Okay, now I built a kernel and shared it, people are asking me to add things.
First up, should I add BLD?
Vote above!
Build it to your standards once done than you can start adding stuff that users may ask and see how it rides out
Agreed. Stability is top priority then start adding little features. I use BLD on Matr1x V22 bfs but I could live without it. I am going to try yours out soon since V1 is out. Congrats.

I do feel a little bit like if hundreds of people are downloading it, then it's become something more than a personal project.... But then, maybe people are intrested by something a little more stripped out?

That's true. It's out there and a lot of people are going to try it. If something is highly requested than you should consider it. This is young still but it is already growing beyond your personal kernel project. Thalamus and others don't always add things just because people like it. Stay true to what you want... Marmite and all

This poll feels like a loaded question...
Actually I find bld one of the more useful features, but I don't know how much extra work it is and how it affects stability. I remember Franco being opposed to it on stability grounds.

Oh yeah, i remember that too. Bld isn't much work to add though. But i want to keep non critical mods to a minimum.
I'd say it'll never end. You'll add BLD, then someone would want this, after some bickering you'll add it and soon as you'll notice, your kernel is going to be bloated same as the others :]
I actually run 0.6, would flash 0.7 or newer if I oc'd or ever used other governors then ondemand , but it's running so perfectly and smooth as CM9 kernel never did + it has MTP, so I don't want to ruin that experience.
Stability comes first & If BLD affects performance por stability-then No..(I dunno about BLD has some side-effects)
You are an expert, Just stick ur principle..
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
These are my two cents:
Most installed ROMs are either AOKP, CM9, RASCREAM.
AOKP offers softkey navigation bar ala Galaxy nexus. Some peeps may like it and therefore may want BLD to cancel off the default nav buttons on our nexus S.
I use a variation of AOKP and turned to morfic kernel because of bld, I personally don't use the softkey mod on the ROM but I use BLD to reduce to only half a second for my nav buttons lights to stay on and use LMT launcher to access my menus (this app is pretty handy since it overlays on the side of your phones making your thumb more efficient and fast).... If you have not heard of this app it is here on xda.
That's basically my main use for BLD and the fact I'm actually saving a little more battery. Imagine the fact I'm browsing the web, reading articles and whatnot for two hours straight (I have) the fact I can disable the lights with BLD may indeed save some more juice to our batteries.

Stick with stability, like others have said. You could always do what TerryHau did with his kernel. Have one with some features and the other with those features and a few others added on. Either way, it's your work, dude. Do what you wanna do!
Bedalus question for you: is bld something that can make a kernel instable?
Others have it and they work just fine.

Well Franco said it made things unstable, but i don't think it would with my kernel. It might have been incompatible with some of Franco's tweaks.
1 vote for yes lol ^_^ for me i just want bld nothing more ^_^

Hello there
I recently purchased a Nexus S, it's soooo good to be on Android, I love it!
So I've played around with some ROMs and I've settled on MIUI, I absolutely love the menu scheme and a few other features.
I've done some reading up on different kernels and ROMs for the Nexus S and I'm finding it hard deciding what to go for.
Of course, I know, it's all down to me, my personal preference and what I use my phone for, but, I was wondering if you guys wouldn't mind suggesting a few things?
I'd like to stick on a MIUI based ROM at least (mainly for the menu scheme), and of course I want what everyone wants; decent battery life, decent performance, nice and solid.
So, what d'you reckon in regard to different kernels and ROM mixes?
Thanks very much for your time, any help is greatly appreciated

well well , i am in the same situation as you are , that don't know which rom and kernel to choose
i was using stock + talon 3.2.1 kernel , it's damn good
i am now using Brainmaster's MIUI , it's good as well , but as we all know , MIUI is kinda like battery killer ... so i need a good kernel to make battery lasts as longer as possible
currently i am using Franco kernel feel little lag , perhaps it's because i may set wrong governor ...
i also heard Lucid and Matrix lasts pretty long battery life , so i am planning using franco for next few days and then flash other kernel to see if it's true.
but one thing for sure , if you wanna have battery last as long as possible , then stock would be your first choice , personal experience more stock = more battery life

