I am a fairly new xda user, but not too new about flashing and using tweaks.
I created Thread to share what I use and why and might help others as well.
Beforehand, My priority in a rom and kernel is smoothness and battery life. I'm a light gamer(kairosoft lol)
Rom: CM9RC2 Pristine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576874
Kernel: Forfivo V3 (SmartAssV2, SIO, 192/368 - 1024/1209)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855557
Tweaks and mods: Seeder, Geeky Engine, Disable CPU Rendering.

The battery life is great. But still experimenting around. Its like 4-5% in 2 hours with internet connection(not wifi).
Smoothness is awesome.
Please share your device settings too! Cheers! :victory:

Hello there, we meet again. Haha! I was roaming around and I've finally sticked with CM9RC2, since it's already in its release state and much more stable compared to CM!0. The function works and everything seems to be running smoothly- YES IT FINALLY WORKS after I went pristine. Hahaa. I'm quite happy with my phone right now. WAYYY faster and much more reliable.
ROM : Indroid REMICS v6

why ?
i believe CM has been tweaked by arco so i don't need to tweak some more

hadi! I was wondering, I tried your kernel once... twice... Wasn't sure if there was too much tweaks in my phone or whatever the problem might be, when I used 1.2, my phone goes into sleep state when I locked device, and when I wake it, it took quite a few seconds for the device screen to show up... Actually I'm a mass kernel flasher so I'd really wanna try your kernel too. Is your lulzactive 245-1024MHz settings battery friendly?

ERM... Actually, no. PMR has some very very nice tweaks and mods that just reduces lag.[Not significantly but quite nice]
*[Smooth]|[Powerful]|[WONDERFUL]*
ROM: SlimBean 3.1.0 by camcory
Kernel: forfivo's v2 (smartassv2 - sio - 245MHz/1401MHz)
Tweaks/Mods: JellyBOOM V2, Seeders APK, Disable CPU Rendering, Disable Surface Dithering
For the ROM, I prefer SlimBean because of its size, with JellyBOOM, Seeders and forfivo's maybe it only takes 80-90 MB's compared to any other ROM. So for a stable, slow connection (around 20-30kB/s) it's fairly fast enough to download.
About the kernel and the tweaks/mods: try it yourself.

I used SlimBean once, the fluidity is actually better than Arco's CM10 by default. But I'm not sure if its my device or any other reasons, it consumes battery quite quickly when I underclock it. Nothing much to be said about forfivo's kernel. Been loving it since ICS v1.

Certain Tweaks when used together tends to clash and gives negative effect.
And if those apps you installed will run on background it tends to get laggy.
I use only Seeders and Disable CPU rendering.
I use forfivo's kernel because hadi's version have problem running on my device.
Until hadi fix the bigmem bug on external sd. I'd stick to forfivo.

