Loving my GNex, however I've only had it a couple weeks.
There are several kernels out there, and from comparing all of them and reading all the threads as much as I can, they all seem to have relatively similar features... I'm having a hard time picking one.
Is there someone who can clarify the differentiating features of each kernel? Are certain kernels better suited for different ROMs? Do certain ones have compatibility or other persistent issues?
Mainly:
faux123
franco
GlaDOS
jamesbond
Trinity
I've tried faux123 015m (loved faux's kernels on the Sensation, but I had some mobile data issues with it on the GN) and Trinity (latest seems fast/stable, except the color profile was messing with me). I'm trying GlaDOS now. Again, though, I'm not sure what advantages or perks one kernel flavor gives me over the next. Can anyone shed some light?

I have tried them all myself at one time or another and i always come back to GLaDOS. I chose to run this because of the unique and innovative features Ezekeel has developed plus the great battery life. BLX, Vibration control, Touch Wake and of course the Wheatley Governor which was developed for this kernel to give the best performance and battery life, which in fact it does. The GLaDOS control app is great too and Ezekeel is always updating and making it better.
GLaDOS is exclusive to Rootzwiki that why you don't see too much mention of it here unfortunately ... I'm not even sure if Ezekeel lurks around here anymore?

Thanks for your responses!
However it looks like people are just posting what they use. What I'm looking for is information on what differentiates each kernel.. what is each kernel's "claim to fame"? From what I've seen, all of the kernels' features look pretty similar.
For example, "X kernel balance performance and battery really well. Y kernel reduces the voltage to the screen to further battery savings. Z kernel is more focused on performance. A kernel allows your phone to make popcorn." etc.
Or are they basically the same?
Thanks blowtorch for giving some information as to what differentiates GlaDOS from the rest

Jamesbond will likely give you best battery life and stability. He has a couple of other kernels with some performance boost. Glados was buggy as hell and some other things but that is for you to decide. Other kernels for me were kind of meh. I honestly dont understand how so many people say this kernel or that kernel is the best or best on battery life when so many tweaks in X kernel add more performance at the cost of mah. I liked glados and its features a lot but it came at a cost too high. Touchwake is a really nice feature in it and i am surprised more people don't ask for it. Another kernel i liked was bamf paradigm but i am not using it. I would like to try that rom again in the future but it wasnt ready for me personally. Havent tried franco's at all. Just seems to be feature packed kernel but for what?

I like francos so far works great with my favorite rom AOKP, buttery smooth, stable as hell, you can go battery saver or performance since you can OC/UV, etc, if you buy the App in play store it works great cuz he updates the kernel oftem and you can use either milestone versions or nihgtlies, and has the option for autodownload and autoflash the lastests updates.
You can change screen color values, as i said oc/uv, change the boot animation, and plenty other stuff..
Thats my 2 cents on your research
Edit: forgot to tell you, he also has a support mail , and if you have any issue kernel related he will answer with a solution if possible.. Report bugs etc

I've been using GlaDOS for the last couple days and haven't had any of these issues. Bluetooth is working perfectly, even over my car's hands-free setup which has been problematic with some kernels, and audio is working perfectly... maybe you were on an older build?
Anyone have any other info? I'm surprised nobody has said anything about faux or Trinity..
Well I guess I'll be the first to represent faux kernel over here. Like that its not over done and no special app is needed to control it and the gamma control from panda board he forward ported is pretty slick if you ask me

Trinity is legendary ... never got around to faux
I'm sticking with CM9 Kernel for now it's as good as the rest IMO plus they are integrating more and more into it ... missing touch wake though from GLaDOS, oh well
I'm mainly looking for battery life now. I don't really notice much difference between most of these kernels in terms of battery life. All of these kernels have good performance without overclocking.
I find that i bounce around from kernel to kernel and in the end when all is said and done no kernel is better than the other and it really comes down to preference.

