[Galaxy S II General] Neo3000:
Happy New Year first to all.:)

Now what i would like to do with this thread is create a place were people can discuss about battery life and post screenshots of their battery life. Also talk about what settings you are using and what is your overall experience and what is the best screen on time you had so far.

What i like people to talk about is what kernel they use, what governor, if you are using a scheduler and if you are using any scripts to improve performance or smoothness when scrolling through screens. Also if people can provide there tricks and tips on how they get the best out of their battery might be beneficial for new users who just got their handset and looking for ways on how to get that extra juice from their battery

Over the last week i have been using Siyah kernel and i have to admit in the beginning i thought not much of the kernel. But after reading and learning regarding the Thunderbolt scripts (by Pikachu) and also that i could use the lulzactive app(by Tegrak) i was blown away by the smoothness and performance. Now if you are using scripts the app is not needed as far as i know(please someone correct me if i am wrong) but either how being able to use different apps or scripts to improve my phone even more it has left me speechless.

My average screen on time is about 4hrs and 30 minutes. That is over the duration of one day and a half. Before i used to use Savaged Zen governor and use to UnderVolt quite alot. But now after turning to Siyah kernel and trying out the lulzactive governor i am also again amazed by the battery performance.

Now different governors and different schedulers are dependent on what use you need them for. That i will not go into as there are other threads that explain all that in more detail. Please see here for more information:[REF][&Tweaks] Kernel Governors, Modules, I/O Schedulers & CPU Tweaks: Siyah & Others

My idea behind this thread is to keep in one place everything. Regarding settings, what scripts you use, what app you guys prefer either if it is Voltage Control, No Frills or SetCpu or if you recommend any other ones and what scripts are best to use if you do not like to use an app to control all your frequencies. What kernel you guys prefer and which one gives you best performance, or best battery life or even which one you guys has the best of both worlds. That is my aim for this thread..

Not to have wars in which one is best or not. Just a discussion on how people can improve or learn even on how to use scripts or how to get the most out of their battery and improve performance as well. Yes again i will say there are loads of threads but if you have one were each member can provide their experience someone might benefit from all this.

And as a pointer yes i know let's say my settings that i use might not work for someone else. But if we can give pointers and examples to others on how to start and they can use my one as a template say on how to improve their ones then why not i say.

Anyway guys i know for some they might not like this thread and for some they might say it is not worth the hassle. But if you can give ideas on how to improve the thread and please first see my idea and logic were i want to go with this then please feel free to input and give me your opinions in improving it.

Thank you to all and have a very Happy New Year.

Credits to all the devs and specially the creators of all the kernels out there who make my phone into the beast it is now. Respect to all XDA members and this is one community worth being a member off.
