Which kernel? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Should I use fauxs or kholks?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk

Try them both and see what you like better. Changing kernels is easy. Personally, I've been using Faux's kernels since he released it, and I've never had any problems at all. But I haven't bothered trying Kholk's, so I can't compare them for you.
Anyway, like I said, changing kernels is quick and easy, you don't even have to wipe data like you do with ROMs (you DO need to wipe cache, but that's not really an inconvenience).

agreed faux rocks.........hey that rhyms

faux is pronounced "foe"
so.. it doesnt.

I've tried both. To me, Faux's has a bit more long-term stability. With Kholk's I had random reboots every few hours or so with or without UV. Haven't had that with Faux's, but it's not a common thing to have happen with either. I *have* to UV either one for them to work properly, but I also get similar scores with both of them at max clock speed.

Thanks for the feedback.I'm sticking with faux. Cm7 for the win.

Thanks a lot for this times. Very thorough work.
Would you suggest starting on High Leakage first?

Try all three. See which one works best with your phone.
Though, High leakage is probably the safest to start, but still could be unadapted to your device.
Works with mtd roms?

Awesome thanks. I'll flash now. Besides overclocking to 1.7 ghz (something I will not do) what advantages does this kernel offer over nemisis2all's OTB kernel?
First off lemme say the color change at low backlight setting is BEAUITUFL.

Yes now I see that! The color is great.
My gosh this kernel is absolutely brilliant. My phone is flying and has SO MUCH memory.
I highly recommend running the Kernel Cleaner before flashing.
Downloaded all three and testing each one. I thought my phone was smooth before, this takes it to another level. I like the color screen change in the Voodoo Control App. From what I can tell so far, this kernel is phenomenal.
If the phone froze immediately when I set the max CPU to 1400 on LL, it's probably not right for me, right?

Awsome glitch. You are fantastic. I love the boot screen that you've integrated into this kernel as well as the blue CWM.
Bravo to you.
This looks great, I will be flashing it soon. Thanks!
Is this for bml or mtd cm7?

careful with trying too low voltage because we don't have the three button cwm so if you can't even boot, you are screwed and have to flash CM7 again.

Yes guys. Please try High Leakage first. Most of us will have to use that as our primary kernel so don't get too greedy.
Can't download from xda app. The links appear to be inside quoted text and therefore are not followable
Also, how is audio volume with this kernel? I'm curious if it will do anything to help the known audio issues with cm7..

Bali vs Glitch YOU choose

Which one would you guys recommend to me most?
I'm currently on Bali, have been for about 12 hours, and its given me a few hours extra on battery life, but i'm wondering, is Glitch even better? I don't like to flash things I don't need.
So you guys tell me.
This is to help me, AND others that wonder the same question...
Havent tried bali yet. Luuuurve glitch tho. Voodoo color is a plus and my battery life is much better, about 5 hrs more than stock redux. But as doon as bali gets voodoo color [which is soon] ill try it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Well, I'd say glitch is for the more technically/tweaking due to it have voodoo color, up to 1.7ghz oc, insane work into UV and oc stability based on your chip quality.
But Bali might have slightly better vibrant specific support since it's from a mostly vibrant oriented dev. But Bali might be more generic in the features it has (this sentence is not meant to be read as a knock or rude in anyway).

glitch is awesome, previously terrible battery life and stability was questionable, but after latest update v11 battery especially is amazing, and getting some good UV aswell

I will try Glitch, but is the battery still good even if I don't Undervolt, underclock, over clock, or anything just flash the kernel?

let me know how it goes, if bali doesnt go as well as expected in the next couple days ill probably try out glitch
Glitch seems to have better battery life, and thats what i wanted.
Bali gives more than the usual from CM7, but glitch goes over Bali, this is great, and the phone actually sleeps now.
thanks guys
Are you guys trying this on froyo or GB? Or it doesn't matter?

Gb, and more specifically, CM7/miui. And it's only for that.

I never got how to flash a kernal. 2 years into android and I'm still clueless-__-. Do you flash it like a normal rom? I have miui running. Do I just flash? Wipe?
Im fairly new to flashing kernels as well, but you DL it, put it on your internal SD and flash it like you would a rom. Thats all I did when I flashed Bali.
So far no real difference on Bali, my battery drain on cm7 is still terrible but I just flashed it today so Ill give it a couple more days
I always had crappy battery on Glitch, and I'm talking 8-10 hours completely unused. Bali is vibrant-specific and gives MUCH better battery life, 15 hours and still had 30% left.

for bali, you do it normal, and for glitch to be safe, theres a script you have to download, and first flash that, then the kernel.

