So here are results from my earlier posts (if you guys are interested...check out pages 100 and on. Super fast charge time for me).

Bump Charged until 100% last night.

Unplugged phone and went to bed. Have Setcpu profile for screen off.

Woke up and it was only down to 93%. Had received several emails, text messages and phone calls while I was sleep.

Made a few phone calls, sent a few texts and emails. Now sitting at 82%.

Up time is 10hrs

Awake time is 1hr 6min

The screen shot was taken before I wrote this...so some numbers may be off a tad. it says charging but it only charged for literally 1 min.

I noticed much quicker battery drain running Virtuous 2.4 ROM and BFS2 than I had been seeing with BFS1. It did seem to be charging faster, but I'd rather take slower charging and longer lasting battery. Anyone else seeing this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
Awake time says 1:10:15, uptime is 3:55:14, 'since unplugged' time is 3:38:48

ROM is SkyRaider 2.5.2

stock battery

EDIT: should I switch to #1 after today? I may to see how it runs, i'm noticing some sluggishness I wasn't getting with the stock kernel

EDIT2: down to 76% - it's better then it was with the stock kernel but not really impressive
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixs4r:
Is there a way to check voltage that my battery is receiving? Yesterday, battery charge time was great from AC wall charger. Today, recharge rate is painfully slow bit I'm in my truck on the car charger. I've heard depending on brand that car charges can produce varying voltages.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gear_Up:
Totally new to this but I love this kernel. I'm running Kernel #3 in Virtuous ROM v2.4. Linpack is coming in around 38, here's the quadrant as hitting 1450.

Set CPU is on demand with a minimum of 245 MHz and a max of 1,152 MHz. It's run stable all day and the battery life seems better.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kauffman_c:
Can't see any performance difference with BFS2, but I do seem to have faster charging time. Battery recharged 27% in 1 hour. Battery drain is about the same. Bump charged 2 hours ago and at 84% with minimal usage, screen off underclocked, standard battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
It was just a thought, sounds like it is a space issue, not so much where the bad block is. There is a couple posts with similar problems on King's forum.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] VCURamEngineer:
Voltage is constant at 5 volts. Current may differ. Check the output ratings printed on the chargers.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
To be clear the chemistry is 4.2v. These CAN NOT be series or we would have increased voltage, but same current(amps). These are parallel which does not increase voltage, but increases current because each cell has the same current.

Real sorry to get off topic but I am a power tech and I install 500# cells in a 24 cell string. I gotta know my stuff.

Back on topic I seem to be having greater power draw only while useing apps like my tracks + pandora. I have CPU set screen off 5xx max for this reason. Normal 3 mile 1 hr walk would take 20-25% battery. Today took 40%. When phone is in stand by though I went 3 hrs with only 3% draw. My charge at first seemed faster, but second go around I'm back to about 4 hrs for <20% to 100% and still needed a good bump charge after wards. So about 5 hrs of AC for a 24 hr period:rolleyes: I could almost go back to 2.1u1 stock....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
I would try the BFS #1. Seems people are consistently getting better scores. #2 is even better but maybe not as stable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smw420:
King, if you could solve this bump charging business I would drop to my knees and provide service long time :eek:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrDanger:
...Whoa...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jnmilli352:
NOT quite on the same page but charging issue sucks how bout $$
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
I am also experiencing faster battery drain using bfs 2. I switched back to #1 for now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] m52power:
I'm experiencing epic battery usage. Phones been up all day, currently@ 75% Stock battery!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dustbinge:
Lucky! Which kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ianxcom:
Wow the BFS#2 is the fatsest kernel ive used yet. Super stable at 1.113 and the "snappiness" of the screen is noticeable. Even my benchmarks say so. My usual is 1220-1350 with a highest of 1440. Now i hit 1550 no problem!

Cant comment on battery life yet since im still charging it but the charge is decent. The BFS#1 lags too much for me so i stopped using after 30 minutes.

Just so excited about the speed. Gonna see how stable it is at 1.15 later, since that usually is the breaking point for me. The only kernel semistable for me at that speed was the hydrakernel, but i never got these benchmarks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ksidirt:
Make sure to reset battery stats after a full charge has been implemented everytime you change kernels.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
The first time I tried a King kernel, I charged it once, forgot to reset the batt stats and got 15 hours which was my longest to date. So the next night I charged it and reset the stats the next morning and I didn't get more than 6 hours out of it. I was also underclocking it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mycomputerisjunk:
I was glad to see kingklick developing something for the Incredible..

Here is something interesting that it seems others are experiencing..

I run SkyRaider 3.0 RC3 with BFS 1, I switched to BFS2 and the performance was crap. So, I did a complete wipe and reinstall from scratch. Same thing. According to system panel, the internal system process was averaging 58% cpu usage and I could watch it max out the cpu every so often making the phone useless.

Switched back to BFS 1 and the internal system process is back to almost null. I think BFS 2 has an issue. Unfortunately, sys panel did not give any more info on the system process..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] darouter:
Battery charged all night. After 3 hours was at 50% with not that much use. Charged again, did a bump charge, reset battery and after the last 3 hours I am at 75% with heavy use. I guess it does work.

I also ran a few quadrants and was at about 1350 to 1450 OC to 1.115. Lowered to 1.113 and now the scores are 1500 to 1634.

Skyraider v3 and KingxKernel BFS #2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
Please post your

'awake'

time instead of the

'Up'

time. 'Awake' times are better indicators of battery usage than 'Up' time.

If I let the phone sit idle for 24 hrs without use, I'll have 24:00 hrs of 'up' time with most of the battery left, let's say 90 - 95%. Not a real good indicator.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
I'm on 2.5.2 and have used many kernels, never have I been able to hit scores that high. I just hit 1081 at 1.113
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smw420:
I'm seeing similar behavior as well.

-M
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fretless:
Agreed. I just nailed 1537.

Edit: Got 1603 just now. This kernel is amazing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nomsy79:
Here are some results on my usage and battery life for the day:

In my previous post I mentioned I bump charged to 100% and then wiped batt stats. Went to bed with phone on. Woke up with 93% I think (refer to my other post). For the rest of the day made several phone calls, emails and text messages were crazy today. Had to go into work and rode the train in....easily 45 mins. Had music player going and playing Sega Genesis Emulator for a straight 45 mins. After work...did the same thing on the way home. Pretty heavy use today I would say.

I am now sitting at:

16:40 Up time

3:45 AWAKE TIME

Battery is at 30%. I know using the Video Game Emulators drains batteries like crazy...but still....to run the emulator and still have 30% left..that's pretty impressive.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sirmims:
about to downloaded, quick question, whats the diffrence between the cfs and bfs kernals?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Read the OP, please.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] srt4mn:
So is the general consensus that the #2 non-BFS kernal is the best out of the 3 so far? (not included BFS #1 or #2)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
I suggest BFS #2..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] al_dizzle419:
if i install this new kernal do i have to mess with setcpu settings to see a difference or can i keep the speeds stock? and if i have to change settings through setcpu what should the settings be? my setup is SR 2.5.2., unrevoked forever s-off, radio 2.15 everything else i have not messed with.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
These kernels use the conservative governor by default to save battery. If you want to set it to the ondemand governor, or interactive governor, you will need setcpu.

Try it out without any changes first, if you can't stand the lag then I would set your governor to ondemand or interactive with setcpu.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iflip:
i have no luck retrieving #3 from the link provided at 4shared. its not letting me d/l however, it did lemme d/l #2 so ill try that. :-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WhammyDroid:
In reading parts (not all of this thread), I am trying to figure out which kernel to use. I am not looking to overclock the CPU at all. The only reason to install the kernel is to get better battery life. I am running RMK40's official rooted 2.2 rom (not his virtuous rom).

Considering the requirements given (and reading the changelog), is the CFS kernel the better kernel to use? If not, why? Also, how do you revert the kernel back to the stock kernel? Is there a zip file somewhere?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, which is possible, the difference is the scheduler. CFS uses algorithms to determine priority, task cpu time and other things I don't understand. BFS has a universal virtual deadline. BFS can have better performance, because it does not use complex algorithms. Seems BFS is maybe superior, seems a hot topic for linux guru's.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smw420:
The cool thing about this kernel is you can use SetCPU to change the governor to Interactive and set the CPU clock "down" to about 576 or 768 and get better-than-stock performance with nice battery life (especially with a screen-off profile that runs the kernel governor in Powersave mode - 245 max). I've noticed that most of what I do doesn't require wide-open-throttle and since Interactive gives you the speed selected in SetCPU within 50ms (by default), the phone feels unnaturally quick at lower speeds. The stock governor - conservative - starts you at 245 and drags you up the ladder to 998 (or whatever) at a pace that can make certain actions feel laggy. SetCPU and this BFS kernel are just made for each other.

