Best Kernels for battery life?

[jrdrag]

My phone (if I stay in my area) will last me a full day and end around 9 PM at around 40% battery.

Today, after going into the city (where my signal is basically none. Another reason why I'm switching away from sprint, absolutely the worst service I've experienced.) I end at about 30% at 6 PM

So, I'm not going to do anything with my phone as far as settings, I just want to know if there's any custom kernels that would help me. Thanks.

I can't really judge too much yet, but I flashed ktoonz yesterday, seems to be eating my battery a little but more than the kernel my rom came with

A new kernel won't really help. All a kernel does is interact between hardware and software. You said you have no signal in the city, that is what is eating your battery. A cell will practically kill itself to maintain the weakest of signals.

I agree. When I visit my parents who live in the foothills east of Los Angeles my reception is bad, and as a result my battery life is as well.

But honestly if you still have 40% remaining on your battery by 9PM you have it really good. I couldn't pull that off if I spent a day under a cell tower.

I think some kernels can make a difference when your phone is idle, but if you're actually using a phone the things that affect battery life are screen brightness, signal strength, and how much data you're moving. A Kernel won't, I don't believe, make a lot of difference in those things.
