Battery drain was because of a bug in Google play services.
But after the update of play services as on 27 June I have noiced a decent increase in battery life.
go ahead and update :good:

Need Rom Suggestion WRT Power Consumption

Hi All, I've previously unlocked bootloader, flashed stock kitkat & rooted my XT1068 (Moto G 2014).
I'm really loving this while 5.0.2 was really lagging & was consuming lots of battery, it's good on kitkat.
But would love to try out any rom if you could suggest me some that could be less battery consumers than the official android releases, may be based on either 4.4.4 or 5.1.1 Have seen lots of rom threads over here but am unable to get the idea regarding battery life

Cm is good in perfrmnce and features and almost stable but battery life will be ok not that great

Best Rom?

Hi Guys,
My moto G 2014 lags quite a bit and the battery backup is horrible .. I'm on stock currently.
I'm new to rooting and stuff, so need suggestion as to which is the best (not fast, but just no lags .. battery is very imp) .. I'm not a gamer or anything, just normal whatsapp and photos, thats all.
Thanks

all rom are best. please choose rom according to your choice and like

OK so here is my opinion, (note it's My opinion)
Stock based : Radium Redefined v1.2
Cm 12.1 : Fusion LP or Orion
Cm 13 : Vatsals Optimised Cm 13 Builds
AOSP 5.1.1 : Minimal Os
AOSP 6.0 : haven't tried any type yet.
I've used all with just Whatsapp, Uc Browser, 2 games and a couple of music apps.
All the above give me more than 5 hrs of SoT with little gaming that is.

For me cm13 official

I try :
Cm 12.1 : works well but some bug time to time
Cm 13 : I love marshmallow but big big problem with sim network provider, always lost connection and poor battery
SlimSaber 5.1.1 : the best for me.
I really waiting good connection and battery life with marshmallow.....

I use stock kitkat 4.4.4, rooted+xposed for some modules(greenify, amplify...), unistalled some system apps that I dont use. I downgraded from Minimal OS because of battery backup and reliability. Now I am getting AT LEAST five hours SOT with heavy usage, a lot of youtube, whatsapp and FB. No force closes unless you unistal something you need for the phone to work properly but you can fix it with a Nandroidbackup.
However, if you mind having the look of lollipop I definitely recommend Minimal OS as it is VERY VERY STABLE, it has the best battery backup on any lollipop rom I tried (at least 7 roms), I think i faced 3 reboots in 2 months since it was my daily driver other than that, rock solid.

Best roms for moto g 2nd gen (xt1068)
The following roms are the most stable roms i have ever used on my moto.
1. Blisspop. (with maximum customisation) BlissPop-v4.0.3-titan-OFFICIAL-20151031-1345
2.Cyanogenmod 12.1 (Minimum customisation) cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K5-titan
Try them, you will definitely love it.
Cheers

I'm using minimal OS and i have any single lag (on other rom's there are many as you said) also battery backup is very good. You have to try it!

THIS is what I'm using...
I've been using Nexus Experience 10.1 with Extended Kernel and am extremely happy with it. No bugs, very smooth, excellent battery life, and pulled a 29203 on AnTuTu Benchmark(Would post a screen shot but am not allowed).
YMMV, as they say...

I would suggest you Minimal OS 5.1.1 . It's very stable, no bugs what so ever. Integrated kernel is very battery friendly but you can have any kernel you want really (Halogen R14 is my choice) . RAM management is on top of what the device is capable of and it got everything you need in terms of customizing your device while keeping it clean and not overloaded like CyanogenMod.

Not that there is any "best rom" but here is my opinion:
6.0.1 -> Broken OS by ishubhamsingh
5.1.1 -> (1).SlimSaber by aayushya, (2).Minimal OS by vatsal
Stock -> definitely 6.0 over 5.0.1
I recommend SlimSaber as I am a huge fan of Slim, the roms are always very fast and light, which means good battery. If you want a pure AOSP experience, go for Minimal OS
As far as kernel goes, Decipher kernel is really great. The kernel that comes with broken os is also very good. Rest kernels have too many features which may end up slowing it down

5.1.1 definitely Resurrection Remix ROM (v5.5.9)

Good ROM for x 2013?

