To be honest with you, as much as I'd like to flash a rom, the battery life I'm getting on stock has kept me from it. I'm literally seeing double life than I was getting with my S3 on custom roms.

Coming from where the wind begins.....
You have to try out KNOXRAID. I just flashed the jelly bean version and here are my results in the first full discharge... About 20% better than stock (which I posted above).

ive tried so many of the roms out for our note 3 and the ONLY one that has given me any kind of good battery life was the jb version of knoxraid.
good luck

I've only tried this one and I think you're right! Definitely better than stock, getting at least 7 hours screen time consistently!

yeah same here. ill unplug my phone in the morning for work (6am). and by the time 4pm rolls around im anywhere from 65-70% battery on knoxraid 2.6 (jb version) ive tried dynamic, kitkat, firenote xnote, knoxraid 3.0, azure rom, and not one of them gives me that kind of battery. it kinda sux tho because some of the other roms are pretty kick ass but battery life is important. ive even tried different version of roms "updates" which state that they have battery updates in the changelog. but nothing compared to the KNOXRAID v2.6.

Battery life has been good on mine so far. Make sure to turn the always on wifi scanning off! Made a world of difference for me.

You should tell people how to do it. Wifi> advanced> uncheck always allow scanning.
I had totally forgotten about this. But even without if off I was getting 18 hours of heavy usage, no wifi and on lte. This phone, even without turning stuff off has the best battery life I've ever experienced from an android.

That's some high media usage. I'm running the same rom with same screen and up time with 81% left. Maybe issues with an external sd?

Possibly, but it was also the first day on the ROM so there was some syncing going on...

I'll compare after a few days to see.
