Just installed my first kernel (Mixup's)

I'm fine with Launcher Pro's aesthetics and Sprint's bloatware so I'll probably skip rom'ing altogether. In doing so will I be missing out on anything? My phone also doesn't seem to be running any faster. Using Setcpu I have it set to OnDemand with it clocked to 1200max/600min. Can I go lower on the minimum? Is 1200 stable? Should I expect to see a little more from the battery? What settings should I have everything dialed into to get the best all around stability/speed/battery life (in this order)?
edit: it does seem a little snappier after playing with it for a bit but Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds are showing smaal signs of lag. They don't seem as smooth as when I was running stock.

On demand is buggy conservative is recommended

Gotcha. Also, since I installed Mixup using only Colockworld (without rooting I assume) is it fine to update to 2.2 without flashing it back to stock? How good is the 1.4 kernel I've seen floating around?

With a non stock Kernel I would recommend holding off on 2.2 when it comes out unless you want to flash back to stock completely with Odin. You may try it and see if it works for you, nobody will know til that day though. As for the 1.4 kernel, it is extremely unstable and is almost entirely worthless. Some people have reported it working, but every phone is slightly different so you probably won't know until you try it. You would be much better off getting Herver's 1.3 kernel which is included in Baked Snack 1.3, but this is a ROM with a kernel baked into it so you would no longer be stock. Hope the info helps!

Please help me choose a ROM.

Well, it's been 3 weeks since I bricked my phone. Mine was 1 of those that had no recovery mode so I had to send it in to get repaired. As I live abroad, the turn around time was a very LONG 3 weeks. Anyway, browsing the development section I see a lot of the devs have gone into over drive. There are SO MANY Rom's to choose from that frankly, I'm a bit overwhelmed at which to choose.
Bionix Final
Bionix Fusion 1.1
Froyo JPA Macnut
Froyo JPO Axura
AOSPish 1.4
MasterRom Final
Then there are all the kernels as well as the zmod4 mod. I mean wtf! lol!!
I was running Bionix 1.7 with Voodoo and it was unbelievably smooth and fast. Now I just don't even know where to start.
In your opinions , what combo would be the fastest, most stable, smoothest and closest one of all of those to Bionix 1.7 OC w/voodoo?

Wow, this is such a loaded question since the answer is always going to be one of opinion. But, since I have one of those, I'll throw in my $0.02 worth.
My phone was also bricked by the OTA. However, I was able to use ODIN to flash back to stock. Knowing I could do this gave me the confidence to try the Bionix 1.x versions (pre Final). When Fusion came out, I went to it and am very happy that I did. In my opinion, it is what Samsung should have release in the first place. (Samsung should really consider engaging this team - or other developers who are spending a lot of time tweaking the ROMs - as consultants on their future releases). So, to answer your question:
* They (both flavors of Bionix) are very stable
* Doesn't require a lag fix.
So, I'm pretty happy. The main difference (as I understand it) between Bionix Final and Fusion is whether you have all of the Samsung stuff included. Fusion doesn't include Touchwiz. I'm a Launcher Pro person, so Fusion is a better choice for me.
Now, regarding the Froyo builds. Depends on what you want to do with your phone. I view those builds as "bleeding edge." So, I want them to be around a little longer before I go that route. But that's just me.
Good luck.

It all depends on your personal preference.
If you are afraid to brick your new replacement and wait another 3 weeks I'd suggest going with Bionix Final stock kernel option, if you feel adventurous go with Bionix Fusion with non-stock kernel. I would, personally, wait for a stable Froyo ROM, current ROM's lack GPS drivers due to unavailability of the source from Samsung, but as soon as an official leak shows up or OTA roll out, I am pretty sure there will be a stable Froyo builds to choose from.
In my opinion, you cannot go wrong with Fusion JAC kernel, it smooths the phone to a degree I don't even see what stock OTA Froyo could bring to the table except Adobe Flash support. My understanding in the delays associated with Froyo release is the JIT (just in time compiler) hasn't been optimized for Hummingbird CPU, and Samsung is working on the optimization.

