According to your experience, which of these two kernel is better for stand by and on screen time please?
Thanks

I would say there's not much difference in battery life but I do find Franco is buggy with random reboots and slow reactions every now and then. Faux performance wise is spot on quick fairly good battery but downside is wen playing a game with decent graphics it heats up quite quick.

Did you use the last release for the two kernels ? (franco r12 and Faux 4b8)

I have..both are really good.. but I find the performance slightly better and less heating issues with Faux..

franco hasnt updated his kernel for at least a month. used to really love his kernels, but seems as if hes losing interest in us unless some new stuff from htc comes out. On the other hand, faux is really giving us spetacular stuff with his kernels atm, try it.
Press THANKS if I helped.

simple answer mate..faux...franco has always been a sammy boy and by the looks of things his project looks dead and buried...wished i never got his app but anyway...faux for me and hopefully show-p can fix the issue with s2w and there you have two good kernels..not much of a variety really but faux all the way for me or stock

+1 for faux, especially for gaming with his GPU OC

Faux kernel is very good.
i like it.
even if i'm testing now KERNEL ncx v030 i like faux kernel for the moment.
Faux have Good battery, smooth ...

Yea I used latest ones still got faux now

Thanks all!

Faux is EPIC and rock stable
i dream of HTC including it as stock

How does faux compare to stock in battery/stability/performance, how much is it overclockable / undervoltable?

no need for OC, perfomance is over 200% in games on Faux
all you need is to tweak the governor values, check the performance guide in my signature
we have GPU unlocked back to 520mhz
all the drivers update from the Nvidia linux 3.1 repo
all the drivers and fixes from HTC latest sources
Heat is reduced away from the touch screen
rock stable as stock!
UV is allowed -100mV is the maximum allowed on Tegra3
screen on times around 3 hours
in other words, THE kernel for the One X, also faux is always around he doesn't disappear

I'm not really interested in gaming. Am I right in saying the screen on time on stock is about 4 hours so the battery is better on stock?

well im not a good judge about battery because i keep over driving my One X
try it i think it will match it without gaming
sleep times are as incredible as stock 2.05
benchmark scores are as high as Tegra 33 on the Transformer infinity

founded

I'm using Franco R12 after faux 005b1 and I'm very impressed by the low consumption of this kernel. It's maybe a little less smooth but I'm not a big gamer so it's enough for me.
I'm waiting for the next faux kernel which always have good surprises like the 005b1...

which kernel is the best in terms gaming and browsing. basically my main concern is the battery life. i am using ARHD 8.!. i occasionally play games like stick cricket, temple run, fruit ninja etc. small games. few minutes of browsing. maybe 30mins. please suggest me a better kernel. will do if its none of faux or franco.

I find faux kernels to be very good at performance, but not excellent at battery life. Franco i have used only once, and found it a little buggy, but decent performance. In my opinion, stock kernel is the best one, especially for battery life (I'm not a hardcore gamer).

I've been using Faux 010m for some time now and I find to be very stable and offers great performance. I really don't notice battery life that much, but in general, my battery time is decent.
So yeah, +1 faux

Lean kernel vs Franco kernel

Which one do u perfer guys ? Both are awesone and cant make a decision Battery life ? Hotplug efficiency? Performance ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I'm getting crazy good battery life and performance on lean kernel and AOKP. Franco is good too, but I think I'm getting much better battery life on lean.
Each phone is different find out your preference on your own

James Bond kernel.
I've seen what franco has done with the nexus s kernel, realiable, smooth, and constant updates, it was always my choice. So as soon as i get my GN its the first kernel i'm going to flash and hopefully it won't ever disappoint
same for me. I have a freaking good battery life on lean but better performance with Franco

I've tried both for a great while. Battery life with interactivex on lean and hotplug on franco lean is definitely better, on my phone Lean runs a little bit better. on my phone.

