So just rooted my Dinc and trying out some roms. The most important thing for me is battery life and then stability. I wanted to know some if your ROM/kernel combos that have given the longest battery life. Thanks.
Each phone n processor are different in stability so basically youre better off finding out for yourself...personally been using redemptive rom with ziggys kernel and love it.

I've had my best life with Virtuous (been with it since early 2.0) and I've used King's BFS kernels. Now I'm running Ziggy's BFS and lasting even longer.
And to what the guy above me said, each phone is different in the sense that only some can overclock to 1.19 while others can't (I for example can't). Other than that, each phone is pretty much the same.
It seems like the stock Cyanogen ROM and kernel has better battery life than Virtuous with King's BFS #5. I just don't see how King's BFS #5 is that good.
I'm going to try the stock Virtuous kernel later in a somewhat controlled environment to see if there's a major battery difference.

I'm currently running Fresh Rom (newest) with the stock kernel that it comes with. My battery life is not near as good as it was before I rooted.
Question is.....I'm running setCPU currently and have been thinking about flashing to Netarchy to see if my battery life increases. Does anyone have experience with this combination's battery life compared to running stock with setCPU? I'm not sure setCPU will work with the Netarchy kernel or not. Also, is Netarchy compatible with wireless tether and 4G?
Thanks.
I run stock with SetCPU and love it.
if the kernal you are using uses HAVS, SetCPU will be no good for you.
goodandevo.com has some nice tips for saving some juice also...
20-tips-to-improve-htc-evo-4g-battery-life
that's pretty much all i can help you with... sorry.
I had no luck with batt life on Fresh 3.3...I ran all of Kingz kernels and then NA's...no luck. If you want good batt life I suggest a new rom...Myn
Good to know...I had TwoPointTwo on with Kings #11 not long ago but took off because I like the interface on Fresh a lot more. Something tells me Sprint TV app was disabled on this by default as well.
Are you running Myns currently? Which kernel did you like the best with it for battery life?
@SpaceMonky.....
I believe the kernel that comes with Fresh does not use HAVS...so SetCPU should be working fine.
Also, I have done all the things listed on goodandevo.net as well as numerous other "tricks". Only one I have not tried is the Colin hack made for Evo by Myn. Still up in the air on whether this actually makes a difference.
ok well im running the stock rom and JT_Rom beta 2.0 and im testing out other
ROMs such as calkulins evio 2 and others.
but is kingxkernel bfs 4? the best?
i need something really good. overclock?
i want to have the best battery life.
how can i do this?
yes
i would likke to know the sam ething
I am running CM6 and would like to use the best battery saving kernel!!
I am having great results with King's #11 CFS
Really good battery life? I'm just starting to use kings CFS #9.

King's #11 CFS has been running fantastic for me. I am using the Azarel v2.3 ROM with it. Strangely enough, the first time I loaded Kings with Azarel, the phone was super laggy. I gave it a reboot or two and now it rocks. I have never had good battery life, even with stock 3.29 or other ROMs and kernels. I could make it throughout the day with moderate use and have about 15% left. I have been unplugged today for six hours and have 80% left with slightly less than moderate use... Slow day.
I'm also on radio 2.15.00.09.01 and PRI 1.34 on a HW rev. 003 EVO. The 1.77 PRI dropped my signal strength here in Ocala, FL.
Of course, make sure you wipe your cache/dalvik before you flash the new kernel.
Hope this helps!
Yeah,i did so. How long til the battery life shows progress. This is the first kernel I'm testing. Kings cfs#9. How can I calibrate the battery ? I wiped the battery stats to make it better to .

Perf Test
Since battery life seems to be the biggest gripe, It would be nice to have some type of non-biased performance test / graphs for some of the ROMS and kernels.
The Common misconceptions and other useful information... post at the top of this sub-forum has great information, including manners to calibrate your battery.
The problem with testing ROMs and kernels is that everyone's phone is slightly different. Some can't over/underclock to the same degree as others' phones. Sometimes a particular kernel will cause your EVO to force close applications or have other strange problems such as rebooting.
If you search the forums, you will see that there was one person in particular that did a graph of performance testing with various ROMs and kernels.
My advice would be, if you are confident enough, to go ahead and test each of the "leading" ROMs and kernels and see which one works best for you. You can also refer to the Wiki which has ROM/kernel information available.
I wanna know how if it works best for you. I wouldn't know what to test.

Flash ROM.Flash kernel. Use a few days. Note battery life. Repeat.
Those are definitely the best steps. Personally the new 3.3 ROMs kernel is supposed to be awesome for battery. I like the Azarel and myn ROMs and have had good luck with Kings #11 and netarchy's kernels. Your mileage WILL vary which is why you should do your own testing.

hey guys. i'm trying to find the kernel review thread with no luck.
I switched roms (i'm on MetroPCS so using the latest MetroDroid rom) and Im finding the kernel slow. I use setcpu profiles and I notice a slight delay in response that wasn't there before.
I also benchmarked using Quadrant and setcpu set to performance at 1190/1190 and got 1083! much lower than any score i've had in the past.
what's the newest and greatest sense kernel for improved speed and performance? I have the seidio battery and always near a charger, so i'm looking for snappy performance over squeezing 15 minutes more out of the battery.
thanks!
P.S. this is a Sense-rom but 90% de-Sensed. I just prefer the look and feel of Sense after I modify my way over others.
Ziggy's (ziggy471.com) always run faster than Netarchy's for me, but you're going to have to try a few for yourself as every phone reacts differently to diff kernels.
Netarchy's Kernels & Ziggy's Kernels
nets out with his 4.3.4 and has hdmwin built in also has the kernel guide in there.

I'm getting bored with AOSP roms, and I want to switch to Sense, but I need good battery life. Which kernel should I use? I've tried Incredikernel previously on sense and it doesnt give good battery life, so what should I get/what should I do to get good battery life. I can't have my phone die when I'm at work.
If battery life is your main concern then stick with aosp. But, for sense kernels, Lou's #8 worked well for me. Haven't tried ziggy's personally but some people seem to have good luck with them.

Add my vote for Lous#8, I tried a few and have settled on this one, been using it for a couple weeks now and its been stable and I love the built in power profiles. No need to mess with setCPU any longer.
Lou's #8 +1 Also Chad's 12/23 kernel worked great, and its good if you want to overclock. But I got best performance and battery with Lou's
FWIW, Lou's didn't work well for me - probably something about my setup. Chad's has been the one I always go back to.
I am currently on CM7 and am wondering what is the best kernel for battery life. I am torn between ziggy 3.18 and 4.10, but I am open to suggestions.
I always have used Ziggy's kernels on Froyo Sense roms. But as for CM7, I prefer Chad's Incredikernel or Invisiblek's kernels. They are both good on battery life and performance!
Yeah, I went to incredikernel. I was on 4/10 ziggy and my phone ate it like 3 times in 5 min. It kept rebooting.
