Thanks for the input guys. I have been searching but i wanted some direct input.

Do you guys use app killers/memory managers too?I was using auto memory manager, but decided it was having little or no benefit at the cost of occassionally having to reload the UI.

Also what does SBC stand for?

Thanks everyone

I do not use anything but set cpu. Do a search for sbc theres a thread that gives all the explanation of different kernal terminology but im not sure exactly where it is
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
Ok cool, yea i looked it up last night and figured out what things like SBC and Havs are.

So what kind of battery life are you guys getting?

What kernel are u using with setcpu? you cant use that with stock kernel right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweepinJR:
You can, you just can't overclock on the stock kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingzfan:
Kernel:

Netarchy 4.3.1 cfs-havs-sbc

Set CPU:

Screen off - 245 min 576 max

Screen on - 998 max 245 min (conservative)

Juice Defender:

Data turns off when screens off, reneables after unlock only. Enables every hour for 3 minutes to check email and such.

Task Manager: Quick system info task killer widget (only when I need to free memory for a heavy game)

Been listening to radio.com app over Bluetooth headphones while connected to wifi for 3.5 hours. Down to 76% from full charge.

Normal daily use for me is 200 texts, 50 or so emails, hour of calls, 2 hours of web, and at least 30 minutes of games. I take the phone off the charger at 7:30am and I can go till midnight no problem.

Friday I did a reboot at 10:50 am from a full charge and at midnight I was at 62% with a little lighter usage than listed above.

MikFroyo v4.5, netarchy's 4.3.2 cfs/sbc/more havs

Don't care what anyone says about SBC, I love it and it has not damaged my battery in any sort of way. Even if it does eventually wear it out, I still don't care cause I have two extra batteries lol.

I'm using setcpu 1152 max/245 min with the smartass gov, no profiles. Always on mobile data is turned off. Gmail, calender, and FB auto-sync.

My battery life has done nothing but get better since I first rooted...I used to think 16 hours with light use was awesome lol. Now I can get 25-30 with light use (AND GOOD SIGNAL), 16-20 with moderate use, and maybe 12 with really heavy use and not the greatest signal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
Im very interested in your setup. Is smartass gov part of setcpu or the kernel? If i understand correctly SAG (i felt like shortening it) basically intellegently changes cpu stuff? So you use setcpu to set the max/min that SAG can work within?

Is there a free alternative to setcpu?

Thanks guys im learning alot from this thread, hope to get MikFroyo 4.5 + kernel on my phone in the next few days and hopefully id like to hit closer to the battery life that ncfastls1 is seeing.

SetCPU with SBC/CFS/Havs netarchy kernel

Am i duplicating (or creating clash in algorithm) by using SetCPU with the netarchy 4.3.2 SBC/CFS/Haves/more kernel. I thought the kernel has the smarts already to do CPU freq management. Have other people seen advantages to using SetCPU with this kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSilverStig:
In my opinion those are the two best. I don't run an sbc kernel because I don't need the extra life and I'm convinced it isn't helping the health of my battery, but might be hurting it. It does give me crazy good battery life but its just not needed for me. I end my day with anywhere between 20 to 70 battery life, depending on when my day ends. (see college) I run setcpu with a netarchy kernel with cache mate cleaning caches once a day and I keep an advanced task killer widget on my home screen if I feel my phone is extra sluggish, which almost never happens, don't get me wrong its a good kernel. My setcpu has a screen off and a conservative profile at all times, unless I'm charging, where I set it to performance because when I'm charging, I'm either messing with my phone with mods or letting it sit overnight, two times power isn't an issue.

Theres a app called super power or something. If you search market for xda and scroll for awhile you will find it but I think they might have started charging.

Im trying this setup right now, and so far very impressed. The most notable difference is how little battery it uses while idle. I never made it higher than 16 hours on a stock kernel with extremely light usage. I used it what would be moderate for me yesterday and it went 20 hours and still had 30% battery left.

setcpu is using smartass with max/min 1152/245 main profile, and i have a profile for screen off (652/245), battery less than 30% (576/245), and temperature over 100f (998/245).

Have a feeling im really going to like the improved battery life. Also, i know benchmarks dont mean anything but i went from about 1200 to 1350 in quadrant with the graphical tests running noticeably smoother. phone is running well with no unusual behavior or FC's.

Thanks to everyone for all the help and input

glad we helped
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSilverStig:
I have read about this, and I use both an aggressive havs and setcpu, and I have never had any problems. I've flashed maybe 6 kernels on this phone and only one of them didn't work but that was an aosp kernel/Rom. Recently after doing a bit more research on it, I've decided to stop using a screen off profile. I haven't seen any negative effect in battery life considering most of the profiles have built in screen off profiles. I think smartass profile has a max CPU speed of 3hundredandsomething when the screen is off.

