I guess I'm under 10 posts so I could not post in his thread.
But I installed the rom and everything is awesome btw,
Now under his alternative kernels it has the Netarchy's agressive v7 kernel, I installed it, and if I put setcpu at 1.267 ghz my phone shuts off and reboots?
IS there a reason why?
Also it just went to its first reboot and it went into a bootloop?
K now it's not bootlooping but it starts up and after about 15 seconds it reboots.
EDIT: I flashed the stock kernel and its fine now, but I want to OC it just a little why is it doing that?
you cant overclock it above 1.1 as far as i know thats all the cpu is really capable of

On this rom?
When I had the Evio 2 rom and stock kernel it would go to 1.228.
And on this one, 1.267 makes it reboot.
any kernels or Roms that i have had it would always loop above 1.1 your lucky that u got it to go that high how was it at that speed lol.

i was told that if you OC and start having bootloop scale back the OC until it gets stable again.
I got netarchy's 4.3.2 kernel and it's clocked to 1.228, wont go any higher since the incident.
From my understanding, no two phones are exactly alike and one phone will allow you to OC more than another. The most I ever OC to is 1.19 but I usually keep it at 1.15 and it is very stable. I've gone up to 1.267 and it still worked, but I only left it at that number for a few seconds and I never tried to go higher.
It's a crap shoot with overclocking. With different ROMs, Kernels and hardware in play, the results can be very different from one version to the next. This is the nature of overclocking. As mentioned in a previous post, you need to keep notching it back until it gets stable again.

Well it was hard to notch it back since I had set at boot checked and it was at 1.267, so I had to re flash the stock #15 htc kernel, and set it at 998 and then flash the new kernel and now it's at 1.228 and stable, and not to mention my battery is amazing.
I keep mine at 1.19 as well, I had it higher at one time, but there's not that much
improvement in performance for me to risk my phone boot looping while i'm asleep at
night.
BTW, Myn's ROM is really good but i've always use KK #9 BFS for it overclocker at 1.19
with no issues, no reboots, only secks.
I'm about to flash the CM7 RC1 ROM and would like to know, what would be the best kernel to flash with it? I looked into the Savage Kernel and the links are dead. Does Netarchy do a universal kernel that works with all roms?

You could have atleast answered his question, or made a useful post to reach it.
Anyways... the stock kernal that comes with cm7 is actually pretty good. But I use the savaged zen kernel, it gives me amazing battery life and has the smartass and savaged zen govenors tied in.

I am running CM7 with the stock kernel and so far its great. Its fast and the battery life is nice for me. You can go into Settings > CyanogenmodSettings>Performance and change the cpu setting to batterysaver as well.
Man.. first off.. give one of the Nightlies a shot. RC1 was ok for me, but i found that nightly #6 was AMAZING...
Now on to your question... like mentioned above, the one that comes with CM7 is pretty awesome. However, i find that i like the Savage-zen a little more. I am using v1.0 with CFS and SBC and it is WOOOW!!!

yeah and then your phone acts like it is dying everytime you try and do anything.
I much prefer the savaged.zen governor that is based off the smartass governor.
I usually get 2 - 2/12 days with the savaged.zen kernal with SetCPU set on this governor. Though i am about to try out not using SetCPU and using the built in settings from CM and see if they work the same and save me having SetCPU running 24/7. BTW i am running a 1750 MaH battery, same size as stock battery.
Yea I don't use that setting just letting the op know. Let me know how your testing goes. I'm going to try setcpu for the first time.

Mind telling me what version of Savaged.Zen Kernel you are running to get this battery life? BFS or CFS?
Does anyone know if it is necessary to use profiles (ie. screen-off profile) if you're using the savagedzen governor?

You can. Alot of people say it helps alot but some say setcpu isn't helping. Try using the smartass governor and the screen off profile. That way it will underclock the CPU while screen is off. It won't hurt.

