Battery better with stock rom over LP? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it just me, or do others find the battery life in a stock-based kitkat rom much better than the lollipop roms? I've tried both on my VS985 and the battery with Eclipse G3 is just awesome. It's so much better than the LP roms I've tried like Illusion and crDroid, using basically the same apps/mail, etc. I mean the battery life is so different, there must be a reason because I've read of others who say the LP roms reduce the battery life.

Stock TW based ROMs vs AOSP - battery comparison

For those that have tried AOSP based ROMs and kernels for Note 3, how has the battery life compared to TW ROMs? I know "Android System" probably doesn't use 25% of battery as is the case for TW Roms usually. Whether the battery usage % lines up for not, it doesn't really matter as I don't really have an issue with battery life on TW ROMs, I'm just curious.

I believe that a stock AOSP kernel help to improve the battery a lot more... or compulsion 12 for the note 3 touchwiz

I have used both AOSP and touchwiz and for the most part, the touchwiz roms have SLIGHTLY better battery life. Starting out, AOSP was dreadful in battery drain but the latest builds in various roms in combination with the latest versions of certain kernels (temesek,lean,etc) have brought the battery lives much closer. They both have the potential to sleep like babies, and you can get great varying battery lives.

Which ROM has the best battery life for you?

I want to start a poll and a discussion thread, also to help new users (and old users) to decide which ROM to use, if long battery life is the top priority in their choice of ROMs.
I myself have only used STOCK 4.1.2 JB, and STOCK 4.4.2 KK (E988), and I have tested both enough to convince myself that Stock 4.1.2 does have better standby battery life than stock kitkat.
But for the sake of greater completeness, I will include 2 more options in the poll: 4.4.2 Variants, and non-Kitkat Variants.
So based on your experience, which ROM has the best standby battery life for you?

In comparison to kk roms, I think stock jb is better in this regard. I would be curious to know how much better you found it in comparison to stock kk?

Based on battery monitor widget, I averaged 4.6%/hr drain on JB ROM, 6.9%/hr drain on KK ROM. Medium use through a typical day.
I'm getting decent battery on this kk that I've been using for the last four or five days.
People know I'm cynical about everything, and with that in mind, I think this Rom is better than others for battery life.

Yes but usually JBs have better battery life than KKs. (On the Note 2, this was much more obvious. And many of the custom KK have horrible battery life, both on the Note 2 and the OGP.)
I ran the stock JB on my phone and it was not too bad but this KK is somewhat better battery. I'm not saying that its mind blowing better, just a little bit.
The best battery life on any device I've ever held was the LG G2 running stock JB 4.1.2. Unbelievable.

Battery life...

So I haven't seen ANY custom roms at all that have better battery life then the stock 4.1.2 or 4.4.2, even with madmacks modem. I kinda thought that was one of the main points of rooting and using a custom Rom is for improved battery life in comparison to the stock firmware. Why is it so difficult to achieve that on this phone? with my last 2 phone (s3 and G2x) the custom roms almost always had better battery life then the stock provider image. I hate using the provider firmware, but it kinda feels like there's no real choice because of the battery life.

New to the LG G3 D851

What are some good custom roms for battery life ive used carbon which was decent currently using resurrection remix for my d851 and the battery life is okkk I think stock is a tad better... Just wanted to here some opinions on battery life and custom roms which one you users prefer...?

Improving battery life?

Hi guys,
I have a SM-T705 with 5.0.2 insralled
besides tweaking the settings etc. is there a specific firmware, rom etc. that improves battery life?
My tab is rooted as well.
Thanks in advance
using greenify will probably help you.
MM is better for battery life, based on my use and experience with my t705w, than LP 5.0.2 TW with greenify. Pick whatever AOSP/CM flavor you like, it's all pretty much the same for battery performance.
