[Q] Best kernel? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've been out of the Samsung ecosystem for a long time... start of the S3 in fact.
Any suggestions on best alternative kernel as there's no ARHD, franco or Faux for the S5 that I can see.

What is the best car? Best beer? Best colour?
Asking what the best kernel is no easier to answer since you gave us no idea of what your priorities are. Perhaps the Blaze or Phoenix kernels.

kernels can be subjective not all electronic componets are not equal, so some people get better results with agggressive HAVS and some get better with not HAVS and so forth.
Best way to do is try try different variants of types, and always nandroid before flashing. Also CFS kernels are typically for SEnse based ROMS and BFS are reserved for AOSP
Check out the Snap Kernel, that's supposed to be pretty good with CM. I agree with BrianDigital too, every evo is different. Some peoples EVO will do well with a kernel that someone else's did poorly with. Just try different ones, do a lot of reading, and find the ones that you like the most.
ok thanks guys is there a site that tell me which kernals support which roms?

it will be under the android development sub section of the our evo forums.
The header for the thread should state its a kernal and what varient it is. if your really unsure there is alot of text in there just make sure it is for either a sense based rom or AOSP and backup before flashing. I have flashed tons of them without reading the whole opening post but YMMV

Hey just saw this and wanted to say myn 5 just came out and it is awesome. I am currently just trying the kernel it came with but so far I am at 11 hours with mod use and 47% left.
Remember always: You can try them all and see which is best for your phone and personal use!

Snap or Ziggys kernel.

i have found the kernel that ships with CM6 is one of the best, followed by Zendroid 1.0.2 BFS-AVS, each kernel can have different effects on different devices, just make sure whatever kernel you try is for AOSP based roms.
also, watch out for the kernels with SBC (battery charging mod) built in, there are reports of battery issues. just something to keep in mind. some people are ok and some people are having their battery overheat.

[Kernel]Phenomenal COMING SOON...

After that many people ask me to compile a version of phenomenal (an undervolted speedmod kernel) for galaxy note, I decided to do it.
So, I HAVEN'T GALAXY NOTE! For this reason I need your help.
First I'd like know your undervolted experience, to know what voltages do you use?
Thanks!

Considering the issues with emmc and stability, I would say that Sammy is not even close to providing a correct ICS rom.
Let them just release the drivers, after all here at XDA we have all the good devs to cook us a good set of kernels for TW or AOSP roms, don't we?
That is just wishful thinking of course;-)
Sent from the great Note
Please make one for ICS.
There's a missing hole in my device, it cries out for SmartAssv2 governor on an optimized kernel. (Frequency is 400Mhz under/1.4GHz over, we don't have the voltage option yet, sigh)
I use this daily (the ones that say current, the saved ones are the original voltages) with abyss kernel 100% stable and I usually set the min speed to 400MHz and Max to 1400MHz or 1700MHz depending on my needs.
I can lower all voltages by 0.025v but then I'll get a couple crashes a week so i prefer to keep the voltages just one step higher.

I agree. We really need some good ICS metals. Apart from the CM9 kernel and DAFUQ, I do not see anything else here.
And after Entropy's warning not to flash leaked kernels, I am beginning to wonder if there is some other good kernel for ICS ROMs.
We would be grateful if make this an ICS kernel. We can live with one less good GB kernel /methinks

Does chinese leaks we must forget. Nothing wrong with thise kernels if you have a chinese Note. Look at sgs2 forum. Already samsung released there the sources and there are 5 ore more custom kernels. So samsung is doing a great job for them releasing so soon sources. We have to be patient and not start making cm9 with sources from sgs2. So stupid.

True but SGS2 sales are at least four times more than that if the note. The note is like a flagship device but its not getting the best treatment yet. We can't expect the sources to be out before the official ICS release.
I am just happy we even have official CM9 support. The problem though, is because DAFUQ supports only TW ROMs :-| and we have no good kernels (except leak ones) for the AOSP/AOKP ROMs.
So much good ROM development here for AOSP. Yet, no real safe kernels for em yet. Pity!
He's back! Another robertberma anti-spirit comment.
Excuse me for the intro, but most of the work here at XDA started with hacking and making open sourced stuff out of closed source material.
Indeed we already have a few good GB kernels, and an additional developer on ICS would be greatly appreciated. ICS is coming soon, and considering the time spent on tuning a kernel, I think that it would be more productive to start working on an ICS kernel than on GB.
However if this GB kernel is a first step to get knowledge of the Note specifics and followed by an ICS one, it's all good.
Sent from the great Note
@fenomeno83
Forgive me if this question is really nooby.
Is it possible for a custom ICS kernel to support both TW and AOSP? Are their frameworks too different?
Most (or maybe all) of the GB kernels I see here are for GB. They may be themed but I still see the TW framework everywhere.
If possible, wouldnt it be nice to make a kernel that supports both?

