Hello everybody, I'm opening the thread just to read opinions from you all about the kernels that are currently available.
The one I've been using is void #echo, which in my humble opinion with the combination of a tweaked deadline scheduler and a lionheart governor provides great performance, battery life and minimum lag whatsoever.
I do understand that it depends on needs which shall be used, however, I would like to know which one to you guys works smoother and provides better performance / battery life.
I always aim for performance over battery life (I didn't buy a SGSII to get poor performance )
In terms of battery life, I can get it up to 22~23 hours on battery, using WCDMA only / HSPA+ during day and enabling airplane mode during night.
Fast Dormancy disabled and deep sleep working correctly (XXKL1).
I don't like the complexity of siyah and to be good on batt you have to tweak it more with UV and thing like that ,wish is not my style to make trying/errors on my brand new 600$phone !
I tried speed mod wish is very great actually with great overall perform
void echo is the one Im trying right now ! since 2 days its feel very strong and good on battery with good performance on games without getting the phone very hot
neak is good but its more a copy/past of the overall coders over wish is good in one sense but its a bit laggy in game with lucrative mod but defenatly one of my favorite kernel out there ! Im waiting for 1.3 to let simone correct some bugs
Siyah is the tweakers' heaven. You can fine tune every last bit of your phone.
I personally love void, it feels very fast and has good battery life.
I tried NEAK for a short time and it seemed fine but quite many report lag in games(using on demand governor seems to fix it though).
Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm waiting for N.E.A.K 1.3x too

as one of the posts above said siyah is the tweakers heaven..haha trust me i never used it before as i thought it was to complicated. but once you have done your reading and read other peoples posts and what they do to get the best out of the kernel you have a winner...all the rest look good i am not saying anything bad but for me from now on any rom i use siyah is coming with me due to the fact it has so many options to it and so much i can play around with i am in heaven
hope that helps...oh and on a side note i have been tempted to upgrade to a different rom but the current base i am using and with the kernel i have and the settings that i am using the only time i will actually jump ship is if one there is a stable cm9 out there by the amazing team hacksung. Two if Gokhanmoral does a siyah kernel for cm9 which i think will be when kernel sources are made available and three cause i have already my voodoo app all configured with my poweramp player to get the best sound possible i would be foolish to make the step at this moment of time...
So my advice for battery speedmod if you are not into tweaking alot with voltages and clock frequencies and if you want the best of both worlds then siyah
siyah 2.6.4.

Great feedback bro, I tried Siyah in the past but honestly when I used it I didn't know there were parameters to tweak (didn't check the REF documentation LOL).
Do you get smoother behavior / better performance / higher benchmark scores tweaking the parameters? In quadrant I get around 4604 with void.echo.
as my "personal" opinion...
since i instaled V3RTR3MA.V.4.0 rom, i've been using void#echo
couldn't ask for more its fast and stable... nothing too complicated and i could get 8186 in the quadrant benchmark... a really great kernel...
void echo.By far best kernel for common user,who doesn't want to do all kind of tweaks&stuff.By default is great.If you are into a litle tweaking, you can OC and UV without any issues.
I used it since it was released.No issues at all, battery friendly, great performance.
Trully a KISS principle follower.
My personal advice to all,avoid all roms&kernels that are heavily customized and have alot of useless "tweakes" and scripts on them.The more things on it, more chances of breaking up.
Look for simple builds,as close as it can be to stock,eye candy is not performance.
Jkay makes great themes wich you can apply to the rom.

100% agree most of the battery better and greater speed for these kernels is actually unproven and just advertising bumf .
I have used the kernels listed in the topic and in each case stock kernel has benchmarked better using multiple tests .

