Custom Kernel - What do you say? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi everyone, for a long time i see ppl claiming their phone last longer due to a custom kernel.
Normally i read they saying "i could never make my phone lasting with 2hs screen on or lasting for 2 days".
Anyway, its obviously that this will depend 100% what ppl do with their phone accordingly to apps, widgets, syncing, etc.
For me, normally i have around 3 and a half hour screen on and around 1 day and a half to 2 days.
I do use WiFi and 3G alot... browsing, gaming, texting, etc.
My point is that i belive ppl have a placebo effect. Custom kernel will give you faster response, OC ability and other advantages.
What do you guys say?
Attached are some screenshot from my 100% stock phone.

I just believe some of the little tweaks devs do to a custom kernel do make a difference.

I bag 4h30m on my gnex regularly.

Yea I totally agree that stock performs just as well in the battery life department. All I care about is having root.

Your battery life won't really get better than that. I really agree that there's often a placebo effect in switching roms/kernels, i only use a different kernel for color settings volume boost via Francos app. Stick with stock though I'd say, but of course it's always nice to try out kernels, despite the placebo effect.
Speaking of which though, I'm performing a real life test seeing which governors on my kernel work best for battery life. I simply switch then lol at my screen on time and see if it's improved, I'm assuming hotplugx will win, so we'll see. Interactive is still a great balanced on though.

It made a difference for me personally, because I wasn't getting very good battery life at all with the stock kernel. The other tweaks were also a pretty good bonus.
You're getting pretty great battery life as is though, I wouldn't worry too much about changing to a custom kernel if you're consistently getting numbers like those.

Thanks everybody for the feedback. I guess we are all at the same page.

Battery life or not but performance of the phone definitely improves with custom kernels... Asphalt 7 use to lag a bit on stock JRO03C but after trying Franco kernel Milestone 6 no lag or reboots whatsoever..
In fact I have a placebo that custom kernels reduce battery life

Worth it for the small performance improvements alone but I do get a little better battery life.
Even a few percent better is better than nothing when you sit in a building with poor reception and your battery takes a hit from your phone having a low signal

Somehow i think the same! All my attemps with custom kernels drove me to less juice... but a hell of fastness..

Personally, I run trinity...
Mostly for it's colors but I did seem to go from 1 day to 2 days without charging after the switch (placebo...?)

My battery suddenly dropped from 15% to 0% on Milestone 6... Now I'm back on stock custom kernels are like 3rd party engine mods on a car..

3+ hours screen on time, 12+ hours standby. I didn't think it was possible, my battery bad been draining pretty quickly. I think the key this time was that I was on WiFi all day.

no sync because i don't have the data to go syncing the whole day, auto brightness, 3g outside, wifi at home. Web browsing only, i don't play games on my phone, it's reserved for my computer.

Stock kernel, stock ROM. Turn off auto sync unless you are connected to a wifi hotspot. This will give you 3 hours screen on time and 12+ hours uptime. I have 3 email accounts set up, but they do not sync automatically. I manually check my email in the am, at lunch, and evening.
Stock kernel, unless you can't help but obsess about making your phone "fast". If you want fast, go into Development Options within Settings and turn off all animations, then install a launcher like Nova and turn animations to "faster than light".
I used to flash all kinds of mods on my phone and I realized that was ALL I did with my phone, tinker and troubleshoot it. I will only unlock and root my phone if we stop getting the latest OS updates. In the meantime, nothing is so wrong with the stock kernel and rom that should make you install Bob's OS. But you know, that's the beauty of Android. You can decide what you do with your phone. Hope my point of view makes you reconsider flashing any custom software.

I don't have a screenshot right now to post but I get 5+ hours of display time. This is what I can tell you about my setup.
TNZ Blendz ROM ICS Version 2.5.3 EL26
Stock Repack EL26 kernel and radio
Using Tegrak to under volt -75 on internal -100 on core voltage -50 on GPU
I do mostly reading and tweaking on my phone. I play games here and there but when I do its games like Asphault and Dead Space. Depending on if I'm playing games alot I can get anywhere from 4-7 hours of display time.
Also as a side note I removed all of the screen state and voltage scripts from system/etc/init.d since I use Tegrak to do that for me and so there isnt any conflict.
Also forgot to include I normally stay at around 10% brightness unless I'm outside or in direct sunlight. I try to keep my screen turned down as much as possible.
Are you at 5 hours surfing the net on a weak 3g connection or 5 hours looking at a white background in airplane mode

