For milestone? I would say that the 01-25 leak is the best by far.
The rest are pretty evenly matched (the CM7 base roms are mostly the same, etc)

On the ShadowMOD the battery life is comparable to stock 2.1. At least on build 3 - build 6. On other mods (FroyoMod, Cyanogen) it is generally lower, if you do not tune it yourself.
Leak 01-25 is not bad too, but seems a bit less stable.

How to tune it ??
I heard that froyomod has a pretty good battery life. Is it true ??

James91, I've meant that shadowmod seems to be better in battery life just from the moment of flashing. When using the froyomon they recommend to use it's "battery calibrate" script, or delete batterystats.bin manually, and use task killers, and so on.
I was on froyomod for 5 days and never got more than 24 hrs on battery (non-intensive use). But I did not use "calibrate" script, because I a m not sure in it's safety. On shadowmod I have 40+ hours.

Thanks for your reply
I have just tried froyomod but unfortunately I got some errors on internal memory
and I turn to shadowmod again
The battery life of shadowmod (b3) is OK.
Since it would automatically kill tasks and reduce power consumption.

You dont need scripts to tune our phone. Use the 'bump charge' trick. There is a lot of talk about this in the CM7 thread.
1 power off phone
2 plug into wall charger
3 remove battery
4 wait for ? To appear (question mark)
5 put battery back in for LONG charge
6 flash any rom with full wipe.
This will ensure battery calibration on new ROM.
But honesly, if battery life is your thing: use the 01/25 leak. I am not sure why people disagree. The ROM is not flashy at all, but battery is at least 2x better then closest ROM. We have 4 milestones at work and everybody get at least 36 to 48 hrs of HEAVY use. Most cant get more then 12 to 16 with other ROMs.
Ppl that want battery life use that rom, ppl that want features, etc...use CM7 or others. Although some people are now moving back to the leak as themes are avaiable for it and a suprising amount of work is going into it.

I'm using Cronos 1.8.1 now and I'm really happy with it.
It's pretty popular among Milestone users, too bad you didn't include it.
stock roms for sure, I'm using the latest O2 leak & it's excellent in terms of power management.

I didn't include Cronos 1.8.1 coz I have heard that this rom has obvious battery drain.
does it have good batary life??
and does simply honey have good preference?
there are better roms then this one?

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.

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

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.)
at first it didnt last over 12 hours no matter what after a few days it was fine.
hows the gps on dis rom?
hey all, im currently running virtuous quattro RC3 which is a really nice rom. Looks nice, good Battery life...
question is, is there better? i tried ARHD but the battery life was horrible, any ROMs that really stand out?

Battery life is so 'subjective' to how you use the phone, apps and data that you are going to get answers across the board.
I for one have found that ARHD and the stock 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 ROMs give 'me' excellent battery usage. I can get 2 days out of a single charge, which completely contradicts your experience, doesn't it?
Also CM7 has excellent battery life for my usage pattern, but I prefer the Sense camera app.
Cm7 I have to charge my phone once a day. I generally put it on charge at night before I go bed. But heavy usage will mean I have to charge as soon as I get in from work etc. ..... tbh for ner this is good my iphone needed to be charged in a morning then topped up at night. I havnt done too much with other roms to come up with justified comparisons.

If you want a sense 3.5 ROM I'd suggest you Virtuous Affinity, it's very stable and works great
It all comes down to preference and usage. Theres no perfect rom for everyone you just have to try and experiment
Personally im using MIUI, smooth, easily customized and battery isn't too bad about a day with: data on all day, heavy on texts, medium on calls and games occasionally.
Based on performance i say the trinity sensation and the ice cold sandwich would be nice but im not too sure about the battery life

Best combination I found was cm7 nightly and tiamat kernel 1.1.4

I flashed Nik roms once and addicted to his roms since then, beautiful rom with built-in tweaks and excellent performance.
Currently ROM: Nik_IncredibleS_TriNiTy_SensationXL V 4.5 By Nikhil007 a.k.a Nikhil Dhayatkar
IceColdSandwich 5.5 ROM is the best
With minimal usage, battery has lasted 4 days and still on 40%

