I'm a noob at this stuff and I am wondering what Leankernel does exactly. It would be great if you explain with easy to understand terminology, as I am a noob
You're not supposed to be posting questions in this subforum.
LeanKernel is a custom kernel that offers a range of benefits over the stock kernel. It's best you search what are the benefits of a custom kernel is.
Moved to Q&A.

Lean kernel is a custom kernel. Do you know what a kernel is?
Leankernel is a custom kernel but trying to keep it as close to stock as it can. Imoseyon adds things that will make the kernel better then stock but tries to keep it as close to stock as he can. Also to add if you look at Imoseyon's op post about the kernel you would see this.
"My philosophy is to keep the kernel footprint as small as possible by trimming as much fat as possible, and at the same time keeping it stable, power efficient, and fast. leanKernel is designed to be a drop in replacement for stock kernel, and so it tries not to deviate too far from stock.
You will find that it's lacking some of the bells and whistles of other custom kernels, so if you like features you came to the wrong thread." This is as noob as you are going to get.

I'm currently on modaco r21 sense I want to improve my battery life how can I go about doing that? Can I flash a kernel if so which one?
Flash intersectrave or pershoot kernels. Try all the kernels and see which one fit you best, no harm to your phone if you keep on flashing kernel. Dont ask question in this forum because its for DEV only. Use the general forum for all your question.

IntersectR doesn't support Desire Rom for the newer 34 Kernel.
The last Kernel is 33.5 back in late May that was updatedt that is undervolted and will wor fine on Desire R21. Run the 925 CFS version and you are good to go.
4th Kernel down.

I'm coming from a vzw note 3 and iPhone territory. So kernels are new to me. What are some features that are better over the stock? I'm currently rooted on 5.0.1. I am a flashaholic so I don't mind testing each kernel but like I said, it's unknown to me. I don't want to brick my nexus quite yet haha

kernels arent about features, even though some include them. kernels are about making your phone work more efficiently and about getting more performance out of your device. problem is, it all depends on how you use your device, as thats how you would set up the kernel that you are using. and stock as well, comes with its own kernel. a kernel is like the "brain" of your phone, as it will control everything.
Here's some good info about Kernel and governors.

Here's a video explaining what a kernel is.
It's impossible to brick your phone by simply flashing kernels unless you flash a kernel that isn't for your phone you shouldn't worry.
For the features, read the thread of a kernel thread and you'll see them. Personally for me, it's to change colors and not use mpdecision

Thanks everyone. The note 3 bootloader was locked so I didn't get to use kernels before. I'm going to try leankernel.
This also is a good source for kernel options/functions.

Basically kernels are the medium between the software and the hardware.
As much as this might be a really broad topic, I'm new to flashing and trying out new ROM's so some suggestions would be nice for the Nexus 6? Just looking for some honest alternatives to Stock 5.1, wanting to stay on Stock Kernel if possible.
Stock kernel is pretty much the worst of them. Or should i say, least improved. If you're not interested in trying custom kernels just yet, use the one that comes with the custom ROMs you try
As for recommendations, what's everyone likes is different. Look in the development forums, read the features and try them.

What @rootSU said and;
As long as you have a custom recovery and do a nandroid backup of your stable stock build, just try as many roms as you feel like. You don't like it, just restore your backup and bam, 5 minutes your back to exactly where you were. You can even use multirom and boot into different roms. Grab one of the roms from the N6 dev forum and give it a spin, you will never go back! And for what its worth, Benzo is dang good.

rootSU and jackpollard have already covered the basics. However, I will make a recommendation because I know that's what you want - if you want to try a ROM that comes with a very nice kernel so you will not need to flash a custom kernel, I recommend trying Dirty Unicorns. It is my personal favorite ROM to run with the inline kernel (XDA speak for the kernel that comes with the ROM). As these guys said, when you flash a ROM, it generally comes with a kernel. When you hear people on a particular ROM talk about "stock kernel", they really mean the inline kernel that comes with the ROM, not the stock MTV whatever Google kernel. To get technical, I'm not using "inline kernel" correctly either - that actually means a kernel that's built with a ROM, but I'm not even gonna get into all that. I would recommend Dirty Unicorns if you wish to find a ROM that comes with a stock kernel installed that is absolutely awesome. If you prefer a lighter ROM with a more stock-like kernel, I recommend Chroma. Both are excellent ROMs with great kernels that come with them, and both provide kernels that are easy for a new user to learn to configure. It just depends on what you are looking for - you may end up hating both of those ROMs. Also, any ROM that uses leanKernel as its kernel is a good place to start - find one that has a feature list you like, leanKernel is the best starter kernel there is in my opinion. The best thing about it is it is built well enough to still suit the needs of way more advanced users while not intimidating even the newest of noobs in the slighest. So, play around and find what suits you, bu those are a few recommendations to get you started based on the kernels that come with the ROMs and what you are asking for. I hope it helps you out.
Took the plunge and installed the latest Chroma ROM build, safe to say I'm happier with it than stock!

Heres a fun note. Most ROMs have yet to make major kernel changes, this means that, as of now, CM, PA, Omni, and most if not all AOSP ROMs boot on the stock kernel.
Hello, I was wondering if I could get a little advice.
Is there much point in overcolocking the N7000, or is it just going to throttle before a perceivable increase in performance?
And if its worth oververclocking what's the easiest approach for someone just learning? I have done a little reading and seems as if I would need to pick a Kernel that supports it, and then a few post saying I can use a app like Tegrak with the stock Kernel?
I currently have the PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0 Kernel and the NightOwl cm13 Android 6.0.1 20160510 build.
Thank you for your time.
I am currently running PN 7.1.1, with ElementalX. I've been reading the B14CKB1RD kernel thread, and people seem extremely satisfied with it. Has anyone went from ElementalX to B14CKB1RD? Any noticable differences?
I can say from experience his kernel is the only n6 kernel I will use now, I've used most of them before I went to blackbird.
both are very good better than fracos kernel ,
Elementalx : stable, battery friendly and fast updates & regularly
B14CKB1RD : battery friendly but not stable and the update is slow
B14CKB1RD kernel better than ElementalX, because have more features and better customisation.
ElementalX like stock, more simple and easy.
i tries many kernels and using ElementalX for few mounts, but better kernel for me it's- FLASH and B14CKB1RD
Don't post threads like this. In my opinion it's rude to ask X kernel vs Y kernel or X rom vs Y rom.
Make a backup of your "boot" partition in TWRP. This contains your kernel and ramdisk. Flash any kernel you want, and there are plenty more than just the two you mentioned. Use kernel adiutor-mod to look at the settings you can change and tweak them to your liking. If you don't like the kernel or find it's missing options, restore your boot partition in TWRP then flash another kernel.
EVERY user is different. Therre is no "best" kernel. Depending on your usage habits you might even tweak stuff like governor, hotplugs, and voltages. So in conclusion, try it and find out on your own!!!!
As stated before, dont post threads like this. As it doesnt matter what anyone else uses or how it works for them as each device is different and you may get different outcomes from using a kernel.
In the end, they them out and make up your own mind instead of allowing yourself to be told.
