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).

Speedmod would offer better battery becoz of all the battery tweaks in CWM recovery. And many ppl have found it to be better. But whatever Kernel you use, make sure to Recalibrate and wipe battery stats for the best battery life
Thanks man,
I wasn't sure if recalibrating was required after a Kernel Flash... But I was doubting about it, as my battery meter was acting weird today. (went from 75% to 47% in 1 hour... without using the phone lol!)
I've found that Speedmod gives me the best battery life out of any kernel I've flashed (after enabling the tweaks in CWM).

When u flash a ROM it comes with a kernel too. So first load the ROM of ur choice, and then flash the kernel of ur choice.
1. ROM first
2. boot up the phone
3. Kernel next
4. boot up the phone
5. now do all ur stuff
Do NOT flash a new kernel without booting up ur phone atleast once after flashing any ROM.
My father has a Galaxy Note. I wanted to install the best ROM (Prefer Light/Lite size) with best Kernel which would give a Good battery life. Any advice ???
I've installed Chrack's Lite LC1 ROM (from here) Which has Franco kernel 9. But, having a few problems. Can't change Voltages for CPU (Using Voltage Control & SetCPU), The options are missing or Disabled. Having FCs while calling someone using phone dialer ("com.android.phone" FC), Network goes down & comes back later. Any way to fix these ???

Nobody can say the best rom because everything is best and it completely depends on the user what they like.For example I like darky rom very much and others may dislike it.
Maybe the OC/UV feature is not included in the kernel and there is no need for it because already the note is super snappy.The phone problem maybe due to improper flashing.Try factory reset or flash the rom again.If the problem persist report it on the rom's thread and the dev might try to solve it.

Darky roms are always super snappy and are known for better battery life.My sgs,sgsII and note all runs on darky rom only.If you want a basic install without any themes and only major tweaks go for base roms and if you need pre-themed and fully tweaked go for full rom.I'm sure you will enjoy the rom

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.

Dear all,
Last week I installed CM9 on my SGS GT-I9000. I am very very happy about it as the device works very well and fast :laugh:
So, that's great!
The only issue I have with CM9 is the short batterylife. I installed CPU-Spy and this app showed that my phone turns into deep sleep when the phone is on stand-by. I also shut down the background processes, put the screen on low light etc.
When I put my telephone on stand by modus, It lasts +- 20 hours which is okay (I think). But when I start using my phone ('whatsapp' some now and than, checking news, nothing special) the battery runs empty in a very short period of time.
What can I do about this issue? I read some threads about changing de kernel version? Which kernel would be the right one? What does it do?
Or is it also an option to switch to CM7? Does CM7 use less battery?
I would really like to hear some of your advices on this :fingers-crossed:
Kind regards,
Jurjen
Stock fws have the best battery life. If you want an other kernel, flash Devil or Semaphore ICS.

Thanks for that. I'm only interested in replacing the kernel if that kernel will improve batterylife Do you think it will?

Where can I find the Devil or Semaphore kernel?
Kind regards,

Just try them an then choose what's better for you.
You will find them quickly if you look in the I9000 android development forum. Make sure you get the ICS kernels (do not confuse with JB or GB kernels)
Once you switched the kernel, you're not done yet. You may set kernel parameters as governor or scheduler for example to get better battery life.

Good day everyone. I just want to ask you guys, especially those who are using stock roms, which do you prefer, stock ics or stock gb? I'm coming from PA by Utacka and I pretty much used custom roms from the start so i never actually used stock.
Please provide a reason as to why. I just want to have a stable rom while waiting for the official jelly bean update.
Thank you everyone.

there is no as such reasons to be on a particular ROM.. its each and everyones taste that keep them stuck to a particular rom,
as far as stock is concerned stock ICS rooted with a hydracore kernel works best for me
I would compare GB to windows XP. Sure it was good back in the day, but it's had it's run now and time to stay current. ICS has been released for a good while now and should have had all the bugs ironed out. Little things like the improved task switching (previews over icons), and swipe to dismiss notifications, while small differences make for a better experience over all.
A better kernal like hydracore to improve battery life and a stock ICS (or maybe back to rocketrom) would be what i would go back to if i was so inclined (i'm on utacka's PA at the moment too)

Thank you for the answer. My only intention is to have a pretty reliable phone so I can use my phone when it really counts. I hate that when I have to do something really important, I will encounter freezes or out of memory error that prevents me to actually multitask.
I haven't tried rocketrom but I am willing to try that. My only fear is if it will lag after few days of use. My boss' phone which is sgs2 would go for days or months without a reboot and he is on stock gb. He doesn't know anything about smartphones in general so he thinks he is using a regular phone, and he is pretty happy about the phone's performance. I just want the same experience.
Thank you.

Okay I'll look into that.

I dont want complaining on certain rom, but if you ask i will say my opinion on rocketrom. It is a good and stable rom, i have used it with hydracore kernel and dont find any problems with in about 2-3 weeks of use. But it is based on xxlrq which i found a bit laggy for me (the same story is for completly stock xxlrq). I dont know which is a difernce in xxlrq compared to xxlrt (some says the diference is only in kernel but i dont know).
So i was tired of flashing and stuff and decided to go on completly stock, picked up a latest xxlrt and whoaa, great. The reason why i am on lrt because my note is from german, i think that same story is for indian lr6 and lr9.
Then the story begins:
-Flashed stock GB xxlc1 via pc odin
-full wipe
-flash stock ics 4.0.4. xxlrt via pc odin
-root (dr.ketans guide) - only because of callrecord mod
-first flashed hydracore 4.3std kernel (also great kernel) and then philZ realesed his stock, emmc bug free kernel, so i flashed it.
Now used only a PhilZ kernel because it is completly stock with removed emmc brick bug. And for stock xxlrt rom it is perfect combination for me (just choose right kernel for your rom)
-Added only call recording mode
-settings > application > unninstalling aplications which i dont use ; > ALL > disabling (readers, music, social hub, etc...)
-And thats it!
Perfectly stable, smooth with great battery life, without any problem, FC or else. Without reboot for about 3 days (reason flashed Philz kernel 23.09)
Finally happy with my note :victory:
Hope that helped
