Kernels - T-Mobile LG G2x

Is there a kernel that will play good with Hellfire Sandwich 1.7 (dirty) and that can be overclocked?

I'm running the latest harsh OC kernel with no problems.. And there's a new faux kernel 050 b1 that's out, I haven't tried it yet tho so can't say how it is..

Nobody can tell you which Kernel will work best for whatever ROM you wish to use it for because even though we have the 'same' phone, they are not all equally built. What may work with amazing battery life and performance to one person, might be terribly sluggish with terrible battery life for the next person. The only real way to tell which ROM+Kernel combo works best for your phone is to try every Kernel you think your phone 'likes'. Whether we all want to admit it or not, that is probably the best way.
Hope this helped, Good luck!

Are there any kernels that work with CM7.2 RC1 that both allow for OC/(UV) and don't completely break the accellerometer?
I have tried Trinity and Faux. I would really like to get back to ridiculous battery life from this extended battery pack.

Is it that difficult to make a new thread? I'm using faux right now and my accelerometer is fine.

Trinity Kernels
I recently installed the Trinity Kernel and I don't really feel like I see a difference in my phone. I feel like my battery has shown no improvement. I installed the ti5 one but maybe I'll try the ELP one instead to see if I get anything different. I'm really looking for longer battery life. I used the phone theses days for about 30min of music a day (subway ride) and browsing here and there. Turned all syncing and app notifications off.
Check out the attached photos. I've seen screenshots of people with bar graphs showing their device at the top way ahead of everyone else.

All ROMS and Kernel work differently on every phone ... some people have problems running Trinity and some people have problems running Ma1trix(I hope i spelt it correctly) anyways i don't mean to offend any of the devs but it depends on phone to phone
My Nexus runs smoothly with Nscollab .41 with TrinityEUV kernel (0.88 GHz) =]
Also Bugless Pete's GPA17 with the stock kernel which is btw Pete's own =]
and finally MIUI with TrinityUV android flavored kernel (1.0 Ghz) =]
to find out which one works best on your device you have to install and check them yourself
Hope i helped
There are no "problems" with Matr1x.
You just need to tweak the voltages and find something that works for you....
As a fresh NS user, I wanted something similar to stock + added notification bar toggle + kernel with BLN & Voodoo sound. Found this combo with TSM Pool party 1.3 ROM, which is based on Pete's work and his kernel. Works excellent:]
CM7 RC1 + T144 or TEUV if I feel like saving battery

Very true, I initially thought my phone doesnt work with matrix, Then i figured how to undervolt my phone and change profiles in set CPU, Now phone works great with matrix.
Really like TEUV though, but found it lagging a bit in high graphics games,.
Yeah Haha, have you tried version 7.5?

There is no best kernel. All the threads asking receive the same answer, that is that it all comes down to personal preference. Try them all and see what you like best.

yow dude! so based on your experience, which kernel do you prefer?
I tried Trinity, drains my battery faster than usual.
I've been using Matr1x, but some people have had issues. That's why I really can't recommend anything other than that you try a few and see what works best for you.
No issues with Matr1x dude...

I didn't say there were anything wrong with the kernel (I wouldn't use it myself if that were my belief) , I simply stated the fact that some people have run into some issues (S.O.D., etc.).

Sleep of Death, phone goes into sleep mode and freezes. Raising the Voltages helps.
I have tried every kernel out there & have had trouble in some form with all of them, except for the Glados Kernel. Rock solid stable, & a nice balance of performance / battery life. Using NStools allows you to get the most out of the kernel. I use it with live OC set at 105, & the lazy governer. This is what works well for me, it may differ for your phone.

Thats a adventure you have to take alone
in all seriousness you gotta try out Trinity =]
Check out the kernels in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283031
The nice thing about it is the availability of the 1320MHz frequency (if needed), yet you can run an undervolted setting most of the time and enjoy great battery life.
Most other kernels seem to be either fast or good on battery, here you get both in one package. Give it a test drive!

I'm using Trinity now with 1.54 OC. It's snappy but drains battery fast.
A millionth time I've seen such a thread, and a millionth time I say the same - "Its your own personal choice..."
Not angry or such but just trying to make a joke...
I'm pretty much happy with the Matr1x Kernel, Netarchy dies on me, GLaDos is pretty good too, Trinity dies on me too...
by the way, MIUI has its own kernel? When you flash MIUI, what kernel do you get in default?
how about CM7?

