Its been a while since I have got a chance to update to a new ROM for my ET4G. In fact, the last ROM I had on my phone was Unnamed, which I still think is a great ROM, just outdated. Currently I'm running Mijjahs ICS Blend v5.1, but I cannot find any kernels on this forum that allow you to OC. Did I miss something? I found a kernel on Androidforums called "Zedomax" but I didn't recall seeing it on this forum. Has anyone else used it? I would be dumbfounded to find that it is not possible to OC in any kernel yet for my phone. Someone please give me a head's up.
I haven't had much experience with Zedomax, but I've heard that it is really old. If you want to OC with GB, use Gunslinger. As for ICS, I'm not aware of any kernels that OC yet but I'm not a big OC'er anyways so I wouldn't know the best.

Gunslinger...THHHHAAATS what I was using before. For some odd reason I got that confused as a kernel for my old Epic 4G. I'm spoiled by Team Venum's ICS roms now man, but I am disappointed to see that there has been no kernels released yet for OC'ing on the ICS platform. I just hope there are some in the making. I'm not sure if I'm really up to going back to GB.
We will not be able to overclock ICS rom such as Blendz 5.1 until source is released. i did hear though that some people were able to overclock to 1.45 using tegrak on the ics leak roms

Ok so I am coming from an incredible and there are a few roms out there that even though they are sense based seem way faster then any rom on the evo. Anybody know the reason for this and also what is the fastest rom to date that is 100% working such as 4g and hdmi work?
Most roms that run sense will be damn fast but so will cyanogen mod because its so well made. Kernels make a world of difference on each phone so try a rom you like then flash some different kernels. As always, make NAND backups often, and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745205
Thats a nice rom and can be killer fast with some good kernels.
Does 4g work with this rom, and where would you suggest I start with Kernels, I see that rom has an undervolt option as well so I assume that would be taken away if I flashed a kernel on top of it or am I wrong because its a script? I can research that for sure but if you have a quick answer then I was hoping you could share it with me or let me know of a kernel that works well for you.
Thanks in advance!
Try MikFroyo 4.3...fastest Sense rom I have ever used (possibly the fastest rom ever for EVO). Also, everything is fully functional.
Test it with the kernel that comes packaged (HTC #15) and if you don't like it, then can try some other kernels.

Yea I just like the idea of running Calkulin's roms because he know so much about these phones. I'm convinced that he has some secret in his rom. But yes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883026 is a brilliantly fast rom. I can't say much for kernels because I haven't changed any yet but he has optimized just about the entire system to make for a really fast rom. I can see this rom with a good kernel putting down a really nice benchmark. I am running stock kernel and it is running a slightly faster benchmark than a stock evo. Here's my benchmark running this rom posted above.
I was thinking the same thing...I've flashed Fresh ROMs before and I liked the speed but I wanted to try another ROM...Maybe someone should make a thread with a poll and people can post likes and dislikes about each ROM...It can be like a feedback thread for ROM developers as well.
I'm loving the speed of Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 5, using the stock HTC #15 kernel.
Yea im actually messing with kernels right now and with a little overclocking I can casually outperform the nexus. I was a mynion for a long time and I remember putting a kernel on the phone that was unbelievably fast. Both are great sense roms with this one being a little quicker and lightweight, and myns being prettier Attached are 1 screen of no overclocking then two overclockings. Interstingly enough, the 1349 score was with 1.2something frequency, and the 1484 was with 1.19ghz
Are there any advantages/disadvantages for using a stock kernel vs a custom kernel? Thanks for the responses.

Stock kernel usually does'nt clock over 998MHz and you are'nt able to over or undervolt the kernel for better battery life.Also on custom kernels there are more governor options(smartass,etc.).Custom kernels can go up to 1118MHz sometimes higher,depends on the CPU.

I am aware of those differences. Basically, I'm wondering why I see so many people wanting to use a stock kernel (especially the one in the new OTA) and I was wondering why. Like what are the advantages of using the stock kernel over a custom kernel? Is it more stable? Are there any other things I may not be thinking of that would make a stock kernel a better choice? Thx again!
Sent from my Modded Classic Evo... It's easier this way.
I would think stock kernels to be smoother because they are designed for that particular rom/build,when a custom kernel is designed to run on different roms/builds,then when roms are updated or changed,the custom kernel does'nt,unless changed by the developer,hence the lag and FC's.I hope thats the answer you were looking for.
Custom kernels are made universal for several devices and roms. Although they yield benefits over stock, sometimes they can be unstable on certain setups. like mentioned above stock is made specifically for said device bout somewhat limited, though very stable

Thanks clicked for both of you. Reason I ask is because I am running the new radios that were released with the newest OTA and wanted to know what to look for when I finally give the new kernel a try. Has anyone used the new kernel HTC released with the OTA yet? Has anyone a comparison they could share? Thanks.

Hey guys I been searching, and I am not sure which overclock kernel would work for me. I am currently running LD50 from Team Venum on my Sprint E4GT, but I am thinking about switching over to CM9. Maybe CM10, but I dunno if I want to deal with the Jelly Bean not supporting flash. I like flash. Anywho what would be a good overclock kernel? I been running into a bunch. I generally leave the phone at the 1200 mark, but I like the option that I can if I want to bump the go power. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721235 but it's saying that it's a custom built kernel from the Skyrocket. this is why I am asking. I want to overclock my phone. I want it for bragging rights, but I don't want to have a paperweight. That's what the iPhone's are good for! Anyone willing to help?

