Best kernel for latest fresh?

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?

I ran that same combo for a while and IMO the battery did what it does best: SUUUUUUUUCK%$#^& ! .......that been said it's been like that pretty much all the time, if you really use the phone that is, not complaining at all, just saying. That's why I always carry a spare one. There are way too many variables and setup preferences that might differ from one user to the next and if you overclock the thing uses even more juice. Really love the 3.3 Rom but the lack of 3G deal in my case forced me to reflash in a different direction........Good Luck !

What do you mean by lack of 3G ?

Exactly that......no 3G, very very poor signal if any, I thought it was just me but after reviewing the ongoing 3.3 thread I found out that some people are experiencing this issue too, very small % though. In my case I was with T-Mobile for quite a while, fantastic service but poor signal-coverage at my business location so I switched to Verizon which really rocks signal-coverage-wise until now......sooooo......I really love the ROM and really hope for a feasible fix to get back to it.

it has to be a downed tower or old prl the rom/kernel dont control the phone calls so id say to check with vzw and run the appropriate updates, hope it gets fixed for ya

I'm using KK BFS #5 and the latest SkyRaider and I've got no such issues. No 3G troubles, no battery suckage, no weird stability issues...
Seems all ok for me. I'm happy with the combination. Sedio 1750 battery, BTW.
I do have SetCPU installed, interactive governor, and a profile to lower the clock speed to 612MHz when the screen is off. When awake, the phone is overclocked one notch to 1036MHz.

Not too sure where you heard this from. Could you post a link? I've used nothing but KingXKernel's on various Sense-based ROM's, and I've used SetCPU to tweak each and every one of them.

I've been running KK#5-BFS on SR 3.3, and my battery life (stock battery) has been pretty fantastic. Of course, that's completely relative, and I'm not a super heavy user, but with all other variables being constant, my battery life has definitely improved since going with this combo. You just have to be intelligent with your SetCPU settings, profiles, and phone settings.

I initially had the same 3G issues with SR 3.3, but ihtfp69 has since fixed these problems with 3.3.1, and my 3G has been flawless ever since.

I use king kernel BFS #5 with setcpu and i get some pretty amazing battery life

I am running the same combo with ROM and kernal minus the SetCpu and forget to charge my phone overnight. So for over 24hrs I was at 29% battery life. This is the best combo I've experienced so far for great battery life. Make sure you do a full system wipe, once you Flash the ROM..

does anyone find that charge times have increased after installing king's kernel 5? It may be just my imagination but I wanted to see if anyone has seen the same

Battery Kernel

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.
DInc/XDA App

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.

[Q] Fuel Effecient VS High Powered

Well we all know that some ROM/Kernel/Radio( R.K.R. for the rest of this post )setups have benefits and draw backs, usually pertaining to battery life versus function. I've yet to find one that is the best on both. I know of some arrangements that are balanced, but never full blast on both. What I would like to start discussing here are different RKR arrangements that have created either a high speed environment and those RKR setups that extend the battery life significantly. Being both a traveling person and a nerdy techi enthusiast , it'd be nice to know what I should use in my phone to allow me to listen to music / movies/ simple games the longest for 8 hour flights and what I can do to really enjoy my 3D gaming without any lag for when I don't care about my battery life.

I have good luck with the following:
ROM: CM7.0.0
Kernel: SavagedZen 0.0.1 BFS
Radio: 11.19
Also, I'm OC'd to 1.152 GHz and am using viperboy's undervolt mod at -100mV.
For me, this results in great performance and very good battery life (at least for the last day or two, during which I've made it a point to stress it and see how it runs).

3) As far as OC'ing, CM7 has that built in under the CyanogenMod Settings menu, no need for SetCPU.
4) Undervolt Mod: I was one of what seemed like very few people that got the -100 undervolt to work.. if it is not stable, try some of the others viperboy has posted.

On a side note of this make sure whatever kernel you choose uses havs. A large group of people seem to be doing just fine with -50 voltage script. Radio can make a difference also. I'm currently using and have had the best luck with the 4.08 radio.
These are just my opinions, there what works for me. However not two phones are alike. In the end I'm sure you'll find your perfect setup.