Funny you should say that Mathkid! I'm using Matr1x right now, thoroughly impressed with the performance so far! I'll use it over the next week or so and see how I do, but this is promising results already Do you have any recommendations for tweaks or anything I should be setting to coincide with your kernel? I haven't OC'd or anything
Thanks very much for the feedback qtwrk! Good to hear someone else in in the same boat but is doing a bit more about it! I need to be a bit more adventurous
Qt I would go either ondemand, smartassv2, or lazy... for me, lazy seems to offer the best battery life with a retention of snappiness... but you can't go wrong with any of em
Eternal maybe ezekeels mods? Just be careful tho, because deep idle can be a bit of a bugger sometimes....
In addition try using 1.2 or 1.3 ghz
Please feel free to post in the matrix thread if you have any questions!!

Sweet lord.... (for lack of a better term)
This is f****ing amazing!
Using MIUI with Matr1x v9.0 CFS with the lazy governor:
I've been up and had my phone off charge from 5:30am (yes, I know, work is an evil, evil thing) It's now 4:32pm and I'm on 89% battery!?
I may have been at work all day... but that doesn't mean I haven't been using my phone! In fact I was using it nearly all day!
The craziest thing is... I have it OC'd to 1.3GHz, snappy as ever, in fact I don't think I've used a faster phone?
Okay... so there's a little something; I've had data and wifi turned off (I'll just turn 'em on for when I need 'em) and I'm using JuiceDefender Ultimate to help out, but, this proves as a suuuuper nice setup for performance and battery life.
Absolutely astonished, I know it's only been one day, but, if nothing changes, I think I'll be sticking with this as my setup for the foreseeable future
Excellent work Mathkid! I'll be posting screenshots of my future setups to my DeviantArt page: eternalkernel.deviantart.com in the future and I'll be sure to mention my setup and give you praise. People are always curious about the innards of the phone, not just how it looks, so that should help spread the word a bit more about your awesome work.
Thanks again Mathkid, keep it up!
For the best overall performance and battery life, definitely try the Matr1x kernel..
If you want some more battery life, but less performance, try the franco.Kernel
If you still want more battery life, then give Morfic's TEUV kernel a try.
Hello all. Im currently working on an OC tweak for our beloved SGS4G; however, I need a driver made from the kernel. I have researched this a bit, but have found that is far beyond my current capabilities of building such a thing. So, I am asking if there is anyone out there that would be willing to help me with this project?
i would say bhundven since he is a kernel dev and he is experienced.. but as far as i know he is very busy at the moment.
but i guess you can give it a shot
I know he is really busy and didn't want to bother him, but it looks like he may be my only option as the other 2 peeps I know that can do this have dropped off the grid for a little while.

I'd wait for him to implement it to his kernel. It's in his list of things he'll add.
I didn't see that in his list of todo's... but that would be great because we could just use scripts to modify it...
However, i'm trying to figure out how to write a universal script for all kernels... I have a good idea on how to do it, just won't have much of a chance to work on it in the next couple of weeks...

There is a c file in the kernel with all the voltage, clockspeed, and other modifiers, that... again as I said before, I could modify but it would decrease the stability of the kernel, and that doesn't help when you're already trying to debug other problems.
The path you are on for a universal oc/uv script is what tegrek is. Except they have custom kernel modules.
Wait for oc. You will be happy.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
tegrek is one of the major reasons you dont see a oc kernel for the sgs4g its highly customizable you dont have to worry bout the op updateing the kernel you can undervolt overclock etc... Oc kernels are great for phones where this app does not work so well.
I think the title sums it up.

