I'm all about battery life and stability. I don't use a static wallpaper, don't game, disable all Bluetooth/GPS when I don't use it. I use touchwiz because it seems to be the most lag free.
I'm currently using Cassies Xtra-Lite V5 and it drains more than 1 percent per hour. doing nothing.
I used to be on an older Cassies Xtra-Lite rom and it drained 3-4 in 8 hours. Forgot which one though.
Try RevoHD

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
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
just a question again, I'm on onecosmics 4.0.3 battery drain seems to be huge, even on standby i get only 6hours max usage? where i used to have darky to last me more than occasional 15hours using heavy...
is this a bug or is it just me? :S and what is the best ROM for battery usuage? ive heard and had many revies but cant seem to be able to conclude or justify to one!! D:
please help!!
Best ROM for Battery = Stock ROMs
Why don't people understand that Alpha and Beta ROMs are prone to bugs and battery drain?
I am seeing a similar thing on ICS 4.0.3
I tried to delete my battery cache on Teamhancksungs CM12 build, I ended going from about 20 hours to around 4-5, so be carefull of doing that,
And always wait at least 3 cycles and calibrate battery. Then you'll know If there's a drain.
I did one time full battery discharge, then full charge, flashed onecosmics latest ICS port, and here is how its goes so far:
By using wifi, calls, etc. but excluding gaming & listening to music.
Had the same problem, cant expect much more though.

That's a smartphone. What do you expect? I use my charger daily. It's more than great to use It for 2 days.
I am wondering if anybody has noticed a real battery improvement after updating the official GB ROM? Probably it would be better if you could add some comparison numbers
i have the same question!!! and some people say that batery would be calibrate after some chargers... i haven't seen any improvment yet
Hopefully more people take a look at this thread and share their experience.
My own experience: NovaROM and GB V20N are the same, maximum battery I got for my daily usage are 1 day & ~10 hours. With CM7 I got max ~25 hours.
That's from my point of view, don't know other user experience, because it must have difference app installed and also difference daily usage..
Hi I am on V20B official GB for OB. Now I am getting 2 days Battery life for normal Usages (gprs, 20 calls, 50 sms, 30 Min. browsing).
Pre. in v10d (Froyo) OB is consuming 10-20% battery without any use in night. But Now it is 2-4% for whole night.
Easy trick is to disable WIFI, data and only enable 2G. U can also turn down the brightness of the screen, uninstall unused apps, sometimes reboot the phone when it's plugged to cable, cause to me it seems to clear some apps, that are running in the background and i dont wanna close em manually and screen-time-out time is also an important fact to look at.
Previously i have v10d, it last about 12-15 hours.
I updated to Zeus ROM and i have 18-22 hours now.
I turn on wifi 3-5 hours i think. To browse, check mails, etc. I also have have about 10+ calls and 10-15 SMS a day.
I used CM 7, Temasek Kang, V20N but until now when i´m using Zeus v2.1 i have about 36 hours, because i did battery calibration. It´s helpfull after flashing a new Rom. And of course wifi was turn on about 3 hours + 3g about 1 hour.
Hello guys, since I've tested some version of higher than 4.1 android, I have problems with the battery, I'm currently using the stock version (ICS), but the only ones that work with a good battery life is ICS and JB - 4.1
I'm sure it could not be any app I have installed, because even when I finish installing the ROM, the battery dies in a ludicrous speed!
I did a little test, with the phone idle for 2 minutes will be 1 percent of the battery, or the battery dies in less than 2 hours, making it unusable.
I took some pictures of the screen in the settings of the battery.
Please, HELP ME ! :silly:
