running cfs#11 and everything is smooth as butter.. everything is quick, camera even taking better pics ( faster focusing ), good quadrant scores ( without overclock )...

cant imagine this kernel combined with the 3500mah battery that i ordered.. might get 4 days with it..
[EVO 4G Android Development] yubby:
I have a 3500 battery off of eBay. I was getteing 23-26 hours with cfs #10.. hope cfs #11 can get better than that?

This kernel is great! Keep up the good work.

Finally after fresh insta everything run so smooth, at Nenamark i got 20.4 fps never reach that number before, im not OC just ussing SetCPU on conservative way trying to get longest battery life, i can not imagine how can be running with Kings rom if he does not release to everybody this weekend ill be donating to get it

WHAT A GREAT JOB KING, ERES LO MAXIMO LOCO :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
did you get the official Siedo battery or the knock off ??

i ordered the official one just to be safe.. one of my customers gets like 2days or more on one charge unrooted
[EVO 4G Android Development] lido:
working great so far-smooth and longlasting, but I do have a question/problem.

when I went to check on the battery stats (thru settings), it's showing the android system at 94%. that doesn't sound good. anyone can help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] david black:
Cool. This will be my first kernel flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
I could see how that would be a problem. Good explanation. I only use a screen off/charging profile, so I think i'm safe :)

What is with all the animosity towards SetCPU now a days? just because a kernel has HAVS does not render SetCPU useless. It is a fantastic program and I for one am glad it exists to help us get more control over our phones. I use it to overclock and to keep the CPU in check. Nothing wrong with that and it does not harm my battery life either. HTC tells you not to root, and provides you with a kernel of their own that they think you should keep. Do you keep it? Do you listen to any and everything someone who makes what you're using tells you? No. This is no different.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yubby:
I got the knock off. It was around $10 with battery door. I bought two of them.

sent from my evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
I dont see any animosity, I see common sense.

The developer of the kernel says dont use SetCPU for his kernels with HAVS.

It doesn't get any simpler for me.

I can see why HTC would say dont root.

I can't see why King would say don't use SetCPU. (aside from the HAVS issue)

The two scenarios are not even remotely related.

We are free to do as we choose, of course.

SetCPU IS a great app and worthy of purchase, which I did.

When I'm on King's kernel I dont use it, when I'm on a HAVS-less kernel I do.

[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
Okay lets get something straight for all of you that can't read. He never said to NOT use SetCPU as a whole like you guys are blasting over and over. He simply said that there might be a problem using SetCPU's Profile feature. Even more so he went on to say you can STILL USE SetCPU to change the govenor used on the phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
I think I might do a fresh install of my ROM and kernel because something seems to be affecting my battery negatively. It's not HORRIBLE but I had better battery life with stock HTC #11 for some reason. Other than that I love this new kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] WhiteEVO:
Running VirusRom Sense 1.0 and Kings #11. Gotta say this is the best so far! Smooth as silk, great battery life! Love it King... thanks! How's the Evo Rom coming along?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MercuryTangent:
I agree with everything you posted except for the above.

I was one of a rare group that couldn't play the system-intense games without noticeable sluggishness and stuttering unless I was OC'd. At 1.15 Performance every game was smooth, but anything less was noticeably buggy to the point of being unenjoyable to play.

I will add that with Kings #11 on Conservative these games are playing smoothly. If this keeps up I will join the ranks of those who no longer OC. My ultimate point is, for some folks, there is a noticeable difference, and, for me, it was either OC or abandon the games I liked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] david black:
@ricsim78

Just to validate your point, I installed setcpu after updating to King#11 and froze my entire phone (due to my overclocking). Luckily I had just made a nandroid backup.

So I'll be taking the advice about not using setcpu with this kernel.

Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
ofcouse itll freeze when ur phone cant handle the gigz lol.. I think people just need to know how to use setcpu, ive used it since day one and dont have a prob battery and performance...
[EVO 4G Android Development] david black:
It's never frozen any of my other ROMs, only with this kernel it has. I'm actually quite satisfied with the performance and battery life with this combo, Fresh and King#11, so I don't miss setcpu.

Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
Anyone saying that SetCPU does not help with battery consumption is delusional. I have constantly turned it on and off for testing and the difference is light and day. Especially when the screen is on. The processor runs at full 998mhz when SetCPU isn't scaling it. When the screen is turned off, it rarely lies at 245mhz, as can be forced with SetCPU.

I don't see any stability difference with SetCPU either, so I don't know what all the crying is about.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thephantom007:
I had read all the posts here and my question is, some one had try this new kernel on stock rom, cuz i see all u guys have dif rom, im using the stock rom cuz its the only one that it fit my needs and i wanna know if this will improve my battery a lil bit. I tryed the last version but my battery drained really fast so i dont wanna have the same issue, thanks a lot
[EVO 4G Android Development] VOODOOTRIP:
I am using a stock rom. Battery life is still under testing. I have had a weird issue of some random reboots though under heavy internet usage. Any one else experience this? Didn't have any problems on# 10. Tried a.cache wipe and reflash. Still doing it this morning.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Funny, no one is "crying" about using SetCPU. I wanted to list MY reasons for not using it or recommending it to others. That and I was accused of having animosity towards it.

I NEVER said that you cannot get better battery life with it, just saying it is hard to set it correctly for your handset thanks to the fact that every Evo is different. Even if you think you have it dialed in, it could be off enough to make a major difference.

As I stated, my stance is that is an amazing program and does exactly what it states it does. It can get you better battery life (Even with kernels that have HAVS) and it can make your phone faster (I see some people noticed a difference. I was able to get my phone to 1250 MHz and it benched faster but did not overall "look" any faster. Again, all Evo's are different and YMMV.)

The point is it also a dangerous program for the reasons I mentioned. I am like all of you, constantly trying to make my phone better/faster/etc., but I see this as a great program that is dangerous in nature for those who do not know what they are doing. Even if you do know what you are doing, you can set it wrong or run into many of the problems I listed in my post.

If you want to use it, good please do! If it helps you out, use it. Just do not act like just because you use and endorse it that there is no other way!

As I stated, you can do what you want. I am not going to tell you what to do with your phone; throw it in a fire and dance naked around it if it pleases you :p Just funny how you state your take on things and people get rude. I never got rude trying to get my point across. If you do not agree with me about what I said, so be it. I accept your opinion and respect it, because that IS what it is overall...opinion.

Oh, and Sgt. Slaughter, I can read. Thanks anyhow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
How is it opinion when there are numbers supporting the facts? SetCPU use WILL increase battery life according to JuicePlotter, Android, etc. That's not opinion, that is fact.

Whether you choose to use it or not, is your prerogative. But don't say that it leads to instability, doesn't impact battery life, etc.

I'm not attacking you or anyone specifically, I'm just trying to correct some of the misinformation that seems to be going around.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
There are also numbers supporting the fact that SetCPU can cause problems and I did not make any of the problems up! Notice I did not get many disagreements about the dangers? I know of a few people who messed up their phone using SetCPU, they have posted on here worried that they were rooted and asked what they should do in case Best Buy finds out. If it was completely safe to use, you would not hear such stories. I think we can agree to disagree on this matter?

Sometimes when the negatives outweigh the positives, or when things are good enough, it is better to just leave well enough alone. In order to get benefits from SetCPU, you have to test it yourself. For example, me taking your settings and using them may or may not work well for me. You are doing it right, using tools to measure your battery life and setting it using said tools. How many do that though?

