runs smoothless... but only think I can apparently see is that... when I compare this kernel with the ones which can UV, the CPU temperatures rises above 70 degrees celsius... for example after 10 minutes Tango call... mine was 72...

I hope this will not damage the CPU someday...

with the UV capable kernels... max was like 62-63, during normal usage 55, and during standby 38-40....

But when I compare in terms of benchmarks... my HoX's quadrant score was around 4800 but with R8 it is around 5400...
[HTC One X] hutzdani:
I have very little heat problems on r7/8, it gets hot sometimes when downloading apps over wifi, other than that its fine.

I use SetCPU when using music apps and while on charge to set lower clock speeds when doing tasks i regularly use that are not cpu intensive.
[HTC One X] franciscofranco:
Well for me its noticeably improved, performance and battery wise. Also helped when I installed MIUI, much better than bloated-sense. But out of the box kernel works great, you can read the thread and see how good feedback I've been getting. The amount of cleanup I did on the tree also helped with the performance and stabiity, you have no idea how ****ed up it was from stock up.
[HTC One X] Annihlist:
I seriously had the same thing with r8. I thought it was because my mate was playing with my phone. The phone was in aeroplane mode and the flashlight couldn't turn off without switching phone off. It happened yesterday.

Great kernel btw just thought I'd share this also.

I thank you very much FRANCO for developing for this phone. One quick question. I used ur kernel on the GNEX. and what is your main phone? What is your main focus too...like which phone are you more leaning towards. The note? The GNEX? or ous ONE X :DDDD
[HTC One X] Dreadsteel:
Noob question here...

What is the purpose of repacking ? what does it even do?

What's wrong with just flashing boot.img then modules like the instruction on the OP

I'm on cm9 and i keep seeing ppl say to repack it.

Thanks for answering.

Hey Franco, I hope you will eventually focus your attention on the Galaxy S3, it needs you!!!! :D
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
Sweep2Wake is one more thing to drain your battery :p
[HTC One X] treebill:
The CPU gets throttled at 85c and 90c is its tjmax/cutout. You could run the CPU at 89 c for the 2 years warranty and it would be fine.

No need to worry about the CPU I would worry more about battery temp :)
[HTC One X] mwilky:
No it's not!

Shouldn't be talking about it in this thread but on any kernel when you touch the screen it will kind of "wake" the phone from deep sleep, so it doesn't drain it any more than any others when you touch the screen

Running arhd 6 and r8 no issues here will report back with battery stats.

My max screen on time has been 3.5 hours
[HTC One X] williamyi:
Guys, wanna ask, is there any issue with SetCPU or Conservative governor with r8?

Using it on Charmander 4.1.0 is smooth, when I try to use SetCPU to set the profile and setting the governor to Conservative during screen off, whenever I hit the power button to lock the screen, the phone will reboot. After change the governor back to ondemand for screen off then problems gone

So I'm wondering is the conservative governor giving issue or the SetCPU faulty?

franco r8 on as fresh install of LeeDroid 6.4.0 not repacked from the first boot on.

Works so far without any problems.

Thanks for your work...I did follow most kernel Topics for a while. Yours seems to be the most stable.

Battery Runtime was great with r6 under ARHD, much better than stock.

Also much faster than stock.

My conclusion after almost two days of use and two full charging cycles is: everything runs buttery smooth and without any issues. But.....if you REALLY USE the device it drains like hell!

Some phonecalls,emails,fb,whatsapp,30 min using the calculator,tracking a run with gps and music....down to 50%!

That's what I call massive drain!

On Charmandar 4.1.0

[HTC One X] hutzdani:
I'll tell you why it really ate your battery when you REALLY USE the phone.

1. GPS eats battery normally

2. if your tracking a run its asking for your location and your not really moving much in those times so its polling back what is mostly inaccurate and usless info.

3. if your pulling the maps down from Gmaps to find your location your also pulling down data on that which eats battery.

4. turn all your sync's off and set them to manual so that the data is on request.

Also it will help to tune back the CPU when running mundane tasks like music / phone / browsing.

1ghz is plenty for web browsing and using the youtube app and things like music and phone can be done at 300hmz.
[HTC One X] osoelpeligroso:
Usually I also get around 19h with 3,5h screen on time, with only calls, emails,fb, whatsapp, internet. But if you start using music and gps, ebooks, camera and uploads, then the insane drain starts!

Forgot to mention Skype............
[HTC One X] raubkatze:
I'm using music, ebooks, camera and uploads ofc... Also I have all sync services is on. Just GPS usually turned off.

