Best kernal? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright I had to change it up and ask what the best miui kernal is?
Sent from my T959 using XDA App

IMHO , Streamline kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324212

I've always been really fond of platypus tbh, but I've been hearing really good things about streamline

Haven't been on MIUI or CM7 for a while, but when when I was Platypus was my kernel.

Glitch, smoothest and fastest.
I benchmarked against 3 other kernels.

I'm currently using MIUI Lithium 6.0 and love the smoothness and customisability of the ROM. The developer has chosen EB3 Streamline kernel due to some battery issues and it has been good so far (76% after 17h of light use). However, this has affected the quadrant score. I wonder if switching to Glitch might improve the performance and battery life?

There is no "best" IMO. Each phone will respond different to each situation. Also each kernel is tweak per each dev. Dev's build some for performance, battery, gps, stock(ish), or a combination.
Try then all and see what works for you - suggest the kernel cleaning script in between though.
For me:
My phone responds well to Platypus and Streamline, but my priority is stability and battery. I don't overclock (I under-volt though).

im running platypus but bali is also as good.

Kernals

Can anyone tell me what kernals are good for both speed and good battery life??
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It's really all a matter of preference!! There are a ton to choose from. I would say try a few and find what works best for you. I am using Bionix 1.3.1 with the KB1 + voodoo and it's great. Search the stickies on the android development section for different kernels. you can flash just the kernel. I have heard a lot of people have good experience with ka5 and ka7 with voodoo. Good luck!!
BTW...it's kernel not kernal. common mistake. : )

the best i can tell you is to get bionix-v-1.3.1 And Then Install Dead_Horse_221 Kernel...Thats The Best Combination....The Baterry And Data Is Grat..Gps Too...I tested mah Self...If Any Question Ask Me...There Are Some Things Yuh Need To Know if yuh wanna flash the Dead Horse Kernel...
I'm running the latest bionix with overstock. I only have edge where I live currently so that helps. My batteryleft widget reports near 40hrs of charge after 3 cycles
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm enjoying Bionix 1.3.1 w/overstock. I THINK there might be a better kernel out for battery but this combo has really made me happy and the batterylife isn't horrible, definitely manageable.
I have used All the roms and kernels. It really is preference
As far as kernels Dead horse and Overstock seem to work the best.
As far as roms, my experience has the roms as Axura, Trigger, and Bionix in that order as best. But you should try all out and find out for yourself
My stats are certainly a little biased. My phone stays forced on EDGE/2G only and because I am on campus nearly all day it stays in my pocket with the data turned off (XDA SuperPower) and it is scheduled to come on every 2 hours for 5 minutes to sync my data if I do not have it up and out for an extended period of time.
My normal use is also pretty sub-standard at maybe a few hours of browsing/streaming and listening to various scanners. If I really need to use data I just use WiFi from my home or campus.
As for ROMs I've tried the main ones you see on the Dev page (Axura, Trigger and Bionix-V) and they all have their ups and downs. I personally like TW's ROMs but would not hesitate to use the others for a change of pace (Trigger gave me a few wonky issues when running it with Dragon however).
Either way if you treat your phone nicely, the battery should return the favor assuming no funny hardware or app usage issues.
Stock=best battery

Kernel panic/Upload Mode message after installing Voodoo lagfix 3.0

OMG, I think I bricked my phone...
I have just intalled Voodoo-lagfix-3.0-SGH-T959-update.zip with Clockwork Recovery and after rebooting my phone is stuck at Kernel Panic/Upload Mode message. That happens after hearing some crazy robot voice talking something about ext4.
I was running a stable Bionic 1.3.1 before having this crazy idea.
I cant get my phone to recovery mode by pressin vol up, vol down a power buttons.
I have searched all the day for something in the xda forums and google but im not able to find any answer.
Is there any way to recover my phone? I dont care for any data.
Please help i'm desperate
Does it hurt to be that stupid? do a search for Odin and learn to use it. You'll have your phone back to normal in no time at all.

Thanks for the fast reply, vinnydakid
I have already used Odin to install Darky Rom in a Galaxy I9000 and Modafoca in a Galaxy I5000.
I have all the roms, ipt, adb file im my PC for Galaxy 959 (Vibrant) but I am little confused. I am a nobbie and I all know is to follow tutorials.
Can you give me a hand?

Thank you jneal9 !
It is working like a charm now! I though I had bricked my phone for a while but the problem was how to start the phone in download mode.
Sdobron, I downloaded the last lagfix available in voodoo website for Vibrant but didnt realize this was too old.
Thanks everybody. I am going to read more before flashing something.
BTW, wich custom rom do you guys recommend? I am looging for speed and battery saving...
The best roms out now are trigger and bionix for 2.2. I'd recommend trying those with bali kernel (the UV version, if your phone can handle it).
Also, make sure you're converted back to ext4 partitions from voodoo.

