I'm going to give the 1210-2 Kernel another shot, but this time I'll bump charge it and see if there is any difference. Other than the very fast drain while talking on the phone, everything else was very smooth and worked without issue. After the calls the phone did sit at 52% for a good while. Reflashed my ROM and starting out fresh to test. Still overclocking to 1113 min 245.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Bump fix number two didn't work for me so I wouldn't recommend sticking with 10-2. Also there is definitely a battery drain issue. I'll release one later without the fix.

-chad
[Droid Incredible Android Development] itisjustme:
Didn't work for me either. I left the phone on and charged over night, when I woke up it was indicating full so I pulled the charger and did a reboot. After a reboot if came back on indicating 69%.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
Mine was horrible. It went from 100 to 43 in about thirty minutes of sleep. I am going to try reinstalling it, and/or going back to 1210 just to see if it changes... or I have some runaway process.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jumperalex:
Well while my impressions of the bump charge might be plecebo driven, I am REALLY surprised to hear you say there is a battery drain issue. I can say without a doubt that battery life has improved over 1208. OF course if you're seeing issues than others are and it needs to be fixed. Just letting you know it isn't a universal opinion about battery drain. I look forward to your next effort :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mmfn520:
what is everyone using to overclock. i used setcpu and i literally watched my battery drop to 79% in 5min fron 100% on 1210-2 kernal. or is overclocking it just a waste at this point?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
@mmfn

Don't use 10-2 there's an issue with it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
I assume this applies to everyone, or just those that are overclocking? I am not even using SetCPU at this time.

I can say this though... My battery stats were wonky. It showed a 4235mv charge, but the meter just read 90% charged. So I let it charge till 100% and did a wipe battery stats. Going to just recalibrate by letting it run all the way down.

But should we just reinstall 1210?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rockehill10:
Two things I've noticed after loading 12/10 #2.

When I took the phone off the charger at 100%, I decided I wanted to reset the time since last charge and awake time. I powered the phone off and back on and the charge was now at 92%.

Also, I did my usual routine of using Cardio Tracker to GPS track a one hour walking routine while also playing Power Amp. In the past when I bump charge the phone, at the end of an hour, I am usually at 70-72% after starting at 90%. This morning without the bump charge and starting at 90%, I went down to 61%. Conclusion: still need the bump charge.

Phone is running very smooth, however, thanks to Chad, my wife thinks I'm a kernel junkie. Maybe she's right! Chad, just waiting on my new fix.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] edripiii:
12.10 horrible

Using Myn's latest. 9.01 radio. Setcpu off. Superpower to stop 3G when screen off.

I had been using the 12.08 kernal and had great success. 36 hours before needing a charge. Medium use, mostly net. Switched to 12.10 based on feedback. First day great success. Today, recharged, no bump, used the phone for ten minutes and then let it go to standby. I was at 94%. Came back fifteen minutes later.... The phone was down to 31%!

I don't know why, but horrible performance. Back to 12.08.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Read a few posts above. Stated not to use 12/10-2 because of that issue. The battery life is great but it doesn't charge right. Says its charged without actually charging.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] edripiii:
It had been charging all night. Does it not charge?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobby janow:
I'll bet your eyes were weird or something. It probably showed 34% and not 94%. I though my charger was wack-a-doodle this morning when I saw my phone at 47% until I read this thread. It doesn't charge, you are correct.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rockehill10:
I am using the stock ROM and mine 12/10 #2 charged fine--at 100% this morning. It just did not do as well without the bump charge. I still went back to 12/8.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bigman420:
i think people would be wise to stay away from setcpu.

i use Overclock Widget, you can find it in market, search for: overclock widget

it allows u to set separate off-screen freqs, but u cannot set governor with it.

luckily, default gov is smartass, the one u want.

i must have some weird phone, cause i flashed 12-10-2, used it for a few mins off charger, recharged it while on, and it acted like i did a bump charge.

i use myn's rls 4, 2.x.7 radio, oem battery (red).

Also, why is 128mhz the lowest i can set for off screen? is it possible to cook a kernel with an even slower min freq?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
I honestly don't know if I could get it to scale lower but if it did you would likely miss calls and texts.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bigman420:
ok, makes sense. thanks for making the best kernels yet!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 29629:
Running Skyraider 3.3.5, have definately found scaling down lower than 245 causes the phone to have a great deal of trouble when turning screen on and definately missing calls and texts.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PGleo86:
so it works on myn's warm two point two right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
Yes it does.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
It doesn't charge for me.... I had my phone "charging" all night and first thing this morning when I went to use it, it shut itself off... I couldn't get it to turn back on.

