Which is the best kernel in terms of battery life for the nexus one froyo. I've been using pershoots kernel, which are really great, but the battery life is poor. I need a kernel which gives great battery life or should I just use the stock.
I'm a big Pershoot fan, but you could also check out Intersect Raven's AVS kernels or Wildmonks overclocked version of IR's kernels. All three of these can be found on the first page of the Android Development thread.
It's easy to try them all out and then decide for yourself what is best for you in the tradeoff between speed, stability and battery life.

I was curious about which rom gives the best battery life. i have used Cyanogen Rc3 and Rodriguez's rom and both of them drain my battery life more then stock. i was wondering if there was a rom that improved the life of my N1
Test Enomther's, he's the closest to stock. You can use wildmonks' UV kernel for extra effect.
hmm. to the best of u guys knowledge, can i hear from u guy which combinations (roms, kernel, modem) is the best for batt life?
i had tried the wiping of batt stats, but the result is almost the same. my galaxy s can hardly last for a day with normal usage (facebook, few mins of games, texts)
kinda disappointed the batt life of galaxy s. lol
Overall Darky rom tend to have low battery life, drain, etc. I tried first with Hardcore's kernel, then Voodoo, which was even worse. The idle drain was not that bad, but when I used the phone... 2min/1%!!! That was mad.
So I put back the old and reliable doc rom with speedmod, and although it's not that smooth, the battery life is pretty powerful!
(no lagfix)
would be kinda easier if you did a POLL here which kernel to use for good battery life.
I am on stock JPY 2.2.1 + speedmod and my SGS battery almost doubled.
Ive heard the Damian's kernel with undervolting is very good for battery life
ok polls are up.
Do let me know if i missed out any good roms / kernels combinations, as I gathered them based on popularity.
and also if possible, share yur opinion on the performance of the roms / kernels that u are using. thks =D
more polls pls!
It all depends upon the way you use it. I prefer Stock Kernel for battery life.
Jve gingerbread modem has made the biggest improvement in battery life for me
Stock JPY, Insanity SpeedMod OC-1200Mhz/UV, ext4, JVE gingerbread Modem,
Which kernels are you guys using, specifically with THS build 15? Is there noticable difference in day to day applications by flashing one of these kernels? What benefits do they offer (responsiveness)?
Also, how does overclocking effect the phones battery life, and heat output? I would assume a 300mhz overclock would produce a significant amount of heat and drain battery much quicker.
Can somebody bring me up to speed
Cheers
i heard that DEVIL 14.2 is good with cm9 build 15...... and yeah...of course.....overclocking will drain your battery muck quicker.... but u can under-volt to save battery life though undervolting stability depends on your kernel. for overclocking and undervolting glitch is better ( as far as i observed ) but personally i like devil kernel.

Thanks for the response! While I'm an avid PC overclocker, I don't have to worry about battery life there , I think I will keep my 1000mhz and battery duration where it is. I'll likely try the Devil's kernel just waiting on a couple more responses
hi everybody. i've tried both kernel named in the title but, being a noob, i can't decide which one is better. can you expalin me which is more convenient to use and why it is? thanks alot
it depend on ur need, for me abyssnote.
i prefer also abbys kernel but the best solution would be to test kernels by yourself ;D
After trying both, Franco kernel, for me, is the best, no lag, smooth, good performance and great battery life.
the new franco kernel 6 in my opinion runs very smoothly. I slept through the night (7hrs) and my phone's battery didn't lose even 1% (I use Juice Defender to put my phone in flight+silent mode during the night).
I found both of the kernels very well, however I am testing out Abyss 4.0 as it has the ability for overclocking and undervolting which the Franco-kernel not yet supports. Prior I ran Franco v. 2, 4 and 6 which all were good with a better battery life than my previous Abyss-kernels (probably due to lower frequency used).
Franco is the way to go for me. It's stable, fast, and very easy on your battery. No overclocking or undervolting, though. If you are into these, chose Abyss.
Both of them are good kernel.
Been changing those kernels back and forth between new releases.
So far, I'm on Abyss.
Depends on your needs. OC go for Abyss, No OC go for Franco. Both of them have great battery life.
just tried abyssnote v4.0 final with TW recovery by koush, awesome recovery, thanks Angelom.
How do I enter recovery mode on the SGH-I717 Note? I dont have a home button I can press but instead the touch. I cant get it to reboot in recovery mode.
Try volume up and down buttons (same time) and the power..
Franco #2 is a clear winner for me in CF and Franco #2 in terms of battery life...
+1 franco v6 kernel coming from speedmod.
+1 Franco v6 with RocketRom v22. Loving it so far

