Best Kernel & Rom combo for a Grandpa (aka best battery life, minimal features) - LG Optimus L90

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%

I think lineageos 14 is the best. Also, i am pretty sure this phone dosen't have a very good gps.

The image is below of battery stats for me

I suggest getting a new battery off your favorite site. Like fleabay or zamazon.

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.

Besides the ROM and kernel which affect the battery, the battery life in a day will be depending on which apps you have installed on your device, and how is your usage on the device.

5 hours screen on is quite reasonable.
5 hours standby is not.
Have you checked for wakelocks?

5 hours standby...
Nop! haven't checked it yet.
last for 5 hours is not acceptable. all smartphone should last a day at least.
5 hours of screen on time is great.
battery depends on how u use your phone mate. it doesnt matter what rom u use.. how u use it affects the battery the most
display which is amoled consume lots of power. lower brighness prolong the battery life.
data service use lots of battery. wifi is a lot less.. use wifi when available..
standby of note is very very good especially when the phone goes to sleep. which is the main reason .. install CPU Spy from the market and check the deep sleep
flashed "[ROM] [JB 4.1.2] [PA | AOKP | CM] ◄ PACMan► all - in - one (v17)"
and the battery is working great so far
battery life sucks on all TW JB roms ..
if u want a good battery life rom without any bugs .. flash Cosmo rom with the last SpeedMod kernel or HydraCore v4.3b STD
check ahalfords thread in stickies on wakelock

I'am now on AllianceROM JB xxl7 and battery life is similar to ICS RRv12. About 5h screen on, standby seems similar too.

I disagree, not-i's sweet jb rom ls7 has great battery life and performance, around 4h+ of screen on time and lasting almost 2 days with light usage, with heavy use i get around 3h of screen on time.

Most leaked LS7 JB Roms are similar, the only difference is applications devs put in them. I usually check which applications use the battery mostly. I would recomend uninstall some system applications those stay resident in the memory they also play some role on battery consumption as well. We all have different phone usage habbits and it is impossible to make accurate commend on how long our batteries last. Note II has incredible battery life bacuse of the bigger battery it has and 2 GB memory. İnstalling JB on Note 1 is actually forcing this machine for heavier load. If you really like to use Samsung apps TW rom is must but AOKP roms are not bad withous TW features. I know many people are happy with them, however their experince with battery is not much better than TW users at all.
Again, battery issue has lots of aspects and one should watch his own experience. Also there is a good tread about battery on this forum. Please check I found it very informative.

[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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058231

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.

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?

Anyone?

Wondering if anyone is working on a new rom now the sources have been released.
It does not seem like it. I have been looking a lot around the net. I am considering selling mine.
I already built some ROMs for other phones and tablets but you guys need to understand that this is not something that is done in a day !
With my ******* connection I am not even done with the download of the sources ! Then you need to make some adjustments, sync, gather all the sources and finally build which is a really heavy process and right now since I need my computer to work, I can't let him build and compile.
I'll definitely build some ROM for this device since I want to try new ROMs but I need more time
That sounds encouraging. Even if the performance were increased (less battery drain) on the existing Mokee and CM 12.1 Roms, we would be in a better place. I am currently on Mokee 14/03 and the battery drain makes it very difficult to use out and about.

Hi ectoplasma22, I hope you could build a nice rom for this phone, because the smartphone deserves it! Can you say me if you have found some bugs on the Mokee one? Is all working on it? I'm now on miui europe stable and the rom is good but I see some limitation of the Miui rom wich are a little annoying like errors converting user app in system app system and many, but however I found how to switch the 2k dispay resolution to 1080 and the battery life increased +30%, also if I'm getting error writing screenshots on sdcard and some apps see only a small area to work, and the cursor for those apps is blocked in a small space, like the app Nice Eyes which can't be placed on the eyes. Do you know a secure way to change resolution without get anu bugs?

Lots of comments in the Mokee thread here on battery drain. http://en.miui.com/thread-228046-1-1.html
Great that it's working for you, but mine is way worse than miui for drain. Seems to be related to min cpu frequency being high during idle.
I also notice that the cm 12.1 thread has a known issue on needing to have two sims inserted and using the second for lte if you want to use lte. http://en.miui.com/thread-234339-1-1.html. I'm not sure if this impacts Mokee too or if related to battery drain (I have one sim only in sim 2). But my drain is a lot better when aeroplane mode is on.
Android 6 coming from nian, only sound is bugged..

Battery Life and Screen on Time

Same with me, June and said it's the latest. XT1602.
Running CM13 and Squid's kernel. Screen-on seems to drain this thing pretty fast even when WiFi is off, screen off it seems like it can last forever. I don't know the exact model number, but I have the single SIM 16/2 model, non carrier specific purchased straight from Motorola.
I don't know how this compares to stock Android or stock kernel, as I unlocked this thing's bootloader and flashed everything I have now without even getting the chance to experience what stock firmware was like.

I just reverted to the "stock" kernel CM comes with and I don't see much improvement compared to what I was getting in the previous post with Squid's custom kernel. It could just be a defective device I have (this, plus the screen brightness seems to "transition" from one brightness setting to another VERY slowly), but with CM installed, it's a bit late for me to do anything about it...
I am very impressed with the battery life. I have the phone a little over a week now, and have yet to kill it by bed time.

Pretty good
So far, the battery life is pretty good. Lasts long enough. I'm using Resurrection Remix 5.8.0 and Squid kernel.

Very Poor Battery Life - Phone Idle VERY HIGH, Please Help

Hello, I'm on the Epic rom 7.0 Nougat rom. My battery life is very poor despite everything I've tried to do. Standby drain is very poor taking extremely high battery usage.
Almost 10% loss in under 9 hours... Please could someone help me find the cause of this problem? I've had many Android devices but never before had such high standby drain.
Refer to the picture below, stats based over a 7 hour period.

What are the BEST roms for battery life? Standby battery is very poor and unacceptable. For me the battery life in Epic rom 6.0 MM was better than Epic rom 7.0 Nougat. I thought Nougat was better for battery? In my case it's worse than 6.0 Android M.

The battery life of MM Epic is not actually my reason to stick with it but, it's quite acceptable on my end. (Below screenshots) 21H total, 1.5H SOT taken by %30 percentage of battery(%10 is screen off), low signal reception -while a trip-, wifi/data off when screen is off. That %10 screen off drainage sounds high but actually not quite. If you use like constantly turn the screen on and off, it's kinda acceptable. Simply; the device won't dive into deep sleep right away. Last thing; phone idle is always taking lower percentage than screen as far as i see on my device. Nougat is sick fellas.

But compare your phone idle compared to mine, there is a big difference. Also, I have excellent coverage, always full signal, never get bad reception yet phone idle is too high.
Is there any fix or suggestion?? I've lost almost 10% battery and screen on time has only been 11 minutes, do you really think that is normal?? Should still be 98% battery not 92%

That's what I was thinking of. To re-flash and downgrade to MrRaines MM rom. I will do so later on this evening and report back.
To be honest I did try the MM rom from MrRaines and did not have the phone idle issue, only started to get this with Nougat...
Also, performance and camera was the same, no different.
Much better, went back to epic rom MM version.
No more high phone idle :

This is very odd , I have had no issues at all with Epic 7.0 sometimes it's best to do a full wipe then upgrade. Sorry it didn't work out for you.
