I'm new to the Dinc modding world, had a DX. Which kernel is the best to use with Virus 1.5.1?? I'd like to get as much battery life as possible.
And sorry in advance for the newb question!!
I'm on VirusROM right now, and personally I find the stock kernel to be great, not because of the makeup, but because of the SSS (screen-state-scaling) mod that it has. Basically, it's sort of like the Interactive scaling kernel governor; the CPU speeds up according to what you're doing and how intensive it is. So, when the screen is off, it's running at minimum; when you're listening to music, downloading two video clips and updating 20 market apps, it'll be running around max capacity. It has one of the coolest temperatures I've ever had (the GB ROMs are excessively high in temperature output), so I'd suggest keeping the stock kernel. That's just me, though.

Just what the title of the thread reads.
I am running damagecontrol 3.2.3 rom with the base kernel but i have noticed that others are running custom kernel..
what is the benefit and is it reversible if i don't like it and want to flash back to the base? Thanks for the help guys.
There are severl different potential benefits such as: higher FPS, lover voltage, high frequency of the CPU, etc. Do a nand back up first. Flash a new kernel, if you don't like it run a nand restore.
I find the custom kernels drastically improve the battery life of the device.
I'm having trouble finding the kernels, even if I search for, say "bfs fps kernel." Is there a thread that links them all, or at least compares them to tell which is for what?
Here's the best kernel I've found so far:

I've been on the ffolkes kernel for DC for awhile now, and I get 45 fps. Tried the netarchy awhile back and got low fps. Tried the newest one just a minute ago, fps in the 20's. The suck.

You're either not using the right kernel, or something is screwed up on your phone. I'm getting 50+ FPS when I put SetCPU on Performance.
Make sure you put SetCPU on Performance and not on-demand or userspace.
Last time I tried netarchy's kernel I don't remember clocks making a difference in FPS much..
If he has 20FPS setting the clock to performance likely won't do crap.
My recc. read the damn thread!

If you're underclocked and undervolted to 128Mhz and SetCPU is preventing it from going up, I'm fairly sure you're not going to get very high FPS.
Im using netarchy-toastmod-3.7.3-kernel and i got over 53fp.It true that help save battery and high cpu. Find here http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719763
just in case wanna a stock kernel 2.6.29 , you can find here: http://www.mediafire.com/?55dhnr5579xil7h
Are you getting 50 fps on an epson or novatec screen?
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G.
SetCPU on Performance, overclocked to 1158Mhz.
Guys, in your best subjective opinion, which kernel should I run with damage control 3.2.3? I'm not worried about overclocking very much. Also how do I find out which screen I have for my phone?
Thanks

A bottleneck is not the same thing as stock clocks.
Trix, try looking around. This has been answered about 1000 times.
Quick way, if your brightness control fades it's nova, if not its epson.

My vote is for ffolkes undervolted kernel. Performance is good, FPS is good on both epson and novatek, and I have achieved fantastic battery life with it.

I have used both ffolkes and netarchy
ffolkes i got better battery life however if you have a nova screen you need to search for and download "Novafreq" app and play with it a little tog et the best results for FPS. My normal FPS on this kernal was 40-43.
Netarchy - YOU DONT use Novafreq (which may be why some of you got such a low FPS on it, you really want to be at its stock which i believe is 380 or you will get horrible fps) With netarchy i get better FPS but slightly less battery saving. my average FPS with netarchy is 49-52FPS
Over all the battery saving was a significant amount or me between the too but it was slightly noticeable. In the end i chose Netarchy since i felt the added FPS was more significant then the slight battery increase.
The other reason i choose Netarchy is it gets updated frequently where ffolkes seems to have stopped at what it is (nothing wrong with that since it was mainly made to fix FPS on Nova screens)
Ive gotten 50-51fps on profiled setup in setcpu. even all the way down to 384. Running Netarchy & OMJ Rom
Just wondering if anybody has tried this kernel yet? Found it over on AndroidMobileJunkie.com (Followed a link in somebody's sig here n XDA that said 1.28Ghz so naturally I was curious lol) Anyways, here's the link for the post over on AMJ. http://forum.androidmobilejunkie.com/threads/kernel-ziggy471-droid-incredible-22-oct.11/
yea ziggy's kernel. It's been in discussion in both of the Desire rom port threads. 1.28 is very rough on the processor though, and mostly unstable for a lot of people's phones (mine included), even ziggy admits it's a risky business, but he has proven it is possible.
I am so tempted to try this, but I'm afraid to fry my phone. My go big or go home mentality may make me give in. Wish there was someone who posted on the thread link
I ran it. No problems a 1.28 but really didn't use it long. Here's my Quadrant post in the Desire Z port thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8775977&postcount=168

