Alright, so I'm coming from cm 6 and I was using snap with it. But what I'm wondering, is what is the best kernel for fresh.
Thanks.

I'm running King's latest...#8 I think. Getting 53fps, 1250 Quadrant score with stock 998mhz speed. Seems good so far.
If you want great battery and dont care about the fps cap, stick with the latest stock kernel thats built right into fresh.
best kernel for lastest fresh?
I am using the kernal that came with the rom and it seems to work just fine. i thought the claims on battery life might be over rated but can say that with moderate use i got 37 hours from 100% to 15%. Might try kings again but not sure if that would hurt that battery life.

I promise you that the claims of improved battery life for the new HTC kernel are not overstated at all. In fact... there are no words to describe how much of an improvement it actually is. The theory follows that the other kernels will be re-optimized based on the new HTC kernel.
As above, stock gets the best battery life. If you need the OC/FPS/etc you can try King's #8 (I had stability issues, personally) or #6 (worked like a charm). Currently I'm using the netarchy 4.1.9.1 beta. Battery life could be better IMO, but feels really snappy. LP looks too good @ >50 FPS for me to stick with stock.

I have been running Fresh 3.2 with the built in kernel, but I've also been using SetCPU with a very low performance, battery friendly profile.
My question is whether I should be using SetCPU at all anymore, since I heard that this new kernel already supports throttling the CPU back when not in demand. I've been excited to test out how it effects my battery myself, but if someone has the answer, it would save me a week.

Even if the stock kernel does scale down the voltage to the CPU, I think you would still need setCPU if you want to OC. However, the stock kernel probably does not support OCing. However, I think setCPU could still be beneficial for keeping the CPU running at minimum when the phone is in sleep mode. Then again, that feature could also be incorporated into the new HTC kernel for all we know.
Like someone else mentioned, Kings BFS #8 gave me stability issues, but #6 works fantastic in terms of performance and stability; not to mention, everything works on my phone as it should. I got 2 generic batteries and a charger from eBay for dirt cheap, so battery life if of little concern to me.
Is there a kernel for fresh 3.2 with cifs support?

So, there you have it. Aside from stability, my main concern is conserving battery life. In fact, I'd sacrifice the 30FPS unlock to conserve 3+ hours of battery life if need be.
Which is better for stability and battery life in your opinion.
Also, please post what ROM you are currently using.
Thanks!
PS - Let me know if you'd like a new poll option added. (Nevermind, apparently can't tweak that now.)

Haven't tried ffolkes yet I can say I got 22 hours out of fresh 26 with underclock while screens off
I have used DC, Baked Snack, and fresh. I think fresh is the most stable of the three. DC with JIT enabled causes reboots at times, but they are rare. DC with JIT disabled is pretty stable. Baked Snack sometimes gave me odd problems, but it is pretty fast.
I think I had best battery life with DC, about 35 hours. My brother reportedly used his phone for two days straight playing games without having to charge it. He uses DC with DCConfig set to Battery Saver. This was with an undervolted kernel without using overclock. Had to switch from undervolted at a later point because it caused HUGE amounts of stability issues. (Ffolkes' kernel)
Fresh with autostarts is pretty good with battery life. I haven't tried the latest version. Using a perflock disabled kernel and setCPU works wonders for fresh and battery life.
Baked Snack was an odd one. My battery life was inconsistent. All I can say with that one.
My thoughts on the three ROM's that Jykinturah mentioned are the same. Using DC 3.2.3 with ffolkes using set cpu, I charge my phone about as often as my girlfriend who has a blackberrry: every 2 days.
ffolkes' Higher Frame Rate Kernel
is this the 5.2 ?

in the ffolkes thread there is a link to an app called EvoSwitch. It allows you to change a value called T2 (it has something to do with frequency I guess) which for some people (including me, with an 002 bought on evo release day) actually allows the fps to change.

