Kernels - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Okay, I have been reading for quite some time about the different kernels and can't decide what to do. I am stock, rooted, and unlocked. I have been playing with Set CPU and can't tell much of a difference regardless of what settings I use. I have alot of screen time on my phone and am more interested in battery savings as opposed to over clocking. I feel this phone is plenty fast under clocked but not saving any battery that I can tell.
I don't want to use a kernel that had the potential to be great later, I want 1 that is good out of the box. I have downloaded clean kernel and trinity but can't find the stock kernel if those don't work out so well. I also read that to use trinity successfully, you need to download an app.
What is everyone's thoughts? Not trying to start anything, just looking for some comparative feedback without cluttering the kernel threads.

I can't help you out with what kernel to pick but here is the stock one
Go to section 6 of this guide.

You don't really need the trinity toolbox to tweak trinity kernel. System tuner works well with all TW kernels I've used.
Overall, all of them are great. May just be a matter of preference. Play and see what you prefer.
That said, my personal preference is for Imoseyon's lean kernel, either v.05 or the newer v.07. Very stable. Have to go to www.rootzwiki.com to get it.
It plays well with synergy, cleanrom, and builtin with beans Rom.

I was wondering about his kernel, I used to use it on my Bolt. I will give it a try, thanks for the info!

No prob.
V0.6 was not battery friendly so I can't recommend that.
Can tweak voltages with v.07. Pretty fun, but did not improve battery life for me. Fun to play with though...
My favorite to date is 0.5. Rock stable and smooth as heck.

Stable rom?

Hi,
I am about to flash my Captivate and looking for a stable roms. any recommendations?
do we have any Gingerbread based roms?
thanks
Perception P8 non-oc/uv version is very stable and works flawlessly for more then a week with very good battery life plus good GPS lock time (20 secs max), HSDPA, very snappy and no problem what so ever. After installation and reboot, Had to rename Swype keyboard app(can download from Perception Thread) to Update.zip and install using Rom manager. Hope this helps.
I suggest the newest i9000 jpx rom that came out over the weekend, its so quick it doesn't even need a lagfix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880859
The most stable ROM that I have found is Cognition 2.3b6. PM me if you cannot find a link. Running it since it came out - no issues whatsoever. If you are looking for stable, stay away from oc/uv ROMs because by definition they are not. Want something even more stable, get Cog 2.1.7 - its Eclair, but rock solid.

I beg to differ. Axura offers the ability to OC/UV but only if the user decides to. I will never preset any OC/UV prior to release. I utilize SetiroN's 1.4.7 which is able to OC to 1200Mhz. I have never had any problems and the users seem pretty happy too.

+1 on this - I didn't even realize the lagfix wasn't applied when I first loaded it With Voodoo applied, it is beautiful.

If you want a clean vanilla rom that's stable I'd definitely recommend Assonance. I've tried them all and assonance is by far the most stable bug free rom

Sorry, I should have made that more clear. I meant that using those features of those ROMs will add instability, not that the ROMs/kernels themselves were unstable even if the OC/UV feature was not used.

[Q] Best Kernel for battery life/stability

Hi I am flashing this phone for a friend and I come from the Samsung Captivate so its fairly similar. Only question I have and I hope someone can help without flaming me is which Kernel would you suggest? Im going with Infused 1.5.2 as the rom and I am just curious what pairs with that best? Thanks in advance.

if you're one of those "set it and forget it" types... i was incredibly pleased with the latest release of gtg's infusion 1.5.2 rom/kernel combo. very responsive, smooth and snappy. by far my favorite of all his releases to date for this phone.
if you're the type that likes to do a bit of fiddling for an ultimately rewarding end result, i recommend installing the above mentioned rom with bedwa's OC/UV kernel. i've had nothing but a smooth and stable experience with the two paired together. nothing but good things to say about both of these. having voodoo lagfix alone makes a huge difference. when you combine that with overclocking you get a device that feels much more awake and ready to perform. undervoltage allows you to use less battery power, even though the cpu is running at a higher frequency. really, makes a HUGE difference. cannot express how pleased i am with these two running together.
*i might also add that i've never installed any of the other roms. i have tried the defuse kernel with BLN was introduced(it has since been removed due to buggy issues).

cool man. no problem. infused rom makes a world of difference in itself.
I've had the best battery life and stability on Infusion 1.5.0
Overclocked to 1.6, with the right undervolting i lost 3% battery over night (9+ hours)
I tried the 1.8 infusion but "OnDemand" stops working and thats my favorite setting so I went back to 1.5.0
I never had good luck with ondemand, along with most other users. Ondemand always FC'd on me

really ticked, need advice..

okay soo i started off loving my tbolt. i ran bamf ginger remix for months without issues. i then changed to aosp and while i prefer it, many bugs and bad battery life are keeping me away.
so i went back to bamf and while i feel at home, i get alot of lag no matter what kernel i use. i need some advice on what to do and what rom is the fastest/lag free with the best kernel combo.
im dying here guys.
as far as setcpu settings i usually use ondemand or interactive no higher than 1228/245.

