Which custom ROMs will likely yield the best battery life on the MXPE?

I know, I know, YMMV. A similar question to this one was asked in late April. A LOT has happened on custom ROMs for the MXPE since then (thank you to the devs who continue to work on this phone). I wonder what ROM users think would yield the best battery life now.

most likely trupure or stock, with frankenclark and using the rephyp scripts

Stock gives the best battery life without significant kernel tweaking in most cases. Motorola at least got one thing right, they optimized the heck out of that kernel, too bad they used an LCD display panel that uses more battery than a few "normal" panels combined, nothing we can do about that.

As mentioned above, stock is definitely the best for battery life, but for me the gap has closed considerably.
In the last few months the CM based roms have gotten good enough that battery life is comparable to stock. I've been running AICP pretty much exclusively since August. Standby drain is a touch higher on AICP, but the difference is so small now that it doesn't make any real difference in how often I charge my phone.
I haven't spent any significant time on AOSP based roms recently, but they used to have pretty poor battery life when compared to stock. I'd lose like 10% battery just idling overnight vs. 2 - 3% on stock. AOSP might have improved a lot recently as well, because the CM based roms used to run that way too.

Which AICP ROM are you using? MM or N?

M when I wrote that, but N now.
If battery life is your primary concern N is a little better for me, except for an audio out wakelock I get. Streaming audio from Pandora or playing video in a browser tab and things like that keep my phone from getting back to sleep sometimes. Only seems like streaming does it to me. Playing local music doesn't do that. Takes a reboot to fix it. Not a huge problem once I figured out what to watch for.

With this phone, if you want everything to work right, and good consistent battery life, stock is the only way to go. No matter how much effort is put into the custom roms for this phone, there is always something wrong, and they require a ton of tweaking to get battery life to equal stock. So just use stock with xposed for customization for the best experience with this phone.

Yeah, battery life is the most important for me because of my heavy usage, but the problem with Stock & TruPure is that somehow my tether/hotspot is being tracked and it's limiting my speeds for that. On AOSP ROM's the tether/hotspot speeds are consistent with Sprint LTE. I have an average of 4 hours SOT daily and need to charge the phone 2-3 times fully a day on turbo charger.

If you are using a lot of data when you tether/hotspot, then you are not going to see any big differences in battery life regardless of ROMs or tweaks. Using a lot of mobile data via a hotspot, even with the screen off, will be heavy on the battery.

The only non-stock rom I have gotten good battery life, without having to do a ton of tweaking, is CrDroid. It has issues though, like taking 20 seconds to open the camera, and the stupid stuttering when changing orientation in youtube, that most of the custom roms have.

Why audio stutters when rotating display

The "stupid stuttering when changing orientation", if you are referring to the audio stutter, is because when you turn your phone in landscape to the right (with the volume buttons underneath) the Left and Right channels switch.
This "feature" Motorola put in Lollipop and then pulled out by them again in Marshmallow, it can be disabled by a simple edit into build.prop
Code:
ro.audio.monitorRotation = true, false
Or you could delete the whole line. Note that reflashing a custom rom zip replaces your build.prop file!

It doesn't happen on the stock rom, so it isn't a problem

I use AICP 11 or Resurrection Remix 5.7.4. I can get over two days on a charge. I don't do games or Bluetooth. Just mail, text, browser and music. See attached screenshot.

Custom ROM's are Ressurection Remix and CrDroid to give you the most battery (i don't know about AICP, never used it)
Stock ROM still gives me the best "user experience/battery life" since i don't mind recharging every night, but i get home with something next to 35%, then i "watch some videos/play some games" to get the battery down, till i go to bed it gets to something like 5%, then I leave it charging through the night
ps: not sure if it makes any difference, but i charge it with the 15w turbo charger that i bought in a Motorola Store not the 25w that came in the box, it heats to much with the 25w one, no heat at all in the 15w version

I've noticed the phone heats up more on the 25W charger, but it is nice in a pinch. I just charge in the evening with a 15W charger and go through the night without charging. I keep my 25W at work (for those slow days in which I watch movies/shows).

