Root kit Kat vs jellybean battery life

[sntaylor]

Just a minor note......

I've tried out a few different kit Kat Roms thanks to multi Rom,I don't use my nexus nearly enough so I'm only going by standby time and battery life on KitKat just isn't cutting it!

4 nearly 5 days on validus 6.0 got me down to 20% where a jellybean one I had ages ago and never removed, got me 11 days and only down to around 50%

Any ideas anyone? This is kit Kat Roms with hardly anything installed

Check out Paranoid Android. I left my device sitting on my dresser for 4 days and it was still above 90% battery.

It is really smooth, lean, and fast.

Cheers, I'll give it a go

I'm finding 4.4.4 worse than 4.4.3 for battery lol! Is that possible? (custom rom/kernel, not stock

I mean sometimes ROMs change drastically between updates, could be something to do with that, or perhaps the Kernel.

Tried changing kernel so I guess it's the rom. I know they totally reworked it for this version plus it's a blind build.. :beer:

Still to give pa a go, but I've tried a couple 4.4.4 Roms(hadn't really tried any until I realised we could use multi Rom and how easy it was) and on the nexus it's given poor battery, while my s4 has been superb, given me 4 sometimes nearly 5 hrs screen on time, compared to 3-3.5 before

SlimRoms or PA are always a good choice.

I know the latest PA is really good with battery life for my usage

Slim Kat was just as bad as the rest :-(I'll just keep my jellybean one for battery in standby, but KitKat ones for performance ;-)

Did you try Paranoid Android?

I have it on mine and the standby time is fantastic.
