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)

2 kernels for galaxy s froyo has recently intrigued me, namely [KERNEL][OC-UV-TINYRCU-BFQ-RAMZSWAP] Super Optimized Kernel (4_2 STABLE) (2010-10-19) by laststufo, and [KERNEL] SpeedMod Froyo 341MB RAM [K7 Test] [I1.2 Stable] by hardcore.
This is the speedmod kernel
and this is the super optimized kernel
I know speedmod sets the minimum clock speed to 250/300/500 depending on which one you flash and includes some fixes from voodoo and also the ULK, while the super optimized kernel includes ramzswap which decreases ram usage virtually, while adding the same implementations such as voodoo fixes and ULK.
So which one is better in your opinion? Do state your reasons.
-PS: I didn't really understood the meaning of Hz but now i kinda do thanks to Bos$. The 250/300/500 is not minimum clockspeed.
None of which. I prefer YA-OK, which gives me the most snappy feeling with a slight OC/UV that does not degrade system stability or battery life.

AFAIK, SpeedMod doesn't set the minimum clock speed like what you said. Read the thread for more info.
I would go for SpeedMod, haven't tried the other one yet.

I thnik you should read more about linux HZ parameter In this case HZ doesn't mean Hertz.
Great topic!
Guys tell me... Which one is better for better battery life?
YA-OK, SpeedMod or Super Optimized? (and best lag fix for stable and fast) all tweaks on?

well, here's mine for the day:
loads of emails, about 8 blutetooth phone calls, combination of 3g, wifi etc. i think the key is using superpower app which really makes a huge difference. mine is set to enable data every 30mins for 3 mins. also using BLN and noLED.
but most important is i've never had a crash or freeze with this combination of rom, kernel and baseband:
Samsung Galaxy S 8GB GT-i9000 (UK unbranded version), Class 10 16gb microSD
Baseband: ADJP3

Sorry.. could U state exactly which lagfix U used in ULF?
There's 2 overkills.. JFS and EXT4.
I used JFS overkill and has freezes twice and moved down to JFS advanced.
I don't really like ya-ok. Looks like a more basic version of super optimized kernel.

Don't just look, feel it
Thx to tokyo, it's my fav kernel now.
Probarly the best kernel out there
Came from SpeedMod kernel from Hardcore, which is also extremely well functioning (I1.2 stable verison). However, on my SGS, the YA-OK kernel is way faster and the feel of the phone is simply astonishing.
I'm on DOC's 7.6.2 (WXJPA) and with adv. ext4 lagfix + IOsched tweak. Phone is truly flying and finally faster than I can press the buttons - awesome!
Can't say much about battery for YA-OK, but with Hardcore's SpeedMod my SGS typically lasted 2 days (best 2,5 day). And that is push email (work and gmail), 3G on, no wifi, no gps, no bt.
Let's see how this YA-OK will do on battery? I'll report back later on...
So far - extremly well done work Zenkinz

I'm using Speedmod K7-300Hz and with lagfix voodoo. (because of battery life)
There seems be a little laggy on my phone, I may think about other kernel, like YA-OK.
But battery lif is what I concern about.
Please let us know how about YA-OK on battery. Tks!
I've jumped to ya-ok, tried all the optimized kernels available. ya-ok feels the most smooth and balanced out, of course that's just me. you guys try it for yourself! lol
can't test battery yet until tomorrow
ps. shouldn't really post this in dev though.

The poll needs YA-OK and Raspdeep's Mod...
At the moment im on YA-OK as it has similar overclocks to raspdeep with the tweak of color and sharpness
YA-OK is a winner for me at the moment
Raw Speed: Kernel: DOW 1.4 Voodoo5 "diabled"
Rom: Nero v3
Lagfix: OCLF 2.3
PRO's: I have found this combo to be devastating just freak'n over kill.
+'s 65fps smooth like butta, quick load time animation's are so so smooth.
download speeds ok.
Con's: get's so hot i worrie about whether im frying my phone. it freeze's in your pocket randomly. 720p video dont work, but the worst thing is batt life. forget it.
3 hours using the phone that's it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been using nero v3 for quite some time now and i'm not experiencing your listed cons. I would try reflashing.
OCLF while the easiest is probably the worst / most unsafe lag fix these days (at least before better / safer alternatives became available) and Quadrant scores are just that...scores.
I'd suggest trying the latest Axura with it's included Kernel and the Voodoo lagfix. DO NOT apply before undoing any previous lagfix. READ the entire OP and preferably the 2nd / 3rd post as well. I like it more than Nero v3 but that's more subjective than anything.
Any of the current JL5 based ROM's with stock+voodoo kernel I'd consider stable, as for the best - personal preference.
Quadrant scores do not reflect real life performance, running unstable overclocked kernel combo with a few "problems" I would not consider the best, maybe a bleeding edge, but definitely not your daily driver.
I agree with epakrat75 post. The balance is a fast smooth and good battery life performing phone. So far the axura does that. love the Nero/no ffc yet but the battery life is less and my business is heavily phone dependent The new pepperkake looks good as well but I haven't used it enough to comment fairly about it.
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>.

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?

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?

I modified my build script while I was testing today and it wasn't updating the kernel in the flash.

