Is stock ROM less battery drain??

Which rom is the best [for battery life] between these one??
- cyanogenmod
- miui
- stock ics
All with the ultima kernel from riyal.

For me its KA21 with Arcknight 3.3 Stock Kernel.
Really smooth, better battery than i experienced stockwise...

try ICS_anzu_KTG tuned_V1.41: governor interactiv

actually battery drain more depends on the kernels..for best battery life stock kernel is the best

Guys note that lad has Pro not Arc. Stock is usually the worst, or better - default gauge for custom ROMs. I've been watching cyanogenmod discussion for a while, usually users feedback on battery life varied from version to version; for tweaked versions can be said that battery life is the same as in stock while the performance is 20% better. I don't know about MIUI.
(Out of your question, the best for battery life are Ultima ROM and Buttermilk ROM which are optimized for battery life and battery life is notably better there; with Buttermilk and low usage you can do as much as 4 days without charging - worth for outdoor trips. Ultima ROM when idle eats like 0,6% per hour.)

Stock rom with stock kernal had the best battery life... but also lags the most.
I recomend arconium ICS with stock kernal for a balaced experiance...!!!

Well if you game a lot compared to someone who doesn't then obviously ones battery will last longer than the other, so there's a few factors that can be taken into account in regards to battery life.

well my method of testing battery drain(i guess everybody tests the same way) is only on standby..how much time does it take to move 1% down when the phone is not touched for an hr or 2...in exceptional cases battery will drain fast while using 3G in one kernel but lil slow on other kernel..
again my point is kernel is more responsible for battery life of the phone rather than a ROM..

Then you need to take syncing into account, if yours is on and mine is off on the same kernel then yours may drian a bit quicker than mine, which goes back to my point of how a user uses their Phone. I don't think it's a black and white issue.

yea dude.. i get it..my point was simple..people were talking about best roms for battery life.. i just said kernel plays an important role in deciding that..that was my only point..i wasnt arguing with anyone..and testing of battery drain at standby means with data off,bluetooth off, gps off..hence syncing of account wont come into picture

I'm not arguing, just trying to make a point also.

Yes I know and sorry, the last two ROMs I was refering to are GB. However, Riyal is working on Ultima ICS ROM and it already exists in alpha version! See this post with download link Hopefully the ROM will have similar advantages as has GB Ultima ROM over GB stock ROM, which means better battery life, better wi-fi reception, improved camera and so on.

I did that when I had iPhone 4.

im using cm7.2 latest release alvays, i also have an app set cpu and i set my governor to scary, min freq 145 mhz, and max 1024, and im using profiles for apps that im using most of time (underclock cpu while using that apps)
with that i have at least 40% better battery life
and, yes, u can downgrade using flashtool

So far Arcknight kernel has quite the reputation for good battery life. IMO, for roms i find CM9 from FreeXperia project quite awesome but then there's an issue with the battery stats and brightness for now so wait for the next release i guess. for GB try arconium 8.2. still mostly its based on kernel and also the governor.

Hey friend, how do you do that? I dont ahve that option.
I remember i had on my other phone.
Im running the newest version. Should I change my device??

What option are you referring to?

2.3.6 or 4.0 ROM for the best battery life? (Wonder)

I used rebel rom and it's great (2-4 days).Even if overuse it it lasts 35-40 hours.But it's touch sensitivity sucks. (for example : When i touch the screen to go to another part of the menu it seems like i'm trying to run an application.I mean it looks like it's highlighted)
So what are suggestions for good battery life and touch sensitivity? (except rebel rom)

Well I never got 2-4 days with any ROM. Stock ROM (2.3.6) usually lasted full day and a half of use and I had to charge it accordingly. With CM10 I get pretty much the same battery life I got from STOCK rom. (Of course I am using Deep Sleep Battery Saver and Greenify). But I am not a heavy gamer (dont play games at all, may sudoku once in a while )
So they are the same to me.. But feature wise, I prefer CM10 of course..

The Stock Samsung ROM also for me only lasted 1, 1/2 up to 2 days. Now I´m Using Arcos CM9 RC2 and have to recharge it somwhere between 3 and 5 days. (depending on my usage)
I found Arcos 2.6.35 Kernel to be the most stable and battery friendly Kernel unlike the new 3.0 Kernel, where people are still reporting stability issues and some of us are having a high battery drain issue. So if you decide to try Arcos latest CM9 or CM10 and will get about the same battery life or worse than Samsungs Stock ROM, I would suggest to try CM9 RC2.
By using Arcos surces I even compiled my own 2.6.35 Kernel by just adding OC features and software Voltage control. With this Kernel I´m even able to run my phone at Extreme Undervolting settings rock solid.
There are even other custom Kernels you can use with RC2 or RC3, but for me they all didn´t run stable even at stock voltages due to all the tweaks in there. My SGW doesn´t like the additional tweaks. Especially the memory tweaks, though for others they seem to run stable.
That´s why I´m using now my own Kernel with OC and UV options but leaving the rest untouched. By undervolting the CPU it doesn´t last longer than I would keep the phone the whole time in DeepSleep, but it reduces the battery drain significantly when in use.

