battery life regarding custom roms / kernels

[The-|joker|]

i've just bought the oneplus 5 a week ago and i am very impressed with the phone so far but i want some help regarding battery life i'm getting mostly 6-7 hrs of SOT on OOS which is very impressive but i've seen some people here getting like 10 hrs of SOT i'm not a heavy user i mostly use the phone for youtube and music streaming services such as spotify and i also use facebook,snaptchat and whatsapp also my phone is always connected to wifi and i don't do any heavy gaming on the phone so can anybody recommend a good battery friendly rom and kernel which would push my SOT up a notch i've seen in some posts that the lightning kernel with the spectrum app helps alot but i really don't know


i've tried to attach some screenshots of accubattery to show my usage and battery health but it's not allowing me to post links or images it's the first time i make a thread and also i never go past 50% brightness if anybody could provide any suggestions for me i'd truly appreciate it thank you

For me at least, it's hard to say. I know this might not be the answer you're looking for, but the best thing in my opinion, would be to just flash a few ROMs and see which provides the optimal features+battery life for you.

My usage is going to be different from you, so if I say "X" ROM gives me 10 hours of SOT, that may not hold true for you.

Even though you provided some info on what your usage is like, I'd still recommend just flashing and testing out yourself! I feel you'd get the best idea by experiencing ROMs out there first-hand, rather than others recommending what they use/is best for them!

For what it's worth, I'm currently on the Unofficial version of RR and it's been fantastic!

But no Bluetooth on that ROM..

The Rom itself is incredibly smooth.. Like really, really smooth.. ? But no Bluetooth is a deal breaker

If you are encrypted then Bluetooth media will work, just not Bluetooth calls. For me, Bluetooth calls is not a deal breaker, and I think the dev is working on a fix for an upcoming build; don't quote me on that though lol

Oooh I see.. .. I was trying to get it to work with multirom and no dice T__T

Thanks for the information

Franco kernel is geared towards battery life rather than phone performance. I've honestly never been a fan of his kernels but a lot of people swear by them.

I got 10hrs + SOT with Simple GX kernel and xXx No limits Rom.
I've tried boeffla , lightening and simple GX kernel.
Simple GX has been the best till now.
