Even though its a good kernel, still doesn't beats franco.kernel smoothness, in fact i've never been able to achieve franco level smoothness with any other kernel except franco itself...
With franco i get "iphone" smoothness level on contacts and settings menues, and many apps, statusbar etc..

Yup you're right..
I was suggested to use ta-gb 1.1 + hotfix kernel (as bug-free and for good battery life) but I cannot find this specific version of the kernel. Could someone give me a link or upload it please so that I could give it a try?
Between the kernel I was suggested to use and the latest, which one do you think is better in terms of battery life and less bugs? And what is the difference between the two latest releases (10/4/2012 and 18/4/2012 <-What is this kernel)?
edit: This was the result after flashing the second one:

The 18/04 version has battery fixes, but also included genlock and New GPU drivers which come from 3.0 kernel.... and BTW, i'm rebasing on tagb, so don't worry, i will fix all that bug

I think, t.a gb 1.1+hotfix is based on franco's touch drivers. I have used almost all kernels so far and I think at present Roq XIII with t.a touch drivers are the best in terms of smoothness, stability and battery. Use the conservative at 480/600. Even the t.a 1.1+hotfix is superbly smooth and has superb battery. But it has a bug that when after using gps the battery drains even if the gps is turned off. Franco kernel has multiple issues 1) Frequent reboots during calls 2) Cameranot working after first use...and many other issues.
Roq xIII with t.a touchfix is as smooth as the iphone. Only thing is you have to tweak some settings on the cynogen power menu, spareparts+ and blade buddy I also moved the default launcher (Go Launcher) to my /system/apps to have the smoothness I get now. Smoothnesss cannot come just by installing the kernel. You have to tweak settings...
pradipsoman could you please verify if the kernel that you uploaded here is the 1.1 you are suggesting? The filename is v1.2 but I have to ask because it could just be a typo. What is your experience on the current version of thunder-vn? Do you still think the older 1.1 version of thunder-vn is better than the current one and why? offtopic: One more think, is Roq xIII as good as described on stock 2.3 rom? Or is it one of those kernels made for custom roms?
@ thachtunganh So what happened to my device (stock 2.3)? Are these drivers meant to be used on ics based roms?

Yes, but no more now, go to the theard again and you will see the new kernel
I was away from XDA from 1 month....
So, I want to know can thunderVN 1.02 be used on latest hehappy's cm9 build??
Will everything be functional???
Thank YOu!
It's too soon for your second question to be answered. It's been a few hours since the kernel was released. If you give it a try there will be one more tester to give feedback.
I just flash the last kernel on hephappy's last build (youlookbeautiful) and i got stuck in lg logo

I think you can now use Thundervn Latest Release from TA Have tested it and now it does not have the wifi bug (only bug that t.a 1.1+hotfix had). It is smooth as butter and has excellent battery. Lets experiment further...
I'm testing it too. I'm satisfied by the smoothness too but how did you make a conclusion that soon about the battery life and the lack of gps bug?

Hi, try Faux kernels (overclocked or not), or Mmontuori kernels. They are in Android Development forum.
I'm a big fan of faux's 1.3 overclocked kernel for CM7.

The 1.3GHz always ate my battery way faster than the 1.0GHz one, so keep that in mind.
Cm7 kernel stock kernel is best for stability and battery life if your staying at 1ghz hands down.

