As what the title says.
SGS has a good performance, but uses really a lot battery in every ROM.
Which one uses the least?
Stock ROM.
there are millions of threads out there explaining battery life and which ROM has best battery life.
is there really any need for another pointless thread ??
battery will get worse if you leave stock ROM, it might change a lot or a little, so if battery life is important to you, stay on a stock ROM
Oh I am sorry.
I find lots of threads about battery life but I didn't find any about which ROM has the best battery life.
And I assumed that there will be some tweaks to have better battery life.
there are many tweaks, including finding the right kernel and undervolting it.
avoid using task killers- they do more harm than good.
stay away from CM7 - MIUI these have battery drain bugs
the list is endless, i would recommend making your own rom at www.romkitchen.org
only cook stuff into the rom that you will use, there are many roms out there packed full of **** we dont use, thus leading to battery drain.
just be wise when choosing
out of old experiences
best i tried was a combo of rom and kernal
insanity rom with a laststufo kernal
of course it isn't the latest version of either but i remember it gave me a big batt diff
usually lasted from 6am to 1pm afternoon before the batt ran out
but with that combo it lasted a full day 6am to 10pm and had about 40% left
also optimized with tasker to watch net usage with screen off and a net check every 10 mins for email notification
found out default email app was bugged so forwarded all my hotmail emails to gmail and that fixed that
now after getting me a lot o spare batteries hell i run thru 3-4 batts a day with everything on and i mean everything with OC as well , hell lot of msn, twitter, facebook, games, browsing im all fun now woohooo ^_^ TY Chinese wall battery chargers ^_^
I use Gemini App Manager to control which app that runs during startup and that helps tremendously to battery life. Juice Defender helps too if you have 3G on. This way you can use any ROM you like and not get too much battery life difference.
I also feel that Gingerbread in general seems to improve on battery life, but I was only on Froyo for 2 days since getting the phone so not a very wide assessment

Yea, so iam looking for a ROM which has the best battery life!
My uses:
Wifi
Half an hour of app usage(excluding messaging and calling)
constant messaging
slight OC, 710 Mhz
3 to 4 hours of calls each day!
Iam currently on the Hybrid V.5 Rom, and although the battery life has improved since V.4! but iam still looking for Senseless or sense ROM with speed, stability and a great battery life!
Just SetCPU itself can achieve this. Create a profile with low max speed (352) and min speed (245) when the Screen is off. You will notice a dramatic increase in battery life. Lastly, 710 MHz is not a "slight" OC by any means.
Although, with your usage pattern, it seems you are a pretty heavy user, so, I doubt you will see too much of a potential change with this. For the record, after I created the SetCPU Profile, battery life has gone up for me from about 1.5 days to more than 2 days now (Sometimes 3- 3.5 days with light usage), and, the scenario was similar on both, WildPuzzle 2.2.1 and CM7. (It is better though with CM7, so I am assuming AOSP ROMs are better battery managers than Sense ROMs)
CM7 for is best for battery life. But i didnt try all roms, but much.
I'd have to recommend CM7 Nightlies.
It's just so good.
For example:
Battery is fully charged at midnight, went to sleep while listening to songs and when I woke up the next morning it's still at 100%. I also do constant messaging. Other than that, I'm on WiFi and have set the phone to run in 2G mode only.

dont mind but this seems absurd must be something wrong try to boot into recovery and clear battery stats before you put it to charging next time..

