Hello there,
So as the title says, does anyone have some Kernel recommendations me?
As you probably know I'm running on CM 7.1 stable with 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2 radio if that even matters, and the default kernel which comes with CM 7.1.
I've seen a lot of people around here use LorDModUE kernel. I don't exactly know much about kernels so I have no idea how one kernel would perform in comparison to another or even how it would effect the functionality of the phone in general.
So what made you want to change your kernel in terms of performance and features? Which features stood out to you most and why?
Thanks a lot for any help on this matter!
Cheers
No one can help me out with this topic here?
I used Lordmod Kernal 8.5 BFS when i used CM7.1
hope this helps
It's your phone, your expectations, your needs, your time.
Backup, flash, test.
Didn't like it? Restore backup.
Wanna try another? Flash again, test.
It's fun, you will see.
Some people experience issues with a bfs kernel where their internet will stop working after a while until they toggle their connection on and off. Installing a cfs kernel will fix this. If you have no issues though and have all the options you want, then their is no need to change it unless you just want to test out other ones. As stated, some prefer one over another.

Hmm yes I do like messing with my phone haha, though I only have one so it's my main phone. Can't be having too much fun just in case it decides to give me lemons .
Does flashing Kernel require wiping data? I guess that's not such a big problem since I have TB to help me out in that department but it would save a lot of trouble if one did not have to wipe data every single time.
Cheers

Oh that would suck wouldn't it? I've heard BFS > CFS right? Does it really make a noticeable difference? I was going to go try out BFS anyway since it sounded a bit more interesting.

Thanks for this! Glad to know it's CM7.1 friendly.
EDIT: Sorry for the double-post! Thought it would automatically combine like I've previously experienced, guess not.
Yup... That's about right.. LordMod 8.5 BFS pretty much gave me the best performance out of the ones that I tested while on CM 7.1
And yes.. although I haven't experience a very significant difference.. BFS is a performance enhancement over CFS according to LordClockan.. He's the kernel guru so I believe him!

Is there a good solid kernel I can use to overclock my urevoked forever rooted evo. I've done a lot of searching and can't seem one that let's you use wimax WiFi or the camera. Help Is much appreciated.
Why not ask your question in the actual Q&A section?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=652
I just use SetCPU on stock and use their perflock disabler. Its a little harder to configure for actual overclocking, but if you need to do any underclocking, you disable the perflock after every boot and have profiles set up. You could probably find the right settings to do overclock too, at least, I think you can.
Sorry I posted in the wrong spot. Newbie but tryin hard here. Finally rooted froyo and trying to make the best of it. When I try to disable it tells me wrong kernel. I had it oc'd yesterday but all sensors and camera were disabled. so I reflashed my original rom. I'm looking for a stable kernel that allows OC and is fully functional on my froyo Rom

I'm using the netarchy kernel 2.6.32 (bfs version). Everything is stable and fast overclocked to 1.15. I'm not sure how stable it is beyond that point. I tried 1.267 (cranked it all the way up), but that was definitely too much.
Thanks. I'm now running solid and stable at 2.22 ghz with all features of Evo working perfect. snappy!
i hope you meabn 1.22ghz

Yeah, 2.22 would probably blow up the phone! lol. Seriously though, it gets pretty hot when overclocking at 1.2 GHz, Can't imagine going too much higher without having serious damage occur.
Yeah I meant 1.23. I haven't ever had any heat issues yet. BAttery last longer too with my current profile setup. Amazing.

I can confirm : no issues whatsoever.
WiFi, bluetooth, FM-radio, GPS, Overclocking to > 1.5GHz all working perfect.
Are these kernels compatible with the US T-mobile G2 Stock ROM? Sorry i just need to clear it out of my way. thank you

So if you like the kernels and are planning to donate, please make sure you donate to them and not us. The work we've done and continue to do to assure Sense/HTC compatibility is minuscule in comparison to the upstream work by the actual maintainers.

I don't use Sense myself, but I think it's important that the Virtuous team is recognized for all THEIR hardwork. As humble as you are in your post, you & your team deserve recognition for your efforts too.
Your contributions are definitely not without merit and appreciated by many, many people. You guys are important in your own way for making the community (G2/DZ & beyond) what it is, so thank YOU for your hard work.
BlueTooth won't turn on for G2 Stock ROM with both Pershoot and Cyanogen Kernels
Thanks for the work though.