I also prefer Abyss if you need/want OC
I tried all note.kernels and none of the.kernel up par with Franco. Not evem close
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Franco 7 with Darkyrom 3.3. Amazing on battery life for me.
Franco's kernel no question. He is known for is fast, great battery life kernels check the nexus s and galaxy nexus. His kernels are awesome.
So what is your average battery life with the Franco kernel? I have the Abyss 4.1 right now, and it loses around 2-3% overnight and definitely can last around 1 and a half day with minimal usage.
Neither... I'm using FM kernel right now and I can surely vouch the longetivity of my Note's battery life...
2 days already with 40% battery level... 1 hr of internet, 30 mins of calls everyday.. 100 texts, emails and news feeds...
Tried Franco's kernel.. I was not satisfied with the expectant rate of my battery level dropping 3% in just a span of an hour.. I also tried AbyssNote, made a comparison with Franco's kernel, and though there is slight difference in terms of battery life, but the many issues I read on AbyssNote forum of BLN and stuffs made me wary of keeping it on my Note...
So I tried back FM kernel and made a decision not to charge it everyday (I used to charged my Note whenever and wherever I can).
Now, I am never going back to flashing another kernel again (with Franco's or with Angelom's Abyss), unless some of the issues mentioned on some users (on their respective threads) can fully be smoothen out..
Just my take.....
Hello everyone.
I am looking for the best fit for me as far as a rom / kernel combo. I have had the phone a week and was on stock for a day. Battery life was decent but i was looking for more longevity out of the device. I then flashed Dirty Unicorns and love the battery life but not all the theming and black. Is there something stock like with very awesome battery life I can try out? I do like the stock look L / M. I like simple and clean looking with no extra apps. What is the best recommendation for me?
Thank you in advance.
"Best" ROM.
There is no such thing as a best ROM.* The question itself is ambiguous.* "Best" is obviously a subjective term.
What I want from a ROM may well differ from what you want from a ROM, ergo - what is best for me could be worst for you.
If you are asking what the most popular ROMs are, or which ROMs people are using, you can see which threads stay around on the first few pages (and have the most posts) in the Android Development or Original Android Development forums. You can also see what other people are running by reading the What are YOU running on your Nexus 6??? thread.
If you are asking which is the most stable, being a Nexus device - they're all pretty stable.
If you are asking which is best on Battery, ROMs only affect battery if they have a feature that is badly coded.* You will likely be able to read about this in the ROM threads.* ROMs do not impact battery life.* The only impact to battery life are your apps, your settings, how you use the phone and mostly, environmental issues such as Phone Signal.
For tips about improving battery life, please read [Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
"Best" Kernel
There is no such thing as the "Best" kernel.* What we all want from a kernel is different. Again, many people have the misconception that Kernels affect battery life.* Let's get this cleared up.* Although Kernel devs will build in optimisations and efficiencies that will improve battery life, these are very, VERY tiny...and if 1 kernel has these optimisations, they likely all have.
People will often say "Kernel x is better than kernel y for battery life".* This is actually wrong.* Kernels respond to user settings. Setting up the governor to favour either battery life or performance is simple enough to do, you just have to do some learning.* The reason people think Kernel x is better than y is because developers set their kernels up with their preferred governor settings.* This is what we refer to as out-of-the-box settings.* The out-of-the-box settings for kernel x may well produce better battery results than the out-of-the-box settings for kernel y, which favour performance.* The fact is, you as the user have the ability to tune kernel x or y to perform the same, be that battery or performance - so start learning how to do this yourselves - that way, you can choose the kernel based on the FEATURES you want, and not the fictional performance benefits of one kernel over another.
There's no best combo either. Get the features you want and learn to tune the kernel to your desires
Hope this helps
