Hey,as the title says,does anybody experience stuttering,like little freezes,using franco's kernels? I don't know why my phone does that,cuz this kernel is the best(not for me sadly) I only experience this with stock and franco's kernel,I tried many roms including stock from google images.I also tried not installing any app,but this isn't the cause of the mess.So is there anyone dealing with a sluggish phone on franco's kernels?

if you say its the best, but not for you, then is it really the best? remember, the best kernel is what works for you the best. try trinity kernel, or try various other set ups with franco kernel, like rasbean jelly rom, or other governor configurations.
I think I tried all franco kernels configurations this far...faux is working verry well for me...the only thing is that my phone overheats too much...like 70-80 °C at 1.3 GHz when playing games.
For me I get crappy performance in games such as NFS Most Wanted, Dead Trigger (lags even in medium settings), also get 20-30 FPS on Quadrant, so changed to Purity Kernel, everything works great, all tests are 60 FPS on Quadrant
Every phone is different. I have seen many people have a love vs hate relationship with Franco Kernel. He does a great job for stability. I didn't experience any stuttering with his kernels but didn't have the best luck with battery life. Was maybe average for me at best. I had good luck with Tiny with no issues what so ever. I was loving lean as well but then starting getting wifi and data drops with low battery. Test each kernel with your device and run for a day or 2 so it settles with your ROM. Good luck!

Hello all. I wanted to see if tips could be posted on how to increase scrolling laginess and increase fps in things like video and games. I bought my wife the shift and Ive noticed its alot better at mobile gaiming and video playback/recording.
Ive rooted and installed myns warm two point two along with netarchy-toastmod 4.3.4 cfs havs more nosbc.
Ive overclocked to 1.2ghz using setcpu and left the governor on smartass. (no profiles)
These seem to have made a visual improvement, but I want/need more.
So my questionis are...
Is there specific kernels that will help get the results Im looking for? (Im more insterested in performace, but would like batterly life is possible)
Are there any hidden tips that can be done via command line etc that will change things to allow for a better fps performance?
ANy help, links, etc will be appreciated. Ive been searching for weeks already just to get myself rooted/romed/kerneled.
The Shift has a better processor and a better GPU. I don't think you're going to be able to match it by overclocking. There are ROMs that tend to be a little smoother than others (MikFroyo 4.6 is nice), but there's only so much that can be done with the hardware. The Evo itself is almost a year old, and the QSD8650 SoC it uses has been available since Q4 2008.

As bkrodgers said, the Shift has better hardware than the Evo. My roomate has one, and that thing really is smooth, even on the stock rom. It nailed like 1400 or something like that on quadrant, not even overclocked on a stock rom. The only changes I ever make to my phone that affects the scrolling is the kernel. My phone doesn't like havs, the voltage scaling makes it unstable, and it lags severely, on any havs kernel. I get the smoothest experience out of my device from a kernel that has no havs and isn't undervolted. Of course, you get bettery battery life out of a kernel with havs, if your phone can tolerate it. Every phone acts differently on different kernels, which is why there are so many to choose from. So you can find the one that's 'just right' on your device. It takes a little playing around and kernel swapping to find the right combo. And as far as I know, basically all the kernels that have been available for a good number of months now, have the fps fix already baked in. When the Evo's first came out, FPS was capped at 30fps. Since then, all the custom kernels allow for it to go much higher than that, sometimes up to 60fps. I don't believe there's much more you can do with that.
Also, for what it's worth, you might want to try out an AOSP rom. They have much less crap in them, and they tend to run very very smooth (in my experiences). Not to talk down on any sense rom, as I also love sense, and 99% of the time and more than happy on whatever sense rom I happen to be running at the time. Fortunately, the Evo has quite a few selections on roms and kernels, so there is quite a bit of playing around and tweaking you can do, in search of the perfect setup.
thanks I'll probably try miks rom to see how that goes.
I understand about the hardware and that the shift has a better cpu, but is there anything else other than what I have already done to make everything nice and speedy UI wise? I think the biggest culprit is the app drawer being clunky. (like this on the shift as well) No settings in linux that can help there?
Oh and kernels. Ive tried 2 of netarchy-toastmods kernels and havent really noticed a difference. Both have had havs. Should I stay away from these type of kernels to get better visual performance?
ANy other tips on which kernels youve tried and noticed better ui results?
ah yes the elections are great. lol I guess I'll have to try a non havs kernel to see how they perform along with the senseless roms.
Thanks all

