love aosp and its looks and features but battery wise -- well im still testing with various kernel/rom combinations on 4.3
If you have a 7105. Then I'd recommend Jedi x17 with the newest saber kernel. Battery for me is better than stock. It also comes with nice eye candy and a lot of built in goodies.

[Q] Which ROM to install on S4 Mini GT-I9195?

Hello!
I've repaired this phone for a friend of mine, but refuse to let her use it further with the stock OS messing up her phone's battery life.
So, I went ahead and installed CM 12.1, however, it isn't really performing that well. And I've read around on the net that it causes battery drain, openGapps also doesn't seem to be playing nicely together with it.
Either way, my question is. Which version of Cyanogenmod should I be using to let this phone reach its true performance and battery life? I'm also open for other ROM suggestions besides CM, though I'm most familiar with it.
Thanks a lot guys!
I recomend try Ressurection Remix 5.7.4 build 20161009
I use it now and it configurable, perfectly smooth, and also battery friendly ROM

Lag isn't really the issue, it's more about which ROM will het me the best battery life in the end. Preferably CM.
