Well Franco 18.6 only OCs to 1.35Ghz.

Overclocking doesn't necessarily man it's better. I'm using francos but undertaking it to 1000. still smooth and lasts longer

you can still find his old kernels somewhere.... just search for it.

It's pretty easy to switch between kernels (just put the zip on your external and flash with CWM). Try em both out and let us know which one you think is better.
I'm using Franco's kernel atm and think it's great (still on 18.4) but haven't used the Glados one.
Alright thanks for the input everyone!
It depends on what you need, battery life or performance. etc ?

Just wondering which kernel is currently offering the best battery life
Are you talking about GSM or LTE?
For LTE they all seem to be about the same except stock. That's a little worse.
Sorry I should of said, I am a GSM user
Franco's 12 works great

franco kernel
This needs a bump.
Trinity kernel. I'm using beta 65 at the moment, but most of his kernels are great for battery, especially if you undervolt and under clock the CPU.

Trinity 65c, 307/1036 stock voltage.
Very smooth and responcive.
CM9 kang powered by TRINITY
Running Franco kernel r180. I under clock it to 1036MHz, use Wi-Fi when possible (avoiding cdma/lte if I can, but obviously that's tough when I leave the house and am driving). I also keep brightness around 25%.

Definitely Trinity. Why did you not include it here? And why did you not include an "Other" option?

Because the poll was made in January and didn't need to be bumped, but someone thought we needed ANOTHER POLL ABOUT KERNELS that won't really help anyone.

Just curious as to what is popular as far as undervolting apps go on the SGS II. Its one of the only things i havnt messed with on this phone. Back on my captivate i had super awesome undervolts with using the "Voltage Control" app. I loved that thing, can it stull be used on the SGS II?
and also if any of you have an awesome UV that works for you, mind posting the settings here?

Haik,
What happen, AT$T throttle you out the door too? lol
If you're looking for battery improvement, try Kobridge tweaks linked under KO in my sig.
There are diff modes for better performance(SF) to better battery(A)
They definitely perfect CM9
Tegrak works well, but I don't undervolt because of the KO tweaks.
Tegrak is the only one we can use right now. I prefer SetCPU though because it's a lot simpler. I hope to return to using that once we get custom kernels after ICS source is out.

I use tegrak. I generally undervolt -50mv on each step and on GPU steps. Seems to work well and add a little bit of battery life back.

Thanks. You use it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Yes, i use it with aokp nightlies. It's fast and great battery life too.
I'm using Trinity and I'm very happy with it! Very smooth!
To be honest here, I tried so many different kernels and the battery life is about same. Really. Performance and color wise, it is different, but Franco, Trinity, Popcorn, Stock, and Faux has almost same battery life unless you actually do something to it. If you really want that little bit of battery though, Trinity squeezes about 10~30minutes more screen on time thanks to undervolting, but I use Franco, because I like the performance on this bad boy and I can also undervolt on this and get about same battery life as Trinity.
So you can literally use any custom kernel and expect same battery life with a little bit of customization and tweaks.
I've only unlocked and rooted for 2days, primarily to be on yakju and get timely updates.
So far i've tried trinity, fugu and franco's kernel...but my phone seems to be allergic to trinity and fugu, so im sticking with franco for now..next im gonna experiment on OC n UV...see how things go then.
+ another for franco. It does give my phone a bit more snap with about the same to a little better battery than stock. Games run noticeably smoother also*
Looks like franco takes the cake then. Thanks guys. I'll give it a spin. Seems like the superior choice since you can still undervolt through that.

Yes, but be careful when you're undervolting. Make sure that you uncheck "apply on boot" and use "Stability Test" app from Play Store to see if your currenty voltage is stable
franco is the premier master kernel developer imo

you would need to reflash your rom with trinity the first time, since franco kernel uses it own ramdisk. you want trinity to grab the roms ramdisk, not francos.

Used both Franco and Trinity. Franco has a bit more batt life, but Trinity has better default color values.
Franco has more frequencies, but Trinity has more governors and i/o schedulers

Hey guys,
recently rooted my phone (for the first time) and flashed CM10. I've been reading about Kernels and how they can improve battery life and performance and stuff.
I haven't really understood how a kernel would work. Can I just flash it like how I flashed a ROM? Would it 'delete' my earlier CM10 kernel?
Which kernels are compatible with CM10? Which is the best for battery life and snappiness of the processor?
I've heard of Lean,PopcornKernal, and of course, francos.
Thanks,
Sahil
All of them are good. There isn't a best kernel. You should really stay away from asking those questions. And if you don't tune the kernel there is no way to get any difference than from stock.
Sent From My Toro+ via RED Tapatalk
Im not sure if cm10 requires its own set of kernels but my phone liked the air kernel (ran cooler) and lean (as a bonus removed the purply tint at lower brightness)

depends on the kernel, on the device and on the user.

kernels are like the engine to a car/rom. They're pretty much what manages and drives everything, whereas the rom is like the entire OS.
Every ROM comes with a kernel by default but it can be replaced simply by flashing a kernel on top of it. Conversely, flashing a rom will replace whatever kernel you're running now with the rom's kernel.

Many kernels come with their apps (which can be found in their threads), or some apps might have access to some properties. Also, some roms (cm comes to mind) have access to some properties of some kernels, though there was a recent fuss made about incompatibility so its not perfect.
Franco Kernel
Hey guys! I want to root my GN and I'm a bit confused about what Kernel use...
I have seen this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367341
Did anyone try the newest version of Franco Kernel (r292)? What's about stability, battery drains, lags... ?
I'd recommend trying Franco's kernel out, it is supported by a nice updater app that can auto-flash the kernel and keep you informed of updates. Doing a bit of research yourself is also always recommended here - this site is for learning about your device. Good luck!
James bond kernal claims to be best in battry life , bt acc. To me trinity alpha 67 with setcpu profiles provide best results.

I'm thinking of flashing a different kernel to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus so I can overclock the CPU/GPU. I've noticed that franco.Kernel and Trinity seem to be among the most popular kernels, but I'm not sure which one to choose. In your opinion, what is the best kernel for overclocking and why? FWIW, I have the Verizon model of the phone (toro) and am currently running CyanongenMod 4.1.2, which is based off of Android 4.2.2.

Antutu or CF bench are good apps.. And a warning: overclocking will decrease the life of your phone! Be careful! If you want to use your phone a little longer I wouldn't do it (I wouldn't anyway because I think this phone is very fast especially with Android 4.3)..

Hi,
I've decided to bump this thread because all other GNex OC threads are very dated.
I recently received the extended battery 200mah and I'm ready to overclock. I wish to retain battery life to have screen time 3-4 hour on moderate usage.
I'm current rooted on stock ROM, and I wish to simply stay with stock ROM provided battery life will remain the same (perhaps I have to undervolt)
I want to hit 1.5GHz CPU and 384MHz GPU...which is what the OMAP and PowerVR SoC's true default clocks.
Given my circumstances of stock ROM, which kernel would give me the best stability/battery life? Any kernel that somehow has OC settings built in or do they all require me to buy setCPU?

They all use setcpu or trickster mod. Regarding the kernel you just should try some out.

What type of OC are you running?
Do you actually notice it day to day usage? I cant think of any apps that could benefit from it besides gaming which I do very little of on mobile.
How has it affected your battery life?

I don't OC myself. I want my gnex to last some longer. OC will wear out tour CPU.. I die it once for a day maybe two but didn't notice any improvement. I was at 1.5 GHz or something.. I think it may have some speed improvements but your battery will drain like a maniac. If you don't game I suggest you underclock: even more battery life with no speed loss!!
