hi guys i actually listen to music up to 3-4hrs and some messaging and my battery cant last a day without charge could you guys advice me the best Rom?
Stock 2.3.6 Netherlands or custom rom without useless apps which drains battery.
Maybe StockLite V6 it's a stock rom with some tweaks and good battery life.

Hello fellow Galaxy owners,
I have been installing various custom ROM´s for about 2 months now, so I guess you could still call me a beginner. Recently it has been difficult to keep up with all the latest and greatest advances in kernels and ROM´s. Being a father I don´t have as much time as I used to, to read through the mountain of information on the forums.
It is for this reason that I ask for some simple advice. I have found that Hamster, Instanity and DocRom ROM´s are all very fine pieces of work and they are blisteringly fast. The GPS is fast, the themes are epic but alas the battery life is pretty bad (well for me at least).
I must admit thought that I am obsessed with my phone and I use it constantly to read the news, check emails and stream internet radio while I am driving in my car on a daily basis.
I currently have DocRom slim V3 installed after having done a complete fresh installation. But despite being fast it seems to be very hungry on the power consumption.
Do I need to cycle it through some complete battery discharge cycles and fully charge it, then reset the battery stats in CWM recovery? Does it need some days to settle? Or should I flash different Kernels and see which one gives me the best life? If the latter then which kernel do you recommend for JPU?
Thanks in advance!
Same here
With 3g my I9000 die after 10 hours!
With 2g die after 14 hours!
With data network mode deactivated die after 30 hours!
I don't know if changing baseband or kernel will help or not!

I'm having pretty good battery life without any network and LiveWallpapers turned off... just simple black screen it stayed ON for 4 days with some WiFi surfing, PDF reading and music listening player/online radio. So I guess network is draining the most.
DocRom V6.2
I just installed Doc´s ROM v6.2, and it has greatly increased my battery life.

Great to hear this!
I don't know if this is your case, I used to have the beautiful widgets weather widget on my home screen, and after soem time I realized this app was constantly refreshing and consuming LOTS of battery.
If you have it, removing it will increase your battery life too.
I have same problem,i do have the beautiful weather widget installed and think it looks nice on home screen,maybe this is the batt killer??
What other programs does the same? I like the watch and weather widget to be shown..?
Right now I'm using cyanogen 6.1 but I'm noticing a lot of battery drain and on my car charger my phone continues to drain even while charging. I don't want to go back to stock because I love features like portable wifi, but I'm a heavy user and I need solid battery life. Any ROM suggestions for me that I can flash through clockwork while I'm at work? Or any ideas on how I can fix the battery on my current CM ROM?
first about the battery life... Got to settings, about phone, battery use. What is eating up your battery? usually display eats up most of my life. Try turning your display down... Maybe you have a rogue app running in the background eating up your juice?
As for ROMS, the stock ROM does have wifi hotspot and USB tethering. Perhaps try the stock ROM for a while and see if that makes any difference? It could be a battery problem/ issue. There is a great app for CM that allows you to see your battery life/wear @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765609
The ROM I have been using is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184. It is very close to stock, but has many performance tweaks and such. I use it with this kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820172. By far the best battery life on any ROM/kernel combination I have tried. Both can be flashed by Clockwork.
Also, when Gingerbread finally gets here, there is a much updated and detailed battery meter installed with graphs. Hopefully it will only be a few more weeks.
hi, currently i am on darky rom 10.4.2 xwjw1 rom... i have tried different modems on it.. i am happy with the rom but only problem is battery.. i am not happy with battery life.. will going to semaphore kernel will help battery life??? or give any other kernel or rom that gives me more battery life like upto 2 days... if performance degrades little than its ok with me.. is there any hack or scripts which will improve battery life??? battery juiced a lot when using 3G.. please help me guys... any good battery saving ICS rom will also do..
With Darkys i had the "best" battery with XXJVQ, Semaphore and turned off 3g. Just had a widget to toggle 3g quickly. That just saved 20% a day for me.
And i know thats not exactly that what you want but moving to ICS increased my battery life pretty much