I'd imagine that clocking the processor that high wouldn't make much difference than say, 1.19GHz.
In fact, in plenty of ROMs I've tried, anything clocking over 1152mhz actually gives me a decrease in my quadrant scores. Not to say its not a stability issue - I'd assume that most Snapdragons actually clock higher than 998mhz, but then are reduced because that's baseline performance, anything less than 998mhz would get kicked.
I've never had a ROM crash, even running at 1.19GHz, but didn't notice any performance gains, plus, unless you just happen to get a chip that is capable of 1.28GHz no problem, it's probably near bottle-neck anyway.
And Quadrant has several variables way outside of clock speed that can pull 1800's, including just your flavor ROM.
Bottom Line: It's not worth frying your phone just for a barely-existent performance gain. If you happen to have a processor that is incapable of stability at 1.28GHz, you might fry out some transistors, then get stuck with something that freezes if you clock it over 700, let alone the 998 stock.
For me personally 1.28 is no improvement over 1.152. In fact, it gives me worse benchmarks.
sorry for repost
I gave this kernel a try and I actually prefer the newest HTC 2.6.32.17 charging time has significantly decreased battery life has increased and the performance is really responsive and smooth. My quadrant scores are nothing impressive pretty average but I would rather all of the above than a high quadrant.
I tried this kernal and my camera stopped working...

Lou hit the nail on the head. I love the .17 kernel. Im using the new guy with great performance, battery life, charging, and neat transitions. its like a new phone.
I'm using this with a vanilla froyo ROM and my battery life is amazing. Haven't noticed any freezing or any program not working.
Wow!
Thanks for all the replies guys, I think for now I'm gonna stick with the stock kernel also, I just remember back when I used to run KxK's kernels seeing great benchmarks and battery life I was always wondering if there were any faster out there lol

There's always faster, the question is will they work. lol
When I'm running the newer Sense ports, HD or Z, I can only run 1.113, no matter how much or little voltage I give it. When I'm running an older one, I can go all the way up.
As for stability at 1.28G, I need to work on the voltage more, to find the sweet spot, I just did it 'cause Jugs said one of his Bravo buds had it working, so I had to try.
I'll keep playing with it if people are still interested, otherwise, I'll just keep at the lower speeds.

Just loaded up your AOSP on Ruby 1.1.4. Running great, 1600 in Quad at 1ghz. Everything seems really smooth. Are the voltages undervolted at 1ghz? Maybe you could start your own thread?
Nevermind...found it!

By the way, my post wasn't meant to disrespect your efforts to 1.28GHz, I'm just giving fair warning that someone could possibly burn out their phone if they jack it up all the way. When I'm ready for an upgrade, I'll probably put this thing to the max.
Thanks Ziggy

What AOSP kernel??? I only see one kernel, and it references skyraider, which leads me to believe it is a sense kernel

I didn't take it as such, and I agree with you fully. I prefer somewhere between 1.113 and 1.15. That's the reason I included the init script to set the max at 1.113, which I find very stable and fast, hell I'd say 1865 quad with ID's Z port isn't too shabby at 1.13.
I should be able to get 1.28 more stable with playing with the voltages, it's just that takes time, and I wasted too much this morning doing both AOSP INC and Evo kernels, so I'm worn out for awhile on kernels. I still need to fix the Evo for puertoblack, since it appears I left the debug port out, so no adb for it. lol

Okay, so my question is basically how stable is overclocking your g2? I typically keep it at 800 when I use my phone normally, than 1.5ghz for games. I wante d to keep my g2 at 1.5ghz forever.. is that bad?
My battery obviously increases in temp..
I just use 1GH. It's enough for all game now. and didn't see any bad to battery or phone
I've had my DZ for about three weeks now and all this time I've had it consistently overclocked to 1843MHz. At that high of a speed, I had to let the phone cool down after 20 minutes of use.
Just today I flashed pershoot's 1516MHz kernel and noticed no heat issues after ~45 minutes of consistent use (temps < 40C).
I have had my g2 for.... However long they been out. I have always been overclock to at least 1.5 with zero heat issues. I ran 1.8 and even 1.9 for a good long time as well. Those speeds have heat issues ones that required a battery pull a few times because it started heating up faster then i could shut down the phone. If your going to OC at those speeds makes sure you set temp profiles with alarms.

