Can anyone suggest me any battery friendly ROM? Currently I am using pixelexperience rom and the battery drains quite fast. Infact when I wake up in the morning, I find that the battery percentage has lowered by approx 20%.
Stock MIUI ROM is great. But I want to have a pure Android ROM.
The newest MIUI isn't great for battery. Try flashing Infinity Kernel.
Try DotOS. It looks great and good in performance. Battery is also not bad.

I'd like to hear some experiences that everyone is having on how the battery life is on the stock ROM (POST OTA, NOT OVERCLOCKED) vs custom ROMs (Again, NOT overclocked).
I've tried the Virtuous ROM, and as expected the battery life got slurped down like coca-cola! CM6.1 isn't as bad, but still seems to suck the life out of the battery quite a bit faster than stock.
Is everyone seeing similar? What makes the stock ROM so much better on the battery?
My experience was actually quite the opposite. When I switched to CM, my battery life improved by about 20-25%. I have a NAM Desire Z so it was running HTC Sense over Froyo.
Remember that it takes a few days of usage for your battery to 'calibrate' itself to the new ROM. My first two days on CM were really bad, but since then, battery life has improved greatly. Yesterday, after moderate use and 15 hours, I still had 45% of my battery left. With my stock ROM, I would be lucky to get 15 hours of use out of the phone period.
As far as overclocking goes, I haven't seen much of a difference in battery life. Reason is, even though you are overclocked when the screen is on, you can adjust settings to under-clock at other times, saving battery power.
I would recommend trying a Custom ROM for 4-5 days, that will give you a better idea about its battery life. Also, there are lots of settings you can tweak that affect battery life greatly. Widgets, background data, signal strength... SOO many variables in personal usage that battery life is going to fluctuate user to user regardless.
I'm on toroplus. Preferably Jellybean. Well here are the ROMs I've tried.
Black bean baked is causing extreme battery drains. Cleared battery stats and did a calibration and nothing.
I have a Hyperion Extended battery 3500mah and I am getting a battery of 50 minutes screen off/on.
Thanks and do not flame.
BAKED is causing battery drain? That way improved mine. Stock kernel. Try ru jellin. Basic stock, no mods but extremely awesome right out the gate
Stock

To be honest, kernels are all about same right now battery wise. It also depends on which ROM you use. I never tried Baked, so I can't recommend best kernel for that, but what I can say is, if you don't need color control, overclocking or anything like that, just go with Stock. It's most reliable kernel out there
If you do want extra features from the kernel, just try them all. Make sure that you use them for about a day or two for battery life.
Me personally am using AOKP nightly with Franco Kernel (Latest nightly), overclocked to 1.4GHz with stock battery (GSM) and still manage to get about 4.5 hours of battery life
Stock rooted.
What would be the best ROM for battery life? I'm using CyanogenMod atm and the battery life is decent. If I flash Android Rev. would I sacrifice battery life and if so by how much?

Battery usage is completely subjective so what will be awesome for one may be absolute crap to another. Only way you'll know is to try it yourself

As mentioned, battery life is completely up to your usage. Some steps to try though which can be used across any rom is to give Rom Cleaner a shot and to use Greenify. This will rid any rom of bloat that could be sucking up battery and better allow the device to enter deep sleep where the real battery savings are had.
A well optimized kernel would give you some savings as well. I can personally say that on ARHD 5.5 with Elemental kernel .15 I'm seeing about 70% battery left at the end of a normal day. For me though that may only be one 20 minute call and an hour of screen on time. Even when flashing and messing with tons of settings for hours, the phone has never reached a critical battery level for me. I
It's more about the way you optimize (or debloat) your phone , than the ROM you are running. Use battery monitors like GSam or Battery Drain Analyzer and freeze apps that are causing you huge drain. Greenify is also good. Ideally on the M8 you can expect around 6 hours of screen time if you're optimized correctly.

This. I am able to get about 6 hours on stock, ARHD and Insertcoin. With power saver on, that ends up around 7-8 hours of screen time. Coming from a Nexus 5 that got 4 hours typically, I'm pretty satisfied. I'm inclined to believe ARHD will get "slightly" better battery life than CM since it is based off the stock ROM on the M8.
Generally the OEM skinned roms have better battery life and benchmark scores opposed to aosp. Happens all the time on Sammy phones and HTC apparently too. Posts above mine cover most you'll need to know. Its all about optimization and frankly that part is extremely fun and especially rewarding IMO. Gives me an idea for something like a community made thread on different battery tweaks/voltages :good:

Thanks for all the feedback guys
I'm currently using Android Rev. 6.1 odexed (using ART atm) with ElementalX 0.10. I don't know if this is a placebo effect or not, but after flashing ElementalX(with default settings) my battery life seems worse :/
Hi
I recently using ressurection remix 5.5.9 lollipop update with xcelerete kernel . I am very satisfied with its hardware performance but the battery backup is not so good.. In standby mode it long lasts about 3-4 days but when heavy using or playing games it decreases abnormally if I play games about 1 hour or 2 it decreases from 100 % to 20% or sometimes 10 %..
How to solve it plzz help me I don't want to go back to stock ROM the battery performance was good on stock ROM..so why not here?? Please help me.....
Thats what you get with custom rom/kernels. The battery life is uneven and is less stable than stock. Some custom kernels overclock the gpu/cpu, so battery life will be even worse. Stock is always the best for stability and battery life is reasonable after some fixing to disable built in adware and stock apps.
In any case the Redmi 1s is bad for any sort of gaming because of the relatively power hungry soc.
So now what to do should I go back to stock miui 9 ?? Because I want good battery backup..!!!
I have the sm-t700, it is a great old tablet but the battery drain if terrible. I have tried the newest stock room along with the most current lineage and resurrection rooms. I haven't noticed much difference. Does anyone use one of the older rooms? What does everyone think the best room is for battery life?
If you have so terrible drain, you must look for battery replacement. Stock ROMs will drain your battery even more. Also, look carefully if you use apps preventing your tab from proper deep sleep.
I just ordered a replacement battery, haven't had to replace a tablet battery in years

The best rom is to buy a battery. I recommend Newpower 99, I myself bought one and the result is new tablet ... 8,9, 10 hours of easy screen
Custom ROM e.g Resurrection Remix based on Lineage OS! LJ