BTW, Seeder had just received a fine-tuning by yours truly
I'm amazed myself at the amount of improvement.
-- Sent from a GT-I8150 running ICS perfectly well. F'U, Sams#!t --
Due to some requests via PM´s I decided to make my kernel finally public, but remember:
This kernel is a personal kernel for my private use, so it´s only containing the tweaks I´m also really using
It´s the older 2.6.35 kernel basing on latest 2.6.35 sources from Arco, so only use it with Arcos CM9 RC2 or RC3 or a custom ROM with 2.6.35 kernel
This kernel is not filled with a lot of governors and schedulers, but only the ones I´m also personally using.
I have made this kernel because non of the custom kernels worked stable for me in the past, even at stock voltages. With this kernel I´m able to run at extreme Undervolting rock solid.
So this kernel was created with stability and battery life in mind. Each modification was tested separately, so everytime I added a tweak or a new feature, I tested the new kernel for a couple of days before adding the next one.
So why I decided to tweak this older kernel rather than going with 3.x kernel?
- Because this kernel is giving me a much better battery life than the 3.x kernel, is running rock solid and also because I don´t really need the new features added into 3.x kernel.
So what it has included:
- UV and OC options
- lowered WiFi voltage
- lowered lcd voltage
- slightly lowered standby / deepsleep voltage
- Battery life extender
- Fixed 100% battery notification after charger unplug
- 377MB RAM
- NO-OP scheduler as default scheduler
- Lulzactive governor as default governor
- tweaked Lulzactive for battery life and smoothness
- added 518, 633 and 902 MHz (new)
- screen off frequency set to 518 MHz max.(new)
- some more voltage tweaks
- no other compilation tweaks just to make the list longer
With this kernel and a new battery my SGW can last up to 7 days in standby. This is without WiFi and Mobile Data. With the stock kernel I got 3-5 days. It´s also working absolutely stable and smooth for me without any issues.
So if you run into some issues that are/were also discussed i the CM9 Bug report thread, don´t blame me for them.
other suggestions:
- enable KSM
- enable 16bit Dithering
- disable CPU rendering
- greenify your apps
If you follow these suggestions, your ROM should run absolutely smooth without the need for other tweaks.
To use Battery Life eXtender:
Use RootExplorer and go to: '/sys/class/misc/batterylifeextender'. Change the value in 'charging_limit' for example to 90 (default 100). This will set a limit for the capacity to which the battery will be charged. So in this example the battery will be charged to 90%.
----------------------------------------------------
After flashing the kernel whipe your cache and dalvik cache and fix permissions.
Just as a note. Should you encounter the white screen bug in some apps, this is because you whiped the cache in CWM Recovery after flashing the kernel. To fix this go into settings -> apps and delete data and cache of those specific apps.
Credits are going to:
- Arco (for his great work and sources)
- educk (for helping me doing the first steps)
- Christopher83 (for his great commits)
- ivendor (for his tweaks)
- Ezekeel (for Battery Life eXtender)
----------- 18.08.2013 -----------
- added frequencies
- incrased RAM
- lowered screen off frequency in Lulzactive
- some voltage finetunning

I have tested this before with rc2 and I have to say battery life was very significantly longer compared to hurtsky 2.5 + QAsR v2.3. However, the white screen issue persisted in 2 of the apps I used the most, namely boat browser and Gmail so I have opted out again. But if you guys don't care about white screen, do give this kernel a try
Yeah, kernel 2.6 is always better battery life... i recomended it
- screen off frequency set to 768 MHz

What mean of that ?
is we get trun off the screen it auto lock on 768Mhz ? it's not deepsleep any way CMIIW

This is the max frequency the clock might rise to if the screen is off but for example an app or a service awakes the phone from deepsleep. So it will not drain so much the battery if the phone gets awake for some reason and if you undervolt your cpu, you can reduce the consumption for such a case even more.
This is preset in the Lulzactive governor, which Christopher83 fixed to make this working, so it´s only related to this governor, which is also my default governor.
So when in screenoff the phone only maximum can use CPU clock at 768Mhz
Yeah i get it. .thx for explain it
I think arco might be able to help you fix the white screen. Long back skull kernel experienced the same and acro helped him to fix it.

Uhm, well I´m not sure this is exactly the same because Keff (Woohooo..) is modding the 3.x kernel for CM10. But thanks for the suggestion. I will aks Keff first to not to bother Arco in the first place. It will be for sure interesting what caused it for him.
Just to clarify some things about the white screen bug. The one I described in my first post is not the real white screen bug, but only what happens to some apps after whiping the cache in CWM Recovery. This can easily be fixed like described above and will not bother you anymore.
The real white screen bug came all of the sudden (without whiping anything before). So for example you opened facebook, everything was fine, but a few minutes later by relaunching facebook you got a white screen. The procedure to get rid of this was the same as I already mentioned but with the difference it happened again after a while.
So well I have had this issue with facebook too in the past, but it´s gone and now even not happening after whiping the cache in CWM Recovery. It´s not gone because I updated the rom (still using RC2), but because facebook updated their app.
Edit:
I already found what you was talking about. It´s called the white noise issue where you get a white screen by turning the screen on, so it´s not the same.

Mind you: This is battery saving rom. It is meant to have low game performance. It MUST have a lower gaming performance than those v3.0 kernels. If you want gaming, this is not for you.

