So I am running the DL09 with superclean 0.4. My issues are with kernals. I installed stupidfast 1.54 from rom manager that is a stable kernal. The kernal worked great, but got rid of my boot animation. I installed others, and none worked. So I am guessing that kernal doesn't allow for boot animations? At that point, I had 69% battery left.
So I download and install the stupidfast test kernal that is low voltage and not overclocked. Boot animation worked right after the reboot. Then my battery reads 24% left.
My question is, why is there such a different in battery life? Is one not representing accurately? I like these kernals because they don't distort my audio. I have installed others through the forums that distort it and make it pop. I have also read to install setcpu and change the processing speed to eliminate the popping problem. Personally, I don't want to use setcpu when a kernal can take care of the problem.
So, what kernal would be best or do they react differently with different phones?
Thanks for all the help!
False battery reading? I had issues with stupid fast kernels as well. Lost root and boot animation switched to other voodoo over 1300mhz no issues at all.
The development forum section is not for questions. It is for active development of code and other development processes. This thread does NOT fall under that category, as such it has been moved to the proper section, the "General" Section.
Thank you.

Okay let first start off by saying I have commitment issues. Lol. I rooted my Epic yesterday, i"m pretty sure it is a permanent root. After rooting I did a full wipe of data/factory and cache.
Now I didn't know which rom to install. Bakedsnack or epicexperience. My preferences are better battery life and best looking launchers/themes after first boot without installing any other kernels since I'm a noob. So idk which Rom fits my preferences more (some help with please?)
However, I installed bakedsnack, used it for a few mins and went back to recovery to install epicexperince (I did not wipe data/factory again). After I installed it I rebooted the phone but all i get is a blank screen after the sprint 4g logo. I could hear some notifications like when I connect my charger it makes that sound. SO the phone is on but screen is blank/black. I did get a bit tense so I went back to recovery and again I didn't wipe anything but I just reinstalled Bakedsnack.
Now for the commitment issues, I was using bakedsnack without a default launcher for 3 hours. Didn't know which one to choose (touchwiz, awd or launcherpro). After 3 struggling hours i ended up with launcher pro(and now I found out about the app called home switcher -_-).
So idk if its a problem for me installing a rom 3 times. Did my epicexperience get automatically uninstalled? or is it still in the system?
Another question, when I go to settings>about phone, for my firmware version it says Baked-snack-1.2, and the kernel version says 2.6.29. Is the kernel supposed to say that or is it supposed to show that a custom kernel is installed?
(i think bakedsnack has a custom kernel).
Now can anyone pleaseeee help me about choosing a rom. Hopefully epicexperience will work if I do a clean wipe which I didn't try yet. But i'm open to any advices, suggestions. Can anyone with experience tell me which rom is all around better for battery life, looks.themes/launchers/widgets, performance?
One last question (sorryyy!!!), I leave juicedefender running 24/7 so my data/3g could be disabled whenever the phone is idle. Logically, I think this saves battery, but i've read here and there that literally bakedsnack rom saves more battery without juicedefender running. Is this true? if yes, then how?
I am sorry for such a huge post but I am confused lol.. Thank you very much for bearing with me. I appreciate it a lot and will appreciate any help. Once again Thanks.
Wrong section, but ill take a stab at these.
When your asking the question about performance and battery life between backedsnack and epicexperience. You really can't compare. The battery/performance driving engine aka kernal is not included in epic experience. You find and flash your own. However the EE (epic experience) rom has quite a few tweaks to it. Including the new reboot from system menu. Backedsnack I can't say forsure about it. I ran 1.3 but seemed buggy to me. And switched back to epic. And for you battery question. Overclocked kerrnals save battery ushually by undervolting the cpu and setting the govener to save you battery. Therefore any program that would run in your backround 24/7 is just going to eat battery. Even if it says it saves battery, it still has to run to do so. And that's just my 2 cents. Next time please post in a different section

ahh sorry for posting here.. just very new to these.. i think bakedsnack already has the cpu undervolted, but how can I do it and set the govener manually just to be sure?
thx a lot for your reply.. increasing my knowledge base.. can you please be a bit more specific to how epicexperience has more tweaks to it? and does it look better than bakedsnack? i'm loving the bakedsnack notification pull down window..

