Hi, for me you should go to LineageOS 15.1 is stable and with a very good battery life, with stock kernel between 4 / 4.5 hours of screen on, considering that my nexus 6p has a year of life.
Trust me you will not regret it.

Hey guys I just got my second nexus 7 (dropped/shattered my first one) and I have been away from the forum since.
I just wondered what everyone thought as far as which ROM and kernel was best for daily use.
Honestly the most important feature for me in a ROM is the kill app feature (aokp or long press back).
As for a kernel, im looking for a well balanced performance/ battery life.
Thanks guys for your input.

If you know that already why did you start this thread?

I like Team EOS's nightlies. I'm using faux's latest beta kernel too with the new CPU driver. Can't comment on battery life personally (although faux's new kernel has reports of better battery life), but performance is quite nice.
May or may not be the best combination though, it's just what I'm using now.
I'm a big fan of Paranoid Android. It allows you to choose between phone, tablet, or phablet mode for every app. Also, it allows you to choose between small tablet, large tablet, phablet, and phone workspace.

That said, I definitely agree with ÜBER.

These threads always turn into bickering fests and drama which is never good. Nothing against you OP but I have to close this one as nothing good ever comes of them unfortunately...
Just search around and read all the threads and its pretty easy to get an idea of whats best or used by the majority.
I prefer balanced battery and peformance. Please advice. Thanks
All kernels work differently for different people. Try a bunch and see what works.
-Brought to you by Marino's Nexus 7-
Franco kernel lets you overclock the gpu to what ever you want (416-750 and anything in between) so with that in mind you can create your own balance of battery vs performnce.
You cant overclock cpu but honestly it isnt needed.
Also with his latest release r25 th whol devive is much more responsive. Touchscreen etc.

Stock.....

I'm on stock. I can't deal with sods. It's fast and battery life is good.

i'd say go franco or trinity.
I owned a nexus 4 when it was launched.
Kept it for a while but sold it because of the poor (at the time) battery times with stock 4.2.
My question is if anything has changed since then in terms of battery and/or performance with the latest kit kat 4.2
Can battery runtimes get any better with custom roms ? Stable one at least...
Thanks in advance.

Well, everything has changed. There are a variety of kernels that greatly improve battery life..so I don't see any consequences to sell N4 just because of that

There are all kinds of kernels and ROMs to extend battery life. I love this phone more now than I did when I bought it. Nexus 5 what?
Buying a Nexus 4 after sticking with the Samsung Vibrant for so long. Anything I should know about the Nexus before making this upgrade?
You should be the one telling us what you want to know, hehe.
Get the 16gb variant as it doesn't have a micro SD slot and I find 8gb is not sufficient.

Sometimes the battery life SUXX
Today i got 2h 40m screen on time with some 3G and some Wi-Fi.
On wi-fi only i get 5hours max with custom kernel, under-clock to 1.2ghz and under-voltage.
Just get the Nexus 5. The N4 is almost 2 years old.
No SD card slot, its pure android; don't expect fancy ui design. Not a lot of customization like touchwiz or sense; its simple.

Wait really? This is making me very hesitant, as I already hate my battery life. Is this with a ROM or stock?

Stock rom 4.4.2, Xposed module and franco kernel r204
If you don't want to get a cover I recommend getting a screen protector for the front and back. This phone is awfully slippery.
I personally have great battery life from my Nexus 4. Stock, Xposed and Franco just like the previous poster. Had a vibrant long ago. If you're upgrading, you will be very happy. Of course, price would be the only reason to take a Nexus 4 over the 5, but you won't be disappointed with either.

The Sound on N4 is really bad for me, really quiet so first thing to do is to install a sound mod and enjoy

Audio mods is a must for N4. And for battery life it isn't perfect, but still pretty good. I've usually get 3 days with 2.5 SoT (moderate usage).
Just sharing my thoughts between Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus... I'll still prefer the battery life and screen of the Nexus 4..... But the fact that my Nexus 4 had approximity sensor is really unnerving sometimes.

I am using AOSP 6.0.1 by AndDisa and I find that for my usage, it has the best battery and minimal lags.

Sorry, I should have been asleep. My reply related to the N 7 and not the N 4. For N 4, I use the Official LOS 15.1. No additional mods whatsoever. Both devices still use the battery that came with the devices. The N 4 is my standby and not a daily driver. I also use it as my navigator occasionally. For that usage, it has the best battery and absolutely no lags at all. I had used the stock ROM as well as some custom ROMs before.
I would blindly recommend the Official LOS 15.1 for the N 4 atleast.
