The best kernel for battery life

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.

Best kernel for stock rom?

I prefer balanced battery and peformance. Please advice. Thanks
All kernels work differently for different people. Try a bunch and see what works.

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.

Best ROM/tweak for better battery life on Nexus 4

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?

Personal opinion. I can tell you what I get with mine

Not another thread like this again. Everyone's device will yield different results. We all use our devices differently. A particular ROM/kernel combo on my device will not yield the same results for someone else. There is no best ROM/kernel combo that is best for battery life. Try out a bunch and find what works for "you".

Best kernel tweak settings

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.
