[Q] Best Kernel Out

What is the best kernel out so far as in performance and battery life.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

That's not an easy question to answer as it all comes down to personal preference. I've tried a few so far and Lee's is suiting my needs so far.

I have the same questions and since it has been a while I figure more people have more input.
I keep hearing about TPC Stock ROM Optimized with Buzz OC.UV Kernel?
I am a total newb, but I really just want as few deviations from the stock as possible but unlocked, somewhat overclocked when I am working, extreme underclock on idle, and remove the bloatware.
What have you guys found?

Try Ingersoll.

On the AOSP side LordMod from the DHD section is awesome. That won't help you if you're using a Sense ROM, though.
CM7 Inspire 4G

Lordmod on cm7.

how do you know which one to use?
BFS vs. CFS

im a big fan of that guy di11igaf. Great work, good guy, and I hear he's pretty good lookin too.

hahaha. di11s work = EXCELLENT ROM, EXCELLENT KERNEL. Current uptime is 215 hours and counting. Clocked at 1036 on SetCPU.

DEAR LORD IS THIS TRUE?
Must flash...

If you notice, just about everyone gave you a different answer. There is no best rom. generally speaking, batt life is determined by clock speed and usage. plus each rom is a little unique. Just try out different roms and see what you think.

Yup... this is how I test ROMs. If they make it past 250 hours, then they are worthy. To this day, I have only had one ROM do this, and that was on my G1. It was the TMUS rom by amazinglarry311. Di11s ROM so far is going to be the second, by the looks of it.
I run Cache Cleaner NG once every other day, tho it's really not needed that often.
Still have over 211mb free when using Advanced Task Killer, and no lags.
Battery life is from about 8:30am til just after midnight. In this time frame, the lowest I've gone is 22%. Average of 225 texts a day, maybe 3 phone calls, music ALL day at work (not streaming), and check FB every 2 hours or so. Along with the occasional email here and there.

I can't imagine sending 225 text messages in one day.

Thank u for ur input instead of assuming and talking down at me. With that said
I am the same way and on the mt4g I still have my wife update her cm frequently but she's on the virtuous fusion now. Anyway I love cm and really was seeing if there was any input for me to stray from it and try something new yet it seems we are still to new for choice of roms

And I just like personal opinions to quickly catch feelings towards the roms. I work 2 jobs and don't have time to just play around on my phone all day.

Try cm. Its pretty stable right now. I get good battery life with it but the Margery meter is still a little wonky. I don't get any keyboard lag at all

faux's is not based off CM his is AOSP built from scratch it has 2.3 camera and macro shots and such are still available only issue I see with Faux's rom is battery tells the wrong battery level, be at 76% and after a reboot have 64% but thats alot of roms dont know about stock, and I can live with it. seriously best rom yet.

I believe faux's rom is more of a hybrid. He took some stuff from aosp source and some from cm source (like the kernel I believe)

[Q] How do you overclock the Sidekick 4g?

Hey How do you get more then 1ghz? My dad uses another android phone and he overclocked his to 1.8ghz and he said his method doesn't work the same. I saw somthing on kernels or somthing. Can someone point me to the right path and i need a very detailed thread... thanks. Also I am not talking about setcpu that is not overclocking that is only used for underclocking and custom speed use during specified uses. I need one that actually runs it faster

there is presently no way to overclock the SK4G.... sduvick has been working on adding overclocking to the Bali kernel tho. he might even still have one posted from a previous attempt, but I don't think it is stable.
just for kicks I tried the Tegrak Overclock app from the market, as it is made for Samsung Galaxy S devices so I thought it was worth a try.... but it said this device is not supported.

actually, i sent an email to the dev of that app. they sent me an email back early yesterday morning, i gave them some info on our phone and how similar they are to the galaxy s phones they're supporting. so a this morning i checked my email and they sent a test app and it worked perfectly. the app will allow you to overclock to 1.3GHz but only 1.2GHz is stable. They told me they will update the app in the market very soon so keep an eye out, i was gunna post a thread explaining in the general when ready. i've been running @ 1.2Ghz all day it doesnt kill battery too much either. so you guys should be able to overclock pretty soon i already saw our device name on the market for their next update, i was able to reach 2068 on quadrant with my TouchMIUIwiz ROM @ 1.152GHz, i posted pics in this post
Sduvick is also working on a Custom kernel with OC

Sorry about being a bit late to the party guys, had an xbox night with my roommates last night, I'm back to work on the kernel again today, should be able to get another working test going sometime today. Pretty sure that just adding the UV stuff will make it stable, but we'll see when it's ready.

The Tegrak update for the Sidekick is out, available in the market! Running at 1.152 Ghz now, and I see that the app allows you to raise or lower voltages as well..... VERY cool app!
Edit: setting voltages is available only with the paid version.
Sent from my SGH-T839

Running 1.2 now so nice 1400+ quadrant score with lightning rom v2 running multitask settings on v6. too bad you have to set it every time the phone boots unless you pay. 1.252 has some instability and 1.3 crashed the phone as soon as it was set :-( but still this is awesome
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

you can hit 1900's and 2000's with touchmiuiwiz! but yeah 1.3 doesnt play well.

I was having problems with touchmiuiwiz that I need to figure out at a later time but from what teddy has been saying he gets over 2000 ^ up there

Hi.
I think that if you want so good batterylife as possible, it all depends on what ROM and kernel you are using together.
In my opinion Matr1x and GlaDOS 2.9 are probably the best, and you should try one of them, or why not try one for a week, then try the other and then deside.

No, just kidding, but it is with a c. I think you're totally right! I prefer Matr1x, but GlaDOS belongs to one of the best kernels as well!

I'm very surprised at this, given Pete's propensity to tweak the baked in kernel dramatically to improve both performance and battery life. I'm getting great results of both using his kernel.
Saying that, Steve Garon's plays very nicely with Pete's ROM. Either leave ondemand and deadline scheduler.
Matr1x is also very good. Same there, or use lazy for decent battery life.
As for what settings. It totally depends what you have going. If you got 25 different news widgets sucking data like there's no tomorrow, then yes, you;re going to see crappy battery life. Tell us what you;ve got going on and we'll try and help.

Well I just turned sync off most Google stuff aside from Gmail and twitter sync is off and other stuff I am not all sure what is and isn't off or on
I can almost sit back and watch my battery tick down ward
Is there like maybe an extended battery aside from the one in box can buy to assist n more juice

In my opinion, battery life is only good when you're not using the phone. With that said, I apparently had my phone on for about twelve hours before it died and that's with minimal use.
As for apps not working.... the XDA app and Gallery aren't working for me on the EB.

Where are you getting this from? All I have is eaglesblood 5 from the website that was released on July 1, 2012. I have it running with the 5.6 kernel but all I'm seeing is people with the eaglesblood 5.5! Where do you get it from?

Ive been using the GB Eaglesblood and that with whatever kernel it comes with has worked wonders when it comes to battery life. Running fauxs kernel now which has slightly worse but still great battery life but much better performance.

Yea all devices are different what works good for you might not work well for others. Best way to find out is to try it. And also not everyone's battery is in good shape so battery life might be different