As far as I can tell, the Ziggy kernel in the latest Gingeritis3D is the smoothest. Might be something newer in the synergy ROM, but I'm getting good battery life and things are nearly lag-free.
I am running OMFGB right now, and while I do prefer AOSP roms, the battery life isn't great. I have an extended battery so the battery life for me isn't an issue.
I agree with the previous post in regards to Gingeritis 3D. I had version VII installed, deleted almost all sense out with Tibu and used ADW EX. It was nice having some sense, lockscreen, pulldown, but that was all I really liked about sense. I oc'd to 1.4 and thought it ran great with excellent battery life.

I haven't messed with uberBAMF yet. I understand it's a work in progess. I'm not sure what kernel it uses, but it might be worth giving a go. I'd love to think it's NOT a Ziggy or Imoseyon kernel just because I think Sense kernels NEED a LOT more attention.
im going to stick to bamf ginger remix until the theory 1.3x rom goes final. the newest ziggy kernel in synergy isn't very good imo, very laggy. i just extracted the gingeritis one and it's a kernel build from july, it's one of the better ziggy kernels. you know, the one from my thread that was removed. ill stick to it for the time being.
i just wish there were more stable aosp roms. no offense to cm7 or the devs, it's just not 100% yet and the battery life is ****, at least for me.

The Ziggy's in Gingeritis3D is different than the Ziggy's in the older Gingeritis. The clock settings and smartass parameters are different. I think part of the reason that Ziggy kernel is as lagy as it is sometimes is because of his smartass governor parameters. I think if they were tweaked to be a little less stingy the phone might be much snappier. As it is, that kernel seems VERY reluctant to creep past 1 GHz, like the load requirement for stepping up is fairly high. I think it's ramp down is just a little too aggressive, and the period of load polling too long as well.

I'm not sure it is. I know that one didn't go up to 2GHz. It's definitely a similar build. The up_threshold on the smartass on that one you extracted seemed even more aggressive than this one. I had issues typing with it if I set the min_freq too low. I run this one at 122MHz without a problem.
Edit: Actually, I'm sure it's not. The one you extracted didn't have the camera fix for the new base Chingy used for beta 6 and 7.

Wouldn't be surprised knowing how he works.
I would recommend trying the uber bamf preview 3. I tested out preview 1 and it was by far the smoothest feeling ROM I've used and it also gave me the greatest battery life I've ever had on my Thunderbolt. They've fixed a few bugs since preview 1 so I'm sure it's even better now. It includes a stock kernel by the way.
You may also want to try the latest nightly Synergy ROM, it's what I'm on now. Performance has been pretty good and battery is okay. I have SetCPU at 1344/245 with lagfree.

Go back to the stock released ROM (rooted, if you prefer to make things easier). That should be the baseline for everything.

stable ICS rom?

Hey guys, I bought myself a Nexus S one month ago and I've flashed about 15 different ICS ROMs. Is it just me or are there almost no stable ICS ROMs? All of them had random reboot issues apart from AOKP and CM9. I had no reboots on AOKP but the clock got stuck every 2nd day, so my phone wouldn't wake me in the morning which is even worse. CM9 I liked a lot, but I couldn't phone in the hands free mode (don't know the propper name of it in english) because the mic wasn't loud enough. Currently I'm on ras cream sandwich and it reboots while i'm listening to music which is really frustrating. Oh and before i forget, I always flashed matr1x kernel and used smartass governor, no OC.
Is there any stable ICS ROM apart from CM9 and AOKP? Or can i fix the other bugs?
Thanks in advance!
Your problem is the kernel, not the rom. My phone also reboots while listening to music in the undervolted matrix kernel. Stay with rascream and flash the _thalamus kernel and see how stable it is. That kernel is really stockish and stable. If you don't want to flash you could try to raise your voltages to stock values in nstools. Some phones like undervolting, some not. ;-)
Verstuurd van mijn Nexus S met Tapatalk
hm I didn't know matrix kernel was undervolted, I thought that's only the case with trinity TEUV kernel by default well I'll try another kernel for the time being and see how that goes.
Yeah. Some of our phones can't handle the voltages mathkids kernel supplies outta the box unfortunately. Either adjust them back to the stock ones or search for another kernel. I prefer either thalamus or Simple Kernel. I just recently flashed the latest version of the former and its great. You can try Air kernel if you want a few more governors and whatnot.

