Wow, this kernel looks insane! Great work! I know it states that it will not work for cyanogen ROMs, but why is that? Is there any way you could port it over for his ROM? Because your work looks fantastic!

Droid Incredible Rooted!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
@king: just kicked a little contribution your way in appreciation for your exceptional work on these kernels for the community. I hope you keep at it!! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SLOflatlander:
nevermind, its a different problem not kernel related
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
so whats the verdict here? BFS or CFS3?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
I've run all 4 of king's kernels. BFS is hands down the best for *my* DINC. Exceptionally stable at 1.15 with the interactive governor, setcpu profile to 350ish high and low on sleep. Quadrant all above 1500. Linpack all 35-38 (new linpack).

Still testing battery life compared to #2, but with 5hrs up today, 2:48 active, I went from full charge (with a bump) down to 82%. So I'm guessing it's going to be exceptional on battery as well.

Guess I'm saying BFS all the way in my opinion. Your mileage may vary :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] destovel:
I ran BFS and it was really laggy for me. i would wake my phone out of sleep mode and it would freeze for a few seconds. Others seem to be having a much better time with it though so who knows. I went back to #2 and im debating giving 3 a shot despite the issues that seem to surround it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
I didn't have major success with the originals but BFS is far and away the best kernel I've run on this phone. I'm only stable up to 1.13 but I've always seemed to have that. Thanks for the great work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pd240:
BFS is working the best for me. Running 1190mhz on demand and got this quadrant. Linpack is high 38s. This is on the newest leaked froyo from today. This kernel gets great battery life too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
I thought it was laggy too, except then I did a blind test and started to use it and I couldn't discern any lag. Then I looked at the clock speed and it was 576...:O

For me personally, I don't notice the lag, and the battery and temp savings are frankly ridiculous. EIGHT hours nonstop awake time (I set RTM to sync and then shut off the data (I did turn it back on right after the disable though), so it kept my phone awake and at max cpu) and...65% :O

Granted, I was at school, so the screen was only on for about an hour. Still, that's some ridiculous battery savings.

And temperature never went past 95... I find that I can't feel the warmth until around 99, so that's amazing...

If you don't use many CPU intensive apps (well, even my games were running smoothly though...) or have a ginormous home screen, try underclocking! It's fantastic.

Hmm, I had that problem too. At first I thought it was my clock speed (576) but then I bumped to 1.19 and still the lag on unlocking. But disabling the profiles made it go away for me. Hope that helps!

EDIT: So I thought the battery life was a bit TOO good, so I checked again and am getting more about a 10 hours of awake time. 65% was due to PARTIAL wake.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] IShootPixels:
I've given up. Sticking with 2. I've had too many reboots even with BFS.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fader01:
I am enjoying the new BFS kernal
[Droid Incredible Android Development] eX_675:
Running BFS and coming from #2 kernel. So far much better stablity, was having occasional lock ups/extreme lag on #2 but smooth as glass on BFS. I'd say full charge last an extra hour before hitting 10% but thats on casual observation so it could be more or less. Haven't tried SetCPU yet, haven't had good results with it in the past. Running SkyRaider 2.5.2 Vanilla with 2.15xx at stock clocking.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spyd3r05:
Battery seems pretty good so far... no factual numbers but it seems best.... and at stock speed with interactive seems snappier to me... Great work on this!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonb1985:
running the new BFS kernel with the latest 2.2 leak. running the kernel at 1113max/245min on conservative with 2 different temp failsafes to be on the safe side. i also have it set to 460/245 when the screen is off. it's fast as hell and i am getting good battery life too.

thanks!!! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
thats because no matter how you slice it, the Vanilla variants are still Sense roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Muerte_X:
As I understand it, the vanilla version of skyraider or other ROM's, still contain some sense framework stuff, drivers, or something related to sense. Just most of the sense stuff has been removed as possible without causing problems. So, most things that require sense will still work on them. CM6 is completely stock android, so it didn't work.

