Today, I had a weird reboot in the middle of web surfing on my phone. After it rebooted it froze on the HTC Evo screen and wouldn't boot past it. I pulled the battery and tried again, and it froze again. Tried a third time with the same result, so I went to recovery and did a restore with my nand back up. I did not reinstall kingxkernel 9 after because I needed my phone to work today.

I am rooted with unrevoked 3.2, with clockwork mod recovery and at the time of the reboot/freeze I had kingxkernel 9.

Anyone have this happen before? Anyone know the issue and a solution?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
So far the battery life on #9 seems pretty good even without SetCPU or OCW. However, ever since flashing #9 my phone turns sluggish about every 24 hours and requires a reboot to get running smoothly again. I don't know why this is happening, but for now I'm back to BFS #4.

This was a triumph.

I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Aperture Science

We do what we must

because we can.

For the good of all of us.

Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.

You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

And the Science gets done.

And you make a neat gun.

For the people who are still alive.

I'm not even angry.

I'm being so sincere right now.

Even though you broke my heart.

And killed me.

And tore me to pieces.

And threw every piece into a fire.

As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!

Now these points of data make a beautiful line.

And we're out of beta.

We're releasing on time.

So I'm GLaD. I got burned.

Think of all the things we learned

for the people who are still alive.

Ha kernel name + video game = rhyme and humor :P

King your Kernel on Baked Snack without SetCpu is golden my brotha
[EVO 4G Android Development] lokitoorg:
Ok i been running this baby for over 1 week and so far its the best kernel i have use, the battery is super great, i also use SetCpu and AutoKiller.

Today i unplug the phone this morning around 6 am, i work on the NOC for a hospital in NY and i get more than 50 emails a day, and also i text a lot and talk with my wife several times a days, plus i use slacker for 1 hours in the morning and 1 hour coming back on top of AP news and the kindle app and by 10:30pm i have 40% left. and the biggest drained in battery is the BLDG where i work had almost no signal, when i had my Pre the phone would be dead by 11am.

Thanks for the kernel kingklick this one and netarchy are my Fav.

What widgets are you using for ur power controls?
[EVO 4G Android Development] notasimpleway:
If you have a few bucks to spend on an app to change the governor, yes. An app called Android Hacker's System Tool. You can set the governor to any built into the kernel. I use it and not SetCPU just for this purpose. However, it does also have a minfree setting in another tab that will interfere with AutoKiller or Auto Memory Manager so you should experiment with it to see if it interferes for you. It has for me. But you should be able to remove which ever and just use Android Hacker's.

That's switchpro, it's the bomb.com. It brings up color wheels so that you change the indicator color and the widget color separately, and there is a background option. I highly recommend it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rebosxl:
This is unreal! I have been using setcpu to change the governor in bfs 6 to performance and underclock to 800 just for this morning because im on the bus for over a hour. Im bored so I took my phone off the charger when I left home at 66 percent exactly a hour ago using my back up charger (rocket fish) and I've played music for about 10 minutes, browsed the internet and played super street fighter 2 (ryu just owned me :( ) for the rest of the 50 minutes and I just dropped 2 percent. Wowwwwww! Never have I seen such great battery life! Might be a fluke but still....king just earned a donation! :)

I must call BS on this....I just have to..my phone drops 2% OFF. No way you've done all that and lost 2%. Not calling you a liar, it's just hard to believe.

You're running Kingz #6 you say? I'm on # 9. with profiles in SetCPU. My profiles are attached. If you look at that image...i'm at 89% and pulled it off charge less than 2hrs ago...no calls or texts YET!!!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] onyx00:
Sorry, not finding the reference to this zip, can you help me out with a more direct link?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tracerit:
is it worth it to use SetCPU? someone said in another forum that using SetCPU negates the effects of HAVS. All I'm using with SetCPU is having the CPU at 245Mhz max/min when the screen is off and at 500Mhz max/245Mhz min when the battery is below 40%.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
King said it himself. You don't need SetCPU, HAVS will take care of the CPU scaling. I am not using Setcpu or OCW and my battery life is still amazing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Right. But you can't overclock without some program. I use oc widget. Setcpu was causing all kinds of issues for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
You're right, but I haven't seen any benefits so far from overclocking, and I would imagine it takes more battery.

