Question about ROM/KERNEL battery life suggestions. - Nexus 5 General

My Nexus 5 is coming in the mail on friday, and I was wondering if anybody found a good kernel/rom + settings to achieve the best possible battery life? Ive been doing research, and CM nightly + chaos kernel seems like that might work.. any better recommendations?
maybe a certain kernel + stock rooted??
anything? my main concern is battery life... but I also need performance.. not extreme performance but i dont want a laggy interface just for better battery life.
maybe also some undervoltage settings?
please people give me some recommendations or even your personal favorite and why.. thank you.

heres exactly what you are looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477889
experiment a little, try out different combos, thats the only way that you will find the perfect combo for your phone, and for your needs. everyone uses their devices differently, has differing needs, and each device reacts differently to every rom and kernel. whats perfect for me can be terrible for you.

Just passing thru....see the post above mine. Thanks

I dont know if it could be caused by sre doesn't it use the overclock 1.2 ghz kernel i am not sure if that would drastically effect battery life or not.

For me, the lag fix alone didn't cause a drop in battery life, but right now I'm having a huge problem with the battery.
Well Ive been running set cpu at 1000 max.so isn't think the overclock was the issue.

I have been running jh3, sre with the lag fix and noticing battery life has not been that good. I dont know what is causing it I am going to back up my apps with titanium and run odin and run at stock for a day or two and see if battery life improves. Right now i am getting maybe 7 or 8 hours with regular phone use which isnt that good

That is my batt life. Not good at all anymore. With lagfix and OC kernal. But it is about the same after those installs and what not
If you installed the lagfix to the SDcard (installed the ext2 that is), maybe your card is just being read a lot more and is using more power? (conjecture, I don't actually know :x )

[REAL FEEL] Fastest ROM out there?

Hey guys.
I'm always curious what's the fastest ROM out there.
I don't want to see benchmarks, just the "REAL EVERYDAY FEEL" of the ROM counts.
At the moment I'm switching between RasSaber, SaberMod and the AOKP PUB builds by Whitehawkx, bigxie or kecinzer.
Most of the time I pair it with the latest franco nightly.
Since I tasted the smoothness of these various set-ups, I'm always coming back since PA for example is just quiet a bit slower.
So enough said. Can someone point to a faster set-up in comparision to the above mentioned??
Greetz.

Threads like this are pointless.
Try them all out everyone has different opinion. Please don't make threads like this

I know that there's nothing like the "best" ROM, but there was huge progress in performance with the new gcc toolchains. Just wanted to know if there were other ROMs as fast. With the actual population of ROMs I cannot try them all
theres no right answer for real feel, as real feel will be different for everyone, and every setup. there isnt a way to measure real feel.
When you swipe and your finger sticks to the screen causing the phone to shoot off the table.. that's when you have the fastest ROM/Costly ROM

Which kernel gives the best accelleration in this circumstance
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
In developer options change everything from 1.0 to 0.5, get Nova Launcher, choose in settings Super Fast for animations and evrey rom will fly for you
These threads just turn into people posting the ROM theyre currently on. Just try them all until you find one that you think is fast, There Is No Other Way™

Battery life

My battery life is really bad that i have to charge the phone twice a day sometimes more
i tried every thing said here on the forums, i disabled LG bloatware, i lowered the brightness to 0% but with no luck
so is the only way is to unlock the device and install a custom rom? or could it be the battery hardware itself? because i realized that the battery charges really fast, also i just got the phone 4 days ago is it normal that out of the box the battery life is this bad?
EDIT: it looks like i'm running UAE firmware, would it help if i flashed a kdz file for a European firmware? if yes which firmware should i install from these http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?

Using a different kernel would be the better idea IMO

Undervolting and Kernel Settings Discussion

I've been wondering about what to expect when undervolting. There's only one kernel for this phone that I know of, the Render one; if there are more, feel free to point them out. Additionally, what kind of global offsets can I expect, and what are your settings?

Does anybody tried undervolting yet ? Is it worth to play around with lower values and save some juice or not ?

i've tryed to set lower voltage setting via kernel auditor on custom Krait kernel but, as i think, had random reboots while CPU loading growed up in short time...
Still testing on new kernel build

No undervolting but try interative governor tweaks. There is a guide how to in Nexus 5X general.

Kernel OS And System Server high battery drain

guys ever since the update, i've had a horrible battery life because of kernel and system_server processes. Does anyone knows whats the cause or how i can fix the issue, i've tired "Wake Lock Detector", "GSAM", everything i can think of, even "show CPU" in the developer option, i cant seem to find the cause of the issue. if nessary ill add pictures to show the results that am getting
sorry, completely forgot to mention that am using a S5 Active(G870A) and updated to 5.0 (OC5) using @muniz_ri version http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g870aoc5-5-0-keeproot-t3083841
If screen is on alot not much help here; However, I am using my deductive reasoning & will suggest deep sleep battery saver. Makes my phone stay in the 90%s if my screen is off awhile. Firefox beta uses battery until you physically exit out I've learned. Last thought for now, kernal tuner. Put 1 CPU governor to powersave. Not sure if it matters which? Mine is CPU1. Hope it helped.
My Samsung S5 Active. Yes I read pages. Thanks
I wish it was the screen but the screen only takes up 3% of battery usage while android OS and kernel takes up about 50% combined and I have no idea what to do because "show cpu" state that system_server and media server is the culprit

Install better battery stats and get an idle dump so we can see what the exact issue is.
