Hi! Im looking for some roms and/or kernels that improve the performance of OOS Stock with stock kernel, if someone use the OOS stock rom with some custom kernel and it work better than full stock I would thank if you can share to me what kernel and what settings do you use with that kernel and the same with someone using custom roms!
Also, if you are root, what modules of magisk or mods do you use? To improve battery or thing like that!
To all who can answer this, thank you it would be very useful to me!
Read the forum. There is plenty put there with the info you are looking for

Hi,
Quick question I am still having trouble wrapping my head around the concept about kernels. I am planning to root my nexus 4 and flash a custom rom (purity rom) but am i required to also flash a custom kernel? Or am I suppose to leave the kernel as is?
Thanks!

Depends upon your requirement .
As an example i use Fast USB charge a lot and is not available in any custom rom .
I also use Headphone volume boost which is yet again a kernel level change.
I would suggest you to use a custom kernel since it also gives better battery than stock .
If you are happy without it then forget about kernels . And in case u plan on flashing one make a CWM backup just in case.,
You could if you want to since you're already flashing custom roms. However, most custom rom come with custom kernel, so when you flash a custom rom it will replace your kernel with it's own. You can manually flash back your stock kernel if you want, using fastboot, but there is a flashable package as well in the Dev section.
Just know that due to codes and drivers, different kernels work with different roms. If you flash a 4.3 kernel to a 4.4 rom, it might lack certain necessary driver, such as PRIMA, so your wifi will no longer work. (You can fix this by flashing dePRIMAtor). CyanogenMod use Code Aurora Forum drivers, so if you use a kernel that doesn't support CAF, the screen colors will be messed up (you can lash a colorfix package which replace it with the non-CAF liboverlay.so).
A lot of people get wrapped too far up into flashing kernel and thinking it determine everything (performance + battery life) in their phone. As much of a heavy flasher that I am, I am willing to bet that you generally get the best battery life and stability just running stock. I did my own trial for this, with stock rom and kernel, the phone staying cooler and screen on time was longer. This is just my personal experience, it varies for each person.
But I mainly use custom kernel for features. Such as kernels that incorporate Faux color and sound, this allows changing their settings for much a better screen color and making the speaker louder. I also use the sweep2wake/sleep feature to turn on and off the screen.
If you intend to use custom kernels, I recommend using TricksterMod, it's the best app for modifying kernel settings.
Also just to mention this ahead of time, it's against XDA rules to make threads about what is the best rom/kernels.
Hi Guys,
I'm planning to buy a OnePlus 2 soon, and I would require a bit of help from you guys to customize it. I'm not a noob, but I just want to know the following:
Which is the best ROM for the OnePlus 2 (based on the mentioned below)
The rom should be based of Marshmallow 6.0.1 and stable
The ROM should support the fingerprint scanner and laser focus
All the other features and gestures that are in the Stock ROM
Which is the best Kernel for the OnePlus 2 (based on the mentioned below)
Supports Fast charging
Has a good battery backup
Has the best governors
And all the other best features you look out for in a kernel
I am confused between these two kernels, Sandy Kernel and Benschholds Custom Kernel. I want to know the performance of both the custom Kernels and would also like to know whether Benschholds Kernel supports Fast Charge as that of Sandy Kernel.
I request all the members of the OnePlus 2 community to please help me as I will be new to the device and do not know much about the Custom ROMs and Kernels posted in the OnePlus 2 threads. I would appreciate everyone's time and help for the same. Thanks in advance to everyone.
I'd say H2OS MM (or OOS 3) is the only ROM that meets those demands. Especially if you need dual SIM control like I do. That's not present in AOSP/CM based ROMs.
Most of the ROMs are based on cyanogenmod so they give a similar performance. Never tried AOSP based ROMs. Lord Boeffla kernel has been doing some good. I used naman balla's settings for the kernel was giving like around 5 hrs of SOT. For the fast charging, the hardware has to support it else you may end damaging your device.
I never used other ROM's than stock ROMs. If it will be available i will change to CM13 official ROM refined by Lord Boefflas Kernel. I use it since S3-times and then on my OPO and now on my OP2. I never saw a kernel like this, very convenient in handling with it's own comfortable app and rock-stable with very pleasant battery consumption... In short: boeffla kernel rocks!!!
Cheers

