Hello all,
i have been an owner of a nexus s gsm s-lcd since August 2011 and i have been experimenting mostly with cyanogenmod and cyanogenmod based roms such as nscollab.
Using my phone mainly for my jobs, since the beginning of the usage of non official roms, i am always having stability problems ending up not trusting my phone for everyday use.
I have tried cyanogenmod stable, rc, lots of nightly builds and various nscollab versions from 1.0.39.
From my experience so far, except when using matr1x 5.5 cfs i always have some of the following problems, some times some of them and sometimes all of them:
1. reboots
2. reboots with no ability to load the os, with only solution the removal of battery
3. crashes with the result of the pin needed to be given again
4. never waking up after deep sleep
The kernels i have used so far are all the matr1x cfs(sorry, i do not trust con Kolivas and his bfs, being a linux user for 10 years), various netarchy and the stock cyanogenmod .
The only kernel that has been stable for me until now is matr1x 5.5 cfs.
The reason for not going back to the official rom, and be ok with my mobile is mainly the bln and voodoo(although i have bought the paid app and i can use the module with the official rom) modules.
The first thing I though having all these problems is that the main cause of them would be the undervolting that all most of the kernels have. After some tests i realized that with the voltages that proton suggests or even with the stock voltages, the problems do not disappear.
Although, i have found my stable kernel and i always flash matr1x 5.5 cfs in all the roms i use, i would really like to know what is the usual suspect of all these problems. Is there any possibility that some of them are not kernel related and the cause is in the source code of cyanogenmod?
To sum up, i really believe that we should try an effort to create a kernel that is very close to the stock one, and be very careful with the extra modules that we add. Although i do not have the experience of making a kernel package for android, i will try for sure to make a flashable kernel for my needs, and if it's stable i will upload it and share with all of you.
I believe that every mobile has to be bug-free(as possible), and reliable for everyday use and at least i should be reboot-free.
I would really like to read other users experience and opinions.
Regards,
Michael
it was the same for me. nscollab was unusable since it was always freezing in two minutes after boot. changing the kernel did not help. so I decided to change the rom to Nexus MV 10.05. it works very stable (not a single reboot or freeze) and faster than nscollab.

Well, I found that custom kernels can work with stock ROM's. I'm using stock Google 2.3.6 on my 9023 + pete's kernel with Voodoo sound and BLN. Stable as ****, practically no issues, I'm happy with my NS as never before just because of the lack of constant flashing the **** around to "optimize". It just works flawlessly.
Here's the link to the kernel : http://www.peteralfonso.com/2011/08/download-nexus-s-263514-kernel.html
Had the no wake issue with cm7 216 and nscol 1.4.5. On nscol 1.4.6 and no problems yet. If it happens again it would seem to be a cm7 issue. While annoying devs are constantly hunting down and correcting problems, just the way it is and doesn't bother me.

Just use nscollab .46 because that has stock voltages and you should be fine

The hole point for me is not using any other kernel but the stock one.. compile yourself a nexus s kernel (google it for how to) and be happy without any reboot, crash..
baterry? normally 1.5 days @ 1.0ghz..
You could do that as well

.45 with stock voltages caused the "pin asking" issue even with stock voltages(even with 5.5 cfs - maybe a cyanogen problem?), so that's why i am stuck at .42 with 5.5 cfs and did not even try .46.
Try .46 and lemme know

If you see, in the thread of nscollab, there are also problems with the phone dying etc, even with the new stable cyanogenmod + matr1x kernel.
I only do tests in my mobile during the weekend, because i use it all week for my job. So stuck with matr1x 5.5 until i see a really stable matr1x kernel coming after 8.

Thank you very much for posting this link. I did not know that kernel. I just found some time to flash nscollab .50 with this kernel and i only changed interactive governor with ondemand to be even closer to stock kernel.
I hope that it is as stable as it is for you.
After some hours with this new kernel, i am not sure about stability(although it seems stable) but nexus is running smoothier than ever.
I've used ondemand from the beginning I started using this kernel, then I tried interactive (default) just to try it out. Not really a difference, same stability/speed and I could get rid of NoFrillsCPU app setting the default governor at startup. So to wrap up, kernel runs beautiful from the start, no extra fiddling necessary.
I do not believe the issues described in the OP are kernel related. They persist in all custom kernels. I think it is from Dalvik VM crash but I have no proof.