Yes, this is a battery saving kernel, but why should it have low gaming performance? Just because it´s optimized for low consumption in standby and because you can undervolt it? It´s like you were comparing an older Pentium4 against an Intel Atom CPU and saying the Atom must be faster because its newer. Or by comparing a Atom against a 286 CPU and saying the 286 will be faster than the Atom because the Atom is more battery friendly.
Sure, it´s not optimized to get the highest scores in benchmarks, but the games I´m playing once in a while are running totally smooth.
The newer releases of CM9 might be of course faster in games, but not just because of the 3.x kernel, but also because Arcos ocessionaly is updating the GPU drivers.

Thank you for correcting my ignorance. :laugh: Maybe I'll give the kernel a try and tell more about that
Honeyx, I hope you continue to develop and share this kernel in the future because I decided to start everything over from scratch because of your work here. I love this kernel. I get so much better battery life now. If you would ever consider adding Lionheart in the future, I would be very grateful. Is there any way to add Row or does it require kernel 3? Thanks again!

I may add some tweaks in the future, but this may take a while till I have some spare time to test them. About adding other governors...well I tested a lot of them but finally decided to use Lulzactive because it was the most battery friendly governor in the one hand and because there is also the Lulzactive app you can use to tweak it to your needs. So for example tweak it that way it behaves like for example Lionheart. I also tested the ROW scheduler but it wasn´t as stable as I presupposed to be. So the best compromise between stability and performance was to use the noop scheduler. It´s nearly as fast as the row but way more stable.

LoL. I´m quite sure with extreme undervolting you can still save some battery juice even while playing action games on this device. Beside this it´s not the CPU or GPU that consumes most, but the display and its backlight LED´s.
it is for battery saving but for me its not good to play with games cuz playing for like 40-60 minutes consume 60% battery ? lol
thats quite alot and might burnt up my battery life.

So did you thought it will consume just as much as being in deepsleep????????? The kernel is tweaked to consume less in deepsleep and in daily use but not to consume less in games. Beside this it´s not the CPU nor the GPU that consumes most, but the backlight LEDs in your screen. So even by undervolting and underclocking it will still drain a lot if playing games.
There is no and will not be a magical Kernel that is using witchcraft to reduce the consumption of the LEDs, exept someone compiles you a kernel which turns out the LEDs completely, if you can with a complete dark screen.

Im not expecting anything from ur kernel, im glad that u shared ur kernel taht could last longer than arco's stock kernel.
I was just giving up my comments about ur kernel that i have used for 2 months , Not complaining and whining lol.
I am sorry and thanks for sharing ur kernel , keep it up. :fingers-crossed:
hello
I do not like the 4.2.2 version. speed, battery time is long, less ram usage.
rom / kernel Can you suggest?

download rassaber from eurosank and use ak kernel, you wont get any lags
try 'greenify' to hibernate unused apps this might help save some ram !
ak kernel forum link?
AK thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883298
Pretty much any ROM that is updated at least once per month (aka active developer) in combination with, my personal suggestions, either AK or Franco kernel.
So which is better than rom
current ak kernel installed the screen colors have changed.
Is it normal for this error or am I done?
It is normal. AK Kernel has own color presets by default (too cold). You can change it with Trickster Mod app.
Try the V6 supercharger script. Should improve ram usage.
My Gnex is on Purity 5.4.2 with ak 248 supercharged is buttery smooth and i have no lags.
Some of you know me from the OOS3 kernel I built, and now I am moving to Nougat and starting working on it.
It mainly majors in keeping a balance between features and stabilities, so I did not add too many features (And I think features like adding 10+ governors is a bad practice), but the features I added is of great use. Some of the features are unique in existing OP2 kernels.
I am sick of those kernels which say it is the smoother than butter or is more powersaving than Nokia 1100, and I do not think that could happen. What I provide is an average kernel with some little tweaks. If you are looking for some specific features, this is not the place for you.
The features list:
Features:
- Catch up with latest Linux upstream 3.10.107
- Catch up with latest CAF source
- Catch up with latest sdcardfs, f2fs, exfat, xpad source
- Add flash and electron governor (both based on interactive, credits to The Flash and frap129)
- Tweaked interactive governor based on CAF MSM8996 branch
- CPU voltage control (The first for MSM8994?)
- Replace H-cube with core_ctl from CAF MSM8996 branch
- Remove powersave, conservative governor
- Add maple, sio, fiops, zen I/O scheduler
- Partly Faux sound control
- Partly thermal control
- KCAL
- Dynamic Sync control
- Wakeblock toggle
- Fingerprint boost tweaks
- Sultanxda's I/O switcher
- TheCrazyLex's memory automatic compaction mechanism
- Various improvements from AOSPA (thanks to TheCrazyLex)
- Various improvements from Sultanxda and myfluxi (The people I really admire)
- Various improvements from CAF
- Fix some ROM's ramdisk bug (why should I fix these?)
- ...
Usages:
Note that LineageOS based roms and other roms use different sysfs nodes for gestures. So I provide 3 versions, just use the one that your rom is based on, otherwise gestures may be broken. For non los based Roms, use other version, if it does not work (such as Pure Nexus), use pn version.
Use kernel adiutor to tweak it.

