Hi guys,
I am currently in limbo here. I have had my Skyrocket since Oct/Nov and I have juggled between half-a-dozen roms. The problem is that non of these roms have allowed me to achieve download speeds that Rogers allows my phone to achieve.
I figured that if I go back to stock then I would be able to get those speeds but the thing is: does anyone recommend any particular kernel to go with my phone? Correct me if I am wrong but it is the kernel that allows for a lot of the performance gains and increases in battery life so I figured that if I had the proper kernel then I can live happily ever after.
Try Bonestocketeer or any of the other almost stock roms. Eugene's kernel from what I remember is really good as its stock but under/overclock unlocked. Make sure that u are using the Rogers radio (KJ7)
Which one is Eugene's kernel?

Bump... Which one is Eugene's kernel. I'd also like it.
Sorry that kernel is for the t989 I believe. Try romracers stockish 0.03. I've tried it and its very stable.

whats the best combo for rom and kernal for the g2x.
im about to install the eagleblood 2.3.3bg (since it has the stock camera) and was looking for a kernal so i could oc it. thanks for the help
also whats best 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 or 2.3.5????
For the most part, rom choice is going to come down to personal preference. As for kernels, faux's is pretty popular. Personally, I'm running eagleblood 2.3.3 and stock kernel.

I am running Triggers 2.3.5 with Fauxs 0.3.5-sv OC to 1.4Ghz and it is awesome. No reboots or issues at all.
There is no kernel made for the ota (2.3.3) roms only 2.2.2 froyo, 2.3.5 cm, eb2.3.5 so basically any rom that is based off the new 2.3.3 ota will not have a oc kernel for it yet LG didn't release source, and best rom kernel combo is definitely cm, and fauxs latest or morfics it a toss up, but honestly the newest nightly runs so nice u wont need one and it has voodoo built in and boot up time is super quick, idk IMO oc kernels are not needed with this phone it is already sick quick I get 3100 quadrant with cm stock kernel, now if u want to save battery life grab a UV kernel
blondie or brunette?? LOL its all up to ur taste for roms and kernels! Im having a great time using the rom and kernel on my sig! But all depends on you and your phone... (some phones dont like oc/uv), the only way to know is to flash, flash flash and flash (watch out not to become a flashaholic...)
Any rooted 2.3.3 ROM, with the Stock Kernel, and LG Camera App.

First I was wondering if anyone who is on bamf soab has any battery saving tips for this Rom and for some reason I cannot flash imo's kernel without getting bootloop. I am flashing the sense kernel and I have tried some wipes any other ideas?
Are you flashing the only IMO kernel that they said would work? Read their thread bamf or rootzwiki on the other forums and there is a IMO 3.8.0 (i think is the number) that is edited for SOAB linked there, the normal 3.8.0 won't work, which might be your problem.
I went to the one posted to work with soab. I feel like I still am not getting the correct kernel. The links bring me to the imo sense kernel page and the 3.8 one that is listed is the one i attempted to flash
I pm'ed you the links you need buddy. Good luck.
Thanks. I really wanna get off the stock kernel. It doesn't seem to hold well for battery life. Can't get enough of the soab Rom. Just needs that battery life tweaked
Even with Imo's kernel the battery life isn't ideal, but that is to be expected with a straight port of a ROM not made for this phone. I have no doubt Team BAMF will tweak it out and make the battery life awesome in the future.
I am running BAMF Soab v1.02 and had no problem flashing the3.8.0G kernel.

I just wiped and reflashed 1.02 and then the kernel I still bootlooped. Oh well no biggie I just hope they get that battery life in order or I can find a way to because this Rom is way too good to get rid of haha
I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to let you know that the new version of SoAB also has a new Imo kernel available, and they're working well together. PM me if you want to discuss issues or anything, or need help with something.

Currently running MIUI 1.99 with Matr1x #5 kernel. Looking to flash a new ROM and/or kernel as it's been awhile. There's so many of each that I don't know where to start. My main priorities are stability and speed.
The only other ROM I've used is Cyanogenmod but I had a lot of issues with random reboots. Have these issues gotten better?
Any ROM suggestions? Thanks
Rooted stock with Matr1x. I recently switched back after months on CM7 doing the nightly flash routine. Don't miss it a single bit.

