Strange, but this is exactly the same thing I did lol.
The moment I got home with my Nexus, I immediately flashed MIUI.
Currently I'm on stock 2.3.7 with Wallet. (I've been wowing everyone at McDonalds and Best Buy with that lol)
I came from the dev failure that was, the Epic 4G.

Matrix or netarchy. I personally use matrix it gives me awesome battery life. But they're different for everyone so you will just have to try them out and see which one works for you.

Trinity. for speed/performance or for battery life, and everything in between. theres a version for all

Apocalypse Talon. Snappy, great battery life. Using it with Cyanogen 7.1. Your mileage may vary.

Hi, recently got a NS too. What is your battery life and type of usage? What governor have you set?

+1 certainly the best kernel for miui.

Congrats on your new nexus s. Great device.
As for kernels...well from my experience, i would say netarchy all the way for stability and performance combo. Never had any problems with his kernels. Its got all the usual features such as voltage control, voodoo controls etc. Very stable.
Trinity has been good for some but ive found it too unstable more often than not.
Havent really tried the matrix kernels so cant really say.
Have fun!

Franco kernel is good for cm7 and matr1x kernel is good for almost any rom
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

I use CM7 Nightly Build#229 (Best build yet) with Matr1x Kernel. But i agree that Trinity is the best Kernel for MIUI.

I highly recommend franco's kernel with custom UV settings and the lazy governor. Netarchy has been on hold recently but looks like it might be back in business soon.

try NSCollab ROM + matr1x or franco's kernel

I have 58% left after 1 day of normal usage with Matr1x kernel with ondemand enabled. I underclocked it to 800Mhz. That's enough to do my everyday stuff. When I game, I put it higher.

Hey EP, long time no see. I just traded my SGS4G for a NS so I guess I'll Be seeing you around. I went with cm.

Quadrant finally updated.. post your scores

This is still laughable to me. Still, quadrant was updated to work well with ICS. This is my score with cm7 gingerbread @1.440 ghz. Why am I above a galaxy nexus? Hmm.. :trollface:

My result with CM9 v2.1, T132-ICS-CM9 Kernel and CPU set to 200-1000 MHz, ondemand: 2257.
Of course the NS can't mess with an GN, but i'm still impressed how much performance you can gain with custom-roms and -kernels.

I'm running gingerbread deck and the matrix kernel with an overclock to 1.2...(not live oc) and got a score of sound 2966. Hopefully the official 4G build gets ics performance up a little more. I find it hard to believe my device on GB out preforms a galaxy nexus by so much...

Lol nice update like how they slapped a galaxy tab score with io hack at top to make this crap look legit.
At least now you can distinguish actual hardware scores from IO.and supports dualcore.
about the only legit thing to go by in this benchmark is the CPU
anyways enough *****ing
here is my score without any io minpluation
on Eugen's speedy 7 1.44/performance/SIO/65FPS refresh

How are you guys viewing your results? Mine tells me that the next update will include the result browser due to different scores in this version?

you have to except the new shady test result message at the end of the test

im sorry, i really couldnt resist. the sight of this thread to me was like a cat sensing catnip
a cm9 kang with trinity t144, at 1.44ghz

Use to get 3000... sad times....

Quadrant and antutu

Why do people just want to number crunch benchmarks? They really mean nothing.... The best benchmark test is how it works in real life, is the OS smooth, do the apps work well on it, any lag at all... That is the best benchmark. Christ, my old HTC desire nearly had the same scores as the stock sensation according to BM scores, in real life however is was lagging like a pig stuck in mud. Lol

There is no need to check if its true because its not.
Its probably just detected that one of the cores was turned off at the time.

Quadrant is normal. Antutu definitely looks too low. Are you using anything like setcpu or any power saving apps?

Are you triple core guys using siyah kernel? I use System Panel to monitor my phone and it only shows three active cores. Till now I didn't put much into it though, thinking that it's just because there wasn't enough load to start the fourth core. But maybe there is an issue after all?

re
hello
well i used to have very random scores varying from 5000 to 12000
yesterday i ran the test and got 12064 but when checking it says dual-core armv7 processor(vf9v3, neon)
also i have another question regarding the processor, shouldnt it be arm v9 ???

