Since I rooted I've been getting horrid battery life. I used my phone for 10 minutes today texting and the battery life's consumed 7%. This is not good.
Check in your sync to make sure your calendar or contacts ect. aren't stuck trying to sync. This happened to me, and phone was dying in a matter of a few hours.
Mine is like that too I was thinking about switching to Another since I hear that Rom gets better battery life.
There are several existing battery threads. You should ask questions in there.
Hardly used my phone for 40 minutes today and down to half battery life. Can't somebody throw me a bone here?
You could try flashing one of the undervolted kernels from IntersectR or Diet. I noticed it helped a fair bit on the Cyanogen rom. Another option could be to switch to the Enom 1.8.1 rom. I'm currently running the Enom rom with IntersectR hybrid kernel and get fairly good battery life.
I had this too, flash any other kernel and it seems to fix itself. Intersects is a good call.

Same here, man
I flashed this kernel:
OC/UV kernel + HTC_Camera Addon for 1.8.1
and this rom:
TheOfficial_Nexus1_v1.8.1_update.zip
from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614427
Is that the kernel that's being praised for having good battery life?

I'm running this combo, and I get 10x better battery life than on Cyanogen's!
Good to hear. Ill report back with my findings after a few days useage!
I was having battery troubles, but I just charged my phone fully then wiped the battery stats in recovery and have had great improvement.
Is there such thing as a desire ROM that has good battery life for the N1?
sorry, Cyano506 has great battery live... you must be doing something wrong..
yeah I must of installed a cyanogen from a different person...
....hey--wait a minute...
Battery CM 506
..this is not too bad for 506...
Thats what I am using now with the addition of juice defender free which gave me a small but noticeable boost in battery life. These things together gave me the juice to make it through the day without scrimping on my usage, before I had to either scrimp or charge during the day to make it.

well damn. I am currently looking for a new kernel. What are u running? I have a kernel from late January. From what I hear there are several good ones out there with better battery life. I am running 5.0.6 also
I don't understand. Look:
I've hardly even used it :S
since I posted that picture I haven't touched my phone, and here's the difference:
Hello guys. I would like to hear some suggestions regarding this. So far I've tried CM7 and emanoN, but both of them drain like hell (specially CM7). Please avoid usual recomendations (turn off data, bluetooth, wireless and all those basic tips).
If there's an app, script or tweak that helps, please share it with me! My priority is battery life, above everything else.
Hope to get some replies! Thanks in advance
Skipping all the basic tips, I suggest you use a pure source-kind of rom. Something like the MOre rom or Pure CM7 by mebitek or kittenlinux, another one is GingerMod. Battery lives one those roms are so far one of the most cheered for. CM9 Beta 7 also had incredible battery life, although the link is probably gone already as mirroring is not allowed by Maclaw. As for the scripts, some mini users find these annoying and just a piece of cr*p, but as for me, I really made sure that it wasn't just a placebo effect. SlaidyBoost v2.3 works well and am happy with the performance and battery life boost that comes with it.

Thanks for your comment! What about this one?
That one was originally made to improve battery life when you use wifi most of the time for browsing the net or such, but I can see that other tweaks have been added for an overall change, and based on the comments there, some users found their minis slow down a bit. Although I haven't tried it yet, it's best if you would simply flash the rom you chose to use, boot it up and set up the settings you want initially, then reboot to recovery, make a backup of that rom, then start experimenting with various scripts found here in XDA that is compatible with our mini. If you don't like the results, then simply restore the backup you made earlier. I'll try that script you told me about if I have the time, though.

No, that ****ty script doesn't work.
I recommend you the stock ROM if you want battery life.
Stock samsung rom has the best battery life. But, on official CM7 with 604MHz for max, 122MHz for min and ondemand cpu governor, i'm having good battery life, can't complain at all. Haven't tried stock rom for ages, maybe my current setup is even better

Thanks man, but I don't think CM7 is the best option when looking for long battery life. I'm going to try de stock based ones and decide if any of them if better than the actual stock rom. Andro-ID, emanoN and GingerMod are apparently the most popular ones. Regarding the others, MORe is discontinued, so I wouldn't go for it, same as the one from kittenlinux. I'll give CyanMobile and mebitek's a try too! Trying GingerMod right now.
CM7.2 is draining battery fast because at default it's using Lil'GV2 governor which is veery agressive regarding CPU frequency! When you set it to ondemand it's much better. It costs you nothing to try it out if you haven't, stock rom is just too ugly and slowish when not rebooted regulary

Installed GingerMod (smartassV2 governor) and overnight battery dropped 35%. That is definitely not normal, and happened with the other ROMs too! Can anyone help me identify the problem?
Edit: BTW, the phone is two weeks old, and when I first bought it I didn't experience this huge drain.

TBH stock rom didn't work for me well especially regarding battery life. CM 7.2 official 710MHz/245MHz ONDEMAND battery lasts and lasts and phone is faster. Couldn't ask for more considering mini is entry level android phone for some time :good:

why dont u recallibrate battery after flashing ROMs:
1. Use app battery callibration from store, the developper is Nema i think.
Thanks, but I do that regularly, and as far as I'm concerned that doesn't improve battery life, just the accuracy of the % shown.
Chocobread with antutu battery saver is amazing I don't charge my phone one and a half day and still the battery is at 20 I love this life ... battery life.

I think stock official CM 7.2 ROM does not contain the kernel. Can anybody please confirm?
On the pc, most of power management is by the kernel. Guess here too, we should look at kernel rather than the rom.?
I may be wrong though.
So, OP, which ROM did you settle for?

