Why would you put your Max at 245? I understand screen off and the charging, but why underclock that much? Doesn't that make the phone really slow? Maybe you just had a typo?

I'm getting less than stellar battery life on 6 relatively speaking in comparison to 5
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Well I know some of you have seen my battery posts, so you know when it comes to batteries, I fully understand the subjectivity of battery life but know how to maximize mine.. Something odd happened to me today, and it's really ironic because I turned off my system panel's charting to see the effect it had the night before.

This morning at five, I woke up, and charged my phone to 100%, then performed the calibration technique of unplugging and plugging it in as I have done ten times. At six I unplugged it for the last time, and went on my way to school. During the ride I played some NOVA, and when I got there an hour later, I was suspiciously down to about 85 percent. I put my phone on airplane mode until 3. From there I watched Hulu off my phone for 30 or so minutes, played 30 minutes of Nova, and had a ten minute phone call. Then my phone died. Before it did so, I got some screenies of the battery screen which I will post when my phone comes back alive. It says it was on for 11 hrs, with 230 minutes awake time.

I was running #4, which I have been for a week without issue. In fact, some of the best life ever.

I flashed five and am letting it charge, will report back. Weird.

Uninstall Setcpu and install Juice defender.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Something is wrong with juice defender. It conflicts with widgets and mainly radios. Unless you have screen on = data on, which kinda defeats the purpose, data doesn't work right.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
its time for a CFS update
[EVO 4G Android Development] sturmen:
Is there any reason to choose CFS? BFS seems to be the latest and greatest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
If you have Baseball Superstars 2010 then I'd go with the CFS as I have that and have yet to get a BFS kernel to work well with that game as it locks up on start up 9/10 times on BFS kernels while CFS ones its more stable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
playing 2009 demo right now using #6 BFS
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
I just want people to be able to choose CFS or BFS

:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
Then it must be how the game handles coming back from a saved game as I have the FULL version and have been playing the My League portion and it locks up on the start menu. I'm sure to clear both cache's and flipped between BFS kernels and CFS kernels and each time loading on the BFS ones causes it to lock up at the 2nd menu most of the time.

Maybe BFS can't handle the minute 1036 OC whereas the CFS can fine on my phone when handeling the game but I dont think thats the case here. Also went through uninstalling SetCPU and reinstalling it for the heck of it and same results. Its just a BFS issue as the CFS kernels give no problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Just_s:
Choice is good. Choice is very good.

Especially in light of how each of the kernels seem to have their supporters. Hopefully people will start to realize that it is the individual hardware as much as anything, which affects performance and battery.

Nandroid and titanium are your friends

Identify a "go to" set up and nandroid it

Test things out

Enjoy your EVO!

YMMV - Your Mileage may vary

Edit: deleted original post when i realized it was friday and i should chill
[EVO 4G Android Development] Djay45:
I always reboot again after flash a kernel cause this always happens with either kings or netarchy's. Maybe its a byproduct of wiping both cache? I dunno, but I just expect to reboot again after flashing a kernel or rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] willy900wonka:
Just installed the BFS 6 on two Newly rooted 2.2 evos. Once I finished installing the stock 2.2 from the Wager's guide to rooting 2.2 thread, I applied the kernel. They are running smooth can't wait for the battery stats. Though that will probably be in a week cause that's when they return to visit.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Haha sorry if it seemed like I was insulting you or something, when I said you were an outlier to people who won't ever get things, that was a compliment.

And I don't know what YMMV stands for

Your Mileage may Vary - see original post ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Ah ok, thanks.

Jeeze I hope my battery isn't all effed up. From that bad run I had I'm kinda afraid to flash kernels now. Ima go make a nandroid, then go with the new eight cause seven had the best battery life so far
[EVO 4G Android Development] Djay45:
Just flashed CFS #8 from CFS #7. I wiped both cache twice and rebooted twice. Seeing some strange lag, like a process that keeps tying up CPU time. It'll be silky smooth then slowdown and stutter, just while scrolling apps or anything scrolling really. Linpacks will go from 15-37 mflops. Anyone else seeing this with CFS #8?

Going to reflash it again and see if it clears that up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] funcrusher:
Experienced the same strange lag in 8.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Just_s:
LOL, I believe there are quite a few "outliers" on XDA and some "originals" too. LOL Not nearly as many sheep and lemmings here as in some of the other forums. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] felacio:
Same issue. Feels like crap :sad:

It'll be super nice, High FPS in quadrant for a few seconds. Then lag terribly.

