What is the best kernal period? - Hardware Hacking General

I'm using slimbean 4.3 build 1 and its STABLE for every day use. Well on my build it is. Not one crash yet and been running it for 24 hours very slick so +1 for them. But do I use the kernal that comes with ROM or should I install a seperate 'better' one?

Anyone?????????????????????

With 4.3 ROMs being fairly new, there doesn't seem to be a lot of options for an alternative beyond whatever kernel is packaged with the ROM. I imagine that as the releases mature, more and more alternative kernels will be available. Granted, I'm still using my trusty 'ol Nexus S 4G, so my choices for an alternative kernel are probably much slimmer than those with newer devices. For myself, the only reason I switched to an alternative kernel prior was to get access to alternative Schedulers/Governors to help with performance and battery life. Whether or not you should is up to you .

There is no such thing. Try a few out and decide which is best for you

Hey everyone just throwing this out there. I am a regular on the galaxy note forum but just got a n7. What is the best and quickest rom and kernel combo. At the moment I am running a friends private liquid build and motley kernel. I need more speed out of it. Any suggestions?
from the padded cell tucked away in the dark
what exactly do you need "more speed" for?
Just want to get the best out of such a powerful device

The best ROM and kernel doesn't exist, it varies for different people.

I for a rom, I personally prefer Paranoid Android, you can get Tablet UI.

Stock does the best for me.
Running stock, deodexed, with root. And the tabletUI mod. perfect.
Every rom I've tried was not near as smooth in scrolling, or as quick to open items.
Thanx for the answer guys. I have been around long enough to know there is no such thing as the best and probably should have put in peoples opinion. My bad but all ideas are welcomed coz that's how we learn

I'm using the EOS CM10 build and Trinity Seven kernel. I've tried a ****load of different combos and that combo both feels best, benched best and appears the most stable (with pretty much the only bug being with google play music).

Best rom for dd?

I currently am running liquidsmooth 3.2. I just found out that the thread for that ROM has been closed as per OP's request. I would like to switch to a different ROM but based on current choices, I don't know which one would be the best for a daily driver in terms of stability and performance. You advice would greatly appreciated.
Carbon rom is made by many off the devs from Liquid
Bionic Rom is pretty stable , basically stock with bionic patches for krait.
Paranoidandroid ROM is the way to go!

Xylon ROM is one of the most stable roms out there. I would say any of the big name roms in the Original development section are pretty stable. Codefire, Xenon, anything else that isn't in beta.
I love Rasbeanjelly and MMuzzy myself.

Basically any rom is good enough for a daily driver on this phone, I know its a Douchy answer but with a nexus its basically your opinion its not like we are using Roms on the next update with major bugs to be worked on lol

If you want something close to stock with some nice additions that add to the ROM I highly recommend MMuzzy. It's stock with the addition of clear all button for recently opened apps, T9 dialer, customizable quick settings, enhanced power menu and the addition to determine between H and H+ speeds. Other than that it is stock. But a good start for a first time ROM.

Stock + Inverted gapps
What is BEAM?
Oh and BDH is by far the best battery and performance, but not themed in any way. Eclipse has aosp themed apps on a stock base. CM10 is nice but not as good performance.
Check out Trippin' Bean. It's CM10 and pretty stable. I've been using it for the last week and have had no issues. GAPPS are inverted, as are several other apps. It is themeable and tweak able.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I installed bdh rom and it worked fine for me. It gives good battery life which is important to me. Planning to install latest version of BDH ROM. But it seems to have some FC problems. Will try it though.

Cynogen--not perfect room. Better to avoid this
Bdh rom-- tweaked for improvements in battery life. It's stock rom from Motorola
Eclipse-- stock os from google. Stable os

Trippin' Bean is very stable and is CM based. I have been using it for almost 2 weeks. I only had an issue with MMS, but I found a different MMS.apk and installed it. After verifying that the new apk worked, I let the dev know about it. Marxman immediately replaced the old MMS with the new one. He had a new release, 3.1, out that night.

The CM10 builds are stable outside of no NFC, WiFi direct, and the WiFi will act up after a few days. I think the best setup is the Eclipse ROM, which is the stock verizon ROM built with AOSP apps. Great battery, very stable, and you can move it to the stock slot on the phone to save space on the internal storage.
Check out flying jelly on droidrzr. Great battery life. Seemingly nightly OTA updates. Blur based so its fully functional.

New kid on the block too... my ROM.. the Energy ROM. Check it out in the dev forum.
have only been so far using Eclipse 1.1
battery life is average I guess - not sure if I'm expecting too much out of my M or it's merely a 2000mAh battery, what more can we expect?
I am a heavy user, always refreshing facebook, checking emails, I swap between auto brightness in the sun and minimal when indoors. Data is 3G on all the time or wifi if available..
If I start the day with 100% and I'm constantly refreshing and leaving the screen on I'd probably get about 5-6 hrs on screen time before requiring to charge again.
Some people post their 10+hours of batt life but do factor in the screen on time.. just cuz it looks nice doesn't mean it's the actual stats. After all you're not going to just buy a phone only to leave the screen off 99% of the time aren't you?

Best stable ROM for galaxy tab 2 7.0

I've tried CM, AOSPA, PAC and finally SlimBean and combined with TabletUI, Xposed framework and Holo launcher the latter one is what I like most!
Eeehhhh. I use PAC-Man. It's not the most stable thing in the world, with it's occasional fast rebooting. But, I have never seen a ROM with as many customization options as this. Throw your favorite CM theme, and your favorite icon pack for Apex or Nova launcher, maybe play around with the transparency levels and colors on your Navbar and status bar, and then... Then you have a thing of beauty right there. I like it, even though it has it's quirks.

The one found at http://download.cyanogenmod.org/
I am using the 10.1.0 RC5. I think it's the overhead of all Samsung crap that can be found on the device that makes it move like a slug. (Alas, for me the speed was barely acceptable)

Best ROM for battery life and performance?

Last time I ever flashed a ROM or participated in this was about 3 years ago. I'm pretty fresh to how this works and all but i still remember the gist of it. I just got my nexus 4 and am hoping to make it better

ROM will be pretty much irrelevant. The vast majority are AOSP based, with the differences being visual tweaks and added features, which add little, if any, drain on the battery. Some features, like pocket mode, might drain a bit more, but it's up to you to use them. All will run smooth as butter, stock. It's things like live wallpapers, excessive widgets, and apps running in the background that'll cause lag and stutters.
Custom kernels can help with battery life, but it's a small percentage, and it depends more on how you use the phone. A wakelock detector app plus Greenify can keep your phone from constantly waking and syncing, and that helps battery life a lot. And of course, screen brightness is the biggest battery killer of all.

Well if you want a really smooth and battery friendly rom, I'd recommend the L preview.. If you want a Kk rom I'd recommend liquidsmooth as it's feature packed and optimized really well. I personally have used both and right now use LS with Unleashed kernel.. It's a great combo. But in the end you gotta try out doff things to see what you like

Well I doubt you would be able to even install an ota update of the official L.. You'd have to probably flash a new rom based on it or flash the factory image once it's out.. I'm sure rooted base roms of L would come out within a week of the release so you could flash that.. But if you want the ota, then you can go back to factory image 4.4.4 after release of L and get the ota after.. But no root.
