Hi!
I got my Nexus 4 three days ago.
My Usage Specs -
I use my N4 mainly for internet ( WiFi, sometimes 2G ) and a little bit of gaming. I make occasional calls and text rarely.
I don't use WhatsApp or Facebook.
I'm using STOCK ROM+Kernel.
I'm getting around 10-12 hours of battery life, with 4-5 hours of screen-on time.
Now, I want to be able to over/under clock & volt my CPU+GPU. This is to increase battery life and increase performance, as required.
It looks like too much choice is very confusing. So, I'd like some experienced suggestions and recommendations.
So, which _ should I use? ( And, I've already narrowed down the choices a bit )
Kernel - Faux, Motley, Franco
ROM - AOSP(Stock), CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, Xylon
Also, should I use Battery, CPU, RAM managers? If so, which ones?
What are some cool, useful N4 specific apps?
Any other tweaks and tips? - You can link to other xda threads, if available.
I will be unlocking and rooting tomorrow, once I decide which kernel+ROM to use.
Thanks!
Ram and battery managers are not necessary. You have 2GB of ram. Battery saver apps do not work. besides you said you're getting 4-5 hours of screen time. That's great!
Download greenify. It's a great app.

OP, "best ROM/kernel" questions are not allowed here. You will have to experiment and see.

Hi,
I understand that you are trying to prevent flame-wars and the like, however, I'm not looking for 'the best kernel/ROM'.
I want to know which combinations and configs other people have used, and I'd like some experienced suggestions.
I'm finding it confusing to differentiate between the variety of kernels and roms available, so I wanted some recommendations - preferably, with reasons.
Thanks!

I use Paranoid Android with its stock kernel. For me, no other rom can compare to Pa on the nexus 4! Not even cyanogen mod is as fluid, stable, and efficient. With my current setup I get around 16 hours battery life (5:30 am-11ish pm), with ~5 hours screen on time. I don't use any task killers or memory managers. I just make sure to force close all my apps when I'm done with them, and I reboot the phone every 24 hours to keep it at its maximum performance. Although my usage is slightly different. I use my phone mainly to browse the Web, text and occasionally snap some pictures and check instagram. Hopefully this helps you out a bit

Trinity and Franco kernel works great with PA. And so does semaphore. I use Franco kernel mainly because I get more screen time than any other kernel I've used. Franco kernel delivers a balance between smoothness and great battery life.

Okay, and you use PA too?
Also, how does the kernel affect smoothness? Shouldn't the performance be the same as long as you don't change clock speeds? Or is it due to the new governors that the kernel uses?
Also, what about motley kernel? The thread is very spartan, and I can't glean much info about it.
Has anyone tried Xylon? - it looks efficient.

I've tried the Franco kernel before but I find the stock PA one to be perfect as far as colors go. I've never had an issue with smoothness using it and I don't even worry about clock speed or governors. As far as xylon goes, I found it to be very washed out using the stock kernel that comes with the rom, again in terms of display. When I ran xylon for a few days, I ran into a few hiccups in performance that weren't acknowledged, even when running with different kernels. I've also tried AOKP, Cyanogen, and axiom, but I always return back to paranoid

HI!
So I have experimented and tested most of the major kernels and ROMs.
AND..... My selection/combo for now is:
kernel - Franco Milestone 2
ROM - Carbon 1.7
I tried Paranoid Android, but I didn't really like their interface adjustments.
And, just CyanogenMod is boring, IMO. Xylon, too.
Carbon has great customisation, and the specific adjustments that I like.
Thanks for the help!
Others - feel free to continue post your suggestions and recommendations for kernel+ROM combos.

Drivers with code from Code Aurora. They *may* fix stuff like slow WiFi speeds and delayed notifications. I personally use them but if you don't experience any problem with WiFi then I suggest flashing the normal ones. :fingers-crossed:
Try Matr1x kernel, gave me the best results when I tried through different ones.

I think I'll use the normal ones.
My internet speed is 4 Mbps and I don't use my WiFi to transfer files at all.
At the moment I'm getting the speeds I can technically get. So those won't help me, I guess.
Also, I've been running R140 without any problems for the last day.

