Kernels comparison

Hi guys!
Great devloppers do great things!
I want to open a discussion about all the SGS kernels!
Today,a lot of kernels are out, and it's really hard to say who is the better. So for a better choice, share your user experience!
SpeedMod
Project Vodoo
Super Optimized Kernel
DamianGTO Steam kernel
Tegrak Kernel
FuguMod
Personnaly i prefer Speedmod, but i just test Speedmod and vodoo. To me Speedmod is faster than vodoo, and the battery life is better. I love all the speedmod tweaks
Now it's your turn to give your feedback, give a mark, and compare!
! I don't want to create war between kernel dev, just compare and why not help dev with user experience !
PS: sorry for my bad english ^^

IMO Voodoo kernel is faster and more stable than hardcore's one, but speedmod has better battery life. It's only my opinion.

Tried SpeedMod, Voodoo and Super Optimized Kernel.
I love SpeedMod, as he say it is fast, stable, low battery drain, easy to use and thanks to Supercurio's Voodoo Sound Radio is also usable now.

i am using voodoo

Yeah Vodoo Sound is so cool

I've tried Voodoo and SpeedMod. SpeedMod seems to have better battery life.
Interesting thing - maybe just slightly off-topic, but I'm not allowed to post in dev section yet so... it's more a SpeedMod 13A vs SpeedMod 13B thing.
I'm on Doc's 9.6.6 ROM (JPY modem) and was using Speedmod 13A. Despite trying every method I found to fix it, GPS (lock and accuracy) was horrible. Today i changed to 13B and GPS performance is ok again. This seemed odd to me, as the only thing changed was the kernel. Anyone have some insight into this?

SuckerPunch
I use Sucker Punch, built off of Speedmod, the dev keeps it updated and build off of speedmod on a regular basis. I recommend giving it a try, especially if you are at all interested in OC and UV

Hi.
I'm using speedmod also. I find it quite stable, good battery life and fast. Although I believe that most of the improvement came with 2.2.1.
What I love more in speedmod is actually credit of supercurio work... Which is the sound, it's so much better than with the stock kernel...

Played around with settings some more - enabling the lagfix for DATA_LOOP, CACHE_LOOP & DBDATA_LOOP (making all "=ext2" instead of "=false") destroys GPS performace for some reason. I only use default lagfix now, GPS is fine.
Will report back on this specific issue when I try Voodoo kernel. Very curious how SpeedMod compares to Voodoo on this criterion.

I love speedmod... Also mainly it is the only one that is able to change to warm colors. My default screen came with a slight blue tint. Now my Super AMOLED is beautiful again

I like SpeedMod for Great Sound -especially radio fm, low battery usage, and color temp. option.

IMO speedmod is the best! easier n i think more stable than others..

Speedmod ... with all the goodies of speed and battery life there is cifs and tun support

G'day people, I've tried all of them except FuguMod, and from my tests running the stock firmware I9000XWJS3 voodoo was faster than SpeedMod but Tegrak was the fastest out of everything. Only thing with Tegrak is that it doesn't use ClockworkMod and has a market app to adjust it settings. plus it adds an extra boot menu at the beginning of every boot. its also not compatible with some apps and its version of root doesn't use Busybox which I've noticed causes some problems.

For Bluephantom:
Wooow you tried all of them ^^
You are so brave lol. So accorded to you what kernel is the best?
Vodoo is really faster than Speedmod? I never noticed this. I find Vodoo not smoothy.
For ALL:
What do you want on kernel to be the best?

I like SpeedMod, regularly updated, stable and fast enough.

Speedmod for me

3 KERNELS
I guess there are just 3 different KERNELs for SGS, the others are just tweaks for Stupy's CWR,
appreciate all the work for Super curio, Lastufo and Stupy
There are no best kernels, just optimized settings,
I tuned my sgs so my hard died (mine was the only SGS bricked in this region), now i use stock ROm JPP (one of the universal best) and a modified kernel and have the same working speed as Darky Doc ROms have.

I've only tried SpeedMod and Voodoo, and for me Voodoo has a little extra oomph. Phone seems snappier and faster in general.

I'm with doc's 9.6.6 JS5 /JPY modem /Speedmod k13c kernel and my battery drain is kinda stressful Did anyone test different kernels with this rom?Which one has the lowest consumption? (I lose about 2& per hour idle/2g/no wifi or data)

[KERNEL][23 MAR][KB1] skullcap-voodoo beta1 [VoodooSnd v6, Lagfix, more...]