Ive done a 3G radio test with screen off that died at 6.5 hours just to put against that question lol. Decent 3G usage will kill a phone long before a screen will unless I did it wrong. Epic amounts of playtime listening to music on phone maybe pretty good over wifi?
Ive yet to get this much screen time without killing the phone in the same amount of time. I cant say running Calkulin's has made any tremendous difference in my battery life given I keep the screen at 25% which is probably brighter than the auto brightness would after he modified it. Im just an abuser on everything else and normally I like my screen much brighter but can get away with less since I am mostly indoors.
This is my typical daily usage.
Probably about half and half is done on 3G and Wifi
Browse Tapatalk quite often
Read several articles on Google Currents "sync at least once a day"
Checking Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ often
Reading Reddit several times a day.
Emails
Texting, this is do alot of
Google Talk, again this is do alot of
Phone calls, not so much, maybe five calls a day.
Check market daily for updates, sometimes more depending on if apps are updated.
Sync all accounts in PageOnce at least once a day, sometimes more.
I'm sure I missed a few things but that's about the average daily use for me. I spend about 60% of my day on my phone. This thing is a lifeline for me and acts as a hub for my communications if that gives ya an idea of how I use it.
Edit. I will post a screenshot once the day is out. I've been flashing back and forth between CM7 and TNZ and now that I'm back on TNZ with a fresh setup I'm calibrating my battery. Once I get that done I will post some screenshots that may help you see my usages.

But seriously, the power the display uses is based on brightness and, I am pretty sure, on what color is being displayed. those are the only ways to "under volt" the display.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
It can be undervolted at the kernel level as Glitch used to do that with his kernel for the mesmerize/fascinate. It helped a little but not tremendously. And you see absolutely correct as it requires more power to display say white vs black. That's why black wallpapers and inverted apps on amoled displays will help battery. This is the opposite for LCD. I find though that inverted apps like on Reddit and tapatalk make me turn up the brightness at times to be able to see easily which of course counters the savings on power. So I don't use them like that. It all depends on how one uses the phone. What I consider light usage may be heavy to you and so on. Everyone will have different results. But one thing that will always stay common is the display will use more juice than anything else on the phone normally.

[Q] Battery Rom Question.

Hellos guys I would like to know wich Rom out there has the best battery life.??? Im running the latest juggernaut..thanks.
I would say dewizzled
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I'm not sure if you can just say best battery life is XXX as everyone's usage patterns are different and different aspects drain the battery faster than others. I have found Dewizzed to give me the best life out of all of the ones I've tried, but I don't get near the time that many post in that thread. The one difference is that when they post their usage stats I never see "Voice Calls" in the top half of the apps using battery, whereas if I look at mine right now Voice calls is #1 at 53% and Display is #2 at 18%. I use my phone heavily as a phone during the workweek, others use it as a media device, others gaming...you get the idea.
Try Dewizzed and try a couple of others. It's easy to flash and then restore or go back to one that works better for you (plus the geek in me thinkgs that is fun too).

WOW! thats pretty impressive. what's your time on display?
I was wondering the same thing. But more along the lines of which rom kernel combo people are running. Now to hijack original posters thread, but if people could also put what kernel they are running too. The best I ever got was BeastMod with Synergy, but once he left the building I don't feel like any of the other ones have been as good.

That tells us little, click on display and show us how much time the display has actually been on
From my experience, it is not necessarily the rom that effects the battery life as much as the kernel does. Every rom I have installed I end up changing the kernel to synergy 10 and see a big increase in battery life.

Display time on and brightness? From the graph it doesn't seem like you used the phone for too much and we don't know how bright your screen was, time on voice calls and any other applications. Why is it that people don't know how to post battery life correctly? Your wifi was on most of the time and wifi uses less battery than data connectivity plus we don't know the type of reception you were receiving. Edge consumes less battery than 3G. These are all factors that need to be taken into consideration to draw a clear conclusion on your battery life.

Why don't you make a list of each rom you want to try, then take the time to flash each one and run each for about a week. Since battery life and performance is directly related to each users set up and personal style of use. This way in about 4 or 5 weeks you can actually make a determination on your own as to what is best for you.

In the middle of the graph, it goes from red all the way up to ~85%. The green bar below the graph also shows how long it's been charging which is DEFINITELY not 30 seconds.
best battery life is very subjective to the user. and remember that the display on this phone is power hungry to say the least. i hope that very soon all phones will come out with non removable batteries. people that need extra power can carry a portable power pack instead of an extra battery. and for those who complain about the longevity of the battery have obviously never used a phone with built in battery or done their research and are simply relying on that crutch of being able to swap the battery just because they can.
WOW...anyway....my point when i started this was that no one can tell you what works best for you...you have to figure that out on your own.

You can clearly see the green charging bar in the middle, not to mention the fact that battery graphs don't go up by themselves.
I was using BlackICE 37 w/ the newest Air Kernel for a while and was experiencing some really good battery life!
I then tried Slim ROM with the same kernel and the battery life was ok...I'm now using the Samurai Kernel and I'm liking it!
Sorry no screenshots, but I have had 17hrs at 50% (about 7hrs were standby cuz I was asleep and didn't plug my phone in to charge over night!)
I'm on AOKP and Franco kernel its pretty good for me, I'm not getting 36 hours a charge but its better than put of the box.

Jellybean batt life observation

Seems jb batt life is pretty bad. 2%/hr idle. Alot of wake locks also from maps and networklocator. :Im assuming all from google now?
Noticed that over the last 24 hours battery life was worse than usual while I was on jellybean. Think you are probably right that Google now is the culprit, I really hope that it gets better before the ota but at the moment it just doesn't seem like it will be worth "upgrading".

