Hi guys, like the title says, I would like to ask in the forum what kernel are you using and why.
Like everyone here I want performance/battery but for that some tricks need to be done, so maybe a small exchange of ideas would be good for all.
Thank you
SUPERXE for me at the moment. I've had practically zero heat or battery problems, plus it's overclocked.

Hi
Can someone help im trying to find the best kernel for gaming
Sorry to hijack your thread man, just trying to keep the forums clean as I also have a question about kernels.
I read recently that slow data transfer speeds via USB could be combated by using the vorkkernel. I installed it but didn't really see much improvement? Apart from my phone started to fecking melt! Anyone else get major heat issue with vork?
My question is apart from flashing the entire Rom again, has anyone got the stock Cyanogen 7 build 8 kernel or a less hot one than vork?
Sent from the back o beyond using the smell of burning plastic via a vork kernel'd desire, s-off, N1 table, CM7 build8.
OP : I'm not sure if gaming is affected by kernels? Isn't it down to cpu speed and processor size? Also dependant on your Rom I think?
Although I'm prepared to be corrected on this, I don't have much experience with kernel dabbling.
First off, thank you to everyone who contributes to this community! I have been on here for some time now and the help/information available in these forums is amazing!
I hope that I am not being a noob by starting this thread and apologize ahead of time if I am incorrectly posting this. As I do not have very many posts under my belt I am unable to post to the development thread nor does it seem according to the forum rules that I should be posting questions like this there anyway. The last thing I want to do is upset anyone in this fabulous community.
Now down to business!
I am running the "gingerbread-evo-deck [1.3][2.3.7 Stable]" and just have a couple questions concerning my final setup to maximize battery life. I am in love with this ROM and all things deck but do have a couple concerns. Battery life is fantastic for me while phone is not in use but the battery does seem to drain quickly while actually using it. I am currently using Tiamat_Evo-v4.0.6-sbc kernel and have been running it for about a week now.
Q1: Should I be using Tiamat_Evo-v3.3.7-sbc Kernel(or "Lee" as I believe it is commonly referred to)? And, does this kernel offer full support for wimax and hdmi? From what I gather this seems to be the preferred kernel for AOSP ROMs.
Q2: What is proxsensorfix.zip? I saw this as an attachment in the development thread. Is this the fix for the Android System spike in battery stats? Will this improve battery life, and is it compatible with this ROM? Are there any negatives to applying this fix?
Q3: I think I have seen it mentioned that by downgrading the radio from the most recent release that battery life can be improved. Can anybody confirm this? What are thoughts on this?
Thank you in advance for any info that can be given on these subjects!

Q1: 3.3.7 SBC or 4.0.8 SBC kernels have worked great for me on Deck GB 1.3.
Q2: Not sure about proxsensorfix.zip, but the phone.apk w/o proximity is what I use, as I've heard the proximity sensor does use more CPU, which drains battery faster.
Q3: I'm using the latest radio and WiMax, and experience no problems whatsoever.
IMHO, Deck's 1.3 is the best ROM out there hands down. I've been using his AOSP ROMs from the start and have not been disappointed. PM me if you have any questions......
Have you considered using vipermod to undervolt? it will save you more battery

Thanks for the suggestion. I have not done any undervolting yet but was thinking about looking into it.
Okay, I'm pretty settled in on the Lee kernel now and have undervolted 50mv. Things are running pretty smooth.
Another question tho! Is the V6 Supercharger suppose to help with battery life at all? This is not entirely clear to me. And if not, I don't see much need for it as my phone seems to run just fine without it.
Also... android system spike in the battery stats, seemingly after a phone call. Is there a fix for that? This also is unclear.

Has anyone had good experience with using Pimp My Rom and a custom kernel such as KKO? I've always heard people talk about Pimp My Rom in the comments on so many ROMs and Kernels that I tried it for myself and not sure how the performance will be. I'm more of a battery first kind of person who can bare a little bit of lag. Anyone have some good advice or had really excellent results and care to share their setup? I know kernels and governors vary on device and the user but just would like to see. I apologize if this is already posted but it seems to be a dead topic and dont want to revive a very very old one.
So I've been running JBSourcery4.4 and have been loving it so far. As of right now I'm wondering about a kernel change with this ROM to maybe improve battery life. Any suggestions would be helpful. So far I've been thinking of tiny kernel. Sorry for the repetitive question but I'm just curious to see what other people have been trying. Thank you.
every device is different so what works for great me wont necessarily work great for you...anyway i have tried ALL kernels and AK has been working the best for me on 4.2.1, link is in my sig
Hey guys, so i have an overall question. why does my phone get massive battery drain when on a 3.4 kernel. on a 3.0 kernel i get amazing baterry life, but on a 3.4 its unusable. is this a known issue, i have looked around and seen some others complaining about this. is there a fix for this or what. Also is there anything that i need to do to fix this
'thanks in advanced
The 3.4 kernels are pretty new. Expect hiccups, and also that things are probably a little more redundant than necessary. May be why you have bad drain.

Try using dkp. I'm not gonna link to it because its easy enough to search. (Dkp d2spr). In the test build section, the most recent and at the top. That gives me good battery life with these settings. I've never gotten good battery life with the included kernels, I think they're more aimed at stability and performance.

thanks for your help guys, i tried dkp it was better but i just switched back to a 3.0 rom, hopefully 3.4 becomes more evolved cause all the new roms use it and i gotta miss out on it