Alright, well since your new to all of this I wont get into technical detail to confuse you.
But, now that you have flashed Baked Snack, you are running Baked Snacks kernel as well as the ROM. What I suggest you do is go to recovery and than wipe data/cache/dalvik cache (Located in Advanced). And than flash Epic Experience, than reboot. After it boots up, you will be running Epic Experience with Baked Snack kernel because Epic Experience doesn't have its own Custom Kernel so it keeps the kernel you have on the system already.
Now, Epic Experiences theme is nothing like BakedSnacks, and your probably nto going to like EE's theme if you like BakedSnacks, so what you should do is go to the Themes And Apps part of this forum and go to Baked Snack Theme. Download that and put it on your SD card, go into recovery and flash it just like you flash ROM's and Kernels.
Now you will be running Epic Experience ROM, Baked Snacks Kernel, and Baked Snacks theme. Thats your best bet because Epic Experience has a great rep around here because its constant updates.
Theres my two cents.
Also, check out the Emotionless Beast theme in the themes and apps section, Mysteryemotionz combined Baked Snacks theme and Androdena Theme together, it looks awesome.

whoaa I didn't know that was possible. So it keeps my bakedsnack kernel which already has the cpu undervolted? how can I know for sure one I install EE? gonna give it a shot now. THANKSSSS a lot man.

Oh and what do you recommend I do for the best battery performance? should I leave this kernel or should I flash phoenix? still having commitment issues whether I should keep this EE (i have installed it successfully). Its running perfect for me but I compare the logs between EE and Bakedsnack, and bakedsnack seems to offer so much more: better battery all around, faster performance (from what the log states), camera tweaked to get better videorecording framrates (im a huge camera guy). The only thing stopping me from going back to bakedsnack is that the forums are only for authorized help, so I cannot educate myself further about the rom lol.. and the developer is less fan-friendly.
what od you think about me running juicedefender 24/7? will it help me or harm me with the battery usage?
anyone? please..
Hey, quick question: I am on mytouch 4g cm7 ROM
What is a safe max to set the overclocking at? Obviously I don't want to burn the chip, but I want to make it as fast as possible. I have LauncherPro, currently my max is at 1.4, but sometimes it lags when I gesture to expand home screens.
I have 7 Home screens, all of them have 1 or more widget..
Thanks
1.5 is a good speed but you really wanna avoid charging when its set that high. so when charging set it to 1.2. Also what Kernel are you using? Defaults on Faux123 ASOP kernel should do well. I'n still on T-Mo stock and i run defaults with Faux123 Sense Kernel and i have no lag at all so CM7 whit its optimized code and no bloat it should run like a dream with one of his kernels, no OC Needed
Edit: corrected Link

Will the Kernel you linked to work with CM7 rc3? It only mentions CM6
Nm, Cm7 is the gingerbread...see it..got it, thanks!
I kept mine at 1.2ghz. Never gave me a problem.

So I flashed 2.3.0 , then like the thread says, before rebooting, I flashed 2.4.3 stock version.
However, I am getting a wi-fi error. I saw some posts on it, and they said to "fix permissions". So I did that, yet still seeing a wi-fi error.
So for now, I restored my backup, but I would really like to have this kernel, do you know what I am doing wrong or what I can do to fix it?
Thanks
My mistake i linked the wrong Kernel here you go.

Yeah, I did use that link, however as described above, the wifi is giving me an error..any idea of a fix or what I am doing wrong?
I was getting the same issues. Then I reflashed the rom, rebooted before turning wifi on and had no problems. Also have had no problems set at 1.75 max and .75 min on minmax. Have been using that setting since faux started making his kernels (cm7 amd froyo based) and have never froze once. Quadrant scores for the new evil dhd ext 4 rom at 2900.

