[KERNEL] tb kernels by utkanos (updated for CM7)

Hello.
I have compiled a few kernels for use with any of the sense based roms out right now. There are 3 choices available, feedback is appreciated. Initial reports from users I have sent these to say they improved their battery life, I have been using #1 for 6 days and confirm better life, though ymmv as usual. Support for NFS and all related config options has been removed, tun support is included. For best results use ondemand governor (default).

Thanks for these! (you helped me out the other day on #thunderbolt channel @ andirc.net).
I personally am ready to sacrifice some performance (quadrant) to get longer battery life so I can keep my 4G on longer!
EDIT: After running this kernel overnight and for the past 12 hours, it is amazing on battery life. My battery was around 70% when I flashed the kernel, now 12 hours later and some usage (gmail non-stop, k9 mail polling every 15 minutes), 20+ apps running in background and up front, webcam widget running and updating every 15 minutes, 4G left on, battery is just now at 40%. Phone is still snappy and feels good. Thanks! I look forward to seeing how long I can go on a fully charged battery.

Gonna try these out

These are amazing. They are obviously not for the uber performance crowd who want their 2.0ghz kernel, however, they have greatly improved my battery life.
That said, i can keep 4g on all day and make it 20+ hours with moderate/heavy use.

Just so everyone knows...this guy is legit and will help you out whenever you need it. I've been running his 1st kernel for awhile now on the nonsense rom tesla coil. Because apparently the kernel (drods) that comes with that one makes your device reboot spontaneously at stock cpu speeds.

Drods kernels have been very solid for me with no reboots.

Been using the 5 slot. Very solid battery with this kernel. Thank you.

Wow. This kernel rocks. No speed difference using #1, but I really thought my battery was reporting wrong. It works so well.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

had an issue while downloading trying to download the 5 slot from this site. however, utkanos is very helpful on irc and gave me another link that works!

flash #1 earlier today and so far it seems very promising as the most battery efficient kernel yet.

I wanted to post how awesome this kernel has been after a few days now...
Today, after 8 hours of battery use with some internet use, 3G (LTE OFF), and music listening (FM and Local music files)...I still have 30% battery life left!
I used the battery calibration app just to make life easier too!

Sorry about the dead link, I will update the 5 slot link, in the meantime try this one:

4g speed
I know "people" claim that their kernel does not effect 4g performance but after 5 consecutive tests on the 'other' one and 5 consecutive tests on the 1228 kernel here, I saw almost 2Mbps faster on this one. Whether it impacts it or not, my eyes do not deceive me. Thanks U.

Just downloaded the first one, running the latest virus rom, will check back in a few to report, thanks for these!

5 slot FL worked for me. Keeping with my 4g belief, the first thing I did was run a speed test. Got 9.93 Mbps. I don't care what others say about their kernels buy I witness theirs to be much slower 4g. The big test will be battery life. I will give feedback tomorrow. Btw I am in Detroit and test went to Chicago.

Best rom?
FXP115- CM9.0 FreeXperia Project is a rom im looking at right now. i looked under the development forum post for it but I need more posts apparently in order to ask questions. So does anyone know what the Rom is, is it stable, and what is not working with this rom? Plz and thanks

Tried both Darkforest and JJ's rom
Both had bugs glitches (part of the screen was cut off)
also battery life was shorter than gingerbread
switched back to gingerbread until / if ics as good

Darkforest seems good, ill try it later;D

I've noticed a small battery decrease as well from switching from GB. I had to underclock Darkforest to get the same amount.
Still great tho. Just a little slow.

I've only tried regular beta and Darkforest, but I did try 3 different kernels. I found the Darkforest kernel had better battery life than the ICS doomkernel, but worse than advanced stock (when they haven't been tweaked)
The difference in battery life for me between ICS and gingerbread is immense. And as you can see in the Darkforest thread, I had severe graphic errors, lockups.. I thought maybe my hardware was screwed but;
Went to jokawild with doomkernel 11 and all the glitches went away. And my battery life is 2x longer at LEAST. Hour and a half of use took me down to 60%. On ICS the same amount of time killed the battery completely. And I haven't even finished tweaking this gingerbread yet..
Also, ICS was laggy. Constant slight lag, occasional large spikes. Gingerbread when configured right is really fast. If you mostly want ICS for the way it looks and not features, get an ICS theme and stick with gingerbread. The new features, especially changes to system menus and browser, and gapps were great, but simply not worth it IMO.
As time goes on and things speed up, I'm sure it'll become more worthwhile, but not right now

There is another ROM than Darkforest??

