I have rooted my phone with unrevoked and have played with multiple roms to find what I like. Right now I am using warm twopointtwo Rom with kings #11 BFS kernel.
But when I run the quadrant test all my numbers suck.. like 900-1050.. people with the same are reporting a lot higher numbers.
A friend of mine has the my touch phone.. its rooted but with the stock Rom and kernel and he scored a 1700.
So what's the deal?? What am I doing wrong?

Can you give more info? Like are you over clocking at all....set cpu perhaps? If so....what do you have it set to.....processor speeds make a difference ....

Have you tried a CFS kernel?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Not using set cpu.. only running whatever the kernel is setup for. And yes I have tried multiple kernels including kings cfs kernels.. I just don't know what I'm doing differently

never trust the first quadrant score, always run it 2-3 more times and use the highest as your "bragging quadrant score"
do you have lots of widgets/apps installed? or is this with a fresh install?
do you get higher score with a different kernel?
It's important to note that you are running a Sense ROM, and though I'm not certain, I would assume that this would give you lower quadrant scores (Sense is resource-heavy). Your friend's MyTouch also has different hardware than your Evo.
Unless you're noticing unresponsiveness, quadrants mean nothing. Don't let them get you down, haha. If you're worried about it, back up your apps, make sure everything is synced with Google, do a full wipe, and reinstall your ROM.

Hey, little new to this stuff. I've tried a few different kernels,
kings 11, ziggy and netarchy I can't tell which one is best. I have rls5 currently.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
only you will know what kernel is best for your phone, try each one for a day or 2, make sure everything works, if all work well them choose the one with better battery life,
all kernels react different on each phone, we can tell you what works for us but it might not be what works for you
Hey I really appreciate the reply. It seems like the netarchy was really messing with my video. Had lines on my screen. Also been using set CPU to overclock is there anything you would recommend?

Sorry guys if this is a bumped thread.. Couldn't find one that helped me at all.
Alright, I would like to know, What is a kernal. Ive flashed almost every rom possible but i havn't done anything with kernals.
Thanks

I've heard it stated as "a bridge between hardware and software." They control your processor speed for certain circumstances (screen off) and what voltage your processor gets at certain speeds. It can also come with different things like audio boost and enhanced multitouch capabilities (3+ finger input). Just remember to flash a sense kernel if you're on a sense or senseless ROM, or an aosp kernel for an aosp ROM. I always wipe dalvik cache and cache partition before installing a kernel, just to make sure theres going to be no problems.

So what your saying is , different kernals do different things twords performance ? And what is cm 7 rc2?

Correct, there are some overclocked kernels and some that are stock speeds, plus all of the different tweaks that can be applied. And CM7 RC2 is a ROM. CyanogenMod (ROM name) 7 (version) RC2 (release candidate). Its a pretty popular ROM.

Lmao no man, im running cm7, love it to death. What is CM7, aosp ? I know its senseless.
So not to jack your thread but its highly related to the question I've been asking today. I understand the description of a kernel above but then what would be the main differences between the kernel and the Rom of a device? Are kernels simply used to modify aspects of the phone such as processor speeds or do they also have something to do with the UI?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I dont think they have any effect on the UI
So besides just processor speed,what else could a different kernel affect?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
CM7 is AOSP.
Kernels don't affect the UI, they control processor speed mainly, but they can also come with patches that boost audio levels and enable fast charging or trickle-charge (SBC [when you charge your phone normally, it gets to 100% then stops charging regardless of being plugged in and runs off of the battery power til about 90% ish resulting in the infamous dropping 10% battery in like 5 minutes scenario. This mod enables the phone to drop its charging current once it hits 100% instead of turning off completely, maintaining the battery at 100%.]). Pretty nifty stuff

I'm not exactly sure about the BEST, cause different things happen to people when using the same kernel, but I've been using chads incredikernel from 3/18/11. No problems with it so far.

I heard that kernel had smartsss governor ? What's that do .
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
Yep, it does. I'm not too familiar with what it does, but I've heard it basically favors lower CPU speeds, saving you some extra battery life. I've yet to notice any lag or slowness from running that governor. I get pretty good battery life with this kernel too, so I figured I'd stick with it.