Average Fps2D is 49, stdev of 8.50 which is terrible when my average was 53 with a stdev of 2.80 or less.

Previous Quadrants of 1480 now my average is 1070.

I know numbers mean little and if it wasn't for the odd and, rather severe bursts of lag I would stick with it. Especially if battery life was great. Which, I don't think I'll ever know.. cause the phone feels too bad to continue using.. anybody have a fix?. Systemapanel doesn't help.

[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
NEW cfs kernel #8 is live!

:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Djay45:
Wiped cache again, reflashed #8. Saw the same strange lag. Tried to reboot and got stuck at the splash screen. I went back to #7 CFS for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Djay45:
Ok, I'll re-d/l and try this one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] felacio:
Will too..

[EVO 4G Android Development] Antebios:
Will this be included in CM 6.x ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] martijua:
I flashed this using amon ra 1.7.0.2. I did get the error during flash, something about line 15 or something, but the kernal did load.

I can confirm that ADB no longer works on my phone. Hopefully that can be fixed.

It is locked at 30FPS but thats not a big deal to me as I'd rather have better battery life.

I'm using SteelH 2.2 Rev.E and so far everything is working great.

Thanks!

edit:

I noticed that even though my profiles in SetCPU have 245 as the lowest that it never gets there and that my cpu only goes down to 384.

Not a big deal if this kernal uses less power at 384 than netachys does at 245.
[EVO 4G Android Development] craigbailey1986:
I tried it and I didnt see any difference in battery life... BUT i did just read on pg 21 or 22 that you have to let it charge fully before you see it actually implimented. I will check that and if so OP may need to change.

I know OP doesnt have an evo yet so any constructive criticism or results would be beneficial to US all!;)

EDIT: About to try with Damage3.5
[EVO 4G Android Development] occamsrzr:
I flashed the KingX kernel on my EVO with the RevE.1 ROM, it gave me the error on flashing, said installation aborted. When I rebooted the phone and looked in settings/software info the kernel did indeed flash.

I can also confirm I lost ADB. :(

For now I'll flash netarchy's kernel 4.0.3a until this ADB killer gets fixed and hopefully an FPS fix comes soon.

Also, KingX, I was wondering about the fix posted on github for the stagefright bug? Any way you'd consider incorporating that as well? (Just a suggestion of course) The only who has done this is the CM nightly, and that ROM just isn't my thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
Thank god there is a moderator in here tyring to clean this thread up.

I for one love the idea of more people making Kernels and RoMs.

Thank you for making this kernel, please keep it updated~ looking forward to an OC/FPS unlocked version before I take the plunge and flash it.

Good luck on getting your new EVO!@
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ceger:
FPS unlock with working HDMI and 5 point multi touch would make this a must have.

[EVO 4G Android Development] joackie27:
That was me (ap0calyps375) who twitted cyanogen about his thoughts on HAVS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Interesting. Flashing on DC. And +1 on FPS unlock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ceger:
Hero_Over's kernel 2 scales smoothly as well. It is what I am currently using with Fresh 3.1.0.1

Ceger
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
wondering this as well....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Beejis:
Not sure. Try amon-ra if it's not (that's what I did), I prefer it anyway since I have had issues with clockwork not wiping completely.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Beejis:
Good stuff, hopefully this will be incorporated into the snap kernel then (we'll see). And for those who prefer sense, hopefully this will get oc'd and fps hack and have adb commands work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah I get that Amon will do it I just prefer clockwork b/c of the folder navigation ability to flash stuff. if Amon included that in a update I'd switch over possibly then.

Makes me wonder if you can't flash it with clockwork if you did amon then switched back to clockwork could you get a good nand backup using clockwork and restore it even using clockwork or are you pinned to using only amon for any recovery/backup you do that has this kernel in it...

although it being so early and king not even having an Evo i'm sure this is an issue that will be fixed.

Great work king can't wait till you get more into it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
:( i really wish king would go AOSP

Android should always be senseless... Leave TF3D for WinMo:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] joackie27:
That's what I am looking forward to (HAVS + Snap on CM6). :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] chummer360:
I'm also running on EViO, do you see any difference? I'm currently using setcpu, do I have to uninstall setcpu?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joackie27:
Maybe king and jmxp69 can collaborate on a Snap + HAVS kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] craigbailey1986:
This is a great rom. Being that I have tried them all, I can honestly say so far I am having the best battery life... but only time will tell :)

O everything is working on my end...did get an error though when flashing but nothing seems to be out of wack!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] craigbailey1986:
I was running the kernel on that earlier but didnt see a difference, though someone did say that you have to let it fully charge before you see the difference....

hope thats useful...:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] felacio:
You sure you changed the link? The new #8 is the same file size as the old #8

Also performs the exact same. Silky smooth that choppy and laggy.

