[Q] ROM+Kernel with Best Battery Life - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, whats the best ROM+kernel with an unbeatable battery life.
Performance, lag,quality - no, they just dont matter..
All I want is my phone to make it out through the day with mins of charging on intervals.
Unfortunately, it only survives 5 hrs (calling and texting) with the CM11+F4k latest kernel
PS. Its a i9192. But throw in your opinion anyway, so others can know what ROMs the best for their model.

You have 2 options for kernels on CM6 besides the stock kernel.
1. Snap - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733099
2. KingxKernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773058
I'm currently running Snap. The best way for you to find out what's best for you is to try it (Snap or KingxKernel) out.
The cm 6 kernel is all you need. I'm getting 14 hours.

I've already answered your question with my post above. Right now those are your only options unless you want to stick to CM6 stock.

in your opinion, which one gives you greater battery life. i just flashed kingx... the description of it said it was based around "superior battery life" and snap looked like it was based on shear performace. and if i should go with snap. which version would be the best for daily use and good battery life.
I for one am getting fantastic standby battery life with king's kernel and pretty decent in use battery life. Didn't get this good until about the third full cycle.
To be more specific, my phone has been in standby almost the entire day and after 11 hours 45 minutes I am at 86% battery life. I have had push gmail (mail, contacts), facebook syncing (only once daily though), running on my wifi all day, and sent/received a few text messages.

[Q] BEST COMPILATION OF ROM/RADIO/KERNEL for LONG BATTERY LIFE

Hi
Im going to summer camp and I can be long time without power. So I need best rom, kernel, and maybe radio for my Desire hd. I need rom with camera. Plz tell me wich compilaton have best battery life.
My 1st post, sorry for my bad english
In before someone scolds you for not searching
Radio is subjective to area.
A rom with great battery life without changing anything could be either black ice or gb rd miui. Both are close in battery life, and from all the roms miui has the best cam in my opinion.
Unless you are willing to buy a cam from the market.
Your best option is to test a few roms out for a few days. Get additional batteries cause no rom will go beyond a day with heavy use. On standby you would get two days, maybe more.
Edit: however I've seen some screenshots here and there of people with crazy bat stats. A few, but there are a few.
You can also look into v6 supercharger, there may be something there for you.
Sent from a dream.
I use Cyanogenmod 7.2.0-RC2 with LordModUE 8.9b7-CFS kernel, and it has a really great battery life.
My radio is 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
I have set cpu governer to smartassv2, with min frequence to 122MHz and max to 1152MHz.
With these settings, the ROM runs smoothly without any lag, and I get about 24h of battery life if I use the phone normally: music (2h), call (1h), internet (?), GPS+Endomondo app (~1h30), Wifi (1h)

[Q] Which ROM for best battery life?

I'm currently on TeamNVDRU CM10 Nightly from the 1st. Battery is at 34% after 9 hrs off charge and 1hr 6min screen on time.
I have tried all underclock, undervolt, battery life tips i can find and the best i can get is about 14hrs on this rom.
I even asked HTC for the price to install the 2100mAH battery in the phone... they came back with $160 which for a 15% boost isn't worth it.
Therefore I am asking the community, which is the best rom for battery life? Sense roms and stock included.
I'm also wondering if there is an app that can collect battery life stats and post them to the web, sort of like antutu but for battery instead of 3d performance. Does such a thing exist? It would be useful for this phone.
My usage profile:
Listening to music ~45 mins each way from work
Gmail push for priority inbox
Microsoft Exchange sync once a day while on charger
Talkbox for communicating with workmates
Viber for texting/calling my girlfriend
Facebook push disabled, notifications disabled
Underclock to 1200, Undervolt -125
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Its well known that AOSP roms' battery is generally lower than sense roms...so if u want a proper battery life...try one of the sense roms...hasnt disappointed me...nearly same set of requirements for me and it has not failed..!! I am using AHRD which is quite good..also try ViperX roms...read a lot about it being real good..!! but havent had the time to try it out myself..!! but generally ARHD or ViperX can help u with ur usage...give them a try and try for like ~1week b4 u come to a conclusion...What i do is to wipe out battery stats when i install a new rom so that the battery is calibrated with the new rom..!!
Hope it helps..!!

