Kernel advice - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What's, in your opinion, the best stock based ICS kernel around and which are your favorite settings for either lag free and battery durability?
I'm quite "new" in the kernel world so I'm still researching for the best combinations.
Im currently with Arcknight 3.5.1 on 245/1401, smartass2 and sio and I can get around 24h with 20% remaining with normal usage. I read people saying that they can get 2/3 days so I'm curious in which settings they can get that.

Find out yourself! In the end its always the persons 'own' preferential choice.
Pro TIP: Best battery life is ASK (advanced stock kernel).

Advanced stock kernel, nuff said.
I'm using it atm, it's great even with ondemand/deadline/249 ~ 1024

Cool! I will try! Thanks for the tip!

Should i change kernels? (Bullet)

Im running juggernaut 4.1, is there any kernel thats worth replacing thr bullet kernel? Already runs pretty damn smooth, but is smoother/faster/more efficient out there for jug 4.1? Thanks for your input...

I prefer faux, just a personal preference but many say faux has better battery life and just as smooth if not more.

Where can I get the faux kernel? I don't see a thread for it and have searched the development forums.

[Q] Rom with great battery

Hi all I'm still very new to this whole rooting stuff.
I'm using aokp build 38 this is the 1st Rom I've used
And lately I'm having a much better battery life than stock. But I just want to ask if there's a much better Rom out there that has great performance and battery.
Also could you name the Roms and what are so good about them?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Everyone has a different opinion on this. There is no one rom that gives each phone good battery. Your best bet is to just try them out yourself.
Oh okay. Thanks what would you recommend?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I personally like liquid smooth ROM and Airkernel
I'd recommend the redemption Rom.
The Dev claims that he is only fixing errors created by Google.
Ans he's right. 2 hours screen time v 4 hours is the way to go.
It's also notably faster and doesn't randomly reboot to often.
He does a video changelog for his rom. Which I believe is a characteristic of a dev who is proud of his work.
But whatever you use. Use it for at least a week.
Would be good to also mention what phone model. Gsm,Verizon,sprint.
With these kind of threads, you might as well just ask what everyone's favorite ROM is or what ROM they're currently using. You'll only rarely get a different answer, and there are already threads for all three subjects to begin with.
Guy above me has a point.
But, AOKP B39 and Franco M4 works wonders for me.

AOKP has more features sacrificing some high performance.

Other than possibly in benchmarks, where's the performance difference between AOKP and CM9? I've tried both and currently run AOKP and I didn't notice any difference it performance between the two.
MCR from Paul Obrien over at Modaco. Together with the Franco kernel. Great performance and battery-life
I'm using black ice. I like the black theme

Custom ROM or Stock ROM

Hi guys
I found a lot of people's are asking about batter life on our awesome device Note 2
Even I'm confused between custom ROM or Stock ROM
let us to have your experiences with your device and your battery life with you ROM to let the people to decide
Thanks
Which one is better Custom or Stock ROM

I'm still on rooted stock rom and I'm really happy with battery life. I think its more to do with the kernel.... there's Perseus kernel which has undervolt features in the Original Android Dev forum which might be of interest to you... couple that with Rom cleaner and you're good .... good luck

You should definitely root if you want all the extra customization/tweaks that are available now. I'm on the MOAR ROM. Best one I've been on and I've tried a lot. Battery life is great with stock or Ktoonsez kernel.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013463
definitely root. I ran freegs3 v3 for a while with the ktoonz 747 kernel. I had great battery life and the kernel made it very snappy and responsive. I was also able to undervolt a LOT, however it gave me a few issues here and there once I did that. (mostly screen issues, lines while swiping in a few heavier processing apps, with a reboot on occasion).
Now I'm experimenting with freegs3 v4 which is still a beta. Definitely going to be great....but right now it still has a few minor bugs.

Best TouchWiz rom with stock kernel for best battery.

First of all I searched the forums
And if I missed something I'm am sorry for being a noob! (And stupid)
I'm not really enjoying kernels I'm not very good with UV and overclocking (not comfortable in doing so)
I'm jist curious what ROM you use (TouchWiz I need tmobile wifi calling)
Thanks and if this has been posted please inform me and ill delete. Thanks

If you need Wifi Calling, S3Rx is pretty much the only option for you. Unless you want something older.
Yes thata what I've been using looks like ill keep using this.
Any ktweaker tips if I do move to a custom kernel

My phone drains 0.2-0.3% per hour on the stock kernel (on wifi with a decent router). The TW custom kernels are not worth using, in my opinion. Now AOSP on the other hand... yikes. Pretty much have to use them.

You might want to take a look at your wake locks. If you are having that drain while the screen is off, it most likely a wake lock. Search the forums for better battery stats.

Your_rom by red is my favorite touchwiz rom. And it gives me the best battery for touchwiz. I use kinetic pulse kernel with it.

I'm running HyperDrive Rom and Ktoonsez Kernel. I have tweaked much of the cpu frequencies and used the ktoon governor. However, my battery life compared to the stock rom isn't that great.
Every phone is different so will run different on your phone. I do recommend Dandroid. It now has wifi calling. Complete based on T999. It used to be a port. It's super smooth with great battery life. And it's Cyanogenmod themed.

There are no "best" rom/kernel combinations for battery. It varies from phone to phone. You could try testing different TouchWiz roms and kernels, but remember to make a nandroid before doing so. Some roms you could try are wicked, stockorama, hyperdrive, etc. For the kernels you should use the stock kernel for stability or ktoonsez.
