Hey back from playing with the note 3 the past few months. Running cm11 on my red nexus right now but I've fallen off the kernel game. Any recommendations? I remember running Mahdi ROM with a experimental x kernel. Looking to oc this a little bit
Just look for the features you want. Find the features because otherwise, they're all good.

and its cm, so it has to be a cm compatible or CAF kernel. aosp kernels will not work on cm.
Just flashed cm caf experimental express and all is well. Thanks guys
Come on dude.. At least say the name correctly.. It's ElementalX

hello..ive come from lg g2x forum..there we dont have more of the options for roms and kernels...and coming here is like getting lost in the wolrd of roms and kernels :angel:
i know these kind of topics are never appreciated but some pointer wud be much appreciated...
need just smoothness and speed...thats it..dont care about battery..also i thought nexus s has project butter implemented but it isnt that smooth..
anyway some help please ...
what android version?
oops sorry... cm10.1
Try Marmite for smoothness and stability, or Trinity, but i'm not sure that your phone can handle it (no voltage settings!)..
Marmite is probably the best choice
Marmite is the way to go bro~
It is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for what you are not
If you are looking for project butter, try some of the 4.1.2 ROMs. The 4.2 ROMs are still maturing and aren't that smooth on Nexus S.
Marmite latest version is a good kernel.

Matr1x kernel overclocked to 1.32 is smooth and stable
thalamus kernel is smooth and snappy, really stable, but less features
The majority of these forums seem to prefer marmite, but I only tried up to 7.1.3, before switching back to matr1x, so I couldn't tell you.
I really think it depends on the rom you are planning to run. Each kernel works/reacts differently with each rom. Usually if you read through the threads for a specific rom you can get a good indication of which kernel works best for it and which setting in each kernel give the best performance. JMHO
which kernel...
which one works better with my nexus s (jellybam 5.1.0)
matr1x vs cm10 vs marmite

I personally prefer Marmite, it works really smooth on my Nexus S, especially when using Jellybean!
AW: [Q] best kernel for nexus s
As you can see everybody preferes a different kernel! I rly like matr1x!
I suggest you try out yourself wich one is best for you! Also try different settings! I use row io scheduler and smartass v2 governor...
i tried almost latest, stable, weekly and nightly roms (like jellyshot final,rbj, gamerz rom,cm10.1 stable, hellybean, slimbean, xenonhd, carbon, PA, thinking bridge, miui, avatar and jellybam
with the different cfs,bfs, vodoo, non vodoo, stable and weekly kernels (like air kernel, matr1x, trinity, devil kernel, marmite, zxenz kernel vta2 kernel) and the best kernel for me (crespo) is marmite 2nd to the best is devil kernel.. and marmite 8.7 bigmem is working best in any rom..
now im testing the thinking bridge latest rom with these kernels.. XD
Not really kernel related, but since I am running marmite v8.7 bigmem, I just ran quadrant & I've only gotten a score of 2046. Other scores were 2033 & 1991, idk how others seem to get such high scores. I've just recently pretty much started fresh due to my phone having problems, so I am in the process of restoring some of my backed up apps.
Quadrant is crap, run antutub instead.

I just jumped ship from the galaxy nexus to the Verizon SIII and finally got it unlocked and rooted. So I worked my way over to the development section to pick out a rom and and kernel but was overwhelmed by the amount of choices. So I thought id ask the xda community's opinion on what rom and kernel I should choose?
My only requirements are:
1. Must be stock jellybean (not a huge fan of touch wiz)
2. Performance is a huge factor to me
3. Overclocking options (CPU, GPU, Memory?)
4. Customizable options
Thanks guys!!
AOKP jb-mr1 build 4, lean kernel experimental build 2. Best combo I've used.

Does Wifi Tether work well with Carbon and that kernel? I am running a nightly from CM 10.1, seems to be the only one that has wifi tether working well with 4.2.2
---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------
I really like Liquid Smooths new rom for 4.2.2. Tons of customization and overclocking. The RC1 came out on Feb 14th and the only issue I had was with Wifi Tether. Once that is fixed I will be using as a daily driver.
You'll probably want to use CM10.1. Has the most up to date fixes and considering this isn't a nexus device there are some issues out there, and the less you have the better. MROM seems like a good choice as well though I've never tried it. CarbonROM had some issue with changing the notification/battery light color (it was broken) but idk if that's been fixed yet.
Another heads-up on the performance side: though AOSP performs much better than TW, it scores significantly lower than TW in certain benchmarks. Do not be alarmed, Samsung is cheating those scores by optimizing databases for those apps.

