What kernel is best for cm7? I'm currently on stock cm7 kernel, I just want a fast and stable kernel for everyday use.

For aosp roms I would personally recommend EViollets latest ManU test kernel 2.0.2
Don't let the fact it is a test kernel put you off, it's very stable, very quick, and good battery life.
Find it here...

(bottom of the second post).
Hope it helps.
How about tiamat and vork?
I prefer Tiamat's. I don't know, it just works better for me compared to ManU. To each his own.
ManU works great. Best for battery for me.
Kudos on using the saying correctly btw. It is "to each his own" not "each to his own" which really annoys me for some reason

Kernels are packaged in flashable zip. So yeah flash it. Do nandbackup as usual. You don't need to wipe unless someone more knowledgeable here says otherwise.

you can use kernel cleanup script, you can fine it in the xda form "ultimate_kernel_cleaning_script_v2_by_lippol94.zip",
flash this first then flash the new kernel zip.
Reboot into recovery.
Wipe dalvik cache.
Flash new kernel.
Reboot.
Done
ManU has always been a great kernel for me, Tiamat constantly rebooted my phone.
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
Personally, ManU would be the kernel of choice.
Have yet to be disappointed

I've always liked the thalamus kernel and a mod 8 version I'm currently using. It works great with Redux 2 and oxygen

Indeed. Won't work with redux 1.2, cm, gingervillain, Miui or dgb though. Different camera drivers you see. So depends on the Rom
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
I tried several kernels (including stock, tiamat, thalamus etc) but I will have to concur - ManU-HAVS kernel has been great so far and I've been using it for a couple of months now. It's very stable and very battery efficient.

I know not every rom/kernel will play the same on everyone's phone, but I am just trying to get an idea. So what do you guys think is the best ASOP Gb rom, and what kernel for it. I should mention that I am worried more about battery life then anything, so please keep that in mind.

I've found nightlies to be as stable as the "stable" builds but I'd check out 7.0.2.1 if you're new to CM.

I wiped cache and dalvik cache and then flashed the zip, and it still showed I was on 66. I was trying to flash 67.

As the name suggests I am trying to install CM7 using leaked build 4.5.3-109(Defy+) as base. (nand+fixed sbf)
I change rom's almost everyday so thought what the heck. Apparently downloaded a game yesterday which apparently doesn't wanna work with the Gingerbread 2.3 build so here goes nothing.
Here are some benefits I see to it.
1.Original 2.3 module/kernel.
2.4th cpu frequency (clk) for Overclocking.
Have you ever tried it!? What build you used as base !?
Leave your experiences below.
Edit: Ok if yer on leaked 2.3.4 ->
1.Open custom recovery
2.Wipe data (yep it will not boot otherwise)
3.Wipe Cache and Dalvik cache
4.Install CM7 and you're good to go!
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
Yes! It works, no force closes so far completely stable.
Installed latest 2ndinit and the 4th clk seems to be working checked using CPU SPY.
EDIT:
Warning! Do not replace default bootmenu. It worked for me at first boot but after that it doesn't boot at all.

Is there any increase in performance with the gb kernel? Are the touch buttons still bright?
I find it a lot more stable. Speed is no complaint either , its zipping fast. No bright softkeys.

interesting idea, i've always though how could defy+ owners do to get cm7
It works! I tried cm7 rc1.5 on 4.5.3-109 kernel. Im gonna try miui now, it should work too.
Edit: Didnt work on second boot. How do you prevent replacing the default boot menu?
Gj, so red lense or green lense?
Sent from my Defy CM7 using Tapatalk.
I ve tried it on red lens. Maybe someone should try on greenlens with greenbread to see if it works
It really works?
I have the red lens and wanna try on it also ;-)
You don't need Greenbreadmod to make it work on Green lens since CM7 has a camera module built in that supports both SOC or Bayer module.

Can you give me your suggestion which 2.3.x rom to use. I need that battery last as long as on 2.2.2.
I had CM till rc 1.5 but i am really disappointed with battery... too bad.

Battery consumption depends on your Rom rather than what Build you're on. So you can use whatever 2.3.4 rom you may prefer. I'm using 4.5.3-109 as base as mentioned above.
I easily manage 24 hrs (heavy use) or 48 hrs (moderate usage) on CM7 rc1.5.
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
I tried both cm7rc1.5 and miui on 4.5.3-109 kernel. Both work on first boot only. Then the bootmenu gets replaced and wont boot again. I have to boot for the second time because i need to switch baseband. (India 3g patch doesnt work on cwm4)
My question is how to prevent the bootmenu being replaced? Basically make it work after reboots as well.
Would be really appreciated if someone can think of a workaround
EDIT: I just did the whole thing again and it worked
Are you flashing a fixed sbf after installing CM7/MIUI ?
Or did you install a seperate recovery after updating to CM7?
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
I restored Walter's defy+ nandroid backup then flashed fixed sbf. Then I rebooted and went to custom recovery and installed cm7 from sd.

fix miui v4 video problems
here are ics kernels included in viper rom (chinese ota kernel) and tazz's rom (leak kernel) to be used in other sense ics roms.
I actually made these to work with miui v4 as those have garbled video.
Any other rom which needs kernel updated can use this without any problems.
All credits should go to nitsuj17, tazzpirate and microdroid. All I did was extract kernel and hardware drivers from their roms and make a kernel update pakage.
flashing these kernels will fix garbled video problem in miui. both f these have working wifi and data. tested. these will not wipe data but make a backup just in case.
there's no point of flashing these kernels for a viper user. but tazz user may flash viper kernel to fix occasional wifi drop issue
flash only one.!! either tazz's one or viper one
thanks. :good: :laugh:
new version added. people having problems can try flashing that
Any one still having problems with these kernels just flash this boot.img from 4ext recovery after flashing the kernel zip fie.

I think only viper kernel has fixed WiFi drop issue. Tazz kernel hasn't fixed it. And tazz kernel has some graphic driver issues so some items doesn't render properly in some games.

MikG 3.11 includes support for wireless N along with Sense 2.1 + 3.0. Download the ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038967
This ROM includes the stock HTC kernel, but I like the ca1ne's custom kernel with SBC for better battery performance. Download the kernel at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557248
Don't forget to perform a nandroid backup and wipe cache, Dalvik cache, and system first. Flash the zip file containing the ROM. If you want to use the SBC kernel flash the zip file containing the kernel. Then reboot.
All devs please help, I have a question. This question is about the kernel. Can you change the kernel of a ROM without changing ROMs.
Thank you for your help.
Not a dev, but yes. Download your kernel of choice and flash in recovery after wiping dalvik and cache.

Yes you can and like Fin said,make sure to read the whole op before flashing the kernel,theres alot more to it than just flashing a kernel and even though it says its for AOKP or JB,make sure its made for your rom and alot of devs add different governors and voltage regulators to their kernels,make sure to look at that also,so you can get the best battery life,but at the same time you might want speed,theres alot of things to look for and concider before using a OC kernel,the main thing,follow close directions and if your not sure about something,ask first before bricking your phone.
