I ran RC3 for a week it was great. The latest is better for me. I'm on MIUI at the moment. I did notice some heat with RC3....nothing out of control though only when using it hard. This latest ones battery life is sick I'm diggin' it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hightech316:
I have found the latest release much better with overall battery performance and haven't ran into heat issues ive had with others
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
The performance of this kernel is amazing and I haven't run into any heat problems even when overclocking to the max on cm7.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] whojabacod:
Soooo..... how's the sense kernel dev'ing coming
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jrkoffjonson:
DEAD. j/k though :P

Goe AOSP, plenty of good stable ROMS good for that.

If I could figure out the artifacting issue, there would be one out within minutes. I've tried pretty much everything one would think could cause the issue to no avail. Its pretty much driven me up the wall. Still working on it when I can though.

I'm using latest with cm7. Anyone having stock browser fc issue? With cm stock kernel didn't have the problem. Not sure if kernel is prob but seems possible.

+1 on the stock browser f/c issue
[Droid Incredible Android Development] emieczko:
Curiously, I am not having that issue... The only issue I have is lack of text wrapping, but I think that's a known CM7 issue that's been fixed in the latest nightlies, just not "built" yet...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cac2us:
Is there a common link that trigers the fc?

I am running chad0989's current kernel with nightlies #54, I mostly use Dolphin or Opera.

When I do use the native browser, I don't notice anything strange...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FramCire:
Everything tends to cause fc. I moved to dolphin as well because everything was causing fc on stock. Stock kernel seems ok. Trying it again for now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
It's unlikely to be a kernel issue. If a kernel is causing fcs, most likely you'd be getting tons with everything because of instability. The exception being if an app is trying to communicate with a specific piece of hardware in a way that the kernel doesn't support, or support for that piece of hardware is borked, which in that case you'd have issues with all or most other apps trying to communicate with that hardware.

If you notice lots of fcs with everything and can narrow it down to kernel; meaning you did a complete wipe, everything worked (and not just running it for a minute). Then you flashed the kernel, everything is messed up, you flash another and everything is fine, then you flash the kernel that you thought caused the issues and they came back, then its likely a true issue. Also, make sure you're running stock voltages when bug testing because anything less than the defaults, which have been generally accepted as stable for everyone, and you're risking instability and possible issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Ha, I wish it were that simple. Right now though all kernel work is going on the back burner for a bit because I have 13 exams in the next two weeks.

Dumb question the voltage tweak in the OP I have them loaded and works fine but can they make battery worse or only better?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Lower voltages should equal better battery life.

Thanks. and... Thanked!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] POQbum:
I've never heard of it making anyone's battery life worse.. they *are* draining less battery per whatever CPU speed you set it at, and CPU is one of the biggest battery drains in the phone.

BTW the latest CM7 (#55) runs really awesome with this kernel. All the tiny bugs I thought they wouldn't fixed are all fixed. I'm really loving my phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Spontaneous:
Just tried this kernel in place of my usual go-to of Invisiblek. Liking it so far, but having trouble with the automatic backlight levels on CM7. I was wondering if someone could share their levels?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
I've got to say, I recently flashed the optional aggressive voltage table in the OP and have been experiencing fantastic battery life.

5 hours since unplugged

2.5 hours of heavy phone use

30 minutes of that was fpse (PlayStation emulator)

I'm only down to 78%. I'm on the 2150mah, but this is the best battery life I've achieved on this phone by far. I've not experienced a single hiccup so I guess my snapdragon can handle the low voltages!

Thank you Chad for providing a new standard for kernels. I hope you figure out how to solve the sense issue because I dont think I can live without the awesomeness your newer kernels come packaged with.

L O V E the update to the OP! However, my money says it wont change anything! ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
I almost feel like this could be called "final". I have zero issues with 'er on MIUI. Everything's so stable, battery lasts better than it ever has, buttery smooth even underclocked pretty aggressively.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbdan:
+1 I'm using it with latest MIUI as well 128-768 MHz with smartass. Battery is stellar
[Droid Incredible Android Development] d08speed3:
For funs and giggles I underclocked to 768/128 and I can't believe how snappy it is still on CM7!!! Still feel like its past 1GHz. Can't even tell it was underclokced at all!!! Gunna try out these settings to see how battery life increases!!! INSANE!!! haha.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] baram:
this is the same setup i use ever since Chad mentioned that 768 was one of the break points for higher voltages. a step above that and it jumps up. agreed with the snappiness, never really have issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bradm23:
I was just wondering if the new post in the dev section does the same thing as the voltage tweaks mentioned in the OP? Also are these voltage tweaks flashed in recovery?

thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] neur0tk:
I am running the 4/19 with the flashed voltage tweaks... I also have the automatic backlight numbers that Chad has posted up.. CM 7.0.2.1 and I am running great ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] reaper7881:
Whats the battery life on it like im running tiamets 3.38 and its pretty good so far
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Droid_JD:
The voltage tweaks in the OP were too much for my phone, but the -viper- ones in the Dev section were much less dramatic and were something my phone was able to handle.

Yes, you flash them in recovery.

Best to nandroid first and then try each one, flashing the "reset voltage" file each time.

It looks like the tweak scripts undervolt the current table by the mv indicated in the file ( so if you do the -25, then the -50 without the reset in between, you get a -75mv). I don't know anything about coding, but I looked at the script and that's what it looked like to me that it did. I could be wrong though.

Hope that helps!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
No, if you flash the -25 and then -50 you get -50mv. The script is just being replaced so whatever you flash last is what you have so you don't need to flash the reset voltage script. Also, if you have flashed the tweaks from my OP and don't delete the 95havsvdd file you will still end up with the voltages from this tweak and not vipers since 95havsvdd will be executed after his 74havsvoltages.

