Kernal for HTC Hero w/undervolt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722073
AFAIK, most of the kernals we already have available undervolt the CPU.
okay, sorry im a noob to the EVO, as of yet i dont own one, i have a very good undestanding how ever thing works with my hero. So like the latest Fresh Rom for the EVO, has undervolt?

Fresh Rom is a ROM, not a kernel. The kernel that comes with Fresh Rom by default is the stock HTC kernel which has no undervolting. You have to flash an alternate kernel after you flash the ROM which will allow undervolting.
There are a few kernels from which to choose from available here.

There are several threads in her in the dev section here with various kernels for the hero. I use Damage Control 3.2.3 ROM and therefore use a kernel from the developers there. However there is another thread (not ROM related per-se) that goes deeper into the different kernels that are available and being worked on. If you prefer another ROM search those threads... Since the release of the complete source code recently several dev's are tweaking the kernels to integrate with their ROM's.
Seek and yee shall find... (If you go to the DamageControl link, Look for info on post #2. You will have to scroll a bit because it's a beast as is the size of the thread.
I think Baked Snack ROM does the most undervolting. He said he has undervolted it so low with stability.
That ROM does wonders to your battery... let me just say that.

lol sorry but just asking what is baconbits?
Ha, its a kernel that is used in android development. Made by cyanogenmod. Its used for overclocking your processor and other small improvements
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 with Virtuous Sense.
I'm actually quite confused about BaconBits too. It looks like it has:
LED notifications
overclocking kernal
ro.secure=0
superuser
busybox
Correct me if I am wrong, but these are all available on CM6.1.0 I think that BB .3 was an appetizer before the nightly/RC's started coming out. In other words, if you are running CM6.1.0 then there is no need for BB?

Yep 10 char.
after installing this it cant read my simcard and when its done rebooting all i can see is alot of for closes?!?!?!?!
BaconBits is a kernel designed for installing over the stock ROM. It was, I think, really just a stopgap until the full CyanogenMod came out.
As has been said, if you're running CM then you don't need BaconBits.
thanks yeaa
well, personally i do use baconbits if i dont want to use the full CM rom, which is actually quite nice
Am coming from Droid Eris and was rooted so I know the ropes a little. Question is does Z4 Root work still? If i use the 1.3apk will it root right? If not whats the best next easiest way? Also....once rooted do I use Rom Manager from the market to get "Recovery."
Was trying to find most fastest and easiest way to get root and recovery aka SU right? lol thnx guys
Someone didn't take the time to search for his own answer..
There is a search button around here and I recommend that you use it.
I did I see unrevoked V3 and Z4Root both have its problems. Was just trying to get a straight forward answer. Thats all....
No problems with unrevoked 3. It roots and s-off's. Just read directions literally takes 5 minutes.

Thnx bro just read up on it and how to load drivers and all for unrevoked. The ROMs that are available for the incredible do they come with whatever updated Kernel the devs bakes into them? Or its up to me to choose one? Also can you recommended a good ROM? Fast Stable and awesome battery life. I don't like the look of GB. But maybe ill like it on this phone compared to my Droid Eris Rooted running GB. Just the look of it turns me off
With sense based roms I've had good luck with re-engineered 2.3.2 and Chad's incredikernel. Im not sure about baked kernels being up to date which is the reason I flash a kernel after any rom flash. As far as stable fast and good battery I have since left sense roms which I stripped of sense anyway and went to cm7 with invisiblek kernel and have yet to look back.

Ima try your current setup. Where do I find the Kernel your using? Dumb question does the theme chooser in Protekk ROM have a purple theme?
NVM I found the thread lol How you like the kernel? Fast nd nice battery life?
The way I setup my phone any kernel would be equally as fast, but battery is better on invisiblekk. Make sure you download fast charge kernel. Never have any issues with anything with my setup. There are alot of options in cyan settings make sure you go through them.

Hey. I'm coming over from an eris when I get my inc on tuesday. I was browsing these threads and saw your question. I believe that it provides the ability to charge your phone faster then normal. Haven't had a chance to read up on how it does so yet. It is listed as included in some kernels such as here:

Thats what I'm talking about. Doing your OWN research before you get your phone. I love it. I'm doing the same thing as you because my dinc should be here either tomorrow or the next day. Thanks for the links to these threads though
I tried the latest Savaged-Zen froyo kernel and the speed is excellent but I get random horizontal lines on the screen. Especially on anything that loads or refreshes like the notification bar or facebook loading icon.
Never really flashed a custom ROM or anything, the only thing I did was install Rom Manager and added a recovery. I just want to be able to boost up the speed safely and I read kernels are the best way.
That's called screen tearing, so you should change. I recommend the savaged-zen froyo kernel, or since you're on sense, the net-archy kernels have good reviews.
And you flash a kernel just like a rom > wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the kernel.
I used to have screen tearing all the time but on tiamat I got none.

I already tried the Savaged-zen and i tried a few of their older froyo builds. I just realized that since I never flashed any custom ROMS my phone is still sense based and these kernals are AOSP based, is that the reason?

Absolutely, I was just about to inform you of that. Those kernels are only for AOSP roms. If you stay on sense, you need to try a Sense kernel. I have great luck with Netarchy's or Ziggy's kernels. Good luck

Cool, that makes sense. Netarchy's seems to pop up a lot in my research so I'll give it a go. And thanks for the comment, haha.
*Update: so far so good, I'm seeing much better frame rate but not as good as I was experiencing with Savaged-Zen. I never really used a benchmark to get actual numbers I'm mostly going by eye. I'm actually considering trying out various ROM's just to be able to use Savaged-Zen. What I love about Android is that I can easily customize the scrub way through apps, trying out custom Roms, themes or if I'm feeling brave I can go in and edit anything myself by replacing files. The community is great so new things are always coming out and I'm never bored with my phone.
Hey guys and the NEWBIE (me) is back...
1. How do i get the SBC kernal??? I heard its a great kernal for extended battery life
2.How do i install it? I currently have CM7 installed as a rom
Thanks
Go search the Android Development section for AOSP kernels and find one that supports SBC. I think Savaged-Zen kernels and Tiamat kernels are the best and have sbc choices.
kernel manager in the market, its the easiest way

Bump +1 for kernel manager. Make sure you spell kernel correctly, else you may not find it. Free version works fine as a newbie user.
Thanks everyone
In general:
1) Dowload kernel to the root of your phone and boot into recovery
2) Wipe davlik
3) Wipe cache
4) Install kernel from the root of your phone and reboot
Go to "About Phone" to check the kernel
OR, download Kernel Manager.

jsantos, what the guys said above is a great start... not to fear-monger or anything, but do you know exactly what the kernel is, and the various types of kernels that are out there? I'm not one to discourage the use of any particular type of kernel/ROM, but before diving headfirst into it without really knowing the ups/downs of it, it'd behoove you to make sure you know what you're getting into. That being said, I dug up some links that should help you out.
Here is a link regarding SBC kernels that you probably should check out, as it pertains to potential major issues with them:

Finally, here is a link to a page written by skydeaner, containing testing and benchmark information on many many different kernels for the EVO (including SBC and non-SBC variants), which may help you determine which kernel is actually best for your needs:

noob kernel knowledge here.
is there a way to run test on different kernels to see which is more efficient or has an improvement? i'm about to flash ManU 2.0
For battery efficinecy - just the long run test.
Other way you can try test like - RL Benchmark, Quadrant, Antutu, Neocore, SD Speed Test etc.

Hi.
I think you wanted to say "any other custom kernel for desire". If this is true take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328 at the 3rd post. There you have kernels for AOSP ROMS and Sense ROMS.
