Hi, I just want apologize beforehand because I know a lot of people have asked this question before.. but what are your setcpu settings? I have setcpu 2.0.4 cm6 and snap kernel 7.11. I have calkulin's settings right now, but I still notice my battery depleting at a serious rate. Any help? I've tried the perflock disabler and that doesn't apply to me. Don't yell at me, I know its been asked a lot.
I'd like to see what others have to say because I'm new to this as well, but this is how I have it set up:
Charging/Full: 1036max/245min
Screen Off: 245max/245min
Battery <25%: 652max/245min
Battery <11%: 460max/245min
Temp > 40.0*C: 652max/245min
I see pretty good battery life numbers, but I'm sure they could be better. Like I said i really havent tested too much.
Install the new SBC kernel that works on ASOP. This should solve your problem..Either that or install a Sense rom and do mod to remove Sense.

I need answers.
I mean is it really worth it ?
I'm not really understanding the instructions.
I could use some help.
Please.

I have been testing this out and here is what i have found.
does it work yes...... witht hat said it interfears with setCPU or Havs. Now this isnt necisarily a bad thing i jsut want to point out it is an ither or situation. from what i can tell a decent underclocking profile will get yousimilar results in battery life.
If you downloaded from myns he says it shoudl be set up and ready to go from when you flash it. the things to watch is to make sure you have one of the 2 compatible kernels (no havs netarchy or stock) and flash them first. make sure you dont have any over/underclocking utility going then flash the battery tweak.
thats all it should take and you shoudl be set up. As each phone is diffrent and because i havent done a lot of settings changes from default with collins tweak it may be possible to get better life but for me at least it is very comprable to what i got with setCPU underclocking my phone
Ok,i have a lot of questions.
And i really am in need of AWESOME BATTERY LIFE.
I was told that collins tweak runs the best,so i tried it out with RefinedEvo 1.2
it was AWESOME in 3 hours i got to 90% with Netarchy's 4.1.9 CFS Nohavs.
i just flashed the collins tweak over it the Rom and it worked.
It was the best battery life,I ever had but now i cant get it back.
everytime i flash it from another rom or some sort it wont give me the same results.
i didnt touch the collins tweak until now,since im trying to put it on RefinedEvo again or Myns Rom.
But i dont really know how to properly use it. the GUIDE TAUGHT ME NOTHING.
i mean i dont see KSOFT ANYWHERE. and i dont even know what it means. but i see it in others screen shots but i cant find it in my own phone on terminal emulator. what do i do? do i run it as root? do i run it t 1152mhz or 998mhz? i know i should be running it at 998mhz to get better battery life,right?
but i am and i see no change? and i try to customize but it doesnt really help,i dont wanna funk with it. what governor should i keep it on smartass is the best right? but i heard it doesnt play nice with it.
PLEASE SOMEONE OFFER ME ASSISTANCE.
like how to properly do it?
and if i flash another kernel on the rom what do i wipe? everything like dalvik cache,cache,and data/factory reset? what do i need to do?
do i have to do any battery mods? like unplug when its green then plug it when its blank and what not?
what can i do? PLEASEE. i've TRIED ALMOST EVERYTHING. NOTHING WILL GIVE ME GREAT RESULTS!
i mean i use SetCPU and that was BEAST.
but i hear collins tweak is much better.
help me,please!
sorry,for really spamming this crap.
but i really need help and nobody would help.
i mean i bet you guys all needed help one time or another.
I need to know-
how to flash something properly without ruining anything.
how to properly run collins tweak
how to get the best battery life i can
what kernels would run best with the Tweak on Myns Rom.
RLS3 or 4?
maybe setcpu profiles?
BASICALLY,What Kernel do i use to get the best battery performace on Myns rom RLS4 or RefinedEVO 1.2
to run smooth and quick enough but can last me a best battery i can get with the Tweak flashed over it.
PS.I WILL DONATE TO ANYONE THAT CAN GIVE ME VERY BEST DESCRIPTIVE INSTRUCTIONS,REAL HELP, WITH ALL THE NEEDS FOR MY BEST BATTERY LIFE.
Ok i will try to do my best helping you. I will warn you i am not a pro on collins but have used it and feel i have a simi decent understanding.
First it is my understanding the rom you are using has to "support it" reading the post myn made about ti tells the other rom devs what they need to do to support it. Obviously myn's rom (post rls2) supports the tweak however i am not sure about RefinedEvo as i dont have experience with it.
First "how to flash something properly without ruining anything"
This depends on what you are flashing. If it is a new rom i always suggest wiping data/factory, cache, and dalvik and most will recommend wiping cache and dalvik twice to be safe.
For a kernel, theme, and most tweaks it is not necessary to wipe the data. It is a good practice to wipe cache and dalvik before you flash anything (as well as make a nand back up of course)
if you follow this you shouldn't screw up anything.
second "how to properly run collins tweak"
For myn's the way i would set it up is to
1) flash myns (with wiping etc) boot it up.
2) go back to recovery and then flash your kernel and any theme you want then boot up again fully
3)go back to recovery and flash the collins tweak.
if you flash collins tweak before the kernel is when you seem to have the highest chance of problems.
For myns collins is set and ready to go after this to my understanding with the default options. I find the default options are fine for my personal use. It is possible i could tweak it more to squeeze out a little more life but havent found it necessary.
third"how to get the best battery life i can"
for me the best battery life i have been able to get on any given rom is using collins and ultimate juice to turn off mobile data when my screen is off. This is a tricky subject because i see different posts all the time of people bragging about "63 hours" of time on there phone. if you look at their screen shots it is easy to see why. they didnt use there phone at all. if you see someone bragging about there charge time and android system is 2%, and dialer isnt on the list i would ignore anything they have to say. The normal time for people who use there phone is about 16 hours of life or less depending on how heavily they use it. The only reason i bring this up is to make sure you have realistic goals. Obviously if you dont use your phone much at all you can go longer.
forth "what kernels would run best with the Tweak on Myns Rom."
I personally use netarchy no havs. DO NOT use a smartass (with havs) kernel with collins. they cause issues and you will normally get worse battery life. you can also use the stock htc kernel if you prefer
Fifth "RLS3 or 4?"
its up to you but i normally suggest at least trying the latest version of roms before downgrading. I have had no problems so far with rls4
last " maybe setcpu profiles?"
no you do not want to use setcpu and collins. To give an understanding why. Basically HAVS set cpu profiles and collins all do a similar function. they scale your cpu speed depending on how it is set up. having a mix of these causes issues because one may say the cpu should be at 500mhz and another may come along and say 900mhz and then it overrides the previous setting where the first one then tries to set it back to 500. additionally how they determine it on demand, conservative etc can be different so they end up fighting with each other. this can cause additional battery drain and negates the effects of the tweaks.
in my opinion the best you can do is to flash mun rls 4 with netarchy kernel no havs (cfs) and then the collins tweak flashed over it. If you want additional life you can try juice defender/ultimate defender as well if there are times when your phone screen is off for decent chunks of time.

