This just goes to show that every device is different and responds different to kernels. 11 is giving me the best battery life I have ever had with my Evo, freaking love it!! Currently on Calkulin's 1.3.1 but going to flash to his 1.4 later tonight...

Thanks King and keep up the great work!

Swyped from my supercharged Evo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jason_Thames:
You know, I am having great battery life results with CFS 11 and the Stock RUU Root+Nand. To tell you the truth, I wasn't getting awful life on the new #11 HTC Kernel. I don't use SetCPU and CFS 11 is about the best battery life I have seen so far on my Evo. I would say that if you are having issues with a Kings/Net kernel, just stick with the new official HTC. It seems to be pretty good...

EDIT:

Looks like this kernel is performing admirably at idle or while sleeping, but under load it EATS EATS EATS battery. Time to try something else i suppose.

Strange results

This evening has been interesting reading. We have three Evos, all Rev03, 2 rooted and one stock. Since this latest OTA update, all three of them, including one stock Evo, are getting inferior battery life than from the previous Sense build.

I have been running the latest Fresh Sense ROM and have nands of it with both BFS and CFS toastmod 4.1.9.1 kernels along with 6 nands with Kings kernels, BFS 8, 9, 10, CFS 9, 10, and 11. Otherwise they are all identical. None of these gives me the battery time of the previous major build of Fresh, or especially the old DC3.5 using Kings...I think it was CFS #7, but its been a while.

I heard all the rage about the better batter life in the latest Sense build and got rid of my old Sense nands. Are these three Evos the only ones that are getting worse battery life since the latest OTA build?

I think my bro is using Caulkin's latest and likes it, but says battery on DC3.5 with an old King's kernel was better. Just curious if anyone else has noticed this.

Thank you for your time.

I am running Baked snacks 1.7 because I think 3.28 is superior to 3.29 in terms of battery life
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
How do i check to my uptimes and awake times on my phone. Also, what programs or widgets can I use to kill running services. My battery life on cfs 11 is MUCH worse than it was on 10 so I am going back to 10...just thought i'd add myself to the list of people doing this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Ill check out 10 since I have been using CFS 11 for awhile now with no real drain. Maybe 10 will be better... Maybe not... Just also depends on what programs you have running and overall use. But thx for the heads up and ya BFS did not play nice with my phone either. later
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZombieReagan:
Earlier in this thread I gave King **** for the bare bones documentation on his code, but I'd like to give credit where it's due. The newer changelogs actually describe WHAT bugs were fixed, which I appreciate. Things like that help everyone better understand what sort of behavior changes they should expect between revisions. Working for a software company, and seeing how poor documentation brings a project to it's knees..it's a pet peeve of mine.

Sorry for the derail, but I wanted to get that out there.

No worries, way to man up
[EVO 4G Android Development] cabbieBot:
i must be crazy but i cant find the full list of download links since he's changed his site up. ive been away from playing with kernels the past few weeks so im behind the times. is there another link not in the OP to it?

Also, I'm on fresh 3.3.0.1 with its own kernel. If I flash a kernel, the only way to revert is to reflash the ROM, yes? As far as I know its not available by itself
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
That stock kernel of Fresh's is in the fresh updater. If you've never used the updater, you should. It's like a personal little fresh ROM Manager. HERE is the setup guide
[EVO 4G Android Development] cabbieBot:
awesome! yea i have the fresh updater. The updater and the kitchen are what really sets fresh apart, which is why i hardly ever use any other rom, back since the Hero.

Going to nand up and see what CFS11 is all about. CFS10 made my phone incredibly unstable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
There are reports in addition to mine of kernels or ROMs or something creating this scenario where the phone's system usage is high, killing the battery. CFS 11 exhibited this, but so did netarchy's most recent. Both with Fresh.. Sigh
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
im looking for a NON HAVS kernel to use with Myns new RLS2 rom and battery tweak.

with battery tweak HAVS does not work correctly and it causing the battery to drain MORE.

if anyone can point me in the right direction into a king NON HAVS stable kernel or any kernel that is a good one and NON HAVS please do.

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
AFAIK all King's evo kernels are HAVS.

Back to BFS #9 for me. My phone just doesn't seem to like the CFS kernels.

How do i check to my uptimes and awake times on my phone. Also, what programs or widgets can I use to kill running services. I thought froyo killed all these but just wanted to know what programs you guys consider the best. NOONE responds to this post so i posted again and would appreciate help. battery life on cfs 11 is MUCH worse than it was on 10 so I am going back to 10...just thought i'd add myself to the list of people doing this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
Is there something inherent in these kernels that can deteriorate over time or something? I can flash a kernel (#11 right now) and get amazing battery life for a few days or so and then it starts to just go downhill. I'm back to draining close to 10% an hour even when not using my phone. At first I could leave it off the charger over night and it would only lose 4-5% in 8 hours. I'm on Calkulins 1.4 which has CFS 11 included in it, just an FYI. I haven't changed anything on my phone at all. The ONLY thing I've noticed, is that "Android System" is the top user of my battery. A lot of the time it seems "Cell Standby" is the top user. I guess I'll have to keep an eye on things and see if they improve.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rene2.5RS:
Goto Menu > Settings > About Phone > Battery

While here you will see Up Time and Awake Time

You can also click on Battery use to see what is using the battery

Program to kill running services, you can either use Froyo (Menu > Applicaion > Running services and kill running services that way or use a 3rd party app such as Advanced Task Killer
[EVO 4G Android Development] m4rk0358:
Running cfs #11 and wanted to see if disabling SetCPU would actually increase battery life. Question is, how exactly do I disable SetCPU?

