Nougat rom with decent battery life? - G3 General

I've tried maybe 5-6 nougat roms based on LineageOS along with a few different kernels, and battery life is far worse than on the marshmallow roms I've used (last one was Dirty Unicorns). Unfortunately, I don't any battery stats right now, but I regularly check battery stats on GSam and SOT and stand-by/doze is definitely much worse now compared to the marshmallow roms I've tried. I've played around with different kernel settings etc, but nothings has helped really.
How has battery life been on nougat in your experience? If battery life has improved with nougat in your case, what rom and kernel are you using?

Nougat battery life is about the same for me as it was on MM(@4.5-5 hours SOT on average).
I use Tesla with the included(stock) kernel. Here's a link if you wanna give some AOSP/non-lineageOS based ROMs a try...

Holy crap, 4,5h SOT!! Really? And that's with a standard 3000 mAh battery? Thanks for the tip, will try that rom. Could very well be that non-LineageOS roms have better battery life on nougat.

4+hrs of SOT on a 2013 phone is kinda ridiculous, unless you are reading Word files with everything turned off. I cant see anyone averaging that while using reddit,twitter,facebook,youtube, etc. Im a heavy user and i have 3-3.5hrs of SOT.

Na... 4+ hours is normal with location off, running on wifi, underclocked to 1958Mhz, using auto-brightness, a new battery from 2016, and using greenify to kill apps from running in the background. Of course, if I was on LTE watching youtube videos all day my battery wouldn't last as long, but that's not how I use my phone.
3-3.5 hours SOT is still pretty good, especially if you the Facebook app. That app is a notorious battery killer.

4-5 hours SOT here too. Same time with MM but now I'm on the AICP rom for my ls990 using standard kernel and clock speeds. Wifi, BT, and network data is always on. Only mod I'm using is a thermal pad on the SoC. Then again, I'm on my 6th battery so I'm not sure if that makes a diff.
At one time I had Facebook installed and it's messenger app. Together, they dropped my SOT to about 2 hours. Now that's ridiculous and offensive. I only use the Facebook website through the web browser instead, and that restored my SOT to 4-5 again.

I suggest you try facebook from Hermit, it brings down the data and improves battery. I tried it 8 months ago and im not going back.

For those getting +5 hours of SOT, what are your current ROMs and kernels?

Also, how's performance for you?
I'm running a build of Exodus 5.1 with the boeffla kernel, and I'm getting around 3 hours SOT from 100% to 0% battery. That said, I have it set up in a way where I have zero lag (not using performance governor) and I'm getting 76206 on Antutu. with. I've also got Greenify and Amplify.
Just as a side note, how is your charging? I'm getting around 200mAh in (from my best cable and charger) boosted to around 650mAh using boeffla settings. Isn't that a bit low?
Atleast for me and my OPO, only the original charger and cable gets reconized as AC Charger, everything else i plug in as USB Charge, thats why the chip is force values around 200-650mA.
Boeffla Kernel can show u that, if the app says "Ac Charger" + a mAh value then u'r good, if it's not and just shows only a mAh value instead, the Cabel and Chager are reconzied as USB Charger therefore the IC Power Chip limits the throughput.
Sultanxda's 5.1.1 caf rom. Can easily bit 6-7 hours sot. Stock kernal
Before switching roms you should try wakelock detector and/or better battery stats to see if something is keeping your phone awake and killing your battery.
I don't worry too much about benchmark scores, focus on how your rom runs for everyday usage. Performance is just fine for me, but I don't play any heavy games on my phone though

Stock ROM and Boeffla Kernel, 6 hours of SOT with a battery friendly configuration (light undervolt, small underclock and balanced governor), but performances are still great with no lags. However with the stock kernel I never went below 5 hours, which is already a great result
used to have 8h SoT on KitKat. any lollipop / MM rom gives me max. 4h.
Darkobas best battery for me. Around 6 hrs. Then Herna's Omni and RaCyan: more than 5hrs.

