Best ROM/Kernel combo for battery?

Been getting horrible battery on my Sprint GNex. Currently running Paranoid Android with that kernel and still getting **** battery life. What's the best combination that is working for you all? I'm getting around 7~9 now. I used to get a whole day out of my OG Evo.

Sigh another battery thread.
Was this battery over 3G? How long? What was the display time? Need more info bud. Not just help my battery life sucks...

ROM? No idea. Kernel? Trinity

Not every ROM and Kernel combo is the best for everyone. YOU have to see which work best for YOU and YOUR usage. All these are really "hey let's all post what we're using because it's our favorite and if we're using it it MUST be the best"

CM9 SKANK/TRINITY alpha 85~4.7~1344-307=4 hrs or more screen on time and about stands still on standby. I do not allow anything to run in background (manually update when needed) and I only have apps I use on my phone. I have ran this setup for wks. Just updated to today's build.. With this kernel I've had no reboots but if u do try Trinity and have a reboot bump voltage up a hair till it quits. It will. And never have I gotten the screen time I do w Trinity w/ any other kernel. Been through the list. Also this rom, its the most dependable there is in my opinion. Scrolls like no other!! Lots of new options like status bar on bottom..much more!! Still flawless!

No it isn't "another battery thread" I wanted to see what people were getting. I don't run 3G or wifi really at all unless I'm using them. I know how to use my battery. I also know it matters for each phone. The stuff I have tried isn't giving me the results I think are possible with my phone. Obviously the stuff I am trying hasn't worked. There isn't much more info NEEDED. I asked basically what people were getting and on what combinations. Someone else's combination might do wonders for me. I'll try trinity since many people are suggesting it. I'll run it over PA for now, and see what I'm getting.

I could go on.
Then there are the battery threads which......have the exact information you're asking for: "basically what people were getting [for battery life] and on what combinations".

mr positivity :silly:
but you are right about needing more information. the more information, the better chance that we can help.

No point in digging through threads when I can find answers here.

I have the gsm gnex and i'm using AOKP build 39 with franco kernel nightly 192 and i constantly get around 3 1/2 to 4 hour screen on time. In my opinion the best combo. Experimenting with different kernels is however fun.

Ordered a GSM Galaxy Nexus...now what?

I've been looking through the forums and to be honest the amount of options are kind of overwhelming. I'm looking for a ROM/Kernel combo to give me the best/most stable battery and performance combination. I don't want all day battery at the cost of having to underclock everything and killing every sync option I have, but I want no sacrifice in performance either. What are my options? Should I play it safe and go with the new CM9 or stick with vanilla ICS and just get a different kernel?
Oh and since this is my first unlocked phone, what APN should I be using? I'll be in New England mostly on AT&T if that matters at all. And will there be anything else I need to do once I get the phone on day 1? I just wanna make sure I'm prepared and good to go from the beginning.

I'd go with either CM9 RC1 or Black Ice/Kangorade. Franco's kernels work well with these ROMs.
Easiest route, unlock the bootloader, use the GenNex toolkit to push the recovery of your choice. Flash the ROM as directed, make mama proud.

Experiment. Mix and match and find the best match for your. With Android there is a lot of customization you can do.

Stay with stock first, and feel your way around. Once you get your sea legs then you can mess around. The Gnex is 90% brick proof if you know what you're doing. Just make sure that you unlock your bootloader first before you sync your Google account because unlocking wipes data for most phones.
APN settings usually populate when you stick your sim in. No need to enter it manually

AOKP has the most features, CM9 nightlies are pretty rad, and Bigxie's Jelly Bean is super slick. For kernels I've tried them all and bought everyone's apps but I like Trinity or LeanKernel. Been using Trinity for the last month or two exclusively, super happy. The world is your oyster with Maguro.
It boils down to what do YOU like from each ROM and which one stands out as best for you obviously. The great thing is just to try them all out. Lots are real good IMO. Don't forget to purchase Titanium Backup :beer:

I was previously using AOKP ROM + Franco Kernel (latest milestone releases). I recently switched to Bigxie's JB ROM and I'm planning to try it out for a few days.
I would suggest to just try and experiment with the combination of custom ROMs and kernels. Each custom ROM and kernel provides different experiences.

