[Q] Request: EC05 Kernel with keyboard fix and no other tweaks

I have tried the other Kernels available , Genocide, Twilight etc. The performance gains are real and it is amazing what the developers are doing.
However I have significant instability with these Kernels compared to Stock. I use my phone for business and stability is #1 priority for me. The only fix I really need is the skipped key press bug. I am running stock now but the keyboard is unusable without the fix.
Would one of the developers that knows what they are doing have time to compile a stock kernel with only the skipped keyboard fix implemented?
Thanks!

I'm like you, I want stability above all else and I only wanted the skipped keyboard fix. I don't care about overclock/undervolting and what not. Just want something stable. Although this kernel has some other minor changes, it's pretty much stock.
I just flashed this kernel this morning and haven't had any issues thus far but it's only been a few hours.
I'll report back tomorrow and let you know if I run into any issues.

Wrong section dude this need to be in general.

Clean Kernel EC05 should suit you well, and finally has a proper post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053252
It has no volting done, and has the same performance as the stock kernel.
Hope you like it!

Just wanted to say thanks again for compiling that kernel. Downloaded voodoo controller from the market as well. Didn't realize what I was missing as far as sound quality!

Not to rudely question your decision, but have you tried any customs that support voltage control? (Currently only genocide, but twilight is promising it soon). I used to have terrible instability, but it was because my phone couldn't handle undervolting... genocide + voltage control removing undervolt fixed that.
On a side note, if you decide to try genocide make sure you go to the end and look for the 1.0.1 test build, it fixed the kswapd0 high cpu usage bug (rare, but definitely made the phone less stable). I've had 18 hours of perfect uptime (not battery of course) since installing the update, and I have large tendancy to max out my phone.

I'd like to have stock, ext4, and keyboard fix. Stability is my #1 priority as well...that being said, I'm running the Genocide kernel at stock speed, and it seems pretty stable. Been using now for a matter of weeks.

[Q] Best Kernel for battery life/stability

Hi I am flashing this phone for a friend and I come from the Samsung Captivate so its fairly similar. Only question I have and I hope someone can help without flaming me is which Kernel would you suggest? Im going with Infused 1.5.2 as the rom and I am just curious what pairs with that best? Thanks in advance.

if you're one of those "set it and forget it" types... i was incredibly pleased with the latest release of gtg's infusion 1.5.2 rom/kernel combo. very responsive, smooth and snappy. by far my favorite of all his releases to date for this phone.
if you're the type that likes to do a bit of fiddling for an ultimately rewarding end result, i recommend installing the above mentioned rom with bedwa's OC/UV kernel. i've had nothing but a smooth and stable experience with the two paired together. nothing but good things to say about both of these. having voodoo lagfix alone makes a huge difference. when you combine that with overclocking you get a device that feels much more awake and ready to perform. undervoltage allows you to use less battery power, even though the cpu is running at a higher frequency. really, makes a HUGE difference. cannot express how pleased i am with these two running together.
*i might also add that i've never installed any of the other roms. i have tried the defuse kernel with BLN was introduced(it has since been removed due to buggy issues).

cool man. no problem. infused rom makes a world of difference in itself.

I've had the best battery life and stability on Infusion 1.5.0
Overclocked to 1.6, with the right undervolting i lost 3% battery over night (9+ hours)
I tried the 1.8 infusion but "OnDemand" stops working and thats my favorite setting so I went back to 1.5.0

I never had good luck with ondemand, along with most other users. Ondemand always FC'd on me

[Q] Custom Kernel

I installed the Infused 1.5.3 ROM on my Samsung Infuse 4G.
I've been looking around at the kernels, and I was just wondering if the one that goes with Infused 1.5.3 is fine as-is or if there's a more stable one that also provides better battery life and speed.
Stay with what I've got, or go with a different one?

Most people are happy with the kernel thats included in the phone already but custom kernels provide much more options as far as battery life, over/underclocking, over/undervolting, the way the cpu treats the voltages. It is all in preference.

Thanks for the information, but I understand this much.
I'm more looking for the most stable custom Kernel for my model of phone, and if they even do much better than stock. (If it's worth even flashing.)

Mostly all custom kernels are worth flashing. The hardest part is choosing so people usually flash 1 for a couple days to test out and flash another for the next couple of days and so on.

I'll look into it, but will Kernel flashing delete my data like ROM flashing did? I know it was from choosing the delete cache and data setting before I flashed, but do I have to do that this time? (Or is Kernel flashing super different?)

Thank god. Though it's not much trouble reinstalling apps so much as it is doing the entire setup process from scratch.

Right now there isn't much difference between the kernels out there except for gtg's Community Voodoo and Infusion OC/UV - over the past few weeks, most of the kernel devs have been cross-applying each other's patches.
GTG's kernel - Minimal changes, gtg has been focusing on ROMs/Gingerbread, handing off kernel work to others
Defuse kernel - This is one of the most mature kernels out there, LinuxBozo is a kickass kernel dev. It was the first one to have reasonably working BLN.
Infusion - Infusion carries about half of the enhancements present in Defuse in its current release and adds overclocking/undervolting. The next Infusion release (which is a bit overdue - bedwa had a crazy week) will contain everything present in Defuse except possibly for BLN, plus it has overclocking/undervolting.
None of the kernels really do anything to touch power management except for the Infusion undervolting code, so you shouldn't see any significant differences in battery life unless you run Infusion and undervolt.

