You guys, need to make sure to follow the wiping steps below in Recovery:

- Wipe factory/reset *optional, if you are coming from a different ROM this is mandatory*

- Format /system

- Format /data *optional, only if you are coming from a different ROM this is mandatory*

- Format /cache

- Wipe Dalvik cache

- Format /boot *only if you have been running a different ROM for a while and are having issues

Now, you can flash your new ROM > gapps if needed > kernel > boot > DONE!

NOTE: Always, wipe system if you are changing Kernels!
[Nexus S Android Development] red_skittles:
I can't comment on previous versions of this kernel because I only flashed 3.9 for the fisrt time yesterday and then 3.95 today but on both versions I'm getting random reboots

of interesting note: after restoring from the market, chrome gave me an error along the lines of "missing components necessary for chrome or unsupported version of android." uninstalling and installing again fixed this error but maybe this kernel breaks compatibility with chrome. we'll have to wait and see what others are saying

I did wipe everything and installed the kernel with a fresh rom install. I first wiped date/factory reset from recovery, and then I used this zip which wipes boot, data (and dalvik), system, and cache. I've used this method whenever I flash a new rom and have never had any issues before

edit: my random reboot seem to be gone for the most part. I put my phone through a couple quadrant runs and played temple run for about 20 minutes without issue. but chrome is still giving freeze and reboot. the problem happens everytime a page loads the moment the loading bar disappears

Wifi doesn't work with this kernel!
[Nexus S Android Development] r4du:
I've noticed too that using fast charge on affects USB connectivity
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
This is I think inherent to the fast charge mod, i.e. not being able to connect to the device's storage while in fast charge mode. This is the reason that Chad (the developer of the mod), released a widget that you can purchase in the Play store so you can easily turn the functionality on and off. However, you can also make use of NStools, which is free in the Play store since the updated release already has support for toggling fast start. Hope this helps! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
I have no problems using Air 3.9 and 3.95 HighMem. Although I did notice that just like with the new CM9 v5.0 kernel, video recording is dark, i.e. regardless of lighting conditions, the recorded video will always appear darker then actual ambient lighting. Is this because of the HighBigMem mod? Any developer care to comment on this?

Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] LuvinN1:
I had the same problem. I didn't factory reset. Only wiped dalviche/ cache cache. Solved mine by turning deep idle off and Bln missed calls unticked within the nstools app. If the bln light was on for more than 15 min the phone would not wake up.

With the last kernel 3.9 I just redownloaded the kernel from my computer and just flashed it over the existing 3.9 kernel. Wiped cache and again turned off deep idle and bln. Reboots stopped occurring.

[Nexus S Android Development] vis80k:
cm9 parts removed. that's what i remember seeing in the change log. :)

meaning it will now work properly with video only on roms that support bigmem. cm9 being the first of them.

3.9 included cm9 parts to make it work on any rom...and i suspect the incompatibility between the cm9 parts and the rest of the rom ia causing reboots and fc.
[Nexus S Android Development] r_data:
you used high bigmem version?
[Nexus S Android Development] y3mita:
Think it's best you keep the cm9 libraries in the kernels

[Nexus S Android Development] raducux:
Are deep idle and fast charge supposed to work ? ... im running stock 4.0.4 with your kernel ... but i cant see any difference when turning on fast charge in NStools ....and the deepidle TOP=OFF is constantly 0 . thanks for your attention
[Nexus S Android Development] daniel3ric:
Good idea !
[Nexus S Android Development] xzilem:
You need to turn on fast charge first before plug in usb.

Stock don't have deepidle fix i think. Something to do with bluetooth and camera.
[Nexus S Android Development] ismailham:
No they are not suppose to work on official 4.0.4, you need to be using a rom that supports fast charge and has Deep Idle Patch included.

this kernel includes lots of mods and they will only work if your ROM can use them, like BIGMEM for example.

Lots of good roms that will solve your problem out their.

-Pixel Rom(already patched)

-Codename android ROM(needs patch, you can download from Codename Utility)

-etc

My favor goes in for Pixel 1.72, its perfect :)
[Nexus S Android Development] deetailed:
I was about to post "I have no problem using 3.9 with AOKP b30" but as soon as I started typing my phone got a reboot. :p It's almost 24 hours after I flashed it though, so that's pretty good.
[Nexus S Android Development] xzilem:
If i'm not mistaken, fast charge is kernel related, so i think he can use that.
[Nexus S Android Development] raducux:
My stock supports the bigmem.... i had 395 mb when i tried the bigmem version...but switched to origonal because i was getting some reboots... is there any mod/patch to get deepidle and fast charge on stock ?
[Nexus S Android Development] ismailham:
Maybe your right, im not 100% sure, because some roms write fast usb charge as one of their features. Both deep Idle and Fast Charge are kernel related but I believe they need a patched rom to activate them

Yes you get the 395 MB on a stock rom but it is not stable at all. Thats why you require a BigMem Patched ROM for it to work Flawlessly :)
[Nexus S Android Development] noobiekins:
Wrong, deep idle is activated by nstools or a script and isn't needed to have a ROM to support it. The deep idle patch will enable top=off which means Bluetooth and GPS are off, while on means one of them are on. The patch will turn off the new Bluetooth switching feature that makes it faster to turn on and off, while its still on. Fast charge is a kernel mod, activated by an app
[Nexus S Android Development] syntax_gosong:
I'm using the latest CyberGR-Mod v10 which come with Air Kernel v3.9.5 by default.

