I need to know the best kernel i'm currently on netarchy's 4.18 i and I have seen kingkilcks but I flash his #8 cfs but it made my phone lag alot and #7 seem to run battery down, but I can't be positive cuz I didn't run it for more than an hour...basically I wanna know wut's the best kernel for battery life? or opinions at least
Running snaps 7.5 or. 6 don't recall ATM but the battery life is crazy
from the fade
Kings #9 is pretty close to the new stock kernel ...
I'm having the best luck with Netarchy's 4.1.9.1 beta on my 002 EVO. I don't even have to use SetCPU to underclock for more battery that's how nice the kernel is.
I agree with cMeka
I am running Baked Snack 1.7 ROM with Kings BFS#9 kernel and the battery life is awesome.
P.S. Battery life got even better on Kings #9 after uninstalling SetCPU. SetCPU interferes with H/AVS and defeats the purpose.
Good Luck!

okay i will but then how would I over clock the fone, or should i just not set up profiles?
Can someone explain the difference between kernels and roms? Also do you have to wipe in order to flash new kernels the same way you would a new rom?

Kernels basically control the hardware. Roms not so much hardware as software(trying to be real simple for ya). Wipe cache and davlik.

thnx that makes sense
I've got a noob question...... Can you flash just a kernel and just use a stock rom?
I'm rooted and just using clockworkmod, at the moment.

no, it isnt. none of the king kernels are. they are waaaay out of date, and it turns out, kingklick just stole most of the code from other devs. either use netarchy's newest, or ziggy's newest. thats mostly all you have for sense.
Personally, any sense rom can drain battery, but the best i have seen is Baked Battery Kernel. Awesome battery life and it is very fast.

oh not ota 3.70 based. that's probably why it works. any kernel not 15 based usually gets terrible results on 3.70 ota so i guess you found a loophole there . i did hear very good things about that kernel so glad to know it can still be applied to good work.
I am getting good results with ziggy (calkulin rom) and suggesting to try it.

Most of the time i do use Cyanogenmod instead because, everybody knows, it has a wayyyyyy better battery life. Sense needs an app freezer, like titanium backup pro, so that they dont just start up again.

I'm not opposed to using a different rom, I just haven't gotten in to that area yet. Where's a good place to read about "sense" and different types of roms and reasons for using particular ones? Appearance I guess is the main reason? I'm just about ready to dive of this cliff. Thanks!
so, i get a hair up my butt every couple weeks or so and load up a new rom. there are certainly some good ones out there (thanks to all you coders!). but i always wind up going back to stock. between the features of sense and the stability and the non-fc's, it just seems to work best for me.
but, if i could eek a little more performance out of the stock rom, i wouldn't say no to that. so, can anyone recommend a kernel that runs well on the stock rom (no fc's!) and can get me a little more oomph? there seems to be quite a few, and instead of trial and error, i thought someone here might know...
thx!

I am using Inc-Re-Engineered, and so far, I love it. So much faster, completely customizable, and all around kickass.
I would recommend it to anyone.
thx for the suggestion, cleveratticus. not really what i was asking, though...
i have the same question, i dont want to flash a new rom if i can get good kernel that might extend battery life. ive been looking a while and it looks like i might have to finally try the heyitslou kernel
HeyItsLou's #8 never fails me on stock sense/Redemption. Ever.
Awesome battery life, smooth as butter.

Then try his #7... it supports 3-10 multi touch. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859337
what does 3-10 multi touch mean?? also, are any of these able to be overclocked by setcpu?
it means you can use from 3 to 10 fingers simultaneously.
okay, cool. i got lou's #9 installed and running. thx for the tip, tim.ton.

None of Lou's custom kernels are meant to be overclocked, as far as I know.
If you're looking for one that does, try one of Ziggy's.

I personally like Chad's incredikernals. Great battery and oc'd to 1113
The most stable kernel and best on battery that I have used is the virtuous custom kernel (v3). It has worked great with several roms I have used.
Im running chads 12/23 kernel for sense and it gives me great battery life (which for me is 16-20 hours) and im running magnolia 1.1.1 rom

+1 ...his kernels rock with sense and battery life!!!
Lou's #9 has given best battery life for me on virtuous, redemptive, and warm 2.2 roms. Quadrants scores are also on par if not better with it
not to take anything away from lou or his work, but that kernel wound up not working well for me; lots of hangs and fc's. went back to the stock kernel today and everything is *****en! thx to all for your input.
I need a ROM that fulfills the following reqs:
Stable: Must be stable as this is for a non techie so... yeah
Fast: Better performance then the original ROM
Good battery life: This is a MUST
Clean: No crapware preinstalled
And preferably gingerbread although if froyo is better...
Thanks guys
For the best battery life and speed it will need to be froyo since devs don't have GB source to work with. I always like the Bonsai froyo ROMs. Google Bonsai android for their site. I am currently using Hurricane 1.6 Gingerbread Rom but you have to do some tricks to make it stable and keep it from rebooting randomly.

