I'd like to start using the custom Kernel's but TMK, the Telus variant has specific requirements.
I started looking through some of the Kernel threads to see if a Telus owner chimed in to either ask or confirm compatibility but found that very tedious.
Do you know which custom DHD kernel's work with both CM7 and Telus?
Thanks.
Since nightly CM7 #22 you havnt needed a kernel. Pretty much any kernel for the Inspire/dhd. Everything's been ironed out i believe
Always nandroid before attempting of course you can always go back
I'm coming from an N1.
There a need for a kernel isn't necessarily warranted but found for example iR's CM-specific kernels to have significant benefits over stock CM.

I currently have a hero and my gf just got the EVO and the battery life is pretty rough on it of course like we all know but i just flashed an under-volt kernal and it seems to work very well, is this possible yet for the EVO? Here are the links below about the topic

AFAIK, most of the kernals we already have available undervolt the CPU.
okay, sorry im a noob to the EVO, as of yet i dont own one, i have a very good undestanding how ever thing works with my hero. So like the latest Fresh Rom for the EVO, has undervolt?

Fresh Rom is a ROM, not a kernel. The kernel that comes with Fresh Rom by default is the stock HTC kernel which has no undervolting. You have to flash an alternate kernel after you flash the ROM which will allow undervolting.
There are a few kernels from which to choose from available here.

There are several threads in her in the dev section here with various kernels for the hero. I use Damage Control 3.2.3 ROM and therefore use a kernel from the developers there. However there is another thread (not ROM related per-se) that goes deeper into the different kernels that are available and being worked on. If you prefer another ROM search those threads... Since the release of the complete source code recently several dev's are tweaking the kernels to integrate with their ROM's.
Seek and yee shall find... (If you go to the DamageControl link, Look for info on post #2. You will have to scroll a bit because it's a beast as is the size of the thread.
I think Baked Snack ROM does the most undervolting. He said he has undervolted it so low with stability.
That ROM does wonders to your battery... let me just say that.
hi, i'm about to flash leedroid v 2 on my desire hd, but i was wondering what the kernels in his site for? do i really need to flash them? and how?
This is what a Kernel does:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing)
Or, a short explanation: It's the interface between your Hard- and Software.
The faster and the more optimized it is, the faster, smoother and energy efficient your DHD runs.
If you're on Leedroids ROM you already have one of the best Kernels around.
In this case it only makes sense to flash another Kernel if you want to overclock your device. (And no, I won't describe overclocking, too. If you've clicked the link above, you're already on wikipedia to look that up, too ;-) ).
i think leedroids rom includes his latest kernel anyway, the flashable one is for people not using his roms
Every ROM comes with a kernel. Leedroid 2.0 came with a kernel. Then later Lee added some modifications to his kernel and a new kernel 2.0.1 was made available and so forth until 2.0.4. Since changes were somewhat minor he did not introduce a new ROM version. But this means different people may be using the same LeeDroid ROM each with different kernels and different experiences. For example the latest recommended kernel seems to be 2.0.3 as 2.0.4 has more battery drain.

please bear with me as im pretty new to this.
so a few weeks ago, i rooted my g2 and installed sense ui (desire z rom)
now i tried to overclock with the kernel from the unlockr page titled "How To: Overclock your perm rooted/ s-off T-Mobile MyTouch 4G or T-Mobile G2."
the overclock works great except for one thing, the video player doesnt work. none of the videos whether i made them or from youtube will work.
id like to know if i did something wrong.
You have to do a lot of research on which rom and or kernel you get they all have things that dont work... Either videos, blutooth, number keys during calls.....

