I've tried them all and the only difference is that with Koush's kernels the built in wifi tether works. Besides that I have not noticed anything different.
I think the built in is just fine these days.
Keeping in mind that i dont overclock, I think the built in kernel is the fastest (34's according to linpack) and most stable whilst KK's BFS #2 is the least stable.
When it comes to battery charge/drain... I have no clue.
I really wish we had more kernel devs. KK is busy with his sammy and no one else is making kernels for us that use the new tech i see in the other forums.

I've searched but everything seems either old or non-existent. What are some of the kernels you all are using and how do you like them? Any you preferred over another? Any you recommend?
I'm currently using Salvagezen .2 CFS noSBC and it seems pretty good as far as battery life. I have previously used Tiamat, but I'm not really sure of the differences between these 2 other than obviously the developer.
FYI I'm using CM7 nightly
heres a link to my current kernel http://mirror.munkibizness.com/?nosbc
i find savagedzen's kernels are the very best there are, and i'd keep using them. if you are having problems, just say so and the team will get you sorted out in no time (yes, they are that good)
I have had a lot of luck with Netarchy's 4.3.2 series. Depending on your hardware, you will have different luck also. They seem to be real stable and have gotten me 17+ hrs. I use the heck out of my phone though.
I've also been using Netarchys kernel, but SBC. Definite improvement, never had a battery overheat.
I might try netarchy. I'm pretty sure I want noSBC just to be on the safe side. As far as the undervolting, havs, etc, I'm not sure what I want. The latest CM7 nightly stock kernel has been giving me greatly battery life lately though, so I might not even need to change.

If you haven't done so, try the one in the signature...
Netarchy toastmod 4.3.2-cfs -nohavs-noSBC-noUV

Just make sure that you don't try Netarchy's kernels while you're still on CM7. Net's kernels are for Sense roms only, and you flash a sense kernel to an AOSP rom, you're definitely not going to have a solid experience. Stick with aosp kernels while on aosp roms.

oh good point! thanks.
Are there any advantages/disadvantages for using a stock kernel vs a custom kernel? Thanks for the responses.
Sent from my Modded Classic Evo... It's easier this way.
Stock kernel usually does'nt clock over 998MHz and you are'nt able to over or undervolt the kernel for better battery life.Also on custom kernels there are more governor options(smartass,etc.).Custom kernels can go up to 1118MHz sometimes higher,depends on the CPU.

I am aware of those differences. Basically, I'm wondering why I see so many people wanting to use a stock kernel (especially the one in the new OTA) and I was wondering why. Like what are the advantages of using the stock kernel over a custom kernel? Is it more stable? Are there any other things I may not be thinking of that would make a stock kernel a better choice? Thx again!
Sent from my Modded Classic Evo... It's easier this way.
I would think stock kernels to be smoother because they are designed for that particular rom/build,when a custom kernel is designed to run on different roms/builds,then when roms are updated or changed,the custom kernel does'nt,unless changed by the developer,hence the lag and FC's.I hope thats the answer you were looking for.
Custom kernels are made universal for several devices and roms. Although they yield benefits over stock, sometimes they can be unstable on certain setups. like mentioned above stock is made specifically for said device bout somewhat limited, though very stable

Thanks clicked for both of you. Reason I ask is because I am running the new radios that were released with the newest OTA and wanted to know what to look for when I finally give the new kernel a try. Has anyone used the new kernel HTC released with the OTA yet? Has anyone a comparison they could share? Thanks.

