For milestone? I would say that the 01-25 leak is the best by far.
The rest are pretty evenly matched (the CM7 base roms are mostly the same, etc)

On the ShadowMOD the battery life is comparable to stock 2.1. At least on build 3 - build 6. On other mods (FroyoMod, Cyanogen) it is generally lower, if you do not tune it yourself.
Leak 01-25 is not bad too, but seems a bit less stable.

How to tune it ??
I heard that froyomod has a pretty good battery life. Is it true ??

James91, I've meant that shadowmod seems to be better in battery life just from the moment of flashing. When using the froyomon they recommend to use it's "battery calibrate" script, or delete batterystats.bin manually, and use task killers, and so on.
I was on froyomod for 5 days and never got more than 24 hrs on battery (non-intensive use). But I did not use "calibrate" script, because I a m not sure in it's safety. On shadowmod I have 40+ hours.

Thanks for your reply
I have just tried froyomod but unfortunately I got some errors on internal memory
and I turn to shadowmod again
The battery life of shadowmod (b3) is OK.
Since it would automatically kill tasks and reduce power consumption.

You dont need scripts to tune our phone. Use the 'bump charge' trick. There is a lot of talk about this in the CM7 thread.
1 power off phone
2 plug into wall charger
3 remove battery
4 wait for ? To appear (question mark)
5 put battery back in for LONG charge
6 flash any rom with full wipe.
This will ensure battery calibration on new ROM.
But honesly, if battery life is your thing: use the 01/25 leak. I am not sure why people disagree. The ROM is not flashy at all, but battery is at least 2x better then closest ROM. We have 4 milestones at work and everybody get at least 36 to 48 hrs of HEAVY use. Most cant get more then 12 to 16 with other ROMs.
Ppl that want battery life use that rom, ppl that want features, etc...use CM7 or others. Although some people are now moving back to the leak as themes are avaiable for it and a suprising amount of work is going into it.

I'm using Cronos 1.8.1 now and I'm really happy with it.
It's pretty popular among Milestone users, too bad you didn't include it.

stock roms for sure, I'm using the latest O2 leak & it's excellent in terms of power management.

I didn't include Cronos 1.8.1 coz I have heard that this rom has obvious battery drain.

Advantages of 2.3 vs 2.2 for Captivate

What is the advantage of 2.3 vs. 2.2 for our phone. I know everyone likes to have the latest and greatest, but is there any features that the captivates hardware takes advantage of. For example I understand that 2.3.4 adds video chat but the captivate does not have a front facing camera. I know that the update has to have security enhancements, but what are features to get excited for with 2.3?

The voice stuff. Much more full featured without third party apps. I can say things like "set alarm 15 minutes" and be alerted.
Other than that and the fact that most development has switched to 2.3, not much.

Battery life is HUGELY extended. Gingerbread does some automatic juggling with data connections to keep usage to a minimum. Pre gingerbread I would get 6-8 hours of battery life without using a program like Juice Defender. Now I easily get 30 hours of battery life.

I thought there was a battery drain issue, was that only with cm7 or I9000 roms?

I too experience massive battery drain with Miui which is a 2.3 cm7 rom.
asrrin29, are you suggesting other 2.3 roms that aren't based on cm7 will have the extended battery life?

I get 30 plus hours with Andromeda3 with about 30% battery left , so , if battery life is one of the few reasons to flash GB I'll just stay where I'm at.

MIUI and CyanogenMod have horrible battery life. Thats their own little bug, remember they are AOSP's and they still haven't worked out the kinks on Nexus S rom to galaxy S. But Gingerbread roms have HUGE battery life increase over froyo. I can get anywhere from 12-36 hours (12 would be heavy use). Sadly Android 2.3.3 has a small little bug where android OS would start eating battery like no one's business, a reboot fixes that problem. Android 2.3.4 fixes that issue.

The battery drain on cm7 is nowhere bad as it was, I get around 18- 26 hours. and most issues have been fix as well.

I get about 6-8 max on MIUI.
I'll try a non-cm7 rom.

