[Droid Incredible Android Development] Trigg_S:
I'm running 02/27 plus CM7 RC1 #11 and everything is working. The battery life is still pretty good even without CM+havs. Hopefully they'll put it back in. I usually update on odd numbers nightly that way I get a solid day or two messing with the rom. Thanks again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bongholio:
I'm on #12 and the latest kernal and my phone lasted about 7 hours.. is there something wrong here?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
You need to run it for at least a charge cycle since the battery is handled differently.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bongholio:
Ok thanks a lot chad so let it die then fully charge then battery wipe?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] titans808:
Hey chad, I was usif your kernel and all of a sudden my games (maybe apps too, haven't tested enough, coin pirates and bejewelded 2 are confirmed ) started randomly closing (not force closing ) on me. I wiped dalvik and reinstalled but I'm still having the problems....any suggestions ? Thanks for the kernel (12/23 sense kernel )
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bongholio:
anyone...?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xxxdc5:
fully charge, turn off the phone and let it charge til green light, turn on, make sure it's 100%, turn off and let it go to gree, then boot into recovery, delete stats and let it boot up ALL THE WAY before you unplug and do NOT charge it again until it completely dies
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bongholio:
thanks do i just wipe battery stats or what else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
This is a terrible idea as our batteries aren't designed to die and iit damages them. Your killing the capacity everytime you do this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ptsmith24:
+1. See the thread "your battery gauge is lying to you"
[Droid Incredible Android Development] arnmsctt:
I'm not getting any consistency on the CM6 kernel running CM6.1RC2. Sometimes it's smoking fast but sometimes it's very laggy and reminds me of my girlfriend's unrooted, blurred out Droid 2. Linpack scores have varied between 3 and 35 with quadrant going from 656 to around 1600. The inconsistency occurs with and without set cpu installed. Cache and dalvik both cleared. The lag is very frustrating so it's a no-go for me at this point but hopefully it gets smoothed out. Thanks for your efforts. Even if I'm not using it, I appreciate the hard work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] colonel187:
In my experience. Every bfs kernel I've ever use has produced lag even though quadrant scores high. Despite the theory that bfs is better I think its garbage. Not puting you down. Good work on the new kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ncwildcat:
Great work!

In my experiences, the BFS kernels are great at the current open app, but they don't multitask very well, which is what the phone is designed to do. I think that CFS is much better for the phone for this reason. Just my 2cents.

On another note, I have dabbled in the source a bit and I obviously at this time don't have the skills to get it to work, so from me I really appreciate the work you are doing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wraithdu:
Thanks for the TUN module, it's working well!

IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL:

I noticed, though, that you didn't disable perflock. Until that is done in the kernel, user will have to do so manually via SetCPU before they can adjust clock frequencies or set any profiles.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jitajt:
same here, I had it running for about 20 Hrs and the terrible lag started, and the home screen kept FCing on me. I am running MIUI.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Hopefully the latest scheduler will fix the lag issues once I implement it. Thanks for the feedback everyone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] intersysx:
Boot Loop

Installed the new kernel with TUN. Using Virtuous ROM 3.1 Wiped Dalvik

Got Boot Loop

Installed kernel without ROM - wipe Dalvik - still in Boot Loop

Now any kernel I try is giving a Boot Loop - sighhhhhh
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Nandoid backup?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] intersysx:
Thankfully YES
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
I'm using this kernel on CM6 RC2 (not the nightlies) with great smoothness and battery life. No overlook, running SetCPU with screen off profiles, and everything is pretty solid. I haven't noticed any slowdowns or anything like that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
Try without a wipe
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
You realize, gpu+ is a patch taken from aosp? It's in the CM kernel..

As far as lagginess goes, bfs doesn't use cgroups which android uses extensively to manage tasks.. i think that causes the laginess
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BSFL89:
So been running this kernel since the day he released, only ran the first patch did not update to the one with the higher screen off cpu speed. The kernel itself ran fine for me was not too laggy or anything, but battery life was not quite what it was with the stock kernel. So I reverted back to stock. Other than that it was great.

Running Virtuous 3.1.0
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cu-n-az:
BFS 357?

I honestly don't know that much about the "under the hood" aspects of these kernels, but I note that King's BFS #6 is using BFS 357. Possibly there are fixes/enhancements there that would apply in this kernel as well? Just a thought...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enomele:
Very smooth and snappy. Good work, really appreciate the hard work.

Maybe you should get a hold of DroidBee for file hosting and maybe forgo multi upload. Just a thought :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikeymop:
Yea, I read it in the thread. I installed because I liked how King's BFS was, however battery life was morbid and I wanted a good BFS kernel
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bilbobrian:
This is a really smooth kernel, I am running shadowrom 2.2 and am experiencing flawless performance....Thanks a lot for your work. Looking forward to a cfs option. Thanks again :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slorange:
Has anyone else noticed that the phone boots faster with this kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] billybob275:
Working great on Redemptive 2.1.3 so far!

