Hi!
This is my first post on the xda Forums; I've just been a lurker for a while now. I am still learning the ins/outs of Smartphone modifications/rooting/roms etc, so forgive my noobyness.
I've recently (two days ago) Rooted my Rogers S3, and Flashed Paranoid Android 2.55 Onto it. I'm loving it! However The battery life is something I'm not too keen on, so I've been lurking google for hours upon hours, forums etc, and I'm seeing that a popular Kernal people are using to cut down on battery drainage + Smoothen things up, is LeanKernal.
+
Now, I've poked around quite a bit, and I've read through something like 75+ pages of this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845836
But just for the sake of not Bricking my phone / Digging a hole I'm not educated enough to get myself out of; I'd like to ask:
Is LeanKernal what I am looking for/compatible with, my P.A flashed Rogers S3?
Or any other tips for me?
Much appreciated!
Lean kernel is compatible with AOSP ROMs. The developer should have a clearly-marked download link.
That being said - if you can't find the answer you're looking for by yourself, don't flash it. It's very easy to brick a device by making one small mistake.

Lean kernel is designed for aosp ROMs but the new ones are based on a different Linux version. If you install paranoid android 2.55 with the newest lean kernel it will never boot. You need to either find am older lean kernel or flash the newest paranoidandroid.

I read people were using lean kernel 1.6 for paranoid android. I'm more than willing to try another compatible kernel if anyone has suggestions for a smooth one that can help with battery life extension

All the kernels get updated frequently. I'm using the Paranoidandroid 3.15beta and Tasks latest Underwear kernel and it's working fantastic.
Battery life if device, app and user specific so you'll have to just experiment.

Don't apologize. We all start somewhere. When I get off work I'll look into which lean kernel you can use. Give ktoonz a couple charge cycles to see how it's working before you start tweaking any of the performance settings.

Hello,
I am using T989D Telus Version. Though I am not using it on Telus and using it on Rogers tower. Currently on CM10 experimental, which is not that stable. Any one else have luck with using this version on Jelly Bean . I am currently suffering SOD a lot. So can you please let me know which version is very stable ?
Tried aokp? You can try changing governors to help your sod issue. Refer to the aokp thread

No I have not. Is it stable ?
People wrote about SOD on the page too
Honestly, it's a hit or miss, mine is completely stable..so are some others. While others aren't. Don't know what the difference is but I'm starting to think that the devices are different in the inside. Maybe different manufacturers on certain parts? Who knows. So just try it out. The rr and sod is clearly present, so if that happens try another Rom

Try AOKP JB by TheLastSidekick Oct. 9 build. It is super stable for me. No bugs, SODs, RRs, etc. You could also try Dougshells AOKP ROM because AOKP by TLS is based off of it so it should be as stable as it.

To be honest, I dont mind even ICS but stable and bloat free

To avoid/minimize SOD's and RR's, don't forget to set governor to interactive and scheduler to deadline.
I've had the S2X since it came out. I'm running Dougshell's 10/10 build and haven't experienced a single SOD or RR. This is the first AOKP jb build I've used that doesn't have those issues. Solid daily driver.

Did you use TWRP as your recovery? if so, how did you load it on your phone? Ive tried doing it from GooManager but it wont work.
Also, should i go with the Stable AOKP ROM or is the nightly a better choice? the last stable was all the way back in July.

Any kernel for aosp ROM. Unless your ROM is based off the leak job. But if I checked correctly baked is aosp. So you can flash kt747, faux123 kernel, cm10 kernel and the other one I don't remember.
You will have to try them to see which works better on your phone. Not all phones are the same.

Thank you for posting a reply so fast. I'm really digging this site. I was on an iphone 4 jailbroken before I bought my gf a gs3. once I saw what it could do I got one right away. Now that I'm getting into this rooting thing it's starting to make a whole lot of sense, how it all comes together, everyone working together to figure things out.
Thanks again
Also, if I'm running ktoonsez's d2att jb 10.3.2012c am I already using kt747? Seems like I would be. I only asked about "sammy" kernel because ktoonsez posted about it working better.

"It comes with the stock d2att kernel, I found out earlier while we were getting things debugged that my Sammy one works too and gets better battery life the my AOSP one. Last night, I had it idle with everything on including gps, and lost NOT even 1 % "
I am using Cm10. I heard it was very stable but I do not know much more about the different ROMs. I'm a neeewbie!

The CM10 nightlies are usually a little buggy. And I heard bluetooth doesn't work too often. I usually switch between CM10 and AOKP roms. Using LiquidSmooth right now just to try something different.

You don't have to wipe data if its the same rom, but I use Titanium Backup when switching to different roms.
Rom: LiquidSmooth RC9
Kernel: KT747
so far so good.
What jelly bean rom are you using? And why?
I am using cm10 stable and love it and the reason why is that I'm a newbie it is the one pour stock android I can get on my Samsung galaxy s3. I think my next phone will be the google nexus 5 when ever that comes out or a new galaxy nexus.
I'm using the latest cm10 nightly and it has some glitches here and there but it's solid for most part.
I'm using Serenity. It's a port of JB from the Galaxy Note II.
Why this one and not something else? I wanted to keep the Touchwiz feel for a while longer and I've used Serenity ROMs in the past on a different device.
Using CM10. Bass over bluetooth doesn't work so I dropped back to an older build. Even the older ones still work fine. Running leankernel. Couldn't be happier with my phone!

You did install the kernel, you just didnt know it. The kernel gets installed with the ROM. But you can flash a different kernel at some other point if you want to. I generally find the stock kernels work well for me

I'm running BlackBean with LeanKernel all apps inverted along with inverted JB 4.2 keyboard. Why? I used BlackBean on my old Nexus S, inverted stuff saves a ton of battery life on our SAMOLED screens, the combo is overall damn smooth and the kernel also helps to save that battery life while maintaining buttery smoothness. Couldn't be happier.
LiquidSmooth RC9 with leankernel. Seems to be working pretty good so far. A couple of complaints here and there (had an issue with phone crashing every time I received a call, some minor annoyances with music playback) but for the most part it's very speedy and stable.

Thank you. Have you tried this kernel yet? In your opinion is this the best kernel for CM9 and our device or are you using JB like most of everyone else?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
no offense, but it takes about 30 seconds to flash a kernel. Why don't you try a few and see which one works the best for you? Everyone's experience is going to be slightly different.
I flashed two different kernels before picking one, and after that I added some init.d scripts afterward that improved battery life over the stock kernel settings.

I would rather have stability than bleeding-edge any day! Contrary to my claim for the need of stability, I am going to give MIUI a shot. I tried it out when I had my G2x but there were some bugs that made that rom unusable as a dd for me. Hopefully my experience with MIUI will be much more pleasant with the S2!!
I'll flash the kernel later and see what happens. Even though I'll be giving MIUI a test run.... I always end up going back to Cyanogenmod. Always!

When I was running MIUI my only problem was not being able to shut off the capacitive lights. I had no problems with bootloops or anything of that sort.
I get bootloops and/or camera crashes with the latest JB MIUI and horrible call quality on my end with the last ICS based MIUI. It's odd that the call quality is fixed with the JB MIUI and busted in ICS, should be the other way around lol.

I have tried, BMC, Lean And KT747. I am going to recommend KT747 as my personal favorite. It has been by far the smoothest kernel to date I have seen. It has both TW and AOSP versions.
Should you choose to go with KT747, follow the guide linked in my signature to get best configuration for the Gaming you fo.
