[Q] ROM with best battery life

Anyone have an opinion?

It varies by rom and phone. There is no clear way to know how your phone will react unless you flash a rom. Also, these threads usually get locked for the reason I mentioned. Flash and test is the best policy.
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.

Rom is pretty much personal preference, the kernel with the best battery is Speedmod, hands down.

I think you need to find a new partner.

checks the roms and kernel i am using. 1 hour 55 mins calls with 18 hours standby, and still have 71% left

I've had great battery life (around 3 days of light usage) with Darky's 8.0 + Speedmod K12I + JL3 Modem on my first Captivate. But as flashman2002 mentioned, your experience may vary. I haven't been able to get the same amount of battery life on my current Captivate so far, so I'm in the process of trying other ROMs myself.

For a non OC/UV kernel, I'd agree.
With all kernels included, Glitterballs' (and I assume setiron's) starts getting better battery life with undervolting. With UV settings of 175/150/150/150/125/100 at 1.2GHz, I get better battery life than Speedmod. I'd probably get even better battery life if I backed it down to just 1GHz.

Which rom has stable and longlife battery?

Cause of my friend just take first smartphone captivate ( She is older and low tech )
I try serveral roms but does not get a stable rom. Hope sombody will help me

The Darky ROM has been very stable for me. You can find the page for it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890429
It is still being updated on a semi regular basis. The battery life is better than normal too.

I really think battery life has to do with the kernal. I might be wrong but I think you should look for specific kernals and use them.
And I think most roms are stable. you can try cognition. Assonance. Darky
I personally like darky the best so try it out!

Yep, the kernel has the largest part to do with battery life, but it's not the only thing.
If you're into tweaking, I recommend glitterballs' kernel, steam or regular. Undervolt and disable overclocking and you'll get utterly ridiculous battery life. 69% battery life currently with over 21 hours of uptime and moderate usage.
As for a rom, I'd recommend Serendipity, or if you don't mind the Samsung glass lockscreen Cognition 3.0x seems like it has a lot of promise (though I haven't tried it myself as I hate that lockscreen).

I have flashed many roms, and ive noticed the biggest diff. in battery life is definitely with the kernel, i am running docs rom 7.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882397 that i cooked in the kitchen. with Hardcores speed mod kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880 and androidena theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770507. I have went thru many updates with hardcore's kernel, he updates quite often and docs rom is updated quited often also, and seems to be one of the better rom's and the dev. he is always there to answer any questions. Now to the point i have went to full cycles with my battery fully charged and ran to dead, i have sceen shots of both cycles. First batt cycle i went 1day 6hrs from last plugged in. 2 hours of screen on. 20 min of voice calls. the next cycle i went 1 day 5 hrs with 13% left, with roughly the same screen on time. I have never found anything better than this, so i'm staying with this combination, and update the kernels reg. and question pm me if you'd like.

thx so can you introduce which kernel have long life battery

I mainly flash with Cognition or darkys ROMs. I've found that darkys gives me both better battery life AND a more stable experience.

I would use hardcore speedmod kernel. Link is in my last post. 500 hz cwm I'd what I chose to install thru recovery.

best rom/kernel for battery life/stability?

fiancees captivate is currently running cm7.1 rc1, with whatever kernel was required to be used from the old 7.0 nightlies.
battery life sucks, maybe 12 hours with light usage and its <15% left.
id prefer to stay away from touchwiz if possible. what rom or kernel, or combination of the two would give the best battery life/stability. I really dont want to mess with OC/UV. I was suggested the glitch kernel with cm7 but dont know if i have to mess with OC/UV to get the best battery life. any help is appreciated, she is tired of her phone dying early in the evening.

All depends on the person. ROMs usually don't drain battery. The biggest battery drainer is the modem, then kernel. Go try Serendipity VII.

