Is this possible? Has someone made one already or is there a way to enable it? I've never had luck with custom kernels, they always drain my battery faster, but I can't live without sweep2wake now that I've tried it

For all I know, s2w is part of the kernel, so stock kernel could not handle it.
What you could do, is port the code showp added for the s2w to the vanilla htc kernel source and compile it.
To be honest, it seems an overkill. There are enough custom kernels have this option, and most can act as the stock kernel given the right parameters.
Try Bricked or Faux's kernels.

You should configure your ROM after installing a custom kernel e.g. frequencies, governor etc.
I never expereineced extreme battery drain with custom kernels (compared to stock).

I always do, but it doesn't really help battery. Just makes performance a little snappier. For me its been like this on every device I've owned. Custom kernels just seem to drain my battery faster than stock even after lowering frequencies, changing governor's, undervolting, etc. I think sometimes less is more when it comes to kernels, id like to just run stock kernel but need sweep2 wake. Also I've used both faux and bricked. Both great kernels by awesome devs, just would like something a little less modified and feature packed

ok so i finally found a rom that i love which is leedroid......but know i wanna what kernel is my best option????? im looking at some battery saving kernels lol.....if there is such a thing.....and does the camera mode really work?
Stock maybe best at third this time. The only other option is Virtuous v7, I'm testing it right now but it doesn't seem any better than stock right now. Mind you its only day one so time will tell.

If you want battery life, you could also underclock to 1 GHz. However, you will need a kernel that supports OC/UC

Right now every kernel save Stock is built for 2.3.3, so I recommend staying stock for now. Lee added smartass governor so the kernel embedded in LD 2.2 may be better than full stock.
Unity V6 and V7 work with 2.3.4 ROMs, but my testing showed no advantages in speed or battery usage. YMMV of course.
For now, I would be patient and wait until HTC posts source code for 2.3.4 kernels. When that happens you can expect s flood of scaling, overclocking and battery saving kernels. For now, I recommend staying stock.

Ok weird......I see everyone talking about unity v6 and v7........I'm using v8 right now

just like roms, its personal preference...for me, unity v7 works best of custom kernels for speed/smoothness, but the stock htc kernel for 2.3.4 is still the best when it comes to battery life/stability
Ok, first off, it's spelled KERNEL. There is no "a" in the word "kernel".
Now, I personally believe that Stock works the best as of right now in terms of battery life, so long as you have the correct radio and RIL combination. Custom kernels are good for over clocking, assuming you want to impress people with "good quadrant scores" and the like. But honestly, they yield a lesser battery life and higher temperature compared to stock. So if you intend on leaving your charger at home, I recommend any rom with stock kernel (ie CoreDroid, rooted Rom, Senseless, etc).
The stock kernel is best right now if you're not overclocking and other mods.
Can someone give me link to stock kernel and radio?

Hello, I would just like to hear some opinions on what your kernel experience has been like. I would like to know about how performance and battery life have been, as well as any glitches or bugs you've seen with either kernel. Also I would like to know what you've clocked your processor to and with what means.
I will be using ARHD 4.1.3 so if you have used your kernel with this rom that will help a lot.
ps: I am aware that with Faux kernels you can use the Daemon Controller app to control your clock speed, but I was wondering what the best means of controlling the clock speed with Bricked is.
Post away!

System tuner works very happily with Bricked.
faux is better
I like faux because:
1) Has, generally, more features
2) Works well with Daemon Controller--less resources on CPU/workload on batt than SystemTuner
does it help with the power button/screen flash issue?
I use bricked because faux kernals tend to make my phone extremely hot

I would have to say Bricked because I have tried them all and as far as reliability and performance.

