[Q] Is the 3.0 Kernel suitable for daily use? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, fellow defy owners,
I've got an MB526 with CM11 and the 2.6 kernel, OC'ed to stable 1.3Ghz.
I rely on my phone for phone calls, permanent data connection, as well as online/offline GPS navigation. I can live without video recording.
Can I use the 3.0 Kernel as a daily driver? I read somewhere that magnetometer is not working (a few months ago), isnt that used for GPS?
Also, I read that OC is not implemented in the latest kernel, but 1.1Ghz can be enabled. Would 1.1Ghz w/ 3.0 be faster than 1.3Ghz w/2.6?
Yeah, I know I should get a new phone, but with all the features/tweaks I have on my defy , it would be a downgrade more than an upgrade, honestly, so I'll probably keep it for 1 or 2 more years.
Should I upgrade to the 3.0 Kernel? Any feedback is appreciated!

i think the kernel 3.0 still raw and is not suitable for daily use. my recently experiments were versions 201409XX or earlier.

yet. kernel 3.0 is still on the old version of partitions. and it makes it not interesting at this stage.

Semi new to the forums. Usually lurked around, downloaded roms and stuff and just stayed quiet. Basically just trying to get my post count up so I can finally reply in the evo 4g dev section lol... not gonna lie about that. SO how is everyone and what do you like about the evo. Best rom/kernel combo and why?
Best rom/kernel combo and why?

As everyone will tell you, there is no "best rom/kernal" combo. Every single evo is different with theh way it handles roms and kernals, so you will just have to try out a few combos for yourself.
I need the 10 count also ... so here's a bump for ya

One more bump.
---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------
I tried CM7 first, it was smooth and easy to set up. Nothing special about the ROM. Then I tried Destroyer v.2 and it was amazing. Easy set uand p very fast. Never messed with the kernel in either. I have a nandroid of Destroyer v.2 saved for my back up (which has saved me a couple times already). Then I heard about Boot Manager which allows you to have 5 roms on the same phone!!! I had to try it. First thing I tried was loading evo-dec on the slot, and turned my phone into a brick at Publix. Panic set in. Managed to restore the Destroyer v.2 and found out evo-deck doesn't work with boot mamanger ... ... I should have read the notes. Tried Miui, loved it, for a week, and tied flashing new kernel, tiamat 4.1, did not work. SOOOOOO as I hate giving up 4g, which MIUI does NOT have and never will, I am trying Evo-Deck 1.1.3 (I think), his latest, with the stock kernel. So far, so good. SMOOTH and fast. I've done all this for space on my phone, and battery life. All of them improved me over stock. All of this in the last month. Now if I can just find a 12 step program for flashaholics, I'm good That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[Q] Kernel and Colors on N4

Hey folks !
I recently flashed a 4.4 port of the N5 but missed my Pie control so I reverted back to my previous ROM (Xylon 4.2.2) I didn't do any backup with CWM so I had to fully reflash all my stuff. Things I've done successfully. But I noticed that the latest Xylon 4.2.2 handle the color thing very badly. (too dark). Is there anything I can do to get thing better here ? kernel or something that have a good color profil ? I love the N4 because of the natural color it provides but here it's like I'm back on Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I kind of dislike.
Any help will be highly appreciated guys.
Thanks a lot

Hi, you need to flash another kernel with a different color profile, I'm not sure which one you can try (as I'm using KitKat right now and I got the phone a few months ago) but I'm certain that is kernel related.
I remember using PA and the colors were darky too, and those color settings were on the kernel.

