Either Its just me or we can all agree that Sense 7 on the VZW One has.. not so good Battery Life. For me, Only Sense 5 and 5.5 Have had truly "good" battery life, Sense 6 was eh, but for me, Sense 7 has not so good battery life, Its probably better or worse on the OTA Sense 7 (I haven't gotten it yet, and I lost my Sense 6 Backup.) But nevertheless;
I am running NuSenSeven and The battery life is not that great. I am using the kernel provided with the ROM, the stock kernel doesn't let me use the tapping gestures to turn on the screen and things of that nature. But the stock kernel doesn't let me.
If anyone knows some good Sense 7 ROMs or Kernels that work on sense 7, Feel free to help out by replying to this with some Kernels or ROMs.
Thanks!

There is no OTA of Sense 7 for the m7.
The m7 OTA is Lollipop with Sense 6.
All Sense 7 roms for the m7 are ported from the all new HTC One m9.
So, being that the base they are ported from, is made for a much more powerful device, I don't think you can expect the exact same battery life as a stock m7 intended rom.
However, Lollipop in general is more power hungry then Kitkat.
So of course Sense 5 and Sense 5.5 are more battery friendly.
That is a pretty well known thing...since Lollipop is still less mature then Kitkat was.
If you are on Verizon, your options for roms are fairly limited anymore...you know what rom and kernel I suggest, but you're already using them.
If you want, you can flash the stock rooted Sense 6 rom that I posted, which is a rooted flashable version of the Official Verizon m7 Lollipop update that just recently released.
But that will also come with a stock kernel and the same Lollipop 5.0.2 base that the Sense 7 roms are also based on just with a newer Sense UI.
So I don't think you'd find much change in power consumption to be honest.

Santods right, n I'm one of the few ppl here that always said I preferred stock rooted roms instead of custom, and I've tried both roms Santods speaking of , and there's very little difference in power. N as I say this, I run NuSense as my daily driver, because in my eyes it's more solid then stock even.
but in all honesty that's always been my biggest gripe with this phone... The horrible battery life
Can you link to the Rom you're talking about? It sounds like a dream. At least the way I read it, which was a 4.4 Rom with Sense 7?
I'm gonna try sense 5.5 and Sense 5 as of now. Now note that this is not urgent, as my HTC is used as a media speaker since my mic is broken
(I use a Droid Ultra. By the way, never buy another droid phone for as long as the Moto X exists. Android M was announced today and we're still running 4.4.4 even though the X, G, and E. "Pending partner support" my ass.)
So I just need a rom that will last awhile on airplane mode and WiFi. Off to try sense 5/5.5.
I am running the same rom and for awhile I have used this phone as a Wi-Fi player and below is the battery stats. I highly suggest using programs like greenify to extend your battery life. I greenify pretty much everything as you really don't need any background apps running (message app, phone, sim toolbox, etc since you wouldn't be using them). I even greenify Google apps and services. I listen to my podcasts on my hour drive to and from work and play some games on this phone with barely any battery drain.
A nice hint is keep battery saver on unless you are doing something that needs every ounce of power the phone has.

I have been using the GPE Rom and it seems to have very good battery life with airplane mode and WiFi. Standby times are good but I'm looking for a Jelly Bean (*maybe kitkat) rom with basically the same battery life. Any suggestions?
P.S. If I don't want to use this as a phone, can I use non Vzw ROMS?

Sadly, no. Our mount points are different and flashing a rom for a different model will cause bootloops. I suggest viperone 7.0.2 or the 4.4.3 gpe rom.

Do the headphone jacks work? And are there OTAs for viper?

Is there a Verizon variant? Whenever I install 7.0.2 I realize there's only AT&T, T-Mobile, and Default. Not sure which one is Verizon.

