hi i was wondering what kernel would best suit my vibrant no internet on it mainly used for texting and games please and ty i am on cm7
dpends on what type of gb rom you're running.
i have no experience with samsung based gb roms, but i do know that if you're running cm7, glitch v11 is a great kernel! insane uv, voodoo color (the nexus s version), voodoo sound, 1.7GHz OC.
yes i am running the current nightly cm7
then try glitch v11 for vibrant.
If you ever get the need to flash something different from cm7 try miui, its a nice change and is even more theme-able then cm7 but if texting is all you use your phone for try edt's trigger since it has superior battery life so you can text all day and night

I'm liking flagship v4 and wondered if I could run, for instance, TW's 1.2ghz kernel without messing up my phone?
Thanks.
i guess you could but why theres better kernals that have less power drian an oc to 1.4ghz use the DoW14 kernel 1.1 its much much better an ya flags rom is nice but for performance an speed i would try out Bionix-v 1.2.1 unless ur dead set on flagship

Thanks for the reply....been watching the voodoo sound kernels for some time...tried the dragon 3.2 a few weeks back and could not live with battery drain. Seems that this is still an issue for dow14, even without OC....I'm gonna wait a little longer.
i ran bionix 1.2.1 for a few days but found it not as stable as 1.2, in fact I've found that the TW roms have given me issues since nero v5, which was a perfect rom.
Gonna such with flagship for now...
I had the same experiance. I like flagship theming better too. I tried dow and dead horse on flagship and went with deadhorse OC. Better battery and seemed more stable...but thats just me.

If by the TW 1.2ghz kernel you mean Core, then it will only work with Android 2.1 ROMs and not 2.2 ROMs.
EDT 2.2.1 + DOW1.4fow = awesome.
Dragon kernel 3.1.2 gave me best performance although i can only go up to 1280mhz
57FPS on neocore
weird thing is it's performance beats other dragon kernel versions even @ 1360mhz
48FPS only necore
have yet to try DOW kernels extensively ... tried it once for a short while but i experienced some instabilities and i guess i'm not familiar yet with setCPU
First off, this should have been asked (or searched) in the thread for the ROM, or kernel you're asking about. If you really had to make a new thread, this is absolutely the wrong section to post it in. It clutters the dev section, and gives the mods more unnecessary work. Theres a Q&A section for a reason. Not bashing, just for future reference.
That being said, Most of the recent 2.2 Vibrant kernels should work fine on most recent 2.2 ROMs. If you're worried, just make sure you have a flashable version of whatever kernel you're currently using on your internal SD to flash if anything goes wrong. That could save you from having to use Odin if anything were to happen.
Also, someone mentioned troubles with SetCPU. I personally prefer using init.d scrips to overclock. Most ROMs support them now. I don't need any extra apps/processes running, and it's always very smooth for me. That's just personal preference though.

I'm about to get a X10 from a friend of mine, and was curious about what the best rom/kernel for the phone is.
So far it looks like cyanogen mod 7.0 is going to be the best thing I could flash it with, but it kinda bugs me that the camera doesn't work 100%.
I'm also hearing that 2.3 will be officially released soon, but knowing how my carriers usually operate with updates that will be 3 months till I see that.
Whats the closest thing to a vanilla android experience with full functionality?
or what Rom/Kernel are you using and why?
Wolfbreaks 009 isnt quite vanilla but is my favorite thus far. Has some new ported gingerbread features from achotjan and it's speed is unreal. I use it with the 3.62 kernel by goro, doomlords, and zkernel are all amazing. Just amazing all around, and if not that use erickwill's 2.1 ROM. When gingerbread comes out the camera drivers will be ported to gingerbread ROMs so you shouldnt worry about not getting a working 2.3 ROM
good to know.
If you're looking for some extra speed, take a look at Power To The People kernel. Overclocked to 1.2GHz, but might cause some instability, and fry the device if used for a long time.
I wouldn't want to overclock.
I don't see the point in doing it on smartphones, especially when the battery life is already low.
Right now im leaning towards cyanogen or ultima 4. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095637
just finished rooting it, now im running titanium backup.
Then for kernel you might want to check out zKernel-failsafe, no overclock, no underclock. Stable and fast. The stock kernel is slow.
Just testeds both Wolf's and Ultima 5... got some tiny issues with 3G band on Ultima and I wasnt able to open the NFS Drift Game in both of them...
Tryed CM7 + custom Kernel with a good response, all of this using BB 67. The only trouble I got with CM7 was the slow response from GPS...
I might go back to Stock Eclair + custom Kernel till the update comes out...

