Do kernals wipe data?
Can any kernal work with any rom (like AOKP)?
Do kernals up performance?
Compared to Roms what helps more for performance?
If anyone knows a really good rom for performance but still having some extra features from AOKP or something please let me know!
Cheers.

1. No. Not unless the dev specifies that it does.
2. No, there are AOSP/AOKP kernels and kernels specific to Touchwiz
3. Yes, custom kernels can up performance. That, and better battery life are usually the intent.
4. A combination of both, although custom kernels give the user more control over the matter than custom ROMS.
Kernal List?
Thanks for the reply!
Is there a thread with a list of AOKP kernals?
Cheers.

Not specifically that i'm aware of.. Best thing to do is look on the Kernel's OP, Should say if it works on AOKP (Which i believe most will)

Ok... can someone please tell me what HAVS, CFS and SVS means?
HAVS - no idea
CFS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completely_Fair_Scheduler
SVS - no idea
lol... i guess google is my friend
HAVS (Hybrid Adaptive Voltage Scaling) What this does is provide SUPERIOR BATTERY
Really? Anyone else use these kernels? Whats the risk, is it risky like flashing a Radio?

No, only thing is some undervolted kennels might not be stable so always nandroid before changing kernel.

Brill - I have some Nandroid backups, so if anything goes wrong the recovery will still work, and I can restore... excellent. Thought so
AOSP Kernel for SENSE ROM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ#Kernel
here's a link with "all" neccesary informations
--------------------------------------------------------------
i would like to add a new question in this thread:
is it possible to use an AOSP Kernel like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893484
with my SENSE-ROM ? (currently using ReflexTSense http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791315 )
thx
No, at least I know that way. You have to use a Sense kernel with a sense ROM, like this to run without problems.
so there's no option to use newer Kernels with Sense-ROM's ..
thx for the information
Sorry to break into your thread, but does it work the other way round? I mean, is it possible to use a Sense kernel with an AOSP rom?
sense with asop and the other way
i tride som ASOP Kernel with my SensHD Rom and it worked "booting
i found a flickerning screen but it worked; i refalashed a sense kernel
i think that the other "Way" should also work with some "issues"
greetings..
ps: i somewhere on thos forum found a discussion between two ROM-Programmers about using ASOP Kernel in Sense roms.
As far as i remember they both found the conclusion that sense-kernel are using differetn Graphicdrivers so that a asop kernel never will run "full" with a sense-rom but the ASOP Kernel COULD be modded in "future"
Hey guys and the NEWBIE (me) is back...
1. How do i get the SBC kernal??? I heard its a great kernal for extended battery life
2.How do i install it? I currently have CM7 installed as a rom
Thanks
Go search the Android Development section for AOSP kernels and find one that supports SBC. I think Savaged-Zen kernels and Tiamat kernels are the best and have sbc choices.
kernel manager in the market, its the easiest way

Bump +1 for kernel manager. Make sure you spell kernel correctly, else you may not find it. Free version works fine as a newbie user.
Thanks everyone
In general:
1) Dowload kernel to the root of your phone and boot into recovery
2) Wipe davlik
3) Wipe cache
4) Install kernel from the root of your phone and reboot
Go to "About Phone" to check the kernel
OR, download Kernel Manager.

jsantos, what the guys said above is a great start... not to fear-monger or anything, but do you know exactly what the kernel is, and the various types of kernels that are out there? I'm not one to discourage the use of any particular type of kernel/ROM, but before diving headfirst into it without really knowing the ups/downs of it, it'd behoove you to make sure you know what you're getting into. That being said, I dug up some links that should help you out.
Here is a link regarding SBC kernels that you probably should check out, as it pertains to potential major issues with them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890448
Here is a link to probably the best guide on explaining kernels for the EVO, brought to you by mroneeyedboh... this page explains the various categories of kernels, and how they affect your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894880
Finally, here is a link to a page written by skydeaner, containing testing and benchmark information on many many different kernels for the EVO (including SBC and non-SBC variants), which may help you determine which kernel is actually best for your needs:

Best of luck to you!
noob kernel knowledge here.
is there a way to run test on different kernels to see which is more efficient or has an improvement? i'm about to flash ManU 2.0
For battery efficinecy - just the long run test.
Other way you can try test like - RL Benchmark, Quadrant, Antutu, Neocore, SD Speed Test etc.
i cant seem to find any other custom roms for desire besides ManU and MoDaCo Custom Kernel (MCK). are there any others out there and which is 'better'?

Hi.
I think you wanted to say "any other custom kernel for desire". If this is true take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328 at the 3rd post. There you have kernels for AOSP ROMS and Sense ROMS.
Hope it helps you.

Coutts was doing awesome kernel's but he abandoned project i think, you can still search the forums for it. (they are kinda outdated now)
kinda seems to me all the kernel are kinda like an 'in built' setCPU

Such a great thread thanks for that, never seen it before
What are the differences?
I'm using Android Revolution HD 3.0.0 now and in the description mike1986 claims that stock 3.0.8 kernel is the best so far but with so many people using franco's kernel it must be better or am i wrong?
Also, will flashing franco.kernel on Android Revolution cause any bugs etc? (I'm kinda new to this whole flashing kernels part)
(If there are better roms do not hesitate to recommend me one and please tell me what's better if thats the case )
Thanks in advance!

I can not list the differences for you exactly just go to franco's thread. There are many advantages to flashing a custom kernel. The kernel devs work hard to make the kernel's better than stock in many ways. You'll get extra features and extended battery life for sure out of a custom kernel. Stock better? I dont think so! Flashing a kernel after a rom is the way you have to do it but, ya some settings might not work if the kernel dev had done things differently from the rom dev.
give it a shot if you dont like it you can always reflash your rom package to restore the roms kernel.
before flashing a kernel (or reflashing your rom after flashing a custom kernel) wipe your dalvik cache
so many people around here have a boner for franco but I always highly recommend GLaDOS kernel its imo the best and most advance but to each his own

Installing it now, let's see if you're right about GLaDOS

Hi, I am looking for a ROM that is stable and faster than stock. What ROM would be the best for this? I haven't really tried ROMs since I last put Cyanogenmod on my CDMA HTC Hero, so I don't have the best idea of what's out there and what works. I also searched "performance ROM" just to make sure this hadn't been asked recently.
I'm running TWRP and the latest SuperSU, if that matters.

There won't be a faster Rom. What you can try is flash a kernel that supports overclocking. Although, imho, you won't be blown away by the increased performance, it's all marginal.
Stock Rom is already very fast. Other Roms will also be very fast. It's usually a matter of options that the custom Roms offer. You can tweak more. But will they have a noticeable performance improvement, I think not. YMMV obviously

Ah, thank you. I had such a massive performance jump from 1.6 to 2.2 and then 2.2 to 2.3 Cyanogenmod on my Hero that I thought I might get something similar out of a custom ROM again.

Simply make a Nandroid of your current Rom and experiment like crazy
If you find a custom Rom that blows you away: keep using it. If you don't find any advantages or worse: restore Nandroid :good:
Custom ROM makes only sense if you want special functions / features of a specific ROM.
Many special features can also be activated in stock ROM by apps like Xposed, GMD apps etc.
So most probably a custom ROM is unnecessary. Just look for a good kernel (Franco, Elementalx, Faux...) if you want added performance, battery life or filesystem support.
