I am running trinity and am pretty smooth, but still I feel like sometimes it lags. I was wondering which one is better battery and performance wise. Personally I don't think trinity has that great of a battery life. Please just don't tell that you use one of these kernels, explain why you think its better over the other. Thank You

one kernel isnt better over the other, they are both good. the question is which is best for you. these kinds of threads arent allowed on xda as they are a good environment for flaming to pop up.
I was just asking the pros and cons of these two kernels

which is where the flaming will start. trinity(or faux) users will say that the one they use is better than the other, then itll go downhill from there. the pros and cons are for you to decide, based on how you use your device and how your device reacts to the kernel.

Hi all
I'm currently running Cyanogenmod with faux's kernel and getting pretty good results, just wondered what other people are using to get great battery life?
Thanks in advance

No such thing as a best kernel. Some phones like certain kernels more than others. Experiences vary.
If you're looking for kernel suggestions I'd go with Franco or Trinity by morfic (Google to find his kernel as it isn't on xda).

This is really subjective and is something you would need to test out on your own to get any solid answers since there's so many factors that could affect the outcome.
Thank you but it was just to see what others recommend. I've heard good things about the matrix kernel
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Also when using those kernels download the app trickster mod it'll let you customize the kernel settings but don't touch anything you don't understand because you might mess something up. Franco and morfic have paid apps that customize their kernel but trickster is a free alternative until you commit to one kernel

Franco or Matrix...But while using Franco Ive seen a big difference in battery and thats just my experience with it but like the others say just try em out and see wats best for you my friend..

Agreed. Franco really knows what he's doing, no offense to the other developers. Morfic is another good developer.
Wasn't a huge fan of matrix on the Nexus S. Just my personal opinion (don't attack me because I prefer one kernel over another!)

Nothing against math kid but (not saying he does this) but there are some shady developers or Rom cookers who say they added their secret special tweaks to boost speed or performance. I don't believe it because it's placebo. If there's no proof in the source then it doesn't exist.
Franco actually says what he did, and you can see it in the results. Plus he's very adamant about replying to feedback as long as it's not a silly question like "can I under volt using this kernel???" There's a reason why he has 20k thanks
But either way enough of my rant. Hope op finds a kernel he likes. I'd start using the most popular kernel out there and use it for a couple of days. If you aren't satisfied then try another. Satisfied but want to see if you can do better? Go ahead and try. They're all free anyways, the beauty of xda

I'm using the Matr1x 3.0 kernel I love it but my brother gets battery life on trinity. So like others said its phone specific.

Thank you for all your replies, I might give Franco's kernel ago. I'll be surprised if I get better battery life than I currently do on faux's because Franco's doesn't support undervolting

Franco doesn't support undervolting because,
I answered that the last page. UV comes when I think its a good time for it. I do my own thing, not follow what other people do on their kernels.

I really don't care much about undervolting, I think in the end its more placebo than anything. Sure it might help a little bit, but not as much as users think it does. Aggressive cpu frequency management, core management, now thats where true savings come from in my opinion.

I don't really undervolt my phone and have pretty good battery life as it is. I didn't undervolt on my Galaxy Nexus either because it had something called Smart Reflex undervolted for you when necessary. more info @ http://www.ti.com/dsp/docs/dspcontent.tsp?contentId=52746#a18
---- Franco isn't saying that there won't be UV support but as of right now he's focused on other things and will add it when it becomes more stable. And I agree with him on the second part about there are other parts of the kernel that can be worked on to have better battery life rather than just having people UV as the solution (for now).
Edit: there's a reason why his thread on GN has Views: 4,859,042 http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p163/gbd270/views_zps2644eff7.jpg
Even there's no UV on his r14, this kernel is very stable and I've a (very) good battery life
I really appreciate all your responses, so what settings do you recommend for best battery life on Franco's kernel?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Out of the box settings work just fine.

On your phone they do they sucked on mine. I went from 2 to 2 1/2 hours to 4 because of a kernel.

If takes a couple of recharges for the kernel to come into effect. Have to give if a few days for your phone to get used to it.

