Hey guys im really sorry for making this threat but i cant decide wich rom is up to date and good for my usage or wich one is the "best" at all.. well im not really sorry for this threat.. neither for the people who might flame me because i don't get into it..
at this time i use sixperience and got horrible battery lifetime.. i use the kernel wich comes with the rom.. before i used xtresto(?) with mighty kernel.. with that combination i got a good battery life but sometimes i got app crashes and some unnormal background aktivation..
so tell me whats your favorite ROM and Kernel combination..
Thanks for any answer
Id like some information regarding this topic too

ok so i finally learned how to do things with my mt4g....clockworks mod, cm6/7, and all the whoha stuff........but i need some help/input.......
looking for whats popular for the folks out there.........and this is for me. Now i dont mind sense or anything.......im looking for the best rom, kernel for battery and performace.....now i had trouble with the smartass kernel, i was having major battery drains but maybe im doing something wrong......so here is an example to help me out.......what would be be?
example:
Rom: CM 7 nightlies build 32
kernel: smart ass
cpu set: 1117/245 or something
also i want everything to be working......or at least wifi and the qik video chat..........
can you guys help me out? ive been switching and switching roms over and over
Hi guys we have loads of Roms for our nexus 4 and i am fairly new to this device and dont know whats best to go for.
My question is..I am wanting a rom that's close to stock but modded for better battery and i dont need it all flashy if that makes sense..
I have had a good look through the threads choose and running purity at the moment and its a nice rom but battery is not great and i do not have a good mobile signal yet my signal is well strong on other devices in the same place.? (my house) three network UK
any pointers?
cheers

Try different kernels.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
theres no best rom, only the best rom thats good for you. try out a bunch, find what you and your device likes. also, if looking for battery life, try out a bunch of different kernels. eventually youll find the combination thats perfect for you.

Sabermod by @sparksco is amazing. Close to stock with just the right amount of tweaks. No useless features or mods. I like minimal Roms, im not a big fan of sacrificing performance and stability for useless features. Its compiled with linaro toolchain so its very fast, and battery life is amazing as well ( i get 5.5 hours screen on time, and 2 days of moderate to heavy use. Just idling the phone will last 5 days). Comes bundled with a really good kernel as well. Give it a try.

For the biggest gain in batterylife you could try flashing a custom kernel and possibly underclock or undervolt it, this also decreases heating. The radio is responsible for mobile connections. You could try flashing a different radio to improve the signal from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227. Myself i`am running stock 4.2.2 rom and Franco kernel and am very happy with it. there are other kernels that are also very good. Best is to try them out yourself.

Not to go too far OT here, but how is franco battery wise? i was thinking of giving it a go.

I think Franco is great for both performance and batterylife and off course color and sound control. But thats my preference, other users like other kernels better.
Each Rom will react differently on each device. The only way to find out what works best for you is to try them out on your own.
Hi there,
As I found out a few minutes ago, it seems that I can move Blinkfeed to another home screen.
In that case I'm considering returning to a custom Sense Rom. But as there is a lot of good choice, I'd really like to know which ROM has best battery life...
At this moment I'm using ARHD and this rom has tremendous battery life... So I hope there is a Sense rom that can compare to that... And also to that speed...
I know it's a kind of personal choice, but I assume there will be a bunch of people that have tested more custom roms before staying to use the one they use now...
Thanks...
Please just read the battery threads. "Best" rom threads are not allowed

I9500 or 9505?
To be honest, the official TW roms are super battery friendly (really don't know why).
I tested my phone an my friends and he had 90% left while I was at ~80% left with half the screen on time.
..
For 9505 you can use a lot kernel. Hulk imperium ael etc. Etc. You can test best life.
But for 9500 we have not much choices we have 1 kernel 9505 is luckier.
I think stock roms good without customizations when we customed battery getting worse again i am not happy about battery.
Edit: yes kitkat was better for 9500 i dont remember 9505 i had sometimes. Then i got 9500.
I get 2hour screen time like kidding

Touchwiz ROM's definitely, without a doubt for me - they have the most features by miles (not necessarily best battery life)! As for which specific custom T/W rom? There are so many to choose from. The best is to try them all out until you find THE ONE that resonates with YOU - that's half the fun... and it won't cost you a cent (unless you donate something for it!
I don't even want to mention NAMES because I feel it's UNFAIR to promote one ROM over another (especially when their differences are few and far between), but a good indication of a GOOD ROM is normally the amount of posts and views it received in its thread. Read through it and check the comments to make up your mind. Then take that bold step.
Good luck and have fun!