Im actually having horrendously bad battery life over the last few days, with and without setcpu and with 1.90 pri/nv and 1.7x pri/nv....

first day i had excellent results, 20 hours battery life with heavier than normal usage for myself...and 30% left. Next day 16 hours of light usage even by my standards, day after 12 with almost no usage, and today about 11hours.

I may have to wipe and redo all this. Any recommendations on battery recalibration? should i wipe the phone and redo ROM/kernel before or after calibrating the battery?

Where my results from the first day (20+ hours) abnormal?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] painandpleasure:
Have you checked spare parts to see if something secretly killing your battery? I turn off all syncing. I dont need anything syncing till I want to look at it. Try a nohavs or a havs less kernal. Some phones do not react well to havs
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
Ill keep it in mind, as it was my first time flashing a kernel im going to assume i messed something up. I wiped the phone last night and reinstalled the ROM/kernel/theme. then i followed this battery calibration guide

Still waiting for it to drain all the way, but so far it seems the battery is lasting the way it had the first day last time (at 85% after 10 hours).

Im not going to bother with SetCPU and i also had flashed a SD card fix that i think may have already been cooked into my rom so im not doing that. Ill see how it goes.

I was bouncing back and forth from kernal to kernal and not letting them charge a couple cycles (im a flashing addict).

Ok so ive had phenomenal battery life since i reflashed, screenshots can be found on my facebook page linked to in sig.

Suddenly today, its back to the average 14-16 hours with next to no usage. Only change was a few downloaded market apps and i flashed a different boot animation. I think the culprit was one app in particular, but im not sure. I deleted it and phone is charging, gonna see how that works.

If tomorrow i see lackluster battery life then i think ima recalibrate the battery. If that doesnt work i think ima flash a recovery from the day before i had the issues.

If none of that works, i may drop back to the stable release of netarchy toastmod 4.3.1 (i think).

Just odd to me that after a week or so of amazing battery life i all the sudden go back to normal battery life with no obvious app/process to blame.

Ive read breifly that spare parts can be used to figure out if an app is causing the issue, how so?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
Actually i think the culprit turned out to be the new location im working at this week. looked at my phone at lunch and noticed im having 35% no signal, so thats probably why i went from 8 hours losing less than 10% battery to 40%. airplane mode seems to fix that, seeing as how im working anyways.

Welcome to the boards. While you are trying out kernels, make sure you check out the one posted in my sig; it's running smooth on my phone. Also, make sure you give the kernel a couple of days on your phone before you make a final assessment.

Just flashed this kernel and so far it seems to be smooth, so far only one random Force Close on an application that I can't recall, but it hasn't done it since.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricFi:
I flashed the MikFroyo 4.5 last week, and I really like the ROM and what it has to offer. Plus.. everything works!

I'm using the stock kernal, and I know I probably shouldn't.. but I'm not a flash junky, but can easily be turned into one!

My battery life is roughly a day with some phone use, maybe 60texts on the high side, words with friends, FB and mail sync, which is not automatic.

I sync when I want to.

I use advance task killer and it's set to aggressive and to kill tasks when screen's off. I know it's said you shouldn't use it.. but when I want an app to not run.. this way, I know it won't run!

But my battery power seems to happily move itself downward with minimal to avg. use. However.. even if I load the phone up sync'ing downloading from market, playing games, etc.. the battery doesn't seem to discharge any faster.

I'm going to get brave soon and try a kernal.

[Droid Incredible General] Pryach:
So I'm making a custom boot animation for my Incredible. I'm still on stock HTC Sense FroYo.

I made the VZW_bootanimation.zip and the VZW_Droid.mp3. I put them on my phone in the /system/customize/resource directory and rebooted. The animation and the audio played.

However, the video played much slower than it should have. I have the desc.txt set to 15fps, and there are 129 frames, so it should have been roughly 8.6 seconds, but it played for 24 seconds. So the audio and video weren't synced, because the audio is 8.6 seconds.

desc.txt

480 800 15
p 1 45 part0
p 1 1 part1

part0 contains a single png image, so it should stay on the screen for 3 seconds. part1 contains the 129 png files that make up the animation.

I've tried messing with the fps to speed things up, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Any ideas?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
My advice is to keep trying.. if SEUS aint working then Flashtool is your best chance.. it might take a few tries.. double check the .sin files are in the right place (Firmware file in flashtool) make sure you have the right firmware for your device and keep trying..

also.. if its a mini Pro then take the battery out for a few seconds.. if its a mini then press the power and center button at the same time for a reset.. try and try again!!

I guess keep trying is my main point.. you will get it eventually :) (then reformat your apps2SD partition and use Link2SD instead :p

edit....

(if your still having problems with flashtool after multiple attempts pm me and I can send you the original (non GUI) version of flashtool when I get home from work, perhaps it might work better) I have never had a problem with the old version, just copy the .sin files to the firmware folder open the flashtool app and follow the instructions (making sure you select wipe USER data when prompted)
