I was hoping to conduct a brief survey of which Kernel people are using.
Please list which Kernel you are using on your Charge and why you like it? Also, what other Kernels have you tried?
I am pretty new to this whole deal of flashing Kernels and ROMs as I have only had my Charge for 2 weeks now(my first smart phone). I am currently running EE4 stock right now but I have tried a few different ROMs(Gummy and AB) and JT's Kernel(root/voodoo/CWM). I keep coming here every day for the last 2 weeks reading and reading on what to do and what works well and what doesnt. I was curious as to the Kernel specifically and wanted to find out what most of the more experienced users are using and liking.
We have 4 kernels, Stock, Kangfuscius, JT's, and Mine. Stock is what it is, the stock kernel. JT's I believe is stock with modified initramfs for Voodoo and some other functions. Kangfuscius is built from source, but has few modifications outside of OCing and some initramfs tweaks I believe. Mine is built from source, has a variety of mods to it, as well as tweaked initramfs with fixes, features, and voodoo. The kernel really comes down to what you are looking for. Personally, I run my own
Right now I'm using imnut's kernel. I used JT's right after he released it, and switched to imnut's because it is more heavily optimized. So far I like it just fine.

OK what is a initramfs? Or should I just not ask? lol
PB & J all the way! I've had zero problems with this kernel, just hoping for some overclock someday.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
imnuts's PB&J mostly because I like the lagfix, it's the newest, and he is the most active in the community, so I feel like we get the best support.
Also, what CWM do you prefer? Imnuts one or JT's? Or the one packaged into Droidxcon's AB rom?

AB has JT's bundled in. I prefer imnuts's because the buttons work, he removed the potentially damaging backup/restore options, and he can test on the Charge. JT threw his out as a favor, but I don't think he actually has a Charge he can test on, and doesn't plan on doing dev for it (my apologies if I'm wrong on that).

initramfs=ramdisk It sets up the system as the phone boots to get it ready to run.
OK I installed Inmnuts new CWM and PB&J kernel earlier today. So far so good. I do notice it is decently faster with the lagfix enabled. Although the EE4 update did improve the speed alot IMO over ED1 and ED2. I have learned so much from all of you guys reading all this stuff over the past few weeks. I wanted to say thank you for all the advice and hard work!
Hi guys.. Noob here.. just have a question on the DlevRom V5.0 , ive installed it and all i can say is WOW.. best ROM ive tried! now here the queston, what Kernel does it use? is it this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212485 if not, wich one is better??

With no disrespect to bedwa I feel the hellraiser kernel is better. Even with overclock infusion doesnt seem as fast. The hellraiser and entropys kernels also now have initramfs mods from the att gb leak that give faster data speeds and functional wifi on att based roms that are to come.
Others may have a different oppinion. Also I'm not sure what is packaged in that rom.

*DISCLAIMER - I'm very new with all of this*
I agree with you, Dani. I played around with several different kernels and ROMs before settling where I'm at. I'm in love with Entropy's daily driver. Between solid battery life, very decent data speeds, and overall snappiness, it's the best thing I've used so far....

You shouldnt have to disable Voodoo Lagfix, if that is what you are refering too. Just flash.

No problem.Glad I could help.
I'm not a developer but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express lastnight.
This is a mostly stock AT&T kernel I've packaged up. Its features include the BLN patch, USB-OTG support and in-kernel NFS and FUSE modules. The ramdisk has been tweaked to support init.d scripts, adb as root and boot animations (on those ROMs that support it - such as my Alien ROM).
I've tried to keep any other changes to a minimum. There is no UV/OC patching, etc as this kernel along with Alien ROM already perform outstanding.
You can grab it here.
Version 0.2 with NLS UTF-8 support is here.
Version 0.3 based on the UCLA3 kernel is here. I recommend you use the UCLA3 modem from here.
If you want to revert to stock AT&T 2.3.6 UCKK1, you can get it here. Thanks to pookieguy for the stock files!
Source is here.

