As the title says, which is the best combo rom (gingerbread roms only, I don't like ICS!) + kernel is the most battery friendly? (I'm on XM)
Now I'm on CM 7.2 with rage kernel but I' ve thought about flush 6.5
Thanks everybody!
Which phone?
From what I have heard, Spartan and Hybrom seem to be most battery-friendly GB ROMs, but I occured some bugs on Spartan and currently using stock system at all.

I don't like hybrom So is the stock a good choice too?
Hi, you should try NeroDroid with X kernel, I tried it and liked it a lot, but Im waiting for universal V2

Yea, stock is also great, if you root it and customize as much as you want.

Yup, if you don't wanna be dealing with bugs or stuff like that stick with stock like hes says
The only thing I didn't like about my stock is that battery didn't last long
Now I've flashed flush 6.5 ... I' ll say to you how it is about battery and performance
PS This is my girlfriend's phone, mine is the O1 so I can't understand what ''stock'' means

Test and report results...
Stock is basically what came with the phone.
Untouched ROM.
Tried all ROMS available for Xperia Mini with all possible kernels.
I think the best combination for Batter life is
NeroDroid Rom with X Kernel.
Set these frequencies
Min 134Mhz
Max 1.0 Ghz.
Smartassv2 Governor
I/O Schedulers - deadline
You are already the second who says to me to try nerodroid and x kernel...so...I'm doing it
Flush sucks, gps doesn't work and the developer doesn't want believe me

but X kernel do reboot my phone... mini pro, i dont know why!!! since tha day i installed it.
I use Clean 'n' Tweaked - 4.0.2.A.0.69 - v4.1 with X kernel 2.6.32.59
Don't forget to flash the apropriate x-kernel wlan module AFTER installing the target ROM in CWM.
Standby battery drain is around 1% every 3h without 3G. I use SetCPU to switch CPU frequencies and Governor when the display goes off:
Display on: CPU: 249 - 1017 Governor: smartassV2
Display off: CPU: 134 - 364 Governor: ondemand
This way i have great performace when i operate the Phone and low power consumption when using it as mp3 player.

I'm using Rage 2.8 on Spartan ROM 2.0
134Mhz-1Ghz smartassv2 or brazilianwax
Scheduler is SIO
I've used Xkernel before Rage 2.8 came out, because I felt it was more batt friendly. But with v2.8 I think that Rage is way better. Battery life is great!
Especially with Spartan ROM since it comes with minimal app load, and is tweaked and fast as hell
I never flashed my kernel before with my previous phone (htc desire).
It seems more important for these xperia phones, is this correct? I 'm currently the owner of a Mini Pro.

Some custom roms require custom kernels, that's why they are needed sometimes, or you can use em on stock rom to increase performance, battery life, to have recovery installed, etc...