Wow thank you.
That really helped.
But I knew alot of those things just recently.I actually need help finding out what kernel to use I know netarchy nohavs CFS but which one 4.2.1 or 4.1.9? That's my problem.
can I use the htc kernel# 17 with the tweak or no?
I know not to use Setcpu with collins tweak.
But really,I can't use a havs kernel like CFS more aggressive by netarchy and collins tweak? It will give me bad battery life?!
I don't know what to do, should I use Setcpu or collins tweak?
What rom and what exact kernel tho?
For the tweak what governor should I use?
I mean I know when you use Setcpu you use smartass governor because it runs best right?
Can I get some help on that please?
well does RLS 4 run great with collins tweak? Will kings BFS or CFS# 9 work great with the tweak? I want optimal battery life. I once had 30 hrs with very very very heavy use.
Btw I want to customize the settings on the tweak what do I use?
What's ksoft?
How do I know if the tweak is working properly?
And if I can improve it.
But overall that was great. Your the only one to respond.
Id gladly donate,please some more help would be great.

I'm down to 25% after only nine hours and I don't understand why.. Lol I'm confused for real I thought rooting would improve it. And I've only actually used the phone for probably 50 minutes. Any help or suggestions
Sent from my Dinc running cm7 with incredikernel
search around for suggestions. to start off control data usage,sync control,use auto brightness,turn toggles off you don't need uninstall or freeze apps especially those that run in background for no reason that fail to cache. use a different kernel. do some undervolting. overclock and underclock when necessary.use tasker to setup screen off/on profiles for different min/max frequency ranges and governor selection,use apps to monitor usage such as drain guard and cpu spy. check apps that hog too much unwanted usage. the list goes on. if you do your research you could save yourself 70% of battery usage. using tasker alone saved me around 30%. for example my phone is fully charged before bed,I sleep about 6-8 hours while listening to music and I have about 80% once I'm awake.nothing on besides the phone's cellular radio,no gps,no data on,no 3g,no wifi,etc. not even airplane mode so sms isn't queued all night. tasker can also auto turn off gps once gps based apps are killed so it's not always on,plenty of threads on battery saving tips,majority aren't all device specific so they're universal tips

