Those outstanding numbers were with setcpu not installed. Something has changed between3 and 6 to break setcpu i think. I used conservative governor and got the worst battery life of any kernel. uninstalled and using oc widget now and back to having real good battery life. But setcpu worked good in ver3 for underclocling using conservative governor, thats when this kernel started getting real popular, great battery, outstanding even. oc widget doesnt let you use profiles it doesnt look like, still new to it. But i'm actually scoring a little better on benchmarks. first 55fps avg i've ever scored, although OC has nothing to do with that. Almost 1500 quadrant. 44 linpack. Watching cpu scaling in various apps, it appears to be scaling good. max 1114. Bottom line is its my new favorite 24/7 kernel if not using setcpu, and i can learn not to use it for now. A little more massaging, maybe some wireless N, 1228mhz, maybe an experimintel UV edition, and setcpu friendly, this will be one hell of a klick ass kernel! thanks Kingklick!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] pongoface:
I am having no problems with setcpu did both with and without. Setcpu is showing less drain on system panel. When i use setcpu i go to advanced tab and mark set at boot at keep scaling at 5. Running v6 on nova 003. Showing literally no cpu usage on screen off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] funcrusher:
Battery life is looking pretty good on 6 so far.

No SetCpu. Haven't went through a full cycle, but so far it looks like it could be the best battery life I've experienced on 2.2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
I dont know what is is then pongo, it seems that everybody that has horrible battery is using setcpu. And when they uninstall it it gets good again../shrug

and the same settings worked great with kern3 & setcpu. What version set are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkinnison90:
Uninstalled and installed overclock widget... let's see if anything changes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dangerruss:
wow some of you guys are getting awesome scores on quadrant with this kernal. I'm running v 6 and not getting near those scores. Best so far was 1300. But battery has been outstanding. Unplugged at 6:30 am and its 7:19 pm noe and still have 40 percent with normal use. Usually I would have to have it plugged in by six. Set cpu is set at max oc. Still think there is room for improvement though. But great job so far. Making this my new daily kernal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
problem is, it isnt on my end its on set cpu's

as for the other requests, I can do that :)

tomorrow I will work on raising the OC and lowering UV levels :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:
Do you run Quadrant just once, or do you run it repeatedly? Running repeatedly will get better scores as the kernel starts to push the cpu...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkinnison90:
So, overclock widget is seeming to get just as much of a drain for me..

I swear kernel 5 got better battery life for me and it definitely didn't scale as well as 6.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blueorder:
Are you guys doing anything special after installing?

I just installed the kernel and that's it. Battery consumption is not, right now, any better than my original Fresh install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
Verified on the 5 run Quadrant scored 1433

On a side note I have uninstalled SetCPU and did not install any OC utilities.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
King, I know nothing I'd compiling ,if its to much of a pain in the rear then I understand but couldn't you have a 7a and 7b with different Speeds so we don't need set or oc widget?
[EVO 4G Android Development] flexgrip:
Same for me. I was actually getting much better battery life out of calkulins (or however you spell it's) EViO 1.1 Rom.

I just flashed this over the top of it, so maybe something is not working right. But according to juiceplotter I am getting half of the battery life per hour than I was getting with EViO 1.1. Which uses netarchy 4.0.2

Setcpu was still installed and the only difference was it wouldn't let me OC. The scaling seemed pretty violent. Maybe I should uninstall setcpu or something? I will give v6 a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] skydeaner:
Make me a version that overclocks to 1.3ghz please. I'll send 5 bucks your way lol. Sorry it's all i have. My phone has been at 1.3ghz before and didn't give me any ****... one of netarchy's previous 1.5kernals. I dont recall the voltage he was using, just do whatever you think is appropriate. If you want to pm it to me you can that way retarded folk don't download it and expect their phone to hit 1.3 fine, as i belive mine is about 1 in 100 that can hit it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jsimon9633:
On overclock widget can you choose the governor type? I am not seeing that option only speed

I want to set it to powersave on screen off
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkinnison90:
Nope... only can set the frequencies.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
So your saying set cpu works great on all other kernels but yours, and its set cpu's fault? Nothing changed between ver3 and ver6 with setcpu, and setcpu worked great then. Saying it's setcpu's fault really is not the intelligent answer lol. How can it be? That answer actually makes me wonder about you :( I just read the changelogs and nowhere in there do i see where setcpu is updated or changed to support a specific devs custom kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419 You were joking right? tell me you were joking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
can say after 12 hours of use that the cpu scales will and consistently. Battery life is good with setcpu profiles set. I will say though that its not as smooth as netarchys kernel...this will probably be fixed down the road. Overall great job, look forward to seeing how the kernel evolves!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
you can set the specific frequency for screen off. set it at what you want.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Success100:
wow, what a way to bite the hand that feeds you
[EVO 4G Android Development] twigs187:
I really wish wired tethering worked with this kernel.. Other than that, thanks for all of your hard work, Klick...
[EVO 4G Android Development] willy900wonka:
Screen off battery use just went flat ( version #6 ) . Over the last five hours my juiceplotter expected remaining battery time has increased by an hour, rather than being reduced by five.