Well, it must be Google Now. I turned it off and my battery is relatively the same as it was before. When using background location update, you can expect it to drain battery a little. Google Now uses your location data quite a bit.

I thought JB was pretty good on the battery from my experiences. Did my overnight sleep test and it drained 3% in 8 hours just like ICS did.
As for screen on time, I feel that it's even better than before.

I'm getting pretty good batterylife with JB. Over 10 hours on battery and over 3 hours of screentime and I still got 40% left with 2000mah oem battery.
I have yet to flash JB, but one thing concerns me. Is this not just a dev preview and not the final product that will be pushed out mid-July? Not to sound harsh, but I don't see why complaints are being made about battery life at this stage of JB. Just my 2 cents, fyi...

My battery life is no different.
You also have to remember this is a developers preview build and not the official release.

My battery life over the ~12 hours i had jelly installed seemed the same. Good standvy times also. I think it will depend on how much of the new stuff google added you use that will determine battery life. Some of that stuff will make a big impact.

If you are getting bad battery life and wake issues, check your apps. I've heard LightFlow was causing wakelocks b/c it isn't optimzied for JB yet. I've deleted it until they can get it updated. So far, my battery life hasn't been great b/c I can't keep my hands off of it
Yeah, I would agree that battery life seems pretty good. It seems a little worse on Franco.kernel than stock, but hey, it's a new kernel and he is still trying to get all the kinks worked out. Also, no wakelocks on Light Flow, but I hope they update it soon, lots of my notifications stopped working.
Ehh I don't think its terrible at 2% an hour. Better than 10% an hour. I'll take a little drain for the beauty of JB

IMO I think it's draining a little fast, but I think that's because I keep flashing kernels and add-ons which reboots and causes the battery to drain super fast... and I've been messing with apps a lot too. So I'm gonna give it another day or two for a definitive answer.

Well, it must be Google Now. I turned it off and my battery is relatively the same as it was before. When using background location update, you can expect it to drain battery a little. Google Now uses your location data quite a bit.

How do i turn it off

I don't understand what people expect??? They want to have an awesome huge screen, fast processor, 4G speeds, want to run apps like crazy and then have Google Now constantly updating and expect the battery to last all day?? People just need to be realistic!
I'm completely stock and my battery is almost the same. Think it's a bit early to tell yet, we've all been playing more with the new rom

I am under the impression that the drain is slightly higher than on ICS, I am now 5,5 hours after charging, with 88% left (and a screen time of 18mins). On ICS I would be around 90 to 93% (with the 2000mAh battery). But nothing really to worry about.
Having said that, I did have lightflow installed and it did show in the wakelock screen, so I uninstalled that to see if the next charge gives me even better endurance.

Best Battery Life - ROM - Verizon

Anyone out there found the best ROM to have the best battery life?
I'm running AOKP toro JB build3 with Franco's kernal and I have the Verizon extended battery but the battery life still isn't all that great.
I use the phone quite a bit so the screen does kill it.
I've tried having the screen dimmed and clearing battery stats and all that stuff.
Is JB just a heavy user of battery? Is it better to go back to ICS?
Coming from a thunderbolt with an extended battery I had great battery life granted the battery was like a jet pack.
I'm sure I'm not the only out there as I've search other threads like this that brought me to AOKP JB and Franco's kernal.
Please let me know your thoughts, thank you kindly.
good. lord.
another one of these threads?
THERE IS NO BEST ROM
One does not simply give up on hope of great battery life.

and another dead panda. one by one, they will soon be gone..
Thanks for the awesome reply and I will search this ROM for a toro Verizon version.
Some day well be exctiniced
Oh and that's HSDPA which uses significantly less battery than CDMA so your battery life is pointless.

I'm currently using AOKP with Franco.kernel nightly builds
The battery life is enough to get me through the day with moderate usage.
I've I'm using it heavily I usually have to charge it before the day is done.
I'd try CM9 or Bugless Beast with Lean kernel if you're trying to squeeze out every drop of battery life.
There are so many other ROMs for TORO that you just need to try them all and find out which ROM / kernel combo works best for you.

One does not. However,it is a question that no one can answer for you since there are far too many variables that are unique to each individual. There is a reason mods lock thee threads as soon as they see them, and that is because they are totally useless given the extreme variation from localities, different basebands, hardware variances even within the same production run, etc. Like the others have said,think of the pandas and don't be surprised if you see this thread locked in the very near future.

Though I don't see the point in recommending one, stock is pretty good. But i really just wanted to say that clearing battery stats does not improve battery life.

Hey buddy,
I used to own a Motorola Atrix 4G and flashed a JB ROM that was Frankenstein up with Gingerbread drivers. The battery size on that phone is virtually the same capacity as the one on the GNEX, but for some reason I was able to get 8 hrs screen on while connected to WIFI. Atrix is a dual core phone at 1Ghz processor and 1 GB RAM.
I would love to get at least half the screen on time I used to get on my old phone.

This.
It's somewhat irksome to see that some people still hold onto the misinformed notion that clearing battery stats is in any way shape or form going to have any impact on battery life or reported charge. It has about as much to do with either as what color table you rest your tablet on when not in use.