You're welcome. Just bear in mind, that if you do try out an AOSP rom, that they have different kernels to use. You must use a kernel that was made for AOSP on an AOSP rom. So don't go trying a netarchy kernel on an AOSP rom
Also, I didn't have as good a luck with net's 4.3.4 kernel's as I did on the 4.2.2 or 4.3.2. Also the 4.1.9 kernel's worked great for me. For some reason, the newest one's don't give me the best performance.
As far as tweaking things using ADB, I don't think there's anything you can do FPS related. I believe there are ways to adjust the undervolting in a kernel, using adb, and things like that. But as far as I know, the FPS is what it is at this point, although it will vary from kernel to kernel.
Hello All!
I made a similar thread to this over at the SGSII forums and was wondering what your answers are. So, the question is simple, which Kernel are you using and is the battery decent? Or a pile of rubbish? Lemme know. Poll has been setup with the main Kernels, I'll put an "other" option for people who are using new Kernels.
So, poll away!

was using James Bond kernel 1.35 OC UV, never crash or lag. far better battery life than stock and super smooth.
right now i am testing faux123's kernel V9u for 4.0.2.

I tried Faux 4.0.3 Kernel yesterday, battery was losing 2% every 30 mins on idle, with next to 0 apps installed.
Running Stock AOKP Milestone 2 kernel, whichever kernel that is!
I wanna try different kernel but my ROM is perfect, not sure sure what other kernels may add that my rom already has and does.

As far as features go, Franco.Kernel adds color and vibrance to your screen. Its also tweakable so you can customize the color settings as you please. Battery is apparently awful though.

thank u. just flashed that kernel, latest. but i dont see color control option anywhere... its supposed to be built in the kernel but i dont see it...
unless i have to pay for the app he has which i dont wanna just for a color change.
am i just blind, not seing that option arggh
:update
ok got it, commands.

I am sort of noticing that battery life isn't so great too, although I wasn't sure since I haven't been running it for very long.
I was also looking for the best kernel.
Everybody talks about franco.Kernel. I will give it a try though.
Was using Franco's until earlier and now back to the Apex kernel that comes with bigxie's AOSP build
Eh? Franco kernel has the best battery life for me.

I just loaded on Lean kernel yesterday. Initial indications are that the battery life is extremely good.
180mhz cpu while screen off = happy battery.
Giving glaDOS a try.. it has some cool features like turn the screen on by touching it.. also has color control and battery life seems pretty decent so far. Big fan of imoseyon though.

I'm currently on Bigxie Build 8 with the Kernel included with it. Battery is pretty good. Underclocked my CPU to 970MHz. Losing 2% battery overnight (About 8 hours) and High usage I'm getting a decent amount of battery.
I'm wondering: I'm running ARHD 2.1.3 and thinking about flashing a kernel. Franco's had more options, but I'm getting that Jame Bonds kernel has a better battery life. That appeals to me. edit: ah, I see that Franco's is only for 4.0.3
Still, when I flash the kernel with ARHD 2.1.3 running, is it better to flash the anykernel.zip or should I just flash the original kernel?
Argh, just in the fun, looking for the best kernel. I'm between Franco's and Der Kernel Trinity NP (by the way, NP, Google, don't let Samsung impose it's boring naming system)
Trinity offers 512OC for the GPU, but I'd say Franco gives a better battery life....
Hmmmm difficult decision, isn't it? What do you guys think?
Currently rocking the Trinity kernel with mildly OC'd GPU (384 MHz).
I'm using imoseyon's kernel. I love minimalist kernels. Stable, fast, and not full of crapfeatures that just cause everything to crash and SOD and bootloop.
I think it's probably a good idea to give a try first of the kernel that comes with the ROM. Developers often adjust the ROM around the kernel they use and vice versa.
i went back to the James Bond kernel, no reboot or lag.
Lean IMO