This is Rage Kernel v2.9 for Xperia Mini / Mini Pro / Active / Live recompiled to run on FXP CM7.2.0 ROM from Freexperia Project here.
The boot image consists of kernel compiled from DuMOHsmol's Rage Kernel v2.9 source, FXP wi-fi driver and FXP ramdisk. It is tested running in FXP122 CM7.
The kernel is compiled using FXP default config, modified to enabled added features in Rage Kernel, so overall the features is similar to Rage Kernel v2.9 (see post #2 below)
Credits:
Many thanks to DuMOHsmol for Rage kernel source and DoomLord for providing the base/stock source.
Thanks for Freexperia Team for making such a great rom.
Thanks for wucinac, HUdasp, gandhar, Snoopo, & jakobxxl for initial testing and feedbacks.
This kernel will not be updated everyweek like FXP rom releases. It would only be updated if there's update in Rage Kernel or there's update in FXP ramdisk/ROM that requires changes in this kernel too.
I mainly compiled this kernel because it gives good battery life, so I haven't tested all features that Rage Kernel offer. Therefore I can't really confirm that those added features will work fine in CM7. What does work is the basic functionalities (like calls, wifi, bluetooth, camera, etc) and added cpu governors, overclocking options, and added i/o schedulers. What I haven't test: zram and swap.
And because I personally considered this kernel as some kind of a workaround for the battery drain issue in fxp kernel (see post #3 below), then if FXP team has fixed it, this kernel might be no longer needed.
As of version 2.6, changes from original Rage Kernel source are below:
4 files in Rage source replaced with files from FXP source :
- arch/arm/mach-msm/board-semc_mogami.c
- arch/arm/mach-msm/sdio_ctl.c
- drivers/mfd/marimba-codec.c
- drivers/misc/lm356x.c
Files sdio_ctl.c and marimba-codec.c is replaced to avoid compiling errors when using fxp defconfig. The file board-semc_mogami.c is replaced to fix touchscreen problem when using original file. File lm36x.c is replaced to fix force close problem in Torch app.
Another change is patch from here applied to fix the touchscreen issue.
Changes in version 2.7 are included as a patch files in the download post below.
Changes in version 2.8 & 2.9 are related only to cpufreq driver & cpu governors, so the patch from 2.7 can still be used, but the cpufreq part of the diff must be removed.
Version 2.7 / 2.8 / 2.9:
Please see all download links for Mini/Mini Pro/Active/LiveWithWalkman in this #75 post.
Flashing disclaimer applies! Use this kernel at your own risk.
How to use:
1. For the first time CM7 users: Flash the Freexperia CM7 kernel & Rom first, and make sure everything works fine, and then continue to step 2. For those that already have CM7 running, just begin at step 2.
2. Flash this kernel using fastboot.
3. Reboot to CWM and wipe cache
4. Reboot again.
Notes :
- This kernel is not supported in anyway by FXP team or original Rage maintainer DuMOHsmol. Anyone having problem, please don't ask them for support. Just ask in this thread & I'll try to figure it out.
- Battery life is not solely affected by the kernel. It can also be affected by apps/mods/tweaks used or applied in the rom. If battery drain is high, then please check what cause the wakelocks using apps like BetterBatteryStats here
- There are instances that using Google Maps or Latitude (or maybe other gps-related apps) would cause GpsLocationProvider keeping the phone awake, like the case in this post #82 and post #34. This situation can be diagnosed using that BetterBatteryStats app mentioned above. The workaround is to disable gps and reboot the phone.
- Of course, other than advantages, there are also disadvantages using this kernel in FXP cm7. Advantages including: a bit better battery life, more cpu governors, more i/o schedulers, etc. Disadvantages: I perceive sdcard i/o is somewhat slower, sometimes there's lag in video recorder, there might be broken features in future FXP releases, not supported by FXP team, and there might be other problems that haven't been encountered yet. If anyone experiencing more disadvantages than advantages using this kernel, then please consider using FXP kernel instead.
Features (quoted directly from DuMOHsmol's Rage Kernel original post here ) :
DuMOHsmol said:
This is my kernel, it's based on stock SE 4.0.2.A.0.74 kernel sources, with some things from DoomKernel by DooMLoRD (so go and say thanks to him, and other developers too).
It has:
- Overclock up to 2Ghz
- CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7
- Prerooting
- CPU Governors:
brazilianwax
smoothass
smartassV2
SavagedZen
interactiveX
lagfree
minmax
Scary
smartass
interactive
conservative
userspace
powersave
ondemand
perfomance
v2 added:
- Xperia Mini support
- Tun/tap interface enabled (VPN, ipv6)
- Swap support enabled
- Two way call recording support added
- I/O schedulers:
noop
anticipatory
deadline
cfq
bfq
vr
sio
v2.1 changed:
- disabled NFS and CIFS (battery drain fix from DoomKernel), let's see if it can really increase battery life.
v2.2 changed:
- moved to from 4.0.2.A.0.58 to 62 source, though I didn't see any changes
- added 0% battery workaround patch by Bazoocaze. I don't even know what it does but it seems to be something useful since everyone includes this in their kernels
- New cpufreq driver from DoomKernel. You can experience some problems with overclocking now (my phone becomes unstable at 1.8GHz now, instead of 2.0), but phone eats much less battery in sleep. I've also changed 1018Hz to 1024Hz and 249Hz to 245Hz because those new numbers looked wierd
v2.3 changed:
- moved back to 4.0.2.A.0.58 source (just to make sure that everything will work).
- updated version number in ramdisks to 62.
- removed 0% battery workaround patch (it's useless on our devices).
- reverted old cpufreq driver with small fix. It should be stable now and phone seems to eat less battery than in 2.1. (thanks himasura for lots of testing)
- salvaged some ram.
- enabled NTFS support.
- enabled usb-storage driver, so you don't need to manually load usb-storage.ko now.
- Version number now shows version of kernel (#23=2.3).
v2.4 changed:
- Now phone lights up blue led to show when you can enter recovery (thx to DooMLoRD).
- Minor changes in ramdisks.
- Enabled hid drivers for microsoft and a4tech.
v2.5 changed:
- Re-added CIFS
- Enabled ext4 support
- Added zram and cleancache drivers
- Added lulzactive governor
- Root fs now mounts as rw after boot.
v2.6 changed:
- removed lulzactive governor as it wasn't working properly (thx to kamarush and others for pointing that)
v2.7 changed:
- moved to sony 4.0.2.A.0.74 kernel sources (updated touchscreen driver)
- Increased GPU dedicated memory to 4MB
- Updated su binary in autoroot.
v2.8 changed:
- added new cpufreq driver at last (with CPU frequency fixup by DooMLoRD), battery drain is lower now. I left version 2.7 too for those who want higher overclock or have some problems with 2.8.
Everything else is similar to stock kernel for now.

