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?

Try franco.Kernel

Thanks. You use it?

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
HTH

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

I have the latest 4.0.4 update from vzw. I flashed it along with the radio. I was just wondering a sweet kernel that will improve the experience. Thought? Tips? Thanks in advance.

should try franco kernel with stock. Gave me around 3-4h screen on and didn't drain battery life when the phone was in sleep.

+1 for Franco. I get 4.5-5.5 hours of screen on time on a daily basis.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP+Franco
Try Franco.Kernel
I'm getting 4:30 to 5 hrs screen-on time with Franco Kernel Milestone 4
It's the best
Imoseyon's lean kernel on rootzwiki has been the best for me. I set it to interactivex, for best performance and battery life.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Pretty subjective topic. You can really use any kernel with similar results.
"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."
I flashes Franco but got the whole music not playing bug so I'm using the imoseyon or whatever that is..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I vote for Franco's kernel also.
I also recommend downloading his app from Play, as it supports his efforts and makes flashing the nightly builds easier than it already is.

I've never seen that in the thread.
Franco kernel or GLaDOS kernel.
Trinity Kernel has been my favorite so far.

I was just wondering if I should stick with the stock kernel that comes with task and ktoonez ROM or switch to ktoonez's kernel for even more butter/battery life?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
I'm not entirely sure if using ktoonez kernel will give you better battery life but you can overclock his kernel which could make things a bit smoother. You can also undervolt his kernel too which is a nice feature.

You should really advise someone that doesn't know to try both and see which one better suites the device in particular. All devices are not created equally and they all react differently to different kernels. While you may get better battery life with that kernel I do not. And so on and so on down the line.
Thanks guys. I have it flashed and I am giving it time to settle and see how it does...

+1 I also get better battery on stock aokp kernel. And on KT kernel I can't get voltage control to stick all of the time and my phone bugs out from min being at 192.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
I have typically had very good luck with my battery usage, and when I dont I can usually track the source and fix it, however, I am really battling with 4 hour battery life lately. Can anyone suggest a good kernel for this, or maybe some trouble tips.
Thanks in advance.
I'm using the faux kernel it came with and my battery life has been fine. What kernel are you using?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Honestly, tried many kernels, such as Trinity, Popcorn, Franco and Faux, but I gotta say, battery life doesn't change too much. What you can do to improve it though, is to undervolt it. Or underclock it if you're ok with that. I also recommend you to use SetCPU to set profiles.
Try Jame Bond kernel.

Just looking for feedback on both. Thanks

Personally I prefer Kt747 kernel. First of the big up with KT747 is the KTweaker app that comes with it that allows you to OC your phone to 2106 MHz and makes it easier to undervolt, plus, it has a lock frequencies option the lock down frequencies so apps can not change them. The other big up is the ktoonservative CPU governor that comes with it that really improves battery life. You can also backup your preference to your sdcard so if you try new voltage and it gets too unstable you can easily go back to your most stable settings.
That being said both are really good kernel the best way to find out is to flash them and try them, then you can choose which one you'll keep.
I hope that helps
Ktoon's kernel seems to be updated more often than faux. I haven't tried faux's kernel though.
I also use KToons kernel. The KTweaker app is awesome. I wouldn't use anything right now in my opinion.
Ktoonz is awesome but I use fauxes when I Play games
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
If you're into underclocking and tweaking with your governor, go ktoonsez. For the light user, I've found much better battery life on faux's kernel, as it performs quite well in deep sleep. Just my 2c.

This is very true. Faux might have just moved on tbh.. But with that said it could be final as is unless new firmware gets released then he will change.

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.

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.

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
