Which do you get bettery battery life with?
Too me I wouldn't think it would make much of a difference. I'm on cmrc6. Using setcpu is the real battery saver imo. Guess it would depend on the kernal also though.

All about the battery life has anyone tested these three kernels in detail.

Because of the slight variance in hardware on the Shift its very much a YMMV situation. For example, everyone raved about bcnice's kernel how it gave huge gains battery life, but for me it gave me the worst battery life. Before Nightly #88 ScaryGhoul's kernel gave me the best battery life.
I'm using newest miui

i like Rock mod did very well with battrey
Which kernel idles the best with least amount of battery drain out of faux and Franco? It would help a lot of us get a bigger picture with less bias lol. Thanks:thumbup:

All custom kernels with the wakelock fix have virtually identical rates of idle drain.
I've had 0-1% over night with Trinity, Franco & Matr1x. But, each phone & usage environment is different..
Really so now I've got to figure out whos kernel runs the smoothest and gives me a good screen on..
I'm testing harshes ATM its performing very nice indeed with cfx latest build

Does anyone know a stable ROM that can significant increase the battery life on the Nexus 4? Right now I'm stock, and battery life has been terrible and doesn't even last me through the day. It is also very slow to charge on the included charger, but seems to charge faster on a Kindle Fire 1.8A I have.
Thanks!

The custom kernels in the dev section offer decent battery life.
I'm a wifi user mostly and I get @5.5 to 6 hours screen on time with lite gaming and browsing (this site all day lol).. i do Undervolt by a total of 150mV too... I recomend Harsh's kernel personally.
Underclocking the CPU is not worth it imo because it just makes other cores go online quicker when more power is needed... though it may help a small bit.
other usual tips..
use low screen brightness
turn off google now
turn off gps location
only sync stuff you really use, turn other syncs off (i have just gmail,contacts,browser synced)
turn off nfc if not using
make sure to use the open recent apps button and swipe away all apps when putting the phone down for a while (this really helps with stock kernel because of the wakelocks)
edit.. also after a week or so of charges the battery gets better.
Mpdecision is killing the battery. Try Franco kernel or faux.

I'll give Franco kernel a try. Can CyanogenMod increase the battery life in the Nexus 4?

Hi there. I have my nexus 4 for about a week. It was bought rooted second hand. I flashed liquid smooth and faux at start and battery life was medium. About 15 hours. But I want more battery life. So I flashed liquid smooth and FRANCO kernel which is supposed to increase my battery life but it only lasted 14 hours on the first cycle. I will wait for 3-4 cycles more to check it.
Are there any special settings for Franco kernel to work better? Please help because it is a great phone but battery is essential.

Anyone?

The rom and the kernel is not the cause for your battery loss. The kernel's recommended settings are ideal for battery life. It's either your apps or the amount of wakelocks draining your power. Rogue apps that are constantly awake when they shouldn't be. download wakelock detector or better battery stats and find the cause.

Ouch, that's terrible battery life. I'd say it's definitely a program causing it, I don't think any rom or kernel could be that bad.
Never mind I moved to paranoid android ROM and is more battery friendly. Please lock the topic.

Hey guys I am running the latest Paranoid Android with Francos latest kernel and my battery life is horrid.
If I get one hour of screen on time I am lucky. I am using custom color collaboration with the kernel and I am curious if this is playing a role.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Colors on the Nexus 4 doesn't affect battery life.
Most likely it's your apps that are draining your battery life. Turn off services like Bluetooth and GPS and WiFi.
Install wake lock detector to see what apps are eating your battery juice. Low signal or bad service can affect battery life as well.

How's your reception? Bad signal is a huge factor

Try using Greenify. Might help a bit.
why dont you use an older kernel and see, r111 was the best kernel i got with battery life.
I had nothing but problems with Franco kernel. My phone wouldn't charge unless it was on AC for one.

Getting 3.5 to 4.5 hrs of sot on Franco and illusion, a lil more sot time if I'm on WiFi.
Apps sometimes play a big role in battery depletion as well as a horrible signal.

try using joker kernel if anything other than franco
I'm getting really sucky battery life on the MIUI 5 rom latest as of 2/7/13. Anyone else getting bad battery life on this? I've had a look at betterbatterystats and it's not really listing anything as keeping the phone awake. Went from 95% to 75% in 4 hours (I know that doesn't sound so bad but I wasn't doing anything with the phone, just had a couple of messengers on it - Trillian and Steam)
You need to figure out what is keeping your phone awake. On Franco kernel I have very little drain when just using messenger etc. I would think you have a rogue app or something causing issues.