slimsaber 0r Omni 6.0.x and sultan CM 13 06/12. CM 07/12build all giving 5+ hrs SOT for me.
I got about 5.5hrs on data (mostly LTE) yesterday across about 14-15hrs usage.
Sultanxda CM13 rom. Everything stock. No greenify and amplify and stuff. Turn of keep awake and wake up for google play services.
recently switched back to kitkat after realizind nobody was gonna fix the sitty battery life on 5.x and upwards. Not regretting my decesion. Bear in mind this is a one and a half year old phone that has seen daily usage, almost half of it was on 5.x, waiting for a battery drain fix. When it didn't come, I came back to 4.4.4 and I'm happy to say my battery is still healthy (was a bit worried all those months running a battery draining rom would have strained my battery). Cant tell you anything about charging since im using stock kernel on official CM11S with a stock charger, other than the fact that it charges really fast. Performance is so good that i decided to try and undervold (to 1950~) and im seeing no noticeable difference. Device is nice and snappy. I'd wholeheartedly suggest a switch to kitkat for the time being for anyone that wants to max out battery usage.
Note: These screenshots were taken after only the 2nd battery charge cycle so the battery still isnt calibrated all the way. After a few more charge cycles, i could probably get back to what i was used to on kitkat in terms of battery life: namely 8h screen time.

My phone running on stock COS12.1 and can get around 7-8 hours of SOT with WiFi in 1 day usage. On 2 days usage SOT 5 to 6 hours. But on Mobile Data I getting a 4 to 5 hours of SOT. For charging I using Apple's wall brick from old Ipad and original OPO cable - 0 - 100% in less then 2 hours.
Sultan cm13 nov build. Getting constantly over 5hr sot with LTE. Standby time 12-16hrs.
Disable the wakeup for google play services.
I'm on sultan's 01/01 cm13 build. Currently have 1:43 sot and am at 78%. Was at 92% after upgrading. So that's 7.357 minutes per 1% battery, or 12.26 hours SOT. Wakelocks are not an issue here because this is continuous use on about 30% brightness, wifi and lte on, sync on, Web browsing and YouTube only (no gaming). Completely stock build with no power saving bs. Sultan for president!
TLDR; depending on your useage, 12 hours SOT on cm13 is possible.
4.4 with cm11s
I've never had more than 2 hours SOT with any rom (stock, sultan's caf, exodus, and others), do I have a battery problem?
5,5-6h SoT with Fusionjack's SlimSaber 6.01 which is based on OmniROM Sources. I'm using this ROM without any modifications, like custom kernel or xposed, neither i'm using things like greenify or similar. I've just tuned the power profiles to save battery while screen is off and limited max cpu frequency to 1958MHz to prevent heating. I'm using Facebook+Messenger and WhatsApp, which are by far the biggest battery hoggers and running Google Now with on Tap with GPS at hight accuracy the whole day. So the reached SoT is absolutely nice. Calculatory that would mean, without Facebook, WhatsApp and deactivated GoogleNow and GPS i could easily reach 8h SoT, but i prefer the comfort over the battery life, coz that's why i'm having such a smartphone.
Sultanxda CM12.1 rom w/ the kernel it comes with. With LTE/WiFi mixed use all day, getting 5-ish SOT and 24 hours battery life total. Installed Greenify but have it limited to hibernating 3 apps only. Likely going to fool around with profiles to see if I can squeeze an extra 3-4 hours out of it.

Hi, I'm running the same setup as you, I was just wondering about the level of screen brightness you are using? Is your phone running on full brigthness, 10%, 50%, 70%? And are you using apps like greenify, nap or anything similar?
I'm getting good battery life with your setup but not as good as you. My screen brightness is always set to full and I'm sure that could drain my battery faster. So I'm just curious to about what level of screen brightness everyone is using approximately to get these kind of great screen on times. I'm just super impressed and hats of to you and everyone who achieves this lenght of usage!!

