Fastest stock froyo kernel

Suggestion box didn't come up with anything relevant. Basically just rooted my Evo, running stock 2.2 and want the fastest kernel without flashing a custom ROM - I actually like Sense on a phone that's fast enough to handle it. On my Hero it was awful and CM6 helped tons - on the Evo I'd like to keep it.
Can anyone offer any help? Currently running the usual 1147 quadrant score. Over 1500 would be awesome.

Bump before bed.

Just do some research tons I mean tons of info in the Dev section go have a read
from the fade

Well.. I've tried that. I can't find anything in plain English that says "This is for stock Evo" or "This is sense based and will keep all of your nice widgets". That's why I asked the question.

Dont know if its the fastest, but i Run this on my rooted stock EVO..

It's cool. Basically you want a kernel that works on Sense ROMs. There are a lot of them out there. Installing a new kernel won't affect your launcher or widgets as long as it is compatible with Sense.
Honestly the easiest thing to do is to install a different ROM that comes with an improved kernel. There are lots of Sense ROMs out there such as Baked Snack. They come with their own kernel and are tested and optimized to work together.
edit: and yes, netarchy's kernel posted above is a fine example. Flashing that kernel from recovery will improve your performance but once again, if you are running a rooted ROM you may already have a good custom kernel installed.

[POLL] What ROM do you use?

What ROM do you use, and why do you use it? What other MODs have you applied to it? For the poll I just chose the ROMs that seem most popular. I'm sorry if the one you used isn't listed, just post it here anyway.
For those that flash a number of ROMs, like me, just choose the one you use most, or the one you "fall back on" when you're done testing other ROMs
And yes, I'm aware of this one, but it's a bit outdated with the ROMs.

Other ROMs commonly used that I didn't list
I'll update this if there are a number of users that use ROMs that I haven't listed (There will be, lol)
List thus far:
SuperFroyo/SuperBler (I still just count these as CM, but hey) - No users in this thread yet, but it's apparently popular
MoDaCo custom release - 1 ex-user so far
Plain ol' rooted stock - 1 user

What about the all famous superFroyo (now called Superbler If I'm not mistaken)
Not that I've every used it but there's much attention for it.
I dno what to vote for yet
I've always used CM but I now I use blayo's to test the data2ext (which isn't really great, yet)
I might go back to CM when CM7 has the fixes for GPS and 3D. But I would love to have flash on CM hopefully someday,...

We'll cross the SuperFroYo bridge when we get to it Anyway, it's basically CM.

I started with Modaco MCR r4, but now changed to B 0.2
It's Sense-based and already has most of the changes I made to the MCR rom (update Gapps, facebook, move busybox in /system, circular battery...). Only thing added is DrRomca's "amibios" bootanimation from Modaco forums

I use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870662
It is a rooted stock rom. I can't complain about it.

BlaY0's B.02
I tried every single ROM in this section, except variations of rooted stock ROMs and this is the first that really feels a good bit faster then others (data2ext enabled).
Other then that CM is very nice of course. Used pretty much every version from Indigo Beam to the latest nightlies until 2.2 got released.

I use CyanogenMod since Azure. Now I have 6.1 and I'm waiting for a fully functional CM 7 experimental build.
I haven't tried other roms, but I follow the updates on the forum. The main reason is that I don't think that roms based on the stock one will be upgraded to Gingerbread, therefore I don't want to change rom knowing that I will be forced to return back to CM.

Big fan of CM but I use BlaY0's now. Waiting for CM7.

CM all the way. Haven't tried BlaY0's rom but seems to be getting positive feedback from users. Won't flash it though, waiting for CM7. Sorry Blay0.
CircleMOD battery with themed notification icons, BiosAnimation bootscreen, remove some system apps. Well thats about it.

Right now I'm using CM 7, because.. well it's Gingerbread Went from BlaYo's B 0.1, and it's pretty good. Actually made me like Sense again.

using CM6.1 atm (couple of days)
but as i am reading more and more, everyone saying that Blay0's b0.7 is showing better performance than cm, but cant say till i try
i am kind a new in android word, i will use cm for a while till i get the guts to install new rom without messing something up
cheers
EDIT: from 26.02.2011 blay0's rom and it rocks

CM from the very beginning (love the tons of features/settings added)...use now CM7 (usually flashing nighties as they came out), snakehult 130DPI LCD screen density, data2ext2 (thanks TGM), CWM3 (not S-Off unfortunately) , Honeybread theme

Have tried many, now on CM7 and B0X time to time.
I need better sd ...

Standard stock rooted rom, but I'm about to test CM7-RC2.

Tried CM6.1 and it has horrid for me, so I switched to blay0's 0.7 ROM and never looked back.
I'll look into CM7 when it's pushed as a stable release. I'm not one for nightly testing.

cyanogenmod7 #8 here

First real custom ROM was CM6.1.
Then got a little bored and tried Blay0 B0.X for awhile.
Now on the first release of CM7.0 and seems stable enough for me!
Only issues I've spotted so far on CM7.0 are the Menu button/Optical pad wake, all else seems sweet

Cm7, I'm loving it

Why do you call me TGM? TheGrammarMan? Or a consistent typo?

