Anyone got some suggestions for apps or something that will extend my battery life I'm running the latest mean ROM and battery seems to drain faster than ever last full charge lasted 3 and a half hours lol any suggestions would be great thanks in advanced

Do you have the issue on normal roms? Try one that doesn't do any dual core or overclocking stuff. Clean ROM lasts me forever

Yep pretty much. Meanrom now includes anthrax kernel which gives better performance but gives lower battery life. Use the stock kernel.

How often are you using your phone? Screen on time? Wifi only? What apps are synching and how often? Strong or weak cell/data signal? Do you have auto-brightness on? (if not, how high is your brightness set?) Etc etc etc
Point is, there are 100+ factors, that you didn't mention, that can adversely affect your battery life, and before anyone can give you advice, they'd need to know your setup/usages.
JuiceDefender helps me a ton.
3 hours on a full charge? That's nuts bro... Have you tried wiping and a full install without restoring any apps? I'm on mean 3.5 with minimal tweaks and I can go all day long with the anthrax kernel at 1.5. Are you talking 3 hours of straight usage?

I'd start clean and find out what app is keeping your phone awake. It should last over 24 hours if you're not using it.

Stay away from task killers...they are not really needed and eat up battery as they work anyway. Long as you have your sync settings and such set up right you'll be fine.
If you got everything set to push or sync in small time frames it'll kill battery life.
I'm going to venture you have something rogue killing your battery...
I'd install systempanel and turn on monitoring service and check back after time has passed and see exactly what's eating the battery...much more detail there...

I'm using v3.5 of MeanROM and I have the Antutu CPU master. Even though the Rom manages your CPU you fan tweak stuff with this app. I currently have my CPU running to the max levels. You cab tweak it to only du. Between 100mhz to maybe 800mhz (estimates) if you're trying to save battery. The app costs but you fan find it on google if you want

I have one suggestion. Use flight mode while you are sleeping, then it almost just use 1% in the time you sleep.
I charge it to 100% before I go to sleep and if its already late I put it on flight mode and the next day when I wake up I will put flight mode off.
Rest off the day its just on normal settings, auto brightness etc. I have been doing about two days now in the weekend with idle usage.

What do you mean by "Clean ROM"? I have LeeDrOiD_3D_V5.4 - not sure if it's clean Anyway - have that so little time yet that not sure about battery difference. Bought JuiceDefender and that seems to help a bit though.

Your problem lies in leedroid, choose a different Rom, update you radio, calibrate battery, wait a day or 2.
And remember to superwipe!

What ROM would you suggest? I have S-ON - will that be problem? Do you suggest Android 4.0 ROM?
I am on gsm 3vo. Just had similar problems with leedroid.
I use romeos3d, Anryl 10.07 kernel, no task killers.
S on is required for radio update, you should be able to flash custom kernel thru fastboot. Or the flashimage gui on market.
If you don't superwipe when you try a new Rom, you might have issues.

2.3.4 is software version. It'll say sense version above.
Any sense 3.0, 2.3.4 Rom will have everything working.
2.3.5, sense 3.5 only cannot play true evo 3d games.
4.0, 3.6 sense 4.0 is still a work in progress.
Romeos3d 1.3.4 for gsm is my favorite thus far, tried about 10 roms. Everything working fast.

I am using the stock ICS ch, after turning off "downloadagent & facebook app" my battery life has doubled.
I'm using the XSX Kernel with the MIUI ROM I'm getting much more than I used to on the ICS. I'm still new to the all these CPU governors and stuff. But yeah an improvement is what I'm seeing and I'm finally satisfied with the device.
Kernel :XSX v3.3
ROM MIUI 2. 27 or something [the newest]
Governor: Smartassv2
Do try it
I'm using MIUI ROM with advanced stock kernel and I can tell you my battery life is much greater than ICS.

i am new into this custom ROM stuff and i been trying few ROM and now i am on the UltimaROM 2.3.2
but Battery going down from 100 to 84 in short time
Which is the best to have more Battery
and is there anyway removing the default SMS app and use chompsms instead ?
Nothing is best here. Just keep experience yourself with different rom, kernel and tweaks to find the best battery performance for your phone.

These things depend on how you use your phone, but system and idle seem high on your list. Screen and talking are my top two. Batteries have so many variables. I would try different ROMs and kernels.

