I won't use anything Blu Spark. His kernel boosted performance on Nougat but Oreo is already faster and smoother than Nougat natively. I prefer Flash which is rock solid stable and has a more responsive developer and a far more civil thread. If it came down to using Blu Spark or just throwing away the phone I would throw away the phone.

on stock i get around 2 days battery life with about 10 hours + SOT.
On Elemental after a fair bit of tweaking i get a little less, 1.8 days battery life and between 8 and 9 hours SOT, so both good kernels for stamina and performance.
I use elemental simply for the audio boost as i have a problem with my earpiece.
All of the above is subjective though and each and every user is going to have a varying experience based on what they have in their phone, their charging habits and what they use their phone for.
Personally i keep my phone extremely light, I don't have any apps with ad's i don't have any live widgets, apps like facebook, skype, viber, snapchat, so that makes a big difference.

What do you mean battery backup? Battery life varies depending the settings used and the ROM you are running. Flash is great at going into deep sleep on CrDroid, Phoenix, AOKP and DU. I don't run OOS but people who use Flash on it say it runs well. One Plus hires the software engineers in China who aren't talented enough to work for OPPO or Huawei. I prefer custom ROMs on this phone. OOS is hard to stomach if you are fond of stock Android.
There isn't any "best" kernel and there won't ever be one. I would say every kernel which is provided here justifies its existence. Flash them and try it out.

On low usage I got 5 days idle with 2h screen on time and stil had 50% left !

Pretty much my experience with Franco kernel. There were a few buggy versions on Oreo builds, but everything is back to Nougat level now (battery, performance and stability).
blu_spark kernel is on the high value, bug free, stable, packed with useful features.
We get 300Mhz idle freqs, we get no notification delay and no connection drops for web apps, did I mention fastlane on blu_active governor?
Full features list is in the OP.
Performance is wild, battery runtime goes beyond anything else out there.
Better to throw it away on a flash indeed.
blu gets a lot of badmouthing from one particular corner but kernel and TWRP releases speak for themselves.?
So, using blu_spark, why use anything else? (rhethorical question obviously)
WOW, and star wars enabling possible by editing cust_flag value on the fly, just remembered from my SS.

Stock PA and matr1x kernel are both really good, with matr1x the battery life is about 5 hours screen, without screen it is just 1%/2 hrs.
I've tried franco and faux kernel too, but franco was a bit laggish and faux has terrible performance for me...slow ui, lots of framedrop in games...
There is no best kernel. All of them offer something a little different than the other. Some kernels work better with a ROM than others. My advice to to read up on them. Find out what you want out of it. Flash one and run it for a couple days. Make sure you let the battery drain past 20% then charge it without interrupting it. That's the surest way to gain maximum battery saving benefits. Just try them out until you find the one that's right for you. Happy flashing.
its actually made so that you dont have to worry about this stuff. kernel is just a cog. it twists and turns, who cares. unless you know exactly what youre missing of course. :cyclops:
Hey guys! This is my first topic on XDA, so I apologize in advance if I do something wrong.
I love my 6P and since it's a Nexus, there's always some tinkering so I can make it even better and suitable for my needs. I pretty much like stock-ish ROMs with that touch of Pixel phones and I find that original Google kernel serves me well in terms of battery life and overall performance (I'm probably one of the rare dudes to state something like this). But original kernel is very limited in terms of other options custom kernels offer, like gestures, screen color control, audio boost, etc. Regarding custom kernels, I never had any good experience with battery life, even when setting the governors on powersave/noop/cfq or any other I tried.
So, I guess what I'm asking is - can you recommend me a kernel that's exactly like the Google's out-of-the-box, but with those added options I mentioned above? Or is there some way to restore settings on custom kernels to default Google's settings?
Cheers!
I keep falling back on ElementalX, it offers enough customization, and still has decent battery depending on your settings. There's a million and 1 ways to configure it. I tried other very popular, more feature rich (they have everything, plus the kitchen sink, and sometimes cupboards too), but the battery drain is just too high for my liking. Not even using the phone, and every time I wake it with one of those kernels, it's dropped another 8-10%, without being used.
I haven't tried them all though. Many of the slimmer kernels don't offer a way to disable touchboost, so I rule those out as soon as I see that.

Oh, ElementalX was my first choice too, but suddenly that too started to drain my battery quickly after a while. At first I thought it happened because of some app, but when I flashed default kernel everything got back to normal. That's why I wonder is there a way to copy those default settings and apply them to some custom kernel.
You think disabling touchboost is a big deal? Cause of battery life or something else?

