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.

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.
After using Samsung stock ROMs for over a year I finally switched to CM7.1(Stable) last week. But the battery life I'm getting now is not as good what I used to get with Samsung stock ROMs. With JVT I easily got 24hrs, but now I cant go beyond 15hrs with same usage patterns (3G during day and WiFi at night, few short calls and around 50 SMSs, with a bit of web browsing and some online audio streaming). Did anyone else notice a similar battery life drop going from a recent stock ROM to CM7.1 ?
I ran the CM7 nightlies until recently and came back to JVT because of battery life and the hello hello bug. I use my phone as a music player for most of the day and find that stock ROMs hardly deplete the battery at all, with CM7 I was getting the same sort of life as you.

For me, CM 7.1 Stable drains battery a lot. I've changed to JVP modem and it seems to be a bit longer, maybe I'll try with Fugu kernel.
Looks like I'll be going back to JVT. Idling battery drain is way too much. For example I charged it around 8 last night and by 12 noon today, battery is down to 45% mostly just idling and few texts. This is as bad as original eclair release came with the phone.
I personaly dont find there to be a huge difference but i am on Bell which is HSPA only (3G all the time)
i find i always have to recharge by 4 pm (8 am wake up) but i am a heavy user. I am waiting for my extended battery so i can make it through a day.

What was the last stock ROM you used ? I used to get similar battery life with earlier ROMs, sometimes I had to charge it twice in a day depending on usage. But with recent ROMs (2.3.3 and up), I ever hardly charged it twice, despite very heavy use (more than an hour of calling , GSM/VOIP, about an hour of internet audio streaming etc..). IMO stock ROMs are really good at idle power consumption, I have managed to get 2 days with light use, a full day with moderate use and more than 10hrs with heavy use.
EDIT : CM7 is smoother and quicker; I also like the customizability. I’ll again give it a try when ICS comes out , but till then I'm back to Samsung Stock, because poor battery life simply kills the experience for me. Perhaps I can squeeze couple of hours more with some tweaks, but I doubt it'll be as good as JVT.
I myself have come back to 2.3.5 xxjvt cos coming from cm7.1 and darky 10.2 final..i should say stock rom can have a standby time of more than 24hours believe that..otherwise ics might have a lot more to over than gingerbread

I hope when ics is released by cyogenmod battery life gets better this is why ive not updated to 7.1
Hello U all.
Can somebody give me a link to the CM7.1 stable for i9000?
Thank you.
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...

Thread Closed, what are the best Rom, Kernel, Theme threads are not allowed on XDA.

Hi guys ,i'm on C-ROM BEAN 2.3 WHICHI LIKE IT , but battery life is not that good .Which kernel is better for that? Devil or Semaphore ?
Devil kernel is the better 1
If you have troubles with your battery life the last thing you should look at is changing rom or kernel IMO.
I use CM10 and semaphore with 10% overclock and i use less than half my battery each day.
The best way to reduce battery is to look at whats using it. In most cases it's you who uses it, lots of screen time and/or high brightness could be half of your total energy usage.
it could be that you are already using your battery in a very efficient way. If that is the case, you should get Better Battery Stats, you can download it from the developers XDA thread.That app allows you to see whats keeping your phone from going into sleep mode.
In most cases it are apps keeping your phone busy. Maps for instance has an option to track your location history, this wakes your phone a lot and could cause 10% of your energy usage.
Kernels make a difference, but it's minimal.
