Best Rom for battery life

[craig8868]

Hi everyone. I just got my nexus last week and loving it so far. Rooted and flashed AOKP buld 31 rom yesterday. I was wondering what rom would be best for battery life? I purchased the extended battery but still not getting great battery life yet. I unplugged at 8am today and currently have 16% battery left. I would appreciate any thoughts!!

Thanks

a kernel will give you better battery life...i personally get great battery life running the franco 121 nightly kernel

Does the kernel just underclock to boosts battery life?

No, not just underclocking involved with a kernel. A kernel can do tons of things to increase battery life, actually some don't even allow for underclocking at all. New governors, removal of rarely used/unnecessary features, updates to new code, undervolting, among many other tweaks.

+1 for Franco. I suggest buying the updater app. Wheel worth the money. Gives a lot of control.
