Glados vs Matr1x - Nexus S General

Hey!
I've tested both kernels already.. i want to know if there is anything that one perform better the other or something like that..
What do you think:

IMO Glados is more stable than matrix ATM also i think matrix is built off glados it has all its features but tweaked by matchkid
matrix reboots regardless of OC and glados im able to OC up 1.4 without increasing voltage without reboots. Once Pete tweaks his kernel with OC and voodoo colors ill be jumping ship. i used his his GB with absolutely no issues
Edit
Too be fair I haven't tested new matrix

I see.. and what abt CFS vc BFS?

And btw on every rom i've tested, when im at lockscreen and press the power button to turn screen off, there is some green flash on any kernel but stock.. anyone has the same? no big deal but just wondering..

This problem is related to Voodoo Colors. Stock kernel does not have it.

so with a stock kernel, there isn't the "green flash" problem, right?
currently I use the Matr1x v13 kernel. If I install GLaDOS, I'll have the same problem?

I'm not sure that it's the kernel 100%. On GB when I ran CM7 with a voodoo kernel I had the green/yellow flicker (if the brightness wasn't at 100%). But when I switched to the GWK74 stock rooted OTA with a Voodoo kernel, that flicker was completely gone at any brightness.

using Matr1x v13 on a 4.0.3 stock rom and have no green flash problem. i9023

ah ta, valeu! nao sabia que era por causa disso a telinha verde...
yeah if u change the kernel the screen remains

i9020A here... with no brightness and with brightness the screen is the same on matr1x and glados

I prefer GLaDOS to Matr1x but Matr1x is not built off GLaDOS. The other kernel devs have accepted Ezekeel's MODs. That's GPL, open source.

I'm running GLADOS @ the moment. Everything looks good, but I do get the green flicker but I'm sure this is normal on every Kernel w/ Voodoo.
However, when I correct my colors through Voodoo, it's not saving upon reboot. It goes back to the default 2.3.3 crap colors. Any words of advice or anyone sharing similar experiences?

I'm not sure why it doesn't save but have you tried changing your bright ness it bring to dim caused the green flicker for alot if people
If so try different settings in voodoo that will remove it I could pm you my settings if your intrested

From what I've seen CFS is more stable than BFS.
Most devs request you swap back to CFS if BFS is FC-ing a lot.
Pretty sure it's only more stable because it's more common.
From what I've read CFS has more gradual performance increases while BFS relies on more peaks of performance.
What BFS is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Fuck_Scheduler

Update
Glados 2.3... quicker than previous builds even though no mention of performance increase
this kernel is noticeably quicker than his other kernel and IMO quicker thann other kernels and smooooth also got rid of the occasional slight lag when accessing launcher
BTW im using cfs

[COMPARISON] Speedmod or Super Optimized Kernel

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.

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.

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?

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!!

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.

SetCPU no longer underclocking at low usage?

I have moved from CM7 to Hombase 5.4, and found that setcpu no longer seems to do anything. on CM7 it worked as i had hoped, underclocking the phone when i was doing low intensity stuff like texting, and pushing it up to full power for videos etc. now it does nothing but tell me core temps, which are always high as its always running at 1Ghz.
Can anyone explain how to get it back to underclocking?
Many Thanks
Try a different kernel.

This is a known issue with the OC faux kernel. I was running into the same problem with his enhanced stock kernel after using webtop. After reflashing the enhanced stock 0.2.0 it would still get stuck at max 1Ghz after using webtop, but a reboot would get the underclocking working again.
I only tried the webtop hack to see if I could get it working. I haven't gone back into it at all so I don't know if this is something that will reoccur. Although I will say that with my day to day use I have not run into any clocking issues since.
Thanks, is there a page somewhere which details which kernels do what and which would work with my rom?

This is the page for faux's kernels. As far as details, start reading and searching through that thread as well as the threads for any ROMS you are using. 99% of the time people will either have the same problem (and possible fix), the other 1% of the time they will identify a bug (i.e. maxed out CPU).
Keep in mind faux does have different kernels for Froyo, GB, and CM7.
For some reason even if I move the slider from 1300my to 1000, when I touch the screen with at least 3 fingers for a few seconds it pegs out at 1300. I read our cpu's are daisy chained so to speak
so the 2nd core kicks in when needed. I tried cpu tuner and it gives the option to powersave and only use one core or if you choose performance it will allow Both cores. Just might be setcpu isn't designed fully for our dual core setup.
thanks for the link to kernels, but i cant find one for HomBase, or a Kernel only download on the homebase thread. i have the Version2, which has some blur, but only the 1.0Ghz clock kernel. where could i get the 1.3GHz download by itself, to see if that might help, as its the one CM7 had iirc

Get the 1.3 from the faux thread that I linked to. They're in the very first post...
CM7 is the only ROM that has its own custom faux kernel. For all other ROMS just match the kernel to the build the ROM is based off of (Froyo or GB). If you're using V.2 of Homebase then use the GB one.
Update: Also, there are other kernels out there. I was only using faux's as an example since you were using CM7 and Homebase.
thanks, ive now got the 1.3Ghz kernel installed successfuly, but it still seems like setcpu will not underclock. i dont know if its normal, but the "Scaling" option is greyed out, and i cant get access to the Advanced tab. is there something im doing wrong in setcpu itself?

Lack of underclocking is a known issue with the latest OC kernel. I'm unclear whether it's actually a bug with the kernel or with setCPU not supporting dual core devices. But yeah, there's a problem with it right now. I'm on the stock enhanced, and other than the webtop issue I mentioned above, it works fine.
Scaling/advanced are not available, this is something that is determined by the kernel you are using not the app.
ok so if i understand you right i would be best off using the stock enhanced kernel (for now), as it will underclock fine?

It's working perfectly for me, except after webtop use (which I don't normally use).
I'm still having the same issues regardless of weather I choose power save or performance it will not underclock, and those are the only governors I get the option of :s

Hells core kernel..

Hey guys..
I am a kind of guy who likes to test all kernels myself to decide which one is best for my usage..
I notice a lot of people using "Hell's Core" kernel on their nexus..
I googled and did not find a english forum for hell's core..
I generally go through the last 3-4 pages of a kernel thread to get to know the issues in that kernel.. but as I cannot do so for hell's core kernel.. I request hell's core kernel users to please mention your issues and expereances of using that kernel..
This can be a good english reference for people wanting to know more about hell's core..
and yeah google translate sucks..

Thank you so much for your effort towards helping.. But I think you are a bit confused. I am talking about "Hell's Core" and not ultimate hell's core... For your information if you do not already know, its mentioned in the UHC thread
This Kernel is a rework of Hells-Core !

Also for you and anybody else the German thread is here -> http://www.android-hilfe.de/custom-...ss15j-jwr66v-hells-core-b38-19-09-2013-a.html
I've been using it for about 4 days now. I have noticed improved battery life. With regular usage, and not a lot of gaming, it extends the time I need to connect to a charger by about 1.5 - 2 hours (vs stock kernel).
As far as speed goes I haven't noticed any improvement but the nexus 4 is already quite fast. Also the kernel doesn't allow overclocking so you should expect about the same performance as the stock kernel.
I'm using intellidemand cpu governor at 192Mhz min value.

I would like to try this kernel as well (on NEO 013 now) Is there not a English thread for it? I am running latest PA rom and want to give it a shot, where can I find it?

PA is jwr so use anykernel.zip for jss based roms use AOSP.zip
If you choose wrong kernel,you won't brake anything,but you'll have screen tearing.
I'm using hellscore for a while,great balance on baterry live and performance.
My recommendations for hellscore.
did you say hells kernel?
