not an expert on custom kernels, but you can most definitely flash a custom rom to increase your phone's performance

yes, i really want to use custom rom, but there are bugs! so i prefer use stock rom with some mod
If I may, I recommend Jelly sandwhich. It's essentially almost bug-free according to posts on the thread - as for me however, I haven't encountered any bugs on version 7.3
Wouldn't hurt to try
What abt battery?

Compared to stock kernel you might experience higher performance but at a cost. It might include bugs and make the phone unstable. There could be memory leaks which mean you would have to reboot the phone very often to keep it functional, it will begin to lag after a few days of use.
The memory tunings can increase user interface performance but also often at cost of poor multitasking and higher battery drain as Android continuously in the background swaps apps in and out of memory. A general higher battery drain is also normal for many of the kernels or at least used to be half a year ago.
Stick to stock kernel unless you really need the extra performance or try to find a custom kernel with only very small modifications. Overclock and undervolt are two "safe" modifications that does not change the behavior of the kernel, that is as long as it is not overdone. The success rate of undervolt and over clock depend allot on your handset and can differ allot. Some can safely overclock to 1.8Ghz, others can hardly keep it at 1.4Ghz for the old Xperia Arc.
If you have root access, you can install "MinFreeManager" app to manually tune memory parameters, these are reset at reboot of your phone and it is safe to try different values. If you find stock ICS slow, you can increase the memory limits for Hidden, Content and Empty apps to improve user interface experience. It will be at a cost worse multitasking, and could cause higher battery drain if you have too many widgets and services installed to fit in the memory after updating the memory settings.
Thank you so.much for your information

Can anywone tell me a best rom for save battery ?
Now i have Oxygen 2.3.1 Bravo
I would think the Oxygen you're using would be one of the better one's for battery life. Don't go for Sense rom's as they'll drain your battery real quick.
Well anything oxygen based, or the gingervillan roms
Took me a week to finally get it right, but I've managed to get both speed, stability n a Schweeet batterylife
If I get the time this weekend, ill post how I did it, and all the steps from stock, out of the box, to end product

I find that the insert coin rom isn't too bad on battery life. Well version 1.1.1 isn't. not sure on the newer versions though
Most AOSP ROMS have great battery life. But much of the battery life is to do with the kernel too, so picking a good kernel is paramount.
I'd agree on the kernel bit, but also, how you have android configured in general around it can have a noticeable effect.
The right rom, kernel, and also userspace setup/configuration all adds up

Im curious guys on this battery subject?
I'm currently using aurora V3 but even before that I'm lucky to get a day out of it.
What potential increases am I looking at here?
Many thanks

There is no way to guess or add a multiplier from your rom ro another to see potential increase unfortunately. It all depends how you use the phone. If the screen is on all the time, you wont see any increase in battery life as ROMs and kernels cannot control the amount of battery a Screen uses. This is a constant.
ROMs and kernels optimise CPU so that les spower is used, therefore things that use CPU will affectively waste less power.
The only way to test / compare is to flash something else and use it the same as you do every day.

You could assume stock, then at the bottom add root only and mention kernels and set CPU, autokiller, autostarts etc etc
Rightyo, need to do shopping but will be back shortly
Might see what i can work out
AOSP roms are the best for battery of course, but if you like SenseUi, I recommend You InsertCoin 1.1.4 and kernel from -SNQ, (his kernels are better for battery from bananacakes)
Hello everyone,
I've been only using iphone for last 3 years or so and I finally decided to switch over to android after big disappoint from the iPhone 4s release. Now that I have the Galaxy Nexus sitting in front of me, I have some questions that I would like to ask.
1)What is the best Custom Rom that's out there for Galaxy Nexus?
2)Is there a way to overclock the galaxy nexus?
3)Any tips and advices for someone who switched from iOS?
Thank you.
My tip would be to unlock it now and then use stock ICS for a while.
Highly agree with this post...it is an absolutely great phone so before messing with custom ROMs play with stock for a few weeks.
Yes it can be overclocked but that will impact battery life.
Also if you're familiar with the flashing process you might want to convert to yakju to ensure prompt ota updates. I was on yakjuux for months and it wasn't pushed to me but the moment I flashed yakju it came.
Bear in mind some users including myself experienced significant lag and a few bugs on the 4.0.2 image...reverted back to 4.0.1 and will likely wait till 4.0.3

Hi there, firstly.. Welcome aboard!
I have been using Android full time, but there has always been an iphone around.
I would highly recommend Paul O'Brien over at MoDaCo as a supplier of some of the most stable and reliable Roms I have used, he currently has a 4.0.2 based rom with 4.0.3 parts and compatibility. Options in the 'kitchen' (if you sign up for the low cost Add Free membership) include overclock and undervolt kernels, the 'bake' procedure is smooth and reliable, the community as friendly and knowledgeable as here at the excellent XDA.
Enjoy the freedom and customisable nature of Android

To go with the above, unlock the bootloader before setting the phone up as unlocking WILL wipe all data. Once unlocked, you can use it as normal and be able to back it up before flashing something new
I'd go with a pure 4.0.3 rom like bigxie and pair it with franco kernel. 4.0.3 has significant performance improvements over 4.0.1/4.0.2.
I'm unlocked and rooted.. waiting for official CM9 release, only then will i flash a new kernel along with the ROM.. but stock ISC is still new enough and really nice welcome to the community!

