I've been wondering, what is the absolute most recommended KitKat compatible kernel for battery life, while staying mostly smooth? I personally don't mind a hiccup every now and then, but I just want the best battery life possible. I've been using Faux's 029 kernel and I was impressed, but I felt I shouldn't just settle there if there are better alternatives.
Cheers for any help possible, and my sincerest apology if this is a regularly asked question, but I haven't found an answer.

Okay, massive apology, I don't tend to read that sort of stuff.
I have to admit, I don't read sticky posts most of the time either.
Just try a few kernels and see what you like.

Newb or just a mistake? A lot of the "usage patterns" crap is actually just stuff they make up to avoid spam. Basic stuff like CPU usage and background stuff works on all usage patterns.

All newb! Just about any experienced xda member and smartphone user knows battery life is USER subjective and every device reacts differently to each kernel/rom . So I know you are like 15 but just try and remember important facts like these and that you just posted the number one no no thread hands down besides a eta thread.
PS.. the power of android and custom kernel/Roms is that YOU can flash different combos and then decide what works best for YOU.

Apologies, but assuming most people would want to use the device normally, with the screen on, things like CPU usage aren't entirely pattern based. True, wakelocks and background tasks raise the usage, but the rate at which the clock speed maxes and the rate at which it scales down doesn't usually work based on the way the device is used.

No they work depending on the kernel and how its designed to scale, once again this is kernel dependent, so posting this in the appropriate kernel thread you are using is much wiser.

I posted this in the general section because I thought this section would be more visited. Also, the whole point if the thread is that I'm looking for a good kernel, so of course that stuff is kernel based. I may only be in my teens, and yes I derp A LOT, but I usually know what stuff means.
Go to the Dev sections and find good kernels, its not difficult, read first, use second, post third....

I noticed that even though the ICS source code is now available Google only has Android 2.3.7 drivers for the Nexus S 4G's internal hardware (CDMA/WiMAX, Orientation Sensor, etc) available currently. Is it possible to compile a working version of ICS using the Android 2.3.7 drivers for the Nexus S 4G? Also, if I follow Google's compile instructions to the letter is there an easy way to backup my current stock ROM? Google's official stock ROM's for the Nexus S 4G phone has a script called "install-recovery.sh" that runs on boot removing Clockwork. Am I correct in assuming that ICS would do this if I compiled it myself per Google's instructions and flashed it to my phone?

This isn't dev section material... And there are already working builds of ics if you don't want to go through the hassle of doing it yourself...
Although! If you do compile your own, then post it in our lovely dev section.
Follow the leader @corythug
I'd rather compile my own. As stated in my original post I just need a couple of questions answered first. Otherwise there won't be any new ROM's from me in your so-called lovely dev section.
This will be moved once a mod sees it, but, next time know this. People will be more apt to help you out if you put a thread like this in q& a or even maybe general instead of mucking up dev forum with a non dev thread.

OP, I apologize for the others lack of decorum on this site. I am afraid that I am not much help, but I have a couple of suggestions:
As far as the backup, you can make a nandroid and once you are done playing around you can reboot into the boot loader and use the fastboot to reload the recovery onto the phone. From there you can re-install the nandroid backup. Keep in mind that you might want to copy the backup off of the SD card just in case you need to lock/unlock the phone. (This erases the sd card.)

Disagree. What's the point of covering something that is extremely easy to find? A bit of a joke with a sprinkle of ridicule goes a long way to teach a lesson that 99.9% of questions are answered already and are easy to find using google.
I think it adds a bit more confusion and extra work to sort threads out. However, I'm not driving the ship!

I've recently bought my Nexus 7 32GB Wifi, and I'm kinda flashaholic... And since I'm new to this device, I don't really know which ROMs are the best... As I've seen, most of the ROM OPs do not post ROM-bugs, which I find pretty frustrating, so I'll give you guys a list over things I'm looking for (I think you know more great ROMs than me, since I've just had my Nexus for 4 days!).
I like the stock ROM very much because of its stability, but I miss some customizations!
Okay, here's the list over what I'm looking for:
-A very stable and bugless (almost) ROM!
-A well-featured ROM with many customizations...
-A fast and powerfull ROM which don't shorten my tablets lifetime! (I'm thinking of no under/overvoltage, etc...
-And ofc... Android 4.2.1+
-The ability to place any widget on the lockscreen!
-Good battery-life!
Don't hate me if I want too much...
Thanks!

I totally agree to the above opinion. To select your ROM, the following thread may help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36018963
If this is your 1st time to flash a custom ROM, i recommend CyanogenMod or AOKP. If you're looking for ROMs for tablet UI, please try ParanoidAndroid or SGT7.
Anyway ,try many ROMs to find out your favorite. enjoy
Seriously? If you scroll down just a little, you will see 1000 people who asked the same question. Read those. People starting new threads to ask this exact question twice every day insane, and has to be bad for server space. The devs take alot of time to write out exactly what their rom offers, bugs, pros and cons so you can be educated. To not read them and take the lazy route and srart a new thread is disrespectful to their efforts. Sorry, but after seeing this same thing so many times, it gets rediculous.

The issue is that thread such this are tiredly pointless. No one but you can answer your question. The only rom that you should choose is the one that you try for yourself and; ends up being what you like. No one is clairvoyant enough to predict what will give you the feature set you'll be happiest with or how a given rom will perform on your unique hardware.
The mods invariably lock these threads a soon as they catch wind of them for this very reason. I imagine the only reason it survived as long as it has is only because it hasn't popped up on their radar yet.
Rather than wasting your time and energy asking what you should choose, go to the Dev forum, read up on some of the offerings available, and then test drive the ones that pique your interest until you find the one that satisfies you.
No hate- just sound, practical advice.

Closed, we don't allow best ROM threads. Try them and see
I do not know if I missed something essential but I really would appreciate if the admins of S3 I9300 would split the developer thread into two threads. One which hold all the ROMS and another that hold all the MODS, KERNEL, ETC.
As the thread grows its getting more and more cluttered. Sometimes I just like to brows through the ROMS and try some of them out and sometimes when I am satisfied with the current ROM I would like to gather some random mods.
A question: Does anyone know how to mod the CM10.1 so that I get more reboot options and more importantly the option to shut down apps by holding the back button?

A chaotic post...
All forums on XDA are similarly ordered, to not be chaotic. Just read the description of each subgroup, to find what is where. It's pretty self explanatory really. Also read the stickies that lists and links to popular ROM, kernels, themes etc.
Best asking in a CM thread, for CM related questions.

Vote chaos......but then I would... I'm an anarchist!
Why not just search threads for [ROM] or [MOD]???
CM has hidden the reboot options toggle in the dev settings. Higher security and all that.
