Hi, i am running the CM6 final version. and my battery life isn't too great... so i was wondering what would be the steps i could take to a better battery life. well i wanted to start with finding a good kernel that offers superior battery life with decent or higher perfomance. please post any recommendations you have.
Best you search for it buddy because douches on here are going to freak out at you for not searching. There are post everywhere regarding battery life.

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.

Hi I am a bit fuzzed by my device's stats. I mean, the phone has good to bad battery life, thanks to the alarms and wakelocks that bugs my phone. Attached are screenies from BBS.
BP 4.0.3 UNOFFICIAL 11/7 build from @dave71670 + Open Gapps 11/13 micro + WK#5 reloaded + for F240x
I like opinions from @ShadySquirrel , @nerdyblonde , and @Emmanuel U
If you're having bad battery life, you may want to look in other areas. According to those screenshots, not much is bogging your phone as it's getting a lot of deep sleep. Do you have an old battery?

Yup. My batteries the ones included on the phone when I bought it.
As a matter of fact, I also suspect my batteries are the ones causing trouble. They are 2 years old.
And yet it still has decent performance for what a bench proves..lol

My battery heats up pretty quick when playing games like World of Warriors, Mortal Kombat X, Magic 2015, etc.
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.

Try VertexOS.. You wont feel a stutter and I'm not joking.. Als it scales way more efficient because of EAS. It delivers a near stock experience

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.

Hi, could you please direct me to some more information about this EAS feature?
I see these terms a lot when kernels are being discussed to save battery life, can these two be used together? What are the differences? Thanks in advance for any information.

You really can't compare these to but.
AKT basically is changing kernel tunables in such matter that it saves battery or increases peformance depending on which the profile is ment for.. The problem is that everyone has a different usage pattern and everyone's definition of smooth and battery is different... For some Project Zhana can be really efficient and smooth while for me it is efficient/battery friendly but not as smooth.
EAS basically replaces the whole HMP part which almost every device runs now (HMP). EAS is quite new and quite experimental but really stable, you really won't notice it is experimental. EAS is a bit hard to explain for me. But if you are looking for a good user experience and the best battery life with it I would suggest you trying VertexOS.
Now correct me if I'm wrong I'm not a ****ing genius at this!

Awesome! Thank you very much for the info, I understand it much better now
In my experience, I get better battery life a balanced profile on AKT (fusion balanced) on OOS. But performance is amazing on Vertex! And battery life isn't terrible, although not as good as on OOS, and it is still very usable.

Thanks for the insight! I currently have the official Resurrection Remix ROM for my 3T with the latest EX kernel. Battery has been inconsistent for me even with the Wakelocks blocked and a mainly black theme, but I think it has to do with the weaker signal as opposed to OOS. I assume there is a way to apply these AKT profiles in the EX kernel app and have them apply after every reboot? I would prefer to stay with Ressurection over Vertex because it already has almost every feature available, and it would be much more convenient than flashing a different ROM each time for a new feature I wanted lol (since there is no Xposed for nougat)

Isn't terrible? It's much better....Better battery than oos or any other nonEAS rom...try it your self...give the battery three charging cycles and enjoy.....

See the link posted by @juliusedward.
ELI5: Basically, EAS and HMP are way to manage tasks in a multi-core processor. HMP requires a lot a guess work and experience to get it right. EAS is, Well, smart! It gets cpu utilization and load information using WALT/PELT (it's a new topic entirely. Think of them like a function, which they honestly are.) and decides which core is perfectly suited for the current given task and at what frequency. So, it is in it's nature to be more efficient and more battery friendly. Although, through lots of tweaking and optimization in HMP kernels it's not that bad either.
I run VertexOS.
EAS seems offer better battery life, same smoothness, and less warm !

