So i've been reading up on some kernels. Specifically the ones where they seem to give good battery and stability. Overall it seems the Trinity is most stable, while Franco's is also about the same. However which of these two kernels do you feel that are more stable?
LeanKernel the best battery life and good stability.

i've been trying many kernels for my GN and i totally agreed: in my specific case AOKP+LeanKernel+LeanKernelTweaks=absolutely the best so far!

There are many opinions about this. Some like franco's, some like Trinity and some Lean.
I tested Franco and Trinity on AOKP M3 and can't catch greate differences. I think the kernerls are all good, but the differences are quite low. Its more a placebo which kernel is the best.
Here you can see battery life on GSM Nexus on AOKP and Trinity Kernel: click me!
PS: Never heard of Lean, can anyone provide a link? Search found nothing ..
franco kernel, batery, performance, stability.. the best !

Lean Kernel.
Best battery life, 4+ screen time hours every time even with all the Netflix and Music I watch and listen to.
It's a minimalistic kernel so you can probably get others which would sacrifice battery life for better performance.
Its on rootzwiki, but there's probably a reason its not here, so I won't post a link! Just Google it....IMO, trinity kernel is the best! Especially the 512 MHz gpu version! Smooth and battery life is great! But it truly depends how u use your phone, how much u put it thru. Everyone varies! The beauty of android is u have options! So go nuts and flash em all and try it out

not the best battery life for me
Franco by far. Best overall battery life, refinement and performance.
TRINITY no doubt. I tested Franco, Lean, Fugu over weeks. Apart from Benchmark all showed worse value than Trinity. Most imortant for me is battery live. I am on push exchange for 24 hours, permanent 3G and GPS, automatic update and WiFi roughly 2-3 hours per day. Besides of that approximately 30-45 calls everyday and 85% roming.
Bettry shows in the evening 40%+. Scaling Governor recently changed from OnDemand to HotPlug. Idle Min CPU 350MHz and Max CPU set t 1200MHz.
Warmly recomend to taste.
I have to say, I've flashed a lot if custom kernels in my Android days. Right now, I'm really loving this kernel by Faux123.

The kernel that comes with AOKP suits me fine. Tried Franco for a while but seems like battery drained faster..
I have been using Manhatten IC ROM since I got my Nexus, using Lean Kernel. Has been working fine for me. But I've installed Francos and bought the Franco Kernel Updater. Using FrancoTurtle governor and raised the CPU to allow 1200Mhz, I am amazed. Battery life is great, the phone is snappy and responsive all round.
Can recommend Francos Kernel.
Franco Kernel 13.1 is so far the pinnacle of the Franco Kernel development. I'd recommend it over the later versions where there have been instabilities galore and decreases in performance/battery life. I've tried many kernels(Trinity and Lean are also good) but always end up returning to 13.1!
Regards.
Well thanks for the reply guys! At the moment I'm testing glados, waiting for Franco's 18 tonight. It looks to me its between Franco and lean kernel

I was going to write the exact same thing. I recently switched from Franco to Lean Kernel and am noticing significant battery improvements. Any idea why the latest editions of Franco seem to provide worse battery life?
James Bond 007. I've gotten all the performance that I've had w/ Franco's and an extra two hours of on screen time with heavy network use.

i thought i was the only one who thought this. but yeah, nothing comes close to franco 13.1.
Just interested. I want a kernel that has good battery life, I have tried franco & cmtuna. I think cmtuna has better battery life than franco, but what do you use.
I use popcorn-kernel and it works very well. Glados and Trinity are great, too.

