[Q] CheckRom V6 & What kernel?

Guys what it the best kernel for checkrom V6?
I mean.. i want advices BUT why did you made such a choice?

For me it is Franco hands down. Tested v2, v6 and the latest 'test' one (this will become v10 tomorrow or the day after, judging by the users' comments), and all proved to be smooth, fast, stable and easy on the battery on my Note.

I would second Franco kernel also. Been using it since v6 had no problems with lag at all. Battery life with this combination seems good as well.

Now this is a good start
I have been in CF ROOT for XXLC1 but i dunno why i feel the stock kernel is a little bit lagged in menus!
Will try Franco Kernel
Thanks for your replys!

Franco 9.....pure awesomeness !! Best battery backup m getting by using it. Earlier tried Abyss 4.2 but got a high battery drain !
Go for Franco !!!

but doesn't changing the kernel change some supported features in the rom ? like ntfs support for instance ?

Check the changelogs of the kernel you are about to use it will give you all the salient features and changes that it has and can happen!

Hey guys,
Don't wanna seem like jacking the thread, but is it possible to install Vertamus's ICS theme in V6?

Yeah of course! I have it installed on my phone. just go to the inbuilt kitchen (update it to the latest version from google play store) and download the file given there under the themes section. Its version1.1 as of now. And install it in recovery !!
Cheers! Hit thanks if it helped!

I was using stock CF-Root and it was fine, but the battery drain was a bit higher vs V5 CheckROM. Installed Franco and its running great, 1.5% Per Hour idle.

was using checkrom v6 with Franco's test kernel. Seems like its draining battery more than stock. Gonna verify it over the nxt few days by using stock

Also on Franco test kernel.

Also on franco kernel v9, works like a charm. Good battery life but no as good as CheckROM v5 & franco v6

For me Franco kernel cause constant sods.
I keep trying a newer versions and still same issue. This problem doesn't occur for me on other kernels

Well Franco works like a charm so far.. have been testing it for over 2 weeks and works very nicely ^^
Can't barely wait for V7.. Gotta wait for jkay's magic

[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:

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 ;-)

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.

Best rom for gaming right now

Guys can you pls tell me which rom is the best for gaming.... I am currently on kingdroid 7 ics but my dark knight rises lags in it..... I dont want my 1.4GHz note to lag any game.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

i dont think there is a "best rom"
every device is a bit different from other
so you can figure out which rom and kernel is working best on your device......

NoteCore Ex seems to work well for gaming purposes..
To be honest, I'd go with a lite ROM, also ensure there's not much such as Live WP etc running and also do you have Chainfire HD installed?
I know Gavin OC's both CPU and GPU in his extreme Kernel releases so this may help you - check his thread he's a great Dev.. Very active and very helpful.. However, As always, SEARCH before posting in the threads as alot of questions have already been asked and answered a hundred times..

Id say gaming is more of a Kernel thing rather than a ROM thing.
Ive been playing dead trigger (with tegra graphics enabled) without a single glitch using NoteCore kernels (latest is V9 EX - OC'd to 1.6ghz) and they are the best kernels available for Samsung ROMs (IMO)
you should give it a try

Best ROM for long battery

As the tittle says, I'm currently running Kingdroid V7.0 which seems to use a lot of battery life.
Now this isn't that much of a problem until now since I'm leaving on a business trip so the main focus for the device is long battery life.
Which ROM would suit me the best in this situation? The stock rom or a custom rom? It needs to be stable and reliable.

I am on stock 4.0.4 and it seems much better, you can also use GB rom during your trip.
Sent from my GT-N7000

I run Stock 4.0.4 with SpeedMod Kernel and I am very pleased with the battery life of this setup..

pair those with k3-13 kernel for 4.0.4,
or speedmod k2-12 for gb and you have even better kickass battery life. I think, could be wrong but gb has longest.
modem is device dependant, but you can change that as well to save battery life.
search development for k2 and modems, k3 is in original.
note : warrantee and root on those, and loss of kies updatability.
note2: with changing roms, prior root and backup efs, dr ketan thread in general o toolbox has good infor for that.
note3: deepsleep is a possible issue on all android, and most of the time cause of battery life issues. It might be wise to use better battery stats and cpu spy for analyzing that. enought theeads on that

Thanks all I will flash the stock rom then. Currently I have the Notecore v9 kernel, how much will this affect my battery life and is the speedmod kernel that much better? I'm a total noob at this kernel stuff, I barely understand the meaning of it so it's all a bit confusing.
And can I flash a kernel by holding power button, home button and volume up method?
Because with the Kingdroid version you had this setup which lets you choose between kernels that's how I got the notecore kernel I think

So the rom itself isn't whats causing the heavy battery drain but it's all about what kernel you use?
EDIT: If I wish to flash a stock rom does it matter what country I pick? Because I actually live in Belgium so closest would be The Netherlands and they are currently on 4.0.3. If I remember correctly I flashed from GB to ICS with Open Germany, does this matter much?