Try Blu spark kernel. It's my favorite kernel in terms of performance and battery life. I can get 6-7hrs screen on time consistently over 24 hours on LTE and wifi. Performance is butter smooth. And when I mean butter smooth, I mean no frame drops, no microstutters, pure 60fps smoothness. Something not a single AKT profile can provide without destroying the battery life so I wouldn't recommend them, and yes I've tried every single profile. FlashKernel is also a really nice kernel but you need to tweak the stock governor settings to get nice performance.
Haven't tried EAS, but supposedly it does its job well, very well so you can also try that out. Try vertex it has been getting high praises.
@slamdunksaliby
Please check this post here
I think it is safe to presume that it answers your question to a great considerable extent.
Hope it helps.

P.S. AKT profiles cannot be applied on EAS, not yet.

Hi I tried Blu spark for a little on sultanized resurrection remix ROM, and the battery life doesn't seem to be very good, specifically with standby as sultan's kernel seems to handle it better, are you using the stock settings or are you underclocking? What ROM are you using with the kernel? Thanks!

Dont blame the kernel if you have standby drain.
I also use bluspark with freedomos ce and i nearly have zero battery drain over night.
If you have too much standby drain its some third party apps, services or something that keeps your phone awake.

You won't see much difference between kernels regarding idle drain. It's 99% apps related.

Thats what i was trying to say
Hello,
The battery of my OnePlus 3 has to be fully charged to survive a day. I want to keep my phone as performance, camera and display are still fine and new phones have so many downsides somehow (no headphone jack, weird notch situation, high SAR values, oversized,..).
What are my options to extend the battery life?
- replace the battery with a OnePlus 3T battery?
- which custom kernel or custom rom do you suggest?
- other suggestions?
Currently i am on the Pie community beta. Battery life has gotten worse when i updated, i can tell you that. My personal preference for the next OS would be a privacy-focused OS.

Have a go at the skydragon ROM it's normally very good with battery but for more privacy focused you'd have to flash lineage with no gapps and use alternatives from f-droid or yalp store for things like playstore and messaging etc...

Thank you for the answer. I've heard of both Skydragon and Lineage OS. I was hoping for something like LineageOS with a battery-saving Kernel (I've no experience with flashing kernels).

@orawnnd
I wouldn't advise a 3T battery. It may create issues. In addition, the 3 and 3T batteries were likely manufactured a couple of years back and sitting on the shelf all this time. So they may deteriorate fast. Still a better option than going for 3rd party batteries.
Regarding ROMs, the OOS Pie Open Beta has been excellent in all respects, including battery drain, for me. May be a clean flash and not restoring apps will make a difference for you.
As for SkyDragon, I was using it for sometime and it was also excellent in all respects. But, of late, there are complaints of unexplained battery drain in its thread, not for all but atleast for some. I have not tested LOS in my OP3 though I run it in my N4. Again excellent results.

This is true. Settled on LOS after trying all other roms, they had explainable battery drain issues with time. Even tho, I don't see a plus in battery saving on LOS. Battery performance is "OKAY". LOS is just smoother.
IMHO stock is the best for battery. :good:
I recommend you install accubattery from the play store( free app) and check your battery health before you decide on a battery change. It also lets you see how much the battery has degraded over time. My OnePlus 3 is currently at 86% life

1. Replacing OP3 with OP3T battery won't work. This is debunked already - don't try it.
2. Sadly your only options:
a) Replace battery with new one.
b) Flash custom ROM onto your phone. Read comments about latest build on every ROM thread - people point out things like battery life etc. e.g. SkyDragon latest build seems to have battery issues (people reporting it in comments).
c) Power bank. Really. Things like this is also an option, but I don't see any on ebay for OP3.
I'm ordered a battery for my op3,this battery it's for op3t,in about a month I will tell you how it's it.

Have you got anything important on the device
use any custom kernel that supports cpu frequency changing. Underclock cpu to 60%(bit cluster have huge impact on battery) when you dont heavily use your op3/t . You will notice significant battery improvement.
