Hm, tough thing to answer.

Chainfire root- The simplest one out there. Keeps the kernel close to Stock.

Ninphetamine- Supports BLN, Overclocking, Voltage Tweaks etc.

There are few others too, but as I haven't tried them won't comment. Any kernel can be used with Stock firmware. Can't say about Custom firmwares as I am not interested.

Regards.

[KERNEL] SpeedMod SGS2 [K1-T27 CWM4 CIFS ROOT]

Forget about Ninphetamine unless you want to overclock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poch_1421:
neophyte's mirage kernel is also good for batt life. it has finer tweak settings for voltages as compared to other kernels.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
I've tried them all ninpo kernel and speedmod are two of the best. Currently using the tweaked speedmod by rage which allows undervolting. Ninpo kernel gives excellent standby idle rate.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
I like speedmod because i dont bother about BLN or overclocking. (1.2 GHz not good enough for you? :D) And i find the governer to be more aggressive and stable on speedmod. It spends more time on the lower frequencies too, saving more battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfa:
I'm trying the speedmod kernel but even though the benchmark is higher it doesn't seem as fast as the original XXKG2. For instance, I'm using "Photo Wall live wallpaper" and whenever I wake up the phone it takes like a second to refresh and load the photos...this didn't happen with XXKG2 (it was instantaneous).

What is a faster but still stable kernel alternative?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bynar010:
You could ask a 100 people and get 100 different answers.

The kernel that is best for you is the one you try and like the best. Just because one person likes a kernel doesn't mean you will as you've already found out.

Man up, do some downloading and find out for yourself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfa:
How helpful. I think you might just have been Ghandi in a different life.

There is a reason why I've posted this in the Q&A instead of in the development section where I would probably get an answer like yours.

I don't take chances with a 600us$ phone and won't be installing all available kernels when I can get advice here first (the reason forums like this actually exists and the reason why I love them...well, most of the time).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Photos live wallpaper etc would be more of a rom thing, than a kernel thing.

As far as best or what have you kernel, there is no best, i find ninphetamine to be good, you may not, and this might just end up turning into another thread of generic repetition and general uselessness.

The best way is to try them, as the person above said.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon3sh:
I am using KG6 with ninpheghamine 2.1.3 and quick and giving me almost two days of battery life but again maybe other kernels out there are better. You can try other ones and compare.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bynar010:
Christ on a bike. You do understand what you are getting into when you start dicking around with your phone and custom kernels don't you? You don't take chances with a 600 dollar phone - I'm afraid you are doing, everytime you install any custom rom or custom kernel. However there is no more risk in installing one custom kernel than another custom kernel (when they are out of beta anyway), but what people prefer is massively subjective! Theres no such thing as "the most balanced kernel" because people have differing views on which kernel offers this for them.

If your not sure about a kernel why not read the thread for that kernel and see what feedback its got. If you open a thread like this you'll get a ton of differing answers as you've seen already and its not going to keep you happy.

Sorry if you don't find my advice helpful, but I've managed to find the ROM I like and the kernel I like by TRYING them. Neither of which have been mentioned in this thread by the way, but I'm not going to say its best for you, because you likely use your phone for different scenarios than me.

If your going to step into the brave world of custom kernels, rooting, roms, themes, mods etc the best thing you can do - and I say this genuinely, and meaning to be helpful - is to read up on said things and try the ones you like the sound of and you trust to be safe.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfa:
Thanks. I've been reading good things about ninphetamine. I will give it a try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfa:
Couldn't this be GPU related? Do you think apps like Chainfire3D or Overclocking free (GPU/CPU) would fix it?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmon77:
I'm running the Froyo Comm ROM 2.0 and I got the market update a few days ago. I don't like the new version at all. If I restore a previous version, is there any way to keep the update from getting pushed again? I never got prompted for this last update, so there wouldn't be much point to restoring an older version if it will keep getting overwritten by updates.

