Hi.
I will get my OPO soon and I am coming from Nexus 4.
I had AK kernel on the N4 and then switched to unleashed kernel. Last one is simply great.
Could you tell me if there is a similar kernel for the OPO?
With unleashed I have different governors for all cores, can set min/max different for each core. and excellent battery runtime.
I know I have to test myself but perhaps you could give me some hints which kernel to take...

Why not just read the kernel threads?? The features for each kernel are listed in the OP.

is there any kernels 4 2.3.3??
There are several good Gingerbread kernels for the Nexus S. My favorites are Franco's, Thalamus' (Snandlal revision), and a new Lynx kernel just released, which I am trying out even as we speak. Message me if you need help.
are any of these kernels voltage control friendly? I don't have a nexus s 4g, so I'm not up to date with the GB kernels

I don't use voltage control, but I believe the lynx kernel has that capability with nstools.

Wich one is the fastest (im in to speed)
Franco's seems to be the quickest, but the short time using the lynx kernel ... it isn't far behind, if at all. Try each for a few days, see how they perform on your set up.
I am using the CM11 M8 on my Nexus 5. What Kernels are compatible with it? I have been a big fan of CodeBlue and ElementalX but I am not sure if either of these work with CM11.
All CAF Kernels work with CM11. ElementalX works with cm. It has both AOSP and a CAF version. You need to flash the CAF one!

ElemenntalX works with CM...
but there's some problem with min frequency, for me it got stuck at 1100mhz and its not changing

The min frequency isn't stuck. When you touch the screen, flar2 has set the freq going up to around 1200mhz so that there isn't any lag. If it's indeed getting stuck for you, you must have installed a kernel tweaker app which is causing this. Been using ElementalX since ages without a hitch.

Not sure about the kernel in question, but I've absolutely seen SlimKat's kernel do that. No kernel tweaker app, just system monitor.
It seems minor hardware variations can cause only certain people to have issues with certain kernels. Or if there is an issue in the code, can be exacerbated by hardware variations.

Oh I see. I've seen quite a few people who complain about this frequency thing in the ElementalX thread as well and most of them had a tweaker installed so I thought it's an end user's error. You could be right though, not all phones are made the same.
I'm using Latest Chaos nightly. Performance/Battery life is amazing to my usage, so i'm recommending you to give it a chance. ElementalX is good too, but you should try them both for a day or two and then deside which one suits you best. You can grab it there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...-kernel-chaos-12-0-nxtweaks-app-13-0-t2551441
It's CAF kernel, so it's compatible with Cyanogenmod. Happy flashing
I'm on the latest CM11 nightly with chaos kernel stable 13.1 and I'm loving it. Performance is awesome and I'm right on track for a 5 hour screen on time with heavy usage.

Stock one.
depends ..with default setting ?
elementalx and uber for balance performance/battery
code_blue/franco for battery
I used Franco's on Kitkat, I am trying ElementalX for almost a week now on Lollipop. I heard that CodeBlue is a good contender. I would not test other kernels since it is fair to use them for at least 4-5 charges (a charge lasts about 2 days for me, that would mean 10 day ~ 2 weeks).
There is no such thing as the "Best" kernel. What we all want from a kernel is different. Again, many people have the misconception that Kernels affect battery life. Let's get this cleared up. Although Kernel devs will build in optimisations and efficiencies that will improve battery life, these are very, VERY tiny...and if 1 kernel has these optimisations, they likely all have.
People will often say "Kernel x is better than kernel y for battery life". This is actually wrong. Kernels respond to user settings. Setting up the governor to favour either battery life or performance is simple enough to do, you just have to do some learning. The reason people think Kernel x is better than y is because developers set their kernels up with their preferred governor settings. This is what we refer to as out-of-the-box settings. The out-of-the-box settings for kernel x may well produce better battery results than the out-of-the-box settings for kernel y, which favour performance. The fact is, you as the user have the ability to tune kernel x or y to perform the same, be that battery or performance - so start learning how to do this yourselves - that way, you can choose the kernel based on the FEATURES you want, and not the fictional performance benefits of one kernel over another.
I prefer to use elementalX
Hope this helps
which kernel settings affect battery life??
underclock?? so it's safe to say that if I don't play games with N5 i can set the maximum clock to 1,7 ghz?
undervolt?
Trinity is no longer supported as of Lollipop, Chaos only works on CAF-based ROMs i.e. CyanogenMod. As far as the other kernels are concerned, they're each configured by the devs with different default parameters which effect performance, battery life, etc. These parameters can be changed by the user meaning the experience with one can be replicated by others. It's really just a matter of personal preference because everyone uses their phone differently.

