Just tried out the slayher uv1000 and I can honestly say it is the fastest kernel I have tried. It smokes everything else I have tried for internet browsing. The interactive setting in setcpu has no lag whatsover. It is smooth as silk. We'll see how the battery life is but even if it is a bit lower I am staying as long as it stays stable on my phone. Not that I believe in benchmarks but I ran one for the heck of it in the interactive mode 1000/400 and it came out at 1488. Faster than any other 1000 kernel I have run on the performance setting!

kinda retarted question here, but, i want to use one of the slayher kernals and im one of the many stuck in the boot loop if wifi is on. What does it mean to flash the newest nightly? Does that have any affect on the current rom or theme? (im not using CM btw)
I used the slayher 1.2 for a few mins before turning on the wifi and that thing was SUPER fast, boot time, loading of all icons/widgets and maybe more (didnt get too far). Just want to get past the pesky boot looping on slayhers kernals, thanks in advance!

The nightly refers to CM. SO dont worry about that.
1. What ROM are you running,
2. What version of the kernel did you download?

I'm using Liquids 1.41 and tried your new 1.6 1200mhz kernal.
So your saying all i would have to do is flash the newest nightly (just like any theme or kernal) and let it run, then do your kernal?
No, nightly was refering to Cyanogenmod Roms that are in RC status right now.
What I have found is there are a handful of people that are having issues with wifi. I do not know it is a AP issue, or a driver issue in the ROM. I have had no issues whatsoever, so it makes it extremely difficult for me to troubleshoot.
Some of you may get redirected to my Thread over on the cyanogenmod forums, but understand, most of what is talked about there only applies to CM Roms. The CM team has made extensive changes to the framework, wpa supplicant, services, and init scripts that make the over usage and troubleshooting different.
So what I really need from you would be a logcat, and a dmesg output. either in plain text, or use pastebin.com to link to it.

so i been testing the slayher kernels for a couple days and i guess its no good for me. it drains my battery fast. not super fast but it definitely drains noticably faster than chevy's ULV kernels. sucks because i really wanted to use the interactive governor. sounds pretty good. it might be because the slayher kernels are LV and not ULV. i'll try it again if there's ever going to be a ULV version.
If you can get chevys ULV values I will see how mine compare.
Answer me 2 questions though.
1. Do you have profiles setup?
2. How heavy is your use of the phone during a day
Thank you
Oh and BTW, I have all the other governors in the kernel too. Feel free to try those out and see how battery life is too.

1. yes i have profiles set up. but i don't use them. i don't use them either with chevy's kernels.
2. i'm home this whole week so i've been testing. yesterday i had the slayher 1.2ghz kernel installed. didn't use phone much, if at all. i just unplugged it from charger in the morning and pretty much left it there all day. messed with it randomly throughout the day a little bit, nothing intensive. this was about 11am. by 5pm, it was down to 60%. i changed it back to chevy's ULV 1.2ghz kernel last night, did the same thing today, and by 5pm, it was 80%.
i've only tried interactive governor on the slayher though, not ondemand. i'll try it again tomorrow with the ondemand governor and see what happens.
Thank you for all the info. Thats exactly what I was looking for. If you feel like playing with it, under the advanced tab in setcpu, is the sampling rate, higher number = higher performance and less battery life, lower should improve battery. 50000us is the default, I wouldnt go lower than 20000. Again you dont have to, but it you want to play/test go ahead

cool thanks! i will give that a try.
Sorry for the noob question, but I just recently installed the Liquid Frozen Yogurt Rom with the slayher 1000LV kernel. My question is, in order to run the profiles you guys keep referring to and to access the governer settings, do I need to have setcpu? Or is there a menu option I am missing.
Otherwise I must say that the kernel has been running very smooth, wifi tethering is excellent, browser speeds and application load times are phenomenal. I plan on trying the higher speeds once I see how it performs at this level.

Slayher - Whats the difference in interactive mode and on demand... i have a few profiles enabled. batt low, temp, screen off, and overall charging/full.
i switched to interactive and noticed the min sampling rate is the only adjustable setting..and it is at default 50000us, not 30000us like when im in ondemand.
what difference should this result in?

ondemand samples CPU load, then scales up speed as needed.
Interactive, scales to max speed, then samples load, then scales speed as needed for demand.
The min sampling rate, tells the cpu how long to stay at max until it scales down.
Higher the number, the higher the performance, and higher battery drain.
the lower the number the better battery life, but may the rom may not be as responsive.

Instructions for flashing kernels were added to the OP. Thanks OMJ for the suggestion and the information, properly tagged, from the rooting guide.

been on Chevy's LV 1.1 ghz as it is always solid. It is my goto kernel.
no single 1.2 would ever work for me.. Chevy, P3, Slahyer, etc.. to hot, crashes, reboot loops, etc
BUT I am currently trying JDLFG's 32.24 1200 w/ 1501 Quadrant score... so far so good
so, I might have found a 1.2 that can work maybe, I will report back
EDIT: thus far, the only stable 1.2 I have ever used/tried. hit a 1556 Quadrant with it.. battery life seems to have taken no hit.

Interesting, I had the exact opposite effect. I unplugged at 5:30AM and after light usage (few calls, checking email and a bit of web browsing) I was still at 90% at 3:30PM. I figured the battery meter was not working right so I pulled up google earth for a bit and got it to drop to 80% . Woke up the next day and it was still at 70%. I have my profiles set up for interactive and find it much smoother than on demand and much faster. No jerkieness to start. I took it off the charger this morning and the battery temp was 72 degress. I have never noticed it that low.
My quadrant benchmark using it without shutting any apps down and running 1000/400 interactive was 1488 for a 1000lv. Pretty impressive by my standards. For my phone the best kernel I have tried. I will not tamper with this set up. Thanks Slayher!

Thats outstanding(burgundy voice). Your are running moto droid1 right? I'd kill(not really tho) to have my batt at 90-80% by the time i geto off work. Im off the charger at 730am. I had the 1250slayer runnin this morning and after a call and very little usage. i was at 90% by 9:30.

Just for curios sakes, if someone wanted to revert to the original kernel, how would you do it? I have search but came up empty.
I've never flashed a custom kernel or ROM, but wouldn't you just restore a Nandroid backup. Or would this not revert the Kernel?
I want to know this for sure! Before I flash custom stuff. Also, can I try a custom Kernel before trying a custom ROM?
