Which kernel are you seeing the best battery life with?

I wanted to start this poll in an endeavor to get the most battery life out of our precious Nexus Ones. I threw it in Development specifically so that Devs could use the information derived off here to make improvements. I'm on Enoms ROM which seems to get the best feedback around here for battery life.

wrong place my friend.

If this is the consensus, mods - please move with my apologies.

Pershoot didn't make the list? If it wasn't for him there wouldn't even be a poll

Pershoot kernel...

I'll put money down now there won't be much of a consensus. Too many variables. My sig shows what is best for me. Diet K 850 AVS. Others I know will say either it was too unstable or they had terrible battery. I had terrible battery with Stock N1, and every one of Modaco Desire Alphas thru A21. Just my 2c

I accidentally voted Ivan when i meant to vote intersectraven avs

pershoot. how come it's not in the list?

Tell me about it! Most everyone's kernel uses pershoot's work in one way or another... not a knock at all, by the way... but to exclude pershoot from the poll is like not including cyan in a poll of who makes the best cooked ROM, or Modaco in a poll of best Desire ROM.
And speaking of Cyan, why is he not on the list either? cyan kernel is the basis for a lot of kernels as well.

Sorry guys. I didn't include pershoot because AVS should have better battery life. Have you guys TRIED AVS? I can't edit the poll.

ya most have tried it but it doesnt like alot of cpus so give pershoot some love!!!

AVS being better than the regular is theoretically correct. As you may have read in the description of all AVS kernels that they come with a disclaimer that it may or may not work. I tried AVS kernels a bunch of times and never worked for me. It's at an expermiental stage - much like dalvik as of now.

lmao... OP said "our precious".... not knocking you OP but come on thats funny

Which is the best custom ROM/Kernel with Froyo so far?

Hello!
Currently I am using JM9+ Raspdeep OC/UV kernel with Voodoo b4 support and I believe this is the max option for Eclair.
Would you be kind to suggest me the best possible option for step ahead to Froyo? Which ROM, Custom Rom and Kernel are best in work together?
Which LagFix, and Kernel are best for Froyo?

JPO+SO_zImage_opt_ext_root_JPM-JP6_V3_6??maybe

pointless
IMHO, useless thread ... every Rom as its advantages and disadvantages. It's really up to personal taste to choose the best one.
Sorry the comment, I know its a open forum and people have the right to express them selfs yada yada yada... but can't help stop noticing the amount of garbage hanging around this forum, making it difficult to find useful stuff .
And - off record, but on topic anyway - people, learn how to search pleeaaasseee... It's really annoying read threads with 1001 questions about the same subject, which results on 2002 posts if someone cares to help. You are only making it more hard to find yourself the answers!!

I agree with lunasea... Pure personal taste... Some ROMs have the GPS issues partially fixed, others are more stable, others have stuff which we don't use or need. Depends from person to person...
As far as lag fixes are concerned, that too depends on user. Almost all lag-fixes are amazing and the xda-devs have done a brilliant job in all of them, so it is really unfair to say even one of them is bad... they are all good. It depends on perception and the feel of the phone in your hands. Enjoy ur phone!!!

your mum is the best custom rom i mean have a go at DOC'S ROM.

Just IMHO,
If you want barebones + modular get Doc's v7.5 ROM.

True.. But only for some months. I have to say, came from winmo htc forum and although there were many duplicated posts, I find this forum much worse. Using doc's rom and find myself many times trying to catch up the thread reading countless times the same thing over and over again...

Not trying to be rude, as I stated theres no such thing as best rom. As overwhelming it might seem, there's no other option than try it yourself.
Nevertheless I can give you this hint: most active threads usually means more users, meaning more testing and more stable and support from rom cooker [EDIT... lmao].
So start trying roms that are on 1st and 2nd page of the forum.
happy flash

[KERNEL][4.6.2011] Thunderbolt Kernel By Ziggy

For those familiar with Ziggy's work, he finally compiled a kernel for the Thunderbolt. It is a beta kernel so there will be bugs, so test it out. For reporting bugs please comment on his website. I am in no way affiliated with Ziggy, just wanted to spread the news.
Will try to update as much as possible.
[Removed Link] Mod Edit

Loved his kernel on my Evo. Thanks for the heads up.

Fantastic. Ran a number of Ziggy's kernels on my Inc and was quite pleased. Can't wait till these get refined.

2 new beta kernels up on Ziggy's website today. ziggy471.com

been testing these for a while now. AWESOME is the only way to describe them lol

Wow this is blazing

What are you some kinda angry nerd? You tend to get better explanations about PHONE questions on a PHONE message board. How each effects a PHONE vs Linux....
Take a step back and stop being an angry phone nerd.

To cut it short,
BFS is generally faster, but has its hickups when multitasking.
CFS can be a little lower in quad scores (which mean nothing in my opinion) but do better on multitasking.
I prefer CFS, its smoother to me.. Try em both, it depends on what you prefer and what your phone can handle

Nikolai2.1 - thank you very much. See how easy that was? Instead you guys decide to insult and argue, taking up MORE comment space.

This thread is becoming funny. Guys, even if you want people to search, please be polite. No point being too challenging. Many people ask simple questions because they want to hear answers in laymen terms. Please be kind - you were a noob once too.

Actually I disagree. A well researched article will give you or anyone else much more info than 10 people expressing what their opinion is on the topic.
Also he did not only google it for you but he posted the link for you as well. I also did not see him sling any names at you.
Maybe a Thank You should be in order.
It might also be noteworthy to address that this belongs in the General Section not Development.
Good Luck

You either speek Greek for some reason,or we Greeks are much more common than I thought.
Anyway,yes,we've all acted noobish at times,but there are two types of noobs as I have said elsewhere:
i)The "I want to learn" noob,who is the good noob and the one to be deprived of his noobishness quickly and once and for all.
ii)The "I'm an ass and think I deserve it all" noob,who is that typical idiot that asks the same question that was answered two posts above his.Number (ii) is the plague of every tech forum,not only XDA.
Being a noob isn't bad by itself.The problem is which noob type you choose to be.

[Q] Best battery life kernel/ROM?

I recently got the galaxy s3 and gave my s2 to my sister. I have been a long time lurker here and have put man android versions on my s2 but before i have it to my sister I put the newest version of 4.0.3 on the s2.
she is now complaining that the battery life sucks, so I am looking for the best kernel/ROM combo to increase her battery life. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612881
Wrong twice...

Im not going to suggest any one rom or kernel.
I will suggest you look in the roll up sticky thread for the list of all stock firmwares and check out the frankenfirmwares. Pick at random, use a battery monitor app to check your usage over a week, then flash something new. Let us know how that goes!

well seeing as it is not my phone anymore i cant be trying out firmwares for a week. I was looking for peoples experiences and was not expecting such an unhelpful userbase. forums nowadays are really going downhill...you guys and head-fi are both becoming ridiculous.
