I know the restore should've fixed it if it was just a software error, but this is still the only thing I've flashed in about a month; I don't know what else would've caused it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bburkhar:
Does anyone know if this will run on skyraider vanilla?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wraithdu:
Regarding the 3G thing, don't forget that all of these kernels also install the associated firmware file in

/system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

A nandroid restore of the boot partition only will not replace this file to the original version!! You'll have to manually replace it in adb shell, or run your system partition restore as well.

On to my question...

I use OpenVPN so I need the TUN module. I noticed it is not a separate module in this kernel, so is it compiled directly into the kernel, or is it missing? If missing, can your next version include it please?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
Interesting.. and thanks for both of your quick replies :) Are you guys getting the lag issue when unlocking? And please do keep us updated on battery life - better Quadrant score + better battery life + smoother and snappier = win :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pete_kowalski83:
im coming from ziggys latest kernel, and screen scrolling for me is super smooth. im on redemptive 2.1.3, and from what I could tell from since yest the battery life is a little worse than when I was oc'd on ziggys at 1075. but just the snappiness of the kernel and wayyy faster battery recharging is worth it to me.

edit: I haven't noticed any lag from unlock
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
In responding, especially with bugs, I think it would be helpful to state which ROM you are running. A lot of you are, but for the rest (especially the guy claiming loss of 3g), I think this would help the dev out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
my 24 hour update is as follows: Running Virtuous 3.1 and previously on stock kernel, quadrant jumped a couple hundy to 1350, battery life seems to be better but one day of use is probably a bad judge, BUT noticeable unlock lag with or without setcpu or screen off settings. So there for back I go! Did a few other wierd things too.

I look forward to more to come.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Compiling a new kernel as we speak. Switched governors to interactive and added some optimization cflags and configuration changes to see if lock screen lag gets fixed. If not I'll increase the minimum off freq to 384. Should help with the lag, at possibly the expense of battery life.

Also anyone whose viewing this running CM6? Need you to try something out for me if you're willing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] broderboy:
Trying this out now

[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Thats fine, let me know if it even boots. Haha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chad0989:
Just posted a new kernel. Let me know if it fixes the lag problem. Quadrant scores may be a hair lower but it will hopefully feel smoother.

Also got positive confirmation from a test CM6 kernel. Will go ahead with some patching and possibly release it into the wild later tonight.

please do increase the min to 384, i cant wait!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] parkson:
If the min had to be set to 384, thus weakening battery life, what would be the advantage of using this kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ilhe1s:
I have been running the 12-13-2 Kernel for 24 hours and I must say it is a significant improvement over 12-8/12-10 and 12-13. It completely charges till I get a green notify light. 12-13 wasn't doing this before. It never reached 100% and notify light stayed orange. Battery last longer on 12-13-2 and and screen on has minimal latency. (Keeper for Now) Thanks Chad.

#5 BFS vs #4 no BFS.

I'm currently on #4 and wondering if I should flash to 5 to try it out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
Bfs is better for low end devices from my understanding and cfs is better for us.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] EnixLHQ:
Had a hiccup with the kernel.

I had my phone plugged in all night as I always do, screen off, with an alarm set to wake me for work.

Instead of the alarm going off, the phone rebooted. It seems that way, anyway, since checking my phone's up time vs. awake time and saw that both were in the 2 hour range (about the time I overslept) meaning that when the alarm was triggering, or was about to trigger, the phone rebooted.

I'm hoping this is a fluke, since I run the alarm constantly and it comes out of sleep mode just fine for that even with this kernel at the newest revision. This is the first time the phone was in sleep mode (does it go into sleep mode when plugged in?) for as many hours as it was.

Just a word of warning.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] parkson:
Would it be possible to get a kernel choice that doesn't set screen off default to 245 max? I think I may be missing alerts and pushes due to low frequency. Also, wouldn't screen off max 245 defeat the purpose of the smart ass governor? Looking for insight
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
This question was posed above. I don't seem to have issues with 245. I thought I did with streaming audio, but I am pretty sure I was wrong. The same day I was having issues with that, I also discovered I was having problems staying in 3g. Both have been fine since.

