Default Best rom base on battery?

Can anyone tell me the best rom and kernel combine that would last at least 8hrs moderate use. For some reason the milestone 5 and r156-384mhz doesnt seem good to me. Im only going for 6hrs.

What is your screen on time? That is the major factor in how long your battery will last. From what I've seen, most ROM/kernel combos won't net you much more than 3 hrs of screen on time with the standard battery, maybe 3.5 hrs depending on what you're doing. Extended battery gets something like 3.5-4 hrs screen on time from what I've seen.

Setup a Development Environment
Setup and Use the Android SDK
Stock Odin Restore files

You can find the answer to all of your questions right here. If that doesn't work, then try this or this

What everyone above said is correct, the screen on time is the big player in battery life. Also, changing your kernel can impact battery life a lot. Try a few if you are unhappy with your current one.
Phone: Nexus 4
ROM: Paranoid Android (Jun 15)
Kernel: Franco's r156
Recovery: TWRP 2.5.0.0

I'm using Bamf with James Bond kernel. Perfect combo.

Screen on time of about 4hrs but also important the deep sleep only reduces my battery by 0.2% per hour. Most roms tend to be like 2-10% screen off which leaves u less power for screen on.

Btw I use wifi and hdspa on all the time. And sync always on.

And I do use my phone :)
