Whats the Best Kernel for battery life???

I need to know the best kernel i'm currently on netarchy's 4.18 i and I have seen kingkilcks but I flash his #8 cfs but it made my phone lag alot and #7 seem to run battery down, but I can't be positive cuz I didn't run it for more than an hour...basically I wanna know wut's the best kernel for battery life? or opinions at least

Running snaps 7.5 or. 6 don't recall ATM but the battery life is crazy
from the fade

Kings #9 is pretty close to the new stock kernel ...

I'm having the best luck with Netarchy's 4.1.9.1 beta on my 002 EVO. I don't even have to use SetCPU to underclock for more battery that's how nice the kernel is.

I agree with cMeka
I am running Baked Snack 1.7 ROM with Kings BFS#9 kernel and the battery life is awesome.
P.S. Battery life got even better on Kings #9 after uninstalling SetCPU. SetCPU interferes with H/AVS and defeats the purpose.
Good Luck!

okay i will but then how would I over clock the fone, or should i just not set up profiles?

Can someone explain the difference between kernels and roms? Also do you have to wipe in order to flash new kernels the same way you would a new rom?

Kernels basically control the hardware. Roms not so much hardware as software(trying to be real simple for ya). Wipe cache and davlik.

thnx that makes sense

I've got a noob question...... Can you flash just a kernel and just use a stock rom?
I'm rooted and just using clockworkmod, at the moment.

no, it isnt. none of the king kernels are. they are waaaay out of date, and it turns out, kingklick just stole most of the code from other devs. either use netarchy's newest, or ziggy's newest. thats mostly all you have for sense.

Personally, any sense rom can drain battery, but the best i have seen is Baked Battery Kernel. Awesome battery life and it is very fast.

oh not ota 3.70 based. that's probably why it works. any kernel not 15 based usually gets terrible results on 3.70 ota so i guess you found a loophole there . i did hear very good things about that kernel so glad to know it can still be applied to good work.

I am getting good results with ziggy (calkulin rom) and suggesting to try it.

Most of the time i do use Cyanogenmod instead because, everybody knows, it has a wayyyyyy better battery life. Sense needs an app freezer, like titanium backup pro, so that they dont just start up again.

I'm not opposed to using a different rom, I just haven't gotten in to that area yet. Where's a good place to read about "sense" and different types of roms and reasons for using particular ones? Appearance I guess is the main reason? I'm just about ready to dive of this cliff. Thanks!

Roms! What's your rom?

What kind of rom do you use?
I need help with some sick roms.
Nothing good on rom manager, anybody gonna Help me out? =)

Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo, done! Close thread...lol

There are many Rom's that are good.
It's just a question of which one you like and then stick with it.
I have tested just about all of them. But keep coming back to Fresh, I have been mainly on 3.3.0.1. If you donate to his cause you can also get his kitchen which lets you do more on it.
Plus there are so many themes that you can change it's look without really changing the ROM.
Good luck Flashing, and Remember Nandroid is your friend here.
Oh I also use amon_ra as it's been the best at clearing the Caches for flashing.

Vaekpak for minimal SENSE with 4g.
MIUI if 4g and MMS ever get resolved.

Really?
I guess we can just delete all the other ROM threads then too..

I'm on the latest Nightly with Snap BFS. Came from the DesireHD rom. That rom is the definition of sick, but unfortunately it's battery life is the worst I've seen on the Evo.

Calkulin's 1.3.1
Best rom I found. Myn's warm is nice too but I prefer calkulin's.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Go Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1
The kernel within is HTC updated which puts hit on battery life , netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1 cfs kernel is a excellent replacement.
That ROM & kernel combined provides stability top notch performance.

Sure, sounds good....How do we get that done?
J/K. There are some great Roms out there by many developers each offering it's own flavor....My personal favorite is Myn's. I might be biased here because of my HTC Vogue days and his ability to turn that device into a fully operating Android machine! His EVO Rom offers stability, speed, looks, and something that just says wow....
Also, if you want the next best thing but can live without some features and don't mind things not being perfect, check out Zippy's Desire HD Rom. Also Bcnices's MIUI Rom.
I am pretty sure Calkulin's Rom would be pretty close to perfect as I have ran his prior versions on my EVO and they have worked well.....Also check out Virus and Ava. I am sure I am forgetting some of the other top dogs out there.
Most of the developers have gotten a pretty good handle on there Roms so I suggest reading through them to see what the comments are within the thread which should help with your decision making.....
You can find most of the Roms within the first 2 pages.....If it has fallen below that, I would question it....

