Siyah kernel. Most popular kernel for sgs2 at the moment. Unified kernel, can be flashed on any Samsung based rom or aosp roms like miui and cm7.

Well, it depends on how wisely you undervolt and also make use of many no of features this kernel offers. I haven't used miui. So i don't know if something specific, like media scanner running endlessly or something that's causing battery drain.
I'm on gingermod rom. With siyah, battery is really good. See this (my own ) post about some of the features for saving battery in Siyah, that the dev has incorporated. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19231855&postcount=9615
Reviving an old thread.... now that MIUI hmade the jump to ICS.... which kernel do you recommend?

What works:
Boots
Touchscreen
Data (2G and 3G)
Calls/sms
Sensors
Wifi
Bluetooth
Camera (front/back, recording, panorama and taking pictures)
video playback
Gamepad
semi-working:

Rom v2: http://xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Sony+(Ericsson)/SE+Xperia+PLAY/ICX
Kernel: I recommend DooMKeRNeL ICS Beta posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573184
game launcher (new one!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1094759&d=1338378687 (thanks to vokal1992)
How to flash this rom:
First flash the kernel with fastboot (rename the files to boot.img) (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
then boot the phone
when it vibrates press back button
go to factory reset (it will wipe all your data!)
then go to flash zip from sd card - chose zip from sd card
chose the rom and flash it
flash the wifi fix (like above)
and reboot!
settup the phone
open game launcher and close it
power off the phone
flash game launcher (new one!)
reboot
and enjoy the rom!

Battery drain is kernel related, specifically the wifi drivers. Ideally, we need the source for the latest Sony kernel, to use to have custom kernels, with deep sleep fixed
Can't we use files from this rom on "our" BETA rom?

Kernel source should actually be out soon. KalleD said in the beta thread that source would be released in around a week - that was about a week ago so we should be seeing it any day now
Sony never stick to their deadlines

I need to fix a error from this rom
The battery is spent very quickly when shown a low percentage
Its annoying!
:crying:
The battery only lasts 5 minutes after the notification that appears of "connect the charger" and turn offs the phone
Thanks for your answers
Can use other FIREKERNEL as Black Hawk on this rom?
Sorry for my poorly english
First of all you have written, that it's Android 4.0.4 in title. But it's a2.3.6 ROM, that confused me

Try to calibrate your battery by deleting batterystats via CWM or just dowload the app "BatteryCalibration" from PlayStore. I'm not using this ROM, but it seems like android 4 eats up more battery than Gingerbread.

You CAN'T use these 2 kernels, cuz they're made for CM7 ROMs, so they won't work in Stock ROMs. But you can use "BatteryExtender" by LibiSC, I'ver never tested it, but it seems like it's working great and has a great improvement in battery life.

The rom was based in ktm stock
Battery Extender is the default kernel on this rom

I know that i cant use 2 kernel
I meant that if I can change it to blackhawk?

Well it's in the kernel man. Update it to latest 1.5 version and it'll be solved though 1.5 version is non-oc.

Hey guys..
I bought a galaxy tab 2 two weks ago from a friend who also used it for just 2 weeks !
It worked fine but recently I face a problem with the battery !
The battery drains to 40% after playing fifa 14 for just 1 hours with 30% brightness !
I searched for a solution in this forum and I read a threat about battery calibration which said that I shall charge it to 100% shutdown for an hour , restart it and use it until you get 40% battery and shut it down for 5 hours etc...
Anyway I tried the calibration method but it doesn't help and probably the situation get worst because this morning I used it until battery drained to 80% then I resart it and I found that battery drained to 34% !
I find many calibration app in googleplay but I'm not sure if it will help me in my situation or not !
So would anyone please help me solve this problem ?
thanks previously ( sorry for my bad english )

Well, calibration apps and doing it manually [ie .messing with the .bin] won't work due to it not being rooted. But on that note, I don't think you would have any reason to calibrate it. To my knowledge only flashing ROMs and things of the sort can cause it to be out of calibration. [not 100% sure though] Normaly You would have to charge to 100%, then let it die, without any charging. Go from 100% to 0% then 0 back to 100% in one charge.
Hope ya get it right. If anything ask him if he still has the receipt if he got it new. Could possibly use the warranty.

Well, try a calibration app 1st. If that doesn't work I don't how to "fix" it. You could do things to reduce battery drain though. Lowering the CPU max frequency, a powersave governor, undervolting the CPU, keep brightness to a minimum are good ways.

I tried 3 but it still the same ! I will be so thankful for you if you give me names of good apps for lowering the CPU frequency ! I'm actually starting using battery doctor ! Is it a good app ?
It helps to a degree, but I'm thinking your problem is the battery itself. Was it treated badly? Like leaving plugged in for long periods of time or left in really hot cars.
Also turn off location and Bluetooth

First thing you should know, you don't havta say thank you all the time, just click the Thanks button, that's what it's for.
And I actually installed PAC ROM today. It's an awesome ROM with a lot of cool features...
As for RAM usage, I dont think that should be a problem. The ROM should be optimised for your device, so it won't use 700mb at rest.
Give it a try, if you find it's slow or laggy, I can suggest more ROMs. :good:
(<---Remember to Thank me if I helped)
I would use CM10.1.3 for battery life, as I used to get 1% lose overnight. (I use SlimKat now which may be not as good in the battery department, but for me the latest OS is essential, but that's just me.)

Here's what a senior member said :
"Borther. I would like to quote one thing first of all; all kitkat based ROMs are battery suckers. So you will not get good battery backup as you might have seen in 4.1.2 or 4.2.2. Xposed framework consumes lot of RAM,i prefer not to use it. PAC ROM is just like another KITKAT ROMs that provides loads of features but with an inefficient battery backup. You will see huge battery drain yourself. I did tried all Kitkat based ROMs. Even all kitkat based ROMs have shuttering/noise sounds while playing some games like Real-Racing 3 etc. I suggest to go with Stock ROM 4.2.2 based on your region or cm 10.2 based ROMs(if available). Root it(if stock) and remove all the samsung bloatwares from it. Then you will not get any kind of battery drain or Lag while playing high-end games. But ultimately choice is all yours."
Thats why am still confused ! So what is the usage of ram at rest ?! You install pac rom kitkat or lower version ? What about battery , did it drain too fast ?!
And how did you install it please !? Am running sg tab 2 p3110 with SuperSU root and the latest version of philz as a custom recovery

I installed PAC(KitKat, latest nightly) on my GT-N7000(Galaxy Note) which has 778mb available RAM, and I get around 380mb used after clearing recents, and 355-ish after the phone has been at rest for some time. Mind you I haven't got too many apps installed which have background services, though. But I'd still say it's good RAM management.
But as for what you should do, I think you should take @iamashwin's advice...He knows what he's talking about. @lokesh.3440 suggested the stock option too, so you really should try it. :good:

Did you try the Night ELF's 10.1 lite version (Its the version other than experimental version)
Try that...your problem may get solved because i also faced the same problem while i was on Gingerbread many a times.
Change your kernal after once you flash any of the stock rom with its kernal.
Your problem may get solved as mine got solved when i encountered the same problem as yours.
I use to use the codename rom with nightELF's kernal
Hope this helps
hit thanks if you find this useful
So you say that i should install Night ELF's 10.1 lite version on Gin2kitkat ?

Ya my friend, give it a try.It worked for me so that might work for u too.
Also if u want to use a Gingerbread rom then Codename Is a good rom which u may try out if u like to
And install that kernal after you intsall the stock Gingerbread ftf of sony including the kernal.
Might solve any issues if your phone is having one.
Hope this helps
