[Q] Recommended kernel for Paranoid Android

Anyone have any recommendations on a good kernel for Paranoid Android? Franco, Faux or the default? Thank you.

Franco. Another good pick is Trinity (found here: http://derkernel.com/mako.php# )

Is there a resource somewhere that has comparisons of the kernels? Do people just go off of the reputation of the dev that makes them, how do we know what they do?

No there are no comparisons. All kernels are relatively early in it's releases at the moment. I'd say they are pretty smooth, I go off based on my past experiences. On Galaxy Nexus, I've used between Franco and Trinity, mainly Franco and bought his app so I use Franco kernels only. But all kernel developers are talented, some phones just like some kernels more often.

Yes, there is a comparison! Check this out @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889571

That's for the Nexus 7...

I personally have used PA roms with 3 kernels:
- probuild in rom - was good, but not as smooth as my experience on stock rom
- Franco (r21 and r22) - i have experienced some lags so decided to try another one
- Matr1x (3.5) - currently am using this one and it's very fast and smooth

After deciding I wanted to use my Best Buy warranty and dropping my phone in boiling water (interesting side note, I took it out after about 20 seconds, still worked fine!) I just got my new replacement. Graciously enough it came to me unlocked. I used Wug's toolkit to root it.
I flashed PA, successfully rebooted. Downloaded Franco Milestone 6 onto my GNex, booted to recovery, wiped partition cache, wiped dalvik cache, flashed the Franco zip, and then rebooted. I've tried this exact same procedure three times, and every time my phone gets stuck (waited at least one hour on the boot animation. I'm back to PA w/ stock kernel, but would really like to get Franco working, any ideas/advice?

[Q] Suggestion on which ROM to use.

Hi guys.
I'm in a great dilemma right now.
I like TW but almost all custom kernels are giving me reboots every now and then. :/
Right now I'm using Adam Kernel which doesn't reboot on me, but I need more, like voltage control etc.
So I'm considering either using an AOSP or Google Edition ROM.
Because there are TONS of ROM's out there I'll need your help.
I'm looking for a ROM which:
A) Is completely stable and has little to no bugs.
B) Is not lagging on games, because I game a lot on my S4.
If I'm gonna use a custom kernel I'll definitely need another ROM.
Also I don't care if it's 4.2.2 or 4.3, as long as it's stable and get the job done right.
Anyway, can you suggest some ROM's based on my needs?
Thanks!

Anyone?
Come on, just post the name of the ROM if you're bored!

Best Kernel/Rom threads are forbidden on XDA , this will get closed soon.
And if you can't handle any kernel without reboots except for Adam Kernel (which is pretty much stock) then that tells me your cpu cant handle undervolting mate

Omega if you want a stable TW experience with some customization, MIUI if you want a completly new and awesome experience but can tolerate some issues popping up.
I run MIUI atm

First of all, this isn't a "best rom" thread, this is a thread for suggesting a good rom based on my needs.
Also I've had reboots without undervolting so your argument is a bit invalid I'm afraid.
Anyway, If you're not going to help I'd suggest you stop spamming the thread because I'm aware of the xda rules.
Thanks.

Echoe or WanamLite.

Have tried a quite a few roms atm using echo rom and ausdim v11 kernal. Stable fast and great battery life. GE roms are great. I recommend reading through the threads and choosing the first thing that grabs your eye. Enjoy

Guys, thanks for the help but I'm on Omega and don't want to switch to another TW rom.
I'm looking only for AOSP/AOKP/GE ROM's.
Thanks!

[4.4] [Mod] Qualcomm Dalvik & Bionic KitKat Optimization...

Tested on all 4.4.+ Roms seemed a little improvement mostly on benchmarks scores....?
Make a Nandroid before anything & flash at your own risk...
Don't use ART.
ZIP consists of optimized bionic and Dalvik libraries plus all necessary dependencies. If you end up in a bootloop after flashing, simply re-flash your current ROM. No wipe needed.

