[Q] I need helpp with kernel??

i want to know which is the best kernel to use on my nexus s

There is no best, try them all out, find out what works best for you.
Follow the leader @corythug

every core has its own strong point and weak point.
our situation may not useful to you , so , you should try them all yourself

Just in case that you want some opinion on a specific kernel, i think you should try the franco.kernel:

It's the one i'm using (with the MIUI ROM) and i love it

Matr1x v11.0!!!!
talkin up my stuff, I know

franco.kernel 13Nov, left it on over the night only 3% battery, then only had to charge it at 23h30 PM cause i was playing backstab to "finish the battery", cause i still had more than 20%
(with BLN on, wifi 70% the day, 3G for 2~3hours only, governor ondemand, 100 - 1000 and medium use)
Ok that i had to reboot it one time due to a freeze, but impressive battery life anyway

Matr1x and Franco Kernel are some great kernel. Unfortunately Franco's kernel gets my nexus stuck in a bootloop with Oxygen 2.3.2 But Oxygen Kernel is not that bad either.

Definitive best kernel/rom combo for battery? NS4g

I use my ns4g pretty heavily so I need a rom and kernel optimized for battery life. I'm looking for 3+ hours screen on time, something the ics roms/kernels I've had havent quite delivered. i dont wanna downgrade to gb, but I'd like to find a good combo of battery life and stability...

try this ics kernel, http://goo.gl/QAuKi its Trinity TEUV(TEI6S). its undervolted, underclocked at 880mhz, and its bus/gpu is overclocked 10% at 220mhz. its fast and great on battery. i use it with cm9, but it should be good with any ics rom

You don't even know lol ive tried and tested that decent battery but I can't live without the mods... solid performance tho

With all the mods, they r all good as well (icup speedy, matr1x, sg-uv etc.). The new franco.kernel is released and it runs very nice. It doesn't have mods yet but the battery life and performance are super. Also like simms said, the barebones trinity kernels are the best in battery life.
I'm running NexusBeam with franco's latest and I got like 25 hours of battery after average use.

TEUV All the way for battery performance

Matr1x v15.0 is out, has all the features and is undervolted.
I get 20-25 hours out of battery with around 4-5 hours screen on time.

Do you think using running CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS with Matr1x 14.5CFS, i could get decent battery life? i'm asking cuz i want to install ROM on Gf's phone, she still running CM7 from when i did last time, but i don't want to put a rom that lacks features. i want one feature rich that will not suck on battery life

I can't get over 2 hours screen on time MAX at all anymore. I'm running Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast GB with GlaDOS 1.12 kernel undervolted to 880 MHz and 20% screen brightness. Even with a new Battery and a full wipe and clean install I still get terrible battery life. Anybody have any ideas? I'm dying here. Is my phone broken?

Best Combination (Kernel + Rom) For Best Battery Life (Q)

Hey guys, atm i use the CocaCola rom and the kernel that comes with it i think is fauxs kernel.
My battery life is pretty harsh and is down to 30% by like 4oclock everyday so i gotta charge it again
I'm just wondering what kernel and rom u guys prefer for the best battery performance
i realize the rom doesn't effect the battery life but just throw out which one u guys prefer

I like the faux kernel but its not really a battery saver unless you underclock and underovolt it seeing as it is overclocked be default. If you use things like bln then the "stockish" kernel has those features. Or you can flash the stock kernel over the rom which will give you good performance/batt seeing as this phone is no slouch by default. I fiddle back and forth.

I under clock mine close to 1000ghz and it still smooth as ice

[Q] SmartarseV2 vs Ondemand Gaming

I am currently Runing "ondemand' OC'ed at 800/1460, noop/ondemand with the CNA 1.4.0 ROM and Matr1x v17.
Just a question, which would be better for gaming? (smooth/better battery). Basically I ran SmartarseV2 and I feel ondemand is better.
The game I used to test was Shadowgun as this game is a heavy duty/performance heavy game.
Any tips or suggestions?

