Hi
Ive recently decided to try a custom rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353 ), and i loaded the Googy-Max kernel ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741181 ) which was included.
Now ive watched a few videos with other custom roms and kernels, and im wondering. What is the best kernel?
Ive heard about the Alucard kernel ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590246 ),
Is it better/worse or the same?
Also there's this one continuing Googys work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../kernel-hulk-kernel-v1-stweaks-based-t3050469
Any other suggestions etc. are also appreciated im newbie when it comes to flashing Kernels.
Alucard has a lot more stuff that you can tweak. Unfortunately it also has a problem with that rom. For some reason there is high battery drain on that rom when using Alucard's kernel. I also tried that Hulk kernel and had the same battery drain. The only kernel where this didn't happen was Googy-Max.
Hulk kernel is based off Googy Max. I currently use it in place of Googy Max and haven't seen the battery drain you have.
Is it better or worse than Googy's kernel?
I don't know what "it" is. You'll need to clarify your question by explicitly stating what kernel you're referring to, and for that matter, whom the question is addressed to.

The hulk kernel - I tried to quote you, dont know why it didnt show up.
The answer to the question is that right now they're both equal in quality as Hulk kernel is built off Googy Max. However, Hulk kernel will be updated while Googy Max is discontinued.

Hey guys... Just rooted my Nexus 7. I did some research on kernels and found out the two most popular ones are motley kernel and trinity kernel. Can you please explain the differences among the two and which one is better? Thanks a lot..

I've tried the available kernels a few different times and I personally like Faux's kernel most of all. It's nice and smooth like the others but runs quite a bit cooler for me when gaming.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804374
When I first joined this forum I flashed whatever was the most popular. Those are not always the best.
Why don't you flash them all and see which one works the best for you? Some kernels get you a few hundred points more on a benchmark, but no real difference in every-day usage. I am currently making my rounds of the kernels, currently trying Faux's latest ES Beta build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31508178&postcount=421. Rolling with AOKP Official.
Hi,
I tried Faux Kernel, Trinity kernel and Mothley kernel. Wich is better hmm.
- Trinity Kernel : My device is just not as smooth as the stock kernel. Disliked.
- Mothley : Much smoother then Trinity Kernel but still hard to say if it is more then the Stock.
- Faux Kernel : It is not slower then stock. It is as smooth, maybe even more ?
Guys I have a question.
I have stock rom but I'm using custom kernel expecially for UnderVolt.
I want UV not for battery life, that IMHO don't get incresed that much, but for heat reason.
Is it possible to have a stock kernel just with undervolting? Would be that hard to build such a kernel by myself?

No, you cannot undervolt with a stock kernel. If you know how to enable undervolting in a kernel then good job!

Why would you prefer stock kernel vs other custom one? You get better results witth custom
In the Harsh kernel thread he's provided stock kernel with UV several times you can do a search there or ask there, also Harsh kernel itself is modified stock kernel with tons of optimizations, UV etc
So I have been playing around with a few different kernels while running WanamLite and I just thought I would check to see how much more performance they gave the phone on benchmark tests. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if maybe Antutu doesn't like the custom Kernel, but I am getting around 26,000 with the ATT stock Kernel and 18,000 with KToonsez kernel. Is this normal? If so, does that mean the stock kernel will actually be faster than overclocking with a custom kernel. Sorry if this is a stupid question, I was just curious and did a search and couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance!!
Hi guys, fairly new to modding my phone, have tried a few different roms and kernels over the last week, and have sort of settled on cyanogen CM12.1 lolliop 5.1.1. with the kernel that comes with the rom. I've been seeing a few posts/roms that claim its possible to overclock the processor to 2.7ghz now I've tried to install synapse, and stweaks neither of which seem compatible, so I have kernel adiutor installed, but the max frequency it will offer me is 2,3 ghz, am I missing something? can't seem to find any info, can anyone point me in the right direction please

No apps can overclock if the kernel doesn't support the overclock.
Not all phones can can reach so high overclock.
Get arters kernel for cm12.1. Or use cm12.1 by temasek which supports up to 2.5
Thanks for the advise, I'm going to install arters kernel now and see what happens
I installed the arter kernel, and still no overclocking, also reduced my Antutu bench from 45403 down to 3400ish, so gone back to cm12.1 kernel for now. any ideas why I can't increase mas cpu speed?
Maybe it doesn't support till 2.7GHz. Try different kernel

Thanks Kenny, how can I do that? and is it possible to change something in the code to make it overclockable?

