(Q) Popular kernels? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I've been using faux kernel ever since I got my device. It just seemed to work and provide stability, smoothness and battery life. I like the app too.
But lately there has hardly been any updates, and my phone gets hot even when watching low quality YouTube videos, which in turn causes really bad battery drain. It's fine for light use, as I can easily get 4 hours+ s.o.t browsing Facebook and xda etc. Videos and games are a no no.
So, I want to try a more up to date and popular kernel.
My choices are Franco, Elemental and Trinity as they have the most xda thread views.
I want to know what's different about each one from peoples personal views. I'm not interested in which is "best".

Hi,
There is already a thread about kernels: Kernel discussions... You should find what you are looking for (or ask in the thread).
But better is still to test by yourself and make your own opinion.

Kernel does not affect battery life as much as you think, it depends way more on wakelocks/screen usage.
Of all the kernels I've tried on the Nexus 5, I've managed to get a whole day out of them with 3-4 hours of SoT and around 2 hours of music with the screen off. Deep sleep time with no wakelocks is also 1% battery loss over 12 hours.

I don't really have the time to test each kernel individually as doing so requires days if not weeks to draw out all the conclusions.
That thread you linked to returns an error "invalid thread id is 5"...

Battery Life

Have one of these, rooted, stock rom on Rogers (LTE).
The battery life seems inconsistent... Some days it seems fine but days like today with 11 hours off the charger, with the two highest battery culprits being android OS (46%) and android system (16%) the battery life is already at 26%.
Other days when its on my desk it uses nowhere near as much...

But seriously though, post this in q&a as you will not get reamed in the ___.
Answer: try one of the roms in this forum since that is what this forum is for, roms and development and such. They should be your answer since your current rom is filled with BS that sucks battery away my friend

If you are rooted and not afraid of flashing ROMs than get BeastMOD ROM. The name says it all. I m heavy user and i go for a day with full charge.

You talking about the TMo version? I did a search and I cant find a Skyrocket or Rogers version of a BeastMOD ROM.
BTW I get have been getting 34-37 hrs @ 20-15% on the BoneSTOCKeteer-v1.0 ROM with med to light use. Your mileage may vary, but stock ROM only lasted a day with the same use.
edit: the more you play with/use your phone the faster the battery is going to peter out no matter the ROM
I noticed that wifi has a big impact on battery life. I hit about 50% of battery life with it on in about 5 hours but with it off and moderate use I can get 2 days use.
Just a thought and I froze lots of the SNS syncing apps with TB. I dont use those since i use another program for FB.
I actually like the ATT Smart Wifi app. Shuts down wifi when not in use. I think the free version of Juice Defender doesn't do that.
I have now owned my 727R for 6 weeks, coming from an iphone 4. I am finding the battery life inconsistent from charge to charge and anywhere from barely adequate to downright poor. Maximum I have ever gotten was 26 hours with minimal use and minimum has been 10 hours with minimal use.
I have installed and use Juice defender, and have looked at a variety of apps such as cpu spy, cpu hound, traffic monitor. I have turned off notification as much as possible and all other tricks under the sun.
My phone does not seem to go to deep sleep often and a lot of times it shows as awake even though the screen was off for a while.
The straw that broke the camle was when I cmpared notes with my clleague who has a Galaxy S (I know, no 4g, no LTE, smaller csreen). But he is getting 90% battery life with wifi and bluetooth on after 7 hours 15 minutes (minimal use). In the same time period I am down to 60% with bluetooth off!
I am not planning on rooting the phone and using custom ROMS or Kernels right now.
What gives? What do I look at to improve battery life?
Thanks
i notice with out a lot of changes i get horrible horrible battery life. but with a custom rom like quick wiz. i turn screen down. wifi off. under clock it and use a battery saver plus task killer i get two days moderet (use
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I would suggest since Roger stock rom sucks the life out of the battery to root it and use faux123 kernel and Gideon's script to under clock it. Im using at&t stock rom rooted and faux123 kernel and I haven't had a bad battery day yet.. currently 12hrs moderate use 73% still.... not bad at all. Give it a try.. its not like it could any worse lol

It looks like this isn't available for Skyrocket.
1) Does it work like it should, and does it save battery, or is the battery savings negated by other junk running with it in the background? Reviews seem very mixed.
2) If you got it on a SR, how? Would pulling the APK from another device work?

I hated my skyrocket when I first got it because the battery sucked. Never could make it through a full day of average use. I did a search, found out how to root and install a custom rom and now I love it. I can go a full day and still have 20% left. All I can recommend is rooting and at least remove bloatware. I've never seen a single skyrocket user happy with their battery life on stock. Maybe sell or trade it for another iPhone.

