[Q] KERNEL alternatives for JB - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hi!
We have 3 different kernels for JB now:
- h0tcakez
- king kangers
- instigatorX
What kernel is better with SKYJB together:
- for battery life (uv) and stability?
- for speed?
Thanks for your opinion!

This is a bad question to ask. Here's why:
People have differing opinions. They are true to their opinion and will defend them.
Upon defending them. One of two things will happen:
There will be agreement that yes each item that an opinion has been formed upon has equal merit and therefore they are all good.
There will be disrespect shown towards others who do not share the same opinion.
In either case, you will not get an answer and it won't help.
My suggestion to you is try them all, there isn't that many of them to begin with. You can test them all within a week.

InvestigatorX's kernel is unfortunately outdated. So that's one down
DAG's is good if u want kernel options, but since u are asking this question u may not be able to fully utilize them
Flapjaxx kernel is closer to stock with just a few tweaks including uv / oc
for ur purposes I recommend the last one

my liquid RC5 is old than oct 14th, so i can not flash the last two kernels. my question is does the h0tcakez---Flapjaxx kernel support extra govnor like badass ?? i read the op and it says only standard govnors.

Harsh kernel is the best kernel?

ok i have been using harsh kernel with aokp rom for about a week and i have had the greatest battery improvement. I literally get about with music playing throughout the day, constant texting, some calls, and some games; I get about a day and a half of battery and sometimes more. Idk if its just me but I was wondering is anybody else getting better results or the same results is there something better then what I got? Does the hellfire 1.6 have better battery or better performance then the aokp?
No one ROM or kernel is the best. They are all different and good in their own ways. If you're curious about if another ROM is better for you, the best way to find out is by flashing it. If your asking me, the best kernel for me is a custom built from source version of harsh without the overclocking and with done of nordics scripts and optimizations built in. I also love aokp build 29.
Now the next 20 posts can be 20 different roms and kernels just like every single other thread just like this one.

Hey sorry to bother u but its bugging me. When u say Nordic did u meant morfic (not being sarcastic ) and if so how do u get his scripts us harshs kernel. Do you flash his kernel then harshes after without wiping?

lol yeah morfic's (autocorrect is going to destroy this country) i build most of what i use from their sources, and i frequently mix and match things. its just something i do for myself. while i could release it out for people, not many would want to use what i have. i add alot of broken and ugly things to system apps. i even remove entire parts of the framework sometimes because i dont use them.
if you just want the best of both worlds (speaking of harsh and morfic's kernels) you can just flash morfic's then flash harsh's and you will get some of morfic's IO settings to stay behind.
im double posting on purpose, harsh has stated that people should not be flashing his kernel over morfic's
so im gonna retract my last post. if you want improvements, your gonna have to wait till he implements them.

Sorry to hijack the thread but you should think of releasing to the public, most developers develop for themselves anyways so yours would not be any different. All your posts that ive seen are always really helpful, i hate this 8 thanks a day limit.

honestly im thinking about it. i want to get a good server tower that i can keep running and have it do a build bot (right now my Compiler is running off of an external hard drive hooked up to an old laptop)
once i get the server up and running i might give it a shot.
I have no clue what that is but I support you all the way

battery life
That sounds pretty good, batter-life wise.
I get through the day with moderate use... but when I am using it a lot, I am in the red by dinner time on HFS 1.6 with Faux kernel.
However, when i ran the Harsh kernel in HFS 1.5.. I had some real connectivity problems... I almost went back to 1.4, but then 1.6 came out and ruled.
If you are getting that good of batt life and no other problems- I would stick with it

What's the best kernel for cm9

I using cm9 and I wanna know what's the most stable kernel for it?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
i definitely recommend Matr1x 19.5
http://matr1xkernels.com/matr1x-kernels/matr1x-kernel-for-nexus-s-and-nexus-s-4g-ics/
I think the air kernel is more stable.
wow thats the first time ive heard that lol. if its so stable then why does he have to issue so many "fixes" and "patches" or whatever to get stuff to work right? Matr1x works right the first time. matr1x is way, WAY more proven, and in the general consensus also more stable.
CM9 kernel is good enough.
Matr1x....

each phone is different and handles voltages and OC different so for you or anyone to say one kernel for a rom is better than another is completely idiotic, the best kernel for cm9 is the cm9 kernel unless u need performance in a certain area, thats where custom kernels can be better, reading the threads would tell you this so look who is the idiot now nub...
air kernel gets updated more than matrix so you really have no argument there...
air kernel gets updated more bc of all of the "fixes" and the develper's work is mostly copied from the work of other more talented people. and the OP here asked a question and we answered. your right that each phone is different. but i didnt see you take issue with the person who said that air kernel is more stable, or that cm9 kernel is good enough. they both also stated their opinions without the caveat which we all should know already, that each phone is different and the kernel that is best for one person is not necessarily best for another and that it really depends on your usage and customization preferences we should all know that by now. the OP just asked which was better and I think Matr1x is better. so now what

