Hello XDA forum,
I am new here, and I was wondering..
I have rarity ROM v3.9.7,
the rom is amazing but I am unsure of the kernel I should be using.
What I want from the kerenl: Battery life is the most importent part, but also smoothness and stability.
I saw 2 options but I am unable to decice:
1: Siyah V 2.2 beta 9 kernel
2: Speedmod K2-18-test 3
I do not want to OC or mess around with voltages, I just want a good kernel for daily uses with good battery life.
Any suggestions?
Speedmod is working fine with me.
Good battery life , smoothness and stability
What version are you using?

use speedmod..download the latest version and do not touch anything and you should be fine..just flash like normal mate
hello i have the same question
i flash speedmod kernel with cwm but i have problem with cwm (without full fonctions )?
Any other suggestions?
As Post 4 said, Speed Mod it should be.
Now it all depends on you. If you want a kernel with UV/UC potential with a lot of Governors then go for Siyah, but if you are like me, who loves simple things, then Speed Mod should be the one.
K2-18 is still under observation by Hardcore, as well as K2-17. The last fixed release is K2-16. Now you choose which one you want.
Regards.
Thank you for your answer,
I want the version which is most stable, reliable, and long lasting battery there is.
I tested both siyah and speedmod .i think the best is siyah kernel with sensation rom by crysis the battery life is more than excelent

SpeedMod - for battery improvement
Syiah - for phone performance
correct me if i'm wrong

Corrected siyah for flexibility lot of options totally customizable.
If correctly done better battery life than speedmod or in another way awesome performance.
SpeedMod no nonsense install forget. Good battery life and rock stable.

Exactly. There is no better combination for me.

I'm currently using Siyahkernel 2.2beta9 (later does have launcher-lag Q.Q for me) with the lulzactive guvernor. I've tried a lot of different kernels and I find this one to be the best considering perfomance, smoothness and batterylife. I've used the kernel to greatly undervolt both my CPU and GPU with great stability. I do recommend this one.
EDIT: Using the 14th beta and it's awesome! (ment undervolt before, not underclock!)
I'm currently using Siyah 2.1 with SavagedZen governer. Battery life is excellent and performance not bad either - more than suitable for my needs.
As other posters have suggested, Speedmod is a great 'flash and forget' kernel with good battery life and performance - very balanced. I'd give it a go if you don't want to mess about with undervolting or governers
By the way, your posted this question in the wrong forum this is SGS2 Accessories forum...
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.
Hey there!
I've been reading for a long time in this forum- mostly about increasing battery life!
I always thought my battery life is average but today I just have to share my battery stats with you and ask for advice- many people getting 3-4h screen on time, I roughly get 2h!!
I'm using xylon 011 custom rom with latest franco kernel (r344). Baseband is XXLH1 with corresponding RIL. I'm using no live wallpaper and just hd widgets (syncing weather every hour) and google play music widget. I have two mail accounts syncing every 3h, facebook off and maps no location service what so ever! I also uninstalled lightflow! Gps always disabled, wifi on as much as possible- rest of the time 3G.
Brightness on auto-default values!
Thanks for your help!
Check these battery stats!!

Bump- is it possible that I have to buy a new battery after one year?
Last franco's nightly(r344) as some problems,including huge idle battery drain. The only thing you can do is downgrade to r342 or change kernel or patiently wait for a fix. Me too using r344,in 5 hours my battery was expired! I'm waiting for a fix
Regards
Try using 007 kernel. I found I want to be the most effective for battery life

Thanks for this input but I recently bought franco's app for just too much to just switch kernels now ^^
I hope it is really the kernel that is the problem! This drain is so annoying- reverting to r342 now, posting back!
I have Franco's app too but I don't like the newer revisions and I really like the 007 kernel performance and battery life. Worth a shot no harm done

Faux123 kernel is by far the best and everyone neglects it. Try the mainline smartreflex version and use his app to tweak it for even better battery life.
Thanks I hope franco will fix the drain soon! If not I'll try 007 or so!

Zen is by far the smoothest and most battery friendly kernel I have tried in my Toroplus. With every other kernel, the battery drain graph would drop like a stone - it merely dips in small increments with Zen v14.1 (screen is on throughout the duration of the attached graph).

If it boosts performance does it also decrease battery life? Thanks
To be honest its not even proven 100% that it even increases performance. If you Google it you can find a lot of back and forth on the topic.
I personally call placebo on most performance mods..

Depends on which ROM you are?Aosp or tw..
1:Thor kernel-smooth-fast-best battery aosp or tw
2:neak kernal good all rounder for two roms
3:devil can duel boot and is blazing fast with OK battery
Check your ROM op to see if he/she suggested different kernal
This is in my experience with kernels...