Thanks guys, I've done some flashing before back with my Evo I just left for a while when almost no ICS Rom was stable enough to be a daily driver. I'm looking mainly for advantages between Cyan vs AOKP vs anybody else out there really. Like who they're mainly for and whatnot. I appreciate the feedback tho.

whats the BEST ROM?

just got the Nexus 4g for verizon and want to know which ROMs are the best with battery and performance wise. thanks!!

stock.

i really dont like stock ROM, im looking towards a custom ROM

There isn't s best ROM. Choose one that you like. Otherwise stay on stock
Sent From My Toro+ via RED Tapatalk

there are at least 5 threads a day saying "what is the best rom"
there are no best roms since every phone is different. technically, stock is the best rom because it works.
to sum it up, GO TRY ALL THE ROMS!

It's generally not a good idea to ask questions such as "what is the best ROM?" or "what is the best kernel?". It's just the same as asking "what is the best food?"
Everyone has their definition on "the best". For me, I'm using Paranoid Android because it offers something that most ROMs don't.
A more valid question would be, "what's your favorite ROM?" or "what ROM are you using?"
Do I sound like a condescending prick? Oh, God, I sound like a condescending prick.

There is no best ROM. They're all the best depending on who you ask and what that individuals personal taste dictates.
Edit: I see I was too slow in replying.

If not stock.. codenameandroid 3.1.0

stock is best, otherwise just try and form your own opinions, dont rely on others to choose for you.

They all suck, buy an iPhone instead.

Best rom

Best rom. You find this phrase in every thread. I just don't like these types of comments. They are simply lies. The best rom is the one you like and you don't need to say loud.
Just say Thanks to the devs.

At least with the gnex people have lots of ROMs to argue uselessly about. Many phones only have the ROM they came with, and don't even get CWM to back it up with. One of the many reasons I'm glad to own a gnex.

Sooooooooooo.....whats your favorite Rom?

pointless threads. You find these threads in every forum. I just don't like these types of threads. They are simply pointless. The best thread is the one that actually communicates something and you don't need to make threads like this.
Just ignore the best rom comments.

lol I'd take that challenge, I've got blackbean flashed with trinity and I am loving it, plus I've got one of those insane pulley arm working out things like Stallone had installed in his 18 wheeler on perhaps the greatest movie ever made "Over the Top"

The best rom is the one thats not built yet.. Everyone is diff with diff tastes,, So you will get a million diff answers to that question.. stock rom is nice. or BAMF or paranoid etc.. just try them all and find one that fits you..

best/most reliable/most updated kernel

So I've noticed there are a ton of kernels out there for the GN, and I know you can't exactly say which is best...but I'm looking for the one that has the most support or is the most stable right now. I just got mine a couple days ago, so I'm looking to root and ROM it (no stranger to android or rooting/ROMing) and I figured those in the community would be able to tell me which ones are basically dead and which ones are not.
Thanks in advance!

There is no best they are all reliable and all updated. Pick one or stay stock.

Haha well that's a first. Most of my previous devices had only 1 or 2 main kernels that were constantly kept up to date, and the others were just attempts to make one, or ones that went defunct.

mods can we start issuing bans for these threads?

Trinity and Franco have a lot of users and their threads are very active - should be able to sort out any issues you might have. Also both kernel devs are pretty active in the threads as well. And both have choices of extremely stable builds as well as experimental ones for the more adventurous. Try out each for a week or so and you'll get a good idea. There are others too, obviously, like Lean and Air Kernel etc but I've spent the most time with the afore mentioned so I can't speak for the others. I'm currently on Trinity 1536/384-stable35 and I can honestly say its been going wonderfully well.

id rather have mods ban posts like yours. stop reading these threads and responding in them. you are just making it worse for everyone, not the tread starters. this IS why we have a general section and Q&A. xda search is not reliable enough anyways. imagine how many posts could have been saved by you not responding/not responding in this way. if your going to respond, at least be helpful to the op.
@jdcnosse my preference is for trinity, but both trinity and franco kernel are good, and they are both constantly getting updated. but i suggest you try as many as you can so that you can find one that your device likes the best.

Really? This isn't posted anywhere near dev section. Let people give their advice on kernels and ROMs. No big deal. People trolling is what I dislike. I've reported you to the moderators for being disrespectful.
Let's keeps these posts non argumentive and let's keep them informative. I see no issue with them.

+1 on experimentation. If I were to give MY choice. It would be Trinity. I have stuck with it since I got my phone. I've tried a few, but I enjoy Trinity the best. Franco, as stated before, is another good choice. I've used both their kernels on my Nexus S with good results