Nobody said it is "no longer supported", it just hasn't been done yet.

As every body knows there's a flurry of kernels coming out for moto g3 (2015) osprey
So I thought l should start a thread to compare and contrast the performance, battery life etc of these kernel..
Pls note that its not just 'best kernel' thread..
Pls share your experiences with screenshots and other details
Pls don't forget to mention your ROM too
Also a BIG thanks to all the kernel devolapers!!
Go crazy :beer:
Blu Spark r_92 for 5.1.1 is hands down the best kernel I've used. Its blu_active governor with hotplug, working with 1612mhz.... it made the best performing kernel I've found. In fact, I am the current world record holder on geekbench 3 for motog3's. I scored a 1689 multi-core a few days ago. With the stock Kernel, it will average about 525/1550 (single/multi)... with blu_spark, optimal settings, and a cool phone --- 550's/1680's. Heat has never been a problem for me with it. I use it all day, everyday. And with proper tweaking of the blu-active governor, I can get a full day's worth of use out of it. Even graphic intensive and CPU loaded games -- Real Racing 3 for instance, It runs smooth and under the radar as far as tempature throttling goes.
A little birdy told me that they were able to get 1.8ghz and 525mhz out of their moto g with tweaking of the blue spark kernel. I can not verify this. But I trust the source.
Anyways, as far as 6.0 kernels go.... X-Finity R3 has been my favorite so far. The choice of governors/tunables/hotplugs/IO schedulers.... is a tuners dream come true! I realize there's an R4 available, but after trying it twice downloaded, and installed clean, then installed dirty.... I get random reboots during in kind of use. Intensive, or dozing. R3, doesn't do this for me.
Anyways, I've found the R3 works well with Conservative Govenor, intelliplug conservative, hysteriesis of 12, threshold disabled, touch boost on @ 800mhz on cpu0 and cpu1, disabled on the 2 and 3. Further, I set the governor up as such: Down 50, ignore nice load 0, freq step 9, sampling down 1, sam rates 200000 and 200000, and up @ 95%. Then I put the minimum boost times @ 0ms. IO is deadline. 200 read expire, 7500 write expire. Fifo batch of 2, and writes starved 24.
GPU is 465max, 200min, simple on demand. But I check the GPU renders 2d under dev options.
With these settings... i can get amazing battery life, super fast performance, and efficient cpu management. I'm never running more cores than I need, running hot, lagging, etc.
So my question is this:
-Why did blu spark integrate OC into the cpu's.... and a rather large one at that -- about 260mhz or 20%! And yet, now we have 4 custom kernels -- squid, xfinity, optimus, and ultra.... and not one of them has overclocking?
It'd be impressive to see someone find a voltage/freq table that allows for 1.7 or even 1.8ghz out of these processors. I'd certainily be willing to test it first!

I need this zip too. Waiting for Marshmallow (not yet available in my country) I want to try a different kernel instead of the stock one.

Same here. R92 for 5.1.1 stock ROM. Thanks in advance.

flashhh said there will be no OC in his kernel, hoping squid will introduce it in his kernel
I flashed the zip from recovery. On the device's info tab the phone show me that blu_spark kernel is installed. But where I can manage the feature of the kernel, such as double tap to wake up?
@sivlab install Kernel Adiutor for example.
Thanks for the upload.
Best recommenced kernel for cm 13 with battery and performance? Right now on optimus kernel by Flashhh ! Does a decent job! Oly thing is that changes don't stick on reboot from the kernel auditor
Does blu Stark Kernel works on cm13 ?

It's a cm 12.1 kernel! But then you could try after making a nandroid backup! Be careful if your trying is all I could say!
IMO, it will result in bootloop! But I might be wrong!
What do you guys think of the best Kernel for our Oneplus 6?
For me it seems like the Flash Kernel works the best but i would like to hear your opinions
Edit:
I listed my Stuff in an Excel Spreadsheet, currently running Radioactive.
Obviously each kernel is unique in its blood sweat and tears. Just try them all and leave em on for a few weeks. Usually the older toolchains have better battery and more stability in my testing. The benefit of certain kernels are exculsive CPU scaling governors modded by the developer. Currently running pappschlumpf's Smurfkernel with smurfutil battery profile spectrum on havoc nightly. I look for stability though and for stock OOS all kernels run pretty solid. One thing you need to be sure is that the kernel manager is locking frequencies otherwise I find a kernel that allows this. Lately I've had some trouble on blu kernel

Ive tested Stock, Elemental X, Franco and Flash Kernel in Idle Drain per Hour and Antutu Score
and Flash got almost as much as Stock in Antutu while only using 2.9% per hour
100% radioactive kernel
