[Q] Comparable kernel (skyrocket noob here) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hey peeps. Needing some help. My buddy moved to California and I rooted his phone about 6 months ago. It has an old version of AOKP if I remember correctly. I'm going to walk him through flashing the new ma7 radio and embryo 6 rom. As I am not familiar with his phone as much, is there a kernel similar to Perseus (a Note 2 and GS3 kernel)? He is having lots of weird phone issues that I think are a combo of him not familiar with AOKP and a buggy rom. I want to get him back to a TW with power, speed, and battery. From what I could tell the uxma7 radio and embryo 6 would do it. Just looking for a kernel recommendation since I won't be around the phone.
Thanks.

for embryo you need a TW based kernel. so stock TW kernel or mohan's Cymbaline kernel are what your looking for.

See the Embryo ROM 6.6 (the newest one) ... Download that , copy it to phone sd card and flash it (see the instructions there in the thread) .. Don't mess with kernels , the embryo rom already has what works with it ...

mohan made the cymballine kernel from TW source kernel to work with his embryo rom. i definitely would check it out. tweaked kernels are just as awesome as the custom roms themselves.

Thanks for the help! I got him up and running. His phone is running a lot better now along with better battery. I set him up on the pegasusq governor and stock clock speeds. It'll take him a bit to get use to TW again though.

[Q] Kernel Help? (2.6.35.7-g8f2a88c-dirty)

Hey guys!
I recently got a Rogers captivate (I896) and have been playing around with it lately... Currently it is running CM7... I followed these steps to put Cyanogenmod on my phone (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide) I've been reading up on kernels, and am pretty interested in changing the kernel... But when I checked the kernel, i had a kernel named 2.6.35.7-g8f2a88c-dirty [email protected] #1... I did some searches but it came up empty... What is this kernel?
I've been looking at Glitch, hoping that it would improve battery life...
Thanks for helping me identify!

With a few quick searches it seems that that kernel is the one that CyanogenMod uses as the stock kernel, I don't have CM7 on mine but take a look in the dev forums and you can see other kernels and read a little about the differences. Then choose the best one for you. And if it turns out it isn't the best one for you flash another.

KK, thanks... I was wondering why it was like that... Does installing roms influence kernels? It shouldn't right? When I followed the instructions it said I was installing the SpeedMod kernel...
Well, thanks for your help! Now I need to look for a different kernel... My battery life is only around a day, if i let it idle.... Thanks again!

Your welcome and hit the thanks button. As to your other question most roms will come with their custom kernel cooked in some will use the stock kernel but almost all roms will change your kernel when you flash something new. Kernels and roms are completely different things but you can't flash a ROM without a kernel. But you can flash a new kernel without flashing a new rom. Just make sure that you read read read. So that you don't end up bricking your phone.

[Q] Suggestion for new ROM for Nexus S

Currently running MIUI 1.99 with Matr1x #5 kernel. Looking to flash a new ROM and/or kernel as it's been awhile. There's so many of each that I don't know where to start. My main priorities are stability and speed.
The only other ROM I've used is Cyanogenmod but I had a lot of issues with random reboots. Have these issues gotten better?
Any ROM suggestions? Thanks
Rooted stock with Matr1x. I recently switched back after months on CM7 doing the nightly flash routine. Don't miss it a single bit.

I don't even remember what the stock rom is like. I got cyanogen almost inmediately after getting my phone. Perhaps I'll try stock... what's the best way to go about doing this? Do i need to unroot my phone?

backup apps with titanium backup + factory reset (wipe data/cache/dalvik) + flash stock rom.
here you can find a great collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
you DO loose root by flashing a stock rom, but you just have to re-flash superuser (and maybe cwm if needed). I find the stock gingerbread rom very fast and reliable.
Plus, you'll receive the ICS ota when it's ready
(but you'll need to flash the stock recovery)
Wait another 2-3 weeks and flash ice cream sandwich.

Flash deck 1.3. Really fast stable and great battery life. Its just like stock rom with a few extra tweaks. Has some of cm7 mods without the bloat. Has toggle switches on the drop down and some status bar tweaks but very stable and like I said its close to stock. Running it with matrix 9.0. Give it try.