No problem. Thanks really go to s15274n for the fantastic guide though.
As for good roms. I like to try them all but seem to keep coming back to Bi-Winning V2 combined with the Bali kernel. It has given me the best battery life of any rom I've used and it's just as fast as any other. Good luck.

How do I know if my partitions are converted back from voodoo?
I got Trigger 3.2 final with [email protected] #3 kernel according to my phone settings. I will look for this bali kernel and if my phone can handle it.
Thanks Sdobron, jneal9 and s15274n
OM, think I am lost again.. So many files and I dont know what to pick:
Current:
Bali v1.8.5 uncapped
Bali v1.8.5 capped
Bali v1.8.5UV uncapped
Archives:
Bali v1.8.4 [FPS uncapped]
Bali v1.8.4 [FPS capped]
Bali v1.8.3 [FPS uncapped]
Bali v1.8.3 [FPS capped]
Bali v1.8.2
Will try learning on the search button...
Maybe start out with the 1.8.5 uncapped or UV. The uncapped one removes the FPS cap, but some phones get flickery screens when uncapped. If you don't, you're set. If you get flickery screen, switch to the capped or the UV. The UV one has lower CPU voltages and although the battery on the capped and uncapped are still great, it should give a bit better battery life.

I ve finished installing Biwinning v2 and Bali 1.8.5 uncapped because of your comments
Everything went fine and there is no flicks in the screen at the moment.
The only thing I dislike about this rom is that keyboard feedback was a lot faster before in Triger rom, almost instantaneous. Any mod for that?

Did some tweaks in swype settings: No auto spacing, no box suggesting words, fast speed and no precision.
It`s not as fast as Triger default keyboard but 60-70% better.
Hope anyone knows something else.

Fascinate CM7 standby battery drain

So i have a verizon fascinate and am currently running cm7. (first tried the stable release but niw a nightly). Im eeally liking cm, but since i got it my battery life is garbage. Basically the drain seems to come from either the android os sercice or cell standby. Whenever i leave my phone inactive for a while, when i wake it up the battery has dropped a lot and tge phone is very warm. I have been modding this phone for a while, but im no android programmer. Purely based on the forum searchi. G ive done on the issue, it seemsblike cm7 has an issue with my modem or radio.
Extra info: my 3g/2g signals seem fine (always 0% time without signal). Wifi connectivity seems fine. Im also running glitch's kernal altho the problem has persisted with and without it (i did do a kernel cleaning first). I used the "go from anything to jb vanilla" guide cuz i was having issues switching to mtd at first (sry dont have a link rite now but it was on xda) . I get occassional force closes, but not really a problem. When i did a titanium back up, the very first time i flashed cm7 i Did restore system settings, but i did not do that every time since then. Ive done a fresh flash of the stable mod around 3 times trying different stuff, but this one is niggtly as i said, and each has had this issue.
If looked around a lot, and wgile this seems common, no one has posted a consistent solution or explanation to the problem, so thats what im looking for.

You could flash jt's vanilla gb rom. That has good battery life.

I have had the standby battery drain on every CM7 version and Kernel tried so far including 7.1 stable,7.0 nightlies,JT's Vanilla,and PoolParty. It's even worse if I shut phone down and don't plug in. It will drop 50 to 75% overnight with phone not on?
Has done it with undervolting,overclocking,and voltage control not even installed. This is first time I have seen others having similiar issues.
I think this is a known issue for all MTD roms on the fascinate, if I'm not mistaken.

I lose only 5% to 10% overnight on CM7 never really notice how much on MIUI cause I never ran it long enough. I guess every phone would behave differently for MTD's or maybe you have an app or mulitple ones that refreshes frequently(Fancy Widget comes to mind).
Well that really sucks, because i do enjoy cm7. But this also means if i go back to a touchwiz configuration like stock dl09 i shouldnt have these issues right?
But before that, has anyone who had these issues tried anything (ie kernels or maybe standby mode power conservation setting, etc... ) that have at least noticeably improved your battery life? Right now mines pretty unbearable (im talking 8hrs while on but totally inactive), but if i can get it up a little i might b able to manage.

