so I'm loving the battery life in #9 but the lag after a while is killing me... wuts the one I should switch to???
[EVO 4G Android Development] firestetz:
I had the same lag problem with 9 on fresh 3.2 I cleared cache using ra and have not had any more problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
I went to #9, then back to #8 but I've settled on #6. Very stable on my phone and battery life is good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nyckrs:
im on stock 2.2. which kernal is good with stock rom? kernal #6?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JvIo55iBl3r:
King, should we look forward to some new kernel (bfs/cfs) shortly for the new OTA we just had yesterday?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nemesys504:
He can't make a new kernel from yesterday's update until HTC releases the source code for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
New CFS kernel is live!

enjoy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] minhgi:
Running fresh 3. 3. 0. 1 with bfs 9. Everything looks good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bwtl1000r:
Same and she is rock solid. I have begun to expect nothing less than excellence from these kernels. Awesome work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] NinjaPenguin:
Downloading new CFS9. King you do amazing work and your kernals have been nothing short of awesome. Hopefully this will take care of some battery issues thats arisen lately
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
downloading now, bet you that gonna be great, i can not wait till HTC release them new source and you start break records
[EVO 4G Android Development] cabbieBot:
interesting. I had been using the BFS kernels but attempted to use CFS #8. My phone rejected it like a hot chick rejects me at a bar. It was super sluggish and basically unusable. Back to BFS #9 and its working great. I was under the impression that almost all phones would do CFS fine but some wouldnt do BFS fine. Anyone shed light on that? Im wary of CFS #9.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
that is odd. did you wipe dalvik?

At any rate #9 CFS is really something else :)

BFS #10 is going to be AMAZING, I have a new test bfs patch ;) ;)

:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] suavestats718:
will your latest bfs kernel work with the new fresh evo rom that has the ota update ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rebosxl:
Ugh this is now the first cfs that refuses to flash to my phone. Bootloop mania! Tried clock work and anon, wiped everything and flashed virus and fresh rom to no avail. I swear all of your new kernels hate my phone, maybe its defective.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cabbieBot:
yup. i wiped cache and dalvik. I actually tried to flash CFS#8 twice. After the first time I nand restored back to fresh 3.3.0.1 and phone acted normally. I wiped cache/dalvik again and then flashed CFS#8 and same result. There'd be something like a 5 second delay on the touchscreen. After that I rebooted into recovery, wiped cache/dalvik and flashed BFS#9 and its all gravy since then.

What are the plans for #10?
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
LA PUTA MADRE with all do respect, i knew thah you have some ACE under your sleve LOl, like how long you will be getting us waiting for BFS numero 10
[EVO 4G Android Development] MercuryTangent:
Just flashed #9 on VirusAirbourne ROM. Snappy as all hell. Great stuff!
[EVO 4G Android Development] willy900wonka:
Flashed bfs10.

Side affect: it upped the 100% voltage by .1v means no drop of5% immediately after disconnecting from the charger.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wsantiagow:
What happened to all of the 25th and most of the 26th posts?
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Interesting...I see #10 is gone as well.

Edit: Oops. I just read the sticky at the top of the forums. Maintenance blew up and they restored from a 24 hour old backup.

[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
yeah ive installed 10 on my phone, full battery, works amazing but the phone died in 4 hours while in standby and now my phone wont turn on

had to remove battery, anyone know why this would have killed the battery? i installed the kernel then went to bed
[EVO 4G Android Development] dis39tif:
Similar to stevo11811....I installed #10 over the latest stock/deodexed update from myn. I was running quadrant and my scores were really low, like 1050. The phone seemed to be running fine otherwise, so I didn't care much. Went to bed, woke up and the battery was just about toast. Checked out system panel and it said cpu usage was near 100% the whole time, and it never went to sleep. I haven't changed any apps recently so I'm going to try reflashing a few things to see what happens.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
I tried #10 and phone seemed to be running fine, but then i had a couple of touch responsiveness issues... like with the lockscreen. Then i ran quadrant and they were low, apparently the CPU test were slow, thought it wasnt a big deal if the phone was running fine. But then my browser wasnt really working.. i switched to netarchy and everything is running smooth again
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
im on a stock odexed version of 3.29, no apps installed yet, i wasnt able to check cpu usage i had to remove the battery to get my phone to boot

edit : as far as quadrant scores, mine was about the same as stock kernel, but this kernel was a hell of a lot faster between the menu's and the smoothness of the web browser / sense menu's
[EVO 4G Android Development] mastermarc:
Same here, except my quadrant scores were even lower and my phone just froze while it was plugged in (stopped charging) was very hot...had to pull the battery when i woke up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
flashed the updated bfs 9... drained my battery like tailgater's drink beer, nandroid back to the previous bfs 9
[EVO 4G Android Development] armystrong:
Flashed BFS #10 went to bed, woke up and it was dead!

