Hi all,
New to Android so apologies if this is a stupid question, but what kernel control app do you use?. I'm looking for a universal one to use with all kernels I may flash.
I love flashing and trying new kernels, but each one has their own paid app. I can't really justify paying for each one unless I know I will be using that same kernel for a long period of time.
Running AOKP, I can already change some of the settings but I'm wondering if the other settings that you get in kernel control apps (like Franco's updater) really make a material difference?
Cheers
In my opinion GLaDOS takes care of most of the kernel functions. I've been using it with GLaDOS, CMPlus, air kernel and Trinity.

Control everything of the kernel, or just OC/UV?

Oh interesting. Here I thought those kernel specific apps would only work for the particular kernel. I don't really have a problem buying a kernel control app from the cool people who have been making these kernels, but I despise the idea of having to buy an app per kernel lol

If you want to buy only one app as something like supporting the dev., I would recommend GLaDos' app.
Literally EVERY kernels around import thing from his work.
He is not a nice guy to chat with, but he indeed make some great works... And personally, I think Franco release a easy-to-use app is the main reason why his kernel is so popular... nothing really impressive in his kernel in fact , it's never easy asking everyone can play with some shell command and init.d script.
Now Glados app is great and full of feature too, including bootloader lock toggle tweak..
NSTools is a general kernel control app that's free.

Ya but it doesn't have many of the options that we now have on the gnex.
It doesn't have colour settings.
All it has is overclock, undervolt and scheduler change.
The official kernel apps have a lot more to offer.
And anyway 2-3 euro is piss all, it's less than a beer!
Franco,glados an trinity app I have all 3.

Tweaks feature is nice too. The OP said they are new to Android so I thought it would be a good starter app. Could cause some damage with some of the major apps I'd say with so many options!

Good point, less options = less things to break!
Well for free.99 nstools is a bargain!
I've currently got the Franco App. It is pretty awesome, I was just scared to use it with other kernels. I may actually give the Glados Kernel and app a try later this week
I've bought all three. They're not expensive and I like it better than "donating" since I've had poor luck with devs and donating. Hell, lost a device that way....
GLaDOS works with all three that I use, but to be honest the anal retentive part of me installs the matching app when I switch kernels.

no, I can't honestly, because as I said, NOTHING really original and meaningful thing by him I know of, maybe you can fill me in.
Color tweak, ezekeel
crc and so on, ezekeel
custom voltage, ezekeel
BLX, ezekeel
tun,cfs, slub, ntfs, overclock, you won't think that is original, right? every kernel has them.
And, in fact, something "special" of his kernel:
1. generic hotplug.....
overblown trash, and himself realize it, it's removed now
2. custom sdcard binary
a lot of compatible issue, a lot.
3. custom ramdisk
I don't know how much performance it brings in, but his 2&3 leave some potential issue to other kernel. And nobody was warning before or after they flash the kernel
And FYI, many people think Nexus need color tweak, and Franco's OP color tweak has a misspell, about 18000+ reply before I tell him, nobody found it because most of them just using the Franco Updater, for it give them a much easy way to tweak the screen color, and that is why he kernel became popular.
I know it's cruel, but all of them are fact.

His kernel became so popular because it was the first extremely useable and functional kernel we had. And he's a nice guy.

Its marvelous. I have flashed many, many roms on my LTE Gnex and this one is BY FAR the smoothest and fastest available. Everything is so quick and snappy. In my opinion it rivals the CM9 nightly in terms of speed.
The newest version, updated yesterday, tries to completely integrate 4.0.4 with the most recent AOKP. Some things don't work, like market restore, but it's definitely worth taking a look.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, this rom uses franco's kernel.
Okay...

Which makes it a hackjob at best. There is no 4.0.4 source, so I am thinking he probably used dex2jar and tried adding features from it. That will not make a rom faster by the way
Never underestimate the power of placebo. If it feels faster, its due to the kernel. Everyone always says it is not a placebo, but the Beats port is a perfect example. Measured responses show zero change, yet people swear by it according to their feelings.
I am not saying not to try it, I am saying if you think its faster, its the kernel or placebo.

