So yeah as the title says I can't decide between Sesh 69hz and Optimus drunk, currently using Evolve X no other custom kernel. I'm looking for best performance and battery life
i'd suggest NGK if you are in need of both battery backup and performance

Another suggestion!! Try all the available kernels and choose the best on accordingly that matches with your preference!

Sesh is definitely designed for gamers and who love performance i m also using this kernel and yes this kernel not for who don't play games on mobile and want more battery. NGK is balanced which give u decent performance as well as good battery backup and optimus drunk is beast if u want more SOT this is my review after using these kernels and may be differ from other because everyone using their device differently and my device also 1 and half year old. So results are not same for everyone.
I agree with NG and Drunk kernels for SOT but for andro 10 there are some od changes and seems that, for me, Miui 11 with andro 10 stock gives such a good SOT that is maybe even better then other custom ones.
Malakas had awesome development but i do not know what happened to him. If anyone knows please say it.
Also a side question - How do i boost screen colours like Malakas had in his kernel?

Installed NGK in the end and for battery life on balanced is a fu**ing beast with stock miui at work i would lose about 25%-30% with heavy reddit usage and some cod mobile here and there but now it doesnt drop below 89%

Hey guys! I'm looking for a rom with a good battery! I used to have MIUI global stable and the battery was pretty awesome but i really prefer purer Android and i cant stand MIUI look (no offense)
is there any roms with a good battery life like the miui stable?? For example 8-9 Screen on time?!

Nope. No other pure android rom can offer such a great SOT times as miui. On RR im getting around 6-7h SOT without using 4g.

after posting this i tried to set both CPU & GPU governors to powersave and it worked too good! it has no lag or a little in normal tasks and battery use is so awesome! it remained on 100% so long that i thought it is a bug! i just change kernel auditors profile when i want to play or do some thing heavy!
but i am still looking for the best battery friendly rom (after MIUI)!

you have to do it using "kernel Auditor" app and your phone has to be rooted! in my vase i flashed Santhosh's CM13, GApps & SuperSU Zip to easily root my phone!

Did not find any bugs but I am not a heavy or experienced user. Something I cannot control: Led Light colour
Also does not support the kernel denominator or radon (installed but I could pass through the lock screen).
I installed it, being in Miui8, unlocked (officially) bootloader.

Well yes, setting powersaving CPU governor is an option, but for me it resulted in many laggs (I'm a heavy user).
Btw. this 100% happens often. But it only applies to 100% charge, after that it will drop normally.

After my tests I would say no. It's stable, but SOT was worse than on MIUI 7.

Which kernel do you use with Hexagon?
I am a hard gamer.
I dont really have time to try each rom which is the best, so I need your experience guys about which ROM that have the most stability and performance for gaming?
I dont need features, beautify the UI or etc.
All I care is super slim, simple, stability and performance.
I think this question will be frequently asked with Mido user who bought this phone because of its performance for gaming. We all know this is the most budget phone but very good performance both cpu and graphics.
And if anyone using tweaks like Ultimate Performance, Govtuner, or L Speed or even GLtools to improve the performance. Tell us here.
Thank you.
I am also waiting for custom kernel coz me also a hard gamer
maybe this is not the right phone being a hardcore gamer?

Can someone explain me which one is better and why?
Sphinx has better performance but runs hotter than Franco this is because Sphinxes clocks are higher.
Franco has lower clocks so you will see minor stutters in games but it is clocked lower than stock. While only francos gpu is overclocked.
Both are stable in all applications no crashing.
it's not overclocked on franco. and it's a bad idea to overclock when it throttles anyway at load. it will make things worse. you could actually get better performance if you underclock...

so in your opinion which one is better for battery life?
I'LL go for franco anytime.. of the day.. both are superb in performance.. but im getting longer battery life with franco.
Franco is a great developer, buy he doenst use f1, just develop for it. Sphynx is an f1 user and his kernel is better polished, i have better battey with it. But there are lots of good kernels here, now im using shadow kernel, it is very good too
kernels don't really matter for battery life. unless using drivers with issues, which isn't a problem on a poco.
if you're using miui, debloat services and processes that constantly report to miui and wake your device.
limit apps push notification and background access. disable sync of non essential services.
personally i don't believe in using battery saving profiles and tweaks like LKT and messing with CPU governers and I/O scheds, but you can experiment with those if you need more battery at the expense of performance.
also try to optimize battery for any service/app you don't need realtime sync for (or don't need it to stay running in background). can also try the google play services gms doze module.
use adblocking browser like Bromite / hosts file to prevent ads from loading will also help battery times.
all of these have far greater effect on battery than kernel level tweaks or differences.
To be honest, the kernels I love are not the two. I actually use Shadow and Twisted Prime. I am currently using Twisted's kernel because, in my use-case, it actually provided me with better performance and overall battery. However, Shadow kernel is also good because you can add tweaks that will make it even better.
After being with franco kernel for quite a while.. im.now.trying the MALAKAS or MLX kernel.. and im telling you bro.. this one's damn smooth and effficient too.. wow. Just wow..