Which current ROM / Kernel combo gives you the MOST battery life?

If you're going to include statistics, PLEASE also try to include your SCREEN ON TIME, BRIGHTNESS, general use, wifi and lte would be good too.
I'm currently on CleanROM 3.0 and love it but thinking of switching to Lite version. worth it for battery savings? halp?
"BEST OF" Threads are not allowed on XDA. It sucks, I know. Because it'd be nice if there could be a place for some discussion... a "this rom is nice but that rom has better battery life" kind of thing
CleanROM is a good ROM, and Scott is an active developer here in the forums. Not sure how much better battery life you'll get from the lite version. I would imagine it'd be a lot because bloatware never helps battery life.

i'm confused, i'm not allowed to ask people for recommendations on what ROM has given them these supposed 5-hours screen-on times? I get 2-3 hours and my brightness is at 20% with wifi on on cleanrom 3.0 and im worried I have a defective battery. what's wrong with this question?
Unfortunately XDA Rules don't allow us to say what is the "best" in a specific area. You can ask for what ROM people are running and what screen on time they are getting so that you can determine it yourself.
Even though I'm all for following the rules I'm kinda confused why this rule was ever passed. In the real world there are always "best" of things. It seems this is just an ego protecting type of rule. However it would cause people to fight and say "No I have the best" and etc. People can't handle freedom!

I slightly want to kill you, mostly out of jealousy but also for not mentioning your brightness level, LTE on/unavailable, SYNC on/off, usage etc.
But this is enough to make me flash lite tonight after a total discharge. i'm at 44% with 1 hour 30 minutes screen on time. 10 hours 30 mins normal time at 2/10 brightness. (one notch above lowest setting)
is it possible i have a defective battery? or is Lite really that much different?
What's the procedure for switching from Standard to Lite? Backup all apps with titanium, flash dalvik and data cache, install via clockworkmod, then perform a battery calibration?

It is possible on CleanRom, I have so many other apps running at the moment that I get no where near that anymore. When you look at what he is running in his screenshots besides the screen he hasnt used much else (3% talk time for example). Now I switched between all three of the cleanRoms through the earlier development and did not notice a huge drop from DE to Lite. I went back to DE because I like it stripped of sense and their is still the debloating. I use FB and twitter so I wasnt going to stay on Lite for long.
I get roughly 8-9 hours a day on 25% brightness 3hrs of screentime but as I said I generally have a lot of other apps running that drain my battery that you may not run. (WiFi on most of the time and in an LTE area). My main drain comes from commuting to work in NYC when the service keeps dropping, which i read drains your battery quicker and it def appears this way. pansi (text messaging app) tends to use a fair amount of cpu power which helps drain my battery as does Defender II (a game).
Personally unless you are going to flash the lite version it wont make that big of a difference, it will depend more on what apps/screen brightness you are going to use.

Your correct,I don't set my screen brightness it's auto,I also don't use social apps like Facebook, etc. I do quite a bit of browsing and flashing. I've made some backups and flashed some mods and some of the apps I use don't even show up, why they don't I have no clue. I don't play mobile games though, which probably take up a lot of usage. I've had so many phones and roms over the years tell a lite ROM fits my agenda. It's still to each own. Just know I'm not just sitting and looking at my screen for over 5 hour of use lol. I'm also in and have LTE which shows in screenshots.

I found the cleanroms have really great battery life. I gave up Samsung skyrocket because of the poor battery life but with this phone and with that rom in particular I was very impressed. With a full charge I can last all day with a good amount of use (phone calls, texts, auto syncing, and email) and still have 40% or so at days end.

Have you tried any of the other settings (performance/battery, batterysaver)? I'm currently using cleanrom DE, but I'm a little underwhelmed by the battery life. It could be that I wiped everything and spotify/chrome/redditnews is downloading everything fresh (they have been using quite a bit of data). I guess my usage these past two days have been a little out of the ordinary.
I'm very interested with sick sense though. The battery carrot is very enticing. I'm a bit worried about the journaling though. Will it make it difficult if I want to switch back to another rom?

I haven't tried the other profiles yet. I wanted to start off with this profile to see what this rom can really offer under the highest settings. Based on what others have said about the other profiles, the battery saver profile is where it's at if you want maximum battery life out of your phone. As far as flashing other roms and journaling, I don't have any experience doing that because this is my first rom. Also, I don't know if the disabled journaling on this rom impacts flashing other roms and am curious to know as well. Anybody knows if the disabled journaling will keep me from switching roms? I am new to this stuff so bear with me here....

