I'm not sure what was different, but I liked nyan kernal too. I just couldn't overclock with it. Used voltage control to OC because NSTools caused my phone to re-bootloop past 1.2ghz. Nyan is so high powered with all those features, that it just lags like crazy if you aren't overclocking to 1400ghz.

I went back to stock kernel and things were kind of smoother @1200 conservative overclock, but had minor lag after a days worth of usage.

I'm not a developer, so I don't know what's the differences in the overclock feq and code between all the kernels I've tried. But If all things are equal, kernel wise, then maybe it was just something I was doing wrong. Still I'm just glad I found a kernel that works for my setup/phone.

I appreciate all of you guy's work, to make epic the best phone it can be... (nearly two years later, it's the phone I always wanted it to be lolz). Thanks in large part to you guys. Keep it up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
Something I found interesting. I was running voltage control for setting my 1.2 and for sio and smartassv2 as I always do. It ran great for a bit, but then i started to see weird lag in temple run and even in the UI. I played with it for a bit then uninstall and rebooted. I setup with nstools this time and now its running flawless again. Strange...

[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Even in marcusant's thread it says DON'T use Voltage Control. Haha. But I doubt it was that it was you unistalled it because it got rid of the cache.

I used that I/0 and Governor Combo without issue regardless
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Try uninstalling voltage control and using the built in performance settings that most roms have.
[Epic 4G Android Development] apeh2000:
I see that the built in Performance Settings part of AOKP allows you to pick over clock frequency and governor. But, how do you specific an I/O method without having to use NStools or Voltage Control? I want to be on SIO.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
You cant just use NST tools
[Epic 4G Android Development] greenmuggy:
I use the performance settings too, whatever i/o setting is stock for cm9 + ondemand is perfect great battery life & speed when u need it. I'm oc'd to 1.3 no glitches anywhere :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
I don't understand the comments about using voltage control. In the OP of this thread there is a big Graphic that says, "Voltage Control Certified".

Is the OP incorrect?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
It works fine with VC. Just VC is buggy as a whole.
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
I can attest to that. Every once in a while, VC will invariably and without a reboot, drop my saved profile settings and revert to cfq/conservative; doesn't matter which ROM/kernel combo I'm using.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:
What is our best alternative, in your opinion, nstools, or something else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] s89281b:
setcpu works good for me
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
old and and isn't that great anymore no offense i'd suggest either Voltage or NSTools
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Actually it's been updated .. Plus it has option to adjust frequency based on what app is being loaded. Example you can set it to scale to 1.2 when you load temple run..

But it's a little quirky on the galaxy series
[Epic 4G Android Development] s89281b:
no offence taken. but it still gets updated(may 28) so i wouldnt say its old. there are free ones that work just as well but i still like the ui of setcpu. just my prefrence. i havnt had any problems out of nstools either but voltage control has had a couple issues on my phone. plenty of options. try them all and see which works for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Setcpu was just updated 2 days ago... not old anymore... whether or not he polished the code I do not know, but I do know it works very well for me and always has...
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
IDK but for whatever reason probably because i formatted the system and flashed alot of things but my battery was horrid i mean down @ 45% and only 6 Hours on battery.

[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
No, but i will do one more test today on 100% 1800 mAh Anker and tell you then but as of two charges its still lower than stock kernel. I love voodoo color but you know whats funny,

After you get used to stock its okay but then once you re apply voodoo color, and right settings it looks amazing lol.

Remind me to never use NSTools with this + CM9.........horrible battery life
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Duh... im almost positive that Bbelos didnt include the necessary code for his kernel to function properly with NStools. He has the Voltage control certification picture in the OP for a reason. Although i find that voltage control is buggy on ICS, at least for the epic. It doesnt have issues on the Gnex, but thats apples and oranges.

Yea i wasnt until yesterday lol....wanted to give it a try but had horrible results
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Gotta say this kernel is too iffy for me, Battery life is weird. This kernel has a mind of its own. This time I managed to get better battery life about 45 mins of GPS and 1.5Hrs of Netflix and 3.75 Hrs of Screen on down to about 10%ish. So I'm waiting maybe for either a release that can be steady haha. Haven't tried samurai in while not sure the whole OTG thing I just want a kernel haha.

Not sure if this is kernel related, but all weekend I was using CM8 beta 4-pre3 with Shadow v.0.6.3.3 without issue. Today, without rebooting, it's not allowing lockscreen weather to update on 3G or WiFi using geolocaiton. I can type in a location under settings and it loads the weather just fine. I rebooted and it's still can't using geolocation...

