Suggested ROM and kernel for best battery life. Sprint Galaxy S4

Hello all,
I am currently running PAC-MAN rom with Faux kernel. Battery life is good although I would like to see if I can get better battery life with a standard battery. Does anyone have any suggestions or can post their battery life with ROM\Kernel with additional kernel\rom settings?
Thanks

There is no BEST ROM/Kernel for anything...only what is BEST for YOU based on your usage/apps/preferences/signal strength/phone.
Members are expected to do the research on this development site before altering their $700 device.

[Q] Stock vs Custom ROM (SPEED DIFFERENCES)

Hey guys, I know this might be a dumb question but can someone tell me which type of ROM is better at speed (playing games with less or no lags, system speed and so on). I'm currently running DModV6 and am quite happy with it, but was just wondering if going back to the latest stock 4.1.2 ROM will give better user experience (a.k.a. faster phone).
P.S. I'm wondering 'cause when I watch videos of the S3 Mini playing heavy games, they don't lag at all, but when I play them, they do lag
Thanks for reading/helping and have a nice evening !

Your opinion on the best CAF kernel for battery life?

Need to save battery life, as with Cyanogenmod it was bad. Anyone know of a good kernel that gives good battery life?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/best-rom-kernel-threads-t2477889
first off, questions go in the q&a section, not general. secondly, best rom/kernel threads are not allowed on xda and will be closed shortly. thirdly, battery life all depends on your personal usage, your personal setup, your apps installed/used, and relies greatly in the quality of your phone/data connection. everything else, including kernel, play a very minor role.

As simms stated above, we do not allow best rom/kernel threads.

Rom / Kernel Combo

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