First I am a n00b. This is my first time rooting anything and while I work in IT, I am far from a developer, I want to thank anyone who is willing to help me...thanks a billion!
Using verygreen's directions I installed CM 7.1 with gingerbread 2.3.7 and kernal 2.6.32.9
1) How do you know when it is time to update?
I went to the links provided on verygreen's forum but looks like the nightly's have not been updated in a while (assuming everyone is focused on 7.2 and cm9)
2) Same question about the Kernal
3) How do I actually update the Kernal, I know the nightlys are just drag and drop. Is that the same with the Kernals?
Are there no more updates for 7.1? Should I be focused on updating to CM9/ics or 7.2?
4) I tried to install supercharger, but when I configure it it gets stuck on the android icon loading screen (once it is configured and reboots), any ideas?
One last question, I set to overclock at 1200 but when I run Quadrant is shows that my nook is running slower than the samsung galaxy phone...any ideas? Is Quadrant accurate?
check rom manager and hit check for updates, it will tell you if there is a new update for your device, backup your current rom and flash ics nightly and see how you like it, and if you want to go back just restore back to cm7, hope this helps
I don't know how much work is still being done in CM7 -- most development seems focused on ICS/CM9. You can follow along in the main CM9 development thread in the dev sub-forum here. Unless I see something big was released, I have just been downloading the latest nightly every week or two lately.
I believe the kernel is always included in the nightly builds, so unless you want a custom one, there shouldn't be anything more required.
I'm not sure about the V6 Supercharger problem. I've run this as well without any issues. I guess double-check all of the instructions for running this.
Finally, for the overclock, I'm personally running 1200 as well with the InteractiveX governor (I believe Dalingrin recommended this). I personally haven't compared benchmarks, but am happy with the performance. You usually do have to take benchmarks with a grain of salt anyway, especially when comparing across different devices. Depending on the actual test, a lot more than just clock speed can affect the results.
I've switched over to the KANG build - he's updated it since the CM7 nightlies have stalled, and over the 3 days that I've used it I really prefer it to n253.
Thanks for your responses
Sorry for the late thanks..I was on a business trip last week (skiing) and work has been crazy this week, but wanted to take the time to thank you all for responding. I really appreciate it. Best wishes. I will def take a look. Cheers!
Hi,
I am on Taboonay 2.2 Rom (HC 3.2.1) and everytime I use the internal 3G of my A501, the system ends up freezing.
At no particular activity but when accessing Data, android freezes. Only option is to reboot...
Very very annoying.
Any idea where it could come from / possible fix ?
Usually occurs while undervolting too much...
Hmmm, i am on taboona's 2.2 rom with latest thor kernel. I have made no oher changes / tweaks.
Would there be better kernel / specific tweaks for A501s in order to get 3G to work well?
Can you tell me how i go about tweaking voltages? I looked into setCPU but it only talks about reducing CPU votltage...
More help would be greatly appreciated.
Up please help me.

Your version of Taboonay, more than likely uses the 3.7+ Kernel from Richard Trip. Unfortunately, this specific kernel has not enough board voltage to sustain internal 3g. As a result, your display will either Freeze, or tablet will go into Sleep of Death.
Both require a reboot.
The best kernel for your tablet (a501), would be RichardTrips 3.4+. This will allow proper voltage to the system board, while giving a little better battery compared to a Stock Kernel.
You can search the Dev thread for the post by RichardTrip, containing links to his HC kernels. I believe he already has them in a flash.zip file for CWM. Just wipe Dalvik and flash through CWM or RA Recovery.
Any questions, post back.
Thanks man, you solved it!
Looking forward to getting my hands on a performing and stable ICS rom for A501 with working 3G... Meanwhile I am happy with what I have.

Yes, Taboonay has been around for awhile. In fact it was the first Rom I installed. But as you discovered, when it went to the newer kernel, is when the issues with the 501 started.
Not a lot of kernel Devs, and only for the 500. Although 501 can use them for the most part, the UV is too much for the 3g. A pity at least one kernel Dev would own a 501 but they all own 500's.
I've got a stable ICS. But, the battery life isn't the best. Nothing can do till the next beta release for the 501. Also, I will not support HC Bootloaders, so folks will have to upgrade to an ICS bootloader. Not going to get into the mess of supporting different roms/kernels/bootloaders.
Hi!
I want to overclock my A500 and i try to change as less as possible.
So I started from the stock 4.0.3 rom, rooted the A500 and installed
setcpu. Unfortunately I cant set the max beyound 1000Mhz. So I am
a little bit stuck here ....
There are threads about overclocking-able kernels ...
Custom Roms ...
Bootloaders ...
What do I have to do to get a A500 with "near" stock rom functionality and the ability to overclock .... or can I modify the stock to oc ability?

Have to have the oc kernal.
As Shaun stated, you have to have a kernel built for OC/UV. A factory stock kernel does not have this capability.
If you have an a500, EZ_Terry has some recent OC kernels for flashing through CWM recovery. I believe you may also find it on Civato's thread as well. (same kernel).
A500 OC/UV kernels are in new development, so you won't find a lot of choices yet.
One note about OC/UV,,,, make your settings, then play with the tab for some time to ensure no random reboots, or other issues. Find the speed that works best for you. Usually 1504 is about the highest you want to go, and stay stable. Be careful about too much UV (undervolt).
Then, and only then, when you are satisfied, should you select the option "apply at boot". During testing, you can reboot, and it goes back to the defaults.
If you select the apply at boot option, that's where it stays. This can cause issues if you have unstable selections, and are forced to re-install the rom to fix it.
MD
Depending on what you use the tablet for, oc is often over rated.. Solid roms like flexreaper I find require none to be smooth as can be.. Uv. However can really save some juice
