What is the best kernel so far? - HTC One X

I was wondering. I have viper x 3.3.7 with the latest kernel they provided. I had the ncx kernel before on 3.3.6. What I mean is which is the best kernel to choose that offers oc, uv, better battery life or performance or both?
I want to hear suggestions not a war.

Every device is different. One kernel might run fine on one device but not another so I think it is a pointless question tbh. But I prefer xm

Try all the top three currently available
In no particular order:
1. XM Kernel
2. NCX Kernel
3. kozzmik kernel
:good:

You have to try the various kernel.
Because every device have a different version of tegra 3.
In fact, every device support a different uv and oc

For sense the stock kernel is the best and the most stable
for AOSP I think ncx is the best

NCX is for sure amazing for balance between performance and battery but Kozmikkick is just as good if not a bit more powerful with less battery life.

This is the problem with this question - it has a different answer depending mostly on the USE of the device - which is why everyone has a different view on which kernel is better or worse.
I've tested a few on AOSP (NCX, XM, Trip's and... er... sorry - I can't remember the last one right now!) and PERSONALLY I go with NCX, because it's the default for my rom (so one would think it's heavily tested) and it has very good battery life and the performance EASILY covers anything I throw at it.
XM does sound like it's more geared towards performance than the NCX, but as I said I didn't notice it - everything ran just as smooth, either kernel for me.

All of them

There is no "best" Kernel. I suggest you read through the posts in the dev section and try a few. Its best to make up your own mind based on your needs. Everybody has a favourite, so discussions can get over heated. Thats why the moderation team generally closes "best" threads.​

(Q) Best kernel for MIUI atm?

I'm very new to MIUI and am now on Squeezed edition by Mr.Garak (lovely btw). From what I've been reading there are a few kernels out there which people swear by. The 2 most prominent ones seem to be Lord's and Talon. I'm on Talon 1.04 atm as it came with the rom I'm on (1.9.30)
Now to the questions...
What is the difference between the two? Is one focusing on speed and the other on batterylife?
Any major issues with either one? Which one should I go for when I want a troublefree fast rom with great batterylife using setcpu and no UVscripts?
And what governers are you guys using?
MIUI is CM7 based, so anly CM7 kernel should work. One piece of advise, if the kernel as a CFS and a BFS version, DO NOT USE the BFS one.
As to which kernel is better... it's highly relative. Try them both
IMO Talon is great when it comes to batterylife. It's also fast, but not as fast as Lord's, but again, the battery life is great.
Test them both and see for yourself.

Using talon 1.05 ATM, working very well.

[Q]What kernel should I use? for my SGS2

Hello XDA forum,
I am new here, and I was wondering..
I have rarity ROM v3.9.7,
the rom is amazing but I am unsure of the kernel I should be using.
What I want from the kerenl: Battery life is the most importent part, but also smoothness and stability.
I saw 2 options but I am unable to decice:
1: Siyah V 2.2 beta 9 kernel
2: Speedmod K2-18-test 3
I do not want to OC or mess around with voltages, I just want a good kernel for daily uses with good battery life.
Any suggestions?
Speedmod is working fine with me.
Good battery life , smoothness and stability
What version are you using?

use speedmod..download the latest version and do not touch anything and you should be fine..just flash like normal mate
hello i have the same question
i flash speedmod kernel with cwm but i have problem with cwm (without full fonctions )?
Any other suggestions?
As Post 4 said, Speed Mod it should be.
Now it all depends on you. If you want a kernel with UV/UC potential with a lot of Governors then go for Siyah, but if you are like me, who loves simple things, then Speed Mod should be the one.
K2-18 is still under observation by Hardcore, as well as K2-17. The last fixed release is K2-16. Now you choose which one you want.
Regards.
Thank you for your answer,
I want the version which is most stable, reliable, and long lasting battery there is.
I tested both siyah and speedmod .i think the best is siyah kernel with sensation rom by crysis the battery life is more than excelent

SpeedMod - for battery improvement
Syiah - for phone performance

Corrected siyah for flexibility lot of options totally customizable.
If correctly done better battery life than speedmod or in another way awesome performance.
SpeedMod no nonsense install forget. Good battery life and rock stable.