Low voltage kernels

Just rooted. Im new to the droid world, so im curious, can i get a low voltage kernel? A friend has Savage Zen and brags about battery life, but would it be compatible with my default-rooted rom? Also can i backup the kernel? Thanks.
Btw i tried googling but every time i got a good lead the links were dead

If you are referring to a rooted, stock HTC Sense ROM, no, do not use SavagedZen. It is only for AOSP ROMs.
AOSP - Android Open Source Project (vanilla, like on the Nexus)
Sense - HTC's UI
You cannot use a Sense kernel on an AOSP ROM, or an AOSP kernel on a Sense ROM.
(All Gingerbread)
AOSP Kernels:
Tiamat
SavagedZen
Cyanogenmod (kernel)
Godmode
PoonKang
I know that Tiamat and SavagedZen have HAVS and can be undervolted using Vipermod. Cyanogenmod, Godmode and Poonkang may come undervolted, but they do not have HAVS so you cannot adjust it.
Sense Kernels:
Freedom by Lithid
Golden Monkey by Netarchy
ChopSuey by barnacles10
Stock HTC
None of these kernels have HAVS (Freedom used to, but it was causing issues so he took it out). Golden Monkey, ChopSuey, and Freedom can come undervolted by certain degrees, it depends on which version of the kernel you download.
I can't think of any way to back up a kernel except for nandroiding system, but I am probably wrong. Just go into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and flash a new kernel if you have any issues.
There is a good study guide in I think Q&A stickied, telling all that you need to know about kernels. I advise you to read it. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894880

You can usually recover a bad kernel by flashing to back to the stock kernel and wiping cache and dalvik. Its usually worked for me, but depends on how much the custom kernel changed things.
To OP, go check out Kernel Manager in the market. It takes a good amount of the guesswork out of kernel flashing.

I say go with chopsuey 9.1 ill say its really good left my phone off charger for 8 hours while i slept was at 41% before and when i woke up it was still at 41% i mean does it get anybetter than that

Thanks for the help. Really in depth and helpful advice . Using freedom aggressive kernel now. Still testing to see if it helped. Great forums.

hey quick question on roms and which ones have been proven and are current..sorry

hey guys, and sorry for a question i know must have been asked before, but i am unable to find.
What roms are the best and most up to date as of now?
i was going to go with cm7 but saw we had cm9 and a few others out there, my real question is, anything better then cm7 out there?
this will be used for my wife, who just wants it to work, as little freezes and hang ups as possible, feature set means nothing next to speed and reliability.
this is my last attempt to make this phone usable for her before i take my 12 gauge to it. please please help! i have to her hear whine everyday with the 2.6.1(think that's it) kernel on there (hasn't been updated in over a year, so anything should be an improvement, it's just hard to get the phone off her long enough to toy with it)

In that case I would use either Superclean 3 or Geewiz
Both are stock EH03 based Touchwiz ROMS. Neither has bleeding edge features but they both just work and are the most up to date ROMs that come from the Samsung/Verizon base. Personally, I have found these ROMS to be the best on battery longevity.

cool, i already d/l'd the geewhiz but it's not taking like the other rom's i'm used to, flashed stock rom E3 and booted in to recovery and tried to update with gwiz through recovery, signature error of some sort, will try again with the other one you mentioned ..... or do i need to load the kernel using odin then flash rom through recovery?

I would also recomend giving Team Hacksung ICS build 6.5 w/ Icy Glitch v14 b4 kernel a try! No doubt superclean and geewiz are great roms, but I think you will like ICS 4.0.3 the best...just sayin.

i thought i saw that as a beta build, been around long enough to be proven?
[KERNEL][CM9][1/29/12] Icy Glitch V14 - BETA - LiveOC - Voodoo - DIDLE - USBhost

gotta bail from work will be back on with the tablet in about an hour.

ICS still has some issues and while it's good enough for 99% of people if this is for pure stability for a nontechnical user I'd say to go for the ROMs I mentioned earlier. Some issues on ICS are MMS doesn't work with wifi on, the datadata issue, the ui is a bit different from Touchwiz ROMs, phantom ring still occurs, CWM and nandroids still have some issues, and it's on a pretty rapid release cycle which would mean that you would need to update her phone fairly often.
ICS is great and it's what I'm running but I think the more mature EH03 ROMS are appropriate in this case.
EDIT:
The link you have goes to Glitch which is a kernel. That is part of the operating system but isn't the entire ICS OS. ICS ROM development is centered over at the rootzwiki developer forum. AOKP, Gummy, and teamhacksung's build are the premier builds.

Yeah, i figured if the kernel was in beta the rom would be as well, got her on super clean and she likes it , still can't tell the difference between that and a 2.6.1 build that was beta around a year ago,lol, thanks for the help and ics is sick , but bob nailed it in regards to my intentions.
That said , thanks to the both of you for bothering with this b.s. question in the first place , i was at work trying to sort her phone out , she needs her phone , life is chaos and time is short, thanks for making it all a little more easy. Also great to see such great support still going on for this, envious with my charge in regards to roms.
Hope i don't need to post here again for a while if you get what I'm saying, haha !! Thanks a ton !

Best ICS rom for Atrix 4g

Hey guys Im new to the atrix 4g and was wondering what the best ICS rom is for the atrix 4g is in terms of stability and speed. Also, any kernel recommendations? Do I just install via CWM?

As anyone will tell you, it's mostly opinion for what's best. Apart from turl and jokersax's ROMs, they're all highly customizable, and in my experience they are all stable enough for a daily ROM.
They can all be installed from CWM, but you need to clear the /data, /system and /cache partitions when you upgrade from Gingerbread. You'd be best getting jokersax's Kitchen Sink installer, since it has several ROMs in one file. From that, you can switch between them easily and see what you prefer.

AOKPCB + faux's kernel...

jokers ics is really nice, but I like the ics MIUI rom, very nice UI and feels a lot more customisable in general. its also based on jokers ics but I think its outdated! video camera also doesn't work but you can download an app for it

This is purely subjective. I suggest you read the individual rom threads in the dev section, and/or try different roms out or yourself to see what fits your particular needs the best. Also, there are multiple threads on this subject already.
That being said... thread closed.
