which kernel is best?

Glad you got it up and running

So I figured a follow up was in need here....

I returned my Nexus for a replacement - brand new - within my 30 days. I was having 8 hour battery life, barely any signal, and horrible (if not impossible) wifi connection to anything. Anyhow...I have a new Nexus S and it is a completely different device. I have had it running 14 hours on stock kernel with 400 min off screen set on SETCPU and have 37% left. This is what I would expect. All other results I've placed on this thread have been from what I would call, a LEMON. My wifi now connects everywhere I want it to, I have better signal everywhere, and overall the device is a better, smoother experience. I will try these kernels after I get the battery adjusted. I hope to have the same experience KSmith does. If anyone else is having severe battery, connection, or anything problems...take your phone back. I've read online I'm not the first. Don't let the 30 days slip by you.

Have you flashed this yet?? If so, what has your experience been?

I've FINALLY flashed it now. Flashed BFS (not sure what is different from CFS). Can't say anything about the battery life yet, but quadrant scores jumped significantly. Stock rom+stock kernel+setcpu@ondemand= 1,4xx...CM7 nightly+stock kernel+setcpu@ondemand=1,8xx...CM7 nightly+netarchy+setcpu@smartass=2,4xx...

I know that quadrant scores aren't always really indicative of battery life, but I'm stoked at the huge jump. Will see tomorrow how it fares.

i'm not too impressed with battery life so far. within a span of 5 minutes of sleep, my battery percentage has dropped 2%. while web browsing, battery drops fast and heats up...must be something wrong with my set up, as stock rom + stock kernel i was getting good battery life. right now i'm on CM Nightly #7+Netarchy stable 1.3.4 BFS+setcpu smartass @1000max/100min, so no overclock. anyone have any suggestions?

should i try CFS?

edit: oops, i meant stable 1.3.0, not 1.3.4

uhh quadrant scores mean nothing to battery life. bfs is better for benchmarks cfs is better for battery (short answer)

as for your battery issues i lose about just under 2% an hour if i dont touch the phone

great! i'll flash CFS then and see how it goes. i really could care less about the extra benchmark, this phone is already solid stock. thanks

update: Flashed cfs. HUGE improvement so far. After 30 min of standby, it's only dropped 1%...also, my benchmark score with cfs is 2,3xx only 100 points less than with bfs, no big deal. I have read that someone on xda forums suggested to set governor to ondemand instead of smartass for more efficiency, I might mess around with that later on, but battery life seems pretty solid with this set up.
