I unlocked, rooted, and flashed my nexus 10 only a few hours ago.
Now I have a question, about the Kernels, which are available for the Nexus 10.
Are they worth flashing, and which one is good concernig battery and performence.
I use PAcman Rom
I've had excellent luck with ktoonz manta kernel.
From my S-Off DNA
I second ktmanta, but would encourage you to try them all. Trinity is good for noobs, its stable, fast, and there's not much to mess up. Ktmanta with ktweaker is crazy customizable, but if not careful, you can make performance worse.I've readgood things about franco's kernel, but I've not personally tried it.
Here's a good link to learn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
thanks,
i think i´ll try ktmanta, because i have very much experience with kernels on my sgs2 so i´m not a noob
i also read that FRanco kernel is good, maybe i´ll try.
The one issue with Franco's kernel on the Nexus 10 is that it hasnt had much development so there isnt much to it. Basically a few little patches and adding boost pulse to OnDemand governor and that is it. If you are going to run a flash and forget kernel then Trinity is a much better choice right now.
So I was running stock for a very long time, and I had insane battery life. I usually got 5 and a half hours of screen on time with my usage which mostly included browsing and a bit of youtube-ing and maybe the 30-40 minutes of gaming. I never used it conservatively though, I just didn't need anything else. I had GPS and bluetooth off and I used WiFi only at home (2g, not 3g, when outside).
Anyway, a month ago I flashed PA 3.99 and my battery life has reduced. I only (relatively) get 4 and a half to 5 hours of screen on time. Is this normal? I thought I'll get better battery life with a custom ROM. I'm still running stock kernel BTW.
PA is giving me too many issues including random reboots so I've decided to flash either CM, PSX, Carbon or PACman (help me in deciding from these?). Should I flash a custom kernel too? I'm leaning towards Faux for the battery life but I'm scared it might reduce it!
PS : I just flashed the PA ROM, so I'm still running the stock kernel, right? The thing is, on my older phone, some devs bundled the ROM with a custom kernel. My kernel version says 3.4.0-perf-g04b6fae. Sorry for the noob-ness.
There are just too many factors, the coding, apps installed, kernel, optimization, the user usage pattern, signal quality. It wouldn't surprise me though, but if it work for you stick with it.
Kernel alone doesn't determine the whole picture. I don't use PA, but I don't think it use stock kernel since stock usually ends with "mtv.corp.google.com".
You can check these battery life benchmark for kernels if you want to try, however, I don't go by them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449982

I did exactly the same, and feel exactly the same... I have the same apps, same usage, and I feel like I have a few hours less with this ROM (and same Kernel). I'm planning to give Franco a try, I think, although according to that benchmark it won't give a great battery life either... Have you already tried anyone?
Just a noob question, I haven't yet completely understood that thing about builds. When I was completely stock I was in JWR66Y. Then I only flashed PA 3.99 RC2 (for that build) and now in settings it says JLS36G. It now means that I have to care that kernels get on well with JLS36G? I thought I would stay in JWR66Y.

there are two versions of 4.3..one is stock (JWR) and one is AOSP (JLS)
the AOSP build is more latest in a way..AOSP build has more speed but has random freezes for 2-3 seconds (should be fixed in most of the roms by now) while stock JWR build is not as speedy as AOSP but doesnt have those random freezes.
And yeah you would now have to flash a JLS kernel rather than JWR..and if you want a kernel with good battery life..try hells core kernel which IMO has the best battery life and performance

after trying multiple different ROMs, kernels, etc.. I found that I wasted a lot of time getting geeked-out over nothing special. Sure, it's fun.. exciting... learning.. some minor features that are cool.. but, I do desire to have those hours of life back. Also, I experienced many more downsides than positives. Battery, lock-ups, random reboots, etc. A rooted stock device has served me very well..

Thanks! I had read about the difference between AOSP and stock, but didn't know/remember that JLS always AOSP. I think I felt this one better than stock. I've already been 4 days with it and I'm really comfortable being able to change dpi individually, custom it and use Pie, too, and stability is just as in stock, I think (I only got restarts in both of them while using Skype :S ). I didn't even worry to try CyanogenMod (in all my previous phones I had used it, always).

That's my concern in trying with new, custom kernels. Right now I'm just fine (although I'd like to have a little better battery life), so I'll keep reading and see if it's worth changing the kernel .
Thank you!

the hassle come with flashing a new rom because you have to do a factory reset..with kernel though its pretty simple just wipe cache/dalvik cache flash kernel then reboot. So just try the kernels you think are interesting and if youre not comfortable with it then flash another one..i know its a hassle with rom but not much with kernel.
P.S you guys should really try hells god kernel. Ive been personally using it for 3 months and the battery life is just amazing
I'm getting good battery life with KitKat.