You may check this thread regarding kernel governor profile customisation:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...dvanced-interactive-governor-t3290605/page471
A lot of options to choose from. EX Kernel, Flash Kernel, (I guess other kernels) support this mod using a kernel manager app.
I'm currently using EX Kernel + EX Kernel Manager + Ghost Pepper profile.
Fast enough for me. Plus it helped me saving some juice.
Depending on your usage, it takes trials and errors until you find the good kernel/config that suits your needs.
Happy reading...

Wow, I stumbled upon some other loooooong post about governors, but this one is amazing! I didn't know touchboost has that much influence on battery. I will try this out, thanks mate!
I get better battery life on ElementalEx over stock kernel without a doubt. I am running interactive with Ghost Pepper profile and touch boost disabled. If battery life is your main consideration you could try Franco's Kernel but you are sacrificing some phone performance to get the better battery life. I found the drop off in performance very noticeable but his kernel has its fans. I think ElementalEx has a better balance between performance and battery life.

Touchboost wastes battery because it boosts you to 1248000 every single time you touch the screen, and it holds it for like a second or two. It does make your phone faster, and responsive though.

I have no personal experience with Lineage but I was never a fan of Cyanogenmod and have read multiple posts that suggest it's pretty buggy. Stock will depend on which version of Android you are talking about. All versions of stock are pretty stable. Marshmallow is outdated but some people prefer it to Nougat because it gets better battery life than Nougat and works with Xposed. Nougat gets the latest features and security updates but for some reason Google has been pushing the default kernel settings very high recently so people have been experiencing poor battery life and the operating system itself eating up much more battery than in the past. AOSP would depend on the Rom you are running. I use Dirty Unicorns which is extremely stable and has better battery life than stock. Some Aosp Roms are more buggy and may provide better or worse battery life than stock depending on how they are programmed. There are also stock based Roms like Cortex, which adds Pixel features and gets the best battery life of any Rom I've been on. But the downside of a stock based Rom is that there is no OMS support for Substratum theming. My personal preference is for Dirty Unicorns but different people like different Roms.
I went to dirty unicorns and to me it's is faster than stock ROM cortex. I also like DU because it is oms and that is very important to me. Also having nav bar button customization is a plus. I would only jump back to stock if aosp takes to long to release
Stock is always most stable and allows for instant, effortless updates when available.
In terms of battery life, varies on your usage, I've had battery life that I would expect from a 3450 mAh phone.
You would see people buy a 6P and then start installing ROMs hours after and claim to get better/phenomenal battery life. Funny thing is that they have no idea what baseline is -_-

I went from Cortex to stock 7.1.2 for several days because I wanted to try stock again. The drop off in battery life was extremely noticable. People have also noted that on recent builds of stock if you look at the battery stats Android operating system and screen are eating up much more battery than they used to.

I didn't notice DU being any faster but I do like OMS support. There always seem to be problems with Substratum if you don't have it.
Bro, Chads uber obviously is the best. It is on clang 5.0.0 and is extremely fast and stable and I get up to 8 hours sot and weeks on standby. Also I built wakeblock for uber so I can block wakelocks to save even more battery.

Hello,
All ROMs should be stable. Stock is bloated, using a custom ROM helps getting ride of all the unnecessary stuff running in the background. Depending on your usage, battery life will fluctuate.
I only browse, send SMS/MMS, take pictures, videos and watch youtube with my phone. Mostly over WiFi. Don't have social network apps syncing in the background all the time. Yeah, i get 7 hours sot...
But, i guess the same with 3G/4G + Facebook + WhatsApp, etc... And I would be down to 3 hours sot obviously...
Don't let people decide for you which ROM is the best, because there is none. The best ROM is the one you like. These guys put a lot of time and effort to release their ROM. Some more than others, but still, saying this or this ROM is the best is kind of dumb and also insulting to other developers.
If there was a "best" ROM, the forum would only have one. Because everybody would use it. Or there is a best ROM and in this case those using the others are completely blind to see the truth?
Lol...
Check the forum and decide by yourself. Some are stock based, others aosp, lightweight or filled with a lot of options and customization.
Takes a few minutes to setup and if you don't like one, switch to another...
Happy flashing.
Cheers...

