Just wondering how the battery life and performance is with this set-up. If you feel a different kernel gets better battery life or performance with ParanoidAndroid, please let me know. Any comments and suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
PA + Franco is excellent.
PA + Trinity is also excellent.
Both are great kernels that deliver great performance and long battery life.

anyone ever try this setup? please share what's your experience with this. Does franco has any latest kernel release for i9300?
i'm a heavy user, current setup gave me like 15 hours battery life, i need more battery life due to frequent traveling.. thanks in advance!!

Hi,
I think you should ask about that in the GS3 thread.

I've tried all the kernels. I'm on the latest PA as well. Motley's was the best for me I regularly get over 4 hours on screen and 12-20 hours total time. I'm a pretty heavy user, I use like at least 1gb a week. The key is to always have your screen brightness at an optimum level and make sure there's no stupid syncing stuff like facebook. I only sync gmail, contacts, and calendar for 3 gmail accounts. I have "faster" binned CPU if that helps at all. I use trickstermod with a -75mV UV. Diff phones react to kernels diff. Try all of them to see which is the best for you. Most of the other kernels gave me similar battery life to stock which was about 3ish hours on screen and 12 or so hours total time and some didn't respond to UV well. Good luck with your journey :good:
my bad!

oops, my bad! ok i will move this to SGS3 thread, thanks!
hey sorry guys for bothering but im a noob at roms. i just installed PA but cant figure out how to install franco kernel as well. its an .img file but clockwork mod wont let me use that file. thanks
...Personally after just switching to franco kernel with PA from the stock mako kernel I've had a pretty shi**y experience. Today my phone lasted only 10 hours with 50 mins screen time... wtf?? I'll definitely be moving on thankyou. I have a fast binned CPU and I do run alot of auto syncing apps.. however on the mako kernel all things equal i could easily get 2-3hours screen time and 18-20 hours of battery on time

Franco also has .zip files for CWM/TWRP. img files need to be flashed in fastboot mode.

Anyone have any recommendations on a good kernel for Paranoid Android? Franco, Faux or the default? Thank you.
Franco. Another good pick is Trinity (found here: http://derkernel.com/mako.php# )
Is there a resource somewhere that has comparisons of the kernels? Do people just go off of the reputation of the dev that makes them, how do we know what they do?

No there are no comparisons. All kernels are relatively early in it's releases at the moment. I'd say they are pretty smooth, I go off based on my past experiences. On Galaxy Nexus, I've used between Franco and Trinity, mainly Franco and bought his app so I use Franco kernels only. But all kernel developers are talented, some phones just like some kernels more often.
Yes, there is a comparison! Check this out @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889571

That's for the Nexus 7...
I personally have used PA roms with 3 kernels:
- probuild in rom - was good, but not as smooth as my experience on stock rom
- Franco (r21 and r22) - i have experienced some lags so decided to try another one
- Matr1x (3.5) - currently am using this one and it's very fast and smooth

After deciding I wanted to use my Best Buy warranty and dropping my phone in boiling water (interesting side note, I took it out after about 20 seconds, still worked fine!) I just got my new replacement. Graciously enough it came to me unlocked. I used Wug's toolkit to root it.
I flashed PA, successfully rebooted. Downloaded Franco Milestone 6 onto my GNex, booted to recovery, wiped partition cache, wiped dalvik cache, flashed the Franco zip, and then rebooted. I've tried this exact same procedure three times, and every time my phone gets stuck (waited at least one hour on the boot animation. I'm back to PA w/ stock kernel, but would really like to get Franco working, any ideas/advice?

Shoot man... Sorry! I'm new to using the forums and I did a google search for PA and Franco and forgot to check on what phone forum I was in. I will delete previous post.
I've been using the N7 for over a month now, but just got time to unlock and root it. So I got rooted 4.2.1 running. The battery life is poor. Could you guys suggest me a kernel for stock with good battery backup?
And maybe a good stock based rom too,to go with that?
Thanks.
Battery life is more dependent on personal usage than anything. I regularly see (in a standard 18-24 hour day) over 7 hours of screentime with 3 hours of heavy 3d gaming on stock (battery life has increased over time though). If people actually used their device the exact same way everytime they would discover all this "extra life" actually is very negligible.
With that said, Trinity is an excellent kernel to give a shot.

