[Q] Which is the most Performant MT4G Kernel?

Hello, first of all this is my first post and thread. I have read the rules and searched for a similar thread. I am not stupid and I know how forums work. Now my question is: Which is the most performant kernel for the MT4G?
Know to be more specific, I am looking for a kernel which a very high OC and UV rate. I want something that can easily manage clock speed when it needs it the most. I am interested in genereal boosts of speed, higher I/O managing speeds, better gaming experiences and a longer battery life. I know that the kernel doesnt do all of that but it has a major impact those aspects. I am running CM7 nightly 144. Im hesitating between Faux123 Cm7/AOSP 2.6.35.13 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113697) and thederekjay 2.6.35.13::demonSPEED INSANITY kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113554). I appreciate anykind of constructive feed back

I personally use demonspeed-insanity. It'll clock up to 1.8 atm. Couple that with the SMARTASS governor and you get a pretty decent balance of battery life to performance.

can't go wrong with either kernel, i've used both and their both outstanding in performance and battery life.

Thanks for the feedback guys . I'll probably try both of them. I'll post some quadrant benchmarks and battery life results.

Faux 123 1.0.7 is the best IMO, great uv and quadrant scores, got 2600+ on stock and battery life is great.

I have used both kernels and got great battery life from each one. I prefer Faux's kernel for AOSP roms, and thederekjay's kernel for MIUI roms. Faux updated his kernel to OC @ 2.03ghz and its blazing fast

Faux's all day!!!!
He has put in the most work and has the best performance by a wide margin.

Which kernel

I have installed RR v2.6 and when choosing customized installation there are FLUXI / CM9/ siyah kernel option.
Since I am new to the ROM world my question is which kernel is to preferred when it comes to stability and battery drain for this ROM ...
I have Samsung S2

I've been using siyah kernel for the last few weeks on different versions of resurrection, however for this one I'm using the fluxi kernel to see how it goes. Remember that you can't accurately judge how good the battery life is until a few charging cycles have passed.

I'm using cm9 and not had any problems so far. Not quite as smooth and lag free as siyah or fluxi but battery a bit better, plus music on power amp seems to sound a lot better/bassier. Might be placebo but I like it lol

First off questions go in Q&A but this thread should not exist see this. Locked

Lower voltage?

Is there a way to feed less voltage to the processor to increase battery life?

nobody?

If you unlocked your tab already, try Faux custom kernel in dev section. It has option to undervolt the cpu voltage. I'm personally using it as well.

You could install one of the devs kernels, and then run something like system tuner from the play store.
In my opinion the battery gain will be minimal, and probably not worth it.

Yes, use SetCpu but you must be rooted. Unsure if you need a custom kernel

[Q] No 'Battery Life' ROM for the Nexus 7?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen loads of ROMs all about adding speed to the Nexus 7, and most of these ROMs also advertise better battery life, but I've not found any that actually have better battery life than stock, and I haven't seen any ROMs with a main purpose of increasing the battery life.
Also, it might be just me but I'm really satisfied with the speed of the stock ROM so I don't see much need to speed it up!
Franco Kernel did increase my battery life but I can't use it on 4.2.2 as it locks up my device into deep sleep. Other kernels I've tried have increased performance but not battery life. I have tried Elite Battery Saving kernel but that's for an old version of android, so to revert back in kernel would be reverting lots of the changes in kernel that have been done by Google I think (I know there were a lot of changes from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2?)
So my question is, is there a ROM / Kernel combination out there that is just trying to increase the battery life?
Thanks a lot. No disrespect to the hardworking devs that work on speeding up the Nexus 7; it's just my personal opinion.

Roms have little impact on battery life. Its primarily going to be a combo of the kernel and your own unique settings. Want to see anecdotes regarding other users' results with different kernels? There a thread for that.

As najaboy stated, it's a combination of kernel and user settings.
Note that custom kernels have governors, which regulate cpu core active states, and mhtz. Suggest you read up on custom kernel governors to get the most.
Also, we have a thread pertaining to this;

Reccomend me a kernel

Hey guys.
Looking for a good kernel for my G2(info in sig) ... Looking for a good overclocking kernel, What do you use?
Any recommendations?

Dorimanx allows you to overclock to 2.8 ghz but what are you gonna use that for? The phone gets extremely hot in very short time. What is it that 2.8 ghz can do and 2.26 ghz can't?

Dorimanx is very good if you want to overclock it and keeping battery drain at good level.
Best for me is from bruce.Is absolutely amazing and very snappy...

Thanks guys, Is Dorimanx good for everyday usage too?(without overclocking)

iam using dorimanx 5.8 for 2 days now and its stable until now. no issues at all.
but there is one thing to know about this kernel. it offers alot of options via stweaks but its recommend to use the profile settings that are comming with the rom. they are most stable.

I've used Dorimanx for months now , but switched to Bruce2728 kernel ,and i stay with it.
Very fast , smooth , no lags and very good battery life.

I would recommend bruce's kernel that can be found here.
Fast and reliable, good battery life.

Can't beat dorimanx for jb or kitkat. He's a very hard working guy. He never stops improving things.

Simple Kernel v6 overclocks to 2.5GHz. Simple means only Interactive governor included. Works well. 1%/3hr standby. Testing Vellamo bruce2728's kernel rules in multithreading even without overclocking.
