anyone know where i can find an active link to aero's v8 kernel?
What rom are you on? gb or ics?
cm7.2 RC3
I would use his newer ICS kernels. Im using v10.5 on CM7RC2 at the moment and the multitouch issues have been fixed from what I can tell.
Go to his CM9 thread and get it from there.
OK I HAVE that one, how's battery life with that kernel
Its two days with moderate to light use, but i'm on CM9. I'm sure it will be similar.

What is the best kernel for the ASOP GB roms? I am looking to get the best battery life. Also links please.
I obviously prefer Tiamat but there are others too. try to find some undervolting, make sure the kernel has HAVS and viperboy has some scripts that will undervolt even more if you can maintain stability to keep your battery life going. choose the "smartass governor" with an app called setcpu
my favorite is incredikernel and try undervolting like morph3k said

Tiamat 4.0 is broken for camera. I liked Savaged-zen before the release of android 2.3.4
Tiamat 4.0.1 is released and the camera is working.
i have been using Tiamat 3.3.8 on Cm7 stable runs smooth and gives me great battery life

I couldn't post a direct download because my post count is low ( I do more reading than posting ) just go to downloads at the bottom of the page choose Tiamat Inc and scroll down to the kernel you want I would stick with the last 3 series because there are still complaints about the 4.0 kernel
The one that has been coming with new CM nightly's has been working great. I used to use Chad's latest incredikernel 2.6.37.6 (Sorry can't post link still a young Jedi). But CM's kernel has been smooth for me on nightly 68 and 69.
Hi all,
I have been really upset with the choppy scrolling performance on our phone. It is a bug Supercurio found immediately upon using our phone and one sadly no dev has fully fixed yet.
Well, good news. I've been testing a ton of different ROMs and kernels and I have found that the Skyrocket kernels are PERFECTLY smooth in scrolling. Why? I do not know.
I tested Da_G's CM7 kernel with my T-mobile SGS2 and it worked. Now, not only did it work but it works perfectly. Everything works including data (4G), calls, etc. There is only 1 bug and that is because it is a Skyrocket kernel---Automatic orientation (if you turn it on) is exactly 90 degrees off. Easy fix though I think.
Other tested ROMS and Kernels:
Kernels:
Bullet (all versions)---very choppy but amazing on battery
Synergy (all versions)---very choppy but also really good on battery
Faux123's kernels---Newest version of Faux's kernel incorporates Skyrocket drivers and FIXES the 2D choppiness. Currently it is the only T989 kernel to be fully smooth
Mr.X CM7's kernel---choppy but amazing battery and 2D Quadrant scores (I got 760s with it)
Da_G's Skyrocket CM7 kernel---BUTTER smooth, everything except Auto-rotation works despite being a Skyrocket kernel
ROMS:
Stock 2.3.5---VERY choppy
Stock 2.3.6---Slightly less choppy but still pretty choppy
Juggernaut 4.0, 3.7, 3.5---ALL pretty choppy, 4.0 is likely the best since its based on 2.3.6
Beastmod 4.0, 4.2---ALL pretty choppy
Domination 2.0---EXTREMELY choppy...I don't know why even since it's 2.3.6 but my testing proved it was one of the worst in scrolling choppiness
CM7 by slayher (for T-Mo SGS2)--Butter at times and choppy at others.
CM7 for Skyrocket (Alpha 4)---Choppy if T989 kernel is used, BUTTER if Skyrocket kernel (Da_G's kernel) is used.
I believe ROMS have little effect on the choppiness. They do contribute a tiny amount but I do believe the kernels are what dictate whether scrolling is smooth or not.
Moral of the story, T-mo SGS2 Kernel devs, please either build from the source for Skyrocket or see what that kernel has that is different from ours because it is MUCH MUCH SMOOTHER than any of our kernels.
Cause us skyrockets users are raw haha but ill try and see how to fix your guys rotation problem. Busy trying to build a new cm7 miui and AOSP with members for the skyrocket

If you could port Da_G's kernel by incorporating a 90-degree Auto-rotation fix, it would be bomb. Everything else works and it is sooo smooth.
Would you mind linking to the exact kernel you used? I never use auto-rotate & I'm dying to get rid of this choppiness.
Certainly. Make sure you are running CM7 though.

