[Q] Siyah vs entrophy - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

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.

[Q] New owner, what is the best ROM available?

Which ROM out there has the best support and the least flaws? I know none will be perfect but I would like a ROM that is fast,stable, and has optimal battery life. I know i could use the V6 Supercharger to make a ROM faster but I would like to know what ROM you guys recommend? Thanks
For the 10 billionth time: It's really up to you to figure this out. Considering that there's only 4 custom ROMs available (for the 7510), I think you are capable of doing the research yourself.

Which version are you using ?
"In Paris V5"IS LIVE! (KME) Wifi ONLY!
I´m rly happy with this one.
What the best stock Rom so far regarding smoothness and speed ?
Sorry for hijacking ur thread

I'm going to second the in paris v5, I just rooted and flashed and couldn't be happier. There is one clich that I found and that is on some web pages in browser it will not let you go back with the back arrows, small problem but so far the only one I see.
Task650 makes the best ROM.

check out the dev. forums, do a little research. If your asking you shouldn't be flashing roms really. All v6 supercharger does in most cases is mess things up
So avoid flashing supercharger? It doesn't take a computer genius to flash a ROM, I just don't have the time to flash every ROM and mess with it, thanks for the positive responses though.

I have yet to see any real proof that the supercharger script actually makes this thing better. I have flashed and run all of the different ROMs, and its really up to you as far as look and feel are concerned.
As far as support goes, I will say that Task and Phantom has been great in keeping us bug free, but I have not interacted with the other devs as much, and so I won't knock their Roms because I can't say what their level of support is.
Happy Flashing
Overcome is good too
I will say that I like both in Paris and Overcome. In Paris has a custom theme which I'm not fond of but you can install the touchwiz theme over it if you prefer. I like Overcome because it is the stock honeycomb theme.
It's really a rather personal choice so you do have to try more than one to decide.

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.

Weren't all these threads nuked before?
Entropy always, but if I wanted something experimental I tried Siyah.

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.

Siyah 2.6.7 is by far the best kernel for performance and battery life

i use Entropy's. I've had the best luck with it. However, I do like the Siyah recovery menus much better.
I always use siyah.

if you mean CWM rec menus, Entropy brought the latest one in recent DDs.
Entropy since day 1.

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.

Battery life results

I apologize for I know that similar threads have been created but the last one is fairly old. I have mostly been running AOKP for the last few weeks but I recently tried out serendipity- I'll say that I do prefer an AOSP style rom over a samsung rom. I do like customization but battery life is a priority to me. Can someone please give some input to what rom/kernal/governors are being used to maximize battery life?
There is no simple answer to this question. All Kernels and ROMs are good - please refer to Entropy's battery drain thread for common issues affecting battery drain.
Some kernels however offer UV ability e.g. Siyah which allows u more flexibility.
Having said this I saw about the same battery life on most of the ICS roms I tried.
I am currently evaluating custom GB roms to see if the battery life is better.
Aokp and fluxxi. Pegasuq governor or something like that. Don't expect any other help from people. Smh

Thank you, I will try the fluxi kernel. I know i'm most likely only to receive an open-ended answer at best. It's just that honestly I have tried different combinations on my own without too much success

Sure that works for you but other kernels/governors are better for other people. That's what we're trying to get at so there's no need for a smh.

Yeah I understand that, it's just you would think that several people might say "woah hey this particular kernel has amazing bettery life!" But apparently that is not the case...

we've trained most not to say crap like that. its all dependent on user, apps, and device.
just play with them, find one that works best for you and your setup.

What kernel to use?

Probably get this a lot, but I'm having trouble deciding what kernel to use.
Reason I want to change is that the current kernel 'litepro 3.2' uses 20.8% of my battery, isn't this quite high? If it is normal then I won't try another.
I am running liteningrom 3.6 atm.
I did search but couldn't find another thread regarding this.
Here's a list of latest kernels I've found

Try a bunch of kernels out till you find one that works well for you. Easy to do with CWM given how quick it is to flash/backup/restore. You won't have exactly the same experience with a given kernel as someone else due to different phone setup, different usage patterns & so on.

No one can tell you which kernel to use. Preference for ROM/kernel/theme/whatever is a subjective thing. Try out a kernel. If you like it, keep using it. If you don't, or if you are having issues with it, change to another one. A kernel that works well for me or someone else may not work well for you.

Siyah vs. Boeffla

Hi Guys,
I know we all hate the "What is the best..." threads. But after searching for answers on Siyah and Boeffla, I still can't make a decision on which kernel to use. I've previously used Siyah but recently I've seen a lot of power users start jumping ship to Boeffla. I'd like to get some feedback on folks who've used both kernels and the reason why they prefer one over another. What are the pros and cons of both kernels?
Thanks guys!

Siyah the best kernel so far. I tried everyone and afterwards i was back to Siyah, and STweaks just godlike. Boefla freezes my phone after 30min of using.

I thought Boeffla was meant to be a stable kernel without overclocking. Is it the kernel for sure?
Thread closed. The best way to find out what works best for you is to try them. What works best for someone else might not work best fior you.
