I've tried them both and even though Slim has some nice features I'd go with cm9 nightlies because it's an easier to use software straight out of the box in my opinion. And right now they're updating them every couple days that I found stability to be fantastic already, not to mention the great battery life.

Yeah i thing slim 3.3 is goox too but there to many ICS roms.

On my personal experience, where in i have used Teamhacksung, CM9, Onecosmics and now iam on Elite ICS 10.1.
The best is Elite "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575683"
with Midnight Hugemem kernel (BM Kernel MNICS-143LR),
which is provided with the rom in the "Actualizador" app the ROM provides,
plus flash this script "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24723427&postcount=513" for getting the 720p recording to work.
Trust me, really good combination of ROM and Kernel, Very smooth and stable.
And About Slim, it lacks many things, which if u used any other ICS rom yu would know, and CM( is very unstable as for now, but sometime later is gonna be the best one for sure.

Try AOKP official. It's nice.

Kernel differences

I've looked it up but found nothing relevant. So...
What's the difference between the different kernels available for ace? For example, firekerneloc vs blackhawkoc or cf-root. Where can i find the info on whether they support swap partition an stuff like that?
Thnx

Fire kernel has support and has new sources. About the infos I think you can find it in feature list in the thread or just try it.

Latest kernels have support and upgraded sources. Cf-root is for stock roms. Firekernel is latest for cm versions

Thank for the clarification, I've been looking for a kernel that gives me BLN and works with a stock rom, but I'm a bit confused some roms come with a ton of features and I dont know if they will work for a normal rom (must of th ones I've read say it works for CMX or TWX etc but none mention stock roms)!

I use battery extender as kernel for stock rom and is working great.

Okay; so I am on Battery Extender (1.4, I believe), using S'perience ROM (based on CM7), what advantages, if any, would FirekernelOC or BlackhawkOC give me in terms of performance or battery life?
Another thing: I've seen both FirekernelOC and BlackhawkOC being used in different versions of the same ROM (take Democracy, for instance), what is the difference between the two?
thnx

Why do you use Battery Extender kernel on a CM7 based ROM?
Battery Extender is for Stock ROM

I've 2.3.6 Stock UBKPL ... I want to install the battery extender 1.5 ... also I want to activate the swap, but I don't know if using swap reduces performance of the battery ... ???

That's exactly my point. Where can I get all these differences? I just read lots of opinions about these kernels but can find no precise information about them. Where can read about them? Forums are a mess and the search function becomes almost useless when you try to refine search to kernel related posts.

S Perience ROM? Its a stock based ROM!

CM 10.1 kernels

Hi
Is it okay to run a cm 10.1 kernel with rocketROM v4,i've been told that the cm 10.1 kernels have fixed the exynos exploit.
Also does the camara still work with this kernel?
Thanks for any help offered

It's not ok because it won't work. Check chasmodo's thread for working combinations of Kernel and Android version.
If you want a JB based Rom (like XXLSA or C) you'll have to wait for an official release from Samsung with a fixed kernel.

Thanks for the response mate,much appreciated.
Can i ask you,is there any rom weather jb or ics based it doesn't matter,that has incorparated into it the exynos exploit fix.
Like i say i'm not fussed,any custom rom that has the fix would interest me.
So i can just flash it and i would be protected from the exynos exploit.
Once again,thanks for your help pal.

First you should look for a kernel with the fix (see MaxFu's kernel, in N4 he has fixed the problem) and then use this kernel in the Custom Rom (ICS) you like. For JB you'll have to wait for Samsung.

Sorry, you won't get an answer from me - I do not even make my normal sarcastic statements about this question :angel:.
The best CR is always the Rom you like. So read the OPs for descriptions of the features and choose the one you need.

Favorite custom kernel and why?

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136767
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.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

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."

[Q] Kernel based on 3.4 or higher

Hallo,
I want to ask the devs if there ideas to build kernels based on higher kernel versions. My former phone (S plus) had a 3.4 kernel which had good influences on performance.

Kernels can only be built if the source is released .

But I guess the sources of the kernels are open since these are Linux kernels. Anyway the devs of the S plus also managed this. So it should be possible for the S3 too.

Yeah, you're right. Devs in Galaxy S Plus i9001 built the 3.4 Kernel, but it was not easy and took several months to build stable kernel.
First kernels were built on LKA sources and they switched to CAF.
They also built BIGMEM kernels - Standard kernel RAM was ~350MB and with BIGMEM kernel it could go to 370 (still all was working) and 390 MB (in this case 720p recording was broken).

I know that all. My former phone was a S plus.
They really made a great job. So could it be possible to use the sources of the developer team and port them to the S3.
The 3.4 kernel runs so well. Its really great
