Battery drain on all custom roms - Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers

I'm new to Xiaomi mi max 32Gb. At the moment, I'm running MIUI 9 global 8.2.24 beta and the battery life is fantastic, 11 hours of SOT, but every time I flash a custom roms the battery drain is crazy, 5 hours of SOT. I have tried a couple of custom roms but it's always the same. I get about half of battery life in any custom roms. Is there something that I'm doing wrong

same as mew , more SOT in miui than Other non miui custom rom.

You should install:
-greenify:Restrict background apps activity
-app opsisable (location+keep phone awake+kee app in background) for all apps
-betterbatterystats:shows you what drains the battery
-run battery saver mode
-install custom kernel

when i first bought this phone and used miui i charge every 3 days. with custom rom and greenify, every day. so up to you. u want long battery or custom rom

Which costume ROM's?
Stable unofficial LineageOS (nijel8) out of the box gives 11~12h of SOT while stable global MIUI 9.5.2.0 gives 5 to 8 h SOT.
This is normal use without heavy gaming of course.

I tried stable unofficial lineageOs nijel8 and had only 5 sot, also tried pixel experience and was all the same with 5-6 sot then went back to MIUI 9 and I'm back to 11 sot

Well obviously you did something wrong. With more costume scheduler settings people where getting & up to 17h of SOT (but that whose with rather extreme approach) on unofficial LineageOS 14.1 with light usage all well documented on power/performance thread. Had a guy with similar problem as you around month ago, his problem turned out to be a binary leftovers from dirty flashes of different costume ROM's. After he did it properly thing's changed. The name of user whose arbitrarygrill, read couple of pages back.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3529851/page436
& you can always get more with costume scheduler/hotplug script's. Prime concern whose to match good old MIUI 8.2 - 8.3 SOT out of the box but with much better performance & without MIUI limitations (background apps/services aggressive killing) which we achieved in all arias mostly by working on kernel which Xiaomi never did & it's a source of most firmware problems today. Fun part is that 90% of back supplementary settings & libs are the same today; Xiaomi uses CAF settings & libs across the board (same as our unofficial Lineage is) and unofficial LineageOS uses the vendor libs from MIUI aside from ROM (apps) side only general difference is the kernel for which I vouch that our works much better & is safer.

Kernel is already semi costume, only a couple of things are added that are really beneficial as FIOPS IO scheduler & are set as defaults.

Freedom OS 2.8, bluspark kernel. wih 4g heavy usage, giving me 4-5hrs SOT constantly. and in wifi/light usage , 7-8hrs SOT always. Loving the current setup.
Pheonix AEX by itself... has a great kernel and easily gotten 9+ SoT in the last two battery cycles. Has all the customization you'll ever need built in and has the best OOS camera port. Just give it a try, it wont disappoint.

I'm running the unofficial Pure Nexus ROM with its included Sultan kernel. It's good in my opinion.

Thanks guys. I will try Vertex Now, I have EAX Phoenix, but it's a bit laggy...

Well, reduced small cluster max freq by one step. Rest all as it is. Agressive doze is OFF. Somehow feels that keeping it ON drains more. /Contradicting/
Tried naptime initially, but with and without it, the duration is more or less the same.
I am also looking for a great ROM.
Is official Resurrection Remix the "best"? It has all features of the other ROMs?? Good battery life and stable??
Official kernel?
Or are there better ROMs or kernels and if yes, which are the advantages?
---------- Post added at 11:42 ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 ----------
I personally don't know, why to use a Oxygen OS based ROM? I think, it has no features and not much customization and nothing great? Or am I wrong?
xXx no limits rom with bluspark kernel is a beast. Camera is my priority especially video recording and no other rom could suffice that. Very stable ofcourse.
Rom has inbuilt performance tweaks and is super snappy. Ofcouse I tried plenty other roms especially for camera, sulan's rom phoenix aex rom and many more , they manage to take good photos almost as good as OOS but none of them could match video recording smoothness of OOS especially in 1080p 60fps. Tried and tested a lot. And with my usage I easily get around 6 to 7 hours of sot with excellent performance.

