Rom with the best battery life

I don't know If this thread has already been created if so please direct me to that thread.
So I used to think CM6 had the best battery life so I flashed 6.1.0 but not much battery life change so im starting to think that maybe it was actually cm 6.0.0 that had best battery life but im unable to find it so I can test it. So im here asking you all what Rom has brought you the best battery life to your cdma hero no matter if its 2.2 or 2.3
CM + AOSP = DABIZZNIZ

I would like to know what's your measure of "best" battery life?

try using aosp - jaybob's rom, best rom with battery life, used it pretty heavily and got 15 hours

My measure of best battery life is not losing 10% of my batery life doing nothing. I remember when my battery would be be at 40% I go to sleep wake up and its about 30%, now its dead by the time I wake up

don't need to flash the kernel since it's already in the rom. Just do a full wipe and bam ! I'm actually trying the latest one (june-08) but the june 4 version gave me that 15 hour

personally i have found that the rom you choose itself doesnt really matter, its more about your personal usage, i.e what apps u have running, cpu settings, etc. i usually get around 15-20 hours battery life with pretty heavy mp3 use, lots of texting, and about two hours or so actually on the phone. but i make sure i leave data/wifi/gps etc. off unless i need it. also, its a good idea to check and stop apps that automatically load with the phone that you dont need. imho the only roms that seem to drain the battery quicker are the sense based ones, at least from my own experience.

I was thinking about starting a new thread about this, but you are explaining EXACTLY what I am going through. I wake up today (after leaving my phone charging at night) and turn on my phone, and first thing I see is an 80% battery (this is a normal occurance). After literally doing NOTHING on it all day (except for a 30 minute call) it turns off by itself at 20%.... after 8 hours. So while I got 2 hours better than you, keep in mind that I did virtually nothing. What is worse about it is i'm supposedly using the "best rom" for battery life (AOSP 2.2. + battery tweak).
I've wiped battery stats (after reading the correct way to do it) and checked the health of my batter (reads as "good") and i'm still clueless. I'm wondering if I should even waste my money on a battery and hope that's it? I've only had the phone exactly a year and about a week so I'de be disappointed to know the battery lasts this short. I remember being on another froyo ROM (with the battery tweak) using it more than I am now going to bed anywhere between 30 and 50% which is about where it's at at lunch time now! I can't believe that i'm actually ok with the performance of my hero, it's just the battery that's killing me now !

And I plan on staying away from the GB ROMS until they get the GPS issue resolved. Let's just say that I was in Colorado a couple of weeks ago and my phone failed when I need it to work.... flashed froyo almost immediately when I got back (that's another topic)

i believe you are correct, if you got it from the download section of rom manager, its the same one, ben using for a while now, no FCs no issues. smooth and pretty fast too

[Q] Good rom for battery?

I've been using Sabsa Prime and the battery seems to drain quickly and I'm wondering what rom would be good for battery?

I'm using Nik Project X 4.1 and I get average battery: I can get 3 days of battery with normal usage (Wifi + Music player). I used to get 5 days of battery easy with Nik Trinity Sensation XL but I'm looking for a ICS rom with good battery life.

it really depends on where you are, what socket do you have, etc. But what i know excactly - non sense roms are much better about battery than sense one's. i've used miui, now using jelly bean - it's really better

Lying to this people is not nice, there's no way you can make it lasts for 3 days even if you don't use it at all, no matter which rom you are using. Not to mention 5 days.
I'm not sure who're you trying to lie to, us or yourself?
Or maybe you have 2 batteries connected together...

Okay, maybe not really 3 days or 5 days full but almost near that. For ICS I could get 2 days + 12 more hours then it goes to zero. For Trinity XL GB rom, I could get 5 days (well 4 days + 8 hours) because of the deep sleep mode.

Read your posts, 3-5 days with normal usage (wifi+music player) and that's not deep sleep, but even if you leave it in deep sleep no way to pump it up to 5 days or 4d+8h.
Or maybe I'm wrong, but I've never seen a smartphone with battery life like yours. Maybe you should go to HTC and offer your services, cause you'll make them a top smartphone seller as the first smartphones manufacturer that makes them with 5-days battery.

god I'm lucky to get 15 hours with normal usage on ICS\JB.
The best ROM I've found for battery life was CM7. When I go on holiday I always roll back to it

I managed to get a whole week on Android Revolution. I cleaned up almost all default applications, set low screen brightness, used Nova as a launcher, turned off the glamorous animation effects and blocked all data transfer (except for an hour per day, when I turned WiFi on, checked my mailbox and read news feeds). This profile is not really convenient for everyday usage, but it is suitable when you travel.