+1 with Glados kernel
But,to the op...this is a recurring question...Get as many answers as there are different kernel+all the different settings (CPU freq,GPU freq,undervolt,hotplug,etc...)+the rom used+your personnal settings (sync,brightness,widgets,wifi,etc...)+your use...
For me it's impossible to give an answer like that "what's the best kernel"...It depends on to many factors...
Testing other kernel for at least 4/5 days with your usage and see...Take time also to read the feedbacks of the different kernel topics and the changelogs,sometimes it's useful.
A kernel it's not like a full rom,not necessary to do a full wipe each time and loose your settings,etc...So you can flash a kernel easily each 4/5 days and see wich is the best for you,no?
Someone will say xxx kernel is the best for me and after another will say oh no poor battery life with the xxx kernel,same for all other kernel...What do you do?
There is not the kernel alone,which depends of battery life...and that's for sure.
This is a very subjective question, as the answers ...Nothing is known of your usage,your rom, etc. ...You have tested Francisco and ch33kybutt's kernel...and...Battery life is bad,not great,ch33kybutt's kernel better than xxx...And...???
what do you mean by "I want a kernel that has good battery life"...First check your settings for you like I said above,your usage and see...
And guys said good battery life with xxx kernel...just like that, just for a post or...
I have the best battery life with the awesomeincredibleamazinggreat kernel...,I'm happy with 2 hours deep sleep and 5 mins screen-on...awesome...It corresponds to my use and what I hoped!Great great!
Voilà...It depends on how you use your phone and how is for you a good battery life...
I'm using morfic's Trinity kernel. It's the fastest kernel I've tried and battery-life is great, even though the GPU-overclock.

I'm going to go against the grain and say I haven't noticed a significant difference between the kernels. Undervolting doesn't even do much, the processor drain is insignificant compared to the screen.

Is there anyway I can download the stock kernel that came with 4.0.4? This is incase I want to go back, (now running stock rom again)
I'm using the Franco kernel. With the stock kernel I was getting stuttering audio playback when disk I/O was going on. The Franco kernel has some I/O scheduling optimizations that fixed the issue for me.

I have only tried stock, glados, and Franco. Glados would heat up my phone at times, and franco does it less and better battery performance .

I use Franco's kernel. There were some issues with the last couple of nightly builds but they seem to be resolved (at least for me) in the lastest 166. Get his app from the Playstore for ease of configuration.
I use the CMplus, he works with no problems CM9.
Before CMplus, I preferred the Lean Kernel, but CMplus is at the moment my favorit.

i find franco has best blend of battery life and speed
Trinity.
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?

Thanks. You use it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
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

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.

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

Hey there!
I've been reading for a long time in this forum- mostly about increasing battery life!
I always thought my battery life is average but today I just have to share my battery stats with you and ask for advice- many people getting 3-4h screen on time, I roughly get 2h!!
I'm using xylon 011 custom rom with latest franco kernel (r344). Baseband is XXLH1 with corresponding RIL. I'm using no live wallpaper and just hd widgets (syncing weather every hour) and google play music widget. I have two mail accounts syncing every 3h, facebook off and maps no location service what so ever! I also uninstalled lightflow! Gps always disabled, wifi on as much as possible- rest of the time 3G.
Brightness on auto-default values!
Thanks for your help!
Check these battery stats!!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Bump- is it possible that I have to buy a new battery after one year?
Last franco's nightly(r344) as some problems,including huge idle battery drain. The only thing you can do is downgrade to r342 or change kernel or patiently wait for a fix. Me too using r344,in 5 hours my battery was expired! I'm waiting for a fix
Regards

Thanks for this input but I recently bought franco's app for just too much to just switch kernels now ^^
I hope it is really the kernel that is the problem! This drain is so annoying- reverting to r342 now, posting back!
I have Franco's app too but I don't like the newer revisions and I really like the 007 kernel performance and battery life. Worth a shot no harm done
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Faux123 kernel is by far the best and everyone neglects it. Try the mainline smartreflex version and use his app to tweak it for even better battery life.
Thanks I hope franco will fix the drain soon! If not I'll try 007 or so!

Zen is by far the smoothest and most battery friendly kernel I have tried in my Toroplus. With every other kernel, the battery drain graph would drop like a stone - it merely dips in small increments with Zen v14.1 (screen is on throughout the duration of the attached graph).

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.

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.

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.

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
