Best battery rom and kernel combo? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hi! I just bought my pixel 2xl and have had it for about a week. As soon as I got it I flashed havoc on it and noticed very poor battery life. Was getting about 3hrs sot with very normal usage. Weird. No games or anything. Just YouTube and social media. Only thing I can think of is I was at school and some areas have poor service but on my one plus 6t that was never an issue. I know it has a bigger battery and more efficient processor than the 2xl but the difference shouldn't be 6hrs of sot worth. Any advice? I love the ability to customize so I don't want a very plain rom but if battery life is stellar I'm open to all option. Thank you!

Personal experience, I get similar on-screen time on stock or AospEX or Liquid. As for kernel, Evira or Cesium are both good for me. I would try a couple different roms in their basic form and decide what suits your needs them start working on maximising battery second to that. The blackened script does a great job along side all that I listed above.

I've been running pixel dust for a few days and that's been better. Not good but better. Around 4hrs sot.

I m getting 6 to 7 hrs SOT WITH AOSIP with normal usage more browsing and music and YouTube.

My battery will almost never be better than 4ish hours screen time. The signal strength here sucks in most places so always searching. Lol

+1 on AOSIP with built-in caesium kernel and BM; I also use AquariOS with caesium or Kirisakura kernel with BM. Both have been very stable and good battery life. The main reason I use these is that Verizon VM, volte and WiFi calling work.

Sorry for being OT, but where do I find AOSIP for taimen?

Weird. I installed blackened mod and left the kernel alone. Down to 90 percent with ab 30 minutes sot. Haven't been off my phone since I woke up. Haven't don't anything but reply to emails, scrolled on Twitter for a few mins, and watched like one YouTube video. Is that normal? It seems quite high of a drain compared to my past OnePlus phones.

That hasn't been my experience; I suggest you post on the BM thread with logs. the Op and others are very helpful.

Don't use any mod. It will fine.

For me Dirty Unicorns with stock (Unicornblood) kernel has been stellar.

Does camera quality decrease on custom roms? any functionality lost going from stock google to custom roms?

Not at all. Same as stock. Unless it's a janky rom

Where can I find more info on AOSIP?
Can see the download link above and would like the best battery friendly ROM as well. Or would stock be best?
My only issue with stock is the light backgrounds and no root for adaway, etc. There are apps such as blockada that is said to work well but have not tried it.
Thanks for the feedback here, can't find anything on AOSIP. No feature list or screens or why the consensus from posters here would be that this one is near the top in terms of battery life.

One plus 3 best rom for Screen on time

Can anyone tell me that which is the best rom for screen on time.i am using stock rom.just me a rom that can give a 5+ hour screen on time...i have posted my usage in screenshot
OOS 4.0.2 with OB7 firmware. Then flash render EAS kernal. EAS will make sure that you get the most battery out of your phone.
It doesnt fully depend on the ROM. If u really want good battery life then its all about tweaking. For example flash LOS14.1 with bluspark/ElementalX/Franco then apply a AKT profile, for further explanation of this head to the advanced kernel tweaking thread and then download the akt APK. Then choose which profile u think suits the best. U can choose from battery/balanced/performance. Then u can easily reach 5h SOT. Hope i helped you.
I have 8-9h SOT on sultan's CM13
Screenshots: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70828408&postcount=668
Beta 11 with Franco's kernel. 4+ guaranteed SOT for me with a moderate gaming ( CoC and CR .... Both battery hogger )
Plus both Sims and 4g data on one is on mostly.
If you want more battery then you should try AKT ZHANA but for me it made my phone slow. So avoiding it at this moment.
Hope it helps. Thanks!
SOT is personal and doesn't mean a lot you can leave your display on with sync off, 0 Brightness and get 20hrs...
Try different setups maybe ditch some apps and log in with optimized sd browser etc
I have got my best SOT with Slimroms
It really depends on usage more than anything else. For example, I'm consistently getting 5-6h SOT on stock ROM and kernel, no doze tweaks or anything. Never got below 4h, once hit over 9h.