2nd that. I also use Calkulin's 1.3.1 and after adjusting oc profiles to 1152, I get amazing speed and battery life. Also did away with HTC scene for ADW and found all the widgets lost with HTC scene like music player and grid calendar. Really dumped HTC for ADW for landscape support. Just make sure to pick one as default because you will take a hit with both running.

I tried almost all the roms here and it depends of your flavor lol, anyways sense roms favorite is myns is just looks clean and functional with eye candy ha ha but fresh and calkulin Rom are good as well and fast and stable. I'm trying evervolv v 0.2 I it comes with the slate theme from desire HD dump Rom and it looks really good so far it looks stable, if you don't like sense then I hues CM 6 will be good, the other roms are great but never left them for over a day idk y ha ha, there is one that I like but I forgot the name and is new too. I think this guys are doing a great job with their roms that have manage to put something really good for us and they all deserve credit

If you want something that looks different and works great.
I recommend Evo Zone. It is by far the best looking Rom out here. It is original and creative in its look.
As far as battery life goes, you can try different kernels till you find the one that works best for you.

I really like Burnt Droid 1.2, Fresh 3.3.0.1 with netarchy 4.1.9.1 CFS and Ava Froyo v9 with Kings CFS #10.
These ROM's have been fast, stable & battery friendly for me.

I like Ava Froyo v9 with LowRider Theme Over It.
Also my rom Sexy Evo Has awesome download speeds, and a sexy rosie, but i dont update it that much.

Any Roms as solid as CM6 for the EVO?

The only 2 I've tried are MIUI and CM. Any recomendations

If you don't want Sense, probably not. I'm currently running the CM6 + Wimax alpha, which I really like.
As far as Sense ROMs go, Calkulin's EViO is my favorite.
FWIW, you're probably better off asking these kinds of questions in the Q&A forum.

I am also running alpha2. Mikfroyo is my fav sense rom. Sooperfast feel.

CM7 Nightlies are coming out tonight. You could try one of those once the first EVO build drops.

I seemed to have nothing but problems with CM6. There was a lot of churn with the different versions of ClockWork recovery, but even when I used RA Recovery I still had issues. I finally gave up and switched to VaelPak 3.0 with the netarchy 4.1.9.1 Kernel and all is well. Seems to be a solid combo for me at least.

On a semi related note will cm6 themes be compatible with cm7?

Same here loving the alpha wimax, so can't wait to have gingerbread mixed into the pot, and baked to pure awesomeness.

Agree that Calkulin's ROMs are very stable. He cooks some very nice ROMs. He is pretty reliable about updates and addressing issues. EViO line of ROMs are quick and they are stable. Have had the pleasure of using Cal's kitchens back in the WinMo days...he is one of the best!!

First off, wrong forum. This belongs in Q&A.
Second, this is all but insulting. There are at least 5 good ROMs on every page. Click on some and look at them. Are you too lazy to do the work yourself?
Finally, here are a list of ROMs that are all very good ROMs in my opinion. I hate to even respond to someone who's too lazy to do their own work, but I think the devs deserve credit for making other VERY GOOD ROMs:
Salvage 0.9.6 <-- My current, 2.3, most stable ROM I've ever used
Myn's Warm RLS5
MIUI
Evervolv is ok
Frost is great, but needs to be updated
MikFroyo

[Q] Battery Kernal?!?!

So I decided to root my evo a couple of days ago but I didnt flash any roms so Im still using the stock sense ui. Are there any good battery kernels to use with stock sense ui because Im having a hard time finding any? What do you guys suggest?

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...

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?

unlike others', ziggy's kernels are universal i.e. they work on both sense and aosp roms - i have been running them on all my roms except cm7. ziggy has not yet made a gb kernel.

If I flash one of his kernels, do I need to wipe/reformat my SD card? I'm running MIUI, so I'm curious what I need to do and if there's any special instructions to follow. Currently, I'm running Tiamat's 2.1.5.

Not only are they awesome for OCing but running a mild OC (1 notch above standard), with the min set to 128 I'm getting better battery life then the ever popular Lou's #8. YMMV
I'll try out the new ones here soon, I"m running the one form 1/22 I think.

Ziggys kernels never worked well on my DINC, but these latest ones are SWEET. Noticeably snappier than Lous #8.