Like.. that's what STOCK is all about.
The people that made the phone are the most interested in making a stable ROM, no compromises.
Most stable and fast rom
Try APEX ROM 1.1.2 (latest release), that's what i'm using until aokp milestone 6 comes out. there is no lag, no reboots (just if u OC too much),...
Slim rom with no tweaks is smooth. Try it and u will not regret it.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G
MIUI roms are very stable these days.

Well it differs from phone to phone. My phone is good with Matrix kernel. Might be one of the best custom kernels to run for my phone if not the best. Matrix isn't a compromise for my phone.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
For several days I'm with Slim ICS and Matr1x and I have no problems with random restarts. No OC and no tweaks!
Try CyberGR ROM
I have installed CyberGR ROM and I have not suffered any reboot. I followed one by one all the steps of the development part and I'm quite happy with it.
Good luck.
Well, if you really want stable, get Stock 4.0.4. I'm on 1100+ hours on uptime without a single reboot... The only thing I've done to the stock 4.0.4 is getting root.
I would also like to know. from my own experience, stock 4.0.4 is best, but can CM9 very be made that stable? I'm running it now with ink kernel and no tweaks and it seems slightly laggy :/ should I flash brainmasters tweak pack?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Bugless Beast hasn't given me any issues. I've rebooted to flash other kernels but the only two kernels that have given consistent performance are Simple(stock with bln) and thalamus. Once I get my new battery, I may see how long I can go without rebooting. But if you want rock solid, go with stock ROM. Hell, my cousin has an EVO 4G and has almost 1200 hours up time. Lol.

AOSP+ definitely belongs to this category. Stock with a few useful modifications.
You should try AOKP again
I know you've already used AOKP but you should try/flash it again. I'm sure that the clocking was freezing because of some flashing issue.
Go to this link and download the milestone-5 version (m5) of AOKP. Also, you should use this rom with matr1x v19.5 cfs.
Milestone means that it's stable, so you shouldn't have problems with it. I use this rom and matr1x 19.5 on my daily device and haven't had any problems nor reboots. Great performance and great battery life too. Besides that, the rom is highly customizable.
Apart from stock, Have you tried BuglessBeast? Very stable. No need to flash any custom kernels.
if ur using ra scream use one of the trinity kernels. its super stable, super smooth, and long battery life
im using this black ice rom, in love with it .. shud try

I searched the internet and apparently I'm not the only one with that problem. I tried AOKP twice (i think build 32 or something and m5), always with matr1x kernel. Could this also be a kernel Issue?
I don't know that much about Android, but what I found out in the past days is that my Nexus S can't handle UV. I also get very high Android OS battery usage sometimes but I don't know why. High meaning Android OS once used more battery than display even though i had 2h screen on time. I suspect it's got something to do with titanium backup not restoring apps correctly, but that's just a stab in the dark.
Currently I'm on Apex v1.1.2 with stock kernel. No random reboots so far. I didn't restore apps via titanium backup (which was a pain in the ass). So far Android OS seems to use way less battery than before. But yesterday I had something like SOD when received a call while using TuneIn, so I had to pull the battery and call back. Not what I call stable.
I know that's a lot of text and probably also a bit OT sometimes but I hope some of you will read it , I'm not really a flashoholic and I'm getting sick and tired of switching roms, but I need my phone to be reliable. I'm really tempted to just switch back to stock ROM with stock kernel at the moment...
the things I'd really like to have is bln, notification toggles and stability.

Synergy or Beans?

I am currently running beans custom stock ROM v5 and I haven't ran synergy yet but I was wondering which ROM was better. Before I get Beans v6 I'd like to have some input on which ROM was better based on battery life/other things.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Well I started with bean R2 when I first rooted. Then tried synergy which my buddy had phenomenal battery life with. I however didn't even though I was running less and theoretically should have had better. I gave it a week but didn't see any improvement. Went back to bean but tried his updated 3.1. Was better than synergy In my opinion as far as battery life goes but had some quarks with it. Next day he came out with V5 so I flashed that. Had worse battery life than 3.1 but better than synergy. Meanwhile my buddy was still getting better battery life with his synergy. I decided to go back to the original R2 I had at first. It is the best performing For ME. I would try each and see what you like better. I was on my the boat all day today (again, currently running R2) and got 84% 12 hours. Keep in mind most of that was minimal use of texts and web browsing. Mist was screen off with with setcpu screen off profile (348). Still was nice to have a full day with it turned on even if screen was off and then still have a full battery to use when I got off the river.
For me...bean R2 for the win. I don't mind wiping and trying a promising ROM but I also like having a solid ROM that gets me what I want/need without having to worry about what the next new thing is.

