Battery life is my only concern. Which is generally recommended?
Sent from my Nexus 7
Just like every other "which kernel?" or "which ROM?" thread, the correct answer is whichever works for you. Some people will always answer these with "stock". Others will always answer with whichever one they're using. Try a few, give them a few battery cycles, and see which works best for you.

Every time someone asks "What is the best ROM or Kernel?", a cute panda commits suicide. Please think of the pandas.
I can only answer for the two I have used extensively, franco & lean. There isn't a huge difference battery wise between the two imo, but lean gets me slightly better battery life.
The truth is buy a few extra chargers and a ZaggSparq cause the VZW/LTE Nexus battery sucks. I get maybe 2 hours screen on time WITH the OEM ext battery.
Jame Bond kernel has provided me with excellent battery life, I strongly recommend it.
Stock
I have a ground breaking idea. Try different ones and see which one is best for you. I personally use Trinity but have had many people tell me "that one sucks. terrible battery life" but I still use it because it works FOR ME.

Because this is for my non-flashaholic girlfriend, and I'd like to set her up with whatever has the best reputation.

Well I'm not a expert on flashing since I'm not flashaholic either, but from my experience, all the kernels that I've tried has similar battery with a little bit of tweak, such as undervolting and underclocking. I personally think that you won't need custom kernel unless you wanna overclock or do crazy stuff that stock kernel won't let you.

Then stay stock? Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

It is broken, though. Battery life is god-awful, so I was looking for a nice kernel.

For the thousandth time there is only what's best for you. No one uses their phone the same way as you nor has the same signal strength. So no one can answer that question for YOU. They can answer for themselves and that was done by trying different ROMs which you must do.

Im still new to the tmobile gs2, had it a couple days. Had a atet gs2 before, what kernel do you guys recommend? right now im trying faux's kernel.
what are you hoping to get with a different kernel?
there are many to choose from
and they are all similar in what they offer
so unless you know exactly what you want, there's no telling which one is the one you are looking for

ok what would be the best kernel for great battery life, and also smoothness and speed. so yeah the best kernel for battery,speed nice and snappy smooth etc?
bullet, synergy and faux are the most popular ones. I personally use faux since i've historically used his for the g2x and sensation which gave me really good results. I've used bullet as well and it was pretty solid. the faux kernel is the newest of the three i've mentioned so it's not as "mature" as the other two yet. That being said, i haven't had problems with reboots.

The question you ask is really hard to answer. Phones are like people. They are picky about what they like best on them. Certain kernels that may work the best for me. May not work the best for you.

I know that, just wondering what the majority of people's opinions are on which one has the best battery life, speed, smoothness etc. Of course I want speed and smoothness, but mostly want to know which one has the best battery life.
I really appreciate everyones replies, thanks alot!!
i tried several
my fav are bullet and/or synergy
both works well with most ROM available in the DEV section

Synergy gives me the best battery life. I found it smoother than bullet.

Loving AOPK! Best features, stability, speed (even on stock kernel)...
Bugless beast. Reminds me alot of enomthers n1 roms. Not alot of bells n whistles but extremely rock solid/stable and amazing battery life.
Personally not looking for endeless mods although that can be fun. I just wanted a rom that does everthing i need it to do well, and that i dont have to have the phone constantly connected to a power source.
Honestly, from the title of this thread i would assume the OP was talking about the different Galaxy phones on different providers? and not custom roms on the Galaxy Nexus? Maybe he could chime in an clarify this
Is it just me or is there one of these "what's the best" threads created daily?
good day.
hands down the best rom out there is Liquid on rootzwiki no question!!!!!! It does everything every other rom does plus more.
aokp + franco
I'm using FoxHound ROM. Good performance, nice custom features and a nice black theme...

People can't be bothered to use their intuition, or the search engine.
Okay just so everyone doesn't think i'm crazy from my post earlier.....the original thread title was ( What do you think is the best galaxy from and why?) till the OP edited it!

Long 'u' btw.
I think people missed the point of this thread. I see people asking what is the best from all the time. What I wanted to know is why people decided to choose the rom they are currently using.
Is it because you wanted a ton of features, do you want to keep to the stock experience as much as possible, etc etc.
The question was, "What do YOU think is the best rom and why?" It wasnt, "Tell me what the best rom is because I can't find out for myself?"

The best ROM out there is the one YOU want because of what features it has to offer. Go read all the ROM threads and take a look at the features, screenshots, user feedback.
You don't need a special thread for yourself for people to tell YOU what's the best ROM. There is no absolute answer to that question. It's like saying what is the best car out there? the best car is simply the one that fulfills your needs.
This goes for kernels as well and there are 50 other threads with this same question. Use the search feature and read existing threads.
Stock rom on gsm model is the best
Why? Using 2000 mAH battery, I could get 3 and a half hour screen on time with more rhan 3 days stand by. Or almost 6 hours screen on time with 2 days stand by

Totally agree
Gotta atleast try AOKP. Customization, battery life, extra features and runs smoooth. Although every phone is different you might just want to try a couple different ones and see which one is best for your phone.
Hey guys, just wondering what's a ROM/Kernel combo with the best battery life ? I'm on Stock right now and I get about 7hrs and 5 of those hours are on Standby lol. I tried Android Revolution with Trinity and got about 12 with about 6 of those hours on standby and 6 hours of very light usage. I did flash a rom the other day that gave me about 23hrs with light usage but I can't remember what it was >_<
Thanks

again?????? seriously?!!! battery life mostle depends in the kernel.
Whichever one works best on your individual phone in your unique circumstances. No one knows what will work best for you but yourself.
There's a reason mods lock the plethora of threads such as this. It's a pointledly subjective question and a waste of bandwidth.

The answer to this will be different for everybody, dependent on how you use your phone and for what. There is no universal answer. You have to find out what works best for you.
I know that's not a great answer, but it's the honest truth. I, personally, run Jellybro with Franco (on Wheatley), but that's for the mix of features, smoothness, and other factors.

Hello everyone, in a month I'm getting the s3 and after coming from a Motorola defy, I know battery life won't be as good. I see there are a ton more JB ROMs for the s3 than the defy so I would like your advice for the ROM with best battery life. Also, the defy has no custom kernels so I'm unfamiliar with how they work. Any advice?
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
I would say there isn't a good answer to your question until an OTA JB official is released. Right now are just leak based or CM/AOSP based and very few of them for t-mo are very stable. There are a few kernel mods that will give you ability to undervolt or underclock, and that is best bet at battery life.
Basically the screen and radios will eat up your battery no matter what, but with screen off in various sleep states, if you put WLAN to sleep, it can last a very long time. The best solution is to invest in a USB external battery pack probably.

Haha, I can be on my days off like these. To the OP seriously though, not all these devices are created equal unfortunately. I can UV to -75 usually across the board (even though I never see any improvement on battery really) and others can't even boot their phone on a certain kernel, cause it doesn't play well. That and some users use their phone in a different way, battery consumption comes from many different ways, so it's up to you. Almost everyone will say one of the most popular kernels, but some wont say anything cause they stay on stock.
