[opinions] Best kernel

Rodskape said:
Lets make a group list of Captivate Kernels and list which are the best with the Pro's and Cons.
I tried Cognition 2.2b and had problems with the music player which always showed an annoying notification and the call logs that also showed annoying notifs, another problem was wifi connectivity, but its safe to assume that these cells arent the best for wifi. And at Launcher Pro it didnt show my settings options when i pressed and hold the home key.

It's all good bro, we were all new at one time. I like running the i9000 re-oriented kernel by xcaliburinhand. This way you are able to run a i9000 ROM. The reason I like this kernel is because I have no need for any of the OC/UV kernels. The captivate is already fast as hell (especially with voodoo). DesignGears probably has the best kernel for froyo, but I haven't experimented with too many different ones. haha I am also new to flashing.
Remember: read, read, and keep reading. then post.

Mine:
ROM: Cognition 2.3b3
Kernel: Cog's kernel that comes with the ROM
I had no difficulty upgrading from Cog 9.1.1. Just make sure all your stuff is up-to-date, and make sure to follow directions... it's all pretty "cut and paste" past that.

Best kernel goes to the setiron imo, that universal lagfix is just unreal, coupled with the overclock/340mb of memory and the speedmod nothing comes close to it in terms of speed.
Best rom is debatable, when i decided to switch to froyo i compared all of the current froyo roms and decided on killer23d's rom. If you want the two combined get MikeyMike01's rom.

Setiron's compilation just has everything you could want. Im runing it with DRS 3.0 and its awsome.

The one I am using....no issues
however I have not tried any others. I may give Cyanogen a try if they build one but I like Cognition now.

Thread would be more valuable if a person 'voting' for a specific rom would list pros and cons:
Pros
ONe
Two
Three
Cons
ONe
Two
or pros only.
Otherwise, lets just go browse the dev forum and do the usual reading.
I haven't done any specific kernal only updates, so unfortunately I don't have anything I can share of value.

Bluetooth/hsupa work fine with setiron.

Good to hear. I may have to give it a try.
I think someone was asking DesignGears if he may add that kernal to his next ROM. Didn't see an answer.

He really should add it, everyone else is adding it to their rom. Not sure why he's making his users miss out on its amzing features.

This thread is over a year old - and has nothing to do with your question. Best to ask in the MIUI Q&A forum.

which is the best lite rom for htc chacha?

which is the best light, fast and smoothest rom available for htc chacha. stability and battery concerned.

I hate to blow my own trumpet but I'd recommend this one

^^what that guy said
I'll toot his horn too. I'm a new member of this forum, and just started using this guy's rom. Nice, fast, and free of a lot of pre-installed clutter. Also, easy to install.

Thanks, glad you're enjoying the ROM

Just a couple of questions, so I hope you see this because I haven't posted ten times yet...
#1 no American or Canadian English setting (on initial setup, and under language settings)
#2 where's the Beats Audio?
Still love it, though. Noticeable difference in speed without background apps, and much better internal storage. Also, mildly improved battery life.

It's based on the stock EU ROM, so no, there's no American or Canadian English. I could add them but it'd add to the size of the system or no real reason. I'm sure you can live with the Queen's English
The Beats Audio doesn't show up anywhere in the UI, it just works its magic in the background. I even notice a difference when I use it with my cheap £20 eBay headphones so I know it's working
If you've seen other ROMs with the Beats Audio showing up as a setting on the UI, that's probably because they have the Music app from ROMs of newer phones. I might see if I can get that ported to my ROM now, come to think of it. Thanks for that idea
P.S. to further improve battery life, go to your sound settings and turn off all the sensor based stuff if you haven't already, that makes quite a difference!

Hmmm...haven't noticed a difference with my 20 buck Panasonics, or in my car, though that's with an FM transmitter (a good one, though).
I guess I'll live with the Queen's English, though the patriotic side of me cringes, eh?...

Weird, maybe it depends on the music you listen to. Stuff with heavy bass sounds better at least
God save our gracious Queeeeen
I just tried to stick the /system/apps folder from a Sensation XE onto my ChaCha... The ChaCha didn't like it too much. I'll experiment more later, see what I can get working. Looking around the XE ROM, there's certainly stuff here which shows whether or not Beats is working in the actual UI, so I might add some of that in if it plays nice with the ChaCha.

Cool! Thanks for all your work. Is it possible to move these posts to your thread in the development forum, so others can see what's going on?

That's something else I'm looking into. I know it can be done, others have done it, I've just got to edit the right files in my ROM so it goes to Tinfoil.

I promise I'll start posting there once I cross this ten post threshold. I understand why they do it, and it clearly has an effect on the quality of the posts, but it's still annoying .

light weight rom
here is the finest rom with good set of apps... i have been using it for months now.... there is only one issue that it doesn't shutdown the phone... seems like there is some problem with the shutdown process... but it doesnt hurt because it's nothing that we usually use....

