Best ROM for battery life?

I'm about to give my phone to my father and I was wondering what ROM offers the best battery life? He isn't much into technology so battery over performance is clearly what I'm looking for. I would hate to give him a phone that doesn't last through the day with moderate use....
This is coming from CM7 2.3.4. I'm lucky to get through the day starting on a full charge with very moderate use. In fact, my battery was nearly out after about 6 hours of use, and 2 hours it was on airplane mode! I just recently recalibrated my battery and it doesn't seem to be any better at all.... Kinda frustrating.
Thanks!

any of the aosp builds are really good but if u dont care about having gingerbread i would definitely go with aosp 9.9.2 froyo.

also aosp 9.9.2 works really good with collins ph batterry tweak and u can proably get three times better battery life with that if u do it right.

Honestly, even if it was eclair I don't think it would be a problem. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to try it out!

Yeah, I think I remember doing that tweak way back when, and it seemed to help a lot. That is the one and only thing I missed about Froyo-- that and the GPS .

and if he wants the sense look i would definitely go with nfx stock sprint rom.

Do you think sense is more newb friendly? That's what I've heard, and if so, I might do that cause, like I said, he's not very technologically literate....

its not that its noob friendly its just ascetically pleasing is all it is.

Alright, thanks! I'll give one of those two a go when I'm closer to upgrading to the EVO 3D (whenever that is).

Ive had ridiculous battery life on Aloysius.
I think its a 2.1. But it lasted the longest for me

[Q] What Galaxy S i9000 Rom has the best battery life?

Hey guys, I have been out of the Rom scene for a few months, in May I was using MIUI which was terrible, after that back to Insanity CM and now I am using the Surface Rom, which I got in like July. Therefore I am not up to date anymore; I really need a good Rom with some awesome battery life. Which would suit me the best?
And I am also using Google Authenticator, when I wipe install a new ROM will I lose all the data of Google authenticator, like with every other app? So I would have to use mybackup pro for example?

Miui battery life is terrible indeed.
I use Simplicity 1.1.1 for the moment and I am more then pleased with the battery life.
I've used a lot of different roms and this one is the best for me.
It's a very slim rom and you can add other stuff with the add-on feature.
I would say: Check it out
http://www.google.be/url?sa=t&sourc...uDgNUB&usg=AFQjCNF4F4UsgTpbVCCTrgR883FwN0bM9Q

Okay thanks for the reply How many hours can you go with it, w/o using wifi and all that other stuff.

With quite heavy use and wifi on all day: like 2 days.
That's tested with the 1.1 version, because the 1.1.1 is out since this noon

OH wow that sounds awesome. Thanks, I will check it out

I have to add that I always use Autorun Manager to avoid apps to start out of their own. And that's a real life saver for me.
App killers keep on killing the same apps that start over and over again. But this app won't let it start up in the first place.
Unless you open the app manually off course
So measuring better life can be a very personal issue.
Depending on the use of your phone and what kind of apps and sync processes are running.
I, for example don't sync Facebook nor twitter, only Gmail.
But try that rom out and see for yourself. If you're not pleased ... there are a lot of roms out there

Okay thanks for letting me know, yeah Simplicty looks cool. I will check that out

the main is a kernel. one of the best are speedmod and talon and galaxian

Well their is no way anyone can oppose me on this. DARKY ROM has the best battery life for sure no 2 nd thoughts in this. Darkyrom.com is the way to go for you. Well for stats I tried v10.2.2 and it literally drained 1% in 11 hours on standby and no wifi on. And 2% with wifi on in 8 hours.
hit thankxx if i helped. sent from my mind through telepathy (ya its possible)!

Tight dude. I am getting this **** now. haha. This sounds godly

My previous rom was Darky 10.2.2 extreme edition and the battery drained on me.
That's why i went to simplicity...
But this can become an endless discussion and I'm not waiting for that
Just try out some roms and decide for yourself
Have fun

Wow that sounds really good..
How is the performance with this rom??
Does battery life comes at the cost of performance..
Btw I m new on galaxy s forum(Before on Optimus one) ..Vl be getting my galaxy s 2mrw.