This is a kernel based on Captivate (i897) KB1 source.
I consider this kernel still in beta as I haven't run it as a daily driver much yet. I did do some testing with it though and it's been stable so far.
Normal disclaimer about you flashing at your own risk <here>.

One last thing I guess... I do this as a hobby, it's not my life.

Reserved for updates.

Was literally just about to reply in your other skullcap kernel thread that I'd be willing to check out your KB1 kernel. Figured I'd search your posts first and lo and behold...
Downloaded.

Definitely looks good, downloaded and will flash soon. I like it! Battery efficient?

Should be, there are battery saving tweaks in the code and the init files.
Let me/us know how it does for you.

Flashed
Voodoo app says kernel doesn't support extended sound controls
Weird behavior in Quadrant: froze on CPU 0/12, jumped to 10/12 on first run (probably anomaly)
You might wanna remove the FPS cap, just because
Quadrant scores hover around 1450.. bit low. eXistZ gets 1500, OverStock 1600. Not important, more like IDGAF, just saying though
Phone got a bit laggy, not sure if it's the kernel though. Animations are laggy....
For now back to eXistZ for Voodoo Sound... will flash an update

Just tried flashing this, but when opening up Voodoo Control it says that the Kernel doesn't support Voodoo Sound.
Anyone else having this issue?
EDIT: ^ ^ must have been posting at the same time...

I cleared RAM, i had 155 used. Under eXistZ, I have 129MB RAM after clear. Just bringing this up.

Sorry x 1000 guys
I modified my build script while I was testing today and it wasn't updating the kernel in the flash.
The zip in the OP is the correct one WITH voodoo sound now.

Thanks, I can take a look at what all is in mem and see what I can trim.

Thanks for your work man!

great kernel so far very smooth and great call quality. only bug i noticed is when i was in recovery i went to flash another kb1 build rom (fusion) i wiped dalvik and then i got a message my back button was disabled and also i could not highlight any options i had to 3 button back into recovery then all was well. not a big deal to me but it might freak some people out just letting u know. good work man

Nice work.. i'm currently running Existz kernel and get great results with it...
Does this kernel have Voodoo Color & Sharpness ? if not, any plans to put it in ?
second question, with Existz kernel that already has voodoo lagfix, i can just flash this kernel without disabling lagfix right ?
Thanks !

I do plan on taking a look at the color and sharpness. I just never "needed" it for myself so it was low on my list.
You don't have to disable lagfix. Since both kernels support it each one will recognize it no problem.

Cool... good to know as it does make a nice difference on our beautiful amoled screens!!
Looking forward to this new kernel!!
Thanks

Hey, so eXistZ kernel doesn't provide the best battery life, and I REALLY wanna hit up your kernel! Can you do me a favor and add a lower minimum brightness tweak? Also take a look at OverStock for FPS limit remover and such? OverStock seems to have great performance, and I haven't used your kernel enough to compare The min brightness tweak would make this a MUST have!
Also I know this is the wrong place for this, but does anyone know anything about something I heard about KB1 kernels being compatible with i9000 modems? You always needed to pair i9000 modem and kernel, but I heard somewhere you can use i9000 modems with KB1 kernels for some reason.

+1 for the minimum brightness tweak.
The Overstock 1.0 KB1 kernel had a bug that let it work with i9000 modems, but not Captivate modems. It was fixed in 1.1, but cmenard supposedly was researching to see if he could get it working with any modem. That was a while ago, haven't seen anything on it for almost 2 weeks.

[OC] Tegrak Overclock v0.2.0.1

Hi Captivators!
Let me introduce a tool that helps to improve performance of your phone!
NEED ROOT!
Overclock can be harm to your hardware.
Use at your own risk.
I made a overclocking application for Samsung GalaxyS family.
It's designed to make overclock very easy on stock kernel and custom kernels (almost, not CM7, it has its own way)
Only needs to click 3 times to do it.
I know here is not app category, but based on kernel module.
so I chose "Development" category.
If I'm wrong, please move my thread to correct position.
Working perfectly on GalaxyS Froyo. already proved by many people.
I'm waiting Gingerbread for my phone (SHW-M110S).
App will support Gingerbread after I got it. Hey Samsung, give it to me!!!!
My wish is that all of GalaxyS users install this application on their phone... over 10 million..
But I know. It's just a dream.

