I used rebel rom and it's great (2-4 days).Even if overuse it it lasts 35-40 hours.But it's touch sensitivity sucks. (for example : When i touch the screen to go to another part of the menu it seems like i'm trying to run an application.I mean it looks like it's highlighted)
So what are suggestions for good battery life and touch sensitivity? (except rebel rom)

Well I never got 2-4 days with any ROM. Stock ROM (2.3.6) usually lasted full day and a half of use and I had to charge it accordingly. With CM10 I get pretty much the same battery life I got from STOCK rom. (Of course I am using Deep Sleep Battery Saver and Greenify). But I am not a heavy gamer (dont play games at all, may sudoku once in a while )
So they are the same to me.. But feature wise, I prefer CM10 of course..

The Stock Samsung ROM also for me only lasted 1, 1/2 up to 2 days. Now I´m Using Arcos CM9 RC2 and have to recharge it somwhere between 3 and 5 days. (depending on my usage)
I found Arcos 2.6.35 Kernel to be the most stable and battery friendly Kernel unlike the new 3.0 Kernel, where people are still reporting stability issues and some of us are having a high battery drain issue. So if you decide to try Arcos latest CM9 or CM10 and will get about the same battery life or worse than Samsungs Stock ROM, I would suggest to try CM9 RC2.
By using Arcos surces I even compiled my own 2.6.35 Kernel by just adding OC features and software Voltage control. With this Kernel I´m even able to run my phone at Extreme Undervolting settings rock solid.
There are even other custom Kernels you can use with RC2 or RC3, but for me they all didn´t run stable even at stock voltages due to all the tweaks in there. My SGW doesn´t like the additional tweaks. Especially the memory tweaks, though for others they seem to run stable.
That´s why I´m using now my own Kernel with OC and UV options but leaving the rest untouched. By undervolting the CPU it doesn´t last longer than I would keep the phone the whole time in DeepSleep, but it reduces the battery drain significantly when in use.
Wow 3 to 5 days is amazing. But I don't think I can give up CM10 . One and a half day is good enough for me. I had stability issues with CM9 RC5 and 6 with kernel 3 but those issues are not there in CM10 alphas I tried. I am on alpha 7 now and everything is in great working order.
And for a smartphone one and a half day is acceptable for my standards.

I think 5 days is about the max you can reach. But to reach this your phone need to be all the time in DeepSleep. So no calls, no WiFi, no MobileData, simply nothing. But in that case you also do not need a phone at all.
That´s also why I said somwhere between 3-5 days depending on my habbits.
For me the battery drain drops at night to somwhere between 5-8mA. Sometimes even to 2mA. I doubt the Slimbeam ROM can beat this as it also uses either Arcos 2.6 or 3.0 Kernel.
All the custom ROMs out there are basing on Arcos Kernels and work. Simply said they are still Arcos ROM´s with a modified or a different User Interface. Some are more battery freindly and some are less because of the background processes that are keeping the phone unnecessary active. But regarding DeepSleep the battery drain is depending on Arcos Kernel and how well the DeepSleep mode is tuned in this Kernel.

You can get the Kernel here. download "kernel-JB-V2-NORMALMEM-2.6.35-06-12-12" and flash in recovery.

For me its KA21 with Arcknight 3.3 Stock Kernel.
Really smooth, better battery than i experienced stockwise...
try ICS_anzu_KTG tuned_V1.41: governor interactiv
actually battery drain more depends on the kernels..for best battery life stock kernel is the best
Guys note that lad has Pro not Arc. Stock is usually the worst, or better - default gauge for custom ROMs. I've been watching cyanogenmod discussion for a while, usually users feedback on battery life varied from version to version; for tweaked versions can be said that battery life is the same as in stock while the performance is 20% better. I don't know about MIUI.
(Out of your question, the best for battery life are Ultima ROM and Buttermilk ROM which are optimized for battery life and battery life is notably better there; with Buttermilk and low usage you can do as much as 4 days without charging - worth for outdoor trips. Ultima ROM when idle eats like 0,6% per hour.)
Stock rom with stock kernal had the best battery life... but also lags the most.
I recomend arconium ICS with stock kernal for a balaced experiance...!!!

well my method of testing battery drain(i guess everybody tests the same way) is only on standby..how much time does it take to move 1% down when the phone is not touched for an hr or 2...in exceptional cases battery will drain fast while using 3G in one kernel but lil slow on other kernel..
again my point is kernel is more responsible for battery life of the phone rather than a ROM..

Then you need to take syncing into account, if yours is on and mine is off on the same kernel then yours may drian a bit quicker than mine, which goes back to my point of how a user uses their Phone. I don't think it's a black and white issue.

yea dude.. i get it..my point was simple..people were talking about best roms for battery life.. i just said kernel plays an important role in deciding that..that was my only point..i wasnt arguing with anyone..and testing of battery drain at standby means with data off,bluetooth off, gps off..hence syncing of account wont come into picture
I'm not arguing, just trying to make a point also.

Yes I know and sorry, the last two ROMs I was refering to are GB. However, Riyal is working on Ultima ICS ROM and it already exists in alpha version! See this post with download link Hopefully the ROM will have similar advantages as has GB Ultima ROM over GB stock ROM, which means better battery life, better wi-fi reception, improved camera and so on.

So far Arcknight kernel has quite the reputation for good battery life. IMO, for roms i find CM9 from FreeXperia project quite awesome but then there's an issue with the battery stats and brightness for now so wait for the next release i guess. for GB try arconium 8.2. still mostly its based on kernel and also the governor.

