Kernel Comparison (Battery Life and Performance)

Hi, I did some tests to compare custom kernels battery usage and performance.
To evaluate the performance I used antutu benchmark(best of 4 runs),realPi (best result of 5 runs) and CF bench (best result of 3 runs)

I'm running Checkrom v5.

I used the latest version of the kernel:

abyssnote: 3.5c
Speedmod: k1-3
cfroot: 5.0
Fm: v 2.0
Franco Kernel

I used the kernels as they are downloaded and installed..without overclocking,or anything else,unchanged governor.

To evaluate battery life I did a test by my own: running stability test v2.0 for 20 minutes and look at battery %.
Then I also did real life tests.
Here's the results


------------------------------------


BATTERY TEST:

stability test (20 minutes)

-Speed kernel used 12% of battery
-CFroot kernel used 12% of battery
-Abyss kernel used 18% of battery
-Fm kernel used 20% of battery
-Franco kernel used 10% of battery


gps tracking usage

Using oruxmaps,screen always on at min. brightness,gps recording every second,phone on the desk.
I compared cf root kernel,speed kernel and AbyssKernel

Results:

SpeedKernel ---> 6% battery drain in 45 minutes of recording (at 30 minutes 4%)
CFroot ---> 6% battery drain in 30 minutes of recording
AbyssKernel ---> 5% battery drain in 30 minutes
FmKernel ---> 5% battery drain in 30 minutes
franco kernel ---> 5% battery drain in 30 minutes (8% at 45 minutes)


web browsing

test done using stock browser,wifi,minimum brightness and visited the same sites(various contents:flash,java,static pages)

Speedkernel ---> 8% battery drain in 30 minutes of browsing (1 hour--->16%)
CFroot ---> 10% battery drain in 30 minutes of browsing (1 hour --> 21%)
AbyssKernel ----> 10% battery drain in 33 minutes of browsing( 1 hour---->19%)
FmKernel ----> 10% battery drain in 31 minutes of browsing( 1 hour---->20%)
Franco Kernel ----> 10% battery drain in 30 minutes of browsing( 1 hour---->20%)

-----------------------------------------------------------

BROWSER COMPARISON

I was trying Opera browser..and I compared it with stock browser about battery life and using FM kernel.

Stock browser---> 10 % of battery in 31 minutes of browsing

Opera browser----> 7 % of battery in 30 minutes

BENCHMARK TEST



Speed Kernel:||Antutu: 5028 || Quadrant(after 3 runs): 4458 || RealPi(100000 digits):20.94 s || CF bench: 7342

CF Kernel ||Antutu: 6771 || Quadrant(after 3 runs): 4920 || RealPi(100000 digits):20.46 s || CF bench: 7147

Abyss Kernel:||Antutu: 6902 || Quadrant(after 3 runs): 5000 || RealPi(100000 digits):20.42 s || CF bench: 7360

Fm Kernel:||Antutu: 6847 || Quadrant(after 3 runs): 4906 || RealPi(100000 digits):20.60 s || CF bench: 7131

Franco Kernel:||Antutu: 6866 || Quadrant(after 3 runs): 6041 || RealPi(100000 digits):20.59 s || CF bench: 7049

BOOT TIME


Tested several reboots with each kernel.. and measured with a stopwatch the thimes between:

A - From Samsung boot logo ----> to little vibration
B - From Samsung boot logo----> to lock screen

Results

SpeedKernel ---> A: 19 seconds -- B: 26 seconds
CFroot ---> A: 22 seconds -- B: 29 seconds
AbyssKernel ---> A: 22 seconds -- B: 26 seconds
FmKernel ---> A: 28 seconds -- B: 39 seconds
Franco Kernel ---> A: 18 seconds -- B: 25 seconds

I tried the latest version of the kernel:
abyssnote: 3.5c
Speedmod: k1-3
cfroot: 5.0
Fm: v 2.0

I did battery tests in the same condition: airplane mode with no connections.
All the tests done without overclock and uv..just used the kernels as they are.

I'd like to do real life battery tests too like wifi browsing and gps tracking..i'll try soon..

added web browsing test result
