Is there really any deference between android versions in battery life?
And in your opinion what is the best ROM for battery life at all (including GB)?
Well everyone uses their own phone accordingly. I currently use AOKP ROM. I do not have a data plan. If i use my phone only for calls or messages, i cant last thru 2-3 days. If i play games or whatever, then a single full charge only gets me through 1 day.
Battery Life is very dependant on how you use your phone so there really is not a best ROM for battery life
I meant that for the same usage which ROM (or android version) gives better battery life?
hmmm... I guess the you get best on CM7, which is Gingerbread.
I used lacoste 4.1.2 jellybean Rom . I have about 1-2 days on WiFi and average use . It can be considered as a battery saving Rom . Have not tested out other jellybean Rom yet besides that

Afaik, most battery friendly ROM is CM7 nightly #146 (GB ROM). Somebody recently posted download link for it. If you can't find it, download one of these, it will do the job. In general, avoid Sense ROMs if you need good battery life.

+1 for Gingerbread 3 days battery, over ICS 2 days with light use.
that's with tbklakes stock GB rom verses tbklakes stock ICS rom, if i oc, scraping 2 days lol.
Addy
GB 3 Days
ICS 2 Days
With normal use
i think the best battery life is for gingerbread.
Gingerbread? mmm
with my phone, I had a quite good feeling about Jeally bean.. if you use a lot of data/3G traffic, gingerbread is not the best

All roms are different its user choice .

I'm currently using it right now. Its pretty good. But now it has been updated to version 3.2. Might go flash it tomorrow.
im running the 3.2 version
installed it 2 days ago
seems fine to me..
I was using darky's for a long time but since hes taken a break i've been exploring other rom's. I've been on simple honey 3.1 for about two weeks and really like. I have been getting outstanding battery life. On average two days of pretty heavy use, with wifi on and email sync. Been quite happy with it. It had a few bugs such as black on black text but 3.2 has fix that.
I can tell after some weeks of simply honey 3.1 it has strong points against other roms and some little bugs (ex. text on black) that seems to be fixed in 3.2.
Currently i'm 3.2 but battery life in 3.1 was better than every original, that's for sure.
Bye
Thanks I notice that battary life in 3.2 maybe little bit lower than the regular anroid Rom but this is a very good Rom I haven't noticed any bugs yet
rom has very little effect on battery relative to the kernel: Simply Honey 3.2 has excellent battery life because it utilizes the GTO kernel
it's still an excellent Rom but what differentiates various Roms from one another regarding battery use is the kernel they use
Maybe darix can do a battery re-calibration and see how's the new battery life. Should be better than normal rom.

i'm on simpley honey 3.2 and my battery lasts for about 30 hours at avrage with everyday use (wi fi on and off, internet, music, videos etc.)

hows the gps on dis rom?
Hello guys! On sunday, my gf and I are going on a trip to UK and France. I'll be able to use my phone to taking pictures, sending SMS's, connect to Wi-Fi, posting to Tumblr/Facebook and listen to music, but will probably not be able to charge the phone every night. Therefore, I think I've to change ROM from Galnet MIUI to a custom stock ROM to get a longer lasting battery. MIUI is a fantastic ROM, but I can't get the battery to last longer than 18 - 24 hours with semi-heavy use.
So which ROM would you choose on a holiday trip, where you want to connect to internet a few times every day, taking pictures, you name it, without being able to charge every night? Or, is there any CM7/MIUI -kernels that is very battery efficient?
Would appreciate answers.
If you don't matter going back to Froyo just take Darky's 9.5. In my opinion best Froyo-ROM and even better than Darky 10.1.
But I probably wouldn't use CM7 on holiday, it just drains too much battery (but it is one of the best ROMs) for SGS...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Thank you for the answer.
I don't want to go back to Froyo, but how is Darky 10.1? Is it kind with the battery too?
I don't know, I tried 10.1 for only 2h, then I flashed CM7.
But for the things you'll need on holiday 9.5 would be perfect.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
just my opinion if froyo is an option:
use the last froyo based ultimate rom (8.2) by webstar and combine it with the last froyo kernel by damian (1.3 beta 3 i believe) This kernel also allows uv which saves some battery as well
I've used this combination for quite some time and I am still amazed by battery life and stability!
Again, thank you for answering! I don't like to think about a downgrade, but I shall think about using either Darky's or Ultimate. But, let us say that these Froyo ROMs doesn't exists, which Gingerbread ROM have the best battery life?