And to clarify and educate since there seems to be lots of confusion surrounding all of this...

Make note that the viper scripts are essentially just doing:

echo -whatever -whatever > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels_havs

so you're just lowering all the voltages by that much, so its being very non-specific. The voltages from the script in my OP have been thoroughly tested by dccoh and are essentially pretty close to the absolute lowest that a phone could potentially handle (if you're one of the lucky ones). So if you want to absolutely max your battery life your best bet is to start with that script and then tweak them individually until your phone is stable.

However, if you don't feel like taking the time to do that, vipers scripts are a super excellent way to just quickly lower the voltages at boot and get some better life, but not necessarily the absolute max.

Since there could be just one voltage that lets say -100 -100 is making too low and causing instability, so instead of raising just that one voltage a bit to make things stable, you end up using -75 -75 or -50 -50 and undervolting everything less than you potentially could.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Droid_JD:
HAHA, yup! I was totally wrong! That's what I get for guessing with no technical knowledge.

Thanks for clearing that up!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rosser725:
Why don't I get good battery life on this kernel anymore?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
Because incredibles never get good battery life unless the screen is off. This kernel gives me the best battery life I've ever had and instill use 1 1800 battery and a stock battery and usually kill both by the end of the day.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
I use a 2150 battery on this with stock kernel and I get like 2 days... switching kernels sometimes screws up the battery life, at least in my case. I also don't have a lot of stuff syncing and soforth, but idk if that is something you have a lot of or not.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Wondering about what temperature is safe for the phone to get up to? I use Chad's latest and OC to 1113mhz and occasionally my temp will rise to around 112F. I used to have a Droid 2 and also overclocked it, I remember people saying temps below 120F were fine but was curious if this phone is any different and what peoples thoughts on this were? Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yopete525:
My phone sometimes heats up when I'm running an app that uses data, and my data connection is weak/sporadic. Running CM7 Nightly #56 with the latest kernel, OC'd to 1113MHz/245MHz, Smartass.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AdhvanIt:
At 48C (119F), your LED will start blinking green and red. Turn off the screen, unplug it if its plugged in and let it cool off. That's too hot. 112F is approximately 44C. That's safe, but I wouldn't let it go much above that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Ah that's right, I remember seeing something about the blinking LED a little while ago. It seems like even when I'm charging and browsing/watching videos/gaming my temp never really goes above around 112, even with the overclocking. Gonna keep an eye on it though and will definitely back off if it gets up in the 115-119 range.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
Lol I just use my phone ALOT. I always have more screen on time than off. I also leave brightness on auto and 3g always on.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] staringatpuddles:
Out of curiosity, does it matter what kernal you use if the phone is turned off while you are charging?

i'm having issues with recording with my camera, tried multiple settings not just 720p...is this a kernel issue or a CM7 issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
CM7 issue! We won't get 720p until an official release of gingerbread comes along. :( If you are can not record on high setting then you may need to upgrade your build. Stable 7.0.2 and nightly builds broke the cam but the latest stable 7.0.2.1 fixed it and the nightly release after the stable fixed it also I think.

Im running MIUI and just installed your kernel, what can I overclock it to and it still be stable?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
It just depends on your phone. Some phones can handle overclocking better than others. Work up gradually and see if your phone continues to run stably.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Depends entirely on your phone. Every phone is different.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrsmith35sg:
What kind of battery life can I expect on a stock rom? I've got my thunderbolt all taken care of, and my g/f is really looking for strictly better battery life on her DINC
[Droid Incredible Android Development] POQbum:
Depends on a lot of things.. like what ROM you're coming from and how you use your phone.

In general I haven't found any other kernel to beat this one's battery life or performance. Make sure you try undervolting, it saves your battery big time. If it starts acting weird you can just remove it, since not all phones can take it ok.

Hey y'all, I have CM7 on my Evo and tried to flash incredikernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=848453 using clockwordmod rom manager. Everything seemed to go fine but now it will not get past the white htc evo 4g boot screen. How shall I proceed? I was going to just reflash CM7 but wanted to see what the 'correct' thing to do is, help please!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
This is a kernel for the HTC Incredible, not the HTC Evo

Edited to add that you should flash an Evo kernel and everything should go back to normal. Or you can re-flash the newest CM7 which will also overwrite the kernel and put you back in business.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
You're in the wrong thread. That kernal is for the HTC Incredible, not the Evo. You'll need to either nandroid back to where you were, or flash an Evo kernal.

Good luck!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrsmith35sg:
Well stock, I've got her phone rooted, but waiting to see what to do kernel wise because she likes everything else the way it is. She really only uses it for heavy texting/fbook, wifi & gps off, brightness very reasonable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] POQbum:
If it's still on stock ROM and you plan on keeping it that way then you should flash this:

http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.32.27-incredikernel-12232010-plus25v.zip

It's stable and the end result of doing so should give better performance and definite better battery life.

I'm not using CM7 at the moment, just switched to MIUI so I can't check but I believe on the CPU Settings page there is a option you can check to "set on boot" or something like that. I think if you check that button it will keep the settings you chose whenever the phone is rebooted.

On the developer's website is where he mentioned the "modified battery driver". I've heard Pershoot associated with the HTC devices, but I'll be honest and admit I didn't even know Pershoot was a kernel until now.

Something I have noticed lately while charging my phone was the notification light would turn green and when I would pick up my phone, it read 90%. I've been keeping an eye on this and it turns green everytime the phone hits 90%. Not a big deal cause I just let it charge till 100% or a bump charge, but was wondering if this would have anything to do with the kernel. TIA
