[Q] Good battery ROM

Hello people,
first of all I want to say that I know there are more questions like this one, but I couldn't find an up-to date one.
I'd prefer an ICS or later rom since.. well the GB roms are quite outdated, but if you know a rom which offers a great battery life don't hesitate to tell about it.
I'm corrently using CM10 unofficial from Pengus77:

Here is a screenshot of my current battery life with light use (no data, little wifi for whatsapp and sometimes checking my timetable screenshot) :

Please let me know if you know a very battery-friendly rom.
Edit:
And it's not like I have an ancient battery or something ( +- half a year old).

Hello!
I'm using Paranoid Android and I like it a lot. Battery life is really great. I'm using my phone from morning till the night and almost always battery last long enough. I'm using it for surfing, listening music, phone calls, messages so I think that this is really nice rom.

AW: [Q] Good battery ROM
Got to confirm that! Using PA with Kowalski kernel 113, OC @ 1,3 GHz some small UV and a great app as recommended by pengus and tonyp which is greenify! Take a look at it

Wise choice.
Note: Don't judge the battery too fast. Wait till it have done a few cycle charges (meaning: plug charger in at a low battery percentage, keep it charching till its 100% - repeat few times.).

Yes, I will (although a lot of people say you should only charge to 80/90% to not overcharge your battery)
What governor are you all using btw? just normal interactive?
Update: installed the rom, all my apps, filled in my preferences/personal customisation etc. and I lost about 25%
so everything seems to go quite well with this rom.
Just one question:
what is a good alternate theme instead of the xperia one?

Default governor.
I'm using adw

Well, here are the results of the PA rom:
As you can see the battery life is MUUUCH better. This is at almost the same usage as seen on the other screenshot so It's a fair comparison.
Thank you for informing me about this great rom and as a token of my esteem I'll give you all a :good:.

[Q] Very poor battery life ( please help)

I have upgraded to sony.z1 from.HTC One and I noticed that 2300mah battery was much better than the 3000 in z1. I charged my HTC one after usage of 1day 1-3 hrs after having an average usage whereas in z1 it is not more than 12 hrs on nrml usage of whts app and few mins of web browsing. Please help me with this problem I hope I am not the only one who is.suffering this problem. I feel battery optimisation in Sony has to do something. There is something that is eating the battery of the phone even on.idle mode.

Download Better Battery Stats. Search Google and xda and learn how to use it. If you post some info from that it makes it much easier to help you. Post some screenshots of it after a full charge's worth of use. Even screenshots of the built in battery usage from settings would help, but BBS is better.

This is what I managed to get from that Application. My phone went to 80% from 100 without even turning the screen on. Please help

Take screenshots from all the other data in BBS (kernel wakelock, partial wakelock, cpu, etc...). Those are the ones with information that is useful

Here you go my phone charge was 70% when I removed from charging. If you want info from 100%- below 10% den I will take them as well. Mobile networks are on 24 hrs just to inform you.

you should go to setttings/ power management, battery consumption to check which backgrounds apps are using the battery. It is more useful for you. Based on stats from bbs (dont know if you have tweak it correctly), you are playing music when the phone is off. Check if water is in audio port.

[Q] Xperia Z and CM 11 - Am missing "Stamina"

Heya,
Im a total phone n00b, but was sick of Sony's bloated updates so did some googling and successfully installed CM11 on my Xperia Z (went from Sony's official 4.3 build)
Im greatly prefering the nightly CM11 builds, they are more stable than Sony's 4.3 update :laugh: Before someone says, I do realise this isnt released as stable software, but Im fine with that, it works really well. Im just looking for ways work around some of the issues :fingers-crossed:
I am having a couple of problems, I would ask in the development forum but dont have the permission to do so, so hopefully someone can help me here.
#1 Im getting Music stuttering/artifacts when playing MP3's. It seems to be a common thing on the Z at the moment.. I did some playing and the only fix I have found is running Android Tuner with the CPU setting at performance, which plays smoothly without any issue. None of the other less power hungry settings seem to be able to play MP3's smoothly.
#2 Battery life sucks. I get about 6 hours of average use now. On the official 4.2 software Id get an easy 10 hours with the same use.
Im guessing my issues are very much one and the same thing. The sony builds come with "Stamina" the app that controls clock speeds etc and greatly increases battery life.
Ive downloaded Android Tuner, and DU Battery saver, in an effort to try and reproduce what Stamina was doing, but I cant find the combination of settings that work.
Does anyone have any ideas on what settings to run? A single app that does what Stamina does? Any other ideas on how to get my phone fast enough to play MP3s, without requiring a diesel generator towed behind it for the hourly recharge would be great
Thanks!