my constant is with 4 hours sot with stock 3.2.8. could be better with 4.0.2 or whatever.. but i stopped thinking about the sot coz its just making me paranoid everytime i look at the battery stats. as long as the phone can hold up till end of the day then im good and as long as i can get off a charger everytime im on low battery then im damn fine

I agree with this as well. I think back to my note 4, and just wanted a better that would last until I got home.. I frequently had to plug it up or swap batteries halfway through the day.
Now with heavier use, [and more knowledge of android] regardless of what I do, my oneplus 3 always makes it through the entire work and school day.
H2OS Beta 7, stock kernel + root +greenify +juice defender(default settings). It's the best battery duration I have with OP3. 5-7h sot generally.

They are talking about unplugged screen time ... I see no other way you could get 12 hours sot from this phone. I'm not calling you a liar just saying I don't think it's possible.

Great Battery on LOS Nougat roms!! :)

Hey folks. I'm sharing something nice i've been using for a week that I am very happy with.
First of all, I'm a humble guy and I'm not into coding like many respectable members from here are.
Since I changed to Los based ROM ( ressurection remix + dragonxia kernel- thanks to pappschlumpf, the only complaint I had was the battery. With MIUI ROMs battery used to last a lot ( at costs of performance and limited multitasking, I must say), and this was a nice Thing
After googling a little bit, I found out on XDA another thread belonging to people who uses the OP3 smartphone. On that thread they've created a project called AKT that states for advanced kernel tweaks.
So thing is, those tweaks were first released for snapdragon 820 processor, but latest versions supports tweaks on our Chipset (snapdragon 821). Using the instructions on the thread I was able to get a good battery with consistent performance ( need more time to quantify - I'm using zana balanced profile), much better comparing to stock settings. Its also good to remember that not all settings are applied because of the limitations of the kernel..
So here is the link:
:cyclops:

Hope it helps you if you were having the same problems as I was, any other suggestions are also welcome

Hey. Can you just describe 'Great battery' with farther information(or proof) like how much Screen on Time(from 100 percentage to end), total battery life, used apps during the session etc? Saying just 'Great battery' doesn't mean a lot though. Thanks.

I know that app for a while, didn't try it yet though. I just wonder what does 'Great battery' mean for anyone who puts it into word. It means +9H SOT over a day for me, which I actually get.
Im sure there would be a difference but that wasn't the point of my post.

I agree with you my friend, and I think the more suitable world to describe it would be "better"
Since this is the first week im using AKT, im running some tests and varying many of the profiles on my daily smartphone use, so my battery levels aren't consistent to a fixed kind of profile
Anyway, As other user said, if you are on a LOS ROM you will notice how battery drain is very high. If you try it you will see the difference, and I think it's worth trying since it's free..
Here are some screens of my battery life. Used battery (ZHANA)profile in akt app. And 15% performance profile to play mupen64 games.
So u see batterylife is amazing in my opinion. And still have 20% left
I think the phone would make 18Hours battery with one charge.

That's very nice results, but:
1) Do you have problems with notifications on this MIUI rom(like messages not arriving at the real time when the phone is on standby)?
3) Do You also keep GPS ON?
2) Have you tried a LOS ROM?

Thanks,
1. Since background activity is restricted; nothing comes in background. Besides; I always disable whole notifications, led, for all those apps. I only check them when i want lol.
2. Yes, I've tried LOS for 15 minutes then returned to miui immediately.
3. I use navigation sometimes, it reduces SOT remarkably, that's why i keep it off when it's not needed.

I would even ignore if the battery would worse on Los, or RR though. I don't really care battery life since i've got a secondary device on my pocket. The deal breaker is Xposed all alone [emoji1] Dammit I can't stand without my status bar set up, not even for a day to test Nougats.