But that doesn't change the fact some people might. Since there probably isn't a default setting that will make everyone happy, I still wonder if using SetCPU is the answer.

My understanding of smartass, and I could be wrong, is that during sleep, it uses a reduced CPU speed anyway. For some reason I thought 350 or 380 or something, for a max. The entire purpose of smartass was so that we didn't need SetCPU with a sleep profile. Yes? No?

Chad, and others, will know a lot more though.

EDIT: It's hard to find a definitive source about what the different governors do. I have a rough idea by watching CPU speed as I do things... but I think CPU speed is just part of it. Would love to know... just for knowings sake.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 29629:
Installed the 12-13-2,kernel last night. Charged over night. No bump. Normal usage and my battery was done halfway through the day. Shortest battery life of any of chad's kernels so far. Back to 12 -10 for now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DaGunn:
A setting of 245 min and 245 max would render the choice of governor used with the screen off profile mute, as there would be no scaling at all. A min setting of 245 and max of 384 for the screen off profile has been advocated by the majority of users in the various SetCPU threads that I have read.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jazi:
I too am experiencing battery drain/a possible charging problem.

I got a HTC OEM 1500 battery a few days ago. Did the wipe batt stats and let it drain routine. Installed 13-2 over either 8 or 10 (I can't remember which, but I believe it was 8) and went through yesterday without bumping. My phone had 10% battery left after approximately 10 hours. Today I charged overnight, then when I woke up bumped it, that took around an hour. But then I unplugged and replugged and it was was orange again, after 20 more minutes same result. So I took it off and left for school. Right now I am at 34% percent left at 8 hours. With my former battery (the stock 1350) and the old kernel I would be at about 50-60% around now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
FWIW, I'm testing this with SetCPU uninstalled. Running Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS4 and the 12/13.2 kernal.

Pretty good battery life; better than most kernals. Still seeing a little lag when unlocking. Overall, I'd say its a keeper. I'll probably run it all day tomorrow again without SetCPU and then reinstall it to see if it makes any difference.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbeitel:
sadly, i am really having trouble with battery life too. i bumped it a couple times to get a full battery, had great screen off for about 30 mins and then with in the next 1.5 hours (total of 2) I was down over 30 percent and all i did was read some xda and a few web pages. i am ready to give up on kernals all together, i am just not excited about any right now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
30% battery for 2 hours is excellent battery life, assuming you're on a stock battery..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bast525:
I can't speak about batter life as I've been on the charger all day at work, but performance on 12-13/2 is noticeably smoother, quadrant a bit higher, but each significant, noticeable improvement over 12/8
[Droid Incredible Android Development] colonel187:
I'm getting crazy battery life. I'm on SR3.5 min128 Max 1075. 2 hour syncs on social apps. I still have 60% battery left after 12 hours of moderate use. I used to be at 20 or 30%.

P.s. extended battery.

Running 12/13-2 on Senseless Revolution. I had to change my screen off to 245/384 as it seems I have missed a couple phone calls. Also, has anyone noticed pictures disappearing from their SD cards? I lost about half my pictures and most of my videos from the SD Card (luckily, they were backed up). Not sure what could be causing that.

How does one delete all the modules from /system/lib/modules?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
I'd like to apologize for my prior post. I have always been told to wipe the Dalvik cache prior to installing a kernel. Did a restore, wiped just the cache partition and everything installed properly. Tired user error.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wraithdu:
To start, either reboot into recovery and mount /system, or remount /system partition as RW while the phone is running, whichever is easier.

Then at a cmd prompt on your computer:

> adb shell rm /system/lib/modules/*

You could also just use RootExplorer to delete anything in that directory.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ilhe1s:
Root Explorer FTW! I haven't had to type cmd in awhile cause of Root Explorer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stopthebus:
I'm testing the lastest (13-2) with the desire z port.

Everything works smooth except for 1 little problem.

The car charger that i've been using since day 1 does not seem to keep up with the phone.

The phone is hardwired to the audio system and the electrical system. It's usually plugged in and the music player is on while I'm in the car. Today after a 1.5 hrs drive, the phone comes out ~25% less battery than when it was first plugged in.