hi i was wondering since i bought a new phone and verizon deactivated my dx, if it was possible to somehow install something that would allow me to use it as just a pda (with no data or phone service, just wifi)?

why? because i want to
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
Just enable airplane mode then enable wifi. Should work just fine.
[Droid X General] loismustdie555:
so i can still turn it on? :confused:
[Droid X General] loismustdie555:
ok just got it to work. AWSOME!! the funny thing is verizon told me that it would NOT even turn on if it wasn't connected to a number on their network!
[Droid X General] amaruk27:
Does the GPS work?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
On stock roms GPS doesn't work without activation; however, on roms such as CyanogenMod you can use GPS without having activated the phone.
[Droid X General] amaruk27:
Did they really tell you that? When the phone comes new from the factory it isn't activated. I guess they use elven magic to activate it *eyeroll* Verizon reps are serious bullsh!t artists.

That figures. Of course I'd take CM over stock any day.
[Droid X General] loismustdie555:
Yes they are. In fact they even told me I couldn't buy my new phone "unless it was connected to a phone number and their data package".

I want to do the same thing, however, when I turn my DE-ACTIVATED Droid X on the only option I get is "Welcome to Droid X, Touch thr Android to Begin" and then it wants to call Verizon to get the phone activated.

There is no way to get to "Airplane Mode" or any other menu.

Please help ...

Noticing that the wifi tether problem keeps coming back for my Droid X, I was wondering if anyone has a solution. Today is Nov 17, 2011 and I find solutions as far back as August, but nothing more recent.

I got my Droid RAZR fixed in about 5 minutes using SQLite editing line 150 changeing the "1" to a "0" and now I use the Verizon Hotspot button and tethering works great, although none of the wifi tether apps will work.

Has anyone found a similar fix for the Droid X?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neptun2:
Hello. I have xperia neo for 1 week. It is great phone and great upgrade from my X8 but i see a strange wifi problem. My firmware is latest version - 4.0.A.2.368.

At my home phone connects fine to my wireless network and everything is stable. I do not see any disconnects, reboots or other problems. My router is linksys wrt320N and i connect at wireless N speed - 72Mbps.

When i try to connect to the wireless N network at my office the phone connects fine but i do not have internet access. I have IP assigned by the router, network is shown as connected but i do not have connectivity. I tried with 3 different browsers and with the market and nothing connects. At the same time i can connect with my laptop to the same network and i have internet. My colleagues with other phones also connect and have internet.

I tried setting static IP address on the phone but this did not help. I read that if i set static IP in router's settings assigned to the mac address of the phone this will help. Unfortunately i can not test this because i do not have access to router's settings. Also at my home i did not make such settings and everything is working fine.

Previously i have seen this problem with my X8 and the same work wifi network but it was not always present. It was present with some custom firmwares and not with others.

If you have any ideas or have seen this problem please help.

Having the same device from Globul I never had such problems for the 2 weeks I'm using it. I had some disconnects but i put the blame on my router. :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indycar:
if you can try changing the wifi channels
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazykitaly:
I think I've found the issue (by facing by myself)

The version neo is shippe (2.3.2) has a serious bug on AES encription.

Actually only the upgrade to 2.3.3 (no clue about upcoming 2.3.4) can fix the WPA/AES issue.

So the actual solutions are:

or change your wifi securty to WEP, updathe the phone via OTA

or use the Windows Software and update to 2.3.3.

Please note that if you use the Control Power widget it has been removed in 2.3.3
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quang56:
This was my problem when I had just bought my Arc.My phone couldn't surf the internet with my personal wifi network although I tried to use many browsers and also Android market. Then I reset and reinstalled my router, everything works well ^^
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcummings100:
Ask your office IT staff to do a simple power cycle on the router and try connecting again. That may solve the problem.
[TouchPad Accessories] Thracia:
Hey gang. Like many of you, I picked up a Touchpad during the sale. I'm mulling over accessories, and I'm definitely looking for something to protect that glossy-black back. I figured the logical route would be to throw on a full body cover, but I'm concerned about if it'll affect the inductive charging with the Touchstone.

