[Q]Glitch kernel for CM7 - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any benefits from using the Glitch/Platypus kernels for CM7 for a person who will not be overclocking their phone. Glitch I see is really just a OC/UV kernel which seems to not have any other enhancement on my phone except for maybe more battery drain, which could be my imagination. I have yet to try Platypus but seems more promising. So for a person who does not OC which kernel would you prefer? Should I just stay with stock CM7 kernel or try Platy for the voodoo lagfix enhancements?

What OC kernals are compatible with cog4?

I'm looking for a kernal for cog4 that won't kill my battery or freeze my phone (sadly the new suckerpunch is a no-go). I'm testing the firebird v2.10 I had with cog v3.04, but idk about speed and battery life. Also has no OC option.

I'm using suckerpunch #54 without a problem. Have you tried paragon?

Well on the kernel page it should say if the kernel will work for 2.x or 2.2.1 roms
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Its based off of speedmod, will work with both 2.2 and 2.2.1 captivate roms. I'm thinking the overclock made it freeze up, which is unfortunate because I'm looking for a bit of stable OC

The only OC kernels I saw out there were i9000 series. Wonder if some true Captivate based kernels will show up.

[Q] Insanity cm 041

Hi,
Just flashed to insanity 041 with semaphore and stock 2.3.5... JVS...
Having really poor battery performance... I've since read the Stock kernel is performing better...
Can anyone advise whether this is the case or if there is better option?...
Also, can't find any links to Stock 2.3.5 kernel, can anyone point me in the right direction?...
Thanks
Stock jvs kernel with cm7????
You need to check the cm7 thread for stock kernel - it is NOT jvs though!

You are already on the stock kernel! Poor battery life is the reality of cm based roms but they are getting better. Give it a couple of chargingcycles and it will improve. You can also try Pimp my Cpu and undervolt some.

[Q] What's The Best Kernel

I am looking in to changing my KERNEL. I am currently using Icy Glitch V14 with Docs ICS Rom V12. I wanted to reflash my phone using another kernel.
Any suggestion for a best kernel out there that is compatible with Docs Master Rom?
Thanks for the HELP
I use mnics ( midnight)... so far the smoothest for me with great battery...

I recommand Devil
I really recommand Devil3 0.72 - works really well - the deep idle really helps improving there the battery life - and the kernel makes this rom really slik and smooth
this is the link if you'll decide to install it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700904

Totally agree with you, but it's also depending on which rom you're using.
Figure out when your device runs the smoothest.
Semaphore and Devil's kernel were the best for my ICS roms

I have to agree I always use Devil kernels. Never had a problem with and version

Thanks guys for the recommendations. Ill try Devil
i use devil's kernel, it's ok but I feel battery leakage in comparison to devil2
I've always used CF-Root kernels for stock Gingerbread ROMs, no problems whatsoever

I agree. I might downgrade to devil2. The battery life on that kernel is amazing. I got 3.5 hours screen on time with 50% battery left.

Try semaphore kernel 1.2.2s a very smooth and great for battery life

@calientboy: I think that doc's v12 with glitch kernel is very laggy. I'm back with my beloved Devil kernel. Also different ROM: TiramiSlim. Very smooth, no lag so far.

Does Midnight also have
- Fast Charge
- noop scheduler
- smartassv2 Governor
- deep idle (actually not that important to me)
- 391 mb (and still 720p recording)?
I have to say that i'm very content with the devil kernel, so i probably won't feel the need to switch to midnight.

I shifted to semaphore 1.2.3 s WITH LINARO CODE (test version) it is GOD
sgs i9000 = god
I'll wait until Devil kernel has incorporated the Linaro code and is properly tested.. I'm not an early adopter

Kernel for performance

Hello all,
I am currently running the CM10.1 (Android 4.2.1) with stock kernel. I've been searching for a kernel to install but that's where I've encountered a problem - I'm pretty new here..
So, what are your suggestions for a kernel? The only thing I care is performance!

use Semaphore JB 2.9.0 kernel
f.e. I can overclock my phone to 120% to all

+1 for semaphore 2.9, 120 live OC stable with mackay ROM 2.3.2. Benchmarks around 4400...have achieved 4600 once.

i use semaphore 2.9.0s they is very stable on my phone with 120% live oc and the Lazerdroid Tweak from Lenarox
I tested 3 Roms with this combination
Use Mackay kernel its faster than sema

Test both kernel and then you see what goes better with you
I've tested all kernels and for me the best performing is Devil.

I prefer semaphore.

Freezes when overclocking.

So there's the problem. If I overclock my phone to 1.2GHz (or 1.4), it freezes at some point when using it (it can freeze on first seconds of booting up or it can freeze after few days). Battery pull is necessary to reboot it, of course. After that it's working agian but there's a question of time when will it freeze again.
Running CM10 stable, Mackay kernel, using NSTools to OC.
Sent from SGS GT-i9000 using magic.
Some phones (like mine) can't handle too much overclock. Most phones can only handle 114% OC to have still stable operation.
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 C-RoM Mix v4
Kernel: Mackay 0.232
Baseband: I9000DXJV9
How do I set the lower value of hertz? Is there any other OC controlling apps for this kernel?
Sent from SGS GT-i9000 using magic.
Sorry, in Mackay kernel the intermediate OC 1100 & 1300MHz were removed by its Developer due to instabilities being experienced by users.
If you want a lower OC, you can use another kernel like Semaphore and Devil.
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 C-RoM Mix v5
Kernel: Mackay 0.232
Baseband: I9000DXJV9
LiveOC or normal? Hardly any SGS handles any more than 114% LiveOC, but if it's not then you might want to try devil kernel for OC stability...

Mine is solid at 124% live oc using semaphore
My semaphore manager app doesn't even let me go past 120%
124%, that's great, but most of what I've seen here and heard from friends makes me think you're one of the lucky exceptions...
Do you adjust voltage?

I used semaphore +nstools without adjusting voltages. Definitely my phone is a lucky exception. It could handle 1.6ghz overclock using glitch kernel (which, sadly, isn't supported anymore)
