im running a stock rooted rom. ive tried pretty much all of the roms available but not really impressed by many of them. i like my stock rom and was wondering what the best kernel was to flash to over and underclock. ive seen a lot about kettle corn but seems a lot of reviews complain about the battery being drained because of this kernel. so any suggestions?

I know its a personal preference but this is my first flashing of a rom and I did all my homework and am ready to go, now I just need to find out what is the best SenseUI rom and kernel to flash. I would like the best battery life possible as I only get about 5-6 hours with moderate to heavy use. I am running the stock rom with one of toasts kernels. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in Advance!

It seems to be a hit or miss. Some kernels/ROMs work better for others and crappy for the rest.
netarchy's Kernels work well for me. I'm using the CFS beta kernel right now. If you are confused as to what CFS and BFS are, there are a few places that tell you what it is. Basically CFS is consistent but not as fast, BFS can be faster but it can also lag at times ie: inconsistent.
I personally flash the rooted 3.30 Deodexed ROM and then head over the Themes forum and tweak the UI to make it look different.
Also if you are going to be doing a LOT of testing, I would highly recommend that you flash the 4 in 1 Reboot Menu

There are also optimized ROMs out there that are good for some users and bad for others. Check out Ava's Froyo v10 ROM.
My suggestion: once you find a good working ROM + Kernel combo for battery life. STICK WITH IT lol. I made that mistake many times.
And don't forget to NANDROID back up ALWAYS.
I realize the advice is to try these out for myself to see which is better for ME, but I was just wondering if I could get some input on other's experiences for BEST BATTERY LIFE and performance/stability on sense roms. In fact mine is just the stock sense rom and I've just been switching our kernels to test them out, and so far, these 2 have been teh front runners for me and I can't seem to decide which to use.
I'm looking for a bit of advice. I'm an og droid owner but just picked up a Dinc for my fiance so I'm fairly new to anything related to the Dinc. I've been reading like crazy trying to figure out which kernel to go with. Her battery life is horrendous so I'm hoping a different kernel will help. I rooted her phone last night but she wants me to keep it stock.
My question is: which kernels work with a stock Dinc? Are the two you mention here, okay to flash onto a stock Dinc? Also, doesn't Lou #8 leave out multi-touch?
FWIW, Chad's Incredikernal has been the best one for me. A LOT of people like Lou's though, so it really is dependent upon YOUR phone. If you can't tell the difference, then it really doesn't matter.
Sbenson, try loading up SetCPU and underclock the phone a little. Also, you can set up profiles to reduce usage when screen is off, etc. Yes, both of those should work okay on a stock DI - actually most will work okay as long as the kernal is specifically for a Sense ROM.
Good luck!
Hey guys,
I've really been hesitant to root my GN and flash a custom rom, but I really miss being able to tweak the colors just like I used to do with my Nexus S.
I was decided on not flashing a custom rom on my GN because I want to keep it as stable as possible (bad experiences with my Nexus S).
I'm wondering if any of these custom roms are stable enough that I wouldn't notice a difference between stock and a custom rom.
I'm really happy with stock, but I would love to be able to tweak the colors, and right now I'm really confused as to how I can make the experience better while keeping it as stable as stock is (no random reboots, freezes, crashes).
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thank you.
I've tried a few, some buggy and some not so buggy, but the one that I have had ZERO problems with has been:

Revolution HD
It is VERY close to stock, just cleaned up...and I get great battery life as well.
AOKP Milestone 2 + Franco Kernel
You're on a GSM variant. Shouldn't have to worry about battery life as much since CDMA uses a lot more battery.
If u are going to the trouble of rooting and installing a custom rom. I would recommend u at least go w a 4.0.3 rom.
While I'm sure revolution is a nice and stable rom, its only running 4.0.2. 4.0.3 brings quite a few performance improvements.
I use bigxie's 4.0.3 rom along w Franco's kernel. Nice, stable, and great battery life along w great speed.
Hi guys, I've recently been playing around with my phone and I have been wondering
What your favorite kernels are. Right now I've been using the kt747 and I really like it. However I haven't really
Seen any other popular kernels for my att Samsung gs3. Btw I'm running cm10 witch is truly amazing.
KT747 is my kernel of choice. Battery life is spectacular, especially for on screen time. Tasks Underwear kernel is packaged with his AOKP ROM and it is stellar as well. Lean kernel is supposed to be a minimalistic kernel and therefore apt for battery life.
Your best bet is to flash a few, give them a few days to settle and see what works best for your needs.
ive tried variety of roms on my sm p600, from debloated stock LP to full stock rom then debloated myself, then to CM13 then recently couple of the CM14
dont get me wrong the unofficial AOSP/CM roms were awesome but they have little bugs and glitches here and there not found in the stock roms, completely understandable and expected and the teams did a fantastic job, however they also have much worse off battery life and gets hot, much hotter than stock firmware if you use it for prolong period, but the speed and smoothness is unbeatable, whereas stock firmware is just rock solid, little could go wrong and things just work as you expect.
is anyone else tired of switching roms back and forth(and im thankful we have so many choices!), i just want something i can stay for sometime without full wiping every so often and im sure many of you share the same sentiment, i am thinking of switching back to stock, debloat it to hell and then just put on the Prime Kernel and leave it til it dies or whatever, the note 2014 had a very good run with me and should still have lots of life left.
does anyone have combination of roms and tweaks thats got a combination of the advantages of both stock and custom roms?
