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 !

+1 for leankernal. Great battery life.

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.
Which kernel do you think gives you the best battery life on your CDMA Gnex?
Please post the kernel/ROM you are using as well. Thanks!
I've tried all and I'm gonna have to say lean kernal does the best for me

I have tried all too and I find there is virtually no difference when I'm using either AOKP, Black Ice or DroidTh3ory's roms (yes I know they are all essentially the same!). My favorites are IMO's and Franco's kernels due to their smoothness and color options.
Leankernel for sure.
Lean kernel

Kenerl Options As Well?
For those suggesting what kernel they think is best, would it be good to include what options you have configured that lead you to the battery savings?
+1 for leankernel, but certainly not v2.5.0 from March. 4.2.0 instead.
Air kernel has literally doubled my battery life compared to all other kernels on jb. With it I get the battery life is was with ics. 1200 max 234 min smartass2 governor sio scheduler

I've been using the latest James Bond kernel for 4.1.1 and get around 3 hours of screen time and haven't really got to test the full standby time. I was at 22 hours of standby this morning with 77% battery left. I have my CPU set at 1.2ghz with the interactive governor and have been using the cfq scheduler (default setup). I think I'm going to give that air kernel a go and see if I can get better performance.

I recently flashed AOKP with Franco's kernel and my battery life dropped significantly. Before I was running MoDaCo 4.0.4 and it was really good, now its borderline unacceptable. Which ROMs are the best for battery life?

Rascream sandwich rom + trinity Fw3 kernel in my personal experience.
Now im testing slim + og's 3.1 pure kernel....n its getting similar performance in battery life

Personally up till a couple of days ago I was running stock 4.0.4 with Franco's Kernel AND his Kernel Updater app. He has this mod called HotPlug that turns off a CPU when the screen's off, very cool.
However with IMM76I I'm getting similar battery life stock, unrooted. I got better battery life with 4.0.4 and Franco's than AOKP and Franco's.
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.
opinion
i find franco has best blend of battery life and speed
Trinity.
Is there a current ROM that is rock stable and offers good battery life? I don't mind if its JB or ICS but battery life is really important
Actually roms do not affect battery life, the responsable of battery dains is the kernel, in my experience I have tried only stock ics (rom and kernel) and battery life was decent, then I switched to miui with air kernel and with this kernel I have the best battery life for my use. You have to try different kernes and its setup because every user has different tasks to do with the phone.

Kernel is probably the cause of the battery drain, not ROM

try whichever you want:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
as mentioned above
im very happy with franco's kernel ...you should try it...its stable and gives a great battery life
plus the all the cool options
IMO the best ROM isn't listed on this website. It is CodeNameAndroid. I know it is a ROM full of controversy and I don't care. It is by far the best one I have tried (I have tried almost every ROM), no others even come close. I am running it with the Trinity Kernel v35.
AOKP for ICS or ParanoidAndroid/CM10 for JB
