What kernel are you running?? - HTC Sensation

As the title says I thought it would be interesting to have everyone chime in with what rom/kernel combo and if there is a curtain reason you are running that kernel. I understand that everyone has different reasons for what roms they like but not all kernels will run on all roms.
Personally i'm trying to figure out which room will let setcpu work properly.
Now before anyone says anything, there's no reason for anyone to take offense to any of this. We all have own own reasons for what we prefer.
Thank you for your opinion. And participation.

Stock, nothing better at the moment.

I don't have any complaints about the stock kernel except that I can't overclock with it. Drives me crazy.

Overrated, benchmarks mean jack
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e

For me the stock kernel works best for now...

for me Stock kernel..stable - fast - smooth

I was able to achieve extremely high benchmark scores with the Unity v7 kernel OCed at 1.78Ghz on many different roms. However, I have discovered that on many roms, including the one I am currently on, the stock kernel has the least lag even without being OCed. So I agree that those benchmark scores do not equate to everyday use.
Stick with the stock kernel for now.

This is great feedback guys. I appreciate it.

Which Rom next?

Hey guys I've been looking to try another rom.
I've had gingerbeast, leedroid, miui, and now I'm on inspired ace.
I want a Rom the focuses on speed and stability. I want sense and I don't want force close issues. I've been looking at maybe trying virtuous unity, dilligafs sense Rom, or maybe ninja.
I want a Rom that has very few bugs and doesn't necessarily need to be updated all the time.
I should note that I'm very happy with inspired ace but I need more speed and hoping to find a Rom with stronger WiFi.
Eye candy is not a primary focus.
Which do you think should be my next Rom?

CoreDroid hands down has the most/best features and you can always expermient with the kernels (unity and Lee's) to see which you prefer. Both are great kernels.

Virtuous. Do it.

I loved virtuous but I'm trying cleardroid for a while see how this goes. So far the battery life has been amazing.

Try Ingersoll.
Fast, stable, near stock experience...performance with no bells and whistles.
Still one of my fav ROM's even though I'm running with the Beast currently.
I love virtuous unity 1.25. Auto CPU dameon, tweaked sense 3.0, stable fast and good battery life to boot.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I've most recently tried Virtuous and it looked good, but the audio (phone calls) sounded terrible. I'm not sure if I missed something, because I only flashed it to get a quick look at it. Maybe there was a fix in the OP or something specific to my device. Either way, I haven't heard other people with the issue and if I wanted Sense, that's what I'd want to run. Sense 3.0 is nice.
yea, i would like to try sense 3.0, so i think ill give virtuous a try
thanks for the feedback guys, ill revive my thread if i find it missing things i really want
I didn't see anyone recommend Android revolution. It's an optimized stock Rom. Very stable and doesn't update as often as others. Give it a try.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Ingersoll is pretty legit, I bounce from that to cm7, currently using Unity and It's pretty great except for battery drain and seems laggy at times and that could also be operator error

I installed it last night. Loving it so far, but I had to install the audio fix; as you said, the sound was crappy, but the audio fix took care of it. So far it's great. Best data speeds I've seen since Inspired Ace.

Virtuous
Sent from my Inspire 4G
I've run most every ROM, multiple times, for Sense, Virtuous Unity is the most trouble free. Lee, Core, Clear, AR, all had some issues for me.
For non-GB, Ingersoll is very, very good.
If you are having audio trouble on Virtuous Unity, it's most likely a kernel issue, not a Virtuous problem. Clear data, cach, dalvik and reflash. The audio is perfect on that ROM.
Might i ask where the audio fix is thanks

Best ROM

In my opinion Pyrimid3D is the best ROM going around, and Ive tried quite a few.

No CM7 or MIUI till now Getting bored of Sense now I want MIUI!!!
Sorry for not going into detail.
Think the P3D ROM is great mainly because of the quickness, love the blue neon theme, and so many other things. Check out the features on the above link.

