+1 for this setup, it's what I'm current using with great results... although my goal was never really battery life. Set the screen off to 200Mhz and you'll save a ton of battery, although I have mine at 400Mhz for better wake up response. Also, AOKP has power saving settings like turning off the data after the screen has been off for a certain amount of time, etc

Mine would be
Ths15 with devil 1.0.2b
And if you want greatest stability I mean greatest then

Sub zero or chimera kernel?

I'm now running ics chimera and its awesome, but I loved the subzero kernel on IcZen , but I don't know if the chimera 1.3 kernel is better. Help me decide on which one.

I am using SubZero on MIUIv4 by 360 Productions and it is absolutely the fastest kernel i have used, not to mention it has fast charge, BLN, kenel level file explorer, kernel level clock and volt controls, kernel level ROM controls, and support CWM Recovery+Touch. Basically my phone has great battery life, great speed, and great goodies using SubZero
Subzero definitely in my opinion ^^
That or Devil is pretty nifty with the control app

yeah i like Devil
Right now I'm running the devil kernel on my chimera ROM and its awesome with the 6.0. Based recovery, I may try sub zero after cause I used it when I was on Zen, and I'm thinking to revert.

Both are awesome, no doubt. I'm a huge subzero fan...but occasionally I'll run devil.

Fastest ROM and kernel combination?

Hello. Can I get some suggestions for the fastest ROM and kernel combination for the fascinate? I have looked all over Google but honestly couldn't find anything relatively new. I want something that can handle a decent overclock, is stable, and is very fast so I can play games with no lag. Any suggestions? I honestly would rather GB over ICS but if getting ICS is what it takes to get maximum speed, then I will go for it. But I would appreciate GB Rom and kernel combinations and ICS ROM and kernel combinations along with some pros and cons of each. That would be great. Thank you!

CM7 and 9 are pretty fast. I'd stay away from JB for now, as it is surprisingly slow. MIUI has good looks and speed but gets literally HALF the battery life CM9 does. The only kernel in town for CM7 is Glitch, witch is a good one. For ICS you have a choice between Devil Kernel and IcyGlitch. Devil has more features and is my preferred kernel, especially since IcyGlitch as the buggy TWRP recovery.
I like aokp m6 with the devil kernel. very fast and stable

Honestly, Helly Bean ROM version 20120807 isn't slow at all. It supports a 1.4GHz overclock and runs 4.1.1. Unlike other ROMs, HB uses /datadata partition to make things quick and smooth. However, no kernel uses /datadata, so the stock kernel has to be used. But i love it.

I have experienced better battery life on MIUI for my HD2 than CM7 or CM9.

Thank you. I think I will try the AOKP ROM. I'm using CM7 as of now with the Glitch kernel but the battery life isn't that great and it's as slow as turtle.

How to make wifi better

Hey
This last weekend I rooted and installed different roms to try. Most of them still have poor wifi performance, just like stock.
Is there a way to make wifi better? Maybe flashing a new kernel, a new modem or something?
Thanks.
Modems/Radios are meant for Service network provider thingies, like your signal. Whereas, Kernels are for more "internal" things, they affect battery life and WIFI.
so i suggest you flash a custom kernel that best suits you
I hope this helps!
Thanks!
I was thinking of trying siyah kernel. Is it the best one for Wi-Fi performance or is there another one better?

If you're on ICS, Siyah and Franco both worked well for me, if you're on JB, Siyah alpha/beta builds are the only option until the i9300 sources are released.

I cant quite tell cause it's a matter of how you set it.. but imo, siyah is the bomb

I flashed siyah 1.5.3 with CM10 teamasek rom but wifi still doesnt work. I dont options for wifi inside Stweaks.
I will keep trying with other roms.
What I want is the best combo for the best wifi performance. Best combo rom - kernel - whatever. I really need to improve my wifi performance at home.

Preferred CM9 ROMS?

Not to start a controversy...but I just wanted to get an idea of what people are using and how they are enjoying their CM9 roms.
Any input or opinions will be cool.

You mean what ROM we are running?
I'm using (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ at the moment, it's been working pretty solid for me.
You really can't go wrong trying out the various latest builds, Gray's is pure CM9 with no tweaks added, the rest have various things added/modified/removed.
Best way is to try them out, as everyone is going to have different opinions.
The builds are all pretty much the same, just small tweaks here and there, but Snuzzo's kernel is a beast, so Rage is the winner for me at the moment.
Rage all the way
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Neo's Rage is awesome the inverted gapps are sick.
I prefer plain CM9, so I'm using Gray's ROM. Replaced the kernel with the Super Charge kernel though
Maybe this is a good place to ask: I'm running Gray's 9/21 CM9 build, does Snuzzo's kernel work with it? I'd like to give that Wheatley governor a try.
Which phone are we talking about here? Cm9 and kernels aren't universal right? Still learning.

Yea, I just went back to it because of stability problems with AOKP. Snuzzo's kernel works great with it. Screen-off battery life is crazy on Wheatley.

i think flappjaxx (sorry if misspelled) is the best JB action you can get at the moment. Ive tried just about every rom/ kernel out there. His latest is just awesome. 2 days and 19 hours I have been running his rom and kernel. I have it overclocked to 1.83 and used his gpu overclock tool . The thing just flies!! Awesome battery life and not a single reboot yet. I have no reason to switch to anything else at the moment.

Correct...
FJ has great skills, and is always generous beyond his means...
Donate much, donate often, to "all" of our generous developers.
And while I have called out FJ here, I in no way want to give the impression that I don't appreciate all of the great work here, from developers, to every day users...
Thank you !!....g
I have to agree... not a single random reboot since I loaded his 3.0 kernel and the 1/7 nightly.... I think his latest CM comitts and tweaks have fixed the CM bug that's been a PITA for everyone!
Great work FJ and welcome back to XDA!

Why have cm10 night lies stopped at 1-07-13?
Not seeing "any" issues here at all...
Verify your download again, and full wipe/flash again if needed.....the kernel is as stable as any kernel I've used to date....g

Agreed ...
This kernel is "ROCK" solid, and does not feel anything like a stock device. It finally feels like it should ....fast and smooth ...g

Used on Jamie's pa ROM and nightlies and I love this kernel rarely get reboots now and has the real butter feel. I don't even need to oc, using 01/14 nightly and xposed app for per app dpi. If u r still having issues do a clean install and wipe internal storage. Be sure to back up or internal 1st please

Running 1/14/2013 and I get the same issue. The older 2.3.5 kernel has no trouble.
Also, while the kernels bench great and feel smooth, I've noticed audio pops with the headphone jack that don't show up with the stock CM10. Probably just some sort of IO priority issue somewhere but unfortunately a problem for me.

I got several random reboots and freezes per day on every combination of JB ROM and kernel.....except the 3.0 redux kernel. been running fro several days now with no reboots or freezes.
Ditto on the 3.0 redux.......2 days solid now on CM latest nightly....
It's perfect...g
This may sound dumb, but where exactly do I OC the GPU? I'm still using SetCPU and I heard it doesn't work that well on JB. What do you guys use for profiles, undervolting, etc?
