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
since I posted that picture I haven't touched my phone, and here's the difference:
Hello guys. I would like to hear some suggestions regarding this. So far I've tried CM7 and emanoN, but both of them drain like hell (specially CM7). Please avoid usual recomendations (turn off data, bluetooth, wireless and all those basic tips).
If there's an app, script or tweak that helps, please share it with me! My priority is battery life, above everything else.
Hope to get some replies! Thanks in advance
Skipping all the basic tips, I suggest you use a pure source-kind of rom. Something like the MOre rom or Pure CM7 by mebitek or kittenlinux, another one is GingerMod. Battery lives one those roms are so far one of the most cheered for. CM9 Beta 7 also had incredible battery life, although the link is probably gone already as mirroring is not allowed by Maclaw. As for the scripts, some mini users find these annoying and just a piece of cr*p, but as for me, I really made sure that it wasn't just a placebo effect. SlaidyBoost v2.3 works well and am happy with the performance and battery life boost that comes with it.

Thanks for your comment! What about this one?
That one was originally made to improve battery life when you use wifi most of the time for browsing the net or such, but I can see that other tweaks have been added for an overall change, and based on the comments there, some users found their minis slow down a bit. Although I haven't tried it yet, it's best if you would simply flash the rom you chose to use, boot it up and set up the settings you want initially, then reboot to recovery, make a backup of that rom, then start experimenting with various scripts found here in XDA that is compatible with our mini. If you don't like the results, then simply restore the backup you made earlier. I'll try that script you told me about if I have the time, though.

No, that ****ty script doesn't work.
I recommend you the stock ROM if you want battery life.
Stock samsung rom has the best battery life. But, on official CM7 with 604MHz for max, 122MHz for min and ondemand cpu governor, i'm having good battery life, can't complain at all. Haven't tried stock rom for ages, maybe my current setup is even better

Thanks man, but I don't think CM7 is the best option when looking for long battery life. I'm going to try de stock based ones and decide if any of them if better than the actual stock rom. Andro-ID, emanoN and GingerMod are apparently the most popular ones. Regarding the others, MORe is discontinued, so I wouldn't go for it, same as the one from kittenlinux. I'll give CyanMobile and mebitek's a try too! Trying GingerMod right now.
CM7.2 is draining battery fast because at default it's using Lil'GV2 governor which is veery agressive regarding CPU frequency! When you set it to ondemand it's much better. It costs you nothing to try it out if you haven't, stock rom is just too ugly and slowish when not rebooted regulary

Installed GingerMod (smartassV2 governor) and overnight battery dropped 35%. That is definitely not normal, and happened with the other ROMs too! Can anyone help me identify the problem?
Edit: BTW, the phone is two weeks old, and when I first bought it I didn't experience this huge drain.

TBH stock rom didn't work for me well especially regarding battery life. CM 7.2 official 710MHz/245MHz ONDEMAND battery lasts and lasts and phone is faster. Couldn't ask for more considering mini is entry level android phone for some time :good:

why dont u recallibrate battery after flashing ROMs:
1. Use app battery callibration from store, the developper is Nema i think.
Thanks, but I do that regularly, and as far as I'm concerned that doesn't improve battery life, just the accuracy of the % shown.
Chocobread with antutu battery saver is amazing I don't charge my phone one and a half day and still the battery is at 20 I love this life ... battery life.

I think stock official CM 7.2 ROM does not contain the kernel. Can anybody please confirm?
On the pc, most of power management is by the kernel. Guess here too, we should look at kernel rather than the rom.?
I may be wrong though.
So, OP, which ROM did you settle for?

Still trying them. I'd say Andro-ID is the best until now! Unfortunately it doesn't support many languages, including mine (spanish).
Chaurigol and wtfshouldidonow, I saw you commented about my project. My project was created specially to achieve a good-battery life. I cannot guarantee that your phone will have great battery life, but you can give a try. Also, you can try my mod with Adrenaline Engine. If you want to try my mod, try to use my edited Adrenaline Engine (which will work with my battery mod):

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:

I agree that DJ is one of the best ROMs...no doubt
but could i ask you why DJ 1.2.1 and not the DJ 1.5RC1....I am using the latest and it is more than a magical dream....out of the stars and heaven....I am curious why you are with an older version....

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.
gl!
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?

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) :/

It's been awhile since i started to work on my phone again, i've been using Blisspop for months now and havent replaced it ever since... i'm not satisfied when it comes to battery life and gaming performance
may i please have ROM and probably some KERNEL recommendations please?
I'm more into

and Travelling (so... battery life is a must for me)
Thank you for your time
Hello friend I've used almost all available ROM'S out there so I recommend you to use AICP...Good performance and better battery for me its very good great features....better ram management if you can manage ram means your device performance will be good......

Dirty unicorns 4.3.1 with greenify
Hello.
I'll be unlocking my bootloader soon, at first I wanted to install the Xiaomi EU rom but then I found out about all these beautiful ROMs and I couldn't decide.
I don't like the Pixel Experience ROM because I don't have that freedom of editing/customize the theme etc.
The Resurrection Remix ROM seems the best in that case, and I've heard it's also great performance wise.
What Kernel should I use with it? Does it drain much battery? More than standard MIIUI?
Thank you in advance
Generally, the kernel included with the ROM will be most stable, I use RR Oreo + Gabriel back then, it was almost compareable battery life (or drain a lot more) but heats more than what Xiaomi.eu + Gabriel for me and that might just be what makes RR drain more.
You can try Clarity and maybe it performs better, but generally I like Gabriel better because of how much you can tweak the kernel
Clarity sounds cool, which version should I download?
There's one with the CPU overclocked and one without the overclock

Obviously without overclock is best with your battery, if you want a balance I would set the BIG cores at stock frequency, and overclock the LITTLE cores for whatever, which I am not sure if Clarity can do, but I heard 2.9 has been good, though you will miss out on lots of updatea up to 3.7
Clarity works very good no issues latest version is 3.8
