Has anyone with a 2000mah, or anyone with any battery for that matter tried both of these kernels?
Currently on Siyah, can roughky get 2 days out of it.
Was looking at the N.E.A.K Kernel. Looks intresting. Was wondering if anyone has any opinions after trying Siyah?
For battery life I choose N.E.A.K.Now i am using N.E.A.k
Might try NEAK.
Anyone else anythign to say?

I love siyah for me that is always the beast of all kernels but lately NEAK has won me over with its vibrant sexy colours and battery life is amazing to..So i would suggest NEAK
Flashed Neak.
Cant say ive noticed coour change, then against i use the lowest brightness setting!

There are many other good kernels for SGS2.
Such as SpeedMod K2-21 or RedPill rev1.3.
FYI, here are my latest test results for the different kernels => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22676908&postcount=10080

put it on automatic brightness and then in settings and display untick the auto power adjuster something like that...and then you will see the difference
For battery life I choose N.E.A.K. The Best Performance and very Smooth!
id go with siyah and another good thing is you can use it with cyanogenmod. the battery life is pretty solid imho
My MagicConfig was born with Siyah but now I have been informed that it seems to work just as well if not better on NEAK as well. So I'll have to confirm these findings now.
CheckROM & N.E.A.K. here I come.
Stock LA4 is also good as you can also see from it_ler's results.

N.E.A.K. i think is better than siyah, the battery part , but RedPill 1.3 tops them both. Tryit for yourself
I use siyah. Very good baterylife.
Try neak!! ive never seen a kernel like dat before....

After trying a few, which kernel do you prefer and run as your normal kernel?
For me, I have to stick with Entropy's Daily Driver kernel. Its just rock solid for me and its nice to know that we have a dedicated kernel dev who is always looking to better his kernel and when there were some problems he went through his whole patch-a-day to try and pinpoint the issues and resolve them. My hats off to him.

Im with you. EDD is my fav.
they are both extremely solid. I slightly prefer Siyah only because I tend to get better battery life when combined with the "init.doh" scripts
+1 for Entropy... been rock in for weeks now with zero issues and great battery life. I am so excited to see what he has in store for us now that we have ics source.

We dont do "POST THE BEST ROM" threads. This is a poll to see what people run.
I am using Entropy and it has been rock solid. No freezes or anything. For me with Siyah I would have multiple lockups throughout the day that I had to reboot to get past. Granted I was using Siyah on cm7 though as that may make a difference.

The recovery menus with the siyah kernal are much more compact. It's annoying have to scroll through all the -NO- options when trying to flash something. Don't have to go through all that when you have the siyah kernel.
Been thinking about this and cant decide, well wonder if anyone knows.
Do people think that the Samsung ROMS de-bloated and stripped to minimum with a decent Kernel, have better battery life than say a AOSP ROM, with a custom Kernel?
Just a thought!?

Where are your results?
The maximum I ever achieved on a Samsung ROM was just under 7 hours screen time with stock battery. Max I've ever got on AOSP is 5 hours screen time. But I've just flashed a new kernel so I have yet to see if that makes a noticeable difference.

See that was my thought. I remember back in the GB days i always seemed to get more battery out of the Samsung lite ROMs than i did with CM7 etc.
I have a 2000Mah Battery and I'm only really seeing 1 day 14 hours on AOSP with 5 hours screen time.
On GB, i would have around 2 days, maybe a little more with the same screen time.

Your results look interesting. Im tempted to flash a Stock ROM (Wanam Lite) most probably and try that with NEAK Kernel, or Abyss (Never tried Abyss)
Battery 69% with 13h of use. Resurrection v1.5 with stock kernel. Awesome!!

Going to try Wanamlite.
Will strip more crap out of it as 235mb is still alot!
Will most probably add NEAK Kernel with Lulzctive tweaks and see what happens!
I still think stock ROM is better for battery life, for some reason!
At least with Vertumus' new theme its more or less similar looking

I was on stock, unrooted. Rarely on wifi since I have a mobile 3g plan. Use email and twitter often. Some surfing (rarely), play bit of games etc. I get 40+ hours out of it.
I just rooted, still stock (for now). Removed all the telco crap and am gonna freeze the useless stuff. Perhaps it will be better.
Only thing is i hate the Stock look, and even with vertumus theme its still not the same!
I hear good things about the LP9 Base.
Not sure whether to try Wanam's LP9 Or Dynamic Slim!

