[Der Kernel] Trinity for G2x - Performance + Batterylife - CM9 + CM7/GB 2.3.5+ based

Trinity G2x​
This kernel aims at bringing performance and usability to your phone.
Is this kernel where i want it to be? No, not yet.
Is it worth flashing? Yes it is.
It seems cpasjuste's UV feature is something hard to get around, so I didn't fight the source and just included this.
So what do we have?
cm source based (2.6.32.43) (cm changelog not repeated here, i'll try to stay in sync)
Cpasjuste UV/OC
VM improvements (keeps you from running out of memory, stalls if they happen are shorter and less severe than in stock kernels)
Build improvements (leaner, meaner code)
No crazy long feature lists, less is more!

Thanks to @RyanMacG for euroskank hosting​
For those who can't wait for the next kernel release and want the new Trinity bootanimation by the awesome @rascarlo NOW.
Check his other awesome stuff while you are there.​
Make sure you have a recovery with support for ext4
Setcpu supports these kernels, as does the cpu settings under CM7 performance setting, no tool required if further UV is not desired!

no need it...just flash

SWEET! ( at the stock kernel)...can't wait!

Need more info before I flash this. - Reserved for comments later
UPDATE! Ok, Beautiful KERNEL, only issue now is CM7 not running smooth - CM7 is obviously a nightly and not a RC. Have my fingers crossed for a stable CM7 Release.
+1 For Kernel
+1 Donate to the cause

Nice.
Speed is the word for how my phone works after flashing this.
Even without using Pimp My CPU
Very snappy indeed!
Thanks for the excellent work.

Do we need pimp my CPU for UV, or is it UV by default?

Just remember one persons voltages may not work for the next person as each phone is different.

GREAT GREAT WORK!!!! Keep it up amigo!!!

I don't know if this helps much but its my uv setting. I have the scheduler set at anticipatory. Works with force min frequency when screen off. Phone is super smooth too.

I'm pretty excited for this, will be flashing tonight.

Quadrant scores : Good or bad?

Score is 1339. I am running KG4 rooted with no custom settings. Also what is the best screenshot app on the market. I am using screen grabber currently but when I try to upload a picture to XDA it says image file incorrect.

My score ranges from about 1400 to 1700's depending on when I run it and I have been using drocap for screen shots.

The focus of many of the roms now are performance and smoothness. If your quadrant scores aren't that great, don't worry too much about it; as long as the phone works great. For screen grabber, try switching the file type to jpeg in settings

OC'd to 1.3 w/Tegrak, running Bali3.3UV w/ext4, stock rom, bloatware removed, "system critical" apps integrated into rom, ~100mb free in rom, 16gb 10x sdhc w/2gb ext4 for links2sd, rest is fat32, lagfix, launcher pro plus
With trillian's monitor service backgrounded and nothing else running, I quad 1866
Phone runs smooth as butter, no issues whatsoever beyond the wifi calling bug that plagues Bali kernels.

With the stock kernel, I could only get 1300 or so OC'd to 1.44 (but i think the kernel capped at 1.3 anyways). Bali+ext4=/win

Yes sir, it is. Phone is running amazing.

KG6 / KG4 kernel+ cwm, ext4 on all partitions. Stock build.prop with a few changes and a little o/c madness. No lag, smooth and fast as can be.

OC -
Final tweaks and oc to 1.62... Lol -
Can't wait for a custom kernel for gb. That will set this phone off!

that is a ridiculous OC. is your phone getting overly hot?

Blazing fast after the update

I got a quadrant score 2500+ for the first time after the update. I notice the IO was doubled, in quadrant advance before the update I would get 2000+ on the IO test, but now it gets 4000+. What did tmobile did on the update that it got the device IO scores doubled?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

I have the same thing with my device as well. After testing it with Quadrant Advanced, my score is 2500+ and before this update it never reached 2000 at all.

It's not just speed... battery life has been improved as well.

just updated mine as well. It went from 2160 before the update to 2783 in quadrant and 4911 before to 5225 on AnTuTu. Now lets see how much the battery is improved

Yea I just got 2714 score on quadrant. Damn this update was very good for the device, this just proves that how fast a device is isn't just about the processor, its more of like a balance between the processor and the software. If the software is crap but the processor is the best one out there, it really doesn't help much. For instance look at the galaxy nexus, it has the hummingbird GPU not the latest exynos yet it is faster than the galaxy s 2!
So really if you think about it its not about the processor only is more about the software.

It depends.
ROMs based on the T-Mobile base won't be as fast until they incorporate what's changed in this ota update. Once they do, they'll likely end up being faster.

one the of the best iv ever seen on my g2x i think its better then faux's kernel and it doesnt have the funky readings btw iv been hearing great things about pheonix blood how is it?

running MIUI and last faux, so far it's pretty good.

I have reverted back to Tsugi 12-7 update. It's fast and reliable even with its stock kernel. On top of that my phone has been running for 12 hours now and am sitting at 50% battery. It's pretty great.

Best Battery Life Kernel

I'm running synergy nightlies and am looking for a kernel that get the best battery life... I don't need over clocking or anything like that I keep the phone in power saver mode if that even does much... If anyone has some information on this that would be great!
Also is the kernel that comes with the latest synergy nightlies good on battery? Thanks!

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I've found that using setcpu and keeping ziggy's synergy kernel at 1.51 max and .384 min with the ondemand has been stellar in battery life. Those are the default kernel settings for the stock samsung kernel. Its been great for me, but its also all relative to what you consider to be "best battery life" i keep a charger at work, at home, and in my car, so my phone is always plugged in, i also keep the brightness all the way down because that seems to be bright enough for me, and i don't do much streaming since i keep all my music on my sd card. But i can easily get 3 - 4 hours of screen on time
If ziggy's kernel isn't your choice then i'd say go with imoseyons lean kernel, i used that all the time on my tbolt and it definitely improved battery life. That kernel can be found HERE he doesn't have a thread for it on xda, so you'll have to download it here.
Oh and if you do try out imoseyon and want to return to ziggy's kernel, there's a link to download ziggy's kernel in the OP of the synergy thread.
I hope this helps

I really enjoyed his CM10 Kernel. However on Beans 10 this kernel just ate battery and completely killed my performance. IMO .4 seemed the best on my phone.
