Okay I've been seeing a few post about it now but I've been running Shostock2 3.0.5 with the Siyah Kernel.
I tried the Cherry picker for 2 days didn't like it for some reason.... Maybe I was biased based on the fact I came from Shostock 1.9.4 GB + Siyah and LOVED IT. But I guess it was time to cross the dark side and join the ICS fanboi's......
First, I wanted to say EVEN when I was on the ShoStock2 3.0.5 AND now currently 3.1.0 (Flashed Today about 30 mins ago....) People are having issues trying to OC to 1.6..... For me, not gonna happen it'll crash and just reboot. I've tried it muliple times and just doesn't work. New Install, Wipe Everything... NO GO for 1.6gHz.
I ran the phone smoothly so far on 1.5 prior to this, I had the phone very steady and stable with running 1.4.
Is anyone else experiencing the same? I know someone told me Not all phones are the same and just because someone else can doesn't mean your phone can.... I find it odd sense it's the same hardware and Setup. But hey, I'm not a tech or developer...
Anyways any feedback?

Whoever told you this is correct. Even though our ATT SGSIIs all have the same Exynos C210 chipset, the chips themselves are not identical. Slight variances in the manufacturing process are inevitable and, in part, account for the varying degrees of tolerance that we see for overclocking and undervolting. My ATT Samsung Captivate was perfectly stable when OC'ed to 1.6 ghz. A LOT of people couldn't get above 1.2-1.3 ghz while still maintaining acceptable stability.
I'm on SHOStock2 3.1.0 (been running all the latest SHOStock2 builds since release and always with the most recent Siyah kernel) and I never OC beyond 1.4 ghz. I, personally, have never see any noticable performace gains on my phone when running at higher clock speeds, and the phone is significantly less stable. OC/UV settings are always YMMV.
Thanks for the reply...
Someone had replied to me in another one of my posted threads. You can check my recent post on that thread.
Anyways, I updated to 3.1.0 but then I just revert back to the 3.0.5 instead. For some reason I felt that it was better. Plus I was tired of getting the Shell notifications.....
Yes, I know I can go into SU and change the settings but I wanted to make sure that nothing was fishy going on so I wanted to see notifications.
So I'm currently on ShoStock2 3.0.5 + Latest Siyah + LE5 Modem. As far as I'm concern, it runs very smooth and has pretty decent battery life =) I have My and my Wifey's phone I can mess with (Hers is also a S2) But again thanks for the reply.
i did a dirty flash of 3.1 over 3.0.5 and i kept getting freezes when plugging in the AC adapter and also screen-off freezes. I assumed it had to do with the kernel change (i did not disable setcpu first) so i went to recovery and wiped cache and davlik, froze on boot. So i did a complete wipe and flashed the rom clean... once i made any change to the kernel (OC, UC, UV, changed governor, flashed new kernel) i would get stuck in a bootloop. even my nandroid of 3.0.5 seem buggered which really doesnt make sense.
Did a full wipe again and flashed unoriginal for the time being, not sure if it's my device or the ROM (most likely something ive done, lol)

What rom do you like using and what kernel do you like to pair it with. What gives best performance, battery life, and stability. Das Bamf (unthemed), Lighting Rom (Light), Virus, boLTEd. Hoping to find something good. Thanks.
i keep adding little changes to my setup, but i dont see a rom replacing it any time soon
Das BAMF 1.2
Ziggy's 4/6 kernel at 1497/328 smartass gov
Imoseyon's tweaks
sk806 Power Control Widgets
lovin it..
Do you notice a difference with Imoseyons tweaks
The Thunderbolt having been released so soon, and knowing how development cycles tend to run, I don't really think enough time has elapsed yet for significantly divergent branches to have occured. As time goes by I think that each of the ROMS (and new ones, of course) will offer a more robust and distinct set of features.

