Intrigued by 1.92 oc. Which kernel/rom combo is best for that support?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
To be honest its not advisable to get to 1.92. Too unstable and performance gains over 1.4 are minimal. If you want fast, run perfect storm 1.4 with ziggys kernel oc to 1.4. Gingerbread roms are nice but unstable and the accompanying radio is horrendous. Finally the gb kernels are not good yet since the source has not dropped.

Thanks! I waited for the lg revolution and that thing is a total bust. Excited!

I personally like Imoseyon's kernels best. Lots of good ROMs available. Play with your options and see what suits you best.
Is the Netflix app available for non gingerbread roms?

I don't believe so. If you're asking because of the radio issue, check out CM7. It's Gingerbread and has a working Netflix but without the brick risk.

Aren't there inoperable features in that though? And will any oc gb kernel work with it?

It's not prefect, but no rom is. The main problems are:
1) toggling from wifi to mobile data requires a reboot, although there are reports that this has been fixed
2) some people experience buggy data connections while many do not
Not any kernel will work but Imoseyon's does and is quite good (arguably better than on Sense roms). There are others as well.
While it's pushed as pre-alpha, it's plenty stable enough to run as a daily driver. Many people do. I would rather run it than a Sense 2.1 rom.

Agreed. I hate sense overall, but love the dev support on htc. Thanks for the responses man. Appreciate it.

I've been using CM7 for about a week now, there was an update on Saturday that fixed the wi-fi and data connections work fine. Only problem I noticed was going into an "Extended Network" area caused 3G to drop, but if you enable international data roaming it connects back to 3G.

Are we going to see the new 3.0 kernel being implemented on our phones any time soon? Any benefits to this?
Thanks!
The 3.0 kernel is just a renumbering scheme. It was going to be 2.6.40 originally. No major changes.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
No point, there's not much changed that would affect our devices in any meaningful way. Also this would have been 2.6.40.0 or 2.6.40.1 (not sure). I find Linux kernels are not stable enough until they reach the ~20th release. Each new release usually comes with loads of regression bugs
I understand it was supposed to be a different version but besides that point I wasn't sure if it was any faster for us.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
3.0 has absolutely nothing major to add, see Linus' post here:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTUwMg
I may compile a fresh kernel for my Slackware laptop though.......just to see how it runs.
???kernel 3???
I read some where this kernel will start bringing native support for arm, wouldnt that be a huge improve to our phones?

I finally reverted back to GB after pretty much trying every ICS ROM.
All ICS ROM's feel slightly laggy no matter the ROM or the kernel and no matter the combination.
The latest I tried was Kangy6 with stevegaron's kernel which seemed the most fluid of all combinations.
However, comparing it with my stockish with Franco's 8dec kernel makes ICS feel slow in comparison.
Am I the only one?

nope...I flashed ICS on the release day...went back to GB in the evening never look back.
Nope,never returned to GB since the release of 4.0.3. Though I almost tried all ROM-Kernel combo just to find what suits to my phone and preference.

The only thing that would make me go back to GB would be the browser, it is horrible on ICS.
I can't believe that Google's own beta testers never picked up on it.

horrible? don't understand. The stock ICS browser is superb with lots of inovations I really don't know what seems bad for you in it.
I was on ICS for quite a long time but because of warranty I had to return to stock GB and I agree with you sabaramo, ICS feels slower and laggy.
Stock ICS browser is the only thing making me go back to ICS!
Otherwise everything on GB is a LOT smoother and snappier.

I agree, I flashed just about every ICS room out there and the browsers were slow and laggy and it pushed me back to my favorite GB ROM (Petes GB BB). I don't know if its because i'm on a NS4G our what but it WAS horrible for me too I until I flashed gummy nexus v6.1 with Steve Garons kernel and now everything is perfect and the best browser i've ever used A for stock. You might want to try that combination out it changed the way I viewed ICS and now is my daily.
had to roll back from 4.0.x to 2.3.x due many Apps not running properly or not compatible with 4.0.x

Yep, still on GB. I'm Using Brainmaster's stable MIUI rom.
Currently waiting for a stable ICS rom not in the alpha/beta stage.
yes.that's good！
Cm7
And it is far optimized better than what your used to. You really don't know what optimization is until you optimize on the next level. Any nexus running ics will be left in the dust. I made these optimizations to an already very well optimizatied ROM.

Funny you should say that. The youtube Nexus S GB vs ICS videos that i've seen seem to suggest GB being faster and smoother in side-by-side comparisons. I'm in no hurry to switch!

