Hello everybody, I'm opening the thread just to read opinions from you all about the kernels that are currently available.
The one I've been using is void #echo, which in my humble opinion with the combination of a tweaked deadline scheduler and a lionheart governor provides great performance, battery life and minimum lag whatsoever.
I do understand that it depends on needs which shall be used, however, I would like to know which one to you guys works smoother and provides better performance / battery life.
I always aim for performance over battery life (I didn't buy a SGSII to get poor performance )
In terms of battery life, I can get it up to 22~23 hours on battery, using WCDMA only / HSPA+ during day and enabling airplane mode during night.
Fast Dormancy disabled and deep sleep working correctly (XXKL1).
I don't like the complexity of siyah and to be good on batt you have to tweak it more with UV and thing like that ,wish is not my style to make trying/errors on my brand new 600$phone !
I tried speed mod wish is very great actually with great overall perform
void echo is the one Im trying right now ! since 2 days its feel very strong and good on battery with good performance on games without getting the phone very hot
neak is good but its more a copy/past of the overall coders over wish is good in one sense but its a bit laggy in game with lucrative mod but defenatly one of my favorite kernel out there ! Im waiting for 1.3 to let simone correct some bugs
Siyah is the tweakers' heaven. You can fine tune every last bit of your phone.
I personally love void, it feels very fast and has good battery life.
I tried NEAK for a short time and it seemed fine but quite many report lag in games(using on demand governor seems to fix it though).
Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm waiting for N.E.A.K 1.3x too

as one of the posts above said siyah is the tweakers heaven..haha trust me i never used it before as i thought it was to complicated. but once you have done your reading and read other peoples posts and what they do to get the best out of the kernel you have a winner...all the rest look good i am not saying anything bad but for me from now on any rom i use siyah is coming with me due to the fact it has so many options to it and so much i can play around with i am in heaven
hope that helps...oh and on a side note i have been tempted to upgrade to a different rom but the current base i am using and with the kernel i have and the settings that i am using the only time i will actually jump ship is if one there is a stable cm9 out there by the amazing team hacksung. Two if Gokhanmoral does a siyah kernel for cm9 which i think will be when kernel sources are made available and three cause i have already my voodoo app all configured with my poweramp player to get the best sound possible i would be foolish to make the step at this moment of time...
So my advice for battery speedmod if you are not into tweaking alot with voltages and clock frequencies and if you want the best of both worlds then siyah
siyah 2.6.4.

Great feedback bro, I tried Siyah in the past but honestly when I used it I didn't know there were parameters to tweak (didn't check the REF documentation LOL).
Do you get smoother behavior / better performance / higher benchmark scores tweaking the parameters? In quadrant I get around 4604 with void.echo.
as my "personal" opinion...
since i instaled V3RTR3MA.V.4.0 rom, i've been using void#echo
couldn't ask for more its fast and stable... nothing too complicated and i could get 8186 in the quadrant benchmark... a really great kernel...
void echo.By far best kernel for common user,who doesn't want to do all kind of tweaks&stuff.By default is great.If you are into a litle tweaking, you can OC and UV without any issues.
I used it since it was released.No issues at all, battery friendly, great performance.
Trully a KISS principle follower.
My personal advice to all,avoid all roms&kernels that are heavily customized and have alot of useless "tweakes" and scripts on them.The more things on it, more chances of breaking up.
Look for simple builds,as close as it can be to stock,eye candy is not performance.
Jkay makes great themes wich you can apply to the rom.

100% agree most of the battery better and greater speed for these kernels is actually unproven and just advertising bumf .
I have used the kernels listed in the topic and in each case stock kernel has benchmarked better using multiple tests .