Try a jvp rom
Insanity cm 014/glitch
well problem is... if you go for a sammy gb rom you will have to flash gb bootloaders, then flash back to froyo when/if you return to MUIU or CM7
Bujv9. Stock with damiens beta 7 i think is the best real world battery life. I tried jvp with gto and went back to bujv9. Just my opinion though...whatever works for you.

Hey guys. I too am going on holiday next week.
I will be taking a lot of 720p videos and pictures.
Therefore, MIUI Galnet is not going to be the best rom for me to use.
Juwes rom as been mentioned in this thread. Can anyone else confirm that this is one of the best roms for excellent battery life, if not are there any others?
Yes, Juwe's ROM isn't bad - just try it.

when I'm going on holiday, I try not to replace the proper tools with the sgs. So for pics and video, I use a real photocamera... not the emergency microbic sensor normally mounted on smartphones, even our beloved sgs. Since you're planning to take videos and pics, you should also plan about the best way to take them!
cameras on smartphones... this should be matter for another thread really... as an example, I read here and there people worrying about focus bugs, but depth of field is a function of sensor size (size, not pixel count) and sgs sensor is SO small that DOF tend to be always infinite and the focus problem irrelevant.
My bottom line: don't waste juice and bring a real camera!
Cm7 and miui don,t Have fantastic battery life try jetpack it has very good battery life !

Darky's 10.2 is best for me giving more battery life and performance.... My suggestion is to use Darky'sROM they have good support also.
hello, what is the best rom for me?
i use a lot the mobile every day... sometimes it's ten of the morning and i have only 70% or 60% of the battery...(when i unpluged for charge at 8 or 9 of the morning!!!!)
my battery need's to be calibrate, how can i do that?(when is full charged the battery start's at 97%..., and sometimes when i change the sim card, one is with 40% of battery, and the next moment, the other with for example 25%)
i use a lot of 3G and wifi(since 15 february i have used 3.75gb at wifi, and 8.01gb at 3g)
sometimes i use the videocalls, and play some games
i need a rom stable with wifi..
i use some app's with connection to the internet(messenger for example)
i send and receive calls, sms's and mms
i need a rom with long life battery...
thanks
I am new to custom ROM and Planning to install Teamhacksung's ICS Build 16.
Currently on Ginger Bread Value Pack.
Please suggest.
I am using the JW1 ROM.
My battery has been calibrated and comes off the charger anywhere from 97% to 100% (varies day to day).
I can get close to two days of use with the battery with moderate use (internet, facebook, Seesmic, Google+).
On heavy use days I end the day at about 40% battery left.
Which one is better, Teamhacksung or WeUI?
I've used official rom, Darky Rom, MIUI Mintberry and use Dark Knight 3 (ICS 4.0.4) now. You can try MIUI Mintberry. It is very powerful about battery. But I'm not sure about wireless that spends energy so much everytime.
The best is always the one that meets your needs, I'm using WeUI and is fantastic.
Sorry my bad English.
not bad dark knight v3
Go for team icssgs RC 4.2 and flash the semaphore 0.9.1 kernel it's amazing

Installed Doc's Master V6. Superb ROM. Great Battery backup with Samsung Apps.
I have tried BLUE LIGHTNING- v1.1.1-BLACKeditioN see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489213
and also Dark Knight 3 (now 4) see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510940 they are both good and stable for daily use.
My current favourite is Blue Lightning but this could change over the next few days!
It is down to personal preference but check out the comments on the relevant threads for best battery life etc. etc.
The fun is trying out the different roms and kernels......