Then why have other developers started using Axi0ms "Th3ory Go Faster Script (Speed, Fluidity, Battery Life, RAM Management)"
Surely rom developers know a placebo from the real deal.
We aren't using it so...'other developers' is pretty subjective.
Do you really believe that one single guy knows the secrets to making Android go fast and Google does not?
Thats the problem with placebos. The more people believe in them, the more conviction everyone has that it is real.
Look how far nuking batterystats went in terms of placebo. We heard about it for years, everyone believed it worked, and most took it as gospel until recently.
How many devs start their posts with deodexed and zipaligned for performance? Neither affect performance.
How about those that have a zipalign script every boot? Zipalign only works once.
How about the build.prop tweak of maxevents = 240 for window manager? Do you really think that setting it to 240 increases the framerate by even 1 frame per second?
Many, many placebos out there.

Have you even TRIED the rom? I would bet you have not. Why are you arguing semantics with me? You will not get me to change my mind. THIS ROM IS FASTER THAN AOKP B27.
Also, the battery life is great. Far better than stock AOKP B27. I get 10% less battery drain overnight than I did with just AOKP B27.
This is a good rom, it is faster than AOKP B27, comes with a great kernel, etc. What's your deal?
LOL...
Blind as can be. You are so tied up in your own little world, that you didn't hear a word I said. I am sure the rom is nice, but show some measurable numbers before saying its faster than...anything.
I have been around the block a few times to know when a placebo is in effect. I have even run some blind tests with kernels. I literally had a test group say they felt a larger performance difference from kernel A to kernel B. Like 30% said kernel A was better.
They were both the same exact kernel, no changes between them, both compiled within minutes of each other. Imagine their surprise when I gave them the results and explained both kernels were identical.
I am not asking you or telling you to change anything, but unless you can provide measurable results, your opinion is just that. If you like the rom, I am happy for you. Enjoy it.

Loving my GNex, however I've only had it a couple weeks.
There are several kernels out there, and from comparing all of them and reading all the threads as much as I can, they all seem to have relatively similar features... I'm having a hard time picking one.
Is there someone who can clarify the differentiating features of each kernel? Are certain kernels better suited for different ROMs? Do certain ones have compatibility or other persistent issues?
Mainly:
faux123
franco
GlaDOS
jamesbond
Trinity
I've tried faux123 015m (loved faux's kernels on the Sensation, but I had some mobile data issues with it on the GN) and Trinity (latest seems fast/stable, except the color profile was messing with me). I'm trying GlaDOS now. Again, though, I'm not sure what advantages or perks one kernel flavor gives me over the next. Can anyone shed some light?

I have tried them all myself at one time or another and i always come back to GLaDOS. I chose to run this because of the unique and innovative features Ezekeel has developed plus the great battery life. BLX, Vibration control, Touch Wake and of course the Wheatley Governor which was developed for this kernel to give the best performance and battery life, which in fact it does. The GLaDOS control app is great too and Ezekeel is always updating and making it better.
GLaDOS is exclusive to Rootzwiki that why you don't see too much mention of it here unfortunately ... I'm not even sure if Ezekeel lurks around here anymore?

Thanks for your responses!
However it looks like people are just posting what they use. What I'm looking for is information on what differentiates each kernel.. what is each kernel's "claim to fame"? From what I've seen, all of the kernels' features look pretty similar.
For example, "X kernel balance performance and battery really well. Y kernel reduces the voltage to the screen to further battery savings. Z kernel is more focused on performance. A kernel allows your phone to make popcorn." etc.
Or are they basically the same?
Thanks blowtorch for giving some information as to what differentiates GlaDOS from the rest

Jamesbond will likely give you best battery life and stability. He has a couple of other kernels with some performance boost. Glados was buggy as hell and some other things but that is for you to decide. Other kernels for me were kind of meh. I honestly dont understand how so many people say this kernel or that kernel is the best or best on battery life when so many tweaks in X kernel add more performance at the cost of mah. I liked glados and its features a lot but it came at a cost too high. Touchwake is a really nice feature in it and i am surprised more people don't ask for it. Another kernel i liked was bamf paradigm but i am not using it. I would like to try that rom again in the future but it wasnt ready for me personally. Havent tried franco's at all. Just seems to be feature packed kernel but for what?

