I try now since 2 moths running Android on the Kaiser with full performance.
I fixed several problems, but there are still some which frustrates my really!
1. The Battery lifetime is very short. The battery indicator in the homescreen reacts very slow, so it could be possible that I leave my home in the morning and the indicator shows a full battery. During the morning the Kaiser shuts down because the battery is empty. If I try tio charge it and connect it to the charging unit the charging process runs. When I disconnect it several hour (approx. 5 hour) later, on the display appears the massage that the battery is still empty. The problem is nearly the same with different Roms or Different Kernel. I never had this problem with Win Mobile.
2. I have a bad Radio performance. I tried several Radio Roms, but I couldn't fix it. Are there any possible values I have to change tio get a bvetter performance? When I have my HD2 next to the Kaiser it has each time a good Radio and the Kaiser has no Radio. Is it normal that the Kaiser has a worse Radio tehn the HD2?
I'm running at the moment the .25. Kernel with the update. But I had nearly the same problems with the .32. Kernel. Just the radio performance is a little bit better with the 25. KErnel then with the 32. Kernel.
I thik the problem could be at the kernel, because the problems are similar with each Radio Rom. Can anybody provide me a source with I kernel I can install which he knows thet the kernel will work very well?
I will have a stable Kaiser with Android and full performance. Thanks in advance for the help!
Can somebody help me please?
Change the kernel to possible an older one. And mind to use Kaiser specific kernel. Plus, What build you are using ? maybe possibly the instability of the build
Thank you very much for the feedback!
I tried the .32 kernel and the .25 kernel With the .25 kernel, I had a better performance the the .32, but not the full performance! Can you please help me with a link with a kaiser-specific kernel? Maybe I had the wrong one, but 'm not sure which one is the right.
I've tested several builds. The most stable ones were:
- not so super RLS 18 and
- My Modified Fresh Froyo Release 20-2-2011
But I had with both ones the problems as described above...
Battery status not working correctly eather
I have the same issue. Using the last kernel .32 and android 2.3 but have the same performence on 1.6 and 2.2 After a day my battery go to 70% decrementing smoothly with -1-2%. And after a day go from 70% to 15%. That is annoying do you have a fix for that?
Thanks
Until now, I didn't find a solution!
Does anybody have an idea?
At the moment I think whether I'll switch back to WinMo 6.5...
I found a solution!
I tried the following kernel:
2.6.32.9 [email protected]
In my opinion more important: I tried it before with an to 450MHz over-clocked kernel. Now I tried it with the mentioned kernel without overclocking and everything works!

I'm new to kernel flashing. I have been playing around with snap and kings kernel. I don't have a problem flashing snap, but once I have it installed it works fine for awhile, but then it reboots itself or goes into a state where it won't turn on and I have to pull the battery. I tried 7.6 both bfs and cfs and the same thing happens. I also tried 7.5 but once I flashed it nothing showed up in the apps to install.
For kings kernel I flashed it and it booted up fine but it seemed to freeze up and I couldn't unlock my phone after the boot.
Am I doing something wrong when I am flashing these? I am running the nightlies of cyanogen. Also, What are some other kernels that work well with cm?
Thanks!!!
Kernals seem to be a taste for the phone itself and not the rom...
My Evo doesnt seem to like any other kernals than stock I have tried many rom/kernal combos and the only way i get no issues and best battery is to run stock kernal
I ran fresh with netarchy and kings like some others-that had great battery and mine just drained fast so I am done with the kernal swapping for now and jut keep playing with roms.... Trying out Virusrom right now not bad so far
Try wiping the cache and dalvik cache before flashing the new kernels. That might help.
Another thing that might help is posting this in the right section. More people with the knowledge and good insight that you need will be more apt to answer you in the Q&A section.
I've tried clearing everything including data but it still would self reboot
the snap kernels do not work with the recent versions (nightlies) of CM.
The framework has been redone, and you will freeze.
You have to use the stock kernel.
Ziggy just made an AOSP kernel, but its buggy.
Toast has a .35 kernel that works good on the new frame work.
I just was able to use a different kernel of kings. It really doesn't enhance quadrant scores, but im want to see what it does to the battery. Where can I download toast.
Also, I noticed that now my unlock screen is different from my wall paper. Is that a kernel issue?
Check to make sure SetCPU is disabled (or any other overclocking utility), and wipe your cache/dalvik. If all else fails, go with the Snap 7.6 failsafe method.
Kings AOSP #1 has worked best for me using cm nightlies. I have easily doubled my battery life. Has anybody else had success with any other kernels? Is toast an AOSP kernel?

