Your best bet is to try a few out, and test them yourself. It's really going to depend on how your phone is set up, what you have installed and how you use your phone. Since this varies from phone to phone, it's not such a black and white issue.
agreed. As a starting point I have had great battery life (for my usage) from the vastly underrated popcorn kernel. Others swear on a Franco kernel or morfic's Trinity kernels. But as said, your mileage may vary so don't be afraid to give a few a go.

imoseyon kernel is very good for battery life. no problems with kernel wakelocks and i get about 0.5% battery drain per hour when the screen is off with wifi on but this depends on how many widgets or other apps that are syncing. i only have one weather widget that syncs every 4 hours.
Everyone has different results (and placebos)
I personally use Franco's, it was struggling for a few versions so I had chance to test a few others Faux's good as is glasdos.
Franco's 18.6 currently giving me some of the best i've had on my phone

Hello All!
I made a similar thread to this over at the SGSII forums and was wondering what your answers are. So, the question is simple, which Kernel are you using and is the battery decent? Or a pile of rubbish? Lemme know. Poll has been setup with the main Kernels, I'll put an "other" option for people who are using new Kernels.
So, poll away!

was using James Bond kernel 1.35 OC UV, never crash or lag. far better battery life than stock and super smooth.
right now i am testing faux123's kernel V9u for 4.0.2.

I tried Faux 4.0.3 Kernel yesterday, battery was losing 2% every 30 mins on idle, with next to 0 apps installed.
Running Stock AOKP Milestone 2 kernel, whichever kernel that is!
I wanna try different kernel but my ROM is perfect, not sure sure what other kernels may add that my rom already has and does.

As far as features go, Franco.Kernel adds color and vibrance to your screen. Its also tweakable so you can customize the color settings as you please. Battery is apparently awful though.

I am sort of noticing that battery life isn't so great too, although I wasn't sure since I haven't been running it for very long.
I was also looking for the best kernel.
Everybody talks about franco.Kernel. I will give it a try though.
Was using Franco's until earlier and now back to the Apex kernel that comes with bigxie's AOSP build
Eh? Franco kernel has the best battery life for me.

I just loaded on Lean kernel yesterday. Initial indications are that the battery life is extremely good.
180mhz cpu while screen off = happy battery.
Giving glaDOS a try.. it has some cool features like turn the screen on by touching it.. also has color control and battery life seems pretty decent so far. Big fan of imoseyon though.

I'm currently on Bigxie Build 8 with the Kernel included with it. Battery is pretty good. Underclocked my CPU to 970MHz. Losing 2% battery overnight (About 8 hours) and High usage I'm getting a decent amount of battery.
I'm wondering: I'm running ARHD 2.1.3 and thinking about flashing a kernel. Franco's had more options, but I'm getting that Jame Bonds kernel has a better battery life. That appeals to me. edit: ah, I see that Franco's is only for 4.0.3
Still, when I flash the kernel with ARHD 2.1.3 running, is it better to flash the anykernel.zip or should I just flash the original kernel?
Argh, just in the fun, looking for the best kernel. I'm between Franco's and Der Kernel Trinity NP (by the way, NP, Google, don't let Samsung impose it's boring naming system)
Trinity offers 512OC for the GPU, but I'd say Franco gives a better battery life....
Hmmmm difficult decision, isn't it? What do you guys think?
Currently rocking the Trinity kernel with mildly OC'd GPU (384 MHz).
I'm using imoseyon's kernel. I love minimalist kernels. Stable, fast, and not full of crapfeatures that just cause everything to crash and SOD and bootloop.
I think it's probably a good idea to give a try first of the kernel that comes with the ROM. Developers often adjust the ROM around the kernel they use and vice versa.
i went back to the James Bond kernel, no reboot or lag.
Lean IMO

i did some searches in the forum, read up on saving battery tips, i hope i didnt just wake a sleeping beast. its not my first forum i have been on.
i was just wondering if in the community there is a generally accepted Rom/Kernal (i know they arent interchangeable) that is a must have for keeping ICS stock and increasing battery time to amazing levels. thanks for your input peeps!
Am running the Gummy Rom 0.7.0 with Imoseyon 1.8.0 kernel..i tried them all this seems to have the best battery for me,,Ive haven't messed with any overclocking or anything,,its awesome for me..
It is all different device to device for kernels at least.
Most people swear on Franco.kernel but I don't have much luck with it. I use GLaDOS.
A lot of people will say AOKP is the best rom for battery but I believe that is just because a lot of people use AOKP in general.
The stock kernel gets amazing battery.
i like the name of GLaDOS =D....ill do some research into it, thanks!
ill look into gummy rom as well...
do you guys think you are getting better bat life with the ROM you are using vs the stock one?
AOKP + Franco Kernel (or GLADOS)
and its also kernel not kernal (just for correction!)
the roms have a part in battery life..even as themes...sometimes darker themes use less brightness, less pixel use theoretically should use less battery..also my brightness is down to 25 to 30 range. brightness on these large screens kill battery....even the nexus stock is basically the same as far as battery...I think it really depends how much usage your doing....
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I think it all depend on your usage, not on the rom
i definately agree with you guys on usage dictates battery life, i can make my phone last all day or kill it in 3hrs. i just wasnt sure if there is a gods kernel (thank you zephiK) that makes it last an awesome amount of time or what people see a huge improvement from heavy use.
i recommend android open kang project AOKP and franco's kernel
i noticed that with stock settings and no UV (yet) my phone has much better battery
currently 11hr 52 mins at 62%, however alot of that is standby time, with some texting and voice calls
franco kernel has a great battery life IMO
Apex by bigxie + nova launcher. OC 1350, UV recommended settings in second post in op http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399238

