With 0.8 HAVS 1113Mhz+CFS (875mV minimum) from Villain setup I use such SetCPU profiles:

Main - 1113-245 MHz - interactive

90 - Temp>55 - 576-245 - interactive

80 - Screen off - 245-245 MHz - powersave

70 - Charging/Main - 1113-245 MHz - interactive

60 - Battery<15% - 245-245 - powersave

50 - Battery<30% - 576-245 - powersave

It is difficult to tell about % but in comparison with stock HTC Desire my battery lasts 1.5 times longer.

For my usage style SetCPU profiles make my battery live for 12-13 hours. Without SetCPU I got approximately 9 hours of battery.

Sometimes phone looks luggish in UI but no reboots or noticeable freezes. No problems with sleep mode and so on.

As for scheduler I ended up with CFS because of some stupid navigation program Navitel which could hardly work with BFS. BFS looks practically better for me but sadly couldn't use it.

SetCPU has a very personal settings for different phones and my settings could be incompatible with other phones than my ))))
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If you press the grey graph at the top of the battery usage page, does that drill down and give any more detail? You can check partial wake usage in Spare parts. That will probably give you the most informative information
[Desire Android Development] RedFeather:
That sounds awesome;

What kernel is it? (its sounds bit weird for me!)

And what are ur settings on SetCPU?

I got a main profile; 960 max, 499 min, powersave.

But maybe there is a moer powersave & faster way to spare some battery?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Firstly, that battery life is not good. You must have an app draining power if you're not a medium / heavy user. Take a titanium backup then do a factory reset. run it for a day and see what your life is like.

Secondly, I bolded a couple of lines in Set CPU profiles. I must say, I personally find battery profiles superfluous. They are not really needed.

However, look at the second line I bolded. Powersave runs at min frequency all the time, so using it with a different max frequency wont make any difference.

Also (first line bolded), if you have the same min and max frequency, powersave wont make any difference from any other governor as it hasnt got anywhere to scale up to. Performance is the most efficient because it always runs at max so it doesn't need to waste time / effort polling CPU to check if it needs to upscale - its already upscaled. However, changing from one governor screen off to another governor screeen on can cause lag so perhaps using interactive (same as screen on), you will get better results.

Thanks for clear explanation. It makes sense )) I changed bold settings according to your recommendation.

My phone suffers extremly heavy usage all over the day so I found my battery life appropriate. It is very important for me to have even 2-3 hours more thanx to custom kernel and power profiles.

We have a sad joke here: "It is impossible to lost Android phone. It is guaranteed to find near the AC power all the time" )))

What BFS or CFS u got? (And i dont know what the diff is, even dont know what BFS or CFS is ><')
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
have you tried the smartass CPU governor with set cpu or cpu tuner?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
HAVS AXI CFS (as per Sig)

BFS and CFS are schedulers. BFS is Brain F*ck Scheduler. CFS is Completely Fair Scheduler.

BFS generally is better performance on a phone but I think they're all CFS for GB at the moment.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Me? Yes. I don't like it. Find screen-on lag is too much.
[Desire Android Development] RedFeather:
Maybe i am a bit stupid but im completely new to the rooting of phones.

Can u give me the download link for that 1? Is it gingervillain compatible?

I may try this kernel now that everyone else says its really good!
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
I tried that a couple of days ago, and it ended in my Desire rebooted and waiting for SIM unlock code; looking into JuicePlotter's history I saw intermittent activity all overnight (continuous reboots).

Not a big deal, indeed.

My advice is to stay to stock Ginger Villain kernels 0.8: now I'm running the SVS-BFS 1113 MHz one, and that's the results:

Now I'm happy again. :)

Google Maps v5.0???

No way! I have installed this ROM v0.4 and then upgraded google maps to v5.0 trough the market...

Am i right?
[Desire Android Development] Charles Collins:
Hi Richard,

Thanks for Defrost and now for this ROM. 0.4 seems to be working well for me on my HTC Desire.

Just a couple of points. In the Power Control widget is it possible to change which widgets that are used. If not, is it possible to add a 3g On/Off widget?

Also, is it possible to add the long press return button option to kill the working application?

Minor points I know
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Try a different kernel. ;)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No... don't think anyone has.. I was trying go see if people had but I didn't get a hops enough response to be able to add it to the know issues...
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
Thank you! Known issues? where can i find them!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well, that looks like a big difference... I am trying it out now.. have always preferred the bfs kernels (dont know why), this one has a bit of issue with turning the screen on.. so will revert... the 0.8 bfs kernel doesn't like my phone either, so revert back to 0.6 kernel for me...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I originally made it smaller so it looked nicer, but made it bigger now.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I prefer 0.6 over 0.8 anyday. Just much better for me, however the Eviollet I like a lot.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well they were on second page, at the bottom of changelog, but as they have been ironed out, there is only one which is there. Which I never came across...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Glad someone agrees (even if u r a new user ;) lol, never seen ur name before), and the screen issue is with 128 screen off profile I think...

If you set 128 -245 conservative screen off, I find it works very well.

@ richardtrip,

If you could post an additional version before the dark tremor a2sd is added, we could use a Data2SD version of this excellent Rom..As it is, we usually remove the a2sd code manually from the init.d and /system/bin for adding Data2SD, but with GV, this seems to create bootloops..Just a wish..There's a lot of request for Data2SD on GV, at the Data2SD thread..

[Desire Android Development] bbk:
@richardtrip and droidzone

i can be a beta tester....
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
When 0.8 was released, Richard looked into why it no longer worked and couldn't see anything wrong.