After try so many roms, I think there are 2 roms -- stock and arhd4.
I am using arhd because battery usage is almost the same as stock rom but it is a bit faster (not oc). My normally usage, this 2.5 years old machine can take up to 36-40 hours.
From my captured battery usage picture.
Screen on: 2 hrs
Auto brightness
Wifi always on
3g: 4 hrs
Voice call: 30 mins

How can I get Beastmode, cause on Blackout thread I can only find some repository with lots of stuff that probably need compiling.

I get a decent days worth from Sabsa, I don't expect it to go on much longer than a day and I charge it every night, but I can leave data on to auto sync, and make/take a couple of calls etc and I get by OK.
I've been running it for a long time now, it's settled down and is functional.

[Q] Battery drain problem!

Hey!
I have a big battery drain problem (I think..).
I will attach the GSAM for you to see (It's 2 different times)
I'm using RHD 30.
Thanks!

Please?

5hours and 12minutes of screen on time is pretty good, in my opinion!! Where's the drain you're mentioning, oh and Clash of the Clans eats battery pretty quickly.
I'm on ARHD 13.3 and definitely can't get 5 hours of screen on time.
EDIT: if you want even more battery time, you may want to try a custom kernel such as ElementalX, bulletproof, team7

I'm using MaximusHD sense based rom and bulletproof kernel, battery life is stunning. So trying a custom kernel maybe will help, you don't have nothing to lose/

Wow did I read the screenshots correct? 5 hours screen on time and 13 hours since the previous charge even with the apps sucking that much power?

Question about battery life on custom roms.

Hey s3 mini users, i just want to ask a quick question about battery life. So recently i have tried many custom roms (CM11, CM12, vanirAOSP,Dmodv6 and alot more) but i have a problem with my battery life. Roms that are AOSP based like CM11 has horrible battery life (2h screen on time with 10% left). However if i used samsung stock rom based custom rom, the battery is a lot better, i get 3h+ screen on time with 20% left over. So my question is, is this normal for my phone to have bad battery life on AOSP roms?

sorry i missclicked. i get about 2,5-3,5h screen on time. depends on task what i do. if i read much in dark i sometimes get like 4h.
im just using a clean setup, maclaws CM12, with not much apps (i dont need much) & all is grennified which has the blue cloud. only whatsapp runs in background, no mods/tweaks.

Have you tried cm 11 before? If you have, is the battery life on cm 12 significantly better?

what, thats amazing battery life. I tried both cm 11 and cm 12 but my battery life just sucks. Theres no wakelocks draining battery but the only thing i noticed is that when i download stuff (play store or on internet) my cpu just clocks to max ghz (1ghz) and stays there until download is over. Is this normal or what? cause this is the only thing i can think of that could drain my battery. So confusion

[Q] HTC ONE M7 CM11 Bad Battery Drain & Very Hot

Gday guys,
My GF and I are both using M7 phones and I set up the last available CM11 snapshot on her phone last week.
Unfortunately, her M7 now has really bad battery drainage and gets very hot even during browsing, using Pinterest, ...
There's hardly anything installed on the phone- I only installed Pinterest, latest GAPPs package and Opera so far. I tried running Greenify, disabling Google background services like NOW (etc..) and played around with the governor- no difference. The power stats show that the display uses the most power, followed by google play services (nothing out of the ordinary imho).
After a normal day of using our phones, my phone is at ~65% (also using an AOSP Rom), hers ist at 10%. Seems to me that the CPU runs at full blast most of the time and doesn't go to sleep properly.
Might another Kernel be worth a try or is the CM11 snapshot known to be causing issues with the M7 here?
Thanks in advance.

Your suspicion sounds correct try a different kernel. If not maybe try and flash cm again or a different rom. As far as the temperature though don't let it get too hot you can damage the rear camera. Best of luck to ya

Yeah, especially because we only just got the "pink camera" fixed on that device :silly:
Any recommendations for a CM11 kernel? Kangaroo seems discontinued, not sure if ElementalX works with CM.
Thanks
