Awesome!

You have to love this guy. So much help for the DInc community.

Is the tun.ko still in this release? I am running a hydra kernel now, but willing to try something else if I can improve battery life and have good performance with virtuous 2.7.

ok. so ive decided to try this one cause iv been thinkin about a kernel lately. i so i loaded it, went into recovery, chose zip from sd , and nothing ...... where did i go wrong? when i look at my sd card on my computer its there. but not on the green list....?

disregard. it was below the line..... :facepalm:

[gotbeer5150]

Ok. Where do the get this kernel, and how do i install it?

[gotbeer5150]

Ok scratch part of that. I just downloaded i kingxkernal 5. Now how do i install it?

Put the zip on your SD card and install from clockwork mod.

[jdazzr]

Installed this yesterday. Today battery appears to be better and phone responds snappy.

[sonar_chris]

This is a good build, averaging 39 on linpack with Redemption Rom 2.0.3. Looking forward to the battery life results.

[Wicked96ta]

Very good kernel, going from KK#1 to this one and it's a lot faster for me.

[jdazzr]

i have a question about changing kernels. do i just flash the new one over and then remove the old one?

[Upstreammiami]

is it me or the charging takes 4-ever

What I did was flash the new one and everything worked perfect.

[jdposhkus]

I slapped this on yesterday and I could literally watch the battery percentage drop...Ill try it again later when I am not working.

I threw this on yesterday with uncommon sense final beta and it was really choppy. Went back to the stock kernel. Did I miss something or is there a way to clean that up?

Not that I know of.

My experience with King's kernels is that they start out great...and as they get some time on them, the behavior becomes erratic.

I usually notice it first when it takes two or three swipes to unlock the phone. #5 is starting to do this...and I'm not using SetCPU at all.

I was actually happy with Adrynalyne's kernel, and I'll probably go back. The inner geek in me wants to see killer Quadrant and Linpack scores.

The owner simply wants a smooth running phone...

Anyone have a mirror site that has his kernel? Looks like KK's website is down.

Yeah, I'm with you. Haven't strapped this one on yet, but Uncommon Sense seems to do best with stock kernels (though I'm on Hydra right now and getting pretty good results).

I've been using King's #1 (HAVS-OC-UV) for about 2-3 weeks without issues. During the past 2 days I've seen a couple of FC but I think it had to do with extra apps I removed. Battery life is a lot better than stock (using setCPU too) and the phone seems more responsive than with stock kernel. I don't care about gaming on my phone so pretty happy thus far.

[Psycomantix]

I have ran King's #4 for about 2-3 weeks without any FC issues and was much better then stock. I just loaded up King's #5 for a test go. So far so good.

[whipstitch]

Loaded up King's #5 and the battery life is great. Getting some jerkiness in rockplayer app (playing divx files) which is annoying. Hmmm.

"It's Fixed"

No, it's not...

[AisforAustin]

No, it's not...

LOL. I literally laughed out loud. But this kernel is working just fine for me; battery life could is alright, getting about 10 hours on moderate usage and I really don't care how fast or slow it charges because I charge my phone every night.

I realize that some kernel/ROM combinations don't play well with each other. I was on the Desire HD port while using #5...and I was getting the same problems I had when I used #4 with Virtuous...it'd take two, three, four swipes to unlock the screen, hesitation when flipping through home screens, yada, yada. That, and my MOAB was draining at an alarming rate.

I know that ROM isn't anywhere near ready for prime time yet...but I was getting many of the same ill behaviors as I got out of #4. When I changed out to Adrynalyne's kernel, many of the problems went away.

You are using the Adrynalyne kernel he built for Virtuous, right?