Thanks,man! I will try this over the weekend. I had tried some of ffolkes kerenels previously with no success. This might do the trick.
so which kernel is supposed to have the best batterly life?
I just put on fresh toast. I get a good 49fps
So far so good. to early to tell about battery life tho
Thats what im looking for
I'm using kings kernel #5 and i currently have its over clocked to 720 (and of course profiles clocked under that) I was wondering would i have significantly shorter battery life if i clocked it up to the highest (1.119) and set it to conservative

You'll most likely freeze up and crash at the highest clock speed, that's what happens to most of us. But that really depends on your hardware... You MAY be able to sustain that, but there's really no guarantees.
What I do (and I have pretty good battery life, it's 9:36 pm here and I just now dipped under 20%) is let the kernel do it's own thing and only set up a screen off profile that maxes out at 460.
But yeah, higher clock = more battery drain.
I cannot get over 1.113, reboots constantly over that. I get amazing battery life and performance with what I am running below.
Sent from HTC Incredible, Redemption 2.0.4, King's BFS #5 kernel OC to 1.113, s-off, Launcher Pro Plus
Oh I can run it sustained i have my charging profile of 1.119 and interactive. Its 11:15 and my battery just dropped under 50% (i like bragging) But i figure it i put it to conservative it probably wont ever need to really run at max will it? Im not 100% sure on how everything works just yet
The word of the King
When King released #5, he was specific in saying that if using SetCPU w/ #5, only use it to overclock, as the composition of the kernel handles battery life.
That doesn't mean you can't, obviously, but I'm just conveying what I read when it was released.

King's notes and his d/l site go into uber-geek detail on the differences - take a look. Short version (to my understanding and probably way oversimplified) is they do different things - battery preservation or speed or a blend of the two.
That said, the kernel you should use depends on the ROM and what's important to you [speed/battery/both] - certain kernels won't/don't/shouldn't work w/ certain ROMs.Take a read thru the development section, and read thru the 2 threads for King's kernels. He's got 5? (or more) kernels out in the wild. Between those two threads, you'll see where one set is for AOSP ROMs only, the other for Sense and/or vanilla, whatever.
I've made the error of bootlooping myself by putting the inappropriate kernel into a Sense ROM - fortunately I did no permanent harm - actually it was good learning. Why? Now I look for, and use, kernels specific to the type of ROM I'm using.
They aren't one-size fits all - don't make the mistake I did - read up on what's there and you'll see what I mean.
Kind regards.
Yea I learned that not all roms work... I have virtuous 3.0.1 and want performance but mainly battery life can you suggest a kernel for me?

Lee - best suggestion I can offer is for you to read up on the kernels available and choose the one that works with the ROM you are running, that gives you what you want.
The reading/learning will do as much for you as a super-speedy or battery-sipping kernel.
Good luck.
I've been reading but just can't find any real information

The Kernels King post are defined by whether they can be used in Sense or Vanilla. His AOSP/CM are for Vanilla Roms only, and will more than likely cause bootloops if applied to a Sense Rom. The HAVS kernels are for Sense only. I change out between 2 and 5 and can't decide which is better. I also never run above 1.15 or I get constant reboots. 1.15 still reboots, but not as often.
I just rooted my DInc today and I heard about a kernel that ups the battery life. Is there such a thing, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance
Most kernels try to improve battery life. Are you running a sense rom or aosp rom?
If you're talking about Savage kernel, be careful... that thing uses an SBC (super battery charging) mod that can potentially harm your device in the long run. I personally am using VirusROM 1.5.1 with its stock kernel and have seen better battery life than SBC, but that's just me.

With this kernel my battery quite literally does not go down when it's sleeping (screen off), unless I'm in an area with bad reception. Screen on is also somewhat better than stock - it's hard to improve screen on at all, since that uses the CPU pretty aggressively. However, it does use improved scaling to always try and minimize the CPU load while keeping performance up. All that + HAVS (Hybrid Adaptive Voltage Scaling, which lowers the amount of power the CPU is drawing) = win battery life

The superior battery charging kernals will not harm your device, but instead may shorten the life of your battery over time. But at 15 dollars a battery, some believe it to a negligible side effect. Its all personal preference, really.

If you're sticking with the stock ROM then search for a Sense based kernel, then read the OP and associated reviews in the comments following to learn how to install it, current features (what works and what doesn't) and any other possible info you'd need.
If you're planning on installing a different ROM, those already have kernels baked in, so give that a shot first and then try other kernels if you feel the need.

