you will be the only one who can choose your Fastest/Smoothest ROM cause peoples have different taste on their roms..
my personal preference is
F1 Innovation HD 7.0
Semaphore 2.4
and
MyICS rom

my preference is
F1 Innovation HD 7.0 + Semaphore 2.4
or
GingerReal2 R2.0.0 + Semaphore 2.4 + Thunderbolt script

My favourite: F1 powered by Semaphore.
Sometimes I'm switching to Supersonic with Galaxian.

[Q] i need help

hello
so here.my friend has samsung galaxy s I9000,and he gave it to me to flash it.now, wont have problems with flashing since im experienced in odin and cwm,but i would need someone to tell me wich kernels and roms should i use.
what i need:best gingerbread kernels,and best ics kernels.ill try many roms in this two days i would have this phone,but my only concern is the kernels.
i am also thinking about to make MegaBassBeats for GS gingerbread users.but i would need your help then.thanks

All ics kernels are great, midnight, semaphore, devil and glitch. Personally I find midnight and semaphore most stable.

Try slim ics, doc master with glitch or devil kernel

That's for gb, I don't see the point in using gb still.
ICS is stable and by far superior, slim ICS with devil or midnight kernel. Anyone would love that combo.
Sent from my I9000 running Slim ICS 3.6.

I tried both,and cm7 is faster.and got everything working.you need to understand that 3.0 kernel on gingerbread isnt a small thing.its above-average

Which is best kernel forJW4 ?

Please advice me as to which is the best kernel for JW4 gb rom. I am using Semaphore 2.7.4 sc and still find lots of lags and phone hanging. And also tweaked the cpu to Smartass.
Thanks !

semaphore!!!!!

Any reason to change kernels in CM10?

I'm running CM10 nightly, and wondering if I will gain any performance improvement (without OC) and longer battery life if I flash one of the alternative kernels on XDA (looking at Devil and Semaphore as those seem to be the most popular)?

yes and yes, but it all depends on how you configure the kernel options and how you use your SGS...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

yes, definitely!
but to get the "best" result, of course you have to let it settle for atleast 3 days..
here is a youtube link on how to flash them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCBN-_zu5cY
i hope this helps,
cheers

Thanks for the answers. I was hoping for recommendations, do you have any?
Semaphore is looking good to me. Opinions?

I'd go with semaphore for ICS...
But for CM10 I'd use Devil..
But that's just me

If you want stability then semaphore.But if you want more tricks to make your phone even faster it is devil of course. There is one more kernel to try Mackay.
Test each to get the right one for you.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Semaphore is the one you need .
What else from having great speed with stability. Yeah, maybe Devil could provide some more speed, which is unnoticeable, for me at least.( except the benchmark tests )

Sema is the most stable one.
But devil isn't bad too.
Try them. But give your phone about 5 minutes after flashing and don't be frustrated when it's a bit laggy after first reboot.
Last days I tryed makay. --> I prefer sema
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

I prefer devil. My phone still lasts a whole day (7am - 12pm) and is much faster. I like all the options.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

On JB roms i always use the devil kernel even if the Semaphore is a very good kernel, Devil kernel allows me to entirely use my phone's habilities with no more battery drain than Sema

you will instantly notice more speed and smoothness with flashing semaphoer kernel.
+ more speed if you set up liveOC to 114%

Does anyone have any links? I'm using CM10 nightly and need a kernel so that BLM and Voodoo sound will work. I tried the latest semaphore 2.8.0 via Odin but the phone would not boot.

You should read the description more carefully. The 2.8 kernel is for JB 4.2 not CM10. Flash the 2.6.5 kernel.

I have few more questions...will i flash only kernel or i need to flash the rom together with kenrel...and can i use odin to flash kernel?Sorry for all thease questions im noob guy in this area

You don't have to flash a rom if you're happy with the one you're using. And you can download .zip's and flash in CWM if you like, but I've found that the only times I've ever got into a boot loop when flashing a kernel are by doing it this way. Not that it has happened often. But for that reason, i prefer to flash my kernels .tar in odin, I've never had a problem doing it that way, but whatever way you choose to do it take a nandroid first, just in case.

Glad to hear it. No problem
Download semaphore manager app if you haven't already done so. Also, if you used the (s) version, you need to make sure and select the bigmem option in semaphore manager and reboot for settings to take effect. Then you have 403MB RAM.

Flash a Semaphore kernel designed for ics. See http://www.semaphore.gr/homepage/semaphore-ics which also has links to xda-developers.

I downloaded Semaphore_ICS_1.3.0. That's all i need, right ?
Just choose this file on PDA and flash ?
EDIT: I already did that and worked.
Only 1 thing: after flashing, i had to push the power button to start ... didn't had to reboot after flash ?

Semaphore 1.3.0 is the one you need. You can flash it through Clockworkmod recovery, its the easiest way. Don't forget to wipe cache and dalvyk cache before flashing a new kernel. Besides semaphore you could also try devils kernel 1.0.3. It is more performance oriented. Flash the one you like. The only thing I don't like about semaphore 1.3.0 is that wifi tethering doesn't work.
Reboot after flashing is crucial, but if you have the new semaphore configuration app, you did it right! Just reboot one more time to be sure everything works alright.

Knowing I am being offtopic: Whats your battery like on cm7?
Cause with cm9 and semaphore you shouldn't have had a huge drain...

On CM7, the battery life is good (1,2 days). On CM9 it sucks... i had to recharge after 15-16 hours max,everytime.