The matrix kernel offers BFS and CFS. I'm pretty sure its CFS I could be wrong about which one it is but... it is made for things like gaming so I'd go with that version of Matrix. You may want to turn down the Min and Max OC. I can play shadow gun with VERY LITTLE/ mostly NO lag whatsoever with my setup and retain a lot more battery.
Try the Lazy, Intellidemand, and even Lulzactive (if you got the right settings) governors. They'll work better than Ondemmand as they do similar things but.... better and they save more battery.
You'll notice changing that 800 (Min) ---> 100 alone will save mass battery. And you don't really need 1460 GHZ lol . That set up is only used to show off how awesome your phone is for like 10 minutes. Or videos and what not. Maybe go for 1300. If matrix supports it use Live OC to 110. You'll get a speed boost without epicly draining your battery.
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
AOKP (Build 25)
Eugene's Kernel (Speedy 7)
OC 800/100 (Lionheart)
Live OC (105)

I think it's bfs that's more suitable for gaming since it targets resources on the app running in the foreground. Cfs is for multitasking; it evenly distributed resources to all running apps. Cfs tends to be more stable of the two.
You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes

Thanks for that mate, just a question, I am using the Air Kernel now. It seems to be a little more stable then matr1x when it come to live oc. What would be the best settings do you use when you live oc? I am liveoc to 110%. basically running at 220/1100. I have not increased the speed. 2ndly i think I will try lazy for gaming. Heard lazy is good. I see you are using Lionheart. is that only for your stanby time for basic phone usage?

I always use conservative for gaming because my phone runs too hot with any other governor

For gaming I think 110 is good. I use Lion heart for everything. Gaming standby music browsing. And my Live OC is 105. I've tried Lazy 1000/200 with Live OC at 110 (so 1100/220) and got really good results too. But yeah UC Lion heart is working nicely. I'm not sure what governors Air Kernel supports because I haven't used it for more than a few hours. I hear its really good but my voodoo colors don't work on it so I'm holding off

If you want the best gaming performance, then use performance mode (your phone might not be able to stay at 1460 on performance though, you should lower it 1200-1300). Just remember to change it back after you've finished gaming.
If you dont want to do it manually, you could set up a tasker profile to automatically change the governor to performance and back to normal, when opening and closing your games.

I think Lazy is not that good for gaming. Lazy is meant to be more battery saving than Ondemand, at the cost of little performance.
I don't play heavy games that much, and I'm just using Conservative, good for me.

[Q] Best rom and kernel combo?

Dear Nexus S users,
I tried alot of roms with my NS i9023 but I still haven't found the best rom + kernel combo..
I wanted to know what you think is the best rom or kernel or even both.
right now I use the latest Pixel Rom with Matr1x 19.0 kernel.
It works great but I still think I can get more out of my NS..
Thanks .

Hmm..im just using bugless beast rom..just satisfy even with stock BB kernel

Bugless Beast or AOKP are the only ones that seem to work for me without any issues. I've stuck with Simple Kernel since it's pretty close to stock and is the only one that hasn't frozen my phone up(my phone is temperamental apparently). . Best bet is to experiment. Not all phones are the same and results vary, as you can clearly see from my phone!

Thanks guys, I'll try the Bugless Beast

Androxide 2.0 with Trinity kernel works great. The kernel comes with a preset color configuration that has made the whites actually look white. And its great performance wise

4+ hours of on-screen use with the settings in my signature.
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
GummyNex (4.0.4 - 102)
Matrix Kernel (CFS - 19.0)
Lionheart tweak (1000/100)
Deep Idle (Off - Noop)

So far oxygen with teuv for battery.
Anyone have good rom/kernel suggestions for battery life?

Using aokp and air kernels.

I'm now on the new rascream sandwich, with Eugene's Sppedy-7, and am loving the combo so far. Cheers!

cybergr v11 with weekly air kernel 4.0

HI guys, IMHO, best combo-duration is Androxide 2.0 - Matrix 19.0 (LIVE OC, DEEP IDLE ON).

I love matr1x kernel...but get some laggy when playing temple run...
will switch back to matr1x after reach 10 million for temple run..haha..
anyway franco kernel is damn fast..
150 hours without reboot dan still fast no lag...
