hey I've been looking around for the answer with no luck can anyone help.. which rom is currently easiest on the battery as in consumes the least amount of energy/resources.
thanks
Aaron,
For the most part, a lot of these roms are based off of the base version and then tweaked for optimal performance. While there are some that are feature laden (ie. loaded to the kills with tweaks and background processes) and some that are fairly basic (a few features, stripped down ROMs), battery usage all depends on how you setup your phone.
I've got the Pegasus series ROM on my touch diamond and it works fine (battery life still to be tested) and I haven't noticed a serious detriment to my battery life yet as there are tweaks in place to maximize power savings.
Even with the stock ROM (Bell in my case) battery life maximization has always been an issue.
Here are a few tips to maximize battery life (applies to pretty any rom, stock or not):
1. If you don't need that fancy 3D interface, kill it and go with the basic home screen.
2. Make sure to turn off your data connection when not in use (will go into an on-demand mode if you have anything that runs in the background to get updates once in a while). Make sure WiFi is shut off as well (serious battery drain) and the same goes for bluetooth when not in use.
3. Dim your screen to the point so that's still usable (brighter screen = more power usage).
4. Put your phone to sleep when it's in your pocket instead of waiting for the default time out (press and release the power button to sleep it, do the same to wake). It might only be a 30 second difference, but it adds up a bit.
5. Reduce the number of background running applications to essential ones (ie. e-mail is essential, MSN not so much). Kill any widgets that don't really need to be active (twitter and facebook ones are notorious for sucking up battery life).
That's all I can really offer for now, the more seasoned members can help you out on what ROM is more battery friendly. I've been lurking for a bit, it's time that I start contributing.
thanks alot for your advice, but perhaps offering further explanation may help and others who may consider providing a response..
I am running a Culkins rom and dual booting an Android rom. What I am looking for is a rom I could run on my phone that would not consume much resources or battery life in addition to the resource intensive Android rom.
Thanks again..
Okay, that helps a bit. The culkins rom isn't so bad when it comes to power management. Check out the diamontweaks app to help configure some options. He doesn't have a lot of running processes in the background (a few too many apps than anything else if you ask me).
My ROM (on PPCG) isn't bad at all. Lemme release an update soon.
thanks for the help both of you.. with respect to your post MrObvious I look forward to using your rom when its released do you know of any "skeleton" type roms where its just the bare minimum required to run that rom?
Hi people,
Can someone give me and opinion of the battery drain with a note 9 on pie?
I bought my Note 9 four days ago and updated to 9.0 pie right out of the box, I think that battery is still optimizing for usage but I find it very bad with battery life and SoT. I'm posting a screenshot, if you have some tips ?
I'm with exynos, 50% brightness display, exynos version, Bluetooth off

You answered your own question! Battery is still optimizing for usage! You have to give it 10 or so days before it battery gets better! Also turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, Sync, turn the screen off turn everything off lol messing with you 2/3 weeks mine took to settle down!
I'm having the same problem. Android System was waaaaay lower before. It's always at the top of the list now. :/