Thanks for the info.
Hey guys. I'd like to know what kernel you think suits you best. I'm looking for both subjective answers and objective answers. Which of the following suits you best?
Franco kernel
Trinity kernel
Faux kernel
Glados kernel
Stock CM kernel
Other
Please post a comment explaining why you have chosen the way you did. Feel free to discuss any kernel and also share your phenomenal tips and tricks.
glados for:
best compromise (for me)for performance\battery
fully featured like many others kernels but.....most of these features came from glados's dev,and then others dev implement it,love liveOC and is the unique with that feature,the dev is very gentle and available,the kernel can be adjusted via the control app,and IMHO is more good that trinity\franco's app for features,dispositions,colors,style etc.
i tried and used all the kernels and buyed all the dev's control app.my choice is glados,after 2\3 months of usage i don't want to came back.the best for my usage\tastes\preferences.
only 2 things that i miss:
a minimal slot of 190\220 mhz
preset pre-configured like franco's app (powersave,music,high power,etc etc..)
The kernel packaged with CM9 is faux, unless the CM team uses faux as a base and changes something in it..
Franco for me, despite some issues he is devoted to making his kernel perfect and his app is really good too for updating. Makes life a lot easier. With Franco's kernel I can say I have hardly ever had an app FC. I've tried other kernels but I just find with Franco's there is just more consistency and when I look at his thread I know what is going on almost instantly. This is my experience. I also like Fugu kernel and Trinity and GLAdos so on occasion I will try them out.
No Lean Kernel? Probably one of the most popular Kernel's out there
IAP Samurai kernel just rolled on the scene and couple of weeks ago. It's in the Sprint Gnex development section. I recommend giving it a try, Earthbound did some real good kernels in the OG Epic. Community and now he's brought his talents to the Gnex. It is based on Faux, but with IAP twists.

Currently switch between cm9 plus and leankernel. Both have a great balance of performance and battery life
I use the CMplus Kernel from here, he works with no problems under CM9 by me.

I completely agree. Franco/Lean kernel is the way to go. If I had more time throughout the day I'd like to try out the others again, but I don't feel like there's a need. Franco's kernel and app are great!
Alright, pointless gathering of information time! How many of you strictly flash a different kernel after a ROM flash? For example, I'm using liq*id 1.5 which comes with Franco kernel bundled with it. Now, I'm sure a large percentage here may agree, the guys have built a nice stable ROM and know what they are doing, likewise Franco is a dependable dev with a solid kernel.
On paper it sounds like a match made in heaven as they both have plenty of experience and i'm sure the liq*id devs chose it for a reason. However, I always go back to Trinity after about 20 mins. Am I a sucker for placebo effects? Does anyone else religiously go back to a preferred kernel despite the knowledge that most bundled kernels SHOULD/POSSIBLY give the best user experience?
TL;DR do you use a kernel most the time because you BELIEVE it will give you the best experience, or do you give bundled kernels a good run first?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
i dont know.. in my experience custom kernels have usually been better than bundled kernels, with cm being an exemption since the cm kernel is very important to cyanogen. on most the other roms, most of the developers really focus most their attention to the rom. anyways, i will usually run/try all the kernels(need to know what is out there and how it compares to trinity), but always go back to trinity since that where my heart lays, and home is where the heart is
Through some sort of sorcery and probably placebo, I've always noticed best results when I use a kernel that has its own ramdisk.
I'm not much for bundled kernels. I know what kernels work for me and how they work by trying them all out.
Currently, GLaDOS kernel is the one that acts best for me.
Franco Kernel... it's what I'm used to and I haven't had any problems with it so why change? plus.. I bought his app, so I'm dedicated to it.
And no I don't use bundled kernels. Just because the kernel comes with the ROM doesn't mean its optimal for that particular ROM. But it may come with ROM settings that are for that kernel (such as AOKP and "GNParts")

If you want to use AOKP 4.2.1 which is MR1 build 1 I suggest just upgrading the kernel they chose to go with...It wtill has some battery issues but if helped at least 30%
I use CM 10.1 with the CM 10.1 kernel. Best combo for me and my usage pattern
I don't use bundled kernels either!Last 3 months using AK Purity Kernel and it's really solid and does the job perfect!
I've been running CM 10.1 with the Air Kernel. Its been working great for me so far.
i haven't updated my phone in awhile, i'm on minco v7 which uses franco. plan to flash to aokp when milestone 2 comes out. what new kernel works well with it?
All 4.2 kernels should work fine with it.

Then, there is no correct answer to that question. You experiment and find what is best for you. Best is subjective.

Stay on franco kernel
I may advise you to try fugumod, leankernel, faux123, trinity also
Kernels are the easiest things to flash. Best thing to do is try them out for yourself for a day or 3 and then move on to the next one to see if the performance is better.
What works for one person, doesn't necessarily mean it will work for you due to differences in chip-sets, usage patterns,...
