Rom Question concerning kernels. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi there, new Nexus user here and have just currently flashed AOKP M5. Just wondering if that comes with its own kernel or do I have to pick my own?

it comes with a stock kernel. You have the option to flash another one if you so please. These other kernels allow for over clock and under volt. And other numerous features. Being a new person I would stick to stock and later on try other kernels.

Every AOKP version (including M5) I have flashed comes with FAUX kernel, at least, that is what franco.kernel Control app tells me before I flash franco.kernel.

I use Franco and Trinity...Trinity is best for battery life. Both are great and other kernel are good too but for me these have been the best for battery which to me is very important.

recommended rom and kernel

hello everyone tomorrow ill be leaving my htc desire as my main phone and getting a galaxy nexus, after i unlock the boot loader and root the phone, and messed around with it, i will most likely flash a custom rom and kernel, the only thing is im not sure which rom to use untill cm9, any recommendations?
thanks
I'm using gummy and love it. Stable, fast, good battery life, lots of options for customizing. Can't say enough good things about it. Let us know what u go with.
I'm using AOKP with Franco's kernel. Great customization, speed, and stability on both fronts.

I was running CM9 kang until today with trinity kernel from morfic. Batter life was great but I couldn't help myself I had to try the 4.0.4 build. so far so far good but I'm missing some of the customization options from cm9.
I highly HIGHLY recommend using Codename Android. The kernel isn't so much important on this phone as it is with other ones. Codename android comes with its own custom kernel and it works great. Its a great ROM.

+1 I agree with you
AOKP M3 + Franco Kernel. There's a reason that this is the most common setup.

This. Throw in the 4.0.4 radios, and you've got a great combination IMHO.

Kernel not important on the GN? I highly disagree with you. The benefits from using a alternative kernel is endless especially when looking at Franco Kernel.
AOKP + Franco for me.

Best rom for Galaxy Nexus?

What rom do you currently have on your galaxy nexus?
just got a nexus and has kang rom on it. i want to know what the best rom is
battery life and such things.
THANKS BROS
AOKP and lean kernel. Fastest and best battery life.

AOKP and some kernel. I personally use Franco Kernel but look around and see what you like the most.
where can i find this rom? thanks for quick replies
Check the Dev section.
Goodluck!
Now with AOKP, use to be Slim. Both of them are great.
right now i think AOKP is the best. i used the official CM9 nightlies and there were pretty awesome, but still needs some features that i really need
Official CM9 Nightlies, Franco kernel.
Faster than the speed of light.

I'm using codename and just recently switched to francos 18.4 and now 18.6 kernel. I have zero complaints, the only thing I haven't gotten to work is Google plus hangout video chat but I haven't updated to the latest gapps yet. I bet I will try akop one day since it is so popular (maybe at milestone 4) but I have no reason to. Codename is killer smooth.

I was running ARHD but switched to the most recent CM9 nightly earlier this morning. CM9 is faaaaassst and so far no issues. Oh and I'm using the stock CM9 kernel.

When people say you have to try every from and find one for you, that's completely untrue for the galaxy nexus, once you try AOKP you won't change at least until MIUI is official for me

Definitely liking AOKP Milestone 3. Plenty stable for me, and adds some nice features not included with the stock ROM. Paired with GladOS 1.15 kernel. Butter smooth, ~3+ hours screen on time with the stock GSM battery.
apparently aokp is the boss rom
AOKP and lean kernel+ leantweaks

AOKP and Morfic Trinity kernel... I've been testing alot of kernel and trinity is by far the smoothest and as amazing battery life! And for those who use quadrant as reference ; I average 3700 on ondemand

How is trinity in comparison to lean?

Why is everyone who uses AOKP suggests other kernel? Is the kernel that comes with AOKP not good enough?

I personally got best battery life and smoothness using lean kernel after testing every other kernel. Different results for different people I guess so you'll have to try kernels out yourself and see what you find best

I've just switched to the Glados Kernel found on RootzWiki with AOKP, and it's the best combination I've tried so far I think.

Galaxy Nexus Kernel?

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.

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.
mpu/core/iva voltages, smartreflex and color control are a few examples.

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.

Kernel question

Hey guys what are peoples thoughts on cm10 using a different kernel as packaged? Any better kernels out there or is the stock cm one the best to stick with for that ROM?

Prepare for answers that will list the following kernels in random order:
- Franco's kernel
- Trinity
- Leankernel
- <insertkernelnamehere>
The truth: there is no 'general best kernel'. Best is what works best for you and your phone.

Exactly. Your results will always vary from other users. Try different kernels, give em a few days each... see which one you like the most.

Best battery 4.2.1 rom kernal combination

First of all.. A very happy New Year to all
Ok.. There are many roms on xda and kernals too
If someone has figured it out.. could anyone tell me which rom-kernel combination is the best for battery (and settings to if needed)
Thanks in advance

There is no such thing as best. My phone and your phone are not identical, even though they may have very been from the same production lot. Nor are the individual circumstances under which two given people use their phones identical. Something that performs extremely well on one phone may very well boot loop on another.
Do some research by reading the applicable dev forum, and then try some different combinations for yourself to see if they work for you under your unique set of circumstances.

I am using Cataclysm ROM with the inbuilt kernel that comes with it and I am completely happy with the battery life.
I could get 2 days out of my device on general usage.
You could try that.

I REALLY doubt you will get the BEST battery performance out of stock.
KERNEL.
there is no best combo, there is only the best combo for you and your device. for me its rasbean jelly rom with trinity kernel. but whats best for me and my device might not be right for you and your device.
I've been using cataclysm with Franco kernel for a while and have been very satisfied.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Agreed, there is no best. I've had good luck with muzzy's aosp room and Trinity kernels. But you might not like that combo. I'm not interested in gaming for instance, so my needs might be different than yours. Try different combos and you'll discover your own best.
Ok.. got it.. thanks everyone

stock rom is the best in my opinion
I think Xylon (014) with the default lean kernel gives good battery life. Tried the ROM with Franco 358 but i went back to lean.
Also, i make site that my most of my apps aren't running in the background and using up the battery... That's what the FAQs from Franco's OP in his thread mentions.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I get over 5 hours screen on time and a flawless smooth ROM with heavy usage with both data and WiFi on with xylon stable and ak purity kernel running Wheatley gov. I just addressed this on the xylon thread. Works well for me and some others.. Have a look its worth the flash to see.

Best I have found is stock.

Check my sig. I can't use any rom other than paranoid. I've tried many different kernels, but i keep going back to Franco.
Whatever combo I use, no more than 2hrs of screen time and 16hrs of standby.

I had great luck with Xylon (latest) with Tiny (latest)
Just flashed Evolution 3.0 and Lean Kernel (latest) and after 2 days I am satisfied.
Good Luck.

For me it's I've been on Muzzy's French Vanilla on stock kernal. However, I've read good things about tiny's kernal too but I haven't tried it myself.
As a noob in the android community, and after trying different roms, i like rasbean the most for different reasons, but on choosing a kernel, for example trinity, there are a lot of options. What's the difference? I really not get it :silly:
for example, TNP1536-512-JB-4.1.2-STABLE67
So this one is max 1536Mhz CPU and max 512 GPU i read on derkernel site
So there's a different setting for graphics (gpu)? I always tought CPU was working between 1536-512 Mhz?
And euh, when i have trinity's app, i can change the settings of this kernel to get this one? (TNP1344-384-JB-4.1.2-STABLE67)
So this is the same kernel but with different settings?
Please make me a little bit smarter