I've had a Verizon M8 since '14. I used Sunshine (or whatever it was) to set S-OFF and have been flashing various ROMs from day 1. Since Marshmallow ROMs started to appear I've been using them. Over the last 2 months or so I've noticed that my phone tends to die at around 50%. Often times after starting the phone again what appears to be filesystem corruption has occurred and settings reset themselves, icons disappear from my launcher, etc. Now I'm more or less looking to find the most stable, reliable ROM to keep me going until I get a Google Pixel.
Yesterday I flashed a the KitKat RUU (0P6BIMG_M8_WL_K444_SENSE60_VZW_MR_VERIZON_WWE_3.28.605.4_HSM_Radio_1.09.20.0926_NV_VZW_2.11_002_release_393779_signed_1.zip MD5: 6077fefbc12b51ae55f1a066c863a414) and so far it seems very stable. I noticed that this version actually has the ability to disable "Fast Startup" like the calibration directions say. I'm now running a stress test to see how fast the battery drains playing a stream.
Anyway, here are my questions: which version has the least number of issues, especially with battery life? Is my experience with Marshmallow ROMs not normal? Is it a known issue? Is either KitKat or Lollipop considered more stable? Do any of you stick to older ROMs?
As for bases, I think my only choice is stock. I love that 1080p60 camera too much to give it up. The flashable Sense camera for GPE ROMs does NOT record at 60fps when in Fast FullHD mode, it doesn't even hit 30 it seems! I don't think CM or any other AOSP ROMs offer it either, but I could be wrong.
I've had my M8 for roughly 6 months with nothing but MM roms on it the whole time. While I cannot vouch for KK or L roms on this device, I can say that your experience with MM roms is not normal. I've had outstanding battery life with MM roms on my device. Have you tried to flash a few different MM roms to see if it was just an issue with one of the roms? And does the issue still persist with the KK rom that you've most recently flashed?
Stay at kitkat , I was having almost most of your problem after I return it to stock it makes everything good or stock gpe its good for battery life.

Had no issues at all with my M8, been using GPE since a week after I bought the phone (about a year ago); Never even saw Kitkat on this device, only Lollipop, which was stock and also worked very well for me...
The GPE camera is as good as it's gonna get with an AOSP base, however they're not all the same. Cyanogen utilizes opensource camera and bluetooth drivers, which in the past have caused mucho trouble for me, GPE is the best of both, Google works with HTC to bake in your phones legit drivers, while still giving the vanilla android experience.
Recently got a M9. Wanted to know your experience about the most popular rom for the M9. Viper, Leedroid, ICE... How to you like them? What is battery life and performance?
I don't care about customization so as long as a rom is fast, stable, and hold good battery life, I would take it.
Let me know if you could jump in and share your thoughts.
Thanks
p.s. I actually went ahead and flash leedroid 10 v3.9.0 stable.
The room is fluent but I can't get notifications....
Do you have Leedroid tweaks installed?
I'm using ViperOneM9 now, seems stable and good battery.
I'm using ICE M9 5.5.9,and i have tested Viper rom. I prefered ICE with great battery life, smooth fast, and without problems. Ice great rom.
I used viperOne before, great rom with good battery life... I hated all the preloaded apps in the rom
I personally chose viper as the best stock based ROM but I found battery standby by time suffered to extent and i barely managed to get 8 hours out of the battery.
It also has far to many options and tweaks for my liking.
I ran a development stock ROM based on 4.x firmware for a few weeks, and it worked fine.
I'm currently running lineage OS 14.1 after a spell running lineage 15, but although 15 is very good, its not fully stable and has no working camera and does randomly reboot at times.
I'm getting a solid 14 hours stand by on the battery using lineage 14.1.
I just find that the best (for me) at this time.
The bad part of aosp roms is camera and sound.
For me stock nougat is the best.
I've been using LeeDroid romfor years but my M8 is now struggling badly with battery.
I was wondering, and struggling to find, any ROM's that play nicely on battery and resources to use the devices as a backup of sorts.
Had a search for the Sailfish OS that looks interesting but seems the M8's ROM support might be finally dying along with the phone.
Any suggestions?
1. You should've asked in Q&A section tbh.
2. There's not much that can be done about bad battery. I'd clean flash the rom again and do some undervolting and underclocking.
If you want to switch roms and want a sense based one then try a debloated stock rom - sometimes stock works best. ICE also had a good battery life.
If not sense based isn't an issue then there's plenty to go around - I think they'd be mostly the same with battery life, so pick whichever one you want - Oreo roms are new, Nougat roms are solid.
I'm currently on RR 5.8.5, did some underclocking and battery life is acceptable for such an old device.
Hello
Since upgrading my firmware to Oreo 8.1 I find the batter life on my G5 Cedric poor, and it's even worse if I flash a custom 8.1 rom. Currently on Atomic 8.1, and with light to moderate use after 7 hours I go from 100% to 35%.
I don't know whether it's a case of my battery needs replacing or whether Oreo just eats up battery more than Nougat?
If others have found that Oreo is worse than I might downgrade back to Nougat.
Anyone else with a similar problem?
The battery life on Oreo custom ROMs is poor. However, the stock Oreo (i had the twrp flashable one) one was really nice. Battery life was better than Nougat custom ROMs. Pie custom ROMs also offer great battery life.
Interesting. My wife uses G5 and it's currently on Oreo and she complains a lot about battery life. It was updated from Nougat and reading some Moto forums, people there argued that it takes few weeks for the system to optimise itself, but it seems it never happened (Never heard such reasoning before either). I think flashing the ROM anew (even Oreo) might be a good option.
