Hello all,
I want to install PA3, and I want to know what is the best kernel for battery performance.
Thanks!

Stock PA and matr1x kernel are both really good, with matr1x the battery life is about 5 hours screen, without screen it is just 1%/2 hrs.
I've tried franco and faux kernel too, but franco was a bit laggish and faux has terrible performance for me...slow ui, lots of framedrop in games...
There is no best kernel. All of them offer something a little different than the other. Some kernels work better with a ROM than others. My advice to to read up on them. Find out what you want out of it. Flash one and run it for a couple days. Make sure you let the battery drain past 20% then charge it without interrupting it. That's the surest way to gain maximum battery saving benefits. Just try them out until you find the one that's right for you. Happy flashing.
its actually made so that you dont have to worry about this stuff. kernel is just a cog. it twists and turns, who cares. unless you know exactly what youre missing of course. :cyclops:

Hey guys,
I think I read somewhere that threads like this are not really wanted here? So I'd like to clarify first, I'm looking for certain aspects and not for "the best" rom or whatever. If there's more than one which would meet my criteria, feel free to just name all without any opinion to it
There are just so many roms and kernels and I'm having trouble finding information what they can and cant do...Sometimes it's just a download link and thats it!
I will be travelling with my Nexus 10 and would like to use an internet dongle via USB OTG to access mobile internet in the various countries and I would like to use OTG for storage (usb sticks i guess).
Also it should be stable/fast and I would like to somehow prolong battery life (UC/UV? Dont know anything about that yet but I guess that would be how?), just in case I won't be near a power outlet for a couple of days.
I don't really care too much about design, so minimalistic is best!
Which kernels can I use? Does the rom even matter? are there certain roms that seem to work best with the kernel I would need?
Thanks for any help!! I will get the tablet the day after tomorrow so it'd be awesome to have some information so that I can root and start trying stuff out immediately=)
If you seek stability then go for CleanRom and aosp+ kernel. As for battery life there isn't anything magic out there, just turn the WiFi off when you can.
UV doesn't help, no matter what you will be told, it's just placebo.
I've used mrRobinsons AOKP PUB ROM + Ktmanta kernel for the last 2 months. Just took it on a long trip, used a 32gb USB OTG just fine. I watched several movies and had great battery life. Performance is awesome too.
No experience with an internet dongle, sorry. I just use the hotspot function from my phone.

It bothers me when someone says that such and such is the only stable combination, it obviously isnt or no one would ever run anything else. I have never had problems when I ran AOKP, or when I used to run CM10, or running on Rasbean which is based on AOSP. Each kernel can have certain releases that have issues, just as Craig's AOSP+ kernel could at some point, but not every release has always or will always be unstable. To my knowledge only Franco's R12 has issues right now and all other kernel releases are fine. Franco's R11 is perfectly fine too.
Also I can both mathematically prove undervolting can save battery and can show you plenty of people with actual experience on it saving battery. So you should really stop going around and spouting off "facts" which are completely untrue. But you are right about there being no magic stuff, it is all science.
I get wonderful battery life daily using KTManta and a tweak of the CPU/GPU. But then, my tweak stops doing so well if I use a CPU intensive app like FL Studio. I can go about 12 hours or more and still have 30-40% of battery left, with off-and-on usage all day including some gaming. Extended gaming (I'm talking Asphalt 7, Shadowgun, not Plague Inc) will murder that, but that's what I set up my CPU/GPU to offset.
Also completely stable with RootBox ROM (or CM10, or AOKP, etc) so long as I don't try "hotplugging"

Hey. So I wanted to buy the nexus 4 , and then I've heard that the battery life is suck.
I found out that it could be fixed by installing a custom kernel.
I'd like to apply a cusom kernel
that saves -Alot- of battery , doesnt change anyting specific but the battery usage.
and to still stay with the Original Rom.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

try them all out, they are all good. the thing is, all our devices react differently, and all our usages vary with as many users as there are. so the only way that you would find YOUR perfect kernel that YOUR device likes the best is to try them all out. it takes seconds to flash, so time isnt an issue. try one every few days, youll find the one thats for you.

OK... but all the kernel changes something in the rom. I would like to keep my rom exactly the way it is , exept from the battery usage.

