Best kernel to go with CM10. - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got this phone, and I'm liking it, is there a better kernel than the stock cm10 one? I plan on listening to music and using core features of the phone. Nothing fancy.
Also, mines a 4g if it makes a difference.

Try Marmite, Trinity, or Matrix
I personally use Marmite.

These kernels do not work. I think only marmite has a cm10 version. Cm10 did something stupid that breaks other kernels.

Everyone has their own favorite when it comes to kernels. Ask 5 people and get 5 answers.
MATR1X for stability
AIR for features gov choices (I use AIR cause I like the blue color really gives the LCD a rich deep look)
Marmite good all around people rave about it
Trinity for performance
I'm sure I'm missing some but these are the ones I have flashed
You can't really go wrong just start flashing and see which one fits your usage best.

Trinity didn't Sitwell with cm10, marmite did however. No biggie. Works fine. Although the. "Stock one" had the color tweaks, likened that.

Marmite supports voodoo, which are the color tweaks that cm10 stole. App can be found in play store "voodoo sound" and is for amoled screens.

Only marmite supports cm10 AFAIK, you can't just use any kernel with cm10.
To get cm10 kernel back just wipe cache/dalvik and reflash ROM with gapps,

My apologies, I was in a hurry and did not think the topic was CM10 specific. At the moment other then the CM Kernel I do believe Marmite is the only supported CM kernel and I believe that has stipulations. You can ask the dev bedalus. He is very helpful.

Another question, in the update script is data wiped? Or does it just flash system?

Quick question about SetCPU

Does SetCPU do any good for my phone if I'm using a stock kernel? Right now, I'm running WeaponG2x with stock kernel.
Also, if I do need a custom kernel to use SetCPU, can someone recommend a good kernel?
Thanks.

You could underclock/undervolt and set profiles, but not overclock. There are only two OTA based kernels for G2x, Dragon or Faux.
Dragon:

Probably the only difference is which one your phone works best with. You should try them both out for a couple of days nd then stick with whichever u like the best.

Kernel fickle

I've download a couple of kernels like teuv, matrix, and air kernel. But I keep switching between them because I feel as if none of them are working....can someone suggest good solution?
Sent from my Nexus S
If your phone is like mine, you might want to make sure that the kernel you use is set for default voltages. Matr1x in particular won't run correctly unless I reset the voltages.

+1 on mathkid's suggestion. You're phone might be a stock-lover.
I attached the stock ICS kernel here, or you can check out the stockish kernels such as (click for download sites/link):

My phone only likes stock/simple, thalamus, and Pete's kernel. Every other one always gives me issues after a few days. Just stick with stock or modified stock, like thalamus as stated in another post.
Have you tried SimpleKernel by terryhau? Its the stock kernel with Voodoo and BLN added. Seems like a great solution for you.

There are two threads/ variations of faux kernels. One is for GB like this one and the other is for cm7 based. Use the other kernel 050b1 i think.

OK, I got it working. I flashed my old favorite Trinity kernel. I really didn't expect it to work, but apparently it does.
The Eaglesblood ICS release 3 came with Trinity Kernel and had UMS support They just updated to Supporting the V21Y baseband. going to try Harsh and see what happens

I running T15-G2x-06022012 with CM7 RC3 OCed to 1400 with out issues
For Faux's 014b2 kernel, which do you recommend when running Kwes' modified stock ROM (v21y)? I see pre-UV and stock voltage versions. I'm leaning towards stock voltage, but is there a major advantage for the pre-UV? (I'm not even really sure what is meant by pre-UV -- pre-under voltage?)
Thanks!
EDIT: pre-UV is pre-under volted. From a little more reading, I found that pre-UV means the kernel has a -50mv UV already. So if using UV/OC tools and apps, you need to take into account that -50mv already.

Holy cows. Shadowgun dead zone is running so smooth on shadowrom ICS with this tweak. Look at my antutu. And I used stock kernel
combination of aokp jb alpha 2 and castagnait 7.3
vm.vfs_cache_pressure is 20 (seems to interfere with some other tweaks)

You need to remove all tweaks in system/ etc/ init.d except for the two stock ones. You also have to install busy box.
didn't have busybox. now i do. but still the same.
in init.d there were only the two stock ones.
What about cm10 has anyone tested it?
I have no idea what kind of magic does it use, but it really made games smoother. I'm impressed.

Are you using castagnit kernel? You have to use stock kernel. If it still lags then read the thread again for instructions

I assume that it works on any 2.x kernel.

[Q] Which Kernel on 4.2.1?

I recently installed a 4.2.1 Rom (currently xylon, but I want to try every of them). Which kernels are compatible?
I used Air Kernel on 4.1.1 and I really loved it, but seems it does not work on 4.2.
thank you
Try marmite it works like a charm on 4.2.1
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Marmite is the only one that works? Cause it has only 3 governors (I remember ondemand smartass and performance). I loved other kernels also because of their variety of governors.
Matr1x works as well.

Not sure why Marmite turned redish pinkish on you. It has fixed colors. Try Matr1x. It has stock colors unless you wanna change them.

maybe because there are many different versions of the marmite kernel. So i was wondering if there's one with fixed stock colors.
Does Matr1x work well with 4.2.1 ROMs?