Well I am basing my info from what I've read. I also think the battery issues have to do with kernel-modem combination. But when people say they are getting horrible battery life on GB rom, odds are they are on cm7 or MIUI =/

I agree with the kernel-modem combination
Cause i stay on the stock kernel, most other cm7 kernels tend get out date and break updates so i just stay way from them.
Miui seems to be the one with battery life issues, cm7 is getting pretty close to samsung rom battery levels.

Undervolting helps a lot with cm7/miui. I personally feel like gingerbread is smoother and the newer gb roms have some beautiful themes. Battery life is definitely better with the exception of cm7/miui.

Best rom for Battery?

Hey guys. I only want to ask which rom do you think is the bettest for battery life.
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

My suggestion would be stock gingerbread with speedmod kernel k2-12, i used to get around 4 days with normal use.

That sounds nice. Do you have heavy use of yout phone? Or only deep sleep all the time?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I use it for playing games, little music, calls and messaging. Sometimes connect to Wi-fi. With the same in ICS i get around 2 days.

okay thank you i´ll try. :fingers-crossed:

to set expectations straight, expect thought about 4.5 hours nonstop usage on gb with speedmod kernel.
4 hours on ics with speedmod
alk stock dont expect more then 3 to 3.5 hours.
you only get 2 days if you dont synch, barely use phone and are in good reception area with data switched off always.
Note general tips which can be found in the 10000plus threads about battery drain and how to analyse deepsleep issues

I don't know whether you like gingerbread roms or not , but till date the rom with which I got maximum battery backup with modeate to heavy usage was CheckRom Revo HD V6. This rom never lags , best battery life , and good speed .
If you are Gingerbread hater and ICS lover , then you can try Rocketrom v7( very good battery life with the included kernel , and would be much better with Speedmod Kernel (latest version) ). And then you have CleaNote V2.30 ( V3.0 has bluetooth glitches but its faster , if you are bluetooth user i would suggest you to stick with V2.30 ) , I personally love CleaNote because it has stock look and very fluidic :good: and as the tagline says 'You dont want any theme forced down to your throat '. KingDroid are good at speed but many have reported few glitches with it , you may try it if you like ( I dont like KingDroid , its sth personal ). If you hate Samsung's bloatware then we have Cassie's XtraLite rom for your rescue :cyclops:. Its a good rom too .
Well finally to end , I use cyanogenmod 9 and i update it everyday and with each update it gets more fluid and responsive, fast , smooth . i just love cyanogenmod9 ( waiting for cm10 ).
ParanoidAndroid are for ppl who love fun , who want to showoff their phone , the ability of their phone , the sweet hybrid interface of their phone , its for geeks :-0 .
Make a choice or try all of them :good::good:

I am using CLASSIC V1+15 toggle with MOD V1 which is ICS 4.0.4, and I also updated kernel to chainfire LRG, which is more stable and smooth, battery life is excellent comparatively to all other ROMs so far.
Which is around 4% drain per hour, I have (facebook, wechat, LINE, mitalk, whatsapp, email, exchange service, maps, mixed chinese input, make your own clock) running and leaving it on idle.

For the past 2 years of beeing a S galaxy user, I've quite looked for best battery life at top performance. Most of the time, battery life is no longer measured in "days" of usage , like we used to do with our Nokia phones. Nowadays, you ten to look at display (screen on) time , CPU profiles, and also connectivity patterns.
You can think of battery life as a factor of the above mentioned, however I think that display time is the most important parameter related to battery life. CPU profiles, connectivity, tend to work only when you have your screen on, and from my experience, you tend not to extend your usage time by more than 10-20%.
So as a conclusion, I did not expect a specific rom / kernel configuration to offer more "screen on" time but to offer a more faster way to do my tasks therefore I did more tasks in almost the same display time.
At the end of the day, it is more important how you USE your device rather than finding a "magical" combination that will increase your battery life.

KID + SpeedMod

+1 for GB (i was using checkrom but i'm sure any gb rom will give similar effects) with Speedmod.
If you make setcpu to 200mhz on screen off, i find it uses almost no power at all when it's on standby.
Like it was on 77% when i went to bed.
Woke up in the morning and it was on 78% (i was like lolwut).
Yay for setcpu.
But seriously though, any GB rom will give you considerably more battery life than any ics rom.

