Best Kernel for Mik V3?

Barats · February 9th, 2012, 10:02 AM

Ok I am going to give Mik V3 another chance after last time, the battery life being horrible. Last time, I never flashed a custom kernel, just used the stock. I know every kernel works different with each phone, but what is the general consensus for the best kernel for this rom?

Thanks!

I assume you're talking about mik3.0... I would try the freedom kernel. I used the agressive freedom kernel and the battery life wasn't that good, so try one of the less agressive kernels.

Let us know how it works out

Performance wise, the AnthraX kernel is above anything else that is available. It isnt as good battery wise, but its heads and shoulders above the other kernels available.

For battery life, Aggressive freedom universal is king for me. It undervolts the kernel the most out of the freedom line, so it has the best battery life.

Did you give it time to settle in? Battery life after a fresh install is always pretty bad. Since Aggressive freedom has the most undervolting its battery life is better than the others in the freedom line. Problem is though, not all phones can handle undervolting. You want to find the limit that your phone can handle.

Your options for kernels with MikG 3.0 are

1) Stock (keep in mind, MikG does not include the newest stock kernel)
2) Anthrax (see above links, but I didn't realize they had public links of Anthrax anymore? I assume that those files have the Qualcomm/Beats source removed? He was ordered to take down those versions.
3) Freedom - Check the recent updates in the thread. Some devs are playing around with Lithid's source and there are actually a couple new versions. One has the SA2 governor and another adds support for swap (has to do with a2sd).
4) Chop Suey
5) Golden Monkey, which has not been updated in ages and I don't recommend, but some like it.
6) Poon Sense - I think this is basically the stock kernel with HDMI enabled. You can get it from Kernel Manager but not anywhere else as far as I know.

I assume that means its ok to link as not as we arent on XDA and you dont let XDA know its available. The letter is dated 1/19 which was way after all that drama.

Yeah but I don't think it was xda that forced him to take it down?. I could be wrong though. I thought there were legal issues from having the beats source included.

Yeah, but the truth is my battery life always suffers no matter what combo I try, cause I refuse to do all the things that save battery. I guess that makes my advice biased. I love having my screen brightness set at 100%, and my screen stays on... everything is set for max performance and crappy battery life.

Yeah thats what I thought too.

I'm not sure why the links are up. Maybe he took beats code out of those. Either way, if theres a link thats dev approved, I'm going to give people the opportunity to get the kernel.

Mikestony · February 9th, 2012, 04:55 PM

I'm using Chop Suey...I'm going on 19 hours now since full charge...very little usage today and use some battery saving tips...set cpu to interactive x with no profiles set (yet).

He probably took it out. No way to tell for sure I guess.

By the way, here's the link to the most recent stock kernel:

xda-developers - View Single Post - [ Radios ][ 9-5 ] All EVO Radio, WiMAX, PRI, NV & HBoot versions

dustwun77 · February 9th, 2012, 08:25 PM

Link no longer works, it is dropbox, prob over the limit?

What would be the benefit of a new stock kernel, supposedly?

Rxpert83 · February 9th, 2012, 08:45 PM

If its dropbox probably.

Could just pull it out of the OTA ROM. Never tried it before but I'll see what I can do.

The new stock kernel doesnt have any CIQ code, so its probably much better than prior ones

dustwun77 · February 9th, 2012, 08:49 PM

capnthrowback put it up, right? He'll prob post it again somewhere else, you reckon?

Might even could get it with a pm.

What would be the benefits though? the current stock rom works well for me, really.

edit: don't the kernels the devs put out have it removed already?

Rxpert83 · February 9th, 2012, 08:56 PM

Anthrax does, but as far as I know none of the other ones do. Maybe the freedom line. None of the rest were still in development when it hit.

As far as dev's editing HTC's code from their stock ROMS? Most probably don't.

Honestly, I know just enough about ROM development to make myself look like a fool when a real dev comes along, so who knows.

I actually put it up on its own thread here: http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?t=11043

If the links there don't work, let me know

.

dustwun77 · February 9th, 2012, 09:02 PM

Interesting.

i thought i read in the changelogs that ciq was removed from the roms? that should have included the kernel, shouldn't it?

Am I reading it right on the Infected forum that Chad is still working on the Anthrax kernel?