Do pages load faster in the browser with a higher clock speed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dagnasty:
I attempted to flash the zip but got the line 15 error, and now my phone will not charge via PC USB and will not mount the SD card either :\ Trying to fix it at the moment, tried this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695243 but it did not fix it
[EVO 4G Android Development] felacio:
I was ready to cone on here and proclaim the excellent battery life I was getting with this kernel and sing the praises of the HAVS and such.. but, sadly that wasn't the case for me. BUT, I don't think it was the kernels fault. I also installed Tasker and Beautiful Widgets. May e ut was a combination of the 3 or just the 2. But when Transparency in BW was turned on, "suspend" in my system processes would hold the cpu at 90-100% usage at all time. I didn't catch this until it had eaten my battery down to 20%

So, i'll recharge and give it another shot. Before the suspend locked my cpu it seemed like it was going to hold out really well..

King? is there any chance you will be implementing the fps unlock with this kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] justin007827:
This kernel has dramatically improved my battery life. Thanks king for your work on this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tyzing:
Still the best Kernel I've tried but I have a question.

Anyone else see more of a change from 50% and below? It's odd...also it seems to really go down with usage

Keep in mind with my statements its only trying to figure out why so much, I'm still getting over 20 hours!

Also, it seemed like this sucker will charge in no time!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
From now on out if your reporting how good or bad the battery life is, can you also mention if you are using setcpu and profiles? thanks! That extra information really helps. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tyzing:
No because SETcpu doesnt work with this ROM
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
And how do you figure that? It works fine, just no Overclock.You can still have profiles..You can still underclock..
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
Flashed just fine for me. DC 3. 5, ar recovery. Linpack consistent around 32. Quadrant 1265 ish. 30 dos with 2.35 stdev. Will see what battery does after full charge tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ratzinc:
Any truth in if you raise fps cap then battery life goes down?

Call me crazy but I underclock my phone to save battery life (around 800) and i get great battery life...maybe two versions of the kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] M@XLOL:
did not use set cpu had everything on push and background data enabled all 18+ hours
[EVO 4G Android Development] felacio:
Ok.. this kernel really does feel sluggish compared to Netarchy and BakedKernel. I don't think I can handle how slow the phone feels. The numbers are there, Quadrant, Linpack etc. But it just takes awhile to come out of lock, move between screens, when it was locked and I had music playing. The music would stutter sometimes.. as I am typing, I can see a huge lag between key presses. I dunno, I think im going back to Netarchy 4.0.3. Was getting decent battery and far less lag. Im definitely keeping an eye on this though..

I've had some random days where my phone had amazing battery life and days where it hasnt (like today) This is my 3rd time trying Kings #9 and it flat out doesnt give me good battery life at all. I've tried it without SetCPU, with SetCPU, with profiles, etc. I have had good luck with his #6 kernel. I'll be flashing it here shortly, give it a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rebosxl:
Your not calling me a liar ur just saying what I said is bs...how is that any better? It seems to be a fluke, because I've neverrrrrrr had anything like that happen this kernel BUT today is my first day using setcpu in that fashion.

P.S. my phone did come back down to earth and drained regularly. It seems to be one of those right off the charger super amazing battery life for a while then a draining then stabilize lol. Just that this instance was just BIZARRE

My Second Battery Life Report On King BFS #9

Look for my first report in earlier pages of this thread.

Using King BFS #9 without setCPU.

One thing I noticed is that my battery drains as fast as it does on stock kernel from 100 to 69%. After that it drains really slow about 3% an hour. I do not notice a decrease in performace after hitting 60s so I dont think battery seems to drain slower because of King's battery saving tweaks, or he is doing so damn good that he needs to move that profile to cover the 70-100 % charge region. My guess its something to do with how the kernel is interpreting the battery level and nothing more.

