I was looking at the trinity kernel to install on top of eaglesblood 2.3.5, whats T15 vs. Trinity ELP?
You should try both, because I read many post, some have luck with ELP and most with T15
I'm more of a Faux kernel fan, but from what I understand...
T15 = Slightly Undervolted, overclocked to 1.5GHz
ELP = Extremely Low Power, Heavily Undervolted. May not work on all phones because of variations in build quality from chip to chip.
If undervolting is your thing, go with the ELP. If you run into stability issues, try going back to T15.

I've had no issues with MIUI+ELP thus far. No SoD and no random reboots. I'd say give it a try but have the T15 on your sdcard just in case you need to flash it.
I've tried both...but the ELP, for some strange reason, was draining my battery like crazy...T15 is by far the most stable kernel i've tried with MiUi.
Like they said, kernel can vary from chip to chip.
I used miui and t15 .... my reception isn't too good where I live I'm kinda down in a hole and my speedtest was 666mb dL and 256ul .... T15 is awesome especially if you wanna show off your phone ... its like kicking in the NOS ...

Is anyone else having an issue with custom kernels? My Tbolt only seems to run on the stock kernel/voltage. When I flash an oc kernel sometimes it will load and then freeze the system.

All phones are NOT created equally. Your phone may just not be able to handle it while others could.
I realize every cpu used is not the same and can't handle being overclocked to the max, but come on, I can't overclock it at all without it freezing shortly after the Rom starting. Don't you think that's a little out of the ordinary?

I seem to be able to run speeds up to 1.8 or so without issues. Something I'm noticing is even with higher speeds, being on the smart-ass setting still isn't baby butt smooth consistently. I know they are still fine tuning it. I can run at a much lower clock speed while set to on-demand and get great results. How it is on battery life? Still testing. I'm using Ziggy's latest from this evening, BFS.
Yeah that does sound kinda sketchy. Which kernels have you tried? Have you tried running one that wasn't undervolted? I've heard people having issues with the UV kernels.

I know what you mean. I had the 1.2 GHz uv kernel from adrenalyne and the phone ran like crap. What's the point of over clocking if real world results are worse. Smart-Ass would stutter while it was ramping up and gun bros ran like crap until I reverted back to the stock kernel.
I'm hoping somebody makes an OC kernel that isn't under volted.

I'm running Imoseyon's version 3 of the lean kernal, 1.4 ghz, undervolted. it seems much faster and more responsive, and has yet to cause me any problems. Right now I'm running on 20 hours off the charger with 45% battery life left (extended battery, so assuming stock would last around 9 hours).
The only kernel that works for me is adrenaline's 2.6.32.21 battery is life kernel. I've tried his other kernels, imoseyon's lean kernels, and a few others all with the same result of freezing up the Tbolt.

Have you tried adrenalynes newest kernel? I'm using version 4 right now with no problems.
Yeah, another vote for Adrenalyne's kernels here.
I'm running the version 4c, and it's flawless on my phone. (4b locked up at higher speeds.) But the other tweaks he threw in there kick ass. Louder audio, faster charging and, I think, most significant, a potential fix for the GPS issues a lot of people are experiencing. Granted, mine was not too bad -- I could usually get a lock within a minute or two, but now it's locking in under ten seconds.
Can't quite comment on the battery life yet, but it's probably pretty damn good, especially with a minimal overclock or even staying at 1Ghz.
Running one of Ziggy's...so far so good...
I ran Drod's 1.5 kernel with no problems overclocking. When I switched over to Ziggy's or Adrynalyne's overclock kernels, I am unable to overclock with out my phone freezing and going into constant boot loops. Kinda weird but I have no real need to OC so I just went with Adrynalyne's stock kernel and been fine ever since.
Well, the only kernel that I have seen that is undervolted is Leedroid's but it's slightly undervolted.
Is there any way to undervolt the kernel without doing anything stupid? I usually keep my OC to 1.3ghz. It's just weird that I still get bad battery life despite the fact that I have done so many power saving techniques.
Maybe undervolting is the only option I have left?
I'm currently using Faux's kernel, and have the phone overclocked to 1.4ghz. I just wanted to see the results other have got, to rid any paranoia of destroying my phone.
The results are astounding though: sunspider is only 2172ms!
You spelled "phone" wrong in your poll. Anyway I usually have it at 1.4 when charging, 1.2 when off the charger and 1.56 when heavy gaming while multitasking while on HDMI. Get's hot but I put it near an open window, it's 0C outside, and use a PS3 controller to play. Haha, if I didn't have the fan would I do it? Probably, it'd overheat quickly though.
I run mine at 1.2 with occasional runs of 1.5 if I'm doing multiple intensive activities at once.

1.4 ghz max ondemand, 1.2 charging, .8 overheating, -75mhz across the board. 1636ms Sunspider :3
Technically no oc at moment, but I have been OC'ed about 50 % of time I've had the G2x -- but mine does 1560 easy with Faux's kernels + CM7.x
Recently ran into weird behavior with the 12-Dec nightly from Baldwinguy77 + Faux 0.4.7.. when charging it would overheat for no apparenty
So I reflashed to 19-Dec CM7 nightly, not using faux kernel at moment. I'll probably wait til a 0.4.8 comes out or something..
Which one of these would offer the best battery life? It seems the ICUP kernal is over clocked to 1.3ghz and there is no deep idle either so I would think it would be more of a battery drain.

Icup actually performs very well on my phone. I got 17h yesterday with heavy usage. Galados runs very well also. I would say try both for 2days each and see what works best for u.

For the past week or so I've been using Glados 2.4 CFS, and tried a variety of the features (deep idle, live OC, lazy governor etc.), each having a different impact on battery life. Yesterday I just flashed eugene's Icup kernel and so far it seems to have perhaps slightly better battery life. However it's hard to say after less than a day of usage.
Keep in mind that the ICUP kernel is actually not overclocked to 1.3 GHz by default (it is actually 1 GHz, with a maximum CPU freq of 1.3). You need another app like SetCPU or NSTools to set it to 1.3 GHz. And also, the ICUP kernel apparently does have deep idle, albeit a slightly different implementation than the one made by Ezekeel (the creator of the Glados kernel).
As Esteway said above though, the best way to know for sure is to try both the kernels out yourself.
Hello I am wondering whats the best kernel for battery life on CM7 would it be faux or stock? And plus can I just install the faux Cm version start at 1.0 ghz to 1.4ghz, so by overclocking it means it will have less battery life? Could I just install that kernel and leave it at 1.0 ghz? And is the faux kernel better than the CM7 stock in terms of battery and what about performance?
New to this stuff!
Thanks people!
What CM7 are you running? It makes a big difference. Also, battery life is different for every person. So to say one kernel is better than another is based on your use. Now I did notice a difference in battery life and performance when I flashed Faux's kernel. But best advice? Wait a couple days on stock, see how it is. Then flash Faux's or the any other kernel(as long as it CM7 based of course), to compare the results. Of course when your comparing make sure your phone usage is the same, or as close as you can get it

Ya. I flashed the DS OC/UV v.0.4.8 first but like faux says the battery readings were crazy, going up and down all time, I didnt know how much battery I had left. And this was after I calibrated my battery of course. Im using the CM OC/UV v.0.4.8 kernel and its great! Great performance and awesome battery life! Right now I got 38% left with moderate to heavy use on 10 1/2hrs. I posted a few screenshots of my battery use using Battery Monitor Widget Pro. I couldnt post the battery use one cause I rebooted my phone a couple times changing my theme. It reads like 2hrs on battery instead of almost 11. Also I posted a Antutu benchmark score as well. Try one see if it works, no two chips are the same, if it doesnt, he's got 4 different kernels. Plus there's the other kernels that I havent tried yet. Hope this helps!
Overclocking will reduce your battery life but increase your phone's performance. Use an app like SetCPU to choose your clockspeeds and voltages. I don't recommend messing around with voltages until you're much more familiar with over/underclocking.
I've used faux's kernels off and on and never been able to get my G2x to be rock solid stable versus the cyanogenmod kernel but it certainly did increase my battery life by a noticeable amount. Right now I'm running the Trinity ELP kernel and undervolted it even further and I've had absolutely zero issues. If you try faux and don't like it, give Trinity a try.
I prefer Trinity ELP or Faux DS versions if I am in battery savings mode depending on the ROM I am using.