I agree, at one is pretty cool. If I wasn't using P3D I would be using it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
just because there are several kinds of this thread already going, but i suppose its pertinant, considering how many new roms are available now, and how many ppl have posted so far
I prefer the stock look over any themed ROM. Especially on the P3D. That neon theme is a love it hate it type of thing. Me, I wanna have full control on what I want on my phone rather than habing it themed for me. Same as with the font used on the ROM. Anyways, I'm running the beta 2.3.5 by baad with faux kernel and it's really fast and smooth. Also, I've tried every other ROM on the sensation and so far the stock based, meaning the untouched but deodexed or odex are the fastest and smoothest.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I have tried most of the ROMs and ended up staying with Energy. It is close to stock but themed just enough to be perfect, and I have never had any problems with it. It gets the best battery life, it's very quick and stable, and best of all the dev is on top of it, any found bug will be fixed instantly.

What was faster for you? CoreDroid or P3D? I'm on CoreDroid 2.3 right now and I love the theme, but I feel like it still isn't the quickest ROM and I'm getting in the mood to try a different ROM (CoreDroid has basically been the only ROM I've tried). If P3D is indeed faster I'll try it out since it has its own nice theme.
does the new faux kernel fix all the 3d and gaming issues?
I always go hack to eagleblood Rom.

Couldn't hurt. I have to admit my web pages are loading faster, transitions are smoother...apps seem to be loading quicker and overall I can tell a difference...but again I have to say its not a "I'm just blown away by this" difference.
Just wanted to add that after flashing this, the first boot took forever...so long in fact I thought I was gonna have to pull the battery and recover a recent backup.
It did improve overall. even lower bat. drain. Thank you dsexton702 for the share.

Anyone using this with a Sense ROM?
I'm using with VU 2.35 sense 3.0 and it does wonders my score before at 1 ghz. Was 1800
Right after installing u.s.a.s still at 1 ghz jumped up to 2200 quadrent score.
After oc to 1.3 ghz my quadrent score was 2600
Runs very nice hard to tell difference as VU 2.35 runs so smooth but its an improvement
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Went from 1991 to 2056. VU 2.35 runs very nice, but was having a small hesitation when turning on screen and this seems to have fixed that issue. Very nice work
So if I cook this in, my autofill does NOT work in messaging, but if I flash it after a rom install its fine
This is an awesome tweak my processor has never been stable over 1.3 now Im running 1.7 ghz and its crazy fast got my quadrent score up to 3000 running this fast
Never had such a smooth experience doesn't matter how many apps are open.

Ultimate setup. Post what your setup is on your captivate

Hey guys I just wanted to start a thread where people can post their setup including rom kernel modem or anything else that seems fit. This does not mean that any are the best but it may give other people cool ideas on how to make theirs better.
Here's mine and its nothing special.
I have cm7 with a kernal that allows me to overclock it to 1.7 (its a beta and is version 12 or something) then I use voltage control to overclock to 1.2 and undervolt. I also just use the stock modem. Some cool apps I use are widgetlocker which allows Widgets on your lock screen and circle launcher.
I am definatly not an expert so sorry for any mistakes.

I'm running latest Miui with stock kernel and modem. Overclocked to 1.2Ghz with voltage control. Work has been crazy lately and I've been too lazy to experiment with different modems and kernels
Im on Cog 5. No overclocking, no nothing. Just stock Cog 5.
I am using the gingerbread launcher, though, instead of touchwiz. I prefer its simplicity.
This is the best my phone has ever worked.

Well, I just got my Captivate (old version), and I'm loving it!!
I've switched ROM's a lot, but now I'm on Dlev 4.2 - Talon kernel.
I'm pretty sure this is overclocked, given the Quadrant scores. Battery life is pretty good - a little more than a day with regular use (games, browsing, talking, texting).
So if I went to miui would I have to reflash my v12 kernel that you other guys have to? I like the way miui looks but I wish it had touchwiz

Unofficial CM9 ROM questions

According to the OP, the torch is supposed to be a working feature. However, I have not been able to get mine to work at all. Was just curious if this was an oversight or something I should correct on my device?
Additionally, I would like to know what a safe and stable OC speed would be for my Inspire 4G.... I'm a bit of a speed-freak but do not want to jeopardise anything.

Are you sure your camera LED's are in good working condition? Speed wise, you can overclock it to almost anything you want. If it is overclocked too much, your phone will just freeze and you might have to format everything to ROM default to get out of it. I think you can go up to 1.2 if I remember correct. I always underclock my ROM so that it saves on battery.
EDIT: I found out that it is an issue with the ROM, follow this thread in DHD, you might need a different kernel.