What's the word on using setCPU with this? Will it give better battery life, or will just overriding what the Kernel does on its own negate it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slorange:
I just uninstalled setcpu to see. Benchmark is still over 1500. Just wiped battery stats. Let's see how she does.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbdan:
Finally giving this kernel a try over the last 24-36 hours on CM7 RC1. I've run slayhers stock for 3 days then for the last 2 weeks I've run invisiblek's modded .37 with HAVS and smartass.

This kernel is really nice it does have superb battery life. I'm presently using smartass with 128mHz min and 998mHz and I see what people are experiencing with the 128 being so low. My phone turns on instantly after being asleep, but the slider to unlock is a touch laggy upon first slide. That's it.

I've had no issues and this kernel seems snappier than bleks and the RC1 stock kernel. After all my battery life tests, which I've run only on during the weekends as I can completely control all the variables (wifi, signal strength, time awake, screen on, txt, browse, voice calls etc...), this kernel has the best battery life. Blek's 2nd, stock 3rd.

Incredikernel

= 32 hours on battery, 6.2 hours awake time, 3 hours browsing Dolphin and XDA, ~50 txts, ~30 min voice calls, signal strength same from my home

Invisibleks

= 26 hours on battery, 5 hours awake time, 3 hours browsing Dolphin and XDA, ~50 txts, ~30 minutes voice calls, signal strength same from my home

Stock kernel

= 18 hours on battery, 3.6 hours awake time, 3 hours browsing Dolphin and XDA, ~50 texts, ~30 minutes voice calls, signal strength same from my home

Not using setCPU and I didn't for the stock kernel, but I know it would improve the battery life on the stock kernel. Using TP2 1500mAh battery with bump charge, .28 radio, hboot 92, CWM 3.0.0.8, WIFI only except when send/receiving sms obviously, and custom auto screen brightness w/ AMOLED as seen here: (essentially 25-35% dim indoors, 50% bright indoors, and 75-100% outdoors daytime)

Thank you for giving all of us a choice and another great Inc kernel chad. I'm a contractor and often have no access to power so battery life to me is crucial. I know very little if anything about how these are created, but I would guess that if you could get the 128mHz min setting to be more responsive (maybe that's not possible?) this kernel would be "the one to beat". Of course I can and have bumped up min setting to 245mHz and the slider stops lagging upon awaking, but I love the killer battery life especially while it's sleeping :)

EDIT: it should be said I have not given Tiamat a try yet therefor my "one to beat" comment might not apply
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Trigg_S:
jbdan, you using any widgets? I can get about 18-20 hours off a full charge, wifi on 95% of the time, moderate internet use, ~30 minutes of phones call, and 1 widget for twitter.

I don't have any custom display settings except screen timeout to 2 minutes.

Here is recent screenshot:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbdan:
Yeah I use 3 screens my home has 2 widgets (minimal txt and clock), left screen has full screen launcher pro calendar widget, and right screen has full screen launcher pro contacts widget. Plus I use widget locker with 2 widgets (clock and minimal txt). So 6 in all
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
I asked a couple of pages back but no one answered.

Is there a sense froyo version yet?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
What's the OP say?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gonzlobo:
Oops, I thought this was the CM7 thread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] meazz1:
I am running CM7 #8.

For some reason I am not able to install this kernel (2.6.37.1-...gb-2272011.zip - Gingerbread).

I am getting the non stop splash screen.

I have wiped cache petition and devlik after installing the ROM.

Any help?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] miatamx:
There is a release on chads thread with no havs. You might try it. Other than that a complete whipe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Trigg_S:
Pull the battery out. To boot into clock work from power off...hold vol down then press power. Hold about 10 seconds. You should be good to go to install your backup.

Do a full wipe. Go get CM #12, flash it, flash incredikernal 2272011, then reboot after flashing both back to back without booting in between flashes.

That's what I'm running, how I installed, and everything is working.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bongholio:
is it normal for my android os to be at 13%?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] miatamx:
It depends on what you have been doing on your phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bongholio:
nothing really just texting and sometimes going on the browser.. i just charged my phone then checked and now the android os is at 22%? like whats going on here how can i fix it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gonzlobo:
I had occasional lock ups with 0227 and have been running the latest non-HAVS version with no problems whatsoever.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
03/06/11 - BETA

Patched up to 2.6.37.2

HAVS update

More conservative default voltages for those who were having stability issues

sysfs interface for on the fly voltage modification for HAVS: READ THIS

Lowered wifi voltage for increased battery life

http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.37.2-incredikernel-gb-3062011.zip - Gingerbread

http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.37.2-incredikernel-froyo-3062011.zip - Froyo

Update on sense: Still working on it. The artifacting issue seems to be more complicated than I originally thought. It also affects other devices (at minimum the desire). Will get it eventually though.

