I was a happy user of SavagedZen kernels for a good while but it seems they have been abandoned for the Evo and I'm looking for the latest & greatest in battery life/performance to use with CM7.1. Tiamat has been updated more recently, but it's been a while, plus I hear mixed things about the 2.6.38 kernels.
What's the latest & greatest in EVO AOSP kernel land?
Tiamat + vipermod = game winner. The latest tiamat works fine for me, but 3.3.7 has the BEST battery life.
Anybody else want to weigh in?
I'm in agreement with teh roxxorz.
The kernel choices aren't a plenty.
Godmode is a choice too.
Is Tiamat 3.3.7 still working well for you guys with the latest CM7.1 nightlies? I'm getting a lot of FCs.

Just a show of hands basically, because both of these guys keep updating their kernels back to back it seems.
I personally use tiamat 3.3.3, these kernels have been good on my battery, and are pretty fast.
Which do you prefer?

I agree Tiamat has been awesome for me...i had too much chopiness with salvaged-zen and i personally like the SBC addition to kernels and they stopped updating it with SBC i saw...but as far as battery life and smoothness goes, i choose Tiamat, hands down.
Tiamat is great, but there is something up with bluetooth audio in his kernels. It's like the audio doesn't use the mic to auto cancel sound or something. Can't really put my finger on it. All I know is that when talking to the fiance after work on the way home in the car on yesterday, all she heard was road noise. Switched back to SZ and today its gone. Gonna wait a couple of revisions and try it again

Savaged Zen here. I tried Tiamat for a while, but I kept getting random reboots no matter what I tried. The first SZ I used was .9 bfs havs, and it worked great. Currently on .1.2 cfs and no problems.
Savaged Zen All the way. Especially now (this is from march) the 2.6.38 line, im on the newest 2.0.2 and Its super smooth, I havent seen the slightest hint of any instability, and it rips on benchmarks and games
Any Tiamat kernel sends me into random soft reboots, almost once every half hour or so. I can get it to stop by flashing ViperBoy's raise voltage script. Then it runs quite smooth and stable, however battery life sucks for me (probably from raising voltage) Savaged Zen gets my vote, it just agrees with my device way better for some reason, especially 2.0 CFS.
SavagedZen works better for me than Tiamat. Had them both and both worked well but I like running BFS on my phone and the SavagedZen governor is a great governor for battery life and performance.
timat is really stable on my phone, but sz has always been much faster... now that he new sz fixed my problems, im staying with it
I'm a fan of savaged but I'm cool with tiamat, still looking for a happy home. Im on SZ 2.0.2 which is giving me good battery life but still has the BS wimax bug. I ran tiamat a couple weeks ago for a few days but I swapped out once the random reboots started. Wish CM7, one of the best roms, also came with the best kernel.
Sent from the moon, Alice says hi.
I have recently flashed MIUI 1.8.12 but seems the stock kernel is abit behind on battery performance and audio boost. So which kernel out of the two is better in both the respects I've mentioned?
Lordmod 6.9 is better all round.
Regards
I have only used LordMod's kernel and it has been absolutely fantastic. Haven't yet had a reason to try Tiamat's kernel but give it a go in the future.
Tiamat? who is he?
hey everyone, I just came from the dinc (died on me) and my insurance gave me the dinc 2 and i am looking to get it back to what i had before. on the dinc i was using cm7 as I thought is was the better of the aosp's now i come to the dinc2 and it is still in nightly phase so I ask what aosp would you recommend?
tl:dr CM7 as senseless rom or is there a more stable one? OMGB for example
Actually, the CM7 nightlies are doing quite well. It won't be long before you see an RC, that's for sure. I tried running CM7 with the Tiamat kernel and got amazing results, but I was never a fan of barebones AOSP.
Cm7 is really good. I haven't loaded the last few nightlies because there haven't been any changes. I'm using JDkernel as I had some crashes with Tiamat. On my device JD is stable to the top setting of 1920mhz, although my quadrant scores don't improve over 1593mhz.

