[KERNEL] Franco or Faux?

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

[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.

Best ROM for battery life?

Currently on Slim's JB 2.5.0 and with only WiFi and screen on 3/4 brightness I manage about 2.5 hours at most. What can I do to improve this abysmal battery life? I'm loving stock JB (never thought I'd say that) but not loving the battery life that's inherited also.

Possibly the battery issues are due to a rogue app, so check that first with something like better battery stats if you haven't already
Could also just be that they're unofficial(not htc source) jb. Not sure how much of a difference it makes, I assume that the ics ones being based on official source, would likely have better battery than the new jb roms. Not 100% on that but you could always do a nandroid backup, try an ics rom (venom with faux or francos kernel recommended) and see if it's better. If you don't like it just restore backup, flash the previous jb kernel and done

Also, it does depend what you're doing when the screen is on of course ie reading a book would take less battery than browsing web

I recommend NCX custom kernel! The battery now on my One X is really good some users are coming back with 6hours on screen time =) test them all out for a few days and see =)

hi
for me coredorid is the best it give great battery life i get around 2 days with min use and a little of data i dont get much drain in the night and i dont off my phone it is on 24/7 :good::laugh:

I find that turning 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' to 'Only when when plugged in' in WiFi advanced makes a big difference. If you are using your phone Wi-Fi stays turned on. If you're not, when the phone sleeps, so does your WiFi. As soon as you wake your phone the Wi-Fi comes back on, so it really doesn't effect much

i agree, the only difference to watch out for, is how much battery the mobile internet would use in comparison, i *think* that the wifi is generally said to use less battery than mobile internet, but maybe this depends more on the signal strength etc

Keeping screen brightness low and wifi, mobile data, BT etc. off helps, but..

Hey skelly,
I'm on Slim's JB 2.5 as well with ncx 7.5 kernel and I'm getting about the same battery life as you (assuming the 2.5 hours you're talking about is screen time ).
For me, it's more than enough to get through the day. Charge at night, then wake up and repeat.
If battery life is important to you, I suggest going back to ICS with Sense first as I get about 2 days batt life with about 4-5 hours screen time. Some ROMs I've had great success with are ARHD and OrDroidX.
I honestly haven't seen anyone post that they're using a JB rom and have had more than or equal to 3 hours of on screen time.

Thanks, everyone.

Oh so JB ROM's are known for their shoddy battery life? I thought it'd be the opposite lol. I'll give both those ROMs a shot at one stage or another, thanks. Where the significant drainage is is usually on my daily commute on the bus: brightness around 85%, music playing reading reddit with data turned on. Usually drains about 20% in around 15-30mins.
The length of time it takes to actually fully charge is a whole different subject, takes soooo long.
How do I flash a new kernel? Through fastboot or CWM?

[Q] ROM Suggestion For HTC One X

Hi ive been reading this forum for a while though I have just signed up and am currently making my first post.
I am currently on SFR Htc One X International Edition Tegra 3 v3.14 (the jellybean one version).
I currently experience heat problems as many on this forum even while web browsing with chrome and listening to music.
I have already rooted my device. My question is : what rom should I use ?
I am looking for a rom which doesn't have all that extra stuff like ViperX like extra options when pressing power button. I am looking for a rom (with sense or without ) that without many alterations except performance tweaks and which will reduce my device temperature.
Thanks for your suggestions

You could try the blade rom, its very stripped down and fast !

I finally installed Blade rom and was very satisfied with it Though it was really fast it still had some heat issues. What I did to fix it was since it was already so fast, I disabled 2 of my cores and the UI was still silk smooth with almost no difference to the naked eye.
Then my battery temperature stayed under 30 degrees when doing normal operation. While web browsing and listening to music a slight heat sensation is present but its okay with a battery temperature not going over 35 degrees.
I tested playing temple run for 25 min and end result was battery temperature of 40-45 degrees and with only a little stuttering. The latter happened only once when i think some auto sync program requested some cpu time but overall i am now very satisfied and my battery life also got really extended.

Hot htc one x

any fix for overheat problem?
very hot near the camera,and phone will turn off when it get off

If you're not unlocked, go into app management and disable all the apps you don't use, turn screen brightness down.
If you're unlocked, installing a custom ROM or kernel works well.

My HOX gets hot only when I play heavy games like NFS Mostwanted
But not during normal use.
Maybe you should try a custom rom or a different kernel as suggested by @treebill

Stock ROM's and kernels overheat the CPU/GPU to a greater extent than custom equivalents.
Typically custom ROM's and kernels have had a far greater amount of development put into them along with assistance from the community at large to properly tune everything for the best balance of power/heat/performance.
That said, expecting a very powerful quad-core part, and a GPU besides, to not heat up inside such a small, passively-cooled space when held in a hand at body temperature, is entirely unrealistic.

My advice in this is the same as it always is when asked for a recommendation.
Try them for yourself until you find a situation you are happy with.
There are MANY ROMs and kernels...and I would say they are ALL good in different ways.
As for ARHD in particular, do not use v22 if you get bad Wi-Fi, use v21 and your Wi-Fi will be fine.

Haven't got a clue, but you might try firstly installing something such as Battery Monitor Widget and checking your voltage just before the point it turns off, your battery % may be reading wrong.
Otherwise it sounds like a software problem that will probably correct itself after replacing the ROM.
If it's operating normally up to that point i'd consider it unlikely to be hardware.

You don't really need a whole ROM or kernel just rooting will help.
Lowering the Max clock to 1.3ghz or lower.
I believe on stock kernel you can disable 2 cores in trickster mod.
