Have been waiting a while for some custom kernels to come out for the 5X, still none for Marshmallow and only a few for Lollipop. Looking for one that overclocks the CPU & GPU mainly (petty excuse for wanting one, but :laugh
phone seems to run good on the stock kernels but yeah id be down for one as well.

The stock kernel is extremely good, but i wonder how the 5X will perform of it had a custom/better kernel

Hi i have been wondering for quite some time on wether if i am able to Root my phone using the One click root method (From Unlockr) and do nothing with it. Meaning i do not want to load a custom rom. Would the phone still work (Meaning Rooted"Able to do anything such as Overclocking and etc") ?
Btw have anyone tried overclocking the Hero and tried playing 3d game like Zenonia? Does it still lag with the volume on ?
Any tips to improve 3d gaming on hero ?

Yes you can root without using a custom rom, but usually only on some roms. There is a guide around here somewhere (check wiki) to "root a virgin hero"
You can't overclock the Hero any more than stock as it runs at the max, though someone has hacked a kernal now to make it run faster it is only available in one custom rom. So no, there is no way to improve gaming on hero, though various custom roms play better than others.
What u mean is that there is a rom to make game run faster? BTW Villian rom looks like a good rom but no screenies for me to see the screen i mean launcher(Sense Ui or Nexus launcher). Does the villian rom works perfectly meaning does the phone have all the feature working?
I heard that 2.1 roms are able to play multitouch gaming? does the villian rom support it? Over clocking is a yes for villian rom right ?

There is no ROM designed just for 3d game performance, however some of them do perform better than other in that area. Look at this thread about 3d performance http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656818
VillianROM runs SenseUI and in my opinion very good. Very smooth and quick (it runs a lot quicker than stock 1.5 ROM's. Everything works on the phone with that rom loaded however the GPS can only only get a lock if you turn it on and reboot the phone (this might of been fixed in 5.3 i'm not sure)
Multi-touch should, in theory work on every ROM built from 2.0 onwards however in my experience the Hero Capacitive screen can be a little temperamental with it, however in answer to your question yes VillainROM does support it.
VillainROM isn't built off an overclocked kernel so no you can not over clock it. (the phone needs to be overclocked at kernel level not application) However as stated in the post above there is an overclocked kernel somewhere on here and someone has built a ROM around it if you can find it, check the wiki.

I have been wondering how individuals can make custom kernels that outperform the stock Android kernel made by Google's finest.
I use a custom kernel which gives better speed, battery, extra mods etc. but it has been made by a 21 year old student.
Why don't Google just build the kernel like that in the first place? They've got the know-how, right?
I think a lot of it is that the kernels that come stock work best with the phone in general. Sure, you can overclock and everything but at the end of the day that ends up decreasing overall life of the device by adding extra stressors on the device.
Not saying that that's even relevant anymore, given that the 2 year contract is definitely short enough to beat the hell out of your phone without too many major repercussions at the end of it. I think they just like investing in the long term.
Agree. Stock kernels are most stable.

Also agree stock kernel is better all round in most cases but of course you get better performance with a good custom kernel.
You do get instability and worse battery in most cases on custom. Depends what you want out of your phone. Most of my roms I release with stock kernel.
I think everybody is just obsessed with over clocking when in most cases is not needed

Custom kernels are like teenagers and sports cars. Eventually you grow out of it and want stability. However custom kernels are awesome and thanks to the devs who tweak then.

Overclock maybe yeah, not needed. But undervolt, it can saves battery life..CMIIW.
They sure are mate, they sure are!
But, they "could" mess around with the phone and its functionality "if" its not the perfect one!
Mostly, the battery life "if" its overclocked!
Hello everyone,
I've been looking for recent benchmark tests over Android Kernels to choose the best one for me. I wonder a comparison specially between Siyah, Franco and Phenomenal. Actually I am open for kernel advises and recommendations.
Just to know I am looking for kernels which provides a nice handling processes for power safe but also a good performance when I need it...
Regards

Test them and you will see, does take you 2 minutes to flash you a kernel though

Sure I'll test them all.
I'd like to receive recommendations about people which already uses. I saw that most of people uses Siyah, like you, do you like it? What are your insights about Siyah?
For my phone and my environment it works well. For yours I do not know .
Just wondering what kernels people are running on NOS m7 v2.0.3 it comes with the stock kernel. From reading thread it seems like a lot of people are using Beastmode kernel and a few people are using crpalmer kernel. Any advantages of one over the other? Will one work better than the other?

Beastmode is faster IMO, benchmarks higher, overclocks to 1.9, has more options, it also has sweep2wake and the flashy button thingy, and USB drives mount automatically without a third party app. It doesn't have the best battery life but it's not bad either. It seems to get unstable for me when I put the lowest frequency at 192 mhz.
Crpalmers kernel is more of the opposite approach. Reliability, battery life, and improving upon all the faults of htc's stock kernel. The battery life is pretty unreal ppb this kernel. It's completely stable at any frequency with any governor. It doesn't have any extra frills though like sweep2wake or extreme overclocking.
Both of them are excellent kernels it's really just personal taste. I would recommend trying both for a few days and seeing which you prefer.

Yeah I have been on crpalmer's for a couple days and so far have thought has done great. Not really into overclocking on my phone since I don't really using it for gaming or anything CPU intensive right now. Thanks for the input.
Is there any app available that can overclock this device. Thanks

You can't overclock a phone through an app, but if the phone has a custom kernel that was designed especially for that app, then yes, you may overclock your device but unfortunately our device hasn't the support of any overclock apps such as Tegrak(Which is not only for Tegra) and Franko's Kernel, besides we barely got a custom kernel that is not good, so for the best performance i suggest you to use the stock rom as it's the most stable and it offers the best performance. Cheers !
Thanks for the reply. I was just kinda wondering since this phone already has a nice battery life, it would be cool if we can add performance by sacrificng some of its battery life