Use the AT&T CM7 v4 version. Get into Clockwork, flash, and reboot. It doesn't have a boot logo, don't be alarmed.
I certainly am Which version did you use though, AT&T or Rogers?
AT&T like I said in my post above.
Ah... derp, I'm special. Thanks.

Hello fellow Colorado-an!
Just to clarify- the moral of your post is: using the Skyrocket's CM7 ROM & Da_G's Skyrocket kernel on the T989 you have 0 choppiness?
I'm just unsure of which ROM you're using (ours or Skyrocket's)
Thanks.
Correct. Use the Skyrocket CM7 or ours (doesn't matter but ours has more bugs. The Skyrocket CM7 with that kernel has NO bugs if you keep the GPS on).

Yep, true, somehow, GPS on our kernel keeps audio working and no bugs, dunno how, but don't ask me.
Also, the orientation thing is because our accelerometer is flipped upside down, that's why it flipped differently for you.
I'll ask Da_G if he can revert the fix he did in the kernel, then upload a version for you guys, since our kernels seem to work better for you.
Also, if someone doesn't mind, flash a T-Mo ROM, then a Skyrocket kernel (don't worry, I've flashed T-Mo SGS II kernels before, only thing that breaks is the rotation), and see if that fixes any 2D lag you have.
Wait- we can flash the skyrocket version of cm7? Like without modifying it of anything?
Hmm glad this ROM & kernel combo is working for you!
I myself have used several of the roms and kernels you mentioned also and have found that the stock rooted Telus T989D ROM by Mr X + the synergy kernel are not only the fastest imo, but I get 0 choppiness and almost 2 days of battery life on normal to heavy usage.

Ok sorry for my noobishness, I had no idea..don't really use cm7. I just flashed dagkernal .42 on gingersnap 0.3. Its amazingly smooth but I had to turn off auto rotation because its working backwards. Which is a kernel with good battery life and is smooth on skyrocket?

I think all the Skyrocket kernels are going to result in rotation issues. I flashed a Skyrocket rom and one of our kernels and it works fine.
I called in sick for work today this shows up.. should have a fun day lol

Just tried the dag 4.2 rogers kernel with juggernaut 4.1 and I can really notice a difference.. not that benchmark's matter, but I'm got 7154 on AnTuTu on the first try clocked at 1.78 and getting 4600+ on quadrant at the same clock lol
Let's see how the battery is on this tho. Jug 3.7 + bullet 2.9 was giving me amazinggg battery life but last night i went to sleep with it being 45% and woke up with 5% lol maybe the governor changed to performance or something idk
EDIT - After around 20 mins of use, I can confidently say that my phone is now BUUTTTEEERYYYY smooth I used to get lag/stutter during screen transitions and everything, now I'm using the Sphere effect on Go Launcher (one of the ones that usually cause the most stutter) and it couldn't be any more buttery smooth lol
Thanks for finding this The only issue is the auto-rotation but once that's fixed, this will be amazing lol
I'm currently running CM7.2 and I was a bit confused by the Incredikernel thread here:
[KERNEL] Incredikernel (Chad+Tiny) - 03/21/2012 - GB+ICS (non-HWA)
It says that the GB+ICS kernels don't have HWA. Does that mean that the older GB-only kernels do have hardware acceleration? In that case would it be better to stick with the Incredikernel from 11/27/2011?
Hardware Acceleration only applies to ICS, none of the Incredikernels have HWA. That is mentioned because HWA is an important feature of ICS for things like Google Chrome beta. Your experience with Incredikernel will not be impacted on GB, the same cannot be said if you were using an ICS rom.
I bought a SGH-T989-D (telus version) and it came rooted with cyanogenmod installed. It was so fast and beautiful but it had many major bugs that made it unusable (call echo, battery life, caller id broken, random restarts). It's been about 4 months so I wanted to see what the most stable roms are.
I'm looking for a rom that is fast and close to stock ICS or maybe jellybean if that's out yet. I'm currently on touchwiz ics but it's not as smooth or snappy as the buggy rom the phone came with was.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is noobish.
This one is stable

Its the stable version of CM 9
And my personal favorite AOKP 7/15 milestone 6

Only issue I have is speaker phone sounds choppy.
As for JB, there is good progress, but not a DD in my IMHO.

