You absolute can and should use the battery monitor widget to monitor how SBC is behaving, by looking at the usage (mA) you see the actual current flow into or out of the battery at any given time. It even graphs it for you. When SBC is working properly, the graph forms a very nice smooth curve down to 0, and then bounces back and forth between 2 mA and 0 mA until you unplug the charger. That widget monitors more than just voltage.

Anyways, it apparently was a bug on the phone somehow, and I'm sorry you feel I've cluttered your thread, but since I believe the issue is resolved, I am going to finish this post.

As I said earlier, I wiped all, and formatted all, then re-flashed the CM7 #12 rom, then the GAPPS, then the Kernel, the phone is on the charger now and appears to be behaving properly. I don't know what caused it, but it seems to have been corrected by that procedure. The normal wipe cache/dalvik didn't fix it, but the format all did.

So that said, anyone who is experiencing ANY funky bugs with the kernel, not just battery related bugs, that other users don't seem to be experiencing, I would suggest trying that...I had a bug that it seems nobody else had, and the normal means of "starting over" didn't fix it...but this did. If you've got a bug that not many others seem to have, give it a shot, it doesn't take that long.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luigic81:
using this kernel on Evervolv and loving it. I have 2 questions

1. I was using the Savaged Zen scaling in setcpu and although the battery life was very good, it would lag sometimes, so I went into setcpu and kept swiping my finger to make sure that it was scaling up to my max (1190) and I couldn't get it to go past 768...???

So now I'm using Conservative scaling with a few profiles and it will shoot right up to 1190 with just a few finger swipes. And battery life is still good especially with the screen off profile. So no complaints becuase I have it working how I want, but I assume that the savaged zen scaling is not supposed to cap at 768 right?

2. Are non SBC versions availiable at all? I didnt see any on the download page.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
1. The new verison of the SZ governor scales more gracefully. The only time it will hit max is if you are really crunching the CPU...and that's only when its actually required.

[EVO 4G Android Development] thegregbradley:
Juuuuust in case anyone with hardware 0003 and nightly 8 are reading and wondering whether to go with BFS or CFS, I found that the CFS build of 0.1.2 runs drastically better than BFS on my phone. Hope this helps someone when choosing! I'm loving the battery life with this kernel, thank you to the devs for the excellent work :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
The SZ gov scales by 50 but requires 75% CPU usage to jump to the next step. If you dont use 75% of 768mhz your CPU will never scale higher. if you never use 75% load on 384mhz your CPU will never scale up. This will save allot of battery. Yet when running HEAVY instense games, you will most likley scale up to your max.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luigic81:
Awesome thanks! You guys rock
[EVO 4G Android Development] nate.spangler:
I tried the no SBC version and it runs great until the screen turns off and wont turn back on. Requires a restart and happens again. Reflash the stock cm7 kernel and all is well. My phone is one ofbthe picky ones that doesn't undervolt very well. Always have to use the netarchy less aggressive when I used sense. Could that be the problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
I wasn't sure where I should post this on the official forum site, but your home page (savaged-zen.org), has a redirect loop. I would have mentioned it a couple days ago, but I wasn't sure if you guys knew yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Probably is the problem. I've never seen anyone else with this problem, and I run the noSBC CFS version on a daily basis with no issues. You're phone is probably picky, but I'm no expert on undervolting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nate.spangler:
As I have not compiled a kernel before is this something I could use the source code and compiler and "correct" ? Could you point me in the right direction as far as removing the undervolt
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
just flashed 1.2 yesterday and LOVING IT. running noSBC cfs and have used 9 hrs battery with 70% left. high 1550's quadrants. and smooth as butter (minus adw launcher but that's gb's fault).

if i were you, i would put a warning in the op that the kernels need like a 24 hr "break in" time bcuz i got crappy battery and experiance the first day but great everything now.

thanks a million mw for the nosbc versions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EvoJok3r:
I just went from Warm to CM7 RC1. For some reason it won't let me flash over the kernal in recovery. It keeps saying...

E:No signature (40 Files)

E:Verification Failed

Zip Verification Failed!

Zip Isn't signed Correctly!

:confused:

I've looked everywhere and can't figure out.. Also new to ASOP.