When I plugged it in, it finally turned on and was at 7% battery thereby explaining the reason I couldn't get it to turn on.... flashed back to 12/08.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PGleo86:
Thanks Lee :D you've been saving my ass lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PGleo86:
K I got it running :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
While I didn't have anything as problematic as what done of the earlier posters were finding, I did find that the battery life was noticeably worse than with the 1208 kernel. As such, I flashed back to the 1208 and an now eagerly awaiting the next release :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
My favorite so far is 1210. Running it now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
How does the battery life on that one compare to that of the 1208?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
I didn't test 1208 extensively for battery life. 1210 seems good, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's not the same since he added a little performance back in. personally I think it has a good balance, but my battery requirements aren't very demanding. It's hard to give a meaningful assessment because my moderate might be your light. But I think its excellent.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
Alright, I'll just give it a test run tomorrow then to see how it works for me :P Thanks for your input!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jwood:
Hmmm, Iam not having an issue, unlocking works fine, no missed calls and get all text.. running this kernel and SR 3.5 on three phones with no issues except FANTASTIC BATTERY LIFE!

Running SkyRaider 3.5 Incredible Rom with Chad 1208 kernel & Uncommon rosie pack.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PGleo86:
1208 ****ed up my phone -_-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
Care to explain?

Im sure we can help you out since no one has had a horrible problem with it yet

And before anything im going to ask did you wipe dalvik before install?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] parkson:
User error
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jamesiaustin:
I think this is the best one yet thnx
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
Alright, I'm sorry but this kernel is starting to piss me off. Every single time I flash it, it causes bunch of random force closes and no signal. Referring to 12/08. I've redownloaded it, cleaned dalvik cache before flashing, everything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WoZZeR999:
You don't need to clear dalvik, you need to clear the cache partition. The kernel has nothing in dalvik, but some kernels have stuff left over on normal cache (cache partition on cwm)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DizkoDan:
First, thanks Chad for working on these kernels.

I installed the 12/10 kernel on 12/11. So far performance has been good, and battery life has been pretty good as well. However, this morning I noticed something bothersome. I have Titanium Backup set to do different batch jobs over night (like 2am), 3 nights a week. This morning when I looked at my phone at around 8:00am, I noticed that the job was still running, and only about 30% complete. I left the screen on and watched it complete in a few minutes. I'm guessing it would take most of the day to complete with the screen off.

So my question is, isn't 245/245 screen off too low to actually do what it needs to do? In the past when using SetCPU, most people agreed that setting the max lower than say 384 would cause problems processing.

Using SR 3.5 no SetCPU.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
I wondered about this. Is it not possible to have the sleep behavior be aggressive about staying at 245, but scale to something higher if some process needs it? Or is it required to have the same scaling settings as awake, just with different min/max?

EDIT: Or alternatively, if someone has a need for a speedier sleep, could we install SetCPU and just change the sleep profile to different min/max?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] baciv:
I very much appreciate all the work on these kernels, chad. Battery life is clearly a prime focus, which I respect. With that in mind, after 4 days on the 12/08, I have to say I've come to the conclusion that the phone is simply no longer charging when Off. It charges faster when On over some other kernels I've tried, so that's what I'll do going forward. But any attempts to bump, or charge when Off, show negligible or no charging whatsoever. Just passing on my experience.

I'm running it under Virtuous 3.1.0.

Also a minor point is that Touiteur force closes on each boot. That hasn't happened for me prior to this kernel. As I said, minor point, I can live with that, but feedback is feedback.

Thanks again for your hard work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wraithdu:
I would think your problems are isolated to your device, and I (and most others) haven't had any issues like that with any of these kernels.

As a practice, before flashing a new kernel I do these

1) delete all modules from /system/lib/modules

2) advanced nandroid restore just the boot partition from my stock froyo OTA backup

Step 1 makes sure all modules are replaced by the new kernel, and step 2 makes sure the kernel is being updated from a known good backup. For those that don't know about Koush's AnyKernel updater script, it uses part of the existing kernel to create and install the new kernel. So if the current kernel is corrupted in any way, then flashing a new kernel is useless and will also likely be broken.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] danman7:
Are you referring to the screen off, or the phone being powered off?

I could be way off base here, but I fail to see how the kernel could effect charging (or anything, for that matter) while the phone was powered off. If powered off, the OS and subsequently, the kernel, aren't doing anything at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] danman7:
10 characters
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
It appears 1210 charges when off. I rarely do so, but last night I powered down and plugged it in. When I turned it on this morning, it was at 100%, and stayed that way for awhile (almost an hour as a matter of fact, though it was mostly asleep). But I am with danman... how can the kernel effect a phone that is turned off?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
Thanks. This is useful info. I didn't even know I could do this.