As I read here I am not alone in the problems described, and after lots and lots of tests i am sure that this is a matr1x specific issue.
So, as i do not have permission to write in a development thread yet, I suggest the following:
1. if the developer of nscollab wants to continue with Matr1x kernels, makes a new release with the last well known stable kernel, which is Matr1x 5.5 until Matr1x developer finds out what is the problem with the new kernels.
2. Matr1x is replaced with another kernel, such as Peter Alfonso's kernel(running FINE for 24 hours. In the same period with Matr1x kernels i would have at least 2-3 problems- 5.5 cfs excluded).
EDIT:
I just got the first "dead phone" issue with alfonso kernel. I should be more patient about stability results of this kernel, or this issue is not kernel related.
After many days of testing with nscollab and different kernels, i am sure that the major problem of "dead phone" is not kernel related but a cyanogenmod issue.
The most stable kernel i tried was Peter Alfonso, but after 4 days of use the issue appeared.
As i need a really stable rom, before going back to stock, i am testing Oxygen 2.3.1, which i do not know yet if it's stable(i hope) but until now is the fastest and smoothest experience.
Id say if you want stability, stay on stock, extra features like BLN and Voodoo sound are added via kernel anyway.

Kalimocho found a kernel error and a missing vendor file in the CM kernel. It will be fixed in the next nightly. The hope is that this was the cause of the freezes/reboots/bootloops/dimscreen bootloops that people were seeing.

lol i keep looking but i dont find anything
ahhhh
I successfully completed the conversion to dev mode and root my device. I have the multi-system kernel at this time but was wondering which kernel gives the best battery life and which are most people using?
The only 2 kernels I am aware of that are available are the emotion and multi-system ones. Is there something else?
My N4 performs well with this multi-system kernel Courtesy of @hsbadr
I've been using the Eceed Kernel by @kairi_zeroblade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/kernel-xceed-t3344742
there is a verizon version. I had no problems flashing this onto my jasmine rom 4.3 running android 5.1.1.
One user reported loosing data(4g) with this kernel but didnt give any info on what rom or firmware he was running.
the kernel works great so far, much better battery life. Scores 82,000+ consistently on antutu.
The kernel comes pre configured. The only things you can change if you wish is the cpu voltages, cpu currents, and a couple of read ahead tweaks in Synapse
the only thing I noticed was some camera lag (a bit slower to open and to switch from front to rear) that @kairi_zeroblade said could be due to the strict cpu settings. I believe hes working on a 6.0 MM kernel right now that should work for verizon.
Definitely worth a shot to check it out!!!! If you have any feedback just post in the original thread.

This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...nt/firmware-safe-upgrade-to-lollipop-t3313224
I use the screen mirroring option all the time. I would say test that out to determine which kernel is best for you. I know one of the kernels floating around doesn't support screen mirroring which is a big no no for me.

Xceed comes pre tweaked. The only thing that may give a little more speed is changing the internal and SD card read ahead from 512 to 2048mb and cfq as the scheduler. Most other adjustments are untouchable

So looks like the kubyi rom will not work with this kernel. :/ I'm guessing the data fix will have to be patched into the Xceed kernel.
I haven't had the time to read through this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/running-international-roms-n910t-t3220738
Is it only for the n910t varient?
Does anyone have any info on the data fix for the verizon kernel so maybe @kairi_zeroblade can add it to the next build.?

What info do you want to know about the datafix for Kyubi? It has multisystem kernel included. So far that is the only kernel that is compatible with Kyubi. No changes to the kernel were made to make it work with Kyubi. It just happened to work when I tried flashing Kyubi on our phone. So it became part of the datafix since it worked so well. I think if anything, @kairi_zeroblade should talk with @hsbadr the developer of multisystem kernel. We got lucky that hsbadr's kernel worked !

