If you can, average the battery life between a week (1 week on Badass and 1 week on SmartAss V2) to get a closer approximation on which governors work for you. Everyone's phone usage is different, so what works for me might not work for you.

When I find myself in a generally good service area for the day, I'll post up my screenshots. My commute, school, and everything are all in a deadzone and I usually leave here around 6am, back at 5pm, with 5hrs of on screen time (BetterBatteryStats!!! Use it!). The average battery level left is roughly 35-45% after those 5hrs. So like I said, this is definitely working for me. The stock ROM and kernel would have killed the battery by 2-3pm since I don't have service (I turn off 4G most of the day. Wifi is on though on the world's slowest internet connection. :P).

Happy Tweaking!

Thanks man, yes I will do that, I will sit a week with SmartassV2 and then switch to badass. I will post some screens here of my SmartassV2 setup, seems to be ok. I still may underclock my CPU to 1.2ghz or so see if that gives me some extra hours :)

I love reeds scripts, so many configs to choose from it gives a lot of open choices.

Thanks for the help ! :)

Normally happen after a reboot if you have several mod and tweask for cymbaline and stuff or try using the phone Right after it boots best to let to let it settle for awhile
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Just want to post that there is still the odd SYSTEM UI ERROR (screenshot posted) I am not sure if anyone else is having that issue the odd time.... phone will freeze, go black screen, then come back with that error.... system tray disappears for a few seconds then comes back and phone works fine again. Just thought I'd bounce off a few of you to check. Other then that ROM is great, still messing with things to get better battery life, but I do believe LTE eats a bit more on battery then HSPA (being I just got LTE)

Launcher I am using is Apex Pro, and still having they system UI error (as I got before thinking it was the SGS3 Launcher) I can manage with it, just throwing the info out there. Can't wait till we get some JB action going on in the future. By far the best ROM for the I727/I727R

Thanks all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kuroihoshi:
u can try doing a full wipe and reinstalling the rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Yes, that is always how I install all my roms.... I do full wipes always and then proceed with op instructions. I install everything from scratch without and TiBu backup restore... I do it the long way to avoid any conflicts.

It does not happen too much just wanted to post the issue in case anyone has seen it. Perhaps it just happens on I727R (rogers model)

What we will have in Embryo 5.5? It's exciting to know, not a push. I'm on Embryo for 6 months now and still no plan to change. Just would like to know what are in the next meal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Nothing planned yet, need to finish the governors in ROMCustomizer. I am waiting to see if we get a leak for JB from Sammy (via designgears of course) then will do. I might take a crack at dynamically changing the theming some more kernel features..

On a side note: If folks are using "init" scripts like the ReedX50v scripts (he appears to have disappeared), please make sure in ROMCustomizer/Performance "Set on boot" checkbox is DISABLED.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] greenteg:
Thanks Mohan, that's something I forgot to mention in my last few posts. It does default to DISABLED, which is nice.

**Make sure you don't use an app to govern your cpu/voltage if you are using the scripts. It's slower and will interfere, likely disabling them.**

Can I install this rom on Hercules? This looks like an awesome ICS rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r3a1ist:
Been on this rom for over six months coming from sky ics. Super stable. If u look at other roms they are talking about losing wireless connectivity while this one discusses tweaking the kernel. Its nice when I ramp it up to 1.78 Max and smoke my brothers non rooted s3 head to head any benchmark he chooses.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Yes, this is by far the most stable, most customizable, and smoothest ics Rom out there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
Do you want a cookie benchmarks are worthless. Part of me wants to doubt you're "smoking" any s3 it may score higher but I'm doubting it's significant.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JHK1984:
lol here's an unhappy S3 owner
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r3a1ist:
I'll post screenshots. U practically have the same processor. I returned an s3 for this phone cuz the specs were the same but I wanted capacitive buttons. Not some apple like physical crap I need to push for no reason. All u have is a higher resolution on an inferior screen pentile and that's it. I would of had an s3 right now, returned it for a skyrocket. Go ahead post a legit s3 benchmark. U know its the same us variant qualcomm dual core chip set. You'll get smoked.

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

Now to be fair it does take more processing power to run a higher resolution decreasing benchmarks. But the us variant s3 is not a significant upgrade on the skyrocket in my opinion. Reppin super amoled plus.

Hey guys I have got problem with some of my games...the icons and the metres just go black....reflashed but the problem continues..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Hello all again,

I wanted to post what I am using for scripts and battery life. Right now my phone seems to be ok, but I have gotten better battery life on previous builds of embryo. I am now questioning if perhaps my battery needs to be re-calibrate with the 'battery calibration app' The only thing about that app is as far as I know there may or may not be a proper way to re-calibrate the battery. If anyone has information on that and would like to post back that would be great.

Battery Calibration : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ration&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Below I am going to post what scripts I am running as well as screen shots for a further visualization.