Alright decided to go with Defuse. Thanks! <3

really ticked, need advice..

okay soo i started off loving my tbolt. i ran bamf ginger remix for months without issues. i then changed to aosp and while i prefer it, many bugs and bad battery life are keeping me away.
so i went back to bamf and while i feel at home, i get alot of lag no matter what kernel i use. i need some advice on what to do and what rom is the fastest/lag free with the best kernel combo.
im dying here guys.
as far as setcpu settings i usually use ondemand or interactive no higher than 1228/245.

As far as I can tell, the Ziggy kernel in the latest Gingeritis3D is the smoothest. Might be something newer in the synergy ROM, but I'm getting good battery life and things are nearly lag-free.

I am running OMFGB right now, and while I do prefer AOSP roms, the battery life isn't great. I have an extended battery so the battery life for me isn't an issue.
I agree with the previous post in regards to Gingeritis 3D. I had version VII installed, deleted almost all sense out with Tibu and used ADW EX. It was nice having some sense, lockscreen, pulldown, but that was all I really liked about sense. I oc'd to 1.4 and thought it ran great with excellent battery life.

I haven't messed with uberBAMF yet. I understand it's a work in progess. I'm not sure what kernel it uses, but it might be worth giving a go. I'd love to think it's NOT a Ziggy or Imoseyon kernel just because I think Sense kernels NEED a LOT more attention.

im going to stick to bamf ginger remix until the theory 1.3x rom goes final. the newest ziggy kernel in synergy isn't very good imo, very laggy. i just extracted the gingeritis one and it's a kernel build from july, it's one of the better ziggy kernels. you know, the one from my thread that was removed. ill stick to it for the time being.
i just wish there were more stable aosp roms. no offense to cm7 or the devs, it's just not 100% yet and the battery life is ****, at least for me.

The Ziggy's in Gingeritis3D is different than the Ziggy's in the older Gingeritis. The clock settings and smartass parameters are different. I think part of the reason that Ziggy kernel is as lagy as it is sometimes is because of his smartass governor parameters. I think if they were tweaked to be a little less stingy the phone might be much snappier. As it is, that kernel seems VERY reluctant to creep past 1 GHz, like the load requirement for stepping up is fairly high. I think it's ramp down is just a little too aggressive, and the period of load polling too long as well.

I'm not sure it is. I know that one didn't go up to 2GHz. It's definitely a similar build. The up_threshold on the smartass on that one you extracted seemed even more aggressive than this one. I had issues typing with it if I set the min_freq too low. I run this one at 122MHz without a problem.
Edit: Actually, I'm sure it's not. The one you extracted didn't have the camera fix for the new base Chingy used for beta 6 and 7.

Wouldn't be surprised knowing how he works.

I would recommend trying the uber bamf preview 3. I tested out preview 1 and it was by far the smoothest feeling ROM I've used and it also gave me the greatest battery life I've ever had on my Thunderbolt. They've fixed a few bugs since preview 1 so I'm sure it's even better now. It includes a stock kernel by the way.
You may also want to try the latest nightly Synergy ROM, it's what I'm on now. Performance has been pretty good and battery is okay. I have SetCPU at 1344/245 with lagfree.

not a huge fan of synergy, i may give uber a whirl.

Go back to the stock released ROM (rooted, if you prefer to make things easier). That should be the baseline for everything.

Something is happening here, but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?

Kernels

Okay, I have been reading for quite some time about the different kernels and can't decide what to do. I am stock, rooted, and unlocked. I have been playing with Set CPU and can't tell much of a difference regardless of what settings I use. I have alot of screen time on my phone and am more interested in battery savings as opposed to over clocking. I feel this phone is plenty fast under clocked but not saving any battery that I can tell.
I don't want to use a kernel that had the potential to be great later, I want 1 that is good out of the box. I have downloaded clean kernel and trinity but can't find the stock kernel if those don't work out so well. I also read that to use trinity successfully, you need to download an app.
What is everyone's thoughts? Not trying to start anything, just looking for some comparative feedback without cluttering the kernel threads.

You don't really need the trinity toolbox to tweak trinity kernel. System tuner works well with all TW kernels I've used.
Overall, all of them are great. May just be a matter of preference. Play and see what you prefer.
That said, my personal preference is for Imoseyon's lean kernel, either v.05 or the newer v.07. Very stable. Have to go to www.rootzwiki.com to get it.
It plays well with synergy, cleanrom, and builtin with beans Rom.

No prob.
V0.6 was not battery friendly so I can't recommend that.
Can tweak voltages with v.07. Pretty fun, but did not improve battery life for me. Fun to play with though...
My favorite to date is 0.5. Rock stable and smooth as heck.
