Best ROM that saves battery

As you all know with the Nougat update the battery life has become terrible for most of the users. So I'm making this thread so that we could list ROMs that still give that original battery life before the Nougat update. Both Marshmallow and Nougat ROMs are welcome. GO!

Already discussed here

Stock oos (beta also) and Franco kernel

My battery life with oos non beta was better with flash kernel instead of franco kernel, device also felt faster.
Im currently on LOS (Tugapower) and battery life is decent as well.
But from what i heard so far it seems that CM13 was best for battery, but i have no personal experience with that on OPO3T

OOS ROM + blu spark kernel

I have no problem with battery life. 3 days without charging, 6 hours sot and still juice left... Wouldn't call that terrible

Agreed.
I finally found a rom+kernel combo that works the best for me. FreedomOS-CE-2.8 + blu spark 3.18.31-blu_spark-OOS (r112)

CM13 user for almost 5 months. Have hit 14 hours SOT before on a single charge. Have never gotten less than 10 hours SOT and average almost 12.

My batterylife is great, 5-6 hours SOT and 24 hrs. off the charger. BTW the best roms for stellar battery life are the ones that have no user installed apps, disable auto-sync, screen brightness set on 10% and only use wifi connections But then why would you buy a smartphone?

Do you have gapps installed and are you on 3g/4G or just WIFI ?

who's going call this terrible battery life in nugget?
that's beta6+franko23 with 4g all the time

I get nothing similar to these results. I've got freedom OS latest beta 6 and bluspark 125 and I can barely get 5 hours of SOT even with brightness really low and only on WiFi

Stock OOS 4.1.3 with franco kernel.
2 hours SOT
22 hours up time
61% remaining
4g only, no Wifi

I am using 3 uk 4g I live in London
I got the same problem , one plus 3t tried all ROMs all kernels , I bought franko kernel app from market and ex kernel , so I got the pro version, I can't get more then 3 hours I don't know if is my device or my battery, I tried a tutorial to disable all Google sync's and Google now and more services , I don't know what to try , I think the battery is not equal made from this Chinese company,
My nexus 6 is non rooted latest firmware 7.1.1 latest security patch I got 3.20 hours screen on time, so I am wondering where is that power efficiency of Snapdragon 821 processor?
Next time I will not buy anymore that (flagship ) device
Also super big screen burn
For £120 I can get Moto g plus dual SIM with Snapdragon 625 super power efficiency I can get 6 hours screen on time , also dual SIM .
Flagship killer

I'm on 3 in the UK also and can easily get 5-6hours SOT. Sounds like therea something wrong with your phone.

Im currently on LOS (Tugapower) and battery life is decent.

Perhaps LineAge from sultanxda is a good choice. I heard, that it has great battery life. Still testing, seems good.

It seems that battery life is inconsistent. Maybe they were shipping with different battery units, different brand, factory or something? For ma total max is 5h SoT in 20-24h.

Sultan FTW!!!!

is it just me or does oreo battery life suck.?

So switched over finally to oreo 2 months ago on OB. Flashed every oos kernel and battery life just seems to suck compared to nougat. Sot has dropped significantly and idle drain is through the roof. I was getting 0.1-0.2%/hr idle drain on nougat and over 8 hours sot every day on nougat, happened to be running the Xceed kernel as well. Is it just me or does everyone seem to have this issue? Because, to be honest, a decrease from at least 8 hours sot to 4 hours is making me say f* the new awesome features and go back to nougat and get my battery life and performance back.

What kernel are you using ?
I have used boffela and Render zenith both gives me good battery backup and standby .. currently on Render zenith as it has EAS and providing me with amazing battery backup .. Just flash it and give some time like 2 days .you can see the difference... Custom roms most of them I have tried but not satisfied with the battery backup so moved to open beta

Currently on Renderzenith as well. So far the best for battery life under my usage. I know it differs from person to person but a decrease by half is not something I can consider an improvement.

Best Battery Life ROM for Mi Max 2

Hi, i see a lot of ROM in the rom section for XDA, and I am currently on MIUI 9, and the battery life on this phone have significantly downgraded, does anyone have a reason for this? This phone can only last one day, whereas before it was able to last two days constantly. Majority of the consumption is via Google play services and the Google play store, and I have tried many attempts to fix this drain but failed miserably. So, I was wondering if any can recommend be a battery efficent ROM with everything working, bug-free and would also like to use Magisk, I just web browse and play videos, nothing too taxing on the CPU or GPU, so I don't need a high performance ROM. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

the best ROM for battery life is xuefer LOS 14.1 based on Android 7.1.2, hands down and very stable as well, have used it for half a year as a daily driver. just of course be aware thats it "only" Nougat, not Oreo, and LOS has not as many customization options as other custom ROMs out there.

be sure to:
- limit screen brightness to minimum levels you need
- switch off any and all sensors you dont need (wifi, mobile data when on wifi, gps, bluetooth, etc.)
- optimize cpu/gpu/IO governors, clocks, schedulers to your needs
- set app permissions and restrictions for each individual app to your specific needs
i know this is a lot of work, i do it myself every time i installed a new rom. but u only do it once and then u can enjoy maximum battery life i averaged around 18 hours SOT on xuefer, with MSM Oreo and now on ArrowOS Pie im getting around 16h SOT on average.

