Your favorite rom, kernel and settings

lowtje · Oct 13, 2012

Hi guys! Lot's of threads are about "the best rom" or "best kernel and battery life" but there is no best rom or kernel. Everyone has his own taste

Please share your favorite rom&kernel + your settings. and offcourse share your experience with performance and battery life :cowboy:

I'm currently trying out a few roms and will get back when I see some good replies here!

I'm on stock 4.1.2 image with stockish custom kernel from _thalamus and it's great compared to 4.1.1. Chrome runs at same speed as stock Browser now and memory management got alot better.

One problem with stock ROMs: features limited, otherwise, they are great in terms of stability.
For me, i'm balancing between codenameandroid and MIUI(miui.us versions).

Was using CNA before for 2 months, but always thought that stock is more smoother. Don't mind that much for features and got fed up with constant updating.

I used stock non rooted for some time and I liked the smoothness. The thing I missed was BLN and some other options. Also the battery life with moderate use is less good then some custom roms. Now flashing strawberry rom =)

I'm rocking CM10 w/ Marmite right now since they merged in 4.1.2 asap.. As soon as AOKP Build #5 is released I'm jumping back on the Unicorn saddle w/ Marmite though.. Love me some unicorns!

I'm going to try that as i too have rasbean jelly 10/10 build on my ns4g w/ marmite kernel 4.8.7. This combo plays very nice as well. I've had no reboots and the battery life gets me to about 24 - 32 hours of life. Going to see if i can actually beat that with Trinity kernel.

TNS11-JB-ALPHA12 is this the t11 kernel you use?

What are good kernel settings for marmite to get good battery life?

Well for the 4.8.7 version, the scheduler is CFQ and i use On Demand 200min/ 1000max. I use NS Tools to put the On Demand Sampling rate at 120000 to save battery. This works for me.

Ok, will give that a go!

How can you use rasbean jelly on the nexus s 3g? I thought it only was for the nexus s 4G version?

Oh one more thing, what does that mean if i change the on demand sampling rate from 40000 to 120000?

Actualy rasbean is 3g, but ported to 4g by Rustyjay

I'm on The Strawberry rom now. Running very very smooth and I like the battery life aleeady after one day of use. This rom is based on the rasbean source!

CM9.1.0 with default kernel and settings.

It may 'only' be ICS, but it runs better than any JB rom/kernel combo that I've tried on my phone to date.
