Hey guys,
since I only use my Mini as a music player I am looking for a Rom with decent battery life. I ofc have tried the various CM based roms from Novafusion but even if I never turn the screen on they drain 3% battery life per hour, even though I only have 5% wakelocks (since I also use amplify).
Is there any Rom within the region of 1%-2%? I mean, it should be possible considering that I basically only have installed Poweramp and nothing else but CM just doesn't deliver that.
Everything from KK and up is fine, don't really want to got back to JB.
Thanks guys!
Have u tried virginity rom? Or lostvirginity

Without trying to be a smart arse have you thought about buying an mp3 player, or do you use the phone because of apps & enhancements etc.......

Is there any Music app out there that doesn't drain the whole battery in 3-5hrs? I've downclocked the phone to 456mhz when the screen if turned off but that still doesn't help.
So far I've tried Stock, Google Music and Poweramp but to no avail... Using Stock kernel w/ CM 7.2.
I'm open to all suggestions.

This is not normal. You have other, bigger problem then the player. When I listen music any music player and at the same time play games or browse with opera, my battery drain about 20-30% / 3-5hrs.

My battery's drain is as fast as the OP on stock ROM with PowerAMP or LG Musique

I will try it again tonight. Maybe I was wrong.
Apples1n try the Vadonka's 3.0 beta kernel! This is the far best kernel in terms of battery.
Now I use django's stock rom with gueste kernel, but the battery is much worse then cm7+etana.
I made a test. I listened music with stock player, and play with Wordz game (continues wifi using).
8% battery drain/30 minutes.
I have one years old stock battery.

if you take the time to let the phone do a few battery cicles, you will find out that you were wrong, in same conditions stock saves a lot more battery

The main problem by me where the dsp-settings.
when i used that, my battery drops 10/20% a hour.
now i use a Poweramp patch ( Poweramp pro for free)
search on google.
in my opinion it's the best music player with the best eqalizer
and the patch is a lot more saving battery's
when i use poweramp my battery drops 3/6 % an hour
so my advise is:
when you are rooted, google the poweramp patch and download it !

Did it just start doing this? I actually noticed this happen from time to time on about every ROM I have tried, including CM10.2 which I am running now. But it's not all the time. Just a once or twice a month it seems. And it's usually happens when it hits about 40% or so, then drops like a rock to 15%. If it's happening a lot I would try booting back to stock or running a different ROM and see if it does it there as well. If so it could be an issue with the battery. You could also try installing BetterBatteryStats (it is free here on XDA) and see if that tells you anything.
thanks for the reply sir

Hi, I also get bad battery life when I'm on Cyanogenmod 10.1.3, but I got better battery life when I installed 10.2 although I also installed less apps. Have you checked BetterBatteryStats XDA edition yet? It tells you information about kernel wakelocks that could be draining your battery life and you may be able to use this info to fix problems in your phone to improve battery life. And of course when the battery meter reports 20-30% percent it will drop like a rock by 10% (I also experienced this in the Stock ROM from 4.0.4 and 4.1.2)

I've haven't tried any other custom roms beside CM 10.1.3 stable: no bloatware, better than stock battery life, and tons of customization. I wouldn't want to try anything else.
Update#1: I've been experiencing frequent reboots through out the day. Seems to happen randomly or before and after being plug in to charge.
Update#2: Too many crashes/reboots on the CM10.1.3 stable. I couldn't take it anymore so I flash CM10.2..latest nightly. Amazing! No reboots, far stable than 10.1. Gonna stick with 10.2 for a week or two then try custom roms as ProBam and Carbon.
Update#3: So 10.2 does crash and restarts. It will happen while it is plugged in "Charging". GAPPS would crash i noticed. wth
HoloBlur, Carbon, or CyanogenMod hands down.

4.2 ROMs (especially AOKP): +++battery, -stability.
4.3 ROMs (LiquidSmooth 2.10, Carbon): -battery, +stability.
There is no golden middle choice. However, 4.3 roms provide much more features and the battery life is compared to stock (but still worse), so, not a bad choice to try.
Tried all everything you guys have said and I've come to the conclusion that either my battery is defective or this phone just sucks when it comes to battery life regardless or ROM or kernel. Thanks anyways

What kind of Battery life are you getting? I get anywhere from 6-8 hours with heavy use to 16 hours with light use... Stock battery btw
One time I was playing gangstar Vegas on medium settings with lowest brightness for like 30min and the battery went all the way down to 25%. I started out with 100%. Also even on standby the battery goes down like 15% with WiFi and everything off and airplane mode on. I just don't get it. It pisses me off. The battery lasts me like let's say 8hrs with VERY VERY low usage. Like I'm talking like only maybe 25-50min screen time at like 25 percent brightness.

Sounds like you need the MAXX battery mod. My battery will last in excess of 30 hours on one charge. The battery isn't that cheap, but imo, it was totally worth it.

Best Rom
in my opinion, holoblur 0.9 tuned edition or x 0.9 Pure performance edition, are the most stable and less battery consumption, the other roms left out of the ADH standard features like HDMI mirror. The other functions that handle the other ROMS are esthetic and user support that we like to be playing with our phones giving better appearance.
Hey guys. So went back to stock 4.1.1 and its been great. I'm using the stock kernel. I'll get the maxx battery soon or on black Friday but overall in terms of battery life, stock has it.

So you're not running rocking the "HoloBlur-X ROM PurePerformance™ Edition" anymore?
There is no best ROM/Kernel, try them all and see which "best" suits you.

I haven't seen any notable difference in battery life on any 4.3 or 4.4 rom. Surfing the web over wifi and brightness set manually to medium i lost about 12-13% charge in 30 minutes.
Higher battery drain can be a placebo effect too. You installed a new rom and expect at least as good battery life as on stock, let's say. Then on your new rom you keep eye on the battery, waking your phone more often and checking the battery status and stats, thus draining the battery little more overall. I won't tell that's the case right now, it's just one possible reason people see their batteries dying sooner. Now i'm currently on fresh CM 10.1 (build 1117) and will find out if there is any difference in battery life compared to CM 11.

on cm11 05\03 with pegasusq + sioplus, one day with medium usage (3g activated when needed and some vg)
Well CM 10.1 doesn't give me more battery life than kitkat. With my usage pattern and settings it's draining about 26% per hour.

So I have flashed from SOKP to CM11 and am finding that Android OS takes up more then 40% of my battery usage... Batterylife is not nearly as good as the stock ROM on the Z1 where Android OS doesn't take up that much.. + I can't get LTE on this ROM in places where I had it on stock, anything I can do about the batterylife and LTE ?? Am really annoyed about the performance
I have some picture proof for you..
Edit: two more similar screens.. One from the SOKP ROM and the other the same CM11 like the previous screen... Its better then SOKP, but still I'm a bit disappointed
Last edit - this is with mobile data off at all times and WiFi on only for the last two or so hours in both cases... :/ CM11 is significantly better, but still nowhere near stock
Do you have any stock CM like ROMs that have at least on-pair battery life performance like stock ?

If you're running utorrent all the time then what do you expect?
Screen on time matters a lot
Issues with custom roms should be reported in their respective threads. There are at least a few CM11 roms for the Z1 and each one will be different.
Try better battery stats app to see what's really chewing your battery.
That's just a coincidence in the screenshots and Utorrent would show up with more % if I left in on all the tims.