I've seen many custom kernels cooking for GN, yet, what if i am fine with stock kernel but only want the ability to UV? is there any kernel or app like Tegrak for GS2 which only enables OC /UV for the beloved GN? thx.
Honestly flash Franco's kernel its not hard and relatively safe* you won't find a stock kernel with uv

I dont think you should be using Franco's kernel. Afaik it is only for those on 4.0.3 Roms. To the OP, I can vouch for.the Jame Bond kernel. Have been using it for a week and a half and havent had any issues. Undervolting seemed to help my battery life quite a bit.
Thanks for the heads up on this kernel. I've been meaning to ask the same question. Franco's kernel is awesome, but all of the 4.0.3 ROMs are just to harsh on battery for the increase in speed. It's a noticeable performance boost, but I'm not quite willing to sacrifice 2x the battery life. There's a reason there isn't official 2.0.3 yet.
Disclaimer, that is NOT a knock on our developers. The inherent issues with 4.0.3 aren't their faults. All of the 4.0.3 ROMs that I've tried have been really, really slick

I've used 4.0.3 on AOKP this whole time and never have any problems with battery. Although your milage may vary, I have the GSM variant of it. Did you try updating the bootloader as well (PRIMEKL01)?
I'm on Verizon and there is a BIG difference between GSM and LTE on 4.0.3.
The notion that a bootloader increases battery life is also really, really silly.
according to suggestion, I've tried JameBond 1.2mhz with 307GPU, just undervolted with recommended settings, the screen on time seems to be improved!
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!

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.

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

Hey guys. I'd like to know what kernel you think suits you best. I'm looking for both subjective answers and objective answers. Which of the following suits you best?
Franco kernel
Trinity kernel
Faux kernel
Glados kernel
Stock CM kernel
Other
Please post a comment explaining why you have chosen the way you did. Feel free to discuss any kernel and also share your phenomenal tips and tricks.
glados for:
best compromise (for me)for performance\battery
fully featured like many others kernels but.....most of these features came from glados's dev,and then others dev implement it,love liveOC and is the unique with that feature,the dev is very gentle and available,the kernel can be adjusted via the control app,and IMHO is more good that trinity\franco's app for features,dispositions,colors,style etc.
i tried and used all the kernels and buyed all the dev's control app.my choice is glados,after 2\3 months of usage i don't want to came back.the best for my usage\tastes\preferences.
only 2 things that i miss:
a minimal slot of 190\220 mhz
preset pre-configured like franco's app (powersave,music,high power,etc etc..)
The kernel packaged with CM9 is faux, unless the CM team uses faux as a base and changes something in it..
Franco for me, despite some issues he is devoted to making his kernel perfect and his app is really good too for updating. Makes life a lot easier. With Franco's kernel I can say I have hardly ever had an app FC. I've tried other kernels but I just find with Franco's there is just more consistency and when I look at his thread I know what is going on almost instantly. This is my experience. I also like Fugu kernel and Trinity and GLAdos so on occasion I will try them out.
No Lean Kernel? Probably one of the most popular Kernel's out there
IAP Samurai kernel just rolled on the scene and couple of weeks ago. It's in the Sprint Gnex development section. I recommend giving it a try, Earthbound did some real good kernels in the OG Epic. Community and now he's brought his talents to the Gnex. It is based on Faux, but with IAP twists.

I completely agree. Franco/Lean kernel is the way to go. If I had more time throughout the day I'd like to try out the others again, but I don't feel like there's a need. Franco's kernel and app are great!
Hi all,
New to Android so apologies if this is a stupid question, but what kernel control app do you use?. I'm looking for a universal one to use with all kernels I may flash.
I love flashing and trying new kernels, but each one has their own paid app. I can't really justify paying for each one unless I know I will be using that same kernel for a long period of time.
Running AOKP, I can already change some of the settings but I'm wondering if the other settings that you get in kernel control apps (like Franco's updater) really make a material difference?
Cheers
In my opinion GLaDOS takes care of most of the kernel functions. I've been using it with GLaDOS, CMPlus, air kernel and Trinity.

Oh interesting. Here I thought those kernel specific apps would only work for the particular kernel. I don't really have a problem buying a kernel control app from the cool people who have been making these kernels, but I despise the idea of having to buy an app per kernel lol

If you want to buy only one app as something like supporting the dev., I would recommend GLaDos' app.
Literally EVERY kernels around import thing from his work.
He is not a nice guy to chat with, but he indeed make some great works... And personally, I think Franco release a easy-to-use app is the main reason why his kernel is so popular... nothing really impressive in his kernel in fact , it's never easy asking everyone can play with some shell command and init.d script.
Now Glados app is great and full of feature too, including bootloader lock toggle tweak..

I've bought all three. They're not expensive and I like it better than "donating" since I've had poor luck with devs and donating. Hell, lost a device that way....

Every kernel uses ezekeels tweaks. You do know that right??
I mean even in nexus s everyone was using ezekeels tweaks....
Even cm, they took ezekeels colour implementation and used it.
Sorry but I think you don't know what you are talking about.
