Hi, currently im using blu spark kernel but I'm wondering which kernel is the best if all what I care is smothness of os, scrolling etc. And second question: if I have now blu spark kernel and want to change it for a elementalx for example all I must to do is just flash new kernel in recovery or go back to stock and flash then? And third.. what options i can change in kernel audiotor to get best smothness? I'm just crazy about smothness, all my monitors have 144hz and every single, even little drop of fps make my nervous.. Thanks for answers :angel:

This is going to be tough. If smoothness is your goal then EX, Flash, Radioactive, Smurf will be potential candidates. I've heard recently a lot of people falling in love with the flash kernel but development has been halted until further notice. I personally use EX. Half these kernels achieve similar functionality so it's largely preference and what mates with your device well.
All the kernels are very good and the OP6 is naturally so fast that it's hard to tell which one is better.
Indeed, a lot of people say flash kernel is the fastest and the one with the best performance. I can tell it's blazing fast. But is it faster than others? I couldn't tell for sure.
From my personal experience, I can tell Flash is great (but not maintained anymore, so don't expect it to keep working after a few OOS updates), otherwise I really love blu spark and FK. However, these two have bugs with camera since OOS 9.0.2 so I'd recommend to wait for a move from OP or them before recommending them.
Fourth great recommendation, EX: it's really good and rock-stable.
I use EX Kernel and it's insanely stable and 100% smooth. Never had a hiccup, stutters or lag with the kernel and achieve 9-11 hours of screen on time per charge. I've used flash kernel in the past but was a time but more performance based and not quite as good with battery then EX is but I read it's no longer in development which I find strange. The flash had been the kernels for OnePlus devices since the 5 that I know of and I think since the 3 actually.
From my experience, Flash and BluSpark kernels are the smoothest. EX and FK are more battery friendly.
Also, both Flash and BluSpark had way better Antutu benchmarks when comparing to EX/FK.

Looking For the Best Rom In terms of Good Battery life and Customization ?
I still find rooted stock room with one of the custom kernels ( I find EX or freak's kernel best for my use) the best. Most custom ROMs plague from android system taking too much wake cycles.
I have done PureNexus and OctOS with custom kernels and have battery life out of this world. 6-7 hours screen time is not uncommon. Both are great ROMs. Performance is pretty much perfect on either. This phone may have reached the pinnacle of speed in a phone. I've yet to see if stutter or lag once in my 2 months with it. Unreal.
My next ones to try are Dirty Unicorns and the Remix one (I think that's the name?).
By the way, Franco kernel has been my favorite so far. I paired that with EX Kernel manager and I'm in phone heaven.
Honestly don't see any real reason to go beyond stock for myself.

Likewise.
Just root, install some mods, freeze some apps, and you're good to go!
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...
i think right now there's no real custom rom that surpasses miui in performance or battery life, i honestly hate miui but every other rom i go to is worse in (only) these two category's,
do you think custom roms will surpass miui eventually?
also this is from my experiences so far so if you have a suggestion for a rom or a rom+kernel combo i'd like to hear them (and try them).
really ????????????
Yeah same like me .. i unlocked bootloader and rooted my poco
And i downloaded all custom roms .. but all have problems .. and i hope rom one ui complete cus .. just this rom will be good like miui .. cus i already trying the miui one ui . But not finished... And i try all kernels .. all charge battery very slowly.. not like miui .. fast charge real ..and i trying the mod XASP and this not working on miui 9.5.23 .. please if u found something new or good like charge faster .. and keeping battery .. will be good ... Thanks... And i sorry for my language
Mi-globe's ROM Builder is great for putting together a fairly debloated MIUI. I get the best performance and battery life with this rom, hands down.
As far as non-miui custom ROMs, PE CAF + Stock MIUI kernel, and the latest vendor/firmware is the best combo that I've found.
Next to PE CAF I like Havoc + Canting Kernel as well.