In terms of stability, built-in features, battery life, performance and anything else important that I might have forgotten, which of the below three ROMs is top dog? Just so you know, I plan on flashing the non-overclocked GPU version of _motley's Linaro kernel regardless of which ROM I choose.
Paranoid Android
Glazed
JR6

I'm running paranoid myself but the best advice I've read when people ask this question is try them all. What's best means to me might not be what it means to you. I've tried all three myself and they were all stable, I like paranoid because of the per app density feature it has. It was just updated again today btw. Motleys kernel is awesome I like the one without gpuoc. Good luck, happy flashing
Thanks for the advice. Also, I have another question for anybody who can answer. These three ROMs seem to be mostly similar in terms of features, so it's actually kind of hard telling the differences. So, what I'm trying to ask is, what sets each ROM apart?

Does anyone know the answer to this? I used JR5, EOS now PA. They are all very similar, as you would expect. PA has more config options for setting up tablet UI which is key for me and the reason I use it currently (with Nova Launcher).
I liked JRX Roms as they have lots of apps inbuilt that the others dont, ie working Flash, GAPPS etc.
I'm also using Trinity kernel which is working great, again, I have not noticed much difference between them all.
Try them and take your pick
I say EOS with Mortley kernel
Hi you guys, I just got my nexus 4 a week ago and rooted it right away.
I have been looking through the list of roms and I honestly don't know which is right for me.
I'm looking for a STABLE rom that knows how to balance battery life and power.
I don't care too much for customization, just a little would be nice (Nothing too overbearing).
It would be if the rom just knew what it was doing, and doesn't need me to constantly tweak things.
SO in all, just the BEST reccomnded rom and kernal combo.
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I am currently running the stock rom, and franco r53 kernel
Slimbean. Stable, no bugs. As for kernels, they all are good. I like trinity and matrix
You will get a lot of different feedback what is the best. In the end it's a matter of taste.
atm I like AOKP with faux123 kernel. I heard the Minco Rom which comes with franco kernel should be very stable and smooth. And this rom and kernel where developed and supposed to work together:
"Welcome to the cross collaboration between myself & Francisco Franco.
We're proud to announce the first and ONLY Franco supported ROM. This ROM has been built from AOSP Jelly Bean."
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061573
I don't know if you already know this "index"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975842
try some of the AOSP ROMs and see what's best for you. Since there is no best combo for everyone.
Try EVERYTHING! Every phone is different as is every person.
I could just go on about how I now swear to Trinity and AOKP, but you'll never really know the answer to your own question unless you experiment. The experimenting is the best part :3

I use ParanoidAndroid with Harsh's kernel.
Of course this is subjective, but having tried all kernels (except Matrix and Trinity) Harsh's one is the fastest and smoothest one with good battery life. I think other kernels have better battery life as they disable mpdecision, but this comes at the loss of smoothness which I personally prioritise.
As for the ROM, I haven't tried any since I flashed PA first. I don't think I'm ever going to even consider switching ROM's - that's how awesome it is :good:
But as everybody else is saying, you have to try everything yourself, not like that's a burden since everybody on XDA loves flashing stuff. It's fun!

Sorry i didn't make this clear earlier. But i care MUCH more about battery life than performance. I use my phone constantly, wether that means texting or reddit or games. I'm sure the nexus' hardware can more than keep up with these tasks but I'm getting relatively poor battery life.
I'm a gamer I use rasbeenjelly rom and motley b31 experimental. I get better battery life and performance than stock rom.

That's what I'm running right now! :good:
The reason I recc'd SR5 was because I found it faster than SR6. Heck, with Matr1x 5.5ocgpu487 (which itself is marginally faster than Matr1x6), I was scoring just over 20000 on AnTuTu with SR5.
I just benched SR7.2 with Motley b31oc1678, gave a pretty nice AnTuTu score of 20900, which is the same as what SR5 gave. So I'd give a thumbs up to this combo -- it also feels as good as SR5! (Running Trinity 91L at 1728 oc'd would undoubtedly bump that above 21000, but I couldn't tell the difference between running Trinity at 1728 and Motley at 1678 in daily use)
Do have to say that Rasbean Jelly and Trinity 91L was blinding fast, very noticeable in regular use; totally supports the >23000 AnTuTu score. (But I can't tell that big a difference between that combo and Liquidsmooth 3.2, which is unsupported by its 19000 benchmark. Yet another reason why I feel benchmarks are somewhat worthless when compared between entirely different ROMs)
It's all really subjective; objective tests like benchmarks are so confounded that only data mongers like me bother to use them :silly:
With Motleys I get 16000 at 1024
19500 at 1242 but then the increase is negligible. 22500 at 1642 for me.
I have been runing at 1024 and every game is perfect. Undervolted to 650 at 1024