I uninstalled setcpu and killed OC-widget. I can use OC-widget at boot, then I don't need it to display speed. At boot it overwrites the values supplied by kernel (probably in the init file), with it's user defined values. After that I'm not wasting cpu cycles for display or control, when it's already in the kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkinnison90:
From my experience and what I've seen posted, setCPU seems to not be playing well with 2.2..

A lot of kernels seem to be getting an unusual amount of drain.

That was a bit ago though, so it.may of been fixed. Disregard this if you want, but I've definitely seen it posted here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] funcrusher:
I have noticed a bit of lag, especially within stock sms and the lock screen. It seemed to be absent in version 3 & 5 (the only other versions i've tried).

Anyone else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
i switched from netarchy's 4.0.3a kernel to v6 and i definitely agree that the cpu isn't as snappy as net's was...but net's wasn't scaling correctly for me, while v6 is scaling well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
So you put it on the home screen, set for boot, kill it under apps menu? Great idea.
[EVO 4G Android Development] willy900wonka:
Mostly. I saved my set values in the advanced menu, including set for boot.

I killed it with Task Killer. Then I killed Task Killer with Task Killer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BAleR:
Set setcpu to ONDEMAND
[EVO 4G Android Development] flexgrip:
I did do that. And the cpu is mostly stuck at the max value I allow it. If I let it sit for 30 seconds it probably only spends 4-5 of those seconds at 245 (the lowest value)

The question I have is why did it not do that with other kernels. Not criticizing, just asking if that is what is to be expected with this kernel and if thats good for battery?

I noticed that when I set it to conservative, it mostly stays at the lower values, but gets a little laggy. That is exactly what it did with other kernels. I am sure battery would be great with conservative, but I could do with a little more responsiveness. Seems like ondemand might be why my batter is draining faster with this kernel. But I can try it with v6. I only flashed it a few minutes ago.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
For conservative, lower the value that it ramps up at under advanced settings. You'll lose a little battery, but it will ramp up quicker.

That being said, it seems pretty snappy to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
No, nothing changed with setcpu, but plenty changed with the kernel. v6 is the first version where overclocking works. This is also the only kernel available on the evo with havs. It stands to reason that there would be some bugs to iron out. As I see it, it's pretty amazing that King has managed to make this kernel work as well as it does without his own device to test it on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ceger:
Kingklick,

Doing a great job and you don't even have an Evo. Your work is much appreciated. Please continue and disregard the impolite people. Some people expect everything they want handed to them on a silver platter with utmost haste. If they want custom development they can pay true development prices at $150 plus an hour.

Ceger
[EVO 4G Android Development] lucidvtec:
cheers to King.....i need to make some donations soon...i hate paypal...grr
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
exactly. bugs to be worked out. but not on setcpu's end. on kings end. thats my point. why is everybody overlooking that? it's common sense. i guarantee that if this is a successful kernel in the future, it wont be because setcpu made him a new version. It will be because the kernel is done right.
[EVO 4G Android Development] funcrusher:
I don't think anyone has a problem with with you disagreeing, but with how you expressed it.

Jaknow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:
I think the mods need to peruse this thread. People bashing King need to back up and let the man develop in peace. He seems like a pretty smart dude and he's working as best he can without a physical Evo.

Also, Hero_Over made a kernel with HAVS so this isn't the only kernel with HAVS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkinnison90:
This kernel is really great though. It has its problems, but i'm sure they'll be fixed. this will still be my daily kernel for sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Adanedhels:
Great Job

Just wanted to put in a thanks!!

I'm loving this kernel it seems to be running well, not sure about battery life as I am a plugaholic and tend to plug in my phone whenever I can....

Keep up the awesome work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jsimon9633:
Loving the kernel 6 now

Did a wipe and reinstalled on fresh 3
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
+1 exactly why I donate as much as I can when I can. And I encourage the rest of you to do the same if capable.

