Best kernel - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey xda,
I haven't flashed flashed a kernel in months so I was wondering what the best kernel for the tbolt is and if anyone can give me directions on how to flash it cause I think I remember but not 100% sure.
Thank you in advance

Imos kernels are really good for sense and aosp but my favorite for aosp is tiamats. Just clear caches and flash them in recovery.

You're battery life is going suck big time. I wouldn't keep it like that it could damage the CPU.

Interesting. I wonder if because there isn't a huge gap in the scale that it helps the battery.

^^ AGREE. I am using the Zoom Kernel due to the fact that IMO's kept hanging on me on anything over 1.5. Also I wouldn't run a kernel as a DD at 1.4 - 1.9 though. Not good for the CPU at all. I'd suggest anything below maybe 1.5 as a DD and when you know you have something intense to do on the phone then maybe turn it up for that particular event. But it's you're phone and the freedom of choice is a great thing so have at it! :fingers-crossed:
Try different kernels because the same kernel may work differently from device to device.

Imos kernels are great. Both for sense & aosp.

imos or ziggys are excellent.

I always used imosyons kernels, never tried tiamat but I heard good stuff about it

that would be sweet, i read that its only stable to 1.7.....thats what everyone keeps telling me as well. I dont think ive seen a phone yet hit the 2.0 barrier on a dual core!
what are the steps you use on your kernel. I know the stock goes from 1.18 straight to 1.5. did you change that so it atleast has 1.2,1.3 and 1.4? it also goes from 192 straight to 384. do you add a 200 in there at all. I think that would help with power savings. especially when it comes to haves a screen off profile. The phone gets a little laggy when you have it set to just 192mhz for screen off. its better when its 192-384mhz. But having a 290 or something in there would help out im sure and save a little bit of juice due to being able to set it to 192-290 or what not.
just wondering. i thought the stock kernel on the phone was a little odd in them regards. it really likes 1.5 and really hates 192mhz.
Yeah i haven't been able to get the evo 3d s3 to overclock past 1.7 without rebooting.

Well everyone's device handled the OC differently right? Like I was able to get up to 1.83 with no reboots, where some couldn't get above say 1.7 .....it seems as if some of the devices out there had higher capabilitys than others.

It all boils down to voltage, some devices require more voltage than others, some require less. My 3D handles 1.83 all day long, but I had 3D's running at 1.83 LONG before I even had one, remember, I'm on Verizon.

Kernel issues after downgrading..

Ok, so I've been having issues since I downgraded and I've searched everywhere for an answer. Running meanrom 4.8 was hboot 1.19 but dg'ed to 1.12 and lazy panda. The only custom kernel I can get to boot is Enoch, which still causes screen tearing, but still boots. I've tried zarbos kernel on every setting and it causes serious issues with the screen starting with boot animation, then reboots. Same with cm10 and aosp kernel. Mean kernel seems to give me the best luck on speed @1728, but is lacking in governors. Only thing close to that I can get is 1512 on Enoch.

Even a point in the right direction or a tut on kernel deving would be great.. Ty in advance

Mikey does not recommend using custom kernels on MeanROM they mess with his tweaks
Ah, that makes sense, but I have the exact same issue with aosp and komodo as well, no matter where I set the clock speed.. I appreciate everyone's input and apologize for my ignorance on this matter..
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
So, I'm not sure how this is, but I can over clock on meanrom kernel to 1809 with no problems. I'm wondering if it's not the governors that my phone doesn't like for some reason..
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I have the same issues. I can run the latest Enoch fine and Super lte with the mean kernel oc to 1.8 but other than that kernels just bootloop Im on hboot 1.15.
It's more than likely a voltage issue. Search out viperboys voltage script. I flash it after I flash any kernel because I had the same problem

Are you on a custom Rom or kernel? I'm still on stock but rooted and am not doing anything special (i.e. not killing any apps before running the benchmark). My score is typically between 19,500 - 20,500. 18,700 is fine though, maybe you have an app that is running on the background slowing things down a bit.

Best thing to do is download a good ROM like Hatka DNA. I too just rooted and unlocked my brand new DNA after psyching myself up to risk bricking a very expensive phone
But if you just want a nice kernel, im hearing good things about beastmode and cubed.
Thanks buddy

LK Kernel is the most "stable" kernel. Originally, you asked for the best kernel for "battery saving" ... LK's kernel meets that requirement.
But if you want the ability to OC, you can try the Cubed kernel from DSB. But that is not going to be as stable right now, because it had a lot more features to it.

had my fun, going back to stock. Cubed is excellent but i cant have a SoD while im at work our out and about. I'll still be flashing for dsb to help him bug swat.
I'm using LK's kernel and I've noticed my standby battery time has increased by at least 40%. I can't say how much it helps with heavy usage. If you're looking for overclocking, tons of governors, voltage settings, etc. I would wait for DSB to finish his new Cubed remake.

Lag and dropped frames on custom Roms

Hey all,
Last night I rooted my DNA and installed TWRP recovery after using the latest Moonshine method to get S-OFF. I first installed the CM 10.1 Unofficial rom that I found under the DNA Original Android Development section, and that was a disaster, as it dropped frames constantly and was super buggy. I even did an Antutu test which it struggled through and scored a 11000... Then I went ahead and flashed one of the newer Sense 5 ROMs from the DNA Android Development forum and that one only faired slightly better with performance. I find it odd that they're running so terribly. Did I do something wrong in the process? I wiped the cache and dalvic cache and did a factory reset and all. I thought that with the DNA's specs, I wouldn't have this trouble...

There is definite lag in the Sense 5 ROM's. If you want stability and speed then go back to original development and give Viper a run. A ton of customizations and very stable.

Try Seeder.
I barely experience lag on the Sense 5 ROMs...
I definitely know what you mean. Trying out Sense 5 currently. I love Sense 5, but the drop in performance in relation to stock can be glaring at times. Especially opening and closing the app drawer.
This has been my experience on many custom ROMs over the years. I just think some people are more tolerant.
I downloaded an app from Play Store that fixes TRIM issues. Phone speeds up for a while, then slows down again. I also overclocked to 1.75 Ghz. The app is called LagFix