hi, so you are searching for a 4.2.2 kernel?
hmm, thats kind of hard, because most devs updated their kernel sources about 2 month ago onto a higher lvl.
here is a link to faux's kernels for 4.2.2
faux.androidro.ms/mako/jb42/
if it suits your needs, you can edit the color profiles with tricksterMOD (from the playstore) like these:
docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoDp2qRui0u0dGE4T2gtSDBTRHVFSldPS2RrX1Rya0E#gid=6
.. or take one of the build in color profils, if you purchased faux kernel enhancement pro
also there can be other old kernels found, e.g. by franco or DerKernel (in fact, last one does not support color profiles :/ )
---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------
found a pa kernel on goo.im, but compiled in february :/
goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/mako/pa_mako-Kernel422_CalibratedHoloBlue.zip
...
Thanks guys.
Yep I know it's tricky to find, i'd like to be on 4.4 for better luck but there is no 4.4 based ROM with Pie control yet.
I will backup my ROM with cwm and try to flash some in your post and keep you posted. (Goo.im link is down due to the moving on server they're doing there)
Thanks a lot bro I'll try the faux kernel.

[Q] [N4] franco.Kernel - r210 - WiFi Issue

First off, yes I have read this in the original kernel post
8. My Wi-Fi is borked, doesn't turn on, haz gray bars, drains battary and killed my parrot. Fix plz."
A: This Kernel has stock Wi-Fi drivers, same as stock Kernel. The problem is YOU and YOU alone. Probably installed some wtf Kernel with some wtf Wi-Fi drivers. News flash, fix your derp and stop spamming this thread with nonsense. By the way, gray bars only means you're not connected to Google servers, but your Wi-Fi works just fine.

But this is not my actual problem, I guess.
My Nexus 4 kernel history. I only used stock or franco kernel, no other kernel whatsoever.
With Android 4.4 I got back to 100% stock, complete wipe, using the "nexus root toolkit" (Back to Stock (Flash Stock + Unroot)).
The only change to my device, rooting it, apart from that 100% stock.
With 4.4.3 I decided to try franco kernel again, it was either r201 or r209, not sure anymore.
I haven't used the fraco app for a long time. The last time I used it was when there was still a beta and a stable kernel option.
Anyway, I installed franco kernel, and my WiFi issues started, but not like mentioned by franco.
So what's the issue?
Kernel installed, phone is booting, all looks fine, WiFi is connecting, all good.
As soon as I leave the WiFi area, the problem starts. The WiFi menu doesn't show any WiFi, just searching for WiFi.
When I try to turn WiFi off, the button moves to the left, but will remain black and nothing happens.
When I close and reopen the WiFi menu, WiFi button is still on "on" and WiFi is searching.
A complete phone reboot is fixing the problem, WiFi works just fine, until I leave my WiFi area again, this is also happening with any other WiFi, at Work, at my Friends house, at Starbucks, just any WiFi.
As soon as I flash Stock Kernel back, with the "nexus root toolkit" (advance options, flash stock kernel) WiFi is working fine again, all problems solved.
Today I tried again, but now with Android 4.4.4 and r210.
I have the same issue again, exactly the same.
For now I am back to stock again, but I would like to use franco kernel.
Is there anything you can thing off, that went wrong?
What could I try to fix the issue?
Thanks for help in advance,
MiLeX
This is the exactly same issue that I had on hellscore kernel. By any chance, are you on a custon rom? Cm11 maybe?
I couldnt find any solution for that, so I stick with matr1x kernel. No problems and I am happy ever after I also think stating that this is the users problem is quite rude. I mean, what is a kernel after all if only a few people can use them? And the other question is why do others kernel work and this one not?
However, try matr1x kernel and see what happens
so you've flashed stock ROM, then Franco kernel, and then r210? And no WiFi? What was the last ROM (and android version you used)?
In the nexus root toolkit, did you have "don't wipe during flash" enabled?
Are you flashing boot.img or installing zip?
What recovery?
Edit: nvm I read more details and don't anwer the questions you answered in OP

On CM11 it simply won't boot, and the colours would be borked.

I used to have the same issues with Neo kernel (oh the good old days) on my Nexus 4, but the only difference was the issue would start randomly at any circumstance. Are you undervolting or anything? Any custom WiFi manager like Chainfire's Pryfi?

I use 100% stock 4.4.4 no custom rom whatsoever.