So far the only app I've noticed that needs lots of cycles is Quadrant where a nice stable 1.19 OC satisfies it quite well. :D

-M
[Droid Incredible Android Development] colonel187:
I dont like the lag in the cfs kernel 2 but I can get 1578 score constantly with only oc'ed to 1113mhz. Funny thing is that is with conservative governor. If I change it to performance I get 1056 score.....

sent from my Incredible via skyraider & tapatalk
[Droid Incredible Android Development] infamous24:
Has anyone run Linpack with these kernels? With BFS #2 I was only getting 25 mflops, so I went back to stock. Just using the ondemand governor I got 35 mflops. Maybe the performance increase was just in my head? Or does linpack not account for everything? My quadrant is 1230 with the stock kernel at stock speeds, pretty good I would say
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
I am getting 37-38 at 1113 with a couple 39-40's set to performance. Quadrant consistantly above 1400 many over 1500. Someone posted 16xx. This is with BFS #2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tech9ne:
heres an update on how #2 is treating me using the OEM 1350 batt:

flashed it last night, charged phone overnight. unplugged it, powered off. charged until green. powered on and unplugged, then powered off. charged till green one last time. rebooted into recovery, wiped batt stats then powered on and took it off the charger.

as of writing this im at 31% batt remaining.

uptime 12:05:24

awake time 4:23:21

i have multiple setcpu profiles setup and they are:

Charging/Full 1113/614 ondemand priority 100

Screen Off 576/245 powersave priority 100

Battery < 25% 652/245 powersave priority 90

Battery < 50% 998/422 conservative priority 85

Battery < 75% 1075/537 ondemand priority 80

ROM and everything else is in my signature
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I just got my highest quadrant score with King's #2 BFS @1.19 interactive!

Going to see what I get if I kill all non system apps before running it! Thanks King!

EDIT: Killing apps made no difference. Still got 1605 on 3rd run.

Typed on my Incredible phone!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ianxcom:
What ROM are you running in order to be stable at 1.19?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] execute_method:
I am using Adrynalyne's 4th wave, desensed by me, with the bfs #2 kernel @ 1152, and got 1652 on quadrant.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Is that set to "interactive"? I got better scores on that than "performance".
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
Interesting. I'm running BFS #1 on the stock 3.21.605.1 and the system process does this every so often.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanheng:
I've tested most of King's kernels for a week each time and I've been having lock ups requiring battery pull and very slow response on my Dinc switched back to hydra and everything is fine.

I'm using stock froyo with setcpu to 1.15 performance.

anyone else getting my results? I see others getting awesome results but for how long? at first I was getting decent result then it all goes downhill after few days.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I was running HeyItsLouFroyo, but it's not really the rom that matters. It's if the kernel sends enough voltage and if your CPU can handle it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Scottpapak:
A2DP

Is anyone else having problems with A2DP Streaming with this Kernel? It gets choppy then cuts off. When I revert to stock it works perfectly. Love the kernel and charging speed but this is a deal breaker.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hawkye:
Anyone having issues with Slingplayer? It seems it doesn't like the Kernel OC'd and it doesn't like Interactive gov. I am still trying to find the right combo.

UPDATE: Ok, I just UC the BF#2 to 960Mhz using Interactive. Finally Slingplayer ran just fine for over 5mins. I guess I just have to remember to UC the Kernel everytime I use Slingplayer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hawkye:
I haven't had a problem with A2DP streaming music in my truck at all. I did find an issue with Slingplayer though. It seems it doesn't like to be OC'd. Try UC the kernel and see if you still have the issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixs4r:
Currently at 42%.

Bump charged, sedio 1750.

This good or bad or mediocre?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] thatdudebutch:
Not good for 1750. What are your profiles
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixs4r:
I only have a screen off profile to run a min processor speed.

Other than that running interactive, almost fully overclocked.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Almost same settings as you except using the stock battery.. about 4 hours awake time and I have 47% left..

Are you using live wallpaper?

Edit: nevermind, I'm not overclocking.. so seems about right..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
is there a preferred method when switching kernels? should it be done after a full charge or before charging when the battery is almost dead? BFS#2 has done nothing for me in terms of battery life, after I reset batt stats I can watch watch the battery just get crushed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] execute_method:
That was using performance setting, which keeps the processor clocked to max. I'm not sure how interactive, which is clock scaling would give better performance on a benchmark, but I'll try it. Also, I was able to run quadrant @ 1.19, but it must have been having errors, because I got better scores @1.15....

Also, battery life had been teh sux for me with bfs2, luckily I'm in my vehicle most of the day and have a usb port I can charge from.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] execute_method:
OK,

Any more talk of king getting things to work with aosp roms??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DroidHam:
Ok guys... problem!

