Hey s3 mini users, i just want to ask a quick question about battery life. So recently i have tried many custom roms (CM11, CM12, vanirAOSP,Dmodv6 and alot more) but i have a problem with my battery life. Roms that are AOSP based like CM11 has horrible battery life (2h screen on time with 10% left). However if i used samsung stock rom based custom rom, the battery is a lot better, i get 3h+ screen on time with 20% left over. So my question is, is this normal for my phone to have bad battery life on AOSP roms?

wow, how do you get 4 hours screen on time? i used greenify b4 but doesnt do much.
sorry i missclicked. i get about 2,5-3,5h screen on time. depends on task what i do. if i read much in dark i sometimes get like 4h.

im just using a clean setup, maclaws CM12, with not much apps (i dont need much) & all is grennified which has the blue cloud. only whatsapp runs in background, no mods/tweaks.

Have you tried cm 11 before? If you have, is the battery life on cm 12 significantly better?
i dont tried cm11 because of lack of time. cm12 is enough for me. stays a day or 1.5 up for me depending on usage.. i attached screen of heavy use on day, see screen on time. im on newest cm12 from maclaw

what, thats amazing battery life. I tried both cm 11 and cm 12 but my battery life just sucks. Theres no wakelocks draining battery but the only thing i noticed is that when i download stuff (play store or on internet) my cpu just clocks to max ghz (1ghz) and stays there until download is over. Is this normal or what? cause this is the only thing i can think of that could drain my battery. So confusion :confused:
