[Q] Best kernals for speed/battery - HTC Sensation

Ok whats the best kernals out there and comparison between them, which one has the best battery life and which one has the best speed and probably the best one of them all ??.

I've been using the Unity v5 kernel and ohh mann is it amazing.
I'm hitting about 12-14 hours of moderate use. Before it would be 8-9 hours.

Just flashed it, feels pretty smoooth and speed is benchmarks is awesome.

Great, there is a beta of Unity v6, haven't tried it yet though.
Make sure you don't use SetCPU and use the Daemon OC Controller app. It's faster, if you're not overclocking then disregard this last bit lol.

What kind of effect does the battery have when overclocking ??, id overclock if i felt i needed to and that the battery wasn't affected.

Where can I find this kernel?

Do we need a rom to do this? Or, can we somehow use this with stock rom?

You can use the stock rom but root and s-off are mandatory.
Be careful though. The current kernels available are all very buggy. Anyone who reports no issues is sitting on a time bomb. Sooner or later their phone will do something strange and they will be faced with having to do a battery pull or similar.

Has anyone tried using this with a stock ROM yet? SetCPU was buggy as heck once I perm rooted with CWM (.5). I had to remove it, as my phone would freeze as well as having setCPU ask thousands of times a day for SU permission.

Undervolting pros vs cons

What are the benefits/downfalls to undervolting? Does it save battery life or make the CPU work even harder? I'm using AlienMinds latest 1.2 with the -50 UV mod. Just flashed the volt mod this morning and haven't really had time to monitor the results.
I'm a noob to most of this stuff so if anyone has an answer or insight that would be awesome.

From my experience with it, it helps. Before I did the tweak I was running CM7 stable and my battery would brain very quickly. After I flashed LorDModUE v3.1 with killersloth's UV my battery lasts way more than it used it. I think with a combo of undervolting and SetCPU profiles makes for a good experience.
What is Killersloth's UV?
I use vipermod to adjust voltage. Using Lordmod UE 3.1 with -50.
Im running Gingerbeast OC'd to about 1250 off charger and Using Pinky's undervolt script and I get nice battery if I am not "using" the phone as a Laptop/PSP. lol else it dies no matter what you do.
If I just used it for text here and there and a few calls It would last 2 days easy.

I use SetCPU because of the profiles. I set it at a low MHz when the screen is off to conserve battery.

So you tried undervolting and now you are stuck in boot loop? Did you take a nandroid?
Yea i fixed it but I still have the same problem with signal. Before undervolting I have great signal. Just wish that I could have the best of both worlds
I would try consulting some other users that use the latest MIUI. See what they are using that works. That what I did with to get my CM7 up to speed.
Using SetCPU and the profiles works wonders for battery life.

I think undervolting will give you less heat? (well on computer stuffs it does)...
and saves battery, but undervoltting too much can cause unstableness..
DOes anyone know what happens if you undervolt too low?will the phone crash and will it revert back to the previous working settings??( its like this on pc).

heavy games from gameloft where used as test base
All ROMS and Kernel work differently on every phone ... some people have problems running Trinity and some people have problems running Ma1trix(I hope i spelt it correctly) anyways i don't mean to offend any of the devs but it depends on phone to phone
My Nexus runs smoothly with Nscollab .41 with TrinityEUV kernel (0.88 GHz) =]
Also Bugless Pete's GPA17 with the stock kernel which is btw Pete's own =]
and finally MIUI with TrinityUV android flavored kernel (1.0 Ghz) =]
to find out which one works best on your device you have to install and check them yourself
Hope i helped
There are no "problems" with Matr1x.
You just need to tweak the voltages and find something that works for you....
As a fresh NS user, I wanted something similar to stock + added notification bar toggle + kernel with BLN & Voodoo sound. Found this combo with TSM Pool party 1.3 ROM, which is based on Pete's work and his kernel. Works excellent:]
CM7 RC1 + T144 or TEUV if I feel like saving battery

Very true, I initially thought my phone doesnt work with matrix, Then i figured how to undervolt my phone and change profiles in set CPU, Now phone works great with matrix.
Really like TEUV though, but found it lagging a bit in high graphics games,.
Yeah Haha, have you tried version 7.5?

