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?

hi, im new to modding my phone. i had cm6 for a month then i tried omgb and now im at skyraider sense. im mainly looking for better battery life but i do not understand this kernal thing. can i flash a kernal and keep the same rom? how do i do that? is ultimate droid a good rom?
thanks for all the help
You can flash a kernel by simply downloading it and then going to into recovery and clearing cache and dalvik cache then flashing it. Kernels are what really impact your battery life tthe most.

do i just hit install zip from sd card? how do i know what a good kernal is? is any compatible with every rom?
for cm and a 2.3 rom please
AOSP ROMs require AOSP kernels, same w/ Sense ROMs.
Beware installing an AOSP kernel in a Sense ROM or vice-versa.
As stated, flash a kernel in recovery by choosing the appropriate zip file.
I have used Sense and AOSP ROMs, depends on what you want/like.
I do like UltimateDroid, v 2.5 with IncredibleK's #18 - I get phenomenal battery life and performance to boot.
I can also recommend Ruby (AOSP), these two Sense ROMs: IncROM, and Incredibly ReEngineered.
All are stable, fast, good-looking, and great on battery.
ymmv
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)
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.
What is a kernal and what does it do? Is it any different than a ROM? And how do you flash/install a kernal. I've flashed a few roms on the past few phones but I still have no idea what a kernal does.....any help appriciated..
You install a kernal simply by wiping caches,(cache and dalvik cache). Custom kernals allow you to do things a stock kernal wouldnt allow. There are some great developers of kernals here on XDA. You really just need to Search the forums for all of your answers, even google it. Once you do learn what a kernal is,you will be able to enjoy the full, or almost full, potential of your phone. Good luck!!
In a nutshell a kernel is the "heart" of the OS. It's really simple to flash. You start by making a nandroid that way if something goes wrong you have a backup, then wipe cache/dalvik 2x each, after that you can flash the kernel. It's a rinse and repeat process.

Quick question. I see that they are labeled like [sense] and [AOSP]. If I'm running MUIU as my rom right now, would I use an AOSP Kernel or does that matter.

Definitely matters. You need an AOSP kernel like Tiamat or Savaged Zen. I had good luck with Tiamat, but I'm running the stock kernel at the moment.

It wouldn't be a good idea to you a Sense kernel on anything besides a Sense ROM, or you will get a boot failure. I believe that MIUI use AOSP kernels.
What are the differences?
I'm using Android Revolution HD 3.0.0 now and in the description mike1986 claims that stock 3.0.8 kernel is the best so far but with so many people using franco's kernel it must be better or am i wrong?
Also, will flashing franco.kernel on Android Revolution cause any bugs etc? (I'm kinda new to this whole flashing kernels part)
(If there are better roms do not hesitate to recommend me one and please tell me what's better if thats the case )
Thanks in advance!

I can not list the differences for you exactly just go to franco's thread. There are many advantages to flashing a custom kernel. The kernel devs work hard to make the kernel's better than stock in many ways. You'll get extra features and extended battery life for sure out of a custom kernel. Stock better? I dont think so! Flashing a kernel after a rom is the way you have to do it but, ya some settings might not work if the kernel dev had done things differently from the rom dev.
give it a shot if you dont like it you can always reflash your rom package to restore the roms kernel.
before flashing a kernel (or reflashing your rom after flashing a custom kernel) wipe your dalvik cache
so many people around here have a boner for franco but I always highly recommend GLaDOS kernel its imo the best and most advance but to each his own