I doubt it would cause that much interference, but I admittedly don't know very much about them. Does anybody have a full body cover and a Touchstone? Or can anyone confirm that they work together okay?
[TouchPad Accessories] camalus:
On my old pre it didn't effect it much. Was a little picky on the placement at times... but it worked just fine.
[TouchPad Accessories] RojasTKD:
I saw a video review where they places the Touchpad on the charging dock while it was in a case and it started charging fine. So you should be fine.

I got a case on ebay for a little over a great price. I think it a better investment than a full body shield.

See here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/130566283923?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
[TouchPad Accessories] Thracia:
Thanks for the input.

I have thought about picking up a case, but I despise adding extra bulk to tablets. However, I'll probably pick up HP's just because of the built-in stand.

With my iPad, I usually have the smart cover on when I'm out and about, but rely solely on the full-body shield when I'm at home. I'll probably do the same with the TouchPad.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CanesDrew:
You need to know what you're doing before you boot. Re

Reboot while holding down the Volume Down button. Select Recovery from the menus and fully wipe and reinstall your ROM.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PapaSmurf6768:
Quick tip: if a new rom on boot manager causes you not to boot, go to recovery (through hboot) then install a zip. Go to bootmanager-phonerom-flash update.zip. this will take you back to your phone rom.

It seems like everyone is so obsessed with finding these touchpads and I really don't understand why. Yes for $100 or even $150 or $200 they're definitely worth it. But even just looking around this forum and some other sites, it seems like people are becoming so obsessed with getting a touchpad that they're spending a lot of money on them and are failing to realize that its not that good of a product and that its OS is basically abandoned. For a good price I would get one, but would it really be worth more that $250?
[General Topics] vb3:
Agreed.

I don't think its worth more than the current 99/149 prices.
[General Topics] Auridran:
After using one for about a week, I can say it's definitely not worth more than about $250 in its current state (if not less). It'll be worth the same amount as other lower-priced tablets when Android makes its way onto it. Either that, or when the Android emulator becomes functional.

WebOS is actually a really fantastic OS, there's just no apps for it.
[General Topics] hungry81:
There is a marketing lesson to be learnt here somewhere. Unfortuantley HP don't seem to be taking advantage of the hype they have generated.

I would also buy one for the cheaper price (I went to Harvey norman on the sale day but missed out) but agree the prices people are paying for them now are rediculous. ($350-$400 lol) Unless more magically appear at or around the firesale price I will be saving for the next gen tablets.

A lot of people got them because they knew Android would be ported to it sooner or later, making it a pretty decent device.

Other "non-nerd" general consumers got them because it is a cheap tablet that is fairly versatile, and for what you get, the price was amazing.

[General Topics] pflatlyne:
I think the market value of one of these is probably around 200 dollars. Actually,while Im not a fan of WebOS I think HPs situation is their own doing. There is a demand from a top manufacturer for a cheap tablet. What they SHOULD have done was contracted with one of these Taiwanese companies that make the 150-200 dollar tablets and made a smaller cheaper version of their tablet. Sell it close to cost for 150 dollars or so,running Web-OS,and sell their flagship tablet for around 400 dollars,pretty much what it takes to make it. I bet the cheaper ones would have flown off the shelves,creating a demand for WebOS apps,which would have driven demand for the bigger tablet. Instead,they tried to go head to head right at the start with the iPad,and priced their product similarly.