Would freezing the app in Titanium Backup be a good way to disable it for the time being?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
gotta go to the superuser app and disable it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] m4rk0358:
I did that but it still shows up in the notification bar with all of my settings showing. Maybe I didn't actually disable it. I clicked "deny" for that app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
One way to make sure is to uninstall it and then reflash the kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Atticustrd:
used CFS11 for a few days, was getting poor battery life.

Went back to CFS10 still getting poor battery life :(

I have nothing refreshing constantly, i use wifi when im around it, no gps, text messages and web browsing are my most uses and my wife has been addicted to angry birds. But i wouldn't think my battery would drain that quick. I unplugged today at 7am its now 920am and my battery is down to 86. With only 5 text messages. No widgets or emails are refreshing constantly. Ive set my widgets to refresh 1day and when i want to view something ill refresh them myself. My weather is the only thing refreshing every 3 hours. I would think my battery life should be better.

Is the Collin_ph Battery Tweak bad for havs as well?

[EVO 4G Android Development] MercuryTangent:
The initial 10% drop is pretty standard due to the way the Evo charges. The performance after that 10% is more telling.

Yes. Check out the thread on the battery tweak. There's a disclaimer that states that the tweak interferes with HAVS.

[EVO 4G Android Development] stewie-droid:
10% drop happens when you don't unplug charger at 100% or at 99%.

If you do 10% drop does not happen. If you overlook even 5 min it will drop 10%.

I do not know why that is but that's how it is on my phone. If i unplug immidietely at 100% or at 99% the drops don't happen. Tested many times. Try it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] cabbieBot:
goddammit!!! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Atticustrd:
I charge my phone when i go to sleep im not going to wake up just to unplug it before it reaches the 99% 100% :o
[EVO 4G Android Development] Atticustrd:
Hmm, my unplug was at 7am its now 1pm and my battery is at 65% again on wifi and about 20text messages.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stewie-droid:
Suite yourself dude! I don't care. Just trying to help you out, as it works on my phone.

KK and neterchy CFS kernels rule and are great on battery life. Other thing you can check is what ROM you're using.

AVA is great, so is Fresh and Baked snack, although Baked touch screen sensitivity was way too high for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Atticustrd:
Wasnt trying to be rude, i was just saying, i know i wont get up to unplug.

Im using AvA. which i love. But the battery life is killing me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stewie-droid:
Try 4.1.9 neterch kernel but wipe cache and dalvik cache first before you flash.

Also you can always unplug in AM and after 10 minutes when it drops few % replug and unplug at exactly 100% or 99%. It will take you at most 10 minuntes. I know it's annoying and sounds hocus pocus but it works for me and i do it. Also use setcup and setup profiles for 245mhz while scren off and few others. Setcpu is a must!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Atticustrd:
Good idea, i could unplug while i take shower then plug in when i get out, and unplug when i leave for work. Ill try it tomorrow.

Neterch works with AvaV9?

Also i keep reading that setcpu is not recommend. And it makes it worse..

Whats your battery life like?

Setcpu profiles are not recommended with havs kernels.

From my Evo to your eyeballs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scooter185:
Running ava9 and have worse battery life with cfs11 than the stock kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stewie-droid:
Ok! I see NO conflicts whatsoever running it. In fact screen off is must have imo, but like i said experiment yourself and see what's best for your phone. I'm happy with KK cfs #11 running setcpu and profiles.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
I explained it a while ago. Forcing your CPU to a lower frequency could result in havs scaling up to a higher voltage for a longer time if a background process kicks in with screen off. It's better to let your CPU scale up to a slightly higher frequency for a short time then to have it chug along at a lower frequency for a long time.

From my Evo to your eyeballs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stewie-droid:
So what do you suggest to do as far as setcpu? I follow the monitoring it does and it behaves quite well. I've used the phone today quite a bit and after full 12 hrs i still have 60% of battery left. I mean that's pretty awesome if one asks me, but i would not mind improving it more. lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
I can only comment on what has worked best for me. I have mine set at 1152/245 conservative, and I changed the thresholds for ramping to 95 up and 50 down with a freq step of 5. It scales very smoothly, and I find that in the info tab of setcpu I'm hardly over 499200.

