Hey guys,
Been flashing away like crazy trying to figure out the best kernel.
Anyone have excel results with deep sleep, no random reboots and just overall good experience?
I know we have skyhigh, arter97, noble and stock modified by jovy.
Thanks for your input

jovy's was giving me lots of random reboots. I wiped cache and ART cache before flashing to arter97's last night and so far everything is perfect. YMMV
I really like the arter97 kernel... I have had zero issues.
I have tried arter 3.6, 4.0, and currently on 4.1 and none have had random reboots or any issues.
I have also tried Noble alpha, Noble build 3, and jovy23 kernels.
@jovy23 has an updated kernel that he released last night... I have had zero reboots so far... looks promising.
Hands down arter 4.1
+1
arter 4.1

I'm currently running a Neapolitan ICS rom that came out a few months ago and I've been having a lot of stability/speed issues with it. Lookign to flash a new ROM but there are so many to choose from.. any suggestion? Most important things to be are stability and speed.. I don't care too much about a fancy feature set.
Thanks in advance
Im running Drew Garens Orca ROM, with matr1x 15.5 and i love it! Very stable

any ics rom now would be better than neapolitan since its using a hacked up gingerbread kernel. so i wouldnt even consider it truly ics since its not using a 3.0.8+ kernel.
I use bixie rom v.1.0.0 with matr1x kernel v.16 - It's really fast stable and smooth. Battery life is also good (just need to tweak some settings).
u can see a review about this combo on nexusshacks website
cheers
I use CyberGr V7. It's awesome.
Stable, Fast, stable and incredible battery. Lot of options and functions.
One word GREAT.
I am currently using CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ver. 7.0 Hybrid ICS, it crashes from time to time but for the most part is working fine! I would also remond the CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 v2.1 it has less custom features but its only getting better!
PV!
Check out kangs roms (AOKP). There getting lots of positive feedback

Cm9 very fast,stable, you can tweak cpu governors,sounds and colors directly in the rom settings
Cyanogenmod 9 v2.1
Cyanogenmod 9 v2.1 runs very stable on my phone! I would definitely recommend it for stable daily use!
Bigxie Crespo Apex v1.02...brilliant. Was on NexusBeam before which was excellent too, But Bigxie ROm has lots of nice features, facebook sync etc.
Never had a reboot with either unless using a different oc'd kernel, So off the shelf Bigxie Crespo Apex v1.02 it is. rock solid. loving it. Don't like the boot graphic so flashed the stock one and its just perfect
CM9 Kang for the win
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
CM9 Nightly Kang (Build 1 of v2.1)
Eugene's Kernel (Speedy-7)
OC 1100/100 (conservative)
I recommend CyberGRv7 ICS rom. It runs beauty on my nexus s!!
Curious if anyone else is experiencing bad flash performance after upgrading to ICS? I've done the factory reset etc.. Still no improvement. To clarify, no improvement in my ability to stream from amazon VOD etc. Coming from prime with OC kernel where everything was smooth as butter - this is frustrating. I'm running on a first gen tft101..
Issue resolved
If you are experiencing similar issues with flash/video streaming do a full wipe and install Revolver 4 by Gnufabio | 4.1.0 Stable, the new NVIDIA drivers and guevor's latest kernel.. Revolver 4 combined with guevor's kernel is by far the fastest and most reliable ICS experience I've had - and I've tried all popular ROM's. I've had NO issues since upgrading and battery life is excellent.
Bye bye HC hello ICS!
Thank you Gnufabio and guevor for all your hard work!
Guevor's kernel on any of the ICS roms does the trick x)
I keep flashing and flashing kernels.
Air
Matrix
Steve Garon
Trinity
Franco
etc
etc
Does anyone use an older dated kernel of any of these on any ICS ROMS and have such stability and good battery life that they are unwilling to upgrade to anything else ?
If so, what is your combination and setup ?
Thanks
Griff
airkernel 3.0 is what I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21935053&postcount=1 its been good to me
aokp m4 airkernel 3.0 65fps-blue colors
Speedy-4 by eugene373
I'm quite happy with the stock CM9 kernel. What ROM are you using? Have you tried sticking with it's stock kernel? There's generally a reason the ROM dev chooses the kernel they do.
I have had good results with CM9's stock kernel and the Air kernel for ICS. I had instability with matr1x and trinity.
Im using franco's 1.1 and while it's very bare bones (no bln/bld/voodoo/oc etc) the kernel performs amazingly well and I couldn't be more pleased. I got tired of reboots with other kernels and haven't suffered even a single one yet.

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.
Sent from my Nexus S
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.

Hey guys,
I've got a problem. I'm addicted to flashing new roms and there is one thing that sucks so much.
RANDOM REBOOTS
Roms are running perfect with Marmite kernel, like Nexus S in ice or jelly or fire. but random reboots make me mad!
So I tested out:Jelly Shot 4.7 with Marmite Bigmem 8.6
Rasbean Jelly 6/9/13 with ""
SlimBean RC6 with ""
unofficial AOKP with ""
Parandroid with ""
How I flashed for all roms: I'm using TWRP 2.5.0.0
FULL Wipe expect SD Card
Flashing Rom Wiper Script (for 100% secureness)
Flash Rom Zip -> Gapps -> Marmite -> Reboot -> Happy for one day -> next day random reboots.
ALL THESE ROMS HAD RANDOM REBOOTS with Marmite.
No overclocking or changes with Kernel.
Its the perfect kernel but why there are these reboots?
When I use stock kernel of these roms, they arent that fast but really stable and no random reboots.
Please tell me why...

Well Marmite is on of the best kernels for nexus s so it's never happened t me, but the problem could be that you flashed cm version in Aosp rom and nrmal version in CM based rom....but Marmite is the best

You do realize that Marmite is the stock kernel on JellyShot, and other ROMs.. And all phones are not equal, so what works for some may cause you issues..

I never overclock and the minimum frequency is 100mhz, the cpu govener is ondemand or smartass v2, and the kernel scedueler cfq or dedline, thats about it, maibe it's something to do with your phone in particular, mine is perfect with Marmite
Maybe you have a low memory problem. Do any of your apps hog your memory? or do you have too many memory intensive background programs. Maybe it's just one corrupt app

No my biggest apps are Nova Launcher, G+, Falcon Pro & WhatsApp. Sometimes it reboots when its just lying there for no reason. Really magical!

Do you overclock? Another reason this might happen is when an app you restore via titanium backup (installed fresh from another rom) messed up. If your still get reboots, try to start fresh, then just restore your messages and other important data. Avoid restoring system and 3rd party apps.

No I dont overclock, I dont restore things to. Only WhatsApp and Nove Launcher. My rom flashs are all time clean. :/
Same here mate, I've flashed all those ROMs, and they are plagued by random reboots ( at least on my phone).
Flashed last week THINKINGBRIDGE and no reboots so far, ROM is also twice faster than roms (4.2.2) I've tried so far.
Maybe after flashing the kernel , fix permissions ?