Yeah, got 4k boost in AnTuTu score from this.
Haven't really noticed any real difference, though.

Yeah, this optimization works great with overclocking too, stock rom/tk-glitch kernel.

Has nobody else used this yet? Will this work for any 4.4 rom, cm 11 or aokp? And is this better tha trying art?

I have it installed. While I hadn't benchmarked this device prior to flashing, I can say that I'm getting in the 24000's on Antutu post-flash. I also can't speak regarding ART as I haven't enabled it since rooting and only ran with it on for the first day I had it so I don't remember.
Edit: all else is stock, aside from this zip.

30k? How did you get this kind of score? I'm overclocked to 1.8GHz, haven't flashed this, but got 23k is all.
Is there any noticeable advantage of flashing this? I always love to improve my tablet.

Are these any different from the ones here?

Hello, I'm newbie here. I just downloaded the files. How I flash this patch. I did press vol down and power but I cant choose any thing. just written ' downloading do not turn off target'

Closing this thread - it is painfully out of date, and long replaced by other threads. Please do not bump year old threads with new questions.
Additionally, given the problems that this can cause if you don't understand what you are doing, i can only give the friendly recommendation that you do far more reading before attempting this (or other similar tweaks and patches).

Which kernel is everyone using?

I successfully completed the conversion to dev mode and root my device. I have the multi-system kernel at this time but was wondering which kernel gives the best battery life and which are most people using?
The only 2 kernels I am aware of that are available are the emotion and multi-system ones. Is there something else?

My N4 performs well with this multi-system kernel Courtesy of @hsbadr

I've been using the Eceed Kernel by @kairi_zeroblade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/kernel-xceed-t3344742
there is a verizon version. I had no problems flashing this onto my jasmine rom 4.3 running android 5.1.1.
One user reported loosing data(4g) with this kernel but didnt give any info on what rom or firmware he was running.
the kernel works great so far, much better battery life. Scores 82,000+ consistently on antutu.
The kernel comes pre configured. The only things you can change if you wish is the cpu voltages, cpu currents, and a couple of read ahead tweaks in Synapse
the only thing I noticed was some camera lag (a bit slower to open and to switch from front to rear) that @kairi_zeroblade said could be due to the strict cpu settings. I believe hes working on a 6.0 MM kernel right now that should work for verizon.
Definitely worth a shot to check it out!!!! If you have any feedback just post in the original thread.

Got same results in antutu which is pretty awesome as fast as s6 but have no data on kyubi'so rom

This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...nt/firmware-safe-upgrade-to-lollipop-t3313224

I use the screen mirroring option all the time. I would say test that out to determine which kernel is best for you. I know one of the kernels floating around doesn't support screen mirroring which is a big no no for me.

Xceed comes pre tweaked. The only thing that may give a little more speed is changing the internal and SD card read ahead from 512 to 2048mb and cfq as the scheduler. Most other adjustments are untouchable

So looks like the kubyi rom will not work with this kernel. :/ I'm guessing the data fix will have to be patched into the Xceed kernel.
I haven't had the time to read through this:

Is it only for the n910t varient?
Does anyone have any info on the data fix for the verizon kernel so maybe @kairi_zeroblade can add it to the next build.?

What info do you want to know about the datafix for Kyubi? It has multisystem kernel included. So far that is the only kernel that is compatible with Kyubi. No changes to the kernel were made to make it work with Kyubi. It just happened to work when I tried flashing Kyubi on our phone. So it became part of the datafix since it worked so well. I think if anything, @kairi_zeroblade should talk with @hsbadr the developer of multisystem kernel. We got lucky that hsbadr's kernel worked !

I was thinking there was some type of patch or fix @hsbadr may have implemented into the multisystem kernel to get it to work. looks like @kairi_zeroblade is focusing on marshmallow though which should be awesome! Can't wait for us to get the update

I just re downloaded emotion kernel and am going to try it for a little bit.. Strange thing is, my battery percent jumped from 20 to 42 after reboot.. I will have to see how it goes..