[Q] [HELP] Battery Draining HELL FAST

This is my first post . I have been searching about battery drain issues from about 2 months. Yes ! two months ! now I found it better to ask it myself. I have a GT-I9000 with 1650mA Samsung's battery, the problem is that , one point drains in around 3 - 4 minutes maximum. I am using CM10.1 , i have tried about a thousand roms , several kernels just checking for the battery life . On stock gingerbread rom i usually get 5 minutes for a single point with wifi and cellular data OFF . Now I am really exhausted trying different roms and kernel ( flashing 10 times a day and sticking to my phone checking battery , is really now pissing me off ). All I want to know is that ? Is this okay ? 3 minutes for a single point on jellybean roms and 5 minutes on gingerbread ones ? tried every kernel no oc no overclock , nothing. Is it about more cpu usage on jellybean roms ? what should i do now i really am pissed off totally. how many minutes does it take for your phone for a 1% to drop ?

If you use your phone, then it's normal that 1% drop per 3-5 minutes but if it's in sleep, well then its draining fast so i think your battery is broken.

No,when its in sleep mode 1% takes 3hrs approximately. But can you explain that why i am experiencing a large differnce on CM10.1 or SuperNexus 2.0? I tried almost every kernel .

try new cyancore kernel by mr ts, not promoting, juz it seems keeping smoothness will drain battery, try first n post a result after a day or 2 usage, n this time, please provide screenshot for battery stat.

Its normal to experience less battery on JB roms because JB as a whole is a more demanding version of Android. Project Butter- 60fps hardware acceleration- while making the phone buttery smooth, is definitely going to take a toll on both the processor and in turn the battery. There are SO many things in Jelly Bean that will definitely have a significant impact on your battery life, compared to stock Gingerbread.
I've had cases where I've drained almost all my battery just setting up my phone.
As compacity said, choose a rom and a kernel that you think you like, give it a few days (charge/discharge cycles more rather) and then post a screenshot of your battery stats. Once you install a rom in needs time to calibrate, which is done through the charge/discharge cycles. You might fnd that you actually have pretty good usage
Oh, and when you do take your screenshot, just for clarity please state whether you've underclocked, changed governor etc.

Well I'm on stock most of the time because I'm out and about quite often so I need some pretty stable battery life...
But some pretty good combos I've had (and do remember that these are only prsonal results, you will have to try them yourself- it does take trial and error)
Roms:
-RemICS-JB
-Liquidsmooth
-Gamerzrom
-EXTRAordinary
-Slim Bean
Kernels:
-Semaphore
-Mackay
-Latrop
But again, purely personal experimenting and flashing. Those are only what I've gotten decent/good battery life with before

[Q] Note GT-N7000 Root Battery Problems

Hi,
Yesterday i rooted my Galaxy Note using the LiveNote ROM.
The ROM itself is very good, very smooth and retaining that Touchwiz look that i love but i have found it have serious effects on my battery life. The battery life is diabolical, only lasting 1 hour and 22 minutes of screen time, half of which i was using wifi. Before the root, my battery was not good anyway, only lasting about 3 hours screentime but this new ROM has pretty much crippled my phone.
What i want to know is this, is there any way of keeping this ROM but vastly improving battery life, say to where i was before at around 3 hours screentime? OR perhaps is there another ROM with decent performance, using the Touchwiz interface and also having good battery life?
The phone is running Jellybean 4.1.2 and i am using Philz.
Regards
James

There is a way:
Start reading the uncountable (and mostly idiotic) threads about bad battery life after flashing a ROM.
Or read threads about battery life when the baterry is older than a year.
If that is too difficult or if you are too lazy then please stay on stock ROM - not only the life of the battery will benefit from it.

I do agree mostly with the previous reply.
Still, Sweet Rom 10.5 has good batery life and performance. Live Note seems to come with c.o.h kernel which has Gpu OC. Unless you have change kernel that may affected batery.
