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

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)

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

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!!!!

Best ROM in your Choice in terms battery backup SOT

Well we have many custom Roms for our low end premiui device.But best ROM among these in terms of battery backup is still a debate..​Guys share your current ROM
Battery backup
Screen on time
Heating issues
Battery drainage overnight
If any Data bugs
Stability and Performance
VoLTE
If any other bugs

MY FAVORITES
Lineage OS is
Aosp CAF 64 BIT
Halogen OS

I uae pirejs and get up to 5 hours SOT, or day and half of nornal use.
Are you using LOS? how is battery life like? bugs?
Pirejs ROM bas standard nougat sensor issues

CAF AOSP 64 bit by pirej is the best rom

what do you mean by "battery backup"?
how to back up battery?

Here it refers to your battery performance infact its the comparison of SOT (Screen on time ).

Agreed

For me, stock MIUI is the best ROM.
Pros: Battery, GPS, proximity sensor. Everything works flawless.
Cons: Less space for intalling apps.

Is it worth buying Redmi 4x in Q3 2018?

Hello folks. I've been using Moto X Style for about a 1,5 year and I'm tired. Development is slowing down, the phone is really big (my previous one was LG L90). For some time I was looking for a nice, compact smartphone with good battery and decent price. Redmi 4X seems to fit my needs, but is it worth buying now? As far as I know the longer battery is kept unused, the worst condition it has - is 4X still being produced? How about development - how many LOS version may this phone get yet? How is battery life?
Or are there newer models which could fill my needs? 150mm height is too much for me; I like compact smartphones - otherwise I would get Lenovo P2 - that is a beast. Actually I tought that Sony Xperia XA2 would be nice, but that price...
What do you guys think?

Buy redmi 5

As I mentioned, 150mm height is too much. I wish I had more compact smartphone.

Redmi 4x's android version range is 6-8 and thanks to treble we booted android p dev previews. About battery life my SoT records are: RR Luis build nougat 8hr 35min RR Luis build oreo 8h 12min android p dev preview 7h 3min

Project Treble seems promising. I wonder how long Android will keep compatibility with it. How about your opinions, then? Do you like this smartphone? Are you happy with it? Would you buy it again?

My previous phone was zenfone 6 (6 inch display x86 cpu) I was in your situation. It isnt even fit on pocket, lack of development, etc. Redmi 4x seems fine after 6 inch junk. 5 inch display, more custom rom support, Camera is amazing with gcam (miui default cam is fine too), 8 core cpu. Gaming performance is great and also it is cheap. Im definitely happy with redmi 4x

If u want to compact phone, santoni is best choice

Redmi 4X has several ROM's even project treble supported ROM's too.
Custom kernels available too.Development is quite good.
I think xiaomi less likely to make 5inch device in future too because as they are releasing newer devices in the range of 5.5 to 5.9 inches. For e.g. Redmi 6 has 5.5 inch display Maybe they produce 5 inch display phone with tight budget in future e.g. Redmi 4A.
I would say at least go for SD 625 device if there is any 5 inch device.
You've mentioned you might go for Lenovo P2 which has 5.5 inch display considering this Redmi 5 would be fine since it has 5.7 inch display and SD 450 and it's better than SD 435 and has same GPU as SD 625.
If there's any xiaomi store out there near by you live then try out newer xiaomi device yourself to get better decision on which device to get.
SD 435 is based on 28nm technology and now almost all new SD chipsets are based on 14nm or lower so it's better to get this devices.
With using only mobile data on Redmi 4X I do need to charge device in evening or night.
With mix usage it lasts 1½ days which translates roughly around 8 hours of sot. On MIUI 8 I used to get around 10hours of sot.
If you buy Redmi 4X now there's very chance that your phone will have white color notification LED.
Do let us know which one you buy

In the end I bought Redmi 4X since it was quite cheap. It fits nice in my hand. I'm not using it as daily yet, but "play" with it now.
Can you suggest me some nice custom roms (with as little bugs as possible)? Or maybe miui is the way to go (global or xiaomi.eu?). I just wish I could deactivate fingerprint scanner (I don't use it, but touching it with finger accidentaly wakes phone) and remove/disable some google apps. I heard root on miui is available on xiaomi.eu version.

First(I am sure you know it) get device's bootloader unlocked, it a quiet hectic process and will take few days.
The custom ROM's I'll recommend you are list below.
I have personally tried all of them and they are pretty good almost bugless, with good battery backup.
I haven't tried any custom kernel so can't say anything about them. If you wish you can try.
All of them are Oreo based.
1. Resurrection Remix OS.
2. DOT OS.
3. Nitrogen OS.
4. Havoc OS.

I recommend the new Xaiomi Mi A2 lite. It´s very handy too.