I got best battery with Darkobas, but my best is around 6. It depends on alot of things: your battery, your signal, your usages... I think my battery is old and the signal here is weak. So you can only compare to your battery life with other roms, other kernels...

I definitely understand that and the factors there is. But I was just wondering if those who are receiving 6+ SOT have their screen brightness turned down or if their screen brightness is fully turned up.

Best Kernel setup for battery life

Hello XDA members. I've been struggling to get a good battery life. My aim is atleast a day of usage along with a minimum of 4 hours SoT. Currently on XtreStoLite 3.3.1 Rom with Arter Kernel (SM-G920I).
If you search for a thread called 'Galaxy S6 battery is insane', you will notice some tips, and the op is mentioning getting 8 hours of SoT.

Idk how is this possible, implying that it generally is. I'm on my own self heavily debloated stock (basically as light as XtreSto but the base is the latest one) with arter kernel 21.0 (best release imho) and I get 3.5hrs SoT average. I use Greenify and got rid of ****ty apps long time ago - talking mainly about Facebook.
The thing is that nobody even posted a screenshot of this ridiculous SoT score so I can hardly believe it.
That's there. However, I could see 2 screenshots of 8 hours and 10 hours of SoT. Might be a screenshot from some other phone
man 8h sot or 10 h sot is impossible. And dont trust all you see in the battery threads.
This phone is capable of maximum 6h 30 sot on wifi with light usage..i mean reddit ,xda
4h sot with heavy usage.
And 3h on 3g
Dont expect any more.

It's just impossible imho with qHD and 2600 mAH battery combined
Okay. Another suggestion.
I'm on XtreStoLite 3.3.1 Rom. Using stock kernel, Greenify, DisableService to increase battery life. Any other suggestions? (If any app, please give detailed settings ). Thanks
I had 7.5h SoT on 5.1.1 full stock without much tweaking, so this is completely real. However this is 2g+wifi. On 3g and lte I can hardly get 3h on any ROM
How the F can you achieve 4h+ on Samsung S6??? I'm new to S6, tried atleast 5 ROMs and 2 kernels (arter and nogeek) and by any chance I didn't get more than 3h SOT ...
Interactive (Max. battery)(underclocked)(undervolted) + noop i/o + HEBF app = 4h sot on 3g. 6,5h sot Wi-Fi for me.
@edit
Ahh i forgot.. +GovTuner
Okay. And any kernel suggestions?
On G920T i'm using firestorm for better performance. Twisted/arter for better battery life. I think it's possible to get 7h+ sot on wifi.

Thanks for this thread. Went with xStreSoLite and arter 21 kernel and so far it's looking really good. Atleast 4h+ SOT looking to be.
Well. I'm finally back to everything stock. Just have the EZ Disabler app.
How's Arter 22 vs 21 vs Hacker Kernel ?
Combination of WiFi on(75%) and off(25%).
I think you can tweak and flash all you want. The main reason for drain on the phone is the brightness. So just turn it down as low as you can (I am on auto and about 1/3 of the brightness slider). Like this I get around 4 hrs of SOT, depending on where I am (autobrightness). If I start turning the brightness up, it just sucks up my battery in no time. So I think all this flashing and especially undervolting and underclocking your chip don't do much except maybe slow your phone down and make it instable. And all the time you spent on the tweaking process, you might as well have used otherwise. Don't get me wrong, I also used to do it, just because I could and because I liked it, but looking and it now, it just wasn't worth the time. Just close your background apps from time to time, disable and uninstall those you don't need, use an appropriate network speed (you probably don't always need LTE) and turn down the brightness.

^ Basically this
I currently use my phone heavily with Xtrestolite 3.3.1 (Android 6.1) with the following:
Kernel: Arter97 kernel(interactive)
Google: MicroG to replace Google Play crap
Apps: Amplify / AppopsXposed / Greenify / Titanium Backup
With most crap uninstalled/frozen SOT-times vary heavily depending on brightness and use, for example I use Snapchat and Instagram a lot so I need to SEE what happens on the screen without putting effort in it which in some occasions forces me to tune up brightness.
Most likely if I were to use 5.x Android instead of 6.x it would decrease overall battery use but my phone is currently running smooth so I don't want to go through the hassle to get that working.
I don't see why you all are not getting good battery life. This phone has awesome battery life.