its Imoseyon kernel on Rootzwiki. btw, Ive tried both Lean and Franco kernel, I still prefer Ezekeel Glados kernel though. amazing smooth and friendly battery life.
I was using franco's kernel, but with all the hourly updates lately, it spooked me a little, so now Im on trinity inferno512 kernel, and wow games run fluid with the GPU at 512mhz.
im still debating... im jumping back and forth but i need to stick to one for a week and try it out!
leankernel has updates just as much as franco... i say thats a good thing
i say take a week long test and run some benchmarks with each of those kernels, take a screenshot, and come back with what you like.
Im working on that now.
GLaDOS is by far the best kernel for my phone. No lags whatsoever and four hours of screen on time with the stock battery
I'm starting to lean toward glados myself. I've had a lot of issues with Franco's 14.x kernels.
I've also found lean kernel to be a bit choppy. Shadow gun runs really choppy w lean kernel, but ultra smooth w either Franco and glados. It could be that I'm not using the correct governor though.
I have tried both back and forth. AS of last update I've tried franco 14.4 (deep sleep ~50%) which is good but has a much better battery life (deep sleep at 91%) on hotplug of lean 1.8.0.
+1 for lean
I have used lean kernel for a while now. I used to get lots of lock screen lag with Franco. Which I don't with lean.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Im on Leankernel 1.7.3 right now. Used Francos way before, but after Version 13.1 i started to get battery drain issues. So i switched over to Glados which seemed to have a good battery life to me, but was very choppy overall on Wheatley Gov'.
Lean is the best for me at the moment, almost 4 Hours Screen on time isnt a problem for me, i use the build in InteractiveX Governour, with some heavy undervolting. Data, Sync, Wifi , ... everything enabled. Screen Brightness ~ 35%
I gonna try Lean 1.8.0 Later that day. But i have to admit that Franco's next upcoming with Turtle Governor might be an interessting choice either.
For me, both devs are doing a really great job, both Kernels are good.
I've used three different Franco kernels and had freezing and reboot issues with all three of them. Never had an issue with Lean Kernel.
I don't care what kernel I have. If:
1.At the end of the day on my normal usage phone has less than 60% of battery left it means that the next day I won't manage
2. I have less than 60% I have to recharge overnight
3. Phone can get me throughout the day on heavy usage ...
Don't need any fancy kernels if they don't tick the first box
Edit:
Just tried lean kernel and its way to slow. Scrolling in text app or anywhere really isn't even half as smooth as Franco ....
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
After trying many kernels... I always come back to Faux123's kernel (Currently 011b10u). It's just such great battery life... idle battery drain is just a horizontal line on the battery graph for hours. LOVE IT. (P.S. Ultra-liquid-smoothness too). http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12512-kernelgn-lte3017ics4023uvgpucpu-occifsslqbotgfiopsv010jan-17/page__st__930

Best 2 kernels out there

alright guys, ive been flashing roms since forever the second i got my one x, however their are 2 amazing kernels that i cant choose in between.
Francos r6 and faux123 kernel. both kernels are with no doubt the best out there at the moment.
i am not getting average battery life on francos and faux's seem very stable with UV control. so anyone used both and would like to offer any advice? im really stuck here
i was using Franco r5 thrn i changed to Faux
Faux is better
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I've been using Faux's kernels since Sensation, i've tried many over the years but he always hits the nail on the head everytime. Was glad when he started dev'ing on the One X.
Good power consumption, battery life and governors not to mention some of the nice tech he's brought us like ZRam for example. By the way he still doesn't have the phone yet so if you feel generous then go donate to him so we can get even better kernels!

i just flashed his kernel, hoping for the best.
and 2 beers for him
faux of course!!
The thing that "bothers" me is, if these 2 kernels are so great (people here seem to be fond of faux's but I've heard great things about franco's), why don't these 2 devs join forces to develop the ultimate kernel?

Because every kernel dev has their own vision on how they want it.
When I'm not using one I compile I prefer showp1984 bricked kernel.

I tried all kernels and Faux's has the most battery life and is the coolest one.
How far were you able to undervolt? I can go -150mV without freezes, but it freezes on -175mV (I just lowered them all). So I'm running with -125mV to be safe and it looks like most of the overheating is gone now
i personally think franco kernel is good.
Tried all these kernels always go back to stock.

I've flashed both before, faux wins. Do I like the layout of his thread and announcing new versions? No, haha. He makes up for it though with his awesome kernel releases.
Franco for me! Esp r7. HTC scorce finally fixed! Lol

No one is preventing them from having a side project... Where they could put changes they don't agree with each other.
I just think it's a waste of potential and we'll never have the best kernel/software/whatever, until the best devs on their particular fields join forces. There will always be so much to choose from... Yes, choice is good, but sometimes, there's just too much choice...

I just under-volted 100mV above 1Ghz and -75mV below, which I think it is quite safe.
The only way to properly under-volt is to lock the CPU to a specific frequency, take away 25mV and stress test with benchmark and games. Keep on doing this until we found the minimum voltage the phone lock up, than we can increase the voltage up 25mV and this will be the lowest stable voltage for that frequency.
However, since currently there is not a reliable way to control max and min frequencies with Tegra 3, it is difficult to do the above.
Anyway, -150mV is very good result, I don't think the CPU can take more than that especially on the higher frequencies.
You can néver harm a CPU(chip) when undervolting it. You'll only end up making it unstable when it doesn't get enough power to do it's job.
I tried faux kernel and uv quite much but still overheating exists.. and battery on franco isnt the best for sure.
I like the idea of the two developers working together..

