I have had this phone since release and have been flashing ROMs and Kernels to it from the beginning. I mainly bounce on the ROM side from ParanoidAndroid to SlimKat to Purity. I tend to use either AK as a Kernel or a variant of Hells. I want to flash a ROM and Kernel combo that I can stick with (until I grab a Nexus 6 that is). I only need 3 things from any STABLE ROM / Kernel combination but they are non-negotiable in no particular order. Smooth performance, battery longevity and optimal audio quality. I would like whatever combo to be specifically geared towards that if at all possible. I am a junkie / flash addict and need this viscious cycle to end! Haha. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance!

Thank you. Link please? Also...which Kernel do you recommend out of the two to be used in conjunction with this ROM?
Is this the one?

yes.. Inbuilt kernel is good. or try ak.
Awesome. Thanks for your help. One last thing. Do you have any custom settings for the AK Kernel I can use? I see a lot of people tweaking and optimizing Kernels but never have myself. Perhaps you have something you could share. Anyway, I'll flash your suggestions in a day or two and let you know how it went.

What radio you using or are you not having the LTE drop out?
Benzo rom + Vindicator kernel make my N6 the device it was meant to be. Hydra kernel is not bad either.
If you've taken the steps needed to flash a custom kernel, why not just nandroid your stock build and try some rom's? I'm assuming you have a custom recovery in place if you'r playing with kernels. You don't like it, restore back to stock in less then 5 minutes. I personally have not had any issues of note on the kernels and rom I mentioned. I did have issues on other combinations, but no harm done.
The functionality additions are light years ahead of what stock offers; custom drop down tiles, privacy settings, customizations, themes, etc.

Pretty much any kernel is going to give better battery life just out of the box before any tweaking. UV by -25 and u already are saving battery. Most kernels fix memory leaks and such too. Then there's the added benefit of extra optional features like OC/UC and wake gestures.
I successfully completed the conversion to dev mode and root my device. I have the multi-system kernel at this time but was wondering which kernel gives the best battery life and which are most people using?
The only 2 kernels I am aware of that are available are the emotion and multi-system ones. Is there something else?

I've been using the Eceed Kernel by @kairi_zeroblade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/kernel-xceed-t3344742
there is a verizon version. I had no problems flashing this onto my jasmine rom 4.3 running android 5.1.1.
One user reported loosing data(4g) with this kernel but didnt give any info on what rom or firmware he was running.
the kernel works great so far, much better battery life. Scores 82,000+ consistently on antutu.
The kernel comes pre configured. The only things you can change if you wish is the cpu voltages, cpu currents, and a couple of read ahead tweaks in Synapse
the only thing I noticed was some camera lag (a bit slower to open and to switch from front to rear) that @kairi_zeroblade said could be due to the strict cpu settings. I believe hes working on a 6.0 MM kernel right now that should work for verizon.
Definitely worth a shot to check it out!!!! If you have any feedback just post in the original thread.

This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...nt/firmware-safe-upgrade-to-lollipop-t3313224
I use the screen mirroring option all the time. I would say test that out to determine which kernel is best for you. I know one of the kernels floating around doesn't support screen mirroring which is a big no no for me.

Xceed comes pre tweaked. The only thing that may give a little more speed is changing the internal and SD card read ahead from 512 to 2048mb and cfq as the scheduler. Most other adjustments are untouchable

So looks like the kubyi rom will not work with this kernel. :/ I'm guessing the data fix will have to be patched into the Xceed kernel.

What info do you want to know about the datafix for Kyubi? It has multisystem kernel included. So far that is the only kernel that is compatible with Kyubi. No changes to the kernel were made to make it work with Kyubi. It just happened to work when I tried flashing Kyubi on our phone. So it became part of the datafix since it worked so well. I think if anything, @kairi_zeroblade should talk with @hsbadr the developer of multisystem kernel. We got lucky that hsbadr's kernel worked !

I second the Eceed kernel. Im on the jasmine rom and was using the emotion kernel but I noticed a fast drain on the battery. Switched over to Eceed a few days ago and have experienced a huge improvement on battery life, without the sacrifice in speed. Thanks Joemill for the suggestion.
Read about Exceed kernel so I gave it a try and thats the one Im sticking with. Runs great,using Jasmine Rom with it as well,battery life is great and my phone is very quick,highly recommend it.
Wich ROM, mod, kernel or combination of two of them give me the best experience in android?? I m looking for an Android system fast, smooth and best battery life. Thanks to all
If something was the best, nothing else would be used as there's no point in using something that's inferior when you can get something better.
There is no best, I suggest you read each thread and pick one that suits your needs. Saying X ROM and kernel is the best is like saying a specific vehicle is the best...One may say a Ferrari and another may say an F-350. But who's right?
Some people like roms and kernels bloated with 1000 customization options filled with placebo "optimization and enhancements". Others prefer a clean, minimal ROM without all the useless bling that they'll never use.
P.S. there's probably 10 threads like these, and possibly 11 by next week that you could've read through. I'll just copy and paste this same post on the next one.