So, what is the best CPU Government and IO Scheduler for preserving the battery life?
[Nexus S Android Development] ismailham:
I tried DeepIdle with a non-patched rom, sadly, it doesn't save any battery life, so its not really benificial, You will fully benefit from deep idle when both Top=on and Top=off are achieved ie. using a patched ROM. Top=on is almost like regular idle mode, thats why you don't feel any difference if deep idle is used on a non patched rom. As for fast charge, again i said I wasn't 100% sure :)
[Nexus S Android Development] noemberday:
I'm not sure if it's the kernel or stock 4.0.4, but since i upgraded to 3.9.5 something's been keeping android OS awake, and the battery notification is at a whopping 88%... O_o

when i was using 3.9 it wasn't even double digit
[Nexus S Android Development] motorator:
Deep Idle is kernel-dependent.

Top=On is deep idle with active BT/GPS connection.

Top=Off is deep idle w/o active BT/GPS connection.

Reboot and see if it persists? Sometimes it's just a hung app or service.
[Nexus S Android Development] noemberday:
i have rebooted, but no dice, the battery drain was much faster than my other nexus s with 3.9, battery is draining much too fast on 3.95; so i've reverted back

Anyone can please explain what is the difference between the voodoo colors version and the 65fps+blue colours?
[Nexus S Android Development] raducux:
"Reboot and see if it persists? Sometimes it's just a hung app or service."

Im still getting just top on.... has it nothing to do with my wifi ? I have it set to be allways awake. ... but you mentioned earlier that its only the gps and bluetooth that keeps it from getting top=off..
[Nexus S Android Development] motorator:
That reply was directed at the user who was experiencing high Android OS battery usage. It was not in reference to deep idle.
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
Voodoo colors include the voodoo color (and sound) mod developed by supercurio. This version of Air kernel is useful for owners of sAMOLED variant of Nexus S (i9020 and i9020a).

65fps+blue version can be used for both sAMOLED and sLCD variants (i9023) of Nexus S. It has the Voodoo sound mod but NOT the color mod.

Hope this helps! :)

Just reporting an incident that happened a few minutes ago:

Was just listening to music on my headset when suddenly it stopped playing. When I checked my phone, I couldn't get it to wake up - tried the power button and tried booting into recovery as well but still no response. Had to do a battery pull after which the phone booted normally. Don't know if it's the kernel or ROM's fault, but I haven't had issues with th ROM before so I'm assuming for now that the kernel's the culprit. I'm on 3.9.5 HighMem so I'll try the 3.9.5 BigMem and see if it'll happen again. Cheers!

[Nexus S Android Development] kalitza:
Just a little question:

i'm using this kernel on pixelROm 1.71a, really nice overall but i saw some users saying that they get around 350 mb of free ram (HBigMem), how???!!!??! the maximum i ever achieved was 210mb, killing all processes with adv task killer and stop some services in the setting :S

Could someone tell me the trick??

Thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] ismailham:
I think they meant that they get 392 MB of total Ram, and not free Ram :) Achieving 210 free ram is great. If you remember, Before Big mem we used to struggle to keep Free Ram above 100 Mb :). So your phone is already running Bigmem.

Just to be sure, just add the used and free ram Setting>Manage Apps>Running, and you should get about 390 MB of total Ram :)
[Nexus S Android Development] _yaz_:
my guess is deep idle. try to switch off.

i had the exact same issue while listening music screen-off, didle-on and no other activity.

however, i have another issue with google/play music. sg prevents it from using 100mhz even if 100mhz is available. did anyone experience it ?
[Nexus S Android Development] kalitza:
Thanks. now i got it but i only get over 350mb of total ram - 260mb used + 96mb free ... is there any path i could flash to get the 390 mb?
[Nexus S Android Development] ismailham:
What I did:

1- Full wipe the phone

2- Installed Pixel Rom 1.72+modpack

3-rebooted my phone and waited 5 mins on lockscreen

4-reboot into recovery, and wipe dalvic cache

5-Flashed AirKernel 3.9.5 65 fps+blue High big mem( not original)

6-Reboot my phone

7- Had 392 Ram :D

Hope it works
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
Yes, I have deep idle on.

Wow! I didn't know deep idle can do this. So do you guys think there is something wrong with the way the deep idle patch is used in the kernel or is this an inherent problem with the said mod? Also, is it possible that the ROM is also a factor?

I'm trying to approach the problem methodically: after first experiencing it for the first time, I switched kernels. It happened again so now I switched ROMs. I'll report again later if it happens again.

Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] gotjazz:
Ah for me it's only happening since 3.95. What's your min cpu freq?
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
I set it to 200MHz. Is that a factor?
[Nexus S Android Development] gotjazz:
Not necessarily - just thought you might use 100 - that would explain why you have stability issues with every kernel. Using 400 myself but with the current release the problem seems to be elsewhere
[Nexus S Android Development] _yaz_:
i think it's rather specific to the phone itself. by surveying many threads here and trying lot of combinations of kernels and roms i sadly concluded that my nexus s is extremely sensitive to kernel trickings. any uv/(l)oc just caused me some sort of instability. the same is with didle. it may freeze the phone to the sleep state (no wake-up), may kill the radio signal completely, or just produces random reboots.

as i see, you also have nexus s. maybe it is the reason ;)

Good thing I'm using a Nexus S, since I've been posting in the Nexus S Android Development forums! lol. Just kidding.

Very stable with: 110 % liveoc 400 - 1000

Running 200 - 1200 ondemand cfq,

Bln,bld, touch wake and deep idle on

Very smooth but the colors are not as nice as voodoo with punchy gamma setting, for that you have to use 3.8 kernal (very stable too)

Battery consumption is very low during standby, the battery line is horizontal during the night with radio and wifi on