How can I find the stock kernel to flash it on pe caf? I like the rom but i'm getting low SoT on warp kernel
You are right about the battery and it's understandable that it wouldn't be that great on many custom ROMs due to the nature of MIUI to kill/restrict background apps or don't let them autostart by default.
But performance wise, I played PUBG on MIUI and I was devastated by how it performs, forget the benchmarks, they are all pumped on MIUI, but still getting better benchmark score and very very smooth gameplay on OxygenOS+eXtremeKernel. I tried going back to Stock MIUI after GameBoost was said to be improved, but it was not up to the mark in any way.
I used to run Official LOS and had fluid performance and decent battery combo on FrancoKernel before this and would get back as soon as I stop playing games
Edit: LOS+FK is more stable if you are not into games, and you should definitely give it a try. You can use Performance Profiles of FK Kernel Manager(paid app, worth it) to get more battery when needed.
Edit2: Just read the original developer's tweet in eXtreme Kernel thread, going to ditch this, OOS default kernel is also better.

yeah, i tried LOS with franco and battery-wise LOS was better with it's stock kernel for me, but idk why i don't really like LOS, so far the best Roms i tried and liked were crdroid nitrogen and PE right now im using miui eu

If you like the MIUI flavor, you can stick to stock and debloat it. If you liked PE, you would love LOS along with Pix3lify Magisk Module and some other mods, as this makes it the same with greater performance.
I think I'll try PE with the stock miui kernel don't really want to use magisk because some games I play block it

i'll try, so far i did an antutu benchmark and got a score of 280000 which is decent tbh, i'll try to update about battery life tomorrow, im using this kernel - kernel-beryllium_global_9.5.20-ak2.zip.
I have the same feeling. I have tried almost all custom ROMs on Poco F1, but never got the same level of performance that I get from Miui. And no, I am not a Miui fanboy. Infact this is the first time I am using miui and I just hate it for the amount of bloatware it comes with. I am saving money and as soon as I have enough, I will ditch this device and go for Samsung Galaxy S10e or OnePlus 7 pro.

well i plan to use this device for around 2-3 years so i hope custom roms will get better.
well after using it for a bit the stock kernel doesn't work well for me at PE, idk why but im assuming it just works better with MIUI, im on MALAKAS KERNEL for now.
In my case, the performance only went up, when I'm using custom ROMs. I'm using CrDroid now, which is a hella lot smoother and performs way better than MIUI ever did, I didn't notice a huge battery impact. On MIUI I was using my phone for 2 days before charging, same goes for this custom ROM. My main concern with MIUI were it's features, like the hide notch function was removed in pie, and little things like that, that pi*sed me off.

It is not removed. Just a missing function in 10.2.3. Update to the global latest stable of MIUI, you'll get that option.
Hello everyone!,
I have been the proud owner of the OnePlus 7 Pro for 1 month now, but I still feel that Screen On Time is expandable.
But also because of the better settings I'm looking for the most suitable custom kernel. Fortunately, there are a lot of busy developers out there who give us a large selection of it. But this doesn't make the decision which kernel to use any easier
I'm just looking for a custom kernel that improves screen-on time without affecting performance in everyday use.
I'm looking forward to experiences with certain kernels & would be very happy if someone would make it easier for me (but also other undecided ones out there) to make the decision.
Many thanks for any help in advance
Kirisakura, because of EAS, common patches, well tuned initial parameters.
Kirisakura.
I also use Kirisakura, but I don't think a different kernel will give significantly more screen on time.
Although it may not be the answer you are looking for, I think biting the bullet and just trying each kernel out for a few days would give you the best answer.
Everyone has different setups/uses on their phones which is why there isn't really a one size fits all type answer for this question.
Yep, try some and compare is your best bet...
Can someone on Kirisakura rom show me what the screen calibration menu looks like. Is it as basic as stock oos?