[q] help me guys please!

I am going to get a Nexus S tomorrow, AND AS SOON AS I GET IT...BOOM! I Am gonna root it It has always been my favourite phone in terms of everything. Today over the net I read many complaints, about the Ram issue and the Battery issue after upgrade to Jellybean! Guys, can you suggest what would be the best Rom that would fix both the issues! I wanna play Hd games like NFS:MW, backstab, but I also want my battery to last atleast 10-11 hours! Help Me!
Carbon ROM is the best for daily usage...
GamerzROM is good for gaming..
Both, Marmite and devil's kernel are good for battery life...
However, Marmite kernel has a little better battery life compared to devil's better gaming

Thanks mate! You are using the Carbon Rom and the Marmite Kernel. how is the performance, I would rather listen to music max. 1-2hours a day, I surf the web very less, Have you tried playing any HD game with your config? and btw how much ram are you getting free bro? enuf to play a game, I mean it wont close down all of a sudden would it? and lastly I dnt always wanna play, just at times! not a hardcore gamer!
I don't think you'll be able to do any serious gaming on the nexus s. It just doesn't have the power to run a lot of those HD games. Hell it sometimes has trouble with temple run 2. As for the 10-11 battery life.... Unless you use an extended battery or don't touch your phone, your gonna find it difficult However the unofficial Carbon ROM (17th April one, there's a link to it floating round) with Marmite 8.5 bigmem is the fastest I've found, pretty much faultless in normal use. Helly bean, which comes with Devil kernel is really good as well, altho slightly slower for me YMMV. have fun with your new phone

And Hell Yeah! I surely have no complaints abt the phone! Its been 2years since its release, and if I bought it now, you surely know I must have something for it
and Mine has Upgraded to JB, I am giving the first charge for 7-8 hours, lets see how much battery do I get
http://goo.im/devs/Gingo21/Carbon/Crespo/CARBON-JB-EXP-17AVRIL2013-161548-crespo.zip
Here's the link to the unofficial carbon. My battery life is about 10-12 hours of not much use. That's airplane mode for 6 hours, 2 hours listening to music, and 2 hours browsing, the rest in my pocket. That's about 2 hours onscreen time, with no overclocking (my phone can't take it).
I have run the battery down to 0 in about 3 hours, constantly browsing on WiFi. My phone does have a "new" OEM battery tho, my battery life was even worse with the one that had been used for 2 years. BTW these "best ROM/kernel threads" are usually closed. I think there's a rule against it. Just flash a bunch of different ROMs and find which is best for you. Every phone is different.

[Q] whats everyones battery life??and on what rom??

Since i cant post in dev section yet, by being a noob i thought i would post this up,I was just wondering how everyone is setting up for battery life I am running moar and stock kernal no tweaks, except using the smart network and powersave toggles and im getting some of the best battery life I have ever had.im getting over 1 day with 60% still left and 2 hours screen on time I would have included a screen shot but im still new and trying to figure that out
Honestly bro it seems that your battery life is ok due to the fact that your screen on time is less than 3 hours. I am also on MOAR and the latest ktoonz kernel. His kernel if you are a noob as you say is a little confusing because he has so many options to tweak his kernel you will not know where to start first. A little reading and research and it will all feel at home once you read and research. I am personally getting around 19 hours of battery with around 6 hours of screen on time. So if I had only 2 hours of screen on time like you I would probably go into the days.

Major things that affect your battery life are not ROM related so it is pointless to compare ROMs. Your signal/usage/syncs/location/apps/brightness/setup are the contributors to battery life more than anything else.
Please do not start a ROM comparison thread as it is meaningless and will end up closing the thread.
Thanks

Anormal battery draining

Hi everybody !
I'm new on this forum, so please tell me if I do something wrong.
Since approximately one month I have problems with my Nexus 5's battery, and a poor screen-on time (+/- 45 min).
I run stock Lollipop 5.0, with ElementalX r70 kernel, and I have the MultiRom mod installed, which I use sometimes to try different ROMs.
I didn't notice differences between stock and custom ROMs, but I didn't try for a long time.
May someone be able to help me ?
My Nexus 5 is one year old, I hope I won't be obliged to change the battery.
Thank you.
The first way you need to do is checking your wakelock in detail by using some apps like GSam Battery Monitor, or Better Battery Stat, you can find them both in Play Store.
See the sticky, first four posts plus last few pages.