I used Cog 5 for a long while and was getting good battery life.

best gingerbread rom and kernel with great perfomance and battery life?

please share
is there any custom gingerbread rom with bloatware removed and big free ram? and a kernel with OC/UV? plus great game compability?
how about MIUI?

Have yet to find one to best DjangoMouche 1.2.1 its GB 2.3.4 its customized, with different themes to choose from and a good bunch of performance tweaks. everything has been running smooth.
games run well, things load fast
I'm using Gueste overclock v1.8.1 kernel but thats up to choice. i found it works great between 900 - 1300mhz. but above that its rebooted on me a few times.

You could try Temasek's CM7 Rom with it's own kernel, it has OC/UV and all that things.. Run's pretty smooth and stable but i can recommend you to use GO Launcher EX with an ICS Theme :good:

I agree that DJ is one of the best ROMs...no doubt
but could i ask you why DJ 1.2.1 and not the DJ 1.5RC1....I am using the latest and it is more than a magical dream....out of the stars and heaven....I am curious why you are with an older version....

Currently on DJ 1.5RC1 and have to say it is truly magical.The feel of performance,smoothness and speed is just incredible.Always try to experiment with other GB roms and always drawn back to DJ ROM.DJ roms provide many choices according to our needs and customization as we like with transformation packs.So have to say this is the best choice i will ever have:cyclops:

Same here, Django Manouche, currently 1.5 RC1, but I am using latest spica kernel ;-)

Hi, this is my first post here. I have been flashing various roms and a few basebands and rils in my quest to get better battery life from my LG Optimus 2x. In the end. Most of what I have done is experimental and I can not say I understand much about versions and combinations. Last night, I read quite a few posts about the Django Manouche rom and downloaded all the three versions of the 1.6, the stock, the Spica and the Gueste.
Flashing led to boot looping on the Spica rom, powering off on the Gueste rom while on the stock 1.6s it ran OK, with some applications not running until I rebooted.
I came from a stock LG rom and was wondering if I need to change the baseband and kernel also, for these to work.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.

I think these "best rom" threads are forbidden but I'll give my 2 cents anyway, in case I'm wrong:
for me the best rom is Gueste Hybrid revolutions 3.7, is a hybrid between stock Rom and cm7.2, and symbiosis kernel 1.3.
I get great performance, great battery life, great ram management. I can't really complain, I'm so satisfied that I'm not that eager to get ICS (at least not as much as I was before).
LG optimus 2x, rom Gueste Hybrid 3.7

@daas88. Taking your advice, I have flashed the same combination as you, just this morning. I have been very active on the phone since then, so I can't tell right away, if there is any improvement in battery life.
By the way, I continue to be on the 20i baseband.
I shall report back soon.

Temasek
Probably the cleanest install would be Temasek. A very stable CM7 build. It's sort of finished, and offers a great experience. Use it with Temasek's, Spica's or symbi0sis kernel.
I've tried DM and it's great, but this just feels cleaner.
gl!

I have been reading about the Temasek rom. What is your view on its battery consumption? That is something I am focussing on. The stock LG set up lasts for about 9-11 hours on my phone, with full 3G, about 4 hours of wifi usage and about 1-2 hour of music (Neutron music player). I have a battery pack that I carry with me to work, but it is a big bother.
So, basically, to me battery life is top priority. If I can extend it to 12-15 hours, I am home and dry.

I've used Temasek for a long period of time, and though I don't want to go back to gingerbread (currently on Paranoid Android) I do miss the battery life. With Temasek (or stock CM7) I would get about 32 hours of battery life: a day and a night. This with some browsing, playing music checking e-mail.
Overclocking would lose you some of that time, but the toggle2g app would win it back. :good:

i have cm7 135 from temasek but battery is not so great have bb 218 and ril its the best right now but battery hold max 3h screen on and with 15-17h on time, it sucks, so i want to try dj mouche v20s with bb and rill and hope to get better battery life....
because if a old galaxy s1 can get 1day easy and 4h++ screen on, the fricking lg must get some were neer also......
stanby is **** i find on this phone dont know if its normal but yeah.
i say try dj mango mouch and flash also v20s bb and i think battery will be great and performance i think they are the same