Which is the best kernel for u? and why?

so there is 3 man kernels for our nexus s in JB:
-Trinity (der kernel)
-Marmite
-Matr1x
which is the best for u?
im looking to see wich is the fastest but at the same time stable and battery friendly.

You forgot the Air Kernel.

I know but i never liked it...
Sent from my TH3M3D NEXUS S

marmite is my favorite. I love the mtp, it's got the patch to force a/c charging, it's got under/overclock support, and it's a nice quick boot on 4.1.2.
Sorry, mathkid....for some reason matrix on 4.1.x ns4g isn't working to over/underclock, so I can't use it

Isn't there like 3 other threads discussing the same thing right now?
Marmite for me. It works, it doesn't have all those fancy features that require buying an app just to use it. Marmite just flat gets it done.

_thalamus' kernel; perhaps it has higher battery drain than marmite or others, but no one is as fast and smooth as that one. I prefer performance and stability rather than best battery life; after all, I always charge the phone at the end of the day to have it full for next day, so....

My phone always liked trinity. From gb / ics / jb. Matrix would be a close second for me. Marmite was awesome for me around 4.5 build but since then I get a fast dying phone for some reason.
Honestly once the trinity teuv gets voodoo sound it'll be perfect for me. I haven't had a reboot running it in over a month on rasbean jelly

When i was using ICS, it was always with AIR.
Now that i run JB, i began with AIR, and i'm now running Marmite.
I don't really care about battery, but i fond marmite as more stable imo.

I fear matrix is next up for the development stopping . I know many of us have used and supported matrix since the gingerbread days . It has always been a great kernel and remains a staple for my phone. I believe development for this kernel would continue and surpass all our expectations with continued support from us the community. Sure would hate to lose the matrix kernel also. Just my 2 cents .

You don't need so called constant development of a kernel. All that is for the most part is feature wanking and buzzword dropping.
People are hooked on this weekly update bs from cherry picking people. That just update their crap just for the sake of updating.
When you release a good stable working kernel you don't need or get a thread full of posts and discussion about crashes or what pointless buzzword will be added next.

I prefer matrix for touchwake. I found that in large part, there wasn't much difference for me between marmite and matrix in performance, stability, and battery life. Both were phenomenal. with regard to the "lack of active users" comment, I think the lack of thread activity is due to the kernel being bug free. maths threads have always been quiet for this very reason.

[Q] /DigitalKarma v8 REINCARNATION Kernel issue

I want to dump the underworld kernel since my battery just gets sucked to death on this thing. I have tried flashing multiple mason kernels and even old savaged rom and tiamet kernels. none of them work. What am I doing wrong. Is there a specific replacement kernel I am missing for this?

DK8 is a Sense rom. All the kernels you mentioned are for AOSP roms. Thats what is causing your problem. If you want to try a different one, search for Lionfish, Chop Suey or Freedom. These are Sense kernels may work.

Thanks. I wasn't really sure. I see Mason used on so many kernels i pretty much assumed I could use it. I just hope those you mentioned can match mason and the battery life it gives me

I flashed chop suey and currently my phone is stuck on that damn white screen of death as ill call it. just never leaves it. i guess ill reflash the rom and run the script that comes with it and if i dont see an improvement in battery life ill go to another rom

TBH you will not be able to match the battery life from running an AOSP rom on a Sense rom. The closest would be IMO Underworld with some underclocking and undervolting. Setting the brightness to low also helps, but its gonna be a stretch to get the same battery life.

