Hydra kernels problems

Just tried every kernel Hydra has to offer and every one put my phone into a bootloop. Had to revert back to stock.
Any tips to get these working?

I used the OC/UV ov, kernel #2 from Hydra. It was working ok but made my keyboard really laggy.
Sent from my rooted Incrediblę

My keyboard is sometimes laggy but usually really fast. I've isolated the issue to the dictionary, I'm sure if auto suggest was off you wouldn't notice it.
Although, after using it for a day, the keyboard lag seems to have gone. Maybe it was repopulating or something.. no idea in this department.
Edit: these kernels are meant only for froyo

CM7 android system too high.

Okay so I noticed that even with the Tiamat kernal my battery life hasn't been great. I always see above 60% android system usage. I recently did the "GPS FIX" but I never upgraded my pri or NV. I need some help, I may skipped a step.

I would update all of your radios. Also, I think in settings under privacy, unclick back-up. Also, have you considered turning down how often your phone syncs?
It also could be a rogue app stealing resources... Let's start with my first suggestion, radios are in my Sig.

Okay this is weird, I turned off background data and now no system use. Is that saying it's a rogue app?

How many days was it high android use?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Ever since I flashed the GPS fix but possibly after Google+ app. Either way its at 81% usage.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

It's still high as hell ATM. 77% consumption. I don't understand. Wish I could get some help.

There is a fix for it you'll have to search for it I only saw it once
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Someone had a link for me in their sig but they changed it...and I searched to no avail. Sad cause I don't want to ditch cm7 for something so dumb. Just want my GPS to work without having my android system through the roof. Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo is on the other line. -.-

I had the same problem. Here's the fixes I did before I finally just ditched CM7
I updated my radios (and everything else).
All my syncs were on 4 hour intervals (except weather = 1 hour)
lowered screen brightness
uninstalled facebook, g+ and gVoice (my 3 highest used apps).
rebooted about 6 times
held it wrong
prayed to the gods of android
flashed Synergy RC2
So if you were considering doing those, don't. They aren't the problem.
Ironically, my GPS has never had a problem on any aosp rom (and I've tried darn near all of them), but like you, even with the kernels my stuff just wouldn't work right. I think it has something to do with our phones just not liking the kernel. Give toastch's "godmode" kernel a try or flash back to stock to see if that helps.

Ok so switch kernals or just switch to synergy?

What kind of battery life are you getting?

I am using GM that is baked with the ROM and it works great. I tried Freedom and I received a lot of FC. I set SetCPU to 998/245 and I am getting around 15 hrs with moderate use.

So if i use the stock kernel and setcpu app with this rom, will this make any difference on performance &/or battery life?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I'm getting 14-15 hours with light use.You can use setcpu with the stock kernel to enforce lower clock speeds with the screen off.The newer kernels may have it built in but I prefer to use setcpu so I know exactly what's happening.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

TY! I got 15 hrs on stock and no setcpu, but something i did notice about this rom is the display goes to the top brightest setting on its own and the icons disappear from the home screen after a reboot.... but awesome rom so far!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Havnt run into the brightness issue,for the apps disappearing,after a reboot,choose a scene other than the one you normally run and then change it back to the one you normally use and the icons will be back to normal.

Poonsense runs pretty good with it, also has the hdmi mirroring which i love to use

Disabling TW Dialer?

Lately, the dialer app has been using way too much battery for some reason. It says 68% as of now. I don't get what makes it use so much battery, especially since I use "GO contacts" as an alternative.
So I want to disable it all together. I tried freezing with Titanium Backup, but it doesn't seem like it's working. It just stays on the "Freezing..." message forever.
Any ideas?

check Usb debugging before freezing?

You could try a dif launcher. I was always a adw guy, but I haven't been getting forcecloses with the ics one since the last release.

How to stop launcher restarting?

Does anyone know of any fix for launcher restarting ? I am on stock ics and have not long done a fresh install of Rom using pc companion. It is rooted with bootloader unlocked using testpoint and I have removed some system apps bloatware using list from xda. I don't want to install a third party launcher or even a launcher from another xperia phone just want to know if there's a fix to stop launcher from restarting. It happens after leaving an app all the icons and launcher need to refresh and its really annoying. I have latest beta of greenify app installed and sefix app installed and have 160mb left on phone memory.

If you don't want to flash a custom ROM then run supercharge script.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Don't want to run supercharger it doesn't work have tried it multiple times it always causes problems. I am thinking of going back to gingerbread might be the way to go or new phone this one has had its time I think.
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app

I ran supercharger on stock gingerbread and phone was way faster. I can't say how it was on ICS, because all custom ROMs come pre-rooted.
If you won't miss ICS features, and care about stability and speed, then go for GB.
Or buy a new phone if you have money

So would you recommend nexus 4 or wait for new one to come out.
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app

If you can afford Nexus 4 then get one - it's a wonderful device and in my opinion you won't need a new nexus or any other phone for years.
But if I were you, I would try some custom ROMs first. They are a lot better than stock. It's free and you will feel like you have a new phone. I was playing with custom ROMs on Arc for over year and decided it's time to move on
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

ICS ROMs require additional tweaking for Supercharge script to work properly due to different services.jar file.
I can't guide you, because I do not have access to such things at the moment.

Ive tried the ics setup it didn't work the fact is this phone can't handle certain apps mainly games so uses CPU when I come out of these apps its taking it'd time booting everything up again just got to face the fact its old and needs replacing.

The smoothest I had on Arc was supercharged gingerbread. No ICS ROM came close to that.
And your problem isn't CPU - it's low RAM.
If you thinking about switching devices and have any questions about nexus 4 then you can ask me