A bit background:
I use FXP CM7 rom for my mini pro since release 049 and like it very much. One thing that made me keep switching back to stock rom was the high battery drain, because in my daily activities electric plug is not always readily available, so battery life is critical for me.
In fxp 052 I got a bit desperate and trying to use custom kernel based on stock from bbooff here, with fxp rom. The battery life is excellent, just like stock rom, but I encountered 2 problems: touchscreen sometimes become unresponsive and wifi was not working (even if I replaced wifi modules with stock).
Finally, I decide to learn how to compile android kernel, and I found that it is quite similar with compiling linux kernel, which I've frequently done to my computer and laptop.
So, I compiled kernels from 3 sources and compare the battery life in my mini pro. They are from DoomLord's official SE source, DuMOHsmol's Rage kernel source, and krizky82's X Kernel source. I also recompiled kernel from FXP kernel source using stock semc_mango_defconfig, to see if battery life is better. The conclusion is that best battery life is achieved using stock and Rage Kernel, and I've been using FXP with rage kernel since release 102 and haven't considered going back to stock rom again.
I posted in Rage Kernel thread to thank DuMOHsmol, and since then there's 3 xda members that ask me to share this kernel, so I make this thread.
I hope this could help those who want to use FXP CM7 and need a battery life that's close to what stock rom offer.
Note:
As of release 114/115, FXP kernel also has better power management and quite a good battery life. The power consumption difference between this rage kernel and fxp kernel is not as much as it used to be before. In case of broken features or any problem caused by using this kernel in FXP cm7 rom, then please consider using FXP kernel instead.

Okay, I'll check it. I might zip the wrong file. What is your device? I assume it is mini / st15? Because kernel for mini pro works fine in my mango. I'll check and if needed I will re-compile it.
Edit:
I think the problem was I incidentally used wrong ramdisk for mini kernel.
I have made a new kernel for mini, but it needs testing first. So, if anyone's willing to test it, please send me a PM. Thank you...
Edit:
Fixed. Link for mini updated.
Thank you!!
Im using cyanogen fxp 111
Only need flash the kernel?
Or need make a full wipe?