Thanks again King
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tyzing:
I love how i've given more money to King then any other dev in a thread thats getting 3 out of 5 stars...am I the crazy one or is everyone else.....seems to me this is the best 48 hours in XDA since I've gotten my EVO....this has been huge IMO
[EVO 4G Android Development] doczhivago007:
Lovin the kernel so far. Have it installed over Baked Snack 1.3...seemingly getting better battery performance after I disabled setcpu.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tyzing:
I'm back to running V3 right now on Baked Snack. I'm thinking about flashing V6 tonight with only a main profile on conservative and one with screen off with a max of 245....then I'm wondering if I should just disable it all together.

Wish more stats were posted guys...come on give us data!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkcovers:
How about from this post forward, no more bickering.

Let's talk about the actual kernel.

Let's help some people having problems.

Let's see what kind of results we are all getting.

Let's suggest what needs to be added, not demand.

We don't need the mods to step in, how about we just do this on our own.

The Evo community is better than this, right guys?

:)

Alright, so back to business at hand.

7 hours of awake time

1 1/2 hours of uptime

Battery at 75%

SetCPU set to conservative 245min 998max.

Screen off profile 245min. 499max.

Fresh's latest rom.

I'll take that battery life.

Phone off consumes about 1%/hr of battery life.

I think the results could be better, but I run a ton of widgets.

8 to exact. Not sure how much they impact battery life, but I love using them. Haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkcovers:
I'm running V6, what kind of stats are you looking for specifically?

I can run some benchmarks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
Going to increase oc speed along with a few other things
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jsimon9633:
Nice! Can't wait to try it out!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkinnison90:
Awesom, even though I can't get my.phone past 1.15ghz haha :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Droga:
Ok, so I installed the v6 of this kernel this morning. Lets keep in mind that Im a FedEx delivery driver, so my Evo is my work phone. I took the phone off the charger at 11AM. At this time I turned on bluetooth and was streaming music ALL DAY LONG through my bluetooth headset (except on my 30-min break time). I talked on the phone for like 1 hour total time. I browsed the net for like 1 hour total. I used GPS and Google Maps probably twice.

Around 6:30PM, I still had over 25% of my battery.... so lets tally up:

11AM-6:30PM - 7.5 hours

bluetooth streaming audio 7 hrs

talk time 1 hr

Net browsing 1 hr

Time with spotty signal 1 hr (I run a rural route, so signal quality is not the best at my area)

GPS - 30 min

So from 100% to 25% in 7.5 hrs with all the stuff that I was doing, it is safe to say that this kernel ROCKS! With all the other kernels, I had to charge the battery around 4PM at the latest! So, yeah, Im happy! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] BAleR:
Its gonna be good!
[EVO 4G Android Development] AraqirG:
With SetCPU, EViO 1.1 and Kernel #6:

I unplugged my phone at 3:00 AM (when I went to bed). At 7:30 AM (when I woke up) my battery was at 91%. At 6 PM I was at 50%. My usage during the day was about 30 minutes of web browsing, 30 minutes of internet radio, 2 email accounts on push, wifi and bluetooth off but brightness at max.

Not bad but I'd like to see a little closer to 1% per hour when idle.

I'm gonna test without SetCPU tonight and tomorrow.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
That's Awesome. Do you use setCPu if so what settings and profiles. do you use OC widget? or do you run just the kernel, no OC app? Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohack99:
Hey dev, do you flash just like a reg kernel? I thought I read that you had to use adb or had this changed?

Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkinnison90:
Just flash through recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
Awesome. Do you use profiles? If so would you mind sharing? Which governor? Which version of setcpu? Thanks for the information
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Am I alone in not being able to get setcpu profiles to play nice with kernel v6
[EVO 4G Android Development] inJustus:
If someone provided their setcpu settings with this kernel forgive me..if not can u do me a solid & post it. My battery is dying quicker than expected, I'm sure I'm the culprit.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohack99:
after installing this kernel, we do need to charge fully then delete battery data right>?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BAleR:
It would be a good idea
[EVO 4G Android Development] AraqirG:
Do you use profiles?

Yes, just the standard (screen off 384 max, battery less than 15% 384 max, temp>50 224 max)

Which governor?

Conservative

Which version of setcpu?

latest, from the market

That said, these results aren't significant better than what was getting without OCing. I'm betting my results without SetCPU are similar. I'll let you know tomorrow.

