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)

I'm getting really bad battery life on cm9
Any suggestion for a battery friendly rom?
every rom runs differently on each phone so its hard to recomend one. have you tried a different kernel for cm9. change the govenors, io shedules, undervolt or underclock. also depends on your usage and apps installed. cm9 as a base should give you good battery life.
Can't say that there is a "Best" anything. As stated above roms have different outcomes depending on the phone. I am running Gubment Cheeze Build B1.1. I have had great battery life out of it. Extremely great life during sleep. I am hooked to wifi about 22 hours a day. I use bluetooth about 2 hours a day. I do not oc/uv .. or change anything about it... use it like it is right out of the box. If you want to try it .. I am sure you will like it.

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

I have a i9300 and I really like this ROM, has everything i need except one thing: My battery is going out pretty quickly compared to previous ROMs i used (Foxhound for example).
I want to keep using it, so is there a good way to get better battery life? I'm using the default kernel that comes with the install because I dont know which ones would work with this ROM.
Any sugestions guys?
Thanks!

You can try to flash a Kernel that supports underclocking and undervolting of your CPU like the Temasek Kernel. Also keep an eye on what causes the massive battery drain. You can install a CPU monitoring app to see what`s using your CPU the most.
Also what do you mean by battery drain? Do you make it through the day?

Thanks for the reply!
It's not really a drain, but I barely get through the day.. while with the same use i would end my day with 40% with foxhound.
In the normal battery control it says its 40% android use..
I've tried out a variety of kexec kernel roms on my xt912 and I can't seem to figure out how to get good battery life on any of them. I use cpu sleeper and hotplug but neither of these seem to help much I've also tried underclocking and using a custom kernel with subpar battery still. Any tips? I really like the added features but can't deal with the poor battery performance... Thanks for any suggestions!
For my kexec'ed phone, 24 hours is the limit....

Well generally battery life on kexec is worse than on stock kernels. But you might want to try JBX Kernel - it works great and gives great battery life with decent performance :]

I tried the JBX Kernel, the most recent hybrid version, and was getting pretty bad battery life and seemed to lose more battery with the screen off then on, what settings do you use?
Sacuraktive governor + sioplus scheduler, heavy undervolt (down to 830 mV), frequency lock at 100 mHz/1 gHz. You also need to remember that it's best to do a clean install on the first jbx kernel flash.

I have to disagree. My battery life is much more improved with cm 10.1 (hotplug and noop scheduler) than with stock kernel. Moto has much **** going on in the background
Well don't mistake stock kernel with stock rom. Battery life on debloated roms with stock kernels is still better than kexec.

I have not tried that so I can't give any statement but stock "rom"(retail.eu) with stock kernel doesnt have that good of battery life
Battery has been an issue since day one with the RAZR. Kexec has been a bit hungry compared to stock. Juice defender helps quite a bit.
