I downloded and installed the latest version of virtuous sense and saw in rom manager there was 4 different kernels. Cyanogen, virtuous, evil, and htc stock and was wondering which kernal peoplee think is best at the momment and why? Thanks for the help

1.02 was solid as hell. I'm using 1.05 but have a few new programs running in the background and the battery life isn't as solid. Feels a bit snappier but it's hard to tell because I made a few changes. I'd probably suggest going with the latest kernel though.
Anyone else have any advice on best kernal thus far?

My opinion, when I was running Virtuous which wasnt but 2 weeks ago, was eViL kerenel 12-10-1 which is on rom manager.
if you check out the thread for it, rmk and evil post seperate kernels that arent found in rom manager. im running 1.05 right now and its pretty stable. just to be safe, use the default. on average for any kernel mostly with set cpu profiles, i get about 7-11 hours of battery life. (witth heavy texting, web browsing and light calls)

So I finally got my wipe to upgrade from her dumbphone to a smartphone (Droid Inc.) and I'm looking into what are the best ROMS available *if* she lets me hack her phone.
I'm new to this arena since I have a Droid X so I want to know from people's experiences what is the best ROM for the DInc? From doing a quick look through it seems like CyanogenMod 6, SkyRaider Sense or Redemptive rEVOlution might be possible candidates.
I know the CyanogenMod ROM is one of the big ones but I'd like to keep the Sense UI on her phone to make it as easy as possible to use for her (and I do like HTC's overlay.)
So any thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?
Try out redemptive revolution 1.9. Good battery life and very stable.

I use SkyRaider 3.3.2 with LauncherPro Plus and GOTO as a lock screen and have no problems. I too love HTC Sense, just decided to play with LPP.
Heads up: There's a "General" Incredible subforum for these sorts of posts.
*make sure you know what version of the dinc she has, amoled or slcd,some roms and recovery won't work without fixes* that said redemption rom is currently my fave, otherwise virtuous rom. theres also red raven and feather but wouldn't recommend those for your wife. I believe theres a rom that sum1 made with a pink theme somewheres also but don't quote me on that. if you do any of these look for the new leaked stock kernel, has a lot better battery life and charges in half the time.

I love Cyanogen, if you're looking for Vanilla ROM this is a great choice. I'm using CM6.0.2 right now and I love it. CM6.1 RC1 should be dropping very soon, it's not 100% stable but Cyanogen himself it could be used as your daily driver

I'd stay away from the Desire HD and Z ports until the camera issues are resolved.
I'm using redemptive revolution 1.9 and loving it right now. It just got updated with new framework so its the latest and greatest in my book!
I love the Desire Z port from IncredibleDoes but some people need the camera or would like to have the cam, if that's the case try SkyRaider 3.3.2 its the best one out there for me.
Uncommon Sense
I will stick with Uncommon Sense Rom, its the most Stable free bug HTC Incredible Rom, the feels is likely Sense OEM manufacturer, I did not find any lack at all with the exception of APk Drawer little lag scrolling up. as well is the best of the two world android/Sense blended.
All the rest of the HTC Incredible Rom have several problems that have to be address and for sure Updates will be available to Roms like Sky raider and Virtuous.
Most ROMs are good, but also aren't 100% done. To be honest, if you wife uses her phone a lot and isn't a tinkerer just keep it the way it is lol.
Once camera issues are resolved the desire ports will pretty much be in a league better than any of the custom roms based on earlier sense. I would also strongly recommend miui except that many of the really useful sense widgets have no equivalent ones in aosp roms. I would recommend aosp roms only for people who are ok with constantly tinkering with their phones, not for your wife who will probably want.something that just works.
Until then redemptive, virtuous, skyraider are good choices.

I have tried a bunch of Roms and all of them have their strong points. This is all a matter of personal preference.
That being said, I would recommend Virtuous with the custom kernel or new stock kernel and here are the reasons:
1. It is very stable and fast.
2. Good battery life.
3. Nothing is removed or modded that cannot be readded or turned back on using the tools the developer provided (Virtuous Buddy).
4. Great dev support.
This is not the only Rom I use, but it is definitely the only Rom I would put on my wifes phone.

I would say virtuous or the newest leaked deoxed stock ROM... both using the newest stock kernel.
Only roms I would consider for the girlfriend....
Personally I would just do a few mods to the newest stock ROM minus the bloat.

I switch between Redemption and Redemptive Revolution.
I like Redemption with Kings BFS #5 kernel the best, amazing battery life! It just "feels" good to me.
Wow nice! Thanks for all the recommendations! I don't think I've heard of Virtuous so I'll check that one out.
Also to commenton the tinkering part, she definitely isn't into tinkering...in fact she complains when I tinker with my phone for too long LOL
Going ASOP isn't really an option since the base Android UI is lacking without some extra apps so the Sense UI is perfect for her. I do plan on (obviously) rooting the phone and setting up SetCPU but any additional improvements custom ROMS make are always nice to have.

It really depends on what you want. For sense based roms, I am particularly fond of Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo. It's based on the Evo framework, has an incredible development team, and is able to use many evo and incredible options. Just take a stroll through the development thread and check out how many separate threads are devoted to the rom.
Ziggy's kernels, Lou's kernels, and the incredikernels are some of the more popular and widest used kernels, and for good reason. If you can't find what you're looking for between those three, then you won't find it.
Good luck my friend
Thanks a lot bro.... will check it out ASAP and of course miui that rom is just sick all around...