If it's working for you so far, I'd say keep using it, as it obviously is working for that ROM. I've set up some profiles in SetCPU to have the clock speed gradually lower from OC to a slight UC as the battery drains. I've never had a problem using SetCPU before. I know with hydakernels he said it wasn't recommended to use it, but kingklick hasn't said not to, so I'd think it was ok.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] owlmatt:
I'm with what seems to be the general consensus. So far so good. No locks up, no freezes. Mine is overclocked and running smooth. I will continue to monitor battery life, but great work and thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Omniel:
Using your Kernel and Aicccucs Rom I was hitting around 1450 in quadrant consistently. This was set to performance. Your kernel is running pretty stable thanx.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
Using the 8/1 froyo release, boots up perfectly and initital reactions are good. Video/Camera works, 3g is good, overclocked w/ setcpu etc. Will report back on battery life. Thanks so much for the kernel!

One question, should we turn off profiles in setcpu? Before this kernel I had it set so that it wouldn't go over a certain frequency whe the phone was asleep. However, it seems like this kernel manages itself manually which is where the battery life comes into play. Am I correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GatorsUF:
Do I install this the same as a ROM?

Place on root of SDcard, run Clockworkmod, open/install this zip file from there and done?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JaydenR:
Yes. Same way.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crackers8199:
+1. i haven't ventured into overclocking yet but i'm considering giving it a shot with this kernel...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] satchdaddy:
I am having the exact same issue and I'm set up exactly the same as you are. I could actually watch the battery losing 1% ever 2 minutes or so.

Here's my path forward:

1. I've powered down my phone and am currently performing a full charge. (AC power) and then will:

2. Reboot into Recovery and wipe my battery stats.

3. Remove charger.

4. Reboot normally.

5. Record discharge rate and report back findings

I powered down at 2:24 EST and am currently still charging.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kingklick:
good to see it is working well :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gummehbear:
You can automate this, just get Battery Graph, it records your battery stats over time (up to a week) so that you can compare easily.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] satchdaddy:
Thank you, Mr. Bear.

As soon as this thing is done charging (1 hour and 25 minutes so far), I will download that!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Chemdawg:
So far it's been working. I'm using the 2.15 radio, skyraider 2.5.0 rom, and my phone takes FOREVER to charge. I installed this kernel. Haven't had a chance to check how long it takes to charge now. I'm on a camping trip. So hopefully when I do charge it, it will last a while.

Thanks for the work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
I know it seems unrelated, but I had problems navigating tapatalk with this kernel. I went back to stock and everything is normal again. Anyone else experience this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NVNDK:
I tried out this Kernel and i find it to be more stable than the Hydra ones; My Inc just doesn't handle the Hydra Kernels. I got my phone to boot with your kernel and everything is nice, fast, and no boot loop I have experienced a lot with Hydra. But the one thing is that my phone keeps freezing when I play a game so I had to revert back to the stock Kernel.

If this is of any useful information, I'm running Skyraider 2.5.2 ROM with radio version 2.06. I don't want to do the unrevoked forever just yet to get the 2.15 since my with past phones, something with the hardware, like the buttons, crap out on me and have to get it replaced.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrDanger:
Do you mean the XDA app?? Which is powered by tapatalk?

Tapatalk is working fine for me. Installed this at about 6am. I have the 2150 battery and right not the stats are:

10h 40m 22s since unplugged. Uptime: 10:41:29 Awake: 1:21:09 and 70% battery remaining. I've used it light today and I have it overclocked to 1.13. I'm not sure if that's better than usual, since up until just recently I was on a standard speed kernel. I may have to set this to 998MHz to get a real comparison.

No reboots and very stable and responsive.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] oldman_58:
Battery update

Still unsure of discharge time but I can tell you from 20% to 70% charged has taken roughly 20 minutes...

That is fast....

======================================

A little over 2 hours to a full charge, using USB from MAC Computer through a powered USB Hub.

This use to take far longer at lease twice the time.

Nice work KINgKernel #1
[Droid Incredible Android Development] andrew53517:
Do you recommend using setcpu for your kernels or just letting the phone run on its own with no management/set up from setcpu?

Because with my cyanogen ROM they recommend not using setcpu and letting the phone scale up on its own. But everyone's kernels perform differently so I wasn't sure.

Thanks in advance!

Droid Incredible Rooted!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Muerte_X:
Been using the new BFS #1 today. Battery life seems just as good as before, if not better. Seeing a lot better scores in quadrant too.