I like francos so far works great with my favorite rom AOKP, buttery smooth, stable as hell, you can go battery saver or performance since you can OC/UV, etc, if you buy the App in play store it works great cuz he updates the kernel oftem and you can use either milestone versions or nihgtlies, and has the option for autodownload and autoflash the lastests updates.
You can change screen color values, as i said oc/uv, change the boot animation, and plenty other stuff..
Thats my 2 cents on your research
Edit: forgot to tell you, he also has a support mail , and if you have any issue kernel related he will answer with a solution if possible.. Report bugs etc

I've been using GlaDOS for the last couple days and haven't had any of these issues. Bluetooth is working perfectly, even over my car's hands-free setup which has been problematic with some kernels, and audio is working perfectly... maybe you were on an older build?
Anyone have any other info? I'm surprised nobody has said anything about faux or Trinity..
Well I guess I'll be the first to represent faux kernel over here. Like that its not over done and no special app is needed to control it and the gamma control from panda board he forward ported is pretty slick if you ask me

Trinity is legendary ... never got around to faux
I'm sticking with CM9 Kernel for now it's as good as the rest IMO plus they are integrating more and more into it ... missing touch wake though from GLaDOS, oh well
I'm mainly looking for battery life now. I don't really notice much difference between most of these kernels in terms of battery life. All of these kernels have good performance without overclocking.
I find that i bounce around from kernel to kernel and in the end when all is said and done no kernel is better than the other and it really comes down to preference.
Was a previous Fascinate user (as a PMP-only), till I inadvertently knocked it into my bed-side trash bin and took said trash out I loved the modified ICS-based AOKP that Icy Glitch did, but more specifically their kernel that was included! When I got the Epic 4G (non-touch, don't worry lol) I started looking around and Nyan Colonel looked like my cup 'o tea with all the tweaking options Marcusant included; however, not only could I not find a working link to it anywhere but the last version wasn't even available for JB Right now I'm running Nitest (Effsi's), and that actually appears to be the only stand-alone packaged Kernel available for the D700 as well. I'd honestly give compiling one a try except I'm stuck with WWAN home internet and a 5GB limit per month that 2 others use on occasion. :crying: As such I rely on the smarts and abilities of you fine XDA'ers :highfive:
At any rate, as I've no experience with Linux I do not know how complicated these requests are, so please excuse my ignorance lol. But to me it seems like certain features (commits?) are fairly modular in nature and appear as though they are almost "a la carte". If it's harder than it sounds, by all means let me know and I'll be content with what is available.
If anyone does take up my suggestion, which not to try and dictate anything, but the one thing that is a must-have for me is Voodoo Sound. I use this Epic as a media player and not a phone, which without Voodoo Sound the audio quality (specifically with earphones) is overly-bright and defeats the sole purpose I have it for
That being said, while porting Icy Glitch (Git Hub, XDA Thread) to the Epic 4G would be awesome, I do realize that is likely going to require the most work and so I don't really expect it to happen. However, what I'm primarily interested in is the ability to LiveOC, as on the Fascinate I found that even running at 101(%, MHz?) offered a significant boost to performance, in particular I/O's. While I may not always use the max achievable overclock, I did always keep it at 101 for at least the benefits it provided, but it's always nice to have more performance available literally at your finger tips!
Nyan Colonel v5 (Git Hub, XDA Thread) had it all though, and was even for the Epic 4G! I don't know if he took it down because he moved on to the Nexus, or what Though, I suspect the fact he moved on is why he didn't reply to my PM a few weeks ago, which is understandable and I'm sure he gets asked a lot :\
As for "Custom?"... If someone has their own kernel, or have one they are working on, this would be my "wish list" of stuff to have:
LiveOC [His XDA Thread for the LiveOC Git location links to HERE (108MB), but he also has a repo for "Nexus S ICS" which if new=better then that is HERE (118MB).]
- If not part of LiveOC: Frequency multipliers up to 1600MHz for CPU w/o modifying base frequency,
individual GPU clock control (possible?), individual RAM clock control (possible?)
Voodoo Sound [For D700]
- Preferably offer a version with and without Voodoo Color, as some users need/like it, yet for me I get
unfixable color issues
Governors & Schedulers [Nitest, at least Effsi's ver, has a bunch to pick from. Can you have too many?]
- Scary gov seems to do a good job of keeping CPU freq low (100MHz vs 200MHz) and scaling up
quickly, giving me no instability problems at 1200MHz. 'fifo' sched has been working well for me, but
I was not able to notice any performance differences between any of the choices through Quadrant benchmark
USB Hub [Looking to try out connecting my Xonar U3 USB sound card for shiz-n-giggles, but USB flash storage would be a benefit!]
Latest Linaro & Linux Kernel [Doesn't have to be newest, but fairly recent would be nice heh]
- Compiled with "O3" optimization flag, as it does seem to help some.
BigMem [As having a camera is quite handy! (Not sure if it pertains to vid playback as well)]
I'm sure there is more but let's be real, I'm probably pushing my luck the way it is! lol Though if lots of people showed interest and provided more tweaks/features they'd like, I kinda think it'd be cool to have an Epic 4G "XDA Community Kernel"