Whys it all the way up :O i mean OC'd just install TUV and use LiveOC 110 =/
It'll just OC it to about 1110 Mhz + 10% clock increase of the GPU

[Q] Trinity or Faux

Hi
I recently got into the rooting and modding Scene.. and I wanted to flash a new Custom kernal for G2x I know about Faux and Morfic's Trinity kernal .. But couldnt decide between them ... i tried to install trinity when i had a CM7 7.1 stable release but the phone got stuck in a bootloop .. i am now running the latest nightly #217 with stock cm7 kernal .. Could you please reccoment wjich kernal should i Use??
I am mainly looking for Battery life and abilty to play games (Asphalt 6) thats about it.. (right now i have under volted my phone to 760 mhz)
Thanks guys
i run morfics extreme fun edition. its blazing. i have used faux123's kernels before but switched to trinity because it clocks higher and is more stable in my experience. also i like morfics boot animation better.
also with trinity my battery readings can be funky. like i will have wifi hotspot running for 30+mins and still get the same battery reading. but even though the readings are odd in my experience i have gotten more juice out of trinity.
Try em both and decide for yourself. Kernels are easy enough to test. Trinity is working very well for me with CM Nightly. Havent tried Faux, no need to. Trinity is stable and that's what matters to me most. Your mileage may vary though. Check em both out for a few days, and see what works best for you.
thank you guys .. I will try trinity out...
Well, I personally prefer Faux, but on a side note, you're not gonna get that great of a battery life playing games on it.

well iv found that faux gives a slightly better batter life, about a day with heavy use but trinity is MUCH faster with about 4/5 of the day with heavy use

[Q] recommended kernel ?

HI guys
Im currently using MIUI US Rom ver 2.4.6 with stock kernel. can anyone recommend me a fast and stable kernel compatible with this rom?
Will these do the trick?
I've heard only good things about Trinity, but I stopped using MIUI a long time ago, it's pretty outdated at this point.
I personally use the Trinity kernel when running MIUI but some prefer Faux123's kernel. It tends to be you choose which ever one is the most stable for your phone as not all are created equal. The other thing to note is that if you flash the kernel straight from morfic it will cause you to loose the ability to set themes and keep them after a reboot.
I have the modified Trinity Kernels that you can get to try and they both are flashable from CWM and have the theme fixes.
They are both found here >>Trinity Kernel<<
If you want to know the difference between them go to morfics thread and the explanations are there.
thanks for the elaborated explanation and the Trinity builds. but what stability lose am i to experience? i flashed 4 hours ago ELP build and i have no problems with the themes.
You aren't necessarily going to experience stability issues. It is just a possibility you could. If you aren't then you will be fine.
I do suggest that you get setcpu so you can set the clock speed to the 1.1ghz that the kernel wants to default to but the os pushes it down to 1.0. But it is not a nessecity.

The Destroyer
I would use The Destroyer16. I've seen many MIUI G2x's run stable and decent battery life (with a little UV) with this kernel. Plus 1.6ghz max will rip benchmark scores like crazy. Only good for gb 2.3.7 MIUI IMO. You can find it in the huge Trinity thread under g2x development.

dont do this unless you know what your doing. it works on any CM7 based rom, but its very unstable and really only used for testing and benchmarking.

Poll: Trinity vs Faux

Just gauging how many of you are still using Trinity kernel considering it hasn't been updated in months, while Faux is continually working on his kernel.
I've noticed freezing/overheating issues with Faux but I like that it's updated often enough.
Edit: By no means am I putting down Trinity kernel, just interested in the numbers

Trinity has been solid for a long time. My phone works much better with it. No need to update for the sake of updating.
Harsh is far better for.both of my g2x
Sent via G2X-SINGH-UI
On GB:
I prefer Trinity. It's been stable for some time and I can run my G2x for 35+ hours on moderate use. I've used Faux, but somehow I came back to Trinity.
On ICS:
I used Harsh when I was on ICS. But my experience in ICS generally has not been good (LG/NVidia not releasing drivers). So I came back to GB.
I prefer Faux
Trinity works better on my g2x. I think faux is a bit more aggressive, and my phone just acts better with the more conservative kernel.

On stock based 2.3.4 I like the stock kernel or Faux 014b2. On CM7 based I prefer TrinityELP for stability and batt life. I do find since Faux's 050 builds battery seems as good as ELP, and Faux has seemed to make scrolling super smooth. But Faux is still just a bit unstable on my phone. I am currently using the djvoleur adaptation of Harsh for CM7 roms. Its good too. I've had no probs with flashing between any of these kernels other than LED touch keys cannot be set to off when using Faux or Harsh.
I am a fan of all 3 - really...
Trinity ELP for GB
I tried everything out there and always go back to that. Fast, smooth, and good battery life. Plus it seems to be the only one that my phone's bluetooth can stay connected to my car's stereo. with other kernel (maybe coincidence), the two refuse to connect after a few connect/disconnect cycles.
also, many people say 24+ hr of moderate use. Is that with stock battery?
to me, moderate use = 3-4hr screen on time. 1hr phone call. wifi, BT, 4G, GPS always left on. 50% screen brightness. I typically get 12-18hr with trinity.
Heavy would be 5+hr screen on and more
Trinity gives me sleep of death, faux overheats and freezes I'm using the kernel that came with cm7 without any problems. Though I did get the SOD before I installed the build.prop tweaks
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I've always been a big fan of morfic's Trinity ELP kernel (dated Feb. 6th, 2012). Unfortunately I don't see this kernel linked on his old site (just the ones dated in 2011).
faux all the way!!!!