Hahaha I think it will not help developing ics kernel by develop a gb kernel. I just say we have to be patient and wait for sourses to continue develop a ics kernel that is save. We have great devs for aosp and cm9 roms but there hands are tied behind there backs without sourses. Now they use stupid chinese **** thats not save. We getting of topic here.
Make this gb kernel fast and i hope he continue his work when ics comes out. And make a speedy ics kernel for sammy, aosp and cm9 roms. ONE KERNEL FOR ALL ROMS.

What Kernel for....

Hi guys,
One and simple question: - what kernel to use with stock rom on N7 3G 32GB, considering:
- A kernel that would not have to mess around with frequency and other settings without overclock and deliver a better battery life.
- For performance equal (or better) to stock satisfies.
- A kernel ready to install and no need to configure anything.
What recommend following these parameters?
:good:
Tks.
looking for a simple kernel, without many and many settings and deliver a excelente batt life
I am on smoothrom v5.0 using lean kernel and while I am new to the android modding community I tried 4 or 5 kernel/ROM combos before I decided on this combo. I will say I noticed my quadrant scores increase from 3600 to 4600 w/o over clocking and my battery life increased by a decent bit. I son,t know the exact increase but it was noticeable to me over stock setup.

20mmrain,
thanks,
Stock rom i think its ok to me, but i´m open mind.
Kernel for me its more important. I´ll take a look on this.
Tks.
Suggestion- read the kernel threads in the development forum and come to your own informed opinion.
Thread reported.
Hey no problem..... Give it a look..... I am not sure if you will get the same effect using stock ROM with leankernel nor am I sure you can even use the lean kernel with the stock ROM by itself. I know they have a thread here at XDA for this kernel maybe someone there can let you know.

Improve Nexus Sound Quality?

Hi guys
I'm not too impressed with the sound quality of this phone. I was just wondering if there is any way to improve it? From what I can gather, custom Kernels like Francos only currently work on 4.2, so I'm not too sure what I can do on 4.3.
Similarly, the sound quality over bluetooth is very "hissy." I'm using Jaybuds Bluebuds X so it's definitely not because of the headphones.
Cheers in advanced for any help.

What is the best rom and kernel combined?

Hello, so far nexus 6p users have had a good year as we have been updated with many new roms including different features and stability. I would like to know how people are finding their current rom and why? I have heard many good things with roms such as dirty unicorn and as a kernel elemental x as well as franco kernel. So what's your preference? Just curious. Also, I would like to know what kinda tweaks and features that are useful so people are aware of this before they flash, feel free explaining your opinions, thanks.
Pure rom + franco kernel + greenify.
The rom includes super su which gives greenify permission to kill apps.
This all adds up to getting about 1.5 days with 6hrs SOT out of the phone with moderate use. But if you can easily make it through a day you probably end up putting your phone on charger anyway.
I do it because I enjoy tinkering with the phone & this combo is put together by individuals passionate about optimising the performance/hardware of the device.
Edit:corrected some figures & added images

I have also used pure nexus but it doesnt have the features that other roms have its basically stock with some features.
Personal preference eh. I'm on stock+elementalx+xposed. An absolute dream. Heres a quick glance at my battery after a day at work for me
That's great battery life there, what is xposed?
Im sure theres many more roms and kernels out there.

Same. 6-7 hour sot without using any greenify or any battery saving app. NOTE: im able to get this plus much smoother experience with ghostpepper. I know their other kernel profile which provide better battery life but after trying them all the best one for SMOOTHNESS and battery is ghostpepper. I can right away notice in scrolling like in apps like fb or youtube app. When u use darkspice or other which provide better battery life i get lags on those app and phone feels alot warmer. When i use ghostpepper my phone only get slighly warm when charging but cool to the touch all the time plus buttersmoothe scrolling with my 6 hour sot. Im in heaven with this phone. Sold my galaxy s7 edge by the way, my nexus 6p still the best all around phone

You can customise Pure Nexus quite a bit, but alas it is trying to maintain as close to AOSP as possible.

lol. It actually is your responsibility to figure out what the best combination is on YOUR device. You can clearly see that Pure Nexus is the most popular rom, yet you don't like it. Roms and kernels will behave differently from device to device. Just because one combination is best for one person, it doesn't mean it will be the best for you. Again, you need to figure it out by trial and error. That's what the overwhelming percentage of people do on this forum. The rest, like yourself, try to be spoonfed without putting in the work.
