Hi all,
Ive got the stock version of 4.04 that came installed on my phone, I have rooted to remove all the annoying bloatware.
My current kernel is 3.015-611327-user [email protected] #1 SMP preempt from may 2012.
BaseBand Version I9300XXLEF
I was wondering what kernels are worth updating to, for better performance on the stock rom?
Reason why I want to change the kernel is because a friend just got an S3 and his phone seems a little more responsive (hes running all stock and stock kernel).
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated
Thanks in advance

What Kernel best kernel posts are banned .
Try and decide no such kernel as best for all .
Your base band is not firmware version .

Oh yea...
IMM76D.I9300XXALEF (4.04)
Since asking about which kernel is best is banned..
Can I update using CWM to any kernel?

If the kernel is CWM flash able yes if not via ODIN all in Development sections .

download all the available kernels
flash each one . run it for a full day or
discharge cycle and compare it for yourself.
things to thjunk about
battery life
performance benchmarks are fun but more look at things like browsing switching apps and so on.
ui lag
remember everyone uses their phone different and want something diff
enjoy

Closed, try them for yourself, read the OP's, etc, they will have all the information you need about each kernel there.

Can anyone please get me the "virgin" UCKK6 kernel designation/name using CPU Spy? I am looking for someone with a phone that has never been rooted and has never changed the stock ROM. I have rooted and changed ROM's myself and am trying to get it back to a like new state and want to see if the kernel version I have matches a "virgin" phone.
Thanks!

Virgin zImages are in my Return-to-Stock thread in Development.
Thanks. That's what I used to restore my phone. I was just double checking the kernel designation after it had been updated to UCKK6, as I believe your return to stock uses UCKH7. I'm kind of anal that way.
By the way, you rock! I appreciate all the time and effort you put in here. I have spent way too many hours reading your posts.
The one you want will include the following essential info:

BTW, Entropy has a KK6 return to stock download in that thread now, as well as the KH7 ones.
Thank you!
As stated in the title, are these the best that are on offer for my phone? only problem i get atm are a few apps crash every now and then. Also I've done a nandroid backup and kept titanium backup, if there are better fw/modem updates, has the phone got to be reset to factory settings?
Thanks

also my battery life its worse than what i thought it would be using this fw, but then i watch a lot of videos on it. I've also performed battery collab a few times now, get about 9hrs life when watch good 1.5 hrs video, is this good?

you can change the modem if you want. i am currently using KL1 modem or LP1. Signal strength is great and not so bad either on the battery. everyone raves about this modem anyway. Regarding the kernel that you are using if it is giving you great battery life and stability that is great to. Now i am using siyah latest version and also the latest version of cwm manager apk which is version 3.0 and clockwordmod recovery which is 5.0.27. i think you are on 4.0 something if i am not mistaken.
what i am trying to say here as long as you are getting stability and good battery life no need to update or flash and just wait for when ICS villainrom is out. if you are a flash junkie then siyah kernel is a good start or speedmod kernel if you do not like to tweak around with voltages
What is C F W ???

thanks for the reply mate, i will have a look at updating the modem you suggested, being an Android virgin i dont like to mess around too much as i don't want to completely screw up my phone! like you said its working fine apart from the odd app crashing, might be best to just wait for villainrom ics.

hello.
i already root my phone with odin and xw kl1.now a want to install Lite'ning Rom but i cant find one with KL1 firmware base.
if i want to change default ROM i have to search a ROM based on my kernel ( in my case XW KL1 ) ?
thanks
Wrong area, your going to get flamed big time... You can flash any base, Doesnt need to be one that matches your current.. Id recommend backing your default base/ROM up tho.
you can flash any ROM it doesn't have to.match.with what your on just make sure you make a backup before flashing if you get stuck just pm me I'll be happy to help and I'm sure devs and users will help you I'm sure I got the help I needed ..try omega ROM 10.4 I think that's on wkl1 ok good luck

thank's i will go with stock and blue black version after.

If I flash my S2 with 4.0.3 did it keep arabic caracters, i have now Andoid ver 2.3.4 ??
BB version I9100XXKH3
Ver number
Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3
Tks
omega stock and blue black installed.works fine but no battery saving so far.
is there a top 10 of custom ROM regarding battery saving.i'm not interested in high quadrant score.i'm not using the phone for games.
No. There isn't a 'top 10 of custom rom regarding battery saving'.
For the simple reason that everyone uses their phone differently, everyone has their phone setup differently (apps, etc) and no two phones come out of the factory exactly the same. You won't have the same experience as me if you use the same rom/kernel as me (or anyone else).
Try a bunch of roms until you find one that works well for you.

Any reply plz
Hello
I'm new into the world of flashing and rooting.
So I want to make my phone last longer and have it rooted.
I actually laid my eye's on the Siyahkernel and it looks really good.
So my question.
How to flash the Siyahkernel into my stock android version?
(Android-version 4.0.3 Baseband-version: i9100BULP6)
Could you recommend me a good tutorial?
And would you recommend the program [root]Triangle away?
Thx for reading
Siyah kernel is really appreciated and accepted by the people, but it is recently reported some problem with ICS Siyah kernel which is in Beta stage now,
so it is recommended to use CF-root for rooting your device first, then you can later on flash your favourite kernels.
Checkout CF-root thread link in my signature.
also refere Guide for ODIN flash,
Feel free to ask if you are not clear
You have to match the version code with your current kernel version, not the Baseband vesrion, to select the appropreate CF-root
Thanks for your help and your signature rocks ^^ keep it this way please
So I have to ask.
How big is the change that (when I use my PC normally and I do what the tutorial says) I brick my device? XD
yup many ppl ,i read thier prblm is some were related to kernel ,and the recent siyah kernels r not stable...so try neak or older versionss of siyah..
alright I'm going to flash the CF-Root kernel:
CF-Root-SGS2_BU_VOD_LPC-v5.4-CWM5.zip
Thx for your reply's

Follow the Siyah's kernel thread, you would know that only one version (the rc6) had some weird "phone brick" issues which, we now know the reasons and the problem is fixed. The last 3.1 version is stable and works perfectly on my device , same thing for almost all users. Just wanted to moderate abit your comment .
well thanks for all your reply's
I installed the CF-root kernel and it workes
I will install the Siyahkernel when it gets a new feauture I need ;D

You are Welocme,
you told my signature rocks, but you forgot to write a thing on that
Hello.
This is the first time I try to root an Android device (Samsung Galaxy SII, Andoird 4.0.3, Kernel 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913 [email protected] #3, Buildnumber IML74K.XWLP7)
I've tried to figure out which kernel I have to use and I think found the right one but I'm not 100% sure.
So, can anybody tell me if this is really the right kernel:
CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip: download.chainfire.eu/154/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
Many thanks in advance!
By the way: What would happen if I choose the wrong kernel?

Siyah v3.x should work fine, not sure about 4.x and later because some were made for 4.0.4 where were changes according to camera and issues backwards for 4.0.3.

Should be fine, anyway any kernel from 4.0.3 ROM would fit, I was using XXLP7 with XXLPG kernel and no problems at all. They will work unless not different codes ex UHLPZ with XWLPW ROM.

Device won't boot, recovery will be available (stock e3 or if available cwm), some features won't work, as camera described above... nothing that can harm your device, just keep in mind some kernels are unsafe to wipe via cwm recovery, everything can be reflashed back with odin.
Thank you very much for your quick reply!
I would recommend starting with Chainfire's LP7 kernel. It's safe and you'll get root. From there you can research into and try other kernels.
