So many Roms/KERNELs - Thunderbolt General

Why are you guys putting out so many roms and kernels, I can hardly get any "real" work done on my phone because I'm too busy testing out every new version of every new rom/kernel that comes out. Come on! I need some sleep to.

Well frankly I prefer a buffet where I can choose what I want rather than being told what to eat.

In Soviet Russia, ROM chooses YOU!

The myriad of ROMs and kernels have turned me into somewhat of a flash addict.. if I'm not flashing something at least a couple times a day my skin starts itching and I begin to twitch.

Well since you guys are soo experienced with different kernals let me ask you this question..
I just got my thunderbolt and I wanna root my phone and overclock it safely to 1.6g. So, which kernel would you recommend? BTW I AM A BIT OF A NOOB!! so please try and keep the terms as "noob friendly" as possibly haha. Thanks guys!

leanKernel supports 1.92 and BAMF will do up to 1.4, I believe.

Do you want sense? Run Perfect Storm roms with bamf kernel.
Do you want aosp? Run cyanogen with imoseyon aosp kernel.
Do you want sense removed? Run blackhole with bamf kernel.
OC to 1.92 I don't suggest, my phone locks up at that speed. OC to 1.4 stable.

I'm stock, rooted, running bang 4.4.5 kernel, and get 24+hrs from my extended battery (a must-have) might be weird, but I like Sense...

OK, so here's a (useful?) question/request to all you ROM addicts (I am not one, unfortunately!):
Is there (it would be nice if there was) a comparison of ALL kernels and ROMs to see which gets the best battery life on their Thunderbolt?
This would, obviously, have to be done by one person trying out different combinations of kernels and ROMs, as everyone has different usage patterns (and different batteries!! --each battery, it seems, behaves differently).
But I think it would be very helpful for many of us folks to have a good, consistent, complete, at least somewhat accurate comparison, as the battery issue seems to be probably the single largest issue affecting the most people with the TB.
Anyone?

Why do you need to overlook to 1.6? For being a noob, that's rather aggressive

noob question - what does s-off mean?
also, what advantages are there to removing sense?

Just a holdover until CM7 is fully working.

S-off means security is turned off on your phone. This will allow you to install whatever ROM you want to the phone.

ooohhhh

This i can't wait for!
I might root and then hang by until the CM arrives. Only had my Bolt about 10 days now, and want to see it in action untouched, (but also minus these bad network connections), if CM7 is indeed close i'm going to wait for it.

CM is here. They have some WIFI and 4g problems but other than that the ROM is complete.

[Q] g2x wont run any oc/uv kernels

I have flashed all of the eagles blood Tom's even some other Tom's and they work with the exception. Of the new 1.05 eaglesblood that has Caucasian kernel cooked in. I tried flashing fauxs kernels separately and the only one that works is the stock voltage kernels eveeytime I try to do something that undervolts it wont take when I flash it. Is there any way to fix this or fwt it to work or does my g2x suck? Thanks for any help!

umm just turn in your g2x to someone that is qualified to use it.
What is a Caucasian kernel?
That ladies and gentlemen, is signature worthy.
Edit: Forgot to even answer your question amidst all this racial kernel profiling. Your G2x can't handle the OC/UV kernel, nothing you can do about it.

It's not that he's not qualified. A known issue is that some of the phone's can't support some of the features of other kernels so the phones won't boot. I started a thread about this and Faux chimed in affirming what I thought. It's a fault in the chip. Some can OC/UV, some can't.
Thanks hiko I thought I read something about that but what I don't get now is I flashed the Trinity kernel nd it sees the UV 1.1 in set CPU lol . Ill have to do more testing. As for the Caucasian kernel I blame racist correct lol

Yup. I have this problem. My broken G2x can run custom kernels on Stock. But my replacement G2x can't even get past the boot screen after flashing one. I can't run EB Froyo, and I can't flash faux's kernel unless it's on a Gingerbread ROM. It's pretty lame.

yeah i wonder if getting another one would be any better though. im sure if i complain enough i could get a bvetter one, although the screen bleed on mine is actually pretty low compared to what ive seen so i might just hang on to it not sure

Dear OP. Wish I could help you. I do want to thank you for the laugh. Nothing personal. The typos made me spit out my coffee. It's been a long morning already, so I appreciate humor where I can find it.
As a couple have already said, not all phones are created equal. One of my phones would not OC and UV at the same time. I was able to hit 1300 stable on mine, but my wife, which has an identical setup, had issues at 1100. Faux released an overclock kernel without the undervolting. Have you tried that?

