[Q] Battery Life and Kernel question

I'm currently running Fresh Rom (newest) with the stock kernel that it comes with. My battery life is not near as good as it was before I rooted.
Question is.....I'm running setCPU currently and have been thinking about flashing to Netarchy to see if my battery life increases. Does anyone have experience with this combination's battery life compared to running stock with setCPU? I'm not sure setCPU will work with the Netarchy kernel or not. Also, is Netarchy compatible with wireless tether and 4G?
Thanks.

I run stock with SetCPU and love it.
if the kernal you are using uses HAVS, SetCPU will be no good for you.
goodandevo.com has some nice tips for saving some juice also...

that's pretty much all i can help you with... sorry.

I had no luck with batt life on Fresh 3.3...I ran all of Kingz kernels and then NA's...no luck. If you want good batt life I suggest a new rom...Myn

Good to know...I had TwoPointTwo on with Kings #11 not long ago but took off because I like the interface on Fresh a lot more. Something tells me Sprint TV app was disabled on this by default as well.
Are you running Myns currently? Which kernel did you like the best with it for battery life?
@SpaceMonky.....
I believe the kernel that comes with Fresh does not use HAVS...so SetCPU should be working fine.
Also, I have done all the things listed on goodandevo.net as well as numerous other "tricks". Only one I have not tried is the Colin hack made for Evo by Myn. Still up in the air on whether this actually makes a difference.

[Q] What ROM and kernel combo best for battery life?

So just rooted my Dinc and trying out some roms. The most important thing for me is battery life and then stability. I wanted to know some if your ROM/kernel combos that have given the longest battery life. Thanks.

Each phone n processor are different in stability so basically youre better off finding out for yourself...personally been using redemptive rom with ziggys kernel and love it.

I've had my best life with Virtuous (been with it since early 2.0) and I've used King's BFS kernels. Now I'm running Ziggy's BFS and lasting even longer.
And to what the guy above me said, each phone is different in the sense that only some can overclock to 1.19 while others can't (I for example can't). Other than that, each phone is pretty much the same.

It seems like the stock Cyanogen ROM and kernel has better battery life than Virtuous with King's BFS #5. I just don't see how King's BFS #5 is that good.
I'm going to try the stock Virtuous kernel later in a somewhat controlled environment to see if there's a major battery difference.

[Q] Whats a good kernal for batt life and charge rate.

I would like to find a good overclockable kernal and am not really having luck finding much info about them. I see SVC and all that stuff but i dont know what all that means. I am running the newest version of IncRom and love it besides it having a stock kernal. I use alot of wifi teather and am on my phone alot so i need something thats going to be a strong signal for the wifi and i need one that charges fast and has acceptable battery life. I know i cant have everything all in one but i have flashed like 6 different roms and notice the kernals do matter for example the OMFGB 1.1.1 rom the battery dies so fast i can watch it drain but takes 5 hrs to charge back up. I have no use for something like that u know. But on the flip side it has an overclockable kernal!!! So could someone guide me in the right direction or at least break down what kind of kernal im looking for??? I really would like this info thank u.

I have CM7 on my phone but replaced the CM7 kernel with the latest version of incredikernel. It has been good so far and I have great battery life. I can set the governor to overclock my CPU up to 1113 MHz and I have verified the increase in speed is giving more performance through a couple of benchmark apps. I am also able to do either wifi or USB tethering without any issues as the CM7 rom has native support for both of them. You may want to try flashing your baseband radio as the different versions will offer different performance. I am using 2,15,00.11.19 right now and it is working well for me.

incredikernel AOSP is excellent for both battery life and overclocking. I can't speak for the Sense ROM, but I'm sure it's just as nice. I can say that the AOSP roms charge QUICK, and with the smartass governer, you can oc and uc and have great battery life.

I'm running chad's incredikernel right now on SkyRaider 4.0 and I love it. The smartass governor is great for battery life and it charges really fast. It's the only kernel I'd run on a sense ROM

Best kernel for CM7

Forgive me if its been asked but i cant really find anything
But im getting great Battery life off CM7 latest stable rom but i was wondering whats the best kernel for best juice saving and performance..

Personally I would go with tiamat for any aosp rom but salvage-zen I've heard is good for battery and performance too but I stick with tiamat all the way

Roms with the best battery life from exp.

I want to ask you guys from your experiences which rom have you got the best battery life. I flashed mainly all the current roms (MIUI, Virus, and etc.) I haven't got great battery life from any. So if you guys can recommend me one. I don't mind old roms as well. Such as sense 2.2 roms and such.

Generally ROMs don't affect battery life it's usually the kernel.
Also, to say that font is hard to read would be an understatement.

Wasn't trying to be rude.
As far as battery life goes I would consult this thread if you haven't already.
Unfortunately, because no phone is the exact same, battery life can vary from Evo to Evo.
There have been talks about the newer linux kernel builds [all the aosp kernels are based off the newer ones] using more battery than the older ones.
Personally, I have seen a slight decline in battery life since moving to the newer Linux kernels.
I would start with that with that link I gave you first...it really does significantly improve your battery life.

I've personally found the best battery life with the combination of decks rom 1.2z, savagedzen 2.2.1 and viperboys script @-75
