What ROM+kernel combination gives you the best battery life? I understand no two devices are exactly alike but I'm looking for a direction here.
Thanks in advance.

honestly in my opinion cyanogenmod, aokp, and paranoid android are a few of the many roms that produce stable enough builds to run as daily drivers without worrying about something not working or spazzing out on you at random times. As for kernels I'm not too sure but I've heard some good things about the siyah kernel
Sorry folks, best rom threads are not allowed as best is subject to a variety of personal and performance factors that only the individual user can determine.
Try all of the wonderful products available and make your own determination.

Im still new to the tmobile gs2, had it a couple days. Had a atet gs2 before, what kernel do you guys recommend? right now im trying faux's kernel.
what are you hoping to get with a different kernel?
there are many to choose from
and they are all similar in what they offer
so unless you know exactly what you want, there's no telling which one is the one you are looking for

ok what would be the best kernel for great battery life, and also smoothness and speed. so yeah the best kernel for battery,speed nice and snappy smooth etc?
bullet, synergy and faux are the most popular ones. I personally use faux since i've historically used his for the g2x and sensation which gave me really good results. I've used bullet as well and it was pretty solid. the faux kernel is the newest of the three i've mentioned so it's not as "mature" as the other two yet. That being said, i haven't had problems with reboots.

The question you ask is really hard to answer. Phones are like people. They are picky about what they like best on them. Certain kernels that may work the best for me. May not work the best for you.

I know that, just wondering what the majority of people's opinions are on which one has the best battery life, speed, smoothness etc. Of course I want speed and smoothness, but mostly want to know which one has the best battery life.
I really appreciate everyones replies, thanks alot!!
i tried several
my fav are bullet and/or synergy
both works well with most ROM available in the DEV section

thank you! ok almost done then ill leave you alone. out of the 2 which has the best battery life?
Synergy gives me the best battery life. I found it smoother than bullet.

FAUX123 give me the smoothness of Synergy but better battery life.
hi
flashed tonnes of roms for my desire - whats the benefit of chenging the kernel??
Potential for:
Better performance
Lower power usage
General overall efficiency
kernel
cheers!
im running mildwild cm3.3 - any recomendations for kernel?
i was thinking about ""2.6.35.13-ManU-2.1-GB-HAVS-AXI-128-CFS"" ??

For CM, dGB, Redux 1.2, thats definitely what I would go for, yep. Just have a good read of the firts post or so of that thread as lots of cool information about lowering voltages and stuff....

how does one know whick kernel is suited to which ROM then? Or is it just trial and error?
For me, it's trial and error....I don't understand the jargon

There's no better benefits than experimentation and readings. Read the threads that contain valuable information and u will gain knowledge. Knowledge will be implemented to your experiments and thus u will have a better kernel combination in your disposal.
When developers come up with best ROMs I'm pretty sure they put the best kernel...do we have to still flash new kernals check permutations and combination s..its lame doubt...but id appreciate if somebody can answer..

Yes many developers do as you mentioned especially when tweaking a certain kernel to be very effecient with their ROM, but they still mention sometimes that their ROM is compatible with some other kernels. That means what the developer may have tested and found as best for that ROM could be totally different according to the usage of the user. So just try the kernel that the developer recommends and if you are not satsified then try other kernels until you are satisfied with one
I know this may not be the answer you hoped for but I have always read (and believed) that there is no best ROM and there is no best kernel, only the user can judge according to his/her needs
Your answer was apt..I ve been flashing Roms and have not really experimented with kernels yet..been extremely careful with my device ,dint really want to brick it. Thanks again..could you suggest a good kernel for P A 2.99 beta 7?

Well, I never tried that ROM because I am always using my own compiled one with Trinity Kernel
Probably if you read at that ROM thread here then you will find what others are using with it

Check this to read a nice article about kernels first
Then go to the "Development" section of your Gnex type (maguro, toro, or toroplus) and read the first post of each kernel as suggested by bk201doesntexist to choose the one that suits you
Hi I'm running AOKP task650 ROM. It is my favorite ROM and I was just wondering from peoples experiences what kernel was giving them the best battery life on this ROM. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for response by any chance do you know which one gives better battery life?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda premium
It's really going to vary from person to person. Try them out and see. Underwear is great but KT747 gives you more control through overclocking and undervolting, and more governors, etc.
Just so you know. The is no "best" kernel and no one can answer this for you. The reason being is that not all devices are created equally and these devices act different to different kernels and different settings. So for someone to tell you that you will get better battery life on either one would be a lie. You just need to play around with them and their different settings in order to find which one works best for your particular device.

I am fairly new to flashing on this device again and was wondering what you guys believe is the best, most stable, and has the least amount of bugs rom? Thanks for your help! Right now I am using XenonHD and wondering if any are better?

Try several and see what fits your needs. For the most part there are many similarities but each has their pros/cons and that depends on the user. I am also on XenonXD and I love it.
I've tried several, but keep going back to Rootbox. The only issue I've ever had with it is autofocus, but a script (with a shortcut on the homepage) really makes it a non-issue.