I'm on this Rom right now. My battery life is at least 12 hours . I'm using the Underworld v.8 kernel by Ca1ne. Get a CPU tuner, preferably setCPU from the market or here on xda, and change your governor to Smartass v2 and your min. up to 384 and your max down to around 768 (mine is set to a little above that at 860). Then flash Vipermod and follow the directions for that. Every phone is different, but mine is around 75Mhz undervolted. There is always a way to get better battery life from your phone, from cpu tweaks to apps that turn off 3g or switch from 3g to 2g or 1x.
Just do some Google searches and you can usually find what you're looking for. There's always that handy dandy search bar on xda too.

Make sure that you barely clearing caches before you try flashing new roms. I don't know of you are, but you didn't mention if you did or if you don't clear them before flashing.
Edit: Make sure that you *always* clear caches.
I didn't notice my mistake until now. Auto correct didn't get it right this time.
______________________________
HTC Evo 4g

I switched from the no-havs Underworld to the havs sbc kernel since I was used to undervolting on AOSP roms. I felt like that made a difference in and of itself. One thing to note I believe if you read the Underworld thread, the kernel is set to Smartass V2 by default, however I think it is also overclocked so definitely follow the advice of underclocking and undervolting... When I first flashed the kernel my phone was so hot I didn't want to touch it, but now It's just fine. For values I am using the same CPU min/max posted above, but I undervolted by 50mhz instead of 75(my EVO won't boot if I go do any more than 50).
And finally I ran the V6 SuperCharger script baked into the ROM. Super easy install, just read the screen and have the Supercharger thread open on a PC.
End result? This rom is so fast it almost freaked me out, or at least made me curious as to how I put up with ICS/JB ROMs for so long. Everything is lag free and as long as I have this phone, my phone will be rocking whatever DigitalKarma is cooking up! Good luck!

What do you want to see in a kernel?

Hi everyone,
As some of you may know, I maintain two kernels right now, Swell and Intoxicated Boeffla. The issue here is one produces astounding battery life, but some people run into stutters and stuff like that, while the other produces fantastic performance and okay battery life but is limited by being based off of Boeffla. My point? I want to start fresh yet again, I want to introduce one more kernel before I call it quits, and I want YOU to shape it from the very start... So I leave you with one very important question... What do you want to see from me?

I'm not an expert in this... but keeping your approach in thermal controls - Swell is really cold! - while achieving a good battery/performance balance, seems to be good for my personal use. :cyclops:
And Alucard or ElementalX governors! (I don't have the slightest idea how difficulty can be to implement such a thing - I'm just a noob who likes to tweak and experiment new settings!).:angel:

1. Stable.
2. Depending on individual - good to have 3 settings or/and profiles - a. Balance, b. Performance, and c. Battery.
3. Many features e.g. Stable governors, IO, tweak charge voltage.
4. Smooth like butter.
I am not sure why i tried all kernel on my Sultan cm13 but got fc. Only blu_spark is most stable so i always switch back.
For your swell, i got fc on zzmoove. Other than smartmax, whats the other stable governor? I think should only keep the stable governor.
Lastly, i thank your for your hard and excellent work.

I would be very interested in a performance oriented kernel from scratch. I don't care much for all the other governors, I think that one should stick to well known and tested governors like interactive and ondemand(I'm using slimrom with ondemand governor right now). It's not the most battery friendly governor but i just don't mind it because I really hate seeing lag and stutter on my phone and it's like you said, battery oriented kernels tend to cause stutters and lag. Many users probably don't even care about stutters like me (proof of that is that I see a lot of people saying that oxygen os works perfectly and with good performance lol). Ondemand makes the phone really fast and I don't mind having a bit lower battery life honestly. I wish I knew how to tweak ondemand better though

ISO fs capability would be i nice (yet mostly useless feature). Also honestly i got no idea how hard it is to implement sth like that. [emoji14]
However i'm pretty satisfied by ur swell kernel. Don't really miss anything :highfive:

Smoothness and battery, we all have witnessed in Swell. For me it's outstanding kernel, I don't want to go with any other but then you're willing to work on new kernel, I'd need Swell part two with working USB ETHERNET module. <3
