So I was sitting here winding down after a long day of work and was wondering what everyone's favorite or preferred custom ROM is/are. I'm a huge fan of features, ease-of-use, clean, neat, and organized UI, and something that won't bog down after 3 weeks of loading it with everything I use day to day. I'm currently on OOS 11 still because (like always) OnePlus likes to strip and/or forget to port a lot of features from previous operating systems when a new one is released REGARDLESS of them going through a "codebase merge" or not.
TL;DR: I wanted this to be a poll-based thread to see what all of you guys recommend, like, use, or prefer and why. What do you like most about it, what do you dislike about it, and if you could, what would you do to make it better or suit your needs? Feel free to go as in-depth as possible. I figured with all the BS going on in the world right now, this can be a laid back, opinionated but respectful thread.
Please remember, a lot of these devs are putting a lot of their hard work and effort into making these ROMs for us. Be kind to each other and the devs that bring you these awesome things. If it weren't for them or their time, well, we probably wouldn't be here, now would we?
Also, if you liked this thread, let me know. I have a few other poll ideas I wanna throw out there.
So far I've used XtendedXS, and EvolutonX. Both were based on A12 at the time of testing.
i do use LineageOS on my tablet and on my Galaxy Y i use my own themed LineageOS/CM 12.1 ROM
Btw, I recommend crDroid, LineageOS
Also, just realized I put OOS and COS as options and thanks to @notnoelchannel , I realized I completely left LineageOS off the list. I guess I threw them in since they're both feature packed. Sorry peeps. I guess I just gave away a hint to one of my other ideas lol. That's what being sick, having little sleep, and posting this at 2:30am will do to you.
CarbonROM!
Using JaguarOS since my OP6T
Due to great privacy tweaks, built-in wakelock blocker and other tweaks
AICP on 1+ 8 Pro
Also been looking to see if a custom ROM would be good for me. Currently running OOS11 and trying out different kernels and I'm getting good battery life with Arter's and bluspark (7+hrs SoT). I'm looking for a ROM with good battery life and the ability to force immersive mode for apps, the biggest downside of OOS11 imo.

Are using AOD? I can almost never get 6+ hours. Same os and kernel, -25% gpu in FKM, AOD, QHD resolution, 120Hz (tried with forced, as well as auto), live wallpaper etc. Getting 5-6h regularly

No I'm not using aod. I tested fhd yesterday with no Bluetooth or location since I was at home and got 6hrs SoT by the time I was at 20%. Ill try a more realistic setup today with location on and such.

So I tested my battery life with QHD, 120hz, Bluetooth and location always on, no aod and auto brightness. Over 32 hours I got just under 7 and a half hours SoT. Have you done app optimisation through adb or let it happen naturally by leaving your phone on the charger?

As far as I understand Android optimises apps when the phone is plugged in, at full charge and is idle. You can also force this optimisation through adb using "adb shell cmd package bg-dexopt-job". It can take a while for this to complete and its safe to disconnect the phone during this process. I've also read that the phone performs extra optimisation when its left on the charger but I'm not sure about that myself.
EDIT: heres a post that goes into more detail, OP also mentions this command in a comment - https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-and-battery-calibration-myths-busted.993896/

Its mentioned in that thread that it can take between 30mins to 3hours. I think it took just over an hour for me. Leaving your phone plugged in overnight might be a better alternative.

Perhaps something else worth mentioning that has just happened to me, have you ever fully drained the battery? When I posted my SoT that was the first time I have ever drained the phone fully (I did it because my phone was lasting nearly an hour before dropping from 100 to 99 and was lasting about 20 minutes on 1 percent I assumed it wasn't aware of my full battery capacity). Since doing a full drain I think my battery is looking better, right now I'm running FHD+ 120hz no bluetooth or location and at 70% im at 3 hours of SoT with 8 hours off the charger. Thats around 10 hours of SoT with just over 24 hours off the charger which is insane.