I would answer you, but I don't know the answer, sorry
But people here seems to be a little bit too lazy to answer... I've noticed that, too
Several my questions just... lost in space :-D
As to the ROM. I've been using HoneyCore 2.0, it's based on Semaphore kernel, ROM is based on JVS 2.3.5. Unfortunately, for some reason its creator, CoreMaster, just stopped supporting it. What happened - have no idea. But battery life is nice. I don't know how it is in comparison with Darky. For instance, watching dvdrip takes about 15% of battery - i don't think it's much. Reading is about 4% per 20-30mins.
p.s. It would be nice if you made some measurement on the ROM you have chosen and publish here the numbers to compare

I have the best battery life till now on F1 innovation HD v7.0

I had my best battery life with stock 2.3.4 + Go Launcher Ex. Also, no auto sync, no location access, dark (leather - almost black) wallpaper. It lasted an average of two days, with the highest score being...wait for it.... 4 days!!! I attached a photo!
Cheers!

[Q] CM7 battery is horrible... how are people getting good results?

Wanted to give CM a shot again, getting the same results as the last time i tried it.
My results with pinnacle 1.2:
Everyday I leave for work at 630, and when i leave at ~3, depending on how much i use the phone, im usually at 70-80 percent.
If i dont use my phone at all, and am in an area of good service. It usually drains at about 1% per hour.
My results with CM7 nightly - stock kernel
I left for work today at 630, have barely used the phone, because i wanted to test its standby drain, and im already at 70 percent (down 30% in 5 hours) The performance is great, but i cant live with battery life like this.
Is there anything i can do to fix this? And please dont tell me to do things like turn off sync, and all that crap, because i bought the ****ing phone in order to do these things. If i wanted a phone that was just a phone, i would have gotten a blackberry or some other regular phone.
If i can do these things in pinnacle and get good battery life, im not going to give them up in cm just to get battery life that is closer to pinnacle.

Just my opinion, but if battery life was better for you on another rom, and that's important to you, why switch?
If you're really looking at CM7, maybe you should research what modem you had on pinnacle and see if there is a CM'ed version of that one available. That alone could be part of what you're seeing. You could also try a kernel like Glitch and see if OC/UV is something that would help. Also take a look at the battery stats and see which processes are near the top - that's usually an indicator of what areas of the phone you should focus on first.
And, although I understand you're frustrated, please watch the language.

Because as stable and good on battery as it was, i just needed something different. And dont get me wrong, I love CM7. Its awesome besides the battery issue.
I started this thread before i flashed to try to get an idea of what i should use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347952
Someone did make that modem for CM, but from what i hear, the call quality isnt great, and the other person hears a lot of static. Weird because its awesome in Pinnacle.
Going to try glitch, but i wanted to get an idea of how the stock kernel worked before comparing it to glitch. Probably will end up doing a OC/UV, but i wanna at least see if i can get decent battery first before i do that.
Cell standby is accounting for double of what anything else is listed is, which hopefully means that if i get a better modem, then it might fix that.
And didnt mean to come off as an ass, i just hate when people suggest things like that to fix battery issues. Ive read in other threads people suggesting that, and really, why even have a smartphone if your gonna limit it that much? I dont go crazy with any widgets or any apps that would cause that, but turning off sync and things like that are just crazy.

Sounds like a good plan. If you haven't checked it out yet, I think that Oxicottin has a list of modems and where they work somewhere in the Dev thread - that might be a place to start your search for modems.

you call quality sucks because CM7 lacks the audience chip support that is native to all I897 ROMS.
So again call quality and great battery life or CM7? You might want to try some of the newest KK2 Rom builds like Luminance or Legendary.

[Q] [SOLVED] High battery drain from 100%, low from less

I find this really weird ....
Basically, battery drains REALLY fast from 100%. After a day off charge (around 8/ 9 hours away from home) it's dropped significantly. This amounts to about...
100% - 70/ 80% in morning from about 20 mins web browsing on wifi. After having it off, in my pocket doing nothing other than (supposedly) sleeping, battery life has dropped way below 20% (it varies). I started charging it after getting home though, but had to leave with it only at 33%. That was at about 6:30. It is still at 33% now .
What the fudge is happening? In the time from being at 30% I even texted and made calls... I even kept my phone on previously at 122- 480MHz SmartassV2 but it was running between 122- 614MHz SmartassV2 from when it was 33% ?
I know there are tons of threads about battery life, but this just stuns me. Please help Main Q: What is happening + how do I fix it :cyclops:
SOLVED: After using LMCFroyo I have concluded that the problem is that Gingerbread ROMs are the cause of fast battery drain for our G1s..... basically stick to Froyo

i'd say u need a battery replacement...
same thing happened to my G1 sometime ago...
battery behavior was insanely ridiculous... unless i'd keep it on charge, it'd shut down in say 5 mins of usage!
get a new battery... they are like maybe 10$ or under...