I think AEX is giving better SOT compared to RR .. my blind guess is that RR rom size is 600MB+ where as AEX is 400MB+ that could be the reason AEX is lite weight with minimal bloatware and consumes less battery compared to RR just a guess
I'm using lastest chinese rom 2.5.412 with LTE and WIFI both with normal using chating & browsring & listen music
Stay with zui only as it gives 7 + hours sot with lte on n regular use
I am back to zui.
Satisfied with sot. Usually I get 6-7 hours with 1-2 hours gaming and rest usual use.
Nothing against custom roms. They are awesome but my work doesn't allow me to invest much time fixing bugs when they appear.
That made me shift back to stock.
I'll post sot screenshot next time.

I have heard custom rom SOT is very less when compared to the MIUI. So didn't find it very appealing. I there any way where i can get the same SOT as MIUI in the available custom ROM ?

Lmao, who lied to you bruh? I easily get 10 hours of screen on time with aosip. With havoc I got 13 hours once, but i had good coverage and I was reading ebooks on my phone. Besides masik I find Miui to be trash in battery life, i hardly get 8 hours of SOT. On masik 4.1 i get between 8 and 10 hours. Of course it depends on your usage, but usually you can get more than 8 hours on most aosp roms.
Edit: i used to get around 12 hours of sot with miui 9, but neer on miui 10

Use Havoc OS 2.0 [Official] and flash basic kernel in it.. been using that combo for over a month and it gives nearly 9 hours of SOT

best custom rom for battey life

Hello all
Note 5 is on offer in the UK for £99 so i've bought one to use as a high capcity mp3 player to take on holiday. I will be using it as a offline media player in aeroplane mode and perhaps the odd phone call.
Is there a better rom for battery life?
Still fairly new to this but have rooted and installed a custom rom on my old g6 plus, which I now use a hi fi server/chromecast audio remote... it seems that Xiaomi's are a little more complex though.
Any advice appreciated!
I recommend AEX Official 6.5 Oreo Firmware with Basic Kernel. Best battery backup for me.
Here are the links:

I couldn't find information, apart from the battery life what are the differences between Aosip and Aosip derpfest?
If it's just for playing music offline and a phonecall now and then, why don't you try miui first? I get 10 hrs sot on latest pie.
I wouldn't suggest pre installed music player though.
If your device is new, any rom will give you a good battery life, I use Whyred as a secondary phone and I can easily get 10-11 of sot with any rom/kernel (the device has 3 months, the battery is practically new), so don't worry about that, use the one you like the most, it will work well.
With one thing and another it's taken me two days to get the bootloader unlock started and now I have to wait 7 days! Will the thing actually unlock then?

Again, what?
Do you know that battery info is stored inside the batterydata of the kernel dts and it's R/O?
Batterydata of PE kernel (The important here is "qcom,nom-batt-capacity-mah").
Rom info, CPU-Z and Ampere, If your apps have bugs, blame the apps not the rom, I'm sorry, but your previous statement doesn't make any sense.
Also, you can make a cat/grep of the battery info with any terminal app.
Funny, my phone is locked, I not use any custom Stuff. I'm on the latest MIUI 10.3.1 with Stock Kernel and Android 9. I have 18% left and have already over 9 hours of SOT and my phone is 7 months old, with daily usage.
Here the Screenshots

Battery comparison as of 02.Jan 2021

So first of all, happy new year everyone!!
Compared to stock rom, does the battery life fares better with the custom roms released so far? Did you get more SOT hours with a custom rom compared to stock rom?

Up to rom and kernel.
Some can get 9-11 SOT with stock rom and custom kernel.
Custom rom usually add more SOT. I can reach 14-16 SOT hours easily with no gaming. And my normal daily usage is around 10 hours.
I used device from July 2020.

I've been complaining about battery drain with WiFi on for a long time. If you search the forum you'll see my nagging.
The problem started either with MIUI 12.5.x or Android 11. MIUI 12.0.x with Android 10 Custom ROMs don't have the WiFi battery drain.
I haven't tried Android 12 Custom ROMs yet, so I don't know how the battery is with it. Currently I'm using the latest version of https://crdroid.net/begonia/6.
I need at least a few more days to be sure how it goes.

MIUI 12.0.x doesn't have battery drain with WiFi On, but I can't stand its interface.
Using an old version of a Custom ROM (MIUI 12.0.x based on Android 10) is an alternative, but be prepared for SafetyNet to be broken.

Well, I haven't used any phone with their stock launcher, so maybe that's why I don't mind it. And stock miui 12, with a nova launcher, and some pixel themes from the store does makes the phone ui overall better

After using this for a while the WiFi battery drain doesn't happen on this ROM.
