What's the best ROM and kernel combination?

I have the nexus s 4G. I'm most worried about speed and battery life!

I think i'll be getting the TUV Trinity kernel... now which rom?

GPA17 with the included kernel. Pete's stuff is always amazing and this is no exception.

heavy games from gameloft where used as test base

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?

idk, it feels sluggish sometimes, even when i find good settings, when i update it kinda goes back to being sluggish. sluggish is good tho. better than stock

What do you mean? What governor r u using? Try changing governors

Having trouble clocking

I am running miui and I have been wanting to clock my phone slightly for some time but no matter what kernel I use my phone crashes soon after I apply settings. It doesn't matter if I am clocking it any where between 1.2 or 1.5. I'm not sure if I am doing things wrong or what is going on. But I would really like to get it working. I will do my best to provide any info you need. please help me!

Some phones just don't like overclocking or underclocking I guess. Can I ask why are you wanting to overclock? I have found that overclocking is overrated. You really will not see much of a difference especially if you are use such a lite rom like cm7 or miui. When I first flashed my first rom I had a slight moment of...idiocy where all I cared about was to see how fast my quad score would go. Just fyi for future, quad scores are all crap they mean nothing lollll.
I got your 10 char right here

I had thought that it was my phone but I the first kennel I got that came with miui months back clocked my phone fine. Before I knew it the kernel was changed and every one I try my phone crashes. I just felt like for the little time before my phone crashes it seems to run everything smoother. Maybe i'm just convincing myself that. I partly wanted to figure out why my phone was crashing and learn something. I guess I can live with it not being clocked

[MOD] Overclock module for the One S/XL (up to 1.9GHz)

Hello!
You probably already heard about the OC module by coolbho3000. It's really nice and most of the credits should go to him.
Last night I was checking the module's code and tweaking it, and today I want to release the changes I've made to it.
Basically, the changes are the following:
- Overclock up to 1.9GHz
- It also supports the following speeds: 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 GHz (with a voltage lower than 1300000uV)
- Code improved a little.
I've attached a ZIP file with the compiled module, a modified thermald.conf, and the source code.
Enjoy it!

How about you post instructions in the OP then?

This is good but you should add a link to original thread.
and like Reviewers said put the instructions in there
look forward to trying it

Does this Undervolt the stock cpu speeds? anyone got a module that only does just that, undervolts with no overclocks. I personally think the phone is snappy enough at the stock speeds and have no desire to overclock. but If i could undervolt it for more batt life at stock speeds i'd be all for it.

How is this working for everyone?

Does this work on all ROMs?

Works fine mostly stable, some apps force close or just don't open at the max freq.

The battery scripts in most of the custom roms out right now already include under clocking scripts, I thought. Noob here though.

underclocking and undervolting are two entirely different things. also I haven't heard of a ROM that underclocks as that would affect performance (read: speed)

The Famous Waninkoko. Nice work with the mod. I hope you tackle other mods for the One S.
And kind of unrelated, but HUGE thanks for all your work on cIOS back in the day.

Unofficial CM9 ROM questions

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.

LEDs and flashes are working fine. Thanks for the oc answer!

Also, I'm still playing with safer speed limits but the difference has made my lead thumbs a little happier. 1420 looked good lol.
As for the torch, I'm too up to my neck with commissioned artwork to reflash so I'll use the lazy fix and use my video flash/LED if I just must have one.

I remember reading somewhere that the inspire can go up to 1.8 but it's not recommended to go more than 1.5
I have mine up to 1.3 working great!

To go back to the thing about Torch, it its working in the 2.0 release and the test 2.4 release as well. I recommend the 2.4, it has better battery life.

Don't oc the 2.3.4 gb stock rom!!

I oc'd it (HTC Glacier) today wayyy earlier to the max OC with my kernel (about 2GHz) and my 245 as the mininum. Governer was the ondemand, and the I/O Sched. was bfq/noop can't remember. So, I was using my phone and decided to run a quadrant, so before the test even started it froze. Like a brick. I looked at the time, and it was 3 minutes behind the current time now. So, I pulled my battery, and tried to boot. It wouldn't. It would have the blinking LED (amber/orange) and like when it was about to boot, the LED would just start over. I call that the "LED Loop". Once I figured what was wrong, I consulted my closest expert, XDA. I cleared the cache, still no dice but it actually booted, and once I unlocked, Rosie crashed and it froze once again. So here is the fix if you think your Glacier has given all hope on you.
1. Grab the same ROM
2. Unplug the phone, pull the battery, and hold POWER for 15 secs.
3. Insert the battery, plug up the phone, then LED Loop should begin.
4. Now hold VOL DWN+POWER together, LED Loop will continue, but don't let it fool you.
5. Then that place where you flash the PD15IMG.zip with the android on the skateboard will show.
6. After the check, go down to Recovery option and select it.
7. If you use 4EXT and go into WIPE screen, and format all partitions (except SD card, unless you want to)
8. Wipe Dalvik
9. Flash that ROM
10. DON'T FLASH ANY CUSTOM KERNELS!!! GIVE YOUR CPU ABOUT A 1 WEEK BREAK BEFORE EVEN FLASHING A NEW KERNEL, WHEN YOU DO, DON'T OVERCLOCK BEYOND 1.5GHz TO BE SAFE!!
That is the revive that I just tried and it worked. If you can't get into that screen. Check this out.. -NiNja.

Moral of the story: [in the words of faux123] not all chipsets are created equal. (Oh and don't oc to the max obviously) I only oc slightly when testing benchmarks and I've really only started testing benchmarks recently because I've been trying to learn some kernel tweaking and sometimes that's the only way you'll physically see a difference (I.e. the effects snappy compression on I/O). Other than that I see no point in benchmarking imo.

Right, but even without a benchmark. There would've been something that would have made it come to the same outcome though...

Also having almost 2ghz between your min and max is asking for trouble. You're gonna get a freeze, period.
You don't check "Set on boot" until you're SURE the settings will work.

I've learned my lesson. At 1.5GHz it will stay, forever.

Even 1.5 ghz is a little much, I would go at 1.3. I personally just keep mine at stock frequency. Also, I didn't read your whole story but when I pushed my phone to 2 ghz and set on boot, ik I was smart back then, all I did was boot into recovery and restore my backup

I have done that to see how I high I could get benchmark scores... yeah not a good idea. I was using one of the earlier aokp roms from Awesome and I had it oc'd to the max. It didn't freeze it just drained my battery like no other. Took me a few days to realize. For what ever reason tge oc stuck. Sad part was that my benchmark scores were about the same lol
