Hey everyone!
First of all, I hope I'm writting in the right subforum.
Anyway, I've first rooted my OPX and flashed it with SultanROM about 2 or 3 months ago, with hopes of getting more out of my phone. Fast forward to the present time, and I've accumulated some knowledge on the whole ROM - Kernel tweaks and have changed now to CM13 ROM and flashed Arsenic Kernel after.
Then I found out Kernel Adiutor and saw that I can basically now tweak Arsenic even more, with many functions of the said app.
I just want to get a discussion going on what did you guys do to achieve better battery life ( i currently avg about 3-3,5h SOT), without sacrificing the performance too much, as all the options I have available in Kernel Adiutor are still a bit confusing to me.

Well, at first sight this seems to be a rather staightforward question with an obvious answer at hand. But if you dig deeper, than you'll find it more difficult to choose among the various possibilities. Here are some hints.
A. Roms
(1) Stock rom from Samsung (newest version is currently 2.3.6).
As far as I can tell and reading about other users experiences, it has the best battery running time. And performance wise I can't tell any disadvantage or lag either.
(2) Roms based on Ketuts kernel found in CF-Root.
(2.a) CF-Root b82 version and below
The system performance regarding battery and lag should be the same, because the kernels are stock (by Samsung) ones. But in reality the modder of the rom package may have used some scripting tweaks (init.d) or heavily themed the look. It may make the battery running time and/or the responsiveness of the system better or worse. But any modifications also bring the risk for bugs (wlan, sim-toolkit, ...).You should skip through the corresponding thread and find out.
(2.b) CF-Root b82.ex version and up
From here onwards Ketut has begun to tweak and build his own kernel based on the stock kernel configuration parameters (/proc/config.gz).
(3) Roms based on Cyanogenmod 7
This is an unofficial build of Cyanogenmod for the s5830.
It is well known, that it suffers under a battery drain issue. On the other hand you will get the most out of the device regarding lagfree performance. Recommended for heavy gamers at the cost of battery duration.
My recommendation is now that you goes from (1) to (3) and try them out to experience yourself, which package does really fullfills your/her needs. Because no one can tell you for sure, which rom is the best suited for you, because it is a matter of personal taste and preference.
Here you can find some introductionary materials into the world of modding to make the s5830 a better device accommodating to your needs.

B. Tweaks
(1) Make battery last a little bit longer.
If you're really serious about finding ways to extend the battery running time, than you should read the whole thread, because usefull informations are scattered and not only in the OP.

(2) Lagfree scripts (only applicable to rooted device with init.d enabled)
This scripts may also contain some tweaks, which will claim to also raising the battery running time of the device.

Hi folks, this is my first post so go easy on me if it's in the wrong place
I've been researching custom roms/kernels for hours today & yesterday, but need more advice. I initially had my sights set for cyanogenmod as it seems to remove most of samsung's bloatware, I love the minimal look and I'd like to have a pure android UI, but I've read so many posts on various sites now that it kills battery life.
So now I'm very interested in VillainRom 3.0 as this seems very stable and I think removes many of samsung's less than necessary apps & processes. Villain comes with the Ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernel, but is this the best combination? Could I flash a different kernel after installation to find better results for speed, stability & battery life? The CF-root, speedmod and Tiamat (withSuper Battery Charger) kernels all sound very promising...
I'd still like to use cyanogenmod if anyone can shed light on getting it running well, especially if the latest nightly is stable-ish with good performance.
I'd be interested to hear any other recommendations for battery saving roms, I'm aware it's a very subjective subject, but what I'm mainly looking for is increased battery life, stability and a reduction of unnecessary apps/processes (suppose this goes hand-in-hand with battery saving). And I don't mind quite a plain UI, I think the standard android without extra themes is quite stylish.
Thanks for reading!
Here are my phone details:
Samsung Galaxy S2 - GT-I9100
Android Version 2.3.5
Baseband - I900XXKI4
kernel - 2.6.35.7-I9199XWKJ1-CL647431 [email protected] #2
firmware -PDA:KJ1 / PHONE:KI4 / CSC:KJ1 (O2U)
CSC - I9100O2UKJ1
PS. I just read that SavagedZen kernel works well with CM7+, is this kernel designed for phones with a battery expansion? can it be installed after CM or is it included?
Thanks again for reading
ok i went with the latest CM nightly build, so far so good. Gonna start a new thread as this one is no longer about the villainrom
Hi,
I bought Oneplue Two, was running on the stock kernel for some time, then the battery life was way too bad. Then read a few posts, and suggestions to use the AK kernel. I flashed it, installed amplify,greenify to increase the batttery life but again, it reduced my battery life from bad to worse, now i am using Sandy Kernel, i need to know how do i tweak it, how to use synapse, how to use kernel auditor and what should i do to get good battery back up with out compromising the performance. And yeah would it reduce the heat on my device
PS : Noob in kernel and stuff please help:crying:
Greetings to Poco F1 users, a few days ago I began to be interested in kernel topics and began to study this topic in detail, but still I can not decide which kernel is better to install focusing on performance and autonomy? Tell me guys the best option.
So what exactly did you "study" in detail?
I am tried 3-4 kernel ı think twisted is good
Hi,
For me Sphinx is better at now.
Good luck.

LawRun-Kernel
I'd like to know which kernel's you're using (and propose) for one running LOS17.1 and as of now im running WW-kernel 0.25 by @yarpiin - but as He don't own the phone anymore, i'd like to switch it out for one that is going to be updated for the star2lte (exynos) and the the most needed is the Wireguard support in-kernel & stability + no battery-drainage & that the kernel needs to be updated kinda frequentuely.
Dunno how i make a voting system, i don't know the tags for it, so i'll just let this one be as is.
Searched the forums everywhere & i couldn't find any suiting response, so mods - please bear with me.
Please give me any advice here!
:good:
Best regards,

Personally i'm on RR + WhiteWolf kernel and i'm prolly gonna be satisfied for a while unless there is a barebones rom and kernel combo wich absolutely gets awesome battery life (i'm getting 3hours of SoT and about 4-5 days standby wich isn't tested for that long but my phone says it after not being used for a day)