Increased CPU performance, larger screen and stagnated battery technology will do this
As for battery life, I do miss my Nokia 3210! :laugh:

A small update. I charged my phone to 100% yesterday evening at 7 PM. From then on till now, what I observe is that with the phone in standby mode, the battery consumption curve remains almost flat. But the moment I start using some apps, for instance the Number links game for 15-20 minutes, the battery level drops by 10%.
This is with the Gueste Hybrid ROM and the Symbiosis kernel.
Further update: The battery went to 14% and then I charged it. 15 hours. Some improvement. It may be too early to comment, but this set up seems to work superbly when the phone is on standby. When the phone is in use, the consumption seems to be high. Could it be improved by changing the BB or the ril?

The O2x doesn't have a larger screen than the Galaxy S. :cyclops:

my record was 6 hours of screen on time with a cm7 rom and etana kernel with ds battery driver. but now i cant get even 4h screen on time with the same config (only updated versions) :/
maybe my battery is getting worn out...

I'd try a new battery... I can get 8 hours screen on with wifi(depending on usage but screen and wifi on constantly). Temasek and symbi0sis...

Should i run an overclocked kernel or a standard one ?

I just had a long time doubt and wanted to get a clear picture, is over-clocking harmful to the device ?
Or is it just the rated capacity of the processor that is utilized while over-clocking ? I also tried an OC version of notecore before which was slower than the STD version and hence from then on i never looked for over-clocking. But now with notecore OC becoming the standard release i would like to know about the options. thanks in advance.

What rom are you on? You definitely can handle the oc notecore, because you can ran it in your device. I think the oc slow your device compared to standard because of some of init d scripts that humpers the full potential of oc. But if you say im in cleanote rom then i dont know why, only g. lewarne can diagnose it.

You may find that your Note would reboot itself randomly! It may even not be able to complete Quadrant test when you flash oc Notecore kernel for example. The CPU temperature goes over 65c. That is whay happened to mine. So, I just flashed back to the standard version. Everything is then fine.
My Note has got VoltGroup B.

No need of a overclocked kernel..a, standard kernel is fine

It realldy depends on how you will use your sgnote. I for one uses it only for internet browsing,some games and alot of sms and calls so I prefer the Standard Notecore but if you want to get more kick out of your device then you can use the OC one. But as all OC on a device may or will drain the battery alot faster.

Agreed. I use the note for just calls, text and email. So I think I'll stay with standard one. Thank you all.

To overclock or not
That depends: Like yourself, I also use the Notecore kernel. If the Note is a secondary phone and you dont actually depend on it for your day to dayaffairs, then there probably wouldn't be any harm using the overclocked version. Now , keep in mind that when you do, you are more likely to see the phone freeze up once in a while, and thus, you'll have to reboot. I once loaded the OC version of Notecore on my Note and i got very empressive results on the Quadrant benchmark app.
On the other hand; if you are like me in that you are heavily dependant on your Note for a lot of day to day stuff and having your note freeze up in the middle of a very important business call or while your using the gps to find somewhere is totally unacceptable; then I would reccomend the standard speed. For my purpose, I find that the standard Notecore kernel is considerabely fast in of itself. If i have to choose between speed and stability, I'll choose stability every time.
I've tried a number of different kernels and every one of them has made my phone freeze up....except the Notecore. The Notecore is the only custom kernel that I've never seen my Note hang on.
My two cents worth...

I keep switching between Notecore and speedmod from time to time. But I keep coming back to Notecore always when there is an update.

Gavin announced the launch of Notecore V13 for tonight (GMT)...changelog (on page 511) sounds very interesting!

Also Franco is gonna come back with a beastly kernel soon.

I do not feel any differences with an oc kernel, maybe it's just me. btw Goku's kernel worth the try
