so does handcent drain the battery faster than the stock messanger? if so, is it the widget or the app altogether?
[EVO 4G Android Development] azrickster:
Ok, well guess I'll try with Amon-RA recovery - only thing I haven't tried yet.

Anyone able to get Google WIRED tethering to work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
I shouldnt have to spent big bucks to feel secure about a purchase.......Things are cheaper in different parts of the world and we're most likely getting them for wholesale prices:cool:

If i paid 60 bucks for the battery it would still be the same product
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
k /shakes head $60-$70 is not big bucks when it comes to high end battery technology, its normal price.

On topic...I got the best battery life with #3 than I have ever gotten since I got the Evo on June 4th, 16 hours with 33% remaining on Fresh 3.1.0.2. This with moderately heavy usage throughout the day.

Off topic, pull the stock red HTC battery out of your phone and tell us where that one was made...
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
THANK YOU.....My Point..... You think HTC pays 30 bucks for each battery in our phones ..NO ...They get wholesale for dirt cheap from china ..paint them red ...Through a logo on it and stick it in your phone

My battery life has be great with #3 also
[EVO 4G Android Development] umbra6:
I did my research...lol

[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
Yea and that article says it was a HTC battery :o

Doesnt matter what you use or how much you pay your still at risk
[EVO 4G Android Development] asesino:
Mines was only $12.00 and I'm pretty sure it will last as long as urs if not better cause this #3 Kernel is just awesome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
I feel like the guy on the evo - iphone 4 vid when he says he's gonna chop off his own d&^k now ....yes..... :confused: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg&feature=related

There can be no winner in a opinion fight...

Lets get back to this Mega Kernel:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] asesino:
I don't care....lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mlin:
I am now trying this kernal for the first time and so far it rocks the cazbah! Super stable, smooth, good benchmarks and FPS with low STDEV. I will report on battery tomorrow at the end of the day. BTW, using #3 on the newest Fresh- flashed directly over Netarchy's 4.1.7
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
HAHA. The awesome thing is, If king keeps making these awesome kernels, we wont have to buy 3000mah batteries!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
Im still trying to figure out wut else he can even squeeze in:o
[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
Alright, so I'm ready for BFS Kernel #4 Mr. King. Bring it on!

Just kidding, #3 is working wonders -- the best kernel that's ever been on my phone. For the first time since flashing Froyo, I am 100% absolutely happy with my setup. It's a shame it took this long... because I preordered the Epic :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
What is this, macrumors? Clean it up and get on topic haha

Loading Signature....
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
I have been trying to sync my phone with facebook for HTC sense. It just seems to be syncing forever. I don't have the option to sync live feeds in it (and thus turn it off), only sync contacts. I wiped cache and wiped data before installing Damage Control 3.5 and using Kernel #6. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how to fix it? I would really appreciate the help. I don't know what to do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] asesino:
Agree.............
[EVO 4G Android Development] huynhc:
donated as promised. thanks for the awesome kernals. although I cant say im a loyal kernal follower (i do peek over at netarchy's stuff as his was the first kernal I flashed), I do appreciate all your awesome work and dedication into the EVO even though you dont own one yourself. I am using your latest BFS #3 though and it is a great batterysaver for me =) thanks again man and hope to see more of your work....maybe ROM next after you get an EVO? ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Just a suggestion about the missing live feeds try going into settings applications manage applications all find Facebook for HTC sense clear data clear cache reboot see if that helps
[EVO 4G Android Development] Just_s:
Ok, so I have run all versions of Kingx and settled on BFS#3 as my go to. I have had it running for just over 24 hours. I did not condition the battery as thoroughly as I normally do after flashing (I was tired). Anyway, even without wiping battery stats and running my usual routine, I had a pretty damn good first full charge. I'm not interested in 30+ hour battery times where the phone sits on a coffee table looking pretty. I use my phone. Every day, all day. I need to know how long the thing will last with my typical use. Today's run did not include much GPS or media streaming, but I was on and off the phone all day with plenty of app usage.

First thing I noticed was a good startup charge. You can see from the first screen shot, it took a good five minutes to drop from 100% to 99%. That was a good start.

Then I had 9+ hours of solid use (12n-10pm) which is not amazing, but very good considering the amount of actual awake time. (Finally plugged in at 9h 32m 14s, 8% battery and 5h 56m 26s awake time. That is over 63% awake time!!!)

The kernel and SetCPU definitely did their part as you can see the battery remaining static when the EVO was not in use.

And finally, I thought it was interesting to see this represented by the amount of time spent at each frequency. Obviously the greatest amount of time was spent at 245 as the kernel UC'd whenever appropriate.

