Best rom (+ kernel) for battery life? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

What was the best rom PURELY for battery life in your experience and with which other tweaks. I am running NucleaRom with swift black and X.A.N.A battery EXTREME and could only get about 5h of on screen time, max. 5h 30min.
Quite disappointing tbh.

Try AICP with AquaKernel. I get about 7h screen time but depends on you usage. Generally the battery life of custom roms is not that great.

No AKT profile? And stock rom wasn't better at all for me when it comes to battery life.
And it seems like it's only for a2017u model sadly. I got the g model. EDIT: nvm, old thread!

Dumb question, NucleaRom had a custom kernel build in. Do I have to do anything else or just flash the AICP Rom with TWRP after a full wipe? And when exactly do I have to flash the kernel?

You can flash the kernel whenever you like, but ideally:
1. Reboot to TWRP
2. Wipe /cache, /data, /dalvik and /system
3. Flash AICP ROM
4. Flash GApps (I would recommend OpenGApps)
5. Flash Kernel
6. Flash Magisk (Optional)
7. Reboot

[Q] recommendations ON Kernel?

hi guys,i just got my nexus 4 and rooted it and have installed pac version 22.0.1
android version 4.2.2
base band version m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.48
it has the
aokp/ cyangonmod and paranoid android build inside.
dated wed march 27th 2013
and the kernal is 3/40 vertigo
is this a good kernal to use?
i am looking for something which can give better sound quality and better life battery actually
and is this the steps if i wan t to just install a new kernal ?
i mean can i just install a new kernal?
eg : go to recovery mode then install from sd card?
I would say Franco.
Yes, you just boot into recovery mode and flash the new kernel zip file. No need to wipe anything. (although some would say wiping cache is a good idea)
Matrix or semaphore are my choices
Sent from Holy Terra on a paranoid nexus 4
I would recommend wiping cache and dalvik cache before flashing a kernel, however that is just me. I have had issues in the past when I have not wiped the cache before flashing kernels.
I have to second franco kernel. I have never had a problem with it and I cannot complain about the battery life.
and i say trinity kernel is best for me. but this thread is pointless. everyone will list whatever kernel they use, pretty soon youll have all the kernels in the forums listed. might as well read which kernels are available. anyways, theres no best kernel, theres only the kernel thats best for your needs and best for your device. you have to try them, every device react to them differently. it only takes seconds to flash a kernel. after trying them all out, only then youll find the best kernel for you and your device.

wiping dalvik/cache for flashing a kernel is like wiping your ass to fill your car up with gas. it is not related. you never ever have to wipe anything when flashing a kernel. you had issues for other reasons. do you know what kernels do? do you know what the dalvik and the cache are? you best learn.
ahh franco kernal
ok, thx guys for your opinuons
im just wondering if this rom im using now .. the apc one.. is it actually heavy for my nexus.i feel its pretty fast but are there others which u think are better?as in wont use cpu so much?

[Q] Cant install a custom kernel

Hey people, i recently bought a new nexus 4 and im LOVING it.
I seem to have a problem with custom kernels, i cant seem to boot up once i install one. Ive tried 3 different kernels ( Purity, Matr1x and Franco ) with the same results. here's what i do and what happens:
1) install a new rom after wiping everything in CWM recovery
2) Install Gapps
3) Install the kernel
4) Reboot
Everything installs successfully but when i boot up, after the 'Google' image when the boot animation is supposed to play out, i get a black screen with nothing on it. And the phone doesnt boot.
If i dont install the rom without the kernel, it boots up. ive also tried installing the rom, gapps and booting it and setting it up ( google account, etc ) and then go to recovery and installing the kernel, still the same results. And ive also tried using different roms and i still get the black screen
Hope ive explained everything
I have an idea that maybe i can change the default kernel that comes with the rom by copying the stuff from a kernel zip and pasting it somewhere in the rom zip. Can it be done? If yes, what exactly do i copy?
THANKS!

very importantly, what rom are you using? not all roms are the same. and no, you cant update a kernel that way.

ok reflash your rom and other stuff(without a custom kernel), boot up/set up, then go back and flash this trinity kernel, tf152 http://goo.gl/CDAGV7

Yes you can, but it depends on how the kernel is structured inside the flashable zip. If it's just a boot.img file inside, you can definitely just drag & drop it into the flashable rom zip and replace the original one. Some kernels will work, others will not. If you're going from a rom that uses franco to one that uses an original ramdisk, for example, you may run into issues, but in most cases this won't be an issue.