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.
Lite'ning v5 ROM
Well, today I just flashed my first custom ROM on my galaxy S2 (coming from stock KG3 ROM), and here's what I call tell you about it so far:
Bulit on KG6 baseband (thanks for that one!) --> As I have previously read, great improvements in the modem component, truly optimized, almost always on "H". I'm not sure of this but may be draining more battery (I do notice battery draining quicker now).
Speedmod K1-T17 kernel (root, superuser, CWM (Chainfire's custom version, etc) --> yellow triangle on boot as it is supposed to be. I haven't tried SetCPU on this yet, which was the number one reason to root my handset in the first place. Very curious about how this kernel performs against ninphetamine (which I never tried before).
"Go Launcher" to replace Samsung's TouchWiz (different, not necessary better, although it does have cooler animations and screen transitions and is a little more customizable, but no point in flashing only on this. I think it is available through the market as well). Another thing I'd like to say here is that there was no noticeable change in scrolling smoothness or reaction in general (though this may be attributed in some degree to the kernel and not only to the graphical interface).
Lite'ning theming with all the "blue" around... you have to like blue, gloomy themes to use this. Battery indicator with the percentage circle is ok. "CTR off" animation when turning off the screen is quite nice. You also get a bunch of new Lite'ning wallpapers to go with the gloomy environment, some of them are really cool.
All Samsungs default apps in place, and no data loss on flashing (flashed via Odin 1.85 as detailed in LitePro's original thread).
Allows you to record phone calls (just touch the "record" button while talking).
These were the most relevant changes/additions I could notice when going from stock KG3 ROM to Lite'ning v5 ROM and only after 1 day of use. Hope this might encourage other new users to flash a custom ROM and share the outcomes.
SetCPU is effed up
Its set at 19.2MHz at both min and max + 528 is max somehow..

Meaning it doesn't support speedmod kernel, I guess.... seen some posts of people running it ok on ninphetamine
Overclock/Underclock and changing the voltage isn't supported by the Speedmod kernel.
Flash the ninphetamine kernel if you want to do this..!
The Speedmod CPU is already tweaked

one question... how to REALLY TEST and compare a kernel?
sometimes adding and modding the phone with custom rom, kernel, greenify and other manual modded cpu governor etc...... it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to understand if the perfornance, or battery life is affected by a kernel or something else.
A person could obtain a bad battery life but the culprit could be ANYTHING.....
so IMHO the easiest way to compare a kernel is the numbers of features and OPTIONS that allows it.... something like how many governor, i/o schedulers , tcp algorithms, dt2w..... and so on... because a PERFECT kernel... could be perfect in some roms.... and worse on others.....
there are too many complications about the number of apps, which apps, to use greenify or naptime/forcedoze , and a possible incompatibility with a specific ROM with specific kernel.
after all........ maybe the simpler test is to keep the same configuration of the rom for at least 1 week, make a nandroid twrp backup, flash 1 kernel, keep it 1 week ( and see results), then restore twrp with stock kernel/rom , then flash the second one kernel, keep 1 week, then restore backup, test 3rd kernel.... and so on? making it sure NOTHING CHANGE, no greenify change... no gaggressive doze setting change....
it would be nice if other people would write here they combination of precise KERNEL + ROM used to achieve a great battery life and SOT.......
No doubt all these kernels are well tuned and devs are making them better & better every day. I always use RADON KERNEL and it works with every rom just perfect, never tried AGNI though, two days back I flashed ElementX and Franco kernel but I noticed two big cores are either going "offline" or shutting them off permanently. @franciscofranco replied those two cores were thermal throttled or something (may be....) but after RADON I didn't noticed that issue, all 6cores are back online . So for now I'm sticking with radon I'll flash FrancoKernel next week and see if thingd sorted out..
Most off all I think we kenzo users are blessed to have all these big names in development thread.
Why isn´t Lineage Os on the List (a.k.a Cyanogen Mod)
I certainly like Radon best . Save battery and not lose performance .
I don't like AGNi . Because it update too frequently sometimes and little waste battery .And that ,I don't like the AGNi Controller ,One reason :For users who use other languages, this apk is difficult to translate . But , I can't deny it is a good kernel .
About Other kernel , I did not use them for a long time . So I do not understand.

one question... how to REALLY TEST and compare a kernel?
sometimes adding and modding the phone with custom rom, kernel, greenify and other manual modded cpu governor etc...... it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to understand if the perfornance, or battery life is affected by a kernel or something else.

Battery and performance are undeniably affected by your kernel.
For example, the battery life on Nitrogen OS kernel is amazing, and the reason for that is, reduced performance. It's not slow, it's smooth really, but it's slower than Radon's balanced configuration.
And I think your argument that a kernel can be judged by the number of features, governors and schedulers it includes is wrong, because you don't need multiple governors or schedulers to get a good experience.
At one time, you'll only be using one, and that's why the stock configuration of the kernel matters.
I think every custom kernel has their advantages and disadvantages.
All we need to do is tuning it.
For example, I use Franco kernel and I changed the input boost ms for better responsive.
Or I use nitrogen kernel and tuning the governor for better performance.
However, I choose latest ex kernel manager app to tuning the kernel. It's more friendly ui and more reliable.
And the best thing is latest version of radon/franco/exkernel/nitrogen/agni has unified fp support.