Thank you kindly

SCRIPTS:

02_CPU_Frequencies = CWM_Cym_CPU_192-1242MHz

03_CPU_Governors = CWM_Cym_GOV_Badass

05_IO_Schedulers = CWM_Cym_IOScheduler_SIO

06_Under-Volting = CWM_Cym_UnderVolt_Optimal

08_SD_Card_Speed_Tweak = CWM_Cym_SD_ReadAhead_2048KB

CWM_Cym_Compatibility_Patch
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Battery calibration is a joke. Try different governors and I/o.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
I will play around with IO , I think I am liking Badass Gov, I have used it and SmartAss V2 and have got better results with Badass.... As for the battery cal app, I think I am going to give it a try since this phone has had a few different ROM flashes on it. figure it can not hurt and from the reviews for this app seems like there is an improvement. Thank you for the response, maybe I will change my I.O around and see if that makes a difference. Anyone having good luck with a different config then mine ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
On demand

Deadline

384-1242

Optimal uv

Touch sense high

Uclf6 radio

All the apps I don't want are uninstalled

Some I use are blocked from internet access with a firewall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
I was thinking about running at 384, but then thought that would eat more battery life so I stuck to 192. As well figured running anything other then the stock 'on demand' would be better for battery life. I will try some of your configs to see if there is any difference

What is the average battery life you get on a change. I know it can very on usage (8h / 12h / 14h) ? Thanks for the reply

I have also been trying to track down what each script does.... I found thread with the definitions what each governor does, but I was curious to what each I.O means / does... thanks again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Battery life...

On Wi-Fi only, about 24-30 hours with about 6 hours screen on time.

On 4g or lte, 15-20 hours with between 3-5 hours screen on.

You wanna know what the I/o schedulers do?

It's how the processes are handled. They are explained in one of the threads.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
That is great results for you.... on my config I am getting approx 4-8 hours on HSPA, I am starting to try to think what the heck is going on... I use to get 14hours average which I was happy with.... the research and trial and error continues

Just noticed something odd. I took my battery down to 1% and turned off my phone, to let it charge while it was off.... and every time I connect the charger while the phone is SHUT DOWN .... it just makes it automatically boot up... Is that something with the ROM or some other issue. I use to be able to always shut down my phone , and let it charge when it was off... It would just show the big battery icon. Is this an issue I should be worried about being I am not getting proper battery life recently ? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r3a1ist:
Can't u do a "recalibration" by deleting battery stats in recovery and charging and emptying fully?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
The phone calibrates the battery every time you do a full charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Yes I did that as well noticing now the phone has taken over 4 hours to charge full.... on the 4th hour it is at 71 percent charge... after recalibration
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
That's taking way to long to charge. Something is wrong. Do you have another another battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
No that's a myth. All "wiping battery stats" does is delete the statistics shown to you in Settings > Battery Use. Secondly, the batteries in our phones do not need any sort of recalibration. They're smart enough to handle that on their own. Someone posted a link here a long time ago that explained. Just can't seem to find it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Yah something is clearly wrong here. I can not be sure if it is the charger or the phone. My phone has been on the wall charger since 12 midnight and I woke up at 10am today, and it is still charging only at 73% charge. Been charging for 10 hours and not at full charge. I use to be able to change it in 1 to 2 hours.

The process I was doing from a full 100% charge was discharging it fully, then charging it back up, but it seems to be stuck around in the 70% when charging

I am not sure why this has happened, perhaps it is new battery time for me ?

As well I can not power off the phone and change it, when i try to shut down with the phone charger connected the phone just reboots. If I power off the phone with the charger disconnected it shuts down, but as soon as I attach the charger , it just automatically boots up.... weird

I am going to let it charge to 100% now again, and discharge it fully. and use my laptop to charge the phone this time (from a complete discharge)... that will determine if it is the stupid charging cube is the issue here. I don't have my original SAMSUNG changing cube with with as I am on the road for work.

I am not sure if it is the newer kernel that is discharging the battery more then usual .... from 100% charge within 11 minutes at idle screen off, I am at 96% -- the life of android lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
^^

Well you bring up another debate with that info. Whether or not you should ever let your battery get below ~10%. Some people say that by repeatedly letting it drain to ~0%, you're reducing its overall lifetime. I tend to agree with that after some of the most descriptive posts I've read over time. But others say they've always done it and have never noticed a problem. So I'm obviously not saying that's the cause. Just pointing it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Thanks man, good to have that info, I will deff keep it in mind... the batt seems to be doing a bit better as I have been monitoring it today.. I am at 80% with approx 3h30min usage... better then how last night was going... I am going to do a few discharges and recharges just to keep it in check and see how it is maintaining. I think perhaps my battery not being used in the phone for 4 weeks while i was getting the power button issue resolved might have had something to do with it. Hope I can getter back to normal. Thanks for all the posts and comments :)

Issues

I did some searching but didn't bother reading all of the pages earlier, I just wanted to post a few issues I've been having.

