I'm looking for any AOSP kernels not based on CM. It turns out the current 3.4 kernels for CM mess up my phone badly causing random reboots. I do not yet know how to build a kernel, hence I'm searching for the possibility of any that is not CM based.
Nope, they are all forked from CM's common one unfortunately
And it wouldn't just require building a kernel...you would need to port another AOSP kernel which is no easy task
Then I guess it's back to TW for good until the problem I'm having with CM 3.4 kernel is fixed, if ever. It was a nice ride with CM right from my GNex to this SGSIII d2spr. Now I can understand why AOKP do not have an AOSP ROM for the Sprint variant of the S3... It just doesn't work...
FAIL for CM... Bye to CM...
in what way does your phone "mess up"? i have the same device and i have not had a problem with Kernels at all
This is not the same rom as "Vanir" in Orig Development, becuase it's GEE based and there are the newest nightly builds, the Vanir from Orig Development is Gproj based and the last build is 4.4.2 from December 2013 - outdated and without significant featuresFirstly, all below is not my work... I just wanted to share it, because on my e975 it works like a charm
it has full of less or more tweak and features like:
- Halo, Hover, Heads Up
- Floating Mode
- Active Display
- Peek
- etc...
Here is the original thread.

I recommend Franco kernel (from faust93 thread), it's batter efficient.
But if you like check these kernels... (MiRaGe, AK and mart1x)
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B9EFp1W1O3f2SFVaNGg4SzVHelk&usp=sharing
If you use any of these kernels i suggest flashing this too (after flashing you have to install "Synapse" from Google Play):
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B77BTW0zStYCU0VOa3FHY2NNTjQ&usp=sharing&tid=0B77BTW0zStYCSTRIYWpZQS1nOWs
This (with Synapse app) lets you control many different hotplug version like Autohotplug, Autosmp or MSM Hotplug (I'm almost sure that Trickster Mod can't do that), also it has a lot of options to tweak your kernel.
You can also check out these drivers for better performance ( for me i think the march adreno drivers are the fastest +100 to 3d in antutu)
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B77BTW0zStYCU0VOa3FHY2NNTjQ&usp=sharing&tid=0B77BTW0zStYCSTRIYWpZQS1nOWs
Just let me know which combination of kernel and drivers are working the best (the most in performance)
Enjoy
Pretty sure there's already a thread for Vanir Gee in original android development, be careful your post may be removed. Anyway, did you get the camera working properly without stretching and stuff?

Yes, there is Vanir in original android development, but it's 4.3 (stable) and 4.4.2 nighlty build from Dec 2013 - so it's outdated.
Furthermore, it's made from Gproj sources. This one is for Gee and it has daily updates/nightlies (last from 2nd Sep).
About camera there are three little bugs:
- when you turn on HDR, the camera preview is a bit stretched (but the photo is made as it should, i mean, it has bigger fov than preview).
- the camera app starts a little bit slow, you have to wait about 2 seconds.
Probably you mean aspect ratio problem (the preview is a bit vertically stretched) ? This camera doesn't have true view (true aspect ratio mode). When you change image size to 6MP , there is no problem.
If you want to have 4:3 preview (in 13MP) you have to flash PA rom, make a TB backup of camera app, then flash Vanir, and delete Vanir camera app (otherwise the PA cam won't replace the Vanir one), then restore PA cam, (don't reboot till restore or you can have some problems with cam).
It was working on Gproj roms, i haven't tried it on Gee roms, but probably you'll need Gee based PA. Hope it helps.
Just discovered that faust93 has released an experimental kernel which fixes camera bugs on gee roms if you're interested

Yes, I'm interested... (you mean using stock kk kernel camera drivers or sth?) maybe i could contact with vanir devs to impelemt it into their nightlies. Is it a zip, or some kind of terminal typing (like in volume keys trick)?

He has used stock kk kernel drivers yes, he has an experimental kernel out that works but to implement it into an existing kernel you need to patch it which i dont know how to do. Awesome news though!

About the camera,i didn't see any problems with camera (maybe you have other camera hw module) , can you record your screen?
edit: patching doesn't seem too hard, there's a program which does it if you have patch source, but if someone doesn't know C well this can be really hard
BTW
I don't even know how too anyway, i'm often dissatisfied of kernels (always there's a lack of sth), so maybe i'll try to build my own (sounds crazy).
I'm thinking about modifying franco kernel (such a great work, but no cpu & gpu oc and gpu uv) for aosp, or sth for gproj (f93 is great but no oc, solid has oc but in the end f93 has less slowdowns in games and it has faux123's hotplug & thermal).
It fixes camera stretch, improves the quality and photosphere and pano work in Google Camera. Building a kernel sounds fun

Downloadin the exp version of franco, did you noticed any bugs except vk and 13mp problem?
Vk? 13mp camera bug is ROM dependent. On dirty unicorns the official camera is 8mp but every other camera app on Google play is 13mp. Battery life is men but it might be DU. Trying vanir tonight.

VK i mean volume keys bug, when i was using DU with AK-xGenesis kernel, battery life was poor (maybe to much app wakelocks). In my opininion CM11 (with f93 gproj kernel) and "the rom posted above " (with franco ) has very good battery life.