[EVO 4G Android Development] cruecu:
I'm completely on board with not using profiles in setcpu as I've done real world tests with my phone and see no difference in battery life, but.....does using setcpu to underclock at all times affect HAVS at all or is this ok? I've never seen this asked specifically. I'd like to underclock all the time to save battery (if it actually helps) since I see no difference in my phone speed underclocking 20% to 30%. Thanks for the help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] THunDA:
If thats true it would be cool to have an app that stops the phone from charging @ 100%.
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
As I have read on the forums the way these batteries are the Lithium batteries that is. When it reaches full capacity it is no longer being charged off the power source but in fact uses the actual battery power itself. so at 100 now the charger turns off and the battery kicks in to keep your phone charged. Thats why the HTC battery trick works the way it does.

charge on till green - turn off charge till green - turn on charge again till green. Try it or try one of the external chargers they keep you at 100% no matter how long you keep it on there. At least it does for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] THunDA:
thanks for the input, Ive been contemplating going with a spare batt with desktop so maybe I will try it now.

[EVO 4G Android Development] 11_fingers:
Had issue after flashing this kernal on fresh, I lost incoming calls on bluetooth, phone rang but not car or two headsets. Flashed back to stock fresh and bluetooth worked, also tried netarchy fresh comp. bfs, and everything worked there as well. Tried king 11 again and back to no incoming calls via bluetooth. Outgoing calls route fine, proally just my phone but throwing it out there in case others have similiar issue. Aside from bluetooth, kings kernal was great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
Been running cfs 11 since it was released. No problems, battery life is great, and I am only using setcpu to adjust the sampling rate, up/down thresholds, and freq step. No oc or profiles (I used to use charging profiles). Best kernel yet king. Everything works and nothing is broken. Good job.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
Please forgive my lack of understanding, but could you elaborate a bit more on the procedure described above? I want to try it, but...I don't get it.

Also, does this fix the not sleeping problem with these newer kernels? Any idea what and how it is doing so?

Thank you for your time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
Search for System Panel in the Market. Download & install.

I'll admit that it's a bit vague, but I just did it because I was curious as well.

Once you start the app after a reboot, you'll see what they were talking about.

I downloaded the free version. If it seems really valuable, I'll get the paid one for long term use.

Dont know what it is but my phone is getting its best battery life using cfs11.

finally found the damn link to the kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
This fixes the awake time issue period, for anything. The reason it works is because some random app in conjunction with your ROM/Kernel is keeping your phone from sleeping when you first boot. All you are doing is killing it so that this may not happen. You have to repeat because you may miss it.

It's one of the 4 paid apps out of over a hundred I actually paid for

What can I put the over clocking to?

[EVO 4G Android Development] MercuryTangent:
Depends on the phone. My phone is stable at 1.15. Some can go higher, some can't. Just make sure that you DO NOT select "Apply settings at boot" until you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that your phone is stable at the speed you've selected.

In other words, pick a speed and go.

Hello I just flashed Kings #11 CFS Kernel on my Evo and checking the kernel version on the phone states

"2.6.32.15" and htc-kernel@and 18-2 #11

Does that mean I really do have Kernel #11? I'm guessing the "#11" I see is a big hint (:D) but the release notes say the kernel was patched up to 2.6.32.21. Have I missed anything?

Can someone please help me

No has answered or helped me. Im new to rooting and I just rooted with Unrevoked and I was wondering if someone can please help figure things out. I was wondering if I would have to flash a ROM first then a kernel so that i can overclock my phone. Or can i just flash a kernel onto my phone. Also can I use ROM manager to flash a kernel on to my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MercuryTangent:
You can flash this kernel on the stock rom. Copy the kernel zip to the root of your SD card, reboot into recovery (likely yours is clock work), then select flash from zip. Select the kernel zip file and flash it.

If you need more detailed instructions, search for "How to flash a kernel" or read one of the stickies in the hacking forum of whatever phone you have. Often times you can find an article that has pictures or video, which makes it easier.

King's #11 CFS is still by far the best kernel for my Evo. With my custom ROM it just simply flies!

I noticed little oddities using Netarchy 4.18 and 4.19:

-The phone gets warm to the touch then cool for no reason.

-I have a lot more downloading problems with Netarchy's kernels.

I tend to go back and forth, both King and Netarchy make awesome kernels but so far King's is top.

Great work King and keep it up! The one thing I wish you put in your kernels is the system tweaks like Netarchy does:

Dalvik to Cache

Zipalign

Etc.

But it works well and my ROM has those tweaks already :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] thanatos_evo:
Yeah, I wiped all data and reflashed, can see that I have King's kernel now. Coupled with SetCPU, seeing some pretty cool battery life!

[EVO 4G Android Development] ckolivas:
Hey King, you going to be updating your BFS kernel? Your "latest" one in BFS #10 includes a buggy BFS making it not a very useful rom to offer, so it'd be nice if you at least moved up to BFS 0.357.

So,i have tried to install king kernel#11 twice and both times it just keeps restarting and will not stay on the main page. I have stock rom and rooted through unrevoked.

2a. get into recovery via powering down then holding volume down button while powering up)

3. nand backup

4. wipe cache and dalvik

5. Install zip from download file

6. reboot

I have set cpu with nothing on.

Is this right? Doesn't seem to be working and my phone just keeps restarting until I take the battery out.
