[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Very hard to believe:) also with everything on and 3g too..that d imposible...or maybe you have the best reception in the world.

Or you were sitting in front of the phone doing nothing. That s the most probable thing you did. You have to post the full screen with all the apps used
[Galaxy S6 General] Madpiercing:
I wrote my usage patterns here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66004299&postcount=3758 . That SOT was hard to believe also for me and as i said it's the first time i get it. I can easily reach 6 hours if i use my phone continuously, 4 with lot of standby and low usage. I had an optimus one, a nexus 5, galaxy s2, tab 2, nook color and probably used some more i don't remember now and never had battery life problems. It all comes down in having luck with a good battery, treating the battery well not overheating it and charging it how is meant to be charged. Other things, if there are apps i see i don't use i promptly delete them, i debloated the phone from the installed app i don't need from day one, disabling them; stopped the background data off apps i don't need syncing and optimized the sync of google apps keeping in sync only what i need. This way, i can keep my wi- fi 3g and sync always on knowing that i don't have rogue apps that kill my standby. It comes all down in knowing your phone and your usage patterns. Obviously you can't keep wi-fi, 3g, sync, advanced features, google now, play games, watch 1000 videos, overheat the phone, install 1000 apps you don't need and keeping them installed, and then expect to have more than 3,5 hours sot. I'm not android guru but i become fairly familiar with the system over the years and i know what i have to disable and what i can expect to get more or less from my usage patterns. Try optimizing more. No need for root and fancy things, watch how you use your phone and keep in it only what you need. And know what you can expect, if you play games be content with 4 hour and half max.

I think the s6 battery and phone optimization is perfectly fine to get it through the work day and i don't think people should bash it like they do. To be fair, with stock lollipop i wasn't keen on the overnight standby drain, but then all i had to do was keeping it in airplane mode at night (don't need to read mails or make calls while i sleep). Marshmallow solved the problem, and now i think no average user need root and custom roms on a phone like this. But then, i also thought the nexus 5 battery life wasn't bad so...
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
I'm Italian too man.

I install this firmware and my battery is average.

Not good too much but not bad.

I have your same usage, my signal is good from 4 to 5 bars and my sot is 3.45 to 4.30 hours of sot.

Debloat everything i don't use.

WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and browsing is my usage.
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkNate34:
Based on experience.

Battery life lasts longer in the new Marshmallow update.

However, I've seen some websites claim 10 hour battery life for video playback. Trust me, I tested this claim. I used Greenify to close most apps (no they didn't restart back up), I put my phone in Airplane mode, cleared the recent apps list, opened VLC, started watching Episode 15 of Season 2 of Gotham (TV series) and I was using a pair of in-ear headphones.

By the time it was over, battery went from 100% to 60%.

This seems to be slightly better compared to Android Lollipop which would've usually gone down to 55%.
[Galaxy S6 General] Madpiercing:
Delete facebook and messenger. Enter into facebook from the browser. Nothing you can do from the app that you can't do from the browser (you can even answer messages from the browser and last time i used the app, you needed messenger instead for that. Go figure), and the browser is lot more friendly to the battery. As for messenger, i absolutely hate the bubbles coming out from nowhere and people stalking me all day long. I log on to facebook one time a day to answer messages. Friends have my number and can write on whatsapp if they want. If you use facebook apps a lot, that's the problem. Instagram is fine
[Galaxy S6 General] Madpiercing:
Battery life/type of usage claims from manufacturers are like the one car makers do for km/l of fuel: they are true in perfect conditions. Video playback battery drain depends on app used and type of video. I suspect an easy to decode video watched in the stock video app would make the battery last longer than that.

I think max 10%, but, custom has some with and there no mystical drains (ok, after 4 weeks of use I got one, but with stock was ~1 mystical drain per week).

So if your phone without warranty, I recommend install custom, if yes - when no custom.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] themagicalmage22:
SlimLP 0.14. Why?

1. No preinstalled apps or bloatware, so it's user-friendly

2. Near perfection battery life. After 8 hours of use, while playing games, it is still 60+%

3. Free 2.2 GB of Ram

4. It's only 300+ MB to download (with the Gapps)

5. No bugs (from my use)

6. 5.1.1 Android

AryaMod 8.1, if you need Stock Note 3 ROM (highly customizable). (You can select what Samsung app you want during installation) Xposed arter97 v75 works with Arya.

Bought note3 from ebay for 93£ with tiny (I hope) outer screen crack. I'll probably go with this recommendation if it will be compatible. I suppose lolli roms are still better optimized that MMs, but this might be subjective. It would be nice to hear other people opinions and rom recommendations.

you have an option to select Stock or Idle Kernel during installation. If you need battery life, select Idle Kernel for battery life. I used to get 6+ hours SOT in my Samsung battery.

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------

if you follow the instructions clearly, it will go good. You may need to flash stock ROM via Odin before installing Arya if you're coming from AOSP roms. and also flash BL and CP before installing the ROM. (everything will be in OP)

also if you're on the latest TWRP, it wont work. TWRP 3.0 and Aroma Installer conflicts!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] 09mysh:
looks like a good rom, but I can't manage to make the UI dark. I've tried layers, but looks like there is no layers manager. I'm also missing few other settings, but maybe I'll stay with this rom as it feels very smooth. As this is my first day with this device I would also like to try some other costum firmwares. Any Cm 12.1 based roms recommendations? I don't like touchwiz. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dazza826:
Is this the one you use as well?? - http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/slim-kiss-t3091848

I found after multiple roms that this was the best one by far. No bugs, no battery drain, and very stable. Other 5.1.1 roms were pretty good but had a number of issues related to either CPU not throttling properly, heating up, battery drain or issues with trying to install x posed.