My current daily driver is carbon ROM with ktoons kernel.

Wifi Tether work for you?
Eclipse Rom! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136671
I use Paranoid Android 3.1 and lean kernel 2.7.3 which lets me over clock to 1.9ghz . The rom has lots of updates and features as well.
AOKP jb-mr1 build 5
-Overclocking
-Themes
If you plan to try multiple ROMs, I'd stay with either a 4.1.x base or 4.2.x base. If you toggle between 4.1 and 4.2 your folder structure is going to get messed up (ie sdcard/0/0/0/0/.....)
PA
I swap between PA3.1 from Notta and MIUI from Strumerjon
I gotta say, the PA builds from Notta have been solid for a while.
Everything that I've tried has worked.
RootBox
I can't believe nobody has mentioned RootBox! Tethering works out of the box you can theme almost everything and it's insanely fast and stable. Highly recommend it!
So I lost my phone, got a new one, rooted using the casual root/unlock w/twrp method found on this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2332825
Is it possible to somehow improperly root/unlock without bricking? Or that I just got a bad download. I am having random reboots with just about every kernel I flash, some worse than others. I can only run the stock kernel. Running a clean 2.9 and the latest TWRP. Would it be useful to do a full wipe and "reroot/unlock"
What rom are you using and what kernels are you trying to flash?

Right, sorry. Liquid 2.9..tried flashing multiple builds of BMS, a few lk builds, dkp, and team kernalizer kernel. I think that's all of the available kernels for the s3

Clean flashes, freshly installed rom after first boot with the stock kernel, I reboot and flash the new kernel and just never fee stability.

Well, I follow AOSP kernel development a little bit. If I were you, I'd start by flashing a kernel built within seven days of July 20th cuz it seems every two to three weeks, kernel commits render older roms useless. If you don't follow AOSP commits in the more popular rom or kernel threads then I suggest staying away from custom kernels cuz they move quickly. Custom AOSP kernels built on 8/13 won't work on older roms for example.
Edit: I got July 20th cuz LiquidSmooth was last updated on July 20th btw. Just to be clear.
Good advice. I don't follow the aosp commits but I did have the same thought and flashed an older version of BMS (I really want to give it some burn) didn't work... I'll try an older build of lk too just to see where I am.
Really hoping 4.3 somehow resolves this issue for me.
Thanks for your help.

Hope so too. I'm trying out Slim Bean beta 2 with BMS kernel from 8/15 and it's working great performance wise. I'd even suggest trying newer 4.3 rooms (CM, Unofficial CM, PA, etc) just for a couple hours and trying your hand with a custom kernel from 8/13 or newer. Or trying a newer 4.2.2 nightly with a custom kernel. For BMS, I believe GideonX said that 7/30 is the last JB 4.2.2 kernel he's made.
How long would you say you waited before flashing the kernel? I usually flash rom, reinstall my apps, set up home screens, then flash a kernel. Maybe 20 minutes between rom and kernel flash cuz of habit.

Installed trinity kernel 4.4 on my nexus 5 using stock ROM. Things worked great. Flashed CM 11 and now the 4.4 and 4.4.1 trinity kernels put the phone in a bootloop. Are these kernels not compatible with CM11? Am rooted, running TWRP 2.6.3.4, and am running the CM 11 20131207 nightly. Thanks for any info.

no, most custom kernels arent compatible with cm, unless they are cm based. cm moved away from aosp, and are using qualcomms source. most the custom kernels are aosp based. trinity is aosp based, and not willing to cater to cm. unless cm goes back to aosp, trinity wont support cm.
Thank you very much for your info and I understand totally. Still running trinity on my gnex and nexus 7(2012). Runs awesome on both and I love the trinity features on my gnex. Thanks again for your quick reply and info. Have a good one!

Hello all,
Very grateful for any help at all. I just flashed the latest AOKP nightly (20140907 v4.4.4) onto my Nexus 5 and I'm looking for a kernel that supports USB FastCharge (the default kernel, 3.4.0 Cyanogenmod g186e370r1 does not). So far I've tried:
Franco r63
Code Blue r350
TeamAT Next v0.10 & v0.11b
Flashing any of these results in failed boot (hung at initial 'google' boot screen). Thankfully it's easy enough to restore 'boot' and start over.
I've learned that I need a CM/CAF kernel but the last few I tried still fail to boot.
I *really* love my fastcharge option...but I'm running out of options...
Any suggestions?
Different rom.
If you need CAF, chaos and elementalx are kernels you should try. Been ages since I've used chaos but in use the AOSP version of elementalx so I can say that has fastcharge for sure.
