[Q] Kernel Question - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hello fellas,
i am very new to the rooting world. i just flashed the cm7- Darkside hybrid and everything went smooth. But it came with the Synergy Kernel. I do not like the Synergy kernel. i was wondering if i could put the darkside kernel in there even though its part cm7? Anything helps!

Yea just flash any kernel you want to use. Im using the Juggernaut 5.0 Rom and using the darkside rc2 kernel! Great combo!

NO.. You must flash a kernel made for the CM7 rom, which actually I think Synergy is the only one, so you're stuck with that.
Unless Darkside made one too.
If you change roms that's not a CM7 than yes, you can try any kernel out there.

What he said.
There is another cm7 kernel in the skyrocket area made by da_g or d_ag can't remember which spelling. But yeah, try that one out, have heard good things. It will mess up your auto-rotation though...

I've tried a few; faux123's is my personal favorite.

CM7 kernels waste of time - wait for a real CM7 release for anything worthwhile. If you really want CM, get rid of the T989 and go for the international version.

unlike others', ziggy's kernels are universal i.e. they work on both sense and aosp roms - i have been running them on all my roms except cm7. ziggy has not yet made a gb kernel.

If I flash one of his kernels, do I need to wipe/reformat my SD card? I'm running MIUI, so I'm curious what I need to do and if there's any special instructions to follow. Currently, I'm running Tiamat's 2.1.5.

Can if you want, but if all you're going to do is set a screen off profile there's no need. His kernels are amazing for overclocking though.

Not only are they awesome for OCing but running a mild OC (1 notch above standard), with the min set to 128 I'm getting better battery life then the ever popular Lou's #8. YMMV
I'll try out the new ones here soon, I"m running the one form 1/22 I think.
Ziggys kernels never worked well on my DINC, but these latest ones are SWEET. Noticeably snappier than Lous #8.

Hey Man Glad You Made It To GSII Maybe You Should Continue The CM Roms There Kind Of Abandoned.

Alienz is one of the best coming from the vibrant era...
has anyone tried this on rooted stock rom?
let me know please.
thanks in advance.
This will NOT work on stock-based roms. If you'd like, I can post one for them later today. No guarantee it will work though. I don't run stock.
And I don't know what you are talking about. I've been running CM7 since late December. I have no bugs, it is butter-smooth, everything works, and best of all...being CM7, it is themable anyway you wish. For example, CM7 with the Lucid theme found here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sonny.theme.lucid&hl=en
is beautiful. Add some ICS themed widgets, and it looks like you are running something even prettier than ICS.
No problems with battery life either. Been getting 18 hours according to Battery Left with a 1.8Ghz OC. You keep saying CM7 is an Alpha but quite honestly, there aren't any bugs on it (provided you keep the GPS on).
I assume this works for 787 as well

No. I don't use Mr. X's CM7 kernel because it is really really choppy (scrolling especially). I use Da_G's Skyrocket CM7 kernel. Imo its is a night and day difference. Everything works except auto-rotation.

Love the idea but not a big fan of CM7. Any chance you can make this compatible with Juggernaut or Macnut?
You want ics transitions. Go to uot kitchen. Upload what it asks. Go to the mod that says ics transitions and apply. Submit changes to the kitchen and wait until its cooked. Irll give you a flasha le zip if there were no.errors. Nandroid backup and flash. Walla!!!! Ics transitions. Ive done this before and seriously takes a max of an hour dependong on how many requests the kotchen is taking. Ive learbed to be resourceful and figure things out on my own. Also it doesnt hurt to check out the Android apps section in General. There are some good guides there for building base roms, theming and kitchen, building ziPS, extracting stuff. All those mods you guys ask the devs to incorporate are there and most are noob friendly.

Can you recommend some roms/kernels?

I just ordered this phone, should be getting it sometime next week. BTW Im coming from the MyTouch 4g slide. If you recommend any roms or kernels please post the link. Thanks.
Sent from my Bulletproof_Doubleshot using Tapatalk 2
I recommend AOKP or CM9. Both are AOSP based with AOKP being closer to pure Android 4.0. That said, it helps to just try out what is available and see what works for you.