Still trying them. I'd say Andro-ID is the best until now! Unfortunately it doesn't support many languages, including mine (spanish).
Chaurigol and wtfshouldidonow, I saw you commented about my project. My project was created specially to achieve a good-battery life. I cannot guarantee that your phone will have great battery life, but you can give a try. Also, you can try my mod with Adrenaline Engine. If you want to try my mod, try to use my edited Adrenaline Engine (which will work with my battery mod):

My phone (which is now bricked from suspicious reasons) had a great battery life, about 2-4 days.
I made this thread so that other users can discuss which is the best rom for G901F in terms of battery life.
It will save users the hassle of installing roms and then testing them for weeks to find out which is best.
So let the discussion begin!
Cynogenmod
I installed cynogenmod 12.1 where the battery life was not great, however then went back to cynogenmod 12 and battery life was much better. However after using the rom for a couple of months i have seen a steep decline in battery life even when phone is sleeping.
What is other users opinions on other roms?

Did you recalibrate the battery after updating to 12.1?
I use Simple GX Rom 1.4.1 with Kernel.
Battery life is very good. Nearly 0%/h in deep sleep.1-2% over night (9h)
I tried Nova 1.3 with stock kernel. Batterylife was a little bit lower than SimpleGX.
About 0,7%/h in deep sleep.
With Stock BOH4 Rom (Tmobile) i have lost 15-20% over night
I've been searching for the past couple of days for the best kernel to flash to my phone. I'm looking for performance of course but also battery life. Having my phone last all day if possible with regular use. Maybe that's impossible, if so than just let me know. The battery life that comes with the CM 12.1 is great but it seems like it's only great if the phone is off. Very little battery consumption in that respect but i've noticed when i turn on my screen and do what i need to battery drops pretty quickly. If it's not as simple as just suggesting which kernel is the best to flash onto your phone. Can someone please tell me what i should be looking for specifically when it comes to picking a kernel?

Temaseks CM 12.1 seems pretty good in battery life, CM Remix is close to it under power save... And believe it or not on power save you still have some performance, as in. Its still snappy to opening apps and whatnot. I personally turn it on around 30% and by that time I only use internet.
@ffolkes is working in his Plasma Kernel he has TMo variant of his kernel and is continuing to improve it. Its located under the sprint forum

Virginity v14 is the best rom for gt i8190

Only problem with Stock Roms (Virginity v14, Project Noble, Ronin) is that they all have this unpredictable Snapchat bug. Quite often Snapchat (both pictures and videos) zoom in like 50% which makes the text often not visible. This is the main reason I stopped using these ROM's.
Virginity V14 also drops 10-30% battery overnight when device is turned off.
My answer to the best s3 mini ROM (i8190) is the following: (not in any particular order)
Omni 5.1.1 (20160125)
Snapchat video's are green. But I don't use this often, so no problem to me.
Resurrection Remix 6.0 (20170305)
Both have great battery life, great performance and offer great features since its LP and MM. Don't assume these ROM's are worse than STOCK because they are 5.1 and 6.0, these are part of THE BEST ROM'S I've come across since years.

Earlier Omni 5.1.1 releases have insane battery consumption in my opinion. Right now I'm using Omni 4.4.4 (20151230) and it's the best one I ever used. Great battery life & awesome performance.
Also I've installed FB Lite and Messenger Lite instead of the traditional ones. These apps BARELY use any RAM. It's like 5-10 MB when it's running, compared to 80mb with most recent Messenger. Big recommendation!

first of all thank you for your recommendation, and yeah I have used omni 4.4.4 (omni gamer version) for a while. It was perfect kitkat rom that I have ever used but I want to use lollipop from now on. Isn't there any lollipop rom which have stabilility and long life battery?

Any ROM with a newer Android version than KitKat is basically getting too heavy for this old device, though it's nice to have
To answer your question, I'd recommend Resurrection Remix 6.0 (20170305) over Omni LP. I haven't used that ROM with FB and Messenger Lite, but I have no doubt it will be even better!

You are right and I really thank you for your advice. I am using omni 5.1.1 now, it is the most stable lollipop rom that I have ever seen but its battery performance is bad. Therefore I will try rr 6.0. But as I know rr is not smooth on our device because of customization. Is this version smooth?

Very!
I always thought of RR the same until I started using it. Ofcourse you shouldn't tweak every option you can find. The only thing I change on every ROM is the battery icon...
The phone lagged very rarely as i remember, but that's probably because there were 5 apps running in the background. Clearing your recents every now and then is probably the best way to keep your phone running smoothly.

then, my the last question is about battery life :laugh: how its battery life? for example I experience a terrible battery consumption in omni 5.1.1. I charged to phone %100 and then I sleep for 7-8 hours. When I wake up I saw it consumed almost %30-%35 of battery. Sometimes it consumes more. Do you have any idea about its battery life?

It's awesome man
For shear performance i'd have to put forward Omni LP with Fkernel with OC and Nova Thor settings. Unfortunately Fkernel takes some configuring (init.d script) to get Nova thor settings to work. I believe Nova Thor settings was removed from latest version. I never quite got the stability with this setup. As for Omni LP and battery issues you must boot in twp and with battery at 100% delete the batterystats.bin. This made all the difference.

Somehow I have always had that issue with all the Nougat 7.1.2 (LineageOS 14.1) that I have tried, even with phone completely turned off it drained so fast!!! For me battery life was OK with Marshmallow 6.0.1 so I keep going back to that one. For my not so fancy needs and stability, I prefer either Resurrection Remix 20170531 or LineageOS 13.0 20170328 stable for now. Also current/latest Nougat 7.1.2 RR 20171220 and LineageOS 20171215 seem to have issues (like not booting) so you'd have to wait for newer versions of those if you want to try. I use a black background and set timeout of screen to 30 sec. instead of 1 min. default.