I had Kernel #2 on and the battery was amazing! I was running SR 3.0 - My gmail got all messed up so I did a factory reset. When it reset, skyraider was still installed, and most of my apps were. Since then the battery has SUCKED. I just went from 100% to 94% in 20 minutes walking to work, and I have set CPU to run at 460 mhz when screens off. I just did a whipe from the recovery mode so im hoping this helps, but even now when i reset it, skyraider is still installed.

Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Can't help you with battery issues - still struggling with my own. But as far as doing a factory reset, it just resets all the defaults of your current rom (which in your case was SR). It won't take you back to the stock rom, if that was what you were trying to do.

HTH
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
Try lowering your max clock speed in SetCPU. Maybe knock it down to 1.13. Our DINCs are all slightly different (within manufacturing specs), so one person can run at 1.19 all day long, while another (like me) can't be stable above 1.13. My scaling is interactive. Priority 100 profile for sleep (min/max 245). Words well for me. Again, I'd just go ahead and knock that max speed down a little bit and would guess you'll fine stability :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
Check if KiNgcKernel is still installed. The factory reset may have reinstalled the rom's kernel. Did for me once.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
Gonna try 'interactive', see what happens.

Are you really getting almost 8 hrs of use, 'awake time', from a single charge?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Yea so far from the limited time I spent with both I think I had better results with BFS #1 over BFS #2.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DeaconBoogie:
I was messing around with CyanogenMod 6.0.1 and I noticed that their kernel allows clocking down to 128MHz... Wonder if we might see this in King's?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thatdudebutch:
from what I understand phone calls coming in would lag if it slept that low
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Yea, typically about 7 to 8 hours of awake time.. I will grab a screen shot next time I reboot my phone
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
Wow! With stock I was getting about 4.5hrs of awake time on a full charge with setcpu set on 'ondemand'. Hoping 'ineteractive' makes a difference.

My 1500mAh just came in today (glad it's my day off). Gonna give it a full charge and See how it performs.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] DroidHam:
If I use mine for like 10-15 minutes browsing the market etc I can literally wwatch it drop off about 10%. A few days ago it wouldnt go down AT ALL, but i had to factory reset and now mine SUCKS =\

Nope cyanogen does not use havs, batt tweaks, or bfs ... that's me

New kernel soon with even faster charging :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Can anyone give me a hand. (No pun intended :p )I have tried both BFS #1 and #2 and yes my battery life seems to have slightly improved and I get 1600 scores in quadrant but my phone just does not seem as snappy as it used to.

For example (and I have tried this with multiple govenors) when moving apps around the screen (in both sense and ADW) every few moves the app gets stuck in limbo for a second or two before being placed down on the screen.

Can anyone else try this and let me know if the same is happening to them? Just move the same app around your screen 10-15 times and let me know if you get any lag.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kingklick:
Battery life will be improved even more in the next release
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Uh so I'm not sure exactly what you meant. I picked up the app (SetCPU, not the widget) and moved it a space, put it down. Picked it up and moved it back. I did it about 5 times and then got bored...then I figured I'd be helpful (xD) and moved it back and forth 20 times. I may've got this uber tiny lag, but I may've been imagining it. Anyways, I couldn't replicate the lag. Do you have a whole bunch of widgets running maybe?

EDIT: Using BFS #2 245/768 interactive.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nomsy79:
Very subtle tease there King...lol...thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Colomonster:
i cannot wait for the next release!!! i will keep glued to the forum waiting for it:eek:.. also i looked on your forums king, and saw something that caught my eye, i know you said it is a good idea to wipe cache or Dalvic Cache before flashing a new kernel, could someone let me know how i go about doing this? :confused:

**EDIT****

Disregard this, i found it after some digging, however, will it mess anything up if i wipe these two items while having the kernel installed? also should i wipe battery cache while i have 100%?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
There are parts of the kernal that get saved to the chache?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DroidHam:
Alright guys, i dont know what is going on anymore.

I flashed this kernel a few days ago and it was GREAT. Then, I had to reinstall skyraider and since then its been CRAP. I was just on the market for 10 minutes and watched 10% fall off my battery. It takes FOREVER to charge now and doesnt last AT ALL. Ive reinstalled skyraider, setup SetCPU, reinstalled the kernels etc. Im starting to think my battery could have gotten damaged somehow? The phone gets pretty warm sometimes. I dont know what to do, but this is awful and it seems to be gettign worse?