Halcyon's v9.1 or quantum rom is pretty good. I've tried quantum rom, aroma installer let's you pick what you want to install as a system app in setup. You can install exactly zero samsung bloatware if you want.
My only problem with it is the sluggish struggle known as touchwiz. It's not too slow, just... slow. CM based roms OTOH fly past it with reckless abandon but seem so fail at battery life.

I saw S4 and assumed wrongly then. Good luck to you in finding a good rom for 9505.
If i9500 performance is anything to go by, latest CM-based roms (if one of them works for you) are awesome unless they feast on the battery.
You may have options for that though, I think there are more than 1 kernel for 9505. One of them may give good battery life.
I've been trying a lot of different CM12.1 builds on my 9505 lately. As they come, battery life is usually average at best. I greatly improved it by flashing the alucard kernel and undervolting my CPU. I found that I could easily shave off up to 100mV off my CPU at pretty much all frequencies without losing stability. Now my battery lasts a day and a half, which is more than I'd get with any stock ROM. I tried it with Resurrection Remix and got the same results, oly it had more bugs so I switched back to CM.
Hello, i am rooted with stock rom 4.5.10.
Can anyone suggest me a good kernel that could help with the performance of the device. or should i stick with the stock one.
Depends on your usage. If U want a even better performance is ElementalX a good one. Easy flashing process with AROMA options (ability to overclock)!
No such thing as best, just flash a few and see what you feel brings you the best performance
Hi, i am in the same case of you, i have flashed "simpleGX 1.11 kernel" to have performance and a really good battery life. And yes, it is very smooth and i stay 3 days with my battery charge..! for me it is a very good kernel for the moment. i think to try blue spark kernel but for the moment i am happy with SimpleGX kernel...

3days?? may be very light to moderate use?
Blu Spark is designed for performance. Boeffla for stability and Franco to extend battery life. Usually kernels are designed to provide something different than the stock kernel and the description at the top of the thread for the kernel should give you an idea of what the dev was trying to do. I honestly wouldn't recommend ElementalEx. It's a very vanilla kernel that is available for almost every device but they don't do much to optimize the kernel for individual phones. I use Blu Spark. Personally I think you are better off with kernels that are made for stock OOS.

worst answer ever.
I did unlock/root/flash roms on 30-35 devices, for friends/family and myself.
And even if XDA members do not like ''best rom/kernel'' threads, its very usefull for a quick search, because i.e. my friend want simply a stable rom and I don't want to test every roms or read the thread's 200 pages.
Wihout pointing the ''best rom/kernel'' you might maybe help by pointing the cons and pros .
Here my reply for this thread :
After reading the Franco XDA interview, he was pointing the fact that there's not much work to do on kernel in general, because they are out-of-the box already good.
My first device was a desireZ, with froyo 2.2, back in the days, kernel works was badass, and make huge changes to the devices, but now, I agree that there's not much difference, at least for now, since this OP5 is crazy fast.
I do use Franco kernel, as per Franco's thread, he's stating better battery life. well, hard to tell , since he won't achieve 125% better battery life... It might go around 10%. Which is good, but hard to tell on day to day usage, since 10% is about my usgae precision time if I compare all my usage over each days.
So far so good, no cons.

Worst answer ever? I'll admit I could have shared my setup for OP to try as well, but other than that, "worst answer ever" is a bit dramatic.
XDA members don't like the "best ROM/Kernel" threads because of my original point, there really isn't a 'best', it is subjective to your needs/usage. A kernel I find to be an absolute beast in performance can end up being mediocre at best to you. And again, that all boils down to each user's unique usage.
Telling a user what works best for you isn't going to be as good as the user trying it out for themselves; getting that first-hand experience with a certain kernel will give that user a much better idea, and that's why I said flash a few and see what they like best (no need to flash every single one or read through 200 pages...).
Like I said, I admit I could have shared my ROM/Kernel combo originally to give OP a starting point, but that doesn't take away from my main point(s).
Anyway, I don't mean to get into a whole debate about this with you, a handful of users have already responded and hopefully OP has found a kernel they prefer.
For what it's worth, I've used both Lightning and Blu_Spark, both have provided me with excellent performance and battery life (On PureFusion).