Would calling a phone a car chassis, a ROM the motor and a kernal the driver be a good analogy?
Alright im having a real hard time with this. I have a scense rom and want to know if there are any overclockable kernals for it. I have not been able to get a strait answer on this and hope someone could help me. If there are what is a good one for battery life and charge time??
Ziggys471.com. they can be ocd an have good battery on z roms. What rom are you runnin.

im running Inc Rom 1.6 and if i do believe i still had a problem with the ziggy kernals but i will try again due to my google account getting messed up from the playstation hacking that occured. since then all my emails went haywire.
i meant to say i factory reset my phone so i didnt save the ziggy kernal but i think it still had graphical glitch bars when i tried it.

Actually it wasnt overclockable thats why i didnt keep it its the same as all sence kernals. This is a bummer because i like sence roms for the camera and they have no overclocking kernals that i found yet

With CM7.0.3 stable I have flashed some different kernels and messed with the governors, but no matter what I do if I OC past 1153 mhz it freezes and reboots or worse. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
Some processors can't handle higher speeds, hence reboots. Not all processors are created equal lol.

Exactly ^, I can OC to 1.22 with no problem. Some just can't.
OK makes sense, just thought maybe there was something that I could have done to change this. Thanks for the replies.

Reason it freezes is because you need a hboot higher then eng .076

Well just checked my phone and after a fresh install it says its running anthrax already
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I just started using Anthrax so I can't really speak for it. My go to kernel is the Evo 4g Freedom-v0.9. I would link it... but XDA doesn't trust me yet . You can search the EVO forum or find it in the stickied Detailed ROM Wiki.
I second Freedom.
Freedom v9 is an amazing kernel, i am using the Energy rom, which comes with chopsuey baked in. I recently switched to the anthrax v004 kernel, and my rom is much snappier, and the my battery life almost doubled! my vote is for anthrax!
Im running anthrax with SET CPU set to 245/1036 and screen off profile 245/245 and interactiveX. Been off the charger since 8AM and am at 70% left. considering 10% is wasted when you take it off the charger right away, this isnt too bad...
Anthrax totally!

MikRom thread - Anthrax kernel
This thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038967&page=1613)
will NOT let me reply due to lack of number of posts (very frustrating, but a bit understandable) but I was inquiring about the Anthrax kernel. I'm currently running More Freedom v0.9, and it's slowed down or become sluggish lately. I'm running MikG v2.5.
My two questions are:
will this Anthrax kernel help?
If so, does it also have Bluetooth HID capability? I have a new keyboard and finding a driver for Android is about impossible.
AND, I guess a third. Assuming it helps, how can I get it or where I can download?
Please apprise me if possible!
Thanks!
I think this may have something to do with your h boot. Scope out caulkins thread on radios, wimax, etc. Hope this helps

Thanks. However, I should have noted that this ran pretty well for a while. I've ordered new batteries that are on the way, thinking that the battery might be the culprit. It seems to wane quickly nowadays.
I did not want to leave my phone with the Sprint tech for 1.5 hours to pore through my phone while he did a diagnostics test. I just didn't feel comfortable doing that. He'd assuredly come back and tell me the phone was rooted, blah blah blah, warranty voided, nothing he could do and that's the reason it was sluggish.
After I moved to this it worked really well for about 3-4 months. The last two months it runs out of memory and the battery fades quickly. The only thing I can really point to perhaps is Tweetcaster. Seems to be a big drain on everything and there's no clean exit command for it, unlike other apps, so it runs all the friggin' time if you instantiate it.
As for Anthrax kernels, I've heard some people recommend "test 9".
Do most of you here recommend that as well?
I really need someone to pm me the anthrax kernel.
The test 9 version works amazing on my phone. I'm running mikg*3. 0

Before flashing the anthrax kernel you should wipe dalvik-cache, flash kernel, wipe dalvik-cache again, reboot, let phone sit 10 minutes, and then reboot again. Search xda for the kernel install information to make sure that you are installing it correctly. It's the best for my evo thus far and I have had no problems. It's baked into the shooter E3D rom. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