Hopefully final smartass changes

Updated yaffs2 to latest stable

Added ext4 support

http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.32.26-incredikernel-12132010_signed.zip
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
I'll play with it and see what I can do.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jumperalex:
Installed ...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jumperalex:
So what benefit is yaffs2? I looked up the wiki and it seems to be mostly involved in dealing with write-once nand. Not sure how that helps us.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
our system and data partitions are yaffs2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
Is the smartass govern much more aggressive with scaling then it was on the 12/8 build?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Slightly, yes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cduru:
I just installed the 12/13 kernel; so far, it's been more responsive than the 12/10 had been especially when waking the phone up from screen-off mode. Hopefully, it stays that way. I was wondering however: does overclocking our phones from 998mhz to 1036mhz/1075mhz actually yield more benefit? And, does our battery life take a major hit because of this? I must admit that I like seeing my cpu at over 1ghz, but I just wonder if it's worth it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rockehill10:
As always, thanks for all your tireless efforts. Your are tenacious.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Made a typo in the wake freq, my apologies for anyone getting slowdowns on wake with the new one. Recompiling and re uploading now.

Edit: Back up, please update to 12/13-2 (it will say #1 in software information).

Thanks,

-Chad
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rockehill10:
To bump or not to bump! Does this new kernel do anything regarding "bumping"?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
Yay another version to play with :) How is this one supposed to compare with 1210 as far as battery/performance goes?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadsterflip:
Anyone using this foe the new cynogen rom 6?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NickB95:
3 things:

1) will this work on desire/ can anyone link me to one for desire

2)will this work on non-sense roms? (mainly cyanogen and miui. want to try them, but cant bear to part with my leedroid that has gpu+)

3) can i increase the clock speeds to 1.19/ use this in conjunction with my current 1.19GHz froyo kernel?

thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible Android Development] baciv:
my phone is loving this one so far, much snappier all around.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
No bump charge fix in this one, an official release won't have one until we know it works/doesn't destroy batteries in minutes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GideonX:
1) No

2) No

3) Huh what?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DaGunn:
Chad,

Would the litmus test for whether the bump charge mod works, be:

1) Charge phone, while it is on, until the LED turns green; then,

2) Turn phone off and charge, indicator should stay green?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rockehill10:
I loaded the 12/13-2 kernel last night and I am using the stock ROM.

As indicated above, I charged the phone over night and had a green light this morning--it was at 100%; I powered the phone off and waited until the green light came back on--bumped charged.

At this point, I powered the phone back on while still keeping the power cord attached. When the phone powered up, it showed a charge of only 93%, even though the light had been green. It was not charged to 100%. With the phone now in sleep mode, I recharged it to the green light aqain--it took about 15 minutes to get the green light again and this time it was at 100%.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] snatchmouth:
12/13/2010-2

Works flawlessly thus far. Using SetCPU.. for screen off, I've scaled between 128 and 245 with smartass gov... seems to bounce out of screen off much better.

SR 3.5 Sense w/Incredible Revolution

Thanks and excellent work Chad!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dabomb697:
Can I flash this if I'm not using a custom Rom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
You should be able to use it just fine as long as you're still on a Sense ROM. As always, do a nandroid bckup first. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dscribe:
Yes. It should work fine on a rooted stock Incredible.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Solar257:
Rocking the 12/08 Kernel and I'm liking it. I wonder if trying to remove the necessity to bump charge is a good thing as it seems like the way our phones are designed to charge the battery is a way to extend the life of the battery itself.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=871051

http://androidforums.com/htc-incredible/232682-bump-charge-fully-explained-we-may-have-deal.html

In essence all this kernel work to extend battery life could be for naught if the battery we're using doesn't hold a decent charge. Or am I just crazy?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
The battery life on the 12/13 should be slightly less then the 12/8 right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Solar257:
Also, for those of you with Launcher Pro issues, what are your memory usage settings within the app?

For me, from preferences > advanced settings > memory usage settings:

my memory usage preset is light

I Use homescreen caches

My homescrene cache type is light

I do not build caches as needed

I do not clear caches on exit

I do prevent force closes.

