[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

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.

I too am using Semaphore 1.3 with smartasv2 governor, no problems here either, i recommend it !

[Q] What Kernel are you using with what Rom and why?

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
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

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] 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.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda premium

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

Go for semaphore.. It is awesome...

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...

CyanogenMod (CM) 9 is really outdated. If you want a good, fast ROM I can recommend Slimbean. It's largely based on CM. You can find more info here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060374
Detailed instructions can be found in that thread and on the slimrom website.
Coming from Gingerbread you'll need to install CM10 first, otherwise you will lose your IMEI, which will render your phone unable to make or place calls. Once on CM10 you can then flash Slimbean.

Or using an newer version of CM

Like i said in the original post i wanted rom cm9 with devil 3 kernel but still didnt know what that means...( the kernel part)
Now that i got the cm10 ive searched around videos on youtube and seen lot of ppl kinda overclocking it with diferent kernel...
I want to do it like with semaphore or some kernel thing... can someone explain to me how it is done and if it is good for the phone?
Some infos:
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband vers: I9000xxJVT
Kernel version: 3.0.76-gc0a8d45
Memory: 369 mb
Cm vers: 10.1.2-galaxysmtd

Okay different kernel i have no experience with it ,sorry...
But overclocking is available with the stock-kernel in CM 10 ...to about 1200mhz in the performance menu under your settings ...have you activate developer options and performance...do you know how to do it???

Your clock isnt stable go download semaphore kernel or devil kernel and flash it in recovery and try then over clocking with their kernel managers.

Do i flash semaphore kernel same way i installed ROM?
Will semaphore replace current ROM (cm10)??
Did some1 had any problems with semaphore kernel ? like bricking the phone? is it stable?
Is anyone at the current time having cm10 with smaphore kernel overclocking at 1.2ghz ?
Does Sgs i9k support the overclock stable?

You flash semaphore the same way you flashed your rom and it will replace stock cm kernel your rom will stay the same make sure you flash the right version to avoid any bricking. It makes cm run better. Overclock depends on your phone some people can overclock high some not so much. Download semaphore changer governor to sio and liveoc to 110% and set min frequenci 400Mhz. That should be enough to make it supper smooth

I don't get it why do you want to flash another kernel? Aren't you happy now with smooth CM10.1x? Here on this forum are many flashing freaks who flash and overclock their phones until the device completely crashes.
CM10.1x is excellent already way it is, if you want to even improve it (first of all to get about double battery life) just upgrade it to the newest nightly version of CM10.2 tomorrow (build 20130828), it will finally have all bigger bugs fixed. Very soon, stable CM.10.2 build will be released out of this nightly. This is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385178
If you want to do it, just mind that the developer (pawitp) doesn't mention anymore installing gapps, so this would be the workflow from your present ROM:
Do a Nandroid Backup of your CM10.1.2 build before the upgrade!
Go to CWM recovery mode and check first in "install zip" if your zips of the CM10.2 and Gapps for 4.3 are visible on your internal SD card
Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache (under "advanced")
Install the nightly ROM zip from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Install Gapps for CM10.2 (Android version 4.3) while still in recovery
Restore /data from Nandroid Backup (the update will wipe your /data) while still in recovery
Reboot system
The partition layout of CM10.2 (beginning from 20130816 nightly) differs of that of CM10/CM10.1. The first install will wipe your /data to switch to the new layout, but after that you may use CWM to restore/backup data of CM10/10.1/10.2 (in CWM recovery under "advanced restore" then "restore data" from your CM10.1 nandroid backup)
This way done, you should have all data, wallpaper, widgets and apps like in your CM10.1 right after the reboot. And wait until tomorrow, when the 20130828 nightly gets released. I've been using "buggy" builds (nightlies between 24 and 27 Aug) without any problems, but some people had problems with them.
