Can any one help me to find the best kernel available for Ics rc 4.2 ?
I have tried glitch, semaphore and of course the stock one .
But I face serious issues with battery life . Android os eats plenty of battery and the battery is always dead in 6 hours !
Thank you in advance .

Which version?
I searched around and people are telling that 14.2 led is best !
And which governor should I use? generally I use ondemand and lagfree without OC.

Try using smartassv2 or conservative.
OK.

Semaphore 0.9.0 is very very stable. I'm using it on RC 4.2 on SGS-I9000 and it looks like the most fluid at all.Best balance between Battery/performance.

rightly said..RC4.2 in itself was quite laggy..atleast in my observation..i flashed semaphore 0.9.0 recently and suddenly its as smooth as anything..i use smartassv2..
battery life looks good..no FC reboots etc so far! wayyy better than stock kernel.
I'm also using ICSSGS RC4.2 with Semaphore 0.9 (smartassV2 governor), and the battery life is quite good.
Bu I observed that data connection and screen consume a lot of battery. With data disabled, and a normal use, my battery lasts about 2 days. But if I enable data, the battery lasts just a day. And if I use it (check facebook, twitter, reader, that-is-to-say, if my screen is on), the battery is empty in the afternoon.
Do you have your data enabled all the time ? I think this is the component that uses the more the battery..

I have already tried that kernel .
And no data is not enabled all day but for some part of the day.
I know that thing eats battery. But in my battery usage it shows "Android OS" keeps my phone awake. And that is the reason the main reason the battery dies quickly!!

You should try semaphore 0.9.1
Now I'm trying it, it has good battery life and for now I don't see any bug
I hope to help you.
can anybody who used all three of the roms comment on the battery life of these ROMS? how do they compare against each other?

im not one to say I have used all 3, ive only used CM7. it was good. actually even MIUI is good but u gotta know how to find your wakelocks with betterbatterystats. that way you can optimize battery life regardless of whatever rom you're on.
I could go 1-2 days on my MIUI currently FR rom, moderate usage, all my syncs are off, i manually refresh for notifications.

What do you mean "but u gotta know how to find your wakelocks with better batterystats" ? I usually dont have anything running in the background...
I have used CM 7, all MIUI, Lewa, and Mokee, and Ice BlacK too
In my view
1. CM7 have better battery life (but as I use to play 3 D games I won't prefer)
2. Second is Galnet MIUI, built by elol, decent battery life with good performance.
3. Third is Mokee, It is the best ROM for gamer and for others too who don't use to play game. It almost serve me for whole day with games, music and all mail, FB, Linkedin sync on for 24 hrs.
For me best choice is "Bumblebee" it's really a stable ROM and give's really great battery life, Best in which i have used.
In term's of Gaming this ROM is really great, it give's games extra smoothness to Game's by increasing FPS with help of it's new GPU derive.
This all make this ROM as my daily use ROM.

google xda betterbatterystats. download the app and follow the thread, those are uber battery sensitive people in the community.
so you manually sync all your apps as well? even calendar? and leave gtalk signed out?
wakelocks are what keeps the phone away from entering deep sleep. from the betterbatterystats app, if u see ur device entering 96% and above Deep Sleep after a night's full charge and allowed to idle, then good job, no matter what rom ur running u should be doing it right.
wakelocks are what cause a battery drain even when your phone is off idle while u sleep. it isnt only about background apps.
Yes,,I was use betterbatterystats,,I have managed all wakelocks and partial too,,it's give me battery life more time
But battery use info from setting doesn't change,,still give me "Android System" for highest % deal,,

flash stock rom and see if the problem persists. If it does return your phone and get a new one. You've got no other go!!!

post your dump here. and also at the BBS thread where u got the app.
so unless you are getting 96% and above deep sleep, id say you have not completely managed your wakelocks yet. also what are your governor and i/o scheduler settings? OC'ed at? do you have a screen off profile to lower clock speed when screen off?
battery use info may show that, but most important is u charge your phone to full, let it discharge while u sleep and wake up next day, OBTAIN 96% DEEP SLEEP OR HIGHER. figure out what are the wakelocks in BBS. if BBS is managed correctly, even if your android system is using highest %, no big deal, more importantly your battery isn't draining like mad.

Hello guys. I would like to hear some suggestions regarding this. So far I've tried CM7 and emanoN, but both of them drain like hell (specially CM7). Please avoid usual recomendations (turn off data, bluetooth, wireless and all those basic tips).
If there's an app, script or tweak that helps, please share it with me! My priority is battery life, above everything else.
Hope to get some replies! Thanks in advance
Skipping all the basic tips, I suggest you use a pure source-kind of rom. Something like the MOre rom or Pure CM7 by mebitek or kittenlinux, another one is GingerMod. Battery lives one those roms are so far one of the most cheered for. CM9 Beta 7 also had incredible battery life, although the link is probably gone already as mirroring is not allowed by Maclaw. As for the scripts, some mini users find these annoying and just a piece of cr*p, but as for me, I really made sure that it wasn't just a placebo effect. SlaidyBoost v2.3 works well and am happy with the performance and battery life boost that comes with it.