I am also experiencing poor battery life. I just flashed 7.1.0 yesterday and absolutely love it. Was using com rom for a few months, but a friend said to try out cwm 7. I used to get about 6 - 8 hours of Pandora while at work and today I only got about 4 before my phone shut off. I'm going to try completely killing battery and charge with phone off tonight an see if it's any better tomorrow.
Any other suggestions? I'm not a noob when it comes to custom roms and flashing (I used to flash the **** out of my G1) but there may have been something I over looked when switching to cwm7. I wiped everything a few times before flashing including battery stats and dalvic.
My battery life is actually really good. Running latest nighty, undervolted -75 across the board,stock kernel, and no overclocking.
Just can't figure why I lose 50-75% of battery overnight when phone is shut down and not charging?
I have the same issue with CM7.1, turning phone of at 80% battery at night to find it at 25% at morning
Is there knows solution?

[Q] Running Hot - Any suggestions?

My first time posting here, so please be gentle.
I've had my SGS2 for around 6 months now, its an unlocked ASIA (as I live in BKK). I noticed on the original stock firmware that the phone was running hot, as in the back panel around the camera would heat up to the point I could feel it in my pocket. This would normally happen if I was using a game like angry birds, or a psx emulator. But sometimes it would happen in the browser under normal conditions. I just thought this may be a issue with dual core phones, so I took this as a 'feature' and accepted it.
But now lots of people I work with have this phone, and it came up in conversation about heat. Everyone stated they do not have this issue, that the phone remains cool all the time.
I have moved between many different ROMs, and have finally stuck with Westcrips ICS ROM. Then a strange thing happened, the heat issue goes away with version 8.4. Phone is cool all the time, even playing my PSX emulator in software mode. Battery also increased from 12 hours to 16-18 hours.
But now I just moved up to 9.3, and its back again, the front screen is very hot to touch when using things like the MX video player, or surfin the web. And if I launch a game ... well, forget about it. The battery drain is immense to, be lucky if I pull an hour of use like that.
Anyone else suffer from this? Hardware fault? I can't take it back because my flash counter is probably in the 20's now, and I can't find a reset JIG in Bangkok.
Cheers.
FYI, I always do a clean wipe, dalvik / cache / permissions.
same issued here, phone bought from Thailand also. Phone getting hot when browser,downloading and playing some games( not all). And its really hot
Changing Rom and kernel sometimes solved it for awhile but eventually will come back.
Looking for solution also
Thanks
P/s: right now im using LA4 stock Rom and CF root LA4 kernel and still get hot

Thanks for getting back to me.
The one I know that fixes it is Resurrection 8.4. Its a dam good rom, and given me the best battery life (once I got 20 hours with normal use). But there is an issue with touch screen sensitivity that makes it annoying.
Maybe its something to do with the Kernel on the Asian models?
If I find a fix I'll pm you.
Hmmm mine only gets uncomfortably hot when playing some 3d games. Didn't experience the same level of heat when just browsing though... It just gets a little warm but far from gaming temps.
What i did was undervolt and underclock when playing. It did reduce the heat and extend the battery though i admit it's not the best solution / workaround.

I use Tegrak Overclock so I can mess with clocks and voltages with the stock kernel. See below for my settings... 100% stable on my phone.

Well it looks like the ICS kernel is not supported right now under Tegrak. It is bleeding edge.
I tried setCPU to under clock but ended up with a lot of slow down and some full system freezes.
Guess its back to 8.4 until I find a more definitive answer.

Since you're using Westcrip's Resurrection Remix, you can get rid of the triangle by using Chainfire's TriangleAway app - I'm using Resurrection too and it got rid of the flash counter and the triangle.
TriangleAway should work on all ICS roms though.
Strange, installed triangle away yesterday evening. Work like a charm, so I guess if I need to return I can now.

Best ROM to replace myn cmda?

I've been on myns247 ROM forever but am having constant problems with the touch screen with this ROM (and a lot of other Roms as well). Anyways looking for a replacement with the following features.
Long press volume to skip tracks.
Right button on rosie can be custom.
Five row app drawer and non pages scrolling.
No touchscreen issues.
I've tried z3d and liked it for the most part but no volume to change tracks and still had touch screen issues.
I've also tested the digitizer and had my screen replaced recently so its software related.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
As for your screen problems....have you updated your firmware to the latest version?
Also ZR3D does allow for volume button track skip. There is a toggle to turn this on/off in Leedrooid/ZR3D tweaks.
Yeah I updated the firmware. Didn't know about being able to toggle leroid tweaks volume mod though.

I always stick to stock best battery life and smooth... Nothing wrong with custom but I am not one for over clockin..
When the source code comes out will make moddin kernels better and more stable..
But a phone is a phone lol.. Not a computer... So if you want a fast thing snag a computer If you push a phone to much you will burn it up... A computer can handle more due to fans and cooling system you can add. But pushing a phone will shorten it's life..
HTC didn't knock the cpu down because they wanted it to run slower or anything like that.. It's what ran best at the factory for battery life and stable issues..
