What's the best ROM and kernel combination?

I have the nexus s 4G. I'm most worried about speed and battery life!

I think i'll be getting the TUV Trinity kernel... now which rom?

GPA17 with the included kernel. Pete's stuff is always amazing and this is no exception.

heavy games from gameloft where used as test base

All ROMS and Kernel work differently on every phone ... some people have problems running Trinity and some people have problems running Ma1trix(I hope i spelt it correctly) anyways i don't mean to offend any of the devs but it depends on phone to phone
My Nexus runs smoothly with Nscollab .41 with TrinityEUV kernel (0.88 GHz) =]
Also Bugless Pete's GPA17 with the stock kernel which is btw Pete's own =]
and finally MIUI with TrinityUV android flavored kernel (1.0 Ghz) =]
to find out which one works best on your device you have to install and check them yourself
Hope i helped

There are no "problems" with Matr1x.
You just need to tweak the voltages and find something that works for you....

As a fresh NS user, I wanted something similar to stock + added notification bar toggle + kernel with BLN & Voodoo sound. Found this combo with TSM Pool party 1.3 ROM, which is based on Pete's work and his kernel. Works excellent:]

CM7 RC1 + T144 or TEUV if I feel like saving battery

Very true, I initially thought my phone doesnt work with matrix, Then i figured how to undervolt my phone and change profiles in set CPU, Now phone works great with matrix.
Really like TEUV though, but found it lagging a bit in high graphics games,.

Yeah Haha, have you tried version 7.5?

idk, it feels sluggish sometimes, even when i find good settings, when i update it kinda goes back to being sluggish. sluggish is good tho. better than stock

What do you mean? What governor r u using? Try changing governors

Eaglesblood + Faux = awesome!

I've had my phone for about 6 weeks now, using a CM7 -based rom (won't name names). The battery life was horrible, the phone was always warm to the touch, and it locked-up often. The SOD happened probably every other charge. I was intending to dump the phone for something else, but after reading many recommendations, I loaded the latest release of Eaglesblood and Faux kernel.
What a difference! My phone is always cool to the touch now. It hasn't locked-up, and no SOD (knock on wood). I'm coming up on a week now with zero problems. If I don't use the phone much, I can get 2 days or more on a charge (unthinkable before). Just wanted to pass along what working for me.

which eb
There is an ICS and an older version which one are you referring to?

Hahaha this thread alone may piss some people off.. EB isnt made for faux n e more...

EB isn't made for Faux? Lolwut?
Faux's kernels can be used for most roms, unless Faux123 said no to EB?

i think what he meant is eb is not optimized for tirinity kernel. (to be honest i am not sure which one specifically, i personally never used the ics eb, and i think the gb eb is still using faux by default?)

Trinity kernel is so old though... and yes, EB does use Faux by default. Or maybe I flash Faux on every rom so it seems like it is... hmmm... Either way, Faux's kernels are amazing.

[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.

dont do this unless you know what your doing. it works on any CM7 based rom, but its very unstable and really only used for testing and benchmarking.

Faux 49 kernel. Amazing battery life.

Kernels

Is there a kernel that will play good with Hellfire Sandwich 1.7 (dirty) and that can be overclocked?

I'm running the latest harsh OC kernel with no problems.. And there's a new faux kernel 050 b1 that's out, I haven't tried it yet tho so can't say how it is..

Nobody can tell you which Kernel will work best for whatever ROM you wish to use it for because even though we have the 'same' phone, they are not all equally built. What may work with amazing battery life and performance to one person, might be terribly sluggish with terrible battery life for the next person. The only real way to tell which ROM+Kernel combo works best for your phone is to try every Kernel you think your phone 'likes'. Whether we all want to admit it or not, that is probably the best way.
Hope this helped, Good luck!

Are there any kernels that work with CM7.2 RC1 that both allow for OC/(UV) and don't completely break the accellerometer?
I have tried Trinity and Faux. I would really like to get back to ridiculous battery life from this extended battery pack.

Is it that difficult to make a new thread? I'm using faux right now and my accelerometer is fine.

Trinity Kernels
I recently installed the Trinity Kernel and I don't really feel like I see a difference in my phone. I feel like my battery has shown no improvement. I installed the ti5 one but maybe I'll try the ELP one instead to see if I get anything different. I'm really looking for longer battery life. I used the phone theses days for about 30min of music a day (subway ride) and browsing here and there. Turned all syncing and app notifications off.
Check out the attached photos. I've seen screenshots of people with bar graphs showing their device at the top way ahead of everyone else.

Phone seems hotter than usual

Hey guys,
I just flashed cm7 and faux kernel 52 with no overclock on my g2x that was previously running stock v21y gingerbread. The phone seems hotter than before, not sure if this is normal or I'm just imagining it...
Anyone have any similar. Experiences?

Try trinity kernel, the elp one. Some phones don't like faux kernel, others hate trinity. You need to try them all.

Very very true. I loved Trinity when I could get it right but my rig prefers faux kernels
Sent via G2x on CM7 b135.1 w/faux 52 kernel

is there a scientific way for me to decide which kernel is better? or is it just a matter of how it seems to me?
Also, I have an extended battery, so battery life isn't thaaaat much of an issue for me... All i want is reliability and stability.

Not really. What you do is get your phone setup how you want and than test the kernel, than test the other in same setup and see which one functions best for your needs..

Sweet, thanks for all the help guys! I just flashed trinity ELP, I'll see how that goes for a few days and if it seems buggy i'll flash back faux/

I have heard others say heat issues with faux newest kernel so you could also flash an older release of his kernel. I used 48 than 50 for very long times with no issues.

Good to know! I've been running trinity kernel for about a day now and it's definitely a lot cooler... My phone was getting really toasty with faux, but now it's completely cool to the touch.

Mine seems to do best with stock kernels -_-
Or maybe I haven't given all of them a try yet

Just install CPU spy and see at what time it stays at 1Ghz! So you should change CPU governor!
