Why you would use a customized kernel on your Android Device

People ask all the time why would you root your device. One reason you would root would be to control the kernel on your #Android device. Kernels allow you to:

• Control clock speeds - allows faster performance by overclocking
• Voltage - allows you to limit the amount of voltage your clock speed can utilize
• CPU Governors - allows you to set certain profiles to on the fly clock your cpu up and down as needed.
• Task Schedulers - allows you to control on processes that your apps use in the background and the foreground.

With control over these items allow you to increase your performance and get better battery life that what your phone comes with. Kernels can do much more, but this is just the basics.

I just started using Franco Kernel Updater ( +Francisco Franco ) which allows you to customize these settings and more in the app.

Trinity Kernel Toolbox is another popular kernel that I have heard good things from.
