I'm playing around with the netarchy kernels as I've heard good things:

[GPL][Kernel]netarchy-toastmod, Stable: 4.1.9.1 Beta: 4.2.1 - xda-developers

See if they can beat my favorite kernel for battery life and responsiveness for my phone, Baked Snack kernel #6.

Also, Myn has said good things about ziggy's latest kernel

 

I too would also like to know this

 

Where is Ziggys Kernel. I checked the Wiki.

 

Ziggy471 Evo Kernels FPS Fixed (Updated 5 Nov)

 

No you dont, just wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash the new kernel.

 

are you using setCPU with baked snacks 6 or know of anyone using it with ziggy's?. i tried King's 11 and even though it isnt suppsed to have HAVS, it still did not work well for my EVO, with warm 2.2. I got constant restarts and freezes so i reverted back to stock kernel.

 

You need to boot into recovery, amons or clockwork.

 

I didnt use setcpu with BS #6 as hero recommended not using it. I've tried a couple HAVS kernels, netarchy cfs and bfs and work fine on my phone but I know it depends on the phone as some dont work well with them but I stopped using setcpu altogether as that can cause issues as well.

 

ok thanks for that gabbott

btw, do you have a link for BS #6 standalone? the only place i found it is when its implemented with BS 1.8 rom.

 

The only place you're gonna get Baked Snack #6 is: BakedSnackShack.com but you'll have to leave a donation to have full access to forums and premium downloads...

 

I tried several kernels with RLS3, and found kings #9 to work the best, by far...

 

Did you try any netarchy kernels? Curious how kings was over them.

 

I've been running netarchy 4.1.9.1 cfs aggressive and I'm loving the battery life I'm getting out of it. I'm really impressed with it.

Maybe 3% drop if I leave it uncharged, and the battery doesn't tank with the screen on when I use it. I've had it go over an hour and a half (sleeping) without dropping a percent in charge while I was at work and what not.

With medium to heavy use, I can at the very least get 8 hours of usage out of it. Thats with google talk on, gmail, texts, always on mobile data, web surfing/XDA app, and 20 minutes or so of Angry Birds every day.
With my usage I could probably go a bit over 11 hours unplugged until it died, I always plug it in before that point though.

Kings #11 was better than the HTC #11 kernel, but not a ton. Performance wise was the same, but the battery life was a tad bit better. The HTC #10 kernel was better than kings #11 for me by a very small margin. By far though, the winner for my phone was netarchy 4.1.9.1.. I can't believe the performance and battery life I get with it.
I'm tempted to try the netarchy 4.2 kernels but I don't want to screw anything up with my phone heh.

 

Which is "faster" Met 4.2 or Kings #11?
I am loving kings #11 but it is a little slow and has a slight amount of lag sometimes. I am loving the battery life though!

Um, how exactly do I do that?

To Brent,

from the sounds of it, your problems with King's # 11 may be do to an installation problem. Might I suggest that you re-flash the kernel of your choice, but before doing so, wipe the cache and dalvik completely. I use Clockwork and employ the "Double-wipe" method.

As for the King's # 11, I'll pass. I want the flexibility of under-clocking as well as over-clocking. For this reason, the stock kernel was tossed immediately.

I'm using the Netarchy 4.1.9. cfs non HAVS combined with conservative profiles in SetCPU. If my battery performance can be improved, I doubt it will be to any noticeable degree. I will give the new Ziggy's kernel a try at some point, but I'm in no hurry.

 

I'm using RLS3 with kings#11 and I'm not having any of those problems.

^ Exactly what I would do. I was having a problem with RLS3 until I was instructed to do the double wipe. Everything works now.

 

If you flash the new RLS3, that is the stock kernel. Just reflash the rom if you want it back. Yes, it is htc #10.

I have found, for me and my use and my phone, that the stock kernel is working great. I have problems using ziggy kernels (screen streaks, sever lag, everything is shaky - but from what I understand that is due to my hardware). Kinds worked fine when I was on rls2 and bakedsnack6 did too. BUT....the most stable, smooth, predictable and reliable combo I have found is rls3+stock kernel. I lose less than 1%/hour when the screen is off and not being used, I can easily go an entire day on one charge with moderate use (3-4 calls, tons of texts, GMail auto-pushes, clock/weather widget updates every hour, browsing the internet, etc).

As it's been said - every phone and user is different. Plus it takes a few days for the rom and kernel to jive. If and when I've had bad battery drain I have always found it was something other than the kernel or the rom that was the problem (double/ghost widgets, runaway app, sleep/awake time not changing, forgetting to turn off shootme or Pandora, etc).

 

Its fast, has great battery life and tastes DELICIOUS! It's a new kernel by I. M. CHICKEN.