Exactly what i'm looking for also. Bump.
Yeah... That wont work.I need something that wont crash if you give it 8 espresso shots and wait a few hours.
So i need something stable.
Stick with froyo if you want the best chance at stability. Syndicate rom frozen 1.2 has always been old trusty for me and a lot of others. Be sure to flash a kernel immediately after the rom, as it does not include one. Urban regeneration is another good choice. You almost can't go wrong with any of the great froyo roms at this point. As kenny said, there are ways to make gb roms run fairly stable, but it takes a lot of effort.

You just read my mind. I was about to ask about syndicate ROM

Look into twilight and genocide kernel. There are a few others that will work well with it, I prefered genocide when I was running srf 1.2.

acs 1.2 and genocide 2.0
This pair works pretty well, phone feels snappier and nothing strange occuring after about a week or two of solid use - battery is maybe a bit better but I'm charging whenever I can.

While there are always more obscure others you might want to find... if you're looking for the best, you can start with the most popular. Check out the top threads on the development forum and see what people are saying.

Well, since he didn't want to shill his own rom.. i'll sing it's praises.. randomrom phoenix 2.2 is awesome. super snappy, no freezes or crashing and does above average on battery life.
Simply AOSP 4.01 is also super fast, and very slimmed down. There are a decent number of options for Froyo roms that you should be happy with..
SRF 1.2 is my "trusty old axe" too... I like Twilight Zone kernel. Isn't there a fix out for the SU Binary issue with Genocide 2.0? I haven't tried it yet.
You can't go wrong with anything by Computerkid23 or Random, either...

Hey just bought this phone for my wife. I do a lot of flashing on my phone(evo3d) and just wanted to get some opinions on the best rom for this phone. Also there appears to be many ways to root this phone as well. Couple things I'm looking for in a rom is the best battery life and easy to use. And which rooting method works best. Thanks so much everyone.

my vote goes to viper rom. a ice cream sandwich rom is soon approaching
The stock ROM. It's pretty much perfect as is, aside from the bloatware which can be removed once rooted.
Starburst is best
Sent from my SPH-D710
With the los issues I'd say keep stock, unless you like to hear your wife complain. With stock you can't be complained to. If it was for you, I'd recommend something else. Keep stock on your wife's phone until a fix for los rolls out.
Edit: Don't even root until the los fix, unless you're wife is into the modding process. Or have app data you need to transfer over.

try getting your feet wet with one of Strong Steve's ODEX ROM's to get the benefit of aftermarket but still being ODEX. Personally i am running Calk's ROM but you are in the same boat as the rest of us, too many good ROM's, not enough time.

Either stock with removed bloat or one of strongsteves odexed roms. They are fast. I am a believer in odexed roms. Always have been and this is the first phone that someone develops odex for.

My two cents, stay stock deodexed with bloat removed. And stock kernel, my phone never dies. And it is still crazy fast.
But if you want custom, definitely get ready to use ICS. Hopefully that will be here shortly.

Caulkin's ROM.
My battery is better, the performance is about the same, but my GPS is MUCH MUCH MUCH improved! So much that I can't say enough about it. I also seem to be getting better radio performance with 1.5a from anything else I've used. I work in a large building, and the oh-so important bathroom time is enhanced because I'm getting better connectivity... Our bathrooms could double as tornado shelters... Seriously! My Moment wouldn't even connect, and my Epic I would choke as well. This ROM makes reading articles on the internet or tapatalk actually doable.
I'm currently still using starburst, I'm thinking about going back to stock with the recent release from squishy.
I have been running absolutely amazingly doing this:
Stock EG 31 Tar
Automated Root
Calkulin E4GT 1.5a
CM6 was great for me until I bought a new phone, have you not tried?
Syndicated Ice Hands down.. ill put it against all your favorites in free memory, responsiveness, speed, battery and Function.
I dont like the theme so i got casino universal on it
both great roms.
viper rom and midnight are my first choice.... until ics! havent had a los yet using the clockwork repacked stock kernel!
Calkulin's #1 crazy speed and stable. Syndicated rom is very nice and smooth.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Calk's ROM for stability and battery life.
Calkulin's ROM, for sure.
I'll have to give the nod to Calkulin's ROM for sure... Tried Starburst and ICE and like Calk's the best...
I just wanted something smooth, fast and most importantly reliable... I also wanted longer battery life! That's exactly what I got with this ROM.
Calkulin's 1.5a rom. As others said, it's snappy, stable and provides excellent battery life
Soo. I've been flashing ROM's for a while now, well I've gone through a Sanyo zip, a kyocera milano, a ghetto ass "Sawee Pad" that i cant do crap woth really, then i got my incredible and ive gone from cm7 v13 to cm9 Kangs, to Peter Alfonso's Pete_Inc_03_10_12, to few others. The thing is, I really like ICS, but everything I've flashed in some way or another was unstable and I dreaded installing apps or anything else for that matter. So I've been back to cm7 v13 for about a month now.. what's the best overall most stable ICS ROM out there for the incredible? I don't care about fancy schmancy customizations. I want something basic and very stable (or just super awesome thats stable) I would love to hear your opinions, pros/cons. I will be researching most of the night I'm sure. I use my Ding for a lot of things, gaming/movies/music/inet surfing.. just wanna flash a new ROM and wanting your opinions. Thanks

I am on cm9 unofficial. Its highly stable, at least for me and fast too. Am running stock kernel.
Hope it helps you.