I reflashed BFS #9, what happened?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasonleb1:
Well #10 ****ed my phone up to like the 10th power. It's been on for less then 2 hours and my battery is at 66% and I haven't done anything with it. And it slowed my phone down so much it takes 2 seconds just to switch between screens.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
I'm liking CFS9, but I think I like the new HTC kernel a little more. lol. Can't wait til HTC releases the source and King can implement some things in his kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownmc77:
Im in the same boat as yall. Running #10, charged phone to a hundred, went to the club, came back and phone was off. Too drunk to even use is, so in had no use, and it just died. Damn the change log seemed so good. I had high hopes. Seems like more damage is done when the phones asleep. Anyways, I'll give it another day.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tracerit:
what's the difference between BFS and CFS?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
Prepare to be flamed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fazzmanic:
if you had an evo you would have never released #10 kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tracerit:
i expected that, so i'm just going to try both. a google search doesn't really bring anything up besides references to some pdf file.

searching here just brings up a bunch of try it yourself answers.

so i guess that's what i'll do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigj225:
If u could make kernels yourself then u could complain
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
+1. I work too damn much to have enough time to dust off my developing environment.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Success100:
wow im glad i didnt try it out, downloaded it but never flashed. Im sure King will get it patched up and working though
[EVO 4G Android Development] bignibb:
number 10 wont let my phone sleep but other than that its a good kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] MikeC84:
Exactly!! I'll stick with baked snack kernels, much better IMO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
He doesn't but i heard he is really close and has a contact on XDA ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] sudhirkhanger:
Where did you guys get #10? Do you just flash it over pervious kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sstory792:
You don't want it ,is buggy. He will fix it soon
[EVO 4G Android Development] dglowe343:
It was up last night. There seems to be some missing posts right now on xda. Just click his kernel link in the OP. He has his own site with all the downloads. Disable permissions for setcpu, if you're using it, and just flash over your existing kernel. Might wanna wipe dalvik also.

Sent from my SUPERSONIC
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
um why would you disable permissions for setcpu????? You have to use set cpu to set the govenor. there were people that had been saying that the profiles in setcpu had caused some conflicts with the scheduling causing some bad battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
Since not all kernels are the same, disabling setcpu is wise because you don't want setcpu forcing settings onto a kernel without first knowing if it is "safe".
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jefpier:
i need a mirrorr for bfs 9... i dl version 10 but it messed things up, want to go back
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Possibly to cover flaws in the kernel? Why has no other dev done this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DirtyShroomz:
#10 was horrible, sorry King I love your work but it was messing my gmail up, phone was really laggy and choppy, quadrant was coming in the 900's. I love #9 though, been using your kernels exclusively since I got my Evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
but if you disable it your not selecting a govenor thats in the kernel to run so you miss out on using the govenor thats in the kernel which is one of the main things to help battery life with scaling and all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tyzing:
I'm having great luck with #9 CFS...I'm literally flat lining when not using it

Kernel #10 I am amazed that my EVO can be so fast. I have no problem with #10 so far after couple of hour of usage. My Quardant Standard comes to 828 from 1200+

Noob question:- I don't really understand Quardant Standard. What does this number means?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brol1k:
Wth! Been running cfs #9 since this morning, strange problem occurred. My phone just just rebooted itself. Anyone experience this before?

[EVO 4G Android Development] mawst95:
BFS 10 was acting strange. Some things were very fast, but others were choppy. Quadrant was way down, but I'm not sure y or what the "real world" impact was.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i think you would be better served calling these beta's or having a group of beta testers because i have seen some comments that contrast your change log below
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
Each kernel runs on a default governor which is selected by the developer. Setcpu only allows you to change what governor is used by default if the default governor is not the one you want to use.

If you don't disable setcpu before flashing a different kernel you could possibly lock up your phone because the simple reason that not all kernels are the same.

If you oc kernel A to 1.2 and it's stable kernel B may not even run at 1.2. If you have setcpu set to apply the 1.2 oc at boot and you load kernel B the phone will freeze/lockup before you can even do anything. You would then have to nandroid back to your previous kernel just to be able to get your phone running again.

