Root What kernal are you using?

Right Using Netarchy's 4.1.9.1 CFS.....Im bouncing between him an Kings Kernel

I was using Netarchy's kernel but it started lagging up my phone terribly. I switched to Kings and so far so good, no complaints. I just wish these kernels wouldn't have limits to the camera usage but I get why the devs set it that way (performance reasons)

I'm new to the root world, and therefore don't know much about kernels. Im using netarchy 3.7.5, and I'm just wondering whether I can see/change any settings of the kernel, or if its just something that purely runs in the background...

Kernels just unlock some features in ur phone, like the FPS cap, overclocking, better battery life, etc... There's settings that u can change from the ROM, and setCPU is used to set up the overclocking. Search around a bit more and u will soon be an expert in this rooting stuff....

I would use Fresh's Rom except that it is based upon the dreaded Sense which has destroyed their dialer by inexplicably removing the "bluetooth" button from it. If someone from HTC perchance reads this, can you explain to me who the GENIUS was that decided we would be BETTER off WITHOUT a bluetooth toggle on our dialer? I mean, you took it off ON PURPOSE (facepalm).