Not to diss cyanogenmod or anything but currently nightlies are a bit iffy, may work well for you but may I suggest for the time being you switch to beanstalk ROM you will get superior battery life, performance and a a lot more features it should also fix audio as I've experienced excellent audio quality with the ROM.

A very got alternative to Stamina is Greenify. It hibernates apps when you don't use them. It is basically the same thing Stamina does. The only thing you won't have is that internet connection won't turn off when you switch off your screen. But with Tasker or Llama you can create a profile to change to 2G when turning off screen and switch back to 3G or even Lte when turning screen on.
Sent from my Xperia Z using XDA Premium 4 mobile app.

Because Xperia Z's CyanogenMod11 default CPU voltage is higher than the Sony official system, only to be saving by reducing the CPU voltage. But CyanogenMod11 kernel does not support CPU voltage drop, third-party kernel "MEOW-kernel.v1.12.17-kitkat" currently does not support the CPU voltage drop. To power saving can only wait "MEOW-kernel" support a voltage drop.

This is my Xperia Z with CM 11.0

Use the Snapdragon Battery Guru app. It's specially designed for Snapdragon processors by Qualcomm. It's does a pretty similar job to what Stamina Mode does.

Cheers people,
Have been running Beanstalk for a few days, its definetly less greedy than the Nightly CM11 and is playing music fine with no tweaking needed. Just installed snapdragon battery guru too.
Thanks heaps! :highfive:

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Moto G4 Plus before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

never took the battery down much past 50% but at the 50% mark I'll usually have about 3 hours of SOT. my moto g³ is pretty much the same. great battery life and SOT on the g⁴plus! especially if you're like me and mostly use IRC and open a few links and youtubes throughout your session. you're going to have PLENTY of SOT

Compared to the screen in the G3, it is sharper despite being bigger at 5.5 inches. This is due to the higher resolution of 1080p. The text looks crisp on this phone. But where it truly excels is in showing colours. The contrast and the colour depth on it is brilliant. The brightness is more than adequate, although it is also a very reflective screen and that poses some difficulty during outdoor use. The viewing angles are average -- the screen darkens when viewed at an angle -- and that too affects the outdoor visibility. But I have seen worse. And seen better. The G4 Plus is closer to the best.

Best Kernel & Rom combo for a Grandpa (aka best battery life, minimal features)

I'm going to give this phone to my grandpa, he's used to a flip phone, so 3++ days battery life and such.
He will be using it to call, send sms and GPS mostly.
What is the most stable and least battery draining kernel and rom available?
I was using AICP 12.1 ( 7.1.2) with stock kernel
This is my current battery life, it just dies at around 50%

This seems like pretty good battery life on LG L90. I am still on my first stock rom (Kit Kat 4.4) , and battery life is bad. Even if not using phone, because I have a new one, battery drains by itself pretty much. If I use phone for internet surfing , it dies after maybe 3-4 hours of surfing.
Can you tell which ROM are you using?
I also want to change ROM and put some light OS with minimum features just to make phone lighter, more reponsable and to get better battery life.
I thought SLIM Os is the best out there for that.
Could you suggest better one ?

In my opinion Lineageos is better. Also im pretty sure its called slimrom not slimos but I have seen people that moved from slimrom to lineageos and said that the battery life on lineageos was better.

Using the pico or nano gapps also helps a little as they use less ram and CPU processes.(I use mini but I disable a few things). I get about a day an half when I'm using it constantly. Also make sure you don't install to many apps that run in the background and never use apps that free up ram ect as they are useless battery hogs. If you want free ram disable unused things.

Hi, i use a slimrom 7.1.2 without any custom kernel, and the battery life is very good and very fast also, i have hebf optimizer to tweak some phone parameters, and basicly i have everything tuned to performance mode, and with mixed use i have between 5 and half to 6 hours of screen on time

Whatever old rom u use, the battery drains come from Google play service and store, they auto update and u cant control this, the only way is freezing them and u will see the difference.
The best way to force people to buy new phone is overloading old ones without people realize that, the only ROMs with good Google services are the lastest.
