[Q] What Kernel are you using with what Rom and why? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title suggests I would like to know what kernel people are using with what Rom and why.
Do you use the same Kernel with every Rom you flash?

Well im on stock 2.2.1 froyo with CF-ROOT kernel. got this phone as present lats week. haven`t flash it yet xD but ,as anyone here, i just love flashing

I am using cm9 nightlies - based on 4.0.4 because of its stability, good battery life and performance, settings + twics - tw launcher, weather widget and some other things from sgs3, atm with devil3 .79 kernel, with stock ram (378mb, if needed, i can increase it up to 403mb), stable oc up to 1400mhz (with semaphore 1140max., 1200 -> bootloop), also gpu is oc-able ... but if u dont want to oc, semaphore kernel is better for u

I'm reinstalling right now the miui speed ics by lucainno, with devil3 kernel. I really love this rom expecially for the layout, which is different from any other rom! The speed is great and battery life as well. And the kernel is simply... awesome! For its customization

Hi, I'm using ics 4.0.4 cna by franzy with the midnight kernel. I had the devil before but i got a bootloop. With the last midnight the phone is smooth, no lags, good battery life, no bugs until now !

Saurom jw5 + semaphore + ext4 works for me.. very smooth ops. Sticking to 2.3.6 for the fm radio

I'm running the CM9 nightlies as well, with a Semaphore kernel. Very stable and good batteri life, although I'm thinking about comparing with a devil3 kernel. Right now, with the battery life I'm having the most important thing for me is the stability, though.

[Q] BEST ROM with BEST KERNEL with NO CRASHES

OK So this is the burning question i have to ask next. ??
!!!! N-7000 SERIES ONLY !!!!!
BEST ROM with FULL Galaxy Note Spen Functionality and all the Touchwiz apps.
with WHAT KERNEL ?
and how long have you been running the rom? with how often does the rom Crash (making the phone do a soft reboot)
I am very curious to see what people are running on there Gnote since now that the Gnote now is becoming so popular. i am personally running Checkrom NOTEHDv5 with normal CF kernel and it is stable but sometimes it crashes and there alot of bugs. and i am in the market to changing roms but this is my DAILY use PHone so i am curious what my proud Gnote friends are running on there devices.
i used many of the roms out there and i end up using the new midnote 2.2
i think its the best ics rom so far , with every thing working on it . the good thing about it is down clocked to 1.2 ghz , which is good for the battery .
My choice:
Rocket ROM v23 with Franco Kernel (latest test-version).
Fast, stable, super battery-life. Couldn't be happier with a gingerbread-combination.
Lol i don't know what one i want to switch to :-\
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
I try many roms and i find this:-
- if you like ICS but without full galaxy note functionality go as AOSP latest vesion
- if you like ICS with full galaxy note functionality go as midnote 2
- if you like gingerbread with battery life go as checkrom
that is my personal opinion
but i want to know, why all people go to rocketrom not checkrom ?
Yes!! What Elk said.. RR V23 with Franco #9
I personally like checkrom but i am using hardcore's kernel and its amazing
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
CheckROM HD. I tried 4 or 5 ROMs including TeamRocket but this is by far the best. 3-4 days of battery life with light usage, NO crashes, kitchenpro app (google it!).. pretty amazing for me!

[Q] What's the best, most stable, less buggy ICS ROM for i9000?

What are you using and which kernel are you using it with?
Hi!
I've used almost all ICS roms and I think "CodeNameAndroid" and "Nexus S Port by EliteV9"(the base of my rom) are the best ones in this moment
I'd recommend Slim ICS, really good rom, quick and good battery life. I'm using it with Semaphore 0.9.7b, everything seems to work pretty well. Currently in the process of trying different modems for it, trying to get a better gps fix.
Nexus S Port by EliteV9.1
I am using the MIUI-2.3.33 from lucainno
With 3.1.10 IcyGlitch Kernel. But it really needs much energy...
best rom
I think , IMM76D ELITE V 9.1 WITH DEVIL 2_0.62 KERNAL........is the best conf. u ever get till now...............devil kernel was just awsome.....402MB ram...............just go with these confi.
I have try the Elite v9 it is a really good rom.
But now that CodeNameAndroid would be based on ICS 4.0.4 I will try it to
Usually I use the semaphore kernel but it is a personal preference.
I am very happy with my Cyanogenmod 9 AOSP nightly builds.
I am using the latest nightly buid (2012-04-02)
And i am really pleased with the performance!
Installation was done with CWM and easy as pie!
My fav is AOKP build 28 with devil2_0.62 kernel.
most stable rom
flash IMM76D ELITE V9.1 with DEVIL KERNAL 2_0.62.........390MB RAM..............................the best combination so far..............n stable
Elite 9.1, 4.0.4 aosp based, without any doubt.
Best Rom
Here ELite`s v9.1 4.04 with Kernel Devil 0.6.2
WOrks like a charm!!