Don't know what's going on, but just reporting what I've experiencing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] baciv:
I too was having crazy battery issues precisely like those some have described here, and then read a post recommending wiping the cache partition when installing a kernel, which previously I had not been doing. I can't state for certain (after less than three days) that my battery issues have cleared up, but they are most definitely not as crazy and pronounced as previously.

I honestly don't know enough about this subject to know if it's even possibly relevant to these battery issues, but wiping that cache was the only change I made to my flashing process, and I have seen significant improvement.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Addicted2Droid:
I have good battery life but seems xda is a battery eating pig. Be sure to exit the app rather than backing out. Maybe its just me but it seems like the app eats more life than others
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rbt2:
I'm running 12132012-2 w/ Virtuous 3.1and the IncRevolution theme. After charging my phone all night (while it's on), if I go online to download updates, etc it drops like a rock from 100 to 90 or 93 in just a few minutes.

I've cleared my cache and deleted everything in the system/lib/modules folder prior to re-flashing but the battery still drains awfully fast. It's a Seidio 1750.

Might this be a sign of my battery going bad (I've had it since the Dinc came out)? Is bump charging in or out w/ this current kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dmtalon:
This is unfortunately very normal behaviour (for the phone regardless of rom/kernel/battery)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
As stated by Dmtalon, this is normal behavior. This thread has more detail:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Xer0daze:
I saw a brief comment by xShin earlier saying he was unable to use GPS since installing this kernel. I am having the same problem. I went from KiNgxKernel-Inc-5.2.6.32.24 (CFS #5) with radio 2.15.00.07.28 (using Skyraider 3.5 with Uncommon Sense theme), where GPS worked fine. I updated to incredikernel-2.6.32.26 and, although battery was greatly improved, GPS stopped working entirely. I use GPS Status from the marketplace to reset all GPS cached data and downloaded GPS assistance data as well, still... nothing. It doesn't lock the GPS at all.

I then updated my radio from the official froyo radio to the leaked 2.15.00.09.01 radio and still... no GPS data retrieved while using incredikernel. I then flashed back to KiNgxKernel and booted up and low & behold... GPS data worked once again. Has anyone else experienced issues with GPS? What was done to fix it? Thanks for all your effort on this kernel, other then the GPS issue, the kernel is perfect as far as features and battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bast525:
My GPS is working perfectly. I got a cold start lock after a reboot in about 30 seconds. On the 12-13.2 kernel, mish mashed rom based on the old 8-1 froyo leak, with Lou's Redemption Revolution Framework (a very awesome combination!!)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] setexascustoms:
I'm on the latest kernel, you can see the rest of my setup in my sig. My GPS works great, it takes about ten seconds to lock. That's sitting inside my apartment (WiFi not enabled).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
As far as GPS goes, I flashed from the 9.01 radio to the 7.28, then back to the 9.01, then flashed to the stock kernel and then back to the incredikernel. After this, my GPS started working again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BillLee3:
MicroSD Copy Speed

Hey Chad, what are you doing that NO ONE else is, including HTC? I've tried a couple HTC Kernels and Lou's and they all seem to copy from my microSD card at around 1.9 MB/s. Yours will copy at around 10 MB/s.

Lately I've had fairly poor battery life. I'm rebuilding a very sparse system now to see if it's your Kernel or my install. I wanted to try some other Kernels for comparison, but the slow copy speed was unacceptable since I'm always copying nandroid backups back and forth!

Thanks for what you do!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Battery life has been pretty crappy with this new one.

On a side note (don't know if it's a coincidnce) when I leave the default govenor of the kernal alone (or the same in SETCPU) my phone after being on for 40+ hours does not seem to get hung up at 100% CPU like it was doing prior.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Xer0daze:
Worked. Put stock kernel on there and tested GPS, then loaded incredikernel and bam, GPS worked. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
How long does it take for the bump charge to work? I did that earlier and left my phone on the charger for another hour, now it's giving me a quick drop to 94 percent (though right now it's holding okay).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] billybob275:
I would like to know this as well. All the others I've tried based on the latest htc kernel max out around 1.7 MB/s, and I'm currently backing up nandroids at 11.8MB/s.

