Hello guys. I would like to hear some suggestions regarding this. So far I've tried CM7 and emanoN, but both of them drain like hell (specially CM7). Please avoid usual recomendations (turn off data, bluetooth, wireless and all those basic tips).
If there's an app, script or tweak that helps, please share it with me! My priority is battery life, above everything else.
Hope to get some replies! Thanks in advance

Skipping all the basic tips, I suggest you use a pure source-kind of rom. Something like the MOre rom or Pure CM7 by mebitek or kittenlinux, another one is GingerMod. Battery lives one those roms are so far one of the most cheered for. CM9 Beta 7 also had incredible battery life, although the link is probably gone already as mirroring is not allowed by Maclaw. As for the scripts, some mini users find these annoying and just a piece of cr*p, but as for me, I really made sure that it wasn't just a placebo effect. SlaidyBoost v2.3 works well and am happy with the performance and battery life boost that comes with it.
Don't forget to press Thanks if I helped!

That one was originally made to improve battery life when you use wifi most of the time for browsing the net or such, but I can see that other tweaks have been added for an overall change, and based on the comments there, some users found their minis slow down a bit. Although I haven't tried it yet, it's best if you would simply flash the rom you chose to use, boot it up and set up the settings you want initially, then reboot to recovery, make a backup of that rom, then start experimenting with various scripts found here in XDA that is compatible with our mini. If you don't like the results, then simply restore the backup you made earlier. I'll try that script you told me about if I have the time, though.

Stock samsung rom has the best battery life. But, on official CM7 with 604MHz for max, 122MHz for min and ondemand cpu governor, i'm having good battery life, can't complain at all. Haven't tried stock rom for ages, maybe my current setup is even better

Thanks man, but I don't think CM7 is the best option when looking for long battery life. I'm going to try de stock based ones and decide if any of them if better than the actual stock rom. Andro-ID, emanoN and GingerMod are apparently the most popular ones. Regarding the others, MORe is discontinued, so I wouldn't go for it, same as the one from kittenlinux. I'll give CyanMobile and mebitek's a try too! Trying GingerMod right now.
CM7.2 is draining battery fast because at default it's using Lil'GV2 governor which is veery agressive regarding CPU frequency! When you set it to ondemand it's much better. It costs you nothing to try it out if you haven't, stock rom is just too ugly and slowish when not rebooted regulary

Installed GingerMod (smartassV2 governor) and overnight battery dropped 35%. That is definitely not normal, and happened with the other ROMs too! Can anyone help me identify the problem?
Edit: BTW, the phone is two weeks old, and when I first bought it I didn't experience this huge drain.
