[Q][kernal] What's a good one?

I have stock rooted, I love the phone and didn't want to flash a ROM so soon but I was wondering, what's a good kernal thats better than stock, that increases battery while not affecting the speed negatively, I currently get about 10-12hrs on my battery as is
Search doesn't work that well for me on mobile, so sorry if previously asked although I did scan the threads but just wanted to see how you guys are doing with your current kernals

Try tdj's dark side kernel. Very smooth and great battery life. Plus you can overclock and under volt.

Thank you for the info but when you say great battery life do you mean better than stock?

i think there's only about 4-5 options out there... but each phone's hardware is different so each kernel will be different.
For example, my phone works really well with faux and darkside, but i get quite a bit of drain from eugene's kernel (yes I do configure my clock speed and voltages) people say synergy has great battery life and is smooth, however, my phone says different. it lagged more than the 3 mentioned and battery life was equivalent. There is also the bullet kernel... i haven't played with that... not sure if im missing any other kernels... but yeah i suggest giving the first three a try first as they are currently being supported.
reminder, you should let your phone go through at least 2 charges before comparing kernel's battery life etc... and with our phone.. thats 2 days lol

Pretty much any of the kernels on the first page will give you better than stock battery life. Faux, synergy and the dark side kernel are the three most popular kernels amongst Devs so that must mean something.

yes it is better than stock, most of us actually UNDERclock because these devs are amazing lol

Thank you all for the reply, I've got some experimenting to do!

To be honest, i only ran stock for a few hours. Ive been running a custom rom since day 1. But I believe it would be better then stock because TDJ has undervolted the kernel slightly.

I'm using the darkside right now and so far so good

I've tried most of the popular kernels and the best battery life I've observed has been with Synergy... hands down gives me the best standby battery life.
But what I've noticed that gives me even better battery life is just turning off mobile data when I don't need it (in class, during meetings)... which also turns off the background syncing.
But in the end, it's all up to you how crazy you want to get with your battery management.

Jelly Bean Battery Life

So obviously Jelly Bean so far has been a battery hog, I'm coming from AOKP. So what's the best kernel for battery life? Or what's the best ROM / Kernel combination? The opinions I'm looking for are from people with real world experiences, and that have tested all of the kernels available.
Thanks

leave everything stock for best battery life

IMO people think the battery life sucks because they're always on their phone. Atleast that's how I am, but however I'm on Vicious 4.1.1 V1 and I'm getting incredible battery life with the kernel that comes w/ it.

Another one of these threads.....

Jelly Bean ROM Battery life

I would post this on the actual topic, but it won't let me. Apparently I'm too new.
Anyway, I'm running GedeROM right now, and looking to upgrade to the latest Jelly Bean ROM. Link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765288
So what's the battery life like on the JB ROM? It's over clocked to 1.2Ghz which I assume would hurt the battery life a bit. Is it at least as good as the stock?
What kind of battery life for e-reading with the wifi on/off?

The battery life is not as good as the stock or even ICS [in my opinion]. But, the loss in battery life is not significant enough to stop you from migrating to JB.

unfortunately, i can't give you any numbers, but from personal experience ill tell you: go for jb. it is just awesome how they improved the handling/smoothness. i did not expect this to work that well on a "low-end" device like the kindle fire, but it surely does.

Thats interesting, I never thought about it using more battery life, thanks!

Better than ICS here. Three day standby so far.

Kernel Q's

I would like to have a kernel that will give me good performance but great battery life! What do you guys suggest and post some screenshots of your battery life with the kernel please!

theres no point in these kind of threads. read the kernel threads and general/q&a, you'll find out why.

Stock. More performance means less battery and/or stability and vice versa. Stock was already built to be the median between the three.

That's kind of the same as asking for a 400HP engine that has the fuel efficiency of 5 liter per 100 km.

great battery life impressions ...

hie guys.. this thread is not how to get great battery or something. ,.. just post the screen shots of your battery stats on roms till you have used and see who has got a great battery life either with stock roms or custom roms and kernels..
