[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyuubi10:
Hehe thanks, you actually pointed out a flaw in one of my questions, which I'll have to correct the OP to better reflect my needs.

Question 1 should probably be, what are the most common or best known kernels for the M8.

And on another note, I'd just like to repeat and emphasise (something which I'll edit the OP as well to make clearer), this honestly needs to be N00b proof, I'm not joking haha I'm good at understanding ROMs and OSs (I'm an IT student btw), but I'm a complete newbie at Kernels.

Your second answer is something I already have done, and what they described there, was pure jargon to me. A list of what the kernel does, but there is no explanations for what each element on the list is.

And about reading the kernel talk threads, I did some research on Kernels and how to choose the best one for me, but none of them explained fully, more like just looked at the major points (over/underclock, touch to wake support etc...) which honestly i can just as easily get from a ROM.

But there's so much more I do not understand yet, which I would appreciate if you, or someone else explained in a simple not too technical way.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one with such a question.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you got those feature from a ROM, its only because the ROM included a custom kernel. You can't have those things without changing the kernel.

To me, custom kernels are a very personal thing. What you get (or don't get) out of them depends a lot on how you use your phone. Therefore, I think that is the reason why most kernel threads won't have much description on the exact benefits. I know lots of folks swear by custom kernels and the features they offer. But personally, I've never been much a kernel flasher or tweaker. Reason being, the times I have messed with kernels, they don't seem to give me much benefit in terms of performance (battery and/or responsiveness) and sometimes even hurt those aspects. But again, YMMV and I think it depends a lot on your setup and how you as an individual use your phone.

On that same note, I think it makes a thread like this difficult to construct; or any opinion given possibly not relevant to all. Like ROMs, its not that hard to look at the threads and discern which are most popular (if that is your goal, popular doesn't always mean best). Then pick a few that look good (seem to meet your needs or wants), try them out, and see what works best for you.

I know that sounds like a cop out; but its what I honestly believe.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyuubi10:
[MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION]

I see what you mean, but I am already limiting things only to the M8. So there shouldn't be that many Kernels go talk about.

Having a look through the forums it's no so well organised as to give a clear view of how each kernel compare to each other.

(note: Not to decide which one is best, but to clearly display differences, which could make it easier to see which one is better for the person)

If I was to make a guide on M8 Kernels I'd try to find what is common among them, what you can 100% expect from all Kernels.

Then I'd start naming the Kernels and displaying the different features (and how they are meant to benefit or how they work, because so far I have only found names/initials, which make it hard for a noob to understand what those features are from just a name).

So yeah, that is what I had in mind.

But its hard from purely reading the individual kernel threads, mostly coz I'm a noob at kernels (which is why I created this thread, to understand better kernels)

I had no idea about i/o schedulers... I just did some research, but the worst part is that there are some kernels which just make the names a joke, making it hard to find out what that scheduler really does. And the OP doesn't explain either.

Same is true for CPU governors. But now I'm just ranting.

It seems as there are not many people who know kernels as well as they think they do. :(

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyuubi10:
I went in as you advised, but it still doesn't cover what I wanted to know, I had to search each specific feature on its own, as I tweaked it.

There are a lot of guides to individual features, no comprehensive guide (with links) for kernels.

I hv decided, I'm gonna play around a bit on my new kernel (ended up going for ElementalX), and then I'll do a kernel guide. Nothing like using a kernel to understand it better right?

Hi All, just wanted to start this thread to add my feedback for CM12 11th May 2015 build.

I flashed the ROM using TWRP after a complete wipe. Before this ROM, I was on CyanogenMod 11, 20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-d802

Download Google Apps from here. Version CM 12 (20141212)

So far, I have an amazing experience with this ROM

Everything works as it should (Wi-Fi, calls, messaging, camera etc etc.).

Battery life seems to have improved. There was an issue in the previous ROM. Google Play Services use to keep a wakelock for one of its processes. This was resulting in immense battery drain.

This ROM seems to be lighter than CM11

The interface is smooth as butter, no lags nothing.

CM11 also use to give me random call drops (loads of them), CM12, no issues.

Hope this helps : )

[G2 General] svarma241:
Found one issue.. Not sure if its ROM specific. I use open WiFi when in travelling to work via tube. I always use to be able to connect to the WiFi and sign in to the network. Now I can connect but can't sign in to the network. Cm12s 'sign in to network' is very different than the one on CM11. In CM11, I will need to click on 'Sign in to network' notification and it will take me to the default browser for signing in. In CM12, it doesn't take me to the browser, rather I get a dedicated 'sign in to network' window (see attachment) and it never signs in.

This not a big issue but I thought I will point it out : )

You have to install Live messenger, it contains the Live search too. It is not officialy released by Microsoft for all WM5 phones, so you have to search for Live Messenger for mobile. I cannot give you a link.

Please note that since build 29.09.15 F2FS and another features of the chrono kernel installer no longer supproted by a ROM one.

To enable them you need to install a standalone version of chrono kernel.

Just install kernel linked below. Note that only R4.2.4 and higher supports OmniROM.

Download

OmniROM

PA GAPPS

PA GAPPS - Pico or nano package is recommended

Rooting

Since Omni ROM doesn't itself include root, you should install it manually.

Installation

Attention! Builds #20 and #21 (08.03.2016) requires data wipe because of SQLite update. Please back up and wipe data if you are coming from older builds to the one of these ones or higher.

Before installation, make sure that you have enough free space on partition /system. AT LEAST 515 Mb is required for build #22 if installing WITHOUT any Gapps. If you don't enough space, follow repartition manual. (at your own responsibility for any kind of possible damage. Be sure to measure twice and cut once!).

install ROM first

install gapps

install root

install chrono kernel (r4.2.4 or up, latest is recommended)

Experiencing problems with apps optimization on every device boot?