I come to think it is caused by the android version.
Would you mind testing something out for me? Flash the following kernel: matr1x and hellscore. If hellscore didnt work, I am sure it is a kernel issue and you could do nothing about it

I just installed the Hellscore Kernal Manager, its only offering two a 4.4.3 Kernels. b47-kk 4.4.3 and b47-CM.4.4.3.
As the Kernel is not for 4.4.4 I would expect issues. Well I do know there is barely a difference from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4. but anyway.

[4.4.2]*Comparison of greatest kernels for our SIII* [GT-i9300][SAMSUNG]

Comparison Of Greatest Kernels For Our Samsung Galaxy SIII​(GT-i9300)​
For Touchwiz Based Roms Only​
Now No More Confusion​
Few Things To Know Before Going Through This Post :-
1. This is based on my personal experience with my SIII.
2. ROM-> Glamour V8 prev+S5 Mini V4 Alpha+S5 Sensation V6(A Complete mix).
3. Review on complete stock(Pre loaded) settings.
4. I AM NOT AT ALL TRYING TO INSULT ANY KERNEL DEVELOPER.
Here We Go!​
1. Boeffla Kernel beta 6 --- The King
The Best Kernel.
Pros:-
1. Great Stability
2. Good Battery Life.
3. Great Ram management.
4. A helpful screen which displays all information about your SIII.
5. Governers are tunable.
6. Pre-loaded Boeffla Sound Settings. No need to install the boeffla sound control app.
Coins:-
1. No Dualboot.
2. Difficulty in adjusting the touch-to-wake duration timing slider.
3. No pre-loaded LMK(Low memory killer) settings which may create confusions while changing it.
4. Governers are only tunable only if you buy the donation app.
2. ArchiKernel V1.5.2 --- The Beast
The Most Advanced And Heavily Tweaked Kernel.
Pros:-
1. Average stability.
2. Very Good Battery Life.
3. Fast.
4. Options to choose from different sound mods( boeffla and woflson).
Coins:-
1. Not so good Ram management.
2. Buggy Stweak App.
3. "Any Kernel" Method- creates problems if you flash this beast kernel upon any other kernel. To flash this beast you need to flash the ROM again but I have made a stock kernel so that you dont need to flash the whole rom again . You can get it here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/kernel-t2918638
4. No pre-loaded LMK(Low memory killer) settings which may create confusions while changing it.
5. No DualBoot.

The Fire("Agni" an Indian word) Kernel. (Now I am using this)
Pros:-
1. Best and Great stability as comparison to other kernels.
2. Great Ram management.
3. Very Good Battery Life.
4. Fast and Smooth.
5. Options to choose from different LMK(Low Memory Killer) settings --- (Recommended to set Aggressive option).
6. Boeffla Sound.
Coins:-
1. No Dualboot.
2. Not that good AGNi Control App(Personally I dont like it).
4. Arter kernel v3.1.1 --- The Hybrid
The Amazing Kernel.
Pros:-
1. Good Stability.
2. Good Battery Life.
3. Good Ram management.
4. Full of customization options.
5. Few Governers are tunable.
6. Touchwake manual mode(what i love in this kernel).
7. Dual Boot
Coins:-
1. Difficulty in adjusting the touch-to-wake duration timing slider.
2. No option to tune LMK.
Upcoming :-
Sorry. Busy with my life. Nothing for now.
Warning:- I and other kernel developers are not at all responsible if anything wrong happens with you and your SIII.
Press Thanks button if my work is really helpful for you.

Where is devil kernel?
The biggest disadvantage of boeffla is lack of f2fs support. It is main reason why I'm not using it, and I never will be.
The best kernel for me is arter97's kenrel (kernel, great config app and best way to multiboot), but zram is not working (terrible multitasking), so I'm using Agni pure stock (which is almost that good like arter, but sound quality is a little worse and his app doesn't allow to change mdnie functions).
PS, coins, really ?