Share Battery life and performance

Guys please post you battery life and brenchmerks on nougut and marshmallow so that we can decide which one is better. Some people experiencing poor battery life in nougut. Share screenshot of battery stat and gsm battery monitor and other battery monitoring app. And sorry for bad english.
My rom is stock nougut. Cell standby 2 percent. Phone idle 3 percent. Screen 14 percent.
Screenshot is bellow.
No screenshot on my side but for me the Nougat update has revived the phone: much better battery life (+1h SOT I would say), run cooler, less stutters, smooth scrolling in chrome, fast wifi connection and all the nougat advantages. I haven't seen bugs apart from the system UI tuner that resets itself.
I am running 100% stock, took the OTA when it was offered to me and made a factory reset.

I'll try to remember next week, I switch back to my S7 for the weekend.
Getting almost 4 hours of SOT on my 8 months old device.
My device is 14 months old and I use dual sim cards, mostly I'm on WiFi.
I get 1.5-3 hours of SOT generally. I generally have to charge my phone 3 times a day.
Stock nougat
Only using WiFi
Mostly browsing and videos on YouTube.
Getting 4 to 4.5 hours of sot.
I manage to have 5 hours SoT with android stock funcionalitys only. I am doing test but i maybe i will create a teadh latter to explain how to get more SoT.

Here are my screenshots. I was mostly on WiFi during the day, did a lot of reading/browsing, a little YouTube, and gamed for around 30 minutes. Before I would have needed to recharge mid-afternoon and was getting 2:30/3h max SOT a day.
I'm extremely pleased with the update.
After doing a heavy tweaking of the phone without root i managed to get more than 5 hour of SoT. After that i was getting an unaceptable 3hs SoT.

which is sthe smoothest rom for battery life?

Hi, I didn't find a Q/A thread so I ask here.
I came from a rn4. I loved to use Los ext, it was one of the best rom for battery life. Now I am with miui 11 stock and debloated (I removed almost all ****), but still I m having a battery drain. In fact tonight it used 5% of battery in less than 8 hours with wifi and screen rotation only. I think it's too much!!
I red that some people can last their android battery up to 3 days with 4 hours sot, and I was stupified.
So which is the best rom at the moment for rn7, looking at: stability, smoothness, battery life, gaming, customization?
Does Mi app like themes, fonts, etc are removed normally in roms, and if yes, do developer create their own menu in setting for these things?
Who is using the Rom that will suggest me, which SOT you get and how much battery drain do you have in 8hours sleeping time with wifi only?
Thank you a lot! ?
When system running ok i got always the same sot on each rom i tested.
Stock Global, xiaomi.eu 10 and 11, pixelex 9+ and LOS16.
in each rom i mostly get 2 days with 6-7 h SOT.
battery drain over night in flight mode only 1-2%.
no big differences in the Roms for me.

That is still way too much for such a big battery ESPECIALLY in Airplane mode. It should NOT drain a single % of battery during more than 12h of idle, where as right now it can hit up to 10% for me, which is just unacceptable
For me, my phone doesn't lose any single percent of battery in 12h, in airplane mode

There are actually massive differences... IMHO one of the best ROM's is not even on XDA. https://os.revtechs.me

It seems that rooting and using Roms on this phone is pretty useless on the battery side, because nobody talks about 9-11 hours of sot using roms.

Rooting is absolutely no problem and who ever presumes having 9-11 SOT is simply hallucinating... 7-8h is realistic... I don't even want to imagine how sad individual lives are being staring at a phone 8h out of a 24h day...

A good stable rom for battery backup?

