Battery life on Different Android versions

[[email protected]�]

So, I've been a long time user of LOS14 (7.1.1) ,
Performance seems pretty snappy and battery life average ( considering the age of the device )

Quite a while ago, I had given RR6 (8.0) a shot, and to be honest the battery was a nightmare.. And the phone did heat up quite a bit, so I decided to switch back to LOS14.

Stumbled upon XDA after a while and saw Dev on 9 and 10(LOS), was wondering how the battery life is on these versions if it's comparable to 7? Or still a nightmare like the Oreo ROMs.

I've tried a few Custom roms on my Moto G3 X1541(Osprey) and found some(Can't remember them all) did eat battery time.

I've settled on Lineage 16 Android Pie and also been testing Lineage 17 Q10.Both give good battery and smaller footprint than Stock Roms.

With both ROMS you can reclaim some Internal Phone memory by forcing apps to install,where possible,to an External SD card in the Developer mode options.


Android 10 is missing things I like or some things aren't working correctly.Battery notification percentage not working in Notification area.No FM Radio(tried a few others and couldn't find one that works.

Both PIE and Q10 from DroidThunder are working well but PIE wins for me and rocks

I'm sticking to PIE as it has everything I need working well including single swipe to clear all recent apps and Back/Recent Button swap which I like as I'm right handed and like my Back button on the right.

Note:I keep 3 Nandroid backups on my SD card so I can load Stock/PIE/Q10(Lineage 17) anytime I want.


Note:When I install a custom ROM from scratch I do a Factory reset before loading and also after it's been loaded just to be safe.This has reduced any problems significantly.