It did boot up with the trinity kernel although the app drawer didnt seem as smooth and fast and there was a problem with the widgets
And its the Liquid kernel, do u want me to type whatever is under the "kernel version"?

yes please.
earlier for the franco kernel, other kernels flashed over it wouldnt boot, only flashing the other kernels with the rom would let them boot. franco kernel has modified ramdisk, framcisco had to adjust it so other kernels would boot up after. i have a feeling that something similar is whats going on with their kernel. especially since you say trinity booted but the app drawer is laggy. i bet they also have modified ramdisk(or something messed up by accident).

its probably a modified stock kernel. did you ask in their thread if this is the normal behavior with custom kernels?
No actually, i didnt. I see your point but what happens with the other roms. XenonHD or Xylon, they have the same problem.
maybe its important but i coudnt get into the stock recovery before i rooted my phone. When i got into fastboot and selected recovery, i would get an android with a red triangle saying ' no command' and i had to press Volume up and power buttons to see the menu

lots of roms here are related to one another, some very related, so more distant. liquidsmooth doesnt do much of their own coding, they pick up stuff from other roms/sources. these roms might be very similar.
but honestly, i dont know. it is a weird issue though.

[DISCUSSION] What Rom are you using & what is your experience with it.

Hello to this great community.
As the title says what is your experience with the Rom+ kernel you are using? Battery life, stability etc
This is not about asking what the best Rom is (something that doesn't exist) but about sharing our configurations (roms kernel other tweaks) and how it works for us:
Roms
Kernels
Mods (xposed modules etc)
And the experience we had with those.
A disclaimer: There is no best Rom !!
Discuss only the set ups you have on your Moto G! [emoji6]

I'm using this unofficial rom. Boringly, it just works for me. No issues.
No mods - just the wallpaper changed I think. Since we all use our devices in slightly different ways,...your experience with the same rom may be different from mine.
Mine is something like:
Stock 4.4.4 no root because I don't want to lose my warranty from now.
Coming from a LG 2x this one is super fluid and fast but unlocking the bootloader is such a pain.
Im using Stock 4.4.3 with Aero Kernel! Great battery life and performance!

If you have unlocked your Moto G's bootloader, the manufacter's voluntary warranty is already gone, isn't it?

Assuming this is not a specific problem with the nightly: Did you ever use GPS successfully on stock rom before? On a different CM11 before? If not, then:
- ensure you have latest recovery,
- make nandroid of your CM11 rom,
- flash or restore stock rom
- use gps in stock rom
- restore your CM11 nandroid
GPS should now work. It did for me.

Spirit ROM. Tons of feature and look nice with dark environment. Support dual sim too.
Xperia Rom v2.5..looks beautiful, everything works great for me.
I want something simple and stable with wifi working and not draining battery... is XPerience 8.0.0M10 good for this? or any other?
i just got the xt1031 (boost mobile) 8gb version. i am so happy to see development on here but i do worry about the storage. does the root and roms take up? i and how can i maximize space? i know on previous phones i always had a 32gb memory card so i was never worried bout that but with this one i am lol. any help would be appreciated
I like C-ROM, bis stable, fast, smooth but have three problems, the GPS didnt work, the long boot, sometimes take 10min to restart and the CPU Min and Max bug. All this in the last version 7.1
I have tried others like DU, AOSB but have basically the same problems.
Is any ROM more stable that this?

Best rom customization for lenovo a6000 users!

Hey guys,

Suggest me best ROM and kernal which will gives me long battery backup & performance too
Which is based on MM OR LOLLIPOP.
NOW, I installed BEANSTALK ROM based on MM,with GOD KERNAL R2. which is good for performance but high battery draining problem.

But im on lollipop
How to go back on kk

Or suggest another rom

Try CM13 XOSP this is best rom for me, best xperia design, best smooth performance and good battery backup i recommend for anyone
I would recommend you to use telo mokee ROM with phantom r7 kernel. It has great battery backup of 1.5 day on general use. Also fast charging helps to charge phone from 1-100% in 2 hrs. No bugs or lags noticed....

You can avail the max. battery backup along with very good performance on CM11 (by techolaty and thread by sourav_8434 heron xda) which is based on KK. To flash that, first you'll have to flash stock KK.

Two quick questions about kernel installations.

What I'm trying to do is to uninstall the kernel (if that's even possible) and reinstall it or reinstall it and now I want to know if it's even possible
Second question is if it's even healthy to install a kernel on another kernel? could that the reason why "Kernel (Android OS)" is taking up so much battery power?
(I've been playing around with ElementalX and Loony and Frostbitten)
Custom kernels instructions definitely say to be installed ONLY over the stock kernel.

Kernel is basic requirement for OS to run, it controls (processor and) more than that you can see in any kernel manager.
Without kernel, your device will never boot.
Also can you explain, why you want to uninstall and reinstall ?

Stock kernel with many ROM comes with less tweaks allowed, but custom kernel gives you more features/tweaks and wakelocks, so it may increase performance of device and battery too..

In custom kernel thread,
Stock kernel means, the kernel which comes preloaded with any ROM that you installed.
Boot.img in ROM zip is stock kernel for that ROM.
You don't need to flash another kernel.