[HTC One X] distortedloop:
I have the same experience with r8 on AHRD 6.0. Since installing r8 the ther day I am at the 10% warning with less than 90 minutes of screen on time, nothing special going on that should tax the phone. emails, web browsing, tapatalk, twitter, etc. (No GPS use for me, my HOX has the worst GPS I've ever seen on any device.)

On a .5 amp charger last night, I kept getting the message about the phone drawing more power than the charge could supply. Even after a reboot, the phone went from 9% to 4% charge sitting unused while on the charger! I finally just turned it off so I wouldn't get into a 0% issue.

Better Battery didn't reveal anything too interesting, but "baseband-xmn-power" was at the top of the list of kernel wakelocks.

Haven't turned the phone on yet, today. Trying to decide how best to proceed from here.

---------- Post added at 06:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 AM ----------

Shouldn't the phone intelligently pick the lowest CPU on its own? Ridiculous to think that I have to be constantly tuning the SetCPU settings. You're kidding, right?

The rest of your tips basically boil down to "if you want to save battery, don't use your phone for anything but a paperweight."

Franco's kernel is wonderful on my Galaxy Nexus; i haven't had much luck with it on my HOX (only tried r3 an r8). I can certainly go for a 30 minute jog running GPS, listening to music on the Nexus without insane battery drain.

Don't be so quick to dismiss the concerns of others...clearly at least a few of us are having some issues beyond the standard noob don't-understand-battery types.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
i just tried on ARHD i dont have this

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

but ive been testing it im not finding much different drain or heat than stock
[HTC One X] geenyous:
Really?

I get constantly more heat than stock, especially when gaming.

But on the other side, I never had any performance issue when gaming so far, unlike you deskribe with S4e2...

But I also feel that the drain is very heavy, was playing around with some cam apps this morning and was down to 16 from a full 100% after roughly 5 hours with 2 hours screen on time (most of it filming and taking pics) and a 15min call...
[HTC One X] hutzdani:
Its all true but its a multi purpose device, if you want to use a gps tracker for jogging go and buy one after all its a phone, but yeah I see your point, I can't speak for your rom I have no battery issues since r6 on Jdr0id rom's.

I use my phone medium to high usage using it a bit for sat nav and quite a bit for forum browsing / facebook and about 3 hours of music a day and i can get a solid 16 hours from it before i hit below 20%
[HTC One X] Basil3:
Some of these points are interesting. I can't comment specifically on Franco's r8 kernel as I haven't had a run in a while, but I've found the HOX to be really good when tracking runs. I can do an hour run, tracking with Endomondo and listening to Google music with only 10-15% drain.
[HTC One X] airchie:
Woah, I'm on track to get 12h out of a 100% charge. I'm at 40% after 7h15m with only 1h40m screen time. Not used it much at all today and it seems to be dying too quick and I use JDroid v4 with Franco r8 same as you...

I remember reading about someone reflashing to stock in order to get the latest OTA from HTC to update some part of the phone that we currently can't do with S-On. You think it might be worth me doing that?
[HTC One X] :
+1 but this kernel is a lot faster than stock, especially for gaming.
[HTC One X] fictionworld:
hello,

anyone else experienced, when your battery completely runs out then you charge and open your phone, all of the apps fc?
[HTC One X] rotemkk:
for me the battery in r7 is much better then r8 :(.

thx for the best kernel for HOX the beer is on the way!!
[HTC One X] distortedloop:
On track for another horrible battery life day. 46%	left after just a couple of hours, only 47 minutes screen time so far.

Gonna have to try another kernel to make sure it's actually R8 giving me problems or something else.
[HTC One X] osoelpeligroso:
+1

Yesterday after the first charge everything was fine with batterylife, had around 19h with 3,5 h screen on. Today in the morning in 5h down to 50%. Another charge and again down to 46% after 5h with almost no use.

Very strange!

Now back to stock kernel to check if it was r8 or one of my lately updated apps(5 this morning, one of them fb, which is not getting good feedback)was draining my battery.:confused:
[HTC One X] franciscofranco:
Then if you know its FB app draining your battery why are you going back to stock kernel? Makes no sense to me.

Anyway expect r9 later today.
[HTC One X] JDR0iD:
Mate this kernel is the best for my exodized rom bit for some reason battery drain is 1% every minute.