Thanks for your work on these kernels, I really like them. As soon as I can afford a few extra bucks, I'll toss a donation your way. :)

I noticed my friends EVO does a lot better in 3d benchmarks, like neocore or the 3d parts of quadrant. (If you have the advanced version, you can see the individual scores). He said it's because the kernel he uses allocates an extra bit of Ram (5mb? I think he said) to the GPU. Is this something you might be able to incorporate into your kernels? I think it's in the built in kernel with the CM roms, since I was seeing much higher 3d performance with CM6. Just an idea...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tcberg2010:
These kernels are preset to stock speeds. You need setcpu to overclock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] andrew53517:
Okay, so setcpu is a must in order to overclock. Thanks for the info. I guess ill be going back to it once I flash these soon!

Droid Incredible Rooted!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
I am not sure about setcpu...Overclocking thru setcpu seems to conflict with the workings of the kernel. Sure you can get good benchmarks...but overclocking causes crashes, intense heating ..and not tho mention reduced battery life. Eventually I had to uninstall setcpu and just stick with the BFS kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kingklick:
Only use set CPU for overclocking
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spyd3r05:
disregard found the answer...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blandreth94:
The BFS kernel breaks my camera, when i open the app it just shows a black screen until i lock, unlock, and press the home button. Anyone else with this problem, i love the battery savings and stability but i have to go back to Hydra until i figure this out...

HTC/DROID Incredible with S-OFF

ROM: SkyRaider 2.5.2 Vanilla Froyo

Baseband: 2.15.00.07.28

Kernel: 2.6.32-Hydra OC/UV v1
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spyd3r05:
no camera is fine on mine...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] eX_675:
I personally don't recommend using it because it caused major lag issues and would lock up once in a blue moon even set at stock speeds. Once I removed it everything was fine.

BUT that is just my experience with it. I know there are many people who have nothing but good things to say about overclocking and cool for them, my phone just hates it lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SLOflatlander:
overclock on the droid1 is significant enough to really make it worth it, but when you really arent getting much more than a %10 increase, all the problems that come along with it will probably not be worth the advantages for some people. i think im gonna go back to stock speeds also, but it seems anything under 1113mhz is pretty much solid and stale for most people, and since your already geetting such great battery savings with this kernel (in most cases anyway) it really doesnt hurt to overclock a bit in my opinion. plus, because of the profiles in setcpu, i actually like to think i get better battery life with overclock+setcpu than just stock. up to you, i doubt you'll notice much of a difference either way

same here! I got a little over 1700! This kernel has brought a big performance increase to my phone. (running skyraider 3.0 sense, bfs kernel)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nomsy79:
What are you maxed at on CPU? You set to Performance or Conservative...or Interactive? Those numbers are impressive...but how is your battery life? I know results vary from phone to phone...but from what I've been reading...some people are having low quadrant numbers where others are thru the roof.

Is there that much of a difference from phone to phone?

Battery

So, if im using the stock/rooted froyo from yesterday (the official release) - will this increase battery performance if i dont overclock? Right now im using the stock undervolted hydra kernel... i dont care about speed i need battery life
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DroidHam:

Trying to flash BFS and am getting a signature verification failed?

nevermind, works after i rebooted...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rushless:
I have no desire to OC the Snapdragon, so are there any significant performance advantages for speed or battery, compared to the stock kernel in the official release of 2.2?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
This kernel, with no OC'ing, is a lot faster. Pair it up with SetCPU and you've got great battery life and good speed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rushless:
My score from Quandrant with stock kernel is 1175. What could I expect with BFS if I do not overclock? Same score?

Not seeing how it would be faster, if no overclock, but not doubting- just trying to understand.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SLOflatlander:
im not sure, but i was definitely getting higher scores on bfs @ 998mhz than with stock or even hydra. i think it may be cause it uses a more agressive "scheduler" is my understanding of it. read the wiki page on bfs, that should explain it pretty well for you
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DroidHam:
i went from ~1220 stock to 1500+ @ 1.13 ghz....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Test Driving BFS 1 with SR 3 RC2. Still looking for great battery life. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
I hope you'll see it. I definitely have. setcpu @ 998/245 with a sleep profile now at 245/245 interactive is the best configuration for me, but as you know mileage may vary.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rushless:
Did all of you folks wipe to apply the kernel? If I have to wipe and restore everything, I will just wait until tomorrow evening and install Skyraider R3, since it will include the BFS kernel.

added:

Since a lot of folks are reporting over a 30% increase in performance with just a 10% to 13% increase in clock speed, might I conclude

that with no overclock, I should still see my score go from 1175 to the 1300's ?