Getting about 30% less battery life with #6 than I did was #5, flashed back to #5 and all seems to be back to normal
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Alright so I have proof of my problem. If you saw my post a couple posts pages back, I was successfully running bfs 4 for a week, then this one day I got horrible battery life. Flashed to 5 to see if it would help, calibrated my battery and got it to 100%, then went to bed. First two pics are the first time this happened to me, before the reflash:

Notice the awake time...

Here is what I woke up to after not using my phone:

So I guess it must be an app? Or but it doesn't say anything was using CPU..?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chandlerw88:
I'm using this also, Is the new cfs kernel not playing as nice as it normally does or is it just me
[EVO 4G Android Development] chummer360:
Flashed the cfs8, it was lagging and choppy so I went back to bfs5.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ceger:
If you are running Fresh 3.2.0.0 you should not be using any kernel other than what comes with Fresh. Wait until custom kernels are updated off the new on in the soon to be released OTA that Fresh 3.2.0.0 is based on.

To be clear, custom kernels will install and run, but you might be breaking something elsewhere dependent on the newer kernel, or getting poorer performance than the newer kernel base. It would be like putting a battery with the wrong amps into an electronics device. I would really recommend waiting or ensuring you have a nandroid of stock 3.2.0.0

[EVO 4G Android Development] minhgi:
Running fresh 3. 2 with bfs6
[EVO 4G Android Development] Just_s:
Wow! That CPU usage is insane! Your EVO was humming on something that night! and it starts after that sudden gap around 4:30am. Was there possibly something scheduled at that time? A backup (i.e. Lookout or Titanium, etc.)? That can sometimes set things off. Or maybe a power outage/spike.

I had a similar event when I was on BakedSnack and Netarchy awhile back. It was pretty arduous trying to identify the culprit. I basically ended up starting from scratch and then restoring apps via Titanium. I had around 60 that had never given me issues so I installed all of those right away and let it go over night. After that, I reinstalled an app every couple of hours until they were all back. I never identified the offending battery drainer, but the process did fix the issue.

I suppose that the wipe and re-flash process was the true fix for the issue. Probably not what you want to hear. LOL In any case I am not aware of anything in a kernel that would suddenly cause something to run in the background. Probably just a perfect storm of sorts.

I'd do a nandroid+Titanium, then reflash ROM and Kernel, but that's me and I'm a flashaholic. :)

Also, do you use any other tracking apps? You might want to download Android System Information and between the resident battery stats, System Panel, JuiceDefender and ASI, you might be able to see something. I also recommend Autostarts for some users. Good luck!

EDIT: You know, I also notice a couple differences between the two sets of screenshots. The battery indicator on the left side of the notification bar has changed and Lookout is absent in the second set. I always hear about battery apps causing various issues. Did the switch between battery tracking apps coincide with the event?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Yeah, I installed a quite a few eh hem blapk market apps, but they were mostly updates, then I installed lookout. But the first drain was before lookout so it can't be the culprit.. Sigh. I wiped everything and then titaniumed, and only restored non-conflicting system apps, and only data on games. Hopefully that will fix it. I'm going to charge it to 100, go mow my lawn (it will take awhile, it's ridiculous) and then come back and see. I don't see how reflashing is different than wiping everything though.

Something else odd happened. Before I titaniumed, I did a prl/profile update. Since I have gotten my new EVO (month) it has never been able to update these via the normal method. I had to have a sprint rep basically do the trick to get the 1.4 PRI to get them to update. However, it worked this time, and then I ran a speedtest and I got my old 7 mb/s on 4G, which i haven't had since initial Froyo OTA. Weird.

And now I'm getting lockups on wake.. WTF man
[EVO 4G Android Development] sqweez:
I have been using this for a couple days and my battery life is just awesome. I do a lot of everything on my phone and it my battery doesn't even go under 50 percent. Just unbelievable!

