Hey Guys
I am currently loving my new SG2
and the fact there is already so much development going on for it makes me excited for the future of this phone,
I just wanted some advice,
I have flashed pulsar_g2's Villian Rom in anticipation of what he has to offer in the future,
Which Kernel is better to use?
I have also Flashed coolbho3000 OC's Kernel so i can play with the OC on my SG2
What is the difference between it and Supercurio's Kernel,
And Which is better to use?
Thanks for your advice

I would recommend the OC kernel, as it has the choice of governors in SetCPU.
Remember that I say this with no reason other than I'd be flashing it, if I had a phone to flash OC seems unnecessary from reviews, but the extra governors seems a good idea.
Thanks for the reply,
I will keep this setup untill bigger and better things get released,
Which shouldn't be to long

I've been browsing the development threads for weeks now and the more I read the more confused I get regarding which Kernel to use on my GS2 (XXKG2). I guess like everybody I'd like the best combination between maximum speed, battery durability and safety.
At the moment I'm using stock with CPU Master.
Any thoughts?
Hm, tough thing to answer.
Chainfire root- The simplest one out there. Keeps the kernel close to Stock.
Ninphetamine- Supports BLN, Overclocking, Voltage Tweaks etc.
There are few others too, but as I haven't tried them won't comment. Any kernel can be used with Stock firmware. Can't say about Custom firmwares as I am not interested.
Regards.
[KERNEL] SpeedMod SGS2 [K1-T27 CWM4 CIFS ROOT]
Forget about Ninphetamine unless you want to overclock.
neophyte's mirage kernel is also good for batt life. it has finer tweak settings for voltages as compared to other kernels.
I've tried them all ninpo kernel and speedmod are two of the best. Currently using the tweaked speedmod by rage which allows undervolting. Ninpo kernel gives excellent standby idle rate.

I like speedmod because i dont bother about BLN or overclocking. (1.2 GHz not good enough for you? ) And i find the governer to be more aggressive and stable on speedmod. It spends more time on the lower frequencies too, saving more battery.
I'm trying the speedmod kernel but even though the benchmark is higher it doesn't seem as fast as the original XXKG2. For instance, I'm using "Photo Wall live wallpaper" and whenever I wake up the phone it takes like a second to refresh and load the photos...this didn't happen with XXKG2 (it was instantaneous).
What is a faster but still stable kernel alternative?
You could ask a 100 people and get 100 different answers.
The kernel that is best for you is the one you try and like the best. Just because one person likes a kernel doesn't mean you will as you've already found out.
Man up, do some downloading and find out for yourself.

How helpful. I think you might just have been Ghandi in a different life.
There is a reason why I've posted this in the Q&A instead of in the development section where I would probably get an answer like yours.
I don't take chances with a 600us$ phone and won't be installing all available kernels when I can get advice here first (the reason forums like this actually exists and the reason why I love them...well, most of the time).
Photos live wallpaper etc would be more of a rom thing, than a kernel thing.
As far as best or what have you kernel, there is no best, i find ninphetamine to be good, you may not, and this might just end up turning into another thread of generic repetition and general uselessness.
The best way is to try them, as the person above said.

I am using KG6 with ninpheghamine 2.1.3 and quick and giving me almost two days of battery life but again maybe other kernels out there are better. You can try other ones and compare.

Christ on a bike. You do understand what you are getting into when you start dicking around with your phone and custom kernels don't you? You don't take chances with a 600 dollar phone - I'm afraid you are doing, everytime you install any custom rom or custom kernel. However there is no more risk in installing one custom kernel than another custom kernel (when they are out of beta anyway), but what people prefer is massively subjective! Theres no such thing as "the most balanced kernel" because people have differing views on which kernel offers this for them.
If your not sure about a kernel why not read the thread for that kernel and see what feedback its got. If you open a thread like this you'll get a ton of differing answers as you've seen already and its not going to keep you happy.
Sorry if you don't find my advice helpful, but I've managed to find the ROM I like and the kernel I like by TRYING them. Neither of which have been mentioned in this thread by the way, but I'm not going to say its best for you, because you likely use your phone for different scenarios than me.
If your going to step into the brave world of custom kernels, rooting, roms, themes, mods etc the best thing you can do - and I say this genuinely, and meaning to be helpful - is to read up on said things and try the ones you like the sound of and you trust to be safe.

Thanks. I've been reading good things about ninphetamine. I will give it a try.

Couldn't this be GPU related? Do you think apps like Chainfire3D or Overclocking free (GPU/CPU) would fix it?
Hi all,
Did someone know why Clemsyn kernel is so smooth ?
Is just because the GPU and RAM is a bit more OC ?
If not, why Faux doesn't integrate the Clemsyn tips ?
I just want to know why we have 2 very good kernels available and why any dev don't use the best part of each to made the "ultimate one".
Thank you.
i am using cm 7.1 and always used faux kernels i must say i never had any lag issues and if i had any it is just because of ADW launcher i just installed ADWLauncher EX and every thing is silky smoth only problem i face of game glitches (fruit ninja) games run just perfect on froyo 2.2.2. Hope this helps you.
If i helped you then press thanks , if i didn't then press it any ways

Been discussed already. They were going to get together I believe to make a super kernel, but guessing it never happened.

