Kernel fickle - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've download a couple of kernels like teuv, matrix, and air kernel. But I keep switching between them because I feel as if none of them are working....can someone suggest good solution?

If your phone is like mine, you might want to make sure that the kernel you use is set for default voltages. Matr1x in particular won't run correctly unless I reset the voltages.
Eat at Joe's

Run the stock kernel.

+1 on mathkid's suggestion. You're phone might be a stock-lover.
I attached the stock ICS kernel here, or you can check out the stockish kernels such as (click for download sites/link):
_thalamus
SimpleKernel
Franco's
Hope this helps!

I don't like the stock kernel either.

trinity t132.. cant go wrong with that one http://goo.gl/q3CnT
well, unless your phone cant handle it. its great at 1.32ghz, and its great running at 1ghz.

Thanks for your suggestions!!! I think I'll try the stock kernels and see how it goes

My phone only likes stock/simple, thalamus, and Pete's kernel. Every other one always gives me issues after a few days. Just stick with stock or modified stock, like thalamus as stated in another post.

Have you tried SimpleKernel by terryhau? Its the stock kernel with Voodoo and BLN added. Seems like a great solution for you.

Why does my Phone reboot during a call?

I am trying to find out why my phone is doing this? Could it be a rom or kernel issue? I am running asop+ 2.2 rom and glados 2.7. Or could it be a radio issue?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
Glados has a problem with rebooting while calling
It's a known issue in GLaDOS thread. However, some users get a lot of reboots, some never get one.
If you want a quick fix then try flashing another kernel.
Thanks any suggestions on kernals? I have had nothing but issues with matr1x and now it seems glados is giving me issues.

Known issues with GLaDOS. If you want to stay with GLaDOS, you can try:
-Up the voltage a bit if you are using liveoc (or disable liveoc)
-Don't overclock at all
-Disable deep idle
Or you could try matr1x again and maybe up the voltage 25mV across the board (except for 100 and 200mhz) as it is underclocked by default which your phone may not like. Otherwise i'd be trying netarchy, eugene's icup or francos kernel.

I'd suggest you start with Eugene's kernel (ICUP) because I have used it for a week without a single reboot
Disable deep idle, fixes most problems.
99 problems but a deep idle ain't one.
I switched to icup and it seems to be doing good. Thanks guys. I never had deep idle enabled so that was not my issue

I'd try to upgrade to ICS or reinstall the ROM. Also check your battery. It it heats abnormally, that might be the issue as well...
Aosp+ 2.2 is ics... but regardless changing kernels fixed the issue.

Quick question about SetCPU

Does SetCPU do any good for my phone if I'm using a stock kernel? Right now, I'm running WeaponG2x with stock kernel.
Also, if I do need a custom kernel to use SetCPU, can someone recommend a good kernel?
Thanks.

You could underclock/undervolt and set profiles, but not overclock. There are only two OTA based kernels for G2x, Dragon or Faux.
Dragon:

Probably the only difference is which one your phone works best with. You should try them both out for a couple of days nd then stick with whichever u like the best.

Kernels what to use and what they do?

Well I'm still fairly new to this and looking to learn a bit more . I am pleased with my current Hellfire 2.1 now I'm looking to exntend my battery life to the best I can and I was told this can be done with kernels, Soo I was hoping I could get some suggestions and anything that could help me out understand this a bit more.
I am currently using some Faux Kernel that came with the current Hellfire phoenix release.
Lot of people say to use Trinity with this Rom but no one says why nor in the xda page of this kernel say much about what it does, I like to be well informed before doing any changes.
also how do you install a kernel just download and install from zip from clockworkmod recovery like everything else? or is there certain steps to it?
First off this should be in the Q&A...

I'm currently testing the trinity kernel, The 1.1ghz one for the better battery. Using hellfire phoenix 2.1 so far its the rom I've enjoyed the most.
Any other kernel that anyone could recommend for the best battery performance I could get I'm pleased with the stock performance of the tegra 2 I have no need for overclocks.
Harsh kernel is the best. Flash it and see for yourself

Morfic's Trinity ELP if your phone can handle it as it varies phone by phone. But I also use Faux123's kernels and they work well enough.

Don't flash it because you're using a GB based ROM...
Harshs kernel is for ICS ROMs...

When choosing a kernel you should first know that they all are, in the most basic sense the same, but have little tweaks that make them all different. I know that the Trinity kernel has the Voodoo sound driver built in that is much better than any other driver. Also when choosing a kernel you need to just try a few and see how stable they are as not all phones are created equal. Some can handle the Trinity kernel and some can't (and same with all others). When you find one that works well with you just stick with it. And, as I like to say, to each his own.

There are two threads/ variations of faux kernels. One is for GB like this one and the other is for cm7 based. Use the other kernel 050b1 i think.

OK, I got it working. I flashed my old favorite Trinity kernel. I really didn't expect it to work, but apparently it does.
The Eaglesblood ICS release 3 came with Trinity Kernel and had UMS support They just updated to Supporting the V21Y baseband. going to try Harsh and see what happens

I running T15-G2x-06022012 with CM7 RC3 OCed to 1400 with out issues
For Faux's 014b2 kernel, which do you recommend when running Kwes' modified stock ROM (v21y)? I see pre-UV and stock voltage versions. I'm leaning towards stock voltage, but is there a major advantage for the pre-UV? (I'm not even really sure what is meant by pre-UV -- pre-under voltage?)
Thanks!
EDIT: pre-UV is pre-under volted. From a little more reading, I found that pre-UV means the kernel has a -50mv UV already. So if using UV/OC tools and apps, you need to take into account that -50mv already.

Best kernel to go with CM10.

I just got this phone, and I'm liking it, is there a better kernel than the stock cm10 one? I plan on listening to music and using core features of the phone. Nothing fancy.
Also, mines a 4g if it makes a difference.

Everyone has their own favorite when it comes to kernels. Ask 5 people and get 5 answers.
MATR1X for stability
AIR for features gov choices (I use AIR cause I like the blue color really gives the LCD a rich deep look)
Marmite good all around people rave about it
Trinity for performance
I'm sure I'm missing some but these are the ones I have flashed
You can't really go wrong just start flashing and see which one fits your usage best.

Only marmite supports cm10 AFAIK, you can't just use any kernel with cm10.
To get cm10 kernel back just wipe cache/dalvik and reflash ROM with gapps,

My apologies, I was in a hurry and did not think the topic was CM10 specific. At the moment other then the CM Kernel I do believe Marmite is the only supported CM kernel and I believe that has stipulations. You can ask the dev bedalus. He is very helpful.
Another question, in the update script is data wiped? Or does it just flash system?
