I'm using Official RR remix rom Nougat and I was wondering if there is any kernel that i can use to extend battery life with. I dont want to severely underclock so i cant play any games or anything. Maybe something in the middle between battery and performance.
The kernel will help with underclocking, but it's even better if you combine it with the AKT profiles.
There are 3-5 profiles to choose from, targeting to battery, performance or balance between these 2.
Unleashed by ONEPLUS 3T rooted
Go for Blackbird V1.1
Awesome battery backup on other roms compared to RR.
But better than many other kernel with regards to battery

I'm looking for a kernel and custom rom that give me a perfect balance between battery life and performance on my Nexus 6. Thanks for the help.
Bliss pop and elementalx
I use BrokenOS(personal preference, mainly for UI) and Sensei kernel for battery. Its extremely customizable and upstreams the best features and optimizations from other kernels like elementalx and Franco and the likes. He releases it a few days after (or day of) and its extremely customizable. I've used it since release 5. He's currently on release 34
BlissPop and Franco Kernel :good:
I notice significant battery improvement with ElementalX kernel over stock kernel.
first off, kernels do not give you better battery. its a huge misconception. a kernel can help you better your battery, but will not improve your battery. you can get the same improvements by messing with your cpu yourself. battery life is all about how you personally use your device, how you set it up, what kinds of apps you install, and ver much the quality if your phone/data signal. thats it. there is no magic pill(kernel) that you can take to improve your battery life. if you want better battery life, keep away from terribly written apps, and apps that drain your phones resources.

Even then some kernels have customizations and optimizations to help lengthen the battery life. For example different CPU govorners and reduce unneeded clock speed overhead and under clocking can help too with the help of a custom kernel. So yes, poorly written apps and sensors that hog power tend to be the majority of power loss, I still think that the kernels introduce a bit of help too
Hello,
So im willing to try some kernels for my Nexus to see whats the best for my needs.
I want to compare the stock kernel to the leankernel, franco kernel and the ElementalX kernel.
Comperasion criterias:
1. Faster booting
2. Fastest performence as possible without hurting battery life in comparison to the stock kernel.
3. Better battery life as possible without hurting performence in comparison to the stock kernel.
So how can i compare those kernels? should i just flash each kernel and use AnTuTu Benchmark and Better Battery Stats on each one of them?
Choosing the best kernel for me is to give a try for each one and see for myslef - i know that. But i want to see the stats in front of me to reasure im picking the best one and also beacuse iv'e used the chroma and euphoria roms which use leankernel and franco kernel but im not sure the difference is noticeable by eye.
Also, feel free to share your current kernel and opinion about it

1. Stop watch
2 & 3: Not really possible. To give to performance, takes from battery and vice versa. You give 1 to performance, you take 1 from battery. There are no magic settings that allow you to give 1 to performance and only take 0.5 from battery.
I hope the attached image helps to explain that
There are also other things to factor like the governor, scheduling, hot plug support , etc.
For example elementalX has its own Governor and I'm not sure it will even default itself to be used. You will need some type of kernel configuration tool to enable it .
There is also how YOU are using your phone. Just too many variables to consider

Yeah for sure.
I always say that because kernel x performs more than kernel y out-of-the-box, it doesn't mean you can't set kernel y up to perform like x... It's just a trade off whichever way you go.
My personal advice is find a kernel that has the features you want, then configure the governor with the bias you want to see. I always go for Elementalx. @flar2 sets the best balance of battery and performance in my opinion, though I always alter my settings to suit my needs anyway
Hello, what is for you the best kernel/governor to get smooth and responsive experience with the best battery life ? Thanks.
Im on jdc team aosp rom and the battery life plus performance is excellent on the stock kernel settings. You can try bb kernel for this rom too, which has performance benefits and maybe minor degrade in battery life, not noticeable to most users. Ill suggest you use stock kernel on this rom. Note: im also using google play services doze and unified hosts adblock magisk modules. For good battery life, download the app called app opd from play store and from there restrict background activity permission for apps you dint want running in the background and dont want notifications from. Also restrict keep awake permissions.
Ive tried tweaking kernel settings in maby ways in many roms and many kernels. It never gives any better battery life, rather affects performance badly. Dude you bought a snapdragon 820 phone. Dont worry so much about battery and enjoy your life. Use my suggestions in first paragraph and youll be fine.

Hello.
I'll be unlocking my bootloader soon, at first I wanted to install the Xiaomi EU rom but then I found out about all these beautiful ROMs and I couldn't decide.
I don't like the Pixel Experience ROM because I don't have that freedom of editing/customize the theme etc.
The Resurrection Remix ROM seems the best in that case, and I've heard it's also great performance wise.
What Kernel should I use with it? Does it drain much battery? More than standard MIIUI?
Thank you in advance
Generally, the kernel included with the ROM will be most stable, I use RR Oreo + Gabriel back then, it was almost compareable battery life (or drain a lot more) but heats more than what Xiaomi.eu + Gabriel for me and that might just be what makes RR drain more.
You can try Clarity and maybe it performs better, but generally I like Gabriel better because of how much you can tweak the kernel
Clarity sounds cool, which version should I download?
There's one with the CPU overclocked and one without the overclock

Obviously without overclock is best with your battery, if you want a balance I would set the BIG cores at stock frequency, and overclock the LITTLE cores for whatever, which I am not sure if Clarity can do, but I heard 2.9 has been good, though you will miss out on lots of updatea up to 3.7
Clarity works very good no issues latest version is 3.8
Whats the best balanced rom for no lag and best battery? I dont do any kind of gaming.
I guess nougat roms is better for battery
like viper os, lineage os 14.1 and jdc
Kernel soda 1.2.1 and floppy
you can test combinations between them, or stock
Stock roms always have better battery and stability.
I'd suggest a china based mod, like Masik, MIUI MS or Xiaomi.eu. With latest betas you get up to 5:30 hours SOT and they're Oreo based. Older Nougat releases reached 6:30hrs.
I am very happy with aex.mod rom. Good battery life and absolutely good gaming performance. I put on test with antutu , gpu performance better than eu rom almost 10k point. Battery performance over 5 hours.
