Stock kernel and the ROM already improves battery by around 30% (article from android police I think) compared to a 4.4.4 stock ROM. There's not much development going on with the dev preview of L except for compatibility from apps on the play store. There is one kernel however that works with Android L, and it's called "code blue kernel" on the xda threads. I had the thread subscribed once but I just couldn't make this preview my daily driver so I stop watching the thread, it's still there though. In the kernel site, you have to pick the version that's in the 1000s I think under test downloads ( http://www.engstk.org/code_blue/). Pick hammerhead builds as you already should know.

Code blue is the only custom kernel I'm aware of. Franco isnt supporting it since everything is going to change before L is publicly released anyway. I assume thats probably the stance of most of the other devs.

As far as the Ars article - they did see battery life improvement, but the test was strictly screen on time internet browsing. I would've liked to see something more in-depth, as L should bring substantial improvements.