I bought this amazing [As you all know how fast it is ] Galaxy Nexus and was previously using hTC Desire S[GB] !!!
I'm somehow not happy with the battery life and also the overheating of Nexus !
It is Stock[ROM + Kernel] + Root ! around 7th or 8th charge cycle !!
I did try out Cpu Sleeper App works like a charm but was facing reboot issue and that is why had to remove it !!!
See if anyone of you could help me overcome these issue ! or Is this really something for me to worry about !!?????
[PS: Please don't recommend me to change ROM or KERNEL ! Because I prefer to stay on Stock ! Also NOOO Overclockig !]
Check out the Few screen shots i took when my brain kicked me to !!!
We need to see the screen before this one(the one that lists top consumers of battery). To see if something is waking the phone up. Also, charge cycles and calibration are bogus. If anything, you would be using the phone less since you've finally set everything up the way you want and the newness effect has worn off. My battery life has been about the same if my usage pattern remains like it usually does throughout the day. It doesn't really look too bad, but the drops seem a little steeper than what I normally see. . Grab CPUSpy and BetterBatterystats. I'm on my way to work soon, but someone may be able to help you before I go on break.

Here we go
ok so calibrators and cycles are bogus ! I get that !
What about brightness ? Should that be auto or manual mode ??
And is Google Now causing issue ?? Because its not really useful to me on daily basis !!???
And any other suggestions your would like to share
I was gonna edit my post, actually. I've personally never fully charged and drained my battery for any of my phones(some people swear by it though). I guess if the readings are out of whack then yes. My phone got stuck at 85% for almost 12 hours one day, but I had did something which messed up the OS. Haha.
If you don't use Google Now, you can opt out of it. Brightness is a personal preference. I usually stick mine at 25%. Auto may take a hit on the battery, but I doubt it's anything to worry about. Just the common sense stuff. Apps that poll data in the background will drain the battery, but if they're properly coded, they shouldn't be a problem Running on 4G/LTE/HSPA with a bad signal will drain it more since the radio is trying to find the best possible signal. After a full day of use, what is your typical screen on time? 18 hours is pretty good if you're using it on HSPA all day.
ya honestly that doesnt appear to have anything wrong. What results were you expecting vs what you have? You have a lot of screen on time, that takes a LOT of battery to run the display and using it when brightness is high takes significantly more. Also it appears you have a couple long phone calls in there as well. As far as heat goes, youre going to have that on the higher end phones due to the gpu producing heat and oled displays produce a bit of heat as well, lcd runs cooler.
Weak/unstable/unrealible mobile network signal could cause the fast drain of your battery. I saw you have one bar of hspa signal in the 3rd screenshot.
Those graphs should be much flatter during idle periods. Something is keeping awake. If you're on jelly bean its prob Google now. It does it to everybody.

Actually 3G isn't really well established for Vodafone[or any other company] in India.Also there is a peak going upwards in the first image indicating charging and after having a battery life of around 20 hrs on My Desire S and screen on [appx.] 7 hrs , I'm very disappointed with Jelly Bean !! Also While googling this issue I found out that somebody sniffed the mobile wifi connection to monitor and found some app constantly exchanging packets which according to his test was the root issue for the battery drain !!
Edit:
]Ok I found the way to shut google Now !
I'll records stats for a day or two and get back Thanks Everyone for your time and help

In Google Now >> Menu >> Settings >> Google Now there is an on/off switch at the top. Depending on the ROM it's included as either velvet.apk or QuickSearchBox.apk but removing that would get rid of Google search I think.
Yeah. I think its actually part of search. Like I said, just opt out and you should be good to go. Keep us posted.

