can someone suggest me the best kernel for battery life? i don't want to change the rom, just the kernel. stock rom already good for me.
Kernel has mininmal effect on battery life. Main factor is peimarily usage and screen on time.

Closed, there is no "best" kernel, rom, phone, whatever, there is just what suites you best.

All about the battery life has anyone tested these three kernels in detail.

Because of the slight variance in hardware on the Shift its very much a YMMV situation. For example, everyone raved about bcnice's kernel how it gave huge gains battery life, but for me it gave me the worst battery life. Before Nightly #88 ScaryGhoul's kernel gave me the best battery life.
I'm using newest miui

What are people seeing for the best combo of ROM and kernel for best battery life. If under volting what are your settings. Also what CPU settings?

Does anyone know a stable ROM that can significant increase the battery life on the Nexus 4? Right now I'm stock, and battery life has been terrible and doesn't even last me through the day. It is also very slow to charge on the included charger, but seems to charge faster on a Kindle Fire 1.8A I have.
Thanks!

The custom kernels in the dev section offer decent battery life.
I'm a wifi user mostly and I get @5.5 to 6 hours screen on time with lite gaming and browsing (this site all day lol).. i do Undervolt by a total of 150mV too... I recomend Harsh's kernel personally.
Underclocking the CPU is not worth it imo because it just makes other cores go online quicker when more power is needed... though it may help a small bit.
other usual tips..
use low screen brightness
turn off google now
turn off gps location
only sync stuff you really use, turn other syncs off (i have just gmail,contacts,browser synced)
turn off nfc if not using
make sure to use the open recent apps button and swipe away all apps when putting the phone down for a while (this really helps with stock kernel because of the wakelocks)
edit.. also after a week or so of charges the battery gets better.
Mpdecision is killing the battery. Try Franco kernel or faux.

I'll give Franco kernel a try. Can CyanogenMod increase the battery life in the Nexus 4?

I'll start things off for you...
It all depends on what you want out of your phone. My set up is for battery performance so I've got omega rom v3.1 teamed up with kt-sgs4 kernel. Under volted by 50 across the board, under clocked when screen off and some smaller tweaks to help eek more battery out...
After full day of use with wifi, bluetooth, gps and air gestures on I've still got 48% battery left...
But equally u could use the same set up for performance if needed by changing some kernel tweaks like screen off mhz, Overclocked cpu and gpu etc etc

What's the best recovery?
I could give you a link to the one that works best for me but it'll probably brick your phone.

Ok. I have echoe rom v2 with its latest kernel.
I want good battery life but also good performance. Should I leave it all as default, or get a kernel tweaker? If so which one, and whats a good governor to use that won't suck up the battery? Also what about min and max cpu settings?
Many thanks guys.
