Best Kernel for CM7? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, I'm wondering what kernel would be best to use with CM7. I don't know much about the differences kernels make so I'm coming to you guys to just recommend me the one that would perform the best with CM7. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if a post like this has been made before. Thanks!

I'm running the savage-Zen kernel and it seems to be real stable for me...I use the SBC version but if you don't wanna take any risk for your battery then you can use the non SBC kernel

I am just using the stock for now.

If I were running a sense ROM I would flash Netarchy's kernels...
netarchy or ziggy's are your main choice listed on XDA. else where on the web you can find Baked kernel and kings kernel.
i would just start with Netarchy and see how it goes.
Thanks alot guys. Ill try them out...
I'm kind of slow with this. Which file would I download if I wanted to use a kernal out of this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876590

First make sure u read up on SBC so you are aware of any 'possible ' issues. That said I use SBC, and I would use the netarchy 4.2.2 less aggressive HAVS
i dont really suggest using a SBC kernel personally. if you decide yuo want to it depends the more aggresive the undervolt the better the battery. this can impact performance and not all phones like an aggressive undervolt kernel and can reboot more often.
I would jsut find the netarchy kernel thread itself and lookf or the latest and try the aggressive undervolt kernel. if you have performance issues (random reboots) then flash the less aggressive one.
I'm not really digging an SBC Kernal as well. You of any good kernels that aren't SBC?
SBC-HTC15
Best yet

Just look for netarchys thread... they don't have SBC
Really surprised no one sent you to MYN's warm 2.2 rom thread....great rom....lots of great kernal options....lots of mods...it truly is the king of roms for your evo...give it a try you won't be disappointed...let me know if you have any questions. Mike

[Q] Best non-SBC kernel for MIUI

Ok so I really love the MIUI ROM but I don't wanna run it with the SBC kernel it comes with. Anybody have any non-SBC kernels that they'd reccommend using?

I personally use the zen .5 sbc kernel...i would recommend using the savage 1.6-cfs-wimax kernel witch gets pretty good battery life and nice performance.

[Q] Best Kernel for EVO running CM7

I flashed CM 7 a while back and love it, but as always I feel as though I'm not getting the best battery life. With moderate use I'm lucky not to have to plug it in halfway through the day.
Any good kernel recommendations for good battery life? I'm testing SavagedZen's kernel and using it's governor currently. I find it to have excellent life while the phones asleep, but it's a battery hog when I'm using the phone.
GoDm0dE has done wonders for my battery life! Your mileage may vary as all EVO's seem to be slightly different.
Im having a great exp with SZ 2.1.0. Try using the BFS version of the latest savagezen; As to me it seems the savagezen governor works best with their rom versus cm7(if that's what ur using). I personally run conservative or ondemand with a max of 1113 and 245 min. You could also try the new toast godmode kernel! Here's some general info I think you might find helpful.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894880
I've tried a million different kernals and personally I think CM7 just still has some battery issues to work out.
What has become a frustration of mine is that I continually get different results with the same items. In other words. Some days I'll be using the same kernal and ROM release and even the same programs and my battery will disolve right before my eyes while sudden then I'll get great battery life for a day or two.
Personaly I think it has something to do with 3g and wifi issues, because I seem to have random issues with those as well . . . but I don't know enough about all this to back that up with anything more than anecdotal observation.
CM7 + Timat Kernel = EPIC WIN.
If you flash, only use version 3.3.7 or 3.3.8 as 4.0.0 is breaking some cameras.
Toastcfh's GoDm0dE Kernel gets my vote, and that's coming from Tiamat 3.3.8 with the -100mv script from Viperboy. The Godmode kernel is by FAR much smoother and has gotten me better battery life. Toastcfh works on Cyanogenmod so you know it'll run well with CM7

I'm getting the best battery life from this combo, using 3.3.8
I just started using CM7 last week and also love it.
Image give God mode a shot n see how that works out....if not ill go back to tiamat until they fix the issue's wit the 4.0

