Good kernel to go with?

Hi all,
I'm looking for a good kernel for my nex7. I'm running latest paranoidrom with stock kernel. Basically i want to OC and keep my tab smooth(and tweak it here and there). Battery is not that important to me. Any suggestions?

try them all, they are all good. find the one that you and your device likes best since every device will react differently with every kernel. i prefer trinity kernel.

In my opinion for me personally, the kernel is the most important custom feature because everything I like jacking with is kernel related.
I like motley's kernels, trinity, and faux's kernels. I run Motley way more than any of the other ones, it's just a really nice and easy combination with really badass performance on my tablet. I try to run every experiemental kernel from trinity too just to keep myself in the loop.
To start with I recommend Motley's 1.11. and try builds 218 and 219 which are the same kernels with different max GPU speeds.
Simms is a kernel expert, he gives out a ton of good advice in the kernel threads.

Thanks for the advice. The reason why im asking this is because on my gnex I started my kerneladventures with franco, and this messed up my ramdisk causing me to reflash my phone. I just want to make sure that it doesnt happen again on my nex7. On the galaxy i run faux kernel, i didnt know it existed for the nex7?

Motley's anykernel installation method makes it real easy to avoid conflicts by not overwriting the rom's ramdisc and things like that, I would strongly advise getting your feet with with his kernel.
Also, make sure you're following the original development section, faux's kernel is in there along with the others.

thats because francisco was defaulting to fsync off and barrier=0 for some time. thats a tricky combination that could cause problems if you ever crashed. he doesnt do that anymore. fsync off is much safer when barrier=1

Any good kernel suggestions for 4.2? I tried m kernel and faux but both dont seem to fit in alk the way...

So... stock?

The rom doesn't really matter, its the kernel that makes a speed difference. Browse thru the kernels in android development section

I read about pure speed x rom ( psx ) but i wanted to know if there's a better rom

All things come at a cost, so desiring both insane speed and insane battery life might not be possible... But, if you're looking for a lot of speed and decent battery life, here's what I've done:
1. Download and nstall the most recent 'codefireXperiment nightlies', which you can find here: http://downloads.codefi.re/synergy/codefireXperiment-Mako/nightlies/mr2. (Y'know the whole shebang, GAPPS are to be downloaded/installed as well)
2. Download and install the latest Faux123 kernel for JSS. Look at his first post for battery saving settings that you can use with Trickster Mod.
3. Download and install an app called Greenify from the Play Store + download and install either FauxClock or Trickster Mod from the Play Store.
4. Profit

as suggested above : update your kernel indeed.
Did you upgrade to JRW66Y first ?
Be carefull to choose the right kernel version : JWR, not JSS ones.

I'd suggest you to use Paranoid Android's latest build with AK kernel and Nova launcher.
Set CPU governor to interactive and GPU to ondemand. You will have very decent battery life and great preformance.

[Q] Best Kernel For Nexus 4 CM11?

Thanks

it depends... always depends
You can try either of these, and then you can check, on your mobile, which is better :
ak's kernel
Hells Doctor with Tardis
Hells Core
In my point of view(and for my mobile setup), the better is Ak, but all of them are great kernels though !

Can't seem to get a download link for 4.4.2 kernel. The one on the official post isn't working. Any luck?

There is no such thing as a best kernel Just head over to the dev sections, try a few and then decide for yourself, as everyone has their own needs/likes/...

Personally, for the Governor I use Ondemand, I/O to SIO. Use MSM Hotplug (not intelliplug), change Max CPUs boosted to 2, Max CPUs Screen Off to 2. And Undervolt as much as you can, but keep the system stable. Mine can go as low as -100mV for all, but keep [384,270, 162, 81] Mhz at 750mV. For me, when my phone is idle, even with LTE on, it'll only lose 1% per hour.
Your overall battery life will depend on how you use your phone on a daily basis. I'd prefer Greenify to keep apps asleep when they're supposed to be.
My settings may or may not work for you. They're just to guide you, so tinker with what you know and see what works best.

ak with crdroid
I can't use ak kernel with crdroid rom "nexus 4"

How do you import profiles in Synapse? I tried importing one of Gorilla P's profiles (from his Mako Stuff folder), but i get invalid file type. I've been looking all over for documentation, but can't find anything.
Thanks.

v246 on CM11S
Hello,
can I flash v246 kernel on CM11S, if not what should i do to get it working on CM11S.

Problem when using VPN server
I having problem while using vpn. No internet at all after the vpn connection are turned on.
I'm using AK R3 build on stock AOSP.

I get noticeable display enhancements on cm when I flash "AK.600.MAKO.CM". But however that's not the case when I flash "AK.R3.MAKO.CM" on the same rom or "AK.R3.CM" on any AOSP build. I tried changing the gamma calibration values but still no change. I want a stable kernel but I can't settle for a "white-ish" (normal nexus 4) display anymore after having used AK.600.MAKO.CM for so many months.
Could you guys help me around with this

Best kernel for Nexus4 5.0.1 ?

Hello everyone , I want a kernel for my og. Nexus 4 , preferably a good,stable one with over clock possibilities and double tap to wake if it's possible because I want to give my phone a new life , like how was when I buyed it thanks everyone any help is well-comed !

I tried all kernels ...but non of custom kernels are good...hells doctor is quite well but not perfect..using euphoria 5.02 stock kernel..and found better than any one..

In my opinion the semaphore is the best custom kernel when taking consideration of stability, performance and battery, otherwise each stock is the most stable ofc, because of the unbreakable relations between common development of kernel and rom by developers.

just search kernels with the features you want and try them. FYI the thread will close shortly. no best... threads allowed because best kernel for every individual is different

Franco doesn't have dt2w.
There isn't a best kernel. You have to try kernels and see what is best for you. There are some great kernels: franco, hellscore, hellsdoctor, semaphore, matr1x, mirage, faux123, unleashed, ak, bricked, nash...
Check their threads to see if it have dt2w.
