I recently flashed AOKP with Franco's kernel and my battery life dropped significantly. Before I was running MoDaCo 4.0.4 and it was really good, now its borderline unacceptable. Which ROMs are the best for battery life?

Personally up till a couple of days ago I was running stock 4.0.4 with Franco's Kernel AND his Kernel Updater app. He has this mod called HotPlug that turns off a CPU when the screen's off, very cool.
However with IMM76I I'm getting similar battery life stock, unrooted. I got better battery life with 4.0.4 and Franco's than AOKP and Franco's.

So i've been reading up on some kernels. Specifically the ones where they seem to give good battery and stability. Overall it seems the Trinity is most stable, while Franco's is also about the same. However which of these two kernels do you feel that are more stable?
LeanKernel the best battery life and good stability.

i've been trying many kernels for my GN and i totally agreed: in my specific case AOKP+LeanKernel+LeanKernelTweaks=absolutely the best so far!

There are many opinions about this. Some like franco's, some like Trinity and some Lean.
I tested Franco and Trinity on AOKP M3 and can't catch greate differences. I think the kernerls are all good, but the differences are quite low. Its more a placebo which kernel is the best.
Here you can see battery life on GSM Nexus on AOKP and Trinity Kernel: click me!
PS: Never heard of Lean, can anyone provide a link? Search found nothing ..
franco kernel, batery, performance, stability.. the best !

Lean Kernel.
Best battery life, 4+ screen time hours every time even with all the Netflix and Music I watch and listen to.
It's a minimalistic kernel so you can probably get others which would sacrifice battery life for better performance.
Its on rootzwiki, but there's probably a reason its not here, so I won't post a link! Just Google it....IMO, trinity kernel is the best! Especially the 512 MHz gpu version! Smooth and battery life is great! But it truly depends how u use your phone, how much u put it thru. Everyone varies! The beauty of android is u have options! So go nuts and flash em all and try it out

not the best battery life for me
Franco by far. Best overall battery life, refinement and performance.
TRINITY no doubt. I tested Franco, Lean, Fugu over weeks. Apart from Benchmark all showed worse value than Trinity. Most imortant for me is battery live. I am on push exchange for 24 hours, permanent 3G and GPS, automatic update and WiFi roughly 2-3 hours per day. Besides of that approximately 30-45 calls everyday and 85% roming.
Bettry shows in the evening 40%+. Scaling Governor recently changed from OnDemand to HotPlug. Idle Min CPU 350MHz and Max CPU set t 1200MHz.
Warmly recomend to taste.
I have to say, I've flashed a lot if custom kernels in my Android days. Right now, I'm really loving this kernel by Faux123.

The kernel that comes with AOKP suits me fine. Tried Franco for a while but seems like battery drained faster..
I have been using Manhatten IC ROM since I got my Nexus, using Lean Kernel. Has been working fine for me. But I've installed Francos and bought the Franco Kernel Updater. Using FrancoTurtle governor and raised the CPU to allow 1200Mhz, I am amazed. Battery life is great, the phone is snappy and responsive all round.
Can recommend Francos Kernel.
Franco Kernel 13.1 is so far the pinnacle of the Franco Kernel development. I'd recommend it over the later versions where there have been instabilities galore and decreases in performance/battery life. I've tried many kernels(Trinity and Lean are also good) but always end up returning to 13.1!
Regards.
Well thanks for the reply guys! At the moment I'm testing glados, waiting for Franco's 18 tonight. It looks to me its between Franco and lean kernel

I was going to write the exact same thing. I recently switched from Franco to Lean Kernel and am noticing significant battery improvements. Any idea why the latest editions of Franco seem to provide worse battery life?
James Bond 007. I've gotten all the performance that I've had w/ Franco's and an extra two hours of on screen time with heavy network use.

i thought i was the only one who thought this. but yeah, nothing comes close to franco 13.1.
Hey guys
I'm experimenting with the Franco kernel (r89 currently) and I'm wondering if anyone has any info on whether one ROM or another is any more processor intensive than another and, if one is better, if anyone has any suggestions for battery friendly ROMs to run with Franco.
Cheers, Paul
GSM Galaxy Nexus
ROM - Cyanogen 9-20120312-NIGHTLY-maguro
Kernel - 3.0.8-franco.Kernel-nightly 89
Liquid gives me the most battery life.
And which AOKP? more details
Galaxy
Yeah, sorry, milestone 4, have you used it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i cant comment on cm9, never tired it. im currently running milestone 4 and get great battery life. usually about 20 hours idle and 3 hours of screen to kill the stock battery. i dont have anything syncing except weather every 4 hours. No problems with kernel wakelocks.
Awesome, may try Milestone shortly. Is a kernel wakelock exactly what it sounds like, not waking from sleep?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
a wakelock keeps your phone from going to sleep properly when you turn off the screen, ie still using your cpu and battery. check out this thread about wakelocks. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462020
Will do, thanks for the info, learning more every day

For battery life check the 4.0.4 roms or liquidsmooth. better battery and performance too.

i m using gsm version too and i m running 4.0.4. There are 2 4.0.4 roms currently modaco and foxhound with aokp modifications.
i have no issues with cyanogenmod (4.0.3) and battery life, though i do run a custom kernel (fugumod's)
I use CM9/Franco-kernel and have better batterylife then stock (4.0.1) but I have also heard thet 4.0.4 should be better. I'm hoping we soon get the source for 4.0.4
as i m new to g.nexus i want to ask members regarding best combination of custom rom nd kernal
on stock jb i m getting 3 hrs 20 mins of on screen time.

Experiment! My current setup is in my signature. There is no best. I haven't been on the GNex forums too long, but my Nexus S was super picky with what I ran on it, so I just stuck with stock.
is it really possible with no great effect on battery life?
what kernel and rom your using running this rate?

Why don't you try it? It shouldn't have much of an effect on battery life, even overall performance. I used Franco or faux kernel when i overclocked.

CM9/10 + LeanKernel @230:1350 Hz for the past 10 month with no problems, of cousre CM means any rom based on CM such as PA
Any help for that? I think it drains battery faster than the stock ROM

Placebo here...
Battery life on cm10.1 seemed just as good as stock to me.

To me it drains the battery very fast. Hmm
Batt drains fast
I've noticed a quicker drain on the batt as well. When I looked at the batt info it had Messaging using 67% of the battery. This is with the first release of CM 10.1
I am loading the latest nightly now. Lets see if that fixes it.
Battery on 10.1 cm with stock cm kernel was definitely worse than stock. With Trinity it wasn't so bad but was not stable. Aosp ROM with Trinity seems to be the best battery life right now.
I'm using rasbean jelly. And it's a beast man. Great in every aspect!

Not sure what the problem was but after loading a new nightly the batt life improved. Messaging doesn't even show up on batt statistics.
