A few questions from a noob!!

I have a couple of questions on my rooted Evo.... I rooted my wifes Evo and my Evo using the newest unrevoked. After rooting I flashed Myns warm 2.2 rom along with kingx kernel# 9... I also flashed the collins ph battery tweak.. The first couple of days we had phenomenal battery life, as well as the phones being fast as hell... My question is now the phones seem to be running at a very high cpu usage percentage I.e. anywhere from 60-99% cpu usage.. Is this normal?? The battery life is also terrible now, and I haven't changed anything since flashing the rom and kernel. I was using set cpu and after doing some research I found out that set cpu interferes with the battery tweak so I uninstalled.... What should the normal cpu percentage be at?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you in advance!!

use a task killer such as "advanced task killer" to kill unwanted apps that run in the background. also, i have setcpu set to over 1GHZ max and 576MHz minimun and honestly, i cannot tell if it makes a difference in battery life, alot of these things you will have to find out for your own because each phone is a little bit different for each user...

there are a few things that can cause this. it is likely one of the apps you have installed is staying on or you have a run away process. The sue of task killers is debated as being a good idea or not i will let you make your own choice on that but i will say the task killer wont fix the problem it will just try to cover it up.
The problem is that the true fix will probably take some time and find and correct. If it is and app one tool that may help is the paid version of system panel. it will help monitor which apps use the most cpu/battery time and it shows you all running apps. you can also use system panel to kill your apps manually (by pressing the kill all button or killing each individually). I have used it help trouble shoot and monitor my battery etc and it has been helpful to me however i will say it doesnt always provide enough information to help you figure out what app is causing the problem when that happens i usually assume its a system process causing the issue.
as for normal it i going to very greatly depending on the apps you have running. when just sitting here watching it mine is normally 8-15% and occasionally goes as high as 20.

Thank you guys... that system panel is awesome!!

[Official][MODS LOOK!] Best kernel/ROM combinations for increased battery life!

When I first joined this forum, I was very impressed with how responsive the XDA community was to answer my questions. I have gained loads of valuable information that has helped me along my way with my EVO. I had one goal in mind; I wanted to customize and modify to increase my battery life. the Q and A forum was the first one that I turned to. I would instinctively try searching for things such as "best battery saving kernels" or "Which rom will provide me with the best battery life" and etc. Of course there are hundreds of threads with people asking these types of questions, the only problem is that they are outdated! I have only been active in this forum for a better part of 2 weeks and it seems like there is a new or beta out every other day!
Developers are quicker than ever releasing new kernels and roms so it makes it difficult to get a defined answer! I figured that the best solution to this would be to have a stickied thread with the community posting there results through testing or just opinion in general, that way it will help stop all of the "best rom" or "best kernel" threads. It would be a great resource to not only people that are new to the forum but for those looking to stay up to date with the best of the best.
Now onto the purpose of this thread.
I realize that everyones phone is different. And that what is best for one phone, may not be best for another phone.
Still I think that a generalization would be very helpful when trying to decide what's best.
Here goes:
Kernel Testing Reports: AOSP and Non AOSP Kernels here: http://home.comcast.net/~ttechnology/htc.html(Not my work, all credit goes to Skyler.
What are your favorite kernel/rom combinations for saving battery life?
Feel free to report your testing results and attach screenshots of juice plotter and etc!
Hopefully the whole XDA community can help keep this updated for reference at any point in time!
With all that said, hopefully I will catch a mods attention and have a chance of this getting stickied.

11/2/2010Myn's 2.2 with Baked Kernel #6
This was my first day testing this combination with moderate to heavy usage. Battery life was not very good for me. I will be trying this again tomorrow to give my phone time to adjust better. Screenshot attached.

Bump...report your kernel/rom history and what has worked best for you!

Well I thought it was a good idea anyways

I used it sparingly. Some twidroid, some browser, some freecell, a call or two and EVAC(great game). Yea its launcher pro. I grey'ed out everything like the status bar and notification bar. Made it gingerbread like. Or what rumors say gingerbread will look like.....

fresh 3.4, nets 4.2 bfs agressive , been getting 90ma screen off and around 200ma screen on.
i'm really interested to see other battery draw compared to mine.

i just got 1d 6hrs out of my evo.
I would categorize my usage as moderate (facebook, texting, phone calls, some game playing, maps, music playing)
Fresh 3.2 w/ launcherpro mem set to high (sense removed)
Stock Kernal 2.6.32.15-g3a8614e
Underclocked w/ SetCPU (screen off 245/screen on 652 max)
Autokiller set to "Extreme"
4g turned off most part of day since i dont get a signal at work.
Turned airplane mode on the second night (went to bed with 6% left...woke up with 6% haha).
Forgot to add
I have always on mobile turned off and background data disabled (only thing noticed with these settings is that 3G wakes up a lil slower when turning on screen and you cannot go to the market unless you turn background data which is okay for me because i pretty much have all the apps i want.)

