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?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
Hello!
I'm now running PA 3.99 with Franco Kernel.
I saw Trinity Kernel and wanted to try it.
Who is better for battery life?
How should I install Trinity?
I noticed that there are some instructions but didn't got it fully .
Thanks in advance!

best would be to reinstall your rom(without wiping anything) and trinity kernel, but flashing trinity on top will work as well(dont wipe anything).

Great, Thanks!
please avoid comparing kernels, ROMs, ....
every kernel is "best" in something.

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.
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.
3. AGNi Kernel V5.1 --- The Beleaguer
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.
Enjoy

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. If you lost IMEI and has no back-up, read my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/guide-how-to-restore-efs-i9300-t2726998

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.
