if you're looking for performance, then you're looking for a kernel not a rom probably. try out different kernels(or even ROMs), find the one that you and your device likes the best. there is no one right answer for what is the best kernel or ROM. i prefer the trinity kernel with the rasbean jelly ROM.

Kernel and ROM Mix/Match

Can you just mix and match a kernel with a custom ROM? Or how do I know if they are compatible, without nandroid+trial+error.
I was using stock/rooted jellybean ROM + franco kernel. I just flashed AOKP which includes it's own kernel (tuna-faux), but want to go back to franco.
Thanks for the help. I did try searching but did not find this information.
as long as the kernel supports the android version (4.0.4 or 4.1.1, etc) of the rom you are on, you're fine.

And are they backwards compatible? Can I use a 4.1.1 kernel with a 4.0.4 ROM?
Thanks for the reply!

No, you can't. Stay on the same version.

Trial and error I'm afraid. I had AOKP and flashed Franco on top and it broke a couple minor things, like Settings - Storage would FC every time with this combination. So I assumed there is a reason AOKP came with tuna-faux, it was tested on it and made for it.
aokp and cyanogen come with a kernel for their code, i think you can't flash other kernel

Hello everyone, I just moved from Motorola atrix to this incredible device,rooted it and unlocked the boot loader and now I need a good ROM.I tried the BuglessBeast and now i'm on AOKP .
Can someone suggest me a good ROM for it's performance and stability (stock look if it's possible) and a good kernel for it? I'm not asking for "the best ROM", I would just like some suggestions from you.
pure android 4.2

is there a 4.2 rom that i can overclock and undervolt my phone?
i have the verizon nexus and installed the pure android 4.2 rom. it runs great. but i cant overclock it and one of my friends has a aokp rom i believe that is still 4.1 but he can overclock it to like 1.6 or so. i would love to know if there is a clean stock-ish rom that doesnt have any fancy launcher or anything that i could overclock to beat him but still have 4.2. any help is great but if there isnt one its no prob.

If all your research tells you that the rom controls oc, then it's not for you, stay away from it for now.

using dax fnv aosp and its the shiz... and stock 4.2 was fast for me
You can use stock 4.2 ,just flash a custom kernel which is what actually allows the over clocking. Franco kernel is good. Then download a CPU control app from the play store.

The pacman ROM is pretty decent, you should go with a 4.1.X ROM because Google did an ehh job with 4.2 test away though, some ROMs are much different than they look
Sparx639
Isn't the pacman ROM in alpha stage?? That means it's not stable :-/

AR HD rom webpage is down and i can't download it,can someone give me something else?:-/
Minco ROM. Pure AOSP with franco kernel. Im also new to GN but I like this one quite much
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I'm running CodenameAndroids 3.6 rom, and I haven't found one I like better yet. Tons of customization options. Love the navigation bar options and options to add and change swipe up shortcuts. I'm running Franco's kernel too, but haven't tried oc'ing. Not much of a gamer, so I don't feel the need.
What kind of franco's kernel? I mean experimental or stable? Any kind of oc?(cpu and gpu)
I'm running Milestone 6 stable. I'm pretty sure u can OC but to what IDK.
Now im using BuglessBeast and franco's stable kernel...i don't know if i'm crazy but some games are still laggy:-/ like Dungeon Hunter 3. What's the probleeem ?!?
I am in a similar position and didn't want to start another thread.
I am getting a used GNex tonight...
My start point is a Nexus S with CM10 nightlies and the Marmite kernel. Having Used CM7, CM9 and CM10 on 2 different devices, my temptation is to go for CM10 again. I am not a heavy user and don't play games on a phone, but the most important think to me is battery life (with smoothness a close second of course)..
Can someone please recommend me a battery saving kernel with CM10?
Or another good ROM / kernel combo?
TIA.
Sorry - I realise that I just killed a panda
Can anybody tell me if faux's kernels are OK?

I want to do the same thing
I want my stock ROM but with a kernel that provides good battery life and also want to root for some applications to work
But I am relatively new to nexus
Can you please provide me any link for this because I haven't found any thread which is just about changing kernel
All of them gives you guidelines about flashing kernel with custom recovery

[Q] How do I check if a Kernal is compatible with the ROM im using?

Hi, I have been searching the forum but there isnt a definite answer. So far I gather that not every kernal is compatible with every ROM.
I am running PACMAN V22.11 [link]
And want to try Franco.Kernel [link]
Franco's thread only mentions Android OS version. And nothing regarding roms (searhced that thread for pacman as well)
Is it compatible with PACMAN? Can I go ahead and flash my first kernal? (excited :fingers-crossed: )
Bonus | Whilst we are at it, I wouldnt mind anyone side mentioning proven kernals for battery improvement. Or best performance/battery kernals they have used
-Galaxy Nexus Gsm (maguro)
Bump
Guys, is franco kernal compatible with all roms based on android 4.2.2 for galaxy nexus?
Thats it. Please?

That's because usually only OS version, not ROM, matters for kernel compatibility.

Almost all Roms are good )
try
Android Revolution HD 18.0
Omega v17
Edit just tried HaWKiSH™EXTREME SERIE and i am loving it
NOTHING IS BEST
You cant ask what's best!
Its all about your need,
Every dev do their best to develop Mod/ROM
But you cant judge it in Rating or Something
Its best for you if it gives you what you really want
Like when i had an SII i needed to overclock + Dualboot my SII
Siyah kernel was best option for me, but if someone only needs over clocking or only dualbooting any other kernel can do his task that kernel would be best for him.. So please be specific about your Question/Request
Thanks

Kernel Advice?

I am looking for the most popular kernels currently being used.
I'm hoping for something extremely stable, crazy battery life, and as universal as possible.
I'm not looking for tweaks for the most part. I don't see the need (for me at least) for over/under clocking, over/under volting, etc. I just need a good strong/stable kernel with good battery life so i know what ROMs will work best with the kernel of my choosing.
Thanks guys.
current phone specs are as follows:
Android 4.1.2
Baseband: L710VPBMB1
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-944783 -- [email protected]#1
Build Number: Wicked Sensations v3.1 MB1
Hardware: L710.14
TWRP Recovery -- installed today

Just go try the kernels... Asking questions like this is dumb, especially when there are no more than 5 kernels for our device, just go try them and see which works best for you
“It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power."” ― David Brin
Yes, there are only a few. Make sure to use the proper kernel for your ROM, be it a Touchwiz (TW) ROM or an AOSP type ROM (all non-TW ROMs). With that there are even less than Flastnoles11 mentioned. And they are all the best and stable for those using them as you can see by reading the kernel threads. So try each out for a day or two and see which works best for you. Plenty of help in the kernel threads as well as for governor and scheduler settings.
