I understand. The default settings I set up for the batt tweak are optimized for the Stable kernel(since more people use it); you'd have to do a bit of customization to set it to be 'ideal' for BFS(see the second post).

I think the problem in #13 is actually the idle code backport as you can see that msmfb_Idle_lock never seems to rest.

"msmfb_idle_lock" 100028 0 0 0 570359568233 0
100036620 22962344674649

I'll keep that in mind, and I'll probably reverted it for the update later tonight.

Thanks for your help and your time with helping me debug this. :P

I'm experiencing similar issue with #13 CFS, the battery life seems to have just taken a nosedive. Its not as bad as laie1472, but its a far cry from the #9 in terms of battery life. Didn't run it long enough to say if anything improved.

Here is my wakleock as well.

Dec when I change to 710400 it says it changed but I open up a app to check to see if it changed but still saying its at 691 I'm using your new stable and your batt tweak
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
I'm at 4 hours up time on 13 and my battery is holding strong so far. Using v2.2 batt tweak.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Sitting at 6 hours 45 minutes 70%

:/ Calibrate? And the kernel doesn't have any threads/processes holding a wake lock from what I see in that dump.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I still have the same great battery life, no wakelock here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
I am also getting improper scaling. Wont scale past 691, I'm using 13.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
did you flash the right kernel? 768 vs 691.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pwn3d:
Currently using the stable #6 with my new 8gb class 6 sdhc card and WOW! It's so fast!

Well a few hours later (and a few reboots) I must conclude I was experiencing an anomaly (or to be honest, confirmation bias).

After I flashed the zip, cleaned dalvik, cache, mtd-boot, etc. everything seemed fine. My battery would drop 2-3% though during light use, it was so odd because it would sit for an hour and lose maybe 1-2%. I could open up xda app get to this forum page, exit out and my battery would have dropped 2%. Hit the power button and come back to it an hour later, 1% down, answer a text and check an email...dropped 3%. No wifi,no gps, no bluetooth, using 3g, great signal, low screen brightness (oh and I calibrated battery when I first got #9 CFS).

Did a series of dalvik wipes and reboots, reinstalled the kernel, wash-rinse-repeat and it seems to have leveled off. I'm getting usage like I did before on #9 CFS (in terms of battery, but the phone seems smoother overall now).

Wanted to get this figured before I moved back to CM6 nightlies.

Thanks for your time Deca, and the great work on the kernel as always. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nspot:
I experience the same drops when doing those things, so I think your observations are within normal expectations.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Here is my time up so far....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
Deca, you effin rock! with a whole bunch of help from the impaler in his cm6 forum, finally got my recovery image upgraded to 1.7 so i could wipe dalvik properly. just installed your stable 13 and it is wicked FAST! thanks for making a good kernel (stock cm6) into an amazing one! now I just have to wait until you get all the huge workload for the fabled .34 done, if you do it... THANKS!!!!!!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Updates!

Added 176000 mhz frequency!

Added Erasmux "smartass" cpu governor(details below)

Updated BFS branch to match CFS, sorry about the wait

Enjoy!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Downloading now can't wait can't wait thanks man

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Let me know of any problems you run into with BFS.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
Will you update the battery tweak to utilize the governor and freq?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
I got my smartass a working, lol !!! Great work... Smooth !!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Uhh. The battery tweak allows you to choose any governor or freq with option 3. Customize Settings.

But if you want what I'm running at the moment:

just copy this into a txt file, label it as batt.conf

NOTE: This is with the latest stable CFS kernel at 768mhz

audio_fix=0
CFStweaks=1
MOUNToptions=1
enabled=1
MaxTemp=450
MaxTempEnable=y
MaxFreqOverride=537600
MinFreqOverride=245760
cpu_limiting_method=1
min_freq_on_battery=176000
max_freq_on_battery=614400
min_freq_on_USBpower=176000
max_freq_on_USBpower=768000
min_freq_on_power=176000
max_freq_on_power=768000

polling_interval_on_power=15
polling_interval_on_USBpower=15
cpu_max_underclock_perc=15
scaling_governor=smartass
cpu_scheduler=noop

then after you created the batt.conf file, push it to your phone

adb remount
adb push batt.conf /system/etc/batt.conf
adb shell chmod 755 /system/etc/batt.conf

You may have to reboot, but that should work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
You just go into customize and hit return for everything till they ask you what governor you want to use and punch in smartass.. then return for everything else....

