[Q] Good battery ROM - LG Optimus 2x

Hello people,
first of all I want to say that I know there are more questions like this one, but I couldn't find an up-to date one.
I'd prefer an ICS or later rom since.. well the GB roms are quite outdated, but if you know a rom which offers a great battery life don't hesitate to tell about it.
I'm corrently using CM10 unofficial from Pengus77:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058231
Here is a screenshot of my current battery life with light use (no data, little wifi for whatsapp and sometimes checking my timetable screenshot) :

Please let me know if you know a very battery-friendly rom.
Edit:
And it's not like I have an ancient battery or something ( +- half a year old).

Hello!
I'm using Paranoid Android and I like it a lot. Battery life is really great. I'm using my phone from morning till the night and almost always battery last long enough. I'm using it for surfing, listening music, phone calls, messages so I think that this is really nice rom.

AW: [Q] Good battery ROM
Got to confirm that! Using PA with Kowalski kernel 113, OC @ 1,3 GHz some small UV and a great app as recommended by pengus and tonyp which is greenify! Take a look at it

Hope you find what you are looking for.

Wise choice.
Note: Don't judge the battery too fast. Wait till it have done a few cycle charges (meaning: plug charger in at a low battery percentage, keep it charching till its 100% - repeat few times.).

Yes, I will (although a lot of people say you should only charge to 80/90% to not overcharge your battery)
What governor are you all using btw? just normal interactive?
Update: installed the rom, all my apps, filled in my preferences/personal customisation etc. and I lost about 25%
so everything seems to go quite well with this rom.
Just one question:
what is a good alternate theme instead of the xperia one?

Default governor.

Well, here are the results of the PA rom:
As you can see the battery life is MUUUCH better. This is at almost the same usage as seen on the other screenshot so It's a fair comparison.
Thank you for informing me about this great rom and as a token of my esteem I'll give you all a :good:.

Massive Battery Drain on Reboot

Recently, I've been having massive battery drain on reboots. Is this a calibration issue? I'm currently on the 4/15 build of CM10, but was previously on Slimbean 4.1 2/25 build. It was happeneing on that build as well. It just dropped from 55% to 12% after the reboot...Also, my battery is slightly bloated, it can't really be seen visually, but you can feel it. Are these two correlated? Should I get a new battery?

Your battery is fried, time for a new one, whenever you have swelling, its the number one sign that your battery is dead. Soon you won't be able to use your phone without it being connected to a charger.

I too have had this issue with the SlimBean, I believe it to be from the "Fast USB Charge" function.
Since it has to be replaced anyways, any suggestions for Extended Batteries?

I got this one and its pretty nice:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009PGTUFQ
It's 2050mah so not too much more than stock but still good. I bought it because it doesn't require a special battery cover. Lasts me all day with decent (sometimes excessive) use. And it looks cool in red haha.

Already bought another stock battery, but if I had known about this, maybe would have bought this instead. Oh well, the new battery is working much better than my old already.

Thanks for the info, I've seen that one, but I think that I'm going to go with this one: EZO Power since I'm never very far from a charger. (battery troubles will cause you to carry one or keep them everywhere. LOL)
i have 3 at home, one in the car and 2 at work
Ive just started running AOIP, and I have experienced the massive drain on reboot. so the consensus is its a battery issue?
When ever you have battery issues like that it is you battery. Soon you will notice random reboot accompanied by massive battery drain. Then you will have to have your phone plugged in just to use it, you will also start to notice swelling. I recommend you get another before it gets this bad. Trust me having to have your phone plugged in 24/7 is not fun

[Q] looking for stable and battery friendly rom

hey guys,
So I got this phone and as I'm not a fan of the sense 5.0 I installed the GE from this topic here
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341395
I noticed that the battery was really really bad in this rom.
I was just wondering what is a good stable rom that is battery friendly. I'm not really a gamer so i don't need to worry about maxing out my specs.
Also I understand that there is no best rom I am just looking for the views of other people.
And a recommendation in kernel would be nice too.

I use Android Revolution 11.5 with ElementalX kernel.
I lost 1% battery over night. Battery lasts about 30 hours with my usage profile. Give it a try...