After a full charge and a whole day at work, this is what I have:

Battery lvl = 13%

Since Unplugged = 16h 11m

Voice Calls = 1h 53m

Phone Idle = 14h 32m

bluetooth = 13h 16m

Display = 1h 38m

Did not do any web browsing. Called a lot, was in the lab where sprint has no service for a few hours. Texted about 5~8 sms. poked around the phone with apps and what not and showing off to iOS users for ~2h (phone not idle).

At 13% I think it still has 2 more hours in it before it dies on me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Albymn:
I was having trouble with 9 not letting me use my set CPU. Is there a reason for it ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lokitoorg:
Ok so i been reading about this kernel and SetCpu, is better to have it or not have it??

I have mine with Setcpu only 2 profiles, screen off goes down to 245mhz and the other Battery 50% goes down to 500mhz.

with this i got 40% left after 14 hours of medium or heavy use.

Have any of you guys have done a test to see if Setcpu helps or not?
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
Pulling #6 down now. We'll see how it differs. If this doesn't work wonders, I'm going to try Netarchys 4.1.9 beta
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Some EVO phones do not like HAVS. I know my Evo is one of them. I think that is why some are having bad experiences with kernels that use HAVS.

Using either King's #9 or Netarchy's 4.19 BFS, my phone hates it after a while. Fast at first, then slows down more and more as it is being used. Reboot, same thing...fast and then slow and erratic.

It runs fast for a while, but as soon as it switches from being used to sleeping when I shut the screen off, my phone starts being very sluggish and unresponsive. But if I use any other King kernel (especially 7 or 8) or Netarchy 4.18 (without HAVS) my phone flies!

I am sure HAVS does wonders for battery life, but my phone does not like being fed low voltage apparently. I am not using Set CPU or anything that could cause the problems.

I think that is why King's #9 is so hit or miss with everyone. If your phone is acting sluggish, try an older Kernel, start with #8 and work your way down until your phone works well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leeh41:
Same here. I noticed much better battery once I removed SetCPU. From System Panel, I notice my CPU does not have cycles when locked once I remove SetCPU.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Other than trying to impress people you will not likely meet offline, I think overclocking your CPU is utterly pointless. In benchmarks you will see a difference, in practice you will never be able to tell the difference. 1.0 Ghz is plenty fast enough, until more powerful apps come out (that take advantage of the upcoming 2 GHz and dual core phones that are coming out likely next year or at the end of this one) it is basically pointless imo.

SetCPU is a great program, the profile settings are nice. But if the maker of the kernel is telling you not to use it, there is a good reason for it! Without HAVS, yes SetCPU may work to give you better battery (underclocking). But HAVS is basically doing what SetCPU is doing. They interfere with each other and you are defeating the purpose. Too bad my phone hates HAVS, but that is another topic.

All overclocking is doing is eating your battery up faster for basically no perceivable gain. That and you are running your phone hotter, the more heat the less your phone lives. I overclocked too, realized quickly it was simply not worth it. That and who knows of the long term effects of overclocking? I want to make a CPU cooler for my Evo!

Just my $.02
[EVO 4G Android Development] notasimpleway:
Thank you. I have been saying this for a while now. I don't think everyone realizes that overclocking for a mere 11% is not really noticeable. And especially not for the cost of the battery. 1 Ghz is fast enough. Overclocking back when I was on the Hero was worth it. It had a 528 Mhz processor and could be overclocked to 768 Mhz. I think that is about 45-6% increase. Really good overclocking. But not 11-12%. Just adding my $.02 to ricsim78's for a total of $.04. :D

