What Rom/Kernel combination works best for you? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

what combination has worked well for you (issue free) ?
I'm asking because I've been getting some black screen of death and reboots. I've been swapping between Triforce with AGAT and KT kernels.

Dude this thread is going to get locked. Theres a "best" anything really, just try them out yourself really and see which one fixes your problems and works best for you.

Stock/stock. My phone doesn't like custom kernels for some weird reason. It heats up quickly with one on or the keyboard starts flaking out.

No Comment lol

Slim Bean (4.2.2 stable or 4.3 build 4) worked for me without issue, with either the installed Slim kernel or Chronic. I'm on Carbon 4.3 nightlies now, however NFC is broken.

I think this should be more of a general topic...
But I personally love CM. Flashed 10.2 (usually the latest nightlies or a few days behind), and the speed and stability is amazing (even for a nightly!)

Triforce 3.1 by Unknownforce with agats kernel. Also Sacs rom is great right there with Triforce.

Sacs ROM, Agat kernel, cerj's blue chrome theme, BAM!:thumbup:
Good stuff.

The 09/09 Carbon nightly now has working NFC (along with everything else). I'm a big fan of Chronic kernel, although I do still use the KTweaker app to mess with it.

Choose ROM and Kernel

Hello all, I have a Nexus S device.
Before JB I use to flash CM every day and it works great. Now I have installed official JB and I want to speed-up my little machine.
Which ROM/kernel do you recommend?
I need stability and battery life.
Thanks and best regards.

I have this combo too. Everything is smooth and the battery life is very good.

There is no "best" combo and often these types of threads are closed. Why? Every phone runs in a different way. I say pick 1 ROM and kernel, give it 2 days and then switch it up. It is easy to clean install with TB. Example: try Cm10 stable version with latest marmite. Then try it with Matr1x kernel, etc. Then try AOKP with marmite, Matr1x, Trinity, etc. then try another ROM with ....
Find what is best for YOU. We all like different things and all our phones perform different on different combos.
Flash and have fun!
Thanks!
I will try CM10 with marmite.
Best regards.
I'd recommend Paranoid Android with matr1x kernel....lightning fast, very stabile, fully-featured, CM-based, and the best battery life of any combo for me
Everyone has their own preferences, so really it comes down to what you are looking for. Personally I'm running Strawberry (Metal Dragon Overlord or whatever) and Marmite 7.1. I'm not quite ready to test the 4.2 ROMs, but I know people who are running them and loving them.
Hell - people like to go back to Gingerbread!

I've found AOKP with the Marmite 7.1.3 kernel works well for me. Fast, stable, and good battery life.

Me too!
I'm on RasbeanJelly + AirKernel, great combo too.
I'm on CM10 but haven't flashed a different kernel..
Really happy of phone's performance so far but perhaps battery life is improvable..
Since so many of you are happy with Marmite I guess I'll give it a shot..
I'm coming from AOKP JB milestone1 which was the best JB ROM i had tried since to days ago.I now have Jellyshot with marmite kernel and everything is smooth and stable.If you want a JB rom try this.
Could somebody port jellyshot to the ns4g?

Ok people,
I have CM10 and followed your advise.. just flashed Marmite 7.1 kernel
I was expecting to see in kernel version (in phone settings) something like Marmite 7.1 blabla.. instead I see an 3.0.52-bedalus_CM-0347--blablabla..
I know mr Bedalus is the developer of Marmite, but anyway I just wanna make sure and make this stupid question..
Do you see the same blabla kernel version as I do or have I somehow not flashed the kernel right
forgive my noobness :angel:

Sounds like everything is fine. Enjoy. Try other ROM and kernel combinations to find the one you like best. The Nexus S development section is still active, if not more active since 4.2, have fun.

Running ktoonsez kernel and it has been great. Battery life seems the same (this is going to depend on what governor you select and what OV/UV...I'm on ktoonservativeq) as stock kernel but much smoother and way more options. Have not tried agat63's yet but I'm sure it is solid as well.

Ktoonsez !!

faux123 003 kernel has gave me the best battery life so far.. ktoonsez kernel ran good also but i got better battery life with faux kernel.. but kernel run diff for everyone.. one kernel mite run perfect for one and not the other.. test a few and find one that works well with your phone
The best kernel is which ever one works best for you.
Everyone uses their phone differently and every phone has minute manufacturing differences which make the best kernel for me not the best kernel for you.
Try them all for a few days and you quickly find the one that is best for you.

Which kernel to choose?

Currently thinking about flashing a kernel so I can have some overclocking abilities. Prolly going to flash AGAT Gs4 v3, hopefully there are no bugs left. Currently rooted in mdc still, with hot spot mod. Using Team Win Recovery. Any concerns or compliments before I flash? Had problems before with kernels on a Gs3 that hard bricked device, but That was back when I didn't know a whole lot about flashing with Samsung devices.

I use ktoonsez right now and it's awesome~! It's very stable, allows for granular control over governor, schedular, and voltage settings. I highly recommend it.

It says must have touch wiz Rom. The TW is stock rom isn't it not? I also contemplated trying this one, it s just that AGAT seems more of a stock kernel?

TW rom is anything not AOSP/AOKP and based off Touchwiz (yes, stock rom is a TW rom). There are numerous custom TW roms in Dev section. Also, either agat63, faux123, or ktoonsez TW kernels work fine with stock rom. They will have different results and vary from device to device. Only way to find out which will work better for you is to flash them.
Currently I'm running ktoonsez TW kernel on stock rom but used faux123 kernel on my S3 and it worked great so will probably try it as well.
Flashing to ktoonsez, see you on the flip side. ..

yea you need the latest supersu. I'm on ktoonz now and it's wonderful. I do get some force closings here and there but idk what to attribute that to. faw faux also has a kick ass kernel that has dynamic fsync among other things

I do have the latest super su. The notification isnt really a bother. It get s to hang out up there with the mdl update. Seems like this turned into my own kernel test topic only had one reboot but that was cuz the battery died. I think, phone wouldn't turn back on until I plugged back in. Weird though couldve swore I had 20% Battery left.
Btw, this kernel is pretty sweet so far, it s funny because my desktop has only a mere 2.3ghz processor, and I'm getting my phone up overclocked to 2.1ghz. Haven't really went higher than that even though you can.

have u tried going back to stock first? i believe it's a hardware issue because in my experiences using so many custom roms based on aosp, cm and aokp, i never even seen the screen flickering issue at all.

Issue solved please close

Hey guys I just rooted and installed a few custom ROMs on my n4. When I install a custom 4.3 kernel on any 4.3 ROM I get ridiculous flickering issues. It never happened on stock and only happens on custom ROMs when flashing another kernel. Am I missing something obvious? I have searched for an answer but have come up empty. Any help would be appreciated cuz I really would like to run Franco or faux ( my two favs from my Gnex days). Thanks a lot guys
Edit: sorry I meant to put this in q and a mods feel free to move

Flash the proper kernel for you ROM hint there are two different builds for 4.3
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I did flash the correct kernel. At least I think I'm running cm 4.3 (jss15j) and I tried flashing faux's latest 4.3 kernel. If that is for some reason incorrect which faux or Franco would u recommend?
Edit. Ahh I see what u mean by two different builds. Thanks I thought there was only one build on 4.3