You are confusing the governors with something that setcpu controls exclusively. It only allows you to change to whatever governor is available in the kernel from the default.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
OP fixed. #10 is still live :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
it's the score you earned on the benchmark.

To the people experiencing issues.

Try a different ROM or something :)

There is no reason why the majority would be experiencing a performance boost and others a complete downgrade. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tyzing:
Seems like this is more of a performance kernel and might not score as well as some with battery...is that fair?

I'm always looking for the best of both but more focused on battery life than anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
CFS9 kernel is as close to the best of both worlds as you can get.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Cfs #7 for my choice of kernel w any rom :)

bfs#10

Just installed... Brwosing web 1 min already rebooted... Will try again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tsipa:
I'm on virus Rom and #10 causes me to have 100% awake time...
[EVO 4G Android Development] godfirst:
#10 is very snappy no browser closing, but i do have 100% awake time. My suggestion for the browser closing, if your OC then you need to back it down some and that should fix the browser closing. That issue happens with me when I OC too high. IMO bfs #5 is the best of all time for KING kernels. Haven't had a chance to test the battery life out on #10 but hopefully the 100% awake time doesn't effect the phone battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Im not OC and 10 is laggy after awhile... sorry going back to 9 Im not crazy about 10
[EVO 4G Android Development] sudhirkhanger:
Is use of SetCPU not advised on #10?
[EVO 4G Android Development] VinceOB:
#10 is quick, but like everyone else, 100% awake time. Going back to #9.
[EVO 4G Android Development] godfirst:
I've been if i'm not mistaking on one of King's earlier kernels like when he first started with the evo and had an 100% awake time and it did not effect the battery usage so that could be the case here so I suggest give it a try be for you switch(at least 2 days or 2 to 3 battery cycles). Also I'm OC and its still running very smooth. And for you guys that don't know king did re-update #10. The first release of #10 was so buggy and laggy also the file size for the first #10 was 4.4mb or so and the updated file is almost 5mbs(4.77). So he did fix the lag, just not the 100% awake time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
that kind of fly's against the logic that king used earlier suggesting that its the ROM not the kernel's issue. if in fact the majority of the folks reporting success, why the need for change?
[EVO 4G Android Development] firestetz:
You can use set cpu but don't use any profiles. When I tried it with profiles had major conflicts but just oc and changing governor no problem at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i also believe the dev disabled some setcpu functionality as well with #10, but i might have misinterpreted it
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
king is this rated for stock 3.29? i was a little concerned after my phone dieing like it did in a short amount of time
[EVO 4G Android Development] firestetz:
He might have I do know farther back in the thread he recommend against using set cpu.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
I'm not confusing anything here. I'm saying keeping your set CPU settings to default clock speeds ie. 998 in this case, and disable all profiles is the way to test the kernels out. Each kernel has different governors enabled in them and the only way to change the govenors up is to use Set CPU.

I guess in the end you were really saying to just take down any OC you might have on the current kernel before you flash a new one in case the new one doesn't like it. In this case there is no need to disable set cpu.
[EVO 4G Android Development] godfirst:
There has been a report from different roms of a100% awake time so what are you talking about dude? Change? Ah it shouldn't be a100% awake time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
so not trying to be a ****, but you basically confirmed what i said. the OP stated it was the ROM, but there was a change anyways. My point was i find it hard to believe that it was the ROM when what appeared to me there were some major issues reported across different ROM's. Take a second before you reply next time
[EVO 4G Android Development] EindhovenOne:
The only kernels I have used other than stock ones coming with Flipz' ROMs are King's, and I am very grateful for his work because the difference in performance and battery life are blatantly obvious. With that said, I don't believe it is a ROM issue. I have been on BFS9 since it came out using both Fresh Evo 3.2.0.0 and 3.3.0.1 and I really like it when it comes to FPS, quadrant scores, and battery life. I was very excited about BFS10, but as stated by other members using a number of ROMs, my quadrant score dropped from 1540 to 860 and it is definitely 100% awake. Strangely though, I didn't have any browser problems but I did have a random reboot in the middle of a phone call. I am not down-playing any of your work, King; I'm just putting in my two cents and telling what I'm experiencing. Maybe you'll find something to fix or tweak in BFS10 that resolves the issues, maybe not. Either way, love the kernels, sticking with BFS9 for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] minhgi:
This kernel rock except waze can not connect to network and force close. I am on bfs 10
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
We both were on the same understanding just wording it differently. Yes, if you're oc'd then disable the oc and profiles if you have any. That is what I meant by disable. You thought I meant disable as in to stop setcpu completely. There is no need to stop it completely but it should not be set to apply oc or profiles on a new kernel before testing it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] godfirst:
Your right my bad.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:

[EVO 4G Android Development] ckolivas:
Hey King. Is the test4 patch the only thing new in this "BFS 10" ? If you're changing more than just the kernel between bfs 9 and bfs 10 it makes it impossible for me to know if it's just the bfs changes that cause problems. I'm very keen to ensure BFS remains working well for android. The last good reported working BFS for android was version 318 and the patches I gave you should get you to 330-test4. Currently I have code up to BFS 350 which is a bit more than 330-test4 was, although that's not yet available for 2.6.32. I need to know if you're using any of the stable updates (2.6.32.22 being the latest) or if you're just using 2.6.32 for android.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomApollyon:
Just a little feedback here.

After a full wipe and fresh install with BFS#10 I too was getting the 100% awake time with increased battery drain. I was using Calk's 1.2a ROM with NO setCPU and after clearing everything and installing BFS#9 things seem to be back to normal, I also tried Virus's Airbourne with identical results. It definitely seems to be something with #10 causing the issue, unless I'm missing something..
[EVO 4G Android Development] tsipa:
I had the same results, except I didn't do a full wipe. I tried BFS #10 shortly after it was posted and got 100% awake time. I thought that it might not affect my battery life that much but I was wrong and my battery was gone after a few hours. Went back to BFS #9 the next day... it has been running great for the last few weeks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
Bout damned time man! Congrats, and keep up the great work. BFS #9 has been my daily driver since it's release, and it would take some major changes to convince me to switch away from it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bignibb:
I am using CFS 9, is there any reason to use BFS 9 over it? I am very happy with this kernel, it seems to perform better than any others I have tried. My current rom is the latest Evo Zone 3.29 with latest pri and radio and this combo is smooth stable and fast. It is overclocked to 1.3 ang my phone has been off the charger for 10 hrs and with moderate use I am at 85%.

Anyway, I've been trying to DL the new BFS#10, but I keep getting errors from the site when I click it. Is it just really busy, or did you pull it until you can investigate the issues being reported? I wanted to test it out for myself.

Download link not working for bfs #10...:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] rugedraw:
Update after 1 hour of running BFS #10

Ok, so I wiped the davlik cache & cache twice (as a sanity check) and then wiped the battery data twice using AmonRa and flashed BFS #10 over BFS #9.

As soon as the phone booted, I took this snap shot:

I let my phone sit on idle, without turning on the screen or using it at all (no calls or text came in), and I left the sync, GPS, and 3G on as I usually do. However, the phone is scheduled to sync every two hours, and since I has just rebooted, it never synced once while it was sleeping during this one hour period. When it first booted, I checked the screen to see what has been using the battery, and it only said Android System 100%, so the battery data wipe was successful. After an hour passed, I took this screen shot:

As you can see, my battery went down by 23% (see top left for battery percentage widget) and the awake time was 100%. SetCPU has no profiles set; it is only used to OC to 1152.

Now the battery usage reads:

Andoid OS: 33%

Cell Standby: 24%

Phone Idle: 21%

Android System: 18%

Display 4%

So yea, there is definitely something causing the phone to stay awake and the juice to be sucked dry. I'm going back #9 until you can work it out. Thank you, sir, and I hope this helps you track down the issue.

Edit: Quadrant score dropped to 937 average with 3 tries; MFLOPS stayed the same at about the same at 38.2 average after 5 tries. (see sig for previous numbers)
[EVO 4G Android Development] marshall_634:
I went back to #9 as well. My barry went to 53% in just 3 hrs of having the phone on. No text to calls.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leeoniya:
still testing, but i'm noticing a significant dropoff in batt life with #10 BFS as well. dropped by 25% in < 2 hours of mostly idle/sleep. quadrant took a nosedive from 1400's to 950s. linpack no sig. change.

looks like an issue with something or other. #9 BFS was good.

all settings the same. setcpu profiles off, conservative gov. wiped caches/stats before flash. fresh 3.3.0.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sudhirkhanger:
I lost 60% of battery in about 5 hours with #10. Awake time is 100%. The system is fanned fast.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i think we have given king enough feedback on #10. With an actual Evo to test on, i think a lot of these issues should be able to be tested prior to release and should improve upon the dev cycle.

Odd, not sure if anyone had this problem but my webpages don't seem to load to completion. And seems like it locks up the phone too.
