Battery life is so 'subjective' to how you use the phone, apps and data that you are going to get answers across the board.
I for one have found that ARHD and the stock 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 ROMs give 'me' excellent battery usage. I can get 2 days out of a single charge, which completely contradicts your experience, doesn't it?
Also CM7 has excellent battery life for my usage pattern, but I prefer the Sense camera app.
Cm7 I have to charge my phone once a day. I generally put it on charge at night before I go bed. But heavy usage will mean I have to charge as soon as I get in from work etc. ..... tbh for ner this is good my iphone needed to be charged in a morning then topped up at night. I havnt done too much with other roms to come up with justified comparisons.

If you want a sense 3.5 ROM I'd suggest you Virtuous Affinity, it's very stable and works great
It all comes down to preference and usage. Theres no perfect rom for everyone you just have to try and experiment
Personally im using MIUI, smooth, easily customized and battery isn't too bad about a day with: data on all day, heavy on texts, medium on calls and games occasionally.
Based on performance i say the trinity sensation and the ice cold sandwich would be nice but im not too sure about the battery life

Best combination I found was cm7 nightly and tiamat kernel 1.1.4

I flashed Nik roms once and addicted to his roms since then, beautiful rom with built-in tweaks and excellent performance.
Currently ROM: Nik_IncredibleS_TriNiTy_SensationXL V 4.5 By Nikhil007 a.k.a Nikhil Dhayatkar
IceColdSandwich 5.5 ROM is the best
With minimal usage, battery has lasted 4 days and still on 40%

Agreed. 5.6 now too with working cameras.
Give it a whirl, you won't be dissapointed!

thats weird as... coz i left it in my pocket and it was using up about 1% everytime i looked at it which was about every 5 minutes
and thanks all for the replies, might have to try icecoldsandwhich, seems to be a hit
before i put icecold on, IceColdSandwhich vs Virtuous Quattro?
ARHD 2.2.0 have best battery life for me, more then enough for full day of heavy usage. Usually lasts for 2 days. I cant get even close results with other roms.
Ice cold sandwich is my favorite. After using 4.0, I can't go back to 2.3. ICS is just so much nicer looking and better performing IMO.

4 days? nice. ye, i ended up flashing Ice Cold 5.6
Best battery for me was ARHD with Sense elements removed, easily.
Best performing was CM7.1.
Best looking Ice Cold Sandwich 5.6 which I'm currently running now.
Favourite overall is Ice Cold; pretty damn good performance and decent (but not amazing) battery on Tiamat kernel.
i'm waiting CM9 lol
Ice cold sandwich does pretty good overall. Actually it has some minor things to fix but you need to see before you buy so you're gonna love it.

All roms are different its user choice .

I'm currently using it right now. Its pretty good. But now it has been updated to version 3.2. Might go flash it tomorrow.
im running the 3.2 version
installed it 2 days ago
seems fine to me..
I was using darky's for a long time but since hes taken a break i've been exploring other rom's. I've been on simple honey 3.1 for about two weeks and really like. I have been getting outstanding battery life. On average two days of pretty heavy use, with wifi on and email sync. Been quite happy with it. It had a few bugs such as black on black text but 3.2 has fix that.
I can tell after some weeks of simply honey 3.1 it has strong points against other roms and some little bugs (ex. text on black) that seems to be fixed in 3.2.
Currently i'm 3.2 but battery life in 3.1 was better than every original, that's for sure.
Bye
Thanks I notice that battary life in 3.2 maybe little bit lower than the regular anroid Rom but this is a very good Rom I haven't noticed any bugs yet
rom has very little effect on battery relative to the kernel: Simply Honey 3.2 has excellent battery life because it utilizes the GTO kernel
it's still an excellent Rom but what differentiates various Roms from one another regarding battery use is the kernel they use
Maybe darix can do a battery re-calibration and see how's the new battery life. Should be better than normal rom.