Think of it this way. Hyundai wants into the luxury car market. Should they make a car with similar features as a BMW, sell it for the same price and expect people to flock to it in droves? Of course not. That would be really stupid,especially considering that even if they do it right and make it comparable to the BMW,its going to have flaws because they have never done that before. Instead,what they did was make a comparable luxury car,two actually,the Genesis and the Equus. they are priced at 40K and 60K respectively. Thats around 10 grand at the low end and 20 at the high end lower than comparably equipped cars. They have to compete on price because they cant compete on the other aspects of their product. Some years down the road,if they can get and keep quality up to par,they may end up in the same situation as Honda and Toyota who used to be seen as cheap imported junk,but now are seen as high quality desirable vehicles. However,if they tried to simply change overnight and step in and compete with BMW ,or Toyota (Lexus) or Honda (Acura) they would fail as miserably as HP did.(they may still fail of course)

You have to have a plan on how to make inroads into someone elses markets and build a reputation or no one is going to buy your product,whether you are selling tablets that compete with the iPad or cars that compete with BMW. Samsungs strategy is that they are HUGE. Android tablets seem to be taking off slowly,and they can stay in the game and do things like use their other products to build market share. (For instance,if you buy a samsung TV and a samsung tablet,you can get a nice discount.)

I gave up, eventually the crazy will go down and those tablet will sell on ebay for the right price. For 300 dollars I'll look for a honeycomb android tablet at that point (I think I saw the asus transformer at that price or a bit more)
[General Topics] bholloway:
My argument isn't that the touchpad isn't a good device for $100. If I could get one for $100 or even $150 that would be great. But my comment is that some people miss out on the sales, and for some reason continue to pursue getting one, even if it means paying $250+ to get one from someone else who bought them for cheap. People are getting caught up in having to get a touchpad that they end up wasting lots of money on a subpar device.

When the rush dies, in a couple of months I am sure someone will be able to pick up one on ebay close to firesale price.

WebOS is a nice OS but it's DOA now. IF android Honeycomb or ICS gets ported then it's a good buy. If it's stuck to 2.* version, then no. Phone software on a 10" tablet is plain stupid.

Web os is not dead HP said that it would continue to develop the platform but was giving up on making the hardware. people who pay more than $250 for this out dated device are retarted just buy a nook color and root it you will have the same features and it has great development behind it
[General Topics] narta:

I really have a hard time believing what they say... :rolleyes:
[General Topics] NegativeOne13:
I will agree the whole HP Touchpad deal is getting kind of ridiculous. I admit, I was checking everywhere for one... But I wasn't about to spend double the price of the markdowns. I am actually on mine now, but I paid $149 for it at best buy two days ago. I didn't buy mine to make money, but to put it to use. Now I'm waiting on the clever devs to port Android over. And, I agree give it a month or two, and we'll see the prices back down to where they should be.
[General Topics] Gusar321:
There's that, then there's also that HP didn't even say what NORCALkID claims they did. They said, and I quote:

[General Topics] NORCALkID:
at this point it really doesnt matter what they say.... do you really think WebOs has any legs to stand on? Android is a free platform available to any manufacturer that wants to use it and has half a million device activations a day. Apple has a huge cult following and they are not switching anytime soon. The only company that would prob try to pick this up would be samsung but they just hired Cyanogenmod to work on their development team and prob make Android better or their in house platform better
[General Topics] aFo3262:
I picked mine up not for a possible Android port, but because I like webOS. It's a cleaner, more intuitive OS than Android and had tons of potential. Barring the apps, I far prefer using it compared to any Android build. Internalz and homebrew will keep updating it with content if the Honeycomb port doesn't pan out. Worst case, it's simply a great browser on a IPS screen for $99.

Just to note, HP has already stated that the TouchPad will still have updates to its system, and to webos, and if the app developers keep the apps updated they'll push those updates too, as well as still honoring the warranty. The most I would probably pay for one of these, about $300 only because app selection is not the greatest, but I would still get a tablet that has a fully functional web browser, full adobe flash 10.3 support, full HTML support, a decent homebrew community that always has something new for it, and even at $300 would have better hardware than most other $300 tablets don't have. Even without Android, it would be worth it for me. WebOS isn't a bad OS, and seeing HP is going to focus on software versus hardware now, I'm confident in saying that support will still be present for the TouchPad.