If you are a tinkerer and love to tweak your voltages, please PM me the voltage table you settle on as most stable for your phone so I can create a couple recommended flashable tables.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Heathsrow:
I know this is a stupid question, but what do I need to do when flashing this? I am running CM7 Nightly 12.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Nothing. If you want to tweak HAVS though, you read his post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] todd3835:
Catching up in here so sorry if this has been mentioned. For whatever reason, if I am on a call, I can't get wifi to connect. If I am on it before it is fine. And connects fine after. This is strictly a CM7 issue for me on every kernal.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] todd3835:
Working fine for my cheap virgin mobile brand one. Loose fit but was only 10 bucks at best buy. Fast charging working great. It was sold for a blackberry I think but it is a mini USB plug :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] runagt2:
Sorry, what is the tools folder suiller was talking about in his post about the boot script?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xxxdc5:
Will be patient for sense update :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] baram:
figured out my issues a week or so back were due to the 128 min setting. it was screwing with everything for me. running 3.0.0.8 recovery now and just installed the 2.6.37.2 beta you posted. seems to have fixed any instability issues i had in the previous version. props to you!

e: looking at the info tab of time in different clock speeds on setcpu it doesn't seem to be hitting 128mhz while running, but does during screen off. no wake issues yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
You need to get the android-sdk. Its in there.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

The tools folder is where adb is located
[Droid Incredible Android Development] miatamx:
new kernel is locked and loaded

All previous problems are gone. Good job. All is good. Great job. 2.37.2 all so:) this thing is smooking fast. Also in the change log we are going to rc2.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Trigg_S:
Reflashed CM #12 + 3062011 kernal. No install problems. The only app I had that would lock up, crash, and force close was Rocket Bunnies. I've been playing for .5 hours with no problems so far. Fingers crossed :)

Thanks again Chad.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jonbar87:
Thanks for the update!

Does wifi tether work with this version? Could not get it to work on the previous version (Reboots before connected and if connected no internet access)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yolo2die:
The new version works great, for whatever reason no versions work without rebooted since 2.20.2011, not sure why, just could never figure it out...so far so good
[Droid Incredible Android Development] runagt2:
Thanks Chad, I wasn't thinking of adb, I made the script on the phone with Root Explorer. I set the voltages back to what you used in the last update because I never had any stability issues. I might get a little more aggressive and I can report what I find to be stable.

Btw, when does the processor run at 19200 Hz?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] megarek:
No locks in gallery3d so far with more conservative voltages. Thanks chad.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] goldalex98:
Don't mean to sound like a newb...but:

Are people using setcpu with this kernel. I know that it was suggested to set a screen off profile potentially. I noticed that if I don't use setcpu my processor wouldn't clock down to 128 only 245. Is there something else that people are doing? I know in the past it was said that setcpu would disturb the functioning of HAVS. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Use SetCPU (or preferably the CM7 CPU tweak) to set the min clock to 128, and verify the max clock is 998, with a smartass governor. You shouldn't need SetCPU or a sleep profile with the smartass governor.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
+1. Standing by........
[Droid Incredible Android Development] goldalex98:
Okay thanks, so just move the setcpu slider and leave everything else be. I'll try that and see how it works (think thats what you said to do at least getting late for me here). I'm on CM 6.1 I'm probably gonna make the move over to CM 7 tomorrow...

Edit: As a follow up I tried setting cpu just with the slider. However, when the screen was off the lowest the clock went to was 245, once I set a screen off profile for 128 it dropped down to 128 like its supposed to. Not sure if it's something with my phone or if its proper function?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blackstallion:
Just curious as to why you suggest Max clock at only 998 when several OC options are available with this kernel? If you're using smartass then why wouldn't you just set the Max clock at 1113 and let the governor do its job. This is the way I've been setup with no problems. Just a question.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
That works too. Just make sure you set the correct permissions for the script so that it can execute on boot.

And it doesn't ever run at 19200.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Some people aren't stable at 1113.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blackstallion:
Fair enough.

Chad, on a side note, other than adding the capability to adjust the voltages in this latest build, are there any other changes or improvements over the 2/27 version 1 build?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Yeah, its patched up to 2.6.37.2, HAVS has been updated, wifi voltages lowered, I/O scheduler was tweaked slightly
[Droid Incredible Android Development] past_pluto:
Also for some phones using 1113 sucks down more battery than 1036 without a lot of speed improvement to show for it. Hard for me to tell a difference b/t 1036, 1075, and 1113 without some benchmark software telling me but I did notice less battery life going from 1036 to 1113.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blackstallion:
Hum, never looked at it that way, I may just try clocking down to 1036 and see what that does to performance and battery life, as I've been a little disappointed with the battery life when phone is in use...screen off battery life is great though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
I also rarely overclock these days. I have to agree that the real-world performance gain was barely (if at all) noticeable for my daily tasks. In fact, I've recently been experimenting with how low I can scale my Max CPU Freq before the phone starts to feel laggy. This is going to vary a lot from user to user based on how we use our phones.

