What is the best kernel for CM7 based ROMs? Opinions welcome... - EVO 4G General

Subject asks it all...., but please explain reason.

All I know is that I can only hit about [email protected] 1GHz on Quadrant.... CM7 2.3.3 ... not sure if its this EVO or what but my white one always hit 1250 on stock ROM stock stock... It hit 1550 on CM6 final. I'm not sure if its the ROM because I don't have that phone for comparison.. (stolen)...
My 3G speeds are also very slow.. sorry if off topic. Id like to know if a different kernel would help the Quadrant score.

Ok explain to me how your rant about quadrant has anything to do with the op' s question? Besides quadrant means nothing Imho . And the new quadrant will give low numbers.
I have tried just about every kernel around and
SavageZen ranks up there pretty high .
stock cm7 is a close 2nd for me and my phone .
SavageZen has sbc built in just a heads up .
from my phone duh

SavagedZen by FAR is the best kernel. The battery life I had with the SZ kernels on CM7 was unreal.
And SBC dangers are a myth. Stop freaking out about that.

I have to say SavagedZen.
Oh and there's a thread that has no-SBC versions floating around here somewhere.

Savagezen cfs is what my phone agrees with. your options are stock, savagezen, and tiamat. I would try different ones and see what works for you. Remember to give a kernel a day or two to settle in
swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO

In my opinion the best CM7 kernel is the CM7 kernel

Savaged zen... no question. The SBC thing does make me worry, though (and 0.2.1 doesn't have a no-SBC version).

Nopee You Just Choose The One You Like....Dead Horse Its One Of The best .. and overstock too
I personally like Overstock with Bionix. I get about what everyone else is getting with this set up, 1700's, for the quadrant. I read too many issues with Deadhorse vs Overstock so I went with it.
FTR, I was keeping up with the different builds right up to maybe the last two so I am NOT saying Deadhorse is bad. Many people have been satisfied with it.
Deadhorse from what I read is a little more customizable than Overstock but when it comes to the kernel I don't like to get that technical. I like mine in "here you go" form.

Quadrant scores does not matter, just an FYI.
I was running Overstock 1.3 and it seemed like my battery life was lower than it should be so I switched to categorically worthless and battery seems better. Could all be in my head tho.

Uh there isn't a best or worst! There is only opinion's. But if you want the highest clocked and most stable for that speed than i would say Redstar's 1190 kernel
http://redstar.euroskank.com/2.6.37.4/LIVE_DANGEROUSLY/OC_1190/
Just my 2 cents, like a @ssh0l3 everyone has 1
The other two posters are correct--
1. Too high and phone issues, some phones can handle them, a lot can't--be careful
2. Benchmarks are useless and overrated--I have been flashing kernals for almost a year and irregardless of my benchmarks (I haven't even done one for months), the phone seems no differnet for day to day use
3. I prefer the stock one on nightlies--great volume on audio
4. IMHO

I've had excellent results with Tiamat noSBC, on CM7 stock I was at 70% by the end of school idling, on Tiamat I was at 80% end of day... before I'd given the new kernel time to settle. Excellent battery, and smooth as hell. Highly recommended.
Is it overclockable.

Best rom for battery life and speed?

I started out with cm7 but the battery life was so-so. I tried a few other roms and kernel variations but nothing really stood out. My last rom was oxygen 2.1.4 using the netarchy kernel, but I was only getting about 1200ish in quadrant and oxygen seemed a little unstable.
I went back to using the new cm7 RC and the trinity UV kernel and the battery seems OK and i am getting around 2700 in quadrant.
Are there any other rom/kernel combinations that i should give a shot?

Don't base the ROMs speed on Quadrant alone, Oxygen is really fast.
Don't let an outdated benchmark test decieve you.

Correction: Dont let benchmarks deceive you.
Benchmarks regardless of what it is is pointless.
It was more that oxygen seemed unstable on my phone. I might give it another go if the new cm7 battery life sucks.

You might want to check that out. CM7 battery is fine for me. Like I said, Netarchy's 1.3.6 kernel (or 1.3.4) is a NECESSITY. use that and undervolt it using proton voltage control or setcpu and use the suggested volts suggested by proton (-20 across the board)

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

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.

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
