So I just unlocked my bootloader and flash CorvusOS. I am thinking flashing kernel.
Can you please tell me what is the difference between DPA Kernel, Storm Breaker and F1xy. Which one is better for battery and performance (gaming, but not that much hard gaming)

DPA you need to test
Stormbreaker - battery
F1xy - performance (but expect SOD)

So I recently rooted my Galaxy Nexus and other than using WidgetLocker I haven't done anything to my phone to take advantage of my root and SU privileges.
This is my first phone that I have done this too so this is all a major learning curve which brings me to my question(s):
(1) Can the phones memory be over locked?
[If yes....] What are the factory Memory Times and what is a safe level to overclock them to - and How?
(2) What is the factory setting for the processor and what is a safe and efficient overclocked setting?
Is the Highest (but again safe and efficient) level a noticeable change?
(3) Overclocking the GPU can reach a maximum setting of 512Mhz (correct?)
What is the default setting for the GPU and is overclocking the GPU to the highest (but "safest" & efficient) level noticeable and worth the trouble?
(4) How do I overclock my phone?
I know that (probably) a kernel replacement is going to be the answer to this question but I was wondering if maybe there is a script I could run in recovery console or terminal, whatever...instead of replacing the entire kernel.
If the kernel is the only way, does this effect future ICS system updates?
What is the best (most stable, most features, best for overclocking) kernel for ICS/GalaxyNexus? - I dont know poop about kernels.
(4a) with the kernel loaded, what apps do I need to snatch from the market to actually overclock my Galaxy Nexus? Try to recommend free ones please =P
(5) Since I am replacing the Kernel, should I dive in 100% and flash a ROM too?
Yes?: what is the best (very very stable, fast, efficient, tweakable) ROM out there for GNexus?
do roms do anything to assist in the overclocking process?
The only reason I would consider a ROM too is because I want Wifi/USB Tethering, Facebook contact syncing, and a few other things.. but only if there are overclocking tools too!
Does flashing a ROM eliminate myself from ICS updates(pretty sure the answer is yes)??
(6) I am currently on a stock kernel and "rom" (if u couldn't tell...) but I am rooted and using Launcher Pro (free version) and I am happy with it but out of the other launchers which is the best (fastest, easy to use, customisable)?
If I flash a custom ROM will a custom launcher be necessary or do they cone with tweaked launchers?
I had other questions but I can't think of it right now, I'll update the OP and thread if I think of anymore. Thank you so much community members for taking time to answer these questions!!!

No, it can't.

1200 MHz is stock, 1350-1400 MHz is the highest you can get at the moment, as stability is an issue.

307MHz is stock (underclocked), 387MHz I believe is it's nominal speed, and is billed as 'overclocked' here on XDA.

You need to flash a kernel using CWM Recovery. The kernel will be rewritten every time you flash a new ROM with that ROMs kernel, if you like a specific kernel you can reflash after installing a ROM, I use Franco Kernel which is by far the most popular. Once you flash a custom ROM you won't bother with ICS system updates, custom are bleeding edge with custom tweaks and months and months earlier than OTA releases.

SetCPU is by far the best, don't be a cheapskate shell out the $2 for it. AOKP ROM has one built in, but I still use SetCPU.

Flashing a custom ROM will stop you being able to recieve OTA's, yes. But like I said earlier, they are ****. Custom ROMs are far, far better, so just keep up to date with your ROMs releases and you will always have a ROM with more features that stock OTAs. Most ROMS come with overclocked kernels, most have optimized kernels also, AOKP even has a built in overclocking program in the settings menu, which might appeal to you.

I don't know about other ROMs but AOKP comes with a custom launcher called Nova Launcher, it's essentially the stock launcher with tweaks.
wow thank you so much for your reply... i stumbled upon AOKP on droidforums before reading your reply and am actually about to flash it now - thank you for this very detailed response!!
No problem my man, there is actually a good few stable 1500MHz kernels out now and the GPU can be overclocked to 512MHz if you really want to kill your battery.
can someone give me a link to the best kernel to use with ARHD rom with good battery life and performance
kernels
Anyone? Any kernel suggestions and why?
I can't link any kernels for you but I can tell you they're pretty easy to find on this forum. Try looking in the dedicated ARHD ROM thread, it lists a couple of kernels. I myself have good battery life and performance with the Faux123.
ARHD comes already with 3 kernel choices while flashing. Stock, sebastians and faux.
I use Faux underclocked to 1.08GHz. Great performance and really good battery life!
Phil
I found Faux's or Sebastian's good with ARHD.
Faux & Sebastian
Do some research on the forums...
Then, try faux or SebastianFM. I prefer faux, because it's really stable and improves the battery life. But try to read other threads, and opinion about these two.
Battery or Performance?

Do you prefer battery or performance?
Why do you need links if ARHD comes with stock kernel and also with other 2 custom kernels? (Faux and Sebastian)
Faux - Battery
SebastianFM - Performance, more like stock with improvements
Let's post here best battery life combos. It may be very useful to those who can't decide what custom rom or/and kernel to flash .

Well... my Kernel/ROM combination may not be the best battery life, but i love it.
ROM: WanamLITE v1.5
Kernel: Perseus ALPHA v3.4
A clean ROM with samsung features still apparent. Kernel has overclock and sound tweaks available. Battery life is slightly enhanced due to lack of bloatware.
** Note ** Camera firmware fix will need to be flashed..
Hi all, I'm gonna by a N5 so would like to know if the Nougat roms are already 100% stable for daily use or which are the main bugs. Which rom do you suggest for battery life? Thanks
all nougat roms are stable. I recomend Beltz rom by @setiawanjimmy + Elemental X kernel. I use it since release of beltz. No random reboots nor lags. Smooth and stable as hell

Thank you very much, just for info how sot are you having? Any configuration of kernel?

Current kernel configuration (through EX manager app):
governor:elementalx
GPU governor: simple or performance (was using both, now using performance)
max screen off freq: 1190 mhz
max cpu freq: 2,3 ghz
I get 3,5-4h (MAX i could get) SOT on Wifi and around 3h on LTE
Rom is really worth flashing. Rich customizations and great performance
oh, and it has latest OMS7 integrated
Of the nougat ROM choices I find DarkRom runs the smoothest and with best battery life. The downside is you will need to change recovery to CAF add it is aCAF nougat ROM

There is no specific rom for good gaming. Just download a light ROM (I'd prefer CM14.1) and flash some custom kernel. You're done!
But some roms are faster and/or smoother than others, also battery life is not the same in every rom
Nobody can answer? Im still wanting to know the answer
In 6.0 i always used krexus caf but it not have Android 7.0 yet
Flash a CM 14.1 with NxKernel. OC to 1.6Ghz. You're good to go.

I doing some tests and I will release my kernel with GPU OC which will give boost in games and about rom take a light rom without much features like mooke, vanirAOSP, KrexusCAF and etc with LSpeed and GovTuner will make the phone fly (but will eat a lot of battery).