I second the Eceed kernel. Im on the jasmine rom and was using the emotion kernel but I noticed a fast drain on the battery. Switched over to Eceed a few days ago and have experienced a huge improvement on battery life, without the sacrifice in speed. Thanks Joemill for the suggestion.

Read about Exceed kernel so I gave it a try and thats the one Im sticking with. Runs great,using Jasmine Rom with it as well,battery life is great and my phone is very quick,highly recommend it.

smooth and fast in nexus 6p

Wich ROM, mod, kernel or combination of two of them give me the best experience in android?? I m looking for an Android system fast, smooth and best battery life. Thanks to all

If something was the best, nothing else would be used as there's no point in using something that's inferior when you can get something better.
There is no best, I suggest you read each thread and pick one that suits your needs. Saying X ROM and kernel is the best is like saying a specific vehicle is the best...One may say a Ferrari and another may say an F-350. But who's right?
Some people like roms and kernels bloated with 1000 customization options filled with placebo "optimization and enhancements". Others prefer a clean, minimal ROM without all the useless bling that they'll never use.
P.S. there's probably 10 threads like these, and possibly 11 by next week that you could've read through. I'll just copy and paste this same post on the next one.

Using the phone for SMS/MMS, YouTube and web browsing. I can get ~ 5/6h sot with a full charge on WiFi and ~ 3h30 sot on 3g/LTE which is enough for me.
Also using custom CPU governor profile in EXKernel Manager helped me with battery life without affecting performance (at least not that I noticed). You can find more infos here:

F2FS + Dark ROM + FLASH kernel ! That's the best combination and I am a serial flasher

These people that are saying there isn't a best ROM, I don't really understand the reasoning behind this. There most certainly is a best ROM kernel combination. Otherwise all these ROMs and kernels would be exactly the same right? Sorry to say, some are better than others. This is just a fact.
If you want speed, smoothness, glass, breakneck speeds, great battery life, there really is one only choice.
Uber rom by Chad and faster kernel by Chad.
Why?
On f2fs, (trust me, you want f2fs) I have yet to find kernel or ROM combination that beats this.
Its the only rom that's built with GCC 6.3.1, and the only rom built with clang 3.9.1. Coupled with f2fs, this rom FLIES.
I have flashed every single ROM on this forum and then some, and I'm telling you this is the best combination you can possibly hope for:

Uber rom by Chad I definitely agree is the best. I tried using his faster angler but it caused problems with mods like viper4arise so I am sticking with flash kernel. Uber by Chad is definitely the best rom though and I have tried so many roms like pure nexus, resurrection remix, dirty unicorns, sixRom, lineage, cyanogenmod, nitrogen, Cortex and so many more.

Is the stock camera working on either Uber or Dark ROM with f2fs file system?
Thanks

There's no such thing as a best rom fact, but only best rom opinions, which isn't a good idea to ever discuss here. [emoji14]
As for battery, that all depends on you as a user to manager your battery life your way. I get 4+ SOT easily and I listen to a lot of music and text a lot.
As for what I'm using, I'm running ABC Rom with franco.kernel, root, and V4A. ?

I basically just wiped cache and dalvik/art cache and flashed the rom and kernel and all my mods. I also made sure to do stuff like rename audio effects and everything I did to make it work with flash. I use stable 2.4 deutronomy aroma installer. I was talking to someone else on this rom and kernel and he said he had the same problem too so it might be hit and miss or maybe you flashed it different than us. Please tell.me what you did to get it to work. Thanks

What partitions do you guys convert to f2s besides cache? Data as well? Everything else remains ext4?

Running stock has been great for me lately. Downgraded to 6.0.1 running Xposed for pixel mods. Amplify and greenify. With exkernel has been a great experience so far. Near 7h SOT yesterday. Will be going back to 7.1.1 soon, as the February update is out.. I heard lineage OS has good battery life. Will be trying that out soon in a few days.
