Does the kernel you are using matter? I would think so?

The kernel should only affect whether SetCPU can actually overclock, not whether it remembers its own settings
^ but it could already overclock... If you had an oc kernel.

Correct. Your point?
Hmmm maybe it was just me but everytime I restarted my phone the app would have like 100min/100max on 528mhz??
Now it actually remembers!

LOL im an idiot
I've been following this and other threads about over and underclocking CPU and having now rooted I'm curious. I also don't want to be one of those people where a little knowledge is more dangerous than a lot. Is there truly an inherent danger or is it people pushing the device to its extremes trying to maximize its abilities? What is the overall difference and noticeabilty? Thanks!

I have zero issues with my overclock. And actually I just have it to take advantage of the undervolt and overclock when the screen is off. I'm using the kernel included with syndicate and it works great and is very stable.

I'm using that as well. I may give it a try after I get an idea of what settings people find are best.
I've had my Epic for about a few days now and I'm starting to feel like I made the wrong choice. I chose mostly on the hardware, than the software. The battery drains like the phone has a hole in it, the TW UI is just bad and I can't use the regular launcher. I'm sure this phone would be better with pure android. So what should I do? ROMs, Kernals, etc. Thanks in advance!

Seriously though, did you try launcher pro or adw or any other launcher yet? Get a task killer, estrongs is the one I use. Use it. Move all apps that don't have a widget to the sd card.. custom roms IMO are still too buggy..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
There's definitely a nice selection of Kernels and ROM's available, take a look at the development section, read through some of the features of the different ones available, and see if you find one you'd like to try.
In the end, whether you keep the phone or return it for a Nexus, is all up to you... none of us can really answer this for you, because we all have different wants and needs in our phones.
And fwiw, software side of this phone can be easily modified/customized, so if you're happy with the hardware, then perhaps you should look into the software customization.

Well the kernel has tweaks in it that can save battery... I'd go with syndicate rom frozen with the genocide 1.1 kernel... pretty good combo for me, I can have my screen on for about 4hrs and I'm sure if you use the phone less you can get a few days out of it

Yeah the only buggy rom's are some of the gingerbread roms and there LEAKS... if you want a stable rom syndicate 1.2 is the one to go with.

A good tip to remember...if you do go the custom ROM route, some have no journaling. If you choose one of those, make sure you power down phone completely and don't let battery die or you will get force closes out the arse. If this my be an issue for you, get a ROM with journal on or flash the journal on mod after flashing the ROM.

Syndicate Rom. It's absolutely awesome and very few bugs with almost all features working that I have noticed. Turns the Epic into the EPIC!!!!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Go with SyndicateROM Frozen. The 1.1 version needs updating ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091680 ) on the ClockworkMod. The 1.2 version ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131544 ) requires the latest ClockworkMod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115999 ). You need to flash modem to EC05 with Odin.
What I did was flashing modem to EC05, put the first CWM on the phone, then installed SynROM Frozen 1.1. After that, I updated the CWM, then updated to 1.2. I think the 1.2 is not full package (?) and upgrade from the 1.1 (?). Rodderik will update the 1.2 version with latest CWM. You can either wait for that update or continue with the steps that I did toward the 1.2 version.
Edit - SynROM Frozen 1.1 comes with ClockworkMod included. When you get it installed, just update the ClockworkMod (what I did was using the flash method with Odin) then upgrade to 1.2 version.

You had it partially right. Hardware is paramount simply because you can replace the software with better software but you can't replace what drives it. Root your phone with the new purple CWM and then give the Syndicate rom a try. What kernel you choose for it depends on your phone since they each take to certain kernels differently. I am personally using the second to last version of the Genocide kernel and voltage control with great results.
Think of the rom as a car's body that you can choose to option and the kernel as its engine.
I prefer Go Launcher over Launcher Pro and Handcent over all the others available.
If you want incredible battery life download an app called DataSwitch by TomatoX.
Make sure to enable journaling too.