I disagree, do you want to give her some P.O.S. that hardly functions or a piece of gold that will eat the soul of most any phone that comes near it?
Here was my experience on stock:
First problem was vibrate not functioning correctly, second was touch screen being stupidly non-responsive, to the point I couldn't zoom in the browser, third, it was as ugly as some irradiated inbred cannibal.
Give her CM7, with a 1.1GHz battery life kernel and find a suitable theme for it.
appreciate your responses!
Will go ROM based on your answers.
Now it's just matter of finding one that most of all is stable....

I have used that one for a while. Many bugs in my experience. Then pure ported one, still behaved odd.
I think some forum members said that Eaglesblood is rock-solid.
I've been off it since the ICS Alpha, but the Euroskank Nightlies worked great for me. I'd load one, get it set up and play with it and make sure it's running good. I've noticed people making comments about stuff being broken in the newer CM releases, and since the Euroskank's are kangs those features may also be broken.

Yeah, use Eaglesblood 2.3.7 cm based, and use morfic's ELP kernel and use the CM performance settings to set it to 750 mhz and set at boot. Will give amazing stability and speed, plus battery life for days if she's a light user. If she's a heavy user (games, etc...) set it to 1100 mhz.

Whatever you may use, either of the ROMs have their own qualities and defects. But one thing I have noticed: when using Rom Mannager app the battery gets emptied quicker. The difference might be of 2-3hours/day.

I have heard this to be true with Titanium Backup as well; restoring apps makes it drain faster. Who knows if it's really true or not?! but some say that they feel this is the case...
I do it all manually. Takes more time, but I just got to know it's all correct. OCD!
If you use an app like Set CPU you will notice that it automatically adjusts the clock frequency depending on what you're doing. So, if you doing an operation like a huge restore, yea it's going to use some battery.
I tried several ROMs, attempting to get past the lockups, reboots, etc. EaglesBlood's was the most stable that I tried; Weapon's worked well at the start but started into the reboot cycle after about a week. With the EB ROM I rarely had problems.

According to the OP, the torch is supposed to be a working feature. However, I have not been able to get mine to work at all. Was just curious if this was an oversight or something I should correct on my device?
Additionally, I would like to know what a safe and stable OC speed would be for my Inspire 4G.... I'm a bit of a speed-freak but do not want to jeopardise anything.

Are you sure your camera LED's are in good working condition? Speed wise, you can overclock it to almost anything you want. If it is overclocked too much, your phone will just freeze and you might have to format everything to ROM default to get out of it. I think you can go up to 1.2 if I remember correct. I always underclock my ROM so that it saves on battery.
EDIT: I found out that it is an issue with the ROM, follow this thread in DHD, you might need a different kernel.

To be perfectly honest, I haven't tried Codename-- yet-- because I'm already happy with the Nexus Beam ROM.
It has decent WiFi strength & solid battery performance.
I might give the other a try-- if I get bored with Nexus-- but I certainly don't feel like I NEED to do it any time soon.
Codename is prettier than Nexus Beam and also SEEMS faster and smoother, but both are slower than GB. I think whoever programmed ICS put kludge routines in the kernel to induce people to buy faster phones. NOT OUR DEVS! some technicians at Google, I suppose. Hint though -- kernel needs overclocking added.
Notes about 'awake' time between these 2 roms:
Codename build-1 kept 'awake' all the time, Beam pre-final is better, but still on and off for 'awake', longer for 'on' than 'off'. Codename build-2&3 got into deep sleep with no 'awake'. So, in terms of battery performance, recommend to go with Codename build-3, also better than other ics roms.
PS phone condition for the comparison: during the night time, wifi off, data off, airplane mode off.

No - it's apparently so secret that you don't know about it.
I was kidding about running that ROM at the moment, but it was the Froyo ROM I used the most until we finally got the KJ6 drop and the custom roms that came with it. It was so smooth and looked so good, I couldn't get enough of it.
Just wanted to keep this thread alive by saying that after trying out both recent builds of both roms , nexus beam seems to be better with on screen time but tuks rom was better with off screen time. I need someone else to confirm this
