Anyone have an opinion?
It varies by rom and phone. There is no clear way to know how your phone will react unless you flash a rom. Also, these threads usually get locked for the reason I mentioned. Flash and test is the best policy.
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
Rom is pretty much personal preference, the kernel with the best battery is Speedmod, hands down.

I think you need to find a new partner.
checks the roms and kernel i am using. 1 hour 55 mins calls with 18 hours standby, and still have 71% left
I've had great battery life (around 3 days of light usage) with Darky's 8.0 + Speedmod K12I + JL3 Modem on my first Captivate. But as flashman2002 mentioned, your experience may vary. I haven't been able to get the same amount of battery life on my current Captivate so far, so I'm in the process of trying other ROMs myself.

For a non OC/UV kernel, I'd agree.
With all kernels included, Glitterballs' (and I assume setiron's) starts getting better battery life with undervolting. With UV settings of 175/150/150/150/125/100 at 1.2GHz, I get better battery life than Speedmod. I'd probably get even better battery life if I backed it down to just 1GHz.

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614427
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
since I posted that picture I haven't touched my phone, and here's the difference:
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.
Sent from my CAPPY running cooked v8 gingerborg, hardcore speed mod, with AndroiDena galassia theme: with Xda app!
hmm. to the best of u guys knowledge, can i hear from u guy which combinations (roms, kernel, modem) is the best for batt life?
i had tried the wiping of batt stats, but the result is almost the same. my galaxy s can hardly last for a day with normal usage (facebook, few mins of games, texts)
kinda disappointed the batt life of galaxy s. lol
Overall Darky rom tend to have low battery life, drain, etc. I tried first with Hardcore's kernel, then Voodoo, which was even worse. The idle drain was not that bad, but when I used the phone... 2min/1%!!! That was mad.
So I put back the old and reliable doc rom with speedmod, and although it's not that smooth, the battery life is pretty powerful!
(no lagfix)
would be kinda easier if you did a POLL here which kernel to use for good battery life.
I am on stock JPY 2.2.1 + speedmod and my SGS battery almost doubled.
Ive heard the Damian's kernel with undervolting is very good for battery life
ok polls are up.
Do let me know if i missed out any good roms / kernels combinations, as I gathered them based on popularity.
and also if possible, share yur opinion on the performance of the roms / kernels that u are using. thks =D
more polls pls!
It all depends upon the way you use it. I prefer Stock Kernel for battery life.
Jve gingerbread modem has made the biggest improvement in battery life for me
Stock JPY, Insanity SpeedMod OC-1200Mhz/UV, ext4, JVE gingerbread Modem,
fiancees captivate is currently running cm7.1 rc1, with whatever kernel was required to be used from the old 7.0 nightlies.
battery life sucks, maybe 12 hours with light usage and its <15% left.
id prefer to stay away from touchwiz if possible. what rom or kernel, or combination of the two would give the best battery life/stability. I really dont want to mess with OC/UV. I was suggested the glitch kernel with cm7 but dont know if i have to mess with OC/UV to get the best battery life. any help is appreciated, she is tired of her phone dying early in the evening.
All depends on the person. ROMs usually don't drain battery. The biggest battery drainer is the modem, then kernel. Go try Serendipity VII.
I used Cog 5 for a long while and was getting good battery life.
hi everybody. i've tried both kernel named in the title but, being a noob, i can't decide which one is better. can you expalin me which is more convenient to use and why it is? thanks alot
it depend on ur need, for me abyssnote.
i prefer also abbys kernel but the best solution would be to test kernels by yourself ;D
After trying both, Franco kernel, for me, is the best, no lag, smooth, good performance and great battery life.
the new franco kernel 6 in my opinion runs very smoothly. I slept through the night (7hrs) and my phone's battery didn't lose even 1% (I use Juice Defender to put my phone in flight+silent mode during the night).
I found both of the kernels very well, however I am testing out Abyss 4.0 as it has the ability for overclocking and undervolting which the Franco-kernel not yet supports. Prior I ran Franco v. 2, 4 and 6 which all were good with a better battery life than my previous Abyss-kernels (probably due to lower frequency used).
Franco is the way to go for me. It's stable, fast, and very easy on your battery. No overclocking or undervolting, though. If you are into these, chose Abyss.
Both of them are good kernel.
Been changing those kernels back and forth between new releases.
So far, I'm on Abyss.
Depends on your needs. OC go for Abyss, No OC go for Franco. Both of them have great battery life.
just tried abyssnote v4.0 final with TW recovery by koush, awesome recovery, thanks Angelom.
How do I enter recovery mode on the SGH-I717 Note? I dont have a home button I can press but instead the touch. I cant get it to reboot in recovery mode.
Try volume up and down buttons (same time) and the power..
Franco #2 is a clear winner for me in CF and Franco #2 in terms of battery life...
+1 franco v6 kernel coming from speedmod.
+1 Franco v6 with RocketRom v22. Loving it so far

I also prefer Abyss if you need/want OC
I tried all note.kernels and none of the.kernel up par with Franco. Not evem close

Franco 7 with Darkyrom 3.3. Amazing on battery life for me.
Franco's kernel no question. He is known for is fast, great battery life kernels check the nexus s and galaxy nexus. His kernels are awesome.
So what is your average battery life with the Franco kernel? I have the Abyss 4.1 right now, and it loses around 2-3% overnight and definitely can last around 1 and a half day with minimal usage.
Neither... I'm using FM kernel right now and I can surely vouch the longetivity of my Note's battery life...
2 days already with 40% battery level... 1 hr of internet, 30 mins of calls everyday.. 100 texts, emails and news feeds...
Tried Franco's kernel.. I was not satisfied with the expectant rate of my battery level dropping 3% in just a span of an hour.. I also tried AbyssNote, made a comparison with Franco's kernel, and though there is slight difference in terms of battery life, but the many issues I read on AbyssNote forum of BLN and stuffs made me wary of keeping it on my Note...
So I tried back FM kernel and made a decision not to charge it everyday (I used to charged my Note whenever and wherever I can).
Now, I am never going back to flashing another kernel again (with Franco's or with Angelom's Abyss), unless some of the issues mentioned on some users (on their respective threads) can fully be smoothen out..
Just my take.....
