if you're a user that simply uses it as a phone, then yeah, you'll get battery life out the wazoo. otherwise, forget about all the kernels and cpu hacks. nothing is gonna work. you'll be tethered to a power supply all day and nite.

Yep, I have to agree with you on the kernels. I have tried most of them and especially recently, they completely slow down my phone if that makes sense. Tried kk #9 and my linpack scores afterwards were 2.9 and 2.5??? Stock kernel seems to work well for me. Not sure why I cant get the others to work other than the older netarchy ones. I did wipe Dalvik and cache before flashing the kernels as well.

Battery life is going to suck no matter what PPC, Android, IPhone, BB on the planet if you actually use it. LOL>

Of course the stock kernel link is down.

Here's the stock kernel from post 1. Good luck.

I agree too. I can turn off ALL syncing, data, GPS, BT and paperweight my phone for 24-48 hours. Again with zero practical application.

A few phone calls, a decent amount of email and surfing, and the battery goes down quick. The radios seem to drain it.

My solution.. two external chargers and batteries!

Thank you sir.

So am I the only one with the problem streaming flash audio through the browser?

Well it IS a well established fact that you dont know what you are doing

I wouldn't say I'm a "Power User" tapping into every ability of the device but I definitely dont need to be plugged in all day.

I, without a doubt, see performance improvements with King's kernels.
Netarchy's are great too but for my use King's seem better.
I L-O-V-E the new unlreased stock kernel-slight hit on performance but battery life is through the roof.
King is working on converting the AOSP kernel over to Sense ROM's. His thread here:
EDIT
[KERNEL] [BETA] [2.6.34.5] [4Sense] [Oc] [Uv] #1 "Sorry For the Wait" - xda-developers
is worth keeping an eye on IMO.

Mike says it great right there and I'll add to his statement.
Kernels will respond differently on different devices on the same ROM.
You just gotta try a lot of them and see how it responds.

Of course, as is already stated, using your device will use up your battery

I'm stoked Virus brought his ROM here, the "other" forum was um, different.

thanks Squat. I wish I had better luck on KK's kernels. I flashed zone new rom last night and it is blazing fast with Netarchy latest kernel. I guess I'll keep trying and see what the differences are. Good news on KK work. It's great to have him as well as Virus with his excellent roms!

im trying to download the sense rom but it looks like is down, when i click the link sent me to blank page

Not sure if I totally agree with the few of you with kernel beliefs, because I can without a doubt tell a difference in some kernels compared to others... CFS#7 and BFS#8 have been best to me so far...