Unfortunately I don't know that we really have any options for JB at this point. The included kernel is what you'll have to use.
I can tell you however using the kernel you referenced will guarantee you a brick.
The only overclockable kernels for the et4g are for GB and maybe TWiz ICS, there's only one JB kernel and its sbrissens which is included in all JB roms. All the aosp ICS kernels aren't overclockable since their goal is official CM support. JB supports flash, you just have to sideload the apk from adobe. Overclocking doesn't make a damn bit of difference on this device, it will actually lower your quadrant score because its designed to run at the factory clock speed and the I/O scheduler and OOM groupings are setup to work with the stock speed, when overclocking it throws everything off causing a large drop in I/O, and graphics scores.
We are legion, for we are many.

Well not just 720p but EVERYTHING working.
I was looking at DK's roms the CM10 and CM10 4.2
Are there any others (my used Dinc2 should be arriving in the 28th so i want to get ready to root it, S-OFF, and load some jelly goodness on it.
OR if i should stay on stock for everything to work properly?
Thanks everyone

If you want everything working you'll have to stay stock. Jelly Bean is great but it will always have a few issues no matter what rom you are on.
Dk cm9 works very well with only a few bugs. Working 720 camera as well.

I have the Incredible HD RLS 2 (ICS 4.0.4 Sense 3.6) ROM if you want it. It real nice and loaded with features. Only problem is that the memory is like maxed out. (cause it pretty much stock) after my first pass through I was able to free up about 60mb. I personally get rid of junk like calander, weather, etc. You can get way smaller apps for these in the app store. After I free up space it ran faster. Me personally... I like to keep mine stock (deodexed of course), debloated, and themed. Mine runs so fast! If you were to go with this I'd recommend a overclocked kernel as well!

What kernel are you suggesting to use for over clocking a sense ROM? I haven't seen anything about custom sense kernels for ICS. If you are referring to using aero's kernels, those are aosp ROMs only.

There is not any custom kernels for sense roms.

Sorry about that.. I never messed with the kernel just assumed it would help and that there was one. (Smacked myself for assuming) lol

No biggie, just wanted to be sure someone reading this didn't go trying to flash one and freak out when it didn't work and start 4 new threads asking for support.

Are cm9 roms the general go to for stability on the dinc2? I'm getting one for my wife and would like to have an idea of what to throw on it after s-off. I don't need bleeding edge but don't want her stuck on sense either.

Cm7.2 is probably safer. I think all ICS and jb ROMs have slight issues at best due to lack of source. MROM is nice. If she doesn't want to deal with occasional reboots and often flakey cameras (some are pretty stable but results vary), I would stay with gingerbread.

DD is subjective. I have used PAC now for a DD. It has some hiccups occasionally but I work through it.
You should read through some of the threads for more details. Not everyone has the same experience. But you may experience lag, random reboots, camera force closes or a need to clear data to make camera work periodically. You will likely have to manually input APN settings, which only has to be done once so no biggie there. You may have no problem at all. For someone who likes tinkering it isn't a big deal to do those things. But if you are looking for a ROM for someone who just wants it to work, and not have to possibly switch due to issues, and who hates resetting everything like a new phone, gingerbread is more stable. All the ICS and JB ROMs use a hacked gingerbread kernel except for sense ROMs using a stock kernel. There is no custom sense kernel for ICS or jb. And there are some nice sense ROMs on gingerbread also, with great features. And because they are what the phone is meant to run they don't really have issues. I know you say you don't want her "stuck" on sense, but she might like it. Take a look at nits sense ROMs, as well as skyraider zues. I have used zues as a fallback for quite some time. Andy bones had some nice mods for it too. Bottom line, if she doesn't mind a few possible issues try a few and see, but if she just wants it to work right, don't mess with her phone just for your sake.
If you do try some, dk's ROMs and chilly's have been good so far. Not perfect but great work considering lack of source. Hope this helps.

CM7 is rock solid. Everything works.
I'm using an aeroevan kernel and the supercharger script. Also incredicontrol to oc to 1.4GHz.
Flashed the latest Verizon radio.
Rock. Solid.

We picked the phone up yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised to find it already s-offed and cm7 installed on it. I don't know about the radios on it. Probably won't mess with it since it's for my wife. Thanks for all the help.

What really is the difference between all these stock type kernels that are "deodexed" I am specifically talking about the ones that Scott puts out that are basically Samsung kernels?
Am I gaining anything by upgrading these kernels when the new ones come out.
If I use an international kernel will that do anything negative to my United States phone?
I am running cleanrom 4.0.5 right now and just flashed an "L7" kernel, from Scott's website that allowed me to mess around with boot animations.

I usually dont mess with the kernel because I actually tried NOTE2CORE and that was kind of buggy for me my infrared light is always on if you know what Im talking about. the light next to the ear piece. I also tried perseus and saber and I did not tweak them or anything like UV or OC them. If you are crazy about OC and tweaking them those two are your best bet. If you are like me and cant really tell the difference in speed then keep it stock. I am running the new stock kernel MA4 or something. I am running CLEAN ROM also but the AT&T version 1.2.
Hope this helps and good luck
Best thing to do is search forums. This question has been answered many times. And there is some great guides already written on any questions you have about kernels. Thats how I learned and found a rom that I wanted. The info/guides will inform you much better than a post like this.
