you might wanna look more at a kernel that's is what makes the battery life better also reset battery stats in cwm recovery

I find stock roms have the best battery life. If you really want to push it, get a basic rooted kernel w/ clock speeds (semaphore), and underclock your phone to maybe 800mhz.

try using a stock rom and a good root (semaphore/galaxian) and use low light display and underclock the cpu

Thx guys, I'm gonna try that, (sorry to respond 1month later lol)

can you please explain more about underclock your phone to maybe 800mhz

I use simplicity with special configurations in the semaphore kernel:
- Underclocking to 800MHz
- Simple-IO
- batterysave Governor
- autobrightness to dark
- darker-Voodoo Color
I also switch off Network and Auto-Sync with help of widgetsoid (see market) when not in use.

Hey, sindalf, what version are you running, I was on 2.11 using fugu(I think) kernel v3189, and my battery is not very good.

any rom with removed bloatware such as CM7 and others

try gamerz rom that is brilliant for bat life and removed bloatware

Back in the day that I didn't used MIUI ROM's I used Darky's and that battery life was great! Also the ROM was blazing fast.
Last version I used from Darky's was 10.2 or something like that (V10 for sure). Had about 2 till 3 days battery life. With slightly less usage than normal. And i must tell you that when I flashed that ROM i jys had a new battery.

How to improve ridiculously low battery life?

I am on cm7.2RC and i love it so far. Its fast, smooth and works like a charm. But the only one thing i hate about it is that it has terrible battery life. Within 3-4 hours of complete charge my battery runs down to 20%. I could flash a different rom but i dont wanna do that because i'm loving this rc build, well besides the terrible battery life.
Please help.

That's a problem within Cm7. It cannot be fixed at the moment...

Try custom CM 7 from KANG is awesome the audio is fixed and battery life is as good as stock!

I've been using an app called Juice Defender and it has honestly (almost) doubled my battery life. Give it a try! Worst comes to the worst, you just delete it

All juice defender does is disable the wifi and 3g when not needed. I disable them manually from habit after use and because of that battery increase was 0.
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

you can do the same thing in tasker or even more as in juicedefender. Tasker is also cheaper.

Agreed, juicedefender will only disable wifi and 3g connections.
Do it manually, without the need to install other app, and save your battery... One day with wifi disabled you hardly will use more than 10% of your battery (without gaming, just music)

Juice defender no doubt disables wifi and cellular data and ofcorse you can do it manually but it has the option of disabling wireless connections when the screen is off which saves a little more battery life. Get the free version, coz i used the Ultimate one and besides more manual options nothing else is different.

JB rom without battery drain anyone?

I really love JB, but battery drain on every one i tested is unacceptable (i.e. 30% loss or more overnight). On gb with THE SAME modem - 2%.
In result i always go back to GB immidiately, even if I hate it.
The only good rom besides GB i've had was some old Slim ICS version... Was lasting long as GB.
So, does anyone can point me to the JB rom with no crazy battery drain?
I've even bought new original samsung battery (1650mah), but still with my usage phone lasts half day.

adjust cpu governors .... u have to try every ROM available.... at least one of the ROM will give better battery life.....

@up
it's not that. idle killing battery isn't governor related
well, MesoROM is great gb rom, but ffs, android 2.3 is so ugly and feels like an awkward beta version... damn

I am on Slimbean JB Beta 1, and when it is in standby ( without wifi or 3G ) the battery drain is very low, less than 1% in 6 hours.
But as for Slimbean or any other JB roms I tried, the battery drain very fast when I use the 3G.

i'll try mentioned above. slim bean based on 3.1 was one of the worse in terms of battery though
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

I'm on CM 10.1 and battery drain is acceptable (about 1.5 days) with quite heavy usage. But it's only possible with:
* network switched to 2G only most of a day
* Google backup and restore disabled (using TB only)
* location services switched off or at least with GPS disabled
* WiFi turned off when not at home (using lama to do automate it).
Try these if you do not need them on all the time and see if your battery lasts longer.