Has anyone else noticed that Kernel #7 BFS is Kernel #8 BFS? I flashed my phone with #7 BFS and #8 is what is showing up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] meatgel:
If I remember correctly, this was just because he forgot to edit the file to show it was #8, but it isn't just #7 again. It was mentioned in the thread when #7 first came out ... but that is 100s of post ago! This is a tough thread to keep up with all of the comments. :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] sstory792:
Yes indeed it runs very smooth and fast.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sstory792:
You shouldn't need to unless you have problems after. Probably just reboot once removed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Albymn:
Okay. So I'm running fresh Rom and kernel #9 and at first was having problems with CPU and my clock widget and other was over lapping. I removed my set CPU and reflash the kernel. Hope this will fix it
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
I have also had your issue (phone working fine for some time, then slowing down) with BFS #9. However, I think you're wrong about HAVS being the issue. If you look at the Change log you will see that HAVS has actually been in all BFS kernels, including #1. But I've been using #4 for a while and it's perfect!

So I don't know what the issue with #9 is, but it's not HAVS...
[EVO 4G Android Development] boosted98taco:
Running BFS Kernel #9... Thanks King!!!! Truly incredible Kernel... Great job!
[EVO 4G Android Development] firsttimer44:
I personally love these kernals kings is putting out. Unfortunately my phone hates them. No matter which ROM I am using, once one of these kernals is flashed, problems start popping up. Very very very annoying random reboots happen continuously. I get so mad about random reboots I almost threw my phone out the window. I have times when the screen will just completely turn off altogether and a battery pull becomes necessary. I am so frustrated that I have yet to find the right kernal with any sense rom. I like sense better than cm6, but I just can't seem to find the right ROM + Kernal combo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
I figured that out right after I posted. I think if it is not HAVS it is the amount of voltage. Sounds like we have similar Evo's , I will have to try #4 to see how it is.

I like working together to solve problems and make my phone work the way I want.
[EVO 4G Android Development] firestetz:
Just installed tonight loving it so far with fresh 3.2 best kernel that I have found.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Yup, I haven't been happier with #4. I thought to try #6 after #9 wasn't working, but I figured a) some people did report issues with #6 b) I liked #4, so I went back to what I was comfortable and familiar with.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
King has a total of 17 kernels just in this thread, plus one dedicated specifically for Sense ROMs in another thread (it's in beta, based on HTC's newest kernel). Have you tried them all, or at least a sample? What I mean is, if BFS doesn't work for you try CFS. Or if the newer BFS kernels don't work, try some of the older ones. (I had issues with #9 but not with #4.)

If nothing else works, try Netarchy's kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
Been using #9 for a little while now. Getting really great battery life. Almost 27 hours on one charge. That includes a few calls, some texts, a few hours worth of web, tethering for an hour and various other little things.

From my Evo to your eyeballs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nitty917:

CFS #8

I have an issue using cfs #8 kernel. Tried flashing this numerous of times and always have a issue with lag. I used systempanellite to check cpu usage and the cpu throttles everytime from low to max every few seconds each time I flash this kernel. I am using fresh 3.2. And before I get asked, I did every wipe possible and have the same issue. I've been using your bfs #9 kernel and it's great but cfs is a better choice for me. Hope you can fix this issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Just going to throw it out there that you are asking which kernel runs the fastest + best battery life, which kinda are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

Secondly, (gonna hate to hear this I know) no matter what anyone tells you about their specific experience, the kernel will almost certainly perform differently for you. This could be due to usage patterns, device specifications.. What have you, but my perfect kernel no=no your perfect kernel.

My advice would be to try them out when you don't really really need your phone.

All that said, bfs9 was perfect for me until about day three when superlag set in. cfs7 is my favorite in regards to batter life. Netarchy's newest bfs is like king 9bfs without the lag of death.. So far.

Hope I helped

Issues w 9

I have rebooting issues with 9 and tried everything to resolve the issue with no luck. Esp with OC widget I run 1.2ghx and then it freezes up and then endless reboot. Ive cleared all my cache and wiped clean with still same issues. At this point I have given up on 9 and been testing 4 so far. 4 seems pretty good for the most part. Was on #6 with no issues. Any luck on the progress for a working HDMI out? Just out of curiosity. I searched all over the net with not much luck. Im using OMJ's v3.1 ROM. I love it!
