Hey xda developers!
So guys i was really taken in by the ElementalX kernel and all the hard work that put into that project. I am in need of a rooted rom that is based on Android Kit Kat (4.4+).
Now i have tried putting the ElementalX kernel on Cyanogenmod 11 (nightly build 4.4.2) on my Nexus 7 2013 32GB wifi only model FLO build KRT16S but the kernel made the ROM for the most part unstable. After flashing the elementalX kernel on CM11 (wiped dalvik/cache) i would get this ugly blue color and blocks on black and pink on my N7 screen and then 3-4 minutes Cyanogenmod 11 would boot up. Now i can tell the kernel took because all of my icons changed color and i checked the kernel in settings
However, after flashing the ElementalX kernel on CM11 it was very very laggy. I have tried for the most part all options...
I tried low settings high settings, and all stock options which all ended in the same result -> laggy.
Okay so if Cyanogenmod 11 is not a good candidate for ElementalX (most likely was my fault but moving on) can one of you great guys or gals please let me know what KitKat based ROM you are using with your ElementalX kernel?
Requirements for ROM:
very simple...
has to be pre-rooted
has to be Kit Kat based
I really appreciate any input or advice you can offer me...
Also what settings are you using for your Nexus 7 with your ElementalX ROM?...
Maybe its just how i am setting up my kernel but i did try almost every option for Cyanogenmod 11 which is why i want to try and start testing other Kit Kat Based Roms.
Thank you all so much for your time and your assistance...

CleanROM is a very good ROM to try before trying any others. It does not have a ton of features, actually very few, but it is fast and stable.
A lot of people run CR with ElementalX. (I do). It's the kernel that the CR dev recommends.
I also like Sinless ROM which has lots more options. But if this is your first custom ROM start with CLeanROM. The people in the CR Thread are very helpful if when you have questions.
Hi guys
I have this galaxy w which I had the stock rom with gingerbread.
I was searching for a custom rom for the phone and saw that there were cm9 cm10 and cm11.
I installed the new cm11 by arco68 but I'm having problems with the battery with greenify already installed.
During the night when I was asleep in 3 hours used 10% of my battery.
I'm new in roms and android development, so can anyone help me and tell me the differences between each cm version?
Any version is more lighter with the battery?
What can I do improve the battery use?
Thanks in advance
Try CM9

Apparently Google claimed that 4.4 KitKat is designed for low-end phones. So use CM11
Smack that Thanks button if I helped!
XDAing from a N7105 powered by Illusion ROM.
Sent from a small country called Singapore.
P.S. Time for school, not much time for XDA
for me its cm9 or cm11
For me now the best battery saving ROM + kernel is CM 9 and hurtsky's kernel, it is just awesome, if you need battery then this is the right combination for you
CyanogenMod 9 + Hurtsky's Kernel.
and update Playstore Service 4.1.32

Can someone tell me which one of the CM9 Asradu posted kernels is the best for battery life? Thanks in advance!
Just wondering, since Kitkat is optimise for low RAM, does cm9 consume large amount of ram?

For me DarkCM11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618851 works pretty good. I use KhaN Kernel v1.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593327 and its runs pretty fluently + battery life is good

Im confused, I still see many reports indicating high battery drain on CM11.
btw, currently using "CM09 (EOL final) + Hurtsky's Kernel REV10" but want to know if I would have better options for extended battery performance.
thanks in advance, regards

Hi, I am new to installing ROM, I have study about 3 days and decided to apply darkCM11 with khan kernel, as you mentioned,
I installed CM11 and it worked, but The device was warm and battery drained fast, I installed it again with following tuterials and format sdcard0 this time, it get better but the main problem is to install/flash another kernel or update like khan kernel or philz touch, they are failed with status 7 ,
I tried to removed assert line from updater_script but it didn't work, It seems the os is now heavier than these works and I am confused right now,
please help me :
1- what to do first, should I install CM11 from scratch ?
2- for istalling khan kernel should I install Philz touch? and if so, what I should to do with the status 7 problem
I have installed CMR 6.0.4.5 and it works,

Hi, today I updated PAC ROM 4.3 from faust93 but then after error 7 on update process I realized it was upgraded to 4.4 then I installed TWRP 2.6 and it worked nice altough its alfa and lost functions.
The mainly problem is that the old kernel from faust93 doesnt work (original kernel has terrible governors expending a lot of battery) and I can see that on http://xep.8800.org/e957/ there is a lot of different versions from his kernel, does someone know if one of them is compatible with PAC ROM 4.4 ?
I would send it on the Pac Rom thread but xda restrictions don't let me do it and developer did not warn about upgrade to 4.4 so I dont know if he would answer
Thanks

check android development, the faust 93 kernel.
For Officials ROM use F93 kernel gproj 2.2
For Unofficials ROM use F93 kernel AOSP 0.5

Thanks
Anyone?

Do you want to install a different kernel compatible with cyanogenmod 11 because you already have cyanogenmod 11 installed in you smartphone and you're having battery problems with it? Or do you want to install a different kernel AND cyanogenmod 11 in your phone?
I'm having the same problem. After installing the CM11, I did the installation of the kernel f4ktion. The phone rebooted and after the S4 Mini logo, the screen goes black but hear the sounds, it's like running but not demonstrate anything on the screen.
My device: S4 Mini duo I9192
CM version: 11-20140711-Unofficial-serranodsdd
I9192UBUBMK4
Kernel: 3.4.0-cyanogenmod ....
*****Edit*************
Never mind it, I was with a version of CM11 outdated.
Why installing another kernel anyway? Is there any significant advantage?

As i said before since installing cyanogenmod11 my battery has been getting drained so fast the only two things i ever have running are wi-fi and mobile data, i even have a deep sleep app so when my screen is turned off it turns off all the connections, yeah it disables push notifications but it's the only way i can get a half decent battery life for over 3 hours. So i was just looking for some kernels compatible with cyanogenmod11 with the s4 mini i9195.
Thanks

I already have cyanogenmod 11, I also referred to the f4ktion 1.1.3 custom kernel but that just caused my device to run so slow and buggy, so i flashed a stock rom to get it back to the original state and then flashed cwm to install cyanogenmod 11 again, now i am back at square 1 with a poor battery life. Why can't their be a phone with the performance of a high quality samsung but the battery life of an old nokia.
Hi, I've flashed many Roms and mods but I'm still noob about kernel so I created this thread to ask some questions, I know maybe I asked too much so excuse me,
-First, where is kernel saved(system, boot,..)? Everytime I update to a newer cm13 nightly, the kernel reinstalled to CM's kernel
-Sencond, what is the benefit of changing kernel?
-First, does changing kernel save battery, I flashed FlareM on cm13 and I notice the battery drain quicklier
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English