So what does undervolting do? I am assuming it reduces power consumption yet at the same time you are over clocking. It seems like two factors that'd defeat eachother. However, again, it's why I started this thread is to learn more techniques than I already know.

I am fairly sure the downloads are gone saddly. Any chance you still have the downloads for the SV? And from your experience what's the difference between Tiamat and SV?

Yes, it does reduce power consumption. I'm pretty sure the reason that it works to OC is that all the undervolt script does is change the max draw of the CPU at any given frequency. So even though I'm running at a faster clock speed, the new max voltage draw at that speed may be lower than my previous max for stock clock speed.

Yeah, I kinda figured that might be the case, but I wasn't going to rule out the POS computer I use for work. As far as why I run SZ instead of Tiamat is that the one time I tried Tiamat, I could not get my SD card to mount to my computer, despite the fact that it had been mounted just five minutes prior in order to put the Tiamat zip on for installation... After that, I gave up on Tiamat and don't bother trying it anymore.
Also, I have attached the zip of SZ for your flashing pleasure.

Which undervolt level(s) did you try? Please keep in mind that like I said, most people haven't been able to get very far with -100 or -75mv, so I am a bit of a rarity in that regard.
If none of the undervolt mods work for you, I'd advise posting in the thread and seeing if viperboy has any ideas; he's been very supportive if people have issues.

Well none of the other downloads work *cries*
Are there any other "Undervolting" kernels or mods that you know of? I know Hydra is supposed to but their site doesn't work, it seems to have fallen off the map. Ideas?

Some kernels are undervolted as part of their design. invisiblek is one of them, and I know a lot of people run it. You might give that a shot.
Also, if you mean that viperboy's links are down, it might be nice to message him or post and let him know that if he does not already.

New to Evo 4g From Epic 4g- Battery Life Stinks - WHy is Epic 4g so differenT?

I've been reading around the forums in different threads and Man there is a lot to catch up on since I've always been an Epic 4g owner and not an Evo 4g owner. I've found a few threads about battery life and so far have installed 4 roms to test briefly battery life and none are giving me the same as my epic or close to it which was 0-2% drop an hour when Idle.(Sitting on my desk on 3g or wifi) Gone through cm7, Miui(Currently on) and 2 of the new sense 3.0-3.5 roms (Energy and nocturnal)
Kernel currently Tiamat 3.3.7 and I've tried the latest one 4.0.1 or something.
So far i've found the Vipermod kernel undervolt tweak, V6supercharger Option 7 (used before), 3g turbo charge script, and also applying gps fix from Miui thread.
Any suggestions on other tweaks I should flash ? Is myns tweak out dated or needed from this thread? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/tweaks-for-superb-battery-life-in-evo/
I always freeze DRM but with the epic I found other processes starting with SNS to freeze, are these not on the Evo4g? or are they called something different? Also I don't see a System Update process that I used to see on the Epic and would freeze.
Calibrated method I use is charging to 100 percent and just using the Battery Calibrate app in the market. Its the first one that comes up when you search.
Any rom suggestions that I should flash to get better battery life? I need to use my phone for pleasure and work so everything needs to work except 4g and video recoding 720p. I need everything else operational.
Also any suggestions on other battery saving techniques would be greatly appreciated. I've got plenty experience with the Epic 4g but the evo 4g is so old school i feel like this device loves to eat battery way more than the epic when being used and when not being used.
FYI i have a moderate to heavy user.
EDIT: for those who could gain from this post, I'm going to be following Carhaulers recommended settings. Hopefully i get better battery life and everything runs smooth.

Battery is pretty sweet also. Still calibrating, drained it completely today and am charging right now to full with it powered off. Only time will tell.
I've had the phone off the charger for roughly 20 hours with no use for 50 percent of the time and the other 50 percent I was playing pandora, browsing xda/engadget, and playing 30-minutes to an hour of games. Not bad so far. Its better than it was before. Now this goes to saying i am uving like a mofo and underclocking.

The Epic's up to Gingerbread now, as of early November (finally). Froyo ROMs did get excellent battery life... I did like Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo, paired with a Netarchy SBC kernel... An incredible combination. I can still match that on Gingerbread, but Warm was awesome.