Depends on your tastes. For pure unadulterated ics go with elites v9.1 for more tweaking options go with roms based on aokp or codrnameandroid. For slim versions you can't go wrong with krarvinds slim ics

For rock solid stability, compatibility with the fewest quirks as possible, i'd recommend MIUI Mintberry.
It's GB based and has been running SOLID for months on my phone. Battery lasts for the whole day with intense use. Lasts 2 or even 3 with minimum use.
Everything i ever tried, worked. No lags, no quirks no workarounds needed, it just works (gps doesn't but mine never did, isn't rom related)
No crap "it's for your own good" excuse for the battery drain when charged to 100 and still plugged as seen in samsung roms (that's what sets this one aside for me).
Beautiful sms interface with one of the best notifications/popups methods i've seen. Ever.
Launcher needs to be changed though, i really like Go Launcher Ex. MIUI's lacks organization.
Phone is as fast as it gets. And this is FAST! I've tried almost everything around (ICS even) and this one comes nothing short of the fastest roms around.
well i think the best rom for batterylife is froyo 2.2.1
or try darky 9.5 or ultimate
they are the best roms for battery and they r all froyo
I think the best ROM I've used for battery life is Simplicity 2.2.1v2, that thing lasted for a couple of days. That ROM is based on GB 2.3.6. I've also heard good things about Gamerz but I haven't tried it.
If you want an ICS ROM I'd recommend Slim ICS. I'm running it with the semaphore kernel at the moment and can get 2 days of use out of it usually.
I have Dark Knight 3 with Devil2 kernel running perfect on my phone
Video calls? Skype or 3G network calls?
Currently i'm using ics infinitum rom. Battery life is really good. It easily went for two days. But there are many bugs in ics roms like camera fc, phone dialer fc etc. Now i wanted to go back to any good customised GB rom which matches the battery life of this ics rom, lasting upto 2 days.

with CM7 I was able to go a day and a half without charging and same with infinitum ICS v2.1 .. so am guessing it would be same for you
I9000XWJW5 2.3.6
And Sephamore Kernel 2.74..
I get almost 2 days with minimal use.. i get 24 hours with browsing, youtube, skype,, etc.

Strange... When I tried CM7 (CM7.1) on my i9000, my battery drained quite fast. Battery life was almost 60-70% down ( as compared to JVU stock rom) with CM7.
However I am quite happy with batter consumption on JW4 but I do miss video gtalk on this

I always updated to latest nightly and the last one I used was nightly 181.. smooth and great battery life.. auto sync and data on all the time along with other normal usage gave me batter life of 1 day +
Battery life is most important for me. i've tried alot of roms for this reason but then always came back to this combination.
1-) install I9000XWJVZ_I9000OXAJVT_OXA via ODİN,

Hi,
With ICS I did 2 days of batt life. With JB, even did batt calibration after installed, I get less than 1 day.
Have been trying SVA, Chrack, Cassie, and a lot more JB rom with same result... (testing for a week each one)
Why have ICS Roms so better battery results then JB?
firstly they are leaks.. not an official rom so not that optimized. I have been on XXLSA and i get 1.5 hrs of mod use.. and was same on ICS as well.. so i dint find much of a difference

Lol, nokia, think your idea of moderate differs from mine But yeah, i read of some users getting over 15 hours use and am v jealous, as of ics i get max of 12 with general use.

lol, depends on definition of usage. Some like off the charger.
I prefer unused state:max standby and comparison full use of screen. both with being registered (on good reception) mobile network and multiple email accounts with push.
Jb gives me the feeling its better. Could be placebo.
I have broken my 5 hour full screen on time without degrading functionality. I am on 6,5, but with a inverted ereader.(so yes I cheated) Its not really representative, cause full browsing still is 4,5. On a new battery that is and wifi/mobile connectivity.