SetCPU can modify the processor speed and allow you to set a profiles. However, you're running Tiamat so if you haven't changed anything your default governor is smartass which has a built in screen off profile of 128min/384max.
As far as turning data off, check out ultimatejuice. There is a free version that is limited in what it does, but it might be worth paying for. Also, for battery saving, check out my EVO link in my sig for some undervolting mods.
You can set the cpu governor with a program called setCPU on the marketplace. You can further control the CPU by flashing another kernel. What ROM are you running? Stock? I would try the netarchy kernel (newest version) if you're running a sense-based ROM.. I've found it has phenomenal battery life (medium use i get 15-20hrs) and I'm overclocked to 1.152ghz.
A program called tasker can also make your data connection go off and back on with the screen. I'm unsure how to set the profile but I do know thats possible. Try looking around here: http://tasker.wikidot.com You should be able to find something about it.
EDIT: Nevermind about netarchy, did not see your signature on your ROM and kernel.
ok, so ur on aosp and tiamat. try changing governer to smartass. will give you much better battery life, and you won't have to worry about 'numbers'.
btw the numbers are the cycles per second, or the speed the cpu works at. i personally underclock to 537 (998 is stock) to save a bunch of battery, and it still runs perfectly fine for me (cm7 with tiamat)

Thanks everybody! ....Viperboy thanks for the info unfortunately I still have lots of questions haha. And yes I already been through all the viper undervoltings, 25 through INSANE! A question I have is with those vipervoltings, I assume they'll show different results depending on which kernel and rom i'm running correct? Plus im pretty much sticking with MIUI....I usually use the 25 vipervolting. Now I'm on tiamat v4.0.3. Are you saying sense I'm using tiamat its already set to smartass, so it'll be unnecessary to use the setcpu app? Also I like savZen to what's the default governor on that? Final question, turning the data off when the screen goes off using ultimatejuice unnecessary if I'm running tiamat? Sorry for the bombarding of questions thanks again

Yes, most of the scripts lower by a certain range. So it all depends on the kernel you are running. Some of my scripts (Extreme, Insane, v2 scripts) specify all the voltages so no matter what kernel you're running, it sets the voltages to exact values. If you can go lower than -25 and you're stable, do it!
I find SetCPU unnecessary. I only have it installed because I use it for testing my mods and things, but I that's the only reason. But smartass is good enough for me, no other governors give me as good batter life. Defauly governor on SZ is their own governor (SavagedZen) it's based on interactive, I believe. There is more info on their site.
Tiamat (or any kernel for that matter) don't turn off 3G when the screen is off. You would need an app to do that.

I couldn't agree more. Setting up a basic screen off profile with a conservative setting is useful, otherwise it actually gets in the way of already built in kernel benefits, actually undoing them in many cases. I stopped using setcpu a while ago and my battery life has not suffered at all.

I am currently using MIUI 1.7.29 Osimood with the Tiamat 1.04 kernel, and I am wondering what the best kernel is for battery life. I am also using the V6 supercharger ram script. I am running my CPU at 960mHz at the moment, using the smartass governer. I also undervolted using vipermod, 960MHz at 950mV.
My choice consists of the latest Pershoot, UmaroKernel 1.06 or Tiamat 1.04
What differences would I see between those kernels, are they noticeable for a regular user?
Sorry man, but wehre do you find the vipermod for desire z? http://vipermod.tiamat-dev.com/faq.php it's not compatibile with desire z/g2....
Uh...what's wrong with the kernel it comes with? Can OC to 1.5GHz stock ya know. Battery life is great with it too. People always want to flash something weather it be a radio or a kernel.

damn straight,
1) pershoot is a sense kernel? (i am proabably wrong but i have never tried this kernel)
2) umaro kernel i found had issues with wifi, high underclock freq (leading to poorer battery life), but fun if you have the time to tweak voltages and fast!
3) tiamat kernel i found had issues with sleep of death/random reboots on wakeup couldnt test it past that. (setcpu was set to screen off was: conservative 125min -345 max and would still crash)
if you are up for another kernel, i am now using this kernel (streamline5)
no voltage tweaking (pretweaked) but it has good batt, speedy and stable cant ask for much