A lack of compiler warnings doesn't make the compiled code any better though.
I prefer Faux's b3. Nothing has come close in battery life yet.

Yup, but franco did include many tegra kernel updates, which somehow result on better performance. I noticed great battery on faux kernel

[Q] Kernel that has best battery and performance?

Ive tried a few and they alll seem to be fairly decent. I woud like one that has good battery life and good performance when I need it. I also wanted it to be stable and have no random restarts or dropped signals.
I would like to know what you think is the best kernel for me that gives me these; I dont need any of the extra features, just good battery life and performance.
THanks in advance.
I've tried different ones and the best one that works for me is the franco.kernel and Eclipse rom. Simple yet great on battery live.
If it helps, I'm using GSM Liquid Smooth ROM. The ROM came with the latest Franco nightly but it doesn't seem as good on battery life as MS4 was. Is there a huge difference between wheatley and interactive?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Yes. Wheatley lets your phone idle when you are using it for less intensive tasks.
Also, There is no best rom or kernel. No one but YOU can determine what is best for YOUR usage and YOUR device.. Just try them all.

But wheatley seems.. not finished, to say the least.
I have an acceptable battery time with the latest GLaDOS kernel, with standard clock frequencies and using interactive as governor. That governor seriously has never failed me.

[Q] Best HOX kernel for battery life (smooth ui no gaming)

What is the best kernel for getting the best battery life? I have tried many and the most screen time I am able to achieve is 3-4 hours. This is better than most users but I am sure that getting 5 hours could be done with a kernel that has proper power savings. The phone is overpowered and ramps up its cpu for simple tasks like sending whatsapps. Also is there a kernel/rom combo for achieving the best battery life that work great together? So far the best for me was the Renovate 3.0 rom running a stock kernel reaching 4 hours of screen time. I am currently running maXimus 2.2 with faux 006m and getting around 3 and a half hours of screen time.
Thanks,

Yes and even purchased his app to see if turning off cores and under clocking would help. His kernel has some serious wifi issues so I could not keep it. But also the cores would turn on even when they are set not to. Seems that it is not perfected yet.

I think I have the newest version. Baseband 2.1204.127.19
i diint want to open a new thread neither i want to hijack this thread. my questions is somewhat similar to the opening post with only few changes. i like to play games in this awesome screen. i use wifi for an hour or so. i need 12 hrs of battery life with around 30mins of light gaming (temple run/stick cricket/fruit ninja etc) what romand kernel should i use which would give me optimum battery life? currently i am on ARHD8.1 with stock kernel.
Try n3ocort3x's kernels. He's developing his kernels for the most battery life without compromising the ui smoothness and performance. Does pretty well on sticking your custom underclocked values and does a great job on undervolting.

I saw this but it says 1.29 base for stock rom. I am running the 2.15 leak. Maybe I will put a JB build using his kernel repacked for one.

[Q] governors and schedulers

I was wondering which governors and schedulers are the best for say performace or battery? I've done a little research on my own, but what do you prefer on your HTC One V? I've got aokp JB running on my cdma one v
Thanks!
I am a kernel dev, so naturally I know whats behind this code Lionheart is my favorite as it has aggressive scaling. No lag is also good, in some cases. On demand is great with battery though. I can get roughly 8 hours mid use with on demand. I hope this helps with deciding your governors.

Hey Simon! I'm actually running your 3.0.46 sick kernel JB with AOKP. It's wonderful!! haha so far, I've been running OC at 1708 with the performance governor and noop scheduler... it's lasted 11 hours and I'm at 73% battery, medium to light use with wifi on the whole time, but it's pretty snappy!
Is Lionheart pretty much a performance governor? You mentioned aggressive scaling, so it's snappy when it needs to be, but saves for battery when you're not using it?
BTW I didn't see a "no lag" governor... not sure what that is, so can you clarify? Also, is performance actually the best for snappiness, or will lionheart be even better? I used to use [email protected]$$v2 on my optimus v, but I'm just not sure what's best here?
Nolag is a new addition. I have been hard at work removing even more htc things Lionheart is a bit nicer on battery then performance, because it will scale to your minimum of its not needed. Perfoance stays at full no matter. Cpu spy will be a good tool to help with battery as well

Oh kool! Well I don't see it in the latest kernel, so will it be in the next kernel? Thanks dude, you're awesome!
I'll fill everyone in on this thread on the work.
We are :
Patching to Linux 3.0.49
Removing htc additions that are hacks and ics specific.
Cleaning Bluetooth and header files up
Updating WiFi drivers
Updating GPU drivers
Overhauling the mmc drivers
We also have a driver dev that's working on camera and maybe eventually an lcdc driver which will allow us to use the experimental caf display needed for cyanogen mod10 and full project butter
