I currently use the official stable Sense 5 ROM that shipped with my phone, only rooted and am quite fond of the battery life. I use the Power saver feature and get excellent battery life with it.
My question is...
Has anyone done the full conversion to the Google Play Edition and gotten as good or better battery life without this sort of power saver feature?
don't hate Sense 5 but I like the intended functionality of AOSP

AOSP ! = GPe
Based on the battery stats thread, it's really a tossup. I think most get better battery from Sense, but I don't think it's that different.

Ok so i Bought the NNexus 4 from the Google deal. I want to give this phone to my sister who just uses her phone to text no data (on her old BB 9780). I'mcurrently on CM 4.1.2. The battery life is mediocre. Which rom has the best battery life. She has no need for any fancy trics here or there. Would stock work well?

I'd go with something more lightweight. If you really just want to give her the best battery life possible, though, just pick a rom with voltage tuning enabled, undervolt it, and underclock it. If all she does is text, you can probably underclock by 30% or more, and she won't know the difference.
I imagine some have researched this well enough, many seem to feel Sense based roms offer the best battery life on the M7. Not too many support the GPE roms for battery life.
Is this the main consensus, it's better to go for a Sense based rom when it comes to prolonging battery life?
I have found in general KK/Sense marginally out perform offical Lollipop roms, particularly GPE. I can appreciate ported roms, ie Sense 7 will probably not be so good for battery life. AOSP not so good as they are not based off official HTC releases.
I am away camping for a few weeks, with little opportunity to charge the phone apart from in the car. Anything that can give me an improvement on battery life will be a help.
I'll be happy with JB, KK or Lollipop.
Over the time, my stock HTC One has become laggy and bettery life has been pretty bad. (I am on stock 5.0.2)
I, now, am looking to root my One and want a stable, butter smooth and battery efficient Sense 7 ROM. I came across many Sense 7 ROMs in development section - InsertCoin, ViperOne, SDv6, Artmod and others. Can someone suggest which one is the best in terms of the parameters I am looking for?
Thanks
I can only recommend Insertcoin, as I haven't tried the others.
If you combine this with the elementalX kernel you can achieve a pretty nice battery life.
Install X-posed and greenify for an even better battery
From all the roms I have flashed, I have found Sense 7 roms offer the worst for battery life. Kitkat Sense 6 roms seem to be the best for performance and battery life, but then that's just my experience. Each to their own.
Best Battery Live ever
try
1) [ROM] Android Revolution HD 92.0 with
2) Elementrix Kernel
3) Greenefy and
4) Xposed and the MobleActiveRadioFix (to fix Lollipop Bug)
5) (optional) if you like, change launcher to launcher ex - sense is very battery intensiv

what rom do you use ?
As simple as the name states.
Just looking for which rom is stable, fast, and has long battery life.
By battey life, I mean SOT, not overall usage, since I'm using the phone mainly for Vainglory (Droid Turbo is my main driver, with a Note2 & M7 as extras for whatever I need them for (Currently use M7 for slickdeals & backup phone since I'm on T-Mobile, and the Note 2 was my main Vainglory phone, but also use it for Kik & 2nd Facebook, but would like to have the M8 be my Vainglory phone as it is a bit faster, and I'm too lazy to root the Note and install a custom rom on it. I hate Samsung. lol)
So yeah, I need to know which rom is easy on the battery enough for me to get a few hours of SOT with Vainglory

The battery life will be about the same on every Rom when you are pushing its cpus to the max, which is what Vainglory does. It's a great game, and all but it is a battery hog no matter the Rom you use. Just find a Rom you're comfortable with and use that! hope that helps you!
Guys,
Just received my tablet and I am thinking about immediately swapping the stock ROM for a custom ROM but I am wondering what is the battery life comparison. I have seen benchmark comparisons which look ok (i..e slightly faster via custom ROM) but I have not seem battery life comparisons.
Specifically, because this is more a casual use tablet, I am more interested is how long the device will last when its not used, rather than on-screen time with stock versus custom, but any advise as to what is the best option. So, has anyone done battery comparisons with the various ROM's available?
Thanks
Jerome

Hey Jerome! I'm running slim ROM and the battery is amazing! It's way better than stock because all of the amzon crap is gone so its not draining the battery.
I'm a casual user on this too and only really use it in the evenings for light web browsing and a few games. The battery easily lasts me three or four days before I have to plug it again.
When the screens off and its in idle it only drains about 1% every five hours! I thought it was broken at first because I'm so used to my phones battery draining.
I don't use any power saver apps or anything. I originally had greenify,wakelock detector and better battery stats ready in case of drainage when the screen was off but deleted all of them as they were uneeded!
I'd def go custom rom! Really recommend slimrom its great!
Cm12 is great too and the battery was good on that, its just better for me on slim!
Sorry if this was a well long answer!
