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.

I know, I know there is probably a thread out there already.

Just traded my razr maxx for a cdma nexus. Obviously I know I'm going to notice a huge difference in battery life. So my question is what rom/kernel combos are providing the best results in battery life, speed, and stability. Feel free to bash me, but, please leave me your opinion ;-)

If your title states there is already a thread... why are you making another one?

Because I cant find the thread im looking for. Xda search sucks.

i like
aokp comes with faux123. its ****in sweet.
i always go back to imoseyons lean kernel
favorite rom is aokp.
oh check your pms

I'm on Liquid ROM 1.25 it's smooth and lasts whole day for me with about 40% left when I go to bed.
Hope this helps.

Liquid with stock kernel?

Why did you trade your max for a Nexus? I have an offer that's why I'm asking.
Development?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

CM9 + GLaDOS 1.28 ... CM9 is super stable with lots of features and it has none of the other bloat and bugs found in other roms out there (i've tried them all crack flashing and always come back to CM9) GLaDOS is simply the best kernel out there right now especially with EzeKeel's new Wheatly governor and vibration control ... best performance, batter life and stability ... if you don't know now you know

aokp b31 with franco r121, near 5 hour screen time and got me through full day too, with 14 left.
nothing surpasses franco kernel, and the best rom with most customizations is aokp. if u wanna go lite, try slimics with franco, also beast

Maxx is great but nexus has development. Ill miss the maxx battery life though. 6 1/2 hours of screen on time yesterday

Ive been running...
AOKP 4.2.2 Milestone build and franco kernel Nightly #378 (Full Version for all features). Then a little tweaking and modding and your phone will be a beast!! Haven't flashed a new rom in almost two months that's how sturdy and bugless this rom is.

Examples?

Try a different kernel, Franco does a lot of demanding tweaks with his (Including GPU overclocking).

Kernel recommendations

Running vicious jb 4.1. Just wondering what kernels you all would recommend. The battery life is good but I'm liking to squeeze a little more out of it during the day. Any suggestions?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Try franco.Kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367341

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

Running stab test now. Looks like a video game. What does it do exactly

trinity kernel. and if not, youre just denying yourself one of the finer kernels in all of android.

Haha OK guys I get it, Franco. Already flashed it. Must be a marvel in its own

How do you like Trinity? Figure I get it just to have in case I want to compare
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda app-developers app

wonderfully stable. can be the best on the battery if you need it to be, or the beast that it is in performance.

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.

ha, guess that solves why my phone doesnt like trinity.guess im gonna try that next time

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

If you want great colors and performance: trinity. If the colors dont mean a **** to you use franco

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Best I have found is stock.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

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.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

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