Yeah, I've already flashed kernels in other phones, but never had this risk of compatibility issues due to different builds.
I've read that JSS kernels in JWR roms cause problems. Is the opposite not true? I mean, right now I have a stock JWR kernel running in a AOSP based ROM (JLS). Could this compatibility problems cause boot issues too? Of course, always with tested kernels. Or I'll always have the opportunity to boot into TWRP and flash a new kernel, until one works?
And one last question. When I look for AK's 4.3 kernel I only read JWR and JSS. Why doesn't it say JLS? Is it the same as JSS, then?
Thanks!
I can vouch for the above statements. I'm liking Hells core kernel. It's fast and has great battery life (as good as stock, maybe even slightly better). FWIW, I'm using Carbon ROM now and it's MUCH better than PA.

Sorry i forgot to mention that JLS and JSS are the same build JLS being the latest one..so there is no difference in JSS or JLS. You can flash a JSS kernel on a JLS build no problem. But if youre build is jwr then your kernel build should also be jwr because yes it causes compatibility issues if you flash a jwr kernel on a jss/jls build or vice versa. In every ROM the stock kernel is matched with its build number. If its a jwr ROM then the stock kernel would also be jwr and vice versa.
Flashing a jwr on a jls/jss rom or a jls/jss kernel on a jwr rom might cause the phone to be in a bootloop (not going past the bootanimation) and even if you get it to boot up the performance would be lacking and it might cause random freezes, graphic glitches and or random reboots.
However there are some roms that are a hybrid which means its a combination of jwr build and jls/jss build. In that case you will flash a jwr kernel only nothing else.
So searching comes up with >1 year old threads and not really answering my question.
I got a used N4 recently for my daughter, and I want it to be as fast and stable as possible. I unlocked, then ADB flashed the currrent Google image and then rooted, made it ART runtime and applied the Z2 Bionic lib zip, applied current Franco kernel. Then I was halted in terms of is that the fastest?
Is that best combination which exists right now?
Is CM11 better?
I didn't really form a concluson of the Z2 Dalvik lib vs ART.
From what I know, this patch is currently faster than ART itself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/4-4-4-4-x-qualcomm-optimized-dalvik-t2546120
Since ART is 'experimental' right now of course it lacks of improvements, but I am sure if Android L is released this October this wouldnt be the case anymore.
Also some Custom Roms like Cyanogenmod has its own optimized bionic libs, sometimes better than the stock ones or any patches. I highly recommend you to try this out, because than you dont have to search and compare no more.
In terms of kernel, I would not recommend you to use franco's kernel on a Custom Rom. Make sure to use any other kernel. This is just my personal experiences with franco's kernel and someone might call me too dumb to use this kernel, but why do I have so much trouble with franco and every other kernel runs fine like matr1x, ak or semaphore? Judge for yourself

Right so I saw the claim that sticking with Dalvic and using the optimised Dalvik lib is faster but I gave up keeping track of it as too much "feels" and "benchmarks aren't representative" conclusion.
Noting to avoid Franco with custom ROMs. The custom one I did was CM and Franco warns to not use it!

the fastest.. whatever im using.
but really, these kinds of threads arent allowed on xda since you are asking us to compare roms. oh, ill clue you in a little, cm isnt even close to the fastest. and no, franco kernel isnt the fastest either.
Best ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA
The best bet is to head over to the development sections and try some out for yourself and see which combination suits you best

Hi guys and gals, have a quick question. I have a N910V Verizon variant Note 4 and had been running the Emotion r21 kernel on my highly modified but otherwise factory TW 5.1.1 rom. I have been looking for a kernel that works and has f2fs support because I want to try it out. Today I found an awesome kernel, the AEL 5.1.1. Ed. 3.10.101 kernel for the N910F/G dated March 16, 2016. I cannot find anywhere that says this kernel may or may not have f2fs support. Does anyone know if it does??

Yea I guess I can always try it and restore back if it doesn't work. Might just do that later
Chuck
--------------------------SOLVED----------------------------
OK well I did a Nandroid backup, changed /data and /cache partitions to f2fs filesystem and restored my data backup and boy the system did NOT like that, so I'm guessing this kernel doesn't yet support f2fs. It would be nice if I could somehow add the support to it in the existing kernel. Does anyone know possibly how I could achieve that??
Chuck
ael is a kernel without public sources, so, you cant have any trust in this kernel.
Some time ago, I used a kernel with f2fs in note 3, and honestly I did not see any advantage.
However if you want to try f2fs, my advice is, leave the ael kernel for children, its not a serious thing, and compile your own kernel.
It is not difficult to make a kernel with f2fs, from what I remember in note 3, the major difficulty was in changing the ramdisk.
Currently I have no time for these activities, but maybe in a few weeks I can have some free time for this.

