What is your favorite or Best kernel and why.

Just like t says what is either your favorite or best performance you have gotten out of a kernel and why. I'm currently using fresh 3.3.0.1 and cyanogenmod 6.1 and going back and fourth. Have only used stock kernels but am wanting to explore and try out some other ones to get the most perfprmanfe and battery out of my evo.

Please... not another thread about this. Just do a search, I'm sure you'll find something very recent answering the same question.

[REQUEST] Evo Shift 4g Forums

I dont know if XDA is waiting for the official release date to create the Forum, but some of us already have purchased ours through special promotions through Bestbuy/radioshack or whatever else. We need forums to discuss ROOTING!

Please
10chars

This is probably where we all should have been putting our requests to begin with

i dont know, where have the other requests been going?
i've been checking now for 2 days for one. Only one i found is on Androidcentral (dont wanna go there). I've seen your posts about your attempts at rooting and i think there needs to be a place for these types of posts rather than in the evo forums

I agree.
Please create a Evo Shift 4G forum.

maybe tomorrow?

We def need one. I'm surprised they havn't put one up yet. The moderators prob have the og EVO LOL JK.

Why would the EVO shift get sense 2.1 and the original only get 1.0

I just don't understand why the lesser model EVO got a better sense version guess that's how they are making us want the 3d even more

The only thing "lesser" about the Shift is the screen size. Aside from the name and Sense, they're two completely different phones and the Shift is the more powerful one.

The real question is, what does Sense 2.1 add that the Evo can't handle?

Let's not forget the almighty Dollar!
If they give it to the EVO one less reason to buy a new 3D!

Guess I need to check out the shift I was offered the choice of a shift or ns4g to replace my EVO due to being returned 4 times for warranty they both just seemed built cheap light n plastic feeling ill look at it a little more doesn't seem to be much development for shift either

HTC EVO 4G: Sense 1

That sounds like MARKETING?

Shift > Evo 4g

What was the original question? This doesn't make too much sense.

Um, yah, anyways. I'm just glad we have devs who take the time to port the updated versions if sense to those who want to stay on the cutting edge...

Now now I didn't excuse any one in this thread of anything

This is actually my 1st time posting sumthin on the forums but i've been rooted for the last 3 months jus 2 lazy 2 comment lol, but all my questions i have usually get answered bouncing aroung from rom to rom and using search and i kinda mostly do that to get around the "passionate" debates that pop up time to time lol anywho everybody have a good nite

Thread cleaned and infractions issued where needed.
I'm surprised by some of the members here posting and quoting such utter rubbish. Some of you have over 1000 posts and really should know better, and try to set an example. Does anyone here really find it productive to troll, and reply to trolls?
Sort it out, and grow up please.

My wife has the shift, she won't let me root it for her but hers has sense 1.0. I've checked everywhere and have not found an update for the shift anywhere, did they get a ported rom that brought sense 2.1 with it or am I missing something somewhere.

My wife has the shift and I don't see what's so amzing about it compared to the EVO. Granted I'm rooted and she's not, but I played with it when she first got it and now only touch it when she screws something up. All I have to say is Mikg, its absolutely amazing.

Best kernel for Epic 4G ICS?

Any idea? Stability + good battery?
I was using Legendary before, awesome battery life while at 1400Mhz all the time. It was amazing.
Anyone know which kernel I should use now?

YMMV but this was my battery today with the newest samurai kernel tanto
Sent From My Thugnificent SPH-D700 because its more than Magnificent

This being covered time and time again in many different posts over many different threads almost warrants no answer but ill give you one and here it is
try them all flash one per day till you find one that works for you the way you like it everyone uses their phone differently so no matter what you will get different results than i do or the next person that post on this

It's really up to you, try them out and see what you like the best. I've tried all 3 kernels currently out right now and they all work pretty good. The two I usually stick with are shadow kernel and the samurai kernel. Shadow kernel is nice and makes everything feel real snappy. You can overclock to 1400 mHz and the battery life for me is good. The newest shadow, tanto, overclocks to 1500 mHz and works with voodoo control. Haven't gotten the chance to really test battery since it just came out but so far it runs pretty good. Just test both of them out, you can always flash over another kernel.