Definitely more than good enough for your daily driver. I rooted 4? days ago and have been running the last few nightlies and have had zero issues.
I too came from the Odinc and CM7 is as good here as it was there so far.
CM7 is my favorite because its options, it's polished, stock kernel is flexible and gets me to ~1500mHz with outstanding battery life. The key is it delivers superior performance and battery life while being "stock" CM. I'm referring to the nightlies throughout.
I am a little bummed to see the nightly updates seemed to have stalled a bit since CyanogenMod (the Man) was signed at Samsung. http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vivow
Thanks for the info guys, now can I ask, how are you getting those numbers with OC-ing and what are you using to adjust the frequency?
another satisfied CM7 customer here...I've been running the nightlies for the greater part of a month (with the Tiamat kenel) and I couldn't be happier
you can set CPU frequency within CM7 settings, for more detailed control you'll need something like SetCPU
This is just a place where you can tell everyone your favorite kernel and maybe why too. I need help finding a nice kernel and i'd like some other peoples opinions.

AOSP - SavagedZen or Tiamat
People have been having problems wit Tiamat 4.0.8 but mine was fine at the time
SENSE - PoonSense v2.3.3 or Golden Monkey v1.1
Both are freakin amazing with sense ROMs when it comes to Battery Life
Well it all depends:
Sense- ChopSuey 9.1
Aosp- either Tiamat 3.3.7 or 4.0.8
sense and aosp! sorry
it seems like when i put chopsuey on any of my roms, my phone becomes vert hot, and it's battery life is gone within 30 minutes, no exageration. idk why but yeah
AOSP - Tiamat 4.0.8 SBC
Sense - Freedom V0.9 Aggressive/More/Less/Stock (whichever your phone likes most)
Pretty generic answers, you'll get probably the same answers from everyone else to a certain extent. This is a question that has been answered many, many times.
So I'm looking at putting a new ROM and kernel on my Evo. I've got Swagged Out Stock on it currently, but I'm not completely happy with it. I still want better battery life. And yes I run only 3G, Wifi/4G/Bluetooth/GPS turned off, the works. Battery life still sucks for me.
I find myself with a lot of choices here, though, and I'd just like some suggestions/opinions on the following ROMs. It's quite a chore to me having to switch ROMs and recustomize my phone each time.
Fresh Evo 4.2 (and the Fresh Toast kernel to go along with it)
CM7
EViO Series 3
Elite Series 3
MikG
Which ROM do you like and why?
Also, I have a question on the Freedom kernel. I might try it out, but there are different versions of it, Stock, More, Aggressive, etc. I looked around on the website and I can't find anything on the differences between each version. I get the gist by the name, but I want to know the actual differences. Can anyone help me out with that?
King bliss beta v7 with chopsuey kernal.I have not had any lag what so ever very smooth and fast.

Used mikg with more freedom for while then switched to bliss

Freedom Kernel: the names relate to the degree that they are undervolted. Stock is volted like the stock HTC kernel. Less is undervolted -75mv. More, undervolted -125mv. Aggressive, undervolted -175mv. Good thread to read about kernels here. Do not overclock when undervolted. Besides, overclocking is overrated. Underclocking your phone saves battery.
The ROMs you named are somewhat older, except for MikG and CM7.
MikG is sorta more recent, but it is at its "stable" point and shouldn't really receive any more updates.
CM7 is a work-in-progress. It is a never-ending process, but it is stable for Evo 4G. Always adding new stuff. It works very well, but some people say it is sorta bloated. Popular alternatives are Deck's AOSP and SalvageMod 1.4
EViO, Fresh and Elite are based on stock Evo 4G HTC Sense 1.0 stuff. EViO and Fresh are not really themed, only a few tweaks and few visual modifications. Elite is themed heavily (it is still Froyo-based).
They are all good ROMs. If you want heavily themed Elite, pair it with Netarchy-toastmod kernel. If you want a Gingerbread ROM, I suggest Poon or ChopSuey kernel.
Read my signature for suggestions.
Always read the OP and through comments. For example, Runnymede. You have to mount data in recovery before flashing a custom kernel.
