usually cm9 or cm9 kangs as my rom.
now the kernel is the tricky part. its almost always Trinity, but i can use 3 or 4(or more) different versions of trinity in a day. teuv is usually my while-im-at-work kernel, but i can be using t11, t132, or t144 at any given point in the day. sometimes all of them in a day. t144 is usually the kernel i like to use when im playing around. what i like about them is that they work as intended. they are all bare bone kernels(ics versions) therefore dont contain any mods that we've all gotten used to. but that also means that the trinity kernels dont contain any introduced bugs either(that many kernels wrestle with). i know ive not really explained anything, it is what it is

simms22 = only CM rom + Trinity kernel!

I'm using kangs8 ics with eugene kernel speedy5. my favourite combo so far!

I'm using HAKA's KANGY v8 atm, pretty nice I have to say, occasional bug whilst flashing, but probably down to TWRP than anything.
I'm normally running Eugene's speedy kernel, fast, smooth and stable, the right balance of them all. Quite like the Matr1x as well.

I'm using Peter Alfonso's ICS with his stock kernel,no problems so far,the best ics rom out there !

Peter Alfonso is the way to go! to me he had the best GB rom and his ICS nightlies are nothing short

I'm using the latest CM9 kang + trinity t11 and it's smooth for me.

I'm using the Virtuous Quattro ICS RC2 ROM
Advanced Info shows kernel version as:

The only issue I have come across which is quite annoying is most videos are extremely laggy- this is irritating because its how I overcome my commute to and from work. For example the opening video sequence for Asphalt 6 HD is extremely laggy but the game plays flawlessly! I have a coupe of avi files on my device as well and they have the same problem. Sound is fine...
Apart from this everything so far functions flawlessly.

I've been using KANGY8 and SPEEDY5 up to now its been the smoothest with no reboots. Rom is butter smooth and that kernal is just crazy stable and fast. Best so far and I've flashed so many rom and kernal combinations.

I'm using AOSP+ rom with Steve Garon's kernel. I actually downclocked to 800Mhz and it gives me better battery life and it is smooth enough.

AOSP+ with Speedy-5, it's awesome.

I tried the new cm9 with matrix 14.5 and it was not stable for me. Then I tried the new gummy nexus and that rebooted every time as well lol.
AKOP 19 with any kernel or cm9 rc0 with glados have been my best combos

Hi, currently my i9023 is installed with stock ICS (ROM and kernel) and frankly, I'm quite satisfied with the performance. The battery performance is, I think, comparable with that of the stock gingerbread.
But now I'm looking for custom kernel to make battery performance even better. Do you guys have any experience what is the most suitable kernel for stock ICS, especially in battery performance area? With so many options to choose for (matr1x, kangs, eugene, and the list goes on and on... ), sometimes it can get confusing ....

HD gaming and Videos!!Which ROM/Kernel combo you use?

Hey guys
Just wanted to know your experiences with rom/kernel combos with reference to HD gaming and videos..Which rom/kernel you use and have seen is the best for gaming and 720 HD videos.. Ofcourse please mention first your setups without any overclock which have given you the best performance i.e good fps rate, no lags, no unwanted lag spikes and fps drops
Do feel free to mention your overclocked setups and the settings (like scheduler, governer etc) which give you best performance
P.S: I just want inputs from various users as there are variety of threads for getting good battery life, underclocking, undervolting etc..but there is hardly any info on extracting the best performance possible from S2
thanx

Only stock rom can give you best performance

I have not asked for a best rom/kernel from anyone in this thread. I am just asking users to share their experiences regarding high end gaming and 720p videos. When there can be a thread for undervolting and getting great battery life, why not for sharing settings for getting better HD gaming performance

am using xxlsj 4.1.2 stock deodexed it s very good exept battery life its bad

I'm using latest rootbox+latest dorimanx kernel good for me

CM9 for me, stock ROM crashes when I play two 720p videos simultaneously on super video pop up player whereas CM9 handles em well, no lag! As for gaming, TDKR doesn't lag on even CM10 n Siyah. Haven't checked on 4.2 yet.

[Q] Which is the best kernel?