I agree with your opinion, and that's the reason why I use only Sammy Stock ROMs
I've flashed a number of roms and kernels in the past few months since May, best combination for me is usually a near stock rom, plus a stable kernel like Speedmod, they just work without needing any tweaking apart from custom set up that's it.
I don't generally like the number of tweaks in some roms but each to their own.
I find stock fine and fluid and stable enough without much problems.
Yeah..i get 6500+ without rawr and oc to 1600.you forget one thing,ALL other kernels have tweaked I/O scheduler enabled. Knzo says very clear in his thread.it's a way to cheat,that's why this tweak is not default on his kernel.
About rom,look for odexed.tornado2 by brotuck is one of the best around(odexed,pretty much stock,only useless apps removed from it).combined with jkay theme and coid echo...my s2 flies

Thanks for the suggestion dude! I'll take a look to it! Beside the removal of stock apps, what tweaks are included to achieve that score?
Best kernel so far for me is hardcore's speedmod.
Fast, first time I broke the 6000 barrier on Antutu benchmark without overclock. And great battery life, one full day + charging only by the end of day two, with normal use.
Normal use for me is making phone calls, surfing web and playing games sometimes, not more than 20min per "session". Turning wifi and 3g off when phone on standby. And switching to airplane mode overnight.
And yes I tried other kernels....

I have been using void echo kernel these past few days. But I switched to Speedmode because of an issue. My phone gets very hot once I backup my nand on CWM. Also sometimes when I play games. Do you guys have this issue too?

Everyone's got an opinion on the "Best" rom, I just wanted to see which rom the forum thinks is the most stable with everything working.
I've tried lots of them and cant decide.
Obviously, it is Wolfbreak's rom. hands down.
T.A.E.M rom is great i think its better then wolfbreak's rom
Sent from my X10i or HD2 or Milestone XT720 or Samsung Galaxy S or Samsung Galaxy S2
In my opinion, on the sum of parameters, now the best ROM is ThGo2, v10
MIUI is best...
I have found Oodie's CM ROM has been great
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384147
Battery life is good as is the stability.
for further stability, any stock se 2.3.3 rom ( locked and unlocked bootlaoder)
custom:
miui- oodies light version, also i used tripndroid rom which was pretty stable as well..u can find this one in modaco
cm7- zmods 2.3.5

ohh you're damn right. for me, that is the best of the best. REALLY THE BEST.
@deckerm, if you want a recommendation from me, try ThGo2. There is a new version, the v13, but a bootmanager kernel needs to be fixed. but there's a stable version of the rom, just look at it, and you will look happy.
but for the majority of the people here in the forum, Wolfbreak's rom is the one.
but for me, hands down. ThGo2 rom. ^^
I like EWJet, its super fast and everything is working great!

Stock rom: Wolf, ThGo2 and ... ----- stable and can be fast with custom kernel
cm rom: FXP is ****ing fast, MIUI has greate UI.
For long term stability, Wolf is the rom. T.E.A.M. is good, too. Currently using prime, no problems except the ones I create. Any rom must settle some and although our phones are X10, they can react differently to the same rom. For your poll, Wolf will probably be on top.
I totally agree!! For me Wolf's Rom gives me best stability & fastest Gingerbread Rom I tried so far!!!
Only thing I regret is not having anything to flash no more :'(
Great Rom!!!!
Sent from my X10 using Wolf's Gingerbread UB
I like TEAM.
I started to have stability problems with Wolf's rom after 1.5 mo of use w/o flashing (stuck on start-up after reboot, stuck in airplane mode). I switched over to TEAM for the last 3 mo. and no stability problems and speed is good. Then again everyone's phone reacts differently due to settings & apps, so I say try one, and if it doesn't work, try another.
MIUI Prime for me the best rom I had before. Very stable, nice and long battery life (about 3-5 days with 2G only, synch off, brightness 40%).
Oodies CM7 for me. Great battery life and smooth running.
wolf's ROM does not really give the best battery life possible.... I'm still looking for a ROM that can give best battery life.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Probably not but I don't think that any Rom can make my battery last much longer!! My battery normally lasts about a day, while heavy usage!! I Also calibrated it.
If you want your battery to last for a long time, I'd suggest to buy a larger battery, that's just my opinion.

Totaly agree im a cyanogenmod guy because i like the twaeks and extras and overall i don´t like wolfs WLAN instability for me again and again WLAN rips of deactivate its selfs and so on... additional if you using ttorrent you can forget wolfs rom also MUIU Prime because WLOD.
Needles to say that Wolfbreak and Oodie did a ****ing great job on this rom´s but i don´t like how MUIU looks like Iphone or BADA. Because why did we buy an android device? because it has to look like ab Iphone? Well...
FXP 7.2 is very stable and if ya a gamer... well the quadrant score for me with 245- 1037 with governor Interactiv was over 1300
many great games run smooth for example: Dead speace for android, Thirdblade and asphalt 5 runs great lags are possible yeah but very rare

All,
I've been messing around with a couple of ROMs and still a bit undecided on which ROM to stick with. I would love ICS but not necessarily if its not stable.
Any preference?
Thanks for any info.
Galaxy Task will be my choice if not ICS.