Sounds like Fresh 3.2 stock is very good battery life. I have heard this before just never tried it out. 30 hours is a long time on a single charge with moderate usage.

I've heard the same thing, that Froyo does a great job of managing background apps and etc. However, when I look in my systempanel app I still see a lot of background stuff running that I didn't even know about, and a ton of apps running in the background.

I don't get many apps running wild in the background for me. Um...

I'm pretty new to all this and just recently started trying a non-stock setup and it has been giving me really nice battery results. I don't have have any graphs or screen shots, but the first time i tried to fully drain it on purpose had me laughing hysterically. I was running 100% brightness, wifi, gps, bluetooth and pandora. The darn thing ran for like 5-6 hours straight. I couldn't believe it. seemed ridiculous.
took it to disney yesterday on a full charge. made a handfull of calls and a bunch of texts. checked the weather and a few other misc. things.
came home with 80-75 battery life. was very impressed.
i never got this kind of performance on stock.
Here's my setup:

Very nice to see others having success with the battery tweak! It is still my primary go-to for when I know I count on good battery life. Did you happen to check out my guide in my signature?

well from what i read autokiller is not like a "task killer". It modifies/improves how android kills processes if that makes any sense.
been working for me...

We need to be using more descriptive scripts/apps to be comparing such.
For example my ROM is heavily stripped down/modded.
Also consider that everyone should be clearing caches and allowing them to rebuild before testing.
Not to mention anyone who has a flush active (use "top -m 5 -n 1" to see) will have much lower performance.

How long do think your phone needs to rebuild a clean cache? A couple days or so?

[Q] AOSP, Kernals, and a Newbie.

I am fairly new to this scene.
I recently got an EVO and decided I hated Sense so I went looking for a stock ROM. Light and fast. I have tried Cyanogenmod7 and Salvage Mod. The thing is, the battery life I am getting with these ROMs is awful. Cyanogen I was losing 20% an hour with the screen off, the phone untouched. Salvage Mod, I am down to 85% in an hour and a half.
I have read about kernals and how they can help with battery life, speed up performance, etc. What are some that I should look into using and how do I go about applying them? Is there a failsafe if its a bad flash?
Also since Sense feels so slow and bloated (to me at least) what are some other good AOSP ROM's out there? That have a little more to it but is not loaded down with unnecessary tools I will never use.

Personally I run:
rom: CM7 Nightlies
Kernel: Tiamat 4.0.6 [3.3.7 is the GOD of battery life]
Mods: Viper mod, undervolted at 825mv floor and -100mv
CPU: Under clocked at 128 min and 537 max
Many people use my setup now and get great results, so I would recommend it to you.

Doesnt the nightly ROM tend to have more issues or do they run better than the stable builds?
What are the Mods? Viper, and then what does it mean undervolted at 825mv floor and -100mv?
Thanks for the help thus far!

mods = modification type tools
viperMOD is a mod put out by viperboy. it allows you to undervolt your kernel.
less voltage should translate to less battery consumption. take your time and read the post, it may look intimidating but it's rather simple. NOTE: if you lower your voltage too much your EVO will get stuck at the boot screen during the next reboot. do not fear...simply go into recovery and reflash your nightly this will reset your voltages. i'd suggest lowering the voltage in increments of 25 or 50 till it hangs then raise it by 25. run with that for a few days to see how it feels.
you may want to look at the Supercharger script (see signature), its not a battery saving mod, its more for memory management and system responsiveness. again, the OP looks intimidating but a reflash will reset your system. (ie: you will have to rerun both ViperMOD and SuperCharger each time you flash a new nightly)
nightly's may or may not be more stable than the RC. it all depends on what was added the day before. the easiest way to find a good nightly is to scan thru the nightly thread for a nightly that is a day or two old...if it causes issues folks will cry and moan in that thread...once you get a nightly that works well for you i'd suggest you stick with it until the link below indicates a new feature or fix that you need/want.
this page will list the EVO related changes included in the latest nightly
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=supersonic
see signature links to viper, super and nightly threads.
have fun.

Salvage is awesome. Extremely light and plays well with V6 Scripts. Try them all out, give them a least a couple of days each.

