Best android 4.0 + rom for battery life - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
My sister has a Galaxy S with cm 10.1 nightly 15 -03 running on it (Yes it's old). Her battery life isn't that good, especially when she's doing nothing, the phone drains very fast. It wont last a day.
Do you guys know a rom, prefer JB, that has a better battery life then cm 10.1, or a good kernel to test?
It has to be stable because I don't have time to flash new roms for her every week
Thanks.

CM7 or MIUI ?

Hey so I am on Simple Honey JVB right now and I am looking for a change
So which one should I go for? CM 7 or MIUI? I am mainly concerned about battery drain, because I use my phone quite a lot during the day.
Thanks
I recently switched from darky to Cg7 and the battery drain got a lot worse.
There's currently issues with cm7 about battery drain (see Google code open issues) so you should wait until a stable cm7 is released

CM7 - new nightly was released yesterday - battery life looks much better than before. But if you are concerned wait for stable.
I using MIUI and its really fast and amazing custom, I'm worse only on battery drain, but all are working good
battery on both CM7 and MIUI are comparable as miui is mostly based on CM7. Nevertheless, new releases have improved battery life and keeps getting better!
Worth a shot!

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.

It's a good Rom, but battery life is average.

[Q]Moving out of apex

Well as watsa,is leaving captivate development , I decided to shift ROMs now I like Galnet MIUI but. . .people say it has battery issues.Are the newer builds of MIUI as power efficient as apex. I used to get 18 hours battery life with above moderate use. . .If MIUI is weak in the battery department. . .suggest me a good ROM.
Regards,
neophyte2008.
I've had no issues with Fusion VI. The best I've done is 2 days on battery with moderate use.

Currently Pinnacle 1.2 and have never been happier

[Q] JB vs ICS vs GB for battery life

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

Opinion on battery life.

Hi guys, I would like your opinion on my battery life. I think it's pretty worse. On stock ingerbread I would get 1 day-1 day and a half of battery maybe, bur on every custom rom the battery is pretty ****ty. Below I will post some screenshots so you can see what i mean. I guess the question is, can you give a good rom for battery life? Or what modem should I use?
What rom you using? They are some crappy stats. I'm doing a lot of rom swapping these days. I've had with F4K R4 and CM9 Kernel 5 and a half hours screen on time and great standby. I'm currently using another ICS rom but I find ICS to have some of the best battery. Just have to test some of them and find a decent kernel. Midnight Kernel for ICS has some good battery life.
