Hi everybody,
i´ve started this thread because of getting a view of your experiences of good kernel rom combinations. For every user there are different expectations so i´ve decided to categorize in 3 different sections.
1. Battery Usage
longest battery lifetime - depends on each configuration sure but where did you get the best goal for you
2. Performance
based on user experience - not benchmark
3. Usabiltity
your favourite combination for daily use for balance of performance and speed
Please post for which category you provide your post and write some comments why this is the best combination for you. So let's start to share your experience
:fingers-crossed:
I will start
Battery
For until now is the best combination for battery saving for me this:
Rom: Carbon Rom 1.7
Kernel: Matr1x Kernel 9.0 (non overclocked)
Changing kernel from stock of carbon to matr1x pushed my battery life huge. At this time this is the best combination for me for battery life

Nice idea but:
1. Users all have different setups regarding installed roms,apps, widgets, mods and usage.So its very hard to compare screenontime/batterylife.
2. By performance you mean synthethic benchmarks or user experience?
3. Usability! What do you mean exactly by that?
As said don`t want to nitpick but specify the parameters
Me personaly i use Stock 4.2.2 rom and Franco nightlie r148.

it´s very difficult because of individual configurations and impressions and everybody has to test it on his own but i think it´s good to get an experience what other users prefer Please add a category if it´s possible. That would be nice!
I´ve specified the parameters a bit.
For me PA&AK kernel is the best...I came from Galaxy Nexus btw..

Nexus 4 battery best battery life
So i'm running P.A 3.60 combined with matrix kernel 8.5 on my nexus 4. I used trickster mod to change it to 2 cpus in use only and its still silky smooth and handles all the games i play still. With Gpu overclocked and limiting the 2 cores in use to 1Ghz when i'm barely using the phone plus display set to about 50% brightness (mabye too high for indoor use but i just love the screen), i got 20+ hours with wi-fi on constantly, and using social networks (facebook, whats app, sent about 100 sms in the day, plus 4 hours of call time) with 18% left. I think thats good enough

thank you for your settings. can you detailed explain what modifications you've done in trickster mod?
CPU Cores max frequencies / 4 Cores or??
GPU Cores max frequencies / limited to number of cores?
I want to mess up my battery life
thank you
I use Stock ROM and faux123 15tbm kernel
In dual core mode at a maximum clock of 1728 MHz and minimum of 214 with -100mv of UV I had 16 hours of battery time. 4 hours of screen time with normal use, music, gps, chrome and what's app.
The usability its better than stock kernel.
I never had lag issues or bugs.
My best and only at the moment is CM 10.1 + Franco Kernel.
On 2G, wifi on, auto brightness , I've been getting 40 minutes of screen (browsing, on Facebook, etc) at each 10 percent of battery.

The latest Paranoid Android and Franco kernel
saberMod + sts kernel best combination ever.
For me, I quite enjoy Trinity/Franco/Community Kernel with Carbon, or Trinity and CodeFireX. Both super-high performance ROMs.
Connor Baker
Also, I thought that "best of" threads weren't allowed.
I use latest PA and franco.
Hello. I'm on stock 4.2.2 and enhanced stock faux kernel. Stock is fast and pretty stable in this combination. I want try something different but when I try CM with faux kernel it become unstable. Why I'm using faux kernel? Because I'm using Trickster Mod. Which ROM working good with faux kernels? PA maybe?

i think it's ok. It doesn't evaluate best rom's or kernel's. It evaluate experiences. but if it's not ok - i can change thread title. Thank for the hint :good:
Guys, can you please add the section? Nobody knows for which goal is your combination good! Thanks in advance!
Stock + Franco Nightly
I want a flawless system so I stay on stock Android + I don't have the time to maintain nightly updated ROMs like CM, although I really like CM, especially its free customization... But doing those customization = Eat up my time for studying... So I decide to keep me and my N4 away from them
However I cannot accept the battery life and CPU management of the stock kernel so I chose Franco Kernel. I nearly do not play games and I accept seldom lags. My main use is browsing the web (often open up to 10 tabs ) and texting. My battery usually lasts for one day with ~5 hours of on-screen time and it's satisfying.
Running Carbon 1.7 with the latest Trinity kernel (131). Looks pretty solid so far.
Stock + Motley's kernel, with 2.5 days uptime + 3 hours SOT. Can't complain there.
Carbon 1.7, Franco latest nightlie using the BeastlyBattery power mode. On average 5hours screen on time.

