Battery Life

Not working for "them"? Or for you? Of course they do not work for everyone. They also may work well for one ROM but poorly on another.
Well I was curious how kernels worked for others. Sorry.

No two phones work the same. I've had my S3 for about 2 weeks and have run Stock-rooted, and e few custom roms. I have 4 email accounts-pushed, 10 screen widgets, and always texting, web surfing, etc. I'm currently at 14 hours with 49% remaining. When I work in spreadsheets, and use a a reader, (usually 2 hours each) I still get 14-16 hours, no matter what rom/kernel I've been running
You just need to find the ROM and kernel combo that works well with your phone. I have tried ROMs/kernel combos that some get excellent battery life from but mine is horrible and vice versa. Keep testing as it is a trial and error type thing. Also your kernel settings can make huge differences. What works for one may not work well with your phone. Different settings on the same kernel may net you excellent results.

I have noticed battery life tends to vary wildly depending on ROMs and even people. I guess I don't use my phone all day long, but on a TouchWIZ 4.1 ROM, the app "Battery Left" (from Play Store, its free) reports that I can get up to 46 hours on a full charge, based on my typical usage patterns (and if I use Greenify). On the other hand, I have used an AOSP 4.2.2 ROM in the past (such as LiquidSmooth), and Battery Left will tell me, after a few days, that I will get about 25 hours on a full charge (again, with Greenify). I have to do more testing, but there is definitely some difference between ROMs and battery life...
I read this thread & thought battery life has as much to do with what's running in terms of synching, background data, services, connectivity etc.

I am using one of the unofficial CM11 ports that is supported nightly and have been getting terrible battery life. I hate to ask the question which is the "best", but what would be a good kernel to flash?
I do not do much heavy gaming either. In fact, I do not do any gaming. Just casual browsing.

Well before I suggest any kind of "good kernel to flash" I want to make note of something. If you're running a nightly of an unsupported version of CM11 then don't expect great battery life. This has little to do with what you're doing on the phone but the purpose of nightly's is to have users report bugs. Many of these bugs are the kind that can drain battery rather quickly. So the first thing I'd do is find a stable AOSP rom to run on before thinking about kernels.
That being said, a kernel universally accepted as "good" is KT747 by Koonsez
Thanks for the reply bud. I personally like supporting the nightly versions of ROMs but I wasn't thinking the reporting that I do is causing that much of a battery drain.
I may consider today to go to a stable AOSP ROM that isn't nightly.

I have been flashing ROMs now for the past 4 years. I have never really got into the nitty gritty of anything specific but probably best I do. One question I had in regards to all these ROMs is, do they not come with their own Kernel which I would have assumed is the best recommended for the given ROM. When i see battery life of 14+hrs with room to go, I must be doing something wrong.
Thank you for any info in advance.

1Am I the only person who notices that all these battery save kernels aren't working for them. I flashed CM and I have been getting amazing battery life (13+ hours) with moderate usage, but with leankernel for example, I only get 9 hours max and my phone heats up a lot.111