I have installed your kernel on my sk17i .. with FXP 111, but overclocking is set to 1024?
I was wondering which kernel was the best to use? I do not want to install a custom rom but have a CWM just to add the MODS and such. My choices so far are the:
FXP Kernel
Rage Kernel
X Kernel
Kamrush Kernel
Bbooff Kernel
Can anyone tell me which ones saves the most battery and the fastest? Thanks

As for the fastest Rage kernel supports upto 2Ghz Overclocking, however it's not advisable to scale the processor that high. You can scale upto 1.6Ghz safely though, and there is a version available which can scale safely to 1.6Ghz.
As for battery endurance, you know overclocking and battery life don't go hand in hand. However you can try several CPU governors. Here is an excellent guide
ttp://androidforums.com/xperia-mini-all-things-root/513426-android-cpu-governors-explained.html
Sorry man, can't post links yet.
Maybe you should choose boff kernel, since it only add root and cwm. If you dont need overclock and other things

X kernel supports also til 2Ghz.
My opinion, is that X kernel has more modifications to make it better than Rage Kernel.
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
I have used all those kernel you mentioned, but x kernel is awesome.
Kamrush Kernel is really good
I tried bbooff then rage and then x.
Went back to rage.
Hybroman v16 was released, flashed back x.
Never changed it since...
curently using rage kernel. I wil try x too.
bboof + hybrom this simple rom minimalis
X kernel is really good, less than 1% battery per hour, overclock, governors, schedulers, everything working
Krsh kernel is really good, less than 1% battery per hour, overclock, governors, schedulers, everything working
I really couldn't find a difference between those two kernels, X kernel is more recent, since kamarush is now doing ICS (and he's doing an excellent job )
bboof is really good, less than 1% battery per hour, everything working
pretty much stock, only allows root, cwm, etc. very good choice for hybrom. might be best for people who don't like to go too much into technical details
I'll go for Kamarush Kernel or Rage Kernel on stock ROM..
or else if u use Custom ROM like Hybrom, or sumthing else, just follow the suggested kernel there..for example i'll use Bbooff Kernel for Hybrom, and Kamarush Kernel for MiniCMSandwich..
Here i've tried compile kernel for Neo/V users. Thanks to kormatoes for asking me to make kernel for AOKP. Then later i decided to make for Stock ICS too. Thanks to those who help me test these kernel since i've owned Xperia Ray not Xperia Neo/V
[ XNeo AOKP v1.2.431 ] AOKP BASED ROM NEW
- vids record / playback fixed
[ XNeo ICS v2.1.431 ] ICS 4.0.4 NEW
[ XNeo Kernel V2.0 ] ICS BASED ROM NEW Build from 4.1.H.0.4 kernel source for Play ICS Beta
### LOST & FOUND ###
[ XNeo ICS v1.1 Repack ] ICS based rom
[ XNeo AOKP v1.1 ] AOKP ROM
NOTE: [For stock ICS ONLY] If you come from other kernel, please flash this modules using cwm
Updates
// XNeo ICS v2.0 - 4.1.H.0.4 source, patches: ZRAM, smartassv2
// XNeo ICS v1.1 Repack - re-added Intellidemand. swap/ext4 support. tun.ko module in /res/modules
// AOKP v1.1 - added Intellidemand gov (dont use with IO vr, caused reboot when screen off)
Intellidemand:
Intellidemand aka Intelligent Ondemand from Faux is yet another governor that's based on ondemand. Unlike what some users believe, this governor is not the replacement for OC Daemon (Having different governors for sleep and awake). The original intellidemand behaves differently according to GPU usage. When GPU is really busy (gaming, maps, benchmarking, etc) intellidemand behaves like ondemand. When GPU is 'idling' (or moderately busy), intellidemand limits max frequency to a step depending on frequencies available in your device/kernel for saving battery. This is called browsing mode. We can see some 'traces' of interactive governor here. Frequency scale-up decision is made based on idling time of CPU. Lower idling time (<20%) causes CPU to scale-up from current frequency. Frequency scale-down happens at steps=5% of max frequency. (This parameter is tunable only in conservative, among the popular governors)
To sum up, this is an intelligent ondemand that enters browsing mode to limit max frequency when GPU is idling, and (exits browsing mode) behaves like ondemand when GPU is busy; to deliver performance for gaming and such. Intellidemand does not jump to highest frequency when screen is off.