Agreed. 5.6 now too with working cameras.
Give it a whirl, you won't be dissapointed!

thats weird as... coz i left it in my pocket and it was using up about 1% everytime i looked at it which was about every 5 minutes
and thanks all for the replies, might have to try icecoldsandwhich, seems to be a hit
before i put icecold on, IceColdSandwhich vs Virtuous Quattro?
ARHD 2.2.0 have best battery life for me, more then enough for full day of heavy usage. Usually lasts for 2 days. I cant get even close results with other roms.
Ice cold sandwich is my favorite. After using 4.0, I can't go back to 2.3. ICS is just so much nicer looking and better performing IMO.

4 days? nice. ye, i ended up flashing Ice Cold 5.6
Best battery for me was ARHD with Sense elements removed, easily.
Best performing was CM7.1.
Best looking Ice Cold Sandwich 5.6 which I'm currently running now.
Favourite overall is Ice Cold; pretty damn good performance and decent (but not amazing) battery on Tiamat kernel.
i'm waiting CM9 lol
Ice cold sandwich does pretty good overall. Actually it has some minor things to fix but you need to see before you buy so you're gonna love it.

so here's my issue its with the battery.. before on v3.5 I would get amazing battery best Rom I've ever gotten battery life from.. I switched off to a stock ics Rom cause of the camera and dropped network issue.. when I noticed the camera was fixed I flashed v3.7 and now I get horrible batt life literally 30% to 30 mins with medium use facebook texting browsing... I'm wondering what's going on?? and its not the battery I have 3 and they all die fast with this Rom.. is it my phone? any suggestions would be appreciated
Try reflashing

Thanks for responding.. tried it on the holics rom too and horrible battery life idk what it is I'm running the virtuous from and seems to be ok but on sence roms it drains fast it also has random drops from 20% to 12% or just dies I usually run the from for 3 days but the battery doesn't improve is this just a vivid thing or is my device damaged and using a lot of battery?
Also my my device gets very hot on those roms not the battery but below it I'm guessing the processor ?

It is possibly the processor because of the fact that you can overclock your processor on a custom rom.

I'm thinking the same as well it was quite frequent on those roms I dont think its a app because before I install my apps the phone is pretty much vanilla so I turned off some sync and dropped my CPU to 720 MHz or so and also lowered my gpu with kernel tuner. Hope this works
Side note if u don't love sense go with the virtuous rom its awesome.. coupled with nova prime its been the most flawless rom for me fyi s off at&t vivid.. really well made rom I haven't run into any problems using it..IMO the borked rom and virtuous rom are the most stable on at&t version of vivid
If anyone had this problem ill let u know how I fixed it.. just flash kosmik kernal and that's it works beautiful my battery now lasts all day with heavy use.. hope this helps someone
Hi,
Yesterday i rooted my Galaxy Note using the LiveNote ROM.
The ROM itself is very good, very smooth and retaining that Touchwiz look that i love but i have found it have serious effects on my battery life. The battery life is diabolical, only lasting 1 hour and 22 minutes of screen time, half of which i was using wifi. Before the root, my battery was not good anyway, only lasting about 3 hours screentime but this new ROM has pretty much crippled my phone.
What i want to know is this, is there any way of keeping this ROM but vastly improving battery life, say to where i was before at around 3 hours screentime? OR perhaps is there another ROM with decent performance, using the Touchwiz interface and also having good battery life?
The phone is running Jellybean 4.1.2 and i am using Philz.
Regards
James

There is a way:
Start reading the uncountable (and mostly idiotic) threads about bad battery life after flashing a ROM.
Or read threads about battery life when the baterry is older than a year.
If that is too difficult or if you are too lazy then please stay on stock ROM - not only the life of the battery will benefit from it.

I do agree mostly with the previous reply.
Still, Sweet Rom 10.5 has good batery life and performance. Live Note seems to come with c.o.h kernel which has Gpu OC. Unless you have change kernel that may affected batery.