Lol are you in dreams ?
Franco is the most power hungry kernel.
Evel the stock is better than it.
Without using any underclocking.
And after underclocking it gets like 2+ minutes in battery life and makes the phone's performance ****

Just wanna report that Twisted is the most balanced kernel that I've tried.
Sphinx kernel has a better performance than Franco, but the device will be hotter. If you're in a tropical country, the temperature may stay between 40°C-45°C in Sphinx. Franco saves a lot more battery, also low temperature, but I don't like the performance in games, but it is better than the stock kernel.

What is this? Some sort of competition? Ask your question in a more appropriate way whether you want better performance or better battery life. Both kernel serves different purpose.

That's quite the opposite. Francisco owns a Poco F1. Infact he was provided the unit by Xiaomi, afaik. On the other hand, Michael doesn't have a Poco F1. He owns a Dipper (Mi8) which share similar hardware and software with Poco F1.
So I just unlocked the bootloader of my one-week-old Poco F1, flashed LineageOS 16, and everything has been smooth sailing so far. Now, I want to flash a custom kernel. What can you recommend for a good balance of battery life and performance? I'm not really keen on tweaking parameters so I want a flash-and-forget-it solution. Thanks in advance.
Sphinx works best for miui and lineage.
Franco is also up there
Canting kernel. At first I was flashing a different kernel daily. I found Canting and have been on it for nearly a week. Super stable. Not 1 random reboot or freeze and it also has vibration control, sound control, display control, Klaspe and just about everything else
https://github.com/khusika/canting_kernel_xiaomi_sdm845/releases
Sphinx Kernel is a good all-rounder, if you want a 'leaner' kernel go for Simple Kernel. As for performance, I've heard quite some praise from Malakas Kernel but I can't guarantee anything. An honorable mention would be Canting Kernel.

Arter97 kernel is good for balanced performance and battery life and its very smooth

I use lineage stock and have been getting ~8 hours SOT with light usage, over 48 hours between charge. The gains/losses in performance and battery life between kernels were negligible for me in real world usage and sticking with stock is just one less thing for me to worry about when updating.

Yep, might as well stick with stock I guess. The development done into these kernels is very active that some even update every day. I think it's too much of a hassle to me to flash a newer version daily.
I also like to believe that wiping cache frequently, which is a prerequisite in flashing, hurts battery life, because the phone doesn't get to compile it and as a result, keeps on running background processes to rebuild it every time you do so. What do you think?
Go for FK. 8 hours sot while playing PoGo non stop on 4g. Very good performance and non heating issues so far.
Just wanted to update this post based on my findings:
Franco: Awesome battery life, though the device essentially becomes gimped. I'm not a fan of underclocking.
Malakas: Best performance by far, and also pretty good battery life. A bit unstable, though.
Sphinx: A good balance between performance and battery life, though idle drain is a bit high. Will test a bit more.
Not willing to test arter's since it's SELinux Permissive.

I'm running Evolution-X with the Optimus Drunk Kernel. I have the NVT panel version of the Pocofone and my experience has been excellent. I also service a FTS panel version of the Pocofone, that had the freezing problem, and the Optimus Drunk Kernel really helped turn the phone from a freezing/frustrating nightmare and a similar experience to the NVT panel version. I recommend both the Evolution-X ROM and the kernel. Currently, the default kernel on the ROM is the DERP kernel, which is also good.
Nowadays I just stick with the stock kernel
One that doesn't blow up the device and doesn't let the battery die in 1 hour. Needs to be stable for daily use and give more than stock performance when i game.

Best way to find out is to flash them and try it yourself. Everyone uses their devices in different ways so it's purely subjective what "best" is.
Are you playing Minesweeper or PUBG? Which ROM are you using? What brightness settings do you use? How's your wifi/cell signal? All of those things (and more) affect how your device uses battery and performs. Each kernel is designed for a different type of usage. As Javadn mentioned, Malakas claims to be better for gaming, but you could claim that with any kernel based on your usage. Know what I'm sayin?
Try each one. See which suits your needs.
