been on it since day 1 both are released cause everyone told me they are the best. when i'm playing games or music, it lags. i click the power screen on button and it stays black until i click it like 5x and wait 30 seconds. battery life is terrible, i get like 3 hours under constant screen on usage which is ridic because i can't even leave the house without it dying
need a new combo
you suck. AOKP and Franco are the best....along with CM team
I just jumped back on AOKP + Franco after trying a ton of different combo's (CM9, Liquid, MIUI, Stock | Leankernel, GladOs, Faux) and this is by far the smoothest + most customize able setup you can have. Try backing everything up and doing a clean restore.
rascream rom + trinity kernel.. cant go wrong with this combo.
Try Slim ICS which comes with Lean Kernel. Just change the launcher if you don't like zeam.
Paranoid Android is a good rom also fn to play around with the dpi settings.
Personally I haven't had the troubles you had with AOKP and Franco. They run fine, I just get bored with roms after a few weeks. Perhaps your problems stem from apps you have installed. Have you tried running CPU spy or better battery stats to see what might be causing your troubles?
If it sucks so bad, make your own

I'm bamf/jamesbond and like it, but only have stock to compare to.
Was planning on giving a few more roms a try soon though.

Eh, it's just a trolly kind of day on XDA today.
I just got my GN the other night and first thing I did was put on the AOKP/Franco combination and I really like it. I was a very heavy user on my first day yesterday setting the phone up and all, plus it was the first full day after a nights charge.
I got home after work and I had 30% left after 13 hours. That makes me a happy camper. It can only get better from there as I slow down my usage.

It takes a couple days for the battery to get in a rhythm as well, mine significantly improved over a span of 3 days or so.

Doesn't look like you have anything positive to say either...... so "Gtfo trolls" would kinda be directed towards you as well.
Slim ICS has been REEALLY good for me, but then again every phone is different. I like Slim, Gummy, and Android Revolution HD. Give one of those a try.
Another thing you might want to check is which profile you have under setcpu or in the ROM options. If you have it set to hotplug (where one core is shut down when the phone goes to sleep) then that could cause the "wake up" issue.

It helped my Friday along nicely!
Also, OP, I am not fond of Liquid but have heard of a lot of great things about it.
I've had AOKP MS5 & Franco's MS3 for the past couple weeks and I get 3 and a half hours+ screen on time and 24 hours on one charge. Not sure what you're problem is but that combo for me has been the best. Just updated to AOKP 37 btw.

I just got my nexus this past week and I'm wondering if I should root. I'm coming from an Optimus V where it was a necessity to root. Are there any roms and kernels that can help save battery life?

Of course . I can't live without root. But its really preference.

The better question is why should you not root?

Don't bother rooting.
use the nexus toolbox to unlock and flash a custom recovery, then create a backup in recovery.
Flash aokp b37 and franco nightly 166 kernel, and you'll be amazed at how much smoother, how much better the battery life is, and how much more customizable your phone is.

Anything that is based on 4.0.4, even stock. I don't find custom kernels to make a big difference in saving battery (my opinion).. as concerning whether u should root or not, it depends on what u want to do with ur phone and whether u're satisfied or not with stock. Users' needs and expectations differ, so don't let anyone make that decision for u.

Here is my opinion: Why would anyone buy an Android phone if you don't root it? I hate Apple as a company but even I admit that the iPhone is a great piece of technology that inspired all the Android phones. If you don't want to root your device, just return it and get an iPhone.
If you want bloatware gone (yes GN has it too), more customization, better battery life, and snappier phone, go ahead and root and customize. I did it manually, YMMV. I use AOKP and Franco's kernel.
I just ran into a problem when rooting. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed clockworkmod and then pulled the battery to reboot but it didn't wipe the phone so I'm not sure what to do
PS: Sorry for not putting this in the Q&A section but I just realized.

mate, u have to run a few full cycles of the battery to make an objective analysis, u couldn't have done that in the first 2 days u got the phone
I see no reason not to root. Yes it comes down to personal preference but clearly the OP has experience rooting so it shouldn't be that difficult, especially given that this phone was made to be rooted.
Personally, I'm rooted but barely use it for much. Mostly for free tethering and Root Explorer. I just like knowing I can do whatever I want, when I want and I can't possibly screw up my device...for the most part.

I had root with my infuse, but also use my handset to collect work mail.. They just pushed a policy through the GOOD application that fails compliance if the phone is rooted.
Does anyone have _experience_ with removing root temporarily?

No. That app will do EXACTLY what he is looking for. Don't let the name fool you. It is not just an app to let you keep root during an OTA update -- it allows you to temporarily "unroot" your build.

They all drain pretty quickly
I think it's less about the right rom/kernel and more about using something like juicedefender or go power management from the play store. They help automatically switch stuff on and off that eats battery quickly.

In my experience definitely not true. At work I have a hit and miss signal. If I leave 3g active the battery drains really fast while the phone is sleeping. Like 10% in an hour sometimes. Turning on juice defender which for me is just disabling data while the screen is off. The battery will not move in the same amount of time. Maybe 1% will be gone.
I believe it is because the phone keeps trying to grab a signal in the weak areas.
Whatever it is there is for sure a huge difference. I have tested many times. Can hardly get through the day sometimes if I leave data on.
The thing I hate about it is a lot of the time the phone takes forever to reconnect so I have to wait every time I wake it.
i use my phone a lot for web, music, calls, messaging, social app, and the best kernel i used and put in my rom (but for maguro) is Trinity Kernel 1344 cpu / 384 gpu Stable35. i advice this kernel . for the rom a stock rooted, busyboxed, deodexed, zipaligned and with useful build.prop tweak for battery life. this has been my philosophy for my rom and i'm very satisfied

My VZW GN is losing an insane amount of battery overnight, 30-35%, on wifi. I checked for rogue apps and out of control background syncs but all appears to be in order. I've had the phone since January and have always run it stock due to my work needs. I now use a different device for work and am ready to return to my rooting and rom'ing ways. While I know all the other advantages of going the superuser way I'm mostly concerned with slowing doing my out of the control battery. I'm currently running the latest VZW ota (4.1.1) and that's pretty much when my battery woes began.
So....am I going to find better battery life ditching the stock kernel, flashing older radios, etc? Or is wishful thinking to think that I can significantly improve battery life? Thanks for any input.

I was asking do custom kernels make a big difference all things remaining equal. I provided a screen shot above, I do this a lot and the drainage info varies but the drain remains nonetheless.

Custom kernels can make difference. Try looking for a kernel that is meant for good battery life.

Thanks, I get much better signal at work and the drain remains. I realize that bad signal will drain battery. I was hesitant to post a screenie because my question wasn't geared to what's the problem per se, I was asking do custom kernels and or different radio combos make a difference all things remaining equal. I realize that part of fixing the problem is understanding the cause but I was trying to decide if tinkering is worth the battery investment.

The only way to find what is best for you is to Flash and try it. No two users will experiance the same battery life (Typically) because we all use our phones differently, have our phones set up differently, Great thing about a rooted phone is that you can flash as many roms as you choose till you find a happy fit for yourself. So please take a second to look around, Might find something you like.
Now i'm off to bury this fuzzy critter...

If you leave it alone and turn off sync, turn off data, turn off gps, turn off anything at all that runs in the background, delete Facebook app if you use it. Your phone will probably last a couple of days on a full charge. With full phone functionality.