I agree with your opinion, and that's the reason why I use only Sammy Stock ROMs
I've flashed a number of roms and kernels in the past few months since May, best combination for me is usually a near stock rom, plus a stable kernel like Speedmod, they just work without needing any tweaking apart from custom set up that's it.
I don't generally like the number of tweaks in some roms but each to their own.
I find stock fine and fluid and stable enough without much problems.
Yeah..i get 6500+ without rawr and oc to 1600.you forget one thing,ALL other kernels have tweaked I/O scheduler enabled. Knzo says very clear in his thread.it's a way to cheat,that's why this tweak is not default on his kernel.
About rom,look for odexed.tornado2 by brotuck is one of the best around(odexed,pretty much stock,only useless apps removed from it).combined with jkay theme and coid echo...my s2 flies

Thanks for the suggestion dude! I'll take a look to it! Beside the removal of stock apps, what tweaks are included to achieve that score?
Best kernel so far for me is hardcore's speedmod.
Fast, first time I broke the 6000 barrier on Antutu benchmark without overclock. And great battery life, one full day + charging only by the end of day two, with normal use.
Normal use for me is making phone calls, surfing web and playing games sometimes, not more than 20min per "session". Turning wifi and 3g off when phone on standby. And switching to airplane mode overnight.
And yes I tried other kernels....

None.i dont flash a rom for benchmark scores.i flash it for how it works.those benchmarks cand be tricked,but whats the point?what do you preffer?a rom&kernel with high results on tests,but moves like crap,laggy,fc's with high battery drain or a phone that is snappy,smooth,fast,great battery life and works properly?

I have been using void echo kernel these past few days. But I switched to Speedmode because of an issue. My phone gets very hot once I backup my nand on CWM. Also sometimes when I play games. Do you guys have this issue too?

What is the Best Kernel for CM7 Nightlies
Hey guys you can post here what's the best kernel you guys have tried to your nightly CM7 rom, you may explain why.. and share you overclocking settings..
Is kernel XXXX good in performance and have good battery life?
If you dont experience black screens or other probs, you may share it to everyone who reads and visit this thread.
I think stock CM kernel with 122-729(interactive) mhz is the best.. but only bad thing is the camflick bug with OC, though the phone is working very smoothly even on 600 mhz.. Please suggest what governer should I use for best battery ?

there's no point in using another kernel with cm7 nightlies than the stock one...
btw you can you fserve's kernel for a good battery life...

Yes it was great.. but i noticed that ever i turn screen on, vertical lines appear before the lock screen.. i haven't encountered this on stock kernel.
Tried Franco's kernel to boost Fruit Ninja's performance. Didn't notice any difference, and got the unfortunate side effect of having my phone not coming back from sleep mode. Buttons would light up but the screen was dark. It would randomly come back up if I kept trying.
So far, CM7 kernel is good enough. Maybe it's just the P500 that isn't supposed to run games flawlessly.

same here ..i had that prob too with franco's ..looks like black screen
am using franco's kernel, the october version...its good, but the camera(stock) doesnt work, but 3rd party apps like lg camera, 360, etc..works just fine and yeah black screen bug i got it too, but disabling both screen off and on animation is okey, you just have to wait atleast 3 secs when unlocking, overall its okey still the best kernel and you can live with it.. by the way am using nightly no.16 and oc at max 672 and min 480 with interactiveX gov..i got 2days of normal usage, virtually no drain at standby, am just using gsm(2g checked) a little wifi, i think a total of 4hours, texting, few calls..and i dont play games since its battery hogger am glad to share mine
[KERNEL][GINGERBREAD]ta-gb-1.0 (28/01/2012)
I am using [KERNEL][GINGERBREAD]ta-gb-1.0 (28/01/2012) on nightly 20. I have no random reboots on receiving incoming calls.
Battery life is goo. I am on smartassv2 480/600. only problem is that camera flickers but snaps are okay.
good to here that.. but for me i think it would be great if some one who knows to modify the stock cm7 kernel.. like adding new governors like smartassV2 and interactiveX ..and give it a little tweaks.. it would be perfect then
Have been using Stock kernel from nightly #5 through to current run of nightly #31 I set O/C at 245/729 with ondemand and as long as my daughter doesn't get my phone and play games have had battery life up to 3 days. I leave wifi, data, gps disabled at all times unless I want to use them and I set screen at 0 bright indoors and set to 25% outside.
Adding the brightness controls and Data controls to the status bar makes it far easier to save battery by having the quick on/off button there. Funnily anyone that has used Stock 2.3.3 will tell you LG themselves implemented that too.
If anyone can get lupohirps Kernel from his ICS port to work on CM7 Nightly it has got SmartassV2 and a few other governors in it.

