[KERNELS] Best of the best | .35 | for Newbie | Explanations Guides and Suggestions

[recreation012]

This will guide you and teach you too ONLY if you read well rather than just pressing download links!

Now that we had TONS of kernels out there, It doesn't means NEWER = BETTER.
Here you will find useful links to guide on choosing which kernels fits your needs.
This is pointing out and will be guide for those people who dont know what is a KERNEL?
This thread is for those who doesn't know wtf does a kernel is, for those gamers for those on stock roms for those who wants performance for those wants promising benchmark scores etc..


KERNEL? what is it?

In computing, the kernel (from German Kern, nucleus, core) is the main component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components). Usually as a basic component of an operating system, a kernel can provide the lowest-level abstraction layer for the resources (especially processors and I/O devices) that application software must control to perform its function. It typically makes these facilities available to application processes through inter-process communication mechanisms and system calls.

This shown picture above gives you the basic idea what does a kernel is and
what depends on it.

Now that you know what a kernel does, its time to know what VSYNC (Vertical Synchronization) is?

Vertical Synchronization, also called Vertical Sync, or simply VSync for short, was primarily required because of the physical limitations of CRT monitors as discussed in the Refresh Rate section. A CRT monitor has to constantly light up the phosphors on the screen many times per second to maintain an image, and can only do this a certain number of times per second based on how fast the electron gun in the monitor can move. Each time it has to redraw the entire screen again, it moves the electron gun inside the monitor from the bottom of the screen to point to the top left of the screen, ready to 'repaint' all the lines on the screen from top left to bottom right, and back again for the next refresh. The period during which the electron gun moves to the top of the screen for a new refresh is called the Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI).

Enabling VSync tells your graphics card to synchronize its actions with your monitor. That means the graphics card is only allowed to swap its frame buffer and send a new frame to the monitor when the monitor says it is ready to repaint a new screen - i.e. during the VBI. Your graphics card and monitor do not have to be in sync; they can still operate properly when VSync is disabled, however when VSync is disabled, you can experience a phenomenon called Tearing in periods when your graphics card and monitor go out of sync, precisely because the graphics card and monitor are acting without regard for each other's limitations.

Now base on my experience, this are the .35 kernels (never had tried .32 so I cant point out which one is good for me) I personally found out useful and those gave me good experience on stock and custom roms.
NOTE: it doesn't means all of this are BUG free!


For stock rom 2.3 | .35 kernel

Vsync off
The smoothest one i found for stock lg rom|voff gives smoother ui transitions and scrolling

Rome-v1.3.3-cfs-vsync-off by zack here

Vsync on
Best one i tried for von on stock rom

paolo's OC kernel V3 here
you'll find the thread here but most of the links are dead


For custom roms, all cm7 based rom (miui, lewa.etc) and themed roms |.35

Vsync on
best ones i tried that gave me performance and really good experience even on games!

Ta-gb-kernel-v1.1 by thachtunganh: here

Roq kernel-IX by Roqu3: here

Roq kernels (for those who doesnt even give effort to search but rather spam and ask anywhere) here! Newer doesn't mean better

Vsync off
for benchmark HOGS and for games who need further more frames for HQ games

PP kernel v1.7 ta-gb 1.2 based, originaly by thachtunganh moded by trettet here (the best for games so far)

Candied kernels by DJnoXD here (voff with variety of touch fixes also good for heavy games but lesser benchmark scores compared from PP kernel v1.7)

I'd be curious to know about ics kernels..I'm currently using redpill and stay with stock kernel but the developer has made a suggestion of not overclocking,but nice tutorial..this should be a sticky

GTR.

 

[recreation012]

A good rom like CM and a good kernel as in my suggestions will give you good game experience, as of now I'am on gsnap rom simply because its CM but I like the way its very lightweight.

 

[dokvader114]

i confused on my question i meant which kernel is the best for gaming? im curnttly using GTR-V7.8 kernel roq+paolo touch fix

That's great for gaming but u might wanna use PP Kernel by trette that is the best for gaming

PP kernel 1.7 will give you performance but i dont suggest it on stock cm, may be on GTR but on stock it would only make scrolling sluggish because of screen tearing.

so what do you reccomend on GTR ( WHICH KERNEL?)

 

[neko95]

> agreed with roq IX and ta-gb 1.1:good:

 

[bartholomeuznight]

I have a question I'm on aokp dynamite's ics and the performance is awesome. but some games (not necessary heavy weight) don't start. in somewhere I read that changing the kernel would help. so is anybody here in ics using custom kernels?
