can someone help me out, i have 3 nexus s 4gs each on different roms but some of the same problems.
first, my phone (nscollab+franco kernel) and my wife's phone (Matr1x rom + kernel) will sometime shut down, and the power button wont work, i have to pull the battery to get it to work again
second, this is rare but every now and again the phones reboot and play the boot animation in inverted colors not sure why.
but is there something im missing, new radio, spl? or are my settings for the kernels not right, any help would be appreciated.
Does this happen on Matr1x v11.5?

Hey mathkid. No I tried to dl that version but flashing was failing, has the link been fixed? I would like to get new version on my phone as well, also could you recommended settings for nstool for me, like voltages, CPU government, ext.
Oh man I just looked and you closed the rom thread so you mean the kernel and no I'm running franco and my wife has the old matr1x rom so. what do you suggest I flash
Try Matr1x v11.5 cfs and start off w/ 1000/100 ondemand w/ no deep idle
if that runs well we can adjust further
K will try, I'll report back

Has anyone been successfull? i have tried every OC kernel and as soon as i overclock it just reboots my phone to a freeze (only way out is to either pull the battery or adb reboot). That being said the UV kernel runs fine.
Not sure if it has to do with the I9020A series.
But overall, each NS phone can tolerate its own OC levels. Some phones can tolerate only up to 1.2 GHz, some may be able to achieve 1.4GHz (or beyond). And for some of the unfortunate, some aren't able to OC at all.
Thus this post. I hope my phone is'nt the issue. it would be nice to push a little bit more out of it if i needed it down the line.
I over clocked mine to 1.4 and it was fine, I leave it at 1.0 tho, this friggin thing is quick enough for now.
hmm how do you check your radio. I'm gonna try that as a last resort. And i can set mine as 1.4 but as soon as i run a resource heavy task (n64) my phone locks up and reboot freezes.

Not sure why a radio would affect your ability to OC but...
Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband Version
the last 3 are what you want to look at "JK8/KB1/KB3"
List all the kernels you've tried. The best in my opinion is Netarchy's 1.3.0.3-CFS kernel using SetCPU
Try intervals of 1.2 GHz too. My phone can only go up to 1.2 GHz
Yeah actually i had tried all of the bfs kernels. I just succeeded in getting Netarchy's 1.3.0.3-CFS kernel. And i can run up to 1.4 . Maybe the brain fk scheduler does not play nice with 9020a's

awesome. I just prefer CFS because with BFS the boot animation doesn't show, and it bothers me.

i flashed the BFS first, and lost my boot animation. Then i switched to the CFS, and the boot animation still didnt appear.
Any ideas as to how i can get it back?
Also, is there anyway to recover the stock kernel? I'd like to have it handy to be able to go back to it.

Wipe dalvik and cache. Flash a rom that flashes stock. Like cm7 but netarchys is so much better than stock
You can also get ogdobbers which is stock + ext4 + voodoo.

Hey everyone,
This is an off topic question but does anyone know what happened to the 1.6 OC support for Netarchy? I loved to see the absurdly high quadrant scores and instantaneous screen transitions.
Thanks,

you're better off asking that in the netarchy kernel thread in dev forums.
netarchy could answer that... not a lot of phones can tolerate 1.6 GHz Oc
Thanks, yeah i felt a little bad posting the question here. Though ive been an avid user for a long time i have never posted so i didnt have sufficient rites to post in the decelopment section yet : (

Hello XDA
I am loving this new build for MIUI I am running the new 108050 and I was wondering what kind of Kernal I can run with this rom or if you can help me figure out my problems.
In the OP jface states that one of the bugs that needs to be fixed is get the kernal support up to date because it would support anything up until nightly 85
I have downloaded fauxs kernals from 3.3 onward and everytime I load the kernals I get no sound and things start to get buggy?
Does the new Rom have this kernal issue fixed or do I just have a special phone
Same here