Honestly? I think both kernels are excellent. Both devs are amazing at what they do and I've happily used both of their kernels in my wife's and my own Sensations.
My wife's Sensation has Faux 0.2.3r3, while mine has Bricked 1.5.
As for clock speed control, I generally stick with FauxClock to work with Faux's kernel. I use SetCPU and init.d scripts to control Bricked clock speed and voltage respectively. I'm just not a fan of System Tuner.
Both phones are set at 384/1188 wake and 192/432 sleep. I raise the clock on mine when I feel like playing some FPse.
I have used both bricked and faux kernels. Here are my observations: Faux is faster but has bad idle battery life. I actually get better awake battery life using faux. Bricked seems to be slower but I get amazing idle battery life.
I have used bricked 1.4r2 and faux 2.3b4, 2.3b16, 2.3r3, and 2.4b6.
Bricked had never steered me wrong. Been using shows kernels since I started with arhd. Faux kernels seem rushed and always in need of a fix. (just my opinion)
I just oc daemon to control my kernel.
I was using 0.91 for the longest time until I broke down and decided to try 1.4r and it is working beautifully. But try then both out. To each his own.
I think both kernels are great. But I think more developers use Bricked. Currently I use Bricked because it updates more often and I can download test builds.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
I used faux kernel before (with ARHD 3.6.5) and bricked kernel right now. Both of them are good. And in my experience, idle battery consumption is slightly better in bricked kernel than faux. But they are not different a lot if you often turn on the lcd to use apps, games or other else.
i tested bricked faux and tiamat on the FpSE playstation emulator and running stock 1.188 mhz only tiamat played gran turismo smoothly using the "lagfree" governor, so i use tiamat now.
and in the benchmark id have to say bricked performed better that faux
In my experience, Bricked has been more stable (I had freezes with various Faux kernels) but assuming both are working 100%, Faux has been slightly faster while Bricked is better on battery life.
Will you guys swear at me a lot of I say that stock is the best so far? 2.3.5 I mean

Faux's thread is gone and there is no faux's kernel for sensation any more.
yep, bummer...not sure why faux left the building!
faux is still there. It's the HTC Stock kernel in the developer section.

This is exactly it. I've used both Faux 0.2.3r3 as well as 0.2.4 release; and Bricked v1.5.
Faux has worse idle battery life but better awake battery life. Bricked has better idle battery life but shorter awake battery life.

Bricked...find battery life better that overclocked kernel. And sweep2wake is great.
SebastianFM Overclocked kernel v1.4.1
This one is the best for me... 1728Mhz version is stable for me... Battery consumption is great (average use with wifi always on can last up to 2 days.. Using with set-cpu app to limit the higher frequency border sometimes when cpu power is not needed..
Faux. Very responsive, great battery life.
another bricked here. i thought sweep-to-wake was just a gimmick but after using it a little while i'd miss it if i couldn't have it. plus bricked is fast and stable and great battery.
Sebastians for my current rom....
I'm also using SebastianFM 1.4.1 kernel at 1782 mhz. Very stable and smooth. The battery life is fine for me, better than stock.
Don't know about anyone else, but I don't use 'kernals'...
I use 'kernels'
Just saying...
I use Faux123 v004, I tried different kernels and this is for me the best, it don't need setcpu to uc when screen is off and battery drain is so good (since 20h30mn I used 25% with normal utilization)..

Faux. great battery life.
Bricked. best performance and good battery life. Phone doesn't heat up that much anymore unlike when I was using faux. I love the fact that you can set what are the default values you like for the Max/Min/Screenoff and choose also your preferred GPU OC. Very stable and very balanced.
Using v0.61
ShowP also offers great support for the kernel and its users. He is now currently working on Sweep2wake and sweep2lock. It's a great feauture that lets you easily wake and lock the screen just by swiping the softkey.

Hello!
You probably already heard about the OC module by coolbho3000. It's really nice and most of the credits should go to him.
Last night I was checking the module's code and tweaking it, and today I want to release the changes I've made to it.
Basically, the changes are the following:
- Overclock up to 1.9GHz
- It also supports the following speeds: 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 GHz (with a voltage lower than 1300000uV)
- Code improved a little.
I've attached a ZIP file with the compiled module, a modified thermald.conf, and the source code.
Enjoy it!

Does this Undervolt the stock cpu speeds? anyone got a module that only does just that, undervolts with no overclocks. I personally think the phone is snappy enough at the stock speeds and have no desire to overclock. but If i could undervolt it for more batt life at stock speeds i'd be all for it.
How is this working for everyone?

The battery scripts in most of the custom roms out right now already include under clocking scripts, I thought. Noob here though.

underclocking and undervolting are two entirely different things. also I haven't heard of a ROM that underclocks as that would affect performance (read: speed)