Until I found SlimLP 0.14, I tried MM roms, but these had so many issues for me where to begin

Bluetooth was constantly awake and drained the battery

I think this is to do with a deepsleep bug when knox is tripped see - http://xdaforums.com/note5/general/test-marshmallow-deep-sleep-fix-tripped-t3319164

Bluetooth connections to my garmin required location services to sync and the device refused to sync unless it was turned on and it would disconnect as soon as it was turned off. 5.1.1 roms with the same watch and version of the app didn't require location services to be switched on.

Facebook chat re-enabler doesn't work with MM roms so I couldn't use an older version of the FB app with chat enabled before they added all the crap in and made it a separate app.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] themagicalmage22:
Yes. I have no problems with it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 09mysh:
update- Slim lp 0.14

I apologize for misinformation in my previous entry. I didn't know that layer manager exist as an app that can be installed from Play Store. Then UI can be themed with layers. But I would be carefully with them (backup current settings) as a lot of layer themes are buggy, so you can find yourself typing white text on white background in your sms application or browser. Anyway, if someone don' t like those white and bright setting menus, that is the way to make things dark (with some experiments). Great rom btw.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] L3Cache:
Hey guys and gals, can I just say that after installing this ROM, my phone was faster than it had ever been. But the camera recording was utterly atrocious with the video swerving from left to right. Have you guys been having the same problem? I've used several different camera apps but the result is the same.

Btw for anyone looking to install this super speedy ROM I recommend making a backup of your old OS just in case camera performance is important to you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 09mysh:
I still use this rom, it is snappy indeed. Never had any problems with video recordings. I am using stock and snap camera app. Maybe try to fully wipe your phone. Idle kernel 7.0 here- make sure you are flashing the right one for this rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] flight243:
Glad to find a thread with the question i was about to ask. I've been disconnected from the world of development for a while and don't know which ones are the best for our device.

- Is there any rom with a dark UI like the good 'ol stock 4.4.4?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] qwerty996:
is this thread alive?

I have the same question :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 09mysh:
I am still on SlimLP 0.14, you can make it dark with layers manager and various themes, but theming might require some experiments to get everything displayed correctly. Stable, and smooth with idle kernel, good battery life to.

I flashed Phonesis n7 on my girlfriends father note3, it is a really good rom to, I made it dark with some free samsung theme (you need to register your phone with build in samsung app first). It was a lovely rom, very polished and smooth.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rich6619:
Going to try this today after trying so many others. What version of idle kernal are you using and where did you download it from ? ( Links don't work anymore) Also what gapps are you using ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nabil01717:
MIUI

Currently you will be able to get MIUI 7 officially which is built on Kitkat. Very stable rom. 2 days of battery life if you use without mobile data (I am always connected with Wifi). I have tried a lot of roms but can't stick to any other due to high drainage of battery everywhere else. Only MIUI gave me a peace of mind.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 09mysh:
I've uploaded them to gdrive:

Idle kernel https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8CIPvMnqBF3TS1HWE1RMGdYa28/view?usp=sharing

gapps https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8CIPvMnqBF3OGExTTFpcWl4V28/view?usp=sharing
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rich6619:
Thanks! I actually went ahead and installed the following:

ROM: Slim 5.1.1 v 0.14

Kernal: Idle 7.1.0 (Slim Rom Version)

GApps: Slim Zero GApps 5.1.1 (latest version)

Root: SuperSU 2.79

My experience with this rom/kernal combo over the last 24hr's has been nothing short of amazing. Battery life is amazing (will post stats when I reach 1% , still at 65% with heavy use) and I have done no manual tweaking obtain this. Bluetooth, GPS are working just as good or better than they were on the latest stock TouchWiz. No stuttering, or slowdown issues at all either. I think I've finally found a ROM/Kernal to stick with.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] triad88:
Iam kinda curious to. But i have allways used cm13 temasek but is there a privicy guard to manage apps in it to protect user data?

Is not this rom (SlimLP 0.14) still in Beta state and never updated since last year?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 09mysh:
It might be in beta but it is 100% stable (at least for me, everything works)- more stable than some officially stable roms ;)

But you're right, no updates for it since beginning of 2016
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NMBNMB:
I am using Purify CM13 by [MENTION=2694538]mon@diac[/MENTION]. Its quite stable for daily use with fairly good battery life.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rich6619:
Yes, but very stable, great battery life and pretty much everything is working (gps, Bluetooth, mobilehotspot). Was able to get 6 hrs screen on time today with regular use and gps, Bluetooth enabled all day.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jackhanna:
Also been running slimlp 0.14 for about 6 months, now. I tried a dozen of other roms before this and I must say that slimlp is the most stable rom for the note 3. Consumes about 650mb of memory with about 2.2GB to spare. I have been getting 5.5 hours of on screen time with brightness maxed out.

Before this rom i was running phronesis 6.5 tw rom for 3 months. The most stable tw rom for the note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rich6619:
It actually kind of blows my mind how good this rom is and how I went through so many others before I found this one. Like I could care less about android 6 and 7 roms right now unless something this solid is released.

The only thing that would concern me is the date on the last security patch on this.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] drsandeshdahal:
Exodus ROM is the best in terms of stability and battery life.........
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rich6619:
I've tried exodus. Battery life wasn't near as good as slim and I got a few Random reboots.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Rony503:
In the end, what is the best ROM for the Galaxy Note 3? For the max. Battery and RAM.

Sorry for my bad english :p
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NMBNMB:
There is no end.....

If you are looking for the best rom, you will need to try it for yourself and find what is best for you. Some rom are stable, some rom are up to date, some are slim, some are battery friendly and some are fast. You will never get best of all the worlds, you will surely need to trade-off something and work on what is best for you and this is the only fact.