Hi.
Excuse my ignorance, but trying to find out how to update stock kernel to this.
Tried searching, but rather new to Android and there seems to be a lot of varuois advise.
Am I to understand that all I need to do is download for example the pershot kernel, put it on my SD and make a fastboot update? Since it contains a "boot.img"
Or is ADB involved?
Simply put, how would I upgrade my "old" stock kernel?
And before upgrading, how would I go ahead and backup my old. Nandroid?
Thanks for your time.
If your sig is current, then your first step should be to S-Off. Check one of the stickies.
Then the easiest way to go about updating the Kernel/doing a backup would be to grab Rom Manager off the Market and flashing ClockworkMod.
Thanks alot for the kernals everything works on desire z fine fm radio etc..
the only problem i am having is the phone freezes if i set the max fre over 1094 mhz on set cpu it allows over clocking to over 1400 mhz right? well i am a proper noob though so maybe i am doing something wrong? i need to change a setting perhaps? or maybe this kernal is not for overclocking ?
thanks
or maybe i am just unlucky and 1094 mhz is the max my phones cpu can handle since every cpu is unique?
Random black-screen on wake-up
Tried both 1.2 and 1.3, same problem.
The issue is: When I wake up my phone from sleeping( either using Power Button or D-Pad), I have random chance to get a black screen. It's special, unlike those "freeze black-screen", the "home,MENU,Back,Search" buttons below the screen light up normally,open the keyboard and the backlight will turn on too ,but not the screen, it just remain black.
When I press the PowerButton again, the screen light up for about 0.1s (I can see the lock screen) then back to sleep.
Sometimes I have to press the Powerbutton several times get the screen on. but sometimes it works just fine.
I have no problem with the "Unmodified kernel" from ROM Manager, but when using these two kernels, it happens again.
Is there any solution or similar case?
Just installed the CM kernel on my DZ with stock sense rom. Everything seems to work perfectly. Setcpu works great with it. I can OC to 1.5ghz with small steps.
What are the difference in between the kernels??
Using 1.3 atm and no problems at all whatsoever. However I would like to know the differences in between kernels. Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I can confirm this black screen on wake up as reported by jzhyok while I am test running right now the CM 1.3 kernel on my german DZ with unmodified Sense ROM, perm root, s-off.
I used setcpu with 1.5ghz and 1.2ghz with same results, just in case this could make a difference.
One more thing. My DZ instantly froze when I changed the governor from on demand to smartass in setcpu while I was at 1.5ghz with this CM 1.3 kernel, so I removed battery and now stay with the on demand governor.
Any fix for this anoying black screen wake up problem and any hint for the smartass governor? Which governor would be better, on demand or smartass?

Ok so you can dump this tread if I am wrong but I am very confused about the kernels out there, I am just trying to get a good stable CM 6 phone with everything working and decent battery life. All the kernel's in this forum seem to be either abandoned or not working correctly.
Can anybody help me with a suggestion on what kernel to use?
So far I tired SNAP, and savage but both made my phone reboot after a few min. I also have hardware version 3 so not sure that it makes a difference, I am just confused and was hoping for some direction.

use the stock kernel
Sure that is fine is that the best one overall, I hear everywhere that kernel makes a huge difference in battery life and speed.
If stock it he best then I will stick with that.
+1 stock...
savage 1.6 CFS does good on my phone on cm6 and even better on cm7
getting 24 hrs with moderate usage. might be the gingerbread
I am going to try CM7 becuase I keep getting reboots now with stock cm6 not sure why anybody have any clue why this would be. I downloaded CM6 from rom manager and then flashed with RA recovery after a full wipe and dalvik wipe as well then just the rom, also having a wireless issue where remembered networks are not connecting without a on and off of the wifi all together.
Also what version of CM7 do you use and where did you get it I don't see it on the forums here.
I searched the forum, but so far I haven't found anything conclusive.
My question is, which is the best kernel in terms of OC possibility and battery saving?
I like the Kernel from the DK froyo RoM but the fact that I cannot overclock past 528 MhZ bothers me.
Note: I am currently on the Nightly CM7 Kernel which seems to drain the battery rather quickly and for some reason does not see my wifi hotstop -_-
Any suggestions?
Im on CM7 nightly to (#152).
Battery is a BIG problem! Also When charge gets to 80% the green charge light goes on?
I think it kernel related!
I also want to overclock to 710 Mhz at the minimum!
Indeed the cm7 kernel has some big problems. So far i've found out that with it you cannot connect to wifi hotspots, cannot detect wifi hotspots, it drains the battery too fast, and usb debugging doesn't work...
Nevertheless, I have replaced it with the one in my sig, but am still opened for suggestions for a better kernel.
The default kernel from DK Custom Froyo v 4.5.1 was good, but it didn't allow OC.
Thats interesting guys, I've been looking for a ROM for my wildfire, but my main concern is BATTERY LIFE.
I thought CM7 was supposed to increase battery performance? Should I be looking somewhere else? I'm just after something a little more responsive, stable, and an increase in battery.

Results vary widely. I am getting impressive battery results with CM7 (~3 days, with moderate usage), and I am very happy with it. However, on an initial install of CM7, battery life is terrible, but, after 1-2 discharge charge cycles, it somehow automatically fixes (calibrates) itself.
ah, thats great news, I was hoping for longer battery life
CM7 does seem to be the most popular ROM and has the most development. I'm sure I can live without Sense, but it is tempting to try some of the tweaked Sense ROMs to keep things looking familiar. Any recommendations on that?