How long does it take for the battery life to stabilize? Its looking like Salvage is averaging out to about 10% an hour, but I know I could do a whole lot better than that.
Any other Mods, kernals, or ROMs (especially AOSP) you guys would recommend?

After flashing a rom, charge the phone up to 100%, then go into recovery and wipe the battery stats; you'll see the change in roughly 2-3 days, as it has to 'settle' in.

note: there is a difference between a SBC and nonSBC kernel. this has to do with charging the battery. there are some folks that do like/trust SBC and others (myself included) that appreciate SBC. basically, SBC pretty much ensures that if you plug in your phone at night before you sleep when you take it off the charger in the morning you will have 100% battery to work with. Stock (or nonSBC kernels) will charge to 100% then stop charging and drain to 90% then charge to 100% rinse repeat. this means that when you take it off the charger you will have somewhere between 90-100% charge.
also, keep note of which applications are sync'ing and at what interval.
for example: do you need facebook to sync each hour? do you need weather to sync each hour? etc.

Also you might want to try SavagedZen RC4 and/or its kernels. They have built in HAVS (like Vipermod) and on the fly SBC (you can just uncheck and check it off)..

Jakister, do you have a link to that ROM? Reading up on it, it sounds awesome. I followed the main thread and the link to download it is dead
Nevermind, it must have just been down when I tried to DL it.

Try this one: http://mirror.savaged-zen.com/ forgot abt that dead link..happened to me when u try it from "mirror" instead from "download now" link. Works?

That one worked! I have flashed the Tiamat (sp?) kernal and the battery life was great for awhile but then it started to dive again. Also, the GPS could never grab ahold on the Cyogen mod. One of these days I will get it right!
Any other AOSP kernals you guys would recommend me look into? I also have the smartass governor on and have my CPU marked to go from 245-729. Do I need to make that lower? I figured 729 was a good compromise from 998
Any other AOSP Roms you guys would recommend?
I have looked at
Salvage Mod
Savaged Zen
Cyanogen Mod
Are there any other ones worth looking into? I think I need to figure out undervolting or find a better kernal

My Configuration
Savaged-Zen kernels have a new download server which can be found here: http://sz.munkibizness.com/ I personally use MIUI with a Savaged-Zen kernel along with viperMOD and Supercharger V6 for speed and simplicity.

How do Vipermod and Supercharger work exactly? You change the settings for those in the Terminal?

Yes, you change the settings for them in the Terminal. However, for vipermod, I use Terminal Emulator (available free in the Market) and for Supercharger V6 I use Script Manager (available free in Market also) and BusyBox Installer (in Market). For BusyBox Installer, make sure you have 1.18.2 or lower installed from within the app.

[Q] Cm7 vs Explod?

Hi guys, i was just wondering which rom is better with the evo or overall for battery life and gaming, "cm7" rom or the "explod" rom or now "decks"

Which rom is better would depend on what features you need in a rom.

then i suppose the best way i can put it is which one gives better battery life while i also play games on my phone like star legends?

They're mostly the same. Explod has a couple of different elements, mainly eye candy.
Check out the thread below and you'll get good battery life.
I recommend decks

what exactly makes it better? and if i used explod i would probably swap to go launcher.

why would you use Xplode to run Go Launcher? The first thing you'll notice with Xplode is that is basically a different launcher over CM7. Same as Deck's is Launcher 2 over CM7.
Just use CM7, then root explorer to replace ADW with Go launcher and you are in business

Also, you can you the timescape widget and the photos and videos widgets, which are cool, but can only run on that rom. You need the sony launcher. You can extract the sony launcher and run it in CM7, but you won't be able to use the timescape or photos/videos widget, as you'll be missing some sony framework. Also a different dialer. You can take the infinite view for contacts and run that on CM7 as well.

Check out my setup. I don't really use it for games but my current setup gives me exponentially better battery life than anything I was using before.
With other kernels I used I would have to underclock and switch my scaling profile in order to have my battery last more than a few hours. Now the battery lasts all day and I dont have to worry about losing performance by having to scale down my cpu at all. Amazing battery life while maintaining great performance. That's what I've found with this setup.

what cpu settings and governor do u use?

