Hi just wondering which kernel gives the best battery life for you?
You have to try them yourself, people phone setup is always different and custom, so the kernels perform differently depending on your setup. Just run one for a day, then the next, then the next, etc. you'll find the one you like.
for me tigers blood with bi-wiinning 2.2.1 rom
if you want a guaranteed good battery life, use stock kernel.

Just have to try them out to see. for me it seems overstock 1.5.2 it is under volted very little lag. running bi-winning beta 3. Not just kernel you laso have to watch what apps run in background.

How does Overstock compare to stock?

I've been switching back and forth and idk which one is better. Which one do you guys use and why? Currently using overstock cause I think the battery life is duh-WINNING.

People are different... Phones are different... the apps we use are different... the features we like are different.
I prefer Overstock 2.2.

Sounds like with you switching back and forth and like the battery on os.
You just might have answered your own question.
I use the old 2.2 tigers blood because newer versions give me problems ...i love the battery on this one..i tested overstock and battery is not so good...

I like tigers blood...overstock is great too ha
i like bullet from EDT. it gives me good battery life, has the ability to OC, and everything feels real snappy.

Hey guys, I've been flashing roms and kernels for a while now so i know how to do so. I was just wondering what kernel you guys are using right now and which one gives you best battery life. Currently I'm running Immortality v2 but i am getting persistent SOD's after a few hours of screen off. I would like something that could last me a whole day which is about 18 hours of just moderate texting and occasional browsing. I have tried the bali UV kernel but i cant get it to work for a full day for some reason.
Btw, I'm running bionix 1.3.1
I recommend Cmenards Overstock Kernel. In my opinion he makes the best ones around.
Simply Honey 3.9.1 powered by a 1.2ghz Bullet kernel..Simply Badass \m/
Bullet 1.42 bionix ng works perfect for me with heavy use tho dont expect to get through a whole day but on the other hand did I mention it was fast as hell!!

I go between Bali and Super DragonMODz. Both are great.
For those who say bali. Which one? The UV right? And it doesn't work with set cpu or volt. ctrl. So does it require any setup?

Heard axura was a great rom for battery and wanted to try it out cause I have terrible battery drain, however the original thread for the rom doesn't have a working dl link. Anyone know where I can dl the rom?

Use trigger 3.2
Its not 1983 anymore
[No disrespect to axura, it was my first vibrant rom, but go with trigger for one of THE BEST froyo roms out]

Hahahaha I didnt realize how old it was, I've used trigger and project v before so I wanted tto try something new. I'm currently using bi winning with bali and it is great but the uv on bali is making my phone act funky. I really just want to get good battery life, so any suggestions?

If you still aren't getting good battery with either of those then maybe try ZenDroid. Trigger, Project V, ZenDroid, and Bi-Winning have all been the roms I get the best battery with. If you don't have any luck with them I'm not sure where you will.

What are you looking for with the kernel
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
^ what he said.
To expand on that, you have two Bali variants to choose from if you're looking for battery life to be better. There is Bali-X 1.2, which is overclockable to 1.2ghz and gives you total control of undervolting (with the use of Voltage Control app). This is more for hands-on use, where you can tinker with different voltages for potentially greater battery life savings with deeper UV action from -25, -50, -75, and so on across all frequencies.
If you just want something simple right out the box that you don't have to tweak anything to, there is Bali 1.8.8UV. This is a kernel (kernel, not kernal, please make note of that for the future ) which is -25 all across the board. This is the "flash it and forget it" kernel if you don't feel like doing any tinkering around and want the benefits of an undervolted kernel and don't really have or feel the need for the 1.2ghz availability.
Link for Bali is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043947
Happy flashing!
Immortal is good to

Check out an app called Battery Graph which gives you a simple visual of your battery use over time. Also, don't forget to do battery calibration (using a handy app by the same name) to reset your battery stats for a fresh start on the new kernel.

Try project V anf Bali X you'll forget where you left your charger.
Vibrant+MIUI
im gonna rock this rom for awhile.
I've tried most kernels and put them under the same controlled stress tests.
On my phone, Bali 1.2 is the winner.
Allows you to OC/UV whichever way you want. Use Voltage Control or SetCpu to play with the settings.
Immortality is a close second but I'd still go with Bali for a smidge better battery life.
Bullet is u want your phone to scream!!!! Hell with the battery i like having a beast in my pocket!!! Just pack two batteries lol

They do. I'm running Bali 1.8.8 and it works but others have better luck running the Overstock kernel. You could also find Jellette's thread and get the s.gps.2.zip file (not in the op but like around pg.20 so u gonna have to look) and flash it then download Samsung gps restore from the market and run that then you should be set. Luck homie.

suggest wiping cache and reflashing , also try flashing bali 1.8 uv
I used the kernel flasher should I flash in red screen or do they do the same job?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
IMHO, its best to flash custom kernels with CWM Recovery, SGS Kernel Flasher is a great app, but it can be a little touchy at times. Also, drhonk builds those kernels solid, and i think they can withstand a bomb attack. But really, if Bali-X is giving you problems, then maybe you should try the regular Bali since some phones can't handle OC and/or UV.
