Can anyone report on the battery life after about a day or so use? I heard previous comments about poor battery life with CM 5.0.3, and I want to know if the new release is superior, inferior, or about the same.
I installed 5.0.6 last night around 9 pm.
So far I've gone 58 hours and the battery seems the same as test 3.
....
Battery is much better now on the current build.
Is it due to Kernel or the ROM itself? I prefer using an alternative kernel. Will I get those new battery "advantages" as well?
test 3 is the current build as changelog is the same as test 3, so if your on test 3 there is no need to update.

Which roms have the best battery life ???

For milestone? I would say that the 01-25 leak is the best by far.
The rest are pretty evenly matched (the CM7 base roms are mostly the same, etc)

On the ShadowMOD the battery life is comparable to stock 2.1. At least on build 3 - build 6. On other mods (FroyoMod, Cyanogen) it is generally lower, if you do not tune it yourself.
Leak 01-25 is not bad too, but seems a bit less stable.

How to tune it ??
I heard that froyomod has a pretty good battery life. Is it true ??

James91, I've meant that shadowmod seems to be better in battery life just from the moment of flashing. When using the froyomon they recommend to use it's "battery calibrate" script, or delete batterystats.bin manually, and use task killers, and so on.
I was on froyomod for 5 days and never got more than 24 hrs on battery (non-intensive use). But I did not use "calibrate" script, because I a m not sure in it's safety. On shadowmod I have 40+ hours.

Thanks for your reply
I have just tried froyomod but unfortunately I got some errors on internal memory
and I turn to shadowmod again
The battery life of shadowmod (b3) is OK.
Since it would automatically kill tasks and reduce power consumption.

You dont need scripts to tune our phone. Use the 'bump charge' trick. There is a lot of talk about this in the CM7 thread.
1 power off phone
2 plug into wall charger
3 remove battery
4 wait for ? To appear (question mark)
5 put battery back in for LONG charge
6 flash any rom with full wipe.
This will ensure battery calibration on new ROM.
But honesly, if battery life is your thing: use the 01/25 leak. I am not sure why people disagree. The ROM is not flashy at all, but battery is at least 2x better then closest ROM. We have 4 milestones at work and everybody get at least 36 to 48 hrs of HEAVY use. Most cant get more then 12 to 16 with other ROMs.
Ppl that want battery life use that rom, ppl that want features, etc...use CM7 or others. Although some people are now moving back to the leak as themes are avaiable for it and a suprising amount of work is going into it.

I'm using Cronos 1.8.1 now and I'm really happy with it.
It's pretty popular among Milestone users, too bad you didn't include it.
stock roms for sure, I'm using the latest O2 leak & it's excellent in terms of power management.

I didn't include Cronos 1.8.1 coz I have heard that this rom has obvious battery drain.
Hey everyone.
I was on paranoid android 3+ but found the battery wasn't great (as mentioned in forum) so last night I flashed carbons stable release. Charged it full over night. 2 hours of usage this morning and battery is down to 34%.
Am I doing something wrong? Could my battery just be done? It looks fine (no bulging or anything) or is this sort of battery drain expected on this ROM? If it is I'm gonna have to find a more battery friendly alternative.
Thanks for taking the time. Hope someone can help me out.

First of all you need to let it run through few charging cycles to settle down moreover there is no harm in trying a new battery if it is old.
Hi.
Does anybody know how long the battery lasts with omnirom 4.4.2?
I tried CM10.1 once and battery was down after 1 day so I went back to latest stock rom. With that battery last 2-3 days for me. Can anyone tell how omnirom performs regarding that? I'd like to use it a lot since it makes my Asus tf300t run like hell ...

Omnirom 4.4.2 is unstable.
Cm10.1 or CM10 have good battery life (last build)

I am using cpu tuner. I have 6 hours to 10% drop durring night with underclocked cpu for screen off.
bull****
Omnirom is now stable. I'm using it. battery lifetime is 2-3 days if i'm turn off wifi when it isn't needed and sometimes play games
I've tried a few ROMs, including Albinoman's CM11 (4/24 official and a few nightlies) CM10.2 (the newest October official, I forget the date ). So here's my question: Out of all the JB+ ROMs out there, which ones have you had the best experience with, in regards to battery life? Right now I'm running Albinoman's CM10.2.
Also, any battery life tips would be appreciated. Currently, I am doing the following:
LCD brightness turned down
LCD off when not in use
Wifi/GPS off when not in use
Processor slightly underclocked
Unnecessary/unused apps removed/disabled/stopped
Haptic feedback off
In all honesty, I think my best battery life ROM has to be albinoman's CM 11.

