Right now, stock. I have the seidio 3500 also, but I'm trying to get back to the thin form factor. I've got 2000mAh on order from eBay.

I didn't take any screen shots, but my stock battery lasted from 4:30am to 6:45pm the other day. I was doing some heavy usage with gun bros, xda app, internet, you tube, and Pandora in-between taking care of my son. I really was trying to kill the battery, so I was impressed. If I get a chance, I'll post some some battery usage details.

I just made 3 nandroid backups to make sure I have my current config saved. I'm done with mods, they just seem to slow everything down.

[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Just loaded net toast 4.3.1 no SBC HAV BFS universal...my quadrant went from 1000 to 1289

Everything works. If I didn't have Riptide9 with slayer mods I'm sure it would be even faster.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Sweet! I found using "smartass" in setCPU with stock frequencies gave quadrant scores >1350 with reasonable battery life. But I backed off for now by using a conservative profile with under-clocking when screen is off.

But hey, with rockin' the seidio you might as well overclock to 1150 with smartass. Smartass worked better than ondemand for me. YMMV. Consider using an SBC kernel if you decide to try another one.

Edit: I was thinking, what made you decide to try the BFS version?

Azrael

Is this anyway related to gargamels cat on the smurfs?
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
No. Azrael is Azra-El in the Hebrew / Biblical passages . He is the angel of death. If u recall the story of placing lamb blood on the doors, in the passover? That's Azrael. So Rick is calling his ROM a killer ROM.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Well, Azrael 4 came with a customized kernel, and it actually inspired me to finally try the other kernels people keep talking about. I chose BFS because of what I read on the kernel starter guide here on XDA. I have no bugs so far. I have 31% battery life left after 12 hours.

But!!! My phone won't sleep.12 hours up and 12 awake time. That's weird. And, and at this rate, it looks like it will do another 5 hours maybe. That would equate to what I got with the Azrael 4 kernel (15).

Is that normal behavior for this netarchy toast 4.3.1 BFS HAVS no SBC ???

The kernel guide basically made me feel BFS is better for high quadrant vs CFS. If you don't do extreme multitasking, they say BFS is better.

[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
I've heard some people resolved the 1:1 up/awake by downgrading their PRI. Its definitely not normal behavior.

Do you notice a difference in SD card speed? Net's notes say 4.3.2 has the SD fix but not 4.3.1. I know Ric also added the SD card fix with his ROM/kernel. I'm confused to where is fix is located; on the kernel level or the ROM? If its on the ROM level, I won't worry if the kernels I test have the fix or not.

I believe the SD fix is in ROM. My SD access with Gallery is the same. Quick. This is my 2nd day with 4.3.1 so I will see if I still get the 1:1 issue.

Now I know of the downgrading of 1.90 to 1.77 PRI NV thing, but what exactly does each do???
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Dalvik heapsize?

Ricsim or all,

I'm trying to max my performance of a 32GB class 10 SD card. Using the trick of changing the read-ahead values all the way up to 1024, the best I can get is 8MB/sec write and 16MB/sec read. When mounting this same card on my PC, I measure a 11 write and 21 read, much closer to class 10 performance.

Looking around XDA I found this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11277685&postcount=327

So my question is what is the current dalvik heapsize for Azrael? I think I've read that 16 is the stock value, but that post has me wondering if a value of 32 will maximize the performance of my class10 SD.

I have a few microSD cards lying around, so I ran this test for all of them and results are attached. Its interesting to see my PNY 16GB class 2 has similar performance to the Lexar 32GB Class10.

Based on the performance of these cards, it really does look like there's another bottleneck in the android system in regards to the SD cards. If the heapsize can be increased (say to 32) without too much risk, then the Azrael a2sd version could really fly with a higher class card.

