Any one have ideas for battery saving kernels?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Well... everyone is different, and all phones take each kernel different. It all depends in your usage and what things you're running. You have to try out different kernels and see. You can try SBC type kernels they work great on my phone. Give that a try. Search and look for kernels in the search box. Hope this helps

kernel
might want to try netarchys kernels they are great....hes the best
Savaged Savaged Savaged!!
Savaged-zen is an amazing kernel, plus it has SBC which I love. Great battery life, quick. What more could you want?
I personally have good battery with the Tiamat kernel; sbc available if you want it.
OK...first post so here we go. Been using the destroyer rom and the latest sav-zen kernal (v.0.2.0 cfs) for the last two days. My phone responds pretty smooth even being underclocked. The battery life is great compared to stock...yesterday with light-moderate use I was at 17 hours with 30% left. Today over 12 hours of light use but jumping in and out of roaming for about four hours and I'm at 64%. Great job to all the devs

Cm7 cause the others are built from the same source and most of them all have a little cm7 in them anyways.

Is salvage mod cm based?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I like kings rom. It is fast and the battery life is great.
i would honestly say the best Gb rom is Savagemod1.1
I used savagemod 1.0 for the longest because, it was the most stable rom.
It has working: 4G and GPS, it's quick and snappy.
As a matter of fact I just flashed the 2.6 Savage kernel and I'm having the HARDEST time draining my battery. I've got 4g on, wifi on, blue tooth, wireless tethering, live wall papers, pandora, and the flash light on and it's literally taking forever to die. At the current rate, it's supposed to live for another 4 hours... >.<;; I want to kill it so that it can charge from the beginning, (rambling lol)
Yeah in the end. If you want a quick, reliable, and most of all stable rom. I'd go with SavageMod 1.1
I like to stick with the originators, the real og's in the game and thats cm.

No. Its aosp based.
I'm currently on cm7 nightly 14. I picked it up and felt no reason to flash after that. What I love about it is the battery life, I'm always wondering how people pull off these ridiculous numbers, but I can get 30 hours of light usage with the clocking governor on conservative. It also has a bunch of awesome cyanogenmod settings specifically. These are awesome, I have gestures on my unlock screen to turn on torch and go to spring pad and such. It's fairly fast and smooth. I ran MIUI for months and loved it but it eventually started acting up and slowing down and I missed the android look. The only thing that takes trouble to work every time is gps. Oh btw wimax is blazing on this rom!

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

Get tiamat sbc kernel with viperboys scripts
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
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...

Turn off wifi limit
Unchecked auto brightness and set it to anything less than 50%
Turn off 4g
Use wifi if available
That's it. I would get a full day out of my battery with little phone lot of wifi usage. Text. Aim. Words with friends. FB.

Ok so I have flashed a few roms and now my battery seems like its on a drain suicide mission. I used the same Rom for a week had great battery life with sinister Rom tried cm7 and flashed back to sinister for example my phone has been off the charger less than 10 minutes and its drained 11 percent already.
What's going on? It was so stable.

Search the word battery calibration.
I found switching to sense and aosp a lot messes with the battery stats

Look for viperboys rom in e3d dev. There is battery calibration info in there that I just tried. It takes about 3 cycles to complete but worth it.

Why is finding a decent Rom for the Evo4G with 4G so darn hard!!!!!
What makes the Evo/Android OS so hard to incorporate into Roms?
If their are any 2.3.5 + 4.67 +4 G Roms that are worth trying let me know!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,
MikG 3.11, is definitely worth a try

Ummm where have you been looking? Swagged out stock(any of them), team nocturnal stock or ics-ish. Diablos annihilator. All 4.67 and amazing. Plus, the classic by tommytomatoe should drop any day now and that will be ridiculous. I'm currently on SOS x ca1nes classic kernel and it is great.

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.

That makes you completely ignorant for making that statement. Yes it is harmful in the long run, and they don't include it because of that and the things that can happen to that battery that cam cause the user harm.
try swagstr SOS X, it is my daily driver and doesn't eat the battery up on mine.. You may also want to download a battery calibrator after flashing a new rom

Google developers have said that battery calibration applications do absolutely nothing to improve battery life. If you would like to challenge them, be my guest.
