Arrow Battery usage check on current ROMs: Please post your battery drain here

Battery usage check on current ROMs. Please post your idle battery drain in this thread. We're trying to see which is the most efficient ROM. We'll try to aggregate all the results from different users.
  1. Your device should be unused for 2-3 hours for an accurate reading.
  2. You can use THIS app or any other app of your choice to make battery readings.
  3. Make sure your Wifi and BT are off during reading.
  4. Make sure your data is active during reading and set on 3G/HSPA mode.
  5. Best time can be during night when your phone is not charging.
  6. Please give the reading in % used per hour.

Although that's a very nice idea it would be really difficult to extract safe results.A lot users don't know what services/apps running on background.What about widgets?What about settings on various apps?It's not the same checking weather every half hour and every 12 hours.Also some areas are poor on 3G signal so results will vary a lot.I propose for better results the following:

1. Roms installed just the way devs give them, no other modifications/installations except the program which measures battery drain.
2. 2G network settings with data transfer off.
3. Battery drain measurements over night at least 6 hours, 8 would be best and user should calculate his results e.g. 4% in 8 hours so 0.5% per hour.Calculating wont be that easy though, usually you'll have something like 4% in 7 hours and 23 minutes.
4. Battery should not be fully charged at the start of measurement, usually the ones that have a lot charging cycles drop quite fast from 100% to 95% .Under 90% is fine i think.

So conditions must be very specific otherwise it won't be fair for the roms makers