I'm going to cycle/condition the battery and see if I can double the battery life tomorrow. Oh, and if you are curious, the stats are courtesy of the Android System Info app
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nacomoon:
reinstall friendstream if you toke it off. Just uncheck sync live feeds and its like its not even there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -viperboy-:
I have wanted to try out this kernel since it came out but everyone I try, my touch screen doesn't work. I have an earlier EVO (from the Google I/O conference) so I believe it has the Nova panel on it. Does that have something to do with it? I am also running CM RC2. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nacomoon:
this doesn't work with any build of CM. Sense 2.2 roms only.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -viperboy-:
ah thanks alot. any plans for support for non-sense roms?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jsimon9633:
Switched roms to fusion and using bfs 3 kernel and it's running amazingly well

Love this kernel I tried the netarchy one but m as n its not even close anymore
[EVO 4G Android Development] -viperboy-:
so would you guys say its worth it to leave CM just for this kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jsimon9633:
I did and I was a cm night ly addict

This kernel makes sense roms really fast and great on battery

Cm has battery issues from my experiences with it plus I actually like some odd the sense apps
[EVO 4G Android Development] pongoface:
I am biased since cm6 still has no 4g and i use it everyday. I am loving the bfs#3 kernel though best so far on sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -viperboy-:
yeah my battery life has sucked bad on CM. I was thinking about going to DC but I heard Fresh was great on performance and battery life.

Any recommendation on ROMs with this kernel? and why?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jsimon9633:
Fresh is good I was running that til tonight

I liked it better than baked snack seemed faster and less buggy plus the dev always pots out quick updates for new apps like new google search and voice search

Tonight I installed fusion senseless version (bit misleading because its still a sense rom but just the launcher from sense remove) I then flashed kings bfs #3 and it's running amazingly fast and battery is draining super slow and I've been on xda like for the last 3 hours :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] pongoface:
I swear by calkulins evio 1.1. Have used them all. Can take any kernel with no problems, super snappy, excellent internal storage, never had any issues to speak of. Then you can theme it up anyway u want without losing performance. I use riptides theme with color menus. Then i added riptides black glass clock and round battery icon. Simply love my setup. Top it off with a little bfs#3 yummy. Base rom was getting mflops of 48 and quads of 1650-1724 oc'd to 1228mhz. Running setcpu daily to 384-1152 conservative and 245-245 powersave screen off. Good luck
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jsimon9633:
That sounds like a nice setup you have

I'll have to give that rom a go one of these days
[EVO 4G Android Development] mmmtacos:
two quick questions i may have just used the wrong search terms but: does this reset my phone if i flash it? or is this like the leaked .3 update i got... reading the term 'recovery' confused me.

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jsimon9633:
Are you rooted? Are you running a custom rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ceger:
So any analysis yet on which provides best battery: BFS #3 or non-BFS #7?

Ceger
[EVO 4G Android Development] dxearner:
You will not regret going to that rom. I too have tried so many, but the quickest and most stable I have tried to date.

EVOi FTW
[EVO 4G Android Development] spiicytuna:
Can you please post a direct link to your source on github.com?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bry21317:
Quick Question from Newbie.

I have just flashed a kernel yesterday, and it was Easy, now this one has got me a little confused as I want to test it, but am not sure how to load it.

Do I just load the .zip file as I did before, under the Recovery console, load from SD card, or do I need to do something else?

I see that he speaks of pushing the files with the ADB, which I can figure out, I think, but just want to make sure that I do it right.

I hope someone can let me know, before I just go and try it lol.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Load the zip kernel on SD flash it just like you flash a Rom wipe cache and dalvik cache b4 flashing kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] jd9900:
Baked snack 1.4, Ava v5, and DC 3.5 are all showing good to great gains in battery life with these kernels. Good equals an additional 5 hours and great is about an extra day. This thing could stay in standby for weeks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mylasthope:
Can anyone recommend some setcpu profiles for BFS #3? I'm using fresh 3.1 and the following profiles:

temp > 50c = 422/128 powersave (priority 100)

screen off = 384/245 powersave (priority 98)

battery < 20 = 499/245 powersave (priority 91)

battery < 50 = 768/245 ondemand (priority 84)

charging/full = 998/768 ondemand (priority 82)

battery < 100 = 998/768 ondemand (priority 76)

I had to reinstall Setcpu b/c I noticed significant lag on the phone. =(
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
All wrong.

Powersave locks your clock speeds at the lowest value you listed. Therefore, it is the same as setting 128/128, 245/245, and 245/245 for your first 3 profiles.

READ THIS: http://www.pokedev.com/setcpu/

I'd set them to conservative instead.