I thought the same thing when I first started using tw... If your taking about the launcher I won't argue. But the rest of tw is pretty good. Built in task manager that clears ram, the dialer is dope. Contacts list is very functional, U can swype right on a name to call our left to txt. Also easy to navigate if u have alot of contacts. Hold your finger on the right in portrait mode to jump through letters, than if, lets say you know alot of T's when u get to T, slide your finger to the left and you can sort by the second letter (feel free to say thanks). If your in to facebook the buddies now and whatever other things are built in to the tw launcher (though if u change launchers you lose those widgets) activities in contacts links your fb friends, the... Does... And u can... With... And so on and so on and so on... theres alot to learn that u wrong in a few days... I've had mine since release day and I just found out... Yesterday... long story short, u only get one chance to trade ur phone in. Use the whole 30 days before u decide
P.s. u can change your screen brightness by long pressing the notification bar and sliding left to right. But u gotta have auto brightness turned off (thanks ↓)

I've been running EL30 all day and just realized how smooth the scroll is and of amazing the multitasking is. Went is it that stock roms do multitasking so much better than custom roms? Everyone should go stock for at least one day to see what I mean. Again.. Just throwing it out there.
I've been running stock EL30 since we got the google link. I'm liking it so far. Just need the keyboard lag fix. I think they did fix the GPS though, it goes fast in google maps and its accurate. And I like the none iOS touchwiz.

It really is much better, but it dropped one of the e's in "needed". I hadn't noticed the background thing because I use ADW EX with a theme. It seems fine stock, but I'd love to underclock again so I might just root for that.

Yes, I noticed battery life is great! Also, I think the smoothness is coming from the rom being odexed originally from sprint. We must all remember that the odex codes are optimized for our devices. That's why deodexed roms are never as smooth. Might be slight quicker but awful multitasking. But personaly, ive never seen a performance boost from going deodex.

De-odexing isn't supposed to give ya performance boost, it allows you to theme your phone.

Yup, but alot of members here state that the roms under deodex run snappier. In which I disagree.

I recommend flashing every rom/port and see what you like the most, everyone has different taste and just find one to your liking that's what I did. I been running "SkyTouch" over 3 weeks now, and like that McDonald's slogan goes, "I'm loving it"
"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.”
CyanogenMod 7 7/29 nightly seems pretty fast to me, but it's all a matter of opinion.

This is dead on. For raw speed, full functionality and few frills (as far as eye candy) go with CM7.2. Flash thederekjay's CM7 kernel, use smartass or darkside governor, and don't worry about a thing.
The only thing I like a little more about miui is that the message app has the pop up feature built in

Agreed. However, all the extra MIUI features do bog the ROM down ever-so-slightly. I'm sure someone will argue with me on that, but they'll be wasting their time.
Don't get me wrong. MIUI is AWESOME and tons of fun to customize. OP might want to consider flashing it as well. If you don't like the look, download a different launcher.
Speaking of launchers, I recently purchased FTL launcher. I'd recommend it to anyone. The pro version has some amazing features, like changing android animation speeds (sliders) and applying adw, go and launcher pro themes, and is screaming fast.

No rom has the "best" battery life. It varies from phone to phone and has more factors than just the rom itself. Optimal battery life is something you kind of have to toy around with yourself to achieve, but cm7 has given me and many users here some solid battery life. As for governers, look up no-frills CPU control in the play store and adjust your governor from there.

Yes it does. If someone is using a ROM other than CM No-Frills is a good choice.
Also, undervolting helps, if your chip can handle it. Use incredicontrol (play store) or oc/uv beater (xda) for that.

Yeah but I never used the Cyanogen settings for cpu. I forgot who it was (twas a while ago), but they recommended using another app to do so rather than the settings in CM7... Though I don't know if I even read it right; I wasn't developing at the time so I wasn't as knowledgeable and I haven't used CM7 since ICS became stable enough for me to use.

in cm7 settings or if you use an app like SetCPU you can adjust the governor one of the governors that estallings15 has suggested, just be sure to use Darkside kernel for CM7 if you want to use the Smartass or Darkside governors.
I use the same configuration (cm7 and darkside kernel) and i get great battery life and a nice, fast, stripped down ROM.
I hope it helps.
