[Q] which kernel - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

just looking for some personal input from everyone, Which kernel do you all use for your xoom based on performance spped and reliability

Well in my opinion TeamEOS kernels are the best, though I'm a bit bias there since I only have used TeamEOS and no one elses. lol

How can you say its the best if you haven't used any others?
Not disagreeing with you but your post is rather foolish.

Well duh? That's why I said I'm bias... Hahaha, well it does the job good enough.

I've only tried the EOS and CM kernels (included with ROM), but from those two, CM has performed better on my MZ604. Faster, less lock ups and slightly better battery life. Currently OC at 1.2Ghz.

I don't see why not. You'd have to extract the 'zimage' file from the ROM zip and flash that. Use fastboot if you are comfortable with it. If I have time later I will make and post a flashable zip file. In the meantime you could Google how to do that, it is fairly simple.
Regards.

I'd love a flash able .zip
I'll give it a go later anyway, how do I overclock that kernel and what's the most stable Mhz for the Xoom 1....
Thanks in advance

Will that kernel work with a rooted stock 4.1.2? That's what I'm running right now but I can't overclock the CPU or mount the SD card...

Anyone have a flash able zip I could try ?

[Q] What's your favourite ICS ROM?

Hello NS community! I exchanged my Desire for my fiancee's NS and now I'm flash happy.
I intentionally did not ask what the BEST ROM was to avoid a flame war, so please share what you find to be your FAVOURITE ICS flavour.
Until now I tried CyberGR-MOD v1 but it was very unstable for me so I was unimpressed. Next up on the flash list are CM9 Alpha 18 and Peter Alfonso's ROM.
Suggestions?
Peter Alfonso ICS
Thanks, for now I'm running CM9 Alpha18 and seems to be quite stable.
I just flashed bixies' ROM last night and it seems to be very stable so far.
IMO, the real fun with Nexus S is the kernel, we have many great kernels for you to play with

Do tell!
Currently I'm using Matr1x-cfs_v14.0Matr1x-cfs_v14.0. OCed at 1460 and no FCs, no reboots, no freezes, just buttery smooth performance.
Slightly off-topic, but I have to say I'm terribly impressed withe the Nexus S - it's a very powerful device.

It has been feeling very smooth, at least in the few hours I've used it. We'll see how it goes.
AOSP+ and Matrix 14 cfs gives me a great combination of performance and battery life. I tried ICUP too and it gives great performance but battery life is better with Matrix.
So is CM9 smooth and stable enough to be used as my everyday ROM? Also, are there any posts or wikis about all the different kernels, guides on flashing and their pros and cons? My last dev device was a Blade and there weren't nearly as many different kernels and options available for that. Oh, and does CM9 come with a kernel..I don't need to flash anything else?

Yes CM9 comes with it's own kernel. It's a mod on the 3.0.8 kernel. CM9 been running on my phone for 6 days now without a single reboot and FC.

What I normally do is:
* do a full wipe (system, data, cache) if you are flashing a different ROM
* flash ROM first, reboot to make sure it runs properly
* flash kernel, wipe dalvik-cache (or also cache, just in case)
Always flash a ROM that says it supports your phone model. Also make sure that if you're using ICS ROM then flash an ICS kernel. On the other hand, if you're using GB ROM then flash a GB kernel.

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.
Eat at Joe's
Run the stock kernel.

+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):

SimpleKernel
Franco's
Hope this helps!
I don't like the stock kernel either.

Thanks for your suggestions!!! I think I'll try the stock kernels and see how it goes
Sent from my Nexus S
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.

[Q] Custom Kernel

Hi my skyrocket is currently running 4.0.3 ics leaked rom, and I was wondering if i could flash custom kernel on ics rom, or would I have to stock gingerbread to use custom kernel. I just do not want to get bricked etc. Thank you.
It depends on the ROM, if it's SKY ICS or some other modded Samsung rom, then you pretty much have to stick with stock, or do some research because I don't really know what Kernels are available for it. Maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in...
If it's AOSP based (CM9, AOKP, Chimaira, etc), then the only other option I know of is InstigatorX's kernel, which seems to work quite well. Pick a stable version, since the latest has issues with the camera. The stock kernel for CM9 is also quite good, but the CPU governors added in Instigators are great for saving battery.

You can flash cymbaline. Don't try to flash instigator's cm9 kernal you aren't using an aosp rom. Cymbaline fits your deal nicely. You'll dig it.

I also use this kernel and in conjunction with System Tuner for OC/UV.

Best kernel to go with CM10.

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.

These kernels do not work. I think only marmite has a cm10 version. Cm10 did something stupid that breaks other kernels.
Sent from my Nexus S
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?