Anyone? :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
in the recovery, turn off signature verification. or if you really want, sign the zip. if you still cant figure it out, tell me which one and i will sign it for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EvoJok3r:
"Toggle Signature"... Thank you.. Just flashed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] anguyen2008:
Wow, what governor/cpu settings are you currently using to get that battery life?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
conservative. great bcuz it sleeps fast and once it wakes up it is very good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luigic81:
I like conservative as well, not as good battery life as SavagedZen scaling but to me it conservative is much snappier
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
I've never actually tried savagezen governor. I'll run it all of tomorrow then.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Personally, I love it. Right now, I'm at 39% with 22.5 hours of usage. That includes using 4g quite a bit. Granted, I have the Sprint extended battery, but that's really good battery life for my usage. I'd say the recent tweaks to the governor are favorable.

[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Haha sounds like me! I just let it run this weekend, and finally put it on the charger at 38 hours running on battery and 19% left. Lots of internet usage (only a little 4g, to watch tv.com), plenty of calls, texts, and some GPS navigation. And I actually was using the stock battery and SavagedZen governor. Long live SZ!

So I've tried the latest versions of this (BFS works better with my phone for some reason) and found that, honestly, going back to .07 gives me more stability and better battery life than any of the more recent versions. Weird.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Askym:
anyone know why they took savagezen governor off cm7 nightly 13?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Kernel governors have nothing to do with the ROM. Are you sure that you have the SZ kernel installed?

Check your kernel version in About Phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] defjef123:
Maybe he didn't reflash kernel after flashing 13?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zmag:
Fixed. Nvm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
All the files and folders in /data/dalvik-cache are automatically created when the phone boots. That's why it takes so long to boot the first time after you wipe it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zmag:
Again, I apologize... I'm stressed out. You have 70 Thanked posts for a reason.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
It's not important anymore. Ignore this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zmag:
I don't wanna cause a fight. I'm sorry for being a jerk, I know your just trying to help.

My question (about the dalvik) is: if it had been successfully wiped, wouldn't all the dates be created at the same time? I know its gonna take longer to boot, because it has to create those files. So why aren't the dates changed to exactly when I boot the phone? This makes me think its not being wiped by CWM correctly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Actually, there was talk a while ago about Clockwork not wiping dalvik right. Most people started using Amon RA because of that (and Clockwork didn't backup wimax keys at the time).

I'd recommend switching to Amon. The Format All zip would probably take care of that, too, actually, since it's in the /data partition. But it would still be better to switch to Amon and know it's getting wiped.

Then, use the Format All zip after your normal wipes. I've been doing that for weeks and haven't had a single problem with any roms I've tried.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zmag:
Thanks man, that makes sense. I really do apologize for my king$#!+ attitude. I've been considering switching to AmonRA but I backed up my original Sense rom on CWM, and I didn't want to switch because I know they aren't backwards compatible.

But what if I: 1) flash my original sense backup. 2) switch to amonra. 3) backup original with amonra.

Then I can flash whatever after that, and have my security blanket (original sense rom), correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Yup. That would work just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mindctrl:
I experienced a different graph and battery history on the second night too. The first night I charged I enabled the battery monitor widget and the charge wasn't the same as it was last night. This is the SBC version I'm talking about. Kind of interesting to see a better charge on the second night than the first. Shrug.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NyghtGT:
Any one "having issues with SBC not working" may have underlying issues not related to

the kernel.

My setup:

hw0003

amtel touch panel

cm7 #11 & 12

savaged-zen 0.1.2 CFS & BFS

I've tested both cm7 11 & 12 mixed with kernel 0.1.2 CFS & BFS and had no issues

with SBC, however...

Related or unrelated me and Josh did have some issues with splash screen freezes

that were related to things not getting wiped properly during installs/flashes. We

attributed it to a mix of being flashaholics and possible cm7 nightly issues cause

it seemed fairly isolated.

