go for any of the 4.0.4 roms maybe like pixel or stuffed crust or cybergr or brainmasters stock .. use a custom kernel matrix 18.5 cfs perhaps and u should have amazing battery life ..

I'd say battery life is most dependent on the Kernel. It is true that the 4.0.4 ROMs have better battery than 4.0.3 but also lack a few features right now. Wait until AOKP build 29 comes out. It is going to have a ton of features and be merged with 4.0.4 Now kernel wise.... Air Kernel, Matrix Kernel, and Speedy 7. When you use a kernel make sure to change the scheduler. Default is CFQ but I always have terrible battery with it. Try Noop or deadline.
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
AOKP (Build 28)
Air Kernel (3.45)
OC 800/100 (Noop)
Live OC (100)
v6 Supercharged
Chainfire 3D (Force GPU)

oh, and trinity does too. it supports voodoo and all the other nexus s goodies available. plus, its by far the fastest kernel(or most battery efficient, depending on which trinity kernel you chose).

its ok to flash a 2.3.4 kernel onto 2.3.5, provided that your phone boots it. and if it doesnt, just flash another. heres where the trinity kernels are. they come in many flavors, from 1ghz and up. there is also a "teuv" kernel, trinity extra undervolted. its at 880mhz, and made for battery saving. dont let the 880mhz scare you, its faster than many 1.2ghz kernels and much more battery efficient http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12931657&postcount=1

[Kernel List] HTC Doubleshot Kernels. February 21, 2012.

Kernels for the HTC Doubleshot. I'll update, and make it look more nice later. I put some time into this, so hopefully it's used. If there's any Kernels I'm missing, or info that's wroung let me know. Now I give you the First
::HTC Doubleshot Kernel List::
Basic Terms:
Undervolt (UV): An Undervolted Kernel is a Kernel that's supossed to bring in Battery savings. The higher the Undervolt, the better the battery savings. But this isn't with out drawbacks. Some CPU's can't handle higher Undervolts. So you'll have to figure out if your CPU can handle it. This can be done by starting at the highest UV, then see if it causes issues. If so, drop to the next UV (8%, 5%, 2%). If no issues (Like Reboots, Blackouts, etc.) Enjoy the UV.
Overclock (OC): This is simple, it's just making yours phones CPU go faster than it comes stock. Our device has a Qualcomm® 8260 dual core Snapdragon™, 1.5Ghz (But shipped at 1182Mhz). So an OC would be anything higher than a 1.2Ghz (Really 1.5Ghz). With an Adreno 220 GPU.
GPU: A graphics processing unit or GPU (also occasionally called visual processing unit or VPU) is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory in such a way so as to accelerate the building of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display.
For the less geeky, it controlls anything based with graphics.
Icecream Sandwhich (ICS) : Android 4.0.X
Stock Speed 1.2Ghz UV 0%
OC 1.5Ghz/Slightly UV 2%
OC 1.5Ghz/Middle UV 5%
OC 1.5Ghz/Extremely UV 8%
These Kernels are made by tbalden. There to only be used with ICS Roms. There are both OC, and UV Kernels.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505394
[ROM][Feb 19 2012] Pyr'o'Ice ICS Desensed 1.1.0 - Android 4.0.3, AOSPish, 1.5GHz OC
The Kernels are the 3rd post down, and updated when need be.
Gingerbread (GB) : Android 2.3.X
Note: Anybody using any newer Radios, or HBoots. Any kernel that isn't Stock might cause issues. Most GB Kernels where made for the Stock Hboot, and Radio.
How to flash these: Reboot into Recovery. Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, and Mount System. Then Flash Kernel. Wait 10 Minutes (For best results) Then do a regular reboot.
Stock Kernel
This is the Kernel that comes on the Stock Rom. No OC, no added parts. Just how HTC sent it. Use this if you want a super stable Kernel. Or flash a bad Kernel, and can't boot.
Thanks to Undead for making this flashable Zip. (Enjoy your GSII Undead)
http://www.4shared.com/file/ect_yUtz/Stock_Kernel_Undeadk9.html
Romanbb's Kanged Kernel v.0.1
OC to 1.512 GHz
[*]UV across the board
[*]Upgraded to .14 from .10
[*]compiled with Snapdragon optimizations
Theres two of these Kernels. They're both very unstable, and cause a lot of random reboots. They're for use for any Rom based of the Stock Rom.

Stock Kernel with CIFS.ko, Tun.ko, NLS_UTF8.ko.
By Nusferatu
Just a stock kernel with CIFS.ko , TUN.ko , NLS_UTF8.ko built in
Works fine for me except for 1 bug (it's related to cifs i suppose) :
- on samba server rights for folder\files must be 777 or cifs won't allow to execute\view any.

