*roms with bugs are non included neither here nor the website. example:CM9 has a lot of bugs(http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/Experimental:GT-I9000:Known_issues) so that's why he is not included here for those who wondered..

This poll is fail. You forgot several ROMs.

Elite v10

True.

What is the definition of "true information" and "all roms are bug free and totally stable"?
(from OP)
Reading some posts in the threads for those roms/kernels makes me wonder...
Sent from my GT-I9000

Slim ICS is the Best

well I did not put CM9 cuz as far as I know, CM9 rom includes a lot of bugs doesn't it?
and Ive tried a lot of roms from here too
and if something is wrong- ill fix it

Some are running CM9 without "many" bugs. some say it's even stable enough to show to your friends.
On that bombshell everyone runs whatever they see fit, and just "cruising" through the DEV section one should make a pretty good idea what is being in the top used ROMs.
There is no this is better than this, for 80% of ppl owning a SGS1 probably what was pre-installed on their phone was better than it was for the rest of us "kids" playing with fire. From experience I tell you that what works for you is the best ROM - heck there are still strong supporters of FROYO (if you know what I mean ).

ROM and Kernel

Hey guys have just installed taboonay's Rom on my Acer and so far it is not too bad. I am using AOKP on my Galaxy Nexus which is awesome, is there anything similar for the Acer. Also does anyone use Franco's Kernel at all? If not, what is a good one?

With ICS, there is only 1 OC/UV kernel, and that is by EZTerry. With kernels, each is specific to the device&OS, so you really can't swap kernels around. You can find EZTerry's ICS kernel easily in the Dev forum.
AOKP? At one time there were a couple folks tried doing a Kang but they were using a non-GPL kernel, so they were not allowed to post here.

Presentation, xda-noob :P

Hi people, I'm new here, I'm new on android, I have bought an SGS2 2 months ago and I was learning so much about android's world. I have rooted my phone with tutorials found here and waiting por JB update from Samsung... and tired of waiting I flash the Kaffee4eck aosp rom with aroma hehehe. Great comunity, great people over here, I am not a developer but I look forward to be part of this great comunity, I am learning a lot about this great phone thanks to all of you.
I m not sure if this is the right place for an presentation... excuse me if I am wrong.
I live in spanish, work on an ship in engine department and want to learn more and more!
Regards from Spain and sorry for my bad english,.. Kaffee4eck, I cannot post in rom's post because I'm new here, thanks for a powerfull ROM, its fast and smooth! but i think that's a issue with volume on headphones, volume is to low.

Which kernel are you on?
Are you using Extweaks? Extweaks has an option to amplify volume for headphones but I don't know whether it works with kernels other than Siyah.

I'm using dream kernel and no, extweaks not installed. I think that's an issue because on ICS stock rom, volume works loud on headphones.
thx

I have used Siyah with various ROMs without bothering whether the ROM and kernel are compatible or not. Luckily enough haven't had any problems till now but have heard of nasty things that can happen if they are not compatible.
You can search whether Siyah is compatible with your ROM and if yes, flash it through CWM. Install Extweaks and amplify volume. As always anything you do with kernel carries certain amount of risk.

looking on rom's thread I read that siyah isn't compatible, maybe phone can't boot. I will try if extweaks can run on my kernel

Nice, extweaks works properly with dreamkernel and the headphones audio boost works nice, thanks for you man ^^

Nice to meet you, welcome.
Cheers

Siyah kernal and Ressurection Remix rom goes well together, including extweaks , very stable IMO
ps: welcome to XDA

Glad it helped.

I think that when I would change my ROM, i will try RR or ReVolt :laugh:

Hi
XDA is a great community, your english is fine, although the need to start a thread was not needed, and this thread has already started to break forum rules by talking about what Roms, Kernels, e.t.c. Thread Closed

[Q] Which custom rom to start with???

I used to flash my last Note N7000 every now and then, I was a gr8 fan of villain rom/criskelo and kingdroid etc .....
But it was last year, after that I bought N7100 (after selling n7000) in January .....since then Im using stock rom with root (stock kernel)....
But now again, I feel like using a custom rom but when I visited the "Android Development" and "Original Android Development" section in N7100 , I got confused which rom to start with as there are so many roms/kernels.... I think Im very late to visit this section....
Can anybody plz suggest which rom and kernel is popular among u which has better stability/functionality and also suggest me a better kernel like I had Philz/Hydracore kernel for n7000 last year..... ????

I'm going to suggest something that is the complete opposite of the ROM I imagine you actually want. Maybe you should live in someone else's shoes for a while:
CM10.1 nightlies.

My signature.
Tested.
Opinion.

For me ill suggest cm 10.1 nightly its perfect to me with is own kernal
sent from xda-app
device : note2
ROM : cm10.1 nightl

Best rom threads are frowned upon on xda because there are to many user variables to say one rom is best. Best to try some and find the one that works best for you personally.

Custom cm12 kernel for trltespr

So as most know we have a multitude of custom lp Roms..... But one thing we are seriously missing and I personally am craving is a custom kernel..... So this is a sort of shout out to any kernel devs or folks who are capable or even folks who are in league with kernel devs....... Our phone should have this......... So.... Having said that....I would request that if anyone is able or knowing or willing... Let's get cracking..... Lol......I do a fair amount of tweaking but kernels in at a loss never put my hands at it so I wouldn't even know where to start...... This is my humble plea that we acquire a custom kernel..... Thanks.....

I am willing to test any kernels that come over to our device!

Undervolting cm12 would be so bad ass. I'm such a nerd. I hope ktoonsez comes around these parts iirc he makes kernels for one of the variants

Been running this all day and its stable. When I mess with the advanced settings slightly less Lol but with stock settings it's very stable. Do your recommend turning on intelliplug? What's the best app to tweak it? Wats ur favorite governor? So many questions and excitement for the custom kernel lol

I have intelliplug on, I use Fauxclock to tweak it and I use the interactive_pro governor!

After flashing 2/18 beanstalk, the kernel caused a graphical glitch and system crash when going to recent apps. Stock kernel is fine. By crash I mean it looks like a boot loop but won't turn back on with a blank screen.

There have been some kernel and vendor updates based off the lp ota for another note 4 device... I'm wondering if others have not updated their sources... If that's the case this could be the problem

Are you saying the 2.23 kernel is too old to use with a 3.2 cm build? Also if i heard you right in another thread are you trying to compile unofficial versions of this kernel? @spleef

Very much so the more custom cm kernels the better... The Zion one is amazing.... If you haven't tried it I would suggest it... If he's updated it to the newest kernel source... Idk....I tried building with it but ran into some errors so I went back to the regular cm based one.... Would love to see more kernel development for us

Kernel source is out

I too can confirm not booting for the March 21st build. I am using the cm12 official 03-12 nightly build.
Thank you spleef for all of your hard work on CM12 and the kernel for it. I have been testing the kernel since you posted it and the march 10th kernel is one I am running currently it is very stable speedy, and has very little problems.

I been using trltespr cm12 and the only issue I've stumbled was the heating issue near the back camera and the gaming peformance heats my phone excessively. Is there a possible way to port or install the OE1 stock kernel?
