Flash kernel or blue Spark kernel with OOS BETA 2 XXX ROM what would be the best combination for performance is to battery ratio ????
Stock
Well If you care about benchmarks stock gave me a score of 182k while blu active gave me a score of 183k on antutu and 6k on stock 6.5k on blue using the geekbench .... basically the same but if you want wakelock control I would go with blu spark and fastlane is nice as well ....as per battery using Snapchat and insta browsing I get active drain of about 9-12 % with background drain of about 0.58% although I don't know how it is compared to flash . As said the device is a tad snappier compared to stock kernel
My personal preference is The Flash, it's basically always updated with the latest version of Linux, doesn't have a crazy amount of unnecessary features and aims to be very stable. Performance and battery life is great for me.
Hope that helps

I'll admit this is not the must scientific of tests but the best I can do.
ROM is Virtuous 3.0.1 on Droid Incredible. Quadrant scores were higher for King kernel than custom. Setcpu turned off. Lower quadrant speed was on custom.
Edit:
Well it seems the XDA app for Android will only let me upload 1 pic. Sorry about that everyone.
FWIW the Virtuous Custom kernel Quadrant speed (which didn't upload) was 1085.
Sent from DInc running Virtuous ROM
New:
Just flashed Redemption ROM and ran Quadrant against the stock kernel installed and first run it came to 1314. I rebooted and ran it again and it came back as 1142. So I'm not seeing a real improvement against Virtuous but I have to say I do like the Redemption theme and "clean sense" of it. Nice job Lou!
Are you planning on testing the battery life, too? (Of course, that is subject to a lot of variables, too.)
Bahill: I plan to do a battery test with both of them at some point though as you rightly said there are so many variables with batteries I'm not sure what I'd be able to show. I'll let you know when/if I do it and what it looks like.
Im running Redemption Rom 2.0.4 with King #5, no setcpu at stock speed, NO OC!
Ran 3 Quadrant tests
1) 1433
2) 1463
3) 1475
and battery life is BY FAR the best out of ANY of these kernels!
Here's the Virtuous custom ROM Quadrant Score image.

Awesome! I've been meaning to try that one out.
Here's a screenshot, like I said, this is at STOCK SPEED with NO SETCPU and battery life is awesome!
I was running King's #5 as soon as I flashed the latest Virtuous (3.0.1). I've finally narrowed down my problem of "snappiness" is that it happens with King's kernals. I'm using the exact same setcpu settings on stock, custom Virtuous, and King's, and any time I'm running king's kernals, I have nothing but problems. Scrolling in the app drawer is not smooth. And the stock and custom aren't always 100% smooth, but I'm talking to get top to bottom, I can do in 1-2 swipes with custom or stock. King's takes 3-5. And within the first minute or two is 10 times worse. I do have a profile to underclock the cpu while screen is off, but stock and custom still do a MUCH better job waking up the phone. Battery life was marginally better with King's, but performance is > than battery imho. There's times I have to wait to dial a number on King's. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I've gone back to custom because it's still snappy.....
Yeah I'd like to see batt life and just overall smoothness.

...like which ROM you're running...
I've had the same problem with King's kernels. My phone seemed laggy as hell running them... even when I tried overclocking.
The custom Virtuous one is smooth as silk. From what I can tell, both are pretty good on battery life. Neither of them jump out at me as being drastically better than the other.
And with the Virtuous kernel, I don't have to reselect Swype as my input every time I reboot... with King's it doesn't start back up properly each time and I have to select stock keyboard, then back to Swype.

Right, but the OP stated Virtuous 3.0.1, so one can assume that stays constant in his 'test'.
http://adrynalyne.us/files/kernels/battery.zip
This kernel by adrynalyne has given me the best battery life and so far it has been completely stable for me. I'm pretty sure this is an experimental kernel so YMMV.