To confirm, I am going to try and implement a fix to the dialler bug this week when I continue work on my ROM. My first priority is Aroma at the moment but it's on my list of things to do.

Glad to hear that. Ur ROM was my 1st ROM i installed after Root this device.
Original ROM is good for user who have less experience in Android or someone love Sense UI of HTC. CM7 is only good for Tech guys.

Stock ROM feel on CM7?
I have been using Chacha for almost half year now, and I like it to core. Have tried almost all ROMs so far. CWM's backup/restore functionality is pure bliss. At times when your hands are itchy, go ahead, mess up your system, do all your experiments. When done, just restore and you are back to your normal mood! Excellent!!
About the ROMs, I try them a lot, but finally do settle down to ROMs based on stock, as my daily ROMS. These are ROMS which I try my own with some experimental versions, or ones available here like from Hexgore . The reason is, there are quite a bunch of apps on Stock ROMS which are perfectly tuned for Chacha's small screen, and hence I find them more efficient than other alternative apps. Here are apps I find too good and difficult to part from.
Mail App
Dialer App
Messages App
I agree that there would be a lot better apps (like K9 for mail). But the easy of bigger icons, easy to tap organization of icons, just make be feel to stay with this mail app.
Now, coming to point, Will it be possible to get these apps work in non-Stock environment. Similar to Gapps package, if we can get to package these apps, it will be great.
I myself, will try these experiments one by one, and report my observations. But just would like to know if there are any like-minded people like me. Please comment. Thanks.

HTC launcher has more options. With Google launcher you lose apps and shortcuts option from the home screen long press menu. Screens not as easy to configure.

Yeah I know. Not a big fan of the new launcher.

Definitely try different keyboards for comfort but whenever I've had "laggy" keyboards, it was usually a resource issue affecting everything.

Custom Rom likelihood on G930f s7

Sorry in advance for what is probably a silly question.
I am new to the Sammy scene having moved over from a string of htc devices where flashing etc is different.
I know that most s7 variants are not going to see any development at all however I have the version that has root.
What is the likelihood of seeing a custom Rom for this version any time soon?

All exynos s7's will see development, just not aosp for the time being. But what exactly are you expecting in a custom rom?
All you really need is root+xposed+gravity box and that you can have right now.

Optimization and tweaks etc I suppose. Flashable custom some zips etc. There was some good Roms out for the tab s 10.5. I'll hold out until I decide whether I'm going to keep the s7 anyway. I guess if knox is tripped and features like Samsung pay get killed then it will hurt resale value

Tweaks you will find in kernel's and any other software tweaks will most likely be found in xposed, so far pickings are very slim so xposed is the way to go until development picks up.

xposed+gravity box is rubbish, most of devs not include this in custom roms.... as it will conflict with mods and themes.
If u are more into it, you know or you will find digging, there's a lot to add in custom roms, first have all edge features.... then enable all new hidden feature, readd lockscreen effects, alarm, pedometer and shealth on lockscreen......
And...at least you have first 10 days immediate warranty where your device will be replaced with new one.... well all people will wait at least 15 days to be completely sure device is perfect before starting development..... be patient.... give me a week or two, i will try to port edge features.... 6 days today i have my S7..... i'm not in a hurry.... well if u are..... hurry will not push devs.....
be patient

Hurry the hell up dude! Hahahahaha just kidding and thanks for the warm welcome
I understand there will be a wait for development I probably should have phrased the question as "what kind of development and extra features have past Sammy flagships received"
For example on htc we have features added and controlled through tweaks apps like Leedroid Roms etc. Was interested as this is all going to be a learning curve just rooting the Damn thing but from what I have seen its pretty straightforward and I have had brief experience on a Sammy tablet.
Finally I feel sorry for the s820 variants and am thankful I got a root able device

Screw'd vs Resurrection Custom ROM. (Which one)?

Hi all,
I'm now in a little 'dillema'. I have test both ROM's, only I'm now stuck.
Which one is more stable, batteryfriendly?
They have both as same the max customization. Only I go soon on vacation, so I wanna a good/stable and battery friendly rom.
I need you're openion. Yes, I know I can test which I have, but I wanna know the experience from other users.
Thanks in advance.

No one can answer this but you, and you alone
This is also why no one has replied ... it's not rocket science.

What do you have?

I built a build of pure nexus

Screw'd :good:
its has fast charge option also... go to kernel, enable it and forget about backup.
though N5 has not such a great backup thus it has only 2300mah battery.
if you still wanna go with ressurection.... flash latest hellscore over it and enable fast charge. :good:

+1 on hellscore
