Since I rooted I've been getting horrid battery life. I used my phone for 10 minutes today texting and the battery life's consumed 7%. This is not good.
Check in your sync to make sure your calendar or contacts ect. aren't stuck trying to sync. This happened to me, and phone was dying in a matter of a few hours.
Mine is like that too I was thinking about switching to Another since I hear that Rom gets better battery life.
There are several existing battery threads. You should ask questions in there.
Hardly used my phone for 40 minutes today and down to half battery life. Can't somebody throw me a bone here?
You could try flashing one of the undervolted kernels from IntersectR or Diet. I noticed it helped a fair bit on the Cyanogen rom. Another option could be to switch to the Enom 1.8.1 rom. I'm currently running the Enom rom with IntersectR hybrid kernel and get fairly good battery life.
I had this too, flash any other kernel and it seems to fix itself. Intersects is a good call.

Same here, man
I flashed this kernel:
OC/UV kernel + HTC_Camera Addon for 1.8.1
and this rom:
TheOfficial_Nexus1_v1.8.1_update.zip
from this thread:

Is that the kernel that's being praised for having good battery life?

I'm running this combo, and I get 10x better battery life than on Cyanogen's!
Good to hear. Ill report back with my findings after a few days useage!
I was having battery troubles, but I just charged my phone fully then wiped the battery stats in recovery and have had great improvement.
Is there such thing as a desire ROM that has good battery life for the N1?
sorry, Cyano506 has great battery live... you must be doing something wrong..
yeah I must of installed a cyanogen from a different person...
....hey--wait a minute...
Battery CM 506
..this is not too bad for 506...
Thats what I am using now with the addition of juice defender free which gave me a small but noticeable boost in battery life. These things together gave me the juice to make it through the day without scrimping on my usage, before I had to either scrimp or charge during the day to make it.

well damn. I am currently looking for a new kernel. What are u running? I have a kernel from late January. From what I hear there are several good ones out there with better battery life. I am running 5.0.6 also
I don't understand. Look:
I've hardly even used it :S

Which rom has stable and longlife battery?
Cause of my friend just take first smartphone captivate ( She is older and low tech )
I try serveral roms but does not get a stable rom. Hope sombody will help me
The Darky ROM has been very stable for me. You can find the page for it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890429
It is still being updated on a semi regular basis. The battery life is better than normal too.
I really think battery life has to do with the kernal. I might be wrong but I think you should look for specific kernals and use them.
And I think most roms are stable. you can try cognition. Assonance. Darky
I personally like darky the best so try it out!

Yep, the kernel has the largest part to do with battery life, but it's not the only thing.
If you're into tweaking, I recommend glitterballs' kernel, steam or regular. Undervolt and disable overclocking and you'll get utterly ridiculous battery life. 69% battery life currently with over 21 hours of uptime and moderate usage.
As for a rom, I'd recommend Serendipity, or if you don't mind the Samsung glass lockscreen Cognition 3.0x seems like it has a lot of promise (though I haven't tried it myself as I hate that lockscreen).
I have flashed many roms, and ive noticed the biggest diff. in battery life is definitely with the kernel, i am running docs rom 7.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882397 that i cooked in the kitchen. with Hardcores speed mod kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880 and androidena theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770507. I have went thru many updates with hardcore's kernel, he updates quite often and docs rom is updated quited often also, and seems to be one of the better rom's and the dev. he is always there to answer any questions. Now to the point i have went to full cycles with my battery fully charged and ran to dead, i have sceen shots of both cycles. First batt cycle i went 1day 6hrs from last plugged in. 2 hours of screen on. 20 min of voice calls. the next cycle i went 1 day 5 hrs with 13% left, with roughly the same screen on time. I have never found anything better than this, so i'm staying with this combination, and update the kernels reg. and question pm me if you'd like.

thx so can you introduce which kernel have long life battery
I mainly flash with Cognition or darkys ROMs. I've found that darkys gives me both better battery life AND a more stable experience.
I would use hardcore speedmod kernel. Link is in my last post. 500 hz cwm I'd what I chose to install thru recovery.