Unfortunately, I think quadrant isn't the best way to go about comparing the kernel's speeds. Kernels can manipulate the benchmarking tests without actually providing any more day-to-day speed:
"Cyanogen posted a troubling tweet about the flaws of Aurora Softworks’ Quadrant application. He specifically pointed to the I/O portion of the Quadrant benchmark test. The I/O test is an assessment of the efficiency of “filesystem access and database operations” on a device. In Cyanogen’s tweet, he says he was able to exploit the flaw to get obscenely high Quadrant benchmark scores by mounting “a tmpfs over quadrant’s data directory.” A tmpfs, or temporary file storage system, can artificially inflate a device’s I/O score and provide unreal benchmark improvements."
Given that the kernel was running at stock speed and came up with abnormally high levels, I would say there is some quirk in the kernel that produces the higher score. This isn't to say that the kernel isn't faster than the stock kernel or hyrda kernel, but maybe not to the extent that the quadrant scores indicate.
I too have had issues with kings #5 and Virtuous 2.7 and 3.0.1 as far as swype, and general smoothness is concerned.
I haven't noticed any significant battery savings over the adrenalyne virtuous kernel.
Hello everyone, I have a problem, first of all I want to say that I disabled all synch, all google services , all wakelock works good. But I get around of 3 h. sreen usage a day( I think it's strange cuz many of n4 users get 5-6 h. of screen usage), on high CPU usage or in 3D games in 1 minute battery level may decrease around 10% , If I browse everuthing is allright, but all the games get my battery killed in a minutes. I have CM 10.1 and matrix kernel without GPU OC plus decreased volts on CPU, So my battery is bad or what? any help?
That is odd. I would suggest to flash stock kernel and stock 4.2.2 . See if that fixes the problem.
3 hours of screen time is average. 5 to 6 would be Highly unusual.

I've flashed 4.2.2 stock rom, now get lower score in antutu (around 17k) I tested rom that way: for 100% cpu and gpu load I played 2 h. in real racing 3 and 1 h. of benchmarks. So I have such a results, what you think is it normal or not?
forgot to say about 100% brightness
Odp: Terrible battery drain on high CPU usage
That's pretty strange. When I flash CM10.1 my antutu score was low. Also when I flash on CM10.1 faux kernel I got multiple crashes so I revert back to stock with enhanced faux kernel. Battery is average and about 17000 score in antutu on stock CPU settings. I think CM work correct with CM stock kernel. In my other phone SGR CM10.1 is super stable.

On CM 10.1 I get about 19k score with matrix kernel 21k result. But when I load cpu&gpu to 100% with games or navigation battery level may instantly decrease by 10%, u can see in 3rd sreen (1st post). Battery discharging schedule is not smooth, I've never seen before such a problem on other android phones. By the way, on stock temp. on full load was around 43 C. on CM 10.1 and matrix was around 49 C.
Also asking for help. Is the battery of Nexus 4 so bad? I am using the stock kernel. And i dropped 3% in half hour without doing anything.

now I'am on stok 4.2.2 with franco kernel... results are below, is it normal for nexus 4? ow my bettery is weak? I thinks most of N4 owners suffer from big battery drain

At 100% brightness, and playing a graphics heavy game. I'd say you're perfectly fine.

One day on battery is pretty damn good
That is normal if you are on 100% brightness
I don't play games and have my brightness set at 25% for normal use and the phone lasts for 2 days at least...
Last night I went to sleep with 42% battery and woke up today with 38%
Not too shabby... but I just got the phone 3 days ago, so will see how it reacts after a few cycles...
I'm on XenonHD 6.0 with Faux kernel (it's the one they integrated in the ROM)
Hope that helps!
Hello all. There seems to be an issue with ak kernel on my oneplus 2. On ak 15, I was only scoring 45k on antutu and getting no more than 4 hours SOT. I didn't know what was wrong so I waited it out. Anyway, today I updated from ak kernel 15 to ak kernel 18 using the official ak kernel updater. I ran a benchmark and still only scored 45k.. What could be the issue? I originally flashed ak 15 over a clean flash of oxygen os. Not sure what the issue is. Can anyone help?

Not quite sure why you're getting those antutu score, but as far as being washed out, I had this issue too. I was able to correct it by going into Synapse and changing the Saturation setting, under Gamma, to 275. Hope that helps!

I'm not having the washed out issue. Only thing I'm bummed about is that I see people getting 62k on antutu or better, and with at least 5 hours SOT, while I'm stuck at 45k in antutu with no better than 4 hours SOT
It's good thing to dirty flash Oxygen OS 2.1.1 and then the AK Kernel v0.18, like suggested from the developer.
The antutu benchmark was influenced by many factor, try it after a reboot with all applications closed and the phone in a cold state after some minutes of non utilization.
The high temperature of cpu give less performance in benchmark.