Only way it would make sense to me and my little brain.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DroidHam:
i didnt whipe anything, just give it a try dude, your over thinking it lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dustbinge:
mid-1400's with no overclocking

mid-1400's for me on Skyraider 3 RC 2 with BFS #1, no overclocking, ... no wiping necessary... just do it! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrenaline006:
BFS!

That particular Quadrant run was a 1.19 OC on performance mode even though the phone is very unstable on such. I typically keep it set to conservative at 1.15Ghz and battery life seems to be better for me than the stock kernel.

I have seen some low scores from others but if you run this kernel with SetCpu on SkyRaider 3.0 RC2 you can definitely hit some high numbers.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DroidHam:
I removed what I thought was bloatware and i went from 1550 to 1350, any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
For those who are encountering a short lag after unlocking, check your profiles.

The lag occurs (for me anyway) when I have Screen Off set to 245/245 powersave. Setting to something like 245/460 interactive and no more lag! =]

I'm guess that the low cpu speed causes a delay in loading up the phone from sleep, and that everything has to "catch up."
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DroidHam:
Check profile in what?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zalez:
My quadrant scores are only in the 1300, but man my battery life is awesome. 30% at 26 hrs now!! Thanks for all your hard work OP :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlss:
In SetCPU you can set specific profiles for clock speed under different circumstances. So if your primary config is, say 1.13 high, 245 low on interactive, you can set a custom profile for when the screen's off (for example), lowering the top end clock speed way down to as low as 245.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Muerte_X:
How many times did you run quadrant? If I run it more than once in a row, the second score is higher. If you're trying to compare performance I usually do it like 3 times in a row to get an average.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wikywwj:
how to cook this kernel into rom?seems it can't be simply put the "system" part to the rom?needs to rewrite boot.img?could you tell me how to do it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dustbinge:
bumping up the max in my Screen Off SetCPU profile is allowing a faster wake-up for me as well--without sacrificing battery savings. I'm using Screen Off - 422max/245min - Priority:100 - Interactive

See (http:)//xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7855791&postcount=2266 from the EVO forum for other SetCPU profile suggestions. Since this post is for the EVO version of King BFS of course YMMV

[Droid Incredible Android Development] rushless:
Not seeing the great non-OC improvements others are reporting (perhaps user error)

Using the rooted rom version of yesterdays leak. My average went from 1175 to 1205. Main issue is battery life anyways, so 3ish percent increase is better thna none! :)

Question: If the kernel that shipped yesterday is new (is it?) and BFS is based on an older release, how would we really know if this is better or not, in regards to battery?

The new kernel seemed to do a good job with battery.... I may clock this puppy up to 1.05ghz and see what I get ;)

None the less- I appreciate the rom and all of the effort!!!! :)

Does someone, with battery conservation in mind, mind posting their SetCPU profile so that I can take a look? I'm no OCer, just looking for good performance and good battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smw420:
Another way of looking at this amazing kernel is running it at 576MHz (interactive) and getting the same quadrant score as a stock Dinc. I'm running at 460 right now and with regular usage can't tell the difference. BFS is just insane. Hopefully battery life follows suit.

-M
[Droid Incredible Android Development] StirCwazy:
Well, I'm amazed. Yesterday I applied the leaked RUU for 2.2, removed a few useless apps and otherwise am running things as stock as they can be. I don't have a screencap of my Quadrant scores from before, but you can imagine. It was roughly 1100ish. Today, figuring it was time to try out one of Kings kernels I installed BFS #1. Still not sure how to go about SetCPU I didn't have it installed and figured I would see what kind of Quadrant score I got with a stock phone running a custom kernel. See for yourself, I'm beyond happy at this point.

Sorry about the original image, forgot to resize.

That's 1421, kind of hard to make out. Just ran another, 1465, on a stock rom without SetCPU.