Wow 3 to 5 days is amazing. But I don't think I can give up CM10 . One and a half day is good enough for me. I had stability issues with CM9 RC5 and 6 with kernel 3 but those issues are not there in CM10 alphas I tried. I am on alpha 7 now and everything is in great working order.
And for a smartphone one and a half day is acceptable for my standards.

slimbean 4.1.2 may last more than 5 days too but the old version with 2.6 kernel

5days ? slimbean ? really ? can give me the link of that rom that ur using with our Wonder ? please ?

I think 5 days is about the max you can reach. But to reach this your phone need to be all the time in DeepSleep. So no calls, no WiFi, no MobileData, simply nothing. But in that case you also do not need a phone at all.
That´s also why I said somwhere between 3-5 days depending on my habbits.
For me the battery drain drops at night to somwhere between 5-8mA. Sometimes even to 2mA. I doubt the Slimbeam ROM can beat this as it also uses either Arcos 2.6 or 3.0 Kernel.
All the custom ROMs out there are basing on Arcos Kernels and work. Simply said they are still Arcos ROM´s with a modified or a different User Interface. Some are more battery freindly and some are less because of the background processes that are keeping the phone unnecessary active. But regarding DeepSleep the battery drain is depending on Arcos Kernel and how well the DeepSleep mode is tuned in this Kernel.

So pretty much the same like with Arcos RC2 and it´s 2.6 Kernel.

you mentioned smartassv2 kernel on K2.6. Where can i get it? i've flashed Slimbean, but i can't undervolt and can't choose any other kernel

You can get the Kernel here. download "kernel-JB-V2-NORMALMEM-2.6.35-06-12-12" and flash in recovery.

Thanks. Btw, is this my imagination or is the camera quality compared to CM9 poor on Slimbean?

Tips for optimize (best perfomance and less battery drain) in Galaxy Nexus

Hi there, I'm using CM11 nighties and it miss some things yet (due to development process tough) but it's the best ROM I tried so far. So here is my concern there is any tips/guide for optimize my phone Galaxy Nexus in order to get best perfomance and less battery drain? I tried to flash Mpokang Kernel but without success since I get a boot loop or my phone doesn't start so any guide or tips for saving battery time and get the best performance on this phone?

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.

Thanks!

I'm using Euphoria ROM with Nebula Kernel and i usually get around 16hrs with 4h SOT. Everything at performance profile... So i guess i could archieve more in a Battery Kernel profile, i noticed Batt life its better for me in AOSP than Stock or Stock-Based...

For me on VS985 with Telsa custom Rom and Nebula Kernal I get about 3 hours SOT a day over a period of about 16 hrs

Here is mine, so much depends on apps that one uses, screen brightness etc.

I use pure stock CM 12.1, no 3rd party kernel. I do the usual tweak of not syncing Google service I do not use. I also do not use the Facebook app.
Edit:
Yesterday I went back to rooted stock, just for a change. SOT is not as good as CM for me, maybe 5 hours of SOT.

which rom for oneplus 3 has best battery life and performance

Please tell me which rom is overall gud for oneplus 3. Checking all the rom ia not possible for me it takes lot of time and i m really disappointed form oxygen os 4.0.3 it drain lots of battery please suggest me a rom with good battery life and performance i dont care much about customization

Iam afraid there is really nothing that can help you (or others like me..). I have tried allot of ROMS and they all result in somewhat the same result.
1 charge 1 day (or almost 1 day) Does not matter if i use custom kernel battery improvement tools or "special" tips and tricks at the end of the afternoon iam still running low. I know i use my phone ALLOT and i use allot of connectivity (WIFI, 3/4G, BT) that is properly the issue, but still its sad that the only thing that might help is buying the oneplus3T.

If you want to stick to MM then go for Sultan's CM & if you want to upgrade to N then go for Resurrection Remix. Both ROM's stock kernels have new good battery life but in the camera part they are out numbered. Sultanxda has done best job by optimising the inbuilt camera app at par with stock OOS & also he gives security patch updates too as soon as they are released.
Resurrection Remix on other hand works great with Android N but has buggy camera due to buggy camera on LOS & we know that till now OnePlus has not released blobs so can't do anything.
All this is my personal preference. You can try out both our any other ROM's from development section like Cypheros or AOSP extended which are AOSP & LOS based or for for Freedom OS or Experience ROM which are OOS based.

I have around 7h SOT with latest freedomOS and bluspark kernel. In my eyes thats pretty good and carries me easily through the day. And light use even 2 days.
If you have any heavy battery drain you should search for the reason. Check wakelocks and logcat too find out whats wrong.

Well it has EAS.. Which means that the CPU can be really tamed.. Battery depends on standby but in my usage pattern I can easily get 4 hours SOT. I get an average drain of 13% per hour.