Check out some of the new sense roms too. Really liking nils business sense desire z and wes super z rom
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Of course there's always Cyanogen if you like to go 'vanilla'. Version 7 is out (CM7) which is a Gingerbread build. It's really stable and the fastest rom I've used to date.
Check out this thread if you're interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916881
I'm using cm7 nightly #2 with the 2.6.37 incredikernel and it has awesome battery life but I believe the highest overclock is 1113MHz, so nothing crazy but you'll still get great performance
the invisiblek kernel is supposed to be nice too but I haven't tried it
Ive used quite a few different ROM's and I used Sense(less) rEVOlution 2.0 for a few months with great success. However, I just switched to Incredibly Re-Engineered v2.3.1 and I must say this is my favorite ROM so far.
I'm loving CyanogenMod 7 with just the included kernel. Fastest ROM I've flashed by far and getting anywhere from 12-30 hours depending on usage. Can't wait for future updates.
If you like Sense, I honestly liked Virtuous and used it for a while. Extremely stable and fairly customizable. Any Sense ROM is likely to drain your battery a little quicker, Rosie is needy.

Myn's Warmtwopointtwo has a very clean feel and i have been running it for a while now. I've also run Virtuous, Redemptive, CM7. Myn's is the best imo thus far. Lou's #9 is great. I just switched to ziggy's beta 12111 and it is a little faster , but battery life hasn;t been fully tested. also Juice defender is a great app to get you through the day.

I have to agree with this quote. I have been running v2.3.1 for a few days now and I have really taken a shine to it. I am running it with incredikernel and it has been 'incredibly' stable and fast. Sorry for the pun, but it was just incredible.
incredikernel is the way to go.
I run SR 3.5 because of stability, clean and fast.
CM7 RC1.5 #5 is stable and fast imo. Gotta give it a go!
Hi what kernels best for battery? Any suggestions welcome!
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA App
Usually the one that comes packed with a ROM, so really depends what you are using tbh. If using CM7 then use the one that comes packed with that one, if using on of the Sense ROMS, ARHD or LeeDroid, I would recommend one of theirs. IMHO for the LeeDroid you shuold try and use the one with the BFS as it seemed to give better performance and when coupled with the Smartass Governator gave really god Battery life.
There is also a guide to enlarging your battery life on here somewhere. I will post it when i find it.

Unfortunately, MIUI roms does not have Sense.
Sebs runnymede aio v6.1 with droidzone #18 kernel, very fast and I am currently 26 hours with 30% battery left, moderate use, all simple battery saving tips used.

If I had to choose one that has the better chance of having a
better battery life, it would be the IncROM.What do you think??
Not the rom depends on battery life, it's nearly everything about the kernel (although I think Sense is also a battery drainer).
So if uses a good kernel (cannot recomend one because I do not like Sense) and one will have very good battery life.

ive recently tried using runny 5.1 (yes... purely for the swipe notification removal) and it trounces any of the other sense roms ive used, though tbh i work at a desk all day and i walk home and im not too far from a socket so power hasnt really been much of an issue.
NICE

Yeah, and how about to ask these questions
I experienced the best batery live with runnyrom but The Aio rom is with #18 kernel is also not bad
Other than kernel I believe that choose app also quite important. For me currently using runnymade ROM and the batteries is stay quite longer and it become drain fast after I install "LED me know" app.

I would recommend RSK v7.1.... The fastest nd most smooth sense 3.5 Rom I vet used... Good battery life.... No lag whatsoever....
Tried sebs AIO nd RunnyRom.... But RSK is the best....
There have been some new Sense roms released in last 10 months, including some Sense 4.1 roms.
What is the answer to the question form the original post today?
I changed from An - droid after a year with it to Alex-V, which is a hybrid rom. Same number of apps, same number of services, at this point the rom is still fresh, but is much faster than previous which was made for Desire. I can't make judgment before a month or so using it, but I was surprised with this revelation. Battery life is _much_ worse tho so I'd say general rule of the thumb is that Sense version and battery life are reverse proportionate.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2
What is that hybrid? What I'm really after is this Sense lockscreen which displays unread messages, calls, and agenda events from calendar. I tried Runnymede 3.5 and RSK 4.1 but none of them had it. I only saw it on ICS Sense 4.1 ViperS for Desire S.
Hybrid = sense 2.1+3.0.
Sense 4.1 is much closer to being an unusable pile of binary data than being a rom.

I also think that the kernel does greatly for the life of the battery, the frequency (minimum and maximum)... i use isl-r4mod-kernel-bravo. This kernel use in many roms.
A rom with sense him does not last very much the battery I advise to use the roms of mildwild ... normally I use Mildwild mw-6 based of Redux. With this rom the life of battery is approximately 2 days. : Good:

And this is why these posts are closed and lead to no where. Here we have one person saying yes and another no. "Stable" is subjective because of how differently we use a rom. Different apps/settings/usage.
The best advice anyone can give is to try it out for yourself and find out if it works for you
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
The ROM itself is pretty stable but it depends which applications you install, then it gets tricky. I've used it for two weeks with mixed results. Battery life was meh, but it was a decent ROM. Got rid of it today and went back to GB 2.3.7 cause its ROCK FREAKING SOLID (BlackICE 1.6)
P.S: I agree with the guy above me ^ flash the ROM yourself and see if it's stable for you, install some apps you'd normally use, setup email, tweak it as you like it e.t.c. Only then can you see if its stable for your uses
using it as my daily driver, no reboots, even though im a pretty heavy user, just make sure to try different kernels, for example i feel like the performance and battery is better on the bfs kernel rather than CFS.... and the room is VERY smooth