I myself is using modified CM7.1RC0AOSP2.3.7GB as base. But far as CM9AOSP4.0.3ICS goes its still not ready for folks like me for DD yet.
As I described below how extensively its optimized and most of it is outside the scope of current XDA.
What you have to understand is performance is not measured via synthetic benchmarks (ex: Quadrant). The biggest issue with people is that they don't know enough to know that they don't know, so they compare it with silly numbers (ex: score) they can't comprehend what they see, much less put numbers behind real life activities that's not applicable in controlled environment.
OS development which eliminates most of it but on software level custom base rom (ex: CyanogenMod) is highly optimized and tweaked to run on optimal performance. Mostly, but not all. But does it mean it can't be tweaked any further? (Rhetorical) No. How do I know? We (scope outside of XDA) tweaked it to the next level. How you ask?
1) Optimized ext4fs: reduced r/w rate (healthy NAND lifespan), improved journaling (corrupted data writeback integrity) = Which improves the IOPs and performance access rate.
2) HC3.x fugu binaries, patched sqlite libraries, mSD read ahead buffer fix.
3) Modified VM: OOM (Out Of Memory), LMK (Low Memory Killer), VM heap (Virtual Machine), DRA (Dirty Ratio), DBR (Dirty Background Ratio), DWC (Dirty Writeback Centisecs), DEC (Dirty Expired Centisecs), SWP (Swap), VCP (VFS Cache Pressure).
4) Increased minfree value: Background, Foreground, Empty, Hidden, Visible, Secondary, Content.
5) Optimized cache: File and Drop cache, Forced cache (resident loop).
6) Custom kernel: OC/UC, UV/SVS/VDD, BFS/CFS, RSU/NP/VR/SP supported.
7) Custom ROM: Optimized Rom script and props (ex: CyanogenMod).
this as its tweaked to THE next level. I'll stick with AOSP2.3.7GB until ICS4.X is more stable and we understand more as most memory grouping and adjustments might be changed.
I bet most of you only do 2 of those thing (6&7)
Hey. This may be a stupid question. But does project butter affect just the launcher, or does it also affect apps that use Hardware acceleration, such as 3d games. As in, do games run smoother on jellybean roms?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
It affects everything. the whole visual experience though vsync, triple buffering etc. For example, I use a Samsung galaxy s on cm10. I find that temple run as smooth as cm9 and this isnt a fully optimized build, even though everything works. So by the time we get to jb RC's or even later nightlies, it will blow cm9 away. Even without /datadata
So, to answer the question, yes it makes games smoother and affects everything, not just the launcher.

Hey, so i have a question for all of you veterans on here. Im mildly experimental, so i just do the basic flash a rom here and there deal. However, im running hyperdrive rls14 with stock kernel on my Verizon s3. Since it gives me options to have beats audio, aosp email and clocks as well as other great features like the touchwiz motion controls, I've been running it for a few months now.But ive realized its heavy on my battery life, and my phone has been getting hot more often than before. I felt like that partially due to the amount of ram it takes up. So does anyone have any good suggestions as to what i run? Because ive heard things such as pure stock is boring and want to make a good decision.
Try bonestock v3.3 or clean Rom.
Sent from my GT-P5113 using xda premium
I won't suggest a rom as you can very well have a different experience then me. I am going to suggest some custom kernels and apps to improve your experience on any Touchwiz rom.
Kernels:Kt747, leankernel, and Zeus.
Apps: DS Battery Saver, Carat, Greenify, Wakelock Detector and Kill Media Server.
When I ran Zeus may have wrongly accused it for something some settings did on my phone. But i couldnt figure out how out how to access governors
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well Zeus already have defaulted settings so there is no need to mess with it.
That is the second time bonestock has been mentioned to me today... How's that compare to touchwiz rims.. Any cool features or is it just smoother

I have fallen in love with paranoidandroid from notta. I prefer notta's build because it has the kill app button so I never really gave ayysirr's build much thought.
Download ktoonz kernel regardless of the rom you choose, imo.
I used to use pacman but something happened and I switched, don't know why, and I never ended up going back
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
Try it out. Bonestock is a stock Rom if you want it to be or you can mix it up with the aroma tweaks. Apparently you don't flash much at all. Anyone that has to ask has never took time to read the initial post of the thread.
Sent from my GT-P5113 using xda premium
Take some time out to read the op of these roms to see which you would like. Make a backup and start flashing away. Just because someone tells you a rom is good doesn't mean you'll have that same experience.