I am running ARHD v3.6.1 as well and my phone is warm as well...I flashed the Bricked Kernel v1.2 and that has made a difference, but not significantly. I tried clocking back to 1.2Ghz but that has made no difference.
I have been running BK with v3.6.x and not had one reboot, just the warm phone problem.
I'm using energy oct3 version right now but phone is getting warm, but could just b the kernel using bricked v1.2, but when I was on oct2 version everything was amazing, phone never got hot, and battery life was amazing, and this is wwith brightness at 85% all the time, 4g on, and texting consatlly, couple calls and 6 hrs of music. Think I'm going to go back to stock kernel on Oct 3 version n if don't help I will b going back to oct2 version.

Nice will try energy then arhd wasn't a getting that good of battery life. The phone ran great just got warm.
try pyramid3D. its great. im running it right now. good battery life and rarely gets hot
InsertCoin! I'm telling you, this rom is quick, great battery life when you underclock it to 1.2ghz from the default 1.5ghz and it's amazing with the updates it gets, and get's better all the time. Great dev support as well.
if you can be bothered to read through the arhd thread (i know its huge) but theres some stuff about changing thermal config in there mite be useful to you
Faux kernels run really cool on my phone. I apply the thermal patch too but I don't know if it is necessary. You can his kernels on pretty much any rom.

There is no best kernel. All the threads asking receive the same answer, that is that it all comes down to personal preference. Try them all and see what you like best.

I tried Trinity, drains my battery faster than usual.
I've been using Matr1x, but some people have had issues. That's why I really can't recommend anything other than that you try a few and see what works best for you.

Sleep of Death, phone goes into sleep mode and freezes. Raising the Voltages helps.
I have tried every kernel out there & have had trouble in some form with all of them, except for the Glados Kernel. Rock solid stable, & a nice balance of performance / battery life. Using NStools allows you to get the most out of the kernel. I use it with live OC set at 105, & the lazy governer. This is what works well for me, it may differ for your phone.

Thats a adventure you have to take alone
in all seriousness you gotta try out Trinity =]
Check out the kernels in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283031
The nice thing about it is the availability of the 1320MHz frequency (if needed), yet you can run an undervolted setting most of the time and enjoy great battery life.
Most other kernels seem to be either fast or good on battery, here you get both in one package. Give it a test drive!

I'm using Trinity now with 1.54 OC. It's snappy but drains battery fast.
A millionth time I've seen such a thread, and a millionth time I say the same - "Its your own personal choice..."
Not angry or such but just trying to make a joke...
I'm pretty much happy with the Matr1x Kernel, Netarchy dies on me, GLaDos is pretty good too, Trinity dies on me too...

Nobody can tell you which Kernel will work best for whatever ROM you wish to use it for because even though we have the 'same' phone, they are not all equally built. What may work with amazing battery life and performance to one person, might be terribly sluggish with terrible battery life for the next person. The only real way to tell which ROM+Kernel combo works best for your phone is to try every Kernel you think your phone 'likes'. Whether we all want to admit it or not, that is probably the best way.
Hope this helped, Good luck!

Trinity Kernels
I recently installed the Trinity Kernel and I don't really feel like I see a difference in my phone. I feel like my battery has shown no improvement. I installed the ti5 one but maybe I'll try the ELP one instead to see if I get anything different. I'm really looking for longer battery life. I used the phone theses days for about 30min of music a day (subway ride) and browsing here and there. Turned all syncing and app notifications off.
Check out the attached photos. I've seen screenshots of people with bar graphs showing their device at the top way ahead of everyone else.