I tried countless reboots and with no apps open and still, 45k score. I Even let the cpu stay idle for hours. Something else is the issue.
You can try to put your phone in the freezer some minutes and retry
Is better if you trough AppOps if you have root, to disable the autostart of many applications, otherwise they start on boot.
Finally the benchmark isn't a indispensable thing, if your system run smoothly this is the important thing.
Good morning Le Pro3 forum -
I've been switching between Paranoid Android and Lineage OS for the past few weeks. One thing I've noticed very specifically is that PA 7.3.0 (and 7.2.0...) does not seem to effectively go into 'doze' as well as Lineage OS. What I mean is that battery drain overnight is pretty high on PA (10-20%) while Lineage is very low (less than 5%) using the same applications.
So that I can better understand and troubleshoot, would anyone be willing to point me to other forum posts either here or on other forums that dive into troubleshooting this kind of thing? I'm not finding anything that useful that is *recent*.
Thanks in advance!

Slightly tangential, but how is the battery life overall compared to LineageOS? I've been running LineageOS and while it performs well, the battery life isn't nearly as good as stock EUI. As for over night battery drain, I get about 10% in 8-9 hours in stand by.
Hey. I tried every single rom out there from MoKee to Lineage and i can asure u one thing. Best for battery is Omni ROM (latest) + BlackScreen kernel version 3.6
Now i am a medium - heavy user. Lots of time on snapchat and playin games for about half an hour to a hour. I got 6 hours of screen on time wich is great really compared to other roms.
Now i also tried various combinations of using different governors and so on so i tested an option for about three days and then tried another one. I was seeking for the best possible battery life while don't have any stuttering or lags. Cuz if u put the cpu governor for example on impulse and then underclock it too... It lags like hell.
Soo what do u need to do to get also good standby performance?? I loose less than 3% over night.
Try following:
IN KERNEL AUDITOR
CPU: Both big and little cores governor set on alucard
Underclock the big cores to 1900 and little cores to 1440
GPU: governor set to msm-adreno-tz; underclock max frequency to 560 MHz; enable Adreno idler
I/O sheduler: set governor to noop; read-ahead 128 kB
Low Memory Killer: set profile to Agressive
Misc: Vibration strenght set on about 15%, disable Fsync, TCP must be westwood.
_________________________________________
Developer options:
Set logger buffer size to off
Set all three animation scales on 0.5x

That is it. If u have any questions or something doesn't work as written -> reply back
P.S. turn off wi-fi during night. Helps a bunch.

Hi mate, thank you for your detailed review. It helped me especially for kernel auditor settings. But i have an objection in my honest oppinion. I have tried both roms, AICP 12.1 and OmniROM and AICP is much better at battery department. But both rom is great in the rest.

Really, well u know it is mostly how u use it. Cuz for my type of usage Omni works perfect. I was using AICP for a month before i tried other roms as described and it was really good but idk... When i was using it i got 4h and 30min at best with my kind of usage but with omni i got easily 6h. It depends from user to user but well... I will give AICP another shot anyway. I am glad that my review helped u.

yes it helped a lot. especially kernel tweaking thing. both rom is great imho and 1-1.5 hr screen on time difference may marry -as you said- on which programs/apps we use. we must be glad that our le pro 3 has a great nougat support from these beautiful devs and i dont know how to thank to them. i just used 2-3 days this AICP rom and i will give also a shot to OmniROM to compare them again. I love both roms and i am sure i will keep switching between the two

The stock kernel is actually pretty good in terms of battery life and most custom OOS kernel will either be the same or better. Franco kernel has always been renowned to be one of the best when it comes to battery life. Blu_Spark and Affinity kernel are both good all rounders. From my experience with EAS kernels, they tend to drain more compare to the HMP counterpart. You can start off with these but in the end, its best to read the OP and try out the kernels.
There is an app called L Speed (requires root) you can download from the app store, you can run this along with what ever kernel you got to tweak it to your liking.
I'm using weeb kernel with helix engine, it's quite good You may have to tweak some settings in helix to avoid performances issues in certain apps but it's quick and easy
