Stock Nexus 4G Kernel with BLN support

As the title states, I'm looking for just a stock kernel with BLN support. My phone seems to dislike the modded kernels like netarchy and matr1x. I've tried the cfs and bfs variants and my battery life plummets. I've tried netarchy kernel without using the bln and still getting the same battery life.
Stock kernel on stock 2.3.4 my phone has 30+ hours of battery life and running a modded kernel battery life drops to 12-15 hours. Still a decent amount of life compared to my old evo. I've played with compiling my own kernel but can't seem to find any threads or how-to's on putting bln support into a kernel.

Unfortunately, the 'Stock' kernel just doesn't support the added hooks which Netarchy and its peers have added into their core.
With regards to your experience - have you been flashing modded roms, or strictly kernels? I agree that I can't claim 30+ hours on any of the mods, but I didn't experience that with the stock either (maybe 20-25 hours of low usage).
Flashing Netarchy 1.3.7 (or higher, CFS), along with undervolting (via Proton), 2G communication only, and maybe using the 'Conservative' governor may help you with batterylife.
Cheers, and Good Luck!

I was flashing kernels on the stock rom. I honestly like the bare google experience, just wish this damn phone had a notification light lol.
Oddly enough i've figured out that chompsms for some reason is a resources hog on modded kernels and roms. I removed chomp and google maps before flashing netarchy and battery life increased to 22-25hours which is livable for better notifications.

What's wrong with the kernels? You can adjust the voltages for optimal conditions in proton and that should be good....

I got Jame Bond last week http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949292 and it runs great. My batteries at 30 percent right now after 25 hours and bln's working fine. Definately recommend it.

honestly its have to adjust anything. i've been through multiple android devices from the g1 to the evo and 4-5 in between and i've loved tweaking every little thing. the nexus runs so well stock that fiddling with every little setting and mod just doesn't seem worth it to me.

I'm not trying to talk up my product, but have you tried the Matr1x kernel?

I feel exactly the same as you do, sedracer. The phone is very good stock, and I see no reason to use anything other than the stock kernel.
Regardless, I gave matr1x kernel a try and I love it. It is exactly what I was looking for. I can OC if I want to, and it has BLN. No FCs, no random reboots, no freezing. As far as I'm concerned, it's stock with OC and BLN enabled. Battery life is about the same as stock, although I haven't used it for more than a week or so.

Oh cool, you are talking about v5.0, right?

Actually, no. When I first downloaded it, it was version 4.5. Only had it over clocked to 1.2 though, so stability wasn't a problem. I'm going to D/L the newest kernel right now.

[Q] I need helpp with kernel??

i want to know which is the best kernel to use on my nexus s

There is no best, try them all out, find out what works best for you.
Follow the leader @corythug

every core has its own strong point and weak point.
our situation may not useful to you , so , you should try them all yourself

Just in case that you want some opinion on a specific kernel, i think you should try the franco.kernel:

It's the one i'm using (with the MIUI ROM) and i love it

Matr1x v11.0!!!!
talkin up my stuff, I know

franco.kernel 13Nov, left it on over the night only 3% battery, then only had to charge it at 23h30 PM cause i was playing backstab to "finish the battery", cause i still had more than 20%
(with BLN on, wifi 70% the day, 3G for 2~3hours only, governor ondemand, 100 - 1000 and medium use)
Ok that i had to reboot it one time due to a freeze, but impressive battery life anyway

Matr1x and Franco Kernel are some great kernel. Unfortunately Franco's kernel gets my nexus stuck in a bootloop with Oxygen 2.3.2 But Oxygen Kernel is not that bad either.

Definitive best kernel/rom combo for battery? NS4g

I use my ns4g pretty heavily so I need a rom and kernel optimized for battery life. I'm looking for 3+ hours screen on time, something the ics roms/kernels I've had havent quite delivered. i dont wanna downgrade to gb, but I'd like to find a good combo of battery life and stability...

try this ics kernel, http://goo.gl/QAuKi its Trinity TEUV(TEI6S). its undervolted, underclocked at 880mhz, and its bus/gpu is overclocked 10% at 220mhz. its fast and great on battery. i use it with cm9, but it should be good with any ics rom

You don't even know lol ive tried and tested that decent battery but I can't live without the mods... solid performance tho

With all the mods, they r all good as well (icup speedy, matr1x, sg-uv etc.). The new franco.kernel is released and it runs very nice. It doesn't have mods yet but the battery life and performance are super. Also like simms said, the barebones trinity kernels are the best in battery life.
I'm running NexusBeam with franco's latest and I got like 25 hours of battery after average use.

TEUV All the way for battery performance

Matr1x v15.0 is out, has all the features and is undervolted.
I get 20-25 hours out of battery with around 4-5 hours screen on time.

Do you think using running CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS with Matr1x 14.5CFS, i could get decent battery life? i'm asking cuz i want to install ROM on Gf's phone, she still running CM7 from when i did last time, but i don't want to put a rom that lacks features. i want one feature rich that will not suck on battery life

I can't get over 2 hours screen on time MAX at all anymore. I'm running Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast GB with GlaDOS 1.12 kernel undervolted to 880 MHz and 20% screen brightness. Even with a new Battery and a full wipe and clean install I still get terrible battery life. Anybody have any ideas? I'm dying here. Is my phone broken?

Best ROM and kernel at the moment?

I'm looking for something that's stable and to have as little bugs as possible. Also if possible can you tell me how much battery time you manage on the combination you suggest?