JokerDroid is the current favorite , seeing its popularity. But the only one I have extensively tested is WildPuzzle 2.2.1, and, I liked it a lot. So, you might want to consider that as well. (With a new kernel, not the included one)

I've already downloaded Jokerdroid, no reason to change the kernel on that one?
No, it already includes the nFinity kernel.
Really appreciate all your help 3xeno!
So I'm now running JokerDroid, which has the nFinity 2.6.32 kernel. Would there be any benefit to dropping the nFinity 2.6.35 into it?
Also, with regards to overclocking, is there any way to control the overclocking that is built into the JokerDroid ROM?
I'm thinking of minimising the overclock, to try and get the best battery life.

I don't think so. Besides, I think 2.6.35 is Gingerbread only.
You can use an app called SetCPU to change the OC values, and add new profiles as well. The dev has uploaded it on XDA in a thread somewhere (Just search for it, you should find it without any issues)
ah, great. Yes I found the SetCPU app, but I wasn't sure if using that would conflict with the settings built into JokerDroid.
Guess I'll leave it set as it is for the moment, then mess with the settings in SetCPU if I feel I need to squeeze more out of it.
Thanks again!
cm7 works great! Have gone 3 days without a charge
Is there any Kernel with OC and WiFi working that doesn't cause copyBit errors?
I'm currently on nfinity-mc4 and it just messes up logcat completely.
So should I install nFinity 2.6.32 or this one with its useless filesystems? The upstream arco repository is gone and I'm not going to compile one from kernel.org for my primary phone
And can I use ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 to install? My phone has S-ON and stock 2.2.1 rom (rooted, of course).
Hi all,
I'm a new Nexus user and I was just wondering what is currently the best ROM and Kernal people are using. I put Android Revolution HD on my Nexus a few days ago and it's running great. I keep hearing people talk about Cyanogen or the Franco kernal though.
Are the performance improvements that much better, or should I stick to Revolution? I don't require a lot of personalization in terms of how things look. I'm quite happy with the stock look of the phone. I just want all the "behind the scenes" improvements like better battery life and loading times. What's the best setup in your experiences?
Thanks!
I've played around with several of the roms and kernels, with mixed results. It seemed like some roms and kernels would get me crazy performance, but really crappy stability.
The setup I'm running now is a cleanly wiped install of GummyNex 0.8.1 found here, or more directly here OnDemand governor is giving me respectable battery life. When I'm running short, I'll switch to Conservative. I've been meaning to set something up in Tasker or Setting Profiles to do it for me.
And Google apps found here, also more directly here
The kernel I run is Trinity, found here
If you haven't done so already, I found awesome performance improvements by opening the egl,cfg file in /system/lib/egl/, and deleting the first line- usually "0 0 android". Then going back into the egl folder and deleting both the .bak file some editors create, and the "libGLES_android.so" file. This is an ICS tweak that alleges to eliminate CPU rendering. I know there's an option in developer tools to "force GPU rendering", but apparently that doesn't quite cut it.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents, and it's blazing fast and stable. Averaging around 3800 in Quadrant.
Thanks! Revolution HD already does GPU rendering so I'm not to worried about that. I guess I'll just stick with that since it's basically stock with a few performance tweaks. I'm not big on instability :/.
The Trinity kernel looks interesting though... Is the overclock safe though? And does it drain a lot of extra battery?

Revolution HD is based on 4.0.2 so many kernels will not work because they are based on 4.0.3 and 4.0.4. I highly recommend you use a rom that is based on 4.0.3 AOSP (Such as GummyNex or AOKP). 4.0.3 has better stability/battery/performance tweaks anyway. If you want a better selection of Trinity's kernels go here. TNP1344-ANY-384-aelp (dated Feb 27th) is really nice. If it gives you bootloops up the voltages by 50 or 100.
aokp.27 + glados.v.1.18 OR leankernel.v.2.4.0 (both are stable as a rock)
Alright, I'll try Open Kang I guess. I'm so new to this... Sorry for all the questions :/.
It seems like a hassle to reinstall all your apps often so that you can switch to a new ROM . Does this need to be done every time the device changes its firmware version?

Well... you can always backup your apps with Titanium Backup, and save all your preferences (such as Nova Launcher, Minimalistic Text, etc.) and then reload that. And usually if you stick one one Rom and then an update comes from that rom, you don't have to wipe data (just cache & dalvik cache). But if you're switching Roms, then yes, you have to reinstall all your apps.

with titanium pro its a matter of minutes, saves your app-data also, so you don't loose your highscores. but as was mentioned before, updates go through without factory-reset most of the time once you're settled.
btw, aokp is perfectly stable.
I'm running gummy with the latest lean kernel and love it. Battery life is great and performance is top notch. Big fan of team gummy. I get a solid full days use regularly. usually around 20% when I plug it in after 16 hours of use and I use it fairly regularly, wifi, 4g, txt, web, etc.