Hey, who don't want to make phone faster?
You can find a free version app in Android Market.
If you like it you can also buy ultimate version to help me (think as a donation ver)
UV(under voltage) and OV(over voltage) controls are only available at Ultimate version.
Sorry for that but I believe Free version is quite enough for most of you!
@1.43 Ghz, 1.375V + ext4 = quadrant score 2250, and fried my hands
Enjoy your enhanced phone with my application!

I have just read all threads that you told me. Yeah you are right at last comment. My app does not need custom kernel. In addition
no reboot, can change at runtime.
This is a big differrence from another apps.
Thanks for links anyway!

yes this app loads a kernel module much like voodoo control plus does. it adds overclock to any kernel instantly. unfortunately for the developer most of us have a favorite overclock kernel. but this will work for adding overclock to kb1 non overclock kernels that some members prefer to use for call quality reasons, and for people that love the stability of speedmod but want to experiment with faster clock speeds

onix is speedmod with OC/UV
EDIT: im just curious, ive traditionally undervolted my phone to increase battery life, what would be the purpose of increasing the voltage, seems as though it would be counter productive?

Well this is interesting. A good app for anyone who remains on stock and dosent want to load a custom rom but would like a little extra horsepower. The small percentage that people here make up may or may not use it, but to the rest of the world that is on stock, this could be really nice for them.

that is a gross over simplification. i believe onix has a lower kernel hz for battery life and additional patches though i never cared to keep track of specifically what features each kernel has.
also the ulk menu on speedmod actually works on all the options including jfs unlike onix

maybe you will have better luck in the epic and fascinate sections where there is no froyo source code so they have to choose between 2.1 overclocked and 2.2

Any chance to get this on 2.3.3?

Hey Dani, Thanks for advise.

Decreasing voltage increases battery life (obviously less juice = lasts longer) but also makes your phone less stable. The inverse holds true to a point. For every phone at every cpu speed, there is a range of voltages where your processor doesn't lock up and die instantaneously. Too much voltage makes it die, too little makes it shut off.
In the range where it works, however, the lower end is better for battery life, but if it's doing something towards the upper end of the freq range, it might still die, but the upper end of the voltage spectrum is pretty much good to go.

cant overclock my cappy at all raise it to 1.2ghz without any voltage change and
it says i need the full version...
whats the point in OC app that you cant use it?

[Arrows - Guide] Best Aosp GB & ICS Roms [Updated - 1/22/12]