I recommend Bionix Fusion 1.1 with Project Core kernal 1Ghz. Its very stable, very fast and smooth and good battery life. There is also a Project Core 1.2 Ghz kernel but that one ran my cpu kinda hot with continuous use and I flashed down to the 1Ghz kernel. Not to mention Team Whiskey has put a lot of effort into making this rom as usable as possible. Far as that goes, every rom development team on here has lol. Thats my recommendation though.

That's not even a reasonable list of options. All froyo ROMS are not stable. And for anyone who thinks these froyo ROMs are sUpEr cOoL aWeSoMe, stable means everything works, and everything does not work currently on any froyo ROMs. So first thing you'd have to decide is if you want a ROM with all the features, personally, I don't get why people settle for Froyo minus the GPS. JIT isn't even functioning, so what are you really getting out of froyo at the time being? Just to say you have it? There really aren't any life changing factors comparing froyo vibrant roms to bionix 1.1.
I myself have a new vibrant, and am running a rooted JI6 OTA, just rooted for adfree and tether mainly, along with the OCLF just for ****s n giggles. The OCLF really only seems to speed up certain small things, like cache cleaning/app uninstalls/etc. Ive ran every 2.1 ROM on a vibrant and there's really no significant changes in speed, same linpack, same quadrant (even though it means nothing). My suggestion is bionix 1.1 if you really wanna try something new, but it won't change your life, just satisfy your need for change.

Bionix Fusion 1.1 w/ project core v1 @ 1.2 if your phone can handle it. I have flashed just about every rom that has been released including the froyo roms and to me, this is by far the best rom / kernel combo.

JIT in the newer Froyo builds is working.. what are you talking about? Everything works with the exception of GPS. The only issue that you may encounter is GPS and battery life complaints (results may vary) and the occasional data drop problem.

Acutally flash one of those ROM's before saying things don't work or they aren't stable..
They are stable, JIT DOES work, etc.

I've had great performance with Bionix Fusion using the Core v1 kernal (over clocked to 1.2). I threw the OCLF on top of it, but everything already ran great without it.

Things aren't wrong with stable ROMs. It's a port. A port is a port. Fact is when official froyo made for our MODEL of galaxy s, these froyo sources will be dropped. The 2.1 roms for us are built on a stable base built for our phones. They're just facts. Not discrediting any work done. If my friend asked a recommendation, I certainly wouldn't recommend an experimental ROM with dysfunctional features, and that's what this thread is about.

Not efficiently. And yeah so your advice is a ROM with no GPS and data difficulties on a more than capable device? Dude, what are YOU talking about?

I've been running bionix fusion with project core v1 @1.2 and it's pretty good, however I had a random reboot so I might go down to the 1ghz, we'll see.

I have to agree/disagree with you. Even though 2.2 ROMs are ports, they are still very very good. And if you can live w/o the GPS.. Well, go with one of them
If you can't live w/o a GPS, then go with Master Rom or Bionix Fusion

Fusion with the Core kernel is awesome for me. 1.2GHz without increased voltage is nice. This is my first android device and I really like Launcher Pro.

You seem to have a very different definition of the word "stable" compared to most people. IMO, "stable" means not rebooting or force closing randomly. What you describe is "not fully featured."

I've used it, it's pointless to argue. We're talking about milliseconds here. If you reopen and close a random app 10x. Each of our setups would hesitate on a few of them. I'm satisfied with speed on this thing. I'm more focused on new features. And your opinion is wrong, the gps and apparently data is not stable at all or at all times. Gps would be a component of the rom, which in turn makes the rom experimental. Its just made well enough to use daily.

Gentlemen, thanks for all of the replies. It's very much appreciated.
I am going to switch between a Froyo version and Bionix Fusion. I have absolutely no use for GPS where I'm located, never even used it once. So I'm going to give Froyo a try to see what it's like. Then in all honesty, unless it's unbelievable... I see myself going to Bionix Fusion as it's the most recommended here.
No matter which I eventually end up with, I think I'll be keeping it at 1Ghz. No OC for me until I run some serious tests. My OCing experience with computers tells me that OCing a unit without any additional cooling and having it sealed in a casing that must be close to as warm as hell, is a seriously bad idea. Even without extra juice, I can only see more harm coming from that than any actual real world benefits. But I'll know for sure after I see what the temp variations are like. (Anyone care to share their experience with that?)
Again, thank you all for the suggestions.