Charging/full should be set to performance where it locks it at the full clock speed since battery is not and issue (you're plugged in).

Finally, I'd set the other 2 to interactive. Or at least the Batt < 100% one. As you'll get a bit more response.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ctyke:
I will throw a plug in for vaelpak's Rom with this kernel has some of the best battery life I have have had. It is also a nice clean Rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mylasthope:
Awesome. I followed your suggestions! Thanks a lot! I just ripped those profiles from the CM6 thread. haha. Had a feeling the powersave was a little off. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] habitual_line_stepper:
I plugged his rom yesterday :cool:

This combo seriously has some insane battery life. Got 24 hours of life with normal use and still had 44% left... until I plugged in to flash Vaelpak's 1.2 rom and the BFS#3 kernel last night :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jsimon9633:
I'm on it now:)

Not sure I like the theme but rom is nice

How do I get back to stock theme
[EVO 4G Android Development] pongoface:
What theme are u using? If u flashed a theme then simply clwar cache and dalvik then reflash the evio rom. Do not do factory reset.
[EVO 4G Android Development] siverson612:
Maps FCs

Ever since I installed BFS #3 I have been getting force closes in Maps. I have flashed different roms and even flashed the RUU back to OTA 1.47.651.1 and formatted my SD card. At that point Maps 4.1 worked fine but once I upgraded to 4.4 the FCs were back. Also, Maps is the only app I'm having problems with. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockky:
If there'd ever be a CM6 Sense Rom...Calk's Evio is it.

As smooth and fast as can be. #3 kernel rocks it. Don't think I'm even Netarchys new one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
have a few small tweaks that may be worthy of a new kernel

I'll keep you all posted
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Lol a cm6 sense Rom? Interesting. However, kernels seem to be playing a bigger role in performance then the Rom itself. I'm smooth as butter with excellent benchmarks on fresh too. Why? Of course the Rom is optimized, but so is the kernel.

Oh do tell! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Is it even possible lol

Im getting insane battery life with #3 Ive come to figure out the setcpu profiles are not very helpful other than setting the governor. I'm getting much better results with no use of profiles
[EVO 4G Android Development] NSIDIUS:
This may be a goofy question, but I searched and didn't really find an answer.

Do you flash both of these? the number 3 and the number 7?

Or is it a choice of either/or?

I flashed both, just in case, the 3 first and then the 7, and it seems to be working well, no problems, but just want to know if seeing as such, was that done in the correct manner or am I simply working with the one I flashed last, which would be #7.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
They are two separate kernels my friend. No you don't flash them both. One has bfs (#3 or 3rd revision of that kernel) and one doesn't

Changelog should answer any further questions about the differences
[EVO 4G Android Development] zenulator:
How can you claim longest battery life if you don't even have the phone its run on? Do xda a favor and get out we don't need you begging for money.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZombieReagan:
So what was the difference between your battery life before this kernel and after?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Systemfraud:
Where is he begging?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zenulator:
On his site for the download. Honestly don't give this guy money to finish his evo fund.

First sentence in the op:

First sentence on his page:

To each his own I suppose. Let me know when the source for this is up so I can recompile and append my name in it and beg for the NEXT best device I want to dev on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] edtate:
But what if this kernel actually *does* increase battery life?

Seems these past couple of days with Goonz and his debacle for instance have really shown an ugly side of xda I didn't know existed; accepting all information as *fact* from a certain few individuals, and throwing everything else aside as rubbish if it didn't leave those "god-chosen" few. I believe before you label this person as a "begger", please allow at least ONE day for those who are testing this kernel to post results. If they're good, take back your comments and at least fess up as an adult. If I'm wrong and it's all rubbish, then I will publicly admit I was wrong and a bit foolish for standing up for him.

Maybe we all might learn something this....
[EVO 4G Android Development] lzlaxhacker:
I'm curious if this kernel works. I'm going to flash it tonight and it give it a battery test tomorrow. I'll report back with my results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zenulator:
Then he should allow one day to claim "longest battery life" also the guy has been banned before....

http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7021453&postcount=14

Just sayin if nothing changes nothing changes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Systemfraud:
Good points to both of you. I'm also currently testing out this kernel and will definitely post results!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZombieReagan:
KingKlick has been around for a long time, and this is just what he does. Hell he's the inspiration behind the "br0tips" on CM6. He's always taking other peoples code, makes a half-assed attempt at making something that'll actually boot...and pawns it around and begs for donations.