Right now I'm on nuhetri's v3.0.1 ROM using AirKernel 3.4 with voodoo colors. My battery would last about 18 - 20 Hours with medium usage (music, games, email...some browsing).
Haven't seen any issue with the ROM as of yet. Only thing that bugs me a bit is Airkernel green flashing screen when unlocking the phone...which I can live with
You can check bedalus work on all ICS ROMs:

Codename Android 1.4.0 with matr1x 17.5, stable as hell! about 15 hours with medium/heavy usage works for me!
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

CM9 Nightly 20120310 with standard kernel is stable and best battery life.

Euroskank CM9 Kang with Trinity T132 kernel, like 20 hours of battery life with awesome performance.

Im running a CyberGR MOD 9 Tornado, pretty amazing, very smooth, very fast, decent battery life. Only problem is some apps randomly stop responding and force close. Mainly Demon Hunter for me, but one or 2 more also had this happen at least once. Demon Hunter its so frequent the game becomes a hassle to play. So does anyone have any suggestions for a stable MOD that can alleviate this? Also I'm running Air Kernel 3.5

Codename Android 1.4.0 + Matr1x cfs 17.5

i had to adjust the voodoo sounds "screen v1 gamma hack" and raise the values until the green flash stopped?

Codename android or AOKP M4 with Matr1x 17.5. I get about 24 hours of decent usage with either.

I actually removed 'automatic brightness' to get this resolved. Once I unchecked, no more green flashing for me.

I am running Pixel Rom 1.6 lite touch with Air Kernel 3.6 (OC 110% 1100-100, Deep Idle on, MF w/screen off On)and Apex Launcher (flashed in CWM) and this may be the first combo to take me away from Oxygen 2.3.2 (1,000 hour uptime test in progress on another thread). Super stable, best battery life of an ICS ROM and fast.

I'm running Pixel Rom too, but without Air Kernel 3.6. How can i change the kernel ? I would like to use air kernel since everyone says it's the best..
Btw, is there a way I can get rid of the "google search bar" and use that space ? I mean, is there a ROM that can do that ? Or a fix ?

Thanks guys, flashed Codename Android 1.5.5 along with Matrix v18 and it's working pretty good so far, much better than stock, at least feature wise.
However, it may be just me, but I think it stutters slightly more often when doing stuff around the OS than before when I was stock... Do I have to do anything to the kernel settings or something like that?
I left the settings at default, except for deep idle which probably was a good idea to enable.

1.) Download Air Kernel to the root of the SD card.
2.) Reboot to Recovery.
3.) Nandroid Backup
4.) Wipe Cashe & Dalvik Cashe ONLY!!!!! DO NOT WIPE DATA.
5.) Install zip and Flash the new Kernel.
6.) Reboot
You can use NStools from the market to change the settings.

[Q] Best ics battery life rom/kernel?.

Hi, ive been searching trough isc roms and kernels trying to find one with a good battery life, but there isnt, they all talk about customizations, power, performance but not about battery life. I flashed CM9 with its own kernel and its nice, but it got crashed some times when i was websurffing and the battery life gets like 13hrs of standby and 3 hrs of usage (wifi, network, display), so i went back to GB stock. im not sure if its an isc problem or just becuase of CM. Well id like to know if there´s an ICS rom or kernel that gives me atleast 24hrs of standby and a good stability.
And what about the CM9 crashes?, its isc´s bugs?
Im wating for a JB release, as it seems to be bettter than ICS. Thanks for reading , and sorry for this questions, is just that xda is the best place to find information as im a newbie in android c:

try the hefe kernal or one of the newer ones posted by team Fahq. Might help with stability.
Then flash the battery mod posted by itzik2sh. That made a very noticeable difference for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985073
I was running ultragen with hefe kernel+itzik2sh's battery mod and was getting very very good battery life and the phone was stable.

Also changing the governor to SmartAssV2 can result in great battery life, even if my phone is clocked to 1.2 or 1.4 GHz.
But if you do not understand overclocking, do not try it, I read a couple articles before I actually OC'ed my phone.
If you want performance and battery life pertaining to kernel, you can try Hefe or Lightning Zap.
Other than that, you can try tweaks around OUR forums and see the results. You can also install Pimp My Rom to install tweaks.

, dont worry about overclock, i know all the risks and even CM9 from team acid gives you that option. But just let me know man, what is a governor?, never heard about that, and how much time you got of battery with that?

This thing called google brought me to a link to explain governors, so I thought I was paste it for you, even though in the time to type in your question you could googled it yourself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005306
As to say how much battery life? Doing what? On standby? With the screen on full brightness playing GTA? Connected to data all the time?
There is no answer to that, because everyone uses the phone differently. Obviously if I say I get 2 days out of my phone and someone else gets 2 hours, maybe I only sent 15 txt messages and they watched HD Youtube off data for 2 hours while their GPS was on.

Wifi and GPS use a lot of battery when always leave on. Turn it off when u don't need it. Hefe kernel seems to help with the battery drainage issue.

Dont get mad man. About the search, ive done that, but here i can find a better and smaller answer. And about the battery,as you suere read in my first post upside i was saying in standby and a light use, and how much it lasted for me (a very short timefor a new battery). Anyways, thanks for the link .
And thanks mike y, Ill try out your combination.

I'm currently on UltraGen with Hefe-KOD kernel. Great battery life with good performance. Attached screen shots is with lite usage. Came from AOKP Milestone 6 latest build. Great battery life as well. Will probably go back to AOKP in a few days.

That battery life is because he doesn't use his phone.

Ive noticed of that, but even when I was on CM9 i got only 15 hrs on standby, either way, what thing really provides that battery life?, Ultragen or Hefe kernel?
