Best ROM for long battery

As the tittle says, I'm currently running Kingdroid V7.0 which seems to use a lot of battery life.
Now this isn't that much of a problem until now since I'm leaving on a business trip so the main focus for the device is long battery life.
Which ROM would suit me the best in this situation? The stock rom or a custom rom? It needs to be stable and reliable.

I am on stock 4.0.4 and it seems much better, you can also use GB rom during your trip.

I run Stock 4.0.4 with SpeedMod Kernel and I am very pleased with the battery life of this setup..

pair those with k3-13 kernel for 4.0.4,
or speedmod k2-12 for gb and you have even better kickass battery life. I think, could be wrong but gb has longest.
modem is device dependant, but you can change that as well to save battery life.
search development for k2 and modems, k3 is in original.
note : warrantee and root on those, and loss of kies updatability.
note2: with changing roms, prior root and backup efs, dr ketan thread in general o toolbox has good infor for that.
note3: deepsleep is a possible issue on all android, and most of the time cause of battery life issues. It might be wise to use better battery stats and cpu spy for analyzing that. enought theeads on that

Thanks all I will flash the stock rom then. Currently I have the Notecore v9 kernel, how much will this affect my battery life and is the speedmod kernel that much better? I'm a total noob at this kernel stuff, I barely understand the meaning of it so it's all a bit confusing.
And can I flash a kernel by holding power button, home button and volume up method?
Because with the Kingdroid version you had this setup which lets you choose between kernels that's how I got the notecore kernel I think

So the rom itself isn't whats causing the heavy battery drain but it's all about what kernel you use?
EDIT: If I wish to flash a stock rom does it matter what country I pick? Because I actually live in Belgium so closest would be The Netherlands and they are currently on 4.0.3. If I remember correctly I flashed from GB to ICS with Open Germany, does this matter much?

Volume up + home + power will take you to cwm recovery and you can flash custom kernels using it, but it should be in cwm format not in odin .tar (you will have option to download in both formats in kernel threads). Flashing different kernels sometimes helps in improving battery life.

All blame cannot be put on kernel either but changing kernel helps sometimes and it is always recommended to flash your region specific stock firmware only to avoid problems and complications.

About the region, I think I had CSC lux so which means Luxembourg when I bought it. Which would be weird since I bought it in Belgium. Would it matter that much if I flash stock Open Germany?

thats not true, battery drain can be caused by many things, kernel or rom or aplications.
which is why its good to keep an eye out for those.
edit: or unclean installations.
edit2: single or combination of above.

seen some pretty good reviews recently on notecore, cant compare thrm myself but you can definately test which one is better on your device, rom, modem combo
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

Most drain comes from the modem, the kernel (the cpu governor along other things), and rogue apps (usually ad-supported apps).
Of course some roms have issues with the system UI and such.
So the #1 tip to get better battery, find the modem that's best suitable for your country, also use wifi instead of 3g if you can, but if you're out of wifi coverage, turn wifi off or it will drain even more.

I would drop the latest SpeedMod kernel onto your ROM. Very good battery life on all ICS TW ROMs.

My suggestion for you is cleanote ROM with notecore kernel. The best combination. I get around solid 2 days with nominal usage.

For me i had best results concerining battery consumption with the latest CM9 nightlies and now the CM9 official.
Getting 2 Days out of it with normal eMail-reading a bit surfing the web, quite normal usage.

Would the stock rom in combination with the speedmod kernel give the best results? Can't go back to GB cause I need an application from work which requires me to be on ICS.

It depends upon how you use your device and how many battery hungry apps you have.
The only way to truly know the best combination for you is to do the research on the forums and test the combinations yourself.
For me, the best combination is Rocket ROM, with a lot of stock apps removed, and the NoteCore overclocked kernel (as it is optimally undervolted).

I use the milestone 6 with kernel thor, lasts me 2 days, with the screen on for 4 hrs

What safe kernel are you using with 4.04?

I am using 4.04 with the Speedmod kernel. I was wondering what others were using with 4.04 and why.

has been, have been and will be using..... speedmod........safe and battery life helper dependable always and throughout..... I dont' care about any other kernel e.g. Notecore and such... all i care is that my phone's batt to last me day and half... and it sure is can deliver.. make no mistake about it....

+1 :good:
Notecore is a kernel for performance.

I'm using Notecore e Speedmod alternately, testing new versions when they came out :good:

I've been sticking with NoteCore OC since V3...it's a great kernel and whilst it's a performance kernel, it provides good battery life...I'd say that I'm a moderate user (much texting (100messages a day), approx. 5-10 calls, 1h of music, 1h of gaming, 1,5h of browsing/other stuff) and i get 1,5 to 2 days...can't complain [I'm also using TW-Roms since I loathe google (yeah, I know...) and S Planner is the only good organizer imho]

OK, I am intrigued. Why will the Franco Kernel be so much better (and yes, I did read the Franco kernel thread.) I am looking for observations. What would you expect to see from his beyond the Speedmod or Notecore? What do you mean by "monster"?
I am also interested to note that no one mentioned the CF-Root Kernel. Chainfire is one of the most trusted developers here and I thought I would see someone using his kernel. Is there someone out there using CF-Root with 4.04 that can comment? (yes I have read the thread). I would like your observations on why you went with that kernel, especially when there are reported issues with wifi.

