After flashing the rogue ek02 kernel i ran some quadrant benchmarks and was getting lower than usual scores, i then flashed Chris acs5 ek02 stock kernel and my scores were back to normal. i prefer the rogue kernel because of the bootanimation support but why is it slower?
Cool quadrant, does it really matter?
Did the phone run slower with the kernel with lower quadrant scores? I will never understand why people base how good something works by how it effects their quadrants scores.
Future reference posting the SAME question in TWO sections is unnecessary!

I'm new to posting, so I apologize if I do this incorrectly. Just wondering which rom /modem the devs/users think has the most advantages, in terms of battery life, network speeds, overall performance, GPS lock, bugs, and other important factors I am not thinking of currently. There seems to be a lot of leaked builds to choose from (EG30, EG31, EK02, EL13, EL26,EL29).I thought if we started a discussion about this, readers would have a better understanding of which stock or custom rom to flash and why. Thanks in advance!
I'm still using stock EK02 rom and modem, rooted. GPS sometimes lags for initial lock. WIFI works great, network speeds usually around 1 mbps. Phone feels snappy, lag free, battery lasts through the day quite easily.

There are already three or four recent threads discussing this. I don't see the need to start another one. Most users like EL29, some say they experience battery drain.
I'm using EG30 modem with EL26 kernel, and that combination is great. Fast, smooth scrolling.
In the time I've been using this combo (about a week and a half), I haven't gotten one. But it's a moot point - I almost never get los.
can you mix these with miui?

No. Only the modems. Due to there being no other kernels for aosp roms aka miui cm7

Thank you. To be clear I can mix the modems with MIUI but nothign else listed here.
I'm looking for a good kernel like I've had all my life on the EVO OG and EVO3D
Thank you guys I really hope this dev community picks up!
I'm using stock ek02, odexed, rooted, el29 modem, rogue desperado 1.3 ek02 kernel and modded recovery, hotspot mod flash, no frills CPU control set at 800 200 ondemand cfq.
I please delete
Well, as Phatman pointed out, this thread is redundant and I suppose will be deleted. Sorry about that. Thanks to those who replied. Seems like there are several kernel/ modem combinations that work well, but not one in particular that is regarded as clearly superior by the community.

Hows the phone run at the 800mhz clock?

Its pretty stable, sometimes I notice some apps take longer to load. Besides that it runs fine.
I'm running ek02 modem/el26 kernel/el26 rom (calk's) at the moment.
Out of the modems I've tried (all of them except el29), I'm pretty sure ek02 is the best. However, I haven't been able to narrow it down when it comes to the kernel & rom, what kind of results have you guys been getting? Specifically, with battery life. I feel like el26/el26 is decent but not as good as I could be getting.

Getting excellent performance and battery life with VeNuM VCS el29 Rom/kernel/modem. Gonna try on 800mhz after a few more battery cycles, should give me even better battery life. Still set at standard clock speed.
I got battery drain on el26 & el29. Running the ek02 modem with el13 kernel. Loving it.
Kernel should be matched to rom, right? If I go back to el13 I'll have to find an older rom for it.

EL13 based ROM (UnNamed) and EL26 modem and kernel is working great for me. I think anything EK02+ is basically the same though.

Kernel doesn't need to match the base of the rom.

I like EL26 Rom and kernel (Calkulins 2.7) with EL26 modem. Good battery life and better data than EK02 for me. I flashed the EL29 modem on this setup and my battery life went downhill bigtime so I went back to EL26.
Running ek02 modem with el29 kernel & rom now. So far, so good.