I think stock kernal is probably your best bet for battery life...
Hi everyone!
1st post on xda, but I'm new in android world!
Anyway, I'm using Omega ROM v27.2 (JB)/stock kernel and I experienced some battery drain issues. After getting BBS, I didn't able to point out what was the cause.
After many readings, I found a possible solution: in advanced WiFi settings, they advised to disable "Keep WiFi on during sleep". By default it's set on "always". They advise to set it to "never" but I prefer set it to "only when plugged in". I think it's more logical!
I don't know yet if it's efficient but I'm trying this and I'll come back later to tell you.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
you could use phenomenal kernel for better battery life. it is better than stock kernel in terms of battery life but you need to check compatibility with the custom rom you choose
Foxhound Essential .2 with latest siyah kernel
Best Battery life I ever tried - I've used Foxhound, Criskelo, and Omega JB roms but the Foxhound Essential is the fastest, ram free (430mb), best battery life performance around (8hours extensive use with mobile date turned on). Try it its great! Thanks

Try latest siyah kernel - plus Foxhound Essential ver .2 - No bloatware and best battery life performance..
I flashed Phenomenal Extreme kernel yesterday but to test it properly I have to wait for Monday when I'll be at work.
I'm not a fanatic of battery life, I just want to find the right mix between performance & battery life. For now, I found the phenom extreme not enough smooth, I'll probably change it for the medium one in few days.

My best results with battery life has been with Phenomenal Extreme and VikingROM. I got about 6 hours screentime with wifi, sync, and lots of gaming. Though i think you can make almost any rom or kernel last about 5-6 hours screentime if you check your running processes and apps running in the backround.
I hv tried lots of roms
Psycho rom XXDLJ1 v 0.0.1 is one of the best
it gives u maximum performance and an amazing battary life
Though you can flash different ROMS and kernels to experiment with battery performance, most reputable ROMS like AOKP or CM10 Wong yield much difference. Too many other variables. I've heard Trinity kernel is a good one, but I just got an extended battery. I found it to be the most sure way of extending battery life.

I've tried omega Rom and phenomenal kernel but these didn't really give me any more battery.
I found the stock kernel and Rom gave me the best battery performance at around 10 hours with WiFi on and surfing internet and maybe a quick go of a game or two.

LK Kernel is the most "stable" kernel. Originally, you asked for the best kernel for "battery saving" ... LK's kernel meets that requirement.
But if you want the ability to OC, you can try the Cubed kernel from DSB. But that is not going to be as stable right now, because it had a lot more features to it.

had my fun, going back to stock. Cubed is excellent but i cant have a SoD while im at work our out and about. I'll still be flashing for dsb to help him bug swat.
I'm using LK's kernel and I've noticed my standby battery time has increased by at least 40%. I can't say how much it helps with heavy usage. If you're looking for overclocking, tons of governors, voltage settings, etc. I would wait for DSB to finish his new Cubed remake.

Hey all!
So I just picked up my Droid DNA a few days ago after trading up via manager approval from a Droid Razr M. Loved the Razr M but the screen was literally killing my eyes; couldn't read it from a rule length away... Anyway, I just wanted to get some input on peoples experiences battery life wise between stock sense 4+ and a stock ROM. I've always been a stock kind of person, but I've noticed with all the great upgrades that came along with my upgrade from the Razr M to the DNA that I've lost quite a bit of on screen time. Any input would be awesome. Thanks!!!

Just slap a kernel with wakelock fixes on this bad boy and you'll get great bettery life. And maybe viperDNA(its an amazing Rom)
With light usage you can get 2 days on the battery, and with heavy usage you can get this.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Consider a kernel...it'll fix some really serious problems...there are also roms that look like stock... battery life on stock isn't as good right now cause of wakelock. you can look up reviews and they'll tell you you will get through a day on light usage on stock. If you plan on using it more then you should consider flashing.

This is on LTE the whole time.
When I was on stock ROM and kernel I easily got a whole day with light to medium usage.
I'm definitely able to get through the day with light use, that's not a problem. I'm more so interested in fixing the stock kernel wakelock problem that is depleting my battery when the phone is just chilling with the screen off. Out of curiosity when installing a kernel, do you have to manually set anything (I ask since the newest version of the LK kernel has the ability to over/under clock the phone, stuff I'm not really interested in messing with), or do you just have to flash and forget about it, so to speak? Thanks!

As most everyone here has already said, but I'll throw in my own experience...
Stock ROM and Stock KERNEL both have pretty good battery life. In my personal situation, I was getting from 7am to about 6pm every weekday before battery dead. My usage is heavy email, txt and voice. Moderate internet browsing. Very little music or video streaming.
With a simple flash of LK's Kernel, I'm now getting through an entire 24hr cycle on a single charge.
Thats a pretty significant improvement in battery life
Alright, I'm hooked. Going to go through the process and flash later on tonight or perhaps tomorrow when I have more time. Any suggestions on which version of LK kernel I should flash if I'm mostly interested in just stability and battery life, 0.9.3 or 0.9.4? Thanks!
-Matt
.9.4, which is the most current version.
Well it took awhile to figure it all out, but I finally got my phone unlocked/rooted and updated to 0.9.4 LK kernel. Looking forward to seeing how the battery life changes . Thanks for the input everyone ^_^!

Pardon my terrible grammar. I meant I'm trying out the LK kernel. Nova looks really nice but I have an OCD like problem knowing I have 2 launchers installed haha.
Something is up with the latest LK. I am along with a few others are having issues with wakelock. Idk if its an issue with the kernel itself or what but its causing terrible battery life.
