[Q] Low Quadrant scores

Running 2.5.2 and Hyrda #1 Overclocked Undervolted 1.15ghz v1.0 - After initial install I got a score of 1148 - now I can't break 1000.
Any suggestions????????

No love for the noob

See what else is running when you run Quadrant. I get lower scores if K-9 decides to check email during the test, or something else is going on.

im also a noob but had better results
i am running skyraider 2.5.2 sense witha hydra kernel clocking speeds of 1152 MGz i get a linpack score at 39.43 and a quadrant score of max 1480 tell me is this pretty good for a new comer and thanks for the replys

Question about setcpu and overclocking

I'm using kings kernel #5 and i currently have its over clocked to 720 (and of course profiles clocked under that) I was wondering would i have significantly shorter battery life if i clocked it up to the highest (1.119) and set it to conservative

You'll most likely freeze up and crash at the highest clock speed, that's what happens to most of us. But that really depends on your hardware... You MAY be able to sustain that, but there's really no guarantees.
What I do (and I have pretty good battery life, it's 9:36 pm here and I just now dipped under 20%) is let the kernel do it's own thing and only set up a screen off profile that maxes out at 460.
But yeah, higher clock = more battery drain.

I cannot get over 1.113, reboots constantly over that. I get amazing battery life and performance with what I am running below.

Oh I can run it sustained i have my charging profile of 1.119 and interactive. Its 11:15 and my battery just dropped under 50% (i like bragging) But i figure it i put it to conservative it probably wont ever need to really run at max will it? Im not 100% sure on how everything works just yet

The word of the King
When King released #5, he was specific in saying that if using SetCPU w/ #5, only use it to overclock, as the composition of the kernel handles battery life.
That doesn't mean you can't, obviously, but I'm just conveying what I read when it was released.

Oh well thank you i had no idea. I actually messaged him on here about the kernels

I honestly dont even know what kernel i should be using... I dont even know the difference between bfs and cfs

King's notes and his d/l site go into uber-geek detail on the differences - take a look. Short version (to my understanding and probably way oversimplified) is they do different things - battery preservation or speed or a blend of the two.
That said, the kernel you should use depends on the ROM and what's important to you [speed/battery/both] - certain kernels won't/don't/shouldn't work w/ certain ROMs.Take a read thru the development section, and read thru the 2 threads for King's kernels. He's got 5? (or more) kernels out in the wild. Between those two threads, you'll see where one set is for AOSP ROMs only, the other for Sense and/or vanilla, whatever.
I've made the error of bootlooping myself by putting the inappropriate kernel into a Sense ROM - fortunately I did no permanent harm - actually it was good learning. Why? Now I look for, and use, kernels specific to the type of ROM I'm using.
They aren't one-size fits all - don't make the mistake I did - read up on what's there and you'll see what I mean.
Kind regards.

Yea I learned that not all roms work... I have virtuous 3.0.1 and want performance but mainly battery life can you suggest a kernel for me?

King's #5 or the custom Virtuous kernel.

Lol I've used both of those I may go to kings #3 bfs not 100% sure yet hopefully ill get a message back on here

Lee - best suggestion I can offer is for you to read up on the kernels available and choose the one that works with the ROM you are running, that gives you what you want.
The reading/learning will do as much for you as a super-speedy or battery-sipping kernel.
Good luck.

I've been reading but just can't find any real information

The Kernels King post are defined by whether they can be used in Sense or Vanilla. His AOSP/CM are for Vanilla Roms only, and will more than likely cause bootloops if applied to a Sense Rom. The HAVS kernels are for Sense only. I change out between 2 and 5 and can't decide which is better. I also never run above 1.15 or I get constant reboots. 1.15 still reboots, but not as often.

[Q] Flashing kernels

So I've just started trying kernels. I decide to start with the popular Kingklix kernels. So I backup up my Cyanogen 6.0.2 and flashed his BFS #2
The kernel was very very snappy, but the benchmarks were really low (in the 600's) they seemed to lag at the "testing I/O" portion. But I didn't care because the phone felt as fast as the Captivate.
I charged it full, and went out for the night. The phone was dormant in my pocket for most of the time, maybe 10 texts sent... the phone died in 3 hours. This made me done with the kernel, as much as I liked it I need my battery.
So, I reverted back to stock and installed his CFS #1 kernel, I cleared Dalvik (I did this before and after the kernel flash like I did with the BFS version) and booted.I cleared the battery stats since the phone was off now and I might as well bump charge. This previous charge stayed forever! I got 1d 4h and 40m on this setup before getting 14% and the phone saying to plugin
The CFS isn't as snappy as the BFS version and I'd love the speed of the BFS one but I need more then three hours of battery... so I have a few questions.
1. Can you flash kernels ontop of eachother? or do you have to restore to stock in between flashes (much like themes on AOSP roms)
2. Are the low benchmark scores normal for Kk's BFS #2 kernel?
3. Is clearing battery stats part of the procedure? and is that what made the difference between the two kernels? or is BFS just poor on battery life?

Clearing battery stats really isnt needed, kernels can be flashed on top of each other, and king BFS 2 was really buggy, use 1 Cfs, it may not be as high in quadrant, but quadtant doesnt mean anything. Cfs is more stable, and the code for the cfs is 2.6.32.21 whereas bfs is all buggy and is 2.6.32.51.