agree with you
Definitly CM7 it's far the best for battery saver, cause Gingerbread was created also for that pourpose.
I'm searching for custom ROM that has at least a decent battery life.
I'm on Darky's v10.1, but I'm getting Android OS bug very often (and then battery lasts for 5-6 hours), and when I'm not, battery life is around 10-12 hours. I'm pretty annoyed that my battery can't last for whole day and I'm looking for ROM that will give me at least 16 hours of battery life. Also it's preffered that ROM is pretty fast too. Thank you
Try XWJSD, the latest 2.2.1 firmware. Batery life is prety good and it is the fastest froyo so far. On my phone about 35 hours on normal usage..
Oh, I would like to have Gingerbread firmware, I don't feel like degrading my phone back to froyo :/
That's strange cos I'm on Darky's v10.1 and it's the best I've found so far. Battery is lasting me about 16 hrs on average, depending on what I use it for. Day to day use of calls, lots of texts, some internet and some pics can see 16hrs.
There is always this option: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1930mAh-REPLACEMENT-BATTERY-SAMSUNG-I9000-GALAXY-S-/250807245269?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a6546d9d5
Well, I guess it depends on what you use it for - but it's not enough for me. And I heard this battery isn't making much difference...
Ok, thanks for letting me know about the battery replacement. I was considering one of them for myself
Hey, unsure if this will interest you or not, but I use Juice Defender ultimate and it is absolutely amazing!
Depending on your usage (much of the time my phone is idling) and whatever settings you set, this app will make your battery last a very long time.
I've just check my phone's battery usage and after 15 hours I'm still on 78% battery.
Obviously these figures would change dramatically with more usage but just thought there wasn't any harm in letting you know about it if you didn't already know. 8)
PS: I'm using Darky's ROM v10.1.
I have the following ROM and battery consumption is very low. Try it and comment.
PDA: I9000XWJVH
Phone: I9000BUJV3 from BUJV9.
CSC: I9000OXAJVK
KERNEL :Voodoo test 6.0 de supercurio.
If you prefer, you can change the CSC file for another.
Greetings.
juwe's rom,always wifi on, with aggressive use more than 1 day,
moderate use 2 days
only calls and sms more than 2 and a half day!
try "Advance task killer" app
keep it to stop all program when screen off
and you will see the battery, better than before
Hi guys! I have a dilemma: about 1h30m ago i unplugged my phone from charging was 98% battery, when i looked just now 82% i said to myself no way so i looked at the battery: gpsd(???) 63% of the usage and it kept my cpu awake 1h6m... what the heck is that? i took another look with zdbox (if anyone could suggest a better app to view this stuff it could be great) and it didn't show anything suspicious i mean the biggest drain was by pure calendar grid about 6%...
my battery used to go down really quickly but now im using lulzactive governer in devil kernel (CM9 Alpha) its a lot slower drop when on standby.
eg i put a fully charged battery in the phone 3 hours ago and its just dropped from 100-99% over this time, although wasnt used much only sent a handful of texts.
for a better battey live , i recomandet 2.3.6 jvz stock , without flash roms , roms have problems with optimization on how its work , its use more resourse that normal
stock
thanks for your replies but i've been using this rom (signature) for a while now and i haven't seen this kind of drain until today and i don't know what that was because the phone was on stand by.... i have't touched it and that "thing" used up about 16-17% of the battery in 1h (keeping the cpu active)

It all depends what you use your phone for, It's no problem to drain your battery in 3 hours while playing power hungry games. So screen on time does not say much. It highly fluctuates depending what's running on your device. On average KitKat gives you a little longer battery then lollipop
Ok
i dont have any game on my note
regular use... Whatsapp, mail...

After flashing a rom (stock or other) the phone will be hot and that can have a huge affect on battery life if you try to test it straight after that. Give it a full discharge and recharge, check to see if your mobile coverage is weak too as that can affect battery a lot no matter what rom you are on. Especially if you use apps like WhatsApp, which try to get push messages from a weak signal area.
In my case lollipop gives more screen on time , around 6 hours and 16hrs life in total .Where as the KitKat standby time is better . Really depends on usage , but 3 hours SOT only in Whatsapp and mails is pretty bad
Install better battery stats or wake lock detector , de-bloat unwanted system apps and flash a custom kernel and tweak CPU profiles .. I am sure u will churn out 5+hrs SOT after fine tuning . Good luck !
On my lollipop before i had only 3 hours screen time and my battery will be under 20% after 9 hours usage. Now i downgraded to kitkat, as you can see i got a suberb battery life. Playing CoC, facebook, viber, emails, calls, and browser. And my phone was only charged at 90% when i unplugged it. Im in the office most of the time, cant play on the phone often
Have you tried turning off the features of your phone that you don't use like Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi connectivity and the mobile data usage.

Any conversations about battery life are very subjective. There are so many variables involved, what apps you use, what your local basestation is, even what wifi you home router uses along with what sort of charger you use, can all influence battery life and longevity. You can't compare your hours of use with someone else, unless you have two cloned phones and live in the same house and get up and go to bed at the same time
Fo me, best stock rom for battery life is presently Slim 2.0
I don't think KK roms were that good at battery saving.
I have had pretty much the same apps and same usage on my phone through KK, LL and now MM.
With MM I am looking a 4 days on one charge, when I was on KK it was 2 possibly 3.
Although to scew those figures I now use more battery saving apps greenify/amlify
So in reality, the different firmwares are probably all the same battery use, it's just that you get better at looking after the battery the longer you have the phone.