There's plenty that can be done, especially if you have the exynos version of the phone.
-Unlock bootloader and install Dr Ketan's rom, it is fantastic.
-Then apply endurance kernel.
-Use Magisk manager to apply module: Universal GMS Doze
-Use Mtweaks to apply a few kernel tweaks
I haven't gone this far just yet as I'd like to see how the phone goes without it for a few weeks but you can also install greenify or if you want to really get serious, greenify xposed module. Personally I find the battery life of the note9 to be fantastic but you must keep in mind that the screen is enormous and hi-resolution. Whenever you are using the screen, especially at a high brightness level the battery is going to drain - it can't run on good intentions.
Try turning down the brightness. If you are absolutely serious about battery life over everything else, you can disable auto-sync, remove the official facebook apps if you have them and replace them with faceslim and lite messenger and modify the notification settings.
Doing all of the above and only turning the phone on when you need to make a phone call or use navigation etc should net you an easy 4 days+ of useage but then again, you may as well have bought a $30 powerbank phone.
Tripping Knox hardly sounds like a good idea if I'm honest.
If your Android System is high then something in the background is wrong. You could try clearing cache then give the phone a couple days to settle
Battery life varies significantly with any phone and any version of Android.
Often we assume, wrongly in my opinion that a very large factor in battery life is the version of Android , hence the numerous posts on this forum who wish to or have gone back to Oreo, for reasons I consider delusional.
What apps you have on your phone and how often you use them are significant, playing games that use lots of cpu and gpu is going to impact battery life.
Web browser and YouTube rather less so.
I have experienced lower and higher screen on time and standby time with the same apps and version of Oreo, and Pie (both on beta and released)
I am on Exynos Note 9
Bought and used since release date Aug 24 2018, haven't used so called battery life friendly charging (20% to 80% etc)
Can run battery down to 0% on occasion and charge to 100% using fast charge, often left on charge overnight.
Yes there are some optimisation that may help and I use a few, I couldn't tell how much they help though as just varying usage is a greater factor in my opinion
Battery performance from yesterday
18.5 hours total usage with 9.25 hours screen on time
Hello community
Im wondering if there is a proper rom out there for my Global Mi9 that combines features (fingerprint functionality - google Pay) and battery life since I noticed 2 strange things.
1. Android system comes first in battery consumption,
2. I need to set the phone to LTE-WCDMA everytime I reboot
3. After a while, and sometimes after I charge, I notice higher battery consumption for no reason, and the CPUs Idle to 1000 mhz instead of the ~500. Anyone knows why?
Since I am unable to solve the above, I am getting a moderate battery life on my Mi9 10.2.2.26 EU build. Can you please suggest me any ROM alternatives with pros and cons?
Really thanks in advance.
Hello guys,
i recently upgraded note 8 battery and the battery life hasnt changed at all. I think i need to reset cycle counter as it says its 1436 and the battery doesnt charge to full voltage (max is 4.15). Im trying to delete/edit the texts in sys/class/power_supply/battery but i cant do anything. Ive tried with adb shell ( i am rooted on stock rom but i get operation not permited) and via in built terminal (same story) and lastly with a root browser/text editor and same story. The battery is new tested capacity is 3281 mah but on this phone is registered 2200. I totally need help
I've had the same experience, my battery life is the same after replacing the battery. My thoughts are that it's just the outdated OS not performing correctly with apps intended for newer OS.
The reported capacity doesn't effect the power consumption of the device.
Make sure the device has been compromised by a rootkit. Reflash if needed.
Turn off all power management if any.
Find the the battery hogs and deal with them on a case by case basis.
Karma Firewall's logging feature can be helpful in spotting some. Galaxy Battery Tracker is useful.
Cloud apps are prime suspects. If FB, WhatsApp etc are on the phone... time to take out the trash.
I just bought this phone, one thing i dont know why because battery's using time is short, only 5 hours. I want to know that everyone the same as me?
You either have a n app eating thru your battery or a faulty battery.
Check in Settings/Battery. If nothing special pops out there, you might want to try a factory reset and see if that still happens.
In the past I also used GSam to get more info on battery usage.

Thanks buddy, what rom are using in phone and the time on screen'battery
Having the same issue with the same model.

Looking at the OnePlus 10 pro on paper, it has everything you would possibly need to achieve incredible screen on times. The idea behind this besides some healthy competition is to whittle out the bugs and battery draining apps and habits.... in...

Keep all social apps insta FB and WhatsApp with restrictions of background and foreground activity and keep auto launch off . That's make your battery long lasting. Keep optimization on in battery settings.
U can check other apps which are battery hungry and keep activity restricted.
Do not use always on display function.

As far as I know I am the current leader of the SOT thread with 12.5 hours SOT and 23% battery left, unfortunately I literally didn't even try to get it at first and was in 120hz 1440p (no auto switch) with no battery saver at all lol. If you want a lot of SOT you can cheese it by streaming and doing nothing else thanks to the Snapdragon 8's efficiency with video