I'm also using beans r6. Everything seems a lot smoother...but my phone does run hot. He has the default CPU set at 1.9 gighz. Sometimes it doesn't clock down with the app. I'm going to try synergy when they release the new version...but its hard not to like beans.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I used both, beans r5 kept rebooting on me but the battery life seemed better than stock. Then i switched to synergy 1.3 and it is an awesome rom. 4x5 homescreen alone is worth the upgrade from bean, but the battery is just a little less than bean r5. I have no tried r6 but i dont think i will because i just flashed CM10 an hour ago and couldint be happier. I forgot how much i miss stock android JB (used to have galaxy nexus). its a lot smoother and better to use and look at obviously. Only thing i dislike about the rom is the hardware buttons back and menu dont turn off they stay on if the screen is on, but its not that bad. I saw Flash CM10 you will be happy!
CM10 is a half working rom at this point, don't know how anybody uses it as a reliable daily driver, as for clocking on Bean's rom, you can control it yourself, just run the cpu bin from a terminal window, or use rom tools or setcpu
I use beans but I use beans 3.1 before the stupid overclocked kernel and before kexec kernel /recovery

the overclock issue is fixed...beans b6 rocks! actually i never had that issue anyways.
I think I'm going to stick with beans r6 I'm loving the jelly bean theme. If your complaining about battery on beans because of the kernel just under clock it or use power saving, your phone will not run hot and you will get better battery life. If you want a higher clock speed use 1512 or 1674 MHz, you may run a little hotter and your battery may drop a little faster than if you were on power saving though.

I have to disagree strongly with the assertion that CM10 is a "half working rom." If you're not one of the people experiencing data connectivity issues, the current bugs are: bluetooth audio, MMS, camera autofocus with stock camera app (for some), and that native wifi tethering only works unsecured (usb & bluetooth tethering work fine.)
I used it as my daily driver from 7/21 on, and the only thing I personally missed was secure wifi tethering. If the above bugs don't affect things that you use, CM10 is much snappier overall than any of the 4.0 based roms.
I actually decided to try Beans again just to see if I missed any touchwiz features (smart stay, direct dial, etc.)
synergy
I'm currently running synergy v1.3, but i liked v1.2 a lot better. Mainly because the grid size was changed so now widgets look a little weird on my phone =/ but other than that i haven't had a problem. Battery life is insanely good. I used bean's rom when it first came out, got me 50gb of dropbox for free which was awesome. The stock apps weren't on the first build though, that's why i switched over to synergy. I think Bean's rom has them back on though. I suggest trying them both and making backups, they're both very good
Yea Im running Beans v6 just upgraded from either 3 or 2, and yea its wicked fast. I guess with Synergy there are more themes but they should work on Beans too. Anyway it is definitely worth a try just backup beforehand :good:

They are both good. It's a subjective preference and you won't know which you prefer until you try both.

I have to disagree strongly with the assertion that CM10 is a "half working rom." If you're not one of the people experiencing data connectivity issues, the current bugs are: bluetooth audio, MMS, camera autofocus with stock camera app (for some), and that native wifi tethering only works unsecured (usb & bluetooth tethering work fine.)

LOL, all those bugs certainly sound like it is half working (or not working depending on how you look at it).
I tried it for a few days & will definitely agree that's it's way to buggy to be a daily driver at this point.
IMHO, to be a daily driver all the native functions the system came with have to work 100%
Yeah synergy 1.4 is insanely snappy and quick. To a noticeable degree. I love v6 of beans though, but synergy just goes without having to be pushed
But I still use both just to get my flash fix, lol. Beans has more of what I'm looking for (aosp theme) with stock feel.

Just the thread I was looking for! I am currently getting tired of the random bugs with CM10, but I'm wondering if I can just flash Synergy or Beans the way I have been flashing CM10 builds using the Kexec recovery. It looks like Beans does this method, but I just want to confirm before I brick my phone
Synergy
I'm using Synergy atm and I love it so far..... Battery life is amazing....

I am currently running beans custom stock ROM v5 and I haven't ran synergy yet but I was wondering which ROM was better. Before I get Beans v6 I'd like to have some input on which ROM was better based on battery life/other things.

I think both are great RomS. I personally have synergy installed right now because it was just released. There are some things I like about synergy and some things I like about beans. With beans you can flash different kernels without any problems but when I try to flash different kernels on the synergy1.4 I keep getting bootloop. Beans and synergy both seem to be pretty good on batter but I also use CPU sleeper which might also help.

Yeah. 1.4 isn't compatible with custom kernels, I'm waiting for a possible fix until I flash 1.4 just because Imoseyons lean kernel is amazing on this phone. I've gotten a day and a half on a single charge with 4 he's and 29 minutes in screen time..plus I also use CPU sleeper with the lean kernel you can also have your phone speed charge..and I mean really fast compared to stock.
Current~Samsung Galaxy S3 SynergyRom 1.3 & Imo's Lean Kernel v12 Oc'd @ 1.9ghz

Past~Droid X Gummy ICS 1.2