i did when I first flashed them, now they're just there and it runs like a champ...i'll add them again when/if I switch roms..
So far I've tried Virus RC1B3 with ziggy's newest kernel (4/6/11), and now I'm on to the perfect storm V1.2 also with ziggy's latest kernel. Both are good. Snappy when compared to stock thats for sure. I ran stock deodexed for a few days to get a baseline.
With CWR in the picture... try a little bit of everything... you can always recover back to whatever you were on. Thats my plan at this point
You just flash in recovery? Wipe cache and davlik?
I like das BAMF quite a bit, it seems to be headed in the direction of being the premiere customer Thunderbolt ROM, but MAN is it reboot-y in it's current state. I've reformatted/wiped everything, but the second I try to overclock in the slightest, I'll get random reboots/screen lockups pretty much constantly. This can be easily reproduced by quickly sleeping/waking a few times, or often by just letting the phone sleep naturally then trying to wake it.
When put to stock voltage it DOES seem to behave a lot better, my question is do I somehow have a non-overclockable T-Bolt, or is there something likely screwed up with the latest radio/kernel/ROM or whatever? I can downgrade back to a Nandroid backup no problem but if the problem's with the radio, for example, that's not gonna help.
I had some problems with the stock kernel on BAMF 1.6 remix screen seemed to get less responsive after a while. Changed Kernels seems to have helped.
What Kernel did you switch to? I'm not sure if BAMF has the same Kernel issues the Droid did when using custom ROMS (i.e. the ROM has to play nice with the Kernel by design or you run into problems)
I am a big fan of these kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021404
I have not had any reboot issues with any of them though I do seem to get one reboot always when I change kernels or ROMS while I am setting things up. Maybe Radio I don't know but after that one it does not happen again.
Brilliant, seems to be working a LOT better. Anyone else dealing with random reboots definitely check this out
each phone is different in how it handles the kernels. i would just try out a bunch and see what plays nice with your phone. my thunderbolt can handle the extremely undervolted roms as well as the one's that are overclocked high. my friends though, cant. it is all about trial and error. i would just backup before you do anything though, just in case.
Yea. I'm using the minimal kernel - normal with BAMF re-mix 1.6, and so far, no reboots at all. (hope I did not just jinx myself).

+1 on these kernels. I used the normal and the 192x version of this kernel on Bamf's rom and no reboots.
I had a bricked SGA returned under warranty - I am assuming they jigged it as I could not even get it to DL mode. (have bought a jig - happy now)
Phone comes back from carphonewarehouse with the following installed
Android 2.3.3
S5830XWKP6 Base
Gingerbread.XWKPU Build
[email protected]#1 Kernal
rather than the old stock Android 2.1.1
Quadrant Score of 1050 - it faster that a galaxy S
It appears to be a stock rom - no scripts or enhancement running - even had to root it with upd_1.zip
Can I install supercharger or A2SD to give it a bit more zip or do I have to use a different kernal as well.
Thank in advance for advice given.
There is a bug with Quadrant which boosts the results with Gingerbread.
The brand new Galaxy Gio of my father which came with 2.3.3 preinstalled had a Quadrantscore of 1083, which doesn't say anything.
A2SD won't give you any great performance boosts, only more space for apps.
Check out the development section, there are plenty of ways, including whole Custom ROMs.
Tap-a-talked from my Galaxy Ace
Thanks for the reply.
I know about the bug with quadrant and I have tried other roms already here.
It just that I installed KPN because KPU is not listed on samfirmware except as a T-Mobile rom for Poland with a different kernal, and got a quadrant score of 575 which was expected - and I reinstalled a nand backup of the KPU rom installed by carphonewarehouse which got the 1050 score and the phone was visibly a lot faster.
A2SD - understood about freeing up internal memory - but to get a QS of 1600+ I would need to flash a custom rom or can I do it wit CF-root and supercharger.
again thanks for the reply.
This might sound off topic but why are people sticking with the stock rom when there is clearly "better" choices xD

Because the word "better" is subjective. For instance, to some people, compatibility and stability may be overriding concerns. It is clear that you are referring to the ROMs based on CM7.1 nightly ports.
Am not in anyway trying to discredit the hardwork the fellas behind the ports but i have encounter frustrating FCs and critical issues namely Market won't update and random apps disappearing on reboots. I am sure there are scores of blokes out there who haven't had such problems but for me who has tried flashing and reflashing for a dozen times (yes 12 times kid you not), i would rather sit it out and wait for the port to be officially ratified and given the works i.e. debugged and tested. Never mind whether this is going to happen.
yeah i kinda agree...sometimes whats work for others doesnt work for me/you...thats when we go back to stock...

Going to such a big conclusion... I was refering to all the hardworks of custom ROMs that are available.
i get 1800+ on 800mhz consistently............and around 2200 at 902mhz(921 is pretty stable but i use 902mhz)
hey i saw some ppl getting 2400+ quad scoresat 902mhz........how is it possible?
any thoughts? just rooted it yesterday, was trying to figure out what the best kernel is
Stock, lol. Whatever comes on the ROM is going to be your best bet right now.
I am using stock rooted with ziggy kernel due to his having call recording enabled. Works well for me.

I used Ziggy's for a few weeks but like most other users I found that it rebooted itself at least once a day no matter what the clock settings where (innefabilis ROM).
I switched to the OC dsb kernel & it has run absolutely perfectly ever since, but I don't see any huge advantage over just running the stock kernel at this point.