You can flash any kernel you want, and the ROM will stay the same. The kernel operates "under the hood" (the engine), while the ROM is what you see (rest of the car, to use that analogy). You can use an app called Trickster Mod to tweak kernel settings. Be sure to know what you're doing though, and keep a backup just in case.
Also, be sure if you flash faux or trinity kernel (that I know of), that you flash on top of a stock kernel/reset kernel. If you flash any of those on top of another custom kernel, you could get in trouble (because of the way the kernels are installed).
And the stock kernel is really not as bad as people make it out to be.
Sure custom will usually be better. But stock is not that bad. All those reports of horrid battery life I really don't know what the heck they are doing to be honest.
I used it for a while. And the other nexus 4 in the house is bone stock. It gets off the charger at 530am and needs to be charged around 4pm with around 4 hrs of screen time and 45 mins or so of candy crush.

Now that the battery life is improved on 4.3 JB version , I wont be needed to a custom kernel. Thanks alot.
People say the best kernel depends on your phone but how can you tell? By performance? Battery Life?
I only have tried Franco and Matr1x and both are kinda the same for me atleast and I only get 3-4 hours of screen time with minimal use, no sync apps, wifi only, brightness down mostly all the way, greenify some apps, uv -100. Im trying to find the best kernel that helps with battery life and most people say its Franco or Matr1x and I already tried both...I've yet to try Faux, Trinity, or Harshs....Help

I have tried Faux. in my opinion, it is less smooth than the two you have tried

try them. the right one will feel right to you. it will feel best overall on your device and to you. if you were given five dishes of food that youve never tried before, or heard of, what would you do to decide which is best for you. youd try them. your taste buds will let you know. but everyone else that tried would have varying opinions as to which is best for them. they are all good, but our needs and expectations and usages all vary.
^^^ This is the only answer you need...
Any other response just means that this turns into an opinion thread for best kernel.

every kernel for someone will be the one that gives them the best battery life, and for someone else the absolute worst battery life. every device differs, and every device reacts differently to every kernel. you really have to try out all that you can, only then youll find the best battery kernel for your device.

Thanks Simms22, because you so honest, I will try you're kernel.
Thanks Again!

truth be told kernels dont do much for battery life... or very little. Its apps that will cause battery life issues.
I have been fond of franco kernel, and undervolting 100mv across the board.
You could check this thread, personally I use NEO kernel and tune it to my liking using TricksterMOD.

Hells-core, franco.Kernel.Plus, Matr1x and Semaphore have always been very battery-friendly with me. But I always go for performance because I am almost always near a charger. Hells-core has always been the best at performance and battery life.
it is your setup and apps where you can get or lose battery life, that is true. taking real control of your apps, and when they run, can intensively improve battery life. also your data/phone signal. i get much better battery since going to lte. data tranfers faster, so the radio is running much less. that itself added an hour of screen on time to my battery cycle.
Hey guys,
I've ran this thing stock from day one. I've loved it, but the itch is coming back. I need mods. I need kernels. I need mo cowbell!
That being said, I think I'm still going to run stock for now. Anyone recommend a specific kernel? I've been looking at HolyDragon a lot. I'm looking for a bump in performance with a significant jump in battery life.
Also, anyone use that stereo speaker mod? How does that work for you guys on speaker phone calls?

You need to flash sky dragon ROM. Its made by the same dev who codes holy angel kernel and the kernel is included in the ROM. I can easily get over 8hrs of screen on time and the mods are pretty decent. I wish they included status bar and navbar colors on the mods but oh well. The ones they come with are enough to keep the phone looking fresh , especially the nifty built-in font changer. Trust me you won't regret it.

If you want great performance and battery life, check out the SkyDragon rom, it's got the HolyDragon kernel built in and I get 8-9 hours of SOT.
In my opinion I feel that Smurf Kernel ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/development/kernel-smurfkernel-2-0-49-t3868360 ) gives me the best battery life. I recommend this one to anyone with this phone.
I'm running stock rom with Omega Kernel. After calibration of a day or so battery life pushes me towards 8hrs of SOT with 42-46 hours of battery life.

Stock OB?
Edit: squared away on Omega Kernel for now. Working great on OB11.
Thanks all!