EMUI vs CM 13

I want to hear the experiences you guys have with emui vs cm13.
At some points i always wonder if i should flash back to emui because of a few bugs and problems so i wanna hear a few experiences to see what you guys think about it.
- generally speaking i would love to hear what you like in comparision to the other
- how's your battery life, usage experience, how you think about the current bugs, etc.
- are you thinking to change rom to emui or to cm13 and why?

cm gives a more stock experience compared to emui, better battery life. unless youre going to update to emui 5, cm is better

With papsi ROM everything is fine by battery life is miserable with an outdoor brightness and mobile data on (only few hours).
Speedo; very descent battery life , zooming is fine but video recording is not, still buggy and finger print not working
Till now I think the best available firmware is stock but if speedo_thc managed to get his ROM as functioning as papsi's he will be the best daily driver for me.

papsi's isn't that bad on battery life for me. i get two days usage with constant bt connections and a few messengers push. you will have monitor wakelocks and stuff to optimize as much as possible though.
i am using
- amplify (no donate)
- greenify with xposed + root
but have 3 messengers, email and android wear on push at all times.

Cm notifications fixed emui not

cm's will always break after few months of heavy using, stock wont. sure cm has more customizeable tweaks and in some cases better battery life (never in my cases). evey device i have tried cm it always starts randomly rebooting, lagging and eats battery like hell(hahe had this issue with multiple devices). i prefer stock base and then rethemed to whatever you choose.

Currently, no custom rom is stable enough for daily use. I still love the EMUI camera and the finger print gestures. I will stick with EMUI 4 for now hopefully until custom roms are more stable and fully functional.

I've used papsi's rom for a few weeks as a daily. So far the only downside to me, is the battery life compared to stock emui.

Papsi's cm13 is better than stock EMUI on almost every points except the battery. I'm using his rom since he published it and it's pretty stable but the battery life can be a deal breaker. Some optimization would make the rom great for daily usage.

I agree with you, i would use his rom but the problems with the camera and battery life and the phone getting too hot when playing games or watching videos is what keeps me on EMUI since i never had issues with notifications.

Custom Nougat ROM Users! feedback needed

Hello Guys ! After reading up about the issues with the Nougat Official updates i wanted to give custom roms a chance.
However , the experience with Custom ROMS over the years have made me realise , Battery backup is never the same on a custom ROM compared to the Stock firmware.
Can people who tried out different ROMS and Kernels , suggest which rom or ROM+Custom Kernel combination gives Stock like Battery performance ??
Eagerly waiting for you replies so that i can get flashing..
Thanks in Advance
Your help is much appreciated

In every Nougat custom ROM battery is almost the same as stock. You have simply to choose the best for you.
I personally have AospExtended with Optimus r21 and I'm happy with it

Any specific Governor settings in the Optimus R21 kernel ??
And do you use dual sims in 4G ?
Any other Misc Settigns you do ?
What about the Standby time and SOT that you generally get ??
Thanks in advance BRO

I prefer "sis" eheh
Anyway, my kernel settings: BIG cluster max freq set to 1.6Ghz instead of 1.7 (I don't need any overclock), min freq to 345Mhz and Little cluster max to 1.1Ghz and min to 499Mhz, both clusters on Optimus governor. I left the other settings to r21 original.
I have a european single-SIM device, so no...
For the rest, all il stock, I haven't any battery friendly script, I believe in my Moto X Play, I don't want to mutilate it.
In Wi-Fi I reach 8h of SOT, I can stand 2 days without charge it in normal use. In LTE mode, almost 5-6 hours if I go out with a normal use, I can't tell you with a heavy use... when I'm out I don't use the phone so much also I have a tedious mobile radio active bug (that seem affect only me and maybe a couple of other users, I'm investigating) so previously in LTE I reached also 6-6.30h of SOT

I am on Aosp extended since it's version 3.3
Right now, I'm on version 4.3
No custom kernel.
If SOT is what you want to know, for me it's between 4 to 5 hours.
Dual sim with one on 4g and second on 2g.
Data remains on whole day.
Extermely stable. Just like stock MM.
If you don't want to use root or themes, maybe it will be more stable for you.

