[Q] Best Kernel for ICS on G2x?

I've recently flashed to an ICS rom, and I am now trying to figure out what the best kernel is to run with it (I'd really like to see one that maximizes battery life.) If you are running ICS, would you mind please posting what ROM you are using and what Kernel you have along with it. Also, take a second to explain the pros and cons of that Kernel so we may all make more informed decisions as we prepare to potentially flash one...
Thank you kindly!

I would say Faux123 its a good kernel and its good for a good battery life.

Does faux123 support voodoo sound? Also is it compatible with Hellfire?

I believe Hellfire already added faux kernel in the newest rom 1.4 check this thread.

it does appear he did....thanks for that! ...and I'm still up for any other suggestions floating around out there.

Is anyone else getting really choppy video playback with this rom?

Mr. Apocalypse uses Harsh's kernel for Genesis. Owain uses Harsh's kernel for his ICS build. x0xhellx0x uses Faux's kernel for Hellfire Sandwich. I think you can use those as starting point. I like Morfic's Trinity kernel because you can OC to 1560.

Everyone is. NVIDIA has yet to release ICS drivers... so there is sub optimal video on all ICS builds.
We await the official release.

i would recomment the harsh kernel 1505 oc i love it smooth nice battery. i'm against faux it's good in battery and fast, but when you try doing too many stuff it starts hanging

SebastianFM or Faux123 kernal?!

Well I'm a little confused with these kernels, I have tried using both kernels with ARHD and the only one that seems to work correctly is the SebastianFM. The fuax123 kernel just keeps my phones CPU cores both at 1.51ghz, without any intelidemand governors, also, regarding RAM management, which one is the best between the two?
If anyone understands why the fuax123 kernel is acting weird, please clarify cause I'm stumpted,
Thanks a lot!

They are both great kernels I used bricked kernel myself but used to use Sebastian kernel for a long time just try them both for a week see what you like the best

faux shouldn't be forcing both cores online, especially with his newer intellidemand tweaks. You can read his explanation on his thread. Which version of faux are you using? There was also a problem reported by some ARHD users that faux came with ondemand by default when they flashed the ROM. Reflashing the kernel should correct that.
I've used both kernels and both are fine for me, although different phones seem to prefer different kernels. It also depends on your usage pattern. As mike1986. himself says, if you're happy with your kernel, then don't change it.

Im actually having that very same problem of my governor being on "ondemand", how shall I reinstall the kernal, do I download faux's kernal from his forum or reinstalls ARHD and install the kernel given their during the installation process.
Thanks!

You can download the kernel from faux thread...and can flash it just like flashing Rom/any mod.....flashing kernel via Rom will give you the same results again....
Also if you just want to change the govener you can install system tuner to change it to intellidemand governer and apply the changes in system tuner to keep it for every reboot

Thanks for your fast reply!
I'll reinstall that kernal,
I don't want to install system tuner and need to have it always running in the background for the cpu to be in intellidemand, that's why I want the kernel to do it automatically,
but ill try and flash the kernal again,
thank you!

try bricked kernel
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

Bricked Rocks , u should give it a try show-p kernel wid new badass governer

I tryed each kernel, and i had a problem with the first flashing of each one, dunno why!
i had to reflash always twice time, and at the second time everything were good.
i'm now holding Faux kernel, i think is awsome, let have a look at my attachments to see my battery usage with intellidemand..
bricked one is good too, as all the other users told u...TRY'EM ALL!
Lollaz

I have used Sebastian kernel for weeks. Tried also faux. I had my best experience with bricked on ARHD 6.6.3.

Best for sense 3.6 is Faux kernel

Well I've now tried Faux123 for a few days and my battery life has been drained, right now, at day 3 of having faux, I'm at 46% battery with 9 hours and 33 minutes of usage, though with SebastianFM I got like one and a half days, solid, If I was bothered I'd upload a picture showing my phone lasting for 1 day and a few hours with Sebastian. Dunno why but battery life/smooth phone really contradicts itself :/
What's a bricked kernel? I've always been hearing about it but don't entirely understand what it is, sorry but I'm kind of new to this whole kernel thing

[Q] Kernel in AOKP

Hi everyone,I have a sensation xe.
I flash the Bricked's kernel, because the sweep2wake is very cool.But after i flash the kernels into AOKP, everything goes well expect the wifi.I also try RCMix's kernel, and faux's kernel, but same the result.
How could i use the phone without wifi!
I need to flash a kernel for AOKP with a feature like sweep2wake, and the wifi should be work.Can someone help me?
English is not very well, but i try my best to write these

I believe Faux has an AOSP kernel. The ones you tried are Sense based, which is the problem.

I know Faux put Sweep2Wake in his Sense versions. I am spoiled with it as well, you might shoot him a message or post in the thread and ask if a future release for AOSP will have Sweep2Wake.

suggestion, I'm on aokp since build 32...don't use custom kernels, is better with the stock one...more stable...I use it at 1ghz and is ****in' great! no lags at all, even gaming
there is no sweep2wake kernel for aosp at the moment, just wait

There is no "best" kernel because whats best for you might not be best for someone else, its subjective.
Just try a kernel, use it for a few days, if you like it, stick with it else flash a different one

I had the best result with the Sebastian's kernel, but it does not support to sweep2wake to I using Faux 008b8.

I like using bricked kernel. I did have sebastianfm which is also a good choice

When I was using Sebastian kernel, it made my phone very hot when charging it. I have bricked set to on-demand

Looking for my first Kernel. These would not work with JB CM10 builds right?

[Q] unhappy with phone performance

First...
hey, i have latest vipers rom 1.3.5 but fell my phone little laggy and somethimes it freeze and he is working with big lags someone has idea why is that ? my kernel version is 3.0.36 bricked !
Second...
Is it possible to restore my phone like when it was purchased from store, very first android firmware and everything, and if i do that is it gonna work better and is it gonna have better performance

No it wont run better. Have you tried other ROM's?
Beamed from my Senny..

no only ordroid but i am thinking of changing current rom i like HTC sense but i also want to try some other.
is there a chance all this to be becouse of kernel, should i change kernel first

Make a Nandroid backup of your current rom and yes, you could try different kernels, but you could also try different roms. If you like the sense based roms try Elegancia (there are different sense versions) or Android Revolution HD. As far as I know the development of Ordroid is finished so you will not see any update on that but the two other mentioned above are updated and they are really good roms. Try them and as you have the backup of Vipers rom you can always revert back to that.

True give other rom a try. Also try out jelly bean. I'm using paranoid Android by Dragun and it's very fast with newest kernel. I came from viper to paranoid Android and I love it. It's a great rom. Try it out too and see what you think. It's been stable and amazing! Tethering works perfectly with Wi-Fi tether and it's not laggy. I've personally really enjoyed the switch. At first I was worried how stable jelly bean would be but it's proven to be smooth fast and really stable. So while trying out different roms do give this a try I think you will like it.

I installed cm10 by bruce it's very good and smooth but,,, he has performance option in settings and there i can over clock and set frequencies of my cpu.
I was reading about Overclocked Kernel v1.5.2 by SebastianFM and faux kernel that they are realy good and fast. i also want to play 3d games so is it better to keep cm10 stock kernel or instal some of them ???

tamcore kernel works with cm10, but you wont get support from the developer.
this kernel has everything