Awesome work my friend
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
CFS 8 its been laggy and look at my CPU activity after it was installed :eek:

Also look at system processes usage. Too high.
[EVO 4G Android Development] otaylor10:
Can a couple people post their setcpu profiles so I can get an idea of what mine should look like. Currently I get about 6hrs of battery life I desperately need help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Don't overclock, set a profile for when its sleep and when its overheating. Simple dnt go crazy wprofiles, I usually get about 15 hrs or so.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bwtl1000r:
I had 100% cpu utilization with #8 as well. Couldn't find which app was responsible for it. Continuing to run v6 which has been very stable so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Same here looks like what ever it is its under "system processes"
[EVO 4G Android Development] chandlerw88:
I appreciate the heads up but I only had problems with the new cfs kernel. It wasn't a huge update but with the bfs kernel installed I'm getting way better battery life while overclocking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hooover:
CFS vs BFS whats the call....What gives the better battery life?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
I'd like to post the question around a little bit for comparative pup roses...

Can some people list what kernels they have tested, and what gave them the best battery life?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chandlerw88:
I'm using the latest bfs with fresh 3.2 been off the charger since around 10:40 and I'm at like 65% with pretty moderate usage over clockin at 1075. Juice plotter estimates a little over 5 more hours of life. I think I've found my dream setup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hooover:
My only issue is that the overclock that little...are you seeing any benefits?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chandlerw88:
This is a better pic, but yeah I feel like i definitely have improved slicker scrolling especially on the internet which is what I use my phone mostly for, but when I want to play a game like nova ill kick it up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Just curious, why would you even want to overclock the Evo? Not flamin or anything, cause I have my reasons. For example, I will turn it up when playing an HD 3D game like NOVA, but other than that, when can your processor not handle a task?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chandlerw88:
Yeah it really does but like I said I honestly feel like its that much slicker on my phone and in my opinion everything runs faster. But your method is similar to mine, so maybe there isn't a difference and its all in my head

Edit: yeah I honestly see a difference in scrolling on my device over stock just by oc'ing by that little. And it doesn't over heat or drain my battery I think ill just stick with my own insecurities.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tlxxxsracer:
Could someone explain the difference between the BFS and CFS kernals?? Right now im running the latest bfs on fresh 3.1.0.2- as of now 5hrs since i unplugged with light usage- aim running in background screen off. cellstandby 37%, phone idle 34%, android system 17%. setcpu i have screen off 245-max/min powersave. i have 3 bars under battery info.

Suggestions?

[EVO 4G Android Development] felacio:
So.. is ANYONE having any success with #8?

I haven't seen anyone say they have been able to get this running well. fyi, I moved to Netarchy 4.9.1 to test. Haven't seen anything "special" except some crappy battery life. Ill tweak and see if it helps.. if not, I'm going back to King BFS #6

...in 1943, I killed a drifter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i was on both sides of the fence on this at one time. When i was heavy into my benchmark phase ( i think everyone goes through this when they first hack their phone) i was OC'ing like a mofo, now i want solid performance and good battery life. I am planning on running around 850 using juice cpu toggle to try and max battery life. Right now Fresh 3.2 might be that dream setup. Been off the charger for almost 12 hours and sitting at about 30%. Granted, about 7 of those hours was sleeping, but i only lost about 8-10 % and i just setup the cpu throttle down on screen sleep just now. I see benefits of both, but i am trying to strike, i think like all, that perfect balance of battery life and power

CFS8 was giving me lag when switching screens, i dropped back to BFS4 since it had gave me the best results. trying decide on if i should go up to BFS6
[EVO 4G Android Development] wirenut110:
I've used BAKEDBATTERY, KING CFS 6, KING CFS 7, KING BFS 5, KING BFS 6, NETARCHY 4.191, and NETARCHY 4.18.

For me, KINGS CFS 6 has had the best battery life.

I charge my phone until it goes green every night (10pm) then I disconnect. When I awake at 6:00am it is usually around 92%. I normally receive about 300emails (gmail app) during business hours (7:30a - 4:00p) and I do light texting. No movies, no games, no music. I surf the web occasionally. By 3pm im normally down to 13%.

I haven't used setcpu or juice defender yet as I read mixed reviews. I may readup on it tonight and give it a whirl.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
If the kernel source is released for the new HTC/sprint update in fresh's new ROM, that might have them all beat

I have used Baked Kernel#1 and 2 from BakedSnack 1.1 and 1.2, Netarchy 3.7.5 thru 4.9.1, KingxKlick CFS #1 THRU #8 and BFS 1 thru 6.

I seem to have gotten the best battery life from Kings CFS #6 as well. #7 was probably 2nd. While his BFS 6 might have been 3rd. The newest CFS #8 so far is a dud. Sorry King. Its terrible for me.

I'm currently on 4.9.1 from Netarchy. Feels good, no idea on battery yet.