5000+ Quadrant Score
I have found the best setup thus far for me.
Rom: Calkulins E4GT Rom (v2.8.1)
-ICS themed dialer, contacts, messaging.
Modem: EL29
Kernel: Team Rogue Desperado Kernel (1.3)
OC: 200 min - 1704 max (Unstable passed 1600 for me)
Set at:
-Max: 1350 MHz (mV)
-Min: 500 MHz
Conservative
Getting 5000+ quadrant scores with this setup and very good battery life with heavy usage throughout the day. Went an entire day without a single charge.
Absolutely no loss of signal issues.
I also have various scripts and background processes making things run smoother.
System CPU script
System Battery script
Superfreeze script (Defrost, Freeze)
I was wondering why after updating from and stock Telus ROM and darksides kernel from his kernel thread to the DDW ROM my processor has been slowed down to 1.35 GHz I saw in notes he does this for safety or something but my Telus G2X has a 1.5 GHz CPU stock am I better off running my stock ROM with just a kernel. Also my 4g icon has disappeared. I also ran some bench tests before and after with those previously mentioned ROM kernel combos and I went from 1.75 overclocked to 1.35 and it shows me being slower then a stock galaxy s2 X.

Download a clock controller app from the market and set the clock to whatever you like, i use setcpu. Pretty straight forward.
The point of the underclock and undervoltage in Darksides ROM isn't to gain stability or because of a problem with stock speeds....it's only purpose is to give you better battery life.
Stability with custom ROMS is the problem you will run into when you test enough of them.
I think the most stable one I ran was Gingersnap.
Peace.
Is it safe to overclock to 1.85? Does it just suck life out of battery

Darksides kernel oc's to 1.78 ghz but comes stock at 1.35
If you torque it up all the way, the phone will def perform better but the battery life will suffer.
I was using the bullet kernel on juggernaut and it is at 1.67 ghz... Battery life went down quickly if inwas using the phone a lot.

Yeah I set it to cap at 1.52 I just hope these profiles work

dude just stop with your anti custom ROM posts. There's a reason why a lot of people use custom roms, it's been completely stable for us.
you are a case of user error
Hey everyone -
So I'm currently running Blazer Rom 4.0 and its great. But I'm trying to get some battery issues resolved, and have seen mentioned that I can flash a new kernel that may help me out. My Questions:
How can I check the current kernel installed?
And what kernel do you recommend for E4GT with Blazer 4.0, EL29?
Is there a preferred modem to flash? Or does it change on a case by case basis (as some threads seem to suggest)?
Thank you!!
The rogue ones work best as they're stock w tweaks, use gunslinger. Only way to tell what you currently have is if it was included in the description of the rom from the op.
If you want to mess w battery life, try slightly underclocking ur CPU. Or don't have so many widgets, use less 4g and Bluetooth, turn GPS off when u don't need it.
Modems, differ on phones...I had good success with el29 and fc05.

To find out the which kernel is installed go to: settings / about phone / then under where it says kernel version
good point also!
Personally I can't decipher what most of the kernels are unless someone makes a specific custom kernel (like zedomax) which hasn't been done for this phone in a loooooong time.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Thank you guys, very helpful! Whats the best way to download these custom kernels? Having some trouble finding a download link for Rogues Gunslinger.
ahh! I think I found it in the Hitman recovery thread.. The download link was noted as removed which threw me off, but it was actually in a post below. woop
Make sure its not a kernel repacked with touch recovery! Those things have been borking phones left and right thats why the hitman link is removed until its figure out what the hell is giving out the blue light of death

Check out the read that's posted on this forum about setcpu. That's what I did. I read a few good reads on voltage and setcpu. Then went from there. I've been using Rogue kernel and setcpu for months now..
Using Gunslinger kernel I got a 7637 on Antutu benchmark..

muck thanks to whoever helps.
Try the ACS rom and use set CPU to overclock the kernel. Smartbench is a good one to check quadrent scores with as well. If you need a link to the ACS rom lemme know and I'll try to snag it

Report: i tryed out the peoples rom. it has built in Ktweaker app by Ktoonsez.
able to OC to 2100+Mhz and get near 7000 quadrant scores..
if anyone has anthing better??? post!
2100 mhz is the highest OC I've heard. So that is probably your best bet for now.