Using the phone for SMS/MMS, YouTube and web browsing. I can get ~ 5/6h sot with a full charge on WiFi and ~ 3h30 sot on 3g/LTE which is enough for me.
Also using custom CPU governor profile in EXKernel Manager helped me with battery life without affecting performance (at least not that I noticed). You can find more infos here:

F2FS + Dark ROM + FLASH kernel ! That's the best combination and I am a serial flasher
These people that are saying there isn't a best ROM, I don't really understand the reasoning behind this. There most certainly is a best ROM kernel combination. Otherwise all these ROMs and kernels would be exactly the same right? Sorry to say, some are better than others. This is just a fact.
If you want speed, smoothness, glass, breakneck speeds, great battery life, there really is one only choice.
Uber rom by Chad and faster kernel by Chad.
Why?
On f2fs, (trust me, you want f2fs) I have yet to find kernel or ROM combination that beats this.
Its the only rom that's built with GCC 6.3.1, and the only rom built with clang 3.9.1. Coupled with f2fs, this rom FLIES.
I have flashed every single ROM on this forum and then some, and I'm telling you this is the best combination you can possibly hope for:

Uber rom by Chad I definitely agree is the best. I tried using his faster angler but it caused problems with mods like viper4arise so I am sticking with flash kernel. Uber by Chad is definitely the best rom though and I have tried so many roms like pure nexus, resurrection remix, dirty unicorns, sixRom, lineage, cyanogenmod, nitrogen, Cortex and so many more.
Is the stock camera working on either Uber or Dark ROM with f2fs file system?
Thanks
There's no such thing as a best rom fact, but only best rom opinions, which isn't a good idea to ever discuss here. [emoji14]
As for battery, that all depends on you as a user to manager your battery life your way. I get 4+ SOT easily and I listen to a lot of music and text a lot.

I basically just wiped cache and dalvik/art cache and flashed the rom and kernel and all my mods. I also made sure to do stuff like rename audio effects and everything I did to make it work with flash. I use stable 2.4 deutronomy aroma installer. I was talking to someone else on this rom and kernel and he said he had the same problem too so it might be hit and miss or maybe you flashed it different than us. Please tell.me what you did to get it to work. Thanks
What partitions do you guys convert to f2s besides cache? Data as well? Everything else remains ext4?
Running stock has been great for me lately. Downgraded to 6.0.1 running Xposed for pixel mods. Amplify and greenify. With exkernel has been a great experience so far. Near 7h SOT yesterday. Will be going back to 7.1.1 soon, as the February update is out.. I heard lineage OS has good battery life. Will be trying that out soon in a few days.
Read the threads on XDA and good luck!!:good:
We have another post for ROM. Why do we not have another post for Kernel ?
As we can see, we have more than 5 kernels that are from XDA developer or someone else. But which one is really good for your ROM and which one still keep updating ?
I have been using OP5T for 2 months. Have used so many kernels but i still got stuck in those and do not know which is more stable. I am planning to use the kernel from Blu_Spark. Is that good ?
Post your favourite kernel and tell everybody why you use that. It will help newbie to pick what they want.
I am using Flash kernel at the moment but I have already tried Blu, franko, arter, ElementalX etc, but honestly for me it's difficult to see any difference since this phone have already a great battery life and great speed. On my previous phone (S8) the custom kernel gives a big advantage since the phone have tons of bloat and and isn't running stock like Android.

I have tried Blu and Franco for now and both have been very good. I really think kernel performance depends on the combo with the ROM as well as your device. I'm on Liquid Remix with Franco currently but I may give Resurrection Remix a try with Flash. If I had more time, I'd flash every ROM with every kernel to get a feel for all the possibilities LOL. :good:
For me Franco and flash kernel are the Best.... Now with ob3 with Franco kernel
Enviado desde mi ONEPLUS A5010 mediante Tapatalk
Did the Franco improve battery or performance? Someone Tried the Boeffla?
At the moment, both Flash Kernel and RenderKernel are great options in my opinion. I have tried most of the other kernels on xda and if you are looking specifically for smoothness/speed, these are the two you should test first. I do not run battery cycles; everyones daily use scenario really differs too much.
Flash Kernel currently has some kernel features I need (Kcal support & wakelock blocker) while RenderKernel does not have these features quite yet. While it lacks in some features, RenderKernel is undoubtedly the smoothest kernel for 5T right now.
I am on a 5T with OOS 5.0.3.
I like Franco but recently some custom ROMs have WIFI cannot turn on problem after I flash Franco kernel.

I haven't really played around with Kernel choices much.
I use and appreciate the professionalism of ElementalX kernel.
With it's options to adjust for extreme brightness, it quickly became a favorite a couple years ago and I've just stuck with it since.
Now most devs are adding high brightness to their kernels.
I guess I can start checking other kernels out.
I do like that ElementalX stays very stockish, reliable.
I can pretty much flash it and feel confident nothing weird will pop up over the next few days.

ElementalX, Franco, and flash were all my go-to kernels back in the 6p days (just a few months ago, lol), so it's hard to pick, especially since they all ended up on the 5t. Right now I'm on exkernel though I am partial to flash. Battery life is amazing on all 3, but the overclock on ex just adds that extra bit of smoothness that I've never experienced before. Call it placebo but I just love this kernel (exkernel).
any more input?
im curious to know if fsync affects battery performance at all, can someone also test this out if you are on a kernel that enables disabling the fsync feature

Technically it should improve performance when using the phone, but it won't be noticeable.

Does flashing a custom kernel solves Google play services battery drain?
Do I need custom recovery and root to flash a custom kernel? I'm not willing to play with kernel adiutor so I'm not really interested in rooting

Custom kernel has nothing to do with google play services. You need custom recovery to flash a kernel, but most kernels for op5t are "flash & forget" which mean there is no reason to change the setting of the kernel.

maybe not Google play services specifically, but with my latest phone (zuk z2), kernel was directly related to deep sleep
stock OOS/kernel has a serious issue with Google PS in terms of deep sleep. Besides that, I dont feel any need to flash a custom kernel. SOT is incredible already, and performance is really fluid.

If you are OK then there is no need to flash a kernel. If an app is crap (like Google services or facebook) the kernel can't do miracles and its not kernels job to control wakelocks of user apps

I keep changing between blu and new kernel
Not sure which to stick with but I think new kernel gives me a bit more battery