Goku here. Great battery life, performance is also good and everything works which is not the case with the other custom kernel. For example on most custom kernels my security software does not work (gdata mobile security). If only funky had not removed all the governors that were available in previous versions. But no product without some disadvantages.

The problem with cf-root is the fact that cf does not alter the kernel which means it still contains the brick bug. Not in cwm but for example when you reset your device to factory defaults. And since he does not add anything else than cwm his kernels also suffer from the deep sleep problem and all other glitches that come with the stock rom and kernel.

I did flash the Notecore STD and so far I am a little more impressed. Too soon to tell yet, but I did have some small issues that at the moment I am not seeing. Stability is most important for me. I will report further. If the CF-Root still has the bug then no I won't be flashing it. I thought I read that 5.6 fixed that bug but no, it really wasn't so CF-root is off my list for the moment. But I am open to hearing more about the new Franco kernel. Thanks for all the feedback.

Chainfire fixed the bug in cwm. But since he does not alter the kernel itself it still contains the bug and can trigger it if you do a fatory reset. So we could say it's half fixed

I have to say that so far my phone has been rock solid with the Notecore v.13 kernel (Standard, not the OC version). Not a single issue and not a single lockup. It is still a little early to say definitively that there are no issues, but so far I have to say that for me this is a definite keeper over the Speedmod k3-13. With Speedmod I had a few hiccups, just little things, and a few lockups, none of which I have seen with the Notecore kernel. And no, I won't be trying the OC kernel. I am not wishing to push the envelope. But this is an excellent kernel. Too early to really compare the battery life but I haven't observed anything really bad and I am a very heavy user, so count me a happy camper.
Edit: I may have spoken too quickly about not trying the Notecore OC. I have read some amazing claims of battery life with the OC version. After I have a good record of stability with the Standard kernel then I think I will try the OC. I can always go back.

AOKP - Asylm BBRQ3
TW - Notecore 13 Standard.

I'm on speedmod myself with just root but I've not installed any Rome yet but I have to say my battery life is much better. I hope when I install a ron it stays this way....

Kernels - SpeedMod k3-13 vs NoteCore v14-1 STANDARD

For a normal everyday user what would be the main differences between SpeedMod k3-13 vs NoteCore v14-1 STANDARD ?
Right now I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 with Stock Samsung ROM 4.0.3 - I've managed to update my phone with the SpeedMod k3-13 Kernel. Perhaps a bit too early to tell but I think my battery life has improved since moving away from stock Kernel to SpeedMod k3-13.
Is NoteCore v14-1 STANDARD likely to improve battery life further?
I mostly use my phone for FaceBook, Internet and watching YouTube Video's or Movies on.
I also want to start trying out different Custom ICS ROMs, do I need to move off of SpeedRom because I read that's for Samsung Only ROMs.
If I do move to NoteCore how safe is it to flash ICS and JellyBean based ROM's from that? I'm really worried about the possibility of bricking my Galaxy Note.

Speedmod and notecore are good kernels for touchwiz roms only.. Either Samsung's or customs...
You gotta try for yourself and see what fits you better...
For aosp roms either ics or jb you can just do the wipes and flash the roms from speedmod or NoteCore, both are safe to do so..

I am using notecore 14.1 standard, on stock xxlrk
battery life is satisfying, I like this kernel mostly for GPU tweaks
I was using K3-9 on ICS 4.0.3 xxlpy also battery life was good
so it's up to you to decide which kernel will be most battery friendly for your G-Note

-Notecore 14.1std will gv you slightly more smoothness and responsive than speedmod k3-13.
Speedmod k3-13 definetely more battery friendly than notecore 14.1std
I have 2 extra batteries. So...still stick with 14.1std. Cz i like the smoothness of ui and menu scrolling.
Both kernel are great.

If your looking for a better battery life go with speedmod, notecore is also good and more smooth, it also has alot of update mostly every other day.

Netcore for me is superb... The only downside is the time that is required for a full charge

Why does the kernel increase your battery charging time? is that because the phone is drawing more power then it would with SpeedRom ?
I read somewhere that some kernels can increase the maximum charge of the battery so that it lasts longer? And that a lot of times when the battery reads 100% charged and drop the first 10% really quickly is because the battery wasn't really charged to 100%
Does anyone know which Kernels can charge the battery to it's fullest capacity and is it actually safe for the phone?
I don't mind if it means the actual lifetime of the battery is shorter as the batteries are pretty cheap to buy and easy to replace, but I don't want to do anything that damages the actual phone.

If your on ics better flash safe kernel like notecore, epeedmod, or goku.
If gb, if dont like custom rom, mod, custom kernel, themes or faster and better battery life then stay on stock.

I think you'll be on gingerbread firmware. If the gingerbread firmware is unrootable then you'll have to download a root able firmware of gingerbread and then install it. Root your phone ans then you'll be able to upgrade to an ice cream sandwich ROM. If you want to run ice cream sandwich, this is the most safest way and for which you will have to root your phone. If you're happy with gingerbread then you won't have to do a thing. Good luck. I think its best to root and install ics or jelly bean from CyanogenMod. Please refer to dr. Kaetans guide to rooting your phone