I was looking at the CM7 Rom but was afraid that everything would be slow/laggy on the xperia.
I'm running R-9 V5 rom and android 2.3.4 stock kernel and 1.77.30 radio. I was getting random reboots on the 1.97.00R radio with the stock kernel, kholk, and faux123. I'm just wondering what is the perfect combo to eliminate random reboots? It's extremely annoying when every time I pull my phone out to use, it's restarting. What I would prefer is Kholk kernel with the 1.21Ghz overclock and R-9 V5 rom, as well as the 1.97.00R radio and no random reboots. Why does this occur? 1.97.00R was supposed to fix random reboots... With the none ext 4 kernels I get fully working wifi on all faux123 and kholk, however ext kernels lose wifi in an error. However the none ext 4 kernels have random reboots with perfect working wifi. So I'm looking for a rom/ kernel/ radio with an overclock preferably kholk and a rom/ kernel that allows for working wifi and no random reboots. I get random reboots even while the phone in underclocked. I usually run the max at 608Mhz. Your guy's help would be highly appreciated!!
Thanks Buds!
When it comes to modifying my phone, I am very reserve and I usually like things to develop until they are fully functional and integrated, i.e. roms, kernels, etc.
So before I move on to making major changes I like to find a stable setup that works well for me.
Currently I am running CM7, prebeta #3 with faux's kernel at 1.1Ghz
My honest opinion is that faux's kernels are really sweet and even at a 1.1Ghz OC it is awesome. There is a 1.3Ghz out right now by the way but with a 1.1Ghz OC my quadrant scores while running CM7 are averaging out at around 3600-3800.
If you, dont want this you should try the recently popular HomeBase ROMS which are stock 2.3.4. with blur (i think stock looks nice) and an integrated 1.3Ghz OC. That should run pretty smooth.
It really depends on what you like. CM7 runs nice if you don't care about/use the camera.
Alien #4 (with or without theme) is really fast and looks pretty good with the theme applied (deblurs a lot)
The Darkside 1.3 looks pretty with its red/black theme and has a pretty good boot animation. It is also pretty quick and deblured.
Haven't used Aura but it's supposed to be a really fast semi-stock ROM.
CherryPi is also supposed to be fast but I don't like the theme.
Starwars ROM is really nice if you are a big star wars fan.
Faux123's kernels are the most stable that I've seen, even the new 1.3GHz kernel. Kholk's suffer from random reboots when wifi is enabled (only with some people, me and you for example).
Also, with your phone underclocked to 608, you are missing out on just how quick this phone can be. If you undervolt, then leaving the phone at 1GHz kind of balances out the battery drain.
Cm7 is awesome, but the battery life is so-so. Fauxs 1.3 kernel is fast but battery is even worse.
Stock is my favorite with faux 1.1 kernel undervolted. I wish there was a 1.0 kernel that supported uv.
Alien is never updated and suffers from too many force close and reboots for me.
I'm not too big on the themes from some of the other roms, and since they are all repackaged stock roms with the same tweaks and either faux or stock kernel your often better off with stock and the theme of your choice imo.

