How long can ur x8's battery last normally? Which rom drain less battery too?
It depends on your use...
Froyo roms are good in battery life specially minicm6
For me battery life is the best on Minicm 7 & nAa kernel. on gdx battery life was 1-2 days on actually configuration my battery life is 2 and often more then 3 days i.e. 3 days and some hours.

So I'm curious to find out what it is in custom ROM's that make the battery drain faster than when you are running the stock ROM.
When I am using the stock ROM, my battery only drains a couple percent OVERNIGHT. When using a custom ROM (Cognition for example), the battery drains about 20%..
So, what is the culprit here that does this? Am I the only one (please tell me no )

This is actually the opposite for me. My battery would never last overnight on the stock rom.

Battery drain usually only happens when you flash a rom and your battery is not at 100%. After you flash you should let the battery die before your next charge at least one or two times so the android system can create a correct battery stats file. If you flash at 100 and charge at 30% thats how much battery life your phone will think the battery can last. Just my .02 I always had bad battery life (10-12 hrs). Since I started doing it this way My battery life has doubled
Fellows, i just bought my SGS a few days ago , and the moment i bought it i upgraded it to Arabic stock froyo and a friend recommended to use stock+Voodoo-5.0.3-Froyo-GT-I9000-XXJPX kernel
i used it , got 1424 on quadrant and it was very nice in performance but i got strange battery life, it didn't last for more than 10 hours with everything switched off.
so i returned back to stock froyo (pda I9000 jpjpf, phone I9000 jxjpd) and now i got nearly 24 hours of battery life.
what confuses me is that, during using voodoo, the battery was during the first 2 charging cycles of its life, and when i returned to stock froyo , it got into the 3rd charging cycle, and now its moving on towards getting better in battery life.
so my question is , do you think that the kernel was responsible for this strange battery life, or the battery was warming up and needed to be charged and discharged to get into its performance.
also , any suggestions about kernel for battery life with good performance, personally i did like the phone when it was on voodoo @ 1424 on quadrant
please help , and sorry for explaining a lot
thanks
Quadrant is a false test when it comes to use and responsive phone .

thanks for your reply
i did like the phone when it was on vodoo, regardless of quadrent
my aim is to know about battery life

Read the battery faqs and posts on this very page .
But battery life is very very variable .
jje
i am afraid that battery faq does not have an answer to my question
i want to know if the change in kernel is responsible for that strange battery condition
or it was that the battery was at its first charge and discharge cycle?
Going from 10 to 24h of battery life, it could be a battery stats problem, it happens when changing ROMs.
But to answer your question, I dont think voodoo is responsible for the battery drain. Personally I use SpeedMod (without lagfix) with Froyo JS3 and it works really well battery-wise and performance-wise.
you don't think that voodoo is responsible ,
well that's some good news for me actually cuz i did like my phone's performance when it was using voodoo's kernel
thanks for sugesting speedmod , will read about it for sometime and see if i dare to take this action again , cuz battery life is a must for me due to my work
i can't stand the phone that needs more than one charge per day
any more ideas everyone?
I also use speedmod and battery life is excellent. Even with heavy use I get over 24 hours no problem. If I was to use it just as a phone I think I could get 3 days use.
And yes, I agree that your battery stats were probably a little messed up and should settle after a few days of use.

I'm using SpeedMod with SeaARMS' JL2 ROM and the battery lasts much longer. If you have a Galaxy S on Bell Mobility it's the best option to keep the 850Mhz radio working.
What is the BEST ROM so far for X8
Stable, Performance & Battery..
Any suggestions please..
Thanx
Froyobread for me.

Calibrate your battery,then you empty it to 0,then recharge to 100%, then you can lower the brightness,turn off gps,3g,wifi and use it only when you need it

My ROM:GingerDX v007(bond)
i use battery calibration and battery drain fix and my phone works 2-3 days (some music, some wifi, some games)
battery!
Here is my experience with the battery life.
Wipping and reseting all. Installing from scratch. Same use:
FroyoBread v23b: ___ 6 days.
GingerDX v13: ______ 2 days.
That is a HUGE difference.
I'm fan of doixanh, so I'll continue trying his wonderfull ROMs.
Note: There was a big improvement in GDX v13, v10 have only 1 day of battery.
I could have three of four days in GingerDX 011 after calibrating the battery (that calibration method where you have to wipe the battery stats in xrecovery on 0% and on 100%), if I wouldn´t use Wi-Fi so much, because my room is on the first floor (that one that people from the US call 2nd floor) and our WLAN router is in the cellar, so I can´t surf just five minutes without getting at least one dic´sconnnection, and so it connects-disconnects-scans-connects again and so on, and that needs very much battery, but during the night (mostly about 8h-10h) the battery looses normally just 1%
gingerdxv13 very stable and good battery life
I use miniCM7 based ROM, with good performance, and average battery life (1-2 day, with hard usage)

U should use gingerdx, just calibrate the battery and u're good for 3 days...

base on my experience, gingercrutz drains the most (without doing battery improvement)
MiniCM7+nAa kernel

I personally use miniCM 2.1.6, very smooth gaming ...
GCR 8.5, an eye candy but the game performance ... laggy ==''
Of course .. GingerXperiaRay is great too ...
Edit : When i used GCR 8.5 my x8 suddenly hang while charging -_- thats annoying ..
miniCM 2.1.6/GXRv4 is stabil+smooth gaming
I'm running an un-modded MIUI ROM from MIUI[dot]us and basically the battery drain is becoming an issue to which I assume its kernel and theme related. Basically has anyone got any suggestions to a compatible battery saving kernel that can aid my issue? Whilst I was on the phone now for 30 minutes it apparently used 40% battery. Thanks for the help in advance
Use the Battery Calibration App from the market. IT wtll fix your battery stats after flashing.
Sent from my SGS running ICS with the XDA premium app!
I noticed it too. One week ago I was using gingerbread, which the battery lasted for about 24 hours with the same use as now with MIUI [ICS] 4.0.3 that lasts for about 18 hours.
I calibrated the battery two times, it helped a bit.

Hello
Yesterday I flash my phone with CM7 and battery drain quickly. The batery only works 15 hours when the Stock ROM is about 36 hours.
The question is what is the best ROM for long battery life.