I'm on Resurrection Remix (Official) and has some little bugs in the movements on locked screen (camera and led torch don't work as expected). Another thing is if u open camera by lock screen can't close it (navbar is blocked), the way is re lock the phone and then get to the pattern screen again.
The SOT is about 3-4h on 70% time in WiFi and 30% mobile data (4G/LTE)
About battery in general there is some screen shots: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_XlbO-BACx0bmRHc0R1dDcyQ3M
I will change my ROM because the dev (GtrCraft) discontinued the RR (see his message on the post)... So I think it's hour to test another.

Thanks a ton K.Khiladi.. those stats are impressive ... I would try this rom for sure..
My usage is mostly erratic... I am in office fro almost 7-8 hours when the phone just lies dead in pocket and when office is over i use phone services like location data and what not .. So basically i needed a ROM that has minimal drain while in the pocket and good SOT when i use my device actively for short burst of periods.... I know its always a trade off between SOT and Standby . Thanks for your advice

Standby is minimal but after flashing make sure you go to settings - battery - - battery optimisation and check that every app is optimized.

So, I flashed AOSP Extended last night... It's the best so far (just tried two ROM's yet), no bugs found by now. The torch light and camera movements works fine and I liked it.
When I completely test it perhaps make a review (maybe post here in XDA, if rules accept it).

The standby drain is okay for me.
A tip is go to the system settings > "Extensions" > "System" > "General Tweaks" > "Suspend Actions"
Then enable it...
My settings are:
Screen off delay: 5s
Screen on: 5s
Switch to 2G: Enabled
Disable Mobile Data: Disabled
Disable GPS: Enabled
This is doing magic in standby and the best part is enabling this don't make u losing any notification, they work fine here.

Aicp 13.1 , Maybe you can try stay on stock setting for few days I heard people say it's pretty good.
Another option is if you want more battery use Kernel adiutor to lower cpu max speed down for big and little core. For Aicp 13.1 there is guide from the dev (Mosimchah) on the first page of his kernel tread how to tweak for battery or performance.
LineAge 15.1 also coming together but less customization with stock kernel but it's good too for battery/performance. If you are not on your phone all day should have enough battery.

The best battery life will be with AOKP 6.1 their no ROM better!
The higher you in android the worse your battery life will be I have tried every one.

The original stock is still the best, but you are asking about ROMS.
AICP 13.1 (Oreo 8.1) is by far the best battery life for all the ROMS out of the box that still gives you proper notifications. In the past I have had to install greenify and other power saving tools. I do not have to do that with AICP.
On average I am getting 0.7%/hour drain when screen is off. Screen on time average is around 7 hours.
The ROM is still in testing stages, but it is pretty close to release.

Why is there still no perfect rom.
I tried all of them, none of them fit me ...
I do not want to disrespect the developers.
Aicp and omni are too slow for me. I feel like I'm using a medium and an entry-level phone when I use the device.
The paranoid rom is too fast.
But I have problems. Fingerprints do not work when I'm asleep. I have to try it all the time.
Lineageos aicp and omni talk too bad. (At the time of the call)

I have seen results similar to yours depending on my usage. However, averages are much more realistic than just one time results. I have attached an image of mine over 26 sessions.

Results can different with different users but I have used every ROM plus I have experience in kernel hacking .
I should said I'm not running stock kernel it came with.
Why don't post over night sleep usage mine will go down 1% to 0% 8 hours.
You can't get that in 8.1.
My performance is the same to 8.1.
I miss flew thing that 8.1 has but I'm good performance and battery newer is not always better.

Most roms are similar for functions, for Android 8.1 people like new stuff and the crazy hyped about it. For me personally I just want to try Oreo, want to know what it is like to use it. Aicp 13.1 and LigeAge 15.1 work very well, battery is plenty if you are not on your phone all day.
For battery, it means to be use/discharge that's why phone have it, how long it last just depends how you use the phone. You can't really get two days battery life with Sd820/821, you can get it with Sd625 like Redmi Note4 with 4000mAh battery. Most people carry more than one phone with them nowadays I think so no problem.