Hey, I got it and I agree with you, the best battery of this device is from MM MIUI.. But still you are keeping notifications not delivering properly and keeping GPS OFF.
Its a personal taste of course, but On LOS ROMS this phone is almost perfect, as another user mentioned here. On MIUI I had many problems about my notifications ( I didn't receive them without a significant delay) and with multitasking options, even disabling the tweaks to save battery.
Not to mention that MIUI is not customizable as LOS..
As I agree with the other user, this phone is a BEAST with LOS ROMS..
The only problem with LOS roms I had was the battery and the camera ( yea the camera has a better consistence on point-and-shoot mode on miui).
With this mod, battery is very good and acceptable, WITH GPS ON AND LTE ON AS WELL. For me, so far, it's lasting more than 12 hours with around 3:30 sot, LTE on and GPS on, and that's great :laugh:
I think we'll have the best battery and performance when xiaomi releases official release nougat for our device

Side note; my all day Gps on for Navigation, Lte on usage was like over 5H sot/14H total. Damn tough battery though. My first Xiaomi device but I've been using Miui on my previous devices. I will keep miui on it until frickin xposed shows up for Nougat. Ps. Never flashed a Miui nougat rom yet

Konstantine, everyone understand that the battery is BETTER on MIUI ROMS. No discussion about it. What I'm talking about is a good battery that can last a Day with GPS, LTE on all the time, with no battery saving apps ( or background data restrictions), ON LOS roms. LOS ROMS .
If you use it on miui, I really don't know the results, but I think the battery WONT BE BETTER THAN IT ALREADY IS on miui Roms ( most specifically epic rom), if you use this mod
So, If you ever plan to try LOS roms, give this mod a try, it's nice.

Battery Life on OOS 5

Just wanted to start a central thread for people to share SoT's and other battery-life-related info for the new OOS 5 build, and the other Oreo builds that may eventually follow, OnePlus willing.
I'm just waiting to see how battery life turns out, and how stable the build is, before upgrading. I figured many others would be too, so any of you brave first responders who want to fill us in would be very appreciated!
Useful info to include:
*Screen-on time (ideally with a screenshot of app usage)
*Average standby drain per hour
*Rough difference between standby drain when on WiFi/LTE (signal quality is the biggest decider here, so if you have an idea how good of a signal you may have been getting, please include that too)
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to let us know! (Remember to click the thanks button for those who help us out!)
So far so good. Pretty much the same as nougat.
i lost 40 % in around 1 hour SOT. that's very bad...
Very good, better than nougat
Hi, maybe a survey can be usefull ? Like "better than nougat" or not
After selecting location mode to GPS only, my idle drain with Oreo open beta is really low. I usually have 80% battery left when I go to bed. The other day I somehow disabled wifi and still had 80% left, so cellular battery usage is minimal.
Way better battery life than nougat.

There isn't a lot you can do about google play services and android system wakelocks, that's just Google spying on you and selling information about you. Limiting those almost always breaks something, they build their internal services confusingly on purpose because spying on you and selling that information is their core business model. You just have to do trial and error and see what works in your use case.

Best SOT and performance 8.1 rom/kernel

I use my phone to play hardcore 3d MMOs alot, there Is a huge
Amount of roms and kernel out there now for 8.1 I'm looking to get some information on which combination is going to maximize the screen on time while gaming or what kind of figures people are getting without killing the performance, as any gamer can tell u frames per second is life. Lag and microstutter sucks.

DU, RR, I don't care which one I use, I'm just testing DU for now, working better than RR
I'm going to test out DU later tonight with EX no shadez,
My way of testing is I have my phone at 100% and starting gaming at night, so I can get a true reading of screen on time, I've gotten over one hour of screen time per 20% to really horrible like 20mins screentime for 40% of battery, my game of choice was crusaders of light (high intensity wow clone style graphics) but now I have switched to lineage 2 ( unreal 4 engine) vulkan API I think. Resurrection remix was giving me easily over an hour of screen on time to battery ratio but...for some reason the fast charge function doesn't function properly on it. If anyone else cares to test it load up lineage 2 with ex shaded kernel set graphics high or Max and lemee know how it runs. I love this forum thanks for the participation .