How to make simple ZRAM init.d script
1. Using Root Explorer, got to /sytem/etc/init.d/
2. press Menu then create new file
3. paste these in it
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sysctl -w vm.swappiness=40
echo "1" > /sys/block/zram0/reset
echo $((50*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0
4. close and save it as 60ZRAM
5. set permission to 777 or "rwxrwxrwx" (tick all)
6. take note: 50*1024*1024 = 50MB zram disksize. if you want to set 30MB, change 50 to 30.

asked that question on the topic AOKP Neo / v was wondering if your kernel has support for USB on the go, external memory, such as pen drive. Tested with mouse and pen drive worked but I can not seem to have the appropriate drivers. From what I saw in some threads here at XDA need these drivers.
I did the flash, I'm using the AOKP kormatoes, and so far everything is normal.

asked that question on the topic AOKP Neo / v was wondering if your kernel has support for USB on the go, external memory, such as pen drive. Tested with mouse and pen drive worked but I can not seem to have the appropriate drivers. From what I saw in some threads here at XDA need these drivers.

he using my kernel
@sirkay well cannot provide a logcat here, cause I already changed whole rom, just wanted to let you know i was trying on cm9 fxp115
I just tried this kernel on my Neo V with i-scream rom. I flashed it without wiping anything but wifi wasnt working. After that i made a factory reset and get an endless bootloop.
Was sounding like a good kernel but now i will try another. Thank you for your efforts.

KA15 + this kernel (don't know if it's the latest build, got it from sirkay directly):
Slow charging in the end is because of simultaneous video recording and GPS logging (will get even worse now because I added automatic bluetooth enabling ).

I'm using this kernel on I-Scream 10 and it working good so far, the only thing you have to do is flash stock kernel with stock WiFi modules reboot and then flash back to this kernel and woala WiFi is working. That is how I did it working when crossing from NightElf kernel to this one.

Sent from my Neo V using xda-developers app
I tried this ROM and I was curious of the benchmark score. But I got "only" 4300 in Antutu with CPU over clock 1,3 GHz.
I can't understand how you can get score above 6000, that's all. Still I keep this ROM flashed in my Neo V. Thanks

If you want 6000 score put ondemand governor, Sio scheduler oc upto 1.4 or above close all apps wait for mobile to cool down.. Now run the benchmark... BTW don't judge the Rom by benchmarks

Iron man 3 won't start on mine too. It doesn't work on any cm10 rom I guess,or at least for our device. But let's wait for an update for the game.

as deccen90 said don't judge the rom by benchmarks
and yes it's not possible to get a antutu score of 6000 with cpu at 1ghz and ondemand governor
even performance governor won't give you such a high score it's only possible by oc
the only kernel that gave such a high score without oc is 3.0.8 kernel

What Kernel,Rom u using?
what r u ur OC settings?
and btw hav u tried different kernels and RoMs?
Important-
Be really carefull when overclocking(as mentioned in many places)
cause ur battery will have more strain.
and because of that u will lose a lot of Ions/cells(science thing )
and that will decrease ur battery life very badly.
My EXPERIENCE

do this things
install wakelock detector to see which app is causing wakelocks and draining battery
change the governor to smartassh3 if your kernel supports it
in your post it's your kernel version not the name of the kernel

ur clock speeds are fine,
i suggest u try ROMs like Ultimate HD,Revolution ICS ,etc
if uve unlocked bootloader . u can try even more Roms and kernels.
and again, if uve unlocked - try suave kernel , fusion kernel,etc
and ya u should try wakelock
or
just simply see battery usage in settings(if u dint see)
and keep an eye on the governor u select
Please Click 'Thanks' if i helped
You should try following:
1. Changing CPU governor (e.g. switch to ondemand from performance, or to powersave, sometimes those default governors can be buggy, so try alternative like smartass)
2. Remove widgets from homescreen that you don't use, especially weather widget.
3. Turn off sync when you don't need it.
4. Change your brightness. If it is on max set it to half or automatic, you can turn it completely off, but then screen is unusable on daylight (my experience)
5. Turn off wifi or data when you don't use it.
You can also do some tweaking in easier way using Pimp My ROM from Play Store. If that still doesn't help, try different kernel.

i know battery stats are reset at full charge
but i think manually resetting may help if automatic resetting is not working for some reason