Franco kernel is great for battery and performance

My personal vote is for M-Kernel.
Just rooted and running stock rom with trinity.. My nexus is running great so far.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
i always recommend trinity kernel, because that's what i always use, on all my devices. well, just because . but you should try out a few other kernels, to find the one your device likes best. all our devices react differently to these kernels. what one user might find as absolute best on their device, another user might find to be the worst.
My vote goes for M-Kernel with 666mhz lp core. Easily 6-7 hours of screen time with games
I'd like to recommend Franco or M-kernel if you want great battery life.
Thank you all !!!!
How do i flash a kernel via TWRP , if it is not a flashable zip ? ( boot.img)

If it's boot.img then you need to flash it using fastboot. Simply reboot to bootloader(on your N7),run cmd.exe(on your PC) and type fastboot flash boot boot.img(change the boot.img to the name of the kernel).
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Great. I got mine a month back,just unlocked it a day back. So are you running stock or any custom rom ? I could use some reviews .
Guys.. I need help. I flashed the M kernel. Then Wifi doesn't turn on. I revert to the NAND i made. Still Wifi doesn't turn on. It says "Obtaining IP address " . That's it. Please. I'm desperate.
I vote against Franco kernel, because for me it never goes below 400MHz, heavily destroying battery life. Also, the companion app is expensive and not really working well, especially when setting frequency. I wished somebody made a kernel from stock, with only undervolting capabilities patched in, the same for the N4. I guess I will have to look into that myself sometime in the future.

Hi. I'm running CM10.1 stable because I don't have much time to test the latest nightlies and need a stable phone. Everything works ok, but battery doesn't seem to last as much as it did when I had the stock ROM (Google's 4.3 ROM).
I wanted to try Franco Kernel to see if it helps with battery. Has anyone tried it with CM10.1 stable (Android 4.2.2)? It should work accoding to the Franco Kernel thread, but I wanted someone to confirm if it actually does, and maybe hear some opinions. Thanks!

Ah, thanks. Do you think it helps with battery life? Also, I should flash these ones, right?
Yea in my situation it has helped with battery life. I average 11 to 13 hrs on battery. I'm running build 163. For some reason the link you placed I couldn't click so here's the milestones http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/Nexus4/4.2.2/milestones/
If you get the chance try to look for in the thread for build 165 as that was the last 4.2.2 release and more recent than the milestones

Using milestone 3 with cm 10.1.2 stable and definitely notice better battery life. I only flashed it last night but so far im at 15 hours on the battery with 3 hours of on screen time and its only at 50%.

So... stock?
The rom doesn't really matter, its the kernel that makes a speed difference. Browse thru the kernels in android development section

I read about pure speed x rom ( psx ) but i wanted to know if there's a better rom
All things come at a cost, so desiring both insane speed and insane battery life might not be possible... But, if you're looking for a lot of speed and decent battery life, here's what I've done:
1. Download and nstall the most recent 'codefireXperiment nightlies', which you can find here: http://downloads.codefi.re/synergy/codefireXperiment-Mako/nightlies/mr2. (Y'know the whole shebang, GAPPS are to be downloaded/installed as well)
2. Download and install the latest Faux123 kernel for JSS. Look at his first post for battery saving settings that you can use with Trickster Mod.
3. Download and install an app called Greenify from the Play Store + download and install either FauxClock or Trickster Mod from the Play Store.
4. Profit

as suggested above : update your kernel indeed.
Did you upgrade to JRW66Y first ?
Be carefull to choose the right kernel version : JWR, not JSS ones.
I'd suggest you to use Paranoid Android's latest build with AK kernel and Nova launcher.
Set CPU governor to interactive and GPU to ondemand. You will have very decent battery life and great preformance.
Hi there, so I've got the Nexus 4 and running Cyanogenmod CM11 M7 and was wondering what would be the best kernel to install on my phone?
Something that'll get me bit of performance and better battery life
Thanks

it depends... always depends
You can try either of these, and then you can check, on your mobile, which is better :
ak's kernel
Hells Doctor with Tardis
Hells Core
In my point of view(and for my mobile setup), the better is Ak, but all of them are great kernels though !
Can't seem to get a download link for 4.4.2 kernel. The one on the official post isn't working. Any luck?
There is no such thing as a best kernel Just head over to the dev sections, try a few and then decide for yourself, as everyone has their own needs/likes/...
