Recommend a kernel and why - G2 and Desire Z General

Hey
Ive never switched kernels before and Im in the mood to try some out Which do you recommend? I like battery life but I also like decent performance obviously
Which are your recommended? (Only universal compatible ones eg. they work with all (or 99%) of ROMS)

GB/ICS? AOSP or sense?

I ment by universal just that: they work on both AOSP AND Sense.
And I apoligize for not mentioning what version: Gingerbread

The reason he's asking is because there is obviously no universal kernel that'd work for both AOSP and Sense.

Yep what he said. For example, unity v10 only works on GB sense, whereas pershoot only works on GB CM7

But anyways if you insist.....
I'm on CM7.2 nightlies.

Not to be rude, but they're very skilled developers, not noobs. If you read that thread you)ll see that the GB kernel works with Sense roms...

Well, I suppose that you can try the Tiamat kernel. Credits go to canyiarb.
You can also try the ILWT kernel. This is what I'm using right now, I've had zero issues with it and it's blazing fast. Credits go to Tsubus.
Alternatively, there's also EliteKernel. It includes custom governors, something ILWT doesn't have. Also a great choice.) Credits go to Nik3r.
All three of the above are excellent kernels (in my opinion). You shouldn't see much of a difference between the three.

That thread I linked to has a kernel which works on AOSP and Sense ROMs meaning they are compatible right?

How can I backup my current kernel if I want to switch back?

Not sure, I suppose you could make a backup of your /boot partition (if you're using 4EXT Touch there's an option for this in Advanced Backup I think).
The best thing to do would be to make a nandroid of your existing installation in entirety.

Currently I'm using CM7....does it use its own kernel or one of these?

Cyanogen roms have there own kernel, check in settings/about phone/ and look under 'kernel version' you'll see the name there.

If it's stock, yes it is using it's own kernel.

What is the best custom rom?

I like the default theme and am not opposed to it, and most custom rom themes I do not enjoy. Nonetheless I want a faster system and the ability for live wallpapers.
Are there any reccomendations on the best custom rom for this situation?
Also looking for the same thing, an overclocked SENSE UI ROM? Currently running DD2.7
Any Help For US?
Thanx,
Tee Jay
The best help you're going to get is
"This is what I'm running, but you need to try everything"
The reason why there are so many ROMs is because there is no "best ROM"
For sense run fresh rom or dc
And flash the oc kernel on top

There were two versions of the kernel there. I found out that the Fresh and Damage version is NOT the correct version.
Well if you like stability, and your gps and accelorometer to work properly. Ie you want to be able to use geocaching programs, and exercising programs like cardiotrainer then I would choose a rom based of of the official stock rom like fresh

Would the kernel source for the mt4g be required to get C6 running? Or, would it be required in order to run C6 optimally?

You use kernel source in order to compile a new kernel, although you can still create modded ROMS that use the stock kernel, and you can also create kernel modules to add functionality, until you have access to kernel source.

I would love to see some customized build for this thing that would keep some of the Espresso things or, better yet, keep HTC framework optimized with CM goodies. This way we can just push things we like to it.

incredikernel | no0b question

How should I go abount intalling intellikernel on cm7rc3 . I am a noob and do not really understand the importance of having a seperate kernel (incredikernel is supposed to be superior than the default CM7) .. would I have to do some tweaks after I flash this?
Do I need to wipe anything before I flahs this or any new kernel? is it stable?

That is for the Droid Incredible.
That is why it will not work on our phone.
You can only flash 3rd party kernels related to your phone, and your skin design. meaning you cannot flash an AOSP kernel for Sense ROM, nor a DInc kernel to a OG Droid.
But I am running CM7 RC3 ... which is AOSP.... I am a little confused.

But the Kernel you are looking at is for the Droid Incredible, not for the HTC Glacier. They are two different phones, with two different hardware packages. You must use AOSP kernels for the HTC Glacier.
Could you suggest one that you really like? and do I have to wipe anything before I flash any kernel?