I am with 4.4.KK Nightly rom.
I wonder which kernel is better battery saving vise, Semaphore or McKay Kernel ?
Any suggestion?

Don't get me wrong. why not test them for a week each on your phone, as it will never be the same on someone else device as each user may have different preferences and usage.
so relying on suggestions may not be the wiser move for you.

yes, hopefully others will give you their opinions on this thread, but it may differ in your device as it would not be based on your configuration and usage as such it may not be the best method to test battery consumption for your device. what I am saying is that we all have differant usage and applications for our device, so battery consumption will vary from user to user.

The difference between kernels is probably not that great.
I think you could make more difference to battery life by having less apps running in the background preventing the phone from sleeping.

Both the kernels are nice according to me. You may also try the latest cyancore kernel by @ts1506. Also his cyanAOSP ROM is the lightest KitKat ROM.
For better battery life, make sure you have the less no. of running apps in background.
Try the following:
1. Don't over-clock your device as high frequencies need higher voltages.
2. Our Galaxy S has Super AMOLED display, which consumes more battery while the white screen but consumes least when the display is black.
Therefore, use black wallpaper for screen. And try to prefer the apps with black background.
3. Use Greenify app to disable app running in background.
4. Switch of GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth and mobile data when not in use.
5. Under-clock your device while sleeping to save power.
6. Kill apps while not using them.

First of all, hi everyone, since this is my first post on XDA!
In my opinion, both Semaphore an MacKay work smoothly with 4.4, and they are battery friendly as well (i'm using MacKay's ROM).
You can yet have a slight battery consumption gain by using semaphore's auto brightness with a dark profile.
Running CM 11 Nightly with Semaphore, I would say my battery usage has gone down from 4.3 Slimbean. I'm using the same apps and my phone the same amount.
Kitkat is great. I can't speak highly of the stock CM kernel though, you should definitly use something else.
Semaphore for me has been better at battery consumption reduction.
Please keep a check on running apps and in Settings\developers options\background data limit\ set it to2 or 3 so that cached background apps dont suck any battery.
Informative
Thanx
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..!!

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.
Any one knows the best battery rom ? for 8.1 because im faceing a lot of problem with a couple of roms except for our stock rom
Not really sure with nitrogen os 8.1 if there was already improvements on it. But I use it before for 8.1 but lack of oxygen os camera push me back on flashing back the stable rom.
Nitrogen OS. Been with it since its early stages, and I can assure you it's the best Oreo ROM I have ever tried, both stability, smoothness and battery wise.
Hope this could help you! :laugh:
They all good, useless thread.
Asking a question like this will always leave you more confused than before you asked it. Don't ask for the best ROM which has the best xyz features or best battery life.
You can either search for similar threads, or do trial and error flashes of ROMs until you find one that matches you.

There are a lot of thread about the best rom... However i recommend you a stock or stock-based rom on 7.1.1 with a custom kernel.
We need someone super dedicated who can do some tests on idle drains for a few ROMs... So we know which rom is most battery friendly from stock with no user apps/input

idk, I wouldn't call it useless thread, there are certainly some 8.1 ROMs that I can't even get 2 hour SOT on, while others I can get 4.
None of the ROMs out currently have deep sleep to my knowledge. I have tried Nitrogen, DU, Omni, etc and battery still drains while sleeping. It will go from 70 to 30% overnight. I only have Reddit (Boost), Discord, and Telegram installed (with notifications off), Spotify & Shuttle.
i suggest [ROM] theOne3TOS ,its based on offisial OOS,very battery saved during my using process.

Use Greenify ( and don't be light with the hammer ) and you'll get your deep sleep.

Looked into it, I disabled wakelocks and I get through a full day with 70% left. Wow.
I still don't get a full deep sleep, (a solid line to the right), but its enough to have me not worry about my battery not making it through the day.

Yeah I always noticed OOS had a bit better battery, but I would have to be 1-2 months behind in security patches and using their bloated OS ;(. Granted, its a lot less bloated then other skins.

Hello guys, because my battery can't last my working day, i was wondering if it will be possible to gain some time by underclocking/volting the kernel.
Sorry if it's a dumb question but i'm not expert ^^

As far as I know, currently there's no kernel that's support voltage control, but you can control power that used by your device indirectly with tuning CPU clock speed.
Take look at here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/advanced-interactive-governor-tweaks-t3476589
Battery life is depend on how use your phone, ROM and kernel configuration and installed apps, also the battery itself.
Try use AccuBattery to get more battery usage details and health then post here or you can post your full day battery usage from settings, maybe we can give you some advice.