can someone who used slim v3.1 with semaphore .9.8sbm please compare with elite v9.1 rom?is it better than slim 4.0.4 version?
also does devil kernel 402 mb version break HD playback and other formats?semaphore .9.8sbm only breaks 720p recording.playback and everything else just fine.
best one : INFINITUM-v1.1.0 with glitch kernel
Elite 9.1 and devil2 0.64. So far so fast and stable with as good battery life as darkyrom GB.
Tried dark knight 4, lots of minor lag and fc here and there.
I'm quite happy with Team ICSSGS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223 and RC4.2. Have been using it for some time now and so far didn't discover any deal breakers.

Am happy with Team ICSSGS R4.2 at the moment (with Semaphore 1.0.0s)... Stable with decent performance...
They are working on R5 so, expect that to be awesome as well...
EXTRAordinary_4.0.4_beta9
Among all ICS ROM I have tested (which is many about 1234 ) this one is one of better but of course with other kernel ( midnight ICS 0.90-2 - faster and more stable).Battery life is great almost two days.Only one problem I can`t solve ,I try to fix Google Store but still have problem (Update for Google play could not be downloaded due an error 940 ) . Any help ?.....For now this is the best ICS ROM...i think...

[Q] Devil3 Kernel over Semaphore(CM9)

I had CM7-1.0 before with pawitp kernel.
Today, I flashed the latest CM9 nightly and right now am on the stock kernel.
I have the following kernels with me at the moment:
—Semaphore ICS Kernel from here
—Devil3 from here
My questions:
Which one of these Kernel will give me the best battery life and is fast at the same time?
Will I get a bootloop if I flash either of these kernels over the stock kernel which comes with the CM9 nightly?
There are both BLN and CMC kernels on this page. Which one should I be using?

1. Try it yourself, flashing kernel is about 1 minute. Both kernels are great.
2. Try it yourself, bootloop isn't yet diagnosed. Sometimes it happens sometimes not.
3. there are only 2 versions: cmc (cm colours) and vc (voodoo colours).
Also before flashing wipe cache/dalvik and clear init.d and ns tools

Hi, before you flashing a new kernel, flash first the kernel cleaning script from lipol. then you have no problems with the new kernel.
And what you think about midnight Kernel? I use this Kernel and i'm very happy with them. You have with that kernel a very good Battery life. :thumbup:
via Tapatalk 2
Used to always use kernel cleaning script lately Kernel cleaning script gives me boot loop nearly everytime.
Wipe cache, wipe dalvick, clear ns tools and clear init.d is fine.
Of the kernels you have mentioned i have found semaphore to have better battery and to be more stable unless you want to over clock. Or that is my experience anyway.

After using stock cm 9 kernel for quite a while I was curious to try out semaphore and regretted it only hours afterwards...
With Antutu Benchmark App I got 400 Points less compared to stock kernel... after some hours my phone hang up (black screen, ne wake up). Some hours later the next black screen... Finally I got back to stock kernel and I am happy again
Its very fluid and responsive, in my opinion there is really no need für a custom kernel in CM9, only if you need USB Host support and the ability to overclock...
I'm using devil3 kernel and I love it, it's just awesome. I think it's more customizable than semaphore, but a bit harder to set. Anyway, you should test by yourself both of them, remember to flash lippol's kernel cleaner before flashing a new kernel

Devil kernel is the best for me. I love all the options and speed. I over clock to 1.4GHz, use lulzactive governor with smooth UI profile and everything is tuned for performance and I still get almost 2 days on battery. Using cm9
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
I would suggest devil kernel, it has a very good battery live, some great features like swap or zram
And BTW: Just flash your kernels over each other, no use to flash kernel cleaning script neither wipe dalvik cache. it has nothing to do with kernels ;-)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Devil3 for me too. As well as being fast and having decent battery life, it's the only kernel that had voodoo color. Once you've found the best settings for your screen there's no going back.