ARM processors, like our snapdragons, are a lot more forgiving on the overclocking front than what you might find in your desktop, for instance.
I still treat overclocking on my phone like I do my computers, though... setcpu has a stress test built in that you can use if you're curious how "stable" your overclock is. but in my experience, I've found that you can get away with just playing around with it and using the phone normally and seeing how it reacts to different clockspeeds.
right now, I run it at 1.1ghz (24/7). I have run it at 1.5ghz (24/7) in the past for PSX/N64 emulators, but I've found with my new setup (pretty light; no widgets, very few things going on in the background, stripped as many unnecessary apps as possible, and not using any animations or fancy bits) that 1.1ghz is more than enough to be able to play the games I play on any emulator smoothly.
you should be fine at any speed that is currently available in the overclocking kernels we have with the exception of flippy's 1.9ghz kernel, which does require some monitoring to keep things cool and stable. but it still does vary from phone to phone. if you're running at 1.5ghz and the phone isn't doing anything wonky, then you shouldn't worry about it. if you're running it at 1.5ghz and you're experiencing stability issues, random force closes that aren't fixable through conventional methods, or heat issues, you should probably back off a bit.
some people have problems at 1.2ghz, some people are running at 1.9ghz all the time and never have problems... just find what works best for normal usage with your device and go with it.. it's not like we keep these things for more than a couple of years anyway, and the processor will be capable of handling the [stable] overclock for that period of time.
im always at 1.2ghz. 768 as min, interactive gov (when i use CM7) and battery has been fine, havent noticed any major issues. hard to tell if it was the rom bugs or OC being the issue but from what i read all my issues others have at various speeds so im guessing it was rom related
i think it depends on the rom.
when i use the Pyromod rom i dont need overclock but for other roms like sense roms those I require OC. I always keep it at 1400 when needed.
Hello everyone.
I am looking for a relative best rom and kernel combination for daily use which focus on heating and battery life.
I’ve tried AOKP38 with franco185 and did't change the setting of CPU model. The temperature raised to almost 50 degree. I only open the instrgram and twitter for 10min.
I also tried the slim4.0. The heating is much better than B38 with franco. But battery life seems not good.
Wound you mind recommending the best rom and kernel combination you have ever used?
Thanks! Sorry for my bad English.
I too will like to know. I will be watching this thread very closely.
After browsing through many threads where talk regarding heating issues take place, I'd say underclocking are undervolting are your best bet.
If you don't play any 3D games or do anything that requires some real juice from your CPU, I'd say you'd be fine with underclocking to like 1036 MHz and maybe do some slight undervolting.
If you only want do to the underclocking part, and if you got heating issues with Franco, then try Morfic's trinity kernel.

185 seems to have quite a few problems (see Franco's thread). I jumped ship onto the 181 kernel - wireless tethering (encrypted) works, the GPU is fast enough, and it doesn't seem to overheat. I don't use the kernel for benchmarking (although..... ) but rather, to improve the GPU performance.
And I'm on stock ICS, not AOKP.

I've been underclocked to 1036MHz for a while now and I've never had and problems running any games. NOVA 3 and similar games runs great. The only issues I've had are when I get a call or SMS. Then my phone starts to lag, but eventually picks itself back up.
Every device is different. What works great for someone probably won't work great for you. You have to try them all to see what suites your phone the best.
There are already many threads discussing this, please use an already established thread instead of creating a new one.
Thread closed.
Hey there XDA, got a question for ya.
I've had my AT&T S3 for a while now and I love the phone a lot, the only thing that is plaguing me is the battery life.
Now for a phone with dual core processors, a nice Super AMOLED screen that runs at 720, all the connections that you'd ever want, I expect it to use some battery life, but I feel like I should be doing better than I should.
When I'm browsing the internet or reddit I can watch the percentage just slowly crawl down. Within 30 min or so I've gone through 7-8% I want to say. Not 100% sure, but the numbers have been enough to make me concerned.
Currently I am running Diet ICS 08.08.12 with no major modifications other than the apps I use and Apex Launcher.
I've got my BetterBatteryStats dump and a screenshots of the battery page from System from last night. I'm attempting to use Juice Defender today (I've tried it in the past and it did alright) as well as Samgsung's battery saving mode (which seems to prevent the processor from going over 1.0 Ghz), which as of right now I'm at 36%. I feel like I can do better than that
So, thoughts? Opinions?
What kernel are you running?

I don't think Diet ICS swapped kernels, so stock as far as I'm concerned.
Alright. For stock kernel (I'm not too sure about with power saving), those numbers are fairly decent. I was able to get some better numbers on faux123's TW kernel (the 1.65ghz, not 1.85), but I can't be too sure of the exact time, as I'm currently on 1.85ghz OC, and I charge my phone nightly. You could try other kernels, and just roll back with a nandroid to this one if you do not like the difference.