MMontuori kernel was based on faux's one. I think MMontuori's provide better battery life with no laggy or bugs. Stay with Mmontuori after tried the both: faux and mm
Hello! This is my first thread, ever, on any forum so please don't bash me if I forget something .
I've decide to make a kernel for the SGP 5.0 for Gingerbread because I loved Entropy512's, but I was slightly jelous of the INTL users and all their new givernors and I/O schedulers. Soooo i used Entropy512's sources and borrowed rumirand's schedulers and governors and tossed in a 1.4 GHz OC and a few cherry picks from KOala888 and voila!
Current features:
O3 optimization
battery pooling - 60sec (KOala888)
touchscreen responsivness tweaked (KOala888)
Screen UV (KOala888)
2.6.35.7 source for GingerBread.
Unsecure mode.
Swap support.
Overclock to 1.4Ghz and undervolt capabilities (use SetCPU or another software for UV).
Added lazy (default), interactive, interactiveX, smartassv2, ondemandX governors.
Added BFQ, V(R) and SIO (default) schedulers.
Init.d support.
Added statically linked busybox 1.19.3 (/sbin)*.
Modified adbd (pointing shell to /sbin/sh), so you can use adbd even if you don't have any partition working.
ext4 support (ghetto lagfix).
ClockWorkMod. Nandroid backup - restore works, mount/umount, format (formats to ext4).
CIFS support.
jhash3.
SoD patch from netarchy/coolbho3k.
TinyRCU.
netarchy's conservative tuning patch.
Custom bootanimation support (/system/media/bootanimation.zip) from Entropy512's kernel.
Per-File fsync() disable
Charginghacks from Entropy512.
I may release a 1.2 GHz version if the community finds 1.4 too unstable.
If there is anything i forgot please tell me!

I've got Entropy's kernel on my player, and I keep having random freezes. For instance, I'll be typing or scrolling and thing go completely unresponsive for a second or two. I'm not sure if it's a governor thing or what (I've turned off overclocking to see if that helped, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference).
Do I just have a bad install of Entropy's, or is this something everyone has? Would flashing this kernel likely to fix those issues? Can I flash without re-installing my ROM (Gingerbread Based)? Are there any issues I should know about before applying this kernel?

I had the same problem, i could never diagnose the source, but so far i havent had it once with the 1.4GHz OC. if you do get that problem tell me and ill look into it further .
EDIT: Problem still exists, if anyone has an idea what it is please tell me. I believe Mevordel had a theory a while back it was due to facebook being a rogue app and causing it. Feedback on this theory will be greatly appreciated!
EDIT2: Facebook does not appear to be the culprit.

Well, I've flashed it now. Here's to hoping it's smooth sailing from here on out
I ran this kernel almost all day yesterday. Visually, things in the UI don't look much faster (probably because of the lack of GB hardware acceleration, and Project Butter), but a few 3D games run noticeably better. Those random pauses that occur, especially when typing on a keyboard, have seemed to also disappear. Thanks for making Gingerbread a bit better to use for those of us that can't let it go completely just yet!
I likewise ran all day, and didn't see any issues. I'm optimistic they're gone now. I never install Facebook, to further disprove that theory.

Of course But you may get compile errors when building with Linaro, in which case you will need to solve them. There are also a few other things to worry about with Linaro, else you may solve the errors and get the kernel to compile and it won't boot.
Thank you! I am a going to load this right now. Thanks for including smartassV2 in governors. The main reason I used INTL r14 over Entropy.
Edit: 8:50 pm.
Cannot load over clock module from Tegrak. When I try to load the module and change the OC to 1.152 (which I find most stable on my player) the player will reboot. 1.2 and 1.4 seem to be the only option for OC. Been running at 1.2 for now with no issues. 1.4 seemed to run too hot.

Same problem here with Tegrak, I'll try to get it sorted out in the next release.
EDIT: I got the module to load i think, but the device reboots directly after. It reboots after the Load Module button greys though so I'm fairly sure its loading
EDIT2: It loads if i set the max frequency to 1.2GHz from No Frills, but if i change it back to 1.4 after its loaded it reboots. Getting there .
it can't get "too" hot from technical side

The tegrak module and the kernel have version names in them and the module will only load when the version inside said module matches the version of the kernel. Basically, they need to have the same name. There's some nice info on this here: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/x380.html