In regards to its effects on battery life, I did a write-up here while I was still on the Feb 27 version of Incredikernel: Effects of CPU Frequency and Screen Brightness on Power Consumption
[Droid Incredible Android Development] past_pluto:
Battery life does suck when the phone is in use. I talk a lot each day but using the incredikernel and 1036 with smartass I can make it all day without a bump charge. According to this from the incredikernel thread http://chad0989.dyndns.org/sysfsinstructions 1036 runs the same voltages as stock speed but 1075 and 1113 up the max one step.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phaze one:
Nice work on this kernel Chad, this thing is super snappy. Booya.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbdan:
I run it at 128 min and 883 max. I find zero performance difference in daily use between OC'ing and 998 default max. 883 runs cooler and gives that little bit extra battery juice ;)

If you ever notice there is any glitch or lagginess it is the 128 or low end mHz setting. The Inc runs very smoothly even in the 700's mHz range
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
Your findings are similar to my own, jbdan. I've also been running 128/883 lately and haven't noticed any negative impact on overall performance.

But like I said, everyone uses their device differently, so I hesitate to "recommend" these settings to anyone else. It's definitely something that each user should test on his own.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbdan:
Indeed, I didn't recommend it just posting my experience and WISdom ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
Oh, I hear you. I wasn't implying you had recommended your settings or done anything wrong: just explaining why I had eschewed hard numbers in my previous post ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbdan:
Ahh and thanks for explaining those numbers. btw the WISdom is (WIS=watch idiot savant) part of an OCD disease. I'm a watch enthusiast to add to my weirdness in case you wondered what I meant :D)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
I've read Chad's link on voltage tweaking and I have a few questions (for anyone knowledgeable enough to answer)

Should the voltages always scale in increments of 25, or is it OK to use any value? I.E. would it cause problems to try something like...

Frequency, Min, Max
{ 883200, 1211, 1237 },

I don't have any particular need to pick such numbers: I'm just trying to understand what I can and cannot do.

Are certain frequencies and/or voltages more likely than others to cause instability if tweaked?

What do members suggest for a repeatable, controlled test for evaluating stability? Does the test need to check every CPU frequency, or would a min/max check be sufficient, assuming the voltage levels are adjusted globally (like the echo -25 +25 command)? Basically, I'd like to keep bumping down voltages and see how far I can go while keeping the phone stable. Before I start down that path, however, I want to ensure I have a relatively comprehensive test in place. If I can avoid checking all 22 frequencies for each test, that would save me a ton of time, but I realize that might be a lot to ask

Ha. I'd imagine most of us who take a great interest in tweaking our phones have at least one other hobby that is very technical in nature.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] The Black Droid:
So will Chad's kernels work with sense? I'm running SkyRaider 3.5, and am looking for a kernel to boost my performance a little bit. Quad scores are slacking, and app drawer is lagging :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
You'll need to use the Sense kernal from 12/23. It's the latest one for Sense at the moment. See the OP.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Increments of 25 only, anything else gets rounded.

Checking each frequency would probably be the best bet, since a normal benchmark will likely only hit the max frequency since with high load its going to scale to max.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blackstallion:
Jbdan, when I saw that I was wondering if you meant something else or truly WIS from a watch perspective. I too am an aspiring WIS...and peruse WUS just as much as these forums...and I only say aspiring because I don't have the cash free flow at this point to pull out the stops and REALLY "embrace" the disease like a true WIS ;-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] The Black Droid:
Thanks, just flashed it. This thing is lightning fast now, and I am experiencing no lag whatsoever. Thanks for a great kernel Chad!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
Okay, I'm impressed.

MIUI latest with the #6 Froyo. I left it on the charger overnight (meaning some was lost while it was plugged in). For the past two and a half hours I've been using battery pretty hatefully, syncing media via Doubletwist, listening to streaming radio, and having the display at 100%.

Result? 74% battery. That's WAY better than I was anticipating.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] goldalex98:
Have you used setcpu or anything else to set profiles or adjust frequencies?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] neur0tk:
I have a delay on waking my screen up anyone else experiencing that
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbdan:
At 245mHz and smartass gov?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbdan:
Howdy WIS'r! Yup been a member over at the WUS for a few years now I hang in the Omega and Seiko/Citizen forum :D