It's a good Rom, but battery life is average.

i'm on simpley honey 3.2 and my battery lasts for about 30 hours at avrage with everyday use (wi fi on and off, internet, music, videos etc.)
at first it didnt last over 12 hours no matter what after a few days it was fine.
hows the gps on dis rom?
Could someone tell me how battery life on Android Revolution HD 3 fares compared to that on CyanogenMod 7.1, the ROM I am using.
I want to try an ICS Sense ROM and ARHD 3 seems to be the popular choice. I am anxious only about the battery life. During 7-8 hours of sleep time at night, my phone usually drops 2% (background data off) to 8% (background data on). I am happy with that. If ARHD 3 takes way much more, I might stick to CyanogenMod.
Looking forward to your comments and such.
You might want to wait until source drops and custom kernels are released
A lot of what you mentioned is reliant on the kernel as well as the ROM I find ice cold has good battery
CM 7 was good for me, I used kaijura's ICS kernel which has UV support

CM7 battery life wonderful..
Android Revolution HD a low battery is going to I need days to recharge.
Thank you guys!
Could someone tell me how much battery ARHD3 takes per hour approximately in sleep mode with only internet data on?
10?

Is there really any deference between android versions in battery life?
And in your opinion what is the best ROM for battery life at all (including GB)?
Well everyone uses their own phone accordingly. I currently use AOKP ROM. I do not have a data plan. If i use my phone only for calls or messages, i cant last thru 2-3 days. If i play games or whatever, then a single full charge only gets me through 1 day.
Battery Life is very dependant on how you use your phone so there really is not a best ROM for battery life
I meant that for the same usage which ROM (or android version) gives better battery life?
hmmm... I guess the you get best on CM7, which is Gingerbread.
I used lacoste 4.1.2 jellybean Rom . I have about 1-2 days on WiFi and average use . It can be considered as a battery saving Rom . Have not tested out other jellybean Rom yet besides that

Afaik, most battery friendly ROM is CM7 nightly #146 (GB ROM). Somebody recently posted download link for it. If you can't find it, download one of these, it will do the job. In general, avoid Sense ROMs if you need good battery life.

+1 for Gingerbread 3 days battery, over ICS 2 days with light use.
that's with tbklakes stock GB rom verses tbklakes stock ICS rom, if i oc, scraping 2 days lol.
Addy
GB 3 Days
ICS 2 Days
With normal use
i think the best battery life is for gingerbread.
Gingerbread? mmm
with my phone, I had a quite good feeling about Jeally bean.. if you use a lot of data/3G traffic, gingerbread is not the best

The latest 1.29.xxx.17 update on the One really hurt my battery life. I can barely make it through the day doing basic tasks and the phone heats up really easily.
What are the best roms for battery life and keeping the phone cool? Do 4.2.2 roms have noticeably better battery life:

There is no "best" ROM.. u just got to experiment and see, testing ARHD 10.3 with DS Battery saver. With that app im getting excelent batterylife finally. That app really works.

I'm wondering what's going on?? and its not the battery I have 3 and they all die fast with this Rom.. is it my phone? any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks for responding.. tried it on the holics rom too and horrible battery life idk what it is I'm running the virtuous from and seems to be ok but on sence roms it drains fast it also has random drops from 20% to 12% or just dies I usually run the from for 3 days but the battery doesn't improve is this just a vivid thing or is my device damaged and using a lot of battery?
Also my my device gets very hot on those roms not the battery but below it I'm guessing the processor ?

It is possibly the processor because of the fact that you can overclock your processor on a custom rom.

I'm thinking the same as well it was quite frequent on those roms I dont think its a app because before I install my apps the phone is pretty much vanilla so I turned off some sync and dropped my CPU to 720 MHz or so and also lowered my gpu with kernel tuner. Hope this works
Side note if u don't love sense go with the virtuous rom its awesome.. coupled with nova prime its been the most flawless rom for me fyi s off at&t vivid.. really well made rom I haven't run into any problems using it..IMO the borked rom and virtuous rom are the most stable on at&t version of vivid
If anyone had this problem ill let u know how I fixed it.. just flash kosmik kernal and that's it works beautiful my battery now lasts all day with heavy use.. hope this helps someone