Why? His kernel is just for testing for blackscreen bug, which is fixed in CM kernels. And in his kernel wifi is not working and other things are basically stock(no modification)

Hey, I have my Galaxy note 2 on stock rom, 4.1.2. Odexed
I was wondering which is the best kernel that supports swaping external memory on internal
I really need your help, i dont know which kernel I should choose, I was going to try redpill kernel but people are saying that it has battery draining problems
Please help me, I baby my note 2 and I would rather die than seeing my note 2 having issues, and thats why I dont flash custom roms
Or, if there is a way to swap external mem on internal with some kind of app or OTHER WAY THAN A KERNEL
Thanks
You can use search button for that script. And you have to use kernel with init.d support.
perseus has best battery life with good performance, high costumisation by stweaks. agni best performance set by trickster mod problem is i can't set over the gpu... neak is good but i think it,s not so smooth. that was a shot review of some kernel. my choice at the time is agni
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Perseus really does have the best battery drain.
But it lags in games.
Redpill has the best audio engine. Scoobydoo
Some members like. Neak more. Wolfson
Adam is currently going into the right way... You could. Try adam... Seems to. Ne. Very good.
Every custom kernel supports init.d.
Just flash the mod exsd2internalsd..... And you're good to go

Stock is the best kernel, if you care about performance. Period.
But you'll realize that after using a fluid ROM like ARHD, with stock ROM performance of all kernels felt same to me. Still if I had to choose one I'd go for N.E.A.K, as it is pretty straightforward with nifty features, just if it had the exFAT support!

I don't know on what basis you're making this claim, but anyways it's been the exact opposite for me - Redpill, Perseus, Devil all have great fluidity (had to mess about with the settings of Perseus a bit to eliminate the initial lag - but with no other) - and I haven't tried OC/UV much. Not to mention the headphone/speaker amp and saturation prevention options, screen calibration etc. which you miss out on stock.

The basis was my own testing with Perseus, Red Pill and even Adam, for a pretty long time. Not a single one was as fast and fluid as stock, even with the modified settings of stock kernel found here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41902544&postcount=4602
Oh, and as I said, if you are on stock ROM you won't notice anything, that's why I used Perseus as long as I was on stock ROM, but since I moved to ARHD, there was no other option other than stock.
Yes, I agree there are some advantages of custom kernels, like saturation prevention as you said, but no way I was giving up very noticeable performance degradation for some extra features without which I am not bothered at all. And since I installed Viper there are some amplifications, so that point is unchecked from custom kernels advantage list.
PS: If you have no problem could you send me your settings of whatever kernel you are using? I wanna try once more and see. Please don't bother if that kernel doesn't support exFAT.

I never ever stayed stock except for the while I had to send it to service. Otherwise I used redpill (exFAT supported) and I've noticed no difference at all from when I had stock unrooted. What's your issue - are you experiencing lag with custom kernels? Or what?
Fair point regarding Viper (love it and use it always myself), but FLL tuning and DAC resampling options make it sound better at that. IMO.
I stay on Perseus, mainly because of its color calibration and all the Stweaks customization features. Now if I use stock kernel, I feel my screen is completly unrealistic, almost fluorescent lol
As for performances, the Note 2 is just powerful enough not to see any difference between kernels. People using ARHD will always tell you that stock kernel is the best for the following reason: Mike1986 says stock is the best and won't give support if you're using another kernel. Period.
I'm using ARHD, but can't stand the fake colors and the lack of customization provided by stock kernel (no GPU overclock for example, no CPU overclock, nothing you can do if your "whites" are pink or blue, etc)

What the hell does this suppose to mean? Mike says.....blah blah....I don't care what Mike says! And what support are you talking about? I was on Perseus while I was using A.R.H.D, one can flash any kernel on ARHD, what to support there?
It's my view, and I am quite sure of all the ARHD users too, the stock kernel gives much more fluid and lag free performance than any other kernel available. Everybody likes customization, but as I said not with the price of performance compromise.
And you can OC GPU/CPU with Tegrak on Stock kernel. Get your facts straight before typing some gibberish.
Perfect example of why "best ROM/kernel" threads are not allowed.

