Which rom provides the most performance?

I'm currently running ec10 PnP with the green steel theme. I noticed my quadrant score stayed about the same as it was on stock. Is there a rom that provides better performance without a huge loss in functionality?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

I didn't really see any difference in performance between ROM's myself. It wasn't untill I went to the Voodoo Kernels that I saw my Lindpack scores and quadrant scores increase. Im running the PnP with nemisses OTB kernel. Im getting about 16 on lindpack and between 1400 and 1500 on quad.
Also quad scores and not completely reliable so I rely mostly on lindpack for benchmarks.
Anywho, thats my 2 cents. Hope this helps

I've seen a huge difference between ROMs. You crazy homey g.

LOL, I guess I should have added that I haven't tried the AOSP or the MIUI. My main thing was I saw the most difference when I went from the Stock kernel to the Voodoo Kernels. But thats just me. I guess its differenct for everybody depending on what there trying to get out of your phone. For me it has been battery life without sacrificing performance.
And yeah, I am a little nuts, but thats just me, LOL

Thanks for the input. I will search around and see what I can dig up. About to flash superfrakenclean to see what it does

Any of the AOSP (miui, cm6) stuff will be "faster" than the touchwiz(sfc, pnp) stuff. It just comes down to your personal preferences but there is a definite speed difference between roms just as there is between voodoo and non voodoo. Using an overclocked kernel will also speed you up. Try em out see what you like. the real performance lies in how you use it and that it works for you

I am also wondering the same as the OP. Currently I am running sFc 2.9.2 with the OTB kernel and undervolting. I am looking for better battery performance with stock speeds.

You guys that are running sfc and otb kernel, did you have any issues with missed calls? I was having difficulty so flashed back to sfc with a tw kernel...no issues so far but battery life and performance are not as good.

I haven't had the sfc on my phone but have been running OTB for a while and haven't had any issues with missing calls. Also have OTB on my wifes phone as well and she hadn't had any issues either.

What rom/kernal do you use and why?

Just started flashing roms onto my nexus s, wondering what others people are using. Specify if it's nexus s or nexus s 4g!(Links if you want to be fancy)

Nexus S running the latest version of NSCollab (in conjunction with Netarchy Kernel)....why? Cause its Vanilla Android, Fast and the most stable ROM I've used. And I've used quite a few of them.

NS4G and i swap between Stock Deodexed, Deck, and MIUI with nandroid backups (i easily get bored).
Always use Net's kernel, mostly CFS stable (best battery IMO), if streaming alot i go BFS for a day.

What: Manually compiled AOSP with a lil' bit modded kernel (voodoo color, ext4 mount option, read ahead buffer, etc.)
Why: Because that's the reason I bought Nexus S -- to be able to play around anyway I like

Well it's more of why do you feel that the rom is better then an other ie:battery, looks, speed

Cyanogenmod and Netarchy BFS kernals. Amazing battery life. Voodoo colors is great. My phone runs like a dream. I've tried a lot of other roms but they just don't cut it for me.
I also use that mod from these forums that replaces ADW in CM7 with the stock Gingerbread launcher. Its like a dream come true.

I'm using CM7 Nightly Builds with Netarchy 1.3.4 CFS. Because its stable, fast and awesome. CM7 Is a no brainer. Why use anything else? I've tried many kernels and Netarchy is the best so far. I don't bother overclocking.. tried it and I don't see enough of a gain to deal with instability or possible instability.

NSCollab is built on CM7 rather than vanilla android.
I used NSCollab before as well. Currently running ZuluGen as my daily driver though. Switched over cause I liked the theming of Zulugen more. They both running CM7 with some minor tweaks here and there though, so basically performance wise I haven't really noticed much difference between the two.
As for kernels have stuck with netarchy for the most part, has been amazingly stable and fast for me, and seems to be one of the only kernels with voodoo drivers kept updated frequently.

I use htc clay personal its a remix of nightly 104 from cm7 but with nets 1.3.4 bfs quad scores of 3500 oc to 1.3 with 31hrs on a single charge.

Same. I come from a Hero, a device I rooted to make it look and behave as much as possible like a Nexus S. Now that I have one, I'm in heaven. It's rooted, but I have only ever rooted my old phones to mock the stock Android experience.
It's fast enough for me and I have no reason to flash anything when it's already capable of doing everything an Android can do.

CM7 nightly.
Hmm... 3500 quadrant score without OC?

This just made selecting a kernel to use a lot harder. LorDmod or Tiamat? Decisions, decisions.