IDK if there's a version for Froyo ROMS.
Glitch is for CM7, specifically, idk if it will even work for miui- you need to pay attention to the title, which i never read.
but it is for 2.3 roms as far as i know, and there MAY be one for froyo in the future if enough people contact the developer asking for it.

Quad with ziggy kernel

I have been playing with some kernels. This is what can be obtained eith ziggy's kernel. And to think, until recently, je didn't even have a 3D. If the score is not clear it is 4447
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
EDIT: My bad, Mods, please move this to the Eternity thread in the CDMA development forum. Sorry, and thanks!
what is your current setup?rom, mods?, clock speed and governor?also, ive gotten great scores with ziggy's kernel as well but had a known issue of wake call ( where the phone is asleep and when someone would call, the phone screen would be black and not wakeup). This is a known issue and Virus has mentioned its kernel related. Virus has gotten Ziggy a Evo 3D, so hopefully he can correct this issue as his kernel is by far the best performing and battery life Ive tested.
Just a friendly reminder that this doesn't really belong here, it's more fitting in general, or even apps/themes.
That having been said, Ziggy's kernels were always really good on the OG 4g, but I have had nothing but problems with them on the Evo3D. I know he recently got the Evo so hopefully they'll improve, but even with the latest I'm getting issues with reboots, lockups (those are with it clocked to 1188, not OC'ed at all for testing purposes), and also the infamous 'unable to wake the screen on incoming call'. In other kernels that's a sign that 2 way recording is enabled, but I don't believe Ziggy's have that functionality.
I've also been able to achieve 4300/4400+ with Warm 2.3 and BCBlend 0.3.
How come Ziggy doesnt have his own thread with his kernels. Does he only want it on ViperRom or is there somewhere other than XDA where he has them.

Don't no, he did have a thread on the Evo 4G forums, but he stopped supporting it I think. He does have his own site for his kernels.

See, the only issue I have ever had was my screen going whacky as if though someone was pushing buttons all over the place. I re-applied he ROM over my existing setup and everything has been fine since then. Now, if we coold only find the common denominator.

Well technically the common denominator is Ziggy's kernels. I've had identical problems with them on multiple ROM's and two different Evo3D's.

[Q] Siyah vs entrophy

If im running CM7, am i better off using siyah or entrophy's kernel? I've read siyah recommends entrophy.
I mainly want to OC to 1.6. Possibly Undervolt.
Whats the difference between the two?
There are tons of threads on both kernels. Go do some homework.

neither specifically talk about what im asking. AND siyah recommends entrophy, but i know many still use entrophy. So really, im asking why he recommends it over his kernel that seems so popular.
Both kernels are good. They just have different ideas in mind about what they want from the kernel. I believe Siyah is geared more towards performance where Entropy is a good mixture of both. If you're looking for a fast kernel with amazing battery life, Entopy's DD is what you're looking for. Both are CWM compatible so it's literally a 2min swap. Easy enough to try them both to see which works better for you.
Try Sitropy, it's very good.
As the philosophy of this room, "this" is good for me, doesn't necessarily mean it's good for you and vice versa.
So, the recommendation is always "try them all" and select the best, and it is your best, not others' best.
Whats an Entrophy?
There are no Vs. threads. They re both good and they both work... however, they dont work ALL THE SAME for everyone, so you have to try them out to see which one works best for you.
Thread closed.

What Kernel do you prefer?

After trying a few, which kernel do you prefer and run as your normal kernel?
For me, I have to stick with Entropy's Daily Driver kernel. Its just rock solid for me and its nice to know that we have a dedicated kernel dev who is always looking to better his kernel and when there were some problems he went through his whole patch-a-day to try and pinpoint the issues and resolve them. My hats off to him.

Im with you. EDD is my fav.
they are both extremely solid. I slightly prefer Siyah only because I tend to get better battery life when combined with the "init.doh" scripts
+1 for Entropy... been rock in for weeks now with zero issues and great battery life. I am so excited to see what he has in store for us now that we have ics source.

We dont do "POST THE BEST ROM" threads. This is a poll to see what people run.
I am using Entropy and it has been rock solid. No freezes or anything. For me with Siyah I would have multiple lockups throughout the day that I had to reboot to get past. Granted I was using Siyah on cm7 though as that may make a difference.

The recovery menus with the siyah kernal are much more compact. It's annoying have to scroll through all the -NO- options when trying to flash something. Don't have to go through all that when you have the siyah kernel.
