Edit: go ahead and move me, wrong forum...
What is the ROM that you guys have experienced the best battery life on? I had great battery life on one of the Cognition betas right after DG started using Froyo, but I don't know which one .
I'm using Perception Build 7 and I get a strong full day of use, but I would love to get more. I usually keep certain battery-draining activities to a minimum (e.g. auto-updating apps) so I would like to see even better performance, battery-wise.
So what's your experience with battery life and different ROMs?
Any of the latest cognition roms were best for me. I find that the ported roms are never quite as good.. but im using them anyway for the speed.
I found the insanity rom with the cogkernel was a pretty good combo. The rom was minimal and the kernel was just uv and not oc. It was pretty good. It rivaled the battery I got with frankentwiz and the unhelpful uv combo,Which ill miss forever T.T

I just flashed 4.3, going to see how it does!
Hi,
Just wanna know people's experiences with roms and battery life?
Which one is the best ? This is subjective but generally speaking which one stands out.
Also, does Froyo have the vodoo battery life - where it just disappearrs? Had this once on mine. GB is better ?
Cheers
I have used stock Froyo and stock Gingerbread, and in my opinion Gingerbred is more better than Froyo in many things.

Overcome Gold , as Far its very good with battery life and its much better than the stock gingerbread
Stock is better because the latest oc has overclock which seems to make my gt warmer.As electronics is my profession I know that heat is a major stress factor for components.
I also share the same opinion as thepitbull regarding overclocking.
You can also use setcpu to underclock but for me I'd rather stick to simpler means.

In case you do undervolt only, that should help you battery life?
I'm using Overcome RC1, Gingerbread, and I need to reset the battery and the battery stats, since battery life seems nearly only 25% of stock.
However I know that once this is done, the batterylife is very good.
I will check out beta3 Honeycomb tonight or tomorrow when it gets released, was quite happy with the batterylife of HC Beta 2
Hello guys! On sunday, my gf and I are going on a trip to UK and France. I'll be able to use my phone to taking pictures, sending SMS's, connect to Wi-Fi, posting to Tumblr/Facebook and listen to music, but will probably not be able to charge the phone every night. Therefore, I think I've to change ROM from Galnet MIUI to a custom stock ROM to get a longer lasting battery. MIUI is a fantastic ROM, but I can't get the battery to last longer than 18 - 24 hours with semi-heavy use.
So which ROM would you choose on a holiday trip, where you want to connect to internet a few times every day, taking pictures, you name it, without being able to charge every night? Or, is there any CM7/MIUI -kernels that is very battery efficient?
Would appreciate answers.
If you don't matter going back to Froyo just take Darky's 9.5. In my opinion best Froyo-ROM and even better than Darky 10.1.
But I probably wouldn't use CM7 on holiday, it just drains too much battery (but it is one of the best ROMs) for SGS...

Thank you for the answer.
I don't want to go back to Froyo, but how is Darky 10.1? Is it kind with the battery too?
I don't know, I tried 10.1 for only 2h, then I flashed CM7.
But for the things you'll need on holiday 9.5 would be perfect.

just my opinion if froyo is an option:
use the last froyo based ultimate rom (8.2) by webstar and combine it with the last froyo kernel by damian (1.3 beta 3 i believe) This kernel also allows uv which saves some battery as well
I've used this combination for quite some time and I am still amazed by battery life and stability!
Again, thank you for answering! I don't like to think about a downgrade, but I shall think about using either Darky's or Ultimate. But, let us say that these Froyo ROMs doesn't exists, which Gingerbread ROM have the best battery life?

Try a jvp rom
Insanity cm 014/glitch
well problem is... if you go for a sammy gb rom you will have to flash gb bootloaders, then flash back to froyo when/if you return to MUIU or CM7
Bujv9. Stock with damiens beta 7 i think is the best real world battery life. I tried jvp with gto and went back to bujv9. Just my opinion though...whatever works for you.

Juwe's smart edition, very good battery life
Thank you for replying! Juwe's ROM looks interesting, maybe that will be my holiday ROM. Will install it later.

I have tried CM7 before, it drained a lot battery on my phone. But I think any Rom will no-better than another battery from ebay.
Hey guys. I too am going on holiday next week.
I will be taking a lot of 720p videos and pictures.
Therefore, MIUI Galnet is not going to be the best rom for me to use.
Juwes rom as been mentioned in this thread. Can anyone else confirm that this is one of the best roms for excellent battery life, if not are there any others?
Yes, Juwe's ROM isn't bad - just try it.

when I'm going on holiday, I try not to replace the proper tools with the sgs. So for pics and video, I use a real photocamera... not the emergency microbic sensor normally mounted on smartphones, even our beloved sgs. Since you're planning to take videos and pics, you should also plan about the best way to take them!
cameras on smartphones... this should be matter for another thread really... as an example, I read here and there people worrying about focus bugs, but depth of field is a function of sensor size (size, not pixel count) and sgs sensor is SO small that DOF tend to be always infinite and the focus problem irrelevant.
My bottom line: don't waste juice and bring a real camera!
Cm7 and miui don,t Have fantastic battery life try jetpack it has very good battery life !
Sent from my sgs
kernel: galaxian
Rom: jetpack
Darky's 10.2 is best for me giving more battery life and performance.... My suggestion is to use Darky'sROM they have good support also.
I've been on CM7 for a little while and really like the overall look and feel but am completely fed up with the absolute atrocious battery life. Even with the new 1800mAH battery I can barely make it through a work day (7:30am-6:30pm).
I was on Firefly 3.0 for a long time before trying CM7 and pretty much liked it a lot.
I havent decided if I want to go back to FF3.0 or should I try a different gingerbread based ROM. So I'm asking for some opinions and input. Whats the best ROM out there that has a great mix of good performance, good battery life, and good overall look and feel?
Thanks!
TBH, Froyo. I get crappy battery on all of them but when I run stock Froyo my battery last all day. Just my .02

give a shot to IlluminatedOne...Its based on i897 GB...I am using from last week, it had good speed and my battery last 15-16 with heavy use and 3G on for more than 5 hrs...
Without 3G on (wifi only) I reach 20 hrs....
Fusion and Fasty is also good roms.....

The 'best ROM' is subjective - and usually leads to unnecessary posts. Read through the various threads and make up your own mind.
I've used Faux123's kernel for awhile, has anyone used both and if so which has the best battery life?
faux123's still has the best battery life and speed in my opinion. I've been using it since the first release, and my battery life can last up to three days with heavy usage while using the kernel, I even had it overclocked to 1.7 GHz.
Also, we now have a Q&A section, please remember to post your question in the appropriate section next time.
wow!
3 Days is a miracle from my experiences, I believe this is with light use! I must admit I find myself curious to try it!
i have general and development bookmarked so I didn't even know there was a question section, thanks though!
No problem, I hope you have come to a conclusion to which kernel works best for you.
Faux's kernel is still my favorite, i feel like kozmik's has too much extra stuff like sleep to wake, im sure that isn't great on the battery life.

It has negligible impact on battery. All it does essentially is imitate the power button to unlock.
Personally if I felt that battery life was the moat important thing about a phone then I would just buy an non smart flipphone
