I'm very new to MIUI and am now on Squeezed edition by Mr.Garak (lovely btw). From what I've been reading there are a few kernels out there which people swear by. The 2 most prominent ones seem to be Lord's and Talon. I'm on Talon 1.04 atm as it came with the rom I'm on (1.9.30)
Now to the questions...
What is the difference between the two? Is one focusing on speed and the other on batterylife?
Any major issues with either one? Which one should I go for when I want a troublefree fast rom with great batterylife using setcpu and no UVscripts?
And what governers are you guys using?
MIUI is CM7 based, so anly CM7 kernel should work. One piece of advise, if the kernel as a CFS and a BFS version, DO NOT USE the BFS one.
As to which kernel is better... it's highly relative. Try them both
IMO Talon is great when it comes to batterylife. It's also fast, but not as fast as Lord's, but again, the battery life is great.
Test them both and see for yourself.

Using talon 1.05 ATM, working very well.

I downloded and installed the latest version of virtuous sense and saw in rom manager there was 4 different kernels. Cyanogen, virtuous, evil, and htc stock and was wondering which kernal peoplee think is best at the momment and why? Thanks for the help

1.02 was solid as hell. I'm using 1.05 but have a few new programs running in the background and the battery life isn't as solid. Feels a bit snappier but it's hard to tell because I made a few changes. I'd probably suggest going with the latest kernel though.
Anyone else have any advice on best kernal thus far?

My opinion, when I was running Virtuous which wasnt but 2 weeks ago, was eViL kerenel 12-10-1 which is on rom manager.
if you check out the thread for it, rmk and evil post seperate kernels that arent found in rom manager. im running 1.05 right now and its pretty stable. just to be safe, use the default. on average for any kernel mostly with set cpu profiles, i get about 7-11 hours of battery life. (witth heavy texting, web browsing and light calls)
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.

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

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)

Tiamat has a nice kernel with the sbc added to it. I get around 16-20hrs on moderate use with it.

I tried kernel manager, but whenever I try to DL a kernel it pauses then drops me back at the kernel selection screen. All I really want is the current CM / CM nightly kernel(s) so that I can try Tiamat or some of the others but still have a fail safe to drop back to without flashing a whole ROM...sighs

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?

Hey Guys! I just hooked my buddy up with an incredible and got it all tweaked out for him except for a kernel. I have the EVO and it is surprisingly harder to find a kernel for the incredible so im hoping to lean on your guys knowledge! I have Carbonite Fusion v.5 ROM on it (sense based), and i have flashed it over to cricket! not sure if that last one means anything in the kernel business. Anyway im looking at mostly cell reception (i know thats the radio and prl mostly) if that is something that would vary between kernels. And then on a sidenote battery life. Let me know! thanks a bunch!!
Kernel shouldn't affect reception but can definitely impact battery life. For sense kernels, you have Chad's incredikernel (12/23), heyitslou kernels (there are five I think), and ziggy's (www.ziggy471.com). Heyitslou and Chad's have threads in the development section.

Hello XDA forum,
I am new here, and I was wondering..
I have rarity ROM v3.9.7,
the rom is amazing but I am unsure of the kernel I should be using.
What I want from the kerenl: Battery life is the most importent part, but also smoothness and stability.
I saw 2 options but I am unable to decice:
1: Siyah V 2.2 beta 9 kernel
2: Speedmod K2-18-test 3
I do not want to OC or mess around with voltages, I just want a good kernel for daily uses with good battery life.
Any suggestions?
Speedmod is working fine with me.
Good battery life , smoothness and stability
What version are you using?

use speedmod..download the latest version and do not touch anything and you should be fine..just flash like normal mate
hello i have the same question
i flash speedmod kernel with cwm but i have problem with cwm (without full fonctions )?
Any other suggestions?
As Post 4 said, Speed Mod it should be.
Now it all depends on you. If you want a kernel with UV/UC potential with a lot of Governors then go for Siyah, but if you are like me, who loves simple things, then Speed Mod should be the one.
K2-18 is still under observation by Hardcore, as well as K2-17. The last fixed release is K2-16. Now you choose which one you want.
Regards.
Thank you for your answer,
I want the version which is most stable, reliable, and long lasting battery there is.
I tested both siyah and speedmod .i think the best is siyah kernel with sensation rom by crysis the battery life is more than excelent

SpeedMod - for battery improvement
Syiah - for phone performance

Corrected siyah for flexibility lot of options totally customizable.
If correctly done better battery life than speedmod or in another way awesome performance.
SpeedMod no nonsense install forget. Good battery life and rock stable.

I'm currently using Siyahkernel 2.2beta9 (later does have launcher-lag Q.Q for me) with the lulzactive guvernor. I've tried a lot of different kernels and I find this one to be the best considering perfomance, smoothness and batterylife. I've used the kernel to greatly undervolt both my CPU and GPU with great stability. I do recommend this one.
EDIT: Using the 14th beta and it's awesome! (ment undervolt before, not underclock!)
I'm currently using Siyah 2.1 with SavagedZen governer. Battery life is excellent and performance not bad either - more than suitable for my needs.
As other posters have suggested, Speedmod is a great 'flash and forget' kernel with good battery life and performance - very balanced. I'd give it a go if you don't want to mess about with undervolting or governers
By the way, your posted this question in the wrong forum this is SGS2 Accessories forum...
I was wondering. I have viper x 3.3.7 with the latest kernel they provided. I had the ncx kernel before on 3.3.6. What I mean is which is the best kernel to choose that offers oc, uv, better battery life or performance or both?
I want to hear suggestions not a war.

Every device is different. One kernel might run fine on one device but not another so I think it is a pointless question tbh. But I prefer xm

Try all the top three currently available
In no particular order:
1. XM Kernel
2. NCX Kernel
3. kozzmik kernel
:good:
You have to try the various kernel.
Because every device have a different version of tegra 3.
In fact, every device support a different uv and oc
For sense the stock kernel is the best and the most stable
for AOSP I think ncx is the best
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
NCX is for sure amazing for balance between performance and battery but Kozmikkick is just as good if not a bit more powerful with less battery life.
This is the problem with this question - it has a different answer depending mostly on the USE of the device - which is why everyone has a different view on which kernel is better or worse.
I've tested a few on AOSP (NCX, XM, Trip's and... er... sorry - I can't remember the last one right now!) and PERSONALLY I go with NCX, because it's the default for my rom (so one would think it's heavily tested) and it has very good battery life and the performance EASILY covers anything I throw at it.
XM does sound like it's more geared towards performance than the NCX, but as I said I didn't notice it - everything ran just as smooth, either kernel for me.
All of them
Thread Closed
There is no "best" Kernel. I suggest you read through the posts in the dev section and try a few. Its best to make up your own mind based on your needs. Everybody has a favourite, so discussions can get over heated. Thats why the moderation team generally closes "best" threads.