I knew quadrant didn't mean anything when I saw BFS and it's low scores but amazing performance. I hope he patches it up, the alternate scheduler really makes a noticable difference.

[Q] Best Kernel For Me!

I have the HTC EVO Hardware version 0003 (old camera chip)
I do a ton of WIFI Tether in places with not the best signal, so signal is huge!
I want something with relatively good battery, but will compromise
I typically have my phone in my pocket most of the day, and i do have a spare batt
I use my phone as a computer so i would like it to not be super laggy
I am on Koni's Elite Series 3 Rom currently but I like all modified sense roms.
Just trying to see what people think and get ideas. Oh and im currently using HTC kernel #15. Im not sure if 15 is CFS or BFS. Anyone know?

Well its hard to say; kernels react differently on each phone. I've had the best performance/battery with netarchys kernel 4.3.4 CFS LESS HAVS SBC build. It also has HDMI built in. You have to test drive kernels to see what your phone likes. I usually run a kernel about a week before I test another one.

good idea. should i be wiping my battery stats every time i flash a new kernel or rom?
any suggestions for a few kernels to try. there are so many out there and im not exactly sure what to look for. i mean i have a basic understanding of what cfs and bfs, havs, and smartass governers are but i just dont know where to look. thanks for any help

I love koni's rom and I've had the best of luck with the cfs havs less kernel. It also has hdmi support. You should get setcpu and set the Max frequency to 1075, and min frequency on 245(with conservative or smartass governor). My battery was great and performance was insane. You can overclock to 1190 if you want but I just sit around 1075 or 1113. Here's my personal fav for all sense roms. P.S I usually wipe my battery stats once I hit 100% before or after kernel flash doesn't matter(for each kernel).

New to Evo 4g From Epic 4g- Battery Life Stinks - WHy is Epic 4g so differenT?

I've been reading around the forums in different threads and Man there is a lot to catch up on since I've always been an Epic 4g owner and not an Evo 4g owner. I've found a few threads about battery life and so far have installed 4 roms to test briefly battery life and none are giving me the same as my epic or close to it which was 0-2% drop an hour when Idle.(Sitting on my desk on 3g or wifi) Gone through cm7, Miui(Currently on) and 2 of the new sense 3.0-3.5 roms (Energy and nocturnal)
Kernel currently Tiamat 3.3.7 and I've tried the latest one 4.0.1 or something.
So far i've found the Vipermod kernel undervolt tweak, V6supercharger Option 7 (used before), 3g turbo charge script, and also applying gps fix from Miui thread.
Any suggestions on other tweaks I should flash ? Is myns tweak out dated or needed from this thread? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/tweaks-for-superb-battery-life-in-evo/
I always freeze DRM but with the epic I found other processes starting with SNS to freeze, are these not on the Evo4g? or are they called something different? Also I don't see a System Update process that I used to see on the Epic and would freeze.
Calibrated method I use is charging to 100 percent and just using the Battery Calibrate app in the market. Its the first one that comes up when you search.
Any rom suggestions that I should flash to get better battery life? I need to use my phone for pleasure and work so everything needs to work except 4g and video recoding 720p. I need everything else operational.
Also any suggestions on other battery saving techniques would be greatly appreciated. I've got plenty experience with the Epic 4g but the evo 4g is so old school i feel like this device loves to eat battery way more than the epic when being used and when not being used.
FYI i have a moderate to heavy user.
EDIT: for those who could gain from this post, I'm going to be following Carhaulers recommended settings. Hopefully i get better battery life and everything runs smooth.
GB-evo-deck 1.3d or MIUI's latest creation
Tiamat v3.3.7-SBC aka the "LEE" kernel
Under Clocked @ 128/499MHz <<128/499MHz IS the new 245/998MHz>>
Under Volted @ -100mV total w/ IncrediControl

Results SO far and a Sense Question.
So as an answer to my own Question i've added the following items in my signature for my Evo 4g and I have no idea how this phone is operating so well at 128 HZ - 499HZ but wow its working smoothly. Battery is pretty sweet also. Still calibrating, drained it completely today and am charging right now to full with it powered off. Only time will tell.
I've had the phone off the charger for roughly 20 hours with no use for 50 percent of the time and the other 50 percent I was playing pandora, browsing xda/engadget, and playing 30-minutes to an hour of games. Not bad so far. Its better than it was before. Now this goes to saying i am uving like a mofo and underclocking.
New Question for those who read this, Is there a Sense Rom that will give equal if not better battery than what i'm seeing so far? and does COD tweaks work with sense roms?

MikG 2.61 rom works great and has great battery. Might want to try out Chopsuey 9.2.7 kernel with it as well.

Well im not so sure about this but.
Isnt the epic still on froyo?
Cause in my experience all the old froyo roms for the evo gave me way better battery life than the gingerbread roms.
I could get like 24-30 hours on myns warmtwopointtwo rom. Which is froyo. I only get anywhere from 12-15 hours on all the new gb roms.

The Epic's up to Gingerbread now, as of early November (finally). Froyo ROMs did get excellent battery life... I did like Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo, paired with a Netarchy SBC kernel... An incredible combination. I can still match that on Gingerbread, but Warm was awesome.