IMEI Lost
thanks for this effort, i actually moved to 4.4.4 (back to n00t) but lost the imei after and cannot restore it, i'll try to flash another stock ROM and see.
While your effort in writing and testing is greatly appreciated. But reading this review is like reading a very commercialized propaganda magazine that makes the ranking no sense at all.
How can you rate Boeffla number 1 and the king if it has the most con? Not to mention "4. Governers are only tunable only if you buy the donation app." is putting it mildly. You can't even choose the amount of working core, which you can in other Kernels . I can understand to tune a governor "variable" require donation. But amount of working core is a bit too much. And the description/documentation on some of the preset Governor is confusing.
I haven't tried the ArchiKernel, so I can't comment on the "1. Average stability.". But I don't think Boeffla would deserve "1. Great Stability". I used 3 kernel so far (GoogyMax, Boeffla and Agni), and preparing to test Arter Kernel, but Boeffla kernel is the only kernel that hangs on me - on a good basis when the multi-task become too intensive for the poor 1GB S3's RAM. Sure AgniKernel has some bugs - but coding bugs, no stability issue. And it weird you have "6. Boeffla Sound." under AgniKernel but not under Boeffla itself. And I'm pretty sure Arter Kernel has it too.
I can't say for Arter yet, but having great hope for it, but one of the best thing about AgniKernel is how the developer takes it preset setting for a everyday user's perspective. Not a programmer. Sure, it kernel app is geeky, but it most likely the only kernel that works great just by installing it - off the shelf, no changes needed. The preset ZRAM, memory optimization alone makes S3's crappy 1GB RAM much more usable. This along deserve a better ranking than all other kernel. Just my two cents

If you ODIN back your stock ROM for your specific model and still no IMEI - you're screwed if you have no back-up. Its more risky to try ported stock ROM than custom AOSP/CM based ROMs. I wish all modder would all mention this, since not everybody has the time to keep track what happens on Android all the time.

Coming from used a few devices, stock/ported/custom ROMs, there isn't much different between the Kernels for stock or AOSP/CM based ROMs, as long it coming from the same developer. There maybe occasional coding bug issue, but lots it related to the ROM itself. Though I might get flammed for it, but remember - stock ROM comes from same root as AOSP too. Manufacture just change and add their own stuff. And in Samsung's case - pretty bad as we all know. Custom ROMs has their problem too, one can only hope it get fixed by it more regularly updated future version.

true... i now using temasek cm10.2, funny isn't it? its may because of better ram management for me.. need further test.. else... cm11 is my last choice... because cm11 is slightly more advance in opening apps n lower lag respon(delay on opening)

Nope, perfectly understandable. The more I try, the more I feel KitKat is just a gap stopping measure for Google. It was quickly abandoned after LP.
4.1 was pretty balanced overall
4.3 probably the most feature packed since 4.x ICS, downside - the more resource hungry one goes to JB.
4.4 this is when Google realize it getting out of hand with the lack of optimization. Its is the quickest response of 4.0 branch and RAM usage is like 4.1 but for me, the battery drain seems worse than 4.3 in actual usage (screen-on activity), than again it could be the Kernel. But for two difference devices and ROM/kernel combo... I don't think so.
I'm on KK now purely because of security. Despite I had Xprivacy, my phone was giving problems (think some malware) and I had to do a clean install after about a year. And I don't install any app or play games after I set everything up. Phone ins't a gadget or gaming device for me, it for work, e-mail and internet - that it. If it wasn't for that I'm more than happy to stay on 4.3.

I updated kernel which old version based on @tsvetkov_vlad kernel source, now using ported sidecore kernel from @side
Experimental Update:
- Added GPU OC to 600 MHz
The overclock is bad for our device?

I want to try it but ... How much is the difference in energy consumption with the maximum frequencies in cpu and gpu?
Is it harmful to use them?
Try installing the zip for the gpu but after flashing it the phone stayed in the Samsung logo. Not even start Lineageos14.1.
Although the zip for the overclock to the processor if it works.
Why does that happen with the gpu?

it's buggy for gpu oc as is named "experimental".... use kernel without gpu oc
