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.
I been using the illusion ROM with ask stars kernel and it' was running great! Awesome performance with decent battery life. 8 to 9 hours with have usage. I'm now experimenting with ktoonz and lean kernel. As well as trying different settings governors and schedulers. Of anyone has any info tips screenshots or suggestions to improve battery life without sacrificing to much performance please post and share your battery life and settings thank you.

I've read that roms with linaro are faster. Are roms that are built with the linaro toolchain actually faster? Does it have any noticeable effect, or is it just like a placebo thing?
Thanks~
I'm on a linaro based coming from a non linaro base, and I think it feels faster and smoother... Could be placebo though. I'm actually going to take the next 30 minutes to read up on it. I'll be back.
Consensus is, no it not placebo, I've yet to come across any thing that is detrimental evidnece (I don't consider most of the benchmarks to be evidence) But I read about 6 pages and all gave info on how it compilies faster and helps the CPU act and process things faster. I'm noticing a little difference, but nothing to make you, mess (poo) your self.

I'm interested to give the new illusion ROM a try since it will be based on linaro. What ROM are you on mt3g?

My bad. Good to hear good things about it. Anxiously awaiting the release. Thanks

Ya, they are waiting to make sure it is 100& the way they want it before a release. Some good stuff is in the works for sure though.

Back when I was working on aospX with existz, we used the linaro toolchain (and then migrated to his custom toolchain based on linaro, because the most recent linaro toolchain at the time was a little buggy) and it made somewhat of a difference in things like scrolling and stuff like that... But that was for gcc-4.6. I have yet to try building with the recent linaro-4.7 for aokpX as I haven't really had the time, but existz says that performance with the latest android gcc-4.7 toolchain is about on-par with the linaro one so we've been sticking with the one from aosp.
Although, I think its up to the end-user to decide if the improvements are really there. The way I see it is.. if your device feels smoother to you with a linaro-compiled build/kernel, then what anyone else thinks about the toolchain shouldn't matter.

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..

i'm using cm 10.1 and i need a kernel for that rom which giving me more performance
advice me please
According to my own experience I prefer to use neak kernel with trickster app to control the kernel. However, to get the most stable performance I usually recommend using the stock kernel that comes with the ROM.

I use for the newest PAC 4.3 with CM 10 the newest Devil Kernel. Runs up to 2000. If you looking for performance I would suggest this Kernel. With same tweaks it runs stable and I personally was impressed by the battery life. Also had running the Saber Kernel, runs up to 1800 very stable and tweak able. On the devil kernel some things are not able to tweak.
Best 4.2.2 kernel = thors kernel, no doubt. Awesome battery life and stability and very performant (21 to 22k in antutu possible if you OC)