Awesome job on this!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
This is perhaps the only issue I've seen with this kernel for me. I am not using SetCPU now, nor have I much since I started running these kernels. But... The two times I was experimenting with it, whenever I changed to another governor, it would sometimes peg the CPU at 100% until I rebooted. I thought maybe it was coincidence too. Maybe not?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Xer0daze:
Haven't tried bump charge per se... but my overall battery life has improved greatly. I have the HTC extended battery (2150mah) and it charges to full (95%) in about 90 minutes using this kernel. Compare this to the 3+ hours it took to charge with KiNgxKernel I was using before. Bump charge will just give you that extra 4 or 5% on your battery, but again, I haven't tried it myself since loading this new kernel.I would say that overall my battery life has almost doubled. I am using SetCPU with screen off profile set to 245 and my main profile set to ondemand 245-998. I would say that overall performance is maybe not quite as good as what I saw with KiNgxKernel CFS#5, or BFS#5... but I can deal with a slightly stuttered animation for 2 seconds when I first unlock the phone, if it means battery life is this greatly improved. I will test bump charge later today and post charge times from a full software charge (96%) to full bump charge to 100%. Stand by.

So, if I'm reading right it looks like most people suggest NOT using SetCPU? I've had no problems at all...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jumperalex:
Battery life for me has been awesome. FWIW I am running setcpu with screen off set to 384/384 and a main profile of 384/1113

I've noticed that at 245/245 wake up is a bit slow and mail sync didn't seem to happen on time. that is, I noticed that mail arrives only after I go back to screen on. It happened several times and seemed like too much of a coincidence. But I admit I did not do any dedicated testing to validate my hypothesis.

And I do not bump charge. But for sure I do notice that if I unplug immediately after the light goes green, my battery does NOT drop 5% right away. That only happens if I leave it on the charger for a while longer. Which jives exactly with what the link above says about how our phones manage battery charge state.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Atlas.rouge:
Out of curiosity, how do you know how fast your Nandroids are backup up, if SetCPU or another speed counter isn't viewable while in recovery? My max DL speed I've seen with the most recent #18 on here is about 1.7 Mbps.

This is absolutely true. I've rotated out 4 different kernels for intensive testing of this and the most recent updated kernel here certainly has this problem, which is disappointing because I really like the smoothness and SD card speeds I get with it.

Currently am using Ziggy's 12-18 cfs beta and am not experiencing missed screen off notifications, although there is slightly more stutter to deal with. Battery life seems good, tho
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bast525:
Weird, guys..... I've been running Chad's latest from day one and have had none of these issues. I have received dozens of phone calls and hundreds of texts and never missed a notification. I use Handcent which also repeats text notifications until the message is checked, and this is definitely working as well. I have two POP and one IMAP email accounts all set to update every two hours, and they have done so consistently. My weather updates every hour as well. I am able to play music, either with Mixzing off my storage card, or streamed with Pandora, without any shutters or hiccups. Battery life has definitely improved as well, especially standby battery life, where the phone can now go several hours without dropping even 1%. I also was able to stream music for over an hour and only lose 10% battery which friggin amazed me. Chad even fixed whatever was causing the issue of the phone locking up completely just after reboot, which seemed to affect me and only me.

While I wouldn't MIND the screen off be set back to 245/384, I don't seem to have any issues at 245/245. This is by far the best kernel I've used and I've tried Hydra, Ziggy, and King kernels. I DO run set CPU on this kernel for the overclocking, and run the full 1.13 ghz. Quadrant scores 1500 consistently. I've run it as long as four days so far without a reboot or any issues of slow down.

I run the old 8-1 leaked Froyo rom with some tweaks. I've never loved this phone more :)

Flawed this kernel onto vitreous 3.1 yesterday

Once phone rebooted after the flash I started getting rapid fire force closures of multiple apps. The phone would never actually open calmly and I had to restore to my last nandroid. I've never run a custom kernel and finally got the nerve to try this after reading great things about it. Can anyone help me understand what I did wrong or what I should do oifferenly. Am running virtuous 3.2.0 today. I upgraded hboot in the process of installing 3.2.0. Would older hboot have nothing to o with my kernel borough?

Thanks.