I've had EXCELLENT results with the kernel from Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5 (NOT 5.2)
I forgot which one it was though... D: I think it was the ziggy 12/19...?
Kernels for Battery
I use the Newest Ziggy Kernel (BFS) with SetCPU set at conservative.
=Great Battery life !!
This kernel also enables other options like SmartASS and Performance, but conservative is a winner for battery life.
Hey all, I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for a kernel that is good for battery life. I am running the stable release of CM7 and I have the OEM extended battery (came with the phone when I bought it) and I currently can get about 1.5 days of moderate use (wifi turned on whenever available, frequent twitter/facebook/foursquare updates, heavy texting/emailing and moderate web browsing) but I am always open to new options for improved battery life.
The kernel I have now is underclocked by about half and I find that helps a lot (if I remember correctly, it is the stock kernel).
Best kernel in my opinion for AOSP is Tiamat: http://tiamat-aosp.com
I am somewhat new to the non-stock rom/kernel game but have the latest version of incredikernel with CM7 stable and really like the combo so far
The stock CM7 kernel had lower wifi performance for me with Incredikernel it is back where it should be

Agreed. Incredikernel FTW.
Flash the lower voltages to get even better battery life. If your phone can take them without rebooting often then you'll get a significant increase in battery life while maintaining the same CPU power.
2.6.37.6-incredikernel is working phenomenally for me
Incredikernel is the best I've found on any aosp rom. Awesome battery life.

Curious, is there a guide or instructions on how to flash the lower voltages. I've checked out Chad's thread and it confuses me.
Incredikernel FTW
I went with Incredikernel. So far so good, it's been off the charger for about 13-14 hours now and it's at 82% battery. Wifi and GPS both turned on with a decent amount of texting/email checking and a little web browsing. It is underclocked about half way with SetCPU and still very snappy and responsive. Definitely happier with my phone than ever before.
Incredikernel is what my friend uses and he loves it.
Also wanted to add I have heard good things about Tiamat as well, another one you couldnt go wrong with.
Right. So a friend of my friend made me root his phone a while back and I threw mikg 2.52 on it and all was good. Now the guy contacted me today and said his battery life was in the crapper and wants me to change it to something more battery life favored since he isn't by a charger for a long time throughout the day. And since I have been using the new ics roms and jumping back and forth often I don't really know what to give him now.
So what's your opinions? I need something stable as a rock and best battery possible. I need this to last him a while since I almost never see this guy... Haha
P.s. I know people hate these kind of post. Just bear with me here because I'm meeting this guy tomorrow morning and have to know what I should flash for him. Also no aosp please.

You could have him try the one in your sig. It gave me great battery life when I used it, but as always, YMMV. You really have to try them out and see which gives the best battery life for you.
Also could try apps like Juice Defender or similar that aim to optimize battery life.
The only rom i can think of that ive used that doesnt drain your battery would be cm7 or decks gb. Ive used it myself & ive seen good battery life even with my cpu overclocked.
Does it work on viper rom? V2 redline? Thanks! Please let me know
I have the latest MIUI by Swiper, and since 2.2.6, my battery life has been phenomenal with Tiamat kernel 4.1.0, Car-O-Dope tweaks and Vipermod -50.
Phenomenal as in comes off the charger at 6AM and when I get home from work at 5, it's still over 80%

I can confirm this.. ALthough I use 2.3.2 b1 and 3.3.7 sbc kernel as I had some reboot issues with 4.1.0 but yeah.. I'm still at 100 percent at 11:00 am (work at 8).. come home and still at 90. go to bed and hit the charger right above 80. It's unreal.. I consider myself a heavy user too... email,sms,phone calls... etc.
I am currently using Swiper's 2.3.2 b1 with 3.3.7 sbc and have not run into any issues. Battery life is great with this combination for me. Also, keep in mind that I do not run many widgets except an calendar agenda widget.
Myn's Warm series rom's always gave me the best battery life.
i use energy sense 3.5 rom with anthrax kernel. iv had decent battery life w it. about 14 hours or so w moderate use and in and out of roam looking for signal. from what iv read CM7 and MIUI roms are much better with battery life than sense roms. they also seem to be more customizable.

He did mention no AOSP (although AOSP really does have the best battery life IMHO)
Koni's Elite Series III combined with netarchy-toastmod HAVS-less had decent battery life, only issue is that was a Froyo build.
kluster1999: I agree, pic would be awesome.
I don't mean to sound rude, but different ROM and kernel combinations can only make so much of a difference. I'm skeptical of claims of amazing battery life with heavy usage because in the end, the battery is still the same size and the large screen still draws a lot of power.
Been having great Battery life with "The Exress" using" Lionfish more" kernnal and smurfed out....