[Q] stock rom vs custom rom

good morning,
i'm quite new on this phone even if It works fine for me with a stock rom 4.0.4 I would you like to understand if there is a good advantage to pass on a custom rom.
Please share with me your experience and answer with my few questions:
what kind of custom rom and kermel you have on?
which is the difference there is in term of battery life; performance; stability.
Thanks for your help
Welcome to the Nexus ... you're going to love this phone. With that said, you need to jump in and do some reading. There is no shortage of opinion on which rom, kernel, or even GB vs ICS ... is best. It very much depends on your likes, dislikes, etc. I assume that you have a gsm device, so make sure to flash the appropriate roms, kernels, etc. Lastly, there is lots of help available, but it's always best if you dig in and bring yourself up to speed with what's already been posted in these great forums. Good luck!

thanks mate,
after few weeks i tested it, i find this phone a very good one and I don't feel the need to jump in a custom rom. I rooted it, installed a busybox and the clockwork and I added some apps to eliminate some gaps like the missing notification when the screen is off (I installed the noled apk for it) or like a switch off or switch on of the screen using the power button (I used an apps called accendi scermo and I switch on and off the screen using the phone sensor). The only thing that miss on this phone is an fm radio offline. I'm still searching a solution.
Stock rom: more stable, less features
Custom rom: less stable, more features
Well if you want to be normal. Than good for you.
Now a custom rom and kernel can give you unlimited privilages to things you can never imagine possible. Undervolting your device to give you brain blowing battery life or over clocking to give you awesome graphics.
A custom rom like CM9 or AOKP (there are way more than two but im just listing the popular ones) is of course better than stock since... well if it wasnt why would they make it. A kernel links your hardware to your software, meaning you can do some tweaking in the middle. If you find the right kernel and rom mix you can have a wopping 15 days standby on your battery (eg CM9 and Matr1x Kernel).
Now thats just the basics. if you are interested and want more information. Just do a bit of research and reading in this forum and ask questions in those forums. Hope this helps.
ics 4.0.4 stock+ simple or thalamus kernel
Or Bugless Beast with one of those kernels

What is your preference for Jelly Bean Kernel

So I have not much time to experiment with Kernels rights now. I have tried thomas.rains and Dagr8's kernel.
From people's experience. Which of the three Kernels (I forgot to mention flapjaxx) do you think gives better battery life in idle state and screen on state? I know on Dagr8 in Badass governor, I have been getting 18 hours with medium use and 20% battery remaining. I just flashed thomas.raines kernel today, so I will test out the battery performance with my daily use.

I've recently started using the Lightning Zap! kernel as part of the Nibbles ROM. It doesn't have as many governor choices as some other kernels, but I've found it thus far to be solid and with fantastic battery performance.

That's great. I help others can get back. How did it compare with other kernels?
Edit** I realized how vague this questions was. In terms of performance and battery life, do you think it is better?
I know each kernel has it's strength and weakness, but just strictly in terms that I will not overclock and I want the best battery life and best performance, which kernel do you think give the whole package?
In also installed Nibble a couple of days ago, two kernel options, can't remember the exact name of the kernel I chose, it had a Zap in it, and it was version 3.
I had used Sean's on ICS, and was going to go to Sean's JB, but I started reading threads and liked what I read about this ROM.
It is the most stable ROM I've ever installed, and with the clock slowed down to 1,026, conservative governor and other power tweaks, I'm getting the best battery life I've ever gotten on any rom on this phone.
Very Very pleased. Install and donate!

In my experience the kernel doesn't make THAT much difference with battery life. I manage mine through controlling what's allowed to sync, disabling refresh in social apps, etc. The Lightning Zap kernel does a good balance of perf/batt without any need to tweak anything, but you can always try the KO kernel instead and tweak the governors, etc to your heart's content.

What kernel do you use?

I need help.
I'm a flash-a-holic.
I'm afraid I can not stay on one ROM for longer then a week. ( as there are constant updates)
I have flashed multiple kernels and I never can really tell the difference.
I want to find a great kernel that keeps battery as first priority.
So I was wondering what kernel you use and why.
Edit: it would also be nice if you guys could link the thread of the kernel to your comment so I can further look into it
Thanks for your input in advance guys

yep I'm same way, I play around with the custom kernels, and the devs do an amazing job with them, but for me personally, I don't overclock, or underclock, and have never played with voltages, so I run stock kernel and it rocks for me, 5 hour screen on time running TW CleanROM
Great question, with so many different kernels released all the time it's tough to keep track. I'll definitely follow this thread though
I recently flashed lean kernel 1.7 and it seems like one of the better battery savers. I've tried a couple stock ones as well as Galaxy KOR 2.6. (All of them have been TW kernels btw)

i use lean kernel. most the time with my clean rom.
i have been on galaxy kor but noticed nothing special.
currently i am trying out ziggy and it is nothing to brag about.
dont get me wrong though. i deeply appriciate the hours of work the devs put into all there work. and with the greatest respect. i thank them for all the hard labor.
Ziggy kernel is beastly on battery with SynergyROM. This is standard battery life for me (stock battery):
