I have not seen many Kernel threads in the X section of the site. What are the ones recommended for 4.4.3 on a GSM phone?
I'm mostly looking for optimizations, battery improvements and maybe the ability to OC the CPU.
Thanks.

I'm currently on modaco r21 sense I want to improve my battery life how can I go about doing that? Can I flash a kernel if so which one?
Flash intersectrave or pershoot kernels. Try all the kernels and see which one fit you best, no harm to your phone if you keep on flashing kernel. Dont ask question in this forum because its for DEV only. Use the general forum for all your question.

Hi.
You can improve your battery life by :
-reading forum rules
-usin search button
-poosting in good section
-be polite

IntersectR doesn't support Desire Rom for the newer 34 Kernel.
The last Kernel is 33.5 back in late May that was updatedt that is undervolted and will wor fine on Desire R21. Run the 925 CFS version and you are good to go.
4th Kernel down.

Thanks alot tech I really appreciate it, was actually having some trouble trying to figure out which one was right for me I want to improve my battery but not give up to much speed, thanks again tech...
I was also wondering how I can make my phone run a bit faster I have setcpu an its at 768MHz I was wondering how I could improve that without frying my phone, don't even know if its possible to fry your phone but yea...
I've done some researching and found out that some kernels are better than the ones the ROMS bring... not sure whether this is true but would like to know if this IS true which kernel is the best you guys have come across that makes games run faster, smoother?
Tips appreciated!

Ideally you should stick with the kernel that comes with your ROM. There are slight differences between the kernels that can cause issues.
For instance, CyanogenMod 7 and its derivatives already contain an up-to-date version of Decad3nce's kernel. So there's no need to flash his (now outdated) kernel over these ROMs. Doing so will break CM7's built-in CPU controls and may cause instability.
On the other hand, some of the older, Sense-based ROMs have software that hasn't been updated to reflect changes in the kernel. These ROMs need kernels designed especially for them.
The best idea in regard to stability is to stay with what you have. If you're feeling adventurous, you should look for an explicit statement of compatibility either in a ROM or kernel developer's thread.
Thanks ill read more about s0be and stick with aosp's default kernel.

Interesting......I was under the impression that all of the Cyanogen kernels were capped at 691 MHz though? My phone is stable to 748 MHz with virtually every rom I've tried crashes at 768 MHz. I have been using the Decafuct uncapped #589 kernel with RC4, however it doesn't work at all with 7.0.0 stable and the pre-packed kernel seems very sluggish to me compared with how RC4 runs.

s0be's latest (Ap 5) FTW!!!! Smokin'!
I would like to know if HTC's stock 1.29 kernel contains the following patches or not:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-mako/pull/1
I get a lot of msm_hsic_host wakelocks and would like to know if I can expect some improvement in the near future or even just unlock and install a custom kernel which does include these fixes. if HTC's kernel already had these patches than I have to look elsewhere (maybe swap my unit)
And if so, how much longer do you think? Have you seen any hints or rumors plastered on the net? Do you have any links to evidence of 3.10 coming? Are we missing out on anything of importance that 3.10 brings?
Does anyone know why we are still on 3.1, which was released in 2011? I thought Nexus devices got all the good stuff first... Or are only custom roms and kernels using 3.1?
Android devices rarely get new kernel versions anyway since the kernels tend to be customized to work with a specific device, and the binary drivers are built for a specific version of the kernel. This is not as bad as it sounds tho, since a lot of stuff can be backported meaning you get functionality from a newer kernel without the actual kernel version changing. Even more common with custom kernels. For example there's ROMs for our device that uses the F2FS file system which first appeared in the 3.8 kernel and gotten big changes every version after that, and it runs just fine backported to the 3.1 kernel.

Ok, so this quote here from Linux.com about commits that look like they are made for Nexus 7 2012, is just wishful thinking? I hope not because 3.10 is a massive jump in technology, and possibly even in performance for our device.
there are architecture-specific commits for 3.10 in the kernel/tegra project, which points to development for the 2012 Nexus 7.

EDIT: Ok, I see now, so many new things from 3.4 and 3.8 may already be in our 3.1 custom kernels? If Google releases a 3.10 for the N7 I hope our devs take advantage of it, instead of porting things over to 3.1. I'd like to see our device get Android 5.0 and kernel 3.10, that would really make me feel like this was one of the best investments I have ever made.
As I said, lots of the improvements from newer kernels have already been backported so there wouldn't be as big a difference in performance as you might think. The tegra commits are interesting, but sadly does not confirm anything. For example, the android police article on those same commits mentions that screenshots from the nexus 4 and 5 with the new android version still show them on kernel 3.4. The chance that the 2012 nexus 7 would get a kernel update while the nexus 5 seems awefully slim. I hope I'm wrong tho, since I think it would make things simpler for the custom kernel developers to base stuff on a newer kernel but I wouldn't get my hopes up...

Ok, thanks for making it a little more clearer to me. I kept thinking our 3.1 kernel from 2011 was holding us back from getting one last great update. I think features are no longer needed and I just want them to push performance as far as this thing can be taken. So with ART and F2FS finally coming, I was hoping a better kernel would grace us as well. lol, but it looks like a newer kernel wouldn't do much that the devs haven't already done.
Thanks buddy for jumping in and clearing some of that up for me. :good:
Nvidia released their kernel 3.4.35 for tegra3
I am currently running PN 7.1.1, with ElementalX. I've been reading the B14CKB1RD kernel thread, and people seem extremely satisfied with it. Has anyone went from ElementalX to B14CKB1RD? Any noticable differences?
I can say from experience his kernel is the only n6 kernel I will use now, I've used most of them before I went to blackbird.
both are very good better than fracos kernel ,
Elementalx : stable, battery friendly and fast updates & regularly
B14CKB1RD : battery friendly but not stable and the update is slow
B14CKB1RD kernel better than ElementalX, because have more features and better customisation.
ElementalX like stock, more simple and easy.
i tries many kernels and using ElementalX for few mounts, but better kernel for me it's- FLASH and B14CKB1RD
Don't post threads like this. In my opinion it's rude to ask X kernel vs Y kernel or X rom vs Y rom.
Make a backup of your "boot" partition in TWRP. This contains your kernel and ramdisk. Flash any kernel you want, and there are plenty more than just the two you mentioned. Use kernel adiutor-mod to look at the settings you can change and tweak them to your liking. If you don't like the kernel or find it's missing options, restore your boot partition in TWRP then flash another kernel.
EVERY user is different. Therre is no "best" kernel. Depending on your usage habits you might even tweak stuff like governor, hotplugs, and voltages. So in conclusion, try it and find out on your own!!!!
As stated before, dont post threads like this. As it doesnt matter what anyone else uses or how it works for them as each device is different and you may get different outcomes from using a kernel.
In the end, they them out and make up your own mind instead of allowing yourself to be told.