I'm currently using Siyahkernel 2.2beta9 (later does have launcher-lag Q.Q for me) with the lulzactive guvernor. I've tried a lot of different kernels and I find this one to be the best considering perfomance, smoothness and batterylife. I've used the kernel to greatly undervolt both my CPU and GPU with great stability. I do recommend this one.
EDIT: Using the 14th beta and it's awesome! (ment undervolt before, not underclock!)
I'm currently using Siyah 2.1 with SavagedZen governer. Battery life is excellent and performance not bad either - more than suitable for my needs.
As other posters have suggested, Speedmod is a great 'flash and forget' kernel with good battery life and performance - very balanced. I'd give it a go if you don't want to mess about with undervolting or governers
By the way, your posted this question in the wrong forum this is SGS2 Accessories forum...

What exactly is a kernel?

Well I'm used to flashing roms, mods, boot.img 's through recovery and what not but I always see people talking about different kernels, i've tried searching but can't find any explanations of what they actually do and how you go about installed them on the one x? Are there any disadvantages from installing a different kernel,
Thanks for your help

It depends. Many custom kernels allow for undervolting, but at the expense of slightly sluggish performance coming out of deep sleep as the CPU ramps up to decent speeds again. Personally, stock kernel is pretty decent but currently using Faux's kernel for the GPU boost while gaming.
Just to confirm, I want to install franco's kernel on android revolution 9.0.0, so do i just install the rom as I usually do, then just flash a new boot.img and flash the kernel and that's it?
Just to add.. it goes without saying. Stock kernels are always the most stable and to be honest seem to be just as good performance and battery life as custom ones, if not better!:what:

Which kernel is the best custom kernel for note 2

I am now using Perseus, but I would like to try another one.Pls recommend....

I prefer N.E.A.K. in conjunction with uNEAK Engine and their Multi-Core Manager for better battery life.
Depends on what you're looking for. There's no objectively "best" kernel - and neither are these threads allowed here.
I'm using Devil at the moment, and it's great. Dual booting AOSP/TW.
Well, I agree it's all subjective. I am trying a little bit to add some objectivity by having the Grand Survey of ROMs+Kernels for the N7100 and N7105.
I've integrated both ROM and Kernel selections so you can rate and score both of these factors and also rate a value for Screen On Time.
You can see the aggregate values of people who have tried various ROM and Kernel combinations, and a separate value for the Screen On Time they have achieved.
You can then determine which is best for your usage.
You may pay a visit to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232765
and I invite everyone to post their own entries for all ROM and Kernel combinations you've tried. Allows specific version selection.
many people says that the Stock Kernel is always the best
I'm using Perseus too atm (OC & UV for better battery life) and the performance is very good
I haven't tried other kernels/roms yet, still feeling my way around android this being my first device (N900 user)

Stock's fine - but don't think it's the best. For instance, color calibration, DEE, headphone volume amplificaiton etc. aren't possible without custom kernels. I would highly recommend custom kernel, personally.

Devil. Lot of other features you take granted for, you can read changelog for the record. Sound amplification, Screen calibration (i.e. perfect color reproduction rather than awful samsung calibration) are the ones I find most important. On devil because it supports dual boot.

In fact many people say that the stock ROM is the best, not so much for kernels.
Because unlike the full ROM, the kernel is entirely opensource, it means that it is possible to retain all features from stock while adding customization.

[Q] [HELP] Best ROM for Hardcore Gaming w/ Good Battery Life

Hello guys I just switched to HTC One X and currently on stock ROM. As for my taste I don't like to stay on that, I found difficult too to choose the best ROM available here, I'm confused actually. I'm new to HTC flashing stuffs and I want to prevent flashing then unhappy with it, because when that happens I have no idea yet to return to stock. So I just want a little tips from you guys based on daily used.
I would like:
-Good Battery Life
-Ultimate Gaming Performance that I can play Asphalt 8 (High) with no lag
Thank you guys and appreciate your suggestions...
I'm noob and this is the best I can do for now, ask

You cannot have both at same time: heavy gaming will drain battery significantly, and good battery comes with sacrifying certain performance.
- If you prefer gaming, try XM kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136731
- Good battery life, try Alex V kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226360
Also, make some tweaks (under/overclock) of cpu/gpu to best suits your needs, but do with caution as wrong settings can damage your phone.

Oh my...thank you so much. But after reading reviews about HOX heating up problems, maybe this time I prefer not to overclock.
Guess I'd go with Alex-V Kernel but what are the ROMs compatible with it? It didn't mention on the thread