Why is there no love for AOSPish 1.4? Lol I really love that rom with JACS oc/uv kernel. Its an awesome rom if u want to go for a more stock android look. Either way u cant really go wrong with any of these roms. Developers are bustin their butts to constantly improve them. I think u should just try a few out and see what works best for u! Good luck

Hmmmmmmm Roms
Like most of the people who already posted I think people are getting way myopic about what is better yadida..........
My experience has been the one thing that never really gets resolved 100% is the GPS, and that is not that important to me
The Froyo's
The Axura's
The Bionix's
Eugenes Roms
Master's roms
All of the above are fantastic in their own right. The Better question is "what do i really need and want" then look at the roms and "back engineer" you needs and wants to the rom that most matches that criteria. What i see is this over active need to have the fastest most newest rom.... ok.......... so, that is like having a Massaretti in commuter traffic... you cannot utilize the power.... so look to your needs and wants and find a balanced rom thatfits that

Very well said and great analogy. Don't forget there are tons of people who want a Ferrari or Lambo just for the wow factor while in traffic. Most custom roms give you that wow compared to stock.

Desire HD never lagged again, best kernel for stock sense

So i've decided to post this, simply because ive been enjoying my DHD so much running super smooth, i've done so much experimentation to be sure of my results
yest i was trying my friend DHD and i've encountered bad lag again, i've checked his USB debugging and it was accidentally turned off for god knows why, i turned it on and the situation got better but not as good as mine
i like sense and a stock experience, i have my DHD rooted with the stock 1.32.405.6, i tried almost every Buzz and kamma kernel and i reached one conclusion
ever since both Buzz (v1.0.7) and kamma (v1.0) merged their kernels with the CM kernel its been trouble for stock sense for too many reasons to list in here
Buzz kernel v1.0.6 is the best for sense its based on HTC own kernel just much improved with careful UV, improved CPU governors and all the CPU speed steps you might need, i've been running it using interactive governor at just 1113mhz max and 245min no profiles and its really a dream to use (of course with USB debugging always on)
never lags when you unlock the screen, never lags when you scroll the messages widget or a folder on the home screen, barely any lag when u switch wifi on, never locked up or rebooted, i've been on it for over a month
seriously smooth performance and stability out of this kernel, equally i had my phone charged before going to the pub last Friday, with moderate use i only had to recharge Sunday night thats 48 hours!
i know many of you will flame me for this post and Apache14 will hate me but i wanted to share this and help everyone who has problems with lag
Thank you Apache14 for making my DHD a better device
[edit] Its best to flash it using kernel update utility to prevent boot loops
[edit 2] sadly all Buzz Kernels up to 1.1.4 including 1.0.6 will not work with update 1.72.405.2, it will break the microphone and maybe other things so we need to wait for updated kernels (updated below)
[UDPATE] for Those running firmware 1.72 buzz kernel v1.2.2 runs even better then v1.06, as always flash it using kernel update utility
However for rooted stock 1.72, after flashing the kernel and modules, you will need to replace two lib files otherwise the video playback will break, Apache still didn't include them in his zip file
i've attached them for those who need them (use root explorer to replace the two files) also attached the stock 1.72 kernel with the original lib files just in case you run into trouble
kernel update utility
Buzz Kernel 1.2.2

I saw you suggesting this several times but now i had to try to see, i was using kamma 1.2 but had some lags, indeed DHD is smoother with 1.06

yea sorry i have the tendency to insist when i know i'm right
anyway keep it there for a while and report back, when things load up it runs better
Apache releases for both CM and Sense roms, but his work is no longer optimized for sense roms
kamma uses BFS now which is sometimes faster but causes inconsistency in sense UI frame rates

Actually i tried to flash 1.12 but had a bootlopp and was afraid to try again but now seems ok , you tried 1.12 ?

