Is stock kernel the best? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have amazing battery etc. just wondering if there is a better kernel overall?

This question is not easy to answer, it also depends on what rom you are using.. I have really good overall experience with dr87 kernels on stock roms. But i would recomend to flash and try.

Advice for N910F lightweight and battery friendly ROM

Hello,
I am asking for your contribution in order to find a ROM that provides good performance while giving good battery life.
I am using Emotroid v8 but I find that the ROM implements lots of stuff I don't need (customisation, themes...)
I want a debloated ROM, Touchwiz or stock (I would prefer stock though)
What would you suggest?
Thanks for your answers
Alexandr debloated ROM base. The COH4 one. I'm using it after the stock COH4 ROM and so far it's much quicker, doesnt have the freezing after ending a call bug that I experienced with the stock ROM, and so far the battery life is stellar.
I highly recommend it.

Pure Android experience for LG G2

Hello! I've been using Cloudy ROM for a long time but now I feel lack of RAM on my G2 Int. That's why I search for the ROM as close to pure Android as possible. Please, advice me some. Thanks!
P.S. I record a lot of video so tell me what to install in addition to this ROM in order to capture nice photos and videos. Thanks a lot.
Resurrection Remix
Give a try to Resurrection Remix rom, one of the best I've been testing.
Any LG ROM is better than any AOSP/CM ROM for G2. Fact. Stay on LG ROMs.

Both roms have pros and cons.
On AOSP (MM) multitasking is much better.
On LG Stock camera and battery is better.

You can try exodus and cm13 or blisspop.
I have benchmarked on exodus rom , clean install, via antutu benchmark and i get low score than my currently installed lollipop stock with bunch of apps and stuff.
Anyway , for me , if you dont want lots of customization and stuff, or not looking to get a marshmallow on your device, then flash stock lollipop, root, install twrp, install dorimanx kernel, greenify with exposed, and enjoy highest possible battery life.
go for the rom called Google edition 1.5. Flash Dorimanx. Be happy.
I use Dirty Unicorns with Lambda Dominó kernel and right now i have the most high batt/speed i ever had on my G2...
I'd say:
- for lightweight stock experience take somboon's stripped-down rom
- for a modern UX rom, take Ice-x rom. Take this one if You want to focus on photos and videos.
- for an up-to-date original android experience take Dirty Unicrons and Exodus roms. Both are AOSP base, both offer stability and lots of features.
These roms don't offer milions of customisations, but provide a great experience with excelent batterty life. At least for my D802.
I used all of them them as car navigation and did a lot of document photographing for my work.
All 4 are good daily drivers and never failed me.
It is up to You to tune the roms to Your needs. I have found out that both Dirty Unicrons and Exodus don't really need a custom kernel.
However Dorimanx's kernel is highly recommended for stock-based roms.
So I recomend You Ice-X with Dorimanx's kernel, but I don't know which version will work best for You.
I add that the AOSP MM roms are heated much more than the stock. Stock 25ºC-36ºC and 32ºC-44ºC AOSP...
With the lambda kernel and underclocking they improve a bit, but still warming up the phone rather than the stock, especially when using some app like the camera, gps,...
- For AOSP MM and great customization, Resurrection Remix rom [6.0.1_r46][UBER-GCC 4.9][CM13], great rom, + kernel lambda stable, improve overheating.
- For stock rom for my the best is ROM 5.0.2. stock based SRKG2-4-10 (Fast,Stable,Yummy) [3 In 1 ROM with Thai Food Names]

Best custom rom + kernel currently?

Thinking about switching from cloudy 3.3 to a custom rom.
Is the cm13 the best now or is there something similar or better?
Also, what kernel should i be using if i decide to switch?
You can try CM13 based Roms as well.
I'm on MIUI8 Rom right now which looks really nice! And it has some useful tools you can only find on MIUI Roms. But...it has got a few bugs which developer is always trying to fix them but well...they might be annoying for some people!
You can also try some CM13 builds which are bug-free and smoother but...it's pure Android so no special tool. It's up to you
But I'm pretty sure that Lambda kernel is the best kernel to use on CM/AOSP based Roms. You may want to give it a try.

[Q] Stock or Custom Rom?

I'm actually using 8.0 stock rom, but I was thinking to install an custom rom but I don't know, what did you guys think is better? In terms of battery, performance, gaming, etc...
In case you prefer a custom rom, which one do you recommend?
I am on Stock (been using Stock+Franco kernel but decided to go back to completely stock). If you want best battery life then install kernel like Franco or Mint. If you want more customization then consider using Custom ROM. Good custom ROMS are AEX and RR. Maybe theres more but i didn't bother checking it out since i'm on stock.

Any rom or kernel better than Stock?

In my experience the best SOT I got was with stock rom. Custom roms and kernels do not give me as good battery as stock rom. Anyone experienced differently? If so, please share Rom+kernel combo.
I would like to know too. But custom kernels as of this date for our devices doesnt seem to live up to their purpose in giving performance and better battery. Most of them only gives you better idle battery management but has problems like slow charging etc. Damn i wish we have huge number of devs like in RN5pro
I am searching for some custom ROM which can be used as a daily driver as this is my primary phone.
Hope our developer bring it
Android Pie ROM is better then stock in my experience. If you want otg support it isn't for you.
AEX 5.8
AEX 5.8 + Darkonah Kernel v3 = Very good battery backup and butter smooth. Also, you can try PBH Kernel
I tried crdroid rom
I was getting better sot than stock
But it was not as smooth after i installed so many apps
As of now it is the best rom and dev is also very active in fixing bugs