Devil3 for me too. It works like a charm. :good:
I'm running CM9 stable with Semaphore 1.3 on 1.2GHz and smartassV2 governor.
Never had any problems with semaphore so i keep using it. my battery lasts for 1 day while running games for several hours, and up to 4 days, if i barely use it.
i know many people don't like benchmarks, but i thought i'd attach my quadrant-score anyways.

[Q] Which kernel

Hello,
I would like to flash a custom kernel to my SGS which is running CM9 nightly.
I had CF-Root kernel and semaphore when my phone was running GB.
Now i have ICS on it and i want to oc it so i need a custom kernel.
Which is the best? Semaphore was very good when i was using GB
Because it has so much tweaks and other things.
So i maybe install Semaphore or should i try other kernels?
use semaphore. its stable. keep it as backup and try other kernels. when and if they go Kaput or bootloops go back to semaphore. performance max is for devil. but in my case it proved unstable after a while. that's just me thou.
I tried semaphore 1.2.5 but it goes to bootloop
Bootloops are often caused by not clearing/wiping cache(s) from recovery console after flashing.
Semaphore 1.2.6 is latest one. To try that. Also clear cache, dalvik cache, init.d and ns tools.

i have 2 Recommended
1. you have midnight kernel for ics - very stable and save your battery power/
2. devil 3 - very fast kernel for gamer's . very good with OC.
SEMAPHORE

Semaphore is the be(a)st in my opinion
Devil all the way! So many options. My phone is totally dialed for performance. And never crashes. Ever. I love it.

It depends wether you want to spend your days forever tweaking or you want out of the box no problems.... for the latter use semaphore
You'll find that most of the kernels are based on the CM9 kernel (by pawtip) and simply add extra features, or default settings. Semaphore is a good mix between 'flash and go' and tinkering, so whether you want to just leave it as default or OC, UV etc you can
What the **** ? Devil3 of course bro ! Test it, you wont change the kernel ever !!!
On CM9 first i used MNICS (midnight) without any problems. Then i switched to Semaphore but experienced a lot of problems with several versions. So i switched back to MNICS, perfect battery and fast but not a lot of tweaking.
Now i'm on Tiramislim v2 with the devil kernel and its superfast and good tweakable. Has a lot of governors and a lot of settings, all you can wish for!
Dude, you should use DEVIL
in my opinion, devil is the best kernel for ics!!
semaphore is fine, but a lot of features are missing..(such as blink status, "cpu governor"- there are 4 governor only.. in devil and other kernels for ICS u can find over 10..) and a lot of other stuff are missing.. semaphore has poor features and for me, devil was even faster and better than semaphore..
I used both of them- semaphore first for 2 weeks and after that switched to devil and ive been using it like 1month so far..
)and few days ago I switched for semaphore in my brother's phone.. after 1 hour changed it to devil 2 like mine.. really tons of things are missing..)
in conclusion:
devil is the best! stable+ fast+ deep sleep+ includes tons of features and great OC (thats what u want..)
semaphore- fine, but a lot of features and options are missing, not high OC, no blink and WAY MORE..
(&devil is faster) both of the kernels are battery friendly.

[SOLVED] Kernel recommendation for Jellybam ROM (CM10.1)

Hey guys,
currently running Jellybam 5.2.0 on my phone (JB 4.2.1), a great ROM, however I am not that content with the Kernel (which is CM kernel).
Games ran better and smoother on the stock ICS ROM with stock Kernel, also I got better scores on Quadrant.
Can you guys recommend an alternative Kernel that I can use with this ROM? Already tried HydracoreNirvana n6 and it got stuck at boot screen.
Thanks in advance

Guys I need some help...also very sorry if this is a nooby question...