Thanks for the reply. That sucks about not trusting this kernel. I've been running it close to a week now and actually like it better than the Emotion kernel I was running. It is so smooth and battery life has been great, even with a mild overclock! If I could ask, what would I not be able to trust about this one? Anyways, I might look into compiling my own kernel but I've never done one. I am a power user so I wouldn't be scared to try lol. If you do end up trying in the coming weeks then I honestly would appreciate it but you don't have to on my account

but it was you, who said, that the ael kernel supports f2fs but that does not work. It seems to be a untrusted kernel.

No, I didn't say it supports f2fs. I said that I was looking for a kernel that supports f2fs and I couldn't find anywhere that lists the features of the AEL kernel so I could see if it does support f2fs. Since I couldn't find a list of features or a changelog, I decided to try it and see if the support was there, but it wasn't :/

We have another post for ROM. Why do we not have another post for Kernel ?
As we can see, we have more than 5 kernels that are from XDA developer or someone else. But which one is really good for your ROM and which one still keep updating ?
I have been using OP5T for 2 months. Have used so many kernels but i still got stuck in those and do not know which is more stable. I am planning to use the kernel from Blu_Spark. Is that good ?
Post your favourite kernel and tell everybody why you use that. It will help newbie to pick what they want.
I am using Flash kernel at the moment but I have already tried Blu, franko, arter, ElementalX etc, but honestly for me it's difficult to see any difference since this phone have already a great battery life and great speed. On my previous phone (S8) the custom kernel gives a big advantage since the phone have tons of bloat and and isn't running stock like Android.

I have tried Blu and Franco for now and both have been very good. I really think kernel performance depends on the combo with the ROM as well as your device. I'm on Liquid Remix with Franco currently but I may give Resurrection Remix a try with Flash. If I had more time, I'd flash every ROM with every kernel to get a feel for all the possibilities LOL. :good:
For me Franco and flash kernel are the Best.... Now with ob3 with Franco kernel
Enviado desde mi ONEPLUS A5010 mediante Tapatalk
Did the Franco improve battery or performance? Someone Tried the Boeffla?
At the moment, both Flash Kernel and RenderKernel are great options in my opinion. I have tried most of the other kernels on xda and if you are looking specifically for smoothness/speed, these are the two you should test first. I do not run battery cycles; everyones daily use scenario really differs too much.
Flash Kernel currently has some kernel features I need (Kcal support & wakelock blocker) while RenderKernel does not have these features quite yet. While it lacks in some features, RenderKernel is undoubtedly the smoothest kernel for 5T right now.
I am on a 5T with OOS 5.0.3.
I like Franco but recently some custom ROMs have WIFI cannot turn on problem after I flash Franco kernel.

I haven't really played around with Kernel choices much.
I use and appreciate the professionalism of ElementalX kernel.
With it's options to adjust for extreme brightness, it quickly became a favorite a couple years ago and I've just stuck with it since.
Now most devs are adding high brightness to their kernels.
I guess I can start checking other kernels out.
I do like that ElementalX stays very stockish, reliable.
I can pretty much flash it and feel confident nothing weird will pop up over the next few days.

ElementalX, Franco, and flash were all my go-to kernels back in the 6p days (just a few months ago, lol), so it's hard to pick, especially since they all ended up on the 5t. Right now I'm on exkernel though I am partial to flash. Battery life is amazing on all 3, but the overclock on ex just adds that extra bit of smoothness that I've never experienced before. Call it placebo but I just love this kernel (exkernel).
any more input?
im curious to know if fsync affects battery performance at all, can someone also test this out if you are on a kernel that enables disabling the fsync feature

Does flashing a custom kernel solves Google play services battery drain?

Custom kernel has nothing to do with google play services. You need custom recovery to flash a kernel, but most kernels for op5t are "flash & forget" which mean there is no reason to change the setting of the kernel.

maybe not Google play services specifically, but with my latest phone (zuk z2), kernel was directly related to deep sleep
stock OOS/kernel has a serious issue with Google PS in terms of deep sleep. Besides that, I dont feel any need to flash a custom kernel. SOT is incredible already, and performance is really fluid.

If you are OK then there is no need to flash a kernel. If an app is crap (like Google services or facebook) the kernel can't do miracles and its not kernels job to control wakelocks of user apps

Not sure which to stick with but I think new kernel gives me a bit more battery
