I found a thread with the battery life for different captivate roms, but they are all old versions of the roms . Can we update that thread with the latest gingerbread roms? Or maybe people can write a comment on this thread saying what rom they got the best battery life with? I am not in my house for around 13 hours a day on weekdays, and I use my phone extensively, so i rely heavily on my battery life getting me through my day and that is why I would like to know what rom, gingerbread preferably, has the greatest battery life. Thanks!
Its completely irrelevant as your battery life will differ from anyone elses...
Threads like this are generally discouraged as they nearly always result in petty squabbling.

Well, it depends of the usage you give to the phone. For me, with energyrom oct 28 2.1 rom, my battery last for about 6 days but i use the phone very little time, only about 2h of conversation, 20m GPS, 20m wi-fi and 30 sms in the entire week.
From my experience ROMs from onkolog have the best battery life.
Threads like these are generally frowned upon by XDA as they create endless long threads as most people will have different views and loyalties to certain roms/chefs. For these reasons I will close this thread.
However, generally speaking wm6.1, manila 2.1 & lite roms should out perform wm6.5, manila 2.5 & heavy roms in battery life.

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
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
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.
Hi,
Whether I'm on the latest SlimBean, CM10 or CM9, battery life is always bad for me. I don't have draining apps and when the phone is idle it's not using battery at all. The problem lies within usage, when I'm using my phone, the battery life goes down too fast (when I'm using Whatsapp and Gmail. Especially when you compare it to stock.
I've done a bit of reading and many people suggest the Modem and Kernel files can have a huge impact on battery life.
So, I wonder, what would you guys recommend to increase my battery life during usage?
I've found this thread with modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870460
(My wish is a fast phone with a ROM that looks nice, like the latest SlimBean, but I appreciate battery life more. However, a rooted Gingerbread stock ROM goes so slow...)
I made this thread so that other users can discuss which is the best rom for G901F in terms of battery life.
It will save users the hassle of installing roms and then testing them for weeks to find out which is best.
So let the discussion begin!
Cynogenmod
I installed cynogenmod 12.1 where the battery life was not great, however then went back to cynogenmod 12 and battery life was much better. However after using the rom for a couple of months i have seen a steep decline in battery life even when phone is sleeping.
What is other users opinions on other roms?

Did you recalibrate the battery after updating to 12.1?
I use Simple GX Rom 1.4.1 with Kernel.
Battery life is very good. Nearly 0%/h in deep sleep.1-2% over night (9h)
I tried Nova 1.3 with stock kernel. Batterylife was a little bit lower than SimpleGX.
About 0,7%/h in deep sleep.
With Stock BOH4 Rom (Tmobile) i have lost 15-20% over night
Guys,
Just received my tablet and I am thinking about immediately swapping the stock ROM for a custom ROM but I am wondering what is the battery life comparison. I have seen benchmark comparisons which look ok (i..e slightly faster via custom ROM) but I have not seem battery life comparisons.
Specifically, because this is more a casual use tablet, I am more interested is how long the device will last when its not used, rather than on-screen time with stock versus custom, but any advise as to what is the best option. So, has anyone done battery comparisons with the various ROM's available?
Thanks
Jerome

Hey Jerome! I'm running slim ROM and the battery is amazing! It's way better than stock because all of the amzon crap is gone so its not draining the battery.
I'm a casual user on this too and only really use it in the evenings for light web browsing and a few games. The battery easily lasts me three or four days before I have to plug it again.
When the screens off and its in idle it only drains about 1% every five hours! I thought it was broken at first because I'm so used to my phones battery draining.
I don't use any power saver apps or anything. I originally had greenify,wakelock detector and better battery stats ready in case of drainage when the screen was off but deleted all of them as they were uneeded!
I'd def go custom rom! Really recommend slimrom its great!
Cm12 is great too and the battery was good on that, its just better for me on slim!
Sorry if this was a well long answer!