Unplugged from charger at 4AM with a full charge and its 10:30PM now and I'm at 30%. I used my phone moderately, 50-60 texts, a few mins of phone calls including a couple on BT, maybe 2 hours of web browsing. I think that's pretty good, much better than I used to get on stock. I do use setcpu with a few profiles and everything set to ondemand lol. See pics for profiles.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohack99:
what do you use for your screen shots? that looks better than dro cap?
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
DRO CAP? HAHA ...Download "Shootme" off market

[EVO 4G Android Development] lucidvtec:
hey do you mind added the wireless N feature if possible

thx
[EVO 4G Android Development] flexgrip:
I'm just not getting better battery life. I've tried multiple configs in setcpu, turned off almost all radios, checked to see if there is anything eating it up, and nothing. It just doesn't seem to work for me on any version. When the screen is on I can see the battery percentage dropping a point every couple minutes. This is while surfing or whatever. I'm dropping about 8%/hour even with the screen off and almost zero usage.

I flashed over EViO 1.1. I didn't wipe or clear battery stats or wipe any caches. Is there something like that I should have done? It would seem to me that those things wouldn't matter. And I'm so far off from some of these claims of "days" of battery life that im starting to not believe them or think my phone is just broke. Anyone have any suggestions or is this entire thread a practical joke being played on only me :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] felacio:
Ok.. wanna give some results I had and experiences with v6.

I have charged off and on all day so I can't really post battery results. After reading from many about SetCPU and how ut wasn't helping them.. so I uninstalled it. Didn't reset phone or anything and my battery seemed to get better, I was a little perplexed. But I noticed that it wasn't scaling well (but cpu was still at 1113mhz without setCPU installed, odd) So i reinstalled with NO profiles. Set the governer at Conservative and saw the scaling go back to normal. My cpu usage was really low too and battery was going great. Then, something somewhere locked my cpu usage at 100% for about 30 minutes I tried to find what was locking it. Ut was something in "System" according to SystemPanel but I could not kill it. After my battery plummeted 25% I open up SetCPU to drop the CPU speed until I could figure out what was going on. It started to scale again and the cpu was "let go" and I watched it, in SetCPU comeback down and begin fluxuating properly. Hmmm..

Anyone have that?. If that hadn't happened my battery could have lasted a good few hours more. Which, would have been excellent battery life!!

...in 1943, I killed a drifter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
Flash the kernel over another Rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Not saying its the kernel but for a fact it is not the rom......
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
maybe not but its best to wipe completely apparently

try using baked snack rom then flash the kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
compiling a new kernel soon
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
I wouldn't say necessary to wipe I've ben flashing back and forth from all 3 kernels on evio 1.1 and not experiencing those effects.

Hows v7 coming along?
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkcovers:
If you mean soon as in tonight, I will be up for a few more hours. In case you need anyone to test anything.

good you guys are really gona like it :)

Codes all set just need to compile...tomrrow morning, its late now

ill post it tomorrow.

talk to you all then :)

Ahhh man lol... Check it out 2ma then
[EVO 4G Android Development] felacio:
Ok, my phone just did it again. Last time I thought it was SetCPU, so that was the first thing I opened, trying to get my CPU to top sticking at 100% usage. It didn't work.

this time it happened when my phone hit the 5% battery mark. so I plugged it in real quick and it's stuck at 2% charge.. won't charge up. Hmmm. I don't remember ever having a CPU stick like that on any other kernel. even an earlier version of this exhibited strange behavior like that. where, in the System processes. "Suspend" was eating my battery for some reason.

is anyone else seeing a strange battery drain with the CPU getting stuck at 100% usage, but can't find ANY program actually using it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] willy900wonka:
On the hero setcpu would reflect what ever state you turned it off on. So if you were powered on a high cpu utilization state, it would remain there. I always had to unplug from the charger when closing setcpu. I had hoped it had been modified to fix that issue, but maybe not.

SO set the phone at what ever state you want it to remain in, as the last action setcpu performs. Then kill it or what ever.

IIRC.

Btw I keep set cpu as an apk in the download folder, so I can install and remove at will. The paid version...
[EVO 4G Android Development] notasimpleway:
Whoa. Been using for a couple days....excellent. A Dev that devs without even having a phone to test with and still gets it working. Pretty great. (inflates King's ego)

Thanx for the reply, but upon further testing, it wasn't SetCPU that was causing the problems I don't think. I still have no idea, really, what was causing my CPU to lock at 100% and suck the battery dry like a Caprisun. I reset my phone and it's fine...for now.

*sigh*. here is hoping that v7 can fix this problem. 'cause my battery really was doing pretty damn good until, for no apparent reason, it just LOCKED at 100% usage, became ridiculously slow to use, and eat 25% of my battery in under 35mins. :(

This kernel is crazy good. I got about 14 hours with decent amount of use and ended up around 52%. Weird thing is, my uptime and awake time were nearly equal and I still got that much battery. Nice work!