I have not as the overclocking was not as big of an issue as undervolting was for me. I cant get a single of fauxs kernels to run etx/GB/FR thats does oc/uv but the stock one does it just fine thats goes 1.0sv/1.2oc. the whole reason why i am confused though is i flashed morfics trinity kernel thats oc/uv at the same rate 1.1uv/1.5oc and it loads perfectly fine on my phone. Setcpu sees the standard at 1.1ghz max on autodetect, howeer i have not tried overclocking to anything more than that as i do not have any experience with making the textfile for setcpu to overclock it manually. im going to work on this soon but im hoping someones already made and posted this elsewhere on xda =D
PS: im on a computer this time and ill say this is better than my blackberry who decided to autocorrect "heterosexual" in place of "hey" everytime i tried talking to one of my friends but glad its good for laughs lol
I've consistently gotten Morfic to work as well. Faux said that Morfic hasn't released his source so he can't compare notes and see what's causing the issue.

i hope he does soon as i would love to try fauxs kernel as i hear more about it than morfics. morfics for now works fanfriggintastic for me though. m g2x ocs to 1400 without any problems at all on morfics however has some stability issues randomly at 1500 and i undervolt it always under 1.1 by 75 and runs perfect. battery life is currently at 60% still after 30hrs of use even after phone calls texts and internet usage. no games or heavy downloads yet though. <3uv and juicedefender

[Q] Information overload, What kernal/Rom combo best fits my needs?

Howdy, So I just got my first smart phone a few weeks ago, the AT&T Skyrocket. Kinda odd since I have been in IT works for many years that it took so long but could never afford the upgrade, my cars sap every spare penny lol.
After getting the phone I spent a few days getting to know it and then rooted it so I could use Titanium backup.
Now long story short due to an unrelated issue with ATT they sent me another phone to fix an issue I told them was on their end (and sure enough, it is, I think I figured it out though, anyone else get charged for a text message when the ATT family map "pings" the device?).
So for the time being I have 2 skyrocket phones and figured this was as good a time as any to try out another rom/kernal on the 2nd phone in case I don't like it my phone will remain untouched (I am picky about how my computers are setup).
So that is the history lesson, I have read sooo much the last few weeks it has gave me a good handle on the general process ect. My issue is picking out an actual rom/kernal to use, I have read so much they are all just one big garble of random info and I could use some advice to pick out what would work for me.
Here is what I want out of a rom/Kernal:
Clock speeds/voltages unlocked, I am an oldschool overclocker so naturally I feel everything can be made better.
Better battery life, Right now the battery life is ok but a bit too close for my tastes and I also feel it is just draining too fast for what I am doing (about ~8-10%/Hour average).
Some improvements like the light meter being linear vs having big steps would also be nice, I know the sensor itself can do it from the the screens but the software just goes in steps I guess.
Stable! I want something rock solid stable that I can count on for a long time to come.
Thats about it, The stock rom works fine for my needs minus those complaints. The clock/voltages being the biggest complaint if I had to go with only a kernal to keep a stable ROM.
So what suggestions do ya'll have? Is there by any chance a modded stock rom that is just debloated ect but will still be stable, that would work nice if it helped battery life some combined with a kernal I think.
I don't mind trying a few combos of roms/kernals but only have a week or 2 before I have to send this phone back and would need to fully test each one so I figure I only have time to do that on a handful in that time frame (I am very through)
Rom I have no clue what would work best for me. Kernal the Faux looks pretty good for my goals but I am not sure.
Any advice would be great.
From personal experience, anything made by forum member mhx is incredible. His ROMs are always super stable and and stripped of bloat. It also has the best battery out of all the ROMs I've tried.
Mhx's Gingerbread ROM
Mhx's ICS ROM
This is the kernel that I use Faux's Kernel

Thanks, Those roms look nice for sure!
That brings up another question I have. I keep reading all this stuff about ICS but have not been able to figure out why it is such a big deal. Looks like just a different theme to me or is it more then that?
Is it more like going from windows 95 to 98? Or like 98 to Windows 7?
Is it worth going with ICS over the gingerbread?
Lastly I notice that they say they come with kernels, Does that mean I have to use those kernels? I assume this is not the case since you are using a different kernel but better safe then sorry.
Thanks for the help!

