So I recently found out that franco kernel is no longer compatible with cyanogenmod 11. I would like to know which is more battery efficient. Having franco kernel with stock rom or cyanogenmod with the kernel that is shipped with it? Does anyone have experience in this?
battery is all about how you personally use your device, how you set it up, what apps you use, and mostly the quality of your phone/data signal. using either cm kernel or franco kernel can give you great battery life or terrible battery life. any kernel will give you great battery life or terrible battery life.

Both are good and have their (dis)advantages. No one can tell you whats best cause different users have different preferences and needs. Best is to try them out yourself and see what you like best.
I am aware of that. I admit that I am quite the power user which mostly results in a pretty bad battery life. I just wanted to know which option has the better potential with the same amount of usage. I guess I'll experiment with it myself then

im one of the heaviest users you will meet, yet i still see a minimum of 5h+ screen on time every day. set up your device right, and if you have a great signal you will have very hood battery life no matter what you use.
Combine rooted stock, Franco kernel and the Xposed framework plus it's various modules and you will get most of the Custom ROM features along with better battery life and stability. I'm very pleased with that combo.

Title says it all, I'm currently using PA and I'm not satisfied with performance.
none
try a different kernel. performance and battery doesn't come from Roms. performance from kernels, battery from your use. battery life all depends on your personal use, your personal setup, your apps installed, and the quality of your phone/data signal. everything else is minor battery-wise.

well, i personally dont use cm, so cant really recommend a cm kernel. i know cm users could recommend one. i hear elemental has a good cm kernel..

I use simple aosp with Franco kernel
Set the hotplug on Franco to 90 and governor to interactive
Now enjoy both performance and battery life

"Best" ROM.
There is no such thing as a best ROM. The question itself is ambiguous. "Best" is obviously a subjective term.
What I want from a ROM may well differ from what you want from a ROM, ergo - what is best for me could be worst for you.
If you are asking what the most popular ROMs are, or which ROMs people are using, you can see which threads stay around on the first few.pages (and have the most posts) in the Android Development or Original Android Development
forums. You can also see what other people are running by reading the What are you running on your Nexus 5 thread.
If you are asking which is the most stable, being a Nexus device - they're all pretty stable.
If you are asking which is best on Battery, ROMs only affect battery if they have a feature that is badly coded. You will likely be able to read about this in the ROM threads. ROMs do not impact battery life. The only impact to battery life are your apps, your settings, how you use the phone and mostly, environmental issues such as Phone Signal.
For tips about improving battery life, please read [Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
"Best" Kernel
Also, please note that as above, "best" is still subjective. 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.
Hope this helps

Hi ,
I have tried allot of roms and i have tried franco kernel. im trying the latest 'stable' version of nougat from today (AOSP)
My question is, and i know it has be asked before and it usually is preferences. What rom that is VERY STABLE, gives the best battery life without it crashing any apps?
The stock is OK but i don't get good battery life or stability of it atm (4.4.2). have tried 6.0 but it didn't run like i wanted it to run, felt a little slow, and i will probably feel the same about nougat definatly because its a little bit beta ish atm.
The roms that i like the best are the once that are almost completely empty with PICO Gapps + Google maps. no bloatware, no extra features, no special customization just stable, smooth, good battery life aosp lovelyness.
Will i get any benefits in trying a CAF rom? and how do i go to CAF? is it just installing a CAF kernel, rom and TWRP version?
are their any CAF roms that are truly empty (aosp like) ?
and is CAF still a thing because i notice CM left it behind a while ago.
Will playing around with stuff like smart launcher, which are a little bit more basic give me what i want? and Ram managing and phone cleaning software like Cleaner master? because it feels like it helps a little but i have read that it might not be very healthy for ur performance yet the 2GB seems a little bit of a bottleneck atm and it seems to give me a slight boost that i require from time to time when clearing the ram.
also will xposed give me addons etc that might help or is it the same thing as the cleaner master story?
Franco kernel did give me a better battery life. but still not 100% what i wanted (yet i am beginning to think that i might have hit the maximum battery life ,that my battery might be slightly worn out and might need a replacement)
Sorry if this question annoys people because i know there is allot of info to be found and people ask this allot but i can't really seem to find a 100% answers as i want em to be.
Thanks in advance
Tell me what options do i have to get the Lightweight, long battery life, fast simple phone that i desire (Mobile Data needs to be on 24/7)
Pure Nexus with Franco Kernel is a really great setup, especially if you use FKUpdater. Use the Battery Saver profile and the battery life is perfect, with decent enough performance. I've tried multiple CM13 CAF builds, but I don't think I could live without Franco Kernel.
what about security patches?

