Why Kernel 3.0 and not something newer? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am wondering:
In the thread over there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770095
everyone is talking about porting Kernel 3.0 for the HTC Desire (Bravo).
But why only Kernel 3.0? Kernel 3.0 is quite old now. Why not something newer, like Kernel 3.17 for example (which is the current one at the time of writing this)?
Just wondering.
Regards

[Q] kernels

hi, i'm about to flash leedroid v 2 on my desire hd, but i was wondering what the kernels in his site for? do i really need to flash them? and how?
This is what a Kernel does:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing)
Or, a short explanation: It's the interface between your Hard- and Software.
The faster and the more optimized it is, the faster, smoother and energy efficient your DHD runs.
If you're on Leedroids ROM you already have one of the best Kernels around.
In this case it only makes sense to flash another Kernel if you want to overclock your device. (And no, I won't describe overclocking, too. If you've clicked the link above, you're already on wikipedia to look that up, too ;-) ).
i think leedroids rom includes his latest kernel anyway, the flashable one is for people not using his roms
Every ROM comes with a kernel. Leedroid 2.0 came with a kernel. Then later Lee added some modifications to his kernel and a new kernel 2.0.1 was made available and so forth until 2.0.4. Since changes were somewhat minor he did not introduce a new ROM version. But this means different people may be using the same LeeDroid ROM each with different kernels and different experiences. For example the latest recommended kernel seems to be 2.0.3 as 2.0.4 has more battery drain.

I think mike, the maker of Android Revolution HD, had something on his thread regarding a custom kernel in the making. But I believe that will be for his rom ARHD 4.0.
Im also running coredroid v5.1 and im using the newest radio, 26.08.04.07_m3 and it seems to be pretty good. I think you should give it a shot, and you can always switch back if it does not work out.
We need the source files for the kernel from HTC before any custom kernels can be made. The source files will be released some time after the official gingerbread updates have been released.

Okej I will try it out & see how it works out..
But is there anyone who knowes where it comes from???
In the radio thread it say that it´s not fully tested and so on...
have U hade any problems with it??
Until HTC release their official Gingerbread OTA, i do not think there will be any custom'ed GB Kernels yet but now we just have a "prototype" one. As usual.. we have to wait. Im not sure about myself too.. would prefer to receive some comments too. =)

MIUI isnt that fast these days..
Try SGBS rom (v1.7) have sense and is very fast and stable.

Better wait for the official 2.3. I am using Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 Stable, but there is issue with call delay and mobile data connection problem. Now I am waiting for 2.3 official
I am running Insertcoin from around last 2 months and frankly speaking i never had any issues with the ROM. U can give it a try. U can get the rom from my signature.
Note: I never use HD recording or Playback on mobile, so i have never tested these functionality.
Yes, InsertCoin stable 1.0.8 seems to be bug free.
I used it also since about 2 months.
RCMix S v. 2.0.1 snm.
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113070&highlight=Recent+Apps easy to install.
For me AcesMod007 v24
Tried all roms but this one stands to be most stable and fast...
Leedroid is good too but battery hog.
Insertcoin is not bad but slow compared to acemod007.

From my personal experience I can highly recommend oxygen. It's a very clean and stable rom and I get a great battery life. Before using oxygen I tried leedroid, rcmix s, miui and redux. They are all nice and fast, but I really like the cleanness of oxygen and redux. I would have stayed with redux, but the developer did not have any time for further development for nearly two months, so I changed to oxygen. But I cannot see a big difference between redux and oxygen.
Ive tried loads, but an issue that kept recurring was depletion of internal memory. Therefore for the desire in my opinion the best roms are ones that allow data2ext or data2we which tricks your phone into thinking it has the internal memory limit you choose. I like gingerburst, a sense Rom since the whole thing is easy to set up and is stable. Just Google it and follow the instructions on the site
Cyanogen 7.0.3 works with the data2we. zip. If you don't like HTC sense, and is my close second Fave Rom

Rcmix 2.0, the cm7 variant
I'm running Leedroid 3.0.8.2 a2sd+ and loving it. No bugs found yet...

[Q] Kernel 3.0 Questions

Hi! I am an Xperia Arc S user that have the same SoC than the DHD. We only have an 2.6 kernel because we have the famous msm7X30 chipset. We're about a year and a half waiting. So, I'd like to ask about that.
1- If HTC did'nt release anything, would you have a 3.0 kernel?
2- How long do you have a 3.0 kernel?
3- Are the 3.0 kernel stable for daily use?

This area of xda has a lot of devs both Rom and kernel savvy. They took the 3.0 kernel and recompiled it to work with ace devices both for aosp and sense. However, since it doesn't come from an HTC source there are issues that may never be ironed out. In my opinion it depends on what you use your phone for to determine if it is a daily driver for you. For me I don't have issues as headset buttons not working is not an issue for me. There are other bugs too, but for me it's usable as a daily driver. I don't know how long we have had the 3.0 kernel but it has been a while.

Acualy, developers don't wait others, they r working hard on porting. I was switching between all ICS & JB ROM with their kernel, I found the most stable with vitreous kernel & almost have not problem on daily use.

[q] kernel for desire stock roms????

Can you update your kernel while you are on stock ROM?
Sorry for question if not good... I am new to android ..
Thanks & Regards
the newest kernel is 2.6.38.8:angel:
Huh? I'm pretty sure HTC's kernel is 2.6.35
I think you can flash other kernels as long you're rooted and have custom recovery.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2
Yeah 2.6.38.8 is the newest, but since HTC doesn't support more updates for the Desire I think erklat must be right and the stock kernel must be older than 2.6.38.8. Maybe he is right with 2.6.35. Haven't googled on that