If anyone has any info regarding this, please let me know. Perhaps Ricsim can look at this change for his next ROM release. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] coiledwire:
Heap Update

I found a procedure to edit this value to whatever you want.

nswenson posted a procedure to do this; the originating link is in that post.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8504917&postcount=15

I followed this procedure and changed my value from 24 (default) to 32 (safe jump). Retried tests on the 32GB class 10 and results are same or even little worse. Its beyond me how some people are getting way higher read/writes with the same card. I know this SD speed app results aren't 100% correct and should be used as a comparison. It just bothers me that my 16GB class2 is getting somewhat the same performance and no amount of tweaking so far increases the class10 performance. :(

At this point I might go back to the default 24, not sure yet. Just wanted to share this info.

Rick:

I am getting ready to try some other kernels to see how they perform for me (I've had some luck with Netarchy in the past), and I was wondering if you could post your kernel so that I can flash back if I need to. Your original post says:

-HTC#15 kernel with undervolt and Perflock enabled

So, it sounds like your kernel is not purely "stock", and I don't want to lose the ability to go back.

Thanks

LOL. At least half of the posts are complaints about not being able to download ROMs. Looks like they went from SprintLovers, to AVA and now here.

We can all learn from this. When one posts a comment, it helps if it has some useful information regarding your issue.

If it's about being able to download something that most are having no issue with, post what system looks like, what kind of connection you have to the internet and maybe what your security software is doing. If there are multiple mirrors, explain which ones you have tried.

If it's actually about the ROM/software that the thread is about, tell us what version you are using (HW & SW) and what you have done to fix it. (I know I'm bad about not doing this.)

I need a few beta testers willing to try an experimental version of my ROM, calling it Azrael X.

I am looking for 10 people...preferably people who have different hardware versions. The goal is to try and bring the 3.30.651.3 OTA, yet sustain the battery life that 3.29 brings for people like me (0003 hardware). Running it on mine and so far so good.

Running the latest 4.0 and everything's working fine. I attempted to update my profile and all I get is a blank black screen. my pri is 1.77_003 if that's of any use. PRL updates fine. Should I be concerned?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
my experience with kernels so far:

ran 4.0 and nets 4.3.1 cfs sbc right out of the first boot - it was smooth as butter but when i would not touch the phone for awhile - the android % was still higher then that of the sleep / idle - ran 2 full charges on it and even slept while off the charge for 8 hours to wake up and STILL had "android" at 30%- i then tried the BFS and my phone sucked the battery down like a mosquito - since then i have switched to the sbc #15 kernel and slept last night for 8 hours and the battery stayed at 64% for over 8 hours. i also uninstalled handcent since it had a wake lock issue.

this morning i charged my phone for about 40 minutes unplugged at 76% and off to work checking fb answering some texts and playing some pandora- it stayed at 76% for over an hour - if i had done that right off the charge at 100% it would have drained down to around 75%.

i have charged my phone to 100% and also have had it charged at around 86% - i got more time from the lower charge - and this happens with EVERY rom ive had . i find that odd -

so far so good - also love the blue thats in the battery from your "theme" zip - would like to see a little more of that blue to replace the ggreen . thanks again ric - everything working great!
[EVO 4G Android Development] igotroot:
Oh, thanks, but I'm straight. I simply restored a nandroid backup.

Another weird thing I noticed is that my phone wouldn't sleep after I flashed a new kernel, ***and*** THEN updated my Files Anywhere app. I just figured out that the new update for Files Anywhere causes my phone to not sleep.....so, I uninstalled that app, and my phone still wouldn't sleep... sooooooooo, I did a nandroid restore, chose to NOT take the Files Anywhere update, and all is good!

So, be aware that some apk will screw up your sleeping ability.

I'm back to the undervolted stock kernel that Rick put in the Azrael 4.0 ROM. Keep in mind I'm using a seidio 3500mah battery. I actually got about 30 out hours of that charge.

I charge battery to 100%, then disconnect charger.....then I shut phone off...then I plug up charger with keeping phone off, till green light comes on again...then I unplug, then connect again till green light comes on ..

THEN, I turn phone on into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, battery stats all 3x and reboot........

For my phone running Azrael, I found net4.2.2 and 4.3.1 cfs havs sbc works the best for me. Better than the stock kernel for battery life. But 4.3.2 didn't work so well for battery life. All bfs kernels tend to drain by battery with Azrael. The combinations of ROMs and kernels is endless, and its feeding my addition. :)
