Best Battery Rom for captivate - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have been using the MUI rom for atleast the two to three weeks and also bought the 3500mah battery as well. but still i am getting the battery about 8 hrs maximum with medium usage.
can anyone suggest me the better rom with better battery stats.
Thank you.

This thread might be closed since there is no best. My advice is use a i897 rom. They tend to offer better battery life in genera. Calibration is always a good idea and a few days to let it settle.

For battery use that bad you need help managing the battery use, it's not necessarily the ROM. You need a good program to analyze your battery use and figure out how you can make it better. I suggest you use BetterBatteryStats and go from there.

[Q]Battery Life on the current ROMS

Hey guys,
I've been wondering around for a while, and I've pretty much read every single FAQ and major ROM development threads...
But I was wondering if anybody found a "best" ROM for battery!
I've tried a few, and found that Cognition seems to drain the battery pretty quickly... Phoenix 4.5 seemed to last quite a while, but the new 5.2 seems to drain it quite quick now again!
I don't really care if my phone's slow in some parts, but I'd really like it if I could extend the battery even by a little bit... I work 8 hours a day, and my phone has no battery after I finish work (which seems extremely absurd).
I've also tried to do the battery hints and tips in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806211 with no luck...
If anybody can give me a yell on the ROM they found which lasts the longest... It would be pretty awesome!
TIA!
P.S. Also, if somebody can just give me a quick run down on the difference between ROMs/Kernels/Modems? I'm just curious, and would like to know more!
Im using ParagonRC6.0 And Im getting great battery life and i use my phone alot. I get a day and half off a full charge with a lot of use. If i use it moderate then i can get 2 full days. Just let your battery recalibrate for a couple of days to improve battery life
Ive been on Cog4 (didnt change anything) and under normal use (maybe 1-2 phone calls a day, no more than 5 mins long, 15-30 txts, and iMobster stuff) i get around 24-36 hours. Overnite while sleeping (7-8 hours) i lose about 5-10%.
While on Serendipity 5.7 (with suckerpunch kernel and jk4 modem) i get 20-30hours. And overnite i lose 10-15%.
Precision 3.5 gave me the best battery life I have ever had. I was able to go over 25 hours on a single charge with heavy use nearly all day.
Edit: I haven't used Torch yet for a full day, but I will be testing the single charge on this ROM as well and posting my results once my Captivate get's to a about %5 battery.
The ROMs that have best battery life are precision 3.5 or Merx rom (which is based off Precision)...the slim ROMs usually run very low memory which is a lot less stressful on your battery...Right now I'm running Supernova 2.3 and I can go 12-15 hours before my battery is completely dead and I'm a moderate to heavy user (facebook, XDA, youtube, etc.)
Thanks a lot guys, I'll try Paragon first... And also Precision! So many ROMs to try :3
Does Kernels/Modems do anything for battery life? I have no idea how these work though... If someone can explain it, that'd be rad!

If anything, I believe that the kernel and modem are the most important aspect of battery life. I wouldn't know too much about it, so maybe someone else can elaborate.

[3xQ] Battery Consumption

Hello everyone,
I'm running some tests to see the battery consumption on my Galaxy S i9000. I'm using the gingerbread version of darkys ROM.
Firstly, what do you think of the battery life? In this specific test I used the phone in a very light way, made some messages/calls and read few mails.
Secondly, is it normal to have depressions in the battery chart that display less battery than it shows later? How is it computed? Isn't just some logic level of the voltage battery?
Lastly, in the case of buying another battery, is it worthless to be genuine?
Thanks a lot
I have same qestion like you, in the another thread....

Sorry! Obviously I didn't searched properly. Hope someone can clarify us
Is it a gingerbread issue?
Even big batteries will "recover" after heavy use so ur graph is quite normal.
Also be aware that if the battery calibration isnt xorrect then that will lead to weird graphs too. E.g. Losing 1% over 8hrs after flashing a new rom is most likely due to inaccurate battery calibration.

