Ok first off, I'm running Gingerbread 2.3.5 stock rom, on my SGH-T989D. I'm looking for a good kernel to help with battery life.
I have been to the official thread for the kernel, but all the links give me errors. It just says '404- Not found'. I tried to looking for other links in the thread, but it's over 160 pages long now.
So does anyone have an up to date link for the kernel, or a suggestion for any others good kernels? I'm looking through the main thread for other ginerbread kernels, but the Faux kernel is the only one that I see for touchwiz. Thanks.
You better off twittering him and asking him. He responds pretty quick.

I currently have a hero and my gf just got the EVO and the battery life is pretty rough on it of course like we all know but i just flashed an under-volt kernal and it seems to work very well, is this possible yet for the EVO? Here are the links below about the topic

Kernal for HTC Hero w/undervolt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722073
AFAIK, most of the kernals we already have available undervolt the CPU.
okay, sorry im a noob to the EVO, as of yet i dont own one, i have a very good undestanding how ever thing works with my hero. So like the latest Fresh Rom for the EVO, has undervolt?

Fresh Rom is a ROM, not a kernel. The kernel that comes with Fresh Rom by default is the stock HTC kernel which has no undervolting. You have to flash an alternate kernel after you flash the ROM which will allow undervolting.
There are a few kernels from which to choose from available here.

There are several threads in her in the dev section here with various kernels for the hero. I use Damage Control 3.2.3 ROM and therefore use a kernel from the developers there. However there is another thread (not ROM related per-se) that goes deeper into the different kernels that are available and being worked on. If you prefer another ROM search those threads... Since the release of the complete source code recently several dev's are tweaking the kernels to integrate with their ROM's.
Seek and yee shall find... (If you go to the DamageControl link, Look for info on post #2. You will have to scroll a bit because it's a beast as is the size of the thread.
I think Baked Snack ROM does the most undervolting. He said he has undervolted it so low with stability.
That ROM does wonders to your battery... let me just say that.
I want to start of by apologizing if this is a question that is answered somewhere else. I DID search and checked all of the 'similar threads' before posting.
I am wondering what the difference is between a froyo kernel and a gingerbread kernel. I don't really need super specific technical details, just the semi-technical general answer.
The reason I ask is because I am running the Incredibly Re-engineered (v2.3.2) with the incredikernel v2.6.32.27 and noticed that the incredikernel thread got updated.
Incredikernel Thread
In the update, there is listed a froyo and a gingerbread specific kernel. Do you have to chose a specific one for a specific rom? If so, how do you know which one to chose.
My About Phone screen shows "Android Version 2.2" so I assume that means I need the froyo kernel?
Edit: I also noticed that I didn't finish the thread title. I meant to put Froyo or Gingerbread Kernel... Can this be changed after posting? I'm not the best with forums.
You are exactly correct, you would use the Froyo kernel. Froyo is 2.2, Gingerbread is 2.3, and you need to use a kernel for whichever version of Android you are running.
Perfect. Thank you very much.
the gingerbread kernels are for gingerbread based roms like CM7 you want the froyo one if you are still running android OS 2.2 ( look in the "about phone" tab in settings to confirm. also keep in mind that there are differant froyo kernels as well there is sense based kerners and AOSP kernels.
So the sense based kernels are based off of the HTC kernel? and AOSP is the completely open source project done by the community? How do you find out which type of rom you are running, other than looking on the forum/web page? Is there a spot in your phone settings that will list this? I've never seen one that I can remember.
Well, it's a matter of what flavor of Android the kernel is made for that determines if it's a Sense kernel or an AOSP one. As far as determining the ROM type, I am not aware of anything that specifically gives it away other than the general feeling of Sense verses the general feeling of AOSP; with Sense you have all the HTC widgets and apps, unless it's a Sense-less ROM.
TL;DR, your best bet is to just note what kind of ROM it is when you download.
Ok. Thanks for all of the help.
Hopefully any other newbies out there who have the same questions might get some use from this too.
You are certainly welcome.
Ok I have alot going on over here on my brothers Epic 4G. First off i rooted it and is running ACS SyndicateROM Twilight Zone 1.0.4 (Malanga) EB13 build, im pretty sure you guys know exactly which ROM thats is, but anyways, he is getting horrible battery life and I was going to try to put him back stock and see what the newest updates for the Epic would be. For some reason whatever I do to try to Odin it never works but thats another story. Basically what I want to know is what ROM out there that doesnt really have alot of bells and whistles and that has great battery life that I can load up? Since I cant seem to upgrade to EC05, I guess i have to stick with a EB13 build.
I also know kernels has alot to do with the battery life as well and right now its running kernel 2.6.32.9. IDK just by looking at the kernel you know if it has bad battery life or what. I am going to try to wipe the battery stats and see how that works out.
Sorry for all the noobish questions. I am very familiar with loading ROMS and kernels and Clockwork and all that since im a ROM tester for the Droid 1, and I know things are similiar but I do see their are some differences. If someone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
You probably won't get much response or get a response you don't want posting in a dev section.

some roms like midnights will automatically update you to ECO05, but a good, stock rom would have to be Simply ASOP, otherwise, just flash all the other EB13 roms. there hasnt been an update to most roms in months now though

#1. There is an update.zip to change the modem, have you tried this? I am unsure of Samsung's tool as I upgraded my modem through that update.zip that was made by ACS as well I believe, look around...
#2. Go to the ACS newest ROM (3/27) it is 1.1 I believe, and they have detailed instructions on how to upgrade, as well as pretty good instructions on Kernels, I would look at the Twilight kernel that runs with ACS well, just to keep it easy for now (although there are others and no disrespect to any others). The instructions to load the new kernel and modem will be in the ACS thread, please go there and read the first 2-3 posts that give you a good rundown of the ROM, and if you really do have some techie knowledge you should be able to easily load up the newest ROM....
I know this is the wrong section, but I'd rather help than bash, next time you can play with the forums and figure out where to post please (actually not general discussion, there is a Q&A page...).
I would really recommend ACS newest ROM 1.1 it is solid and the kernel is an excellent every day driver.
You may be having trouble going back to stock with odin die to the conversion to ectension4 try and tick the re position box if you go that route.
You won't be disappointed with acs 1,1 takira(i believe)
Peace

Moved to Q&A.
I hope I don't get flamed for asking. We all know that the stock Kernal is stable and seems to be working for every ROM. Can someone with more knowledge than I have append SBC code to the stock kernal so we can get some SBC lovin?
I believe they're working on it because the official kernel source just got released.
I think a lot of the work is being done to enhance the kernal by adding in UV, CPU governors, OC, etc, first which is pretty awesome, but I guess I'm just looking for SBC+ stock kernal.
Requests are not development. They belong in the Q&A forum. Thread closed.
I installed the new Express rom without installing a new kernel so I still have the stock kernel that is on the phone. I wanted to change to another kernel that goes well with this rom especially helping with battery life. What do you guys suggest? I was reading on the other forums and read to go with classic sbc kernel? not sure what is or where I would find the kernel to download. Thanks for the help!
There is no right answer. Different people have different results with the same kernel, so just try a few of the popular ones out for yourself. Experiment with different governors and I/O schedulers too.

This is just my two cents but I would personally go with either #1 choice: Underworld Kernel. Plan B: #2 choice: Mason Kernel.