If u are talking to me Ive had my phone since Thanksgiving I gave it 3 weeks before I flashed a custom kernel. My stock kernel never got any better. U got a awesome stock phone I wish I had the same luck.

A suggestion would be to add a poll and let people vote on the different kernels.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Trying to pick a ROM. They all look good. Any that you recommend? Something without too many stability problems......
A ROM is your personal preference. Other peoples word should influence you. A ROM is like buying a house. It has to feel right for you. Go and test a few. You will find the ROM for you
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Not sure what the rules here are, but on the Optimus 2x forum, where I come from, threads like this one are getting closed.
I think you should try some ROMs and stick with the one that works the best for you.
So, which one do you like?

It's not irrelevant!
Which/best/most stable etc ROM threads get closed because it's completely subjective and what's best for one person isn't for others. My advice to everyone wondering is to just flash the ones that meet your needs or try them all, choice is a great thing and the devs provide plenty of it.

Just got my Nexus 7, I'm familiar with all the kernels and Roms available. I've downloaded all from the original development thread as well as the newer android thread. For kernels I've used Motley, Franco and the kernel that comes from faux. I'm trying to find a balance between power efficient and no lagging at all. Roms I've used paranoid android, cm10, prime which is better and j18. I'm looking for the best gaming combo, while saving battery. Any suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I use my 7 primarily for games and for that reason I stick with stock kernel. Some EA games won't download data with custom kernels and I've found stock to be just as good on battery as any custom kernel and not far behind in performance. Your results may vary from anyone else's, so no one can really tell you what'll be best for you.

Use android 4.1.2. It is way smoother and less bloated than android 4.2.2

May want to grab a cup of coffee to wake yourself up since my reply was in no way, shape, or form directed at you. It was directed at the OP, as this thread is just another violation of the forum rules that's going to get locked as soon as the mods get around to it.

I thought this was the questions thread for Nexus 7?! Is my question not valid enough for a community response?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Another thread closed.
The 'best' kernel/ROM is something you have to decide for yourself, there really is no right and wrong answer just which ever you feel works best for you.
This is why we strongly discourage this kind of thread.
We also do not like users that post multiple threads on the same topic, it clogs up the forums with pointless content.
Thank you

There is no best ROM. Each ROM tends to offer something different and what you may see as useful or cool may not be anything special to somebody else. With that said, I am on the newest version of the PACman ROM and I think its the best rom available bar none. There are so many options such as PIE controls (which allows you to hide the NAV buttons allowing for more screen space) and not to mention the options of Paranoid Android, AOKP and Cynagenmod. Throw in the rock solid stability, (no force closes, battery drain or lag) and you have a real winner.
Anyway, like I said, that is my opinion but having used many ROMs I can tell you that most of them are amazing in there own right. There is no "best".

theres no best rom, theres only the rom thats best for you. spend some time trying out a few different roms, then pick one that suits your needs the best. after that, spend some time trying different kernels, then pick the one that you like. anyways, heres a great place to start, especially for a thread like this one http://goo.gl/YG5Gl
Well, this thread managed to become hostile and off-topic in a matter of minutes. Can't say that I'm not impressed though. Anyway, while you've probably figured out as much there is no best ROM because it's completely subjective and in addition being a Nexus the ROMs all seem fairly similar to me (it's odd to have come from an HD2). It's also not fair to devs to judge their work when they do it completely for free and opinions can easily differ. What I can say is that you'll struggle to find any ROM that's bad.
OP as stated, there is no best, it is what is best for the individual User, with so many variables involved...apps/usage and so on, the best thing to do is test and run the great ROMs out here.
And BTW thread cleaned of stupidity; Thank you and Thread Closed.
Just a simple question which I would like everyone's opinion on.
Through your experience what has been the best ROM and kernel used on your nexus 4 that provided the best performance,battery life, fluidity, great customizations etc...?!?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
these threads are nit allowed on xda. to find your best rom and kernel you have to try them out. our phones all react differently, and all our needs differ, so the only way to get your best rom and kernel you personally have to try them out. you device will let you know which rom/kernel it likes best, and only you have your needs/wants.
Oh really? I didnt know.Thanks for that