So I used to think CM6 had the best battery life so I flashed 6.1.0 but not much battery life change so im starting to think that maybe it was actually cm 6.0.0 that had best battery life but im unable to find it so I can test it. So im here asking you all what Rom has brought you the best battery life to your cdma hero no matter if its 2.2 or 2.3
CM + AOSP = DABIZZNIZ
I would like to know what's your measure of "best" battery life?
try using aosp - jaybob's rom, best rom with battery life, used it pretty heavily and got 15 hours

My measure of best battery life is not losing 10% of my batery life doing nothing. I remember when my battery would be be at 40% I go to sleep wake up and its about 30%, now its dead by the time I wake up

don't need to flash the kernel since it's already in the rom. Just do a full wipe and bam ! I'm actually trying the latest one (june-08) but the june 4 version gave me that 15 hour
personally i have found that the rom you choose itself doesnt really matter, its more about your personal usage, i.e what apps u have running, cpu settings, etc. i usually get around 15-20 hours battery life with pretty heavy mp3 use, lots of texting, and about two hours or so actually on the phone. but i make sure i leave data/wifi/gps etc. off unless i need it. also, its a good idea to check and stop apps that automatically load with the phone that you dont need. imho the only roms that seem to drain the battery quicker are the sense based ones, at least from my own experience.

I was thinking about starting a new thread about this, but you are explaining EXACTLY what I am going through. I wake up today (after leaving my phone charging at night) and turn on my phone, and first thing I see is an 80% battery (this is a normal occurance). After literally doing NOTHING on it all day (except for a 30 minute call) it turns off by itself at 20%.... after 8 hours. So while I got 2 hours better than you, keep in mind that I did virtually nothing. What is worse about it is i'm supposedly using the "best rom" for battery life (AOSP 2.2. + battery tweak).
I've wiped battery stats (after reading the correct way to do it) and checked the health of my batter (reads as "good") and i'm still clueless. I'm wondering if I should even waste my money on a battery and hope that's it? I've only had the phone exactly a year and about a week so I'de be disappointed to know the battery lasts this short. I remember being on another froyo ROM (with the battery tweak) using it more than I am now going to bed anywhere between 30 and 50% which is about where it's at at lunch time now! I can't believe that i'm actually ok with the performance of my hero, it's just the battery that's killing me now !
And I plan on staying away from the GB ROMS until they get the GPS issue resolved. Let's just say that I was in Colorado a couple of weeks ago and my phone failed when I need it to work.... flashed froyo almost immediately when I got back (that's another topic)

i believe you are correct, if you got it from the download section of rom manager, its the same one, ben using for a while now, no FCs no issues. smooth and pretty fast too
Does anyone have any recommendations for a rom that is pretty fast and smooth while having great battery life. Also any tips to get really good battery life such as processor speed and kernels etc..any opinions appreciated.
I use jaybobs aosp or cm7 with .29 kernel so I can use my headset. I use setcpu and clock 576/691 at full power then drop it if battery gets too low or raise it when I'm charging. The only way you'd extend battery life drastic is to live with a good signal and actively manage your data connections and sync.

hmm i will try it ive used cm7 and aosp but they seem to lag for me when im using the keyboard alot but ill try that kernel and see how that goes. I guess what you said about the battery life make sense cause i live in a area with pretty bad sprint service. guess i can fix that by turning off data while i plan to not use my phone thanks for your respond. Anybody else have any suggestions?
I recently just installed jaybobs rom (august 14th) like 4 days ago. I use the kernel .35 CPU=480min/710max
along with the v8 tweaks, and firerats.
As of right now my battery is 19h 29m 0s on battery at 21% battery level
Texted a lot, talked for a few minutes, update apps on market. I only use it to talk and chat cause i have a tablet that i do my surfing or gaming stuff =P

Well im running OMFGB August 12 nightly its one of the fastest and smoothest 2.3 rom ive ever used i havent used the aosp verion though so i dont know how smooth that one is. And i have email syncing and facebook and i use google voice a lot i mostly do texting and i keep my homescreens without any widgets that need to update a lot. i also calibrated my battery so i could get pretty decent battery life which in my opinion is 12 Hours but im still looking on ways to improve it.
ohh, i see. Yeah i know where ya comin from, I've done a lot of flashing and just decided to go with the most stable. They were all somewhat smooth but as for battery life, I've gotten the best battery with jaybobs rom.