Hello there,
I've a new G4 since last friday and I'm experiencing a really strange battery drain.
Let's say I will charge my phone to 100% and than leave it idle, it will start discharging really slowly with all syncs active (for example last night it lost 2% in 8 hours). That's cool.
The problem is that as soon as I start using it again it will drain really fast, like 1% every 2 minutes. What is strange is that after start using it it will drain fast (1% every 10 minutes) even if i will let it idle again, so screen off and same operations as the 2% lost during 8h in the night.
At the moment I'm in Germany and I've experienced same drain ratio under good and bad cell signal and wifi. My model is H815. I'm not rooted so I cannot see good statistics in BBS.
I've already tried a factory reset.
Thanks everyone fo the help
I would start with checking the battery information inside settings. In there it will give the biggest battery drains. If you're lucky, you'll see something else up top that is not Android System, Android OS, or the screen.

Try disabled sync while using others app to see the outcome
I have the same problem. That's why I have a spare battery + charging cradle + power bank. Maybe I'll need to flash again since my device is not acting normally.

Today it seems better, only stuff I've changed is that I've disabled the quick cirlce cover since I don't have it but I don't think is related. At the momento I'm at 50% after 7h of wich 2h and 15min of screen time. Seems good to me.
I will go on testing during the weekend and I will report back. I hope the culprits are not rocket player (and mediaserver sice my music is on the SD card) but I've noticed a higher battery drain when using it. (today I haven't that much)
Those are some very good stats so far. Poised to hit 4h on the dot for SoT which is considered the expected average
I had to use a different launcher rather than the stock one and also a quick circle app and that was it

i think that is just reindexing of content on the sd card. It is temporary. It could also mean that your sd card is going bad and more reads were required.

I've tested the card and seems good, It's strange that is still indexing it, I've the phone since one week now.
The charge after the one that seemed ok was totally bad. I'll investigate more
Thanks everyone
If you add files or remove them then i think it triggers indexing. Leave it for a while it should go away after some time.
if it does not try a different card. I only use the red sandisk class 10 cards, these give the least problems.

This of course is way, way too long.
Usually this is because of a corrupt/unreadable/unknown file on the external SD. Copy all files to PC, format the card, restore files. The media scanner will now end it's process in a matter of minutes :good:
So I've investigated a bit during the past few days, those are the results:
- Media server is not anymore keeping the device awake that much
- It seems that RocketPalyer is using a lot of CPU compared to what it was doing on my Note 3.
- Battery drain still seems a bit random, yesterday for example i got 16 hours with 4h and 3min of screen time, today I'm already at 56% after 5h and only 1h and 20min of screen time (I'ìve not changed what I did with the device that much, and I'm under same network and wifi as yesterday at work)
I think that if I want to understand why sometimes is acting weird I will have to root and use wakelock detectors, btw now that I saw that the device is not faulty (I was able to get good battery time on some days) I'm not afraid that much anymore to root it.
Thanks everyone

I get spotty signal at my desk and the skytrain makes my phone go on a major drain
Hi all,
I am using the international version of the G4 and the battery life is quite poor. I am not a heavy user, bit of social media, music for a couple of hours and a little internet. I need to charge at around 3pm or it won't last until 7pm.
I've previously been very active in the modding of Samsung devices, but kept this un-rooted until now.
I am considering either rooting or flashing a custom ROM to get better battery life. I am more than happy with the G4 UI, so this is purely for power purposes.
Does anyone have a recommendation? Is it best to root and tweak or just flash a decent ROM? I had my eye on the 7 HD ROM.
Would appreciate some help.
Thanks!
When you want to stay by the stock rom, than its my experience to do nothing...
The nice CTT Mod gives you a little bit more performance and less heat but more battery draining :/
A costume rom can help because less usage of the cpu. But the stock rom is so nice ^^
Do you use the original charger? When I use my old Sony Ericsson 0,7A charger I have the feeling that the battery doesnt have the normal power....