That's what I'm using
DU stock ended with bad hesitation on pop in of mobs and players , loaded up ex shadez and im confident its probably extreme highs and lows switching of CPU causing this wave like microstutter performance in 3d apps. His kernel is bomb though
battery life and pure performance so far leading the pack on resurrection remix with its included kernel, but for some reason it doesnt like to fast charge....i have no idea wtf is up with that, going to try stock + elemental ex right now
So far I find DU by @joeeboogz is the best. Try it, you won't regret it
Nobody can base the best sot on their device alone. Everybodies usage may vary. Also setups will always be different for each person. I get great battery life because i focus on stuff like apps running in the background. That's a biggie for me. I don't play games or watch movies. I make calls check text go on GitHub and research rom stuff and that's about it. I pretty much keep a stock kernel and it's fine for me. I have gotten over 6 hours normally of sot and usually I just charge at night. That being said I always have two phones on me so I sometimes switch. But I'm running my du and it's great. Also keep in mind phones take a few days to settle in after flashing so charging to a hundred percent then testing sot right after flashing a rom is going to be very inaccurate. Do it for a week straight the first 3 days probably won't be the same. But after phone settles readings will be more accurate. Good luck guys and maybe think about switching this to the discussion thread

I use the stock OS with elementalX Kernel and rooted. I got 4 hours SOT in 18 hours of usage 100% - 10%. But I played maybe 1 hour an Game (Pokémon Go) and watch few YouTube Videos.

hey guys can u help me ?
im on rr 28022018 with magisk, how can i flash the ex kernel and on which slot should i flash it ?
is there a special kernel for custom roms ?
i flashed rom and twrp on slot a and vendor gapps and magisk at slot b, all working fine but i would like to try the ex kernel.

best non miui rom for battery

Apologies if this has been asked before i could not find anything also afraid to try flashing different rom incase I brick my phone! What is the best custom rom for battery life? I've been using pixel experience pie getting around 6 hours of SOT. I don't game just browse reddit Facebook and what's app was wondering if i could push it bit more than 6 hours

I've recently fallen in love with xtended. Using it with the stock kernel, no games, only some light xda browsing, telegram and some YouTube. I easily get 11-12 hours SoT. You can give it a try.

I've been using AOSiP and have not looked back. its great on battery and buttery smooth.
Or as the other guy said, MSM is really good too

I'd come back with an edit for MSM tho. Yeah, it's nice and i guess SoT is very good, but idle is... Lost 6% in 9 hours first time, then 3% in 5 hours. Even with my deep sleep tweaks and nothing turned on. That's a big no-no for me. So like you said, AOSiP is a really really good choice (IMO at least).
I'll start with the aosip, used it on my oneplus 5t liked it

No, you're fine, there's no firmware in AOSiP.

No, no need for Greenify since i just don't use social media crap apps. Those are battery drainers. I do, tho', tweak the doze settings. Also, i use a different brightness app since the android's one gives too much brightness all the time and i don't really like to adjust it every time i unlock the phone. And the kernel is tweaked a bit, since i don't game much on my phone.

Basically its not applyable to most users. So your screenshot with sot time is very misleading without these details. If you underclock miui, dont use social apps, dont game, and lower your brightness, im sure you'll get something like 14-15h SOT. Because i often get around 10h SOT with miui, without modifying anything, just using phone as it came. And i do use social apps and enjoy an occasional game

I do play games, just not heavy ones. And the brightness is just a little bit lower, at most 10%,the kernel is not underclocked, it's just tweaked so it doesn't jump to high freq for just tapping on the screen. And yeah, social apps do play a big role in that, but only in deepsleep. For SoT, it's the same, I don't use social ones, but I use 9gag,which is known to drain battery, or telegram or WhatsApp so it's basically the same. But everyone's usage will be different. I just recommended a ROM and kernel, I didn't say it's the best or that people will get the same results as me.