If you are wanting a rock solid stable phone I would avoid the ICS madness for now, it's not quite perfected yet. You don't have to use the kernel they come with.

Thanks, I was kinda thinking that. For future reference, what does ICS offer that Gingerbread doesn't?
So I take it that this means there are stable gingerbread roms that should at least come close to stock for reliability/functionality long term? Any opinion on the above mentioned rom/Kernal combo?

Last I heard OCing of ICS is not possible yet, so since you mentioned that, ICS is out for a good while.

agreed, all those x listed have proven to be extrememly stable. For best battery life with OC'ing and undervolting support use any of those roms with faux's 010m kernel. I was getting 1% battery almost every two hours with that, fauxclock app undervolt -100mV, and tpc v3, before i switched to ics

I just flashed the 010m kernel on the stock rom to play with that first and ran into something I am not sure about.
I tried both system tuner and fauxclock, at first everything was working as it should then I noticed that the 2nd core said "offline" and it won't seem to come on no matter what even while running stress tests. Any ideas?

It's more than that. It's a lot smoother and faster, better performance in everything, hardware accelerated UI, better multitasking.
It's the biggest update the OS has ever gotten, period. Yeah, it's still Android at the end of the day, but it's a pretty big refinement.

Yeah, I am starting to see that.
Back to the issue of the 2nd core going offline, After some playing around the only way I could seem to get it to come back online was to install SetCPU along with fauxclock. This seems to make the 2nd core come online but I am worried that running both apps will cause issues with them fighting over who has control?
I much prefer setCPU for the clock speed controls due to the profiles I can create but no voltage control. Is it possible to use the faux for voltage and the setCPU for clock speed control? Or am I asking for problems?

Definately asking for problems. Only use ONE cpu controlling app. SetCPU does have better profiles but fauxclock has a few. Which rom were u using it with? It does disable the 2nd core by default to save battery, but enabled it as soon as it is required (i.e. games and/or benchmark.) TO check run a force close setcpu and run a benchmark, then home back to menu and run setcpu, it will show 2nd core as active.

I tried that, the 2nd core stays offline no matter what I do unless I run setcpu.
I would just run setCPU but then I would not be able to undervolt. I wounder if I could use one of these scripts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20946429&postcount=574
That would take care of the undervolt and then use setcpu to handle the clock speeds? That would seem to be the best of both worlds.
not recommended. Use system tuner instead. It has almost as much profile control as setcpu, but the voltage control of fauxclock. It also has an option to force both cores online.

I tried it but didn't care for it. Still didn't have the profiling options I want. I like the setcpu since I can set it to have different CPU speeds at different times/situations. Maybe that is not worth the power savings. Whats wrong with setcpu?
I also had the same problem with system tuner as well, it would not bring the 2nd core online.

Battery/Kernel Dilema Advice/assitance

Well the thing is I don't know wich kernel to pair up with Hellfire Phoenix 2.1 so far it's what I have liked the most.
The stock kernel gives funky battery readings, I tried trinity ELP kernel but my phone doesn't last much as I'd like it to maybe I'm asking for too much from my g2x.
So what I would like to know is what kernel should I try for the best battery lifespan I am normally using 4g with pandora but while giving it this use and texting from time to time /checking facebook it doesn't last me through half a day I start using the phone from around 6-6:30 Am and by 1 pm my phone is at 20%. I give it breaks of around 1-3 hours in wich I disable data/ I also keep sync and wifi disabled.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and +Thanks will be given to those that are helpful
PS.I have yet to try Eaglesblood 2.3.7 is it worth compared to hellfire ?
Using data on the phone like Pandora and Facebook for one hour will drop my battery about 15-20% on 4g so, 5 hours worth is about normal in my opinion if you plan on doing that all the time I suggest extra batteries or extended. You're simply asking too much IMO!

Thought so "( Either way With what Kernel could I get the best out of hellfire phoenix 2.1? Also I'm confused on some things like with the trinity ELP kernel it says it's 1.1ghz/UC does that mean it is undervolted while being overclocked by 100mhz (just making sure) also in CM settings I have the option of setting the cpu speed.. now if I set it lets sayy 750mhz is it also undervolting it?
I'm sure I don't need 1ghz for the use I give it most of the time I could just change it back when I
m in the mood for gaming or does this scale depending on the task?
Sorry for so many questions I'm still new to this and I want to be sure of everything

I'd say either the kernel you have now or Faux UV version... look up the thread that shows "how to undervolt" (or something close) and go that route if you truly want to get the best battery life (I don't undervolt as I get the battery I need for my daily activities.)

