I have been looking all over but I can't seem to find the latest HTC Kernel and would prefer to use it. So if anyone could either find it for me so I can flash it, it would be appreciated.
+1, I've been hearing good things about battery life with this. I'm very interested.
just use fresh 3.2 or pick the kernel out that rom and flash it via fastboot.
Id recommend just using a ROM that has been updated within the last few days. Most have the updated kernel. Btw wouldn't stock kernel be worse on battery than modified kernel, I'm pretty sure.
Baked snack kernel #6 is updated with latest kernel and battery life is great.

So far only Fresh 3.2nd and the leaked ota have the new Kernel. It's better on battery life than the custom ones. Problem is you'll be at 30 fps and HTC won't release the source until the rom is actually released to the public.

Where did you see baked snack #6 is using the newest OTA stock kernel as a source? The change log in his thread makes no specific mention of that.
I believe fresh started a thread with the new version of 2.2 stock with the new kernel.
Here is the original that flipz.

If I flash the nightly cm7 builds as they are released, should I flash my current kernel to it, or should I just leave it. Also, which is the best nightly so far?

Any time you flash a nightly it will overwrite the existing kernel so if you have a preferred kernel you can flash it after flashing the ROM. I personally am staying on CM7 RC4 as there haven't been enough changes other than bug fixes that I feel the need to update to the latest nightly. The first post in the CM7 RC2.5 thread in android development has a lot.
The stock kernel many people say is really good though some great alternatives that I have used are Chad's Incredikernel and Cayniarb's Tiamat kernel, the second of which I am using for the Dinc.
But don't all of the nightlys have different kernels?
Not every new nightly has a change to the kernel but when flashing any nightly, it'll flash the kernel on that nightly as the kernel is always part of a CM rom.
I don't believe the kernel has changed in the nightlies since March.
My advice is to try out the kernel and if you are not satisfied with it you can flash your current kernel on top of it.
Hi,
I would like to know what's the best kernel for Cyanogenmod 7.0.3
Did some research but couldn't find the best one.
Battery life is really important.
I never flashed a kernel btw
I'm using this one http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=1968. I'm pretty sure it's pershoot's most recent .32 kernel that works with cm 7.0.3 and i'm getting great battery life with it.
Also freezing/removing wifi calling and ganoptimizer with titanium backup increased my battery life too.
Hope this helps.
Thanks you,
I'm going to flash my first kernel right now
So the kernel is installed right now, i'll report back on the battery life later.
Thank you for your help.
Is it necessary to flash a Kernal after flashing a custom rom ?
I am thinking of flashing CM 9 or Liquid Rom. Which is the best kernal to flash with them.
-The correct spelling is kernel.
-It is not necessary to flash a new kernel with a rom. In general roms will package the stock kernel unless they note otherwise.
-I am personally a fan of leankernel because of the mission statement behind its development and the accessibility and speed of its update cycle.
Nope. Custom roms have kernels included, so you are not required to download a separate kernel. However, some kernels run better (ie, more fluid, less heat, reboots, etc) than others on the same device. It all depends on the silicon in your phone. If you plan to run cm9, I recommend sticking with the default kernel. If you're going with Liquid, use imoseyon's leankernel (the default) or franco kernels.
Edit: BTW, I highly recommend franco's kernel app, especially if you are new to the scene. It can download & install either franco or imoseyon kernels, making kernel flashing stupid easy. It also lets you overclock & undervolt, change governors and tweak color settings. And it is the easiest way to keep up with nightly/experimental builds. Not to mention it shows your support and encourages more development.

i say try them all, but for cm9 i recommend fugumod.

Thanks you all for your suggestions ...
finally going to try Liquid Smooth 1.25 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555667)
along with Franco.Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367341)
...... One last question Which Franco Kernel to flash there are Milestone 2, Milestone 1, Nightly ??? Whats the difference between them ?
Also when installing extras for liquid smooth do i need to wipe everything again .. I am new to this flashing stuff
and does Liquid Smooth comes with a kernel if so which one ?
Latest milestone is the most stable. Nightlies are experimental. And no need to wipe.

Liquid + franco is a great choice. Liquid is an extremely polished rom. Very, very smooth with absolutely ZERO lag (it is called Liquid Smooth for a reason) and lots of customization & tweaking options. franco kernel pushes the smoothness to another level. Liquid & franco are both awesome devs who have been tinkering with android for a long time, and they both know their stuff.
Liquid comes with imoseyon's leankernel, which is a solid kernel (obviously, or Liquid wouldn't have included it in the rom). imoseyon is another well-known & respected dev that churns kernels at a dizzying rate. He must develop in his sleep. A lot of people prefer his leankernel, and you really can't go wrong with it. But like I said before, it really depends on your device. Your phone picks the kernel, not you. Milestones are the most stable versions. Nightlies are bleeding edge experimentals with the latest patches & tweaks that may or may not improve battery or performance. Since you are new to flashing, you might want to go with milestone 2 for a few days and see how it feels. On the other hand, you could jump in balls deep and go with the latest nightly/experimental
And you don't need to wipe anything before flashing the extras package.

If you have fastboot set up, grab official images from google and flash them.

doesn't matter,
infact if you flash yakju then you will get OTA as well. if you are in japan you can flash a japan radio on top of the rom.

Kernal?
I have been researching the many different kernels out there all day. I have been running GummyNex ROM's since I rooted my GNex. I really do like the options he has. I forget which version, but the battery life was amazing (which included the baked in kernel). I flashed to .0.9 and recently 4.0.4 1.0.1 and the battery life is like a V-12 Lamborghini. I just flashed a Franco Kernal and am hoping this fixes my battery drain issues.
Something has to give......

Use liquid rom with Franco milestone built ... gave me a 4+ hour screen time. Don't know why but the nightly version reduces battery life
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I'm running Liquid 1.3 and am using Franco nightly #143 and, so far, my battery life is really great. I was at 89% after 2 hours. I also want to try Milestone 3, that just came out yesterday and see how it performs.
Hey.. Has anyone had any luck flashing custom kernels, specifically Franco kernel or AK kernel, with the latest CM 12 build ? I'm looking for better battery life and in the past both these kernels have proved useful.. Also from a lot of threads I gathered that franco+cm12 combo works well for CM12.. I'm not sure whether it's available for the HOX on CM12 ... Any alternatives in case these are no go ?
