What Kernel are you guys using on the lastest CM7?

How many .35 kernels are available? I'm only aware of Umaro's and the stock CM kernel. I'm trying to achieve better battery life, so what kernel are you guys using?
So far, using Umaro's, I'm getting regular battery life, nothing special. Haven't tried the stock CM kernel.
Are they any other undervolted kernels available?

There aren't any others so far. Umaro's kernel is really good for battery life, however it's not up to date with the latest kanged nightly from yesterday.

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the info.
What cpu settings are you running?

Right now I'm using a kanged nightly with the "stock" cpu settings of 245MHz min and 1024MHz max, but with the interactive governor. With Umaro's kernel I had at 245 min, 1017 max and the Smartass governor. The smartass is pretty good on battery.

u made all the right moves all i would do is dim screen and keep runnimg apps low.
pimped out g2

btw pyromod 2.0 345 ghz min 1405ghz max on smartass. i fully charge bout 1 a day
pimped out g2

Pershoot released his kernel the other day pretty nice and smooth

Alright I'm sleepy so this will be in rambling form but...
I've tried Umaro's and I'm not sure if it was the undervolting (which I haven't looked into tweaking) but my phone kept stuttering no matter which governor I used. I was using Htcclay's Super CM7 1.8 with cpu set to 245/1113
I also used the stock kernel that's been on CM7 with no problems and average to good battery life (10-15 hours of active use: texting, browsing, few calls, and playing the occasional game)
Most recently I've used Pershoots which I had heard worked great. I myself love it. Almost same battery life as stock kernel but everything felt just a little bit smoother performance wise.
Here's a link to Pershoot's thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847672

The stock cm kernel in my opinion is finally good enough that it doesn't need changed. I have always flashed pershoots and occassionally others, but it truly does not need supplemented IMHO.

I'm using savaged zen, and I get around two days of battery on a charge, with normal use.

Using Pershoots latest kernel, have nothing but good things to say about his kernels. Always my go to kernel.

You're running that on Vision? I can't seem to find it for our device.

Stock CM7 kernel here. I run 245/806 Interactive with automatic brightness. I've found that when wifi is on, keeping the cell radio @ 2G only works wonders. Wifi is set to sleep on screen off, but not when plugged in. 1 day 7 hours on this charge so far with 23% left. I would consider my use light to moderate.

I'm wondering where can I download the Umaro's kernel. I check out his github (https://github.com/umaro/htc-kernel-msm7x30) only to find out that the source is available.

[Request] AMOLED-Oriented Battery Kernel

I miss the ICS days of Matrix 20.0. I pulled 7 hours of on-screen use twice, and always at least 5 hours of on screen time in 10-28 hours overall. That was some amazing battery life.
I really wish someone would make a kernel or implement these features on a currently active kernel for us AMOLED i9020 Nexus users.
What features?
Under voting, 50 FPS, tweaked deadline scheduled for battery, on demmand with the current settings bedalus uses, 100 min setting, and adjustable (400/800) Live OC.
Some people may argue all of those features save little to no battery. I'd disagree on all except maybe Live OC. I know for a fact that my battery has been NOWHERE near the same as ICS since JB. I struggle to get 4 hours of screen use. I know get about 2.5-4.0. Coming from 5.5-7.3 hours of on screen use this is terrible! I know those 'small' features in combination with each other made a huge impact on battery.
If I had the resources to make my own kernels I would. But I don't have the resources (good computer or knowledge or time) to do so. Hopefully some amazing DEV will make a JB kernel dedicated to battery life on AMOLED screens for our Nexus. That would be great ...

You may not get it. Most of the features you are asking are a strict no-no from the current Kernel devs of Nexus S. The only kernel that include a voltage mod today is Air Kernel, but you may need to do undervolting yourself. You can try reducing all voltages by 25 and check stability, my phone can take up to 75 voltage reduction.
Again there are no 50 FPS kernel for JB. You can modify ondemand settings & voltage settings using NSTools. Live OC isn't there in any JB kernel and will not be included by any one as it is unstable. Bedalus ondemand settings are below:
Sampling rate - 20000
Up Threshold - 95%
Sampling down factor - 1 step
All the best..

I know the DEVs of today won't do it, but that doesn't mean nobody might give it a shot or make a new kernel...Matrix 20.0 was 50 FPS on ICS so it's possible. I've UV at 50 on Air and it was fine. I already know the Bedalus settings.... My kernel is Marmite lmao.
I'm not asking for MK, r_data, or Bedalus to do this. I'm asking someone else. If I could I'd try to make an AMOLED battery kernel. I miss good JB battery.

[Q] what is yours favorite kernel (i9505) and why.

Mine favorite kernel is chronickernel i really recommend this kernel because it can oc the gpu and the cpu. But besides that the performance and battery life are just awesome

I second this. Chronic Kernel is by far my favorite kernel. The only kernel I've used that has gotten 10 hours 45 minutes screen-on time with the Stock battery no joke. And performance is amazing. 29k on Antutu is pretty awesome if you ask me

Need help with Faux Kernel Ultimate

I'm in a huge dilemma right now, I want to install the "Ultimate" version of Faux's kernel but when I'm using it, my N4 always reboots on start up. From this, it's obvious that that my N4 cannot handle the OC at 1.8ghz and every time I attempt to lower the CPU frequency in trickster mod, my N4 reboots before I get a chance. Anyone out there have a version of Faux's Ultimate kernel that doesn't come at 1.8ghz by default when you install it?

You could try waiting for your device to cool down then booting it up and changing the frequency. I'm undervolted -100 and I'm using intellidemand and I have no problems with 1.8. The battery life is still unbelievably good - 88% with 1h SOT right now (ran quadrant 5 times).

[I9000 overclocking] Overclocking latest Mackay kernel

Dear all members & visitors.
I've been using your roms & kernels since the day our i9000 was released. Big thanks to you all - devs, forum moderators & guests for your fantastic work. This is my first post - hopefully under the right section. Hope it can help somebody to achieve the smoothness & stability out of our old but certainly not dead devices.
So, here are my details:
- running the latest Mackay Rom (4.9.14) with test kernel from Mackay (0.693).
- ART runtime
- kernel tweaker app from market to set the stuff:
-- min. freq. 100mhz @ 975mV
-- max. freq. 1300mhz @ 1350mV
-- row
-- read ahead size 4096
-- low memory killer set to very agressive.
With this configuration I was able to push antutu benchmark till (see attached) 8199. This was my higher score.
Now I am playing with OC 1400mhz, from 1351mV to 1365mV. Stable stuff around 1361mV - but antutu benchmark and quadrant fail to complete.. So no results. Otherwise all other apps work just great. No reboots at all. And the battery..well, I have a 1750mAh battery and with normal usage (phone, sms, gmail) a fully charged phone overnight loses around 15-20% from 07:00 till 14:00. I assume that the battery performs better with ART runtime rather than Dalvik.
With agressive memory killer option i have always around 90-140mb of free ram. I told you - average daily user, not a lot of multitasking/games/other stuff..
So once again, big thanks to ALL devs, from 2.2.1 to 4.4.4, to miui, slim, omni.. I really tried 96% of all the roms here, but settled with Mackay from Kasper & crew. Keep up the good work.
Cheers from Slovenia.
P.S.
If someone has good&better tweaks please share.