Hey friend, how do you do that? I dont ahve that option.
I remember i had on my other phone.
Im running the newest version. Should I change my device??
What option are you referring to?
What is the best kernel for getting the best battery life? I have tried many and the most screen time I am able to achieve is 3-4 hours. This is better than most users but I am sure that getting 5 hours could be done with a kernel that has proper power savings. The phone is overpowered and ramps up its cpu for simple tasks like sending whatsapps. Also is there a kernel/rom combo for achieving the best battery life that work great together? So far the best for me was the Renovate 3.0 rom running a stock kernel reaching 4 hours of screen time. I am currently running maXimus 2.2 with faux 006m and getting around 3 and a half hours of screen time.
Thanks,

Yes and even purchased his app to see if turning off cores and under clocking would help. His kernel has some serious wifi issues so I could not keep it. But also the cores would turn on even when they are set not to. Seems that it is not perfected yet.

Try n3ocort3x's kernels. He's developing his kernels for the most battery life without compromising the ui smoothness and performance. Does pretty well on sticking your custom underclocked values and does a great job on undervolting.

is there a good kernel that is cm10 supported that increases battery life? last night i was testing out while running AndroidME Cm10 1.8.0 and on idle it took 8% of battery in like 8 hours thats horrible compared to the 3% on mincho and like 1% on my iphone 4 xD

I use CM10 with Leankernel, as I just wanted a simple Kernel. However I did under clock my phone to 920mhz. I found that this keeps it much cooler and I'm not seeing a difference in performance running it lower.
With all that I can get a little over 2 days standby time, as long as I don't have location services running.

100 percent doubtful. There are extreme variances in the SoC even from within the same production run. Couple that with other hardware differences, and it becomes obvious how utterly inane these battery life threads actually are. There is but one singular answer to the question, and no third party can give it to you.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I saw no difference between the consumption of CM10 and stock Rom.
Tests
The latest test in our galaxy nexus , we provide to show how different kernel will enjoy their users and create a ****ing fan club, ROM is theoretically irrilevant, every ROM had ( theoretically ) same battery drain, some rom is better, some is wrost, not too much anyway
there's some kernel don't require attention from you, the 2 is Google Stock ( for stock rom ) , CM10 Stock ( cm10 based ), the motivation is really simple, this kernel will be a stability milestone and classic kernel from phone, their dont include any improvements or another things, and anyway it's not really stable or secure as promise, because it's not updated ( google stock ) or include some ****ty commits ( cm10 kernel ).
Our attention is to custom kernel, people will always point trinity as best, it's is but not completly , this kernel has particular clock ( under stock OPP ) , that permits more stable UnderVolt ( using same values in franco , it's crash, in trinity is rock stable ) and save your balls from MPU.
i use Interactive 300-1036 ( 775mV -> 300mhz, 875mV -> 639mhz, 975mV -> 1036mhz )
Another attention is releated to Lean and Glados projects ( in XDA it's author dont open any thread )
Leankernel promise always patched kernel ( from mainline linux ) and lean, smooth, fast, Leankernel interactive is best governor tuning here, very low consumption but there's problem , because it's not have control app, it's hard to tuning right!
Glados is lead kernel innovation,but it's not updated and dont support CM10
Faux kernel is good, but too stock-frequence and governor, dont like it
Iphone4 use less battery ( not really ) becouse it's missing alot android features, disable mobile data, auto sync and wifi and set your brightness to 10%, your phone will be infinite powered.
i do heavy uses ( 4-5 hours screen on ) , i come back to home at night with 10-20% , perfect
as title say i need a long battery life rom..
i don't know if my battery is died or is a rom problem, but it can't last more than 50 minutes while using my phone.

Only 50 minutes? I don't think that is normal. I don't think either it's a problem with a rom. even if you play a lot and on the internet the total time should be more than 50 minutes I believe. I think your battery just died. And if that is the case, not even a rom with a thousands tweaks will get more time than you already have

Arcos CM9 RC2 or RC3 with it´s 2.6.35 kernel is still the best ROM for battery life. The older Slimbeam ROM with the same kernel is told to be as good as Arcos ones. Finally you can also use a customized 2.6.35 kernel with undervolting options to extend your battery life, but like ilusi0n already said there is something wrong with your phone or battery if it only lasts for 50 minutes. My battery lasts for 3-5 days under normal use.

I find that the stock kitkat rom on the s4 mini has pretty poor battery life .. cannot hold up a whole working day. What rom do you recommend for improved battery life?
For my galaxy s5, I found that touchwiz roms have much better battery life than aosp roms. Is it the case for the s4 mini?

The best battery life I can get with this phone is with the last stable release of CM 12.1, and with the last f4k kernel for this ROM. This kernel allows undervolting. I can use a global offset of 150mV for all the frequency without any sign of instability (I have been using this settings for months). You should also deactivate wifi, bluetooth, NFC and so on if you are not using it. Also, use the power saving mode of you phone. With these settings and an extremely low using of my phone (only sms/whatsapp), it lasts for a week. I also put it in airplane mode during the night to save battery.

You can also power off your phone to have unlimited battery life Oh, im just kidding. With average usage on cm13 i have 4h30m sot.
Is f4k's kernel compatible with cm13? Or do we have a custom kernel for that version of cyanogenmod?

Ahah you're right. I challenged myself to get the very most out of my battery . 4h30 is not a lot though, might be due to the early stage of development of cm13.
I haven't found a custom kernel for cm13 yet. The development of this rom started something like 1 month ago, so that's a bit early I think.