It's not the version of the version but the localversion (normally it is 2.6.35.7-XXXXX) The X represents the local version. You can modify the module to actually make it work with the kernel or in your case modify the localversion specified in the defconfig.
Thank you so much for this Kernel!!!! I am loving the 1.4 Ghz. Smooth sailing so far. Once again thanks!
Hello. sorry if it has been already posted, but I want only "up-to-date" answers.
I have some questions:
1. Which is the best governor to use ( for this kernel ) for a balance between battery and performance ( I use lulzactive right now, I heard that it's very good for a balance between those two but it seems like ondemand is doing a lot better when it comes to battery life )
2. I don't mind OC'ing the CPU but the GPU yes. I want to play games such as Real Racing 3 with acceptable FPS, so I need a boost for the GPU. What settings to use here?
Thanks.
Ondemand and row.
Don't know what governor does Siyah have,but you need to try out "cfq" scheduler with "slp" governor.I think only Apolo kernel has that.
what do you mean by 'row' ?
@GamingDj siyah kernel governors:
ondemand
pegasusq
lulzactive
lulzactiveq
conservative
Scheduler row
Gov ondemand
Andrew is right...from these Row with ondemand is the best.Are you on Stock ROM 4.1.2? If so,then I recommend you trying out Apolo.Maybe extreme v0 or Regular.
Thanks.
I may try thoses ROM but I enjoy the stock ROM, I would change it just for better performance in gaming ( and as I know, the ROM's aren't for that )
edit: oops Apolo is a kernel.. well, as I know, the Siyah Kernel is the best for this phone, isn't it?
but still: no overclock settings for the GPU?

I think dorimanx is the best. It's siyah based and updated alot by a cracking dev
i may give it a try. let's hope it's better.
If you like stock then you should try out alliance or biftor ect ect. These are custom stock roms that work lovely and if you mix it up with a little dorimanx you end up with a kick ass phone. Not to put down Apollo kernel as that is really good for battery but Dori is better for tuning cpu/gpu ov/uv.

With siyah kernel flashed in ur phone u get an app called extweaks or stweaks. This app too was developed by gokhan moral. U can go to GPU tab and change the GPU frequency step. Be careful and don't go beyond 400mhz. It may heat up your phone very much. I use this settings for increasing the smoothness of the phone. And one more thing. Gradually increase the steps.Don't keep the 1st step as 300 or 400. I recommend 160 or 200.

hmm.. i really want to try dorimanx, but, can i flash it over the siyah or i have to somehow delete siyah first?
is the stock ROM that bad? i see that you insist changing it.. as i said: i would change the ROM only if it has performance improvements ( in games, because the stock ROM is doing pretty good in others ) but as I know ROM's aren't for gaming.
@santhosh502 i know it's all about the frequencies. but i need all of the steps. not just the first one. what are you using?

Just remember that siyah is for stock and not cm/aokp roms. Dorimanx is for both. 8.xx is stock and custom and 9.xx is for custom only.
I use siyah kernel. But u can download stweaks in play store too. The link for steps is here. Be careful as ur hands might get burned. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657491
I understand that you can use siyah with cm/aokp but not supported by dev. Dorimanx is a much safer bet for stability

Welcome to XDA, I see you are new, but here on XDA "best" threads are found useless, as everyone have different opinion on best rom/kernel.
You will find best rom/kernel, by simply trying them out and finding which one best suits your needs.
Usually, people can help you if you specify what exactly you need from rom/kernel and by that I don't mean " I need it fast/stable" kind of specification
Oh and yes, 1.8GHz is a bit to much for this phone, just for your information 1.4GHz was sometime useful but 1.8GHz..no point really.

Since you are new, If you want to go with the jellybean then I personally have used Super JellyBean 8(details about which kernal to use are mentioned in the thread) which is good and stable..but there are so many good roms out there... You may try them as per your requirements
Hope this answers your question.

Hi there. I think that CyanogenMod 11 from LegacyXperia Project is one of the best ROMs and I advise you to use it with Dark Kernel.
Also I prefer using Android 2.3 because it's faster. One of my favorite ROMs is Gin2KitKat.