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it's the original charger, so no issues there. I think it's a G4 issue rather than my device as I had it swapped out recently and it's very similar on the battery life.
I am leaning towards doing nothing with Android 6 coming in December.
Buy the xperia z5 premium. Cant go wrong

- Tell us your screen on time and your run time at the end of the cycle iw when battery is around 5-10%. Look in settings, battery, look at the list for screen click it and it should tell you how long its been on. Better still, post screen grabs of the battery usage, showing the graph of your usage with the list below it, so we can see which apps are the top consumers.AND the one with the screen showing how long its been on.
- Are you using this on wifi only, data only or a mix of the two ? how high is your brightness. auto adjusts and isn't very meaningful. so put it on manual and tell us what figure you are comfortable with.
- how much screen on time you need as well as run time so we can tell how close or far it is from your expectations.
- how long have you had the G4, how many charge cycles has it had. If you've had it for a while, is this something that developed after some time or was it always like this since you got it.
There are a lot of reasons battery can be low, we know very little about your use right now.
Screen 16%
Android OS 13%
Phone 11% (haven't actually made a call today)
Android System 9%
Spotify 9%
Google Play Services 6%
Cell Standby 5%
I'm using it mostly on 3G/4G, but turning wifi on when needed.
The phone one is a bit curious....
Sorry i need to see time figures in hours and minutes. percentages tell me nothing.
when the battery is 5-10 % how long is your sot.
And how long has it been runnning.
How long have you had this device ?
3g/4g is going to take a toll on the battery depending on the signal, whether you are stationary or moving when accessing data.

Android os sounds like autosync+GPS
Phone sounds like fast dormancy
Android system looks normal at 9% but still need a sot / time the phone was on for the period u recorded those stats.
Might wanna have a go at BBS and give us something solid to look at, that alone will help a great deal in solving the issue

First two days I had the phone it had great battery. I was getting 16-18 hours of life with 4-6 sot. Now the last two days at work it's worse than my op2. By the time I got home yesterday I was at like 35%. Previous days I was well over 60.My android system is taking most of the blame. On my good days it was at like 8% when the phone would die. Right now with my phone at 79% it's already at the top with 5%. I've barely used the phone while I'm at work right now. It's been unplugged for 3 hours and my sot is 35 minutes. Not sure if it's got something to do with the ambient display. Maybe finger print scanner. Any one have ideas?

Humm I thought it was the other way around. Nevertheless I have WiFi at work. Can't remember if I was on it though. I'll have to test that out.
You don't have to run a custom rom or loose dash charge cause your rooted. I'm still using stock oxygen 3.1.3,and have the basic functions like dash charge working. I'm not sure if you have to be rooted to use gsm, cause I'm always rooted, but it may gave you more specific insight as to what exactly is draining your battery quickly.

You know the image you attached, with the graph on it? Tap that and check the Awake heading. Is it one long solid blue bar? If yes: your phone stays awake (doesn't go in deep sleep mode). Does restarting it make a difference (i.e. does the solid blue bar get broken up)?
The problem emerged on my OP3 as well yesterday AND I had it on my prevous phone (a OPO). On the OPO the problem was that it wouldn't release a wakelock that kicked in during charging. While I haven't explored the problem on my new OP3 enough to know if this is the same problem, here's what fixed it for me if the problem is indeed charger related: when charged to your liking turn off your phone with the charging cable still in. Once turned off, remove the cable and restart the phone.

I'll have to check that out. I'll root today. Just haven't had a need with the OP3 I'm digging this version of oxygen and not missing any of my root abilities. Also I use android pay. But I guess I can live without it lol

Are you talking about under history details? I'll check tonight once my phone is drained. I did a battery cycle yesterday. Let it die and charged to 100 while it was off. We'll see how it goes today. And your saying it was an actual charger problem?
Heavy battery drain might have to do with the "pocket problem". The fingerprint sensor constantly activates and is not properly blocked by the proximity sensor.
There are several threads and posts about it, here and on the oneplus forums...