Hi all
I thought I'd ask the experts about what are in your opinion some good roms for battery backup?
I'm currently on stock MIUI Global 11.0.5.0 (PFGMIXM) but I'm not much satisfied with the battery backup (5-6hours SOT).
I need some stable firmware since I use my phone mostly for work, no gaming, no social media, just phone calls, messaging and some light youtube usage.
Thanks!
Ion OS is brilliant, especially for battery - sourceforge.net/projects/i-o-n/files/device/xiaomi/lavender/ Around 10-11 hours SOT.

Miui right now just being laggy and jerky sometimes with animation, thus pixel based cutom rom just some having like miui and some is dont. I prefer evolution x on latest build, which smooth operation per my multitasking usage(on stock kernel obviously), whilst the battery just doing better other than resurection remix, pixel experience etc.

Could you be more specific about how long the battery lasts, I mean that if you are using your phone for like 4-5 days then 5-6h of SOT is quite normal for this phone but if you meant just one day then it should be about 10-11h of SOT as there will be less energy consumed by things like cellural network.
I had pretty good battery backup with POSP by AmulayaX but i found out that slow-motion isn't working so i switched to StagOS (unofficial EAS by Jimgsey) and i like this rom but i have some small issues and i consider switching to official.

5-6h SOT in 2 days. I'm not playing games I only use my phone for calls, whatsapp, emails and web navigation.

I could never achieve 10h SOT in stock. Any hints for some good rom that can do that?

Someone already suggested you to try Ion Official for Redmi Note 7 as it is EAS & feature rich also. But for more you can try Bliss ROM as well. Last but not the least LineageOS 17.1 Official. I'm currently using Bliss ROM. It is the best in all others upto now i have tried.

U can't reach 10 h SOT by 2 days on battery.
Calculate 0,5 %/h idle drain
2 days 48h - 5 hours Active drain = 43 h idle time
43 x 0,5 = 21,5 %
so round about 20% battery is lost in idle time
so 80 % for active drain.
Charging battery at 15%
80-15 = 60% left for active drain
On mostly all roms i tested i get an active drain by 10% per hour
Wud be for u 6 hours SOT
Seems normal drain with ur MIUI
But aosp roms are so much faster and mutitasking so much better compared to MIUI.
I only got 3 GB model and there no way back to MIUI
I gave PixelE+ a try but I'm experiencing less battery backup than stock (and some random freezes too).
I'll try ION or Xiaomi.eu in the coming days.
Meanwhile what about changing kernel? Any good recommendations please?

for me changing kernel isnt a game changer
its all about SOT, screen brightness for sure and good working deep sleep.
Screen is biggest power consumer.
Kernel maybe change covernor and undervolt cpu. sure this brings a lil power. but trust me it makes just a very lil differece. u cant compare ur drain because ur usage isnt same.
if wanna judge a kernels power consumtion u have to do all the same.
watching 2 hours youtube, play same game aso with same screen brightness with same wifi state aso.
i bet theres no "big" difference.

I'm currently on Pixel and I can make 4h SOT in 2 days. I don't play games or use YouTube. Just phone calls, whatsapp, browser, emails and I'm always on dual sim.
With stock MIUI I used to reach 5-6h SOT in 2 days so with my personal usage Pixel is worse in battery life compared to stock MIUI.
I'm thinking of trying something like Xiaomi.EU now since it's based on MIUI stock...
As i say, for me there are just few differences in battery life from rom to rom.
Miui is slow and bloated compared to non miui based custom rom.
When u just installed new rom u have more drain cause of trying out the rom. U have more usage compared to ur old rom. Lets get rom settle for a while before judge.
At least all rom take power. All rom need display. I think display always takes same power in every rom when u got same brightness.
At home in ur wlan mostly watching YouTube u get better battery (maybe under 8% per hour drain maybe less) than navigating in the sun with mobile data (cost 12% per hourand more) battery

I'm with you however I'm currently on Xiaomi.eu 11 (debloated) and battery backup is much better than Pixel. I hit 6h SOT on the first run, expected to improve in the coming days after a few charging cycles.
Same usage, the exact same apps running.
