Hello,
Please what is the best rom and kernel for a good battery life ?
Regards
Hi
Greetings,
Stock Rom..
And such kind of threads are against the rules of xda
Their is no such thing called best Rom and best kernel, all the roms are best and amazing and have a lot of hard work behind them...
Try not to ask such question later
(sorry if you think its rude)

So many factors effect battery life, basically it boils down to this: minimize power consumption (current drawn from battery) will lead to long battery life - time between charges.
Major drain is screen - lower brightness or different auto brightness patch will help
Similarly running lower max cpu clock frequency and or under volting cpu
( custom kernel) will help
Also reduce use of GPS, which uses loads of power will help

It's the kernel which affects the battery, generally all Sense roms will have the same battery as they use the same base and share the same fixes and mods.

True, though a custom rom might give you a bit more battery because there is less bloatware.
Now, regarding a custom kernel, that will definitely affect battery life.
Discussions about the best ROM or kernel are not allowed. Closed.

Hi all
I've unlocked the bootloader on mine through the htcdev site and am currently running Niks latest rom.
However after flashing Nik's latest rom, I'm finding that my battery life has been horrible (i very much doubt its the rom, lots of people have commented on great battery life with his). Can just scrape through a full day's use of texting, some web browsing and music playing. After some browsing on the phone, it goes down from 100% to 90% in about 10mins I've tried increasing my battery life by following the method found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701567 but it still hasn't worked for me.
After reading the forums, I've heard that unity's kernel supposedly brings better battery life and am considering flashing it. However I'm not sure if i can flash it given that I haven't rooted my phone or done an s-off?? Can someone please give me an answer on that?
Also, is there anything else I can do to increase my battery life?? It's so annoying having to impose restrictions on myself to increase battery life when my friend's S2 drops to 98% after some browsing and 3 hours of standby...
Thanks so much guys
sometimes, a custom roms make your baterai drain fast.
why? so many tweaks and overclock at cpu.
so, you have other options to change your custom rom.
example, ARHD 2.1.3 make your baterai not drain fast.
If you don't have full s-off, then you are restricted to whatever kernel comes with your ROM. I'd recommend you look into SetCPU if you haven't already, which will improve battery life by regulating how your processor is used. Juice defender is an app worth looking into as well. Have you tried flashing an earlier version of the ROM? Sometimes you can get a build where the kernel just doesn't work well. You might find your battery life improve with an older version, with a different version of the kernel. You have nothing to lose by trying I guess.

As man, not the answer I was hoping for. Thanks for the info, ill give that a try and see if battery life improves. If not might go the whole stretch and get an s-off

Believe me, it's worth it in the long run. Good luck!
ok folks !!
time to share your opinions, suggestions and experience !
which is the better kernel for battery life and performance !
battery life is of prime importance to me !
thanks...
This is obviously subjective. The standard XDA response is "try them out and stick with what you like.
My personal preference, however, is Faux123's dual-core kernel.

same here
I'm using Faux's kernal right now and it's running nicely. Tried out kozmikkernal and it was great too. Hard to tell the difference with the usage i do. Kinda curious about the technical differences and what those differences should do in theory. I know kozmikkernal and BCs kernal both have sweep to wake which can be a nice feature if you don't like using your power button
I use my phone like a teenager... Not to text... But.... With faux123's kernel... I get like 5 hours of screen time... And when I let my son play games on my phone... He plays constantly and gets like 4 hours screen time...
If I use my phone like a normal person... I can hit 16 hours

I use kozzmik kernel it runs great on my phone

holic kernel also doing Good buddy , it' based on Faux kernel. still not getting any different between two ,
at this time, i choose Holic, becoz of this "
This Kernel is focused on stability, more Performance and best battery life.

I've used Faux123's kernel for awhile, has anyone used both and if so which has the best battery life?
faux123's still has the best battery life and speed in my opinion. I've been using it since the first release, and my battery life can last up to three days with heavy usage while using the kernel, I even had it overclocked to 1.7 GHz.
Also, we now have a Q&A section, please remember to post your question in the appropriate section next time.
wow!
3 Days is a miracle from my experiences, I believe this is with light use! I must admit I find myself curious to try it!
i have general and development bookmarked so I didn't even know there was a question section, thanks though!
No problem, I hope you have come to a conclusion to which kernel works best for you.
Faux's kernel is still my favorite, i feel like kozmik's has too much extra stuff like sleep to wake, im sure that isn't great on the battery life.

It has negligible impact on battery. All it does essentially is imitate the power button to unlock.
Personally if I felt that battery life was the moat important thing about a phone then I would just buy an non smart flipphone

For my personal curiosity,I'd like to understand why battery drains off too fast with custom rom and why not with gingerbread? Is it only question of new OS release to consume more battery to work???
Well custom rom requires more
Power than gingerbread to perform better,,, CSR is popular for its newly polished UI, and extra features... This requires more power .. Hence battery drains quicker.
HIT THANKS BUTTON ,THNKS

But battery reduces her life about 1/3... It is too much... And galaxy tab has much memory and cpu to support android 4... It isn't clear for me...
CM10 is still under development.
For P1000, Samsung will not develop JB, so no source code will be released for the kernel. Development by CM team will take longer time to perfect.
It is normal that the battery consumption hasn't been perfected by now.

Power consumption is subjective and also depends on your apps and system settings.
Another big battery drain is your modem version so check which is the best modem for your model.

I had same battery consumption with CM9.1.0...
Battery life isn't subjective... With GB battery lasts 6 day, with JB 2 day...

Ofcourse its subjective numpty. Battery life differs A LOT from person to person depending on how they use their devices, what apps they use, what settings they use, do they OC or UV etc etc etc.
6 days lol? I'll take it you have no friends.
Hiii Guys I'm Currently Using Blisspop V2.2 It Was An Awsome ROM Except Its Battery Performance, Since The Xiaomi Released Kernel Sources i've been observing xda mi3 section there are alot of custum kernels thanx to all devs,and i did not try any one so far, so my question is especially by considering Blisspop rom is there any best kernel which improves the battery performance in mi3?? please suggest me and help mee waiting for ur valuble suggestions..!!
Thanku in advanced..!!
Stuxnet+ it is!

I'm using the Stuxnet kernel too - though your question is impossible to answer. It really depends on your use, combined with the governor/min-max processor speeds etc. Most of the kernel variables are accessible for all custom kernels.
Also, what is battery performance? Days on standby, or hours of screen'on time? Browsing or gaming..?
It's very easy to limit battery consumption by reducing screen brightness, running a conservative governor, not using the upper available frequencies etc.
I'd say that they make a bigger difference than swapping between stable kernels.

here in my view battery performance means Screen On Time..!!!
A search would have answered this. There is no best. Try them each out for yourself.