For overclocking you first have to have a kernel that supports it which I think ARHD does but you also have to download an app, the best is set CPU which is free to xda users just google it and then in setcpu you just move the sliders to the desired clock speed, but be aware some phones can't handle higher clock speeds and will randomly shut off, if this happens the turn the speed down and also higher clock means more performance which means larger battery drain

So the other day I installed an unofficial version of cm9 on my Evo. As many of you know, cm comes with options to over clock out of the box. Sadly, with the stock kernel you can only go so far. I found a new kernel online, and flashed it onto my phone, only to find out it ruined the rom, forcing me to reflash cm9. I was wondering if there are any kernels that I can install to overclock my phone further? Pics included

atyoung's Mason ICS kernel should work...
May I ask why you have the desire to.overclock so violently? Most the time, underclocking will even show no loss In performance and save battery. All times I have overclocked, I've never noticed a major difference.. it may be slight but not enough for me to care..
why is your min/max the same?
The rom I downloaded is a little laggy, just wishing to speed things up a bit.

One more thing.. pegging your CPU at max ghz will eventually destroy your device. The EVO is made with a single core 1 GHz snapdragon and so anything really over 1GHz will really put a strain on your processor. Best advice would be to either flash a new kernel, ROM, or find some tweaks to decrease lag. 1.2GHz isn't healthy for your phone...
Well, I've tried a tons of ROMs of ICS and JB. A couple weeks ago I tested a GB one, and like it too much, cause there's an excellent battery drain and performance is just perfect, no lag, never. Including with games like Modern Warfare 4, Dead Trigger (with full textures and not overclocked with conservative governor in noop), etc.
The thing here is that GB doesn't support a couple of apps that are only available on ICS+, and I'm thinking onto changing my ROM.
What ROM you recommend? You know, overall speed, great gaming, and a great battery life.
Thanks.
Read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097137. All roms are good depends on ur choice and preferences. So I think there is no recommendation from my side coz it depends on you what to chose. And its absolutely common sense that u have to sacrifice battery life if u want performance. And please dont make threads for such topics. As its against xda rules.

Xperia Pureness / Ice Cream Pureness (with installed service pack 1) ROM together with KTG Anzu kernel gives you both battery and performance. And also the best custom UI ever on the Arc / Arc S!

That.
+ There is no ICS ROM, that would have performance and battery usage of GB. It just isn't possible.
I'm going back to stock rom, I've been having some problems with some ROMs (Gin2JB and AuroraPlay). The gaming performance is powerful, 7600 on Antutu, but it's so unstable , all my games keep crashing. I believe this is because of Adreno booster so if you know how to remove that, that would also help.
I've heard some people getting the best performance with the stock ROM and a couple good tweaks, so can anyone recommend any that are reliable and stable? Any reply would be appreciated, thanks.
Dude look no further my Rom I'd what u need, no adrenoboistr + full performance, , try it ( link in my signature)

Been on nxt l.e. always seemed to have lag and other issues. Switched to three or four others and wasn't happy with performance. Read up on TLRtheory and how he always has buttery smooth performance on stock rom/kernel. Switched this last weekend to the latest ftf .80 I think. Stock rom and lupus kernel. I must say holy crapsnacks. So much better performance on debloated stock rom. I get between 39-44fps in MC4. Also switch from go launcher to smart launcher pro. All in all so much happier. Please don't take this the wrong way. I am super appreciative of all the devs who have taken the time to make their own custom roms. And for that a big thank you bit I can't deny how bloan away I was in debloated stock rom.

Pizza_dox I would like to try out your rom some time. Maybe this weekend I will take it for a spin. I see you have made some addons. Any suggestions for best performance on your custom rom?
Sent from my R800at using xda premium
Yea just use my Rom as it is with mo other mods or tweaks that claim to make the phone perform better and before playing a game run into turbo mode:
Open terminal
"su"
Then
"turbo"
It will tell u in the console what it does to the device
Also If u wanna know why I chose this method:
I was sick of terrible boot up times + bad battery with other Roms so instead I made my Rom very stock like and all I added was sone tweaks and when u go into turbo the phone gets optimized,
It's unique cus u have like 2 Roms In 1
To get out of turbo mode just reboot!