Is stock ROM official ICS update or GB?
I got this phone 2 months and bounced around between Darkside, stock ICS rooted, and AOKP. I've flashed Eugene's streamlined kernel to AOKP. And I think that's where I'm staying. I love the ui changes and inbuilt cpu control. And with Groove IP I can do without native wifi calling. My advice is to try them each for a few days, even ones I didn't mention like cm9, and decide what fits your needs.

yup darkside is definitely the way to go. awesome battery life and really stable.

That's because 0623-03 IS Build 39, assuming you are referring to Whitehawkx's AOKP. Hercules is officially supported by Team Kang now, so you can get Build 40 from here:

Kernel overclocking
I'm using Darkside TLLE4.V1 and the 3.0.8-perf-T989DTTLE4-CL579656 kernel. Way good. One question though: I come the cpu is not overclockable over 1.5 ? I thought this kernel was open to overclocking, I would like to boost it up to 1.8. Any ideas?
stay away from the Resurrection remix rom flashed it yesterday and it installed but when i rebooted my phone never came back on and it still wont do anything

i was using the darkside evolution 3 v7 and it works perfectly u can only overclock to 1712 i think

it looks like there are a bunch of darkside roms/kernels. which one are you using?
This may have been addressed before but for some reason I can not find an answer. I have tried AOKP and CM9 and I am having problems with the external SD card not being recognized by several apps (beyondpod is the main one). There is a setting for using the external only but then most of my games (EA titles) will not open. Is there anything that can be done? I am currently using Chicago rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602332 and it seems to work correctly but I would like to start using the CM9 nightly builds. Thanks in advance.

ICS Rom Decision

I know everyone in this community hates questions like this, so I apologize. I'm currently on Blazer's ICS rom and loving it, but was just wanting everyone else's input on what they like. I'm not asking which is the best, that isn't a thread like that, I just want to know what you guys are running.
I like Touchwiz based ROM's opposed to the AOSP style (Dunno why, I just appreciate the Samsung nonsense). I tried Blu Kuban but was having issues with it being sluggish, and I know it's not the ROM's fault, it was most likely the way I had the CPU settings tweaked, but I couldn't seem to get them right. I was also am not a huge fan of overly theme'd ROM's. I like the ICS blue in the status bar and things like that, but when EVERY app is theme'd, it gets old.
Anyways, what are you guys running? If you could post your Kernel as well, that would be much appreciated. :silly:

Does it run pretty smooth with that kernel? I'll try flashing that kernel on Blazer again tonight and see if I can configure it decently. I am on Agat's right now, and it's doing well. I need to do more research as to what all of the Governors do. There are a ton on that kernel, and a lot of them I have never heard of.

Aokp, cm9, aosp ics. Or cm10 or aosp jb. I prefer the stock android look without mfg skinned UIs. I'm on aokp m6 ics right now, have been on one version or another since TCP started porting it in march. I use blu kuban to flash to to do prl and profile updates every so often but never stay on twiz roms more than 10 mins. On m6 I use the stock kernel times included, but have tried some of chris41gs kernels, however they broke a few things cuz i flashed them over an already set up rom instead of flashing them after a clean install, and the m6 I'm on has the internal and external SD locations switched around which confused the kernel and broke my SD storage so i went back to the stock kernel on this build til i decide to switch to another rom and do a clean install and start over from scratch

Recommended Kernel for cm9.2 nightly 09/09/2012

hi all.
i was hoping to see if anyone has a prefered kernel for cm9. i had my fun with jb but its not as stable as ics so i'm taking a step backwards.
9.2 runs silky smooth, i'm just curious to know if any kernels out there improve it even more. perhaps one with voodoo access?
thanks shall be given for any guide lines. gradddsi!
The best kernel to use is the one that came with the ROM. TDJ's are out of date. Don't know of any others.