agreed rooting won't do anything for your phone unless you put it to good use (uninstalling bloat apps, loading a custom more battery and performance efficient kernel, same with a better ROM, as well as countless performance/battery mods)
There are so many ways to improve performance and battery life on your phone with root, but you have to actually apply them to your phone.

before i flash adrenaline am i supposed to wipe anything?
Rooting doesn't improve battery life. usually a custom kernel or rom will improve battery life. It all depends what you are running in the background. With Nil's Gingersense 3.5 (2.2) and tiny's latest kernel I am getting unbelievable battery life. This is in part to how well both of these things work together along with the removal of all the bloatware. I have found that if you run Yahoo IM, it tends to kill your battery faster as well. Make sure to set most of your sync options to manual or every few hours as well. It won't impact your gmail or gtalk settings.
I understood that just rooting wouldn't change a thing. I just miss worded it lol. I was already running cm7 and incredikernel. I just hadn't realized I had 2 apps running in the background killing my battery
just flashed tinys last night and waiting to see how it works. I have two batteries and one lasts much better than the other and they have both been treated the same as far as charging and discharging....
Hi guys,
I'm a bit of a noob so please bear with me. I recently rooted my phone (SGH-I747M Telus), I have CWM recovery installed. I was interested in overclocking so I installed this kernel on my stock rooted rom (I installed the "sammy" one). I also cleared the delvik cache, cache, and fixed permissions before rebooting. Now I'm having a weird problem with video playback. I get these bleep like sounds, like you might hear on a spaceship, lol. The normal audio plays in addition to these sounds. Yet, regular audio plays fine (mp3s), same with youtube. So, my question is, why? Is there any way of fixing this? I'd rather not play around the stock ROM. I made a backup before doing anything and recently tried to restore the boot, but I got an invalid md5 check.
-JC
Okay, I was able to fix my problem by flashing the stock at&t kernel... but I would still like to be able to overclock... is there another kernel that I can try or a way to fix the problem with the kernel I already tried? Thanks.
If you still want to try previous kernel your problem might be because of heavy undervolting , kernel creator posted this voltage chart.
You can experiment by increasing voltage and see if that helps.
Or you can just try this faux kernel , its pretty good also, we don't have many kernel choices for Samsung based roms at this early development cycle.

Thanks for the reply... but I was able to fix the problem. It was something wrong with the settings of SetCPU which I installed earlier. I changed it from on demand to performance and now all is well. Now I have a question about battery life. Will overclocking drain battery a lot faster? I imagine it would only make a difference if I was doing CPU intensive things.

Well.. performance setting makes it so that your CPU runs 100% all the time. I don't think that will be battery friendly . Overclock generally uses more power and battery longevity will depend on your usage.
You can try messing with setcpu settings. Try Conservative, then limit minimum speed to 384 and max to your preference. Try your movie again.
Current kernels and setcpu are a bit quirky.
I had the same issues on ktoonsez Sammy. Ended up back at stock AT&T. I've heard it's an issue with many of the kernels but a fix is on the way. Couldn't find a way to get rid of it, but that's not to say it can't be done. Don't have much time to tinker right now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Its a known issue on ktoonsez kernel. Flash faux's kernel, it has the same features (as well as GPU OC) and doesn't have the audio issue.
The only reason I'm thinking of undervolting is because the battery seems to be acting strange. I get random 5% battery drops from time to time and deleting the battery stats (calibrating the battery) seems to not have helped. The phone is underclocked and I have much better battery life now, but it's still not satisfactory.
I was wondering if I can undervolt if the phone has stock ROM (Sense 5 android 4.2.2) and stock kernel?
If yes then what apps do you recommend or how much undervolting do you recommend (based on your experience).
If not, then what custom kernel would you suggest?
Kernels you need to test. But undervolt with trickster mod app, found in the playstore.
Ive found that trickster mod does the complete opposite of what ive set it to do (according to other apps anyway)
