installing incredikernel on cm7?

Hi guys i just installed cm7 on my incredible and i was wondering if im allowing to install incredikernal?
also im wondering how to wipe battery stats and when to do it
thanks

I've used other kernels with CM before and it works fine--if that's what your getting at...
As for battery stats, you should be able to do that from recovery. With clockwork mod, its under the 'advanced' menu.

If you are talking about this kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848453
Yes that is made for GB roms like CM7. As for wiping battery stats, the debate is out as to whether or not that really does much. I have never noticed anything extra from doing it, but thats my experience with it, your experience could be different.

Yeah its good to put min at 128, helps the screen off profile and with battery life. The max you can make whatever you want, but once you go higher than 1.113GHz then you start going into unstable territory IMO.

of the kernel? It probably did, go to settings > about phone > kernel version. It will say there the kernel that it is using.

Just note that a few users have reported issues with the 128 setting. I haven't experienced any problems getting text messages or missed calls and I'm using this kernel with the 128 setting but just keep it in mind if for some reason you find yourself missing texts and/or calls.

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....

Skype and CM7

Hi everyone, my girlfriend has a Galaxy Gio and I just convinced her into installing a Custom Rom. Now, the problem is that I don't know wether it performs well with skype because we use that a lot. I am thinking of installing CM7 because of the customization possibilities. I hope there is someone who has already installed it and who can tell me it's bugs and how it performs on Gio. I am interested in battery life as well and I would like to know if you had SOD with it. But the skype part is really important. Thank you for your responses, have a nice day!

Use phiexz CM 7.2 rom, it has no bugs and its very fast & stable, i use it myself, i also have skype on it and it runs good without any bugs.

I have been using that for a while... and battery does not drain.

I think he's testing/optimizing his ''cloudfare'' so his site can be reached while its offline, but having the download center mirror.phiexz.com or something would be nice when the site is online, but its says welcome new user and when you close the message it comes up again, not that you could download from a server that is down
its good he's doing maintenaince, atleast you know his site isn't a ''dead end'' , he's working on it.

Yes there is a good way for improving the battery live, when you are not using the phone, go to Cyanogenmod Settings - Performance - CPU Settings then put Min CPU to 122 and Max CPU to 320, then put the governor to POWERSAVE. Then when you use your phone put everything to normal.

powersave uses almost 100% the lowest minimum frequency, so setting 122-600 should be good

[Q] Battery Problems?

Hi all. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (I-747) running the latest d2lte nightly build of CM11. What brings me here today is very bad battery problems. These have burdend me since I got the phone (before I installed CM11.) I would like to know what could pottentally be causing the problem. I have tried many things to fix such as turning off all not needed features, greenify certain apps, enabling android runtime(ART), going to privacy advisior and turning off all keep awake settings for my apps, and turning off sync settings. Here is a 50 minute test showing you all the battery drain(to me) of my phone with little to moderate usage. All help is appciated thanks!

Try turning off wifi, sync, NFC, Bluetooth, data, and any other toggle when not in use. Also greenify any app you can. Finally turn your screen brightness to the lowest possible setting without hindering your view.
If none of that helps, I would try another battery with more mAh.

Thanks for the feedback but as stated in the original post, all of these have been turned off and greenify has also been used. Neither helped nor solved the problem. As for a bigger battery I prefer to keep my phone slim but will consider it.

You could always try another 2600 mAh battery and see if it helps. You might also want to try a data wipe reset or restore a previous Nandroid backup....just a suggestion.

May try that too, wanna confirm its the battery before I try though as its a waste of $ if its not. I looked at the hidden menu(dail *#*#4636#*#*) battery usage settings and it says my battery is in good health. Leading me to believe it maybe my phone has faulty hardware but gonna try peoples suggestions before I say that's the cause too.

maybe a custom kernel. or read up (if needed) on kernel tweaking. my favorite was always quantum and ktoonsez kernel. just make sure thats its made for your device and android version.

Install No Frills CPU from the app store and set the min to 300 and max to 4.3. For the governor, I like ondemand and noop.

Isn't ondemand the worst? (Besides performance) and won't a CPU tuner app conflict with CM's built in one? Just making sure.
EDIT: I seen its compatible, will revert to default CPU settings on CM and try this app.

should be o.k. i've done it many times. but then again , i would go with @audit13's suggestion first. no flashing worries ! again , just my two cents.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"

I used ondemand on a Nexus4, Moto G, , HTC One XL, and Note 3. In sleep mode, the phones, on average, drop about 1% every 2 hours. Once you start using the phone to surf, talk, etc., the battery start to drop but it's a lot better than stock settings.
The kernel you use can also have an impact on battery performance.
There should be no problem with using another cpu app with a CM ROM. I have done this on my Motorola Atrix and Moto G running a CM-based ROM.

Thanks again guys! Will try, test and report back in a day or two.

Installed Quantum Kernel and now Android System is power hungry. It is also still draining ridiculously fast, same as before. (Didn't fully charge my phone so don't be alarmed about battery percentage.)

Look up Better Battery Stats. You can get it from the play store, but I think you can find a free version posted to xda forums if you look around. It keeps track of wakelocks and system states better than the built in battery monitor.
It will let you see if you have a rogue app or service keeping your phone from getting to deep sleep when not in use.

personally never had an issue with texts running quantum kernel , but

Upgraded to Android 10, garbage battery life

Hi,
I flashed stock android 10 image after it was released a few days ago and the battery life is GARBAGE. Any ideas on how to fix this? I know adaptive means it should get better after a few days, but I don't really see this.

Battery life for me is pretty horrible, I can't get 2 hours of screen time doing simple things like taking photos, reading the news and email and some book reading. I don't even play games, I would say processing of HDR photos is the most intense thing I've done. I updated on Tuesday and battery life has not improved.

I had the same terrible battery experience with android 10 stock until I changed kernels. Assuming you are rooted, you can install Ex Kernel Manager, then go to the ElementalX tab and click to check for update and it will give you the option to download and flash Elemental X v. 5.05 for pixel xl android 10. It will flash the new kernel for you and then ask if you would like to reboot. Once you reboot you can change governors and many kernel settings. Currently I am at 54% with over 3hrs screen on time and average about 15 hours per charge with 6 or more hours screen on time. This is at least double what I was getting on the stock kernel.

Actually, even if I do apply on boot, is resetting governor to sched. Hmm

I don't see a real battery difference switching to powersave, just a performance difference.
I didn't actually switch the kernel, though. That's with the included kernel.
The battery life really is awful. Any ideas?

Changed to Elemental.

That's awesome! but, does it have significant impact on performance compared to stock kernel? I'd like to balance out performance and battery life.

I wiped the phone and installed 10.
No improvement with battery.
Also, now I have the problem of my messaging and email apps don't update unless I manually open them. and sensor seems to be messed up to where if you tap twice on phone, you don't see clock, and picking up phone doesn't show notifications, despite these options being turned on. I know there is a bug on this.

For what it's worth, I was on the Q betas, and battery life was similar to what I was getting on pie. Then once the official update installed, battery went to garbage even after several days. I ended up downgrading to Oreo leaving the bootloader unlocked, but installing elemental x kernel so that I'd still pass safety net. I had heard before that Oreo had better battery life than pie.
Things improved after that, but I know that a downgrade like this won't be an option for most people.
Edit: also should mention that I've underclocked the CPU using the installer for the ex kernel which has also given me a slight boost in battery life. Don't really notice any performance difference for my usage.

I used ex kernel manager to flash it and then rebooted but it's a paid app. for a free app you could try flashify which is an app that can flash kernels and recoveries. I haven't used it in a long time to flash a kernel so I make no guarantees but it has worked well for me in the past.

How much did you underclock? I went back to 8.1 and battery life is much improved.

Stock seems fine to me 6hr sot on lte off charger for 17 hr. But did replace battery a year ago

Hey, I assume you're asking me. I underclocked to 1440 for the small cores (down from 1593), and 1900 for the big cores (down from stock 2150). The aroma installer has a few values to choose from, so you can try experimenting a bit. The values I used represent about a 10% drop from stock speeds.

The biggest battery drain I have is keeping WiFi on. So I created some tasker profiles to turn off WiFi 2 minutes after the screen goes off, and back on when the screen goes on. It also only turns off if it's not plugged in. Still not perfect, but works well enough for me.