I second the Eceed kernel. Im on the jasmine rom and was using the emotion kernel but I noticed a fast drain on the battery. Switched over to Eceed a few days ago and have experienced a huge improvement on battery life, without the sacrifice in speed. Thanks Joemill for the suggestion.
Read about Exceed kernel so I gave it a try and thats the one Im sticking with. Runs great,using Jasmine Rom with it as well,battery life is great and my phone is very quick,highly recommend it.
I've experimented this issue with the galaxy s5 900F (qualcomm) with the latest MM Resurrection Remix and the latest Boeffla Kernel and also with the latest SuperCrazy Kernel. Whatever i do to speed up the phone (oc, ov, gpu oc, governor) the fps doesn't change and the games still stuttering as hell, even games like Bbtan or Stack, 'til unreal engine based games like "brothers". the phone run flawlessly in any scenario, rock stable and without lag or crash at all, so i really can't figure out what is goin' on. i found someone in the thread which have the same issue, but no one has reply with a solution. does anyone know how to figure out?
Well... I had this problem too with boeffla kernel, i fixed it with the boeffla app and changing the governor to something else. But i wanted to have more battery life so i changed it to ondemandplus and -25 undervolt and everything runs smoothly. Also make sure that you have the latest beta (in my case it is 3.2 beta 2) for best results!

i've already did this, there aren't remarkable changes, but thanks too for the beta's advice, i run the latest stable.
however i don't think it depends by the kernel, more by the cm13 nature of this rom
and yet there's no one who complain about that, except us and someone else
it's frustrating 'cause this is a very rock stable cm13 based rom, except this trouble and the camera app, it's way better than TW based rom
It might just be the RR rom that you run... I run the normal cm13 rom with latest beta boeffla kernel and that governor trick and i have no trouble at all so maybe you could try and switch over to cm13 and hopefully that will fix your problem...
Im on latest rr too. With boeffla kernel. I have a lot of lag in games too.
can someone tell if the rom resurrecton remix is the problm?

I'm not too sure where I heard this. Under battery in settings, open battery optimization. Then select the game and hit "don't optimize".
Some games run smooth for me but others liken Real Racing 3 has horrible fps, but after trying that I saw a huge significant increase in performance. This was after adjusting my CPU. Assuming your firmware is anything like CM13.
well still weird that's a cm13 issue because i'm running latest cm13 (10 october) nightly now and with boeffla kernel with my trick, and i have no lag at all

Been a long time Franco Kernel user so didn't try anything else as generally didn't feel the need. My main needs are satisfied with a kernel that gets additional battery life, Viper4Android and Substratum theming. After that OOS/Nova Launcher was good enough.
OP5 1: Stock H2OS + Franco kernel on my daily driver
OP5 2: Stock H2OS + ElementalX kernel for testing purposes (was my daily driver kernel)
Next to try is direct comparison between OOS and H2OS and the 2nd phone will be used to play around with roms and kernels and compare to my daily driver setup.

In the past when I had the OP3, h2os was way more polished and used to be the base (got updates early) for OOS. However, now both seem to be at the same page and the h2os build is always updated post the OOS build. How has been your experience with h2os?

maybe i will try Bluspark soon. Loved it on my OP3
Just got my OP5 in the mail today, will be unboxing it tonight! I'm planning on either flashing RR with Lightning Kernel, or the unofficial RR since it has lightning built in, as well as a few other mods (like YouTube AdBlock/Background playback)
I used H2OS from the start since I bought both the phones (8GB versions) ridiculously cheap for just 3500 RMB (€450) in China. Removed some of the Chinese apps. But most of them I actually use since I am actually living here. The H2OS versions were not haunted by most of the early issues I read on the international forum.. I didn't have wifi or Bluetooth issues.. also didn't have weird battery drains. So after trying OOS for 2 days I went back to H2OS which I found to be slightly better on the battery.
Right now I use my OP5 1 with H2OS and Franco kernel as my daily driver and the OP5 2 I experiment with with other roms and kernels until I find something that is worth making my daily driver software.

Lightning v7 is great on battery. Just tweak it a little bit for your usage and you may get even better results. Boeffla is also equivalent good for battery. Blu_spark and ElementalX are more biased towards balanced profile.

I don't think I'm allowed to mention the name of the rom I'm using on xda...but yea. That's the one I'm using and it's ok so far, a couple of days. Just clean flashed the latest official....and so far so good on that too
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.

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 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