It depends on what ROM you're running to some extent. Also, people are having different experiences running the same ROM/kernel combo so ymmv.
I would decide on a ROM you want to try then read through that ROM's thread and look for issues people are having and what kernels they're using. Then read through the kernel threads and check for issues for it being used with the ROM you like.
It will depend on how you use your phone too. I've read where people running Ineffabilis ROM with ziggy's kernel are fine except if they let the phone charge to 100% while it's on it starts bootlooping. So I could never use that since I usually charge overnight and need to use the phone as my alarm clock. I went with dsb but haven't done any oc/uv tweaking yet.
You can always try one out and then change it if it's not working out for you.
I've personally used ziggy and dsb, I didn't notice much of a difference between either, but dsb was/is SUPER easy to flash, puts boot.img INS ph91img.zip on your sd and reboots to villager for easy install (ziggy might have done this to, I don't remember)
I also used both with inefabliss and didn't notice any issue with ziggy, but results may very!

I'm currently running cm7.1, and really love it. I'm also really curious about trying out the ics roms and don't know which one to try. has anyone run both? which one did you like most and why? also, if I do a nandroid backup, is that the same as a windows image backup? ...meaning I can reinstall cm7 and glitch kernel, then flash my nandroid backup and be right where I was before I changed anything?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A
Yes you can restore a nandroid like you said as long as you are on the same ROM.
This is kind of an opinion, but I prefer Teamhacksung, as it is clean and bug-free.
ok cool. sorry about being in the wrong forum at first. so one for team hacksung, anyone else? I just want opinions as I don't think I have the time to try all the ics roms right now
aokp is by far the most solid ICS rom. its more how cyanogen use to be....lots of options to customise. THS cm9 is vanilla, meaning barebones.

This subject is opinionated and the OP should install both for a day to determine what he likes better.
Personally I used AOKP for the last six months, Yesterday I switched to CM9 experimental Linaro Build.. In my views way better than aokp..

Why?
i have the infuse but i started off using aokp switched to cm9 its been about a month.. goin back 2 aokp as of now cm9 isnt like cm7, i like tweaking and customizing as much as possible and i love the navigation bar aokp has..
Ok cool I think I'm about ready to try some out. One last question, I keep seeing things about how it's not easy to got back to cm7 from ics? Can someone give me some insight on this incase I don't like ics? Something with the different file types? I also want to keep my eh03 radio if I do end up going back to cm7
I'm now a little confused, after reading the guide for installing ROMS, in particular the ICS ones, arent all the ICS Roms based on what is stated- MTD CM9? So is there a difference aokp vs cm9? I guess what would be the large differnces between any two for example? Different kernels?

Here check out this link to the guide for Installing a Rom/CWM recovery/Root or going back to Stock. Go to the fifth section. You can revert to stock gingerbread with EH03 radio from any rom.

well i got impatient and went ahead and did it lol. i went with aokp 40.1 and devil kernel .79. the first try was a disaster, what seemed to work went straight to crash and reboot when waking from the lockscreen. i thought it was my oc i was messing with so i turned it back to stock volts and frequencies. low and behold it did it again but this time would not boot up, would not flash anything from recovery, would not format anything from recovery, it was totally bricked. i even tried reflashing cwm though odin and it was a no go.
finally after a few hrs of gathing info, i flashed the stock froyo rom and it unbricked it and i tried aokp again. this time i used aokp build 40, and devil kernel v.72 and everything is beautiful and works perfect, rock solid stability with 1200mhz multiplier oc, 110% fsb oc on liveoc totaling 1362mhz i think. the ics launchers suck and are laggy for me, i dunno why but go launcher is smoooootthhh and so is everything else on the phone. i cant find anything that doesnt work, im not regretting this or looking back at all, thanks a bunch for the help guys. im also pretty sure its snappier and quicker than cm7.2 was for me on my 1.3ghz overclock and glitch 13.1

ive seen it but was a little wary of it lol. for those wondering and addicted to voodoo color... at first i was worried i would loose the deep color and gamma control that i have with voodoo color, but the device color options do a really good job with it and there is a gamma control and it works great, no washed out colors or anything of that nature. im pretty hardcore on my vivid colors so i have the gamma maxed out minus a tad of green but it looks great.. to me.
for the guy who originally mention v0.85, so far its working great, cleared cache, dalvik, and ran ultimate kernel cleaning script then installed and it seems to be running great. the only thing now is the long term stability test, over a week ive had zero freezes FCs, or any issues with .72, i hope i can get this with .85. it seems a little snappier and nandroid is working again. thanks a bunch for the link, a few hours of searching for it and google still didnt help me. ill get back to everyone on the stability of it for me, running 110% fsb oc on nstools and slightly undervolted. im sure theres a ton of info already on other threads but ill still report back. thanks guys
edit: im still having issues with bln, is there a quick fix with it? it worked right away with my botched install of 40.1 and .79 kernel, witch was completely unstable, but now on 40, and .85 its still not working, any ideas? also on first boot from cold soft keys were unresponsive but seem to be working now. im not complaining as i know there are newer versions of the devil kernel but im trying to find a very good balance of functionality and stability.
