CM7 + Tiamat kernel + vipermod = Game winner. I can get 3 days on it. Though I have tested leaving my 3G on 24/7, and I have pulled 1 day 6hrs @ 44% battery life, so its a win-win either way.

Can you bring those Links to this post and I'm having horrible signaled in on latest radio ATM and never see more than 2 bars

Evo battery life....

Ok, I have an evo, running fresh gingerbread rom, and.....the battery still blows, i have tried most if the popular roms and was not impressed, i have set cpu as well, i dont see any change, im not really that good at this stuff so can somebody PLEASE hook me up with a method to make my phone last a day, roms, kernals, set cpu profiles, anything.....thank you all greatly
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
If you are on 4g, wireless tether, playing roms, texting, and making calls, then don't expect the phone to last more than 5 hours.
First thing you need to do is start off with a fresh rom... pick your favorite so far.
Reboot
Install kernal (I like tiamat for AOSP or Netarchy for Sense but I suggest you try your own)
Reboot
Install undervolting script
Reboot
Open Google Talk>Settings>uncheck automatically log on then log off google talk
Install SetCpu
If you don't really game or anything then lower your voltages to 125 min 700ish max (you can be more aggressive if you want, but I wouldn't)
Charge phone to a 100%
reboot into recovery
wipe battery stats
Use your phone till it dies
Recharge
I think you will now have a strong phone that can last a good day depending on how you use it
If you still want to increase your battery life after all that
Lower brightness
lower the updating frequency of stocks, accounts, etc
make it a habit of turning off radios when not in use or install Juice defender
Create profile in SetCPU to lower CPU when screen off
All really good suggestions above...
but sometimes it could be just the battery it self... if all else doesn't work try another battery. The previous stock battery was horrible for me even after trying all the settings and etc. Once I got a new battery and did all the setting changes this thing is ready for anything.
What rom are you using? For the best battery life with a rom like cm7 I recommend using an SBC kernel from tiamat 4.0.2 SBC+ and give it a few days to settle in...then when your battery is low around 20% or less charge it for at least 4-6 hours while phone is sleeping..then turn off your phone while plugged in and charge for another hour..then unplug til green light goes off then plug in again til light goes green REPEAT 10 TIMES! then turn on phone while plugged in wait 2 minutes then unplug and battery is improved...do it every time you charge it from low %... this is for SBC kernels...also follow what the others said above me... I use an extended battery on conservative running it at 245 and 768 its been 12 hrs and I'm at 71% with moderate to heavy use...hope this helped

wow, seems pretty involved, ill give this a shot, im running Fresh 4.0.0.4 rom now, is there another rom i should be using otherwise? i dont use the tether, i just do the youtube thing, facebook,email text and call, nothin to extensive
Try Evodecks 1.0 or 1.2c... Very nice and everything works on it... I'm using Tiamat 4.0.2 w/ sbc, its been 23 hrs and still at 59% thats moderate use though! But just search around and eventually you'll find something that suites your taste... MIUI is also a good rom! Just my 2 cents...

Syndicate Frozen 1.2 is best IMO (for now).
Less ppl seem to experience problems on it since its a ROM that's been worked on for a while, not to mention its branded with the legendary "ACS quality." AA's 2.3 Gingerbread EXT4 is also really good, but I will wait for an official release of 2.3 before I cross over. Either one is fully functioning, fast, and great with battery (YMMV)

Syndicate Frozen 1.2 is great! Great speed improvements and the battery life lasts me two days.
AA's i2 is sickly fast and battery seem to be great so far but for best battery life I'd good with Baked Snack v2.4 hands down! I could go for a lil over 2 days w/o charging when running 2.3 which was out months ago and 2.4 just came so I could only guess its better than before! I didnt run v2.4 for too long since AA droped i1 n i2 but for the days that I had v2.4 battery life was sick!

Try not to make thread titles to vague next time. Although you got a lot of good replies this time you may not be as lucky on the next. Plus its easier for people to find answers when they're searching if the topic is clearly defined. Welcome to the board. Don't let the trolls intimidate/annoy you.
I personally use SFR 1.2 w/ Genocide 1.0.

Why is finding a decent Rom for the Evo4G with 4G so darn hard!!!!!

This behavior happens due to the way in which batteries are charged. It happens on many ROMs and kernels for the 1st 10%. What is important is what happens after that. If you want to avoid it entirely the only sure-fire is to use an SBC kernel.

Its pretty much my goto when I need a good solid dependable ROM for GPS and coverage while traveling. The battery life is effin amazing and music come out really loud and clear. But I will say once our beloved devs get cm10/AOKP/PA etc running solid for jb I will prolly be going back to PA or try out KK again. I love the UK customization options. I ran ICS aokp as a daily until jb started seeping its way into my veins now I'm flashing like there's no tomorrow can't wait for volume bug fix ^^

[Q] Questions about kernels

I'm new to Android. I made a few posts on here making that abundantly clear (lol). I am just wondering, what exact part of the OS is the kernel? For example, I'm using LiquidSmooth with the default kernel that was included with that. If I were to flash the ktoonsez kernel, what changes would I see? Also, could someone point me to a site where I can download the KT kernel for LiquidSmooth 4.2.1 JellyBean Beta 2? What other kernels are there? What are the advantages of using them? And finally, where can I find them?
I'm looking for a way to conserve battery life right now, but not take away from how my phone currently looks. Sorry for asking such a stupid set of questions, but I'd like to know about this since I plan on sticking with Android. And if that's the case, I wanna learn all about the neat things I can do to make my phone customized, sleek looking, and effective.
Thanks in advance for helping out this new comer to the Android scene
The kernel is the interface between the devices software and hardware. Its basically a bundle of drivers and code to tell the hardware and software how to communicate. All computers use a kernel from windoze to OSux and Linux. Android is based around a modified version of the Linux kernel. You won't see any visual changes when you flash a kernel. And you can find em here in the development or original development sub forums
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
Cool thanks for the detailed explanation. I never really took the time to look up the exact purpose of kernels in an OS but you just explained it to me perfectly.
So, are there any kernels that are better for say battery conservation and performance?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
That all depends on your settings and usage. Theres no one way to get the best battery and performance for your usage, mostly just trial and error trying out different settings and tweaks til you find what works for you. For a good battery performance balance undervolting and overclocking work well. For instance I'm on a note 2 and im overclocked to 1.8ghz and undervolted by 75mv across the board and get almost identical battery to stock, however I still gain in performance without sacrificing battery. Now if I drop my clock rate back to stock and keep the undervolting I get same performance as on stock but my battery life increases by a few hours.

Also, could someone point me to a site where I can download the KT kernel for LiquidSmooth 4.2.1 JellyBean Beta 2? What other kernels are there? What are the advantages of using them? And finally, where can I find them?
I'm looking for a way to conserve battery life right now, but not take away from how my phone currently looks. Sorry for asking such a stupid set of questions, but I'd like to know about this since I plan on sticking with Android. And if that's the case, I wanna learn all about the neat things I can do to make my phone customized, sleek looking, and effective.
Thanks in advance for helping out this new comer to the Android scene

Check out the how to thread in general. Should be right up at the top... Great battery and great performance on the ktoonsz kernel with lots of different options! If I knew how to copy and paste the link from the stupid xda app, I would!

Here are some current stats using assorted tweaks from that thread. My screen shot app is horrible... Sorry for the sideways pic.

I can't seem to see your thumbnail. Do I have to enable an option in the settings to view thumbnails?
And thanks for all the replies guys, I appreciate the input

Not that I know of...total batt time 1 day 10 hours. Screen on time 3 hours 45 minutes with about 15% left.

1 day and 10 hours?! Wow! I'm lucky if I get 8-9 hours. I am going to start disabling WiFi when I am walking around though. I just flashed over to the KT kernel and I am going to try optimizing my settings with the ones that were in that Kernelizers thread.

Check out DS Battery Saver Pro. Handles WiFi disabling for you...less bloat than Juice defender. Screen filter helps with screen brightness...and I am undervolted pretty good too. Good luck! I am now at 1d 12 hr. 4:44 screen on. 2% batt left!

Awesome, installed the KT kernel and used the settings listed in the Kernelizers thread. I also installed DS Battery Saver Pro and now my battery life is amazing. Left my house at 7:05AM this morning and on my way to work over the course of the hour my battery dropped 3%. Usually, my battery would drop 10% - 15% during this time so I am VERY happy with the outcome.
Thanks for all the help guys

Glad it worked out! Did you undervolt yet...more battery savings there too...and very little drop in performance.