Not necessarily, if they want the best camera performance then they need to wait for OnePlus to release binaries for Nougat.
You could try messing with voltage (I'd only suggest slight adjustment), using the app Boeffla provides here: http://www.boeffla.de/index.php/downloads/boeffla-config-app
But I wouldn't recommend a super high overclock as the 810 can overheat pretty bad, also depending on your governor (I use elementalx)

If it's available for your kernel the Boeffla-Config app has it under the CPU tabs at the bottom.
But as Sungfive claims it's not available, it probably isn't, sorry if I was misleading. I remember now Boeffla even says in his thread he doesn't allow voltage control anymore in the kernel, stating that you can add it back and build yourself if you want it (not so simple of course).

Clean flash again the rom and the kernel
If you want better performance then don't overclock.
I was looking to flash a new kernel for my poco f1.
I search for a bit and find out that people consider those 2 the best one out there
Can someone explain me which one is better and why?
Sphinx has better performance but runs hotter than Franco this is because Sphinxes clocks are higher.
Franco has lower clocks so you will see minor stutters in games but it is clocked lower than stock. While only francos gpu is overclocked.
Both are stable in all applications no crashing.
it's not overclocked on franco. and it's a bad idea to overclock when it throttles anyway at load. it will make things worse. you could actually get better performance if you underclock...

so in your opinion which one is better for battery life?
I'LL go for franco anytime.. of the day.. both are superb in performance.. but im getting longer battery life with franco.
Franco is a great developer, buy he doenst use f1, just develop for it. Sphynx is an f1 user and his kernel is better polished, i have better battey with it. But there are lots of good kernels here, now im using shadow kernel, it is very good too
kernels don't really matter for battery life. unless using drivers with issues, which isn't a problem on a poco.
if you're using miui, debloat services and processes that constantly report to miui and wake your device.
limit apps push notification and background access. disable sync of non essential services.
personally i don't believe in using battery saving profiles and tweaks like LKT and messing with CPU governers and I/O scheds, but you can experiment with those if you need more battery at the expense of performance.
also try to optimize battery for any service/app you don't need realtime sync for (or don't need it to stay running in background). can also try the google play services gms doze module.
use adblocking browser like Bromite / hosts file to prevent ads from loading will also help battery times.
all of these have far greater effect on battery than kernel level tweaks or differences.
To be honest, the kernels I love are not the two. I actually use Shadow and Twisted Prime. I am currently using Twisted's kernel because, in my use-case, it actually provided me with better performance and overall battery. However, Shadow kernel is also good because you can add tweaks that will make it even better.
After being with franco kernel for quite a while.. im.now.trying the MALAKAS or MLX kernel.. and im telling you bro.. this one's damn smooth and effficient too.. wow. Just wow..

I'LL go for franco anytime.. of the day.. both are superb in performance.. but im getting longer battery life with franco.

Lol are you in dreams ?
Franco is the most power hungry kernel.
Evel the stock is better than it.
Without using any underclocking.
And after underclocking it gets like 2+ minutes in battery life and makes the phone's performance ****

What kernel do you recommend that is balanced in terms of battery life and performance?

What kind of tweaks..
Just wanna report that Twisted is the most balanced kernel that I've tried.
Sphinx kernel has a better performance than Franco, but the device will be hotter. If you're in a tropical country, the temperature may stay between 40°C-45°C in Sphinx. Franco saves a lot more battery, also low temperature, but I don't like the performance in games, but it is better than the stock kernel.

I was looking to flash a new kernel for my poco f1.
I search for a bit and find out that people consider those 2 the best one out there
Can someone explain me which one is better and why?

What is this? Some sort of competition? Ask your question in a more appropriate way whether you want better performance or better battery life. Both kernel serves different purpose.

Franco is a great developer, buy he doenst use f1, just develop for it. Sphynx is an f1 user and his kernel is better polished, i have better battey with it. But there are lots of good kernels here, now im using shadow kernel, it is very good too

That's quite the opposite. Francisco owns a Poco F1. Infact he was provided the unit by Xiaomi, afaik. On the other hand, Michael doesn't have a Poco F1. He owns a Dipper (Mi8) which share similar hardware and software with Poco F1.