Not really with sot. It depends highly on the rom and kernel.
I just got a LeEco Pro 3 (US version) on Amazon, put on lineage 14.1 on it, and for a device with such a big battery, battery life is atrocious. I'm getting estimates of less then a day. Is there a kernel or ROM that will improve this?
Sent from my LEX727 using Tapatalk
I have had Pro 3 for one year, running 6.01 with Nova Launcher. Battery life is not nearly one day in my heavy usage.
But, have Le Eco Fast Charging Battery, which gives me constant juice.
I probably use 2 full charges a day.
How hard is it to flash ROM you are using? Stable? Difference with stock?
The chip is fast, good storage, RAM.
Good luck.

Is Omni still under development? I kind of want the October patch at least, as I use an open wifi portal and also want to use my bluetooth full time for my smartwatch, and live in a major urban area where if any exploits of these vulnerabilities is in the wild, they would be here.
Edit: looks like it is under active development, I spotted right away the KRANK patches: https://omni.cmxlog.com/7.1/zl1/
Sorry to say but for battery life Stock based ROMs are the best. I've found paranoid Android and Omni to be two of the better nougaty ROMs in that regard. I have some suggestions to help. Use kernel auditor to change parameters. Set first cluster to 1280 second to 1000. Schedule tasks on awake cores. Set GPU to 520 max and change governor to simple ondemand. Change io scheduler to Noop. I can get a day and a half of moderate usage.
I have an x722 on the Banggood vendor ROM and my battery life is pretty good. However I have my phone in Airplane Mode all the time with Wi-Fi enabled, and I've removed pretty much all LeEco applications. I mostly browse the web on the phone (very light text-based pages with few images, if any) while listening to local, offline music. Yesterday I was watching a bunch of 480p Youtube videos (in Chrome, stupid YT downgrades quality in mobile browsers) and my battery life got a bit low, around 70%. Okay, I guess. I think [email protected] YT would cause your battery to drain a lot quicker, especially if you're using the official YT app.
I keep my screen on a fair bit while commuting, but I don't use data; I just read offline pages. Maybe you should try going back to debloated stock, and then compare battery life on both ROMs. The issue could also be a rogue app. Use Greenify.

Well, yeah. Any phone with a SIM in it is constantly searching for a signal. But if you really want to know if there's a significant difference, test the phone's battery life with just Wifi enabled. If you're still getting bad battery life, it's something else.

Same here my findings exactly!
I appreciate all Lineage is doing for ROM development, but it seems others have better kernels or something. Is it all in the kernel, do you think, or is there some battery optimization going on in the ROMs themselves?

Yes you are right, lower the max of CPU speed, normal 80-90% app run at not even 1000MHz. If you want more battery lower both BIg and LIttle core max speed down I can't see it mak ethe phone slow/lag or anything like that.

As you all know the final version of Android 9.0 (PR) was recently ported to Xiaomi Mi A1 by taking advantage of Project Treble. Although there are more than one Kernels out there with Treble support, there is no thread to actually compare them. So if you have tried this port, please write down your experience with the Kernel you used.
Iam using the Custom Rom Treble non OC Kernel from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/development/kernel-extreme-kernel-1-0-mi-a1-t3769702
With that i get the most Battery life out. About 2 Day´s without charging and mostly reading News, Texting with Whats App, and Listening much Music.
So not much intensive and no Gaming.
Last Charge was before 16 hours and 5 Days are left, because i do nothing with the Device =P

Android Pie and this why he ask what Kernel are good for this one and you only can use Pie with Treble .
But back to SOT it is now 54min. Last charge was 41 hours ago and i have left about 1 Day and 17 hours :fingers-crossed:
So next charge maybe at least 20% in the next evening.
My personal best from now on is eXtreme! Been using Moun on Oreo and on Pie, after using eXtreme for few days, difference was quite noticeable so imho eXtreme is the best kernel for balanced/battery life when tuned properly!

Oh, I'm currently on 8.1 Liquid Remix ROM and honestly don't remember what exactly I tweaked. I've used Kernel Adiutor, changed few thing regarding CPU, disabled Fsync, enabled one CPU when screen is off, Schedule workqueues on awake CPUs, that much I can remember. I am not heavy user, just listening music on Youtube Vanced app, using social media apps, browsing the web with Brave etc... Getting 2 days without charge with 5-6hrs of sot and about 10% battery left.
Right now I didn't change anything on Liquid Remix and battery life is still amazing compared to Moun or Mint kernels. eXtreme just gives great results without tweaking anything
