Best Kernel for RR ROM - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

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

[Q] How can i compare kernels?

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

[Q] Best Kernel

Hiii Guys I'm Currently Using Blisspop V2.2 It Was An Awsome ROM Except Its Battery Performance, Since The Xiaomi Released Kernel Sources i've been observing xda mi3 section there are alot of custum kernels thanx to all devs,and i did not try any one so far, so my question is especially by considering Blisspop rom is there any best kernel which improves the battery performance in mi3?? please suggest me and help mee waiting for ur valuble suggestions..!!
Thanku in advanced..!!
Stuxnet+ it is!

I'm using the Stuxnet kernel too - though your question is impossible to answer. It really depends on your use, combined with the governor/min-max processor speeds etc. Most of the kernel variables are accessible for all custom kernels.
Also, what is battery performance? Days on standby, or hours of screen'on time? Browsing or gaming..?
It's very easy to limit battery consumption by reducing screen brightness, running a conservative governor, not using the upper available frequencies etc.
I'd say that they make a bigger difference than swapping between stable kernels.

here in my view battery performance means Screen On Time..!!!
A search would have answered this. There is no best. Try them each out for yourself.

Good kernel to use with RR?

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

Better ROM or kernel configuration for games?

Hi, I have a one plus 3t and I would like if someone knows a configuration to play, if it exists or something.
Thank you
As long as the Kernel does not underclock your CPU/GPU for Battery Life, any Kernel/ROM should be fine.

That's what I would think. The hardware on this phone is killer. Only bettered by Snapdragon 835 phones (or the upcoming phones for this year).
I wonder if the top poster is having a specific issue with games? Or just looking to tweak/overclock, despite no real issues?

I'm guessing the latter. He's probably on Stock, and he just wants to know if there's any possibility on increasing Performance in Workloads/Games. Nothing much else.
If he does want some recommendations, Caesium Kernel or ElementalX paired with Stock or a highly AOSP based ROM like NOS should do well. Not that the other Kernels or ROMs will be much different, this is just my experience.

right now I am using the z-unleasht, it runs well the games but it was out of curiosity if there was some configuration of Kernel so that it does not drink so much battery and render better
You should try helix engine: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/app-helix-engine-v1-0-beta-3-t3745746/
Then use "AKT balanced" (change in settings). You can choose for every App other profiles -> change it to performance for your games.
Then you have a fast smartphone with great battery life, and performance while gaming.
You need to be rooted

It's not possible to go after battery economy while wanting to perform heavy duty tasks.
It's either one or the other.
Unleashed by my rooted OP3T on 8.0
thanks for the app i am researching to have ..
Hi guys, i have tried many custom kernel such as ElementalX, Flash kernel, Boeffla, Blu_spark, Wolfram..... etc and I still find that my OnePlus 3T can't handle big games..... unstable FPS even at low settings.... and It heats up pretty quick and render the CPU to lower its frequency, etc.....

Benchmark score with custom roms

Hi guys, if you guys are using custom roms please post your benchmark scores. Because asus6z scores higher than our model, i need to move to custom rom and the fastest one...
It's also help peoples who all are searching for performance roms.
Why not try maxing out your cpu and change the governor to performance?

That will cost battery life too, compared to miui , there are lot of stock type roms provide better performance with battery life.

If I recall correctly, many reports say that MIUI-based roms significantly faster, even if lacking in some other aspects.
xiaomi.eu ROMs have a number of optimizations that should make it faster than others, though I'm not sure if only marginally or significantly.

Im using indian version with 11.0.1 i got 41**** ......
My point is, if you want to compare underlying efficiency, apples with apples, at least clock them at the same frequency.
I've tried 3 of the roms, benchmarks aside, they can be really sluggish at times and offer dismal battery life. I just don't think custom kernels/roms have really matured enough to focus on performance on our device.
