I'm currently running CM7.2 and I was a bit confused by the Incredikernel thread here:
[KERNEL] Incredikernel (Chad+Tiny) - 03/21/2012 - GB+ICS (non-HWA)
It says that the GB+ICS kernels don't have HWA. Does that mean that the older GB-only kernels do have hardware acceleration? In that case would it be better to stick with the Incredikernel from 11/27/2011?
Hardware Acceleration only applies to ICS, none of the Incredikernels have HWA. That is mentioned because HWA is an important feature of ICS for things like Google Chrome beta. Your experience with Incredikernel will not be impacted on GB, the same cannot be said if you were using an ICS rom.

What is the best kernel for the ASOP GB roms? I am looking to get the best battery life. Also links please.
I obviously prefer Tiamat but there are others too. try to find some undervolting, make sure the kernel has HAVS and viperboy has some scripts that will undervolt even more if you can maintain stability to keep your battery life going. choose the "smartass governor" with an app called setcpu
my favorite is incredikernel and try undervolting like morph3k said

Tiamat 4.0 is broken for camera. I liked Savaged-zen before the release of android 2.3.4
Tiamat 4.0.1 is released and the camera is working.
i have been using Tiamat 3.3.8 on Cm7 stable runs smooth and gives me great battery life

I couldn't post a direct download because my post count is low ( I do more reading than posting ) just go to downloads at the bottom of the page choose Tiamat Inc and scroll down to the kernel you want I would stick with the last 3 series because there are still complaints about the 4.0 kernel
The one that has been coming with new CM nightly's has been working great. I used to use Chad's latest incredikernel 2.6.37.6 (Sorry can't post link still a young Jedi). But CM's kernel has been smooth for me on nightly 68 and 69.
I was just wondering what are the lightest (as in space), smoothest yet good looking roms out there.
Personally, can't go wrong with CM7. Xplod by Team Nocturnal, also AOSP, is a great rom. If you want small [as in space] then you will want AOSP, as sense roms are always bigger.
Yeah aosp for sure, salvagemod,cm like Roxx said etc. These are all pretty light rom's.

I personally love aosp aswell but everytime i flash one, my wimax doesnt go as fast as with sense roms... If it wasnt for that, id most def. Be on cm7

Try Deck and then flash the Savage Zen BFS HAVS kernel. The Rom is based on CM7 but with all the bling that CM ads removed. The savage zen kernel gave me disgustingly good battery life. The whole Rom as is, is under 80mb. Can't get much lighter than that. sz kernel should resolve your wimax speed issue too. I notice that 4G always seemed slower on CM's kernel (which is what most of the AOSP roms use, including Miui). SZ's kernel fixed a lot of little things like that.
O cool thnx man, does sz kernel support hdmi also?
You've got great information above. AOSP is always smaller, lighter. I'm using kushdeck's gingerbread-evo-deck 1.3d (GB v2.3.5), which is built on a solid Cyanogenmod base. It's technically still a beta of GB v2.3.5, but I have as yet to have any issue with it. Plus, if like me you like the stock Vicual Voice Mail, use the ed-gapps with vm. Note that CM did this first and has this available also.
Both the SZ and Tiamat kernels support HDMwIn, have sbc versions available, etc. I find that the latest Tiamat 4.0.8 kernel works the best for me overall but of course your phone may feel otherwise.
Oh, a nice trick if you have issues with Wifi, Wimax or GPS after flashing an AOSP ROM. Once your ROM is built, make a nand backup of it. Now, flash one of the rooted stock ROMs (I use virus's 453.651.1). Once its flashed and you boot up, immediately reboot into recovery and restore your backup of your favorite AOSP ROM. This works because some drivers (like the GPS driver) are or can be changed/updated during a flash, but are not during a restore.
This has fixed non-functioning & poorly functioning GPS for many (including me), fixed wifi issues for some, and a few say that it improved their wimax speeds. If you're experiencing any of those issues, it only costs a few minutes of your time to find out, but of course that's your decision.
Anyway, I hope that the info is useful. Thank you for your time.

anyone know where i can find an active link to aero's v8 kernel?
What rom are you on? gb or ics?
cm7.2 RC3
I would use his newer ICS kernels. Im using v10.5 on CM7RC2 at the moment and the multitouch issues have been fixed from what I can tell.
Go to his CM9 thread and get it from there.
OK I HAVE that one, how's battery life with that kernel
Its two days with moderate to light use, but i'm on CM9. I'm sure it will be similar.
so I tried the new miui.us for supersonic and fell in love with it. the default kernel was great, but I missed the different options of mason kernel like I had with Decks reloaded. So I looked around for a mason kernel and I came across Mason EI 1.5. After downloading the updated miui rom, i reflashed the mason kernel and it bugs out my phone, when I turn it on it's a black screen, however, I can unlock it and I see a ghost lock screen and everything is just shifting everywhere, I can't slide screens or do anything on it. So my question is where can I find another mason kernel that will work with it? I don't even remember where I found the one mason kernel.....?
Edit: After some googling, it turns out the new MIUI.us update is now running JB, not ICS anymore. Does anybody know of JB kernels? Perhaps even SBC support or is that asking too much?
Greetings!
I've seen a few JellyBean Roms for the Xperia Play (xda and YouTube), but have yet to test any of them out. Just wondering if anyone out there is sold on one particular JB Rom, if so, which one? Gingerbread based Roms are oldies but goodies since they tend to offer the best stability plus can be themed to look like ICS or JB but since there is no Xperia Play 2 in sight, I'd like to at least run a current firmware. I've read of lagging, force closes, and touchpad issues, which make me hesitant to make the jump but hope someone has found that JB gem that I'm looking for. Basically, the Rom should be as stable as can be (preferably still being updated), best battery performance, all the basics (camera, true multitasking, wifi, bluetooth, etc) are all functioning properly, and as for gaming, working touchpads (I do overclock which helps performance wise). Also, state the Kernel you use/prefer with the JB Rom, and why. Anyways, I'd prefer JB over ICS at this point and GB over ICS as well so it is what it is. Hope to see some suggestions, advantages/disadvantages, and helpful info regarding JB Roms for Xperia Play. Thanks for your time y'all!
Currently running Aurora Play v0.8 (GB 2.3.7) Rom, LuPuS GB v6 720 Kernel
Previouly ran with NXT Light Edition (GB 2.3.7) Rom, DooMKernel v14
The two kernels for jelly bean are lupus jb v8 or turbo kernel. They are both great. The best jelly bean roms are pac man and aokp that was modified by someone. Slimbean was also good but lots of people had problems with it though I never did. So far slimbean offers the best ram but pac is the most stable so you should go with that. Really the best thing you can do is try them and see which one suits you best

there is no fully touchpad support jb rom
for fully touchpad support roms you should use ics roms (in ics roms touchpad doesnt work 100% in aosp ones) or gb roms