It's not a rom, just a kernel with a magisk module as a helper
I easily get 9hrs SOT with SmurfKernel. Every decent kernel has a focus. Smurf is overclocking and unified support, kirisukura is EAS, ElementalX is close to stock with a few extra features.
Hello guys.
I bought an 8T during Christmas and I instantly installed LineageOS because I wanted less bloatware as possibile and more privacy, since I read some articles regarding OxygenOS telemetry and sending data back to servers in China.
I also installed a custom kernel which was GREAT, battery drain was super low and it was so smooth, but since latest builds LineageOS doesn't work with custom kernels anymore because WiFi breaks.
When flashing back Lineage's kernel I couldn't help but wonder: am I using the device to its best with this setup? I really miss the custom kernels and I noticed that most of them are supported only on OxygenOS. OxygenOS could also probably have proprietary code that is optimized to the device and full support (for example, I lose the 48 MP camera with custom ROMs. Not a big deal at all, but still)
So what do you guys think? Do you like OxygenOS or prefer custom ROMs? Can I remove enough bloatware to make it a bit lighter and secure? Is it too early to use custom ROMs with this new device?
Let me know what you guys think and what your 8T setups look like!
Thanks.
Latest OOS + root + Bluspark Kernel
Seriously I don't care about some data which will be send back to China. Not even sure if it's real.
I have deactivated all bloatware apps which I don't need or use with swift backup.
Idle drain is about 1% and i can easily reach 7h and more SOT without any other battery optimizations or kernel settings. Wifi, Data, 120hz for example always on.
So far I'm happy with it.

The main reason I'm tempted to go back to stock OxygenOS is, as you already know, the custom kernels low battery drain and great performance. I tried both Radioactive kernel and Bluspark kernel and they're amazing. I'm really tempted now to go back to stock; I just hope Oneplus won't be super slow with the updates!
Thanks for your opinion.
I am just using OOS right now, haven't had the time to try and remove/block some bloatware yet. I like oxygen OOS so haven't seen a reason to go to a custom rom. Would love to go google less, but a lot of apps I use require google services to work.
I am quite happy with the stock kernel battery time. But might try out a custom kernel soon, if so which one would you recommend. bluspark or revolution kernel?
I am also sure there will be an increase in custom kernels that support linage OS soon as well, if you just wait.

I would recommend you to try both of them for a week and judge by yourself. I started with Radioactive kernel which was really good, that's what made me fall in love with custom kernels. I tried switching to Bluspark kernel to see if WiFi worked there, but it didn't, just like Radioactive kernel, so I didn't really use it that much.
But now, if both would support LineageOS (or if I'm going back to stock), I'd go for Bluspark. The developer was really helpful in trying to debug why the kernel wasn't working for LineageOS, he even did 4/5 test builds just for me to try to debug it, even if he clearly wrote he didn't care about debugging custom ROMs.
Also, the features look better tbh, but flashing a custom kernel takes like 1 minute, so you can switch between the two really easily if you want to try both of them.
I am also sure there will be an increase in custom kernels that support linage OS soon as well, if you just wait.

I'm not sure about that, I asked LineageOS developer and he clearly said he doesn't care about making his work harder just to support custom kernels, and custom kernels developers tried (like eng_stk for Bluspark) multiple times with no success, I think he kinda gave up; he told me it was something he wasn't going to try to tackle.
Tried asking in Radioactive kernel's thread but they told me that "I was lucky it even worked before.....it's not for AOSP roms"
I have tried other custom ROMs, but always ends up going back to Stock. OOS is pretty solid at this point minus a couple of minor issues. Something always doesn't work on custom ROMs
I tried lineage and evolutionX roms but both times moved back to OOS. Its the first stock rom i like. I use magisk canary for root with a few modules and radioactive kernel which gives awesome battery life. I didn't even realize the difference till now. I haven't reinstalled radioactive yet since moving back to stock rom yesterday and the difference is night and day to me.

Blu Spark is pretty good too..Yes, OOS with either Radioactive or Blu Spark gives stellar battery life...Overnight I am losing 0% battery for 8 hours which is unheard of at least for me...
Hmm, I might wait some time to see if some other ROMs come out or I can somehow install a custom kernel, before switching back to stock. But at least I know that OxygenOS is pretty good stock! Thanks for your opinion guys. I hope Oneplus will keep releasing updates for quite some time then.
There is also Neutrino kernel coming. Alpha 3 is already out and as i have heard next update will be beta. I'm gonna test it.

Thanks for the update. I went back to stock OxygenOS and installed Bluspark. I would've tried Neutrino but I noticed it doesn't have a lot of features yet, like it misses Wireguard support and vibration intensity support. Let me know how it goes for you!

So far it's pretty good. Got 9h SOT yesterday at almost the same usage. With Bluspark it was like 8h maybe. They are both great kernel. Performance is similar and also system is very smooth.
