I have been looking on the forums at several operating systems for the Nexus "s" and i really dont know which one is really good with battery and with a smooth snap performance, there's just so many to choose from and its confusing to me as im a new user to android and learning it all.
anyone have suggestion for a modern good working kernal which isnt in test form, thats great with battery and has snap smooth performance, iv seen good ones on the forum, but as i said im new and not certain and rather experienced user opinions.
Thank you.
oh, and i saw a thread, a user said he lost only 3% of battery on idle throughout the night using a certain operating system, but i cant remember the thread..

I would go with the ICUP Kernel Edition (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401455)
Good battery life and smooth performance.
Your best course of action is to not create a thread asking for people to do things for you.
Go sort the Android Development forum by Stats and find the most popular kernel. Read every word of the OP and however much you possibly can of the thread itself. It might take a day or two just to properly educate yourself and get some background. Flash the kernel, use it for several days, and then and only then make an assessment of battery life and performance. After you have done this, go back to the kernel's thread and make a post documenting your experience and what did and did not work for you.
You've registered this month, you have 5 posts, and you've created 2 threads that are completely pointless. Try to contribute something. What I outlined above is possible for anyone no matter what their knowledge level.

i understand what you said, but I'm extremely new to the whole android saga, thus why im asking around, and have been researching, i just thought ill ask the forum for some advice. sorry.
Are there performance benefits to be gained by using Franco Kernel (or Trinity Kernel) on stock 4.4.2, but not using any software to tweak things?
This is not a thread about which is better, I'm simply wondering if you necessarily must tweak things in order to take advantage of the kernel, or if it can provide performance benefits automatically.
Tweak to take full advantage but there is still advantage to be had by not tweaking, though why anyone would stop there is beyond me

Any examples of the benefits? I've been hacking my Android phones for a few years, and I want to go with a mostly stock experience for a while — to me that means not fiddling around with any settings. But simply flashing a kernel is basically one quick step that I don't need to manage, it's something I can do in about 1 minute with no research, and never think about again. So if it offers performance gains (particularly batter life) without needing to tweak things, then that's really useful to me.
Never flash a kernel without research. If you don't understand the benefits of something and wont research then don't do it. We wont spoon feed you

Wow really? You're being a typical XDA forums douchebag. You forgot that part of the research process is finding answers, and a key tool in the answer-finding process is the question-asking process. You seem to have forgotten that you're in THE Q&A FORUM. If you're not interested in answering the question, then go away.
And do yourself a favor so you don't look like a jerk in the future: don't assume that people aren't also doing the reading portion of research, just because they're also taking advantage of the Q&A portion.
Hi,
All the kernels are tweaked to work out of the box better than stock (battery life and "performance" normally), at least they offer a good balance. Flash and forgot. But it's right that you can find some more fine settings that suits more your needs...
Try one or other and see for a few days with the default settings...

Thank you. Last question: know whether I need to have root in order for the passive benefits to manifest?

You're the one who said no research. I just repeated you.
It also says in the rules to use search before asking questions. Search does the research portion as the answers already exist. Im not being a jerk. You said

Im merely warning you that flashing things without doing research (as you said) is dangerous.

That's fine. I've been hacking my phones since 2010 and I haven't had a problem yet. I was simply asking whether I need to manually tweak things in order to gain performance benefits from a custom kernel. As you and someone else pointed out, the answer is no — great. My final question is whether I need other things in order to experience those passive gains (things like root, SuperSU, BusyBox, etc.), or if they will just occur automatically.
You would only really need root to tweak the existing settings of a kernel.
So to try and simplify what I mean .. stock kernel has settings x. Custom kernel has settings y. Custom kernel also allows tweaking of settings y to settings z, but these tweaks require scripts or apps that need root.... but settings y requires nothing outside the kernels. These are the kernel defaults. Only deviation from defaults requires root

You're kidding right, you want to flash a kernel and you have to ask about other things, like root?
This phone was born to be rooted, do it. Busybox and SuperSU Busybox will not help out with kernel tweaks, Superuser just grants root access for programs that are modifying important stuff. eg; greenify app makes it so that apps do not run in the background and waste your battery, it ask you for permission to allow it to do what it was intended to do. If you click on the supersu app you wil see a list of apps that you have granted "root access" too.

The biggest benefit of using a custom kernal is the ability to tweak settings and parameters you don't have access to when running the stock kernel. Even if you don't change any of the kernel settings, most developers will claim their kernel offers a better balance between performance and energy efficiency out of the box. How perceptible the difference is, is certainly subjective.

You don't need to be rooted to flash a custom kernel, but you need root to change settings in the kernel using an app like FKU or Trickster.
Thanks everyone
damn i always thought u need root to flash kernels and stuff, if u flash and NOT have root, it seems unbenificary spellin i know lol

Lol, I've been in threads where recognized contributors didn't even know you could flash things without root. It seems to be a popular misunderstanding that you need root to mess with your phone, so don't feel embarrassed. I actually try to avoid root unless an app I use requires it, or obviously when custom ROMs include it by default.

90% of why I root my phones is in order to have full access to the file system. I don't often have to go into the data/app or system/app folder (among others) or tweak the build.prop, but when I do, it's nice not to have any limitations in place.
EDIT: now I'm picturing the Dos Equis guy after that last sentence
Rather than overclocking, I think Franco is about improving battery life without sacrificing the qualitative performance that is achieved on stock.

Might be a silly question, but what is the best custom rom and kernel for battery life?
Anyone have any ideas? I'm using stock rom and kernel
Nevermind that it may a silly question, its against the rules. Theres a big sticky thread at the top of this forum telling you not to post this thread
Truth is what's good for me might not be good for you. Experiment yourself

Oh, so sorry, plz close my thread
battery life has everything to do with how you personally use your phone, how you personally set it up, how you personally manage your apps, and the quality of phone/data signal you personally get. battery life can be great on any kernel and on any rom, but it depends on you for battery life.
With all due respect, I appreciate everyone's work, all of you devs are awesome :good:
Whether having the best features or ease of tweaking, since so many roms+kernels are available, this leads me to the question
What are your guys Favorite Nexus 5 (Hammerhead) ROM+Kernel Combo for the Best Battery Life Longevity?
As of now I only have Stock Rom+Franco.Kernel
Is there anything else I can do to achieve even better battery life?
Again Thanks to all in Advance, Happy Sharing

As in, the ROM makes the phone into a tiny lil tablet? I can't be the only one who wants to use my old phone this way, as opposed to installing a regular ROM and keeping the device in airplane mode all the time. It seems like it would optimize the device to have no "telephony" services trying to run, but I could be wrong.
I did try googling "ROM with no cellular data" but I'm not sure what other, more specific search terms to try.
I want something like this for my old Galaxy S4, jfltespr, btw.