Aicp 13.1 is my preferred ROM. Graph starts at 60%. Only mobile data used, and cpu is set to 1.4 for little and 1.9 for big.

@Ace42
Performance at Aicp is much worse with hele CPU underclock.

- You need to install rom via TWRP recovery. I am using version 3.0.2.0

- make a full backup of existing rom and modem via TWRP before flashing new rom
- i installed my new rom through a usb drive using a OTG connector. Works best for me

- i am also using this modem configuration as i do not get dropouts and has good signal coverage

Hope this helps. Please give me some feedback. Enjoy!

What's you rom and kernel combo?

Would be interesting to see what people are using as their daily drivers. As I got my pixel 2xl not too long ago, I'm using latest havoc Is with Wahoo-ElixirKernel-V4.8. but will switch soon to something else

Stock. My flash-a-holic days are behind me. Especially since SafetyNet and the cat and mouse game that brought.

Me too...

Havoc and its kernel (Caseum, I believe) are what I stick with most, but I occasionally try out Colt OS and Bootleggers. Havoc has the most customizations hands down, although Colt is a close second in that regard. Colt does have a ton of built-in themeing options, which a lot of people like, but I always use the default light theme, so that's not a reason to stay on Colt for me personally. Bootleggers feels like Havoc but missing enough of the options that I like that it becomes annoying over time.
Currently, I'm running Bootleggers and Kirisakura kernel. I'm trying out Bootleggers again because people claim it's got better battery life than Havoc, although last night my phone lost 9% battery overnight, which is more than I ever lost with Havoc and Caseum. I did just flash Bootleggers and Kirisakura yesterday, so maybe they need time to "settle" in as they say. We'll see.
As far as kernels go, I don't ever make adjustments to them, so I run them with their default values. Honestly, running them as they are out of the box, I've never noticed any difference between kernels, stock or otherwise. I've never felt like I've gotten increased battery life, more smoothness , better RAM management, etc. from one kernel over another. I'm sure they are difference in them, but in my day to day actual use, I can't tell a difference.
I too ran stock for the first year with my 2 XL, but after having ran the afore mentioned ROMs for the last few months now, I couldn't go back. Stock is far better than it used to be, but it's still missing a lot. I'd end up having to flash 5 or 6 different mods to get what I wanted. That can get messy and confusing especially where two mods conflict with one another in some way. These custom ROMs have all those mods and so much more built in, so it's just easier.

PixelDust and Sultan kernel

For those of you running havoc, what's your battery life like. I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong but my battery drains like mad. I can't make it through half a day of work as opposed to stock that will still be over 50% late in the evening long after i leave work. This is with battery saver enabled
AND powersave through kernel manager enabled as well. II don't browse 0or use my phone during work much. All 8 use is Bluetooth to listen to music.
There is also an issue with the screen taking forever to unlock. From fingerprint or just hitting the power button. The screen stays black for quite some time. I've even had moments where I've had to hold down power button and fully restart the phone because it was taking so long. Really inconvenient when your trying to answer a call.
Just wondering if those running havoc have encountered these issues or if it's just me. Love havoc. Used it on my OnePlus and I want to use it on my pixel but those two issues kill it for me. I've tried every single new update since release and I've asked in the havoc forum but haven't really gotten much input back. The couple things I did try still didn't resolve either of those issues. always have to revert back to stock.
Any tips?

Sorry to hear about your experience with havoc, on my side havoc is giving me great battery life. I've been using my phone for about 2.5 hours and still at 75%. Did you check on your battery stats what's eating your battery? There maybe a APK that is running in background

I flashed stock and didn't think to check that first. Battery is an issue bit nothing that plugging in my phone won't fix. The screen unlock issue is what killed it for me.

Stock Pie + Elemental X 2.19. After trying several ROMs with mediocre results, I stuck with stock, added only Elemental to it.
IMO all these custom ROMs fails right after installing for different reasons, Havoc i.e.

Running Bootleggers plus Sultan with zero issues on Verizon.
