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.

Just want to ask around for the difference opinions on which gingerbread roms give the best battery life since i find it almost impossible to test every single rom.
For me, i have tried out Trips MIUI, wolfbreaks V6 stock, erickwill and alzbac windows 7 mod (all with same amount of usage which includes 1 hour+ surfing , constant smsing and frequent checking of time)
Trips MIUI can last me around 1 day and 10 hours
Wolfbreak V6 Stock lasted me around 1 day 16 hours
After i installed the undervolt module with stock kernal, battery life increased tremendously, was at 30 percent after 2 days and 10 hours, quite sure it can last 3 days.
Erickwill's rom last approximately 1 day 10 hours straight
while alzbac's mod lasted around 1 days and 14 hours
In a nutshell, i feel that wolfbreaks rom With undervolt module gives the best battery life.
IMO these threads are pointless and have been done a million times.
Everyones usage is different and there are so many variables that come into play (like radio in different areas, signal quality, etc...) that it is impossible to come to any sort of a concrete conclusion.

No.
I was looking for an answer to this question. After spamming my friend colossus's inbox, we have come to a conclusion that nothing beats stock plus undervolt and doomkernel.
Stock gave me 3 days on 2G, wolf gave me 10 hours...ThGo gave me 12 hours... Ericks ROM was too ugly..
Nasif's ULTIMA had really good battery too, and had the best UI. Though the only downside was the settings lag

Different people will get completely different experience though, considering the amount if different areas, different signal, etc...
That's the thing, it will be different for people. There is no overall best battery life.
its always good to hear peoples opinion before plunging into a rom since there are really too many to try and it takes quite a few days before we notice battery life performance etc. , gives us an idea of what we really want to try at the moment dun we?
cheers no hard feelings
sorry but can you point me to the thread where i can find the undervolt module?
i run stock with doomlord v5 kernel unlocked.

BTW u can only flash the undervolt module if your using stock kernel.

Stock kernel.
Doom kernel is already undervolted I think.

Hi,
not all of Dooms kernel are undervolted. He changed it a bit and they are mostly prepared for under voltage now. With unlocked kernel 5 you need something like SetXperia to set the voltages a bit lower. I lowered the low frequencies around 15%.

True that, batter life has a huge impact on signal strength, area, etc...
But if u just take ur self alone and try all those ROMs, think that would give a rough ideas as to which ROM stands tall in-terms of battery life. I've tried several ROMs. Best is STOCK & Wolfs v06. Worst is MIUI (No offence, its just my opinion, and would still love to use a MIUI ROM despite of data loss)
Hope this will help...
yea lol just want hear if there are any other roms that people feel have better battery life than those i have already tried.
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:

I'm looking for battery life/performance a good balance between the 2. I like Franco.Kernel but is there a better one that suits those needs? I have a lot of experience but I just don't want to go on a flashing spree and risk breaking something.

All devices react differently with different kernels and roms. That's why there are people that say this kernel is better than the other. Franco is a good starting point. if it's not good, try another kernel. That's the only way YOU will know.

as far as i know, battery life isnt bad on any of the kernels, it would mostly depend on your setup and your usage. if you go into any of the kernel threads, there will be someone that claims that it gives the best battery life. now performance of these kernels do vary, this is where they differ from each other. itll also depend on what your personal idea of performance is. try a different kernel every few days,, it only takes a few minutes to flash, youll find a favorite. just remember, battery life will be more accurate on the 2nd or 3rd battery cycle.

The stock CM kernel works fine for me
I've tried a number of kernels whenever I see a new one released. My personal favorites for performance/battery combo are: Franco, Faux123, Trinity, AK. They each perform mildly different however, and like stated before the best way to find out what's best for you is to try them. Good luck!
Hi, got a question for all of you.
franco, matr1x, or faux/mako?
Which one would be a good rom for me that provides good performance, as well as great on screen time with ParanoidAndroid?
I've heard great things about franco and matr1x, but love the "turbo boost" in faux/mako.
Has anyone had experience with faux/mako? How is the general battery life? I haven't heard too much good about the battery life in mako, but have heard a good amount in matr1x and franco. Thoughts? Suggestions?
I know "just try them yourself". I just thought it would be nice to have a bit of insight before jumping on one so I don't have to waste too much time playing around with them.
Faux and Franco are more performance oriented, not too much battery friendly. But I'm sure if you tweak some things you'll get better battery life.
Hello,

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.

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.
