Kernels - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Can someone please explain to me the main differences between faux kernel,glitch and elemental x for stock rom?
i don't want to compare or make a best kernel thread i am rather confused and if someone can give me a short answer that would be much appreciated. Thanks :good:

There are feature lists/changelogs in those threads.
Read them to see what they offer. A lot is the same or similar.
Try out all of them and see what you like best.

Glitch offers slightly more options than elementalx, but both are great kernels.

Simple Question.... Re: Kernel

I know I need a Kernel that supports overclocking before I use something like CPUBoost... which one can anyone recommend that is stable and would allow this.
Sorry this is my first time posting in this forum... was using the Eris up until yesterday.
Thanks in advance.

It's all preference, depends on if you are using an AOSP rom or Sense rom. Try them out for yourself and then decide, everyone gets different results.
I'm just throwing this out there we can only overclock our phones a wee bit and it for me at least destroys battery life.

I am looking to underclock for the most part with screen off settings.... I want to get a full day out of this phone somehow.

honestly you could probably get away with just installing some of the AOSP kernels floating around the Dev threads...I LOVE invisibleks line of kernels, #28 is a champion for me...but I believe the new Tiamat line of kernels is concentrating on aggressive undervolting...I would give them a try
Might try that... it's weird, coming from an Eris, there's definitely a more professional way about this forum. BUT (big but).... the ROM's seems to be overall more incomplete and I am worried about losing somee functionality. So installing a Kernel would be my best bet I guess.... being I would retain all the functionality of the stock ROM.
Hope I make sense.
Oh the other thing is... when a kernel is AOSP compatible, that means stock ROM also right?

[Q]What kernel do you recommend?

Im still new to the tmobile gs2, had it a couple days. Had a atet gs2 before, what kernel do you guys recommend? right now im trying faux's kernel.
what are you hoping to get with a different kernel?
there are many to choose from
and they are all similar in what they offer
so unless you know exactly what you want, there's no telling which one is the one you are looking for

ok what would be the best kernel for great battery life, and also smoothness and speed. so yeah the best kernel for battery,speed nice and snappy smooth etc?
bullet, synergy and faux are the most popular ones. I personally use faux since i've historically used his for the g2x and sensation which gave me really good results. I've used bullet as well and it was pretty solid. the faux kernel is the newest of the three i've mentioned so it's not as "mature" as the other two yet. That being said, i haven't had problems with reboots.

The question you ask is really hard to answer. Phones are like people. They are picky about what they like best on them. Certain kernels that may work the best for me. May not work the best for you.

I know that, just wondering what the majority of people's opinions are on which one has the best battery life, speed, smoothness etc. Of course I want speed and smoothness, but mostly want to know which one has the best battery life.
I really appreciate everyones replies, thanks alot!!
i tried several
my fav are bullet and/or synergy
both works well with most ROM available in the DEV section

FAUX123 give me the smoothness of Synergy but better battery life.

[Q] MildWildCM7 vs ICS (stability) | BCM ICS vs Sandvolds ICS?

Hey there,
I've been using MILDWILD CM7 (3.9 right now) for several months and i am very happy with its smoothness and stability. Nevertheless I'm interested in trying out one of the "true" ICS roms. Is there anyone who has experiences regarding smothness and stability. Are Sandvold's and dk_zero_cool ICS roms as good as MW (despite the camera errors)?
Furthermore I'd like to ask whats the difference between those real ICS roms?
Does sandvolds rom also deliver additional settings as the cm9 options in BCM ICS?
what about stability and smoothness?
Reading the last 5 to 10 pages of those rom thread would give you an idea.

The answers to your questions are already out there. Honestly, I'd rather be productive doing something else that will benefit me than to give you a full rundown of things that you can go figure out yourself anyway. I don't care if you find my answer useless but given the fact that this thread hasn't been productive in getting any other answers speaks for itself.
So yeah go ahead and call me a fool.

Um, maybe because you're incapable of finding the right information which is already written, thus being incapable of using forums as a viable source of information?

Really? You had to say it that way? You should really consider yourself lucky you even got an answer in the first place asking a question on:

Yes many developers do as you mentioned especially when tweaking a certain kernel to be very effecient with their ROM, but they still mention sometimes that their ROM is compatible with some other kernels. That means what the developer may have tested and found as best for that ROM could be totally different according to the usage of the user. So just try the kernel that the developer recommends and if you are not satsified then try other kernels until you are satisfied with one
I know this may not be the answer you hoped for but I have always read (and believed) that there is no best ROM and there is no best kernel, only the user can judge according to his/her needs
Your answer was apt..I ve been flashing Roms and have not really experimented with kernels yet..been extremely careful with my device ,dint really want to brick it. Thanks again..could you suggest a good kernel for P A 2.99 beta 7?

Well, I never tried that ROM because I am always using my own compiled one with Trinity Kernel
Probably if you read at that ROM thread here then you will find what others are using with it

Check this to read a nice article about kernels first
Then go to the "Development" section of your Gnex type (maguro, toro, or toroplus) and read the first post of each kernel as suggested by bk201doesntexist to choose the one that suits you

Hello all. ROM recommendations?

This thread will soon be locked with all the others. But before it is... My thoughts are, Check out the threads for roms you might like, Read features/bugs/working/not portion.. Go to last few pages of thread.. read what users are experiencing with lastest release. Find the best fit for you. There are TONS of options. I run The People's Rom, Ktoons Kernel combo (Available through flash) and you have crazy customization options using Morphology. (Which is supported in TPR) Overall consensus of that rom is.. Great battery life, Snappy, and just what the doctor ordered!