Volume up + home + power will take you to cwm recovery and you can flash custom kernels using it, but it should be in cwm format not in odin .tar (you will have option to download in both formats in kernel threads). Flashing different kernels sometimes helps in improving battery life.

All blame cannot be put on kernel either but changing kernel helps sometimes and it is always recommended to flash your region specific stock firmware only to avoid problems and complications.

About the region, I think I had CSC lux so which means Luxembourg when I bought it. Which would be weird since I bought it in Belgium. Would it matter that much if I flash stock Open Germany?

thats not true, battery drain can be caused by many things, kernel or rom or aplications.
which is why its good to keep an eye out for those.
edit: or unclean installations.
edit2: single or combination of above.

seen some pretty good reviews recently on notecore, cant compare thrm myself but you can definately test which one is better on your device, rom, modem combo
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

Most drain comes from the modem, the kernel (the cpu governor along other things), and rogue apps (usually ad-supported apps).
Of course some roms have issues with the system UI and such.
So the #1 tip to get better battery, find the modem that's best suitable for your country, also use wifi instead of 3g if you can, but if you're out of wifi coverage, turn wifi off or it will drain even more.

I would drop the latest SpeedMod kernel onto your ROM. Very good battery life on all ICS TW ROMs.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

My suggestion for you is cleanote ROM with notecore kernel. The best combination. I get around solid 2 days with nominal usage.

For me i had best results concerining battery consumption with the latest CM9 nightlies and now the CM9 official.
Getting 2 Days out of it with normal eMail-reading a bit surfing the web, quite normal usage.

Would the stock rom in combination with the speedmod kernel give the best results? Can't go back to GB cause I need an application from work which requires me to be on ICS.

It depends upon how you use your device and how many battery hungry apps you have.
The only way to truly know the best combination for you is to do the research on the forums and test the combinations yourself.
For me, the best combination is Rocket ROM, with a lot of stock apps removed, and the NoteCore overclocked kernel (as it is optimally undervolted).

Kernels - SpeedMod k3-13 vs NoteCore v14-1 STANDARD

For a normal everyday user what would be the main differences between SpeedMod k3-13 vs NoteCore v14-1 STANDARD ?
Right now I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 with Stock Samsung ROM 4.0.3 - I've managed to update my phone with the SpeedMod k3-13 Kernel. Perhaps a bit too early to tell but I think my battery life has improved since moving away from stock Kernel to SpeedMod k3-13.
Is NoteCore v14-1 STANDARD likely to improve battery life further?
I mostly use my phone for FaceBook, Internet and watching YouTube Video's or Movies on.
I also want to start trying out different Custom ICS ROMs, do I need to move off of SpeedRom because I read that's for Samsung Only ROMs.
If I do move to NoteCore how safe is it to flash ICS and JellyBean based ROM's from that? I'm really worried about the possibility of bricking my Galaxy Note.

Speedmod and notecore are good kernels for touchwiz roms only.. Either Samsung's or customs...
You gotta try for yourself and see what fits you better...
For aosp roms either ics or jb you can just do the wipes and flash the roms from speedmod or NoteCore, both are safe to do so..

I was using K3-9 on ICS 4.0.3 xxlpy also battery life was good
so it's up to you to decide which kernel will be most battery friendly for your G-Note

-Notecore 14.1std will gv you slightly more smoothness and responsive than speedmod k3-13.
Speedmod k3-13 definetely more battery friendly than notecore 14.1std
I have 2 extra batteries. So...still stick with 14.1std. Cz i like the smoothness of ui and menu scrolling.
Both kernel are great.

If your looking for a better battery life go with speedmod, notecore is also good and more smooth, it also has alot of update mostly every other day.

Netcore for me is superb... The only downside is the time that is required for a full charge

Why does the kernel increase your battery charging time? is that because the phone is drawing more power then it would with SpeedRom ?
I read somewhere that some kernels can increase the maximum charge of the battery so that it lasts longer? And that a lot of times when the battery reads 100% charged and drop the first 10% really quickly is because the battery wasn't really charged to 100%
Does anyone know which Kernels can charge the battery to it's fullest capacity and is it actually safe for the phone?
I don't mind if it means the actual lifetime of the battery is shorter as the batteries are pretty cheap to buy and easy to replace, but I don't want to do anything that damages the actual phone.