What is the best kernel overall?
The best kernel for battery improvement?
Best kernel for performance?
and the best kernel for gaming?
.....and GO!

Stock.

Based on my experience. For overall excellent gaming performance with good enough battery performance, I suggest M-Kernel a25 or a27. And to over clock your device after installing the kernel, use Trickster Mod from play store.

theres no best kernel, they are all good. theres only whats best for your and your devices needs. evrybody is going to say that the best kernel is the one that they use, no one is going to say that they use the worst.

Well I base it on most popular. If its popular it means its good and works most of the time. Maybe I should've used better wording?

popular doesnt mean good. try out a few, find what your device likes. every device is different and reacts differently with each kernel.

Yes you can read there, OP just updated the score. If you want to try, try trinity for best performance, m kernel for best overall. I'm using Mkernel now, really good kernel. No problem so far.

I get about 10-11ish hours "screen on" with light use on franco kernel #38

Motley kernel

i tried
Motley kernel,
Franco kernel
Trinity Kernel
Trinity is the fastest if you tweak it good..
but on the downside the most glitch..
but Morfic just released two updates in two days...
so theyre fixing it.
So im back with Trinity Kernel.
Its good..
and the only Kernel i find that you can change GPU speed, ofcourse Using
the glitchy Trinity Toolbox

I love Franco.Kernel R31. Battery life is great and performance is good as well. R38 is the newest and great, but I feel performance is a bit lacking on 38.

Temple Run 2 smooth?

Anyone can play smoothly Temple Run 2 at "Best Visual Quality"?
I' m with last cm10, custom kernel, overclocked to 1.0 Ghz, and it isn' t smooth.
If yes, tell me which rom do you use and your overclock configuration.

i was on miui ics and honestly it was not smooth at all...
now rolling back to miui gb will update u soon

I m on JellyBeanCannon.
It runs smooth on better settings but lags on best.

For me it runs completely smooth when the app has finally booted - boot up takes quite some time.
Settings are on middle setting.
My machine:
Defy (green)
latest CM7.2 nightly by maniac

Also smooth on latest wiui gb
@1200 mHz, although it should run fine with stock settings as well

Thekguy, how long is your battery lasting running on 1200mhz?
On topic: not smooth as well on miui v4.
Now it came to my thoughts, it may be the lookout security running here.

With full charge in the morning I have around 30 % left at night with some gaming + 3G + Wi-Fi.
Vsels are:
18-300
32-600
42-800
60-1200
On topic- I find performance to be lower on the older non 2ndboot cm10 or cm9 builds
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

runs smooth on canon v8.1.1 clocked @1.2GHz frequency is according to vsel calculator!

butter smooth on official cm7.2 @1Ghz with v6 supercharger script installed!

Latest CM7 by Maniac103 here. Runs smooth on "better", a bit stuttery on "best" but still playable.

Runs without any lag on my cm10. I prefer to play it on my defy than to my O3D.
my current score is 12.4 million without any hack, I love playing this game

Smooth on CM10 1.2 GHz with better graphics and latest game update. Playable with best graphics but lags.

What is your multiplier mate

brought new nexus 4 and have issue

yesterday i brought new nexus 4 after trading my galaxy s3
i rooted my nexus installed recovery
flashed franko kernel
and installed paranoid rom
now the phone heats up too much even on normal whatsapp chatting
i tried to underclock it from setcpu but still heating is there
later i thought may b my phone doesnt handle paranoid or franco kernal
then i flashed modaco rom
but unfortunately swipe to wake doesnt work
i have still not tested the heating problem
can anyone guide me on setcpu setting or which rom / kernal to try
i am more interested in swipe to wake function

I have similar issues with a lot of Franco releases, some apps like fun run make the phone super hot. I use Motleys kernel, overall way snappier, and battery life is just as good. It's in android original development. As far as rom I use cm10 kang one by trailblazers that's built from linaro tool chain with bionic commits, it is faster than stock cm10 for sure. Try it, both kernel and ROM are built on linaro, good combo.

I know that it did, a lot of odd issues have been happening, so he took it out I'm pretty sure it is back in though. If not, I know matrix kernel has it.
