Just tried Nil's Business gingersense rom. I like it. Doesn't seem to be as sanppy as CM 7 but maybe it will show the 3G bars correctly. I don't have enough posts to pose this question in the Nil's thread so I'll post it here. Can you overclock with this ROM? I know you can't use setcpu. If so, what is a recommended ROM?
No you cannot overclock, as it's the stock kernel. I don't understand the last part of the question, If so what is a recommended ROM...? Do you mean kernel? I know there were a couple of people in that thread the said Hydra's and someone else's kernel worked for Nils' ROM, but I haven't seen a post updating how stable/unstable it is.
Sorry, I meant kernel. I switched away from Nils' as it was missing a few features I wanted. I had CM 7 for a while but now I am back to Virtuous.
Once the GingerSense kernel source code is released, it's game on for custom kernels.

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

Kernal for HTC Hero w/undervolt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722073
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.
I've stopped paying complete attention to the forum so whats the word on kernels? I'm running the new virtuous stock kernel. Has the source for this come out yet? Are ziggys kernels better then this? I get confused by the kernel number since some have newer looking number but are in fact older like kxk
Heres some pretty basic questions for yall:
1)
I need a AOSP kernel. No "Trickling battery" please, I don't want my battery exploding next to my head while I sleep. Needs to be stable. Needs to have HAVS. Needs to be able to run Cyangenmod7. Lastly, it needs to be CMF, or non-brain ****ing whatever.
2)
I need to know what custom ROM i should download. I'm undecided with the whole sense vs. non-sense thing. Partially because I don't know what sense is. (im assuming its some sort of UI?). Something with a different look than stock 2.2 at least. Needs to be stable. Should be Froyo-derived. Needs to be activly upgraded, but not nightly or in beta (with the exception of Cyangenmod7)
In essence, which is the best coustom rom in your opinion?
3)What is Sense? Is it what allows you to drag-n-drop icons?
4) I need a non-AOSP kernel incase the most popular ROM doesn't have support for AOSP.
Thanks.
And I did do a bit of searching in the developers section, but all I found were beta or alpha releases with trickling charges enabled.
I decided on Savaged-Zen Kernel 2.6.37-ck1 kernel and a CM7 nightly build. full-18.. I hope this works >.< All my other attemps have been faulty.
I want to start of by apologizing if this is a question that is answered somewhere else. I DID search and checked all of the 'similar threads' before posting.
I am wondering what the difference is between a froyo kernel and a gingerbread kernel. I don't really need super specific technical details, just the semi-technical general answer.
The reason I ask is because I am running the Incredibly Re-engineered (v2.3.2) with the incredikernel v2.6.32.27 and noticed that the incredikernel thread got updated.
Incredikernel Thread
In the update, there is listed a froyo and a gingerbread specific kernel. Do you have to chose a specific one for a specific rom? If so, how do you know which one to chose.
My About Phone screen shows "Android Version 2.2" so I assume that means I need the froyo kernel?
Edit: I also noticed that I didn't finish the thread title. I meant to put Froyo or Gingerbread Kernel... Can this be changed after posting? I'm not the best with forums.
You are exactly correct, you would use the Froyo kernel. Froyo is 2.2, Gingerbread is 2.3, and you need to use a kernel for whichever version of Android you are running.
Perfect. Thank you very much.
the gingerbread kernels are for gingerbread based roms like CM7 you want the froyo one if you are still running android OS 2.2 ( look in the "about phone" tab in settings to confirm. also keep in mind that there are differant froyo kernels as well there is sense based kerners and AOSP kernels.
So the sense based kernels are based off of the HTC kernel? and AOSP is the completely open source project done by the community? How do you find out which type of rom you are running, other than looking on the forum/web page? Is there a spot in your phone settings that will list this? I've never seen one that I can remember.
Well, it's a matter of what flavor of Android the kernel is made for that determines if it's a Sense kernel or an AOSP one. As far as determining the ROM type, I am not aware of anything that specifically gives it away other than the general feeling of Sense verses the general feeling of AOSP; with Sense you have all the HTC widgets and apps, unless it's a Sense-less ROM.
TL;DR, your best bet is to just note what kind of ROM it is when you download.
Ok. Thanks for all of the help.
Hopefully any other newbies out there who have the same questions might get some use from this too.
You are certainly welcome.
Do all kernells work with all roms???
an does this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682419
work with the rom:RCMixHD
No,ASOP kernels are for ASOP roms like Oxygen,CM7,DeFrost (= non-Sense UI ROMs) and Sense kernels are for ROMs with Sense UI. RCMix is Sense ROM. No shure about that kernel,but it seems like krenel for non-Sense ROMs.
asop kernels work for roms like cm7, redux, ginervillian etc. senmse kernels work for sense roms like leedroid 2.2. rcsmixhd is a 2.3.3 gingersense rom which needs a gingersense kernel. so far, there is only the leaked gingersense kernel. thats it thats all. youll have 2 wait until the official kernel source code is released b4 they can creaate custom overclocked undervolted kernels
Sorry to interfear in Ts's topic, but i thought my question is somewhat realated.
Are the kernals included in the roms. or do you have to flash a apropriat kernal yourselve?
Same question goes for radio and i flashed a wifi N thingy my previous rom advised. do i have to undo those things before installing a new rom?
lnodder: custom ROMs include kernels already, but you always have the option of flashing a differenet kernel. Be careful to distinguish what kind of kernel you're flashing vis-a-vis what ROM you have (Sense, non-Sense, etc)
Radios by and large don't need to be flashed/reflashed if they're working fine. Flashing radios improperly is one of the biggest causes of bricked cellphones.
Okay thnx for the info.
But in case of an update from froyo to gingerbread. you do need to update the radio?
At least here the dev. states "Requirement:
Latest Radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08"