I think its different ROMs. In Vanir the volume key bug is present, in DU its the same. In PA and TEMASEK it is not. Where did you say faust's volume key trick was?
EDIT: Found it but don't think it's compatible with Vanir.

Temasek? You mean unofficial cm? Btw, maybe it will work, just try, i noticed the volume key bug is kernel related too (it seems the VK bug is a relic from original nexus 4 version) (on Sprint OG Franco Kernel there no inverted keys ,check it out -> http://d-h.st/3kM ). Btw Vanir is mainly CM based (i've seen it somewhere but i don't remember where)
Some offtopic:
I'm not sure, but the performance is rom relative too? Some builds are slower, some faster (even if both are 4.4 roms).
I wonder why the 4.4 builds are slower than 4.3 ones. Vanir 4.3 was really ultra lighting fast, never seen such a fast rom, some roms with oc gpu & cpu were not as fast a Vanir 4.3 with f93 [email protected] stock cpu & gpu freq. What is that magical , maybe gpu driver (tried some kk adreno drivers, but there were no big effect).
Look, i've migrated from vanir 4.3 to cm11 m8 (then m9), on both roms i was using f93 kernel with the same settings, but the difference in Antutu 5.0 is about 2-3k ( on 3d test vanir works much more fluid), in games 4.3 works better too.
Hmmm... If 4.3 kernel can work without any problems on 4.4 (i mean f93 gproj), so maybe a jb 4.3 driver could be work (with some modifications) on 4.4. Probably you already know what I'm lookin for, i want as great performance as on Vanir 4.3 and ART runtime (or shortly the most power)
(It had a rom thread, but it looks more like a disscussion, LOL)

Sorry I've been busy with school but sounds good. So you aren't on a gee ROM anymore? I'm on PA gee and the volume keys bug is present but I'm working round it. By TEMASEK I mean faust93's unofficial CM yes.

Yep, just as you, i still changing rom... Vanir 4.4.4 is packed of features and pretty stable... but for the performance is the most important, gee kernels are too weak for me (or maybe it's a rom issue). I'll try the TEMASEK

remember build 15-01 is a Lollipop ROm. If you're using Jolla kernel ( gee/geeb/stock ) version, please:
- Before flash, format boot.img and format system in Advanced setting at Recovery
- Make sure your bootloader is updated to lastest Lollipop version ( mako )
- The best way to flash Lollipop Rom if you have a problem like bootloop or freezing is try to KDZ and return to stock, root and install recovery again.
I get my z1 compact tomorrow and I am looking for suggestions for a new ROM as I am coming from an s4 any good ones about?
Try CyanogenMod Original, it has everything you need
I would prefer CM11 over CM12.
Last nightly of CM11: http://forum.xda-developers.com/son.../cm11-nightly-available-anymore-help-t3014226
CM12 ist in Beta still... not every CM function is implemented yet. And it's not as stable as CM11... i would wait at least for M3 before using CM12.
You have to decide if you want a stock based ROM (Xperia feeling) or a full custom ROM (AOSP, CM, etc).
Apart from that, there is no "beginner" ROM whatsoever. It always depends on which features you want, how important battery life is and so on.
Just check the threads of the ROMs look at the features and screenshots and read what users say about it and then make your choice.
You can always backup your stock Android and try them out.
As far as I know, using custom ROM (that means any ROM not based on stock ROM) means worse camera performance and loss of other hardware related features as bravia engine and xloud. The last two do not seem that important, but the deterioration of camera performance is the main reason I do not use a custom ROM.
By the way, the ROM of my signature is perfect.
So I've tried all the ROMs, I've tried Stock (When I first got the phone) I then tried CM12.1, then FlexOS, then back to CM, then BlissPop, then back to CM, then Cloudy's ROM, then Back to c-... you get the idea.
I looked in to trying to compile my own kernel, because frankly there isn't an updated d855 CM12.1 kernel to be seen anywhere that has features to make CM the least bit smooth and I decided that with my coursework becoming a bigger part of my life that I would simply have no time to put in the work (Or the knowledge).
So what I'm asking is simple, can someone please compile a custom kernel for cm12.1? I love this ROM, the lack of customization features is a feature in itself for me considering I love AOSP, CM is perfect for my usage but I just need a custom kernel so that it can be complimented and optimized for the G3, thanks.
Hi all, I was wondering if there are many Omni 6.0 user out there that would like to test a custom kernel. I currently have a custom kernel going for the OnePlus One that uses the same source. I don't have the device, but anything that could possibly be fatal would kill my treasured OPO first .
Thanks,
Yoooshi
Custom kernel are aways welcome, since Find 7 only had Despair Kernel and it was descontinued and no kernels so far to MM releases (CM and Omni). Thanks for your interest in Find 7 @YoshiShaPow =)

I'd love to test out a custom kernel. Miss being able to use one of those since despairis ccontinued and my old galaxy s2.
I have a find7a running omnirom. I will definitely test it
Didn't work on omni rom. Caused it to hang at the omni logo.
