best kernel for stock 2.2 rom?

so, i get a hair up my butt every couple weeks or so and load up a new rom. there are certainly some good ones out there (thanks to all you coders!). but i always wind up going back to stock. between the features of sense and the stability and the non-fc's, it just seems to work best for me.
but, if i could eek a little more performance out of the stock rom, i wouldn't say no to that. so, can anyone recommend a kernel that runs well on the stock rom (no fc's!) and can get me a little more oomph? there seems to be quite a few, and instead of trial and error, i thought someone here might know...
thx!

I think he meant stock as in Sense, not Vanilla/AOSP.

thx, guys. yes, I did mean the stock rom w/sense.

I am using Inc-Re-Engineered, and so far, I love it. So much faster, completely customizable, and all around kickass.
I would recommend it to anyone.

thx for the suggestion, cleveratticus. not really what i was asking, though...

i have the same question, i dont want to flash a new rom if i can get good kernel that might extend battery life. ive been looking a while and it looks like i might have to finally try the heyitslou kernel

HeyItsLou's #8 never fails me on stock sense/Redemption. Ever.
Awesome battery life, smooth as butter.

ya, but i need multi-touch. well, maybe i dont NEED it, but i want it for games and such

Then try his #7... it supports 3-10 multi touch. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859337

what does 3-10 multi touch mean?? also, are any of these able to be overclocked by setcpu?

it means you can use from 3 to 10 fingers simultaneously.

okay, cool. i got lou's #9 installed and running. thx for the tip, tim.ton.

None of Lou's custom kernels are meant to be overclocked, as far as I know.
If you're looking for one that does, try one of Ziggy's.

I personally like Chad's incredikernals. Great battery and oc'd to 1113

The most stable kernel and best on battery that I have used is the virtuous custom kernel (v3). It has worked great with several roms I have used.

Im running chads 12/23 kernel for sense and it gives me great battery life (which for me is 16-20 hours) and im running magnolia 1.1.1 rom

+1 ...his kernels rock with sense and battery life!!!

Lou's #9 has given best battery life for me on virtuous, redemptive, and warm 2.2 roms. Quadrants scores are also on par if not better with it

not to take anything away from lou or his work, but that kernel wound up not working well for me; lots of hangs and fc's. went back to the stock kernel today and everything is *****en! thx to all for your input.

[Q] Best Kernel for EVO running CM7

I flashed CM 7 a while back and love it, but as always I feel as though I'm not getting the best battery life. With moderate use I'm lucky not to have to plug it in halfway through the day.
Any good kernel recommendations for good battery life? I'm testing SavagedZen's kernel and using it's governor currently. I find it to have excellent life while the phones asleep, but it's a battery hog when I'm using the phone.

GoDm0dE has done wonders for my battery life! Your mileage may vary as all EVO's seem to be slightly different.

Im having a great exp with SZ 2.1.0. Try using the BFS version of the latest savagezen; As to me it seems the savagezen governor works best with their rom versus cm7(if that's what ur using). I personally run conservative or ondemand with a max of 1113 and 245 min. You could also try the new toast godmode kernel! Here's some general info I think you might find helpful.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894880

I've tried a million different kernals and personally I think CM7 just still has some battery issues to work out.
What has become a frustration of mine is that I continually get different results with the same items. In other words. Some days I'll be using the same kernal and ROM release and even the same programs and my battery will disolve right before my eyes while sudden then I'll get great battery life for a day or two.
Personaly I think it has something to do with 3g and wifi issues, because I seem to have random issues with those as well . . . but I don't know enough about all this to back that up with anything more than anecdotal observation.

CM7 + Timat Kernel = EPIC WIN.
If you flash, only use version 3.3.7 or 3.3.8 as 4.0.0 is breaking some cameras.

Toastcfh's GoDm0dE Kernel gets my vote, and that's coming from Tiamat 3.3.8 with the -100mv script from Viperboy. The Godmode kernel is by FAR much smoother and has gotten me better battery life. Toastcfh works on Cyanogenmod so you know it'll run well with CM7

I'm getting the best battery life from this combo, using 3.3.8
I just started using CM7 last week and also love it.

Image give God mode a shot n see how that works out....if not ill go back to tiamat until they fix the issue's wit the 4.0

Tiamat 3.3.7sbc w viperboy...what kind of battery do you have?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Not sure if this helps anyone, but running godmode at 245/1113 vs tiamat at 245/1267, performance governor on both, I benchmark much better on godmode. I know there's a lot more to consider than that but with a lower clock it surprised me how well godmode did. IIRC I got 1333 on quadrant.

Can anyone point me in the direction where I can find the original CM7 kernel to have on hand to switch back to should I so desire? I want to play with some other kernels, but I always like to have the original sitting by just in case, ya know? Currently running CM nightlys with 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-01504-gdc28eac [email protected] #1
Any input would be welcomed (ok, any constructive input hah)

Yeah, I have the tiamat kernel...what I cannot seem to find anywhere, XDA, CM forums, way too much google digging, is the CM kernel to fall back to if I do not like the results I get with tiamat.
To sum it up...
What I have:
Tiamat, Savage, godmode, and every other custom kernel...but CM
What I am seeking:
CM kernel in flashable form, and if kernel manager is the magical answer, can someone PM me and you can email it to me since the manager fails to work for me?

