custom kernel comparison - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

noob kernel knowledge here.
is there a way to run test on different kernels to see which is more efficient or has an improvement? i'm about to flash ManU 2.0

For battery efficinecy - just the long run test.
Other way you can try test like - RL Benchmark, Quadrant, Antutu, Neocore, SD Speed Test etc.

i cant seem to find any other custom roms for desire besides ManU and MoDaCo Custom Kernel (MCK). are there any others out there and which is 'better'?

Hi.
I think you wanted to say "any other custom kernel for desire". If this is true take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328 at the 3rd post. There you have kernels for AOSP ROMS and Sense ROMS.
Hope it helps you.

Coutts was doing awesome kernel's but he abandoned project i think, you can still search the forums for it. (they are kinda outdated now)

kinda seems to me all the kernel are kinda like an 'in built' setCPU

Undervolt Kernal?? Would this work for the EVO?

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.

[Q] Kernels?

Ok... can someone please tell me what HAVS, CFS and SVS means?
HAVS - no idea
CFS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completely_Fair_Scheduler
SVS - no idea
lol... i guess google is my friend
HAVS (Hybrid Adaptive Voltage Scaling) What this does is provide SUPERIOR BATTERY
Really? Anyone else use these kernels? Whats the risk, is it risky like flashing a Radio?

No, only thing is some undervolted kennels might not be stable so always nandroid before changing kernel.

Brill - I have some Nandroid backups, so if anything goes wrong the recovery will still work, and I can restore... excellent. Thought so
AOSP Kernel for SENSE ROM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ#Kernel
here's a link with "all" neccesary informations
--------------------------------------------------------------
i would like to add a new question in this thread:
is it possible to use an AOSP Kernel like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893484
with my SENSE-ROM ? (currently using ReflexTSense http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791315 )
thx
No, at least I know that way. You have to use a Sense kernel with a sense ROM, like this to run without problems.
so there's no option to use newer Kernels with Sense-ROM's ..
thx for the information
Sorry to break into your thread, but does it work the other way round? I mean, is it possible to use a Sense kernel with an AOSP rom?
sense with asop and the other way
i tride som ASOP Kernel with my SensHD Rom and it worked "booting
i found a flickerning screen but it worked; i refalashed a sense kernel
i think that the other "Way" should also work with some "issues"
greetings..
ps: i somewhere on thos forum found a discussion between two ROM-Programmers about using ASOP Kernel in Sense roms.
As far as i remember they both found the conclusion that sense-kernel are using differetn Graphicdrivers so that a asop kernel never will run "full" with a sense-rom but the ASOP Kernel COULD be modded in "future"

[Q] Some questions~

hi i'm new using htc and i would like to ask why is there many type of rom and kernal versions? does it affects the phone much?

Some ROMS (leedroid, coredroid) are sense based, others such as cyanogen are striped down with all the bloat removed whilst others, miui for example are kinda left field.As for kernels some people want to overclock our undervolt their phone which is why you find the multitude of kernels.
tiny,as new in htc and sense,try first some sense roms like leedroid or revolution(these are the best for the moment) and then u can go in an aosp rom which are more fast and simples but not so beautifull for your eyes...
Thanks so much but which Rom is better leedroid or revolution?

At the moment, that's probably like asking what's better: PS3 or XBox360?
Why not try them both? Once you've done S-Off/root etc the first time, it's pretty quick to flash new ROM's.

[Q]Savaged-Zen Issue, or recommend a kernel for stock rom

I tried the latest Savaged-Zen froyo kernel and the speed is excellent but I get random horizontal lines on the screen. Especially on anything that loads or refreshes like the notification bar or facebook loading icon.
Never really flashed a custom ROM or anything, the only thing I did was install Rom Manager and added a recovery. I just want to be able to boost up the speed safely and I read kernels are the best way.
That's called screen tearing, so you should change. I recommend the savaged-zen froyo kernel, or since you're on sense, the net-archy kernels have good reviews.
And you flash a kernel just like a rom > wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the kernel.
I used to have screen tearing all the time but on tiamat I got none.

I already tried the Savaged-zen and i tried a few of their older froyo builds. I just realized that since I never flashed any custom ROMS my phone is still sense based and these kernals are AOSP based, is that the reason?

Absolutely, I was just about to inform you of that. Those kernels are only for AOSP roms. If you stay on sense, you need to try a Sense kernel. I have great luck with Netarchy's or Ziggy's kernels. Good luck

Cool, that makes sense. Netarchy's seems to pop up a lot in my research so I'll give it a go. And thanks for the comment, haha.
*Update: so far so good, I'm seeing much better frame rate but not as good as I was experiencing with Savaged-Zen. I never really used a benchmark to get actual numbers I'm mostly going by eye. I'm actually considering trying out various ROM's just to be able to use Savaged-Zen. What I love about Android is that I can easily customize the scrub way through apps, trying out custom Roms, themes or if I'm feeling brave I can go in and edit anything myself by replacing files. The community is great so new things are always coming out and I'm never bored with my phone.

Put a battery saving kernel on a Sense Rom w/ Stock Kernel?

I have ThunderSense v1, and I would like to know if there are any kernels that I can put on my HTC DESIRE CDMA to be able to undervolt using SetCPU. It is Sense 2.2 by the way.Thanks.

Set CPU Doesn't undervolt. It underclocks (Which in turn, lowers voltage).
Have a read here:
http://androidforums.com/desire-all...-bfs-axi-uvoc-published-20th-july-2011-a.html
well, still. is there a undervolted kernel that i can get?
Yes. All of them.
Did you see the "Everything desire is here thread"?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12350779&postcount=3
Thanks man. but i have ONE more question.. Will any of the sense kernels work on a CDMA? cause i know that alot of work done is just for GSM. I dont want to mess up my rom, i know i can do a nandroid. but still... lol
edit: This is a Froyo Sense Rom, and every kernel that i see on there, is for GingerSense... ):
Thats a very good question, which unfortunately I do not know. I have no experience of CDMA devices. Possibly not actually
Alright bro, thanks anyways.
I think the issue is that decent kernel source wasn't available for the not so widely used CDMA.
From what I can tell, many Sense Kernels will work, but its the radio that is an issue, more explicitly, WiFi breaks...
Yup, the kernel source is actually the same. The compiled binary that most people release has bravoc disabled in some drivers (for making the kernel marginally smaller in size, like the wifi driver you mentioned). In almost every source file, there are if blocks to check whether the device is bravo/bravoc/passion.

In which case, do you know of any where bravoc has not been commented out? Have yours?
I dont know alot about sense kernels.
I assume Like AOSP, froyo and GB require different kernels. But how about GB ACES port v Runnymede? Can they use the same kernels?

I haven't enabled the bravoc drivers either while compiling, though it's easy enough to enable it while building. Yup, my GB kernel's being used in a couple of the runny Ports and seems to work well. Don't know about Ace, but I believe the same kernel ought to work on it.