I'm running HomeBase with the faux 1.3ghz kernel. It rocks.
later
I run everything stock and it works great. Next question?
Im running Alien #4 with the theme, Faux 1.3 kernel undervolted, i get the less random reboots with this mix.
I disabled the apps i dont use much from the autostart using (Optimize Tool Box from android market), so it boots a lot faster if it ever random reboots.
My vote goes to Aura
From a post I just did on the Develop Aura thread:
Diviance: Thanks very much for a great ROM (#8 Blur). My phone, for the first time, performs like I want it to. My bluetooth sync with my Ford truck was never complete before. I noticed this am it was even uploading the text messages to the truck! And I can have both the phone and the Slacker work via bluetooth (after gb had to be one or the other). After GB I also had some issues with one person on text messaging where I didn't get the phone number so I couldn't respond. That went away also. In both cases reloading 2.3.4 did nothing to fix it only the Aura ROM.
(I am on the #8 Blur which comes bundled with Faux's kernel I believe)

So have you noticed anything else cool about optimize tool box? sounds pretty cool.
I have never experienced random reboots.
I am currently on CM7 / Fauxx123 kernel
For a stable build and performance, flash Alien #4 / Fauxx123 Kernel 1.3Mhz

it also notifies me when an installed app can be moved to the sd card, i think this should be considered a must have. and its free

Hey friends, im way outdated with comm rom 2.0 what's the most stable smooth rom kernel combo? Preferably one that runs aosp launcher 2.0, undervolt, not much of an overclocker so that's not important... Thanks for any input
IMO Vanilla GB v7 is the bees knees at the moment. It's fast as hell, setup is quick, the kernel packaged with it is OCable but not needed, and it just works great overall. jt1134 designed it for his personal use. That cat is a monster.

Sweet thanks
Is that the cm7 nightly fascinate emtd?
Nope...vanilla GB is a stripped down GB rom...think of the days of vanilla Froyo, only gingerbread based, where cm7 is made by the cyanogen team with the nightly builds being done by a build bot

Oh nice does it have built in safe wifi tether too? Man im so put of date thanks for the input, found the thread on rootwiki
So I did my research and found out about the SD card problems... probably going to stay on comm rom cause im not too sure on stability anymore, here were the cons I found:
-SD card can get fried
-Camera not very good?
-Random reboots?
Ccampos has a GB Powerwashed ROM that is fully functioning and sweet as hell too. Plus Imnuts just wrote two new kernels that work with it-voodoo and non-voodoo. And that sd card problem is over now. It's all good either way, I still love UKB.
Sent via Morse code.
What was the SD card problem fix? Kernel related?
+1 on the PowerWash GingerBread. It's the most smooth and stable ROM I've run out of all the many, many ROM's of the past. The SD card issue is fixed, I know not how.
Not so sure about those new kernels by Imnuts. Thought last I heard they would not work.
Try the powerwashed ed05 1.2 by ccompos. His pwgb rom is nice too, but only has stock kernal right now. The pw 1.2 is actually smoother and faster w/ imnuts 0808 pbj kernal, but the otb fusion 1.6 kernal is not bad either.
Hi all,
My mother just bought a Vibrant and moved from a feature phone. As it goes, I will be flashing it from it's eclair condition to Froyo but since I haven't run Froyo in so long (I'm CM7 fan), I don't know which Froyo ROM to use.
Any help is appreciated here. I need the best possible ROM+Kernel for battery. I don't really care about other features at the moment. Only requirement is to last as long as possible on a charge.
I'd suggest bi winning v3 by Dan brutal. I know he's moved on, but the rom is rock solid for me. I use the bullet kernel that came with the rom but alot of people used the Bali kernel that was under volted.
bionix v2
bionix v2 and bali 1.8.8 uv . .
ZenDroid w/ included Bali kernel or DMZ kernel. ZenDroid is already very much stripped down and has newer tweaks than most other froyo roms. Very efficient. Maybe you should order another one of those 1800mah batteries for her too.

Project v an bali x oc 1.2 conservative undervolt 50 across board
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Basically Bali 1.8.8uv or Bali X 1.2 (if you want to UV further) kernel coupled with any of the recently updated Froyo Roms. I'd suggest Toxic8 if you really like to theme your phone (though nothing beats MIUI for theming) and Zendroid if you want a stripped down, Touchwiz-less experience.
I have to agree with @GreggoryD502 on this one. I have put Winning on all 3 of my family phones and it ran great in terms of battery. Except for CM7 and Neo 16 that I am running now, I have never had any better battery life than I did with that rom. It isn't the latest and greatest but it is a solid performer. I flashed other 2.2 roms and ended up coming back to it several times until Cyanogen was released and stable.