Any drawabacks on RR? I heard battery does not last as long on custom as on miui. How about camera and flashlight gestures? Can I set double click on power/volume button to trigger them? Or long click?

sorry doublepost

Of course no. Sd 435 is too old for q3 2k18. I think the minimum soc right now is sd636 (redmi note 5, and other phone with that soc). Iam currently using redmi 4x, but I'll trade this phone to a newer xiaomi (I dont have a lot of money, so i'll choose xiaomi)

I didn't faced any bugs since my usage was using social media apps,some photo editing apps, calls, camera (gcam) and playing PUBG mobile and clash royale.
I noticed the battery drain faster while playing pubgm in rr than miui so yes it does eat more battery when comparing it to miui. Using custom kernel you may get good battery life.
When using it on 4G LTE the battery was draining fast too and experienced device to go warm.
Yes, you can set camera button as far as I remember.
The last time i used rr was in last two weeks of April and early few days of May.
Last build was released in April and later there's no update made available yet.
I think we'll be looking at directly Android P based rr in next update.
To get latest security patch and Android P experience I moved to DOT OS and it's a good build and it also has all the customization that are available in rr and so does the havoc OS.
In my opinion all custom ROM's doesn't have battery backup like MIUI but it's not bad it's decent.
Flashlight gesture I don't know I didn't tried that but it should be available there.
Currently I am using MIUI 10 Global beta and battery backup is good I get SOT around 8 hours with mix usage but again when using 4G LTE it drops down to 4 or 5 hours of SOT.
Battery saver helps a little bit so it's turned on all the time.

I am currently using AOSP EXTENDED. It is smooth and bugless. It's Oreo based.

Use havoc os with phantom kernel (thunder plug hotplug) (alucard governor) you'll be amazed. HAVOC OS > Dot OS in both battery life and performance and fluidity.
10+ SOT

10+ hours of SOT is just fantastic.
I(or rather we) used to had such SOT on MIUI 8.
I'll try this combinations soon in few days, currently on MIUI 10 Global beta 8.8.2.

Does firmware version matter?

Best Kernel/Rom for non-gaming, no lag, and battery

Whats the best balanced rom for no lag and best battery? I dont do any kind of gaming.

I guess nougat roms is better for battery
like viper os, lineage os 14.1 and jdc
Kernel soda 1.2.1 and floppy
you can test combinations between them, or stock

Stock roms always have better battery and stability.
I'd suggest a china based mod, like Masik, MIUI MS or Xiaomi.eu. With latest betas you get up to 5:30 hours SOT and they're Oreo based. Older Nougat releases reached 6:30hrs.

I am very happy with aex.mod rom. Good battery life and absolutely good gaming performance. I put on test with antutu , gpu performance better than eu rom almost 10k point. Battery performance over 5 hours.

Proper Guide. Guidance. Quick Answer much appreciated!! Upgrading to Android 10 OR ??

Hello, I have not been on this site in YEARS!! Much love and respect community. I just got my first ever Asus Rogue 2 and it is a WW model.
Is it as easy as downloading a rom, zip file, reboot? Does the majority recommend the android 10 rom.... or please, if their is someone that done a lot of work and they have a killer rom.... please. save me some time.
I wanna get a new fresh vibe on the device. Thanks in advance

As of now, A10 latest is 2004.60 for WW.
Stock Android 9 on this device has the best battery and least temperatures. You can get 15-20 hours SOT (at 60hz) depending upon your usage. Is also really stable. Games work perfectly on A9. This is the best ROM for endurance and gaming on this phone.
Stock A10 has kinda worse battery and heats up more. SOT is like 11-15 hours (60hz) depending upon usage. Games are slightly less optimised, but nonetheless you get all the features this device provides.
Coming to custom ROMs, Omni ROM (A10) has excellent battery life. Almost as good as A9. Excellent stable UI. But you loose air triggers, and it isn't good for gaming.
HavocOS has battery life similar to Stock A10, and has the best aesthetics. More customisation than Omni. Again, no air triggers and not so good for gaming.
Choice is upto you.

It is recommended to stay at a9 i have tested all android 10 and a9 is much more better a10 sucks for this phone unfortunately.

On A10 I'm taking like 10-15% less battery than A9, winning some different things like Quickswitch (if you are rooted) and the traditional patches and features, so I'm staying in A10. But A9 is a bit better in battery, yep.

Just to add my two cents to confuse the OP even more over which rom version to use...
I'm also on A10 latest 2004.60 and don't have any heating issues, never have A9 or 10. I don't really monitor battery much at all but there's not much difference between A9 and latest 10 with my usage. With a battery this big it isn't a concern of mine. With my average usage lasting 2 days (I mainly only play Bike Race for games).
So yeah, I'm happy to stay on A10.
It's probably also worth noting (although I've not tried any custom rom on this device, so you'll need to check), if you are gonna use Havoc or Omni, you will need to have latest stock build flashed before flashing those roms.
Let us know what you decide... Good luck

Thinking exactly the same right here. Small differences between both just to downgrade. For me, as I said, 10-15%. If I want that % loosing the smoothness of A10 with Quickswitch, I will return to A9 some day

Yeah. But for me I got like 50% more battery on A9 than A10 stock. A simple comparison with other phones suggests only A9 truely gives you 6000mah feel. A10 is more like 4000mah phones. I did quite a lot of testing too.