Credits:
Fist of all, thanks to Linux upstream and CAF. Without them, doing this work is impossible.
Of course, thanks to Lord Boeffla for a good picking source.
Then I want to thank to Sultanxda and myfluxi for the 30+ commits I picked and the guidance he provided. You are the real MVP!
I also want to say thanks to dorimanx, Joe Maples and Franco for the good features they provided.
Support:
Just like many other so-called "developers" for OP2, I do not major in computer science and know little about C. All my codes are written by guessing. Feel free to provide feedbacks, though I may not know how to fix it.

That's awesome ?
thanks for kernel. have you tested undervolting? is it safe? whats basic rules to use voltage control without killing phone? never used this feature

Phone should technically reboot and discard changes before any damage occurs
Sorry if I missed it.. Is this kernel compatible with official lineage weekly?

I have tested, and think undercoating about 80mV is fine. Lower voltage will make it reboot.

Of course
r2 will be soon uploaded , thanks to @MZO for pointing out a different implementation of gestures that I missed.
First of all: nice to see a new kernel of OP2, and I love new features! Good work!
Second: Unfortunatly, flashing this kernel for me kills WiFi on latest Unofficial RR. Had to flash stock boot.img to make it work again. Other than that it seems to work fine.
Defineatly gonna give it a try as my daily driver after WiFi issue is gone.

No problems for the hardware with undervolting but the system may become a bit unstable

I have tested my kernel on omni, du, aex and pn, no issues so far. Some lineage guys also flashed and encounter no issues. But I will try to look at it.
Using this kernel for Almost 12hrs, so far everthing working here with decent battery life.
Cpu cores implementation is the same as in Franco kernel (all cores always online) or different from it?

Could you please flash boeffla kernel and report if it works? I suspect it is a toolchain issue.

Different. It is actually same as stock, just built in kernel to keep stability.

And I suppose there's no way we can use franco's implementation if we wanted to?

I don't know what Franco's implementation is. I don't care either. If you want to keep all cores on, use kernel adiutor and change the min cpus to 4.
Hello, which rom and kernel are recommendable for that time ? I want battery friendly and don't overheating so much.
Thanks,
Best Regards

Latest aosip rom with nebula v10 is the best I can do when it comes to battery and performance, you'll need kernel auditor or ex kernel manager to get 100% the best battery possible my friend.

@Dlind could you help with the setup that you've found working the best? So you are running latest AOSiP ROM and Nebula EAS kernel, so how's Nebula compared to the one which is included with the ROM? What kind of tweaks you've applied with kernel configuration apps? Anything else?

I like the kernel in the regular aosip. But what nebula has over the aosip regular kernel is, the cpu governors. I've ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS! had issues with sched/schedutil. They lag with youtube. And are biased toward power to much for my liking, but if you don't watch youtube much that's ok. But sched/schedutil also has given me the best results when multi tasking. I personally love cultivation. Its a smarter version of good old interactive. There's also options for using a slight over clock to cpu and gpu. Also with this kernel there is an adjustable throttle for when the cpu overheats it in Celsius btw. All these settings are in ex kernel manager and in kernel auditor, they both are great apps. Under cpu mic spot in the bottom turn off perfd and leave wq_power_saving on.

There are some advantages leaving perfd on. Search it on google..