Ok. well I have an update, I flashed the kitkat 4.4 liquid smooth rom yesterday, and that allowed me to overclock the cpu but unfortunatly, even overclocked it was slower than Tamasks cm12.1 rom, I also tried the liquid smooth lollipop rom, but again, it didn't allow me to overclock the cpu, it was faster than the kitkat rom, but still not as fast as the cm12.1 so I've gone back to that for now. Its looking like something to do with the lollipop version of android thats stopping the cpu from being overclocked....
Hm strange
We have another post for ROM. Why do we not have another post for Kernel ?
As we can see, we have more than 5 kernels that are from XDA developer or someone else. But which one is really good for your ROM and which one still keep updating ?
I have been using OP5T for 2 months. Have used so many kernels but i still got stuck in those and do not know which is more stable. I am planning to use the kernel from Blu_Spark. Is that good ?
Post your favourite kernel and tell everybody why you use that. It will help newbie to pick what they want.
I am using Flash kernel at the moment but I have already tried Blu, franko, arter, ElementalX etc, but honestly for me it's difficult to see any difference since this phone have already a great battery life and great speed. On my previous phone (S8) the custom kernel gives a big advantage since the phone have tons of bloat and and isn't running stock like Android.

I have tried Blu and Franco for now and both have been very good. I really think kernel performance depends on the combo with the ROM as well as your device. I'm on Liquid Remix with Franco currently but I may give Resurrection Remix a try with Flash. If I had more time, I'd flash every ROM with every kernel to get a feel for all the possibilities LOL. :good:
For me Franco and flash kernel are the Best.... Now with ob3 with Franco kernel

Did the Franco improve battery or performance? Someone Tried the Boeffla?
At the moment, both Flash Kernel and RenderKernel are great options in my opinion. I have tried most of the other kernels on xda and if you are looking specifically for smoothness/speed, these are the two you should test first. I do not run battery cycles; everyones daily use scenario really differs too much.
Flash Kernel currently has some kernel features I need (Kcal support & wakelock blocker) while RenderKernel does not have these features quite yet. While it lacks in some features, RenderKernel is undoubtedly the smoothest kernel for 5T right now.
I am on a 5T with OOS 5.0.3.
I like Franco but recently some custom ROMs have WIFI cannot turn on problem after I flash Franco kernel.
:fingers-crossed:
(Don't blame any devs here just sharing.)

I haven't really played around with Kernel choices much.
I use and appreciate the professionalism of ElementalX kernel.
With it's options to adjust for extreme brightness, it quickly became a favorite a couple years ago and I've just stuck with it since.
Now most devs are adding high brightness to their kernels.
I guess I can start checking other kernels out.
I do like that ElementalX stays very stockish, reliable.
I can pretty much flash it and feel confident nothing weird will pop up over the next few days.

ElementalX, Franco, and flash were all my go-to kernels back in the 6p days (just a few months ago, lol), so it's hard to pick, especially since they all ended up on the 5t. Right now I'm on exkernel though I am partial to flash. Battery life is amazing on all 3, but the overclock on ex just adds that extra bit of smoothness that I've never experienced before. Call it placebo but I just love this kernel (exkernel).
any more input?
im curious to know if fsync affects battery performance at all, can someone also test this out if you are on a kernel that enables disabling the fsync feature

Tried it but didn't notice any difference.
Technically it should improve performance when using the phone, but it won't be noticeable.

simple and steady, close to stock for daily using.

Does flashing a custom kernel solves Google play services battery drain?
Do I need custom recovery and root to flash a custom kernel? I'm not willing to play with kernel adiutor so I'm not really interested in rooting

Custom kernel has nothing to do with google play services. You need custom recovery to flash a kernel, but most kernels for op5t are "flash & forget" which mean there is no reason to change the setting of the kernel.

maybe not Google play services specifically, but with my latest phone (zuk z2), kernel was directly related to deep sleep
stock OOS/kernel has a serious issue with Google PS in terms of deep sleep. Besides that, I dont feel any need to flash a custom kernel. SOT is incredible already, and performance is really fluid.

If you are OK then there is no need to flash a kernel. If an app is crap (like Google services or facebook) the kernel can't do miracles and its not kernels job to control wakelocks of user apps

I keep changing between blu and new kernel
Not sure which to stick with but I think new kernel gives me a bit more battery
