For poor people who have lock bootloader

For those who are unfortunate about not unlocking their x8 with 11w30 and above/.... i have a question for u
im on stock kernel and rom and lock bootloader
sorry for asking but i cant seem to find answer if i can change my stock kernel to one of the stock kernel offering of other dev and change my rom to custom rom ??
if yes can u suggest a good rom with good battery life ans stable for everyday use i prefer GB THANKS

Well, stock kernel is stock because you cannot use the cutom ones offered by other devs. This, however, does not prohibit you the use of cutom roms, you only have to use the ones that support the stock kernel option.
As for the roms, well, check out the sticky in general section for a comprehensive list of various ROMs and their supported kernels (look for stock kernel in the kernels list).
<shameless_plug>I, personally, use GingerDX, a fast, smooth and really nice in overall rom</shameless_plug>

unlock your bootloader =P

[Q] custom rom for xperia TL lt30at ?

i have official jb 4.1.2 firmware 9.1.F.1.120
which custom rom to put in?tnx,sorry for bad english

Honestly, you should experiment to see what roms work best for you. There are a lot of excellent roms on here made by really talented developers who put in a lot of hard work.
I'm currently using Peetr_ 's Hybrid rom. Even with no undervolting (due to locked bootloader), with only setCPU (set cpu profile to 384mhz-486mhz when screen is off) I'm getting insane battery life- 53 hours of standby time without charging and still ticking at 61% (granted, the phone was actually used for an hour.)
Hope you find something you like.

Which kernel do you use?

Stock kernel (the one that came with the phone).

Refering to my post in the HybridRom thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48796459&postcount=1018 Do you know if there is a way to install the stock kernel to a unlocked bootloader phone.

As I have a permanently locked bootloader, I am unable to try out any custom kernels. I do have a Nexus 7 FHD with an unlocked bootloader, and by experience, a custom kernel does help with battery life, as it gives you the option to undervolt the phone, among other tweaks already implemented by the developers of the kernel.
I had a look at the NK kernel features, and it does give you those options. Slight undervolting should help. I suggest sticking with what you have. Remember that the main source of battery drainage would be the screen. My screen is off most of the time, with short timeouts and liberal usage of the on/off button (screen is off when listening to music).
Hope this helps.

Stock ROM vs Custom ROM

With all the hype about the official sense 6 ota rolling out I've been considering reverting back to stock w/ root. The reason is I dont use many of the features that custom roms offer, I like how sense 6 looks and prefer it to be stock (no init.d support etc).
I dont care about features or performance, my only concern is battery life, so how does the stock rom compare to custom roms on the HTC One in terms of battery life?

I would say stick to stock as much as possible because custom roms have bugs and u have to wait till devs finds any solutions :angel:

I find that quite interesting
you are on xda-developers but recommend staying stock... somewhat of a controversy there, no?
and stock doesn't have bugs?

I have to agree with slogger. I tried most of custom ROMs on xda and none of them can match my stock 4.4.2 in combination with Elemental kernel. I have perfectly smooth, fast phone and my battery lasts around 50 hours off charge with moderate use with CPU OCed to 2.05 GHz

Alright then I guess im going to run an RUU later. One thing though, how do you get a custom kernel to flash ontop of the stock rom?

The same way you flash a kernel on a custom rom. Flash it from custom recovery. Make sure that the kernel you want to use is Sense compatible

I read that that wont work, since the stock rom has a secure kernel. You would need an unsecure kernel in order to be able to write another on over it.
But ill give it a shot regardless.

Just flash it via custom recovery like you wuld flash a ROM

but dont you need an unsecure ramdisk for the kernel to flash successfully?