To ensure the kernel is installed properly, try wiping cache and dalvik 3x each, and

the run the kernel .zip, this should ensure the kernel is installed properly and let us

know if there is an underlying issue we overlooked. Obviously, your first boot after

doing this may take a little longer, but the next shouldn't.

i just wanna say a little i'm sorry and a thank you. at first, around build 0.0.9, i was one of those begging for a nosbc. i got sort of fed up with the lack of support for the community, and switched away. then when mw***** made the nosbc builds, i gave them about 5 hours to test. of course, this is one of those kernles that need at least a day to break in. so i just switched to tiamat.

but now i'm back, and have to say, this is freaking incredible. getting 18 hours of batt life WHILE testing juicedefender beta (which does more harm than good right now) and getting 1600's consistantly in quadrants on cm nightly 13 (dloading rls2 right now)

what rom? go to settings, about phone, battery. take a screenshot of that. also downlaod spare parts. go to baisic spare parts settings (or if it is there by default) just open battery history. touch the top selector, and select partial wake usage. also take a screenie of that. lets see if we can diagnose your terrible batteyr.

[EVO 4G Android Development] NyghtGT:
My take on the quadrant scores is thus...

When I upgraded my computer ~8 yrs ago from one OS to a newer version it did not

function as fluently with benchmarks, at the time, as it had when I was running

previous software. The software was upgraded but all the hardware remained the

same.

Likewise, I feel comfortable in saying that GB roms will be confined to the same

findings I had back then as we are upgrading software and firmware, but maintaining

base hardware.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ooMikeoo:
Sorry guys but this is my first day with this kernel. I am was just wondering what you guys are using to set your governors. I read in a few different places not to use SetCPU because it interferes with HAVS, if this is not true then I know how to use that but I just didn't want to do any damage or use it if it was not needed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Well, SetCPU is never "needed" per se, but it won't interfere with HAVS, regardless, so feel free to use it.

I'm personally having good luck with the SavagedZen governor.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ooMikeoo:
Without using SetCPU, how would I select the governor?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bwcorvus:
Ondemand is picked by default at 245/998 I believe...if you want to change you can use setcpu. If you have cm 7 you can select a different one in cm settings performance tab also

[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
If you are on CM7 you can change it by going to Settings > CM Settings > Performance > CPU Settings. I think what people referred to with HAVS and SetCPU is the use of SetCPU profiles. I always had mixed feelings about that theory but each phone is different and each user gets different results. You should be able to use it with or without SetCPU. I use the conservative governor which gets me great performance and great battery life
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
What's your Min/Max and Screen off Profile?
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
I don't have any profiles
[EVO 4G Android Development] luigic81:
With conservative governor you definitely want a screen off profile or else your battery will drain alot with the screen off. I run 245/245 screen off, and either 1190/245 or 998/245 screen on depending on my need for speed or battery savings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] IMiLL102911:
Do you set this your screen off profile in cm7 or setcpu? Is there a way to do it in cm7?

SetCPU. The CM7 settings can only configure the governor, minimum, and maximum frequencies.

[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
Savage-bosssness!!

Just wanted to post my results on this amazing kernel:

ROM: CM7 Nightly #13

Full overnight charge (with screen on)

Savage-Zen governor 245/806 (no SetCPU)

WiFi on for most of the day @ work

Light usage (3 email accouts syncing, Loopt updates, few calls, texts, and GTalk conversations)

Turned data off last night while sleeping

To address a common response to great battery life, sure my usage was pretty light which will typically equal good battery life. However, on a great many kernels light usage DOESN'T equal that desired outcome, and certainly not THESE results..other kernels drain fast when not used and even faster when used. No one wants their car to use the same amount of gas when idle with the windows down on a nice day as driving at 90 mph w/ AC on full blast. :D

BOTTOM LINE: BOSSS JOB ON THE KERNEL!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rebosxl:
Given that he BARELY used his phone, imagine how much of his battery life he lost on just being idle. When I was using certain sense roms I would lose MAYBE 1% per hour when I was idle on wifi. Only reason i'm trying AOSP is because I heard about the performance increase and don't really care about battery life since I just bought a 3500 battery. Can't imagine using AOSP and using a stock battery..this thing drains like nobody's business but its fast :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
Noticed the high percentage there on the dialer..is that one of the issues "resolved" with a reboot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] algirnavi451:
I actually have a much better battery life on AOSP than Sense ROMs. And performance is much better.

Also a question, is there a chance there is a update coming out to the Kernel in the next few days? In the past it seems that whenever I dl and flash there is a new update the next day, and I would prefer to limit my flashing my phone to get a better gauge on battery life and performance and such.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
I was looking at your note. I compared the rndis driver in our kernel and CM's kernel and it is the same exact file. I will continue to research and see if I find anything