I know people still do it but wiping batt stats its pointless. It's been proven it has zero effect

use Blade rom with no-frils app and set cpu to 860 , lasts for one and a half day with regular usage ......
Honestly ?? Stock rom got best battery life. I used Renovate and ARHD, they don't reach even a half of stock lifetime.
I am on TripNDroids releases now for a time (since 017 I guess) and I must say, the battery life is fair. I use my phone often for WhatsApp and surfing/playing around and one battery charge lasts for one day. Although I have set the screen brightness almost to the minimum.
I've tried a few ROMs, but it's the kernels that are making the difference for me, i'd try viperx with faux ultimate kernel if you want good battery life.
And do try repacking the kernel boot.img with the one from the ROM using the repacking tool on the dev section.

ROM for best battery life?

Hi, I'm currently running PA ROM on my GS3. For those of you who don't know, it's pretty much a CM10 ROM with Hybrid/Tablet Mode. I get around 12 hours out of a battery on a school day w/full brightness on. I'd say that's only about average battery life. I have multiple batteries so this doesn't worry me much. But I still want to get the most I can out of my battery. Any kernel or ROM suggestions to maximize battery performance?
(I prefer Stock UI and don't play many games at all. I pretty much have Temple Run 2 and COD Black Ops and I play COD maybe once a month)

What ROM has the best performance and greatest battery life depends on its user. You will probably not get the answer you are looking for by asking this question here. To find the ROM that will best suit your needs, you will need to go around looking at ROMs and flashing them. Make sure not to just determine a ROM's battery life by running it for a couple hours. It is a good idea to run a ROM for a couple days before you judge its performance. Most ROMs claim to have the best battery life, and they all do have the best battery life, it just depends on your usage! Good luck!

I had this old Hero about 3-4 years ago. That thing was a DOG. It ate through a fully charged battery. Even though i had as much bloat removed as possible. To make matters worse i was constantly going in and out of service with my job as i was constantly driving.
For the origional hero i had so many freaking Roms to try out it was crazy.....
To find the best way to test battery life. what i did was i spent a day, and i downloaded my top 3 roms, and turned my screen on. I timed it at 100% battery life and left my screen at 100%.
I then did the same test, but i ran a stress test on each rom.
And finally i ran each rom, and i kept a phone call connected to my work phone. (free nights and weekends)
Turned out on all three tests the same rom had the longest battery life.
Thats how i tested my old hero. If you are dedicated enough you could try the same.
OP, it's hard to say due to everyone using phone differently, do a search and you'll see many of these threads that are gone and buried because there is no definate answer. YMMV on any rom. So try a few see what works for you.. There's FAQ thread in my sig check it out.
Rule 1 states to search before posting. It will reveal a long list of closed threads and the reason in every one. They are all the best.

Best rom for battery life?

Hey guys, been trying a few roms lately and haven't settled on which rom offers the best battery life. I'm looking for one using the 1.40 firmware. Thanks tons
it's all dependant on your usage, you're kernel and how you've set it up.
One person may have great battery life with one rom and another person with the same rom may have awful battery life.
However i myself have only used Viper as im still new with htc but its worked great for me. I use my phone mainly for internet usage (Email, facebook, messenger, browsing, streaming, music) and from full charge its lasted me 1D 12H 6M with 20% left with moderate usage. Heavy usage I imagine it would get me to through a full day easily and then just charge overnight.

As the previous user has said it depends on a few things.
Your needs
Your usage
Your apps
Your demands
Your habits
Your mods
Your preferences and settings.
Once you have all these, you'll probably find that most ROMs perform quite similar to each other.
Once you've tweaked one ROM perform your tweaks on all of them, only you will know..a vs battle between ROMs is impossible for anyone to tell you, you have to see for yourself, kind of like the matrix.