I agree, this setup is really great.... except. How do you apply the monthly security patches? Automatic OTA doesn't like SU or custom kernel or custom recovery. I can't seem to find the OTA images to sideload. So a full adb load of _everything_ followed by reinstallation and rerooting? I've looked all over the forum and couldn't find a good way to get those pesky security updates.
Hi, I'm using stock AOSP with ElementalX kernel and I find this team really good. Battery life is decent with a normal usage without games (I usually arrive at the end of the day) also with T2W features active, my nexus have more than 2 years so battery is not so young. The only problem is that the official ElementalX app is not free but doesn't cost so much. I've never tried franco but I've heard great things about it.
About the monthly update I followed this procedure and everything went fine: http://elementalx.org/how-to-install-android-monthly-security-updates/ I'm not 100% sure that it works with every kernel because you will reflash the stock kernel and ramdisk.

The best battery life I've ever had has been with Pure Nexus and Franco Kernel r89. But a CAF CM14 build should give good results too.
Use CM13 CAF builds. You never come back to AOSP again. Amazing performance and battery backup.
www.nyyu.tk/cm13
Or use Dirty Unicorns for best battery backup. 6hr SOT

I don't use franco kernal. I recommend ElementalX
If u want u can use franco. No problem
CandySix with HellsCore Kernel is also a awesome kit. One of the best ROMs in both (performance and battery) categories. The same about Mark Rom
DU + ElementalX personally given me 4h in use screent DU + Franco has also given me 4h

Link for CM 13 CAF builds. Use latest.
http://www.nyyu.tk/cm/
Link for Dirty Unicorns. Use Official ones.
https://download.dirtyunicorns.com/hammerhead/
And BTW i don't want to comment on which one is better [Dark CAF vs Nyyu CAF]. Both the developer are awesome in their work. Just Download both and find out which one is better.
Hey guys,
just wondering which Kernel you are using as a daily driver.
Personally, I flashed CleanSlate today because it offers a lot of useful features and combines performance with battery life.
I think the other kernels will do this also, but yes...
Thx for opinions!
I'm hopping back and forth between Franken and Flash
Using CleanSlate right now
[kernel]ElementalX.
vibration control, stock stability, and it works.
Stock, none of them have anything that stands out majorly to me and it sounds like most of them will screw up updates and quite likely have compatibility issues and require me to start over from scratch on my phone if the tiniest thing goes wrong.
Wondering also what kernels people are liking for battery
I am using ElementalX kernel 1.04 for battery life, but it is not really awesome. I think when a better kernel comes il will change that
This really needs to be stickied.
I was using Franken kernel for the longest achieving a 6+ hrs of SOT after every full charge.
I like flash n go, so i don't like a lot of features just a simplified kernel that's good on battery without the need for me to use kernel manager.
But then i flashed Franco's kernel.
So right now my 3 in rotation are Flash kernel, Franco and franken.
edit: it's between flash kernel and franken tbh for me, no shade on franco, it's a stable backup for me
BUMP
Using Franco right now, battery life is a big priority.
Stock, don't see any reason to change it, works perfectly
Franco kernel for battery life, but if SimpleGX kernel come in the future i will change for sure...
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