As shortlived said you can flash karnels and overclock your phone but some things will not work, especially video playback. Read some threads and you will get an idea. Also you can try Virtuous you can download the advance karnel(You can overclock to 1.5 ghz) and everything should work fine.

now that's figured out, has anyone successfully overclocked the g2 with sense or is it better to overclock with the stock rom?
Overclock kernal always can't support video playback well. Maybe you can try one by one to find a suitable

Okay it matters what sense your talking about. Gingerbread sense right now works with the stock sense karnel and sense 2.2 in the other hand can be overclocked ( Use Virtuous since you can download the advance karnel and overclock to 1.5 GHZ and like I said before everything should work.) As for stock Rom, I wouldn't waste my time since there is CM7 or CM6 is better. Also you can overclock both to to 1.5 ghz

Kernels are linked to the ROM being used, not to the hardware. Therefore, you need to be specific and tell us which ROM you used (as the reply above also mentioned). Different custom ROMs often have recommended kernels. Another thing, Froyo kernels are not the same as Gingerbread kernels. Plus, the kernels for Sense based ROMs are different from the vanilla (non-Sense) flavored. The kernel you mentioned appears to be for the stock G2 ROM (non-Sense). That is probably the main reason why things aren't working right.
If you are on Virtuous, then flash one of the Virtuous kernels. Virtuous comes with a 1 GHz overclock, no kernel flashing required. But since you've flashed another kernel, you should be able to flash the Standard kernel to get back to it). Or you can flash the "Advanced" Virtuous kernel for more OC options.

If you are on a stock Sense Froyo ROM, the Godspeed kernel works great.

If you are on some other custom Sense ROM, read the thread for that ROM, to see what kernels are recommended.
Or if you want to get real crazy you can flash the 1.8ghz kernel just dont expect everything to work.

I am just wondering if I should update my kernel? I have been rooted since day one and I don't believe I have ever accepted any updates. I have also been running the MikG 2.1 rom for many months. The kernel I currently have is 4.54.651.1. I saw that I can download 4.67.651.3. I know there are also lots of others out there.
Will there be a big advantage to this, or should I just leave it alone. I am about to update to the MikG 3.1 rom in a few minutes is the reason I am looking.
Thanks.
Every rom you flash comes with a kernel, or it wouldn't boot. Just flash the mik rom you want, it will have what you need.
Now if you wanna ask about updating your radio, that's a whole different thing, and depending on how old your radio is, it is possible you may need to update your radio. But I'm guessing since you're on a relatively recent rom already, you won't have an issue with your current radio.
The only time I read that I HAD to update my radio to flash a particular rom was when the rom was built off a new OTA (going from froyo to GB), I believe. But that may have not even been true/necessary.

You shouldn't "need" to update kernel. Many kernels available do have some improvements over the stock in regards to lower voltage for better battery performance, ability to over clock, other performance tweaks as well as hdmi stuff. Maybe none of those features will interest you but the option is there, flash a custom kernel and if you don't like it, flash the stock kernel. User experiences vary, you are the best judge of performance.
I was unsure about flashing a kernel for a while, it can be a little intimidating but u won't regret upgrading your Kernel. I eventually moved onto building my own kernel.
If you looking for a good sense kernel I would recommend Lionfish. Freedom and Chop Suey also are good kernels.

My friend asked me to flash cyanogenmod on his play. But when I flashed it, it was very slow. Doomslord kernel, not the ice one. And cm7 from official cm site. Is there something wrong with this setup that causes the extreme slowness? Pls help me.
First try and see if CM lowered the CPU frequency. Go to settings -> cyanogenmod settings -> performance (or something similar) -> CPU settings.
If this isn't the case, try flashing their own kernel or install a nightly build.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't it state that cyanogen roms are only compatible with cyanogem kernels? So any other kernels would cause problems.

That's not entirely true. Some kernels can use CyanogenMod sources, but with tweaks, so technically those aren't CyanogenMod kernels. Then there are times where there are very minor bugs while using kernels that aren't CyanogenMod kernels. In many cases, those bugs are negligible, and easily worked around.
So no, there are other kernels that would work with CyanogenMod.
What model of Xperia Play is it? Is it GSM or CDMA? Which specific DooMKerneL was flashed, can you link to the thread?
Can someone link me to that kernel? I'm very lost over here. I've rooted and flashed roms to so many devices but the one is the hardest to date.