I'm on task 10 as it meets my daily needs and plenty fast with over 3000 on benchmark OC'[email protected] 1.4. I'm lag free
Give Overcome 2.2.0 a shot... not a lot of people use his rom but i find it far more stable over all of them... ive used all of task's roms and the ICS roms and at the end of the day i much prefer Overcome 2.2.0... i find that more stuff works the way it should and have less glitchy bugs that most people dont even know were bugs to begin with... my $0.02
side note (2 things)
If you go with overcome 2.2.0 you can use pershoot's kernels
just so everyone knows... benchmarks have 0 (zero) meaning... all tabs are different (every single tab 10.1 is different)
Daily use rom
I use Overcome 2.2.0 rom.. have tried all the task roms as well but have found the overcome roms more responsive.....
same here overcome 2.2 so far works for me. Very responsive stable and fast
Have had great luck with Task 13.1; loaded right when it was introduced. I like that it is slimmed down to bare bones. It's fast, stable, and, well, slim. Pared with Pershoot's latest kernel; have suffered zero FCs. Plus, like all of the good long-time developers here, Task is very responsive to questions.

If you're rooted with a custom kernel I think 1.92 is the fastest so far.
I'm running at 1.83. Smooth, fast, and bug free. Da_G's OC/Root kernel.

runs great but i have noticed my battery dies really fast , may be how i have it set up , but i noticed from 6am to about 6pm today it was about dead , down to 20% with little use , no calls just email and so on ,
so i need some tips on how to set it all up , but other wise it is nice in , running 3700+ on the qud test !

Ya man that's no problem...i run my mega the same way, as I find its much faster and smoother at max clock on performance governor. Just so you know, this is not over clocking, since your on stock kernel you cannot actually over clock a stock kernel..i am putting together a custom kernel that you can over clock, I'm just finding the sweet spot, and will be releasing it soon. Prolly clocked around 1.9 or 1.85 ish. So far in my testing it had the mega running extremely fast.

Wouldn't having your CPU running full steam be a problem ...heat issues and instability .. The min shouldn't be the same as maximum... And performance gov does what exactly.

No...not at all...In fact the note 3 comes stock with its cpu at max clock and min clock with an on demand governor, so anytime your doing anything really your running max clock. The mega runs much much cooler than the note 3 so there is no issue, not to mention these are only the max recommended clock speed by manufacturer, which are typically under estimated between 25 and 50%.
The only real factor that could cause any problem at all is heat. If your device were to overheat to some extreme then you could have a problem but other than heat it's perfectly safe, and very effective for performance increase. Not to mention there are typically 3 protocols built in to safe your device from any harm from overheating, a screen dim, reboot, and shut down. And I'm only talking about setcpu on stock setting it at max clock for stock kernel...then we get into over clocking which if you under clock will know, the only downside to over clock is diminished battery life but it's a trade off for performance. But to be honest I only lose about 45 mins on my note 3 at max clock of 2.3 ghz and about 30 mins screen on time with my mega at max 1.7 ghz. But I have several devices the i either carry or develop for and each of them I run performance gov and max clock speed, and have never once had a problem doing this on stock kernel and always see major improvement in speed. For instance my i9205 megas probably saw the biggest speed and smoothness boost from this setup of all my other phones and note tablets. Your mega will run nearly identical to a note 3 fir transition animations and browser loading by sticking at max clock. And I still get 4.5 to 5 hours on screen time a day minimum.
Lastly, governors...In a very basic definition (I suggest you google is schedulers and kernel cpu govs) are basically the controller commands for the cpu and gpu. On all of my devices I run max clock speed for both min and max set to the highest, with performance governor. The performance gov literally just keeps the cpu at max throttle vs varying the clock speed. The scheduler (like cf, deadline ect) controls the flash memory aand the optimal io setting varies by device...of my devices each have different in schedulers that they run best on, just test your device with each.
Now it gets tricky as stock usually has 3 io schedulers and about 6 to 10 governors. Custom kernels on the other hand will add all kinds of customized govs and io controllers. Just google this if interested, will make a world of difference for the performance on your device.
Mega
Oh I know been over and underclocking and io scheduling and governing for a long time I just never used performance because I've seen problems with it in the past for others. I was just curious of what you knew about performance gov. And to see if I could get a different perspective from you which I did so thanx for that. With my under clocking it seems I still get great performance and battery life, probably isn't even really that much better but I will consider trying out some overclocking on the mega.Overclocking was always good to me with my other devices.Just started under clocking for some reason lol cheerz:beer:

Shayne...what issues have you heard of running performance gov? There's actually a bit of evidence and school of thought that running at optimal performance is better for the hardware as it more efficiently performs tasks in a shorter period of time. Plus the fact that my devices all run cooler once the initial burst happens...typically around 8 degrees lower than when using a fluctuating gov. If you research on xda performance gov you'll see plenty of info. But the difference in performance is actually quite a lot to be honest. This is the same effect that intel use when implementing turbo over clocking...it performs said function faster allowing for regulation of temp and other parameters quicker than varying the clock to try and run the same task which means more strain on the cpu and higher temps. While it may sound and bit backwards at first once you run it at see what I'm talking about it makes much more sense. But on stock kernel unless you have and faulty device there is absolutely no issue or danger whatsoever...your our more than likely referring to running max over clock on a custom kernel that exceeds the threshold for a given hardware and causes overheating and in turn some other issues.

Tbh you really don't even need to do this, as without a baseline for what is standard or what is nominal for the mega and the krait 400 architecture you'll see a number with zero context. A better number to follow is your battery temp which is displayed in set cpu under info amd batter stats...that will run while at max clock around 87 degrees which is extremely cool. Highest I've ever seem mine is 91...whereas my note 3 without max clock is 95 lol. Max clock on the mega is extremely safe especially on stock kernel. Even my custom kernel I'm test running at 1.9 ghz only hits 94 degrees. Just fyi

I am new to all of this so I am just starting out. All I have done is root the phone with Odin and started messing with the cpu speeds.
How can I take the processor beyond the 1.7ghz? What level is safe etc?

You can't take it past 1.7 ghz...at least not until I release my custom kernel. As of yet there are no custom kernels for the mega. But to be honest if you set it up how I told you...Max clock and performance Gov with cfq setting for the io the mega will be extremely fast and smooth. As for safe over clock levels...I'm currently testing my kernel on my mega as we speak and it's running 1.92 ghz but I have to do more testing before the alpha release.

What do I need to do to install a kernel? (Not sure what it is!)
Also, I am using Titanium to back up my phone, what do I need to back up?

I used to over clock my note,evo,hero and now the mega would be great. So your saying you set it to 1.7 with performance and cfq"which I use "...I'm gonna run it like that for a while. Hey and good I'm very glad to see a kernel dev around here. Is it going to be for tw. Or cm or both. Good job and yeah I was thinking about overheat issues with overclocking my bad ..I've been around for a while and had a ignorant moment touche:beer:

Dude there are no kernels for you to install...There is no custom kernels available that's why I'm building one lol...and Google cwm or twrp titanium backup is only for apps
Mega
I understand that there are none to download and install. How would I do it when they are available?
What software shpuld I use to back the phones stock rom if it all goes wrong?

Cwm or twrp will make a backup for you on your ext sd if you make a mistake....as for kernel everyone says install kernel after the ROM has settled but me personally just flash ROM...gapps...then kernel and boot up....everyone has there ways...some peoples even flash ROM 2times in a row which I do sometimes

Hahaha no worries man its happens to the best of us lol...Yea you'll see a huge improvement on the mega running it like that...I'm actually surprised that there's as little development as there has been for such an amazing device. Hopefully I can get the first build out by next week before classes start back...but the stock mj2 kernel j's really fast and smooth...But yea the kernel will be touchwiz based.

Gotcha .I'll try it with Cassie's ROM once released .. If you need some testing I gotcha ...
