Hey Guys -

I am currently running the Vicious Jelly Bean v3 with the stock kernel. I was using Franco's #210 kernel but battery life was terrible and I dont need to overclock as I am only texting, browsing and dual core 1.2ghz is plenty fast.

What kernels are you guys using on your JB roms?

Thanks!

How is the battery life on that? I think at this point, battery life is my # 1 priority without affecting the smoothness of JB.

For that, i'd recommend the 1344 version. The overclocked ones (1536 - 1689) suck down battery power and are a bit unstable.

For me, 1344 is the perfect balance.

The kernel post is post 4 in my guide. Check the info box for trinity. It's either the first or second link.
 
Brand New to Android Central and to android hacking, was just wondering is Vicious Jelly Bean v3 stable enough to use as a daily driver?

I have been using Vicious V2 since it came out with no issues.

Is version 14 okay, or is 13 more stable? Don't remember where, but I thought I saw something about problems with 14. Maybe I'm wrong, though, can't remember.

If you go nuts with 14...ie get the 1689 one...it's unstable. I'm on the 1344 one and it's awesome.
 
Alright, gonna give Trinity a try, because running Jelly Belly 1.6 (then 1.8), my battery's been draining pretty quickly, especially compared to when I was on AOKP. Hoping changing kernels fixes that. Also, is there any way to get rid of the Trinity boot screen? Didn't really want a different boot screen. :/

Yes. On your computer, unpack the rom's zip; find bootanimation.zip. Put that on your phone (like downloads or something). Move that to data/local. That'll override the trinity boot ani.

I switched to trinity after reading this thread and gotta say the battery life has been improved a lot over the stock kernel.

I thought it was /system/data. I didn't care for the Trinity boot animation either and went back to stock. I searched for the instructions (because I can't remember when I do it so infrequently) and it worked for me. Is there more than one way to skin a cat?

Yes. Putting stuff in /data/local will override anything within system/media (and other folders as well). Sorta like with Jelly Belly, there's an eri.xml file in /data (go check with Root Explorer). That's how you get your Verizon Wireless at the bottom. If you delete that, it reverts to the normal one which is contained within the framework.apk.

That just the glowing multicolored X boot animation? I kinda miss the original GNex boot animation, but I don't hate the glowing X.

Nah the Nexus 7 one has a bunch of X's doing crazy things, not the glowing colored X.

What's so bad about the jb14 kernel? I'm on the 1344 one and it's pretty stable so far.

Oh no JB14 is fine at that level. If you get the higher one--1689, notably, it's all sorts of unstable ATM.

I'm on the same one you are on. I believe there will be an update tonight as well, so fingers crossed!
