Best Incredible kernel?
- Thread starter gotbst05
- Start date
Wow, this is a great resource, thanks for the link!
I have an og droid, but just picked up a used dinc for my fiance. She's coming from a blackberry so she's used to getting 2-3 days out of her battery and was shocked to only get 10 hours off of a full charge with the dinc. Anyway, I spent last night rooting and removing most of the verizon crap-ware and adjusted her refresh settings to hopefully boost her battery life a bit. She likes the stock sense experience and I don't want to have to babysit her phone when issues pop up from custom roms so I'd like to keep it as stock as possible. The link above has a full list of kernels to choose from but there are no reviews about them. Like the op, I need a good solid kernel that will work on a stock dinc and give a much needed boost to battery life. What's the best option here? They mention the hydra kernel but the link is dead. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

*Warning* that site is out of date.
Thanks, good to know. Do you have any suggestions for a kernel in my situation?

99% of Dinc stuff (excluding CM) happens here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=638
Depends on what kind of ROM you're going to run. SenseUI or AOSP?

I will be keeping the phone stock. No custom roms.

There's lots of sense kernels which is what you'll need. Heyitslou, incredikernel12/23, etc.
Unfortunately I don't know much about them or which ones are up-to-date as I run AOSP ROMs.

Yeah, no kidding. I've spent the past 5-6 months getting very familiar with the og droid. Now diving into the dinc, I'm a bit overwhelmed. I figured I needed a sense kernel, but just wanted to be sure. I don't want to run into issues. Keeping in mind that I will not be flashing any custom roms, will any sense kernel work on a stock rooted dinc? I looked around here, but I have no idea which kernel is the right one for me. I don't have any issue trying multiple kernels, I just want to make sure that I don't flash a kernel that wasn't meant for my phone and screw something up.
Since you mentioned these, I'll pick your brain for a sec. For starters, will these work for my case?
Heyitslou: The most recent is #9, but if I need multi-touch I have to use #7, correct?
Incredikernel: The 12/23 version is the last version that will work with sense, is that correct?

Don't worry about it. I came from the OG a month or so ago so I dealt with it. I'd check out the incredikernel12/23 as it should have all the bells & whistles plus smartass.
Your questions: yes if you want *more* then 2 multi touch but #9 has 2. Yes 12/23.

Alright, I thank you sir. I think I'll flash 12/23 tonight along with the radio you suggested in the other thread and see what happens. Hopefully I don't jack anything up... except battery life
After ready several hundred posts from incredikernel and heyitslou I think I'm actually going to go with heyitslou instead. There just seemed to be way too many issues with incredikernel, at least from the reviews that I read. Thanks again.

That's cool. Let me know how it goes.
