[Q] Best Kernel for ICS on G2x? - T-Mobile LG G2x

I've recently flashed to an ICS rom, and I am now trying to figure out what the best kernel is to run with it (I'd really like to see one that maximizes battery life.) If you are running ICS, would you mind please posting what ROM you are using and what Kernel you have along with it. Also, take a second to explain the pros and cons of that Kernel so we may all make more informed decisions as we prepare to potentially flash one...
Thank you kindly!

I would say Faux123 its a good kernel and its good for a good battery life.

Does faux123 support voodoo sound? Also is it compatible with Hellfire?

I believe Hellfire already added faux kernel in the newest rom 1.4 check this thread.

it does appear he did....thanks for that! ...and I'm still up for any other suggestions floating around out there.

Is anyone else getting really choppy video playback with this rom?

Mr. Apocalypse uses Harsh's kernel for Genesis. Owain uses Harsh's kernel for his ICS build. x0xhellx0x uses Faux's kernel for Hellfire Sandwich. I think you can use those as starting point. I like Morfic's Trinity kernel because you can OC to 1560.

Everyone is. NVIDIA has yet to release ICS drivers... so there is sub optimal video on all ICS builds.
We await the official release.

i would recomment the harsh kernel 1505 oc i love it smooth nice battery. i'm against faux it's good in battery and fast, but when you try doing too many stuff it starts hanging

With no disrespect to bedwa I feel the hellraiser kernel is better. Even with overclock infusion doesnt seem as fast. The hellraiser and entropys kernels also now have initramfs mods from the att gb leak that give faster data speeds and functional wifi on att based roms that are to come.
Others may have a different oppinion. Also I'm not sure what is packaged in that rom.

*DISCLAIMER - I'm very new with all of this*
I agree with you, Dani. I played around with several different kernels and ROMs before settling where I'm at. I'm in love with Entropy's daily driver. Between solid battery life, very decent data speeds, and overall snappiness, it's the best thing I've used so far....

With the latest firmware update, all custom kernels have become unstable, including blades. People have reported their TF locking up with custom kernels. The only custom kernel that isn't unstable is clemsyn v21. Unfortunately, there's a battery drain of the dock with this kernel.
For now, until the kernel devs figure out what the hell is going on, the best thing for yout to do is use the stock kernel.
I havent had issue one with Roach's overclock kernel set at 1.4

[Q] Flashing Kernel

How would i got about flashing a new kernel?
im using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376027
and will flashing a kernel trip the counter?
are all kernels compatible with all roms?
can i use an att kernel on my 727r?

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!!

[Q] ICS ROM / KERNEL ? Anything official / Information?

Hello, I have been doing some reading here as well I sit on IRC on the #skyrocket channel which is pretty quiet these days.
I am using TPC GB rom build with Da_G kernel, and so far (since november 2011) it has been solid.
I have tried alienROM for the ICS leak, but it is missing some kernel features I like, however is a decent ROM. I was wondering if there were any nice ROMs or Kernels for ICS yet, or are well all still waiting for samsung to release an official ICS build so proper kernels can be made. It has been quite awhile and are we even getting an official build for the I727R (Rogers)
I wanted to post here if that is OK because I have not been finding too many answers to what I am looking for. I am in no rush really, but wanted to start thinking about tweeking my phone. Would it be best to play with leaked builds or just wait till some official builds come out then wait and go from there. If anyone has suggestions that would be great.
Thank you for your time and comments.
Hi. All the roms you'll find here are decent and will each appeal to different people and their needs. I've found the latest SkyICS to be excellent in many ways. Try a few different ones to see what you like. Any will be better than stock GB.
As for kernels, there are a few out, but none will have all the features we like about a custom kernel until the official ICS is released because -as far as I know - the code for the kernel hasn't been released yet.
For example, we won't have overclocking until someone can tear into the official released kernel.
I am not a developer, so please, someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Originally I created this thread to showcase the CM7 and GB kernel lines. The reason I choose this is that I personally have used every kernel i uploaded. And thats the other point, I uploaded/mirrored these specifically as most new members are first time flashing this phone, so most tend to flash CM7/GB ROMs for stability. Alot of this older ROM material is getting buried/harder to find or the links are dead, and the latest has been government seizure of hosting servers.
That being said, if people want this to be a thread containing a collection of all kernels old and current i can change it up. I will need your help as i am a full time college student and work full time as well. Any kernel that you would like listed in the OP, please link me, or if you have it on your PC, PM me and send it as an attachment via email. Any kernel i list i want to upload /mirror that way i know the links are valid, and if for some unseen reason the current service im using for hosting gets caught up in a government seizure, i will be able to move everything to a second site more easily.
As always,open to suggestions and appreciative of your help.
We are a community.