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Not sure if this helps anyone, but running godmode at 245/1113 vs tiamat at 245/1267, performance governor on both, I benchmark much better on godmode. I know there's a lot more to consider than that but with a lower clock it surprised me how well godmode did. IIRC I got 1333 on quadrant.
Can anyone point me in the direction where I can find the original CM7 kernel to have on hand to switch back to should I so desire? I want to play with some other kernels, but I always like to have the original sitting by just in case, ya know? Currently running CM nightlys with 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-01504-gdc28eac [email protected] #1
Any input would be welcomed (ok, any constructive input hah)

Tiamat has a nice kernel with the sbc added to it. I get around 16-20hrs on moderate use with it.

I tried kernel manager, but whenever I try to DL a kernel it pauses then drops me back at the kernel selection screen. All I really want is the current CM / CM nightly kernel(s) so that I can try Tiamat or some of the others but still have a fail safe to drop back to without flashing a whole ROM...sighs

Yeah, I have the tiamat kernel...what I cannot seem to find anywhere, XDA, CM forums, way too much google digging, is the CM kernel to fall back to if I do not like the results I get with tiamat.
To sum it up...
What I have:
Tiamat, Savage, godmode, and every other custom kernel...but CM
What I am seeking:
CM kernel in flashable form, and if kernel manager is the magical answer, can someone PM me and you can email it to me since the manager fails to work for me?

Wanting to flash tiamats kernel

I'm currently downloading gingerbread evo 1.3b2 because it looks awesome and I understand that if I pair it with tiamats kernel, battery life is awesome. I can flash roms no problem, im using clockwork mod. My question is, how to specifically flash a kernel? Do I use the update option in CWM?
Nevermind, i found my answer. Ok one more question tho, if i do a nandroid backup, does it backup my kernel as well? if I flash to a different rom will it stll be using tiamats kernel
The kernal will also be backed up. Tiamat 3.7 is the greatest.

3.3.7 or 3.3.8 works great sbc on both
I think I will switch back to sbc, forget what they said before lol.
World peace with no regard for human life.
Currently running CM7.0.1 with tiamats kernel 4.0.2. Should I be using 3.7? Whats the major difference? I am also using setcpu, what should i be using the ondemand scaler or the smartass governer option?
I just heard 3.3.7 did not have the problems that 4+ may have.
World peace with no regard for human life.
I'll keep runing the version i have now and hope i dont run into any problems. ill go to 3.3.7 if i do have problems. What kind of problems have you heard that it has?

XDA: What are you using?

What Rom and Kernel is everyone using?
Curious as to know exactly what people on XDA are running on their OG EVO 4G.
I've found Decks 2.3.7 GB is the best GB Rom IMO but it is getting old, as in age.
*Best GB?+Kernel?
*Best ICS?+Kernel?
*Best Sense?+Kernel?
I would personally rather run ICS but I am so anal about my phone that the screen flicker when turning the screen off really aggravates me.
Just trying to get a feel which Rom is the "best" for you & why that is?
Thanks!

Does it have the screen off bug like all ICS's do?
Nope. this is a solid daily driver. Only the FFC and 4G are inop. barcodescanner doesn't work for some reason and no HWA yet, but still smooth and fast as hell.
I have a guide for it. Click the Evo guide in my signature and at the end of the Original Post is a link to ICS MIUI Setup.
You may want to wait until after this weekend's update
I'm using MikG 3.11 with Underworld 0.3 kernel. Love the battery life I get but the kernel does make it a little laggy for some reason.
Currently using Shooter E3D and Underworld v0.4
I Have no issues, runs very smooth. Flash many a rom, always come back to Shooter.

Are you sure it doesn't have the screen off problem? Maybe its just my phone that doesn't exactly like ICS, there are so many ICS Rom's out there I cannot keep up with them. I will take your advice and wait until this weekends update and give it a shot.
Appreciate the feedback everyone!
Keep the Evo OG!
SOS X Odex with Underworld v0.4 non-SBC. Runs great, with the best battery life out of any set-up I've tried. Would get even better battery life if you were willing to run the SBC version of Underworld.