I have had improved battery life using this combination as well, and I use it pretty regularly throughout the day.

Hey Guys!
Okay, like the title questions - Which is the best kernel out there?
Please specify in terms of battery life / performance / speed etc.
I've used franco and Popcorn till now, both are great but I must admit that the battery life on the franco kernel is better whereas the screen looks better on popcorn due to that different colour management thing the Dev uses.
Well , There is not clear answer on what the best kernel is for everyone , actually the most populer kernel in xda develepers are Franco kernel and james bond kernel , I go back to stock rom and I've been using stock rom and it's 4.0.2 , that's why and Franco kernel doesn't support 4.0.2 , I choose james bond kernel and I'm happy with it

i`ve tested all available kernels in the last days and have to say morfic`s latest trinity test kernel called aelp works best for me. good battery life on standby, in use and smooth in every situation.
Franco for me. Your milage is going to vary. Try them all until you find the one that works best for your phone.

Anyone know which is the best on battery? I've tried Slim, CM10, and ICJ. I'll go as far as trying an ICS AOSP, but does anyone have any good recommendations? Is it possible that I could completely De-Sense a ROM? Like take a sense rom but have the AOSP notification drawer and settings and say Nova Launcher?

i think battery is more related to the kernel than the rom per se. That being said, I'd suggest ICJ since it uses NCX kernel by default and IMO that is the best kernel for battery life.

Completely agree! NCX kernels giving better battery life than other ones.

ICJ is probably the best One X ROM in terms of features, but for me it heats up way to quickly to the point where I can't use the ROM as battery drain is so bad.

99% of the time it's a rogue app doing that to the phone.
can you check in better battery stats which app is keeping the phone awake or if the phone is achieving deepsleep.
maybe one of the apps isn't playing nice with the phone and keeping it awake or draining it a lot.
if you're patient you can wait a while and try Owain's domination, which is my favorite aosp rom, though he hasn't been able to update it for a while,
but from what i've read, the next update should be amazingly awesome!!!
that + ncx's kernel should provide a good mix of battery life and features.

CM10 wins with zero idle drain over a few hours.
Sent from my OneX
I'm using CM10 nightlies. With the stock kernel I was lucky to get 10 hours standby with average use or 1 hour screen, and the phone was getting very hot. I changed to the NCX kernel and now I'm getting 24 hours standby with average use or up to 4 hours screen time.
I am surprised no one mention CM10 SE ver 2. I am on it and this is the only AOSP ROM that I managed to convince myself to stay on. And I have tried the rest. My phone stays cool on it, I have not met with any bugs with my usual usage of games, xda, browsing, music, camera, phone.. and it is smooth. Feature-wise, it is not as rich as ICJ or AOSP but I never needed so many features and more features just add to the probability of more bugs.
Try out CM10 SE by Seadersn!

I'm a noob and only tried 2 custom ROMs, but CM10 nightlies were draining my battery too quick so i tried CM10 SE and have been with it for a few versions now. Find the battery great on it.
Once the AOSP ROMs work on new HBOOT ill unlock again, but for now I'm content with sense 4+ and nova launcher.

I've been using CM10 SE since yesterday and the battery has been fantastic. I'm on HBoot 1.31 so no GPS but everything else works perfectly. I went to bed last night with the battery on 87% and woke up this morning to find that it was still on 87%
Everyone has his own preference for ROMs. There's no point in comparing them with scales such as "speed", "battery life" or "smoothness".
You have to try them on your own and find out yourself.

Whats your rom + kernel setup? how much battery life are you getting out of that?
Another "best combo" thread in disguise.

PA - franco kernel. **** battery life cuz there's no cell service in my apartment/classrooms so my phone dies super fast. but still very reliable, I don't mind charging it whenever I'm on my comp/at home. I always use it to control my spotify at parties and whatnot with 0 issues
