Best kernel for lou's Senseless

Hi, Currently running Sense(less) rEVOlution 2.0 with Kernel #4, is there a better kernel for better battery life? I like this combo very much but I think the battery could be better
Also looking for a true senseless, AOSP gingerbread rom with gapps included, or at least flashable, any suggestions?
Thanks
Try lous #8....closest thing to whst ur talkin about would b skyraider athena, that and the other 5 gingerbread roms in development

If you haven't tried chad's incredikernel:
http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.32.27-incredikernel-12232010-plus25v.zip
then I suggest you give it a go.
Use it without setCPU, at least at first. It has one built in so you really don't need one, if you find it too sluggish or you think you can set it better then put it on after you gave the whole Kernel a good run without it.
I find this Kernel very fast and the best for battery life that I've tried.

Not many of those. Really CM7 is the only one I've found worthy of flashing.
Try the RC1
(If you go with AOSP then you will need a different kernel than listed above)
Thanks guys for the replies.
I will try #8 tonight, also on chad's Kernels I have read the same and will be trying that one as well. I'm really liking Senseless 2.0 with Launcher pro Plus
Yeah I understand that with a sense rom you have to have a sense Kernel and with AOSP rom an AOSP kernel. Question though. IF i did decide to try and AOSP ROM, that AOSP rom should/would come with a new Kernel right? Just don't flash Lou's stuff/sense kernel after that.. only flash another AOSP Kernel. Is that right?
I have the Droidx so this Kernel stuff is new to me lol.. still learning.

You got it Most/all ROMs for the Inc come with a kernel included. I personally like the one CM7 RC1 comes with, gives me great battery life
Ziggy's 12111 beta
If I flash to incredikernel from Lou's #4 I just need to wide delvic cache correct?

[Q] Kernels?

I just flashed koni's elite II rom (which is awesome) and i want a really fast kernel that's compatible, any suggestions?
any sense kernel. try a few. when i was on sense, i either used netarchy's newest cfs version, or one of ziggy's beta kernels (www.ziggy471.com). i also like calkulin's modded htc 15 kernel. try cyanogenmod nightly 7 stock kernel is new and beast. or try savagezen on aosp.
Thanks man
no problem
I wouldn't have advised him to use and AOSP kernel on a Sense rom.

i didnt.
" try cyanogenmod nightly 7 stock kernel is new and beast. or try savagezen on aosp."
i'd say thats clear enough. you can mock me for being wrong when he flashes savagezen over myns (which would totally be worth the pictures of fail that people would post btw)

[Q]Savaged-Zen Issue, or recommend a kernel for stock rom

I tried the latest Savaged-Zen froyo kernel and the speed is excellent but I get random horizontal lines on the screen. Especially on anything that loads or refreshes like the notification bar or facebook loading icon.
Never really flashed a custom ROM or anything, the only thing I did was install Rom Manager and added a recovery. I just want to be able to boost up the speed safely and I read kernels are the best way.
That's called screen tearing, so you should change. I recommend the savaged-zen froyo kernel, or since you're on sense, the net-archy kernels have good reviews.
And you flash a kernel just like a rom > wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the kernel.
I used to have screen tearing all the time but on tiamat I got none.

I already tried the Savaged-zen and i tried a few of their older froyo builds. I just realized that since I never flashed any custom ROMS my phone is still sense based and these kernals are AOSP based, is that the reason?

Absolutely, I was just about to inform you of that. Those kernels are only for AOSP roms. If you stay on sense, you need to try a Sense kernel. I have great luck with Netarchy's or Ziggy's kernels. Good luck

Cool, that makes sense. Netarchy's seems to pop up a lot in my research so I'll give it a go. And thanks for the comment, haha.
*Update: so far so good, I'm seeing much better frame rate but not as good as I was experiencing with Savaged-Zen. I never really used a benchmark to get actual numbers I'm mostly going by eye. I'm actually considering trying out various ROM's just to be able to use Savaged-Zen. What I love about Android is that I can easily customize the scrub way through apps, trying out custom Roms, themes or if I'm feeling brave I can go in and edit anything myself by replacing files. The community is great so new things are always coming out and I'm never bored with my phone.

[Q] Need help picking a kernel

Ok so I am new to the droid Incredible and as you can kind of tell I am coming from the HTC Hero by sprint. I looked around but nothing really helped me making a decision so now I am asking you! I am currently running the newest Synergy ROM which is android 2.3.3 and I haven't seen any gingerbread Kernels, just froyo. What kernel would you recommend for battery life because I am used to having atleast 2 days but I was running cm7 but I missed sense way too much lol
Unfortunately there are no options for custom sense GB kernels aside from what the rom comes with.
ok so that's why I could not find any, is there one in the works though?
That'll be a possibility when the official GB version source code is released, which will be after we would receive the OTA.

Kernal help
I too need help picking a Kernal. I am totally new to this Rom thing but luckly was able to root & get SkyRaider 4.2 running on my Droid Inc. on my first go with no trouble.
So what I'm mainly looking for is to get:
1. Better battery life
2. To overclock cpu
(If you have any other tips for me on getting the most out of my phone, they would be MUCH appreciated.)
So I've been thinking of flashing the Incredikernal 2.632. But I know that this new version of SkyRaider was just updated or released not too long ago. Will this effect my decision? Is the Incredikernal I want even compatible with my current SkyRaider rom? Or should I just stick with what I have? Thanks in advance.
I'd recommended trying incredikernel, you're not gonna hurt anything flashing kernels so there's nothing to lose and you very well may see improvements in performance and battery life. Just make sure you get the incredikernel for sense from 12/23. Other options to look into are heyitslou and ziggys.

[Q] Not going to research this. Asking for poll purposes

I am not going to research this, cause I am sure there are a ton of threads involving ROMs. What I am asking is for a poll. I just installed yesterday Wicked Sensations v1.4 with FF18 modem. I did that modem because prior to flashing to Wicked I had installed the FF18 on a stock Gingerbread 2.3.6. Seemed to work well on my phone. Anyway I am not liking Wicked to much; so I am asking all of you. What ROM are you running? What is the performance like? Is there any ROMs out that that have the overclock kernel built in? What issues are you seeing with the ROM you chose? I know the ultimate decision will be mine as to what ROM to use. Wither it's the stock android, or something else. I am asking this because before I started trying to flash to a different ROM I was only aware of Cyanogenmod 7. I get on here, and start looking around, and BAM! there are a TON of ROMs.
Blazer ROM
I'm currently running Blazer V4.1 as my daily driver. I flashed rogue_et-1.4.1+ kernel w/ OCing. I don't have any issues at all. best one I've ran so far.
I just started running CM9 Alfa5 build with TeamWins twrp- 2.1.8-epictouch-CM9-FF11(safe for flashing) kernel and can't be happier. Everything works as it should, it's really smooth and has a ton of bells and whistles.
If your looking for a GB roms try out GalaxyTask_14_Slim I used that one for a long long time. And if I decide to go back to GB that's the rom I would jump back to.
