Running DS kernel on stock as well. Sweet performance indeed.

Both of those kernels are not playing well with stock rooted telus roms quite yet so be careful and make sure you have a backup

Great news indeed! I am a complete noob when it comes to flashing kernels, or anything for that matter. I have successfully flashed this kernel on the Tmobilestock ROM. Now things do seem to be a alot smoother, not sure if it is a placebo, but what are some things that I should do to ensure I take advantage of the new kernel?
What system settings should I be aware of, or make changes to ensure maximum performance?
Is this ROM overclocked to 1.75ghz by default? Right now benchmarks are telling me its clocked at 1.566ghz.
Any tips or tricks are appreciated, thanks! :victory::laugh::victory:

Thanks for the suggestion on CPU Tuner, I will give that app a swirl.
One really weird thing that I have noticed since flashing the kernel on Tmobile stock, is that calls are not working. I cannot hear anything, trying to toggle the speaker results in severe lag that hangs for a few seconds to a minute. Any ideas? I would post directly in the development thread, but I have not met the post count to do so. If someone can move this there, then by all means.
Thanks for any help.

Hey DJ. I flashed Darkside Venom 3.0.8 on the stock rooted Tmobile ROM. Here's a kicker, phone calls work flawlessly when I switch to WIFI calling...not sure if that helps with troubleshooting.

When you upgraded to ics did you do a full wipe? And did you wipe partition and dalvik cache before you installed the kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I did a factory reset and data wipe after having successfully upgraded to ICS. When I flashed to the Dark Side Venom kernel earlier, I wiped Dalvik cache but not the partition.

Streamline #6 on AOKP .40. Nice and smooth thus far.

Where did you hear that? The only thing I've heard is the issue with Tellus and the Smartass v2.
Been running with it since this morning and it's been really good. No reboots/boot loops and battery has been solid.

I do have a backup created using ROM manager. I may give the re-flashing route a try. It seems like another member jbreeze228 in the development thread that is experiencing the exact issue, but it doesn't look his post have been addressed yet. So I'll stay tuned with that.

Looks like there is a Super Wipe, and a Cache Wipe. Which of the two should I use?
1. Place on ROOT of your SD card.
2. Boot into Recovery Mode
3. Do a NAND BACKUP!!!
4. Flash DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE
5. Stay inside recovery
6. Flash desired ROM.
7. After flashing is complete, Reboot...
8. Done!
So lemme see if I understand the instructions correctly. I should restore to my original backup. Boot into recovery and flash the wipe file. Then while still in recovery, I should flash the kernel? Am I understanding the steps correctly?

Flashing new kernel?

Do I need to flash back to stock kernel (evo 4g) before flashing a new one?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
No. Just make a backup, wipe your cache and dalvik, then flash kernel from recovery. Give it like 2-3 before you pass judgement on it.

Exactly. Just like he said too, it might take a few minutes after you wipe what's listed above to boot up. If after 5 to 10 minutes its still not working then flash another kernel. Not all evos are the same too, so what works for someone might not work for yours.

Personally, I always flash the kernel after the rom, so its done in 2 recovery sessions. Seems to alleviate the potential problems.

Same here, it lets everything get settled in a bit before swapping the kernel. Although I think he's not changing roms at this time but who knows.

Ah true, but still good advice to have on deck.
I have always flashed the kernel with the rom too, (after the rom) I am just going with a different kernel and wasn't quite sure if I needed to clean (wipe) everything. Thanks for the help

Anyone running Denomination?

Wondering if anyone is running Denomination? I am currently running Denomination myself and I guess the kernel that comes with it. Im basically wondering which kernel you guys are using with this and noticed in the gs3 resource bible that there are a few kernels for the touch wiz 4.1.1 roms. I was thinking of trying the faux kernel but not sure if I will be taking a step back or forward by doing this from the kernel that comes with Denomination. Everything seems to be working fine but want more, so is this better?

Every phone handles kernels differently. The best way to find out is to nandroid and give it a try. You could get a good idea by reading the last few pages in faux's thread to see what users are reporting.
Ok, what should I expect to see, or not see by using a different kernel? What should I look for?
Is there a special way to flash a kernel? Can I just wipe cache and wipe dalvik, flash kernel, wipe cache and dalvik again, then reboot?

Faux's kernel is the sh#t on the first and second charge cycles and it seems like after the first one or two charge cycles the battery drains really quick, you ma have different results but it's definitely worth trying.
And yes what you go to flash a kernel, wipe cache and dalvik cache, flash kernel, wipe cache and dalvik cache and then reboot your device.

Yea but besides for the battery draining issue....why is it good, whats the point?

Whichever one works better for you. There are different customizations for each ROM, but it's up to you to decide which one works better for your needs.

I never have that issue even with dirty flash. Have you tried to wipe system, data, everything? I think you can try to Odin back to stock, then root it and start everything fresh. Sometimes the old files are still left over and mess up your phone.