For Battery life I would recommend extended 1900mAh batteries.
I didn't have to buy custom cover since they fit in the stock back cover.
2 batteries with external charger with shipping would cost you about $20.
I get about 2 days on a single charge with moderate use.
I am using CM7.1 nightly 160 at the moment.
If you are interested let me know I will point you towards the retailer
I bought them from on Amazon/Ebay.
Well im going to try jaybobs rom then and see how that does yesterday with OMFGB rom i got 11h 59m 2s and after that it shortly died off and im just running setcpu at 729 max 691 min performance lol i think i really need to change that if i want save battery does any one have any good setcpu profiles they would recommend? And i might look towards buying a extended battery but i dont really want to seeing as my upgrade is in december.

Well that is what killing your batteries right there
I am no expert but I will tell you what I use,
I only use 1 profile besides the main one on setCpu:
Screen On/Main: 691 max 176 min (On Demand)
Screen Off: Max 264 min 19 On Demand ( Since I dont use it for music or anything else screen off with min 19 is no issue for me)
By the I also use v6 Super Charger and V8 kernel tweaks and they do make
your phone very snappy and responsive!!
Best of luck
I recently flashed gingerbread hero deck and it's pretty nice. But, something weird I notice is that my 3g download speeds have dropped off considerably (from 1200kbps range to 600). I can't explain it. I was on aosp's 5-23 rom before. I also recently started using firerats mod. Not sure what's up.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Its the build prop that causes it. I'd use the V8 3g tweaks to see if it helps.
okay ive installed OMFGB 1.3.1 nightly 8/17 and with the V6 scirpt runs well along with the v8 and the 3g one which i cant recall the name of but everything now runs really good but im still calibrating the battery so i still have to see how that goes but so far its been good. Thanks for the tips everyone now to try out this jaybobs kernel hopefully everything will still work well.

How much does it last with a "normal" use? I have the same kernel + teamics 4.2 but i'm not completely satisfied...
Also i'm interested in some others opinions since i have the same OP's question in mind
The best ICS roms regarding battery are 4.0.4 roms. Semaphore kernel works very good too.

I use SmartassV2. I use my phone very much and it still lasts for at least 24 hours.
until now, slimics+kernel stock seems the best choice for me.
For example, this morning:
- 40minutes listening to music
- wi-fi always on
- brightness almost at maximum
- 20 minutes with adobe reader
and only 25% burnt down.
I've used semaphore for a long time, very good kernel though, but the battery life ain't enough for me.

Here is a screenshot from my battery stats. I used my phone almost the full 7 hours, jet only 30% down. I think that is pretty good!
Slim by far. The ROM has literally no bugs, way more features than default ICS but doesn't have any bloatware. Battery life is awesome with default kernel & as for performance, its smooth as silk. Can't say about the others but literally for months I haven't even come close to considering others, there's no point. I haven't even upgraded from my SGS as a result, still satisfied with my phone.

Really? A day and a half? Even on my stock gingerbread battery only lasts around 20hours on normal use.
Ok i know gamers rom v10 is not ICS but im really amazed that it has better battery life than lots of ICS roms. Now im at 50% battery and been running for almost 19 hours.
Its about with normal use i do. And i got 3g or wifi on all the time because im so lazy to restart it when needed
I might try slim because i heard so much good things about in and see the battery life if its better or not.

is there any custom gingerbread rom with bloatware removed and big free ram? and a kernel with OC/UV? plus great game compability?
how about MIUI?
Have yet to find one to best DjangoMouche 1.2.1 its GB 2.3.4 its customized, with different themes to choose from and a good bunch of performance tweaks. everything has been running smooth.
games run well, things load fast
I'm using Gueste overclock v1.8.1 kernel but thats up to choice. i found it works great between 900 - 1300mhz. but above that its rebooted on me a few times.
You could try Temasek's CM7 Rom with it's own kernel, it has OC/UV and all that things.. Run's pretty smooth and stable but i can recommend you to use GO Launcher EX with an ICS Theme :good:

Currently on DJ 1.5RC1 and have to say it is truly magical.The feel of performance,smoothness and speed is just incredible.Always try to experiment with other GB roms and always drawn back to DJ ROM.DJ roms provide many choices according to our needs and customization as we like with transformation packs.So have to say this is the best choice i will ever have:cyclops:
Same here, Django Manouche, currently 1.5 RC1, but I am using latest spica kernel ;-)

Hi, this is my first post here. I have been flashing various roms and a few basebands and rils in my quest to get better battery life from my LG Optimus 2x. In the end. Most of what I have done is experimental and I can not say I understand much about versions and combinations. Last night, I read quite a few posts about the Django Manouche rom and downloaded all the three versions of the 1.6, the stock, the Spica and the Gueste.
Flashing led to boot looping on the Spica rom, powering off on the Gueste rom while on the stock 1.6s it ran OK, with some applications not running until I rebooted.
I came from a stock LG rom and was wondering if I need to change the baseband and kernel also, for these to work.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.
I think these "best rom" threads are forbidden but I'll give my 2 cents anyway, in case I'm wrong:
for me the best rom is Gueste Hybrid revolutions 3.7, is a hybrid between stock Rom and cm7.2, and symbiosis kernel 1.3.
I get great performance, great battery life, great ram management. I can't really complain, I'm so satisfied that I'm not that eager to get ICS (at least not as much as I was before).
LG optimus 2x, rom Gueste Hybrid 3.7
@daas88. Taking your advice, I have flashed the same combination as you, just this morning. I have been very active on the phone since then, so I can't tell right away, if there is any improvement in battery life.
By the way, I continue to be on the 20i baseband.
I shall report back soon.
Temasek
Probably the cleanest install would be Temasek. A very stable CM7 build. It's sort of finished, and offers a great experience. Use it with Temasek's, Spica's or symbi0sis kernel.
I've tried DM and it's great, but this just feels cleaner.

I have been reading about the Temasek rom. What is your view on its battery consumption? That is something I am focussing on. The stock LG set up lasts for about 9-11 hours on my phone, with full 3G, about 4 hours of wifi usage and about 1-2 hour of music (Neutron music player). I have a battery pack that I carry with me to work, but it is a big bother.
So, basically, to me battery life is top priority. If I can extend it to 12-15 hours, I am home and dry.
I've used Temasek for a long period of time, and though I don't want to go back to gingerbread (currently on Paranoid Android) I do miss the battery life. With Temasek (or stock CM7) I would get about 32 hours of battery life: a day and a night. This with some browsing, playing music checking e-mail.
Overclocking would lose you some of that time, but the toggle2g app would win it back. :good:

Increased CPU performance, larger screen and stagnated battery technology will do this
As for battery life, I do miss my Nokia 3210! :laugh:
A small update. I charged my phone to 100% yesterday evening at 7 PM. From then on till now, what I observe is that with the phone in standby mode, the battery consumption curve remains almost flat. But the moment I start using some apps, for instance the Number links game for 15-20 minutes, the battery level drops by 10%.
This is with the Gueste Hybrid ROM and the Symbiosis kernel.
Further update: The battery went to 14% and then I charged it. 15 hours. Some improvement. It may be too early to comment, but this set up seems to work superbly when the phone is on standby. When the phone is in use, the consumption seems to be high. Could it be improved by changing the BB or the ril?

The O2x doesn't have a larger screen than the Galaxy S. :cyclops:
my record was 6 hours of screen on time with a cm7 rom and etana kernel with ds battery driver. but now i cant get even 4h screen on time with the same config (only updated versions) :/
maybe my battery is getting worn out...

I'd try a new battery... I can get 8 hours screen on with wifi(depending on usage but screen and wifi on constantly). Temasek and symbi0sis...