I doubt Apache will hate you just for saying his 1.0.6 is better for stock sense...
Anyway Apache is a nice guy...no worries

Always use the kernel update utility and you will never get bootloops with any of his kernels

you will get bootloops with buzz kernels unless you use the kernel flash tool
yes i tried 1.1.2 same results as always, never as good as 1.0.6 always contains some bugs and instability, 1.1.2 is aggressively undervolted so its unstable plus contains a serious bug with the interactive governor it was solved with v1.1.3 and v1.1.4
like i said all kernels over v1.0.6 are based on a Cyanogen kernel, which is really so unstable with sense Rom no matter which version

Confirm...
I can confirm that 1.0.6 is the best solution, i have been running it now for 4 days and it is super smooth... I have installed all of these kernels but this one is the best.

yes the problem now we have to update once android revolution is out with base OTA 1.72
it can only work with the coming buzz v1.1.5
v1.0.6 is just so good its how HTC should have released the DHD

hi guyz,
I didnt use kernel update, so...I flashed via clockwork recovery and now it started boot-loop.
I saw I need to boot my device in order to use kernel update tool. so...how to boot it if it's in bootloop??
tnx in advance
EDIT: solved with a clockwork restore

Ok Im running 1.0.6 at te moment , so far so good let's see what the battery usage is like. Definitely speedy!!!!

I agree that 1.0.6 is great! Been running the 1.51 version since it came out few weeks ago. I use min 245 max 1.2 with smartass, no profiles. No lags and great battery life (MAX 2 days). I had some reboots at max freq. so I don't use it anymore. Guess I could just use the uvoc version . Have not tried the newer versions but the reactions seem not so great. If it's because of the CM kernel being used, I hope apache will continue his great work with the stock kernel!

What kernel specifically are you all using? As I see 3 separate kernels available being the 3 underneath this and only 2 of them have a version 1.0.6 which are the top two, just wondered which one you're all using

i just flashed this 1.06 kernel and it brought back waking the phone via the vol keys! No wonder it didn't work on the new roms that had the newer apache kernels..
so now i can wake the phone with the vol keys and i'm a happy camper!
*edit* realised a couple of things wrong.. the waking up with vol was only immediately after i turned off power to the phone, so that was a false alarm. and secondly i've got no wifi... so i'm gona try to reflash again.
*edit 2* ok wifi's working fine for me.. still no wake with vol keys though.. oh well..

Cant get it to wake via the vol keys. Any further settings required for that?

I might try this and see how it goes, although I have no problems or lag with the latest one, but battery life is aweful because I spend far too much time playing flick kick football and fieldgoal, backbreaker and angry birds whilst listening to music in the background and watching videos in youtube/skyfire, that lasts me around a day

Nexus S 4g, are Roms worth the trouble?

Have a boss and a coworker who just picked up the Nexus S 4g...
Currently I've got an Epic that's got a real nice fast stable ROM on it, so I didn't opt for the upgrade to the nexus, thinking I'd grab a dual core phone when one came out.
To the question: Boss and coworker are tech ppl, do you think it's worth it to upgrade them to different roms? Cyanogen would be what I went with. However, the whole reason this was required on the Epic was because of the awful job sprint and samsung did with it. With this being a pure google phone it seems to be nice and fast right out of the box. I noticed the GPS is a bit weak, I guess that's normal for samsung crap?
Anyway, what do you think? Keep in mind they aren't going to be happy if their phone breaks on a friday/sat/sun/worknight/vacation because I put a ROM on it.
Would you do it? Or just Root them and leave it stock?

I'd just leave their phone stock. It's your boss / co-worker, rooting your phone requires maintenance. The current CM7 stable is running Android 2.3.3, the nightlies are on 2.3.4. 2.3.4 is far more faster. Nightlies are stable, but a few bugs need to be tweaked out.
Besides, I wouldn't do it on my bosses' phone. Anything goes "wrong," its your fault.

I would try openSoju its fast and incredibly stable. Not a huge improvement from stock though.

so there isnt a huge upgrade from stock? what are the differences?
Like I said I know on the epic, it was speed, gps actually worked, etc.