Unity Kernel va1 for Doubleshot.
By the Unity Team
- 2.6.35.14
- 2WCR ( 2-Way Call Records)
- NOOP I/O Sheduler
- SLQB
- OC 1782Mhz (1.8Ghz)
Default Speed 1512Mhz (1.5Ghz)
-JHash3
-Flash disabled @ 10% Battery & 5 Degrees Temp.
-Lower Wi-Fi Voltage
-Wi-Fi PM_Fast in Standby
-Tweaked Governors
-VDD SySFS Interface
-Fixed Scaling Cor_Freq
-GPU OC up to 320Mhz
-X2 Kernel Compression
-Cifs/Tun/UTF8
This is the only Kernel made by a Dev Team.
Heres the Website http://www.virtuousrom.com/
This Kernel is "Stable" any clock speeds above 1080Mhz causes issues, reboots, etc. But IMO this is the best Kernel for any GB Rom. This can be used with MIUI, any Sense 3.0, and Stock Based Rom.
The Download Link for this Rom is Broken, so I'll upload it later tonight.
I'll Upload any Kernel, to any File share site on Request.

Correction - the maximum processor clock speed as recommended by the manufacturer is 1.5 - HTC nerfed it down to 1.2, so saying it's a 1.2 processor is not accurate.
The GPU is the Adreno 220.
I'll toss more tech specs in later.

I know but im not all that interested in Oc, more interested in battery savings. Also I use wifi alot so the unity kernel seems best to me.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk
I forgot to ask if any of these kernels support the latest software version 1.55 with hboot 1.45. And does the unity kernel support these version's?

Best rom for nexus s

hello
what's the best kernel?
what's the best rom ICS for this devise?
Regards
Hard to say which ROM is the best because they all have their pluses and minuses. Same can be said for kernels; each kernel will perform differently according to which ROM you choose. I'd suggest reading through the ROM ops and selecting the one you like based on features and theme. Once you've found a ROM you like, flash several different kernels to find one that is most compatible (also doesn't hurt to read kernel ops as well for feature details). This process, although a little more time consuming, will likely give you better results than relying on the objective opinion of others. Also, bedalas compiled some awesome reference guides on on rom and kernel performance that's a must read for anyone looking to get the most out of their device
You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes
ok i understand your point of view
but
wicth do you recomend ?
kernel and rom ?
I prefer cm9, stock kernel.
plenty of other options though.... get experimenting is the advice, find out for yourself which one you like.
till date, CM9 with stock kernel is smoothest Rom. But it not fastest (based on benchmarking scores).
I am running nuhetri's v 3.0.1 with AirKernel (with voodoo colors), and running awesome!!
CM9 and CNA ROM + matr1x kernel
or
Bugleast Beast + Thalamus kernel

Yep. for me CM9 +trinity kernels or Bugless beast with thalamus kernel
Is this cm9 that is the best rom with matrix kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399035
Running the 4.0.3 OTA on i9020a (with all the fun radio experimentation to make it work) and AirKernel 3.45. Runs beautifully.

I quite liked pixel-rom and cyberg v9 but right now im on nuhetris 3.0.1 because of the battery-life...
I also prefer matr1x kernel! It has the best performance/battery ratio imho!
But as stated before: try for yourself!
sent while eating an ice cream sandwich in the matr1x
I flash roms therefore i am!
As someone mentioned,get experimenting,because you know better than us what suits you the best.Me as flashoholic I tried many and so far for me the best is CM9 and MIUI.Atm I´m running MIUI4 with T132 muenchhausen and it is really great.In the matter of kernel I like Trinity´s T132 muenchhausen and the Matr1x kernels and CM stock ones.CM9 also comes with great kernel which is running pretty smooth.If you like to try GB rom than I would recommend CM7,MIUI 2.3.7c,Oxygen.I runned MIUI with Trinity´s 1,5GHz kernel and it was rocket..But it is on you to decide what suits you the most.Don´t worry and try it is awesome to dicover new roms Happy hunting.

[Q] 3.0.42 kernel

Is there a 3.0.42 kernel for AT&T Skyrocket that works with AOKP roms? The battery life on 3.0.41 seems to suck and I have had the same battery issues with 3.0.41 on another phone, until 3.0.42 kernel came out

does stock AOKP kernel have additional governors like interactivex, smartassv2, lagfree and I/O schedulers? because i'm not a fan of ondemand or any other default JB governors...
impressive

That is pretty sick on a JB ROM, I'm pushing for a typical 8-10 hours but have started changing from the default governor and also running PA, perhaps it is time to test out AOKP.