I really do not want to argue about anything, especially SetCPU. If you want to use it, use it but do not do so blindly. Always realize the potential dangers of what you are doing, that is my whole point. People blindly download it, ask what people have theirs set to, and then set it without knowing nothing about it. How do I know this? I did that myself and then realized (a tough pill to swallow) that I was better off without it. I was a noob once too, while you may have a complete understanding of what SetCPU can do that does not mean everyone does. It can cause instability and it will not always help with battery life, you have to set it right using a method like you used to get any benefits from it. I actually had major problems using it myself (which could have been my settings, user error) but that is my point. I did not do it right and I am sure there are many like me who did not/do not.

I also have a hard time recommending something that can mess up your phone, especially to people new to rooting and modding the Evo. It is a powerful tool but dangerous in nature, a fact that cannot be argued imo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasonziter:
I don't think it necessarily is fact. I was getting crappy life with setcpu and ANY of the havs kernal......WITH PROFILES ENABLED.....when I shut profiles down.....and ONLY used set CPU to overlook (with scaling option set at on demand) my bat life took a huge jump and trust me, I know how to setup the profiles appropriately.....it doesn't help. Profiles off.....problem solved....WITH A HAVS KERNAL.

Take this for qua you will, but its fact FOR ME.

KING can chime in any time to set the record straight once and for all.....that would be nice :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
I, personally, can definitely see a big difference in battery life using setCPU with just setting 2 profiles(screen off and temp) and keeping it at stock speeds or underclocked. I don't need my phone to be the fastest, I just want it to work to suit my needs. Anyways, we're all entitled to state our opinions and so long as nobody's flaming and the opinions are at least based on fact, I say variety is the spice of life and the more information and knowledge out there, the better off we all are.:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
What your saying isn't what others were saying before. thats the issue at hand. others were saying flat out to not use it b/c king said so(which wasn't true anyway).

The fact is that he said dont use the profiles with the kernels. Big difference between not using just 1 part of the app to not using it at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chummer360:
you said it, i have the same settings
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
I'm sorry if I didn't take into account people with the IQ below 20 when stating my post.

Obviously, if you're dramatically overclocking, setting your min. clock speeds really high, etc, you will decrease battery life.

But the vast of majority of people use SetCPU to mildly overclock when screen on or charging (1190/245), and underclock when screen off (245/245). This will ALWAYS save battery life, no matter what kernel, or phone you're using. Especially if you're using the conservative scaling.

King has never accused SetCPU of consuming more battery. His only claims are that if set incorrectly, it can lead to instability. This is true to anything that allows the end-user to manipulate how the hardware is operating.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Okay, can we get back talking about the kernel guys? How's the battery life on cfs #11? Any serious issues??
[EVO 4G Android Development] VOODOOTRIP:
See my last post about issues. I thought at first it was just internet use but any time I put a huge strain on processor it would reboot. I pulled up hawx and as soon as the game would start playing it would reboot. This was on a full straight off the charger battery.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jasonziter:
I set exactly how you explained above. No go. Bad life. No profiles with havs kernal equals good life. For my evo and kk11.

Watch the low blows buddy. Comment on iq shows your own. I stated how its been working for me with multiple kernels (havs). I also said take how you will....in your case...an insult.....good work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
@akarol: Throwing out insults to get your point across? Just wow. You are wrong because some Evo's are even unstable after hitting 1152 Mhz and there is no way there is a universal setting that is going to work for everyone. Besides, how is overclocking going to increase your battery life? Make sense if you are going to write something! Our IQ is high enough to realize your maturity level is quite low and your facts are way off.

Anyhow, agreed Tonwarr! Let us get back on topic, myself included. Let us argue about a phone program in a kernel thread!

It is the best kernel I have used so far. Stable, fast, no problems, and the smoothest performance I have seen from my Evo yet. Battery life is amazing as well, at idle it sips battery and even playing games, my battery is lasting longer than even the HTC#11 kernel.