Oh...romracer.....what a beautiful job this is.
Even though I am accustom to zImage kernels and these are forign to me....I am no stranger to source. I have to say good job.
I am currently in the process of repacking a stock kernel, and am having a tremndous amount of trouble. I believe its my repacking scripts and methods....never the less, I am working on a rom release (without a device no less)
And with your permission I would be very pleased to include this kernel with the distrubtion.
May I?
Thanks

How its battery life...will it work on skyrocketeer?
Sent via rooted SkyRocket
Battery life is the best I've seen. I'm running this on Skyrocketeer with the conservative governor set and the screen off frequency set at 192. Unlike Da_G's higher performance kernel, this one keeps the 2nd core offline until there is a heavy load, greatly increasing my battery life. I still get a 6400 score on CF-bench, while overclocked to 1.78 on Da_G's I get around 7800.
NM i got it.

Will the boot animation support in this kernel allow me to flash a new animation to the rooted stock 2.3.6?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Just put a boot animation named sanim.zip in the system/media folder and it will work with this kernel.
I've recently flashed to an ICS rom, and I am now trying to figure out what the best kernel is to run with it (I'd really like to see one that maximizes battery life.) If you are running ICS, would you mind please posting what ROM you are using and what Kernel you have along with it. Also, take a second to explain the pros and cons of that Kernel so we may all make more informed decisions as we prepare to potentially flash one...
Thank you kindly!

Mr. Apocalypse uses Harsh's kernel for Genesis. Owain uses Harsh's kernel for his ICS build. x0xhellx0x uses Faux's kernel for Hellfire Sandwich. I think you can use those as starting point. I like Morfic's Trinity kernel because you can OC to 1560.

Everyone is. NVIDIA has yet to release ICS drivers... so there is sub optimal video on all ICS builds.
We await the official release.
i would recomment the harsh kernel 1505 oc i love it smooth nice battery. i'm against faux it's good in battery and fast, but when you try doing too many stuff it starts hanging

Been flashing Custom Roms & Kernels insanely these few days trying to get the most perfect Custom Rom and Kernel. I have decided to use ViperS 1.1.0 as my main Custom Rom, I'm now deciding which Kernel best go with it and that's it, I can finally starting doing my stuff on my phone instead of searching for Roms and Kernels everyday to flash. Lol, after rooting my phone, I haven't like used it yet at all, all I did was looking for Custom Roms and Kernels to flash to find which best for me.....
Well anyway, can a ViperS 1.1.0 user please tell me which Kernel is good? I'm looking for a Kernel that has good battery life and a bit good performance. I have tried many Kernels but can't notice the difference between them.
Also how would I change the Kernel's settings? Like if I want to change the Governor, how would I change it?
Thanks in advanced! I'm kinda new to Kernels.

Yeah, I've seen many people say that Sebastian's kernel is best for ViperS 1.1.0. But when I download Sebastian's kernel and install it, it doesn't have an installer for me to choose options from? It just installs it and that's it, how would I like change the settings for it?
You can use a mod that goes with the Sebastian kernel, this is what I did. Its supposed to help battery life. Check out the mods and you will find it. Best wishes.

As some people already said, Sebastian`s kernel is very good. His kernel + as much Undervoltage as is stable for your phone should make a good performance with good battery life I`m plaaying Dead Trigger with Tegra effects enabled, and no lags with -75mV, but you need to find out what UV level is good and stable for you
and BTW guys, what mods are you talking about? I looked at his thread and didn`t find any mods. Do you mean that OC and ZRAM or there are any other mods?

For kernel settings such as govs and uv, you can use an app such as system tuner. It allows you to change a multitude of kernel settings, including clock speed.
sebastian fm is good kernel... +1
I am talking about all from my signature
Sebastians kernel doesnt offer any options to choose as I know.
The same with MOD Take Control - but you may change some things by System Tuner app.
There is a link to a MOD for seb's kernel in the viper thread, posted not so long ago. It allows you to change a whole bunch of stuff for his kernel such as uv and even second phase frequencies. It's a seperate zip you flash after flashing the kernel itself.