[Q] please someone help me, my Nexus for still stuck in 130. on linpack

I don't know if something with the kerner so I tried to install a new kernel, I've been trying many kernels and still the problem... Someone can help me?

I suggest chainfire method. It's very effective in trouble shooting benchmark performance.
However, if you put any trust in Quadrant scores you could use them to prove that dancing naked for 5 minutes in your garden affects device performance

thread is about on how to improve his imaginary benchmark scores that mean nothing because its all about real time performance.
phone feels buttery without any lag? thats good enough for me, i dont need a benchmark to prove that my phone runs faster.
this thread isnt about bragging benchmark results that absolutely mean nothing.

Thanks all of you guys for the advices

Best kernel for battery life?

Hi all
I'm currently running Cyanogenmod with faux's kernel and getting pretty good results, just wondered what other people are using to get great battery life?
Thanks in advance
Sam
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

No such thing as a best kernel. Some phones like certain kernels more than others. Experiences vary.
If you're looking for kernel suggestions I'd go with Franco or Trinity by morfic (Google to find his kernel as it isn't on xda).
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

This is really subjective and is something you would need to test out on your own to get any solid answers since there's so many factors that could affect the outcome.

Thank you but it was just to see what others recommend. I've heard good things about the matrix kernel
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Also when using those kernels download the app trickster mod it'll let you customize the kernel settings but don't touch anything you don't understand because you might mess something up. Franco and morfic have paid apps that customize their kernel but trickster is a free alternative until you commit to one kernel

Franco or Matrix...But while using Franco Ive seen a big difference in battery and thats just my experience with it but like the others say just try em out and see wats best for you my friend..

Agreed. Franco really knows what he's doing, no offense to the other developers. Morfic is another good developer.
Wasn't a huge fan of matrix on the Nexus S. Just my personal opinion (don't attack me because I prefer one kernel over another!)

Nothing against math kid but (not saying he does this) but there are some shady developers or Rom cookers who say they added their secret special tweaks to boost speed or performance. I don't believe it because it's placebo. If there's no proof in the source then it doesn't exist.
Franco actually says what he did, and you can see it in the results. Plus he's very adamant about replying to feedback as long as it's not a silly question like "can I under volt using this kernel???" There's a reason why he has 20k thanks
But either way enough of my rant. Hope op finds a kernel he likes. I'd start using the most popular kernel out there and use it for a couple of days. If you aren't satisfied then try another. Satisfied but want to see if you can do better? Go ahead and try. They're all free anyways, the beauty of xda

Franco doesn't support undervolting because,
I answered that the last page. UV comes when I think its a good time for it. I do my own thing, not follow what other people do on their kernels.

I really don't care much about undervolting, I think in the end its more placebo than anything. Sure it might help a little bit, but not as much as users think it does. Aggressive cpu frequency management, core management, now thats where true savings come from in my opinion.

I don't really undervolt my phone and have pretty good battery life as it is. I didn't undervolt on my Galaxy Nexus either because it had something called Smart Reflex undervolted for you when necessary. more info @ http://www.ti.com/dsp/docs/dspcontent.tsp?contentId=52746#a18
---- Franco isn't saying that there won't be UV support but as of right now he's focused on other things and will add it when it becomes more stable. And I agree with him on the second part about there are other parts of the kernel that can be worked on to have better battery life rather than just having people UV as the solution (for now).
Edit: there's a reason why his thread on GN has Views: 4,859,042 http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p163/gbd270/views_zps2644eff7.jpg

Even there's no UV on his r14, this kernel is very stable and I've a (very) good battery life

I really appreciate all your responses, so what settings do you recommend for best battery life on Franco's kernel?

If takes a couple of recharges for the kernel to come into effect. Have to give if a few days for your phone to get used to it.

If u are talking to me Ive had my phone since Thanksgiving I gave it 3 weeks before I flashed a custom kernel. My stock kernel never got any better. U got a awesome stock phone I wish I had the same luck.

A suggestion would be to add a poll and let people vote on the different kernels.