turn off setcpu until after you reboot with the new kernel. don't forget to read the kernel threads OP for possible hints on setcpu configs (ie: snap7.6 works well with conservative governor)
yes they are all AOSP.
i would not advise a newbie to play with the snap or king kernels until the .35 revisions have been released. this is due to changes in the Framework.apk file. you are likely to find that a current CM6nightly w/ the snap7.6 kernel = no bluetooth. new kernels should be hitting shelves very soon. personally, i'm looking forward to loading up the snap kernel once its done cooking, i really liked that kernel.
most are just fine with the stock kernel
many have commented positively on the toast test1 kernel (aside from a hang issue at startup)
ziggy & zen have a bit of work to do on their kernels it seems.
once .35 is 'done' you'll find a bunch of movement on the the kernel threads.

Thanks! this really helped. This may be a dumb question, but where do you find out what kernel runs with the ROMS. eg .35
I really want to find a good combination that gives me good battery life and performance. so will snap 7.6 work with cm 6.1 rc 1 rom?
I saw for CM6.1 the stock kernel is the best. I have gotten the best performance, battery life, and bug free with the stock kernel.
Snap 7.6 would get stuck on the splash screen and required several battery pulls.
Toast .35 works good, but after about an hour or two for some reason it brings my fps cap down to 37, so all my scrolling and games run like ****.
Wait for Snap 9 or the official toast .35 kernel. Stock is just fine.
I was bored last night and tried cm 6.1 with snap 7.6 just for fun, but it seems to be working fine. The boot was quick too, it was on the cyanogen boot image for about 3 seconds before it started up. Quadrant scores are in the mid 2000s. No problems with anything else so far.
Is there a snap website or channel log? I can only fined directories.
Hi all,
My partner has been experiencing a few issues with her 'stock' Orange branded Desire, not only being affected by calls dropping and Data being unreliable [sometimes works, sometimes doesn't], but also pretty poor battery life.
On that note, we think it may be a good idea to root her Desire and apply a custom ROM. Are there any ROMs out there which specifically target battery optimization?
I am assuming a new ROM/radio will help resolve her call/data issues, so battery is the next priority to look at.
I'm thinking CM7.0.3 is the safe bet [moreso because that's what I'm running on my Legend ] but is there a ROM out there in the Desire community known for great battery performance?
On a side note, if you can also recommend the best radio to flash [unless it's part of a ROM already] that would be cool.
Thanks in advance,
c_man
At first reducing the brigthness-level, turning off 3g/hsdpa, gps and wifi (sleep policy to "never" [settings > wireless & networks > wifi settings > press menu > advanced and set wifi sleep policy to Never; press menu and save) and only turning them on when needed will improve battery life.