I unlocked my bootloader and flashed Elemental right away, so I guess not

No you don't. The secure kernal affects for example deleting system apps or any bloat software that you don't want. It will be back after a reboot. You can flash anything in recovery no probs

what about it? what's your real question? stock is however stock is set up, custom kernels change the CPU setup, in many differing ways. there is no one correct answer as there are many different custom kernels and setups.

if you have issues with the stock kernel, yes. if you want root, yes. should you learn how to set up your cpu properly before changing kernels? yes. learn about the governor/scheduler, how changing them changes your cpu performance. besides that, some kernels add a few minor features as well.

Rooted but as close to stock as possible. I've always had issues with heavily tweaked custom kernels.
They have their place, but not if you wan't a solid rooted daily driver IMHO.

im a well known custom kernel user, and yet I NEVER use any custom kernel as they are set up by the developer. I ALWAYS use my own CPU setups, always. as far as I can tell, my setup is as solid for me as any stock kernel that google provides. but not only solid, my phones performance is kicked up a notch as well as its battery life. and my devices turn out much more responsive too.

Wow you must be very skilled and talented!
Sometimes messing with stuff like that can create bootloops and random freezes.
I also love how you have contributed to this thread by saying how you ALWAYS use your own CPU setups.
It was very informational an helpful.
Thanks!

and that's why its very important to know about governors and schedulers.
here's one of my examples.. for a long time, I was the only one using all 4 cores on , no hotplugging. and many people laughed at me about it, claiming my battery life must suck. but, for android 5.1 google changed the CPU settings for the nexus 6. and many people really noticed about how reactive the n6 became. what did google change? they set the cpu to be always on, no hotplugging :angel:
BTW, I use the ondemand governor with the deadline scheduler. with the sampling rate for ondemand set at 15000 and the sampling rate at 98.

Rom + Kernel Combo

Hello Folks...
Motive behind creating this thread is just to let know the new comers / OP5 users of this forum the most preferred / Loved ROM + Kernel combo..
I know there is no such thing called Best ROM , Kernel but just to make life easier for all of us.
Hope this thread helps all the devs from unnecessary questions in their threads like, hows this rom ? hows the battery backup. etc..
So, Please feel free to share your "Preferred" ROM + Kernel combo with some Pros and cons you faced and also some info on the battery backup.
Mods : Please feel free to delete this thread if not useful.

Any OOS ROM + Adin's Kernel, or DirtyCORE Kernel :good:
And if possible, Magisk

Yeah it's true for now i think the best OOS based rom is xXx no limits , and the best kernel is dirtycore kernel !
waiting for DU & RR & Lineage ...

I'm using xXx and Ex kernel but today I get just 4h SOT.. Don't know if others have underclocked their cpu for their stable 7+h SOT

I am using xXx without any custom kernel and getting 7hrs SOT..no battery saving apps and no custom settings...sync on..location off...I used to get 4-5 hrs SOT on OP 3T

Stock rom and ex kernel getting 8-10 hrs daily on my sot I've left my images there for people to see

I don't have the device yet (shipment still pending -_-), but currently, I have a Google Pixel XL and I am running PureNexus with EX Kernel.
Once I get the device, I'm going to either install a ROM I find that is closest to PureNexus in terms of features and stability, or RR, as that seems to be one of the more popular ROM options out there.
I may stick with the stock kernel, but I feel like I will find myself installing EX on the OP5 as well.
Also, I definitely need a ROM with OMS support, Substratum ftw!

Here is a rom(xXx 4.5.5) + kernel (Xceed test) the only overclocked kernel. Some screens below.

Currently using Freedom ROM. With now the Boeffla Kernel.
I Have been using the Ex kernel previously. So thought I'd try the Boeffla instead, as I've just updated Freedom 1.2 1.3 earlier today.

What's the advantage of those over, say, ElementalX?

Stock rom and ex kernel

12 hr sot. With 9% left

13 hr sot

I am on Stock Kernel and ROM(4.5.5)
I loose around 3% overnight (8Hrs) Phone goes to deepsleep, all connectivity off, except phone radio.
Is this normal? Can it be bettered with a dev Kernel?
Please suggest... Thanks