I am pretty much a noob here and know better than to ask any "what's the best....." question. I have read it dozens of times that your phone and your use is different. Might as well ask us how you should dress too.

Also close to stock kernels like aprosamurai's. He likes to keep his stockish with a few tweaks and some new fixes. Just my opinion of what works best on my phone. Others like earthbound's are too tweaked for me but his is really fast and bleeding edge. Bbelos's are also good.

I'm using shadow now and have used apro's too and they both worked great. You need to experiment with them, and you're going to have to tweak to get better battery life. I had several trying to constantly run and none of them were things I use a lot so they had to go. If I wanted super battery life I would have bought a flip phone and not a micromini laptop, and I wouldn't have such a joyful device to tinker with.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Stock is always going to be the best for wanting nothing but the simplicity.
Put it like this when i buy a car, i put bigger tires on my car for grip, and better handling. But i know i will loose some gas mileage but not alot.
I'll put a turbo and some internals into my engine to gain in power but will loose gas.
But if we can put bigger tires and a bigger turbo but still have the same gas results as stock, Then why not do it?
We all benefit in one area and thats why custom kernels are there for those who want options that stock doesn't provide.
Stock= Base Model
Custom = Fully Loaded
Simple as that. So everyone should try different kernels and then reply not saying oh this is the best. But say IMO i prefer this over that simply because of these reasons. Everyone will want a specific kernel because one may like different things about the different kernels

If you want to keep close to stock: aprosamurai's.
If you want to live on the bleeding edge: earthbound's

So you had times with your evo.

This thread is about the evo 4g and what you guys experienced with it like your favorite roms,kernel,etc..
Most people are leaving sprint because poor data quality but people don't know that sprint is taking them down for better quality faster speeds and possibly 4G LTE in your area.
So all the people who are leaving or just want to share this is the thread for you.
Please fill free to share your favorite:
Kernel,roms,mods,apps,development history, amazing stuff,etc...

i once bricked it after only a week of use, great times with it. first phone with android os, there are bads and goods with evo. great screen, good signal, great custom roms, but battery life sucks, alsi lack of internel space. no rom was my particular favorite.

As long as I ran MIUI and as much as I love the ICS ROMs and can't go back, the best ROM ever was Koni Elite Series III with NetArchy-Toast 4.3.2 SBC Havs More Kernel.
EVERYTHING worked. Everything.
Battery life was unreal. I once tested to see how long I could go without a recharge and posted screen shots of 63 hours before I died.
Mason kernels are great, but the Netarchy kernels were incredible on battery life. I've never come close to that on any GB or ICS ROM.
BTW, most people are not leaving Sprint

Oh my I do miss my HTC EVO 4G. I got my first one on January 1st 2011. I drove to my nearest Sprint store hungover to all hell and being able to play with it was probably the only thing that made the hangover better.
Hmm let's see my EVO stats:
Favorite old-school hack:
*I got S-Off using UnrEVOked before it was Revolutionary
Best firmware:
*My best ROM/kernel combo was MikFroYo 4.61 using Netarchy 4.3.4 sbc-cfs-havs-more. I got 34 hours of battery life out of it.
PIcs or it didn't happen right? here's the pic
Favorite Memory:
*I hung out in the #htc-evo-4g channel on freenode for like 18 hours a day. I remember getting to test Myn's Synergy ROM before it was actually released.
Funniest moment:
I was dating someone at the time who was trying to break up with me, but I was flashing a ROM so she wasn't able to get a hold of me. So, she waited another month to do it. I got to bang her several more times before she finally pulled the trigger (she didn't have the guts to do it in person). So, flashing a ROM has actually gotten me laid. I'm with a much better woman now though
Worst moment:
I sold my EVO to Best Buy for $170 in order to purchase the Epic Touch on release day. I should've waited and kept the EVO 4G, I miss it. The great thing is I didn't bother to unhack it first, so when the Best Buy rep saw my custom splash screen, boot animation and that I was running a non-Sense ROM, he didn't ask any questions.
Dumbest moment:
I flashed a kernel that was from a different base than the ROM I was running and I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why my camera wouldn't work.
Greatest moment:
I had that phone for 11 months before I traded it in, more than twice the time I've spent owning any other Android phone. RIP lil buddy!
