[Q] Standard CM6 Kernel vs. Snap v. 7.6?

---

I'm currently running CM6 with the standard kernel that comes with it. I'm not really looking to overclock as that drains the battery life faster and that's my main issue. My question is...with all the recent releases such as the HAVs enabled HTC kernel and those sort of updates, does Snap v. 7.6 offer any real battery life advantages?

Also, I almost installed it once, but I decided not to when it gave me the THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE SUDDEN DEATH TO EVOS warning. Are my fears here unfounded?

I use the Snap kernel with no problems ever, but I haven't seen any battery benefits. Just my experience.

Supposedly snap 7.5 offers the lowest idle energy draw out of all the kernals - sense or not. I use it and get great battery life.

I'm using the snap 7.6 with Turbo and definitely prefer it. Things feel smoother to me. I'm not sure about battery life as I just switched back to cyanogen again after a whole of not using it.

Don't worry about that message.. its just a disclaimer like people put on their roms that they aren't responsible any damage. In the snap thread the maker said there haven't been any major problems reported.

Snap 7.6 with turbo enabled is extremely fast, the .34 kernal is as well, so you will not find too many differences in terms of real performance... not sure of the battery differences tho. btw, this should probably not be in the dev section, more suitable for the q&a section.

Thank you! That's great information. Is this the one listed in the "daily driver" section of the first post in the Snap thread? Do you think Snap v 7.6 w/ Turbo will have alright battery life?

Alright Imma bite the bullet and try this. Thanks for telling me that's not a big issue. I'm in the process of reading the snap thread, but I'll never get through all 500 pages.

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. I thought I posted this in the Q&A >_< I'm so bad at this forum thing.

i use 7.6 + turbo and it rocks

Currently backing everything up and probably going to flash Snap v. 7.6 with Turbo and see how that runs. If I don't get the battery life I'm hoping for, I'll probably try 7.5. Thank you all for replying so quickly. ^_^

I have build 107 installed and snap 7.6 with turbo I've gotten with about 30 emails a day and a good amount of web browsing and flash usage over 35 hours. I think personally that's great!
