Currently running kyanROM on my S3 and using the stock AT&T kernel. Battery life is ok, but my wifi and data signals sometime intermittently crap out. Don't want to overclock anything, just looking for great performance and batter life......anyone have any positive experiences with different kernels or radios?
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

This is being locked. There is no best kernel or rom combination, it's all personal choice.

I'm an og droid user but just picked up a Dinc for my fiance. She loves the thing but hates the 10 hour (9 hours of that is idle?) battery life.
Last night, I went ahead and rooted it and removed most of the verizon crap-ware and then adjusted her sync settings to hopefully improve her battery life. I also did a battery stat reset.
She loves it as-is so flashing roms is out of the question. I don't have time/she doesn't have the patience for me to flash roms and fix problems that arise. With that being said I would like to explore the other back-end options.
Now, keeping in mind, this dinc is completely stock. Stock sense, stock kernel, stock radio, etc. I've been advised to replace the stock radio with one from Doug Piston. I was told to install the 04.08 version for the EVO. I just want to clarify that this will work for the Dinc running stock froyo sense? Also, if someone could tell me exactly what this does? Is the main benefit better battery life? Or something else? Also, if this is not the correct radio I should install, which is?
My second question is in regard to a better kernel. As stated above, I am stock and will remain on stock sense. What are some good proven kernels that will work on stock sense. Performance on the device is fine, so I'm not worried about that. I'm only looking for a kernel that will boost battery life. I looked around here but I couldn't determine which of these, if any would work on a stock Dinc or if they were just for custom roms?
Anyway, that's all. Thanks in advance for any help on this!
Here is a link to all the different kernels that are available for the Inc. It will say if it works with AOSP or Sense. Just take a look through them and see which one would work the best for what you want. Some will overclock, some will underclock, etc

Whoops didn't notice you had that link already. Some popular ones are incredikernel and heyitslou. I know with incredikernel I was getting good battery life but also was with different ROM not sense.
I have installed a radio on my Inc, been quite fine for the last few weeks as well. From my understanding, the radio may or may not improve gps lock and/or your phone's signal strength depending. This is hit or miss, not everyone notices a stark improvement in both or either category. As such, if you already have poor signal in your area it may not improve your signal therefore it has no effect on battery life.
Someone more knowledgeable in that area please correct me.
You can try whichever radio you desire, I recall many people using 4/08 or the 11/19. Personal preferences aside, your improved battery life depends on how much signal your phone reports that it is receiving.
I have used the heyitslou kernels and have loved the battery life I got with it. I have also upgraded my battery to the 3500mA battery. This did wonders
incredikernel w/ smartass + CM7 and never look back...i know you like the ROM but i think stock sense is what drains the battery the most.
I've had good luck with Lou's kernel running a sense rom.
may want to try Virtuous v3.2.0 its a good stock rom with some clean-up done.
i just got this phone on thursday
my #1 priority is battery life (including idle time) as i dont get to charge my phone until about 6pm daily on my way back home.
also id like a debloated stripped down rom, without all the samsung nonsense included, this generally improves speed and cuts down on lag.
and the reason i specifically pointed out a tw rom is that they are more generally stable than aosp, from my flashing days all the way back to the hero to evo & photon, the non aosp roms had the most things that worked.
no matter how good the AOSP roms were esp with the EVO 4G, something never worked, whether it was gps, vvm, mms not working etc, so yea id like to steer clear from that, i also kinda like tw and of course cant beat the camera options.
i know the 1st response i would get is there are already a gazzilion questions on this and why dont i go to the dev section and read thru the threads there i find my answer, well ive done that and there are so many conflicting views its hard to get a grasp of how good the roms are vs whether the users are using their phones or not.
im currently on the sprint jb leak, and eh it isint that great, it lags, and the best battery ive gotten out of it is 9 hrs, and it also loses battery when idle (wtf?)
thanks i appreciate ur help.
and if ur getting great battery life please tell me rom and kernel combo you are currently using as well as any tweaks.
thanks guys

Alright. There are sooo many ways you can extend your battery life. But really if your looking for the best rom/kernel, you would really have to read the threads of the specific rom. Really, the only way to find this out if to try new roms or find another person that has tested every single rom (highly unlikely as you might know) and go forth from there. There is always adjusting your voltage if your extreme.

good day.
Was wanting to see what kernel/ROM combo everyone else likes in regards to battery life, speed and stability on the S3 (i747) for AT&T. I have done my NAND back up and have the device rooted but not sure which ROM to go with... almost kind of tired of CM lol... I have that on my GT3113 tablet and have ran several different roms on that device and have often times gone back to minimalized stock roms with next or agni kernels. Thanks for your inputs!

Try them all out and see. Battery life is not really kernel reliant only is built of so many other factors

Hey Guys!
I have a VZW Galaxy Nexus rooted and running on CM 10.2 (Have no clue what kernel it's running). The phone is great but i'm having a lot of issues. My battery life is very very bad! I know the phone's battery already is terrible as is but mine is really bad. It's becoming more and more slugglish. I barely have any ram free.
My question is what do ya'll suggest is the best ROM, Kernel, etc for me to have on it. I know its off of preference but what i'm looking for is an increase in performance overall. There is a lot ROMs and Kernels out there but I just don't which ones are the best to use. I've thought of a lot of things but don't know what I should do. Under-volt the CPU? Change the kernel? Run a lighter ROM? Basically what ever it takes to get my phone running like most of the newer phones till my contract is over lol. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks,
Alex