Sorry man its in the nexus s 4g dev section but i cant find it on the GSM dev section. You can always try oxygen rom which is very similar to deck which I was running before I flashed deck. Has the same kind of tweaks more or less. Was also a really good rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285243
give carbon a shot. it's based on oxygen but gives better performance than any rom i've used since getting this phone

I'd suggest NSCollab and a trinity kernel. This combo worked well for me but I caught the flashing bug since getting this Nexus S and now I'm off to try Nexus MV.
you should try superosr rom (AOSP), very fast and include CM settings as well
I've been trying all NS Roms, and I'll prefer NSCollab because,
-Fast and stable (Near 5000 in quadrant)
-Never had a random reboot
-Extremely stable at 1,2GHz
-Probably the best CM7-based ROM
I don't give a opinion about which kernel u need to use, because they are all awesome, for the highest score in Quadrant, use the Trinity TUV kernel.
But I like the Netarchy or Matr1x kernel more because they are more stable in my eyes. I hope this will give you some more information
U can also wait for ICS (IceCream Sandwich), it will be awesome too.
I'd suggest stock rom + stock kernel.
lower quadrant score but higher performance
Oxygen 2.3 with Matr1x
4097 quadrant at 1,3Ghz.
*UPDATE*
Try the Franco.Kernel, tested it, very stable and high performance.
Greets.
Matr1x all the way bud lmao

any idea with i am stuck at google logo after flash GlaDOS with brainmaster's MIUI ?

yes , i did reply in GlaDOS's post , but looks like i've been ignored ...so i have to post here see if anyone could help me with it ...
i was using FRANCO kernel , and then flash GlaDOS both BFS and CFS and 2.2 and 2.3 version , all stcuk , fine , first of all i figure it could be problem due to residual file of FRANCO kernel
ok , then i just flash whole new MIUI ROM with everthing wipe and then flash GlaDOS , but still stuck ...
any idea ?
thanks in advance...
and Merry Christmas to all
Which version of the ROM and kernel?
If you flashed ICS ROM, then it should be OK to flash GLaDOS 2.x. But if you flashed GB ROM you cannot flash the current GLaDOS kernel.
................kidding me ???
i throught there is GlaDOS for 2.3.X ROM ???
You can't flash a ICS kernel on Miui gingerbread base rom, its gonna get stuck. You need to flash an ICS kernel on a miui ics base rom or whatever ics rom your gonna use.
Try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397393
Good Luck !
Wow, so you really flashed an ICS kernel with a GB rom??
Best practices for modding your phone:
1) ALWAYS backup your existing setup before flashing something new.
2) Read, research, read again about what you are doing before you do it. The last thing you want to deal with is a truly bricked phone, especially since it can almost always be avoided.
Not trying to come off as a prick - just trying to save you from a lot of unnecessary grief.

Nope
There is GLaDOS for GB, the latest version is 1.12, which is not in the OP anymore, but you can find it somewhere in that thread.
well yes ics kernel to gb rom, this is kinda embarrassing, i saw other kernel has 2 separated threads or 2 versions so i thought same to glados ....
and thanks for concern and advise, my phone wasn't bricked, I am still able to enter recovery or fastboot, once get there I can pretty much deal with most problem I have encountered

MIUI Users: I have a couple questions before updating to the latest

I'm currently running MIUIus 2.1.20-EN-Pyramid
Kernel 2.6.35.13 Trinity
Firmware 1.45.401.2
Recovery v2.2.7 RC3
So far I've been pretty stoked on this ROM (ARHD is the only other one I've tried but I'm sick of that interface). Here' s some questions I have before rushing out and flashing the new build:
Is the 2.2.3 build really much better than the 2.1.20?
Do I have to superwipe from recovery before flashing?
Is the 3.12 Firmware manditory for this new rom or just recomended?
I'm reading that people are having better luck with the Trinity kernel wich is what I've got installed (installed when I first flashed MIUI). Do I need to find a newer version than the one listed above?
I'm reluctant to update because I've got the phone totally dialed right now. Titanium backup has never been very reliable for me and I hate to loose my themes and settings. How can I retain all this info?
Thanks
For me, it seems faster. Better battery life. Flash this from, then flash the Trinity miui kernel for more stableness

Need Kernel for Note i717 ICS 4.04

I recently went back to the Stock 4.0.4 Rom after trying out the new 4.1.2.
I find it to be a little unstable and it drains battery life.
I still have the downloaded copy of Padawan 5.1.
But i cannot find the Kernel i installed along with it. I do not remember the name of the kernel, but it was on the Padawan download page. That page is no longer available. Can someone post a link to a Kernel that will allow me to overclock at around 1.82 that is stable.
Thank you.

Let me check on my pc, I think I still have the download in my folder. I'll get back...
Actually I think that build had the oc kernal already installed. After you flash the rom, just download setcpu or whatever overclocking app you so choose and you should be able to overclock @ 1.89Mhz (or whatever the max is)
I think that was a UCLF6 build. Check out this website... rootgalaxynote.com I think there is the v6 and v8 and maybe even v9 ICS builds.