I have installed it myself with the kernel in my sig. Especially the standby-battery-power is really impressive. IMHO all small aosp-roms like e.g. cm7, devnull, oxygen or redux will have good battery life. Furthermore, i good kernel with appropriate settings becomes important.
But final one can say, the battery life is most related how much you use your phone.
Hope, this could help you.
If your wife is used to the Desire as it is (inc. HTC Sense) then I would highly recommend LeeDroid.
Its well indexed and offers good battery life. The fact that it's based on Gingerbread (2.3.3) is a big help for battery. As far as I know Orange Desire is still on Froyo?
The big benefit with LeeDroid is that if your wife isn't as keen on trying to learn to use stock and likes HTC Sense, she will not notice any difference. It would be worth putting an ext partition on the SD card as well so she wont run out of room for apps.
I have installed 7.0.3 and my battery life drains super quick. All i have enabled is mobile network. So if you ask me.. .I would say CM 7.0.3 is not a very good batt saver.
Im using Redux at the mo
3ma drain on standby with GPS and BT enabled
ManU Havs Axi kernel undervolted with Vipermod
I found GV to be very good on battery drain too...
In all fairness you wont believe the difference in battery life between stock and a custom rom imho
Thanks for the replies so far.
@MatDrOiD - thanks, currently its between CM and Redux.
@JokerNJ - She doesn't mind having to use 'pure' Andoird, she's used my Legend on CM7.0.3 and know's its not massively different. We'll take a look at LeeDroid...
@alexander7567 - this is not what we wanted to hear. CM7.0.3 has done wonders for my Legend...

Positively or negatively!?
@MatDrOiD - you mention that you run Redux with Kernel: 2.6.35.9-Redux-SVS_BFS + ULV-Script.
Is there a recommended kernel for Leedroid and also for CM7.0.3?
This is slightly offtopic but can you supply a link on how to install/flash a kernel? I've not done this before [for my Legend].
Also what radio should I go for her Desire?
EDIT:
Doesn't matter if the radio and kernel you suggest are not the latest/greatest/cutting edge, but as long as they are stable and known for good performance, that is good enough!

Mobile network is one of THE battery killers at all. Turn it off and just turn it on, when you really need it.

I do not know a recommended kernel extra for leedroid. For CM7 (or aosp-roms in general) the manu-kernel is very good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883598
Furthermore the couttstech-kernels are very good (they can be used for sense-roms as well:
http://mirror.couttstech.com/android/index.php?dir=bravo/kernel/
But i would say, search for the corresponding threads of this roms, i think you will find a good kernel.
Flashing a kernel is very easy:
1.) Download the kernel you want to flash as zip and copy the file without extracting on your sd-card
2.) Go into recovery
3.) Do a nandroid-backup, just in case.
4.) Wipe cash + dalvik-cache
5.) Flash zip rom sd-card like you would flash a rom
6.) Reboot
You are done.
I would recommend to use this radio, which is the mentionend recommended radio in the corresponding thread for the rom. E.g. for leedroid it's 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08. If there isn't mentioned any recommend radio, just use the radio which comes with the rom. Nevertheless, you are free to update to the respectively newest one:
http://www.mofirouz.com/wordpress/2011/03/htc-desire-radios/
You flash a radio like you flash a rom or kernel. But when you do this, DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE UNTIL IT'S FINISHED. With flashing the radio you update your desire's hardware. If there somehting goes wrong, your desire will be bricked probably. So before flashing the radio, check the md5-sum of the downloaded zip.
Thanks! I didn't know the method to flash a kernel was the same I've done radio before for my Legend so that's all good.
Now all that is left is for my partner to choose a ROM and away we go...!

You are free to choose. But this is the recommmended and most used one (also by developer).
Danke schön...!
Fingers crossed for the root [will use unrEVOked 3 - this shouldn't be a problem even though her Desire is Orange branded as I understand it - someone please correct me if I'm wrong]
You Desire guys are lucky to have so many ROMs/Kernals to choose from.
For us Legend guys the choice is almost made for us [and I sold my Desire to own a Legend ].
Another vote for LeeDroid here for the Desire. I have been using LeeDroid since I got mine and have never had a problem with my battery life at all. I can go for two days at normal usage without a charge. Even with heavy use I can go a whole day. I charge mine each night in a dock on my bedside.
Thanks FlareHeart, is that running the radio/kernal that arrive with LeeDroid too? No other mods?
Now it's up to her to decide if she wants a ASOP ROM or one based on Sense .
Hopefully we'll root tomorrow...
I used Amethyst a bit before the dev jumped ship to Nexus S. It used Coutt's kernel for it and the longest I got out of a full charge was 2 days. And that was general usage (few texts/phone calls a day, push email, Facebook/web browsing).
Using Oxygen now and I frequently get over a day and a half on general usage with thalamus's kernel.
best Rom for desire
I have used devnull then gingervillain, all vanilla roms. but without sense there is no sense!!. thus I went for insertcoin 1.0.5. which is stable, very nice. u need ext4 partition. 500 mb ok. use minitool partition wizard for Windows. everything is working fine.

