Combination for Nougat? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

What combination for ROM/kernel are you guys using for Nougat? Just wanted to know what's good for battery these days? Thanks.

I'm using Iyapota's rom + kernel getting 2 days usage and performance is spot on :good:
Try different rom/kernel setups see what works best for you

I'm looking for battery life/performance a good balance between the 2. I like Franco.Kernel but is there a better one that suits those needs? I have a lot of experience but I just don't want to go on a flashing spree and risk breaking something.

All devices react differently with different kernels and roms. That's why there are people that say this kernel is better than the other. Franco is a good starting point. if it's not good, try another kernel. That's the only way YOU will know.

as far as i know, battery life isnt bad on any of the kernels, it would mostly depend on your setup and your usage. if you go into any of the kernel threads, there will be someone that claims that it gives the best battery life. now performance of these kernels do vary, this is where they differ from each other. itll also depend on what your personal idea of performance is. try a different kernel every few days,, it only takes a few minutes to flash, youll find a favorite. just remember, battery life will be more accurate on the 2nd or 3rd battery cycle.

Nexus 4 CyanogenMod 10.1.0
The stock CM kernel works fine for me
I've tried a number of kernels whenever I see a new one released. My personal favorites for performance/battery combo are: Franco, Faux123, Trinity, AK. They each perform mildly different however, and like stated before the best way to find out what's best for you is to try them. Good luck!

[Q] [Kernel]Which one do you suggest?

Hi.
I'm looking for the best kernel for Nexus4 stock ROM 4.4.2.
I tested meny kernels and everyone have some problems.
One is freezing display, ather is draining battery or restart nexus.
I have no idea which one is the best form me.
I don't play games.
Usually I'm using Nexus to talk, WiFi, navigate and call by SIP client.
Stability and saving battery is very importent for me.
Temporary I returned to Franco Kernel r199.
It's work good but not the best.
Which one of all kernels do you suggest?
Try matrix. I am using that for a long time

From what you say: hellscore or matr1ix are the best for ya. :good: Test these 2 and go for the one that suits you the best.

Try moob amazing performance + good battery backup + ice cool phone while playing games ! All you need !?
HellsDoctor, guaranteed 4hrs+ SOT even with light gaming (Subway Surfer, Hill Climb Racing)
Please please best kernel threads are not allowed. Anyways I suggest moob or Mirage kernel

Hellscore and HellsDoctors were OK but now battery is down after 6-7 hours.
I don't know why.
On Franco kernel r199 I can use My nexus even to 20h.
Today I was upgraded My navigate app (1,8GB) by WiFi and now I have 60% battery and 11h using Nexus.
WiFi and 3G is always ON.
GPS is On when necessary.
I'll try matrix and moob.
Best kernel threads are not allowed. As you can see, you have several posts with as many different answers, leaving you with the exact option had you not even created this thread: go read the kernel threads and search and try them for yourself.

Which custom ROM to pick?

Would be lovely if we could get a brief introduction of the different custom ROM's out there for S6 Edge Plus.
I can update this post with what I/we learn.
Okay, I can begin with asking; which ROM has most features, customizations and 'neatyness'?
I'm currently running BoBCaTRoM.

As we have not much options in present days, you have a chance to try them all. In my opinion; Audax is the best.. Seems not has many features? You can do all as you wish. Thanks.
I'm currently using the CRISSCROSS ROM v1.6. It's extremely good and you can add and remove alot of stuffs on the ROM (under AROMA Installer) before you are installing the ROM. So there are alot of options to choose from.

How is the batterylife so terrible man? Im using the same rom, could you please share screenshots of your battery screen, Screen on time etc? Maybe you should try an another kernel or optimizing apps..

Sorry, guess I was not that clear...

Lol well then. Im not such a good battery optimizer man but i can say that generally get 5h,5.30h screen on time(doesnt matter whats the total)with Audax rom+ SkyHigh kernel.. Bad or good batt life dunno but like the way that combination.

which rom has the best battery life?

I was wondering which rom has the best battery life. can anyone suggest to me a rom that has a good battery life? I'm still new to this so yeah I appreciate the help thanks!
CM13 is the best without tinkering with settings BUT it's up to you what you choose
Hydrogen OS, has the best battery performance that I seen until now. Great control over apps consumption and customisable.
I tired both cm13 and hydrogen apart from the stock oxygen os but I would suggest you to try Exodus 6.0 and I assure you'll never look back. have a good day.
Oxygen has best battery life
Oxygen and hydrogen right now.

Kingmercian (H2OS) gets me battery life that rivals what I had with SkyDragon (OOS) with the Boeffla Kernel. I haven't seen any need to try flashing any CM13 ROMs while I'm using Kingmercian as my daily driver.

Battery life depends on uses, it always different for different people. One rom can give 6hrs sot to someone and same rom can give other only 4 hrs.
So try various ROMs and tweaks for yourself and decide.
Btw i am on stock oos and i am quite happy with battery as i m getting approx. 6.5 hrs sot.
I'm using this one NXROM at the moment and I'm loving it. Smooth and great battery, but like @sushant6786 said. It all depends on apps you use, how you use your phone. What's great for me might be woirthless for you.
The best you can do is try different roms and feel for yourself. Try some that people recommend to you and make up your own mind
Good luck in your search for a rom that suits your need

I've done around 4 hours of SOT, but I haven't pushed it to see how much I could get. Still had juice left when I put it back in the charger.

NXROM is based on cm13 .. I have tested it and the battery is good but i had commom problems like in cm builds like wifi problems.
I have tested almost all the roms for our 1+2 and i can say that the best in battery with the same use are: h2os from kingmercians + skydragon v3.3 oxygen based (with boeffla kernel is better) and exodus rom. But where i got more sot was in h2os (5h30) with wifi always on and no powernap, amplify or grenify.

I can vouch for Kingmercian's H2OS as well, it's the definitely the clear winner (based on my daily usage). I ran Seraph's CM13 for a while but dropped it due to its heavy drain. As for LP-based ROMs, both OxySlim and Skydragon performed very well for me, at least when compared to stock.

Which Kernel is the best for battery life/standby drain?

Or is it best to just stick with stock kernel?
I'm on elemental kernel right now and honestly I feel I had better standby and all around better battery on stock.

You can flash through exkm in tools. A 9.0.7 rooted stock boot.img is in the forum somewhere. It will not wipe anything

I tried it and had very high standby drain with it. What is the point of a Kernel if not for better battery life? LOL
Battery life is subjective to personal usage if someone gets 10hrs sot + 1 day of standby doesn't mean you will get it, Best advice is to try different stuff and see which suits your needs.

But what do you mean by which one suits your needs? If a kernel has a good battery drain, everyone will appreciate it. Also are custom ROMS worth it these days?

I meant personal needs not every kernel is built with battery in mind some are performance others are just generic code compile with latest GCC and disable warnings... Not worth wasting time with but try them for yourself and see which you like best. Yes roms are worth it if the dev is optimizing for our SoC and not just cherry picking random sh!t.

Nice! Can't wait.. every Dev buddy I know has this phone now, so Its about to go off
And to the one dude, yes try a few, and for at least a couple days each to get a good feel.

Battery life is pretty subjective to personal use as previously mentioned, but i think there is another option in town. The Oneplus 6t MC Edition charger is the solution. I needed proof and YouTube got me the evidence. Check out the video by Dave Lee on Youtube. He does a test on it.
I second Smurf Kernel.
On average I get about 10 hours screen time over 2 or 3 days before I need to charge my phone again.