HydrogenOS H2OS v1.4.0 [004] +gapps nano the best
Had you followed the rules you would know that there is no best anything. It is all up to how you use the device and your personal setup. You could have 2 devices on the same rom and kernel and they will react differently depending on usage, devices, place you live and many other things.
I've been mucking around with Android for a while but basically stay with a ROM and what it comes packaged (or recommended) with.
Recently I've been looking around at Custom Kernels and I see they offer different options and functionality, but I lack some basic information:
I am guessing that the Kernel and ROM have to be compatible?
Is, for example a Kernel like Blu Spark or Lighting (all for OP5 and Nougat) compatible with all OP5 Nougat ROMs or is it ROM by ROM?
I looked over the pages for both Kernels and also for xXx Freedom OS and didn't see any information concerning compatible ROMs or compatible Kernels, is there any place/list that shows the compatibility of ROMs and Kernels?
Any information, or guidance to where I can find it would be appreciated.
Very simple.
There are 2 types of kernels. One which only works on an OOS based (custom) Rom, and one which will only work on a LOS or AOSP based Rom. Most custom kernels will work on every LOS or AOSP based ROM. But... There's one negative thing about flashing custom or OOS based Kernels. You will never know how the Kernel and/or ROM will behave. There's no 100 percent guarantee if a custom Kernel or ROM are made for each other. Even if a Kernel which comes with the ROM is no guarantee for working properly. There's no such thing as "Stable" even with ROMs. Because stable doesn't exist in a Dev World. It will always be a never ending story.
Long story short, search for yourself an satisfying combination. If you found one combination you like, stick with it and motivate the Custom ROM Developer and or Kernel Developer.
Edit: as you can read i cannot give a proper answer to your questions. The reason why a Custom ROM Dev doesn't show a list in their OP for working Custom Kernels, is mainly based on the fact that they don't like if a user flash another Kernel that didn't came with their ROM. Mostly to avoid non related ROM issues. Besides that, if you made a decision to flash a Different kernel, along with their ROM, you're on your own.
Sorry for being off-topic.
Each kernel needs to be build for each rom. Well not each rom. Each rom based on the top three. OOS, AOSP, and LOS. As each has their own kernel.
If you use LOS 14.1 or RR, then youll need a los kernel. If you run stock OOS. Freedom or xXx, youll need an oos based kernel
Not all devs build their kernels for los or aosp. Me as an example. I only have mine built for OOS and It wont work on los or aosp (well it may but you are 99.999% likely to run into a lot of problems)
I hope that clears it up a tad bit

@lekiaM You provided a great answer and thank you. I did notice that some developers (xXx NoLimits) provide the option to select various Kernel during the install. I pretty much expected that matching a Rom to Kernel was a crap shoot to certain degree. I am going to try a few out and see how it goes.
One final question, if a Kernel offers functionality that is not offered in the original Kernel, how do you go about taking advantage of the added functionality?
Will the Kernel add those selection to the settings or will I need a different app to access them? I was thinking in particular of the don't wake on plug/unplug. I utilized some ROMs (CM) that had this feature in the setting, I use Freedom OS now and don't see that in the setting, but I see that the Blu Spark Kernel offers access to that function.

It does thanks. Prior to selecting some ROMs to try, I read that AOSP required a specific ROM so I steered away from it, for now. Until I am able to become a little more familiar with the entire subject.

An aosp based rom will install and run like any other rom you decide to flash. It comes with the stock kernel built in
Each rom has their advantages and disadvantages. Currently Im running xXx 4.0 which is OOS based with extra features and then of course my own kernel for better performance and battery
@noncomjd Good question. And honestly I've been wondering that too (most of the time) i could gave you a simple answer on that, but i wont.
A Kernel can interfere with the ROMs behavior (for example manipulate the vibration, sounds, led light strength, button behavior and so on.) But a Kernel has their limits too and also the Kernel Dev in question. Besides that , i did saw some very strange things a Kernel Dev can do to manipulate a ROMs behavior. But i wont go further in that.
Answer to your question:
Yes. A good kernel dev can overwrite or add some tweaks in the ROM itself (you won't see it while flashing, but believe me after that, some things in settings are missing or added in the build.prop) . But as i earlier said it has their limits. A good Kernel Dev is aware of their capabilities. And they mostly play save. If a kernel Dev mentioned or added a feature or something in their changelog, than the feature is there. But to enable or disable that feature, you mostly need an 3rd party app(like a Kernel Manager) to activate or deactivate their added feature.
You need a kernel tweaking app in order to change kernel settings.
You can change those settings even if you run the stock kernel, but it won't offer as much features.
There are many kernel tweaking apps available and some kernels even provide their own apps.
Thanks all for some great information. Have a good base to set out exploring a little more.
As the title suggest, why is there little to none custom kernels for this device.
I've been trying to find custom roms and kernels around but there's just little love for this phone variant, is there a specific reason for this?
and would someone recommend me a good stock kernel that could give a huge performance boost, mainly for gaming.
thanks in advance
I think those are included with the custom rom itself just check for snapdragon roms and kernels.

I was just gifted a new Zenpad P024 and I was hoping to install the latest Android ROM on it so I get hopefully get a speed boot but also to get the most recent OS
Can anyone point me in the right direction with the best ROM to install on this device ?
Well lucky you, cant remember the last time I got a gift related to “tech”
By installing a new ROM you mean custom or stock?

so the first ROM at is listed is the "LineageOS 14.1 " but the provided URL to download the ROM has no relevant information about where to get the ROM, am I missing something ?
https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/p024/
seems like all the ROMs for this tablet are dead
Thats unfortunate.Sorry that I couldn't find one…
