Just post what's the best kernel you've ever tried for battery life, so that we can have the main point of view.
Also, if you want, post the ROM used and specify the version used.
I we get many votes, I'll make a graph for newbie users.
ChriskeloRom v25
Kernel v2.0
Battery life 1day 3hours 37% left
Usage intermediate.

With so many variables your not going to find best kernel for battery life since it's not just the kernel that effects battery life.....
Firmware/Modem/Carrier/Kernel/OC/Installed programs etc will all effect battery life along with user patterns...
Not Development hence thread closed.

As the titles states, i would just like to make this thread for everyone willing to come in and share their experience with different roms and preferably show some screenshots of the graph and screen on time. I will be uploading mine shortly

i've discoverend that the best rom for battery performance in my scenario is DarkyRom HD - i've tried so many ICS based roms and all the promises of "better battery performance" have not yielded anything more fruitful than what darky provides - as a matter of fact, darkROM HD is the only rom that actually charges my battery while i use it.. other just discharge regardless of whatever tweek and power saving setting i set on it
I've used HydrogenICS and it's one of the best for battery life imo. The base is AOKP
CM9 with N.E.A.K kernel - amazing battery life.

Hi guys, as title say, i want to know wich kernel is better for battery life..
I´m on Unlimited ROM, by mv style, wich is really awesome. I´m using Mesa Kernel, but i read that Panic Kernel is good for battery life too.. And performance is also good. So.. wich kernel do you suggest me? Is Panic Kernel more battery friendly than Mesa?
Thanks
My Phone is a Mini Pro
I have never used MESA kernel so I can't compare the two
But kernel PANIC has good battery life... Better than rage and Kamarush v3 (no offense) (just my observations)

Get battery monitor widget from market and test those kernels yourself.
It's better to yee for yourself then to blindly trust
It's easy to do, flash kernel a and leave the phone in standby during the night. In the mornign look at the battery consumption graph in BMW.
Then you take kernel b and do the same with it.
Just be sure to use the same min frequency and same governor.
EDiT:
A ROM also influences battery life. So let's say that for user B MESA has excellent batt life, for user A it might be bad.
That's why it's better to test and see for yourself

That's true....
Personally i try and aim to use a 'lite' rom + panic kernal if possible ....
But most phones give about 1 day worth of work. There are few that exceed that (ultimate? rom by mv_style)
Kernel panic has good battery life

I prefer kernel panic...in every way
I know alot of people ask which is the best combi, but i dont care about that.
im wondering which one really affects the battery more, the rom or the kernel?
im looking for more battery life and i constantly try many roms and kernels to find the best, but its all very erratic so im wondering which one i should change and look for increase in battery life more
tks
It's a combination of both. The core power management drivers lie in the kernel, along with CPU frequencies, governors, and other battery life affecting things. But the ROM is what ultimately makes use of the kernel. If the ROM has certain battery draining features, then it will affect battery life negatively and vice versa. So it's really a combination of both.

buy another battery and carry it around with you
Hi guys,
I've been using many kernels now, Siyah, Franco, Yank.555, NEAK. Etc. But They all used up my battery like crazy! lost 8 % in 20m thats not good, Mind that i wasn't doing anything, it was just on screen lock. Now i've read that media scanner could be in wakelock to use so much battery but how do i see this? And my main question is, what is the best kernel for battery use but balanced with stock performance? I've heard phenomenal would be good, but i rather ask before installing another kernel by now.
I'm running sotmax ultimate stock v14 for gt-19300XXELLA jelly bean 4.1.2
Thanks in advance
It's against the rules to ask that
Why don't you try stock kernel? I have a good battery life. Try to close all battery-sucking apps like Facebook,Istagram and stuff like that.
I don't exactly think it's up to the kernel to save battery life. I'm using siyah, but, to give you an example, its battery saving features are undervolting. Meaning you can either make it have top performance, or set it to the highest battery saving setting.
Best kernel, best rom, and hottest chick in the world threads are not allowed as they are all subjective
Thread closed
Generally which provide best battery life?
Also, which individual ROM do you think provides the best battery life?
Stock based roms will provide better battery life than cm based roms.There is no individual rom with best battery life.You have to try them personally.
It also depends upon how many apps are running in background.
A debloated rom will be faster(and battery friendly?).
A kernel is also responsible.There are many kernels.I cannot tell which has best battery life.You have to try them personally.I would suggest to try apolo kernel.

Disagree. I've had much better battery life with AOSP roms on the S2 Vs Samsung-based roms.
OP - there are so many variables re: battery life it's impossible to give a definitive answer/answer for your situation because everyone has their phone setup differently & everyone uses it differently. You're only going to find out what gives you the best battery life by trying out roms/kernels. People who have looked for shortcuts re: this in the past have ended up rather disappointed ('Someone told me rom/kernel X has fantastic battery life but it was crap for me').
I've had much better battery life with AOSP roms.
Just reported this thread, before it is too late If you don't understand why: please read the answer from MistahBungle again.
Best Rom threads are discouraged on xda.