Yea I had that once in a while with my op2 I'd take the phone out of my pocket and it would say too many attempts at the scanner. Nothing on this phone like that though. And of course today is a different story with the battery lol its good today. So maybe it's while I'm at work. Idk it's odd. I need some more testing. Currently I'm at 9.5 hours on battery with 56% left and almost 3 hours sot. I'll see how this week goes at work and see if I can diagnose anything
I've been having this problem as well, losing as much as up to 20% of battery overnight, while it was doing absolutely nothing. I've tried a couple of things, but last night it 'only' drained 5%, betterbatterystats reports 0.6% of drainage per hour.
I think this is due to the weather option in the launcher, could anyone else try turning it off and see if battery life improves significantly?

You don't even need to do that. You can just check it after an hour or even less. Just put the phone away for an hour with the screen off and check history details.

Not quite. I'm saying it was a wakelock that kicked in during charging and that wasn't released when I took the phone off the charger. I don't know if it was the charger caused the wakelock.
Great for two days now I'm leaving work with 45% battery and only an hour and a half sot. Unplugged for 9 hours. Idk I feel like it's hit or miss
The idle drain is ridiculously low, but I can't help but think something is draining the battery while I use it. It can't all be the screen, but my number one offenders according to GSAM are Android System and Kernel OS. I can post logs if need be, but is there anything else I can do?
I'm using the middle resolution, 120hz, auto brightness, no location, BT on, 5G turned off... I don't know what else I can try. No clue how some people get 6-8 hours of SoT.
What's your idle drain figure? I'm just curious to know. Mine hovers at around 2-3% per hour during the day. Sorry I can't be of more help. I think mine behaves the same way.
Overnight I see a .2% drain, it's the smallest drain I've seen on a phone.
I even tried to re-optimize apps through ADB and that did nothing, last night I tried wipes Ng cache and charging it overnight... Currently at 96% with a whopping 10 minutes if screen time. I swear it's something with these photos best and Verizon judging by the other thread regarding screen time on this forum.

It's possoble you have a lot of background optimization still running, try running the optimize command from adb to force it to finish all of it. See here
GitHub - KelvinCrag/Optimizer: A shell script which helps to improve screen on time by optimising android system.

Also, turn off RAM booster in settings, it just pre-runs apps in the background to try to shorten load times even though load times are fast already
Maybe it is just me...
But what is the problem with these numbers?
Just charge it for 20min when low battery...
A phone is meant to be used, no?

I tried the ADB thing already weeks ago, it took about an hour to finish the command.
I'll try turning off the RAM booster now and see if that helps at all.

If I don't feel confident being able to take my phone off the charger in the morning and go off for the day where I may not have access to a charger, that's not good. Especially when others are getting 3 hours more screen time than I am.

Unless you know exactly what others are doing with their phone, then it's just bull****.
Reading a book on dark mode and flightmode? That's not really using a phone.
Going out and about, making phone calls, chatting, listening to music, using 4G or 5G the entire day...
That's using a phone. And off course you are not going to get 6h SoT in these situations.
This is not a Nokia 3310...
All the nice flagship features of the phone require battery power.
Hence, Oneplus gave it the ability to charge it in 20min...
Buy a battery pack or an extra charger.
Or, try an other kernel.
@berfles just for sport, try turning off ambient display to see if that helps.

I'm pretty sure the people getting those times aren't sitting there reading a book. I browse the internet, listen to music, and use social media and it barely lasts the entire day. I don't think it's out of line to want similar battery life to my 3 year old phone. Having it drop 5% with 10 minutes of screen time and 40 minutes off the charger is not "good battery life", therefore I am checking to see if there's anything I can do about it.
Also, ambient display is already off as well.
But your 3y old phone does not have the same display, for exemple...
Post some screenshots of your usage during the day.
With numbers.
Yup, I have the exact same issue. Also tried other ROM's but that didn't help either for me.
You may try Omega-Kernal with an conservatie scheduler. Not the best solution but it might work