To be honest I found 0.8 with a2sd much faster than 0.7 with data2sd
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Have you tried Sibere's scripts? His newest one is very fast. I'm using it on my Sense Rom and there's no longer any perceptible lag and in some cases, it is faster..

Right now, I've put GV on the kitchen anvil and reversing the entire process of DarkTremor a2sd addition.. :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Last I used was the one you made flashable which was worse for me than the original script (ext2 loop device) I'm happy with the way things are now though. Being able to use reboot menu ,)

If you remember, aosp doesn't unmount /data cleanly, even using shutdown so its a risk everytime you power off, even with sync and journal.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I agree about the unmount part..

But the zip you refer to wasnt specific for GV...hence there are a lot of issues to be addressed..By the way, snq reboot menu works fine on data2sd..It's only the hot restart option that has issues..But anyway aosp doesnt seen to have it..

a2sd is too limited imho..However to each his own..
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It is but coupled with custom mtd, I have everything I need now. Plus I'm not constantly writing back to sd

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Can also occur when voltage is too low.

When does the reboot occur? Is the phone being used or is it idle? If the latter, try clocking the min frequency higher

would you be so kind as to add some eviollets's kernels to Villain setup and to fix mods which couldn't be downloaded (ex. Green battery percentage - GV_09_green_bat_%.zip -Not Present).

There was also an issue with BluFrostGengervillain with dissappeared boot menu don't know if proper file is on the location.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
But not everyone wants to use them and its extra work to keep updated.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
I don't use VPN, but I can suggest to wire your Desire to a PC, issue an 'adb logcat' command and try to setup and fire your configuration. Then post back here the relevant part.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Right.

There's absolutely no need of a third-party kernel, see my sig. ;)
[Desire Android Development] bbk:
@richardtrip : Could you include in next Rom version the "Radio FM" v0.5 ?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Disagree. Its always good to have options and I really like the eviollet kernels.

However, adding every third party kernel or mod to Villain setup causes overheads. I'm sure we all have the ability to download and flash these ourselves.
[Desire Android Development] art_sn00p:
As I could catch the storyline it is not completely 3rd party, just original Richards' kernels with "few" patches and same base ))

[Desire Android Development] omohat:
I recently upgraded from 0.5 to 0.9 and had some weird experiences. Basically my battery life was ALOT worse with 0.9. For example my phone would idle at about 5mw with 0.5 and with 0.9 this figure jumped to 30mw+ (also the phone was running much warmer than previously which was a hint that something was wrong). The culprits seemed to be some Android processes (debuggerd was a common process that kept cropping up).

I noticed the issue was worse after moving the cache to SD as advised (I use the N1 Hboot) so I reinstalled 0.9 and this time didn't move the cache (although I also changed the HBOOT to the Sense one). Things seemed a little better this time (idling at about 10mw) and the phone seemed to be running stably so I flashed the ManU kernel and the battery life is back to where I was with 0.5. Any ideas why my battery usage was so bad initially?

As an aside, when I had so much trouble initially upgrading to 0.9, I decided to try a few other Gingerbread ROMs (CM7, Amathyst, Oxygen & Redux) - none of them comes close to GV IMHO; the others are either not as stable (Amathyst and Oxygen kept rebooting) or they lack the built in apps GV comes with making them less convenient to use.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Originally the kernels were based on the 6.1se Defrost kernels, yes. The GB ones however, not sure. I think they are all quite different from their original source now however.

Even so, if you put it in Villain Setup, where do you draw the line?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I do agree, however, I think maybe in the first or second post to put a mods section, showing all the mods... but thinking.about it that is a lot of work for RT.. instead of downloading the file, then uploading to his webspace and then the apk.. I'm.not too sure lol...
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
The 35 based kernels are very loosely based on Richard's 6.0c kernel.

And, I agree that the kernels shouldn't be in the Defrost or Villain setup. Otherwise, why not add coutts, vork, etc?

Everyone should try out the kernel he/she wants to and see if it works out for them. I'm pretty sure that my kernels aren't good for everyone.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I'm on the n1 hboot, with over 1000 apps, with cache2sd and het a draw of 4ma with manu kernel (wifi is off at the moment) so I would put it down to being the install...

[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Since you sound so self-confident I'll try that kernel next.

I just can't accept poor batt life on smartphones...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Maybe ask someone clever to build an app, that acts the same.way as villainsetup, but with all kernels found on the xda desire boards, sense kernels, aosp kernels, all of them, and then download that app if u want/need it... villainsetup is obviously just Defrost setup which was made by judison, and I guess that just points at Richards apachemod hosting ( http://xda.richardtrip.org/ well the relevant folders).. is anyone smart enough for that?

I think the forum is a perfect way to share the mods ppl make, and don't think everything should go into villainsetup, and think this would be the perfect way to get around this..

If someone extra clever made it, it could even look at what phone you have (like Rom manager asks before you flash a recovery) and then show all mods for that phone, not only desire...

Just a thought I had... :)
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
WOuld be nice.

The problem is... we need to find someone clever... Where the hell are we going to find that?

[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
You're welcome. :)

Most kernels end up in sucking battery juice via some "wifi supplicant" or "suspend" processes/services, perhaps after a few days of use. The 0.8 SVS-BFS by Richard doesn't do that, and in post #2577 I showed how. ;)

Remember to NOT install SetCPU.

I'm guessing a clever one, if ever found, could use villainsetup (if opensource) and just point to different update.xml. Then he/she would just need to maintain update.xml
