Hey guys,
I finally installed CM7 a few days a go (nightly #74), and I'm very pleased with it. The only downside, really, is the battery life. It's usable, but it drains at least 40% faster than Samsung-based ROMs.
Most of the power seems to be going to Cell Standby. I hear some of the custom kernels can improve things a lot.
Could those of you who have experimented with different kernels give me a good recommendation for a kernel and/or modem release which will work well? I just don't have time to spend hours digging through hundred-page forum posts these days...
Thanks in advance!
Glitch is good. Battery will be a bit better with a custom kernel but it still won't be as good as Froyo. Just the way it is.
What's your cell standby reading? Percentage of battery use? Also of android system and OS,?

i recommend NEO 9 v5 it has great battery life and its really smooth it comes with led version and no-led
When I ran CM7 Nightlies a while back I always stayed on the Stock Kernel. I guess that since Kernels aren't updated "Nightly" like the Nightlies you shouldn't use other ones. Just my personal preference.
Stock kernel is more stable but other kernels give better battery an there much smoother

Hi Guys
Do you know what is the best ROM to improve colors, gamma and general image quality. At the moment I have Slim Rom JB 4.3 and I'm not fully satisfied. The previous versions had that option. The new one does not. Any ideas?
i don't think s2 have 4.3 rom

there is a couple actualy coz i flashed some already but none of them had the options also none of them had BLN. I don't really care about 4.3 it can be 4.2 or 4.1 as long as it has the funcions
it would be good if it had BLN
Dorimanx kernel has BLN and gramma fix and sharpness fix ;D

i would personally recommend dorimanx mate
Flash the latest one and You will love it
Has all the gamma settings and bln too
Thanks guys. I tried Dorimanx and it's really cool but you can only adjust blue and red and gamma only brightens the screen. Both light colors and black. What I'm trying to achieve is to have more vivid colors good contrast deep blacks and shiny whites... and dorimanx can't realy do that. It does have BLN which is good
Hi,
i've just heard that my s3 isn't going to recieve kitkat so it is time to flash a beautiful custom rom. I definitly want cm11 on my phone (temasek or m6). But i'm struggling to find a find a kernel that solve the biggest issue i got with my s3, it pronounced green tint. I now it is because oled greens use less battery and last longer but i really want accurate color reproduction (maybe even a bit oversaturated). If i remember correctly andreilux did a full callibration in its perseus kernel but that kernel isn't compatible with cm 11. Anyone who nows a good kernel that got that implemented?
i would recommend this one, using it by myself. It got vast amount of color settings under mDNIe tab. Latest version doesn't include STweaks for kernel control, but you can download one from Playstore (I think it is the best for this kernel).

Hi. Sorry for my bad English.
Can someone tell me his experience with Roms? (Please) I'm lookin for a good, fast, stable and smooth ROM. I don't care the version. It can be GB, ICS, JB or KK. I want it faster and stable. I have tried carbon, slim, smooth, miui.... And others.... And all of them turns lag after a week of use. I'm on MIUI right now and its eye candy but very lag.
Will be useful to make a pool or a category list of fast roms to lag but eyecandy. We love Roms with a lot of new stuff and features but we really need a stable and daily driver rom and the stock ROM is lag too.
Thank you!

+1 - Agree with Welder!
For JB, my go to....try the Aviator series: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...or-aokp-v104-061613-200-test-available-071013 There are actually 3 ROMS AOKP, Cyanogen and Gummy. I like the AOKP as Gapps is built in. I have this as a backup on my DD.

If al of your ROMS start getting 'laggy' after about a week of use, maybe you should look into Greenify, or not downloading some apps. You might have a lot of processes running in the background that might be making it 'laggy' because our phones only have 1gig of memory (which actually isn't a bad thing, but still).
Of all KK ROMS that I've been using in the past 3-4 months, I haven't had any issues with lagging. Maybe some FCing, but from my own mistake of trying to tinker with them too much (kernel settings). I would look into cleaning up your PHONE first, THEN look into finding your 'perfect' ROM because everybody is going to have their own opinion on what ROM is best. I, too, have used Carbon (now), Slim, LS, Cyan, Axxiom, and a few others, and they all work great (IMHO). Do your reading. Look at what people are saying. Support your favorite dev.
I'm using ParanoidAndroid for 2-3 months. I didn't do clean install only in the begginning. Installed stable OTAs, and some beta OTAs too. I didn't notice any lag or problem.
There were some problems with some versions, but if you wait 3-4 days after every release and check the forums for any complains, you skip the problematic version and you will be fine.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I'm using axiom and like it, it's fast and smooth. I'll try greenify too. Really liked miui but it's so lag. I don't want to tweak kernel, I'm afraid with that going to try this ROM for a while and I'll let you know what happens. Thank you.

