[Q] Kernel/Tweak suggestions for a new(ish) Android/Nexus S user? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there
I recently purchased a Nexus S, it's soooo good to be on Android, I love it!
So I've played around with some ROMs and I've settled on MIUI, I absolutely love the menu scheme and a few other features.
I've done some reading up on different kernels and ROMs for the Nexus S and I'm finding it hard deciding what to go for.
Of course, I know, it's all down to me, my personal preference and what I use my phone for, but, I was wondering if you guys wouldn't mind suggesting a few things?
I'd like to stick on a MIUI based ROM at least (mainly for the menu scheme), and of course I want what everyone wants; decent battery life, decent performance, nice and solid.
So, what d'you reckon in regard to different kernels and ROM mixes?
Thanks very much for your time, any help is greatly appreciated

well well , i am in the same situation as you are , that don't know which rom and kernel to choose
i was using stock + talon 3.2.1 kernel , it's damn good
i am now using Brainmaster's MIUI , it's good as well , but as we all know , MIUI is kinda like battery killer ... so i need a good kernel to make battery lasts as longer as possible
currently i am using Franco kernel feel little lag , perhaps it's because i may set wrong governor ...
i also heard Lucid and Matrix lasts pretty long battery life , so i am planning using franco for next few days and then flash other kernel to see if it's true.
but one thing for sure , if you wanna have battery last as long as possible , then stock would be your first choice , personal experience more stock = more battery life

Funny you should say that Mathkid! I'm using Matr1x right now, thoroughly impressed with the performance so far! I'll use it over the next week or so and see how I do, but this is promising results already Do you have any recommendations for tweaks or anything I should be setting to coincide with your kernel? I haven't OC'd or anything
Thanks very much for the feedback qtwrk! Good to hear someone else in in the same boat but is doing a bit more about it! I need to be a bit more adventurous

Qt I would go either ondemand, smartassv2, or lazy... for me, lazy seems to offer the best battery life with a retention of snappiness... but you can't go wrong with any of em
Eternal maybe ezekeels mods? Just be careful tho, because deep idle can be a bit of a bugger sometimes....
In addition try using 1.2 or 1.3 ghz
Please feel free to post in the matrix thread if you have any questions!!

Sweet lord.... (for lack of a better term)
This is f****ing amazing!
Using MIUI with Matr1x v9.0 CFS with the lazy governor:
I've been up and had my phone off charge from 5:30am (yes, I know, work is an evil, evil thing) It's now 4:32pm and I'm on 89% battery!?
I may have been at work all day... but that doesn't mean I haven't been using my phone! In fact I was using it nearly all day!
The craziest thing is... I have it OC'd to 1.3GHz, snappy as ever, in fact I don't think I've used a faster phone?
Okay... so there's a little something; I've had data and wifi turned off (I'll just turn 'em on for when I need 'em) and I'm using JuiceDefender Ultimate to help out, but, this proves as a suuuuper nice setup for performance and battery life.
Absolutely astonished, I know it's only been one day, but, if nothing changes, I think I'll be sticking with this as my setup for the foreseeable future
Excellent work Mathkid! I'll be posting screenshots of my future setups to my DeviantArt page: eternalkernel.deviantart.com in the future and I'll be sure to mention my setup and give you praise. People are always curious about the innards of the phone, not just how it looks, so that should help spread the word a bit more about your awesome work.
Thanks again Mathkid, keep it up!

For the best overall performance and battery life, definitely try the Matr1x kernel..
If you want some more battery life, but less performance, try the franco.Kernel
If you still want more battery life, then give Morfic's TEUV kernel a try.

There is no best kernel. All the threads asking receive the same answer, that is that it all comes down to personal preference. Try them all and see what you like best.

yow dude! so based on your experience, which kernel do you prefer?
I tried Trinity, drains my battery faster than usual.
I've been using Matr1x, but some people have had issues. That's why I really can't recommend anything other than that you try a few and see what works best for you.

Sleep of Death, phone goes into sleep mode and freezes. Raising the Voltages helps.
I have tried every kernel out there & have had trouble in some form with all of them, except for the Glados Kernel. Rock solid stable, & a nice balance of performance / battery life. Using NStools allows you to get the most out of the kernel. I use it with live OC set at 105, & the lazy governer. This is what works well for me, it may differ for your phone.

Thats a adventure you have to take alone

Check out the kernels in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283031
The nice thing about it is the availability of the 1320MHz frequency (if needed), yet you can run an undervolted setting most of the time and enjoy great battery life.
Most other kernels seem to be either fast or good on battery, here you get both in one package. Give it a test drive!

I'm using Trinity now with 1.54 OC. It's snappy but drains battery fast.
A millionth time I've seen such a thread, and a millionth time I say the same - "Its your own personal choice..."
Not angry or such but just trying to make a joke...
I'm pretty much happy with the Matr1x Kernel, Netarchy dies on me, GLaDos is pretty good too, Trinity dies on me too...

Hi.
I think that if you want so good batterylife as possible, it all depends on what ROM and kernel you are using together.
In my opinion Matr1x and GlaDOS 2.9 are probably the best, and you should try one of them, or why not try one for a week, then try the other and then deside.

No, just kidding, but it is with a c. I think you're totally right! I prefer Matr1x, but GlaDOS belongs to one of the best kernels as well!