If you keep the stock kernel, they are almost all stable. The different kernels will cause some phone to freeze when plugging and unplugging.
It's hard to keep it all straight but I believe you need a 3rd party video app to record video ( video cam illusions) in most ics roms. Build 38 and 39 of AOKP do not work on the dinc, both cm9's and the new abduction are really smooth. Just flash and enjoy, that's my motto.
Ah so that's why it didn't work. CM 7.2 is much, much quicker though.

Well after a few hours of reading, imma try and flash in-sensative minimalist sometime today. I know its not ICS, but it'll do. Imma keep reading and see what I come across, maybe ill try a different version of cm9 and see if I can find something more stable than what I had.

I've been using Hanger's Abduction for months now. Installed the latest last night and each release gets better. Everything seems to work for me (I don't use the video camera so I can't talk about that). Previous versions there was some hanging when unplugging from charger, and a few random quick reboots. So far so good on latest but it has only been 7 hours...

For all out stability without any misfeatures, CM7 w/ stock kernel. If an alternate kernel is stable for you, then great.
That said, invisiblek's ICS builds are getting there, but there's still some weirdness here and there.
I've heard that the latest evervolv ICS alpha is really nice, and they've got the video camera working -- I haven't tried it myself though. Videocam Illusions just records in MJPEG -- you've got to be desperate for ICS + videocam to want to use that.
Throwing my vote in for pures anthem ROM. Buttery smooth, fast, and stable. Oh, and pretty. only issue I have is that sometimes 3g disappears, and a restart is required to fix it.

I would love to be on ICS ROM as well...but I have some misgivings about it. Even if some ICS ROMs may be stable, from what I see, they are still slower and grab more battery then our GB ROMs. That's a deal breaker right there. I don't understand why people want ICS soooo badly on their Dinc if its gonna be like that. Stable is great...but its gonna hog more battery
I'm on the latest RC of CM7.2 with Chad/Tiny Incredikernel and couldn't be happier. Stable, Fast, and battery efficient.....
I have an extended battery and get the same or better. Dinc accessories are getting cheap on amazon. I can get about 18 he with 3hr + of screen on.

I agree with previous posts about ICS roms having poor battery life. From what I've tried, they do not have anywhere near as many features as cm7. If it is not possible for cm9 to run efficiently on the dinc I hope development on cm7 continues into the future. I run the latest cm7 nightly with incredikernal, v6 supercharger, kickass kernalizer, adrenaline shot and 3g turbocharger scripts. I also updated the radio to the new one in the general section. My phone has never performed better

Battery life is subjective and different people may have different capacity batteries at different points in their lifespan and different usage levels. I for one think it's decent, maybe not as good as cm7 but probably better than the galaxy nexus.
Oh and not to mention different screen types, AMOLED can drain faster than SLCD.
Which ICS rom is the most stable and has the most features working?
The CM9 nightly, well at least I believe so.

That's what I was leaning towards, thanks. I also am interested in the Touchwiz 5.1.2 rom and ParanoidAndroid, though the latter seems to not be ready yet (phone errors and fc'ing).
It's a little overwhelming coming in as a noob. I'm wanting to put some life back into my dinc.
Would the latest CM9 nightly be the best start? Anything I should know about? Is flashing a new kernel worth it, or should I stick with stock? So far I followed a guide here to get root, but I'm still S-On for now until I decide which rom to go with..then I plan on downgrading to get S-Off, flashing a rom, and updating my radio.

first thing first, get S-Off in your DInc .
idk the best start to try a rom, but maybe u can try an aosp GB which is CM7 or miui.
but if ur very interested in ICS UI then CM9 all the way. there is a lot of CM9 mod such as invisiblek's, abduction, kang's, and others, and there is also a combine cm9 + miui such as miui v4 ics.
its up to you which one u will pick, or ur gonna try them all (like me lol) just remember to make a nandroid backup.
happy flashing rom's

by the way, I was S-ON for a while, flashed an ICS rom, and had to go through ****s to get S-OFF.

Couple things. Text input lags a bit. Anything to speed that up? Performance is pretty good overall but I feel like it could be better. Battery life seems to be on par with stock (buying an extended soon cause I'm still on the original battery). I also seem to be running a bit warmer than stock. Will a new kernel help?
