Best battery life kernels?

[Junior1211]

Question. Are you guys using rom control to set your cpu or something from the market? Not sure if that makes much of a difference that the performance section was baked in to work with the kernel that came with the rom or not.

No task killer and background sync is off. If I need to check fb or Gmail I just log in. Haven't tried faux yet but think I'll give it a shot... Also I did try setting CPU up to 700/1200 and at first it seemed to help but then sitting idle reading a page it dropped a lot faster. Sitting here typing on my nexus I've lost 3% in two minutes lol. Ugh. Anyway, I guess what I dont understand is how one phone can be night and day from the next. I understand there are a few variables involved but seriously?? lol. I think my best setup rom kernel CPU wise has been AOKP and Franco (id have to check the builds) CPU 1228/384 and set to lock in at 192 when the screen off. Still nowhere near 8 or 10 hours stand by but better than stock for sure. I think I said in another thread I would have a better chance being abducted cashing a winning lottery ticket than I do squeezing in 2 or 3 more hours... Dropped from 39% down to 32% since typing . It definitely sucks feeling like most of my time on the phone is spent baby sitting the battery. I definitely cut things short just to make it to an outlet... We shall see...

Out of curiosity...how strong of a signal do you have? I've found that besides the screen the biggest battery drain is the radios if they are searching for a stronger signal

Usually 3-4 bars of 4G if it gets low I either turn it off or switch to 3g. At night I turn data off.

4g alone is a battery leech

Yea but just sitting idle I lose about 20% an hour. I just flashed stock and unrooted to get a clean slate. Time to root again and hopefully figure this thing out... Btw according to badass battery nothing is holding the phone awake..

FWIW...I use the OEM extended battery with the Verizon G-nex. I am running Eclipse latest build and the kernel that comes with it (developed by Nitro himself I believe) I average now around 18 hours with auto brightness, 50/50 between wi-fi/4g and moderate to heavy use. No other tweaks or anything, I just use this app to keep battery stats refreshed between builds. I recommend it to anyone. Sorry if this is a repost from me, just want to help out anyone looking for advice.

Hello! So for the 4.2.1 what is the best Kernel for saving batery life?

Matters what ROM your using with a certain kernel , its a combination of kernel ROM and knowing your phone and actually the phone its self coz its a fact peoples phones react different even though same phone same setup etc!! I'm lucky I've managed to own one that's blazingly fast which enables me to use low settings on my kernel!!!
