I'm looking for a ROM for my girlfriend's Captivate. Basically the one giant caveat she has with her current ROM (CM7 stable) is horrible battery life. I'm talking -10% from unplugged with absolutely no screen on time. One problem with the phone is the power button is stuck, so she relies on volume wake and sleep from the notification power widget. I need something that can provide these two features (can be GB or ICS, doesn't matter) plus the best possible battery life (I know the usual YMMV, but at least on an average). She doesn't even care about other features since she only uses Facebook, Gtalk, and the regular calling and messaging features, so it can be as stripped down as possible. Oh, and she likes Touchwiz, so if it can have that it'll be a nice bonus. Thank you!

There is no "best". My experience native roms will offer best battery life in general.

Well you right there's no best edit that but try using an ics ROM they all have good battery life...

Hi guys,I have just come from evo 3d, and have been with Android from the start, and had HTC for years, but this is my first Samsung phone, and I love it, I'm rooting this on Wednesday, but I have no idea what room I should download, obviously it has to be stable, and great battery, and coloured menu theme Buttons,etc etc, I was using Leedroid, and coredroid on HTC, my phone is unlocked and gsm model, and just been upgraded to 2.3.6, if any one can suggest a great room I would appreciate that.
Many thanks guys.

To be honest; I've been using quite a lot of different ROMs and solutions
but, every time, I'm coming back to 'Cassie's ultraLITE Note'.
Lightning fast, the longest battery life, just really good!

cant agree more on this
oh btw this thread should be in the General Section !!
I'm really happy with Romow with AbyssNote, long battery life, and really fast!
Currently on MySam 1.5, like the liteness of the rom and ability to install removed apps through the nitrality app included in the rom.
Battery life is great as well with this rom and abyss note kernel v2.1

Hi,
During the time I tried plenty of kernels and roms, I was very impressed by the galaxy EE kernel for the battery life. With normal usage (phone, sms, download, games) but without 3g, my battery lasted around 4 days.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137595
About the rom, I did not test myself, but heared a lot of positive feedback for GingerReal2, which is very stable and smooth http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155623
If the rom is very responsive and does not have plenty of candy and shiny fireworks, this would mean you can tune your cpu with lower speed, which will lower the battery consumption (which is possible with galaxian kernel)
I hope it helped you ;-)
Have fun !
P.S. I am surprised that you have bad battery life with CM7, because it is a very good one for that point if I remember well... Did you try to tweak the system when you installed it ?
I have had cyanogenmod 7 and miui and try a lot of kernels!
Cm7 is very good also with stock kernel, but I think that Cyanofortomorrow v1.2 is very good! You can dwl it with stock kernel or with platypus kernel.
Miui is very nice but battery life is not the best! I have a mintberry rom with glitch kernel v13.
The best kernel in my opinion are glith kernel V13 HL (smartassv2, sleep governov powersave) and platipus neo 18 didle (deep idle). For less battery drain it's very important understand wich modem phone is better for your geographic area and operator.
Hello anyone pleas tell me witch ROM is good battry wise i am cruntly on 2.2.1 and it lasts 4 5 hrs on web browsing
Short answer, insanity froyo.
I remember finding the old Serendipity 6.4 Froyo ROM with JPE modem really good. Currently using SURFACE JPZ with SpeedMod kernel and that's been great too. Web browsing is best done with screen brightness as low as possible, or by using Cyanogen's browser with the colour inversion feature. Most web sites have a white background, which is the most battery intensive colour to display on the Galaxy's AMOLED screen
you can try XXJVT,this rom has stable,fast and long battery life.
I'm not suggesting ics because gingerbread's battery life is longer than ics
Better ROM, don't know, but the worse rom for battery is ics! Don't flash this if you want a good rom with good battery life

JS8 is the best firmware!
General Advice
the following advice is independent from ROM & Kernel:
If you do not use Wi-Fi, then shut down.
If you do not often surf with phone, so turn the traffic off or switch just from 2G to 3G.
If one does not use Bluetooth, then switch off.
If you can well see the display Content, then you should reduce the brightness levels.
You should not run unnecessary apps in the background. The Best Way to do is over a Task-Manager-App. There you shoud kill all running processes and then immediately press Standby - button.
Always unload the battery fully and charge the battery fully

JVT with JVU-modem and Talonkernel works fine for me. Charging bug sucks, but besides that it is the best combo regarding performance and battery.

I'd agree with above post. DarkyROM is very good for battery.
I think: Dark Knight 3 and ARIO ROM 2.2 ICS
Ario rom 2.2 ics
I am satisfied with Teamhacksung's ROM

I was on the AOKP port, with Semaphore kernel and it's governer set to savebattery. It's an excellent rom and I got two days. Two days itself isn't all that impressive, but it is considering I had everything installed, running and syncing. So that's the best I had so far.
I am looking for a fast, simple, battery saving rom for a novice user.
Please help
Since no one wants to help ya I say the oxygen1mod Tom is a good fast smooth and good battery rom

I'm on cm7 with a Holo launcher and m2sd and it's pretty good. I was on evervolv 4.1 for a couple months and it was pretty stable, the biggest issue I had was call answer delay of several seconds. Now that I'm using the phone part of my n1 a lot more I thought I should go back to gb not to mention my girlfriend has an iPhone 4s and thinks iPhones are the best thing ever, and since she doesn't understand custom roms and stuff I don't want her to experience any kind of glitch or freeze when she picks up my phone.
I used a port of oxygen on an old LG optimus one I had and sold and it made that phone seem way quicker than it was.

Rightnow my note is running on jellybam it can stand for day with fair usage

It depends on how you define poor.
There's the usual things to do, you can undervolt to help, throttle the top end, get better battery stats to check for wake locks, make sure gps /wifi /bluetooth /sync aren't on when you don't need them. Turn down screen brightness as that probably the biggest drain on battery, so using apps with light background isn't great.
You can use different governor / scheduler combo. Some people say pegasusq /sio is a good one. Some apps help either by turning off services you don't need while your not using your phone or by adding tweaks to help efficiency.
Use search for battery tips as there's a lot of information out there.
That said there's always the old gem of 'new battery' depending on how old her note is. Remember there are larger than 2500mAh batteries out there, although above a certain point the battery gets thick and comes with a new back to help contain it.
Hope that helps.