Likely that it doesn't play nice with these kernels
Miui doesn't play nice with the CM7 Kernels. It has bugs, even wit hthe new version(I had two battery pulls yesterday and some apps don't run). I tred Faux's kernel and wasn't able to hear calls....so I stuck to stock. It almost works, and with it being so pretty, that's enough for me.
I had read somewhere that morfic's trinity kernals play are compatible with MIUI...but that the camera can get a little wonky at times- and i have experienced this with the 1.7.29 version where the colors get messed up- but has anyone tried the trinity kernal on the 1.8.5 yet?
Thank you for your response I really do love MIUI I just wanted to undervolt
And also, I was wondering if there was a way of getting the newest MIUI version without re-flashing, wiping and factory reset and that stuff, I really don't feel like starting off new again. So again what are your suggestions for kernels, I kinda like the idea of over clocking, but it isn't a necessity.
I am using the latest franco kernel on ideos x5 , i´m having some ocasional reebots . But he already said he would fix it , for what i know its a good kernel to use.
Franco's hands down.If you have any probs raise the voltages.

Where do I get this kernel, and I assume it can be used with MIUI 1.9.30? Also I forgot to mention I have a Samsung Infuse 4g, can I still get franco's kernel?
Hello, I'm brand new to all of these roms and such, I've got a rooted 2.2.2 froyo g2x/lgP999. I am interested in getting a rom and a kernel. I am interested in getting ginger bread 2.3.3 and overclocking along with more battery life and a theme. Could I be linked to tutorials and suggested roms/kernels, and I have looked around but i really have no idea what im looking at so please don't say you've done nothing and are making us do all your work :\

Hi there,
If you don't have cwm recovery installed on your phone follow the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 to flash it.
Then pick one of the following 2.3.3 roms and flash it following the instructions provided on the thread:

There might be more 2.3.3 roms available in the development section, also you might wanna consider flashing a 2.3.7 rom, if so check out the development section and pick one, or try several roms and pick whichever one you like most. Devs are more active with 2.3.7 roms, so you'll find better support and more features.
As for the kernels, you can usually overclock your CPU with any custom rom (provided you get the appropriate app from the market if there are no OCing options built into the rom), but I haven't used a 2.3.3 rom in a long time so I'm not sure if OCing is available with the stock kernels they come with. If you do go with a 2.3.5 (or above, namely 2.3.7) rom then you can try either:
Morfic's kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078049
or Faux's kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073626
They're both excellent kernels, Trinity (Morfic's kernel) has a known issue with rebooting, the phone will freeze every now and then when you try to reboot so you'd have to do a battery pull.
Faux's kernel doesn't have that issue, but, for me at lease, when trying to reboot into recovery it does a normal reboot instead.
As you might already know, the G2X has a somewhat crappy battery life, most people can't get more than 24-30 hours of battery life with the stock battery, and from what I read most of the custom batteries aren't as good as advertised, so your best bet is to use an under volted kernel and try to find some battery tweaks in the forums.
There's way too many themes to list here but basically, for CM7 roms you can look for themes in the market, and for MIUI themes you can use their themes app to find something suitable.

A note on overclocking:
Please know that not all phones respond the same when overclocked. In other words, some phones can't handle the same overclock speed as other phones. And also note that overclocking sacrifices a bit of battery life to increase the performance, the extra juice has to come from somewhere. I suggest starting from the stock kernel of whichever rom you choose, see how your phone does on a stock, unmodded kernel. If you want a little more performance, then you can flash a custom one and slowly increase clock speed over time to see how your phone responds. If you want more battery life, then you should read up on UV (undervolting) settings in the custom kernel. The key is to try and find a nice combination of both so you can benefit great battery life and performance, but requires some tinkering and testing to get that right combination. Just something to note.
Phoenix Blood 1.7 with Faux123 048 kernel is the way to go. Do some reading on Google how to nvflash cwm and do a Android backup. Also titanium backup your applications and your golden.
Making bad decision's one at a time.