I get better battery life out of the LorDmod UE kernel but the Tiamat kernel is much more responsive so that leads me to believe it's related to the CPU governor. I'm using the PUV script/PUV voltages with both and while LorDmod's kernel gets better battery life, I'm still over 60% with Tiamat at the end of the day.
I'm still torn between the two and think I'll use Tiamat for a few more days to get a better feel for it; it's definitely left a good first impression.

Glad to see you developing for the inspire. Have been using your latest kernel with cm7 on my evo. Now trying this one out on the girlfriends inspire. And also is it possible to get SBC support with this kernel in the future?

SBC and the concept behind in is particular to the way the evo/inc battery driver works. Other devices use a different driver so it does not port. Really, you're better off for having a driver that doesn't 'need' it.

Lord Clockan incorporated SBC support in to his UE kernel for a while and basically found that it doesn't work on the Desire HD/Inspire. He's using a different "overcharge" feature now but I'll be damned if I can remember the name off the top of my head.

With MIUI and perfect match!!!
I installed in my inspire with 1.7.22 and the battery drain stop, i did remove setcpu too. Happy and pleased!!! Keep the good work!!!

Using Tiamat 1.0.3 with CM7 nightly #134, runs like butter at 1113mhz, battery life is better as well. Great work!

My Inspire would freeze on anything over 1305mhz, I found 1113mhz to be the most smooth and stable for me. Very well could be an issue with your ROM, the OP or one of the devs on the MIUI site may have a more insight.

Anyone running this with GingerBeast?

I am running 1.04 with Gingerbeast 2.12. I am using SetCpu profiles, the UUV script to undervolt, and it runs perfectly. I have been running this setup for a few days now with no hiccups and very good battery life.

Well time for an update. I found out that the camera does not work with gingerbeast. I tried to reflash to make sure it was the kern and it was.

Figured I'd chime in after testing with 1.04 for a while. Battery life is pretty much the same for me with Tiamat and LordMoDUE, just about everything else is very close as well. I give the clear edge in overall snappiness to Tiamat, with even better performance after screen unlock - pretty much no noticeable delay with smartass governor. I'll definitely recommend this kernel to anyone reading.

Ultimate setup. Post what your setup is on your captivate

Hey guys I just wanted to start a thread where people can post their setup including rom kernel modem or anything else that seems fit. This does not mean that any are the best but it may give other people cool ideas on how to make theirs better.
Here's mine and its nothing special.
I have cm7 with a kernal that allows me to overclock it to 1.7 (its a beta and is version 12 or something) then I use voltage control to overclock to 1.2 and undervolt. I also just use the stock modem. Some cool apps I use are widgetlocker which allows Widgets on your lock screen and circle launcher.
I am definatly not an expert so sorry for any mistakes.

I'm running latest Miui with stock kernel and modem. Overclocked to 1.2Ghz with voltage control. Work has been crazy lately and I've been too lazy to experiment with different modems and kernels

Im on Cog 5. No overclocking, no nothing. Just stock Cog 5.
I am using the gingerbread launcher, though, instead of touchwiz. I prefer its simplicity.
This is the best my phone has ever worked.

[Q] recommended kernel ?

HI guys
Im currently using MIUI US Rom ver 2.4.6 with stock kernel. can anyone recommend me a fast and stable kernel compatible with this rom?
Will these do the trick?

I've heard only good things about Trinity, but I stopped using MIUI a long time ago, it's pretty outdated at this point.

I personally use the Trinity kernel when running MIUI but some prefer Faux123's kernel. It tends to be you choose which ever one is the most stable for your phone as not all are created equal. The other thing to note is that if you flash the kernel straight from morfic it will cause you to loose the ability to set themes and keep them after a reboot.
I have the modified Trinity Kernels that you can get to try and they both are flashable from CWM and have the theme fixes.
They are both found here >>Trinity Kernel<<
If you want to know the difference between them go to morfics thread and the explanations are there.

thanks for the elaborated explanation and the Trinity builds. but what stability lose am i to experience? i flashed 4 hours ago ELP build and i have no problems with the themes.

You aren't necessarily going to experience stability issues. It is just a possibility you could. If you aren't then you will be fine.
I do suggest that you get setcpu so you can set the clock speed to the 1.1ghz that the kernel wants to default to but the os pushes it down to 1.0. But it is not a nessecity.

The Destroyer
I would use The Destroyer16. I've seen many MIUI G2x's run stable and decent battery life (with a little UV) with this kernel. Plus 1.6ghz max will rip benchmark scores like crazy. Only good for gb 2.3.7 MIUI IMO. You can find it in the huge Trinity thread under g2x development.
