I prefer balanced battery and peformance. Please advice. Thanks
All kernels work differently for different people. Try a bunch and see what works.
-Brought to you by Marino's Nexus 7-
Franco kernel lets you overclock the gpu to what ever you want (416-750 and anything in between) so with that in mind you can create your own balance of battery vs performnce.
You cant overclock cpu but honestly it isnt needed.
Also with his latest release r25 th whol devive is much more responsive. Touchscreen etc.

I'm on stock. I can't deal with sods. It's fast and battery life is good.

What is the ROM with the best balance of stability and speed. Want a fast ROM,but still needs to be my daily driver.

I've been hearing wonders of the bugless beast, I'll flash it and get back to you on that. Aside from that, I tried glazed jb,, that was quite smooth and stable, and most of the cm10 ROMs are almost, if not over capable of being a daily driver IMHO. If you truly want speed, look at the motely, faux, and trinity kernels, I've also been hearing great things, I can testify on the motely kernels speed.

How's motley with glazed ROM...I currently running glazed 1.1.2.

Back to you, the bugless beast is super stable.
And the motely kernel should work brilliantly with it, but be warned - the higher GPU over clock, the more battery drain
Edit: the glazed jb ROM already uses the motely kernel, but if you want more battery life, flashing the kernel without the GPU of would boost your battery life

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?

Can someone please recommend a ROM kernel combo for great battery life.
Thank you

Any ROM with Trinity Four kernel will have good battery life.

AOKP steves PUB build , with Faux Kernel and ECO mode turned on
Faux Kernel has a pretty good battery life. Didn't try another Custom ROM though

I used Faux before I switched to Trinity. I thought battery was pretty good on Faux, but people convinced me to try Trinity and it has even better battery life than Faux. Give Trinity a try

No it can't but even with 4 cores on, I still get amazing battery. What kind of battery are you getting on Faux? You have a quad-core monster, why make it dual-core when you can keep it at quad-core but have great battery life?

Yea dont get my wrong, i dont use ECO mode that much, only when i go out and i know im not gonna be near a charger for a day + ... otherwise i get around 5 hours screen on with all my stuff happening and a few games,
i will probably go to trinity one day, im really waiting for him to release that display app that hes teased!
I have only used AOKP with franco kernel and have been getting great battery life. May try Trinity or Faux to see if I notice a difference.

I can confirm this.
I know with the SGS3 some of the bigger kernels were ktoonsez and lean kernel. What's good for the Nexus 4?

Pa kernel colors are great so as the battery life!

I've been using Matr1x kernel for quite some time now. It's the best I've used. I've tried Faux and Franco and those didn't work too well for me. Try them all out though and see what works best for you.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Franco's latest kernels have been very battery friendly. They're amazing. You do kinda sacrifice (albeit super tiny) performance though.
If you care about performance more, try Motley's. His kernels are reasonably battery friendly, but doesn't sacrifice any performance.
Trinity and Matr1x are my preferred kernels due to their speed and overall stability.
Battery go for Franco.
Hmm. I think I'm gonna try out Franco. I'm on the go a lot and battery life is a bit more important to me than performance. I wish the nexus 4 was more than a 2100 battery...

Yes to be honest Franco's kernel is the only kernel I'm confident with when I go out LOL
must say though the hunt for kernels has been remedied by google, for me at least. their 4.2.2 is insane. im getting 21.800 in antutu without touching the clocking frequencies. im getting 1-2 days of use and still 4-5 hours screen on. its reliable, it wont crash or screw up otherwise and best of all i dont worry about it, at all, its enough for me to settle and think of kernels no more. only thing that really bugged me on this plattform were the colors. but thats solved now. if you wanna try: http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/mako/ start with contrasty and see if you can live with the brightness, that one has probably the nicest colors that can be possible with this panel.
I'm an indecisive **** in general that uses data to make some decisions. However, there are so many options on the Nexus 4 that the data is getting me overwhelmed (should have seen my spreadsheet before I deleted it), lol.
So, just wondering what other folks use if you primarily game on your phone?
I will say I keep finding my way back to slim, at the sametime though I don't really feel like it's the one so always end up flashing a couple roms.... Then coming back to slim, rinse and repeat 10 times a day.....
You can use any rom you want for looks and customizations. For kernels you should try Trinity kernel by Morfic. It's great for gaming and everything else.

I have tried Trinity, not sure my phone likes it (fast bin) as it seems to run extremely hot for me.
Carbon + Franco
Personally I use carbonrom and matr1x kernel with overclocked GPU. This combination has run perfectly for me. So much that I have not even thought about flashing anything else for the best part of a month which is very unusual for me
