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.
Victory rom2.0 here with go launcher ;-) like butter
Thanks for the feedback guys!

Well, I just got my Captivate (old version), and I'm loving it!!
I've switched ROM's a lot, but now I'm on Dlev 4.2 - Talon kernel.
I'm pretty sure this is overclocked, given the Quadrant scores. Battery life is pretty good - a little more than a day with regular use (games, browsing, talking, texting).
So if I went to miui would I have to reflash my v12 kernel that you other guys have to? I like the way miui looks but I wish it had touchwiz

Just curious about what ROMS and kernels people have liked best so far.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Right now I am devoted to using the Das_BAMF series of ROMs as well as the kernel by Adrynalyne. I find it works very well for what I need.
I like debloated stock personally, using my own kernel.

me too. staying with this until CM7 comes out.
I'll definitely be switching to cyanogenmod when it is complete, much prefer it to anything else.
Das_BAMF, perfect for me so far.
Das BAMF as well with the 1.76ghz kernel. It's a beast.
boLTEd 0.3. Drods 1.8 kernel running like a champ.

Virusrom, testing out several kernals using adrynalyne 2.0 ATM. Liking it. Better battery life than running OC'd all the time. Bolts still quick at 768mhz. Mo Batry!
Tbolt - VirusRom_rc1b2-drod1.8ghz
Das bamf with the newest kernel 1228 on CPU perfect light OC.
Tbolt seems even more snappy, battery seems to be better also with smartass CPU setting.
My first Android my first ROM and kernel and I could not be happier.
Ive been rocking Virus Rom also for like a week. Extremely solid rom with Adrenalines 2.0 kernel.

Running boLTEd .35 and the 1.8 kernel, drod is a solid dev. I was with him on the dx. And will stick with him on the thunderbolt. If you want speed and stability drod and b16 is where it will likely be.

Amen to that.
1.3.2 with the 1.2ghz smartass kernel is a dream.
Perfect storm and drods 1.5 kernel. I got liquid sense on the sdcard but Havnt tried it. I'm probably the only person who likes recent apps in the pulldown lol. Kinda limits my Rom choices.

ok, ya i have tried most of the roms and i really like bamfs rom, i have tried the 1.8 ghz kernel and 1.2 right now. i'm just interchanging the kernels with roms right now to find a good combo of speed and battery, but i'm definitely going to get cm7 when its released

YOU would know best whats stable enough and lag free enough for YOU. im just quite the opposite. 3 weeks or so ago, i flashed the stock/rooted version of 4.0.3 ics. it was stable, fast, everything worked. i thought i was happy with it and stopped my daily flashing. last night i went back to crackflashing, cm9 kangs. the stock rom was apparently too stable for me. and it wasnt just because of withdrawal from crackflashing. i went back to daily crackflashing because it has become a lifestyle
Lmfao hey like your reply I'd the story of my life. Btw how good is the kang one. I personally think that asop is the best but I need better

the kangs/cm9 are getting better and better every day, almost. i left cm9 because the launcher was starting to bug me, it reloaded way too often. cm9 might have had a memory issue then. but, 2 days and 2 kangs later, not a single issue here. everything works just as it should. and its extremely quick and responsive, even with the trinity teuv undervolted/underclocked(880mhz) kernel that im using(but its gpu is overclocked).
So you would say that the kangs is better? If so, I'm gonna keep this cm9 and then flash in maybe two days.

its not that they are better, its that they are compiled on a daily basis. so they are the latest, and include the latest fixes right away.
Well yeah that makes more sense. Looks like I'll be flashing a lot with this cm9. Thank God for titanium backup pro. Thanks for the responses .

I wouldn't say you should COMPLETELY trust the CM9 ROM over all. If I were you I'd run some more tests on which you like the most at the moment and stick to it, until CM9 is finally complete. I'm using an AOSP+ Neapolitan flavor build, it is incredibly smooth I recommend that. I know as soon as CM9 is finished I'm hopping onto that ROM in a heart beat though
Hey thanks. Do you have a link for that build you mentioned

Regardless of your partiality, you are still correct. To back up this statement, I point to the current battery life on my infuse. I am sitting at 11% after 3 days, 50 minutes with a screen on time of 2 hours over those 3 days. One hour of voice calls and HEAVY text usage.
ZEUS, quite simply put, ROCKS.

!!!Zeus!!!
Is ZEUS the most stable as well?
Stability is the #1 factor for me. That and lack of amateur theming. Can't stand it when authors choose to put in weird looking fonts and other stuff. I watched the video that showed off zeus rom though and that is definitely not the case. EXTREMELY pretty.

Any recommendations for a nice ROM that sites a superior job at: accessing data, making and receiving calls, Bluetooth headset operability, etc?
I have constant trouble with all of this on CM7, and need to do better...despite living the ROM's other features.

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.

For gameplay I haven't found a ROM that beats icbinb, and all the necessary tweaks are already built into it to make it as good as it can be.
However my favorite ROM is unnamed, and with adrenaline shot 14.1 its as close to icbinbs game performance as I've ever seen. And with the sms-kj6-v0.1.1-rc1+ kernel from bhundvens original kernel thread, UV/OC at 1.2, its the most stable I've seen. Literally no reboots.

Can it be used in addition to as, or are they pretty much the same?
You don't need both. DSexton wrote both of them. And most tweaks are written to delete or overwrite whatever else is in the folder.
But if you have as, is the phone already overclocked, or do we have to do that ourselves? Would it just be the same thing?
You need tegrak ultimate to oc. The paid version of the app. And it is definitely worth the money to undervolt for battery sake.
Ok so right now I have Valhalla Black Final rom, SMS Kj6 kernel, and Adrenaline shot 14.1 mod. Do you think I should flash a modem? because I don't know what they do.
Different modems are generally said to work better in different parts of the country. Try a different one and see what you think. You can always flash back to KJ6 if you want. And hit thanks.
Alright thanks for the help. For anyone else, I am running Valhalla Black, KJ6 and Adrenaline Shot 14.1, and the phone is running very smooth and is very responsive.
Just flash Val black and call it a day.