Question Please share your battery usage screen with me

Hi guys, I feel that my redmi 9 T battery life is too short please can you share with me your Redmi 9 t battery usage screen to check if my phone battery life is ok

I am getting 15-20 hours of screen on time easily with custom roms. On Meme UI this is reduced to 8-12 hours.

According to your experience, which one is better, especially in terms of energy savings?

Both are giving same battery backup, kernel is something which creates a difference, not only me but many users cartel kernel is giving a great battery backup.
I have attached a screenshot below

General Oos 13

Hi there 10 pro users
I don't know if you all noticed but i started with oos 13 a couple weeks ago without root i had it on QHD 120hz it was pretty good to use battery latest very long lasting and always 8 hours sot so that was pretty good to have until i started to root it again wanted to check out somethings but then the horror started couldn't reach no more the 8 hours sot it was reduced to 4 hours even heavy drains sometimes drops in Hz to 1 found out that it is found in there kernel source too they are trying to prevent root or this device needs a hell of a kernel dev who can fix all this or enjoy the device how you like and how you want too use it. And to be honest my opinion don't root it you will have more fun with your device since this is dead in development
I have posted some pictures below the one with 8 hours sot was before root the rest of the pictures after root

Hi, but there is a difference...
Your screen time is not the same, so the comparison is not valid.

I'm rooted and have not noticed a drain on the battery... I have heavily debloated though.
My apps list in battery doesn't show anything anymore but this is one charge.
I didn't just leave it with the screen on either lol. But have been reading a lot on chrome.

That's oos 12 and seems that you don't even use the device this is not your daily driver

Are you sure the one of 8 hours was the first time I had oos 13 installed even wiped it set it up with something's a few apps what ik using but after I wanted it too root found out that they want too prevent it so my CPU where locked and this only happens in oos 13 but in oos 12 I didn't had that much problems with root but still it's a heavy drainer device

Well you switched back so you know what I'm talking about but what did you debloated and what did you use to downgrade ?
But for now my battery is like this I have franco kernel manager running without root and setup with adb commands I have a drain right now of 0.90 but it doesn't seems to add up to my first 8 hours sot

It's subjective based on user, location, network, apps etc..
I've already advised in other threads what I've done in detail.
Rolling back AFAIK there is only one way and that's the rollback package found in the beta thread.
Debloat from the debloat thread.
I average 10 hours at least and I use my phone all day long 7am to midnight most days.

Same. I regularly only have to fully charge this device once a day. It'll last me easily from morning to night on a full charge with moderate use throughout the day. With added streaming / gaming on a lunch break, if I don't sometimes I can even get away with two work days (around 1.5 days) on a single charge.
The battery is definitely good, just need to use your system wisely, like with most tech. The fact that it charges to full in about 25 minutes is just gravy.

Yea mines about 2 days ish.. if I'm on citra or an emulator then sure it'll be a lot less but gaming on lunch will still see me through the day.
Charging is insane on this phone, not 100% if it's good for the battery or not.
Thermals for me were higher on oos13 hence why I switched back, I do prefer the look and feel of 13 but it annoyed me to have extra heat during gaming etc.
Haven't tested C.21 yet, but have heard good things.

Hi, I don't agree with the fact that root is draining battery. I am on oos13 since the first day of stable build and now on C21, rooted with xposed and 4 modules running and didn't noticied any différence with and without root. Maybe loosing a bit with xposed but I still managed to get 11h of sot (wifi and a lot of reading) and average 6h on mobile data. Also the phone is debloated.
@dladz i used to charge my phone with old 20w op3 block (no need of full speed, and trying to save battery life) but the few times I used the 80w I didnt noticied more heat on C21 than on oos12. But I don't use m'y phone while charging and always put it in airplane mode. If you want I can try some scénarios while charging and send you températures to compare

Just run a heavy emulator like Aetherx2 running lets say Tekken Tag Tournament..
I noticed C20 throttle but not A17.
I haven't noticed c,21 as I've never installed it... Fair bit of work to get back to how I like my phone.... Plus a few mods that don't work on 13 yet

Ok i will try it. By throtteling you are just looking if the phone start lagging or testing with an app like '' cpu throtteling test ''?
I know you were talking of c20, I was saying that just for you to have some data/feedback of c21 si you don't have to try it yourself, if I can help. But yes if some of your mods don't work on 13 I understand why you are staying with 12

Ah cheers man.. You'd don't have to do that, but I appreciate it..
Then again it'd be nice for you to get Aetherx2 running.. Reckon you'll like it..
Throttling as in the device getting hot then cycling down the CPU to save it from overheating.
I noticed the dips in performance plus the heat was substantially higher on 13 than 12 just from memory.
Maybe some other heavy games could emulate this test too