1. The ROM seems to clear all of the default options after a while. The phone typically locks up and then they'll be cleared when I click on a link in an e-mail.

2. Occasionally, when I click the quick link to enable wifi, it will hang and won't enable. The wifi icon will be lit up, but the line under it will be faded. When going into the wifi settings, it will say turning wifi on and will stay like that. I left it for 10 minutes once and nothing. I try turning it off and nothing. The only ways I could get it to turn off would be to use a widget to kill all connections and then turn on and off airplane mode and my data connection. A reboot doesn't always fix it, but it does sometimes.

3. Sometimes the ROM will lockup. no errors or any apps stop working, it just locks up and then clears itself and then you can use it again. Most of the time it is when i'm exiting an app, so it goes back to the home screen after the hang, not sure if this is related to number 1 or not.

I was running 5.4. I switched to a JB ROM, so I won't be able to try any possible fixes, but I thought I would at least report the issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] greenteg:
I'm working on a few new configurations for battery savings (governor, clock speed, and scheduler) and will post the results once I have them. I want a phone to be as or more responsive than stock with noticeably better battery life. My buddy was able to get his HTC One X (completely stock and unrooted) to last the entire weekend and it's baffling me.

Which Sleep Wake has everyone found to work well for battery life? StockSlp_OptiAwk? ConsSlp_OptiAwk?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tweakecho:
Did you get it to charge up to 100%? I remember seeing this topic in the Q&A i think or possibly another dev's thread, but i seem to remember it being a bad battery as it happend to his wife's Stock Phone would not charge passed 75% so he put it in his phone to the same problem.

Hope this helps out, besides another battery is a good thing right :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Thank you, yeah I have done a solid 3 discharges and full 100% charges now (as well used battery calibration) my battery seems to be back to normal now... getting approx 12-14 hours on it which is fine and acceptable. That is about the best I have seen on a TW rom. When I was running CM before I would get 24-30 hours of battery, but that is CM for you. I didn't stick with CM because there are a few issues I don't like about it. One mainly is the SMS issue most CM builds have. I will keep testing using my current govs etc.

ROM seems well. few minor freezing issues, system UI issues. I do have logcat, but when the issue occur I am not sure how I can record that specific one. I will keep looking and hope I am able to post some logs to the dev. As it stands I love embryo been using it for long time now. Looking forward to what is next. We will get JB I am sure sometime in the future, but no rush. I will follow up some more when I can. Thanks for the help and assistance everyone as usual, much appreciated !

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bacheezy:
Charging issue happened to me a couple times, switching chargers worked for me. Once fully charged, any charger works again. The only charger that initiates the limited charge issue is the 'green' charger from at&t that stops charging when it detects a full charge. Maybe its getting false info that the battery is charged and stops charging.

Mohan, is there a directory I could find your keyboard in? I've been looking everywhere so I can install it on my other ROMs that I flash to occasionally.

The reason I really like yours is the larger "correction area" above the keyboard as well as "space" giving the option of periods, commas, exclamation points, etc.

Or maybe under the settings of this keyboard I can find the "end sentence" keys added to that correction area.

Everything g is working perfectly for me except the TW launcher however this issue was also present in 4.x. I learned how to live with it and fact can tell you guys that you must be doing something wrong. I am a down this list and everyone who is having issues are coming from different ROMS or are fairly new. I followed directions and also formatted my internal SD. I backed up important stuff to my computer. Gl and cheers. :)

PS: I am having good battery life so far. One more thing. I really enjoyed the browser named Browser on 4.x where can I get that?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ganja_guru:
Day 1 with this rom has not been too good. Coming from magickwizz, flashed following the exact instructions posted. Initially had multiple lockups and fc's. So I installed busybox, fixed permissions (cwm,sk8's and rom manager) and things seem slightly better now. Battery life is about half of majickwizz, but perhaps this will improve on day two as the ROM settles.

On the plus side, data speeds on speedtest for LTE are twice as much as majickwizz, but I was testing at different times of the day so that could be the reason.

Will keep testing and post back. Can't wait for battery fixes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steviemac12:
Maybe a bad flash... I came from MajickWizz as well, and I have to say Embryo installed smooth and have had no fc's, or any other types of problems. Nice install, ROM is smooth and peppy. I did however do a little more debloating by removing apps I do not use.

So far battery life seems about normal, though a few cycles will serve to improve that. 3 or 4 days will usually sort out the kinks.

Stick with it, it is an amazing ROM... if fc's persist, as pissy as it sounds, try re-wiping and reflash.

Hope this helps

"Rock on"

Good to see you've done your homework first.

As an alternative, I prefer Jrummy's Rom toolbox.apk fix permissions script also the one that comes with V6-supercharger but even it was inspired by Jrummy's

Edit

Fix permissions script of any kind should not be needed ever with a clean install of Embryo if you do experience Fc's after a clean install your install was not infact clean check your Download and md5's and start over.