thanks for replying.. but i use 3g internet and i do switched it off when not required.. and i am ready to move to ics rom... which ics rom are u using??? what combination gives best battery life??? also give links if possible...
Well, first of all, there applications that are supposted to increase battery life. For a few examples, you could try Juice Defender(my personal favourite) or Watchdog Task Manager. I personally did try some GB Darkys' rom, and I wouldn't recommend it. The battery life was terrible. I'm now running WeUI, an ICS rom. I also tried CM9, and it had a pretty good battery life, but it's not really what I would recommend you to use as a daily usage rom.
You might also want to check your screen brightness settings, I personally have mine set at "automatic".
Also I'm not that sure if semaphore has a good battery life. I heard that Icy Glitch has better, but I am still running semaphore 1.0.0.
Let me know if those apps make any difference!
Back in the day when i was a darky user, i also tried semaphore and hat good results with it, 2days or more were common. I used BUJV3 modem mostly. But generally I had 2g running. The battery life always drops a lot when you constantly turn 3g on. Btw moving to ics reduced my battery life, I charge every night (sometimes earlyer).
i have juice defender... also i turn off the 3g when not required... and i have set the brightness to minimum.. but still i want to conserve more battery... can any one give me the kernel which uses lowest battery without much performance lag??? any ROM??? any good ICS ROM with good battery???
you can undervolt..

I was using an app called SuperPower XDA-BETA v0.80, that can be found on market.
As for me it's the best app for customising power usage, a bit tricky, and rot needed for most features, but I was finally able to prolong my battery life to 2,5 days.
i don't think so apps can save much battery as it will switch of the radio services which i am already making off when not required.. i am talking about battery Hacks or Kernel or ROM which will give extra battery power???
]Dude you want to use 3G too and still want battery life of upto 2 days !!! quite a dream...
anyways few things you can try on.. these are not hacks just tips
- remove any widgets on your homescreen
- turn off autosync
- don't use any constantly updating apps like weather, clock widget etc
- turn off auto rotate (read in some thread this as a tip too)
- don't use automatic task managers
- don't use any battery saver, turn off the data manually when not using everytime
- don't use live wallpaper and try to use some dark background image preferably black
- use some black and white theme
- remove/ freeze as many system applications as possible which don't affect your normal functioning and the apps that you don't use
As I'm getting a new phone for free (Galaxy S2) and the S1's sound quality is far superior I'm thinking of using it as an music player purely for AUX in the car. The current problem is that the charging port in the car is broken for now, so an battery saving rom is required for long time usage without having to charge the phone outside the car too often.
I'm really fond of the stock Samsung music player and currently running XWJWB with Semaphore because of that. Is there a setup that is more battery friendly and stable? (The phone will be used without an SIM-card and in airplane mode so I guess modems dosen't play a big part in battery life?)
If AOSP roms should prove themselves to be more battery friendly I'd gladly accept any suggestions for non-stock music players too, but in my opinion stock roms have the best quality!
P.S My *probably* fake 1650mAh battery does not hold it's charge for long nowadays so if anyone would recommend a new not-to-pricey battery I wouldn't be unhappy (1800mAh+/no extended back cover would be optimum)

Flash a newer stock firmware. JW6 is really good or JVT. Remove every system app you dont need with nobloat. When your phone is debloated undervolt it and push it down to 800MHZ.

Well, JWB is actually more recently released than JW6. Thanks for the other tweaks though.
I'm looking for a ROM with only good battery life to listen to music. I need it for at least 24 hours to be on. I don't need any performance besides listening to music. Don't care about graphics and benchmarks. It can be 2.3.4, 2.3.6 or anything else but not 4+.
are rmtcent

I9001? good battery?
gigabread+!
maybe the best gingerbread 2.3.6 rom for i9001
Maybe someone wants to create a rom optimized only for music. This would be great
Rom and kernel with no working deepsleep, no camera, no working phone, no working MULTItouch.
No play store, no gapps, no GPS, no WiFi, no animations, no overclock, finding best frequency for enough power playing music with little battery consumtion(extreme undervolt), no working fm-radio
Music player integrated somehow in C-code in kernel,
No dalvik VM.
Possible?
Idea: lets begin with barebone rom!
:banghead::screwy:
Edit:
Of course read and write cache and io sheduler optimized for music files of at least 5MB