I rooted my unlocked the bootloader/rooted my phone back in April but I'm looking to try a ROM for the first time. I've been looking around but I wanted to see what people here are using.
Basically what I'm hoping for in the rom
Moto display (if possible)
xposed compatible
no major bugs
better battery life/stable

Stock KitKat it is.

I am currently using the Cyanogenmod 12.1 and it's running fine with no major bugs. It has moto display, I have successfully installed xposed but I have no use for it, also the battery life running the latest nightly is quite poor imo. Would recommend using it though.
here's the link to that : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-moto-x-t2995381

Custom Kernel to increase battery life with original or GPE firmware?

Hello,
I have 2 HTC M7 with slim rom 7.1.2. build.2.0 and GAPPS pico. One of them is S-OFF with GPE firmware (6.04.1700.19). Clean install via TWRP, no further apps installed, so far. Both phones lose about 1.5%/h battery in stand-by - thus more than twofold compared to stock firmware+rom, before.
Can anyone tell me, what are the reasons for this higher battery consumption? Forums on custom roms mostly give information that battery consumption will be improved with custom rom.
I think of installing a custom kernel to improve battery life. Where can I find a compatible kernel to my custom rom and different firmwares? Or would it be sufficient to install a kernel tweaking tool (eg. kernel toolkit) to adjust settings for the current kernel? In Slim Rom, kernel information is 3.4.113-g9776217([email protected]) (gcc version 4.9 20150123) prerelease).
Thank you very much.

There is only one custom kernel for N Roms and this one doesnt have any improvment for battery or kernel tweaks, there is no way to extend the battery life except for dont use gapps. You will get the best battery life with gpe rom and elementalx kernel, but this is android 5.1, but this is the only way to underclock the cpu/gpu with all adroid versions higher like 6.x undervolting allways caused system instability. If you want to have a bettter battery life with android 6.x or higher the only way is to use nanomod microg (or the new name of this magisk module "nanodroid") instead of gapps. It will replace everything what google services do for you with opensource programms, you will be able to use your google account as usuall and being able to use the play store but without the high battery drain gapps are causing. If you want to know more about this you can read everything here https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/tips-standby-time-t3661814

Thank you, I will try it. As I have seen this should still allow for using paid apps from play store if needed.
Though I don't understand why battery consumption with custom rom nougat is that higher than with stock rom lollipop. I also tried clean installing custom rom without any GAPPS, but battery drain in standby and with flight mode was still considerably higher (0.9%/h) than in stock rom incl. Google services and no flight mode (0.5%/h)?

Hm, now I have
- 1 M7 S-off, GPE firmware, Slim rom 7.1.2 build 2.0 + microG
- 1 M7 S-on, HTC firmware, Slim rom 7.1.2 build 2.0 + Gapps pico,
- 1 M7 S-on, HTC firmware, HTC stock rom.
So far, no further apps running, GPS, NFC and bluetooth deactivated. Hourly battery drain in stand-by is almost identical on phones with slim rom (1.5% per hour) - and more than twofold compared to stock rom (0.6% per hour). Since I have tried several custom roms before, I noticed that other Android M+N roms (lineage, AICP, xenon, tesla) all have battery drain comparable to slim rom.
Seems to me that there is no way to get low standby battery consumption with a custom rom Android M/N. Within a 16 hour day I loose about 15 percent battery more than with stock rom Android L only due to standby. Am I the only one with this issue (or the only one interested in this)?

If you have identical battery drain on both devices with slim rom (one with gapps one with microG) there is definitivly something wrong on your side. Every user i have ever read from using microG said the same about better battery (about 10% more at the end of a day compared to same rom with gapps). And for me it was the same, with aicp and gapps i had only 15% at the end of a day, with aicp and microG i had about 25% left.