My understanding is that Decks is basically a stripped down CM7... Xplod is Decks with the Sony Experia launcher and widgets/apps added in (in place of the Decks launcher which is ADW if I remember right)... as well as some themed coloring that is different from Decks.
Performance wise, you shouldnt see too much difference, as they all started with CM7 and just had a little bit removed/added for personal prefrence.

this is a quote from decks: "Currently as i look at my phone, my battery stats have me at 31 hours and counting with 15% left. So battery life as you can tell was one of my main concerns. Everything works!!!" so the decks gingerbread rom was designed for more than just being like cm7

I am set to "On Demand" with my CPU set at 1.036ghz. Phone runs smoothly at this setting and my battery lasts forever. You can switch the scaling to performance, and up the clock speed a little, and you'll get even better performance. Albeit, your battery life will naturally go down, but it will still last longer than any other kernel combos I've tried.

with your clock speed set so low you don't really have to worry about battery life regardless of which scaling you use. Trying to game at 690 is going to be a pain in the ass as well. I don't really know anything about the Interactive/InteractiveX scalings. I've used Smartass before and I've been really pleased with the results of that scaling. I usually use Ondemand because that is the default setting that my phone goes to when I boot it up and I am too lazy to change it. When I do get around to changing it I will usually switch it to either Smartass or Performance depending on what I intend to do with the phone.

Galaxy running hot...

I'm kinda new to the S3 and have mainly stuck with TWIZ roms, I've tried a couple AOSP roms but found that the battery gets hot as hell quickly either while charging or using and the data connectivity is spotty at best on AOSP, I have LTE where I live but rarely see it on AOSP. I've updated PRL and profile and radios...but no luck...can anybody help or point me in the right direction? Thank...

well generally twiz roms are more stable than aosp roms... so id stay in the TWiz sections... but thats all i can say

AOSP ROMs typically run the CPU harder. While TouchWiz ROMs use more RAM. Thus why AOSP ROMs typically, emphasis on the 'typically', run hotter than TouchWiz ROMs. There are ways around this. For example, messing with CPU governors and settings. I have found ktoonsez has kept my AOSP ROMs fairly cool, relative to the default. Heat also means battery drain. So you will find here that TouchWiz ROMs normally have better battery life. I highly recommend CleanBean 4.1. Very nice ROM. Complete, stable, very quick and snappy. While no sacrificing battery life, as I was able to squeeze out about 14-15 hours. Good luck

While I agree that AOSP ROMs use more CPU and TW use more RAM, for me AOSP had the best battery life. Espicially when I'm running ktoonsez kernel I get a good 3+ hours screen time and a total of 20 hours easily. While on a TW ROM running ktoonsez I get maybe 2 and a half hour screen time with a total of maybe 12-15 hours of total battery time. Also for me the only time my phone gets hot is when my phone is charging and I am using it constantly or I'm playing graphic driven games.

Flash freeza's md4 firmware then clean install Liquidsmooth 2.5 then their gapps, thats it, leave the kernel that comes with it. No more heat, everything works perfectly including LTE

Just recently my phone too has become hot. But the only thing I've changed is the micro SD, from 32-64gb. Could that be the reason why?

I doubt that would be the issue. You haven't changed anything else ? Such as OC'ing higher, or at all ? Switching Kernels ? Dropping the Device ?

Nein.
Some info:
Any ROM.
Always using stock kernel.
No tweaks.

have you downloaded any apps? they might be making your cpu work harder...

I like to run my setup for a day before I download any apps, so no.
I've also wiped internal storage.

What Rom are you running ? What Kernel ? What are your Min / Max settings for the Kernel ? Voltages ?

Must have missed that . At this point I would try a different Kernel. I suggest Ktoonsez Kernel.

If anyone is still having issues here.
Apps repeatedly doing wakelocks, Phone becoming hot while on standby or on charging indicates that theres a ton of background processes going while its charging.
And that includes weather updating, widgets with high refresh rate, auto-sync enabled automatically to turn on or off via file tweaks or utility applications.
I've been using CarbonRom and the only time it gets hot is when the phones at it's peak playing graphical games.
Mines is stock kernel but I have tweaked scripts that turn off my CPU's 2nd core while on standby,
and having SetCPU Auto clock the processor to be at its 2nd lowest to very lowest while screen off, and have
it clocked midranged 702-801 while screen on without doing any UV or OV.
I would also have force GPU Rendering checked and disable hardware overlays when im not using anything on the phone.
My battery life is 6-10 hours screen on web browsing, reading articles, watching movies / videos on netflix ~ Depends.
If I charged the battery and calibrate it and left it off standby without touching it, it can last around 3-4 day's depending on my
background wakelocks on messaging or any type of SMS or alerts recieved.
Also using Greenify to hibernate Ram hungry apps. and I'd usually freeze certain apps that aren't killable to save battery life.