What Leedroid version?
Rooted, wiped, and flashed CM7 to a coworkers EVO yesterday. Now his battery life is awful. It dies every 4-5 hours with light use.
I really need some recommendations on what to flash to make his phone better than stock battery wise.
My wife and I both have LeeDroid on our inspires, and our battery life is ridiculously good. Her's will go 24+ hours with texting and facebook. Mine will go 12 hours with heavy email, txt, calling, wifi, bluetooth, etc enabled. I'm looking for something that will make his phone perform closer to this...
CM7 with the Tiamat kernel, Viperboy's scripts, under clocked @ 537Mhz, and I got 2days out of my stock battery yesterday, a new record.
Did you check for wake-lock issues? Rogue programs running wild he may have installed?
Check out spare parts and you might be able to find the problem.
He has no other programs installed other than the google apps and a new clock widget (that I use as well). Not sure what wake lock is...
I may try going back to a stock rooted gingerbread rom then flash the tiamet kernel...

if the stock rooted gingerbread ROM is AOSP-based, then yea, you can flash the tiamat kernel. But if it's Sense-based, then you can't.
as of right now, there isn't any custom kernels that are made to work with any Gingerbread Sense-based ROMs (the GB kernel source has yet to be released).

Hi all
I recently unlocked the bootloader of my arc (that was scaring lol, im was so afraid that my arc would be bricked but luckily it didn't ) and flashed CM7.2 to it. However, I don't know which kernel should I use with CM7. I found from the Internet that there are 2 possible kernels(?) which I can flash:
1. The one comes with the package of CM7.2
2. DooMKernel CM7here
I am now using the one comes with CM7.2, and I tried DooMKernel CM7, only it supports boot sounds. But which kernel is the best that I should use with my arc? Please advice
Also, I found some webpages/forum posts telling that battery calibration is needed after flashing CM7, is it also necessary for arc?(Also, how to do so?) Because I found out that battery "drain" is worse on CM7 but I don't know if it is only a problem of calibration but not actually drain.
Thanks a lot
Ivan
better use kernel inside the package cause doom cm7 no longer maintain(still waiting for new version from doom),i read from internet that when you flash a new rom,it will think that your battery is in full condition,even if it is actually 50% or less,so calibrate it(search google),and try 3 or 4 cycle(charging and discharging) till get the best batt life,gd luck

I took all of the steps with various kernels and had serious drain on mine with 7.2 10% / hr, idle with screen off. I found that 7.1 from cyanogenmod had no problems for me.
Hi Everybody,
I 've owned the P8000 for 2 months and I was more than happy with the the device with stock kernel and Eragon 2.5.
Then, I decided to upgrade both kernel and ROM.
I moved 36 hours ago to visi0nary's kernel 1.21 and Eragon 5.0.
I performed a factory reset then flashed the ROM and then upgraded the kernel.
No issue whatsoever with that set up. It works nicely.
However, I noticed that the battery gets drained very fast. I basically let my phone in standby for 36hours and I have 50% battery left on the phone.
Any idea where it could come from and any way to improve that ?
Cheers
Ju
can you try installing gsam battery monitor so we can see what is using most of your battery? it might be the infamous audiomix drain but a reboot normally sorts that out...
another question. why do you change the kernel when you was "more than happy" before? think eragon was made specially for stock kernel. that this will run with different kernels would be nice, but this is not guaranteed.
With Eragon 5.0 and default kernel I've achieved the best battery results. I'm very happy with the general behavior P8000 and more with this rom
moved to kernel 1.4 and eragorn 5.5.. no improvement.
installed GSAM.
will report tomorrow