[Q] Battery-friendly ROM

Hi guys, maybe you read this question a lot of times...
In your opinion which is the best battery friendly ROM for our device atm? I don't really care about performance aspects because I'm not a gamer

I get +/- 1 day on stock JB (GPS always ON, data always On). Last time i tried CM (RC2) i didn't get 6h...

I'm currently getting a decent ammount of battery life with CM Nightly 20130613 + Idoak v6 kernel.
Also Stock ROM with Idoak kernel is good aswell. Just have my Governor set to Interactive and seems to do a pretty well job.

From what I've read/heard around. The CM RC version are alot more buggy and problematic than the Nightlies. I haven't tried the RCs myself tho the Nightly does feel pretty smooth and stable.

Which firmware?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium

ROM has little to nothing to do with battery life, aside from the obvious settings you can select to turn opn or off features. what does influence battery life is how you use the phone and in particular 3 key elements
1) Kernel - Stock kernel is pretty limited, using alternative kernels will allow different governor and scheduler options along with frequency and voltage control
2) Tweaks - many unsuspectable little things can change the way your phone drains, probably the best way to start is getting pimp my rom from the plauy store
3) Apps - You will need apps to help managing and scheduling when and how the phone drains. LBE security master or any other task manager will prevent unwanted app startings and others like juice defender or other battery saving programs help with which interfaces are on and when.
Also keep in mind that if your phone is new the battery in the first 3-4 days need to settle and will change drastically behaviour.
Hope this helps
In any case a catania sto telefono te lo fanno prima della terza ricarica quindi non mi starei a preoccupar troppo

Grazie XD
In this case which kernel and governor do you suggest me?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium

Stock rom, remove LG MLT and Google Backup Service and you should be good.
I can leave my phone for 2 days without worrying about charging it. However, with screen set to 50 or 100% brightness, the battery drains very fast.
Otherwise, keep your screen brigthness low and get a governor that lets you throttle the CPU. At 800 MHz,you should be fine. Also, dont use auto brightness, it will not help.

Thank you which firmware?

EuroOpen V20A if stock or CM, some nightly between RC2 and RC 3(Thats the last ones I tested that used to be good)

Could someone help on what r the steps for install custom ROMS and Wich one is the best for battery life I'm having very very huge battery problem. The battery it's long for about 3 hours tops and I need to keep charging always and also the overheat is extremely. I will appreciate ur help

Sorry but you should write a new topic for this problem... Anyway there are several guides in this section that revolve about how to install custom roms. Try looking there... However generally after installed a recovery you should do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) -> install zip from sd card -> choose zip from internal/external sd card -> [file directory] -> choose file -> yes

Im using iodak 6.0 and latest CM nightly builds. Battery is much better then on stock ROM and kernel.

I dont know if iodak improves battery life, but I do not think that battery improved with CM. It actually got worse for me,

XenonHD + iodak v06 has been very smooth and battery friendly. A day and a half of moderate use and I'm sitting at 18%

[Q] Optimus 2x battery kernel

Hello.
I'm looking for really good kernel for my phone. I've 2.6.39.4 kowalski-exp and battery life was horrible. I used my phone for 4h and now it's on 19%. Can someone tell me some really good kernel that supports Jelly bean and good battery life? Please help

Can you post your battery usage screen shot or if you have BBS installed please screenshot of BBS? That 4 hours phone usage that you are mentioning, is that 4 hours of voice call or 4 hours browsing? or what? If it is 4 hours with screen on with WIFI or 3G on all the time I think that is reasonable. I am using kowalski kernel and I have reasonable battery life.

I used wifi for about 1h. Maybe less, don't know. I played a game for maybe 2h. On original rom battery was way better, but ICS on Optimus 2x really sucks. So much lag, can't even open facebook in less than 10 sec.

if you play games 2h that is not horrible battery life...i recommend you latest tonyp build cm11 from 20. 01.2014 and latest penguss77 alpha 31...for me that is best combination ever...no such cm10.2, simply the best,forget about ICS and JB, kitkat is miles away better than them,in almost every segment, it has very low memory usage and good optimization...thats my opinion.bye