Can you have a look for me?
[HTC One X] rotemkk:
Its not fb. Was the same for me and when got back to r7 the battery was ok once again
[HTC One X] osoelpeligroso:
I don't know it,but can't explain the insane drain I had today,after a good day of batterylife yesterday. So it's just for testing purposes as I have never run my actual ROM with the stock kernel....

Don't worry I'll be back :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] hutzdani:
That's strange lee, I have great battery life on r8 and r7.

You must have lots of back ground syncing going on or something I have no battery drain issues
[HTC One X] JDR0iD:
The only sync I have is Google email . Its horrendous . I don't understand why
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
this kernel is the best,

i have on r8 a little more battery drain than the normal...
[HTC One X] distortedloop:
Glad to see someone so well respected coming in with the same issue. Gives us lesser minions some credibility in our observations.

I can't flash new boot image until later today, but I used Franco app to disable two CPUs, and max clock speed of 1000. At least I'm able to get some juice flowing into the battery while in the charger this way. Another thing I noticed is that frequently the min and max are at 1500 in the app, even if I've changed them. Odd.
[HTC One X] danlat1415:
I have excellent battery life until I do anything with WiFi on.

It drains 1% every couple of minutes with WiFi on.

No I don't have the WiFi performance ticked in settings.

Not sure whether its kernal related or an issue with the HOX in general.

Anyone else have this?
[HTC One X] Forsaked:
I have always Wifi on when im @home and after 12Hours without charing in idle mode i still have 87% Battery.

So i wondering why your Battery drains that much, my Wifi is set to always on and best performance and i have no issues even with background sync!
[HTC One X] JDR0iD:
I want the best for my rom users so nothing wrong with asking the expert :)
[HTC One X] damanrico:
My wifi is fine as well, but what most people don't realise is that the wifi router has an impact on your battery life. It differs from router to router how fast the phone drains.

An example is the D-Link DIR-655 router. I used to own that one, and my phone would drain about 5 times as fast than using other routers (9mA idle against 50-55mA idle, on my nexus one running android 2.2).

If you google for DIR-655 + Android you will find lots of topics with users experiencing heavy drain using their DIR-655 router, but not using other routers. It doesn't matter which phone they used either. It's just the combination of that router and Android.

So you can't always blame a ROM/Kernel or even your phone, it could be the router.

Only due to testing different routers (when at friend's place, or maybe you have another router you can try) you can find out if in fact the router is the problem (or google and see if more people notice the same thing).

[HTC One X] zeroburn:
I have this problem with the app on the HTC One X, give it about 5 minutes and the min changes from your selected setting to 1500. Kind of annoying on a an app I paid for, I can't tell if it's the app reporting incorrectly or the phone is reverting back to 1500.

drain when listening to music

It appears that you fixed the massive battery drain when listening to music!

I was listening to music for 1 hour straight and it drained about 6%, was also texting a few secs while the music was playing as well as changing some tracks, so not bad I would say. It still showed mediaserver as the main drainer, before PowerAmp, but I read on the PowerAmp board that this was normal, as mediaserver controls the audio out.

CPU spy showed mainly 340 and less as being used during that time, with one short 56 sec jump to 1400. The exact values where:

1400 3%

475 7%

340 29%

204 32%

102 18%

Deep sleep 7%

I guess all below 475 is the cc?

Case closed I would say ;)

Thanks!

I already explained a thousand times thats not our fault, thats how Tegra3 behaves...

Anyway r9's taking a little more time because I went to re-rewrite some functions of tegra cpu frequency routines. Some didnt make sense so I took care of it. Hope it improves general device usage.

r9 is out:

* Revert back to stock Ondemand because I wanted to enable Two-phase algorithm that will possibly increase battery life (thats the goal for the algorithm)

* Decreased Ondemand up_threshold from 95% to 90%

Hi Franco

Thanks for all your efforts. I have flashed your kernels (r6 and r5) previously and did not notice any change in performance from stock kernel, maybe i am doing something wrong !!!!!!!

I have flashed the kernel exactly as per your instructions, and i am on stock RUU 1.29.401.11

Most people have reported that the system is faster and more fluid, but they are all on custom ROMs

can you give me a hint of what i might be doing wrong, thanks...........
[HTC One X] mikep1993:
If you have flashed the boot.img and the modules the kernel is flashed correct for sure. Have you also erased the cache like described? Try two reboots. But normally there should be a small or huge speed-improvement. It is always relative to the eyes of the user...

Some users see a huge improvements, some only small improvements. I would say use the kernel for a few days and try if it's stable and if the battery life is ok. If you feel that it's ok for you stay with it.