+ Extra Speed (Yeah NS is fast.. but even faster when you mod it)
+ Custom Kernel (This is the huge one)
... Voodoo Color
... Voodoo Sound
... and more (visit a kernel thread for its full features)
+ Notification bar widget (your pull down.. those buttons, they're customizable)
+ Music Control on lock screen
+ Lock screen mods
basically everything. go do your own homework on these ROMs. everything is right there. I don't want to just paraphrase what is already said. Just go to the dev forum and look for yourself.
I personally wouldn't mess with their phones because its their phones. They should decide for themselves.
Rooting and flashing ROMs requires maintenance. If you don't flash a newer version a bug can mess with your phone from causing it to be a day to day thing. What if a new OTA comes? You'd have to update their phone (or themselves if they even know how to).
Basically, if you root their phone. Their phone's responsibility is built upon you. If you want that burden then you can root it and do that, but I personally don't want that. Up to you.

I would root their phones, just to do it ;D
I would also leave it stock, other than netarchy kernel. Thats the setup that I always go back to, very solid, fast as hell at 1.2ghz, and no maintenance or issues to worry about. The NS4G is very fast out of box, but I still notice a few hang ups opening and closing certain apps with the stock kernel. The netarchy kernel makes that stuff almost non-existent. Plus, if you say they are tech people, they will like the options being rooted adds to it. Just my thoughts...

yes I already rooted them for them.
I was just wondering if it's worth a custom rom/kernal.
Maybe I'll throw a kernal on the bosses phone... he'd notice the difference

FYI, there is no CM7 stable for the NS4G. The nightlies use 2.3.4, which is all the NS4G ever had.

Well if you're already rooted, you're already committed to maintenance when it comes to new software releases.
Install a new kernel on there and add BLN Control. That's really all you need to do.

Flash mikyinids deodex rom you'll get the netarchy kernel and the option to theme or add on things like the quick panel yet keep the is stock.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

Two options in my mind:
1. Keep it stock but rooted and flash a custom kernel for voodoo +BLN.
2. Flash MIUI.
MIUI is a little buggy, has no WiMax, requires maintenance and constant flashing so I'd stick with #1.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

I'd do flash a kernel and install setcpu and adfree. I've tried every ROM out there and always go back to stock. I have yet to try a ROM that works 100%. This google ROM just works.
This phone isn't like others, we don't have bloatware that needs to be removed.

On CM7 nightly 17 w/ netarchy kernel and running UV voltages and everything has been super stable for me. I use my phone for work.. lots of voice, email and texting and never had a crash or anything. The only weirdness is with voodoo color when I unlock the phone. Another weird thing is the lag when I use the dialer with a BT headset. other than that everything works great.

I'd do flash a kernel and install setcpu and adfree. I've tried every ROM out there and always go back to stock. I have yet to try a ROM that works 100%. This google ROM just works.

Latest Tiamat ROM & Kernel Have Me Worried

I have never run the OC'd GPU kernel for fear of damaging my device. I have been running Tiamat kernels since about day 3, though. Today I installed the latest ROM release that includes the Tachi kernel. Whenever I reboot it causes odd display errors at the Motorola logo. The first time this happened the screen would freak out for about ten seconds before the Xoom would reboot. I restored a nandroid to 3.1 and had no problems, so I upgraded from that to the latest Tiamat again. I checked stock rooted 3.2 while upgrading and had no display errors. It seems to be linked to the ROM / kernel. I didn't test just the kernel on the stock ROM, but what would cause this other than the kernel? Just looking for some ideas. The Xoom runs fine after booting.
Here is a short video showing what it does now. This is MUCH better than what it was doing.

dude..put that thing down, and walk away...my friend lost his arm when his Xoom blew up after one of those glitches!!!!!!
i'm just kidding. that glitch comes with the Tachi kernel, not the Tiamat rom. and according to the notes the developers provided, it's perfectly normal and it stems from updates for the Tegra platform released by nVidia that they integrated into the kernel. so no worries.

What he said. Just chill. It's all good man. Just a few minor graphical glitches. It won't hurt it in the least bit.
That's the best answer we can give you because it's the correct answer, and the only answer as well. The posts before me covered it like a boss.

The graphics glitch, as many have said, is perfectly normal and anticipated by team tiamat.
Now, if during the glitch a strange voice tells you that everyone is against you and they all have to die....call tech support.

I feel a little better now. Just wasn't sure what was going on. I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem. When it explodes I'll call ya. ;-)

I was thinking the same thing. Now who wants to make this into a boot animation?