That would be great. Do you have the screenshots you would need to register your sot?
As per the requirements?
If so I'll be happy to add your time
If you're experiencing rapid battery drainage with your OnePlus 10 Pro, there are a few steps that you can take to solve this issue.
First and foremost, it is important for you to understand why the battery drains quickly. There are several factors that may contribute to this problem, such as the presence of background apps running in the background without your knowledge and an inefficient power management system.
To address the first factor, reducing or disabling any applications running in the background can help improve battery performance significantly. To do so: go into Settings > App Manager > Running Apps, where you can see which apps are currently active on your device. You should close or uninstall any unnecessary apps as they consume energy even when not actively used by you.
For further improvement of your device’s power efficiency, it also helps to recalibrate its internal Power Management System (PMS). This process involves resetting how much power is allocated for different tasks on your OnePlus 10 Pro allowing it to run more efficiently and effectively utilize whatever charge remains in its unit’s battery pack while still providing optimal performance. It is recommended that this procedure be done at least once per month or after factory resets – but no more than three times per month – as excessive PMS calibrations will only lead to shorter lifespan of both software and hardware components over time instead of better performance gains and improved efficiency levels.
Finally if these two solutions fail then eventually replacing/repairing parts inside phone such as motherboard may prove beneficial for fixing Oneplus 10 pro Battery Drain Fast issue permanently however seeking professional help from authorized service centers would be necessary before attempting similar DIY repairs within home due safety related issues involved with components which are sensitive enough handle with proper care & expertise .
Some tips I've shared over the years.
Change 5G to 4G
Remove tiktok it is 100% dodgy Chinese spyware.
Remove Facebook use web based
Remove Facebook messenger use web based
Remove Twitter use web based
Remove any ad based apps pay for the pro version
Turn off gestures like lift to wake
Change from QHD to FHD (No difference)
Allow auto brightness
Turn off WiFi overnight
Turn all updates to manual not auto (play store)
Remove any so you don't use
Change back up to once a month (WhatsApp)
Turn off location history (Google)
Use titanium to remove any system apps you don't need
Don't allow anonymous usage statistics for any app ever.
Don't allow tracking cookies on any website
Use adaway (root needed)
Don't open web pages in Google app (I use Samsung browser)
Don't use xposed.
If you game you will not get high SOT scores, period.
Don't bother with battery saving apps or monitoring apps.
Streamline your apps, if you don't use it, remove it.
Don't allow WiFi scanning (as in letting other apps use it when it's not on)
Never allow personalised ads.
Never allow notifications from websites
Always decline cookies unless your absolutely have to allow some tracking (common sense prevails here)
Optimise as many apps as possible unless it affects performance.
Don't allow apps to remain open in the notification area.
Change your launcher, my preferred launcher is lawn chair and this did actually burn up some battery when compared to the OnePlus launcher.
Don't use live widgets (yes they look cool, but they annihilate your battery)
Live wallpaper, again very cool, but battery burners.
Again! Don't charge overnight, make a note of your percentage then see what it is in the morning, you shouldn't be losing more than 5% really, if you've done well then it'll be reflected here, the good SOT results will follow.
Turn off live read outs of network speed, RAM usage in the status bar.
Turn off NFC unless in use.
Leave location on in quick settings.
Don't overcharge your phone, IE: overnight
Don't allow your phone to fully deplete the battery.
Whatever anyone says, this does 100% damage batteries, there is no argument here and I won't entertain anyone who says otherwise, Ive seen through real life tests what this results in, bloated, inefficient, possibly dangerous lithium batteries.
Keep your phone out the sun.
Keep it out of extreme cold.
Keep your device clean dust free.
Snapchat, Viber, house party, apps like that tends to use more battery as they don't have great dormancy periods.
Apps like speed test by Ookla tend to have location tracking, similarly they tend to turn themselves on and off when they feel like it, my advice, install test and uninstall.
Allow a couple of battery cycles between tweaking sets, to give you an idea of how much of a difference you've made.
Use BBS to see what is being used, once you've removed problems, remove BBS.
I've just written this from the top of my head so o probably missed some things, the general idea is to keep your device clean and fresh, remove files you don't need any more.
Keep an eye on apps that misbehave or aren't wanted, index your folders so they aren't a mess.
The more good things you do means the more potentially bad apps you can have on your phone, eg if you really need Facebook, you could keep it so long as you clean up other areas of your phone.
Good luck.
When it comes to battery optimization for the OnePlus 10 Pro, version 2213, I have a few suggestions that might help you maximize your device's battery life.
Firstly, it's important to note that OnePlus devices generally come with a variety of built-in battery optimization features. To begin, make sure you have enabled the battery optimization settings on your device. You can usually find these settings in the device's "Battery" or "Power" section within the settings menu.
Additionally, I recommend keeping your device's operating system up to date. Manufacturers often release software updates that include battery optimizations and improvements. So, regularly check for updates and install them as they become available.
Another effective approach to conserving battery life is by managing your apps and their power consumption. Identify any apps that are known to drain battery excessively and either limit their usage or consider uninstalling them if they are not essential. You can find battery usage statistics in the device settings, usually under "Battery" or "Power."
Furthermore, adjusting the screen brightness and timeout settings to a level that suits your needs can significantly impact battery life. Lowering the brightness and reducing the screen timeout duration can help conserve power.
Lastly, keeping unnecessary features and connections turned off when not in use can make a difference. Features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS can consume additional power if left enabled unnecessarily.

Good post
Would you say the Oneplus 10 Pro is still a good phone for this year even? Very new?