I think its down to a number of things, but mainly the rom your on. I just tried a gb rom, finding battery drained in 6 hours. Back with lmc froyo now, and back to normal battery drain, with battery draining in 24 hours at least.

I was using tvall's CM7, I'm trying GinSense atm. I flashed LMCFroyo, but I missed all the advanced CM options... could give Biffmod a go I suppose. Thanks anyway.

I tried biffmod but can't remember how the battery behaved i'm afraid.I find lmcfroyo has a nice balance of speed, reliability and battery life. Mine was just a standard install.

hmmm... I still don't think I could live without any advanced options, so I thin kI'd prefer a CM based ROM. I'll see how GinSense performs, but it sounds as though Gingerbread is the problem.
Update: I've narrowed it down to either Biffmod or Froyo by Laszlo (or one of the few variants of this).... I'm also thinking of Dreamteam Froyo because I like tvall's stuff....but if LMC is really that good I reckon I could hold on till ryree0 releases the latest update which he just posted about, plus it's actually up to date and supported.... so what do you guys think?

Personally I find lmcfroyo better than biffmod and fbl, but to be honest battery life and reliability are most important to me. I'd give it a try before any update, as it works fine, plus you'd notice the improvements when there's an update.
Edit: If you do go for fbl I recommend icsfbl, as in my sig. Its a nice blend of looks and fbl speed.

Thanks I'l give LMC another go and stick to it... so the general concencus (that looks wrong whichever way I spell it) is that new Froyo builds are better than old abandoned ones that were good in their time? Oh yeah, and when you say "battery life and reliability" are more important to you, does that mean you think Biffmod + co. are faster but not as good in other aspects? lol, this has turned into a Froyo discussion thread (sorry)

Yeah, i think you summed up pretty well! I can't believe the battery life with lmc actually - thinking about it that's what i like about it the most! I probably have the most basic and miminalistic set up going, so it should work as well for you. Removing hotmail from all my devices also helped i think, but thats just another issue in my quest for improved battery life!

One last q (sorry)
Thanks everyone for all your help, I've just got one last question: I'm thinking of still trying a different Froyo build based on CM, just for comparison, so would you recommend Biffmod or Froyo by Laszlo.... I think the latter is more up to date, but it doesn's specifiy which version it is... thanks for all your help to my problem anyway :laugh:

Battery issue. Please help !!

Hello everyone. As we all know that our p880 has never been good with battery backup but still iv tried many ROMs yet no good results. But as the phone is getting older it seems the battery is also losing strength. Is it suggested to get a new battery ? Will it make a difference ? Please suggest/advice
Thank you.

What do you mean by getting older, wrinkles? ... just kidding.. do you need to charge more time, or less on screen hours, never charging to 100% ?
My suggestion:
Try different roms *( Mahdi 2.9 preeti solid battery life, aprox 3 hours maybe more) alway do full wipe(factory, cash, dalvik,even format sistem)
Try battery calibration app from market (maybe placebo, but worked couple of times for me.. doesnt hurt to try)
AND CHARGE YOUR PHONE
Ask if you need somethng

Thank you for replying. It hasn't got any wrinkles yet ? but yes I have to charge it twice thrice a day and the SOT is 2 hrs max. I'm on nameless 5.0 right now. Is the Mahdi rom u suggested 4.x.x or 5.x.x ?

that is ok for 5.0, AOKP by Molthenmotherboard is most stable 5.x for me .. good deep sleep, and all.. mahdi 2.9 is 4.4.4, i also have to charge mine 2x day if i use it havily, i've tried different batteries and new ones.. no change.. maybe those bulky with 3xxx mah can make a change.