I love SpeedMod kernel. I've been using it with Foxhound ROMs (GB and now ICS) for a while. It just gives great battery life, and I've had no issues with it at all.
i get good batt life an iam on stock 2.3.5 gb but i was neva satisfied wiv custum roms life..but every phone is diff an depends on how u use it,may b custum or stock.....cheeerz
Combination of HYDR0G3NICS + Siyah 3.1rc6 gives me about 6-7 screen on time. Which is quite impressive. GPU + CPU UV. Tweaks. etc.
I am running AOKP and before the stocks kernels battery life was not too good now I am running NEAK with AOKP 5-1 and I wanted to know which has better battery life. Siyah was amazing for me on GB with UnNamed.
EDIT: I tested Siyah for a few days it was pretty bad even with underclocking 200 - 800 or 1000 and with undervolt. Sticking with NEAK again just wanted to know if NOOP + ONDEMAND would be better or NOOP + LAZY.

Not just that every phone is unique, it's that every user has a unique setup with different app usage pattern. Different apps behave differently and consume power differently; therefore, my setup may require very different kernel setups to get extended battery life than yours might. As he said above my post, your the best judge of what works for your setup, try them all and see what works for you.

Yes, but once again it varies per phone/user.
Also, what governor do you use? There's only 3 for neak and I've only used ondemand.

In N.E.A.K Options inside Recovery, you can enable two additional governors, as well as put Lionheart tweaks on the Conservative governor.
I find Lazy governor works well for me, but I'm still switching around. NEAK definitely gives me better performance, but seems to give me less battery life. More testing to perform!

How so? He asked about two different Kernels and how they performed. I advised "Both performed about the same" indicating I had installed both and my battery life was about the same. I don't see how I made a grammatical error in that.

i've been using siyah...i get a lot of lockups with neak..but i think its because i'm not using neak correctly.
in the options is it better to have all governors enabled (conservative, lionheart, lazy)? also i hear for cpu that ondemand with bfq is preferred.
also does anyone have sched_mc and ext4 boost checked?
May you please post your i/o schedulers, governor, the way you charge it, and other essential info?

I had the similar problems (random reboots, lockups) with neak (AOKP), while running great on siyah / CM9 kernels. not sure what's caused it - was too lazy to figure out, reverted to siyah.

I had Siyah and battery life was not that great. I would leave the phone idle over night (5-6hrs) and it would go down about 20-30 percent. On the other hand with this new Neak kernel it only went down 1 percent. I can def see an improvement in battery life.

Seems all of them are the best. Gonna flash them all together.
The absolute best battery you can get is with Kernels that have MMC_CAP_ERASE enabled.Trust me. It might take you a while to find one but when you do, woah. Be sure to do a few data wipes after you've flashed the said kernel to get the most optimal battery life. I promise you it works, I did that and haven't needed to charge my phone for over a month now.

Hi Guys,
I'm a new member so I cannot post in the Development Thread of the Super Nexus 2.0 ROM for the Galaxy S2 GT - I9100.
Galaxy S2's battery life is horrible as experienced by most people and I am no exception. So I was looking for a Good ROM with best battery life.
My search ended with Super Nexus 2.0 ROM. Its a very good and stable ROM. But its been almost a month since i installed the ROM but the battery life is almost the same as the Stock ROM. Tried some battery saver apps, but not satisfied. I would not like to change the ROM as its brilliant expect the battery life. So thinking of changing the kernel (Never done that before), so what do you guys think which Kernel is the best for Super Nexus 2.0 ROM and Battery Life.
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
I know we all hate the "What is the best..." threads. But after searching for answers on Siyah and Boeffla, I still can't make a decision on which kernel to use. I've previously used Siyah but recently I've seen a lot of power users start jumping ship to Boeffla. I'd like to get some feedback on folks who've used both kernels and the reason why they prefer one over another. What are the pros and cons of both kernels?
Thanks guys!