Personally i suggest running the stock kernel that came with your ROM. And i will only use the kernel that comes with the ROM. The developers have built the ROM to run around that kernel. So it should work the best. I know Faux123 has built some top notch kernels....but i cannot speak first hand.

I use fauxs oc/uv just cause he's awesome and you can oc it to 1.8 ghz but you have to be careful when overclocking I'd suggest setting up the governers and profiles in setcpu after flashing the kernel. But no you don't need to wipe anything just boot into recovery and install

Hey y'all, I have CM7 on my Evo and tried to flash incredikernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848453 using clockwordmod rom manager. Everything seemed to go fine but now it will not get past the white htc evo 4g boot screen. How shall I proceed? I was going to just reflash CM7 but wanted to see what the 'correct' thing to do is, help please!
SOLVED, I definitely learned something new today. Kernels are phone specific haha!

[Q] SetCPU - Cannot Overclock?

I'm running the rooted Gingerbread v2.3.4 with S-OFF. I purchased and installed SetCPU from the market thinking I could overclock. Everything appears to be capped at 1 GHz. Maybe I have misunderstood the capabilities of SetCPU? Do I need to install a different kernel to overclock?
you would have to flash a different kernel to be able to overclock past 1ghz. since youre using Sense, Id recommend Darkside SENSE v7
OK. How would I go about backing up my current kernel or if I wanted to revert back, would I just reflash the original ROM?
Yes, back up the whole ROM, and revert to it if different kernel won't work.
Do the backup in recovery.

Thanks for the help.
I've been researching the one mentioned kernel as well as some of the other options. I'd really like to know what your opinions are on thederekjay's v2.6.35.14 demonspeed v7 kernel vs. faux123's v0.0.9? I'm wanting to keep as close to stock as possible - I'm just looking for the ability to overclock. Are there any others I should be looking at?
I'd go with the Darkside kernel. Its newer and you can use apps like incredicontrol or OC/UV beater to undervolt it. No offense to faux. He makes a great kernel. I just had better success with Derek's kernel.

go with demonspeed v7, its more updated and probably has a lot less bugs/more optimizations than Faux's because I dont think he devs for the mt4g anymore, so there hasnt been any updates. You can also try out the UNITY kernel by the Virtuous Team, great kernel as well

I'm having trouble locating this kernel by itself. If anyone has a link, that would be much appreciated. I can only find the entire ROM. Also, in the technical notes, I read this...
Virtuous overclocking daemon will automatically be disabled if an overclocking tools (such as SetCPU or CPU Tuner) is installed. Installing these tools is not advised, as the virtuous_oc daemon responds far more rapidly to screen state changes than any Android (Java) application.

I'm not familiar with the virtuous_oc daemon but it sure sounds like what I need to use. Any experiences with this vs. SetCPU?

Thanks for the links. I gather from the kernel filename, virtuous_kernel_comb_v10_from_beta2.zip, that v10 is still in beta? I think I read that v10 development has been abandoned. Is that your understanding? I certainly could be wrong. I've read so many threads in the last few days my eyes are crossing!
Not sure. I never really used unity, as I wasn't in the mood for sense for about a year. Don't be afraid of a beta kernel. If you don't like it, just flash v9.
I hate to be a turd, but if you could hit the thanks button I'd be... Thankful. Lol

1. Which Rom do you guys recommend that works without any problems (beside cyanogenmod)?
2. If Cyanogenmod which one do you recommend stable or nightly?
3. Which Kernel should i use after rooting my phone that works correctly and has no problems?
Please share with me some of your thoughts and opinions.

I second this. Wife wanted an iPhone, I wasn't having that. She got an Evo and complained since day one....until this build of MIUI. She is overjoyed now. I've flashed a lot of stuff on mine and am very happy with the look and feel. Much better than any Sense based ROM I have tried by far and doesn't look like any other Android build without heavy customization. Just runs nicely out out of the box.
Doesn't have 4g but I never turned it on anyway.