Pershoot is actually for non-sense roms. The downfall people have with it is lack of governors. Some don't mind, some want variety. I've had great experiences with Pershoot's kernel and it's the baseline that all others are compared to (not to mention the foundation of almost ALL G2/DZ kernels).
Umaro's just needs to have voltage tweaks done manually but on the plus side - keeping the voltages normal (not UV) allows some people to reach higher OC speeds. It keeps the processor from bottoming out due to insufficient voltage which can easily happen when you UV. The main issue is with the Greased lightening governor - it's new and still a bit buggy.
Tiamat 1.0.4 is outstanding. I can sit all day at 2+ GHz (not literally, see: Chernobyl). I personally have an issue with the interactive governor but other than that it's my favorite kernel (Umaro may take that soon, once greased lightening is perfected).
Basically you just need to try out a few and see which you like. There is no 'best'. Most kernels will work with any ROM (Sense being the only exception).
Bumping a thread that is relevant to my interests.
It's about time for me to jump ship from an outdated CM ROM and try something new like a MIUI ROM.
With that said, I'd like to read more opinions & experiences from people using the various Kernels AND how the latest radio (the one released today) is working for them. I'm just trying to get the optimal experience here
Speaking of MIUI would anyone mind telling me some differences between OsiMood's ROM compared to the official MIUI-US ROM (or even DarkSpadez ROM)?
Thanks a ton guys!
I downloaded the official rom . . .then ignored it downloaded osimood and iv been using it since. Osimood is a lighter rom, which is always a good thing, unwanted languages etc are removed for a smaller faster rom. Also he preinstalls tweaks like an adblocker and extended settings mod.
Kernal wise iv been looking for the same info as you but couldn't find it. So I eneded up trying them all:
- Eugenes streamline5 is a nice kernal, preundervolted. Only probly is its not being updated so will become redundant.
-Tiamats kernal allows over clock to 2ghz and seems to support higher overclocks stably where other kernals can't. Except battery life has decreased with recent kernals
-Umarokernal this is the kernal iv come back to twice and am still on. It allows overclock to 1.9ghz and is kept updated by umaro. Performance per frequency seems as good if not better than most and osimoods miui runs smooth with this kernal on 800ghz with scarey governer (which saves battery) Another plus for me with this kernal is the scarey governer which for me definatly provides the best performance per battery ratio.
I'm currently running MIUI 1.8.5 with Eugene-Streamline 5 Kernel with the latest radio update Vision_Radio_12.57.60.25_26.10.04.12.
SetCPU with Governor ondemand provides me with better usage, power and responsive time then Smartass or Interactive.
OC to 1.2ghz
Battery life, about 30hrs with the regular 1350mah.

You can download it threw rom manager. Even with that kernel I get reboot issues. I assume its cause system ram isn't being cleard fast enough. I'm gonna try 100mv increase to see if there's a difference.

Whats up guys? I have a question about using the Set CPU app.
Is it really worth it to use this app? Will it actually make an improvement in my battery life?
I don't want to use this app to speed up my phone, but to make it better on battery life.
I know you can set up profiles, but I'm not sure on what good setting would be to use. Can anyone give me some insight on this?

P.S. Is there better kernels to be used then Tiamat?

maybe it's just me, but am getting better bat life with the stock kernal. I ran the tiamat for a few days, switched back and it was obvious to me.
With Tiamat the default governor is smartass, which has a built in setting for when the screen is off, that only lets the phone see a max of 368640, which will save on battery life and does.
Now if you want to get into using your own profiles then an app such as Setcpu can be helpful.
I have been using this and this in place of Setcpu. It's a little faster reacting to the changes form screen off to on. Just another option.
I like the Tiamat Kernels as well as JD's Kernels. They both work well with Miui, at least on my phone anyway.
I've used Set CPU for awhile, but then got away from it. I'm back on it now since MIUI doesn't have a built in OC. I would try the two PacerguyDon suggested. I have used the andrev_oc it is fine. The second one appears to have more functions than Set CPU. Set CPU doesn't allow you to under volt if that is what you are looking for.
I saw that Set CPU is $0.99 on Amazon, if you want it. However, I would try the other two for free and donate to the one you like best.
I have been using JD's Kernel the last few days and it seems to provide better battery life than stock. I originally tried using the Smartass govenor, but had to go back to On Demand. The Smartass was causing screen wake delay when receiving a call.
I stole this from another PacerguyDon's post and it breaks down the different govenors found in most OC apps.
Govenors
Set CPU is free for XDA members. It also does allow undervolting according to their post.