So Faux123 Kernels are the ones people use the most for what I've seen.
I'm not sure wich faux kernel I have It says 2.6.32.56 CM7 Faux123-049, I checked the thread and latest is 0.48 soo I'm a bit lost there
I've also seen some people say they prefer the trinity kernel because it was released later.
I've tried both the stock Faux that comes with hellfire and the trinity I do not see any difference whatsoever in battery life or stability ( trinity does score significantly higher on benchmarks)
I could careless about benchmarks haven't ran one since I got this phone and oc'ed it to 1.5 to see what would happen... other wise they are just options some of our phones can't handle certain kernels... play with them and see which you like more. My only advice is faux cm version lol ds causes the funky readings.

faux 049b5 is for ICS roms, 048 is for GB roms. Don't mix them up or rom won't boot.
Doing anything on 4g will drain your battery much faster. If you can switch to 2g/3g networks while not using data, it can save a lot of battery power. Try Juicedefender ultimate also. It helps in toggling/switching options for you.
Every phone is different plus everyonez preferences/usage are unique. Best bet is to try both for a week or so and then decide for yourself.

If your running the stock kernel on hfp you have 049b1ds
Pin it to Win it.

Anyways I flashed the 1.1ghz/UV Faux it's working with no problems so far I'll stick with this unless it gives me any kind of problem. I will look forward on getting me one of those 3500mah batteries Price/performance they seem worth it though the phone would be fat haha but w.e I like using my data without worrying of low battery through the day.
This is unrelated but just throwing it out there. The Camera ICS+ works great I see an improvement in picture quality compared to the stock and the interface is lovely
Have you not been reading anything on any of these forum's?
I know your new to this ( as you stated) but you keep asking questions that can easily be answered by just searching and reading the forums,
i keep trying to help you by (doing the searching for you) but you just keep asking the same questions over and over,
you have like at least three different forums were you keep asking about kernal's ( and in several of them i have giving you links that should answer just about every thing you need to know about kernals) if you would actually just read them.
Im not trying to flame you... its just that you keep making new threads asking pretty much the same stuff, we can tell if someone is taking the easy way out and just saying that "they searched and didn't find any thing"
the people on here that would actually help you out, know better.
because they read the forums just about every day so we know how many forums that are out their, on subjects such as kernals, like the 3 threads you started asking about them.
so again read and most of your questions will be answerd...

He's right only reason I answered and didn't reply in this manner, was cause you typed out so much and I felt bad for you lol... If you answer I don't have time to read and such, then you shouldn't even have time to root the device. Laziness is pretty frowned upon on XDA. The more you read the more you would find out that everyone has different experiences with kernels. Try them out and figure it out on your own... if you have thread already about a kernel or a specific rom to choose stick to that thread and don't make a new one, as it just causes clutter for people that do use the search function, as when they search for something like "which kernel" they get

Faux has 049 for CM7 according to above link, which is baked into HFP 2.1.

Well the thing is I don't know wich kernel to pair up with Hellfire Phoenix 2.1 so far it's what I have liked the most.
The stock kernel gives funky battery readings, I tried trinity ELP kernel but my phone doesn't last much as I'd like it to maybe I'm asking for too much from my g2x.
So what I would like to know is what kernel should I try for the best battery lifespan I am normally using 4g with pandora but while giving it this use and texting from time to time /checking facebook it doesn't last me through half a day I start using the phone from around 6-6:30 Am and by 1 pm my phone is at 20%. I give it breaks of around 1-3 hours in wich I disable data/ I also keep sync and wifi disabled.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and +Thanks will be given to those that are helpful
PS.I have yet to try Eaglesblood 2.3.7 is it worth compared to hellfire ?