I'm very surprised at this, given Pete's propensity to tweak the baked in kernel dramatically to improve both performance and battery life. I'm getting great results of both using his kernel.
Saying that, Steve Garon's plays very nicely with Pete's ROM. Either leave ondemand and deadline scheduler.
Matr1x is also very good. Same there, or use lazy for decent battery life.
As for what settings. It totally depends what you have going. If you got 25 different news widgets sucking data like there's no tomorrow, then yes, you;re going to see crappy battery life. Tell us what you;ve got going on and we'll try and help.
Well I just turned sync off most Google stuff aside from Gmail and twitter sync is off and other stuff I am not all sure what is and isn't off or on
I can almost sit back and watch my battery tick down ward
Is there like maybe an extended battery aside from the one in box can buy to assist n more juice

I disagree, do you want to give her some P.O.S. that hardly functions or a piece of gold that will eat the soul of most any phone that comes near it?
Here was my experience on stock:
First problem was vibrate not functioning correctly, second was touch screen being stupidly non-responsive, to the point I couldn't zoom in the browser, third, it was as ugly as some irradiated inbred cannibal.
Give her CM7, with a 1.1GHz battery life kernel and find a suitable theme for it.
appreciate your responses!
Will go ROM based on your answers.
Now it's just matter of finding one that most of all is stable....

I have used that one for a while. Many bugs in my experience. Then pure ported one, still behaved odd.
I think some forum members said that Eaglesblood is rock-solid.
I've been off it since the ICS Alpha, but the Euroskank Nightlies worked great for me. I'd load one, get it set up and play with it and make sure it's running good. I've noticed people making comments about stuff being broken in the newer CM releases, and since the Euroskank's are kangs those features may also be broken.

Yeah, use Eaglesblood 2.3.7 cm based, and use morfic's ELP kernel and use the CM performance settings to set it to 750 mhz and set at boot. Will give amazing stability and speed, plus battery life for days if she's a light user. If she's a heavy user (games, etc...) set it to 1100 mhz.

Whatever you may use, either of the ROMs have their own qualities and defects. But one thing I have noticed: when using Rom Mannager app the battery gets emptied quicker. The difference might be of 2-3hours/day.

I have heard this to be true with Titanium Backup as well; restoring apps makes it drain faster. Who knows if it's really true or not?! but some say that they feel this is the case...
I do it all manually. Takes more time, but I just got to know it's all correct. OCD!
If you use an app like Set CPU you will notice that it automatically adjusts the clock frequency depending on what you're doing. So, if you doing an operation like a huge restore, yea it's going to use some battery.
I tried several ROMs, attempting to get past the lockups, reboots, etc. EaglesBlood's was the most stable that I tried; Weapon's worked well at the start but started into the reboot cycle after about a week. With the EB ROM I rarely had problems.
if u want a flawless stable rom flash hellfire phoenix 1.9

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!

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.

Scott's CleanKernel v. IMO's leanKernel

IMO updated his TouchWiz kernel yesterday. Up until today I was using Scott's CleanKernel. Both are amazing kernels in my eyes. Both kernels are undervolted and overclocked. I had no issues with CleanKernel at all. I always seems to have bad battery life on the leanKernel until I flashed the updated .4 version this morning. Battery life seems much better compared to any leanKernel before the update. When running CleanKernel, I got a quadrant score of 4980. With leanKernel 0.4 I got 5160, both at stock 1.5GHz. I just want to see if others have noticed what I have between these two kernels.
You forgot that both are released in the Development section. A place where this thread does NOT belong...

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
personally i like leankernal because of how light and simple it is. no unneccesary weight and battery life is great.
Clean kernel is closer to stock than imos kernel which is kinda good and bad. The more you modify the kernel the more chance you'll have of breaking something but you also have the posabilty of making it way better if done right and everything comes out ok.
I would expect clean kernel to be more stable, less battery efficient, and a little slower overall. Where imos kernel could vary drastically with each update due to more major things being edited or changed. Right now imos beta. 4 has pretty good battery life over stock and is stable.
Personally I try the more modified stuff first and if I don't feel it pays off I move to something more stable or closer to stock until an update is released or problem addressed. Just my. 02

Clean Kernel is under volt by default for a given frequency. That is why the battery life is better. If you are looking for both performance and battery life, you should over clock Clean Kernel frequency to 1.89 (default is 1.5) max and min should be 400 range. GPU in Clean Kernel is also over clocked. "stable" is the key word to differentiate between the two. I would think that Clean Kernel is the most stable kernel of all. For speed they should be the same, for bells and whistles, Lean kernel would be your choice. To sum up, Clean Kernel give you both world, stable, performance and battery life... unless you want something else beside those 3.

Like I have mentioned, if you aiming for gaming performance then you better to use lean, but then your battery life wouldn't be too good. Most of people just want a fast stable phone and a good battery life for daily use, then Clean will be a better choice. The reason it's stable because no tweaks to it except for OC/UV. Have you tried to play game with Clean over clocked to 1.89?

Actually I never thought of overclocking and playing the game until now. I guess Im just used to being at stock. But I will give it a try and see how that works. But what your saying definitely makes sense and should clear some things up. Performace + battery life = cleankernel. PERFORMANCE + PERFORMANCE = leankernel. Although the battery life on leankernel has dramatically been improved.

But what your saying definitely makes sense and should clear some things up. Performace + battery life = cleankernel. PERFORMANCE + PERFORMANCE = leankernel. Although the battery life on leankernel has dramatically been improved.

Haha.. you got it...almost.. Performance+battery life+stable=Clean. Super perfornance -less battery life - 10% stable=Lean kernel. Good luck bro.
ok I just setup an app profile in setcpu. so now everytime im in my game, its overclocked. When im using it normally, its at stock speed. With the screen off, its at min 190 and max 452. so far so good!
.5 is up now with more fixes.

Thanks for the heads up! More battery drain fixes. Although it says in order to revert back to stock we have to flash a ROM with a kernel. Would a nan backup work? Anyone tests the kernel yet