Feel Free to post and give feedback ^_^
Also feel free to Vote the thread ^_^
Q&A is in Post 2
_____________________________________
Hi Everyone, Arrow here and this is my guide to find what is the best aosp setup for your evo or android. It is true when people say "every phone is different." However there is an average of people that get similar results. At the moment people have different interest such as some people want performance and some want to improve their battery life. Of course certain people want both but only some get both.
*Remember what i put here is an average and may be different on your evo*
AOSP GB ROM'S: Ok so to start off, these are aosp roms still being updated as of now.
CyanogenMod 7 (CM7) - The most famous aosp rom out there, all or almost all other aosp roms are based off of this rom. This rom has a stable rom and experimental nightly builds. Anyone will tell you that you can't go wrong by choosing this rom. and believe me you will enjoy it.
CyanogenMod 7 Thread
Miui - This rom has the longest battery life and is very customizable. This rom is based off of CM7 and is an excelent rom. However unlike CM7 this rom does not have 4g so if you are willing to sacrifice 4g then believe me this is your rom.
Miui Thread
Gingerbread Evo Deck - Ok so although CM7 is amazing decks gb rom has said to be the exact same thing but giving off better battery life. other then that it is pretty much the same thing with some minor tweaks and some bloat ware removed.
Gingerbread-Evo-Deck's Thread
Xplod E4G - Team Nocturnal designed this rom and it is pretty much CM7 with the Sony Launcher + their apps. This rom will give your phone a nice cool feel that other people don't have. If you like a lot of eye candy then get this rom because it is CM7 just with a different look and feel.
Team Nocturnals Xplod E4G RLS1.2
teh roxxorz said:
using Xplod: there's a 50/50 chance the new tiamat kernels [4.0.7+] may not boot, in that case, they should use 3.3.7.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ICS(mod7) - Team Blaze designed this rom and you can consider this rom like Xplod E4G, a rom just like CM7 with some minor tweaks but with a different look and feel. None the less this rom has something very special this is the closest rom to being like ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich). I 100% support this rom because they are doing the best they can to make this rom look and run as smooth as ICS. so if you want to look like your ahead of the game definitely get this rom.
ICS(mod7) Thread
AOSP GB Kernels: These are three kernels that i know of, if you know of more please let me know and i will add them.
Tiamat 4.1.0 - This is the latest kernel made by Tiamat and this is the only aosp kernel still being updated. This kernel on average gives people great performance but lacks on battery life. The main Governor for this kernel is SmartassV2 which is a balanced governor, good to turn on your phone and good to use on a normal day to day bases. For this kernel i do recommend using this governor. It does have SBC and Non-SBC kernels. *Side Note* (Some people say Tiamat 3.3.7 works better for them and is also known as the LEE Kernel because it was awesome like Bruce Lee and looks like Lee backwards [337])
Tiamat Website I also put the Zips in the Attachment (At The Bottom)
Savaged-Zen - This kernel is no longer being updated, however it is still amazing this kernel seems to be Tiamat's competition. Where Tiamat lacks on battery Savaged-Zen does not. However it's performance is not as good as Tiamat. This Kernel comes in two version BFS (Brain F***ed Scheduler) and CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler). BFS is said to give better performance and CFS is the normal kernel. This kernel only comes with SBC however you may download "SVZ Manager" which will allow you to turn SBC on or off. The main governor for this kernel i believe is on demand However i use smartass and a lot of people us InteractiveX.
Savaged-Zen CFS sbc I also put the Zips in the Attachment (At The Bottom)
Savaged-Zen BFS sbc in attachments (At The Bottom)
SVZ Manager I also put the Zips in the Attachment (At The Bottom)
GoDm0de - This Kernel was made by toastcfh and is no longer being updated. It is non-sbc and in my opinion definitely the best non-sbc kernel. This Kernel has insane battery life and a pretty good performance. If you do not want to use an sbc kernel i recommend for you to 100% use this kernel. The Governor for this kernel is set on on demand (i think) however i got the best battery/performance using Interactive.
GoDm0dE Kernel I also put the Zips in the Attachment (At The Bottom)
AOSP ICS ROM'S:
ICS rom by: the_Plattypus and it is still in Alpha testing. however the development for this rom is moving really fast so hopefully a beta will come soon.
EVO 4g Ice Cream Sandwich from source
ICS-evo-deck: This Rom is by kushdeck, After testing out Decks ICS Pre-Alpha 4 & 7 rom i conclude that although it is a alpha it can easily be used as a day to day rom. extremely fast and very snappy. only thing that i found not working was the camera. (Now on Alpha5)
[ROM][ICS][1-11-12][WIP] ics-deck-evo [alpha5]
All Decks ICS Pre-Alphas
All Decks ICS Gapps
AOSP ICS Kernels:
Jaredthegreat ICS - jared has the most advanced ics rom which is in beta 2 but does not have a working camera to check this rom go here:
[ROM's] -ICS- 4.0.1-4.0.3>[AOSP]<--~B.2.0~
Will post them when they are released!!!
Rom Manager/Kernel Manager:
Rom Manager: This is an app from the android market and is extremely useful for pretty much anything. you can back up your rom, you may go into boot loader and you can check if certain roms such as "CM7 Nightlies" have been updated. However people do prefer Amon Ra for flashing, which is another plus of Rom Manager it allows you to flash alternative recovery, which will flash Amon Ra for you.
Kernel Manager: This app was working before but has stopped now, however if it does start working again what it had was pretty much all the kernels that you needed for any rom. this app would allow you to flash a new kernel immediately by going to the kernel you want to flash.

