Hello! I am trying to find a new custom kernel that might boost performance on my phone and I have also tried changing roms and rooting it but still the performance is lacking...

Hi experts,
I am currently using LG P500 with stock rom & kernel. I have never rooted rom before this. I have read somewhere from useful thread from this forum like here but am still not so sure and wondering if any problem will effect to the stock rom if I would like to flash kernel on my phone.
Most of the time I depend on my mobile phone such as alarm clock so just worried anything happen to the rom will cause me troublesome. ^^; I might flash rom in future but not now. So am interested about flashing kernel since people said that flash kernel will save battery life as well as overclock cpu. It would be glad if someone could explain to me or sharing link with great info.
Thanks a lot.
regards

can i ask which software you are using?
you have to be careful when flashing kernels as some kernels may not be compatible with your specific software.
I would search for specific kernels for your software and if you have root, then make sure you have a backup kernel for the one you are about to flash and if any problems arise you can flash it back.
I use Kernel Update Utility 0.9 to flash different kernels to my device so maybe you can look into that once you have done your research
Hi guys. I've been following both the android and original android development sections of the OPO forum and have found no kernel that can overclock the OnePlus One running stock (rooted and BL unlocked) CM11s.
So, my question is very simple: is there any kernel that overclocks CM11s? (Yes, i know it is plenty fast already, the only purpose i have for it is bragging rights at the bar TBFH and to see how far it can go)
There is currently no custom kernel with overclocking features that will boot on CM11S.
If you really want it then you can go and flash a custom ROM and flash a kernel such as ak kernel which does have overclocking up to 2880MHz.
Do not flash ak kernel while on 11S, your phone will not boot.

Thank you for you answer. Yes, I realize it wont boot on CM11S. infact, that is the first warning you read upon seeing the kernel.
I guess I will have to wait, since I think CM11S is by far the best ROM for the OnePlus... I had already installed 5 different roms on it and flashed furnace kernel only to see no difference in benchmarks (i think it's because it throttles, even though i stuck it in the cooler)

Benchmarks mean absolutely nothing. Its all about day-to-day performance. Custom ROMs are better in my opinion because currently on 11S there are numerous crucial bugs that are affecting the phone from being used. Just to name some,
- In-call audio volume fixed.
- Some workarounds on the touchscreen problem.
... the list goes on and on but I don't feel like explaining all of them but custom ROMs offer a lot more features than what stock has to offer plus they give you a sneak preview of whats to come in the next OTA without having to wait for it.
The decision is up to you, they're all free after all. Thats the joy of custom ROMs and kernels
Hello! I have the Boost Mobile LG Volt and I am somewhat of a noob but smart enough to get it rooted on V4 using a rollback guide and towelroot. My problem is i hate the stock kernel and hate not having voltage control. Is there a flashable package that i can use to add voltage control and all of the other fun things that come with a custom kernel? Ive seen guides on porting roms to my device and they seem fairly simple since its just editing a zip with all custom stuff and leaving the sys files alone. Again the kernel!!! Ive tried flashing so many diffrent kernels but they all softbrick my phone
I love this phone. With root i have CPU settings so it lasts 3 days heavy use. I want more !!! Please help!!!
The stock kernel for this phone is available on githubhttps://github.com/chevanlol360/Kernel_LGE_X5
And from what im reading kernels must be device tailored?

yes sir they do. development is still in its infancy, there are people working on cyanogenmod right now, but they "JUST" got audio support, so you may want to wait a minute. There are a few custom roms available, just takes a lil google-fu.
Also you are very lucky to still have a working phone, careful with those kernels.
I'm thinking of installing a custom kernel (elementalX) but I'm not interested in overclocking it or anything like that, so I'd be running it on vanilla settings. My question is that is there any point in flashing a custom kernel in this case? Will I benefit from installing it (maybe the phone will run a bit smoother, better battery life, etc) or will I just be creating more potential issues?
Currently running LibertyROM (4.4.2 KitKat, Sense 6) with whatever kernel it came with.
bump!
oh c'mon. is it really that stupid of a question?
Hi, I been trying out different custom roms but now I wanna try with kernels.
What should I look for about kernels to get idea of what kind of feature they have? I heard some have battery/charging features, etc.
I've tried some that listed on this forum zero gravity,mochi (from stock roms), etherious and neutrino flamescion.
i also tried benchmarking with each kernel, i see scores 5-8%. Aside from that, I cannot notice anything different.
I not looking for a gaming kernel. Just want to get idea about these for so I can start somewhere.
if you want a general idea about kernels just google it but if u want to make a kernel your self this post may help u https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/reference-how-to-compile-an-android-kernel.3627297/