Battery life is amazing. Can usw my One about two days until i have to charge it.:good:
One more vote for ARHD, really awesome battery life. Currently I'm running TrickDroid 8.0 and overnight I lost 11% while on ARHD it was 2% only. Plus, on TD8 I feel some nasty scrolling lag.
You realise that this thread will just end up a long list of different rom/kernel combinations? Which emphasises the fact that different people will recommend different combinations depending on their usage. The only way to know for yourself is to test them yourself - I know you will read that everywhere, but only because it's true.

Maybe give 'greenify' a try independent of ROM.

When I received my one via ups I was so excited I turned it right on and activated it was that a bad idea? Should I had charged it first before turning on? I allowed it to die completely before the first charge my battery is alright I'm just wondering should I be getting better results? Also my phone shuts down on random and I have to hold volume down and power to reboot doesn't even go to bootloader. So I ran a ruu and now on complete stock to see if the issue goes away. I was also s off with revone I reverted back to s on before the ruu though I'm wondering is the shutting down have to do with me not charging and damaging the battery, the s off, or hardware. I'm hoping it was just a bad root so I dont have to swap phones anyone have any ideas?

I think we all understand it's best to find out for your self what the BEST ROM/KERNEL is. I think that some of of just like to see what everybody is using and how it is working for them in real world. I hate how alot of people in these threads are so reluctant to give out any info on what they are personally using.

[Q] Problems with battery

I have been trying to figure out how some of you guys get these amazing battery lives and I'm struggling... I have flashed quite a few roms in the past several days (ICS, CM 10.1 , 10.2) and all of them come with the latest kowalski kernel M1 or exp 126.
with kowalski kernel M1 on TheROM build 13:
the battery lasts only 5-6 hours with about 1 hour normal usage and screen on time...
when the battery goes to 0% and phone turns off I plug in the charger and switch on the phone and it starts from numbers like 70% or 60% ! :silly: after the charging is done I leave the charger on for a few hours at 100%, then I unplug the phone and use it normally (nothing heavy, just few minutes facebook and email with some calls and browsing) the most I got is around 5-6 hours with 1 hour screen-on time :crying:
with kowalski kernel M1 norh on TheROM build 13:
same story but here the situation is worse, after about 5 hours with data and wifi mostly off (just manually switched on when I needed to check something), the battery was about 35% and then suddenly it jumped to 0% and phone shut down! I turn it on and it shows 20% and it works for few minutes then again jumps to 0% and shuts down... :crying:
I have done everything I could and followed any advice I could find related to this issue and nothing seems to help. I flashed the roms after factory reset with fully wiping everything including the internal SD, and I have done at least 4 cycles of full discharge and recharge with the phone turned on for calibration but the situation stays the same.
The battery I use is a new OEM from LG and I bought it 2 weeks ago because I thought the old battery was the problem.
I am currently using TheROM build 13
can you please advice what could solve the issue or what am I doing wrong?
I attached the logs I got using SysLog, on both kernels hope it provides some clues.
I'd greatly appreciate if you can help me out.

That is really frustrating, but... KK battery driver is somewhat intelligent and needs at least 3 full cycles of drain and full charge (100% + another hour) to be calibrated. I have good battery performance with Pengus' CM10. It is really worth a try.

@oneearleft Thanks a lot for your reply, I know about the calibration , I have done that every time....
unfortunately I have the battery problem with all of these roms
CM10 "Look Ma! No Hands!" Edition
CM10.1 - tonyp - T-Build 05
cm-10.2-20130824
Stock ICS OptiX Rom
TheROM - build 13
apart from the battery life, everything else is working perfectly with TheROM for my needs, I really hope to find a way to fix the problem
waiting desperately for KK 3.1 kernel ... hope the battery driver gets a good share of pengus' magic
How old is your battery? After 17 months, I bought a new stock battery. The difference was tremendous.

It seems you are doing everything correctly. Have you tried the app Better Battery Stats to record what is draining battery?