A: SBC stands for super battery charger. SBC is trickle charging, It stops your battery from dropping from 100% to 90% right when you take it off the charger. Some say that it harms your battery but i haven't seen any harm and plus it only costs $5 to get a new battery on Amazon.
Q: How to set up and flash your roms and kernels?
A: well my friend "Crossrocker" made a guide for this with everything you need. so just click to go to his thread. [GUIDE||Oct/23]Best AOSP(CM7|Decks|MIUI) configuration.
Q: What is the difference between governors?
A: This Thread by "RJackson" explains it all:SetCPU governors (explained)
But if you're too lazy to click it here they are:
As explaind by RJackson:
ondemand - Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see "up threshold" in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed. - SetCPU website
conservative - Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery. - SetCPU website
performance - Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "max" set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting "max" and "min" to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for the CPU load. This governor is recommended for stable benchmarking. - SetCPU website
powersave - Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "min" set value at all times. - SetCPU website
userspace
A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor. - SetCPU website
Interactive - The 'interactive' governor has a different approach. Instead of sampling the cpu
at a specified rate, the governor will scale the cpu frequency up when coming
out of idle. When the cpu comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire
within 1-2 ticks. If the cpu is 100% busy from exiting idle to when the timer
fires then we assume the cpu is underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.
If the cpu was not 100% busy, then the governor evaluates the cpu load over the
last 'min_sample_rate' (default 50000 uS) to determine the cpu speed to ramp down
to.
As explained by MDJ:
SMARTASS GOVERNOR - is based on the concept of the interactive governor.
I have always agreed that in theory the way interactive works - by taking over the idle loop - is very attractive. I have never managed to tweak it so it would behave decently in real life. Smartass is a complete rewrite of the code plus more. I think its a success. Performance is on par with the "old" minmax and I think smartass is a bit more responsive. Battery life is hard to quantify precisely but it does spend much more time at the lower frequencies.
Smartass will also cap the max frequency when sleeping to 245Mhz (or if your min frequency is higher than 245 - why?! - it will cap it to your min frequency). Lets take for example the 998/245 kernel, it will sleep at 245. No need for sleep profiles any more![/QUOTE]
As explained by teh roxxorz:
Lagfree - like the performance governor. It will scale the cpu to higher frequencies when needed, but not to 100% like performance, so you'll get a lil better battery out of it
SmartassV2 - A smarter smartass governor. Code was re-managed/removed to make it more optimized, and have better scaling performances
InteractiveX - a better interactive governor I believe; low scale cpu settings, for texting, browsing, ect, nothing intensive. I wouldn't use it for emulators, ect.
Q: Do you need PRL/Profile/Radio updates? Do you need to go back to sense based to do these still?
A: No you don't have to go back to sense to do these and you don't have to do these because Rom's will come with what you need. None the less if you would like to update your radios here is a thread by "Calkulin" where he keeps the latest radios updated: [ Radios ][ 9-5 ] All EVO Radio, WiMAX, PRI, NV & HBoot versions
Q: Does HDMI mirroring work on these roms?
A: As of this moment Miui and CM7 both have HDMI mirroring working, and sense all the other ones are cm7 with some tweaks they as well have HDMI working however from what i have read the only one that has not had problems with HDMI is Decks Gingerbread Rom
Q: Are all other major features (4G (except for Miui), bluetooth, front & rear camera, GPS, apps such as Netflix, Skype, Google Voice, Sprint Visual voicemail) all working at least as well as on a Sense or stock ROM?
A: Yes everything is working, however on CM7 and i presume on some others you also have to flash a gps fix which you can get from this thread: [GUIDE||Oct/23]Best AOSP(CM7|Decks|MIUI) configuration. and the Voicemail seems to have some issues for some people but works flawlessly on Decks with it's gapps + Voicemail which you may also get from this thread: [GUIDE||Oct/23]Best AOSP(CM7|Decks|MIUI) configuration.
Q:My wifi is connecting/disconnecting after a second, what should i do?
A: This answer was given to me by "teh roxxorz." This has nothing to do with your rom or kernel, do this:
Back up everything into Titanium Backup
Boot into recovery
wipe cache, Dalvik, and pretty much everything
reflash your rom,kernel and gapps (or if you would like to check out some other roms and kernels just click on the link in my sig)
once you've set up your phone download Titanium Backup from the market
in titanium backup restore all your apps ONLY!!! (don't get apps w/ data - only get apps, and do not get system data)
after this your wifi should be working just fine
Q: I am having wake issues?
A: Here is a Guide made by JBabey[FIX] Wake Issue (Android OS) - Combination of Radio/PRI/NV/Wimax/GPS !Solved!
Q: Can i make my 3g speed faster?
A: Yes, This answer was given to me by teh roxxorz:
You need to flash a sprint sense rom. I emphasize sprint because it won't work on the sense 3.5 roms, as they're all ports of other non sprint roms.
1. Flash sense rom
2. Obtain your msl, download msl reader from market, use it, write it down
3. type in ##3282# , input your msl (you can get this from the app msl reader)
4. Click edit mode > advanced
5. Scroll down to HHTD proxy port and address
6. Change the proxy port to 0 and proxychange the address to 0.0.0.
Q: How can I fix my GPS?
A: This answer was given to me by teh roxxorz:
- flash a sense rom
- open up the dialer
- Type ##GPSCLRX# or ##4772579#
- Your enter your MSL at the prompt
- Your phone will soon reboot > done
Q: Is there a guide like this but for sense roms?
A: Yes if you are looking for a sense guide rather than aosp then check out this thread by tropicalbrit
Q: What is your setup at the moment?
A: Rom - Decks 4.0.3 Pre-Alpha 7 ICS Rom
Kernel - Stock
Governor - Conservative
CPU Max/Min Frequency - 729/128
IncrediControl (app) - (-100) [I get to (-100) by first doing (-75) and leaving it there for 3 days and then I do another (-25)]
Car-o-Dope (CoD) setup