To me, King's CFS #11 kernel is the best kernel I have used so far and I highly recommend it to everyone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigdaddie:
I tried CFS 11 and my phone was sluggish. I switched back to CFS 9 and all is well. I'll give it another go a bit later.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Did you wipe cache and Dalvik before you switched to it? Try that and if it is still acting sluggish, it may not be the right kernel for your Evo. Make sure you disable SetCPU, Juice Defender, or any other program like that before you install it.

Some Evo's require more juice than others to be stable, it is possible yours does not like the underclocking or some other change he made. In any case, it is a shame if it does not work for you. This makes my phone better in every way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
I'm gonna take one last whack at this dead horse:

I guess I can cancel my optometrist appointment. Maybe I missed future posts but when King said "Stop using Set CPU guys!" I took it at face value. Silly me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah he says that and THEN he says

so again its not that set cpu is bad b/c u need it to change the governor.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Oh wait, he never said that, you lie iknowsquat (hehe) :p

When the man who made the ROM says something, it is PROBABLY a good idea to listen to him.

@ Sgt. Slaughter: When did anyone say it was a bad program? You guys make me laugh that you get this bent out of shape because someone said something that you do not agree with. You are going to have a tough time in this world, at least you have a good phone and good kernel maker :)

Changing the governor is done on the first screen of SetCPU and would not involve any profiles, correct? Select conservative and then check the box to start at boot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Correct. If you want it to apply that setting every time, yes you want to click that option and you do not need profiles.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
THANK YOU!

Anyway, i'm getting the feeling that maybe this kernel wasn't built with SetCPU friendliness in mind. Which is why the warning about using it exists.

I went from netarchy's 4.1.9.1cfs to cfs#11 and my phone was unstable with SetCPU running (yes i cleared both of my profiles and even went as far as to uninstal+reinstall) and would get random reboots.

I'd like to consider myself one of the lucky ones when it comes to the overclockability and undervolting capabilities of the EVO. I've been running netarchy's "aggressively" undervolted universal kernel since he released the beta for it and it works fantastically, and the battery life i've gotten has increased dramatically. I overclock to the maximum allowed, as well as one screen off and one charging profile, that's it. Never had an issue. Fast forward to cfs#11 and stability issues the second I install SetCPU and increase clock speed one step at a time.

So, maybe King has a point about SetCPU, but only because this kernel may not be built with SetCPU use in mind. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Just to humor myself, I am going to listen to King. I just reinstalled SetCPU. No overclocking, no profiles. Just set it to Conservative (Also set at boot so it stays that way) and compare my battery life compared to not using SetCPU at all.

I am willing to bet listening to him is going to work out best.

Edit: It is a shame I do not overclock or undervolt because my Evo is just like yours, it overclocks over 1250 and I can run all the undervolted kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
It probably will work out best, but I enjoy profiles and overclocking so while i'll follow progress and occasionally try newer kernels out, i'll ultimately have to stick with netarchy's!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
haha wrong words by me. my bad on that. shouldn't of said bad. Its just the fact everyone is blasting to NOT use SetCPU like its death to the phone, when in fact thats not the case and king even said using it to change the govenor is fine.

In the end I believe we all are meaning the same thing with some trying to save people that are not too knowledgable about the app and device some headaches in the future if they tinker with setcpu and then end up blaming the kernel. I get that part and what should be said to people is to either use the kernel with no setcpu or use it only changing the govenor, and if you do tinker with the advanced stuff or even profiles, dont post complaining about battery not being great.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jasonziter:
Yes, but be carefull.

You got it. Changing the governor = overclocking (essentially). Selecting conservative scaling. Yes, check the box to start at boot, but ONLY if you have adjusted to a setting that doesnt crash your evo

BEFORE BEFORE BEFORE clicking set at boot. If you click set at boot and overclock an unstable speed you'll be caught in boot loop. I'm not sure how to rectify that other than restoring a NAND backup or redoing an entire flash. Maybe booting into recovery and clearing cashe and dalvik.....not sure....just remember to test your settings BEFORE you click the set at boot.
