Hello, I am currently using MIUI but it sucks for battery life. I want to flash a stable rom with long battery life, and nevr to forget about flashing (because I will sell my phone to a friend of mine very soon and he is noob in all of this things like roms). What would you recommend?

I had amazing battery life with Pinnacle. 24+ hr easily with medium-heavy usage (very subjective, but 100x better than MIUI, CM7)
I flashed serendipity 6.4 on my mother in laws phone in july and I have yet to have to do anything with it except the things she messes up, like losing the app drawer icon. I also ran the rom on my phone and it had great battery life.

Generally speaking native roms offer the best battery life over all (KH3, KI#, KJ#,KK#, etc). But like mentioned before very subjective. This thread will probably be closed due to the nature of it.
If you are giving it to a friend that is not into roms. Stock is your best bet. Don't want them to have to deal with the issues of a custom rom. Like drivers and app compatibility issues in AOSP roms like CM and roms like MIUI.

tilal's 4.4 OMNI rom seems to have the best battery in my opinion .... i wasnt going to go back to OMNI until it had more of its features but to be honest its fast smooth stable and battery lasts A LOT longer than any other rom i have been on
Stock ROM is best for battery.
Stock ROM debloated and then left alone
Keep in mind the display is the biggest consumer, then connectivity options, then only software. There its mostly Widgets and other things which need to constant update.
In my opinion,Hybrid rom(stock kernel) is the best rom i ever used..it provides good battery life too..

As surprising as this may sound the above is true. I seem to have equal battery life with Stock rom and Omni (except when 3G is enabled). 4.4 is so damn light. Keep in mind I am not a person who debloats. Have all sorts of apps syncing and background services running.
Which rom can give a better experience with battery life and performance? Resurrection Remix or Nexus Experience?

Nexus experience is AOSP based which typically have less power drains. Resurrection I believe is CM based which in my experience is a little heavy on battery useage but you get some nice extras. Really the best way to tell is to just try them. I've not used either of the ROMs, so I cannot vouch for them, this is just generalized information.

I am new to the N6 world and I am not happy with the battery performance getting around 3.5 SOT and max of 12 hrs of overall battery usage. I am so tempted to root, CM12.1 and Franco kernel. But I am hearing bad battery results with CM12.1. I know everyone has different way of usage but if you can share your experience it will be great. I have three pus email accounts one is exchange, twitter, instagram, Google+ (manual sync), screen brightness is 10%, no adaptive brightness, no ambent display, no location, i use Google now, rarely play games, dropbox, Google drive, one drive, turned off all Google sync except for contacts, calendar... etc.

You can squeeze another hour of SOT with a custom ROM and kernel. I usually get 4 to 4.5. Everyone's phone is unique but benzo kernel gives me very good battery life regardless of the ROM it is used with. It is based off hells core kernel which many people agree is among the best.

Thank you can you share the xda link to that kernel?

Good luck!
A custom ROM with settings with by Kernel Adiutor (or Synapse,...) *may* help. There are so many factors, including use (which you've touched on), areas of travel/use (and therefore reception), baseband version,...
Regardless, your willingness and patience to experiment with different kernels (recommend hellscore/benzoCore or blu_spark as starting points) and ROMs are very helpful!
Has anyone tried CM12.1 it seems like a very clean interface?

Try the M3 stock. I don't think you'll be disappointed. The battery is what it is, you can get some improvements however I think most of them exist in how the device deep sleeps. JDX 3.01 (rom) is in the thread. Good luck.

All custom kernels.can be tweaked for battery life. The choice.of kernel is pretty much irrelevant, unless you can't be bothered to learn the tweaks
Also, ROMs.have very little influence on battery life unless it's bloated and poorly coded. Although in.not saying CM is either of those things, typically cm ROMs have been poorer on battery life than their aosp cousins.

My N6 - stock 5.1.1 - Franco Kernel.
For battery life I am using apps with a black background when possible.
No G-mail but K-9 Mail.
No wallpaper 'No wallpaper app'.
WiFi interval changed to 200 with build.prop editor.
Flashed Black Google Now launcher
(Needs Google.app updates uninstalled).
Disabled not used g-apps.
Disabled not used services.
Actually today I am bit surprised of how well the battery behaved. I got 4 hrs SOT, 3 hrs of talk time, listing to music.
Here is what I did and I believe that pumped up my battery performance.
1. Switched network to 3G.
2. No WiFi.
3. Wiped cache from boot recovery.
I will keep an eye on it but if that's the case then I will just stay stock until M is out.

Yes agree, I noticed that too (switching to 2G).
Probably the 4G network is to weak for indoor use, and maybe bad signal causes more battery.
Hope you don' t mind that I add another point.
4. Restrict app background data of all apps. (Settings - Data usage - < per app setting > )
I just flashed Android M P3 and it looks promising regarding battery life and I am like the added features. Highly recommend to check it out.

Unfortunately my navigation app Sygic won't start in M P3. Needed to go back to 5.1.1
Hey guys just a quick question,
as the title says,
What's the best rom for battery life, smoothness and updates?
I'm on Ressurection remix right now,
But I interested on Pure nexus project too.
Which one is better?
Or are there any other roms to recommend that are better than those?
Thanks!

no such thing as best rom for battery life. battery life is determined by your use, your setup, your choice of apps inatalled, and your signal quality.
Pure Nexus for smoothness and updates. Battery life can be great on Pure Nexus depending on usage. I'm getting 6-7 hrs SOT with PN and ElementalX.