Hell, on his own website he actually has "gold" and "platinum" subscriptions, so he can siphon money out of peoples bank accounts on a monthly basis. Who knows what you get out of the deal....
[EVO 4G Android Development] engagedtosmile:
This guy has been devving for Android since the G1. I used to flash his ROMs all the time. He knows what he is doing and deserves a little bit more respect then that.

Hey, if more awesome devs want to come over to the Evo, I'm all for it.

DONATE.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zenulator:
A lot of people have been here since then. I'm just sayin it's shady. But do what ever you want with your money.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vboyz103:
Dude guys...you don't have to donate first. You always have an option to try the goods before buying. Think about it, all the options are out there for you to try. This is what is great about Open Source, and also nandroid backup your current state as always, then try this out. If it doesn't work revert back to the original and nothing will be lost except for some time.

Having said that, I just downloaded the kernel and will tested out over CM6 and see how it will fair as far as battery life goes.

Edit: OK flashed the kernel but failed with stock recovery. Oh well, onto another different kernel!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
READ op

Only works on 2.2 sense roms :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] edtate:
I'm getting nothing out of it personally; hell, I'm not even trying this out until a fps fix is included in the kernel.

@zenulator- After reading most of the thread to which you quoted, king does have a shady history regarding certain things. Problem is, we can't always just judge him on his past; and the main problem that was stated in that thread was his amount of similar (same) code in his roms. Difference now is he's compiling kernels.

Now if this is just a stock kernel with nothing changed and him stating he added whatever to it then he will surely be ousted eventually. Think about it, battery life was better on stock roms (after the facebook fix; at least it was true for me), and it is pretty easy to just label it as "whatever's kernel rom+best battery" since nobody would probably take the time to actually check. Just give the guy a day for some others to test his kernel then we'll go on from there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
.....

Did someone else implement havs that I don't know about?

.. honestly just stop
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
Oc kernel coming soon either tonight or tomorrow.

!

A keg got the best of me
[EVO 4G Android Development] zenulator:
I'm just saying give some numbers or anything to back up your claims and have some class about asking for donations because it sounds like your begging.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZombieReagan:
You might have received a warmer welcome if you didnt come out with wild claims like "BEST BATTERY LIFE" when you hadn't even had a way to test it first.

If you can't see why this is misleading, then you're either socially clueless or just plain unethical..
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
lol now i feel dirty for donating $20... You better come through King ;) I'm pulling for ya!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
? Seriously

Lol

For anyone doubting

Check my config or battery life

Seriously.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] HondaCop:
I can concur on this. Setcpu just gives me too many problems. What I have done is go with Juice Defender/Ultimate Juice and use its simple overclocking feature. No messing with timings, governors, profiles, etc.

I am getting INSANE battery and performance with this setup.

- Sent via my EVO from the back seat of your Momma's SUV.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lzlaxhacker:
I think he was more saying that Calk's EViO ROM is the Sense-based equivalent of CM6 in that it is very fast, stable, and trimmed down. I mean, obviously not as much as CM6, since it is still running Sense, but I think you get the idea.

In any case, Calk's EViO + this kernel(#7 for me, BFS noms my battery to pieces) is full of so much win.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
According to EViO's thread, it has the same, if not more included apps than Fresh's ROM does. I don't think it can get much cleaner than Fresh can.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dangerruss:
I thought EViO was a senseless rom? May have to try it again. Bfs #3 with freshes newest rom gets great battery. Been unplugged since six this morning and still at 80 percent. Haven't had any of the problems running set cpu either. Love these kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
Well, you apparently also haven't used your phone too. I am down to 68% with about an hour of call, 2 hours of Pandora streaming, 5-10 texts, 10 or more emails, FB and Twitter checking, since 9:00AM this morning. JuicePlotter is predicting another 16 hours to go. (8+16 = 24 hours of what I consider moderate-heavy use).
[EVO 4G Android Development] NSIDIUS:
Alrighty, thank you sir!

So I pretty much flashed the 7 over the 3.

I was reading on the BFS, I'm going to have to check it out some more in the changelog. BFS seems to be the way to go with what everyone is saying.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dundada08:
I am getting FCs on maps 4.4 as well... Haven't had to use maps yet but have a feeling it could come back to haunt me :/

Running baked snack 1.4 + bfs #2 (bfs #3 only causes my phone to hang...)
[EVO 4G Android Development] BAleR:
The only time maps FCed on me was when i set the clock under 800mhz or so...
[EVO 4G Android Development] fapstick:
Hi Guys.. I just wanted to mention that I was unable to get my phone to boot past the white htc evo 4g boot screen after flashing BFS #3. It doesnt loop, it just hangs. I wiped both caches and reflashed the kernel but still the same thing. Anyone else have this problem?

Stock kernel for now on fresh 3.1.0.1