Best ROM for EVO4G? (best battery life?)

Which ROM is the best ROM for the Evo4G? The most famous ROMs that I always read about is Cyanogen and MIUI?
which has a better battery life?

I'm using cm7 and thimat kernal not bad so far

Try them both...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

In my experience MIUI and CM are on similar footing when it comes to battery; it could go either way since they are both pretty similar (MIUI is based off of CM).

World peace with no regard for human life.

If you like Sense, I recommend the MikG 2.45 rom. You can then experiment with the new Freedom kernels (currently at version 0.8, with varying versions (stock, less, more, aggressive) which have different degrees of undervolting built in for improved battery life.

I went ahead and tried CM7 on the EVO 4G and it works flawlessly.
I'm sure I can save more battery life if I use SetCpu profiles? Is it o.k. to use setCPU profiles with the kernel that comes with CM7? Or is there a better kernel to use?
Also, i prefer SetCPU profiles because I can use the screen-off profile to underclock and save battery when my phone is not in use.

Miui is not based off of cyanogenmod. Miui is better anyway. IMO that is.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I love sense 3.0 Roms and you should definitely try one of kings Roms and any other out there. Anyways, if you like aosp then you should def try decks. Great on battery and works flawlessly. His Rom also has the cyanogen settings to overclock and go into detail with your phone
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I have to say Decks ROM is the best I've used. Its very stable and smooth as silk. Using the SavagedZen with BFS Kernel got me excellent battery life...

So far its out of Kinged kingdom or Kings Alliance. My kid sat on my phone and played gun bros for about 4 hours yesterday around midday 10ish - 2 o'clock and the battery still had a little juice left(had not been charged since like 7am). Alliance is a little better to me only cuz it has the hacked hotspot(no error 67).

The Baked Snack ROMs are renowned for battery life.

Been rocking sense lately but nothing beats decks + savagedzen + vipermod + supercharger v6 for battery life and performance.

Miui syncs up with the cyanogenmod tree quite frequently actually. While its not based off of cm their vendor trees are.

ROM Recommendations.

I Would Prefer an AOSP ROM,but last time i did that the PRL was outdated and my coverage was such garbage i had to use wifi.if i flash the latest radio and whatnot,THEN an aosp rom,which one?...im not big on sense,i have alot of apps,so apps2sd enabled is preferred,possibly a custom kernel but idk if the evo can even be safely over/underclocked.and also,i had an amazing experience with godmode in synergy,is there any other rom that comes close to that kinda performance...im being picky hell id cook my oen,but no PC.
Shooter Evo 4G

Cm7 latest version with Tiamat 3.3.7 kernal. Can get 24 hours depending on usage.

Whats a good sense rom thats stable?i mean everything ive seen has somethin messed up like 4g,sms errors...multiple bugs.i need something stable,where u dont need to keep flashing back n forth.froyo gingerbread i dont care my main concerns are a smooth performance with optimal battery life,i possibly wanna put in an SBC kernel....
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

How about for myself.
I have my EVO flashed over to MetroPCS and currently have Metrodroid2.2 running on the phone. Would I be best to continue running with that ROM, or switching over to CM7.1 along with a patch from the Metrodroid thread for MMS?
What is best for me?

Give the latest SalvageMod AOSP ROM a try you can use Tiamat's SBC kernel if that's what you prefer. Coming from CM7, I like this one more.

Ive tried r3charged,i had multiple sms errors,now im on stock rooted deodexed,i havent had any issues.by stable i mean a RC that has no bugs.i know that may be asking alot,but i cant afford to not have all my features intact.also,i had issuea with multiple different AOSP roms,poor signal and weaker wifi,even with the latest radio combo pack....so im gunna steer clear of CM7.

but isn't tiamat on 4.1.0, why use 3.3.7?

I think it has alot to do with your hardware and rom/kernel combo. I'm on hardware 004. Currently running Xplod 2.1.3 with SavagedZen 2.2.1 cfs havs+ sbc. Great battery life and the phone is incredibly snappy. Funny thing, when I run the Savagedzen aosp rom I have better results with tiamat... Go figure.
Best thing I could tell you for advice is try alot of different rom/kernel combos and see what works best for you and your hardware. Remember to always give a new combo a day or two to "settle in", as they always seem to level out.
Anyways thats my .02, hope I helped. Good luck to you and happy flashing!

The SVZ Manager comes with a toggle switch so you can switch SBC on and off whenever you want. It also has an option to maintain your desired setting whenever the phone reboots. I just have SBC turned off all the time and dont have to worry about resetting my choice each time the phone reboots.

I use UOT Kitchen to modify a number of different things within the ROM such as notification icons, notification bar style and color, overscroll, boot animation, etc. I've included the zip file I used to get my Evo to look exactly the way it does in the picture below. Just put zip file in root folder, boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, flash uot zip file, boot into android and open up Theme Chooser, select UOT theme, click Apply, and enjoy. However, you can go to http://uot.dakra.lt/how_to/ to see how to customize one however you want. The possibilities are endless.
Remember, as with any flashable material you use the file at your own risk.
Here are some images of the other things my zip file below modifies.
