Yes, The DarkKnight is rising again

Hi Dharam,
I'm on Checkrom V7 and wait for a DarkKnight LQ5 Kernel
Do they really stop developing for SG2?

I think they really stopped,leomar wrote "no more s2 developing" on CR forum ,so...

can anyone recommend a governor best suited for heavy use? smartassv2 doesn't really handle resource-intensive apps very well.

Hi,
i wanted to thank you for this fantastic Kernel.
Using it ont CM9 RC2.
I'm coming from Siyah, and Fluxi, but your Kernel just blows everything away. Best Battery Life of all.
And with the upcoming fixes, especially BLN, it will be even better! Good Luck with your exams! And keep up this Good work.
Adding some Screenshots of my Battery Stats, and still 30% left(kernel default settings):
Edit: Added 2 new Screenshots, resulting in a Screen-On-Time with 5h 11m. I'm very happy with that.

Hi i use siyah with miui i want to install asnet and darkknight!
I like to know if darkkn. is for battery saving or / and preformance ?
I like to play gtaIII and other games so preformance and stability is important anny one has exp. or a tip ? tanks

First try the default settings. If they are not good for your usage, you can try to overclock to 1200 and to change governor to ondemand or pegasusq..

This was my first full cycle with DarkKnight v1.9.2, and the SensatioN ROM 3.5. And these are my results.
On the phone i was basically using chrome and whatsapp. I have no widgets on my homescreen and used the default kernel settings without changing anything. Note that i have a different non-samsung battery from "anker" with 1900mAh.
I think these are pretty decent results for the first cycle so keep up the good work
Ill continue to test your kernel, maybe also with different roms like cm9 rc2.

This is another one of my longest screen on time. The uptime is just 7hrs+ tho, I think.
Ondemand & sio
Auto Brightness
200-800mhz

Hey, i can't post in the development section, so i'm asking in this thread:
flashed 1.9.2 today and can't disable the LEDs. if i disable them in the system settings they stay disabled as long as i don't lock the screen. after unlocking they are enabled again. hadn't that problem with 1.8.
cache and dalvik already wiped.
any suggestions?

How do you guys get such great battery with high screen time? I have brightness set to auto. Whenever I have the screen on I can see my battery % drop very quickly.

Your favorite rom, kernel and settings

Hi guys! Lot's of threads are about "the best rom" or "best kernel and battery life" but there is no best rom or kernel. Everyone has his own taste Please share your favorite rom&kernel + your settings. and offcourse share your experience with performance and battery life
I'm currently trying out a few roms and will get back when I see some good replies here!

I'm on stock 4.1.2 image with stockish custom kernel from _thalamus and it's great compared to 4.1.1. Chrome runs at same speed as stock Browser now and memory management got alot better.

One problem with stock ROMs: features limited, otherwise, they are great in terms of stability.
For me, i'm balancing between codenameandroid and MIUI(miui.us versions).

Was using CNA before for 2 months, but always thought that stock is more smoother. Don't mind that much for features and got fed up with constant updating.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

I used stock non rooted for some time and I liked the smoothness. The thing I missed was BLN and some other options. Also the battery life with moderate use is less good then some custom roms. Now flashing strawberry rom =)

I'm rocking CM10 w/ Marmite right now since they merged in 4.1.2 asap.. As soon as AOKP Build #5 is released I'm jumping back on the Unicorn saddle w/ Marmite though.. Love me some unicorns!

With rascarlos roms (Rascream before & Rasbean now) i always have 2 days. With very hard use...when i do corrections to my theme and flashing 10-20 times a day...have all day of battery.
On the road with my NexusS...

I'm going to try that as i too have rasbean jelly 10/10 build on my ns4g w/ marmite kernel 4.8.7. This combo plays very nice as well. I've had no reboots and the battery life gets me to about 24 - 32 hours of life. Going to see if i can actually beat that with Trinity kernel.

TNS11-JB-ALPHA12 is this the t11 kernel you use?

What are good kernel settings for marmite to get good battery life?

Well for the 4.8.7 version, the scheduler is CFQ and i use On Demand 200min/ 1000max. I use NS Tools to put the On Demand Sampling rate at 120000 to save battery. This works for me.

How can you use rasbean jelly on the nexus s 3g? I thought it only was for the nexus s 4G version?
Oh one more thing, what does that mean if i change the on demand sampling rate from 40000 to 120000?

Actualy rasbean is 3g, but ported to 4g by Rustyjay

I'm on The Strawberry rom now. Running very very smooth and I like the battery life aleeady after one day of use. This rom is based on the rasbean source!

CM9.1.0 with default kernel and settings.
It may 'only' be ICS, but it runs better than any JB rom/kernel combo that I've tried on my phone to date.

[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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

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.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31620793

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.

There are no best rom for gaming. What you really need is a kernel. A kernel is the engine and transmission of a device. Check out Trinity kernel by Morfic.

I'd try a different ROM and kernel before you condemn the tablet. Try CM10.1 with faux kernel first.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

By best, I would assume you mean the fastest for gaming. I can only tell you what I have had most luck with. I have tried almost all the popular ROMs and kernels. Of them, it is the more obscure, simplistic ones that liked more and performed better. I am able to overclock 160% performance increase from testing using Slim Bean Build 6 ROM in conjunction with Faux123 Ultimate kernel.

[Q] Kernel issues

Hi
First post. Will try not to look the idiot or ask what has already been asked. Here goes, I am unable to find a kernel that actually improves my phone, i currently have the following -
Nexus 4
ROM - PSX V1
Moto x mod (great addition)
Stock kernel
I have tried two or three kernels including the new Trinity one which gave me a worse performance. Would someone point me in the right direction?
Could i also say a big thanks to PSX developer for a great ROM.
Regards.

Have you tried Franco...?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

did you try adjusting settings to your needs? considering the trinity kernel maxes at 1026mhz by default, until you adjust the cpu speed yourself.

So if I reinstalled trinity and used trickster to increase the cpu, I might get better results?
I haven't tried franco just yet.

Improvement is a subjective in this context. In what way? Faster? More features? Better battery life? Better sound quality? Better color? Smoother?
Benchmark means nothing. It is possible to apply the Samsung's dalvik cheat patch to your rom which will increase your benchmark score but yield no real world performance. With some settings you might get great benchmark, but the phone might get hot with poor battery life. Moreover, most benchmark programs do not tell the real story about performance. Antutu and Geekbench doesn't even work correctly with 4.4 and ART. iOS7 might get good scores sunspider javascript, but there are times when Android web performance outright beat it.
This thread falls in the category of "What is the best kernel/rom?" which is against XDA rules so I can;t help you. Research each kernel and read about its features and users feedback and find what is right for you. A lot of time stock kernel will give the best stability and battery life.
I use kernels mainly for features. There are other bigger factors about the operating system that determine battery life and performance.

What I wanted was faster and this certainly is faster. So I'm happy. Thanks for all your help.

Use latest PSX rom, put phone in freezer for 1hour, set CPU to 1800MHZ performance, GPU to 533MHZ performance if possible, raise overall cpu voltage, stop all background app, run benchmark.