When I used a normal homescreen cache type (choosing either to build or not build caches as needed), or I cleared the caches on exit, I noticed lag going from one screen to the next. Also I did not notice any degradation in performance between Light and any other memory usage preset above it, so long as the settings above stayed the same. Even with all this, when I zoom out to preview all screens (I use 4) there is still lag. Perhaps it's the launcher and not the kernel as I saw the same functionality when using the stock kernel. Perhaps this is something a rewite of the app will fix?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
I have it set to max memory, use caches, normal cache type, build caches as needed unchecked, clear caches unchecked, and prevent force closes unchecked.

Most of the time, I don't have a delay. When I do, it's when I haven't done a thumbnail view in awhile. But... it's always been like that for me. Since 1210, I feel it's as fast, if not faster than stock.

I noticed with 7 screens it's worse. I currently use just 5.

I suspect, or hope, the rewrite will clear that up. When I played around with ADW, it seemed a bit snappier, though I didn't have as much on each screen when I was testing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mahkee:
Been running this for awhile now with SR 3.5 and it is Flawless! Amazing work Chad. Thank you for the hard work man.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dabomb697:
This kernal is crazy. I was getting in the low 1100's on quadrant before it and now I'm getting in the mid 1300's!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rockehill10:
While I really like this kernel, it does seem to reek havoc on battery status apps. I am using the stock 2.2 ROM. After 10 hours of uptime since the last power off bump and 58 minutes of awake time, I was still at 84%. Experimenting with something that has happened before using these kernels, I powered the phone off and back on. The percentage dropped to 74%.

Is anybody else experiencing this condition although I may be the only one still using the stock 2.2 ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Chad man glad you updated the kernal. I love your work this bad boy is awesome. With the new one on Carbonite I got a 1700 steady score I gave you some major props in the Carbonite addons thread.

Cheers,

Shokouhi
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JaydenR:
Dude this kernel rocks. Awesome work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
1213-2 seems to be the best one yet (seeing as how they've all been excellent, that's really saying something). Performance seems to be better than 1210, yet battery is pretty much on par with 1208. I didn't measure exact usage time vs. battery, but I ended up getting around 8 hours or so Awake time with the stock battery - truly Incredible. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] parkson:
Latest kernel is the goods!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Addicted2Droid:
Gave the latest kernal a try and it is superb. Yesterday my battery drain was rediculous even with the phone off. Today after my phone sits for over an hour the battery level didn't move. We shall see how the rest of the day goes but I don't see anything changing ...great work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] .G.T.I.:
Do you just use ROM manager to install this?

EDIT: Flashed this and lost my touch screen. Anyone have this issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
Strange little charging issue last night. I normally charge to 100% before I go to bed (I don't leave it plugged in all night). So I had plugged it in when the batter meter read 66% and charged to 100% and unplugged.

I got up this morning, and the meter was at 63%. 3% is about my normal loss overnight, so it's almost as if it didn't charge. I have this app (System Panel) that is monitoring cpu, and it never showed anything using more than 3% of the CPU. So either it wasn't really charging, or something else decided to drain the battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rockehill10:
Chad,

I did this same experiment again this morning as I did above. After bump charging to the green light, with the phone powered off, I turned it back on with the power cord removed this time. Again, it only showed it was powered to 94%, not 100%. Leaving phone on but in sleep mode, I plugged the charge cord back in, got the orange light. In 30 minutes it charged to the green light and showed 100%.

I am running the 12/13-2 kernel and the stock 2.2 ROM. Is this a problem with the charge indicator or is it not charging to a full 100 % when powered off.

Also, as a number of others have indicated, the battery percentage may stay the same or move in only very small increments over a long period of time. While this appears to be excellent, again, if my phone is powered off and then powered back on again, the percentage will drop up to 10%.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Sure you're using 12/13-2? That was the issue with a previous test kernel that was posted that was not an official release (one with a potential bump charge fix).

Try clearing your battery stats. The kernel has nothing do with charging when the phone is off, when the phone is off it acts as a normal "dumb" charger.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
Chad, that is what I thought too. My kernel version in Software Info is: 2.6.32.26-incredikernel-12132010 chad@sdmbook #1

I had gone back to 1210 after that issue with the test release, then from there, to 1213-2.

I recharged this morning, and it seems to be holding up normally now. I'll keep my eye on it, and see if there is some pattern.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Hopefully you had done a nandroid backup and all is well... right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AndrewGL:
No what he was saying is if the software error was kernel related like you said, changing the kernel would fix the problem. The reason the ruu fixes the 3g issues is because after you Ruu and factory reset, you need to reactivate your phone, which totally wipes all prl data, and reinstalls it. The problem is thought to exist there, caused by corrupt data.