Nice setup. Thanks

lol i was about to message you to check out this thread, but actually i do need something. do you happen to know a description of: lagfree, smartassV2, and interactiveX? or at least where i can get one?

Also, you should also disclose to people using Xplod: there's a 50/50 chance the new tiamat kernels [4.0.7+] may not boot, in that case, they should use 3.3.7.
And any reason you were gona message me?

Nice helpful thread , I like that you attached the kernels seeing that a lot of people these days are always asking for links to them.

i actually did, it runs really smooth and i believe atm everything is working. if there is anything wrong with it, then it was something cm7 did because it is the same thing with a few tweaks and a different look.

Hi,
Thanks for guide... I am considering changing from
my stock rooted ROM, so very timely for me!
Some features that you don't mention or summarize
that may help me and others.
PRL/Profile/Radio updates? I believe you need to
go back to sense based to do these still? [yuk]
HDMI mirroring?
Are all other major features (4G (except for Miui),
bluetooth, front & rear camera, GPS, apps such as
Netflix, Skype, Google Voice, Sprint Visual voicemail)
all working at least as well as on a Sense or stock ROM?
Thanks in Advance,
Peter

Looking for a Stock JVT compatible Kernel able to Undervolt CPU/RAM/GPU/Screen

Hi to all,
I'm currently an happy used of the Semaphore 1.8.2 kernel, but with it I can only undervolt my CPU, now I'm looking for a Stock Kernel (JVT compatible) able to undervolt RAM/GPU/Screen too, if exists of course?
Any idea?
Thanks to all.

MAybe Cf-root kernels, I'm running on it and uv/oc it with tegrak overlock, works fine untill 1.2 GHz. Didn't try 1.3 GHz, afraid of crash.

Undervolting screen, and RAM requires recompiling the kernel AFAIK. Talon and Galaxian does that if I'm not mistaken. Not sure about Semaphore though.

I have no idea if someone did it for SGS I... for sure, GPU voltage/frequency can be changed for SGS II (e.g. by Click... I didn't saw anything like this for SGS yet.
You'll need combination for kernel, e.g talon as mentioned above, and "Control Freak" app. Still, I did not saw anything for RAM.

Why not trying one of the alternative kernels?
SpeedMod, Midnight and Semaphore are pretty good and stable kernels and all of them allow UV.

Yes I have done a long testing on TalonDEV, really great Kernel (also if in Developing status)!
Thanks again!

Thanks, yes at the end I choose the Semaphore 1.9.0 (Big Memory version) with a little modified ScreenScale Status script, a long tested extreme undervolt (of CPU core and non-core voltages) and freezing more not used system apps and services, a customized JuiceDefender Ultimate, and a bit more... so now I can obtain about 48 hours of battery life (expecially when I don't do any reboot7recovery/new-flash... ehehehe!)!
And that's all!

These days talondev and semaphore on top. But semaphore is better a bit now for me.

i use talonDEV because in seem to be stable on low frequencies
i set 100mhz 200mhz max when the screen is off and semaphore freeze my galaxy,with talonDEV work well
i have to try the undervolt parameters,but iusing juice defender i save my battery even if not UV

Yes really the Semaphore 1.8.2 (I don't try with the latest 1.9.0) freeze the phone on 100-200 Mhz in sleep status but I chose it instead of TalonDev for the following motives:
1)...I had some little icon display problems (only 1-2 times) with TalonDEV (draws a little black box in the Icon upper-right corner);
2)...with Semaphore my quadrant score is higher (about 15%/20% more) and generally the system is more fluid and responsive
3)...with the Semaphore Script (installed from the kernel) I'm really able to customize more and more my kernel but with the TalonDEV I can only change the Memory Options (with it's custom application).
What do you think about?