The one by BinaryBiship is pretty good. And there's nightly builds so at least you know they're actively updating.

this question gets asked quite a bit and my opinion on the matter(since you asked) is bugs don't seem to pop up for everyone. If the phone you had had issues maybe it was just that version of CM. If you like CM then I would suggest trying a nightly, RC2 or AOKP.
There are different developers that have kanged CM as well so try that. Since what is a bug for one person is not necessarily a bug for others its a trial and error. Anyone can post a link and say this or that is the best but only your real world experience can determine if its your dd= daily driver or not....
I have been running CM9 or AOKP since I got my phone and no issues at all...No radio issues No GPS issue No hot reboot issues... so far nada... Give them all a try thats my opinion
As said earlier, CM9 and AOKP are both great. My only issue with them is that they don't have wifi calling so be wary of that if you need that feature.
Just update to the latest cm9 nightly at get.cm for the Hercules. If you are already on cm9 then make a back up and then wipe system, cache, and dalvik. Then flash cm9 and gapps.

Love the latest by Darkside. Its not pure stock but the latest is speedy, GREAT battery, and solid enough to be my DD ROM ..
Stats in sig. Good luck!
CM9 has come a LONG way these past months and virtually every bug you posted has been fixed. CM9 RC2 has been running beautifully for me for nearly a week and a half now. I recently took the plunge with TDJ's latest Venom kernel and it's been running even smoother. AOSP ROMs may have been buggy in the past but now there really isn't any reason to go back to TW. Unless of course you need wifi calling... but our devs are currently working on that and there are alternatives that allow you to call from wifi (Talkatone, Vonage, GrooveIP). So really, in my opinion, there really is no reason to go back to carrier bloat.
You could always use odin to flash a stock ICS, then root and remove bloat. You'd have a completely stock ICS running stable. As long as you're rooted, you can always flash modifications down the road. If you want a little extra performance but want to still maintain stock as much as possible, you can just flash a modified kernel on top.

I've seen a few JellyBean Roms for the Xperia Play (xda and YouTube), but have yet to test any of them out. Just wondering if anyone out there is sold on one particular JB Rom, if so, which one? Gingerbread based Roms are oldies but goodies since they tend to offer the best stability plus can be themed to look like ICS or JB but since there is no Xperia Play 2 in sight, I'd like to at least run a current firmware. I've read of lagging, force closes, and touchpad issues, which make me hesitant to make the jump but hope someone has found that JB gem that I'm looking for. Basically, the Rom should be as stable as can be (preferably still being updated), best battery performance, all the basics (camera, true multitasking, wifi, bluetooth, etc) are all functioning properly, and as for gaming, working touchpads (I do overclock which helps performance wise). Also, state the Kernel you use/prefer with the JB Rom, and why. Anyways, I'd prefer JB over ICS at this point and GB over ICS as well so it is what it is. Hope to see some suggestions, advantages/disadvantages, and helpful info regarding JB Roms for Xperia Play. Thanks for your time y'all!
Currently running Aurora Play v0.8 (GB 2.3.7) Rom, LuPuS GB v6 720 Kernel
Previouly ran with NXT Light Edition (GB 2.3.7) Rom, DooMKernel v14
The two kernels for jelly bean are lupus jb v8 or turbo kernel. They are both great. The best jelly bean roms are pac man and aokp that was modified by someone. Slimbean was also good but lots of people had problems with it though I never did. So far slimbean offers the best ram but pac is the most stable so you should go with that. Really the best thing you can do is try them and see which one suits you best

there is no fully touchpad support jb rom
for fully touchpad support roms you should use ics roms (in ics roms touchpad doesnt work 100% in aosp ones) or gb roms
