I'm on cm12.1 15th may build because of the touch screen driver (i used to have touch issues) and the battery life of the rom is quite bad. i know the driver drains battery, but cm12.1 battery is bad anyway. is there any other roms that have the new driver? am i able to install the driver onto another rom? Thanks.

The driver is part of the kernel, not the ROM. This means every ROM can have it or removed, just by changing the kernel.

but its also the kernel that optimizes the battery isnt it? like if i had cm12.1 kernel on Euphoria it will have same battery?

It's not just the kernel alone, but yes, it has to do with the battery. The battery depends on the kernel config a customizations added into it.

Installed the ICS update... battery is a bit poor. Anyway to help it?
also, can you root and install custom recovery on 4.0.3?

Which ICS ROM?
Yes, root and custom recovery is available. Search the development section and you will find it. As for the battery life. You can install a custom kernel, and usually get more battery life.
The official update that was in the .zip. I'm hating the battery on this.
Custom Kernel might help on battery drain issue. Matr1x kernel seems to be a good choice for this.
You can also check bedalus work on battery drain:

Whenever I try and flash Franco R32 to any recent CM11 nightlies or M3, I brick the phone. It boots and sits with the Google logo on the screen. I heard a rumor CM broke compatibility with Franco. Can we expect an update from Franco? it's been awhile since we have seen an updated kernal. Suggested Roms or Kernels to use?

Battery is dead after 4 hours of gaming/browsing or standby?? Use Performance Control to set up the kernel right Android 4+ uses virtual ram taht may slow down the performance. Set swappiness in vm settings to 30. Keep in mind that zRam should be not more than 25% of the physical ram. Set sdcard read value to 512kb or 2048kb. Try different combinations of scheduler/governour. Don't overclock the cpu/gpu if the device already becomes hot.
In many cases the presetted kernel config is just kinda crappy and you can gain a lot by matching it to your needs

Hello community,
I am a rookie in the subject of kernels/roms and I would love to have some precious help from any1 that knows even the smallest of information. I recently installed CM kernel and CM nightly 0422. The thing is, I read in many forums (in here as well) that there is a kernel that can boost battery life to its max, Franco Kernel. But I also read that it is somehow incompatible with CM 10+ and causes bootloop if you install it with CM already in phone. What I can't understand is why can't I just simply replace CM kernel (like stock kernel was replaced by CM kernel) by Franco Kernel? What is the fact that I am missing?
ALL (and I mean ALL) help will be highly appreaciated, thanks for your time

first off.. there is no magic pill to give your phone for battery life. battery life mostly depends on your personal usage, your personal setup, your apps used, and most importantly the quality of your phone/data connection. everything else is minor for battery life, including kernels.
cm uses CAF as its base now, they went away from aosp(like most kernels here). so everything that is aosp based is not compatible with cm anymore. franco kernel is aosp based(most kernels are). there are a few kernels that are CAF based built just for cm and cm based roms.

Thanks for your time and your answer
First of all, I know for myself that there is no magic pill about battery life, I just read in too many threads that FK added a good portion of battery life (with same use of phone like when it had CM) ! Moreover it allows you to overclock (my) Nexus5 beyond 2.2GHz, something that CM doesn't allow you too (I know that overclocking kills battery, I just want to test something). What I don't understand is how can FK mess up with CM when both are different kernels and by installing FK over CM means that FK replaces CM. There is no CM in the end, only FK. Or not...? What have I understood wrong?
Thanks again

yes, franco would replace cm kernel if all worked right. but what you are doing is replacing cm kernel with franco kernel, but cm rom stays on your phone. franco kernel is incompatible with cm rom. since franco is aosp and cm is caf, your phone would never boot up all the way.

So, if I am getting your point right, since one is aosp and the other is caf THAT is the reason why CM doesn't uninstall and will exist together with franco? Is there a way to permanently delete CM in order to install franco? Maybe to go back to stock kernel then install FK?

its not about the kernel, its about the rom. they are different things. when you flash a kernel(any), it replaces the kernel thats on your phone(kernels come with roms, cm kernel with cm rom). cm rom includes cm kernel, both are built from caf source. franco kernel is aosp, it is not compatible with cm rom. it has nothing to do with cm kernel, it replaces cm kernel when flashed. but you will never boot up your phone because it isnt compatible with cm rom.

ok, finally I got it, thanks to you Last question... is there a way to get FK now or am I just locked to caf due to CM "for life"? which way (if there is any at all) in your opinion is the best way to go from CM to FK? maybe go back to stock rom/kernel then flash FK? Will this work?

no, they arent compatible at all. you can not use franco kernel with any cm based roms. you can change roms and use franco kernel with it, any aosp rom or even the stock rom. but cm isnt compatible at all with franko kernel.

If your looking for a good CAF kernel to run with a PAC or CM based ROM. I'd recommend the ElementalX CAF kernel. It's very stable, rich features, great performance and great battery life. Make sure to read the OP for directions and if you decide to try it out download the ElementalX R38 version with the aromma installer (not the express version) As with running any new kernel run it for a few days minimum to allow for it by on settle in.
There is another option for you to explore too - http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/cm11-users-heres-how-aospnon-caf-t2626961
This allows you to run a script that will basically De-CAF your rom and allow you to run a AOSP kernel on CM11ROMs.. Be sure to read the OP. It works with many CM11 and CM based ROMs, but not on all the newest versions. Definitely worth checking out.

Thanks for your interest and time! I will sure check both your ROM and the De-CAF script soon and post my opinion/experience ! For newbies like me that are reading this post, here is a quite enbrightening thread about CAF and qualcomm processors (although it's Reddit, it's quite explanatory).
Peace!

I have since 4 Weeks Superman Rom v3.0.1. Very nice Rom. Very fast. Very smooth. Many custom settings. Sad that this rom EOL.
I have installed the SuperStock Kernel, which in Aroma included. Sometimes i have a random reboot. Which Kernel is stable? I read in any xda Kernel threads a reboot here and a rebot there. Why? I need a stable kernel. Any idea?

I recommend moro kernel from my own experience I had never a problem with the latest one that is 7.1 has a great battery life and a beast performance, stable did not see any problem (even overclocked small kernels) actually it's better than the tunder one for me it drains a lot more battery than from moro just my thoughts ^^
