Suggested ROM and kernel for best battery life. Sprint Galaxy S4 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

Hello all,
I am currently running PAC-MAN rom with Faux kernel. Battery life is good although I would like to see if I can get better battery life with a standard battery. Does anyone have any suggestions or can post their battery life with ROM\Kernel with additional kernel\rom settings?
Thanks

There is no BEST ROM/Kernel for anything...only what is BEST for YOU based on your usage/apps/preferences/signal strength/phone.

[Q] The ROM with the best battery life?

I found a thread with the battery life for different captivate roms, but they are all old versions of the roms . Can we update that thread with the latest gingerbread roms? Or maybe people can write a comment on this thread saying what rom they got the best battery life with? I am not in my house for around 13 hours a day on weekdays, and I use my phone extensively, so i rely heavily on my battery life getting me through my day and that is why I would like to know what rom, gingerbread preferably, has the greatest battery life. Thanks!
Its completely irrelevant as your battery life will differ from anyone elses...
Threads like this are generally discouraged as they nearly always result in petty squabbling.

Best Battery?

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!

[Q] Battery life in custom roms?

Ok, i want to be quick.
I know there's no a best rom, or that one rom is better than the other, but when it comes to battery, there are few better roms..
So i have 2 questions for you guys.....
What custom rom for our ace has the best battery life?
Which rom, CM 10.1 (WAYLAND_ACE) JB 4.2.2 BETA 7 or AOSP ICS FINAL 4.0.4 MACLAW, has better battery life?
Thanks in advance....
Battery life still depends on what each person does with their phone so what one person may say wont be the same for the next. Your only asking about two roms so my suggestion would be to try them both and figure out which one gives you the best battery life for you own specific uses.]

[Q] Best ROM for battery life

Hello, in your experiences, what is the best rom to have maximum battery life. I have only used the stock ice cream sandwich which was great in that regard, and the Cyan Vivo 10.1. On the 10.1 I use greenify and I have tried different governors, but still the battert life isn't as good as the stock rom was. What roms can you recommend if battery life is a top priority?

It has been my experience that 'battery life' is one of those perception issue.
IMHO only you can tell if a ROM has good battery life based on your usage of the phone. You've tried 2, so you are on your way to answering your own question.

Rom / Kernel Combo

Hello everyone.
I am looking for the best fit for me as far as a rom / kernel combo. I have had the phone a week and was on stock for a day. Battery life was decent but i was looking for more longevity out of the device. I then flashed Dirty Unicorns and love the battery life but not all the theming and black. Is there something stock like with very awesome battery life I can try out? I do like the stock look L / M. I like simple and clean looking with no extra apps. What is the best recommendation for me?
Thank you in advance.
"Best" ROM.
There is no such thing as a best ROM.* The question itself is ambiguous.* "Best" is obviously a subjective term.
What I want from a ROM may well differ from what you want from a ROM, ergo - what is best for me could be worst for you.
If you are asking what the most popular ROMs are, or which ROMs people are using, you can see which threads stay around on the first few pages (and have the most posts) in the Android Development or Original Android Development forums. You can also see what other people are running by reading the What are YOU running on your Nexus 6??? thread.
If you are asking which is the most stable, being a Nexus device - they're all pretty stable.
If you are asking which is best on Battery, ROMs only affect battery if they have a feature that is badly coded.* You will likely be able to read about this in the ROM threads.* ROMs do not impact battery life.* The only impact to battery life are your apps, your settings, how you use the phone and mostly, environmental issues such as Phone Signal.
For tips about improving battery life, please read [Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
"Best" Kernel
There is no such thing as the "Best" kernel.* What we all want from a kernel is different. Again, many people have the misconception that Kernels affect battery life.* Let's get this cleared up.* Although Kernel devs will build in optimisations and efficiencies that will improve battery life, these are very, VERY tiny...and if 1 kernel has these optimisations, they likely all have.
People will often say "Kernel x is better than kernel y for battery life".* This is actually wrong.* Kernels respond to user settings. Setting up the governor to favour either battery life or performance is simple enough to do, you just have to do some learning.* The reason people think Kernel x is better than y is because developers set their kernels up with their preferred governor settings.* This is what we refer to as out-of-the-box settings.* The out-of-the-box settings for kernel x may well produce better battery results than the out-of-the-box settings for kernel y, which favour performance.* The fact is, you as the user have the ability to tune kernel x or y to perform the same, be that battery or performance - so start learning how to do this yourselves - that way, you can choose the kernel based on the FEATURES you want, and not the fictional performance benefits of one kernel over another.
There's no best combo either. Get the features you want and learn to tune the kernel to your desires
Hope this helps