For the people that dont know: If you download Android hackers system tool from the market you can easily change your governor with 1 tick. It makes it very easy to switch between the governors and also has a built in terminal.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] madeSICC:
So with this kernel there is no need for setcpu? Or just no need to have a screen off profile?

Froyo!.... its whats for dinner.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
No need for screen off profile..

[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
Deca, will the smart ass governor add to the BFS unlock lag or will it make it better? All I know is I'm getting better numbers in quadrant on 3d than I ever have before. My quandrant has been back to back 503, 507, 504, 504 :-) I've never had such great back to back runs!

Your Kernels keep getting better and better.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaronpoweruser:
noticed it to but its because it ramps up a second after you touch and its ramping up from a lower frequency try seting ur min to 246 mhz to see if that helps. i find the ramp rate to be a lil less aggressive but that should have a positive effect on battery life i have noticed a large increase when playing music as it doesnt ramp up as much when it hits the cpu hard for that one second when it changes songs
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gpsmoucer:
Everything seems great on mine with the 102.5 nightly and #15 CFS, set on smartass. I'm very pleased with the lag (or lack of) when unlocking the phone.

At this point is there any reason to NOT be using the bfs "unstable" kernel? I stayed away before since I use google navigation quite a bit and don't do much gaming. But from what many are saying GPS isn't an issue anymore. Is there still any downside?

can this kernal be used on DarchDroid v2.8? I'm asking because since it gets rid of lockscreen lag on CM6, i am experiencing some very slight lockscreen lag (the screen comes on right away but when i try to touch the screen and try to slide it, the unlock button wont move until the lights on the menu/home/search/back plate turns on) with DarchDroid v2.8 also...so was just wondering if this could be used on DDv2.8 and if it can, will it fix the very slight 1 second delay lockscreen lag?

Battery Drainage

Is it possible that Kernel 8 the stable one, causes excessive (40% in 2 hours) battery drain? I am so at a loss as to what to do, flashed the 8/19, flashed the gshitz, flashed the kernel, flashed collins tweak, turned off the CFS tweaks. IM so freakin stumped...I have wifi off, I have gps off, I have 1 widget running, the fancy widget. Any clues or ideas on how to fix this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
It may be the Collin battery tweak... try using set cpu instead and setting your frequencies

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Check spare parts to see what is using the most battery. That should tell you if there is an app draining somewhere. But also, I experienced bad battery with 8/19, switched to 8/21 and have phenomenal life. Dropped 3% last night while sleeping.

Ok, what is your set up for when you had only 3% drain over night ? Please.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Ill check it out. I've only been running the BFS kernel, locally.

Make sure you calibrate your battery though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Big-O-Devil:
sorry to sound like a noob.. but how do you calibrate your battery.:confused::confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Running 19 nightly with #5 stable kernel and battery tweak. GPS not working at all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Your phone may say that the capacity is at 100% when it's really around 85-90 or even lower. This is because it's reading from your battery stats to create an output. If your battery stats aren't calibrated with the battery's true capacity, you'll 'seemingly' have 'bad' battery life. But it's not true. You can calibrate your battery 2 ways:

Charge your battery to where it visually says 100%, and keep charging it. You won't exactly know when it's actually 'full' but after charging it for 10 hours, it should be full.

The recommended method is to:

Drain your battery completely -> boot to recovery -> wipe battery stats -> charge completely to 100%

Run batt-cfg from terminal emulator (or adb shell), select choice 3, and you will be able to figure it out from there.

Indeed fast!

That is kind of what meant, at the beginning it was kind of struggling.. but for me it would repeat this randomly with about 2-3mins inbetween each struggle.