When I install a new rom the battery stats are always deleted? Or it depends?
I also having the same prob...batt consumptions are always the main concern when come to flashing a new rom...Darky's can only last me for 1day with heavy usage and recently flashed to MIUI which can only last for <8hours with the same usage...im not sure why this happen but I am trying with different kernels and see which is the best combination...
I just installed a new gingerbread ROM and guess what.. Using push, wi-fi all the time, gps, 1h youtube video, sms, video call... The battery never ends!! As I'm writing the battery is still 15%. It's amazing the gingerbread in terms of battery consumption. Obviously, something in the other ROM was not right! Guess I'll stick to this battery a little more time.
Btw, the battery stats are pretty normal, no depressions..

[Q] Newbie question about battery usage

Hi guys,
It is a question about battery used of cell standby and phone idle.
It seems they used pretty much percent of battery.
Is there any tweaks or settings to reduces the usage of these functions ?

Root your phone. Uninstall all the useless programs. And use Autorun manager. Other than that i don't think there is anything for "idle" and "standby". Those are the times your are not doing anything at all.
Another good trick is to turn off 3g when not in use as it chew a bit of battery life. If im being vigilantand not using my phone to heavily I can get an extra day out of usage by doing this
I personally will try out a 1900 mAh battery from China.
The battery life is pretty annoying.

If that last longer share with us. But i don't know about China stuff. There are these good stuff and there are these.. You know. Be careful when charging though, i saw a chinese stuff got blown up.
you can try this =)

For what I know, we cant enjoy the phone if get too sensitive with the battery.
Check the link in the previous post but what I say is 1 day batt is fine compared to laptops or netbooks.

[Q] Note GT-N7000 Root Battery Problems

Hi,
Yesterday i rooted my Galaxy Note using the LiveNote ROM.
The ROM itself is very good, very smooth and retaining that Touchwiz look that i love but i have found it have serious effects on my battery life. The battery life is diabolical, only lasting 1 hour and 22 minutes of screen time, half of which i was using wifi. Before the root, my battery was not good anyway, only lasting about 3 hours screentime but this new ROM has pretty much crippled my phone.
What i want to know is this, is there any way of keeping this ROM but vastly improving battery life, say to where i was before at around 3 hours screentime? OR perhaps is there another ROM with decent performance, using the Touchwiz interface and also having good battery life?
The phone is running Jellybean 4.1.2 and i am using Philz.
Regards
James

There is a way:
Start reading the uncountable (and mostly idiotic) threads about bad battery life after flashing a ROM.
Or read threads about battery life when the baterry is older than a year.
If that is too difficult or if you are too lazy then please stay on stock ROM - not only the life of the battery will benefit from it.

I do agree mostly with the previous reply.
Still, Sweet Rom 10.5 has good batery life and performance. Live Note seems to come with c.o.h kernel which has Gpu OC. Unless you have change kernel that may affected batery.

Best ROM for VainGlory? (Best SOT)

As simple as the name states.
Just looking for which rom is stable, fast, and has long battery life.
By battey life, I mean SOT, not overall usage, since I'm using the phone mainly for Vainglory (Droid Turbo is my main driver, with a Note2 & M7 as extras for whatever I need them for (Currently use M7 for slickdeals & backup phone since I'm on T-Mobile, and the Note 2 was my main Vainglory phone, but also use it for Kik & 2nd Facebook, but would like to have the M8 be my Vainglory phone as it is a bit faster, and I'm too lazy to root the Note and install a custom rom on it. I hate Samsung. lol)
So yeah, I need to know which rom is easy on the battery enough for me to get a few hours of SOT with Vainglory

The battery life will be about the same on every Rom when you are pushing its cpus to the max, which is what Vainglory does. It's a great game, and all but it is a battery hog no matter the Rom you use. Just find a Rom you're comfortable with and use that! hope that helps you!