I can report, happily, that all weekend, when it was working, that my battery life has been outstanding and I'm noticing that it's sub par now that I'm having this issue, probably because it's trying to find the location and keeps trying (kinda like how it constantly searches for signal when you have none).
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I actually don't use geolocation for my lockscreen weather, but I will try it. I do still see lockscreen updates in gerrit, so they could still be ironing out the bugs upstream. See how things function in future beta4-pre builds.

I have a question for people on aokp b37

When I go to usb tether in the settings, it force closes and voodoosound doesn't let me go past 0db even though I set the limit to +5...anyone know why?
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
I will add that since switching to CM9 and this kernel, Voltage Control keeps my settings. When on Marcusant v3 and Shadow (v.05?) it would change as soon as I would turn off the screen.

Last I remember reading, the call audio issue is ROM related; I have only encountered it while on CM7 or CM9. Apro and Uber both have acknowledged it and they've also said they're working to switch back to the victory audio drivers, as the aries (sp?) one's are no bueno. Not sure if they've been open sourced by Samsung yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
Same here. Only had the audio issue on CM7 and it's worse on CM9.

[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
I just got chewed out for posting on the CM9 forum because I'm running Shadow. I brought up the audio quality issue that is related to CM7 and CM9 and they're trying to tell me it's a kernel issue. First and foremost, this device is a PHONE so phone issues should have been addressed early on in CM7, IMHO. Callers hear themselves delayed and loud. This started happening as soon as I flashed CM7 and has been independent of any ROM that I have used.

Shadow gave me back 3G so I don't lose GPS while driving through areas without 4G. The stock CM9 ROM caused me to lose GPS as well as reboot while driving if the GPS were on. So, from now on, I will post here with CM9 issues and thank the Devs for Shadow!

[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
There is an 'CM9 Alpha2 Coming Soon' update posted on the CM9 Update site.........addresses the audio issue + other details, really good status update, recommended reading..........doesn't fix your audio issue in the short-term, but at least you know it's not voodoo related (as we all know, voodoo sound is not on board w/ current ShadowKernel_CM9.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
did a search and didn't find any answers... does it matter what modem you're using when using this kernel with CM9 Alpha 1? I'm on EL30 and didn't see anything about modem compatibility.

EL30 is perfect (w/ CM9 + ShadowKernel), and the usual mileage may vary as per each individual device.............personally, w/ EL30 have gotten data in what was previously a 'dead zone'...........but other users, different response altogether based on various factors.

nyan or Shadow?

i meant which kernel is better

nyan v 5 or shadow v 6
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Just remember that people in this thread are more likely to be using (and therefore supporting) this kernel, while people in the nyan thread are more likely to be using that kernel (some of us go back and forth, but not all) - the results of this question are inherently more likely to have majority support for the kernel posted in the thread in which you ask... so keep that in mind as you compare results from both threads to try to determine the more objective survey results...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Both are great kernels. Shadow is a little more simplistic with just the usual tweaks while Nyan has a ton of other things ported from other phones and old tweaks from back in the day for the epic. You can't go wrong with either but if I had to say which is best... id say shadow. Try both for two days and see your results with each.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jiffy1080:
Agreed. 2 days is a minimum to see how your battery and real world performance equates to what you want.
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
^^THIS!!

I couldn't agree more, I've always found that running any ROM/kernel combo, you need to try it for a little bit. I've also made a quick notice, that CM9 (and maybe vanilla ICS in general) reads the battery voltage more accurately. Maybe some of the devs have already noticed this, but I can say that back in the early days (stock Froyo/GB) the battery would stay between 100 - 90% for a long while and then steady drop to 50% and then after 50% would just fall off steeply. Lately, I've noticed that, yeah, I don't hang out in the 90% range for as long, but overall it's a much more steady decline and I'm still pulling over 20hrs with 2hrs screen on time and running several syncs, etc. Granted I'm in a WiFi area most of the day (and YMMV) but the only time I have battery drainage issues are when I have no cell signal.

Now, to answer the question of which is better... I don't know. It's tough because marcusant is very good at what he does, but his kernel (Nyan) builds on what bbelos (Shadow) started. Not saying that makes it worse, just different. Nyan is more featured, but I found my phone runs better on Shadow. This also may have to do with my preference for Voltage Control (Shadow) over NSTools (Nyan), but if anything, I would like to think marcusant made Nyan for AOKP and bbelos made Shadow for CM9. I know they're interchangeable to a certain degree, but that just my 2 cents.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
^^^^^ AGREE ^^^^^

Not to mention that every phone is a little different .... some work better with Shadow , some with Samurai , some with Nyan .... give 'em all a try and see what works best on YOUR phone