The sad thing is, that's all I've been doing. Using Odin and keep going back to stock, update to ICS with Kies, and then hope to try and run another version of the ROM, and still no luck. It's quite frustrating. And yeah, I wiped system, data, everything. Did a full on wipe.
Also, has anyone have been getting call issues? Like you sound muzzled to your callers?

Here is solution for your issue:
1. Upgrade recovery, or switch to TWRP.
2. Clean flash rom again.
3. Flash the newest radio UVLI4, or LI1.

DO NOT do that if you are on the latest TWRP or CWM 6.+ cause Darkside super wipe was discontinued. For AOKP and CM 10.1 Nightly I just did a data/partition wipe and flash gapps.

[Q] AxisM ROM Question {Solved}

Have any one of you tried the AxisM ROM, it was previously called GalaxyMOD I believe. I usually don't flash Universal ROMs, the only one I tried before this was Hyperdrive which I kinda liked but wanted to wait until the bugs are ironed out but I did give this ROM a try because I saw one of our dev (the awesome grue) on the team members list (team synergy).
The issue is the ROM doesn't boot at all, it's not stuck at samsung logo or anything, I see the samsung logo and it goes blank, nothing happens. Please let me know if any of you guys got it to work. Would be awesome if Grue can make it work for us since he is on their team as well.
Here is the link to the ROM.

I just figured it wouldn't hurt to try. I haven't tried it but being it is Verizon branded but universal I figured flashing a kernel might help too. Never hurts to try though, just nandroid back if need be.

Downloaded KT747 and now back to flashing again. I have a slimbean backedup anyway. Will report back if I get it working.
On a sidenote, if I do get it booting but like the other user said have FC's, what other good kernels for TW do we have as alternatives? Agat & Lean Kernel 2.9?
I guess I could try freeza's optimized stock kernel as well.
EDIT: Ok, Flashed AxisM zip, Selected Sprint option and the dev picks option for apps, unchecked reboot option, flashed KT747 latest (4-11 I think) and it booted fine. No FC's until now. Phone and data working, data is a bit slow than usual though. Haven't tested anything esle but it looks pretty sweet.
Glad you got it buddy.

It's not an at&t only ROM. It's a universal ROM, like Hyperdrive that you can see on our forums. And I've been running it since yesterday morning and it's running pretty well. There is an another one called Synergy ROM, so 3 roms AFAIK that you can flash on any carrier S3.

[Q] reccomend me a rom.

I am currently using the MOAR rom by NOOBZ, and love it except my phone reboots about 30 times a day.
when they updated the rom i flashed the new one and still have the same problem and reading the thread so do other people.
I want a rom that has good loud audio, i've read features on a lot of roms and couldn't find any except the noobz rom that had extreme volume
listed. 1 with beats installed would be cool also.
but i've got to get a new rom it reboots in calls and at bad times.
Most likely you did something incorrect. I would wipe phone completely clean and reflash the rom.
Transmitted with a portable device using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
Do a complete wipe before install. If you are using another custom kernel make sure, it is not a cause for reboots.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
There is a flashable zip that will enable extra loud volume in any TW rom
MOAR is my goto rom and runs better than stock, how did you install it and with which options? If I had to guess in the dark, I'd guess your kernel voltages are too low but who knows...
If you want something different maybe try TPR or venum?
// Galaxy SIII SPH-L710 // MOAR 4.0 MD4 4.2.1 JB // KT747 ktoonservative-BFQ 384-1809Mhz + rescaling // Crossbreeder entropy + DNS + blocking // LagFix fsTRIM // Nova Prime // sent from xda premium
Not enough info to assist you, what kernel did you flash? What audio mods have you flashed? Sounds to me like you want audio so I am curious what type of mods you have flashed following the rom and what kernel settings you have.
I suggest you boot into recovery, wipe dalvik, cache, factory/data and the flash the stock or optimized stock kernel and whatever mods via the aroma installer. And DO NOT flash or install anything else for a day or two.
Phones rebooting are 99.99% kernel related, the other .01% is bad phone or just plain bad karma related.
Hope this helps, let us know.
Try a fresh download to your pc, then transfer that to your sd card. Could also be a bad download
I cannot hold on,
I will not let go
i fallowed all instructions on the rom page for install, and stock kernel and extreme volume.
i have reinstalled the rom 3 times and 1 of those was the latest updated version.
it's a problem listed in the lond thread on the rom, but low post count can't post there yet.
its probably Bad kernel install or bad download. Naddict is more than likely correct. This I have to say, I don't recall seeing anyone reporting multiple boot loops running moar. This rom is one of three of the most stable and well put together roms I have run. Good luck
Flash! Ahh Ahha! ☆★☆
I would recommend Goodness Reborn. Very stable and customizable.

it's not boot loops it just randomly reboots, that's the only problem i have with this rom, i love everything else.
should i just reflash and change kernel, if so which kernel should i choose.
also, i haven't flashed any of the add ons, cus i don't use drop box or any of the google crap except gmail.