I have not found the thread about this discution...
Please guide me.
Hello everyone.
I am running Pure ICS 7.2 Rom and like it very much.
Now i'm in need of finding the most suitable kernel that does not differ alot from stock kernel.
It does not need alot of functionality.
I just want it to be very stable, fast and light..
So no need for 100 of features im not going to need anyways.
The only feature I currently need is the BLN mod.
All the kernels support this, but in the mean time they support 100 of other things, which leads me to the conclusion, the kernel becomes bloated.
Can someone recommend me the most lightweight/fast/stable kernel.
May i remind you, I dont need overclock,underclock,governors,scheudlers etc etc.. I just want to leave it as is!!!!
NEAK kernel says
"The lightest kernel for I9100 ever made!!"
But I find that hard to believe if one looks at the feature list.. It is HUGE!!!!
Thanks in advance
Try neak,its fast and light.im currently using it
Sent from my GT-I9100
neak is good but give a try to siyah too all depends the way u use it an ull get ur results as which kernel is good for u.no one will tell tht a perticular kernel is the no 1...we all experiment an thts the way it is......cheeerz
Tried a few liking Neat Rom stock and rooted and if you want the ICS look just add ICS Domination 4.1

please read before posting - or try understand the difference between a kernel and rom...
@op the only way to find out is test them yourself - recommended with BLN, would be neak or siyah obviously

Please guys be more precise and read the first post again!!!
I know I can just try different kernels as the first few posts suggest.
But c'mon guys why reinvent the wheel with kernels as well?
I know its a good idea to try different ROMS, and I give the same advice to others, and I have already tried my share of ROMS.
But its just plain stupid doing the same with kernels as well.
In the siyah forum post, some people complain about random restarts etc. The kernel motto is "One kernel to rule them all"..
I DONT NEED SO POWERFULL KERNEL!
I dont need 100 features, 100 governors, support for CM9 and all its functionality etc. etc.. I just want to install and go.
Dont want to play around with scheudlers, governors, OC/UC etc. etc..
You guys catch my drift?
I have very specific demands which I stated in the first post.
I didn't just ask "Which kernel should I use..."
Therefore please only post something, if you have something usefull to say. Not just try NEAK kernel! And why exactly should i try NEAK kernel?
In that forum, people complain about lagging issues etc..
I DONT NEED THAT!
I need a kernel I can flash and forget! Dont want to visit XDA every 2 days to check for updates to the kernel!
Exactly like stock kernels and ROMS. They are only updated maybe once every 6 months or so, because they are stable, and dont crash too often!
I need to have the same experience with the kernel!
well mate, to be honest with ya ICS kernels still obviously aren't 100% stable as sources have only been released for a short period... it obviously sounds like you want a stock Kernel or a kernel similar to SpeedMod, but guess what? they don't have BLN which you stated you wanted. Both Neak and siyah do, and are decent choices, some people prefer one over the other, there is no one better choice, definitely at this current stage in ICS development - so choose one this is why people are saying test one and see for yourself; otherwise move back to gb if you really need BLN and complete stability.

Thanks man for your honest post
Coming from HTC Desire, I was kind of shocked Samsung omitted the notification led ( why o'why would they do that )
And off course all the reviews of SGS2 were praising the phone so much, they didn't state the obvious con of not including this led
Why don't you stay with the cf root kernel until the other kernels get a stable version?

I know what you mean! I had a galaxy s2, however was stolen and found a HTC Desire cheap, so used that for a while, loved the led notification light! However couldn't overlook the fact of the speed of the galaxy s2 and finding one cheap shortly after (thanks ebay!), I reverted back to the s2; one thing its missing is the led, for sure! Though while we do have BLN, it does affect the battery life so isn't really ideal. Though back on topic, if we wait a month I believe we will have stable, fast kernels (whilst also having BLN of course ) , which will shred gb and the custom kernels we had for that.

Hi all. I m new to SGS2 got it last month.. But that time CM9 was bi famous.. But battery backup sucked.. So thinking of going back to GB(Not for stock!!) CM7. So can anyone tell me which is the best kernel for CM7...
Thanks in advance!!
Having been here a while, you should know better than to ask a question like that. Stick to the stock CM7 kernel or try some compatible kernels till you find one you like.
you realize cm7 default kernel is optimized for best working and battery, thus i really dont understand for thinking to best that!

The old city ppl we ll be knowing gud and bad abt there city.. I m a new comer.. However CM7 is losing its existence.. I searched upto 4 pages back but no clue of GB kernels.. SO i asked..
BTW thanks for the REPLY:good:

Best ROM, best kernel, those threads don't last here. The best one is the one that works well on your phone. Try them on for size and make your own decision.
Guys, do any of you know if there is an OC Kernel for the SGP311 around, or if there is one in development? If not would there be any devs kind enoguh to make one :fingers-crossed:
right now there is no public publishment of a OC kernel for the sgp311 or sgp312. now i am not sure if you are running stock or aosp. but the Carbon dev has a custom kernel that has lower mhz and voltage control plus other things. there is no overclocking on that kernel. but at the moment i have asked him if i can use his kernel as a base to add OC and few more governors thats i like :fingers-crossed:
Hi there.
I was wondering if you've made some progess on the kernel.
Thanks.
There has been a kernel released which allows you to overclock recently (up to 1838 MHz). It's right here. Go show the devs some love. It's for the stock firmware only at the minute, but he's planning on making one for aosp too.

Yeah, i knew about that kernel.
But… well it looks like it's from an inexperienced dev and it doesn't seem to perform well…
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort from the device but it's not for me…

I've been running it and i get the exact same battery life, yet i get a 10322 score on quadrant. I don't seem how it's not performing well...

Well, if you read the (very short) thread it states that the performance is really bad.
At what frequency are you getting this score?
I'm getting 76xx on Quadrant, all stock speeds.
I still have a locked bootloader and am only willing to unlock if there's a good reason for it, like let's say DoomLord's kernel but since he stopped developing for the SGP311 and there's no other experienced dev I'm thinking it's not worth it.
But that's just my opinion.
We really need some good devs for the device, I mean come on, it's a great tablet!
