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.
What rom do you currently have on your galaxy nexus?
just got a nexus and has kang rom on it. i want to know what the best rom is
battery life and such things.
THANKS BROS
AOKP and lean kernel. Fastest and best battery life.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
AOKP and some kernel. I personally use Franco Kernel but look around and see what you like the most.
where can i find this rom? thanks for quick replies
Check the Dev section.
Goodluck!
Now with AOKP, use to be Slim. Both of them are great.
right now i think AOKP is the best. i used the official CM9 nightlies and there were pretty awesome, but still needs some features that i really need
Official CM9 Nightlies, Franco kernel.
Faster than the speed of light.

I'm using codename and just recently switched to francos 18.4 and now 18.6 kernel. I have zero complaints, the only thing I haven't gotten to work is Google plus hangout video chat but I haven't updated to the latest gapps yet. I bet I will try akop one day since it is so popular (maybe at milestone 4) but I have no reason to. Codename is killer smooth.

I was running ARHD but switched to the most recent CM9 nightly earlier this morning. CM9 is faaaaassst and so far no issues. Oh and I'm using the stock CM9 kernel.

When people say you have to try every from and find one for you, that's completely untrue for the galaxy nexus, once you try AOKP you won't change at least until MIUI is official for me

Definitely liking AOKP Milestone 3. Plenty stable for me, and adds some nice features not included with the stock ROM. Paired with GladOS 1.15 kernel. Butter smooth, ~3+ hours screen on time with the stock GSM battery.
apparently aokp is the boss rom
AOKP and lean kernel+ leantweaks

AOKP and Morfic Trinity kernel... I've been testing alot of kernel and trinity is by far the smoothest and as amazing battery life! And for those who use quadrant as reference ; I average 3700 on ondemand

How is trinity in comparison to lean?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App
Why is everyone who uses AOKP suggests other kernel? Is the kernel that comes with AOKP not good enough?

I personally got best battery life and smoothness using lean kernel after testing every other kernel. Different results for different people I guess so you'll have to try kernels out yourself and see what you find best

I've just switched to the Glados Kernel found on RootzWiki with AOKP, and it's the best combination I've tried so far I think.
Hi,
Can anyone give me feedback on the combo of liquid smooth rom 1.35 & lean kernel 3.3.0? I am looking for performance & battery life am not after heavy customization.
I am using stock 4.0.4 with Franco kernel 3.0.8 M2 and am getting about 3.5 screen on and 12 hours usage before I have to plug in.
Will the above combo give a better battery life?
Thanks
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Personally, I use LeanKernel Stables exclusively.
They've always been the most fluent and the best on battery for me.
Haven't tried Liquid in probably two months...
But the users still vouch for it.
You'll have to try and find out.
However, the rom itself shouldn't have much impact on battery...
It's primarily kernel based.
So maybe you should try flashing LeanKernel on your current set-up and see if you like it.
The killer combination , Liqsmooth customization options + apex pro + lean kernel 3.3.0 exp 4 230 is just heavenly .
I will not compare between franco and lean but somehow i always manage to flash Lean after a rom upgrade ...
Used LS with lean kernel got 4+ screen time ..... good combination (telling from my personal experience)

+ don't forget to apply the GPS fix on Liquid Smooth if your flashing the lastest 1.35.

I was looking at the CM9 Nightly with Trinity kernel or stock IMM76I with Trinity kernel (if it works together...waiting for a reply).
I literally haven't used the phone yet besides speed test and then rooting/unlocking/custom recovery so....just curious to hear opinions
Aokp rom and James bond 3.1 kernel. They will give you stability, performance and fantastic battery life.

I had read that AOKP is extremely buggy still....
I know even on the Kindle Fire it is as well.
Imnuts butternutz. Seriously. Lacks customization. But its smoothest I've come across
Not buggy at all

BAMF hands down with its stock kernal
We need a rule for 'best rom/kernel' posts. There is no such thing and there never will be.
Literally like asking, "whose the best comedian?" or "What's the best type of fruit?"
Its all subjective. Just read the description of each rom/kernel and determine which one is the best for your personal needs.
It's pretty to switch up rom/kernel combinations, especially when you first get your phone.
Try GummyNex and Franco kernel.
Also, I highly recommend you stay away from AOKP. Alot of the posts about "this phones laggy etc etc" keep coming from people who are running AOKP. Just avoid it, maybe dab in it.
CM9 is pretty good for me too with franco.
I think the best is liquid smooth and franco

Have you thought about paranoid android? I run it with james bond kernal.. its built upon cm9.. hacked nova/market.. its a tablet hybrid. That means it gives you the function of a tablet while still maintaining the aesthetics of a phone.. its really a great rom. Its in its early stages but is still one of a kind. Check it out in either the cdma or GSM section..
I posted a screen shot of it.

Stock ftw.
teach a man to fish, you feed him for life. teach a man to fastboot, and you create competency. and less threads on xda.
You should try black ice with lean kernel - great battery life, nice theme and smooth. I personally had random reboots with liquidsmooth and aokp but otherwise they were great roms.
I ran stock with Trinity kernel for a few hours then flashed Liquid 1.35 with Trinity and have been using it since. Really smooth and fast. Battery seems good thus far. Really enjoying it.
Coming from N1 as a ROM whore, so to speak, I'm sure I'll end up trying every which one.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Hey redrum! Nice seeing you here!
I'm not much for changing ROMs on this phone yet since I don't feel there aren't many worth using. I'd like something more reliable than a nightly. I think you remember I did say many times I am no fan of nightlies when I had the N1
The best combo I've tried so far is either LiquidSmooth plus Leankernel or CM9 + franco (or stock cm) kernel. I don't think AOKP is all that fast.
Right now, though, I run stock everything besides CWM. Still unlocked bootloader and rooted, though. Gosh, I miss 4EXT recovery
Ive had mine for a month now and have been running cm 9 the whole time......mainly used franco....which was great...tried glados which didnt like my phone much.....switched to trinity recently....clear winner is trinity...for me. Easily the best performer.....and battery life has been better so far

Kernels: Lean Kernel & Franco Kernels
Silky smooth Buttery Blazin' Fastness
Tons of customization

Hey, good to see you here as well!
Yeah, so far I'm highly enjoying Liquid with Trinity. I was going to run stock with Trinity but I just couldn't resist lol.
I'm hoping Max brings 4EXT Touch to the GNexus as well. I posted in his thread in the N1 section. Would love that recovery here.

Hi everyone, I should be receiving my Galaxy Nexus thursday and i<m very exited but as always, new cell = a lot to read on!! and I was just wondering if anyone could give me a heads up on whats the newest most recommended rom and kernel and other stuff like that!
Thank you very much for anwsers!
you should try Rascream rom and trinity kernel. excellent battery life,smooth and close to stock with useful tweaks.
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/rascream/?id=maguro
Try AOKP Build 37 with Franco's latest nightly kernel. AOKP offers boatloads of customization, and Franco's kernel seems to do everything right.
Is that rom for GSM never heard of that rom
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks a lot guys! do you know how much o/c can i get with both kernels?
I like stock 4.0.4 with franco's kernel.
And as for over clock, you can go up to 1344 with franco's if you wish.
He also has an over clocked GPU build, but that one can cause issues with your phone. Try and see!
paranoid android 0.9b nothing better out there no wasted space on statusbars + unique tablet look