Thanks for your comment! What about this one?
That one was originally made to improve battery life when you use wifi most of the time for browsing the net or such, but I can see that other tweaks have been added for an overall change, and based on the comments there, some users found their minis slow down a bit. Although I haven't tried it yet, it's best if you would simply flash the rom you chose to use, boot it up and set up the settings you want initially, then reboot to recovery, make a backup of that rom, then start experimenting with various scripts found here in XDA that is compatible with our mini. If you don't like the results, then simply restore the backup you made earlier. I'll try that script you told me about if I have the time, though.

No, that ****ty script doesn't work.
I recommend you the stock ROM if you want battery life.
Stock samsung rom has the best battery life. But, on official CM7 with 604MHz for max, 122MHz for min and ondemand cpu governor, i'm having good battery life, can't complain at all. Haven't tried stock rom for ages, maybe my current setup is even better

Thanks man, but I don't think CM7 is the best option when looking for long battery life. I'm going to try de stock based ones and decide if any of them if better than the actual stock rom. Andro-ID, emanoN and GingerMod are apparently the most popular ones. Regarding the others, MORe is discontinued, so I wouldn't go for it, same as the one from kittenlinux. I'll give CyanMobile and mebitek's a try too! Trying GingerMod right now.
CM7.2 is draining battery fast because at default it's using Lil'GV2 governor which is veery agressive regarding CPU frequency! When you set it to ondemand it's much better. It costs you nothing to try it out if you haven't, stock rom is just too ugly and slowish when not rebooted regulary

Installed GingerMod (smartassV2 governor) and overnight battery dropped 35%. That is definitely not normal, and happened with the other ROMs too! Can anyone help me identify the problem?
Edit: BTW, the phone is two weeks old, and when I first bought it I didn't experience this huge drain.

TBH stock rom didn't work for me well especially regarding battery life. CM 7.2 official 710MHz/245MHz ONDEMAND battery lasts and lasts and phone is faster. Couldn't ask for more considering mini is entry level android phone for some time :good:

why dont u recallibrate battery after flashing ROMs:
1. Use app battery callibration from store, the developper is Nema i think.
Thanks, but I do that regularly, and as far as I'm concerned that doesn't improve battery life, just the accuracy of the % shown.
Chocobread with antutu battery saver is amazing I don't charge my phone one and a half day and still the battery is at 20 I love this life ... battery life.

I think stock official CM 7.2 ROM does not contain the kernel. Can anybody please confirm?
On the pc, most of power management is by the kernel. Guess here too, we should look at kernel rather than the rom.?
I may be wrong though.
So, OP, which ROM did you settle for?

Still trying them. I'd say Andro-ID is the best until now! Unfortunately it doesn't support many languages, including mine (spanish).
Chaurigol and wtfshouldidonow, I saw you commented about my project. My project was created specially to achieve a good-battery life. I cannot guarantee that your phone will have great battery life, but you can give a try. Also, you can try my mod with Adrenaline Engine. If you want to try my mod, try to use my edited Adrenaline Engine (which will work with my battery mod):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27664110&postcount=75
My phone (which is now bricked from suspicious reasons) had a great battery life, about 2-4 days.
Hey guys, just thought I'd poll and ask some questions?
So if looking for the best possible battery life (over peformance) which is recommended,
true official stock samsung ROM? or stock ROM e.g. Adrenaline ROM etc
I've tried Stocklite, Adrenaline and am currently using Thunderbolt. However my battery life never goes over a day, even with Juice Defender Ultimate and SetCPU profiles.
Any one else have any experiences with good roms? Battery calbiration tips? charging tips anything?
Thanks

1.The battery life depends more upon your baseband rather than the roms.
Ofcourse the roms do make a difference!
Eg. Earlier i was using Stocklite v7.1 on DDKQ8, and it used to last a day, now on XWKTM it lasts more than that.
2.The battery calliberation is said to be a myth as an official google android developer stated that it does not affect the battery in anyway. (Tried it personally too, no change in battery life!)
3.Underclock when you are not using heavy apps on your phone.
4.The way you use your phone makes a great difference, switch off the bluetooth,gps,data,wifi when not needed! Reduce the brightness, it saves the battery!
Hope all this would help you!
Hey everybody!
I've been using pac 4.4.4 for a while now and I've noticed (how couldn't I) that my battery is draining super fast. For example: I have 70%, I'll go out for a hour and leave my phone home. When I come back, the battery percistance is about 55%. It drains even faster when I'm using my phone active. Any solutions? I'm running PAC 4.4.4 with it's own kernel and L_Speed Mod 1.2 from xda ( can't remember devs name and too lazy to add a link, you might know it).
Thanks in advance.

same, i have bad battery drain(not as bad as yours though) on AOSP based roms. Right now i switched to dmodv6 which is touchwiz based rom and im having way bettery battery life. You could try out dmodv6 and see if you have bettery battery life.

I just tried this app called battery doctor and I must say that it is a life saver. You can get it for free on google play. It's awesome
did it help ur battery drain?
some roms have 1 GHz bug that drain a lot of battery. Download CPU spy plus app from playsotre and check if it always stay at 1000 MHz (1 GHZ) or not. if it happens, reboot your phone with wifi off

Maybe try a different rom, like cm 11 or carbon. They might give you different results. If you really dont want to switch you could try out this mod call L Speed http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-2015-t3020138 I use it and it kinda improved my battery life and performance.
