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.

Battery life absolute trash?

So my N7 arrived two days ago, and I immediately unlocked, rooted, and flashed some things. Currently running Codename Android with Trinity Kernel.
My battery is absolute crap now though. Its been two days so I thought the battery more but have settled by now. All auto sync off, brightness at lowest setting, apps sync every 4 hours, still bad! Does calibrating still work? I read somewhere that it was debunked and it didn't work. I would appreciate any help. I mean, my Maxx is getting better battery life.
I uploaded some screenshots of the battery after only 1 and a half hours.

My Battery life is without doing nothing ~1-2weeks (in my with 58% xD)
Use Stock Kernel

Go to the motley kernel thread in Original Development. He provides a mirror link for the stock kernel
I loved Trinity and the TKT app but for some reason im getting much better battery life with motley kernel. I originally did some troubleshooting and fixed some apps that were causing wakelocks. My battery life got a little better but not by enough (could only get 3 or 4 hrs screen on) so i switched kernels.
If you feel like experimenting do this:
Nandroid
Wipe Cache + Dalvik
Wipe System
Factory Reset
Flash CM10 nightly (any rom of your choice)
Flash GApps
Flash motley kernel (i used the 484 GPU version)
Fix permissions
Reboot
I get awesome battery life now and performance is great.
Your title should be something like this: "After rooting and installing battery draining rom and kernel I get bad battery life on my N7"
Stock JB and kernel should yield decent batter life.
With the proper rom and kernel the Nexus 7 easily match or better the googles battery life claim.
FYI the latest Trinity kernel is a battery hog.

if you use it at 1.7ghz it will be, but thats obvious. at 1150mhz, its as quick and wonderful on batteries.

I wouldnt go as far as saying its a battery hog, but i ran the kernel at stock clocks and while performance was much better than stock i still had tons of drain that i now dont have with a different kernel.
Ran Trinity kernel at 1150mhz and had awful battery. Back on stock ROM and kernel and seems to have improved a lot.

I feel like the battery is pretty decent...
Get off those custom Roms and kernels until you understand how the device is meant to perform.
You appear to have 87% after 1.5 hours, that equals about 10 hours, how is that bad? I get about 8 hours if I am intensely playing with screens, apps and games, 2 days if I'm not doing much. Loses 2% at night with wifi off. No root.
trinity kernel and the pure aosp rom, at 1150mhz. id say not bad at all..
Trinity Kernel is a good kernel. I went overboard by saying it was a battery hog. I did have it overclocked up to 1500hz on-demand and it ate up battery faster then I would like. But this is with the newest one, a few of the older ones worked out better for me though.

yea, overclocking is mostly for fun, definitely not for battery life

What is the best kernel for PA3 (PARANOID ANDROID)

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:

Best kernel for Nexus 4 on CM10.1.0

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!

ROM with best battery life?

Coming from an LG G2 (long story), battery life is what I miss the most. The nexus 4 has about half the screen on time than my g2 did.
I'm already unlocked and rooted but still stock ROM. Are there any Roms that significantly improve battery life?
I found smart 3G on Cataclysm to be pretty good at saving battery.
ROMs and kernels have little to do with battery. Your usage, signal for mobile data and WiFi, screen brightness, your configuration for location services, gps and the like and your apps determine your battery life.

I'd try Paranoid. I used it for a while after using stock and I found that the battery improved.
roms have absolutely zilch when it comes to battery life. only thing rims can do with battery is reduce it. generally, the more added mods/features a rom has, the worse the battery life. but not always. battery life is determined by hiw you personally use your phone, how you set it uo, what apps you use, and the quality of your phone/data connection. everything else, including kernels, have a very minimum effect on battery.
Well
When I was with Carbon, the play store thing killed my battery to 3hrs on screen time
Switched over to Purity Rom with Hells kernel and I have 5-6 on screen time
WiFi on all the time, no data or GPS or Bluetooth.
Mostly Reddit and a game or two, and a movie

Okay, but why is the battery life better with an another kernel?
I use the HeelsCreed kernel and Mahdi rom. My battery life is better with the HeelsCreed kernel as with the Kernel of the Mahdi rom.
P.S.: I know my english is bad, sorry for that

set up your CPU and everything else just how the kernel sets it up for you, and you'll get the same battery life. be more active, set things up manually.

can you tell the story please , anyway ROM has weee little to do with battery life , its mostly on how you use it and the kernel you are using as well as sync loops and dodgy leaky apps , my personal setup is rom = paranoid android and kernel = hellsdoctor , using synapse app i switched the maximum clock speed to 1.2 Ghz , and changed the maximum core online to two, gpu is overclocked by default , rest is, location settings are turned off only turned on when required , brightness is set to 50 % , no dodgy apps on the phone , i can squeeze about 5 and half hours sometimes 6 its good enough for this battery size though and hope it works out for you :good:

Best rom for battery life in your experience ?

Hi, i'm actually running PureNexus with Kylo kernel and sometimes battery drops 5% in 5 minutes and sometimes in 20 minutes...
So i was wondering which rom is the best for battery life in your opinion ?
Envoyé de mon Nexus 6P
Honestly, your set up should be one of the best for battery life!! If you are having issues, stick to PureNexus rom and try ElementalX kernel, I get great battery life!! But let it settle for a few battery cycles first.
PureNexus has had the best battery life for me. I switch between Franco's kernel (best for battery life with a performance hit) and LeanKernel for the best of both worlds. I get very little battery drain on standby. Franco gets better battery life during the use of the phone at the expense of performance. 5+ hours of SOT is definitely possible for me on both.

I second Franco's kernel. For my usage patterns and signal strength, its the best on battery for me. However be careful when using twrp and Franco. I notice they don't play as nice together.
Pure nexus and lean kernel is the best combination for Me . found it smoother and better battery life than franco
Chroma straight up!
Screw'd with elementalx for me

Everyone will have different opinions really. Depends how you use the phone!!!

Do either of you use a kernel app as well, or just flash the kernel and leave everything at the defaults?

I leave the CPU settings alone. I figure those are the optimal settings.

I can't say if it is the best for battery life but I'm finding Chroma + Franco Kernel to be noticeably better than stock at least.