I don't think that's a bad choice...AXXION, version 1.6.0 will be out today-ish. I would wait to see how that works. The Devs added a ton of stuff and there was a total Re-Do. Might be a Bug or Two crashing around I am totally enjoying Gummy! Lots of good stuff for us lucky users!
Paranoid android is Extremely smooth and snappy.
Lol guys thanks for recommending us!!!!!!! THANKSS!!! @MauriceFdo I am de Axxion founder along @ThatKawaiiGuy. We are glad to hear that!

Axxion is built with Linaro 4.9, so it's smooth and fast.
It also looks very nice with Crimson Mode
Axxion works great. I've updated to 1.60 and feels good. I have a question.... Why Google play store looks different on MIUI ROM? I like it. Anyway thanks @siracuervo and @ThatKawaiiGuy for your great work!
I need the best combo of rom and kernel ! recently got back into the android game after having an s3 and then switching to a 6s plus now I'm back, with the oneplus two
I need help on choosing the rom and kernel, would prefer for the rom to be stable and the kernel to give me great battery life
right now I'm on aospa 6.0.1 it's alright
I was so excited to get back into roms and android that I didn't even last 3 hours on oxygenOS
OOS3 is actually pretty decent. Especially if you get a ROM that is a modified version of OOS like Oxydium. Exodus is also another good choice for speed, battery, and reliability. So far though, in my experience, it's pretty hard to go wrong with any of the ROMs available for the OP2 though. CM based ROMs have seemed to not get quite as good battery as OOS based or Exodus for me, but they have more features of course. Good luck on your search!
Official cm13 with boeffla kernel is my default setup. But using aospa and resurrection remix (benschold kernel) once in a while )
Waiting to see more features in aospa

I think the best rom at the moment is Oxydium
Good battery, Android N-designed, great performance and no heating

The bad part of oxydium, is not upgraded to the ota release. Happy user of cm13 unofficial, as daily.

The battery life is good, better than cm13, 4-5h sot
Now i'm using PA and it's more smooth than oxydium but camera is not as good as oxydium.
So far mm ROMs are still buggy and things are getting a lot better but the best ROM at least for me was VisionX but its a lollipop ROM
For me RR is still best in battery life

Latest
6h / 7h is achievable
Mostly i have 2 days of standby with 4,5 / 5h sot
Last couple of days I'm thinking about switching from OOS3 based back to CM13 or AOSP or PA. So I'm going through threads and I'm kinda shocked to see how most of them are now plagued by bugs which seem to have nothing to do with our devs, but it seems like they are getting that from sources, CyanogenMod mostly. Also, I don't remember any problems from couple of weeks (months?) ago! Like no notifications (dead silent phone), alert slider not working, echo in conversations, problems with camera, heavy on battery... before I had excellent battery life, notification and slider worked better than in OOS3, ROM was better with each version... any thoughts on that?
hi,
AOKP + Boeffla Kernel at the BEST! :good:
All ROMs and every kernel is best:good:

Can easily confirm, Resurrection Remix has given me much better battery life than OOS3 with my usage. Constant 5h SOT on LTE, 6+ on WiFi
CM13 Unofficial by Seraph08 + Boeffla Kernel works pretty well for me. I get a Standby time of almost 30 hours and SOT of over 4 hours. I used to barely manage 3 hours SOT earlier with OOS3.

I have been wondering the exact same thing.. I flashed PA June and it's been o.k. but has some issue with speaker / mic that weren't present in other MM rom's I've tried..
I went to Exodus. Feels great, works great, but with Trebuchet launcher as AOSP is very limited. I could recommend it easily
