Hi I'm new to the cappy forums and want to see what perks and such there are in the custom kernels, so I'm asking what custom kernel are you using ( if any) and why that one, is it because of features, stability, performance, etc.

I mainly use Nick0703's Unofficial Semaphore because of Step OC and In-Call Volume settings.

For your Xylon 2.3.3. ROM use "sc" or "s_vc_c" version (with Voodoo Color).

What exactly is the difference between sc, vc , c, and s?
At My main phone's forums (Samsung infuse 4g) we don't have any custom kernels yet, one is in the works but that's it so flashing custom kernels is kinda new for me, so any details would be great. Also I am very thankful that you added in which type I should be using for my install ROM, I flashed devils kernel to try out, and thinking about trying the dual boot one, but I want to find out add much add possible about the advantages and disadvantages of the different kernels before choosing a daily driver.

Normal version "c" is for most ROMs, version "sc" is for Slim based ROMs. Your Xylon 2.3.3 runs better with "sc" version.
"vc" stands for Voodoo Colour mod. Download Voodoo Sound app from the market to have VS/VC control.

Which version of the unofficial semaphore should I use with the PAC MAN ROM?

based off of the post above yours i would say "C" cuz if im not mistaken PAC is primarily CM Based, but i would wait for actual confirmation before proceeding
I don't remember what kernel version PAC uses, but just install the ROM and look what kernel it comes with. PAC ROM is ported by the same dev - Nick0703. Most likely the default kernel is already his Unofficial Semaphore, therefore no kernel change needed. PM him to confirm.
If you come from a CM ROM the kernel will stay the same.

This is what the dev said
"You can use any version that you want. But if you're using the "s" version then you'll need to flash HugeMem libs also."

I'm used to BLN in other ROM'S. CM7 used to have it, but the feature seems to be missing in the newer builds. Any way to get it back??
you can get that in a custom kernel... check the dev section for CM7 kernel's and see which one is best for you.

I'm on "The Classic Rom" after Criskello has seized supporting his ROM. The Classic ROM is super stable coupled with the HydraCore kernel.

I don't suggest any ROM until you really tried one for yourself. What might work for others might NOT necessarily work for you...
So it's better you have to really try one (by flashing it), or look it up on each ROM threads you can find here on this forum.
Again, different strokes for different folks... Trust and rely yourself more than just taking the words of other people... Try to flash each ROM you like until you'll settle down to the one that really suits your liking....

I am using RocketROM v.11 with SpeedMod Kernel k3-13.
This combination runs pretty smooth and no any reboot needed.
I am using my GN for business with no game at all, so I am not chasing for top speed.
Hope this could give you some hints.

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
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
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.

Semaphore works just fine on 2.9. look in the dev thread and read a bit about the features. Devil works just fine also and has tons more features. Again, take the time to read mainly the OP's of the associated threads to figure out which additional config apps to use and how the features work. Utilize the search function if necessary
Semaphore http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816087 Choose the sc (slim captivate) version .zip and flash in recovery
Devil http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811313
Devil downloads are located here. http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/jellybean/Cappy/181/
Choose the .zips of either the CMC (cyanogen mod color) or VC (voodoo color mod) and flash in recovery.
Don't use the .tars unless you plan on flashing with odin
Now that i've spoon fed you the material, i hope you take my advise and do some reading, otherwise i or someone will try to assist you in unbricking your device
Thanks a lot I will definitely read up on some things

Hello. I tested many Roms and Kernels and i cant choose one. I'm using Cm11 but i think its kernel is slow. Semaphore? Mackay? CyanoCore? Meybe any other? Which Kernel you preffer?
kernel
I prefer Semaphore. Good kernel with many options, bigmem etc. CM 11 work fast on it.
I've used Mackay since... Well, a long time. The reason I prefer it over Semaphore is its capability to send MMS. I can't send them with Sema, though a good kernel it is otherwise.