Nice new rom to play with.
Just a few errors in the OP, not sure if you noticed them yet...
New power mwnu from SlimRoms;
Lockscreen tragets and shortcuts from SlimRoms;
Lockascreen PIN key pad shuffler;
Regardless, it's great to see another ROM to play around with!
Ok will fix them., thanks mate.
In the other hand im having Internet issues and the upload got cancelled 3 times already for slow upload. Will do tomorrow if i dont get an update done before uploading with lots of more options to play with.
Op updated with download link
What doesn't work? lol
Downloading
Everything works that i know of.
Idk if this is a Google thing or we just have amazing devs. But I feel like it was SO much easier to make a stable 4.4 build then any other one.

Soo... are you SVLan with a different name? I noticed SVLan is no longer the OP for PureSpeedX. Just curious. I'm running PureSpeedX and it is the fastest, best battery life ROM that has ever existed for the AHD, so if this is from the same guy, I can't wait to play with it. Can we expect that kind of speed? If we have that kind of speed and halfway comparable battery life along with customizations like you have here, this will be insane. I get easily 2 work days worth of medium use out of PSX. That's unheard of for any android really. Anyways, can't wait to test it out, especially the active notifications. Will be flashing ASAP.
Yes im the same guy.
About this rom, this version is not compare in speed and battery life as CM11 is know to drain battery faster the stock kitkat. But for the options and display animations this one have is very responsive. Will get way better on the coming update soon
The ROM looks good
Very nice customizations, smooth,can't say about battery life yet

Well, I figured that much. CM always uses more battery than AOSP, but when you get two days of battery life, I'd gladly sacrifice half that for customization lol. CM has never hit the battery enough to cause a problem, so if I can get two days out of PSX, surely I can get one day out of this easily. Still can't wait to try it out! Thanks!
Problems with keyboard with swipe and immediately closes with no error, problems with signal sometimes drops it all with no network. Airplane mode fixes it for a little. No vibration feedback anywhere except navigation bar.
Is it just me or is the gapps link not working??

Try again I changed the link to direct download from pa thread instead

Anyone?

Wondering if anyone is working on a new rom now the sources have been released.
It does not seem like it. I have been looking a lot around the net. I am considering selling mine.
I already built some ROMs for other phones and tablets but you guys need to understand that this is not something that is done in a day !
With my ******* connection I am not even done with the download of the sources ! Then you need to make some adjustments, sync, gather all the sources and finally build which is a really heavy process and right now since I need my computer to work, I can't let him build and compile.
I'll definitely build some ROM for this device since I want to try new ROMs but I need more time
That sounds encouraging. Even if the performance were increased (less battery drain) on the existing Mokee and CM 12.1 Roms, we would be in a better place. I am currently on Mokee 14/03 and the battery drain makes it very difficult to use out and about.

Hi ectoplasma22, I hope you could build a nice rom for this phone, because the smartphone deserves it! Can you say me if you have found some bugs on the Mokee one? Is all working on it? I'm now on miui europe stable and the rom is good but I see some limitation of the Miui rom wich are a little annoying like errors converting user app in system app system and many, but however I found how to switch the 2k dispay resolution to 1080 and the battery life increased +30%, also if I'm getting error writing screenshots on sdcard and some apps see only a small area to work, and the cursor for those apps is blocked in a small space, like the app Nice Eyes which can't be placed on the eyes. Do you know a secure way to change resolution without get anu bugs?

Lots of comments in the Mokee thread here on battery drain. http://en.miui.com/thread-228046-1-1.html
Great that it's working for you, but mine is way worse than miui for drain. Seems to be related to min cpu frequency being high during idle.
I also notice that the cm 12.1 thread has a known issue on needing to have two sims inserted and using the second for lte if you want to use lte. http://en.miui.com/thread-234339-1-1.html. I'm not sure if this impacts Mokee too or if related to battery drain (I have one sim only in sim 2). But my drain is a lot better when aeroplane mode is on.
Android 6 coming from nian, only sound is bugged..

I'm glad I asked now, things seem to happening slowly, Mokee is ok battery no great but passable, I needed to enter APN manually as some of the fields were missing causing crazy issues.
