I9500 Kernel (Light Weight Kernel 20.4) Issues

There's only one kernel for i9500 CM, and after flashing LWK 20.4 my wifi stopped working and I've just dirty flashed CM12.1 on my phone again.
Well, since I can't post on development forum: is there anyone that can help me with this?
The original reason I've dabbled with kernels is the abhorrent battery life I was getting out of my box. Like, 6-10 hours with little to no usage!
When I've first installed gearCM about 5 months ago, battery life was tolerable. Not as good as stock firmware, but good enough to last the day. I've installed OTA updates every few weeks and after the latest such event (~2 weeks ago?) my battery just started to drain.
I've re-installed another rom, Resurrection Remix 5.5.8, which still drained battery. Now I'm on official CM 12.1 latest nightly. Google services crashes every now and then. I haven't really gotten a chance to test battery life, but I'm pessimistic.
What can I do about a good and functioning kernel with a stable ROM? (no TW please)
CM and CM-based roms I like most, but if LWK isn't going to work on them, what other ROM would you recommend?

Try PAC ROM 5.1.1

Hi,
Try GearMod kernel and let me know.

Best Rom for GTI9500 ?

I am tired of stock rom
Can anyone suggest the best rom available
Phone will be used as daily driver(snapchat also)
Stock ,CM,RR any rom.
Sorry for bad english.
Thankyou

The two roms I liked the most were
Power Of Debloat Octanote Version A because it is so lightweight and has less bloat. Plus most of the system ui and apps are Note 5 or Galaxy S7 themed. Its pretty neat
Also FirstFlight 5.5 Note 7 themed is also pretty amazing. It goes even deeper and has Note 7 themed system UI and everything. The only problem I have with this rom is that battery life takes a huge hit. Power of Debloat is nice on the battery. Try these two and tell me what you think. Be sure to take Nandroid backups in your custom recovery and follow all steps posted by respective developers on flashing each rom. Be sure to only install the rom for your device. Galaxy S4 i9500. I made that mistake by flashing a rom not meant for my phone and it bricked.
Please note that I haven't use RR on my S4 but I have used it on many others and would recommend and try it too. Tell me how it all went.

Ale95 Note5 Port is the best ROM for me
Because I have been tested many ROM like CM, GearCM, RR, and other
This ROM have a good battery life, and my device not overheating again
Trust Me Bro :good:

I know..I used ROM and it was the best ..but snapchat was not working on that ROM and I am a heavy user of snapchat..

Prism barebone v16 from last year (Not v17, v16). If you are not so interested in note5 or s7 themed apps, this is for you. It is discontinued but with the highest performance and best battery life among stock-based ROMs.

I always have some bugs in other stock-based ROMs. For example, I found Octanote a little too debloated that some apps crash all the time such as Calculator. Other bloated ROMs have very mediocre battery life, I think all those themes and unnecessary Note apps like Air Command, SNote cause unnecessary drain.
CM based ROMs (Alberto 6.0.1) have better performance than any stock-based ROMs but it has some bugs that cannot be solved (Exynos sources are not accessible for free developers.), such as in-call echo (Other side hears his/her own voice.) and (sometimes) camera crash.

I usually end myself on stock-based ROMs that debloated and rooted for battery life. However, if you're power user who prefers performance boots, GearCM and RR would be your choice.

Need kernel for 6.0.1 Lineage

As the title says, I cant find any kernel for my GT i9505 using Lineage 6.0.1... Im having problems with battery, and since the kernel is resposible for that, i need help...
I tried to undervolt, all I get is bad performance with not improved battery life...
Can anybody speak to me and explain what to do...? ( since i changed more than 10Roms, modems etc etc etc... )

Only JDCTeam ROMs have a custom kernel packed into the zip. That's the ONLY one for Marshmallow and Nougat.

Del.

Then what are other options for battery life.. I have seen people getting like 4-5h SOT, a lot of apps, yet no xposed (which i tried aswell) ? Can you give me an advice?
Almost all Roms for s4 I used, are really good and congrats to devs, but i just need some good battery life, which i can't get right now.. (i bought a new battery just to mention, its not bat)

Suggest Rom with the best battery performance

Hi guys,
After a disappointing stay at Oreo for several months, I downgraded to Nougat. Things are a bit better but far from marshmallow I recalled when I got the phone.
I got a bit older so I am not so fond of trying different roms every month.
So before downgrading to stock marshmallow for good , is there any other rom with a better battery performance? I just need a stable rom (I don't care if it is not supported anymore) with the most optimum battery life.
Is that too much to ask?

Best battery life without you having any involvement would probably be straight stock.. You can get as good battery life as you want with any rom by taking control, with root apps for disabling system services and apps, firewall, kernel tweaks, etc... If you're not interested in doing the work, just use straight stock rom with Greenify or something.

OmniROM, actually the best battery/performance ROM on this device http://dl.omnirom.org/kugo/

Levone1, my attempt to do so in Oreo failed miserably
It was better though, but far from ideal. Maybe though I didn't mess with kernel, so I can't really blame Oreo (yet!).

Would you recommend Nougat or Oreo release for OmniROM?

thanks a lot

Which is the best Nougat rom for S7 EDGE?

As I said in the title, I need to know which is the best rom Nougat in terms of stability, battery and in general, because I have tried all of oreo and I have problems of overheating and battery drain and since I can not do a downgrade, I need a custom ROM with Nougat that is stable for daily use to install in the S7 Edge, (G935F), I appreciate your help

I would say batman or ironman Rom. I've been using batman (with batstock v1.4.5) for quit some time and still think its great. I would recommend envy's taste of pie theme to get a bit of a pie look on nougat