That's weird. When I flashed the 5/18 nightly last time, I sucked my battery dry in no time. Which release date are you on?

I have to agree with Isaac. I'm running the 5/15 nightly and my battery life has almost doubled with BT and GPS turned on. I just turned BT off and set location to "battery save" so I'm hoping to squeeze even more out of it.
Don't get too excited about my doubled claim. Prior to CM11 I was running Paranoid Android (Jellybean I believe) as my daily driver and would get about 6 hours of battery life on standby. With CM 11 I get around 11 hours with light use, the Vivid is just abysmal when it comes to batteries.
Now that MMS is working the only complaint I have is with the in call mute feature not functioning, but I can live without that for now. I plan on running CM11 as my daily driver for the foreseeable future.

You're the second person that's said the 5/15 nightly has good battery life. I'll probably flash it Monday.

Ain't that the truth. I'm sporting a 3500mAH extended battery and I get like 12 hours with light use. Can't wait until I can afford to upgrade and put the Vivid on a permanent leash. Maybe make a media server out of it.
Well I stand corrected. I'm still running the Albinoman 5/15 nightly (loving it) and over the weekend I conditioned the battery by running it dead and then overcharging it while it was turned off. I now get 24 hours on light usage and about 10 hours on heavy usage. I had tried this process on other builds and versions but this is the first time it's actually worked. The battery I'm using is the battery that came with the phone. I'm amazed!

Don't unplug it or turn it on once the charge indicator turns from orange to green. Keep it plugged in and offline for another 2-3 hours.
Hello everyone,
I am using Nexus 4 again after I managed to replace the battery and now I remember that even with a new one, the phone sometimes cannot last a full day.
I remember that I was using Faux123 Kernel on KitKat back in 2013 but that files are not longer available anymore since the host is dead and mirrors as well. Using that combination I would get arround 24 hours with a Nexus 4 battery.
I can say for sure that using 5.1.1 LMY48T and Sinai latest kernel you could last a day. I need faux control kernel for speaker amplification since the default speakers sound too low, also you can adjust the MIC gain. I posted a screenshot with battery running the 2nd day and I have to say it's quite OK.
It still is awake 27% but at least it will get me through the day.
Besides using stock ROM and different kernels what other settings would you recommend? I know for example that you can also use SINAI on Lineage the battery will drain very fast.
The way I use the phone:
no NFC, no GPS, data only when I am not at work (driving).
I will post here better results after more tests , I am mostly interested in using a 7 version with latest security patch.
I thank all the devs once again for keeping this phone alive for such a long time!

Try the Matr1x kernel, which is based on Faux123
or
mod by JaMeVu
and write something more about the tests.

thank you very much!
With stock ROM and Sinai latest kernel version I got 2 hour of SOT and 12 hour of battery after first day after installation.
I will post screenshots tonight being the 2nd day.
I have also been informed that Chroma ROM has a 5-6 hour SOT ROM that could last 2 days. I will try to test that as well.

Probably my favorite rom for nexus 4. Using the hellspawn kernel (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...wn-n4-t3347850) with smartmax CPU governor and alucard CPU hotplug. Helps make the battery last a long time when streaming music.
I now have installed Pure Nexus and I got 16 hours of battery yesterday with 3 hours of SOT.
I think it's fair to say that it's great for everyday use and the default kernel has Faux123 support and you can modify CPU via kernel apps.
Believe me or not but, I just bought a Nexus 4 at eBay, so I decided install latest lineage OS build available at their servers, everything was running okay, perfomance, app install, camera has some bugs for now, including a weird bug at the video call that make my phone have BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH (BSOD) so that was weird and having that issue, despite the battery drain, so well, I just noticed that my battery was draining fast and charging take more than 4 hours on a battery of 2100mAh using a charger of 5.0v and 2.0A, wait, I forgot mention that the charge I'm using now is a Samsung Fast Charger so in my opinion maybe the fast charger is regulating the 2.0A to 1.67A which is the function of this charger, in this case i just being tired of slow charging, fast drain, BSOD and other certain problems with lineage OS kernel, I've installed the latest SLIM ROM for Nexus 4 in his stable version and all my problem were gone, the battery drain still there's since is a lineage OS kernel based but is less drain than lineage OS rom which was making me charge the phone up to 5 times per day, using SLIM ROM now i Have to charge my phone at least 2 times per day which i see it normal honestly, if this help, maybe using a custom slim rom can make your battery last long time, if you want use custom rom instead of stock

I have Pure Nexus ROM for over a month and I am very happy with battery life. I only charge it at night and when some drainage occurs I put the kernel into power saving governor.