Thanks man :highfive: I do, too (obviously lol)
Also, thanks to whomever moved it to the right forum for me, wasn't quite sure where it belonged.
Hi,
Just got a used Epic 4g today and have a question for you seasoned vets.
I've decided to run CM 10.1.3 stable since it seems like a fairly solid, well supported ROM. Can any of you recommend a custom kernel to go along with it? I'd like to be able to play around with overclocking, undervolting, or even some more governors,
Thanks.
Honestly, I've had nothing but good experience using the kernel that ships with CM 10.1 (on two Epics used by two different people). I never felt like I needed to find a different one. What are you hoping to gain from a new kernel? Just curious...

With the stock kernel, I don't see any voltage adjustment options nor any overclocking options. I'd like to have those.

Fair enough. Yeah, stock CM 10.1 only allows you to adjust the clock speed *down* (from what I can see in the performance menu). I'm afraid I'm no help with the custom kernel scene, so best of luck to you. I'll let someone else comment on that if they feel so inclined.

Nitest/Nutest probably have those (look around in the dev forum). Do note that Epic 4G is an old device with decreasing support, so Nitest/Nutest is pretty much the only custom kernel for AOSP ROMs.

Thanks for your response. This device is old, but it has far better community support than my Droid Pro ever did.
Thoughts?

My thought would be that you should move this thread to Q/A thread.
This thread is for development
No idea about the kernel as I don't use oos4
Blu_spark or ElementalX

Kernels are development - this is where users come to get them, and seeing 5-6 different ones doesn't offer a comprehensive comparison, so this thread would serve as that. You read this, and then pick the kernel - all in one place.. But if mods think it should be moved please move it i don't know how
No such thing as a best kernel since everyone uses their devices differently and has different apps installed. Definitely not the place for this forum.

Try all of them, there is no such best. I can say there is a minor difference between Franco, Bluspark, Ex kernel etc. They all cherrypick(not sure it this is the right word) each other and make slight modifications and that makes kernels unique, I had a good experience with Xceed, Render and Franco.
EX Kernel For sure
There is no answer to your question. Best kernel for me may be the worst one for you
Personally, I think this isn't even a legit question as there many variables, such as personal likes and dislikes and desired goals. Some people would rather have a kernel for speed, while others may want increased battery life and yet others may want a little of both. I guess the answer is whichever one you like best.
Useless thread...
There is no best kernel.
You chose a kernel which fits best to your needs.
This is just like asking "whats the best color?"
This thread likely needs to be moved to Q&A.
That being said, I myself would really appreciate some input on pros and cons of well known kernels kind elemental X and Franco vs the stock OOS kernel, since performance isn't something that needs improving IMO on this device. What and how other benefit is there?
Like I said it is all subjective, but if you take the time to read, the information is listed by the OP
You could give the moxie kernel by bedalus a try. He implemented a nice feature where you can set a threshold to make your battery charge to a certain percentage. This is because, if you always charge your phone to 100% the battery degrades quicker.

Lol I liked this "what's the best color?"
I think you people should try Ex . Been using Ex for a while and it seems quite stable.
People say Blusparks is good but for me it was never , maybe its just me.
My sig normally is always updated with a setup working fine on a semi business phone. franco.Kernel is rock solid and the BEST SOT!