ELP voltages are probably too low for you, thus actually causing higher drain. Try the T15 and under volt until you find your sweet spot

Harsh kernel is the best kernel?

ok i have been using harsh kernel with aokp rom for about a week and i have had the greatest battery improvement. I literally get about with music playing throughout the day, constant texting, some calls, and some games; I get about a day and a half of battery and sometimes more. Idk if its just me but I was wondering is anybody else getting better results or the same results is there something better then what I got? Does the hellfire 1.6 have better battery or better performance then the aokp?
No one ROM or kernel is the best. They are all different and good in their own ways. If you're curious about if another ROM is better for you, the best way to find out is by flashing it. If your asking me, the best kernel for me is a custom built from source version of harsh without the overclocking and with done of nordics scripts and optimizations built in. I also love aokp build 29.
Now the next 20 posts can be 20 different roms and kernels just like every single other thread just like this one.

Hey sorry to bother u but its bugging me. When u say Nordic did u meant morfic (not being sarcastic ) and if so how do u get his scripts us harshs kernel. Do you flash his kernel then harshes after without wiping?

lol yeah morfic's (autocorrect is going to destroy this country) i build most of what i use from their sources, and i frequently mix and match things. its just something i do for myself. while i could release it out for people, not many would want to use what i have. i add alot of broken and ugly things to system apps. i even remove entire parts of the framework sometimes because i dont use them.
if you just want the best of both worlds (speaking of harsh and morfic's kernels) you can just flash morfic's then flash harsh's and you will get some of morfic's IO settings to stay behind.
im double posting on purpose, harsh has stated that people should not be flashing his kernel over morfic's
so im gonna retract my last post. if you want improvements, your gonna have to wait till he implements them.

Sorry to hijack the thread but you should think of releasing to the public, most developers develop for themselves anyways so yours would not be any different. All your posts that ive seen are always really helpful, i hate this 8 thanks a day limit.

honestly im thinking about it. i want to get a good server tower that i can keep running and have it do a build bot (right now my Compiler is running off of an external hard drive hooked up to an old laptop)
once i get the server up and running i might give it a shot.
I have no clue what that is but I support you all the way

battery life
That sounds pretty good, batter-life wise.
I get through the day with moderate use... but when I am using it a lot, I am in the red by dinner time on HFS 1.6 with Faux kernel.
However, when i ran the Harsh kernel in HFS 1.5.. I had some real connectivity problems... I almost went back to 1.4, but then 1.6 came out and ruled.
If you are getting that good of batt life and no other problems- I would stick with it

[Q] stock rom vs custom rom

good morning,
i'm quite new on this phone even if It works fine for me with a stock rom 4.0.4 I would you like to understand if there is a good advantage to pass on a custom rom.
Please share with me your experience and answer with my few questions:
what kind of custom rom and kermel you have on?
which is the difference there is in term of battery life; performance; stability.
Thanks for your help
Welcome to the Nexus ... you're going to love this phone. With that said, you need to jump in and do some reading. There is no shortage of opinion on which rom, kernel, or even GB vs ICS ... is best. It very much depends on your likes, dislikes, etc. I assume that you have a gsm device, so make sure to flash the appropriate roms, kernels, etc. Lastly, there is lots of help available, but it's always best if you dig in and bring yourself up to speed with what's already been posted in these great forums. Good luck!

thanks mate,
after few weeks i tested it, i find this phone a very good one and I don't feel the need to jump in a custom rom. I rooted it, installed a busybox and the clockwork and I added some apps to eliminate some gaps like the missing notification when the screen is off (I installed the noled apk for it) or like a switch off or switch on of the screen using the power button (I used an apps called accendi scermo and I switch on and off the screen using the phone sensor). The only thing that miss on this phone is an fm radio offline. I'm still searching a solution.
Stock rom: more stable, less features
Custom rom: less stable, more features
Well if you want to be normal. Than good for you.
Now a custom rom and kernel can give you unlimited privilages to things you can never imagine possible. Undervolting your device to give you brain blowing battery life or over clocking to give you awesome graphics.
A custom rom like CM9 or AOKP (there are way more than two but im just listing the popular ones) is of course better than stock since... well if it wasnt why would they make it. A kernel links your hardware to your software, meaning you can do some tweaking in the middle. If you find the right kernel and rom mix you can have a wopping 15 days standby on your battery (eg CM9 and Matr1x Kernel).
Now thats just the basics. if you are interested and want more information. Just do a bit of research and reading in this forum and ask questions in those forums. Hope this helps.
ics 4.0.4 stock+ simple or thalamus kernel
Or Bugless Beast with one of those kernels