Thank you all for the fast response.
Now I have a question, are kernels used to acheive anything other than overclocking/undervolting? And are there any for 2.3.3 roms, if so which would you recommend?

Yes, your phone won't function without the kernel (obviously) and custom kernels are better than the stock one in that (in simple words) they improve performance and power consumption (kinda like drivers for computer parts).
I think the following would work for 2.3.3 roms, do a nandroid backup and try it, if it doesn't work just restore

I get better battery life on Eaglesblood 2.3.7 and Trinity ELP kernel (overclocked to 1.1GHz, normal is 1.0) than a stock based rom, like Weapon, will ever get. And on T15 kernel at 1.56 I can still get pretty damn good battery.

Go to http://www.derkernel.com/ and look under current G2x kernels for 2.3.5 builds. There's ELPmax, T15max, and TD158. Don't flash any of these kernels if you're on a 2.3.3 rom though. Good luck

That is impressive but i would defiantly not recommend doing that if you are just starting... That can cause extreme instability...
If you want to undervolt start small and work your way up in increments making sure to not have the settings to "Apply on boot" that way if you get a crash (And you will until you find the sweet spot) you wont be stuck with your phone crashing over and over because the cpu/kernel is freaking out
And SetCPU is a great program for OC/UV for any rom
question i cant seem to quickly find about undervolting:
when undervolting in pimpmycpu (SetCPU crashes on me when I go to voltage settings for whatever reason) do you undervolt each setting? Like -50mv for 1.4GHz, -50mv for 1.2Ghz, -50mv for 1Ghz etc etc etc.. or just -50mv for the top (1.4Ghz) setting?
Oh, I'm on Faux's 048 kernel..

You only undervolt the clock speed you're using, you can do it for both min and max values, or just for one. But if you use multiple OC profiles, then you can UV every clock speed you're using.
Either way, UVing all clock speeds shouldn't cause any issues, but it wouldn't help much
I came from the Hercules and I'm currently running Dewizzled 2.5 with Da_G's .42 kernel. If I use system tuner, it has no affect on the cpu... CPU tuner made my phone go into bootloop, and SetCPU makes it restart as soon as I go past 1.62ghz. With my hercules I had no problem running it at 1.89ghz
Hrm thats bizarre on cpu tuner and setcpu... have you tried the .42 with another rom? Also, if your able to use Da_g .42 without any SoD's (sleep of death) then you should really use Da_g .43 as it fixes an init script problem, which is likely why you werent seeing changes with system tuner. Seems alot of people have SoD's with various stock roms on Da_g's post .3 versions... so if you flash another rom and then start having them either flash .3 or change back to your working rom.
.43 Can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20090801&postcount=462
System tuner and setcpu also seem to force the second core online all the time, so its been highly recommended that you use a script to set the o'clock and such. Instructions are here, or if your not too saavy can use twopumpchump's pre-made version which is CWM flashable. (here)
It seems every cpu app I've tried revert the kernel back to it's stock settings. Faux's kernel is 384-1720 (I think) by default. I wish it was 192 as default. Every time I open up system tuner pro, setcpu, fauxclock, rom toolbox pro.....they don't stick. If anyone has a way of making it stick I know I'd appreciate it. Even if I choose set on boot it doesn't.

Thanks I'll flash that and see if it works I have a feeling that it's the mixture of Dewizzled and Da_G lol and I love TDJ's Darkside kernel but right now it's only available for the Hercules so it'll cause the screen orientation issue. Hopefully he'll make a port for the Skyrocket
I had the same problem but on coke rom with faux.. So I flashed the giedion script.. And now it seem to hold and go now deep sleep, and check it out in the faux kernel section in the development section.

1 at I time. I uninstall if it doesn't work before installing the next. i've had my phone with screen off for a while now and it seems that 75% it's staying at 540mhz, barely at deep sleep and rest at 1728mhz
I actually underclock my processor. To about 1ghz . As for your deep sleep issue I can't actually say cause I've never had the issue but look around the skyrocket threads. There's a lot of info on it.