I don't even remember what the stock rom is like. I got cyanogen almost inmediately after getting my phone. Perhaps I'll try stock... what's the best way to go about doing this? Do i need to unroot my phone?

backup apps with titanium backup + factory reset (wipe data/cache/dalvik) + flash stock rom.
here you can find a great collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
you DO loose root by flashing a stock rom, but you just have to re-flash superuser (and maybe cwm if needed). I find the stock gingerbread rom very fast and reliable.
Plus, you'll receive the ICS ota when it's ready
(but you'll need to flash the stock recovery)
Wait another 2-3 weeks and flash ice cream sandwich.

Flash deck 1.3. Really fast stable and great battery life. Its just like stock rom with a few extra tweaks. Has some of cm7 mods without the bloat. Has toggle switches on the drop down and some status bar tweaks but very stable and like I said its close to stock. Running it with matrix 9.0. Give it try.

Sorry man its in the nexus s 4g dev section but i cant find it on the GSM dev section. You can always try oxygen rom which is very similar to deck which I was running before I flashed deck. Has the same kind of tweaks more or less. Was also a really good rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285243
give carbon a shot. it's based on oxygen but gives better performance than any rom i've used since getting this phone

I'd suggest NSCollab and a trinity kernel. This combo worked well for me but I caught the flashing bug since getting this Nexus S and now I'm off to try Nexus MV.
you should try superosr rom (AOSP), very fast and include CM settings as well
I've been trying all NS Roms, and I'll prefer NSCollab because,
-Fast and stable (Near 5000 in quadrant)
-Never had a random reboot
-Extremely stable at 1,2GHz
-Probably the best CM7-based ROM
I don't give a opinion about which kernel u need to use, because they are all awesome, for the highest score in Quadrant, use the Trinity TUV kernel.
But I like the Netarchy or Matr1x kernel more because they are more stable in my eyes. I hope this will give you some more information
U can also wait for ICS (IceCream Sandwich), it will be awesome too.
I'd suggest stock rom + stock kernel.
lower quadrant score but higher performance
Oxygen 2.3 with Matr1x
4097 quadrant at 1,3Ghz.
*UPDATE*
Try the Franco.Kernel, tested it, very stable and high performance.
Greets.
Matr1x all the way bud lmao

Flash the Kernel thru CWM and you wont have to worry about the counter.
no Not all Kernels are compatible with all roms, but we only have four right now any way. and one is a CM7 kernel so you only use that with CM7.
the others are Romracers stockish kernel, Da g's OC kernel, and the Stock kernel itself.
just read the kernel OP it will tell you if its for rogers or at&t.
i personallly dont like to recomend roms and kernels....so my advice is flash away and find one that you like
good luck
thanks for the reply... im interested in the oc kernel, have you tried it? and do you think its worth it to oc? is it stable? i know its has a fast processor on stock so i dont know if overclocking pros really outweigh the cons.

i personally LOVE to OC, but Da G's kernel does have its hikups....and i have been using his Kernels since 0.1 and its now on .43 the overclocking is great, it does seem to make the roms run smoother, but i seemed to suffer alot of SOD's while using his kernel. but they are patches that you can run, like the one in TPCs Rom Thread that may fix that.
but not eveyone experiances the same stuff. again i would just try them and you make like them.
the stock kernel is fast though, but once we get a stable OC kernel believe i will be oc'ing to the max trying to melt my phone.....
Just flashed the CM 7 kernel with the Sky Ice Cream ROM. Now my phone won't go past the Samsung boot screen and I can't get it into recovery. NEED HELP PLEASE!!

What is the best kernel to use for this phone, i want to know personaly before i try using a different kernel
I could be wrong, but isn't there only 2?
The one that comes with the rom and then Faux's?
Until EB updates with the data limit warning thing, I'd use Faux. Then whenever Faux gets better flash whatever new he cooks up.