Hi guys we have loads of Roms for our nexus 4 and i am fairly new to this device and dont know whats best to go for.
My question is..I am wanting a rom that's close to stock but modded for better battery and i dont need it all flashy if that makes sense..
I have had a good look through the threads choose and running purity at the moment and its a nice rom but battery is not great and i do not have a good mobile signal yet my signal is well strong on other devices in the same place.? (my house) three network UK
any pointers?

theres no best rom, only the best rom thats good for you. try out a bunch, find what you and your device likes. also, if looking for battery life, try out a bunch of different kernels. eventually youll find the combination thats perfect for you.

Sabermod by @sparksco is amazing. Close to stock with just the right amount of tweaks. No useless features or mods. I like minimal Roms, im not a big fan of sacrificing performance and stability for useless features. Its compiled with linaro toolchain so its very fast, and battery life is amazing as well ( i get 5.5 hours screen on time, and 2 days of moderate to heavy use. Just idling the phone will last 5 days). Comes bundled with a really good kernel as well. Give it a try.

For the biggest gain in batterylife you could try flashing a custom kernel and possibly underclock or undervolt it, this also decreases heating. The radio is responsible for mobile connections. You could try flashing a different radio to improve the signal from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227. Myself i`am running stock 4.2.2 rom and Franco kernel and am very happy with it. there are other kernels that are also very good. Best is to try them out yourself.

I think Franco is great for both performance and batterylife and off course color and sound control. But thats my preference, other users like other kernels better.
Each Rom will react differently on each device. The only way to find out what works best for you is to try them out on your own.
As the title

What's the better kernel? threads aren't allowed. By the time you get enough responses to this thread to be meaningful, you could have flashed both kernels and made up your own mind.

I just installed Purity ROM on my N10. Was using Franco Kernel before (planned to stay on KitKat) but it was buggy as hell and I tried to reach out to him multiple times, via here and G+ but he never cared to reply back. So glad I paid for it.
I'm using the stock kernel installed with Purity. You think the above Kernel would have any issues with the ROM?
I looked at his Gdrive folder here and he has two different ones. Using the tablet because I'm traveling I can't see the whole filename.
Which one should I choose?
Thanks.

Thanks, just flashed your Kernel on my N10 running Purity ROM. So far, no boot-loop. Looking forward to it.
Do you have any recommended settings for the N10 + your Kernel?

Hello,
basically, stock kernel performs also well, but I don't like the default "tunnables".
Governor : you can stick with interactive and default values I made : I changed touch boost to be kernel side and the touchboost duration is 200 ms, however, you can decrease it to 100ms(that's i am using).(default value is 500ms)
io scheduler: you can switch from BFQ to fiops or ZEN. The io scheduler handles who is reading or writing to the disk. If you mainly multitasking(torrents,music,beo<insg, etc at the same time) bfq is good, otherwise you can switch to fiops or zen
Ofc undervolting: our device is set up with high voltage, basicaly I can reduce 100~150mV but this DOES NOT APPLY to everyone, you have to test yourself your own chip to figure out which voltage is required to have it stable.

I don't know if its just MY device or some other issue. I'm running Purity ROM and after flashing your kernel I can actually watch my battery drain.
Its been 47 minutes and I'm already down to 89%. At this rate it will be dead in 3 hours +/-. Only using Wifi and screen is set to lowest brightness setting. No gaming, just using Boat Browser and sending Hangout messages.
I'm using Greenify to kill any apps in the background and I've used SDMaid to stop any unnecessary apps from running on startup.
Not sure what the issue is or if you even want to be bothered trying to diagnose? Not meant as a slight to you or your work at all just don't know if this is just a issue with mine or others are having the same problems?
I've already let the device die and recharge a few times thinking it was the battery stats being reported incorrectly but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Any suggestions? Ideas?
Thanks.

Hm there are out there many apps to check battery drains and what process consumes energy.
I dont know much of that, but I use betterbatterystats, I know- from screen I saw- there are more complete software, yes I would bother trying to fix anything broken as long as I am given at least the minimum information

Hi there!
Check of your device is actually going into deep sleep. There is an issue with the latest google play services. It prevents the device from going to sleep. I am using CM12 nightly and i suffer from this issue as well.
Nexus 10 and Oneplus one.