Hey guys I have tried the HD ROM, Beastless bug and I am currently on liquid ROM. so far the liquid I have liked the best but it is just too buggy with apps closing constantly and other weird things happening. What do you guys suggest for speed and reliability? Thanks heaps for any suggestions
I'm running Manhattan ROM IC120 with its standard kernel (leankernel) for almost as long as the ROM has existed and it has yet to fail me, very stable, very fast but low quadrants (which doesn't mean anything in the end). I recommend you give it a try
I'm with AOKP (The most common ROM) with Franco kernel and my phone is blazingly fast. No lockups, no reboots. EXCELLENT 34+ hours battery life, not kidding
I have tried many ROMS & kernels last few weeks, I achieve the best results with AOKP b27 & franco.Kernel r66 and r94, the latter slightly faster.
Manhattan, OAKP M4 (and build previous to b27), Apex / Trinity, Leankernel, franco.Kernel, GlaDOS. Glados had best screen on time, bust wasn't utterly fast. Trinity is FAST, but not so good battery life when screen is on.
I love alle the customization options in OAKP, and b27 turned out best for me.
My experience with the kernels, from good for battery (screen on!!) to fast:
- GlaDOS
- Leankernel
- franco.Kernel
- Trinity
No Nexus is the same, so YMMV
I am on 3G mostly, and most of the time is spent browsing. The OAKP b27 & franco.Kernel r94 gives me both good battery life for browsing a lot and a fast and stable combo.
Thanks heaps for the replies guys. I have flashed AOKP and it is awesome, liking it very much. To flash Franco Kernal now do I just install it through recovery like I did with the ROM?
Yes mate, get the cwm flashable zips from Francisco's thread. Then flash the zip through cwm recovery
And drink a coffee/ beer less and spent the money on franco.Kernel updater app, it's AWESOME and let's you change pretty much anything related to his kernels.
Ok thanks, have done both . Phone is flying now and I love the mods and kernal.
And you was asking for KERNEL not KERNAL !!!
franco
I recommend Franco kernel updater app. It has many handy setting ( USB fast charge, hot plug, etc) and allow you to download only or download&flash stable kernels and nightlies too !

milestone 4+leankernel 2.5.0
I highly recommend FuguMod kernel. It's a fantastic kernel. I have loaded many kernels including Franco and Trinity. By far and wide FuguMod kernel is the best, fastest and most stable kernel I've used. It's also actively updated. I don't see myself using anything else anymore.
CM9 has been great for me. Fast, smooth. Just using the stock kernel.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
AOKP M4 + Franco M1 = not too bad
ive had good luck with aokp m4 + franco r97
im trying franco m1 currently
Currently on bugless beat. Works fine and close to stock.
Just switched from CM9 to Modaco w/Franco and its the smoothest/quickest Rom I have used. No customizing tho.

Hi guys
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good kernel to use along with MIUI 4.1 JB. I play some games from time to time (even the most graphics demanding ones) but I'm not a heavy gamer. What I'm looking for is better performance and a bit better battery life. Thanks.

stick with the default kernel for now..no kernel source means no custom kernels...you can try Trip's kernel but to be honest i would wait once source gets released before you try custom kernels
Thanks Goku80, I'll follow your advice and stick to the default for now.
We have some good Kernels for our Whyred. What is the best in your opinion?
Someone looks for performance, balance and only battery backup. I think we dont have a definitive solution.
I'm looking for performance and I'm currently using Kangaroo 5.1 OC version and I get around 6 hrs of SoT, on 4G all the time and mostly indoor use.

Kangaroox OC is the best Kernel for performance I think.
Overally best is icecold. Also purecaf is a really great kernel
There is no best, best is always relative
This Post was sent from a Script by @baalajimaestro
Kangaroo non-oc version seems to heat my device up much more than purecaf when using hotspot. So I just use purecaf as it heats less and gives slightly more fluid ui in my experience.
Everyone of them makes camera not to work?
I've tried Illusion, Agni, PureCaf, IceCold, basically all the major kernels with HavocOS and so far the best one I've found is KangarooX. I don't game at all on my phone but I prefer a smooth experience in daily use and KangarooX delivers that. It's the most well balanced kernel I've ever come across. No twiddling or tweaking, it just works fluidly day in, day out. No sudden lags or freezes, apps open almost instantly, animations are fluid and battery backup is pretty amazing. Better than IceCold whilst offering far more stable experience.
