[q] please help!!! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I have been losing a lot of sleep because of this. I just want some recommendations and opinions!
Running Jugg 4.1
Tried both Faux (007b5) and Bullet 2.9b.
Which one is better to use if I want good battery life but good performance as well.
I know in faux's, its been OC'd for the 2D and 3D...does that mean Bullet is not?
I just need to know which kernel works the best with Jugg...thanks!!!!!!!

prob bullet works best with jugger, but i do recomend faux, thats what i use and i love it! amazing battery too

thanks for the quick response. btw, when you say works best what do you exactly mean? and if thats the case, how come you recommend faux?
so sorry for being so specific, but im going through that phase of trying to settle in with a kernel/rom but i keep getting mix feelings!!
thanks in advance

lol its all good i understand, well my current setup is gingersnap, and it has faux and im in love! silky smooth,i had juggernaut before that with bullet and it was nice also, but i once flashed faux and battery was not the greatest with jugger, later on i found out it was cuz it was OC to 1.7, but give faux a shot it wont disappoint
ive tested every rom and kernel out there faux with gingersnap is my fav by [email protected]

You lost a lot of sleep because of this?...

every phone operate differently.. but generally juggernauts battery life doesn't compare to the asop roms for obvious reasons... but it's not that big of a difference... about 30 mins to 1hr more on screen time (if using adjusted settings) i personally use dewizzed... their rom is great for battery life..
here's two setup for dewizzed..
dewizzed + faux + gideon script (no CPU controller app// set cpu, systemtuner etc.)
dewizzed + synergy (not sure but apparently stock synergy is fine, but a lot of people adjust values with system tuner.. check the thread for synergy)

Bombaridier is the rom to go
If you really want great battery life , there is no better rom out there than bombardier 3.0 or 3.5
I don't OC or UV or anything and I always got around 18-20 hours a day.
Give it a try

What is the Best kernal for battery life with Undervolting Frequency Schedular SetCPU

Hey devs and users alike I was wondering what would be the best kernal to use to get great battery life, im fine with 12hrs+ although id prefer 18+ im using ava-froyov7 with netachys kernal. Any recommendations im willing to switch ROMS except for Cm6 since it is a SENSELESS ROM. Or any kernals that already have a low frequency governor Please post any recommendations.

Check out this thread it could be of some use. Look at maH drawn screen on and off could give you an indication of battery usage.

Best AOSP Rom For Battery Life

I'm currently running Cyanogenmod, but I listen to music at least a few hours a day, and its really draining my battery. Any suggestions for a good AOSP rom for battery life, outside of MIUI and Cyanogenmod? Thanks!
Try the new savaged Zen kernel..

do not use the 1.0.0 kernel or you will get nasty audio quality if volume is > 50%
SZ 0.2.1 is getting me a lot of battery life. there is salvage mod 1.1 as well
I haven't done a whole lot of kernel flashing before, SZ is compatible with Cyanogenmod I take it?
Are you looking for Rome or kernels?....cus Tom's I wouldn't know but the tiamat kernel in my sig for AOSP roms works really well...SBC and non-SBC available
Sent from my nightly EVO
I am getting REALLY good results with CM7 and Tiamat. I don't do a ton of music listening but I do put medium to heavy use on it and I am nowhere near having to charge it end of day.
Thanks guys, I'm gonna try out tiamat then!
Beast, I see you're using SBC, how about you blizzard? I'm a little concerned to try the SBC one.
If you're using pandora, slacker, or some other music streaming app your battery will suffer pretty much regardless of whatever kernel you're using.

SavagedZen is he best for ASOP in my experience, but anyone can have great battery life just by turning off data/WiFi, etc when you aren't using it.

I am on the nonsbc one, I usually disregard the warnings as I am fairly comfortable in flashing and such but when it states actual damage possible that's where I stop.
That's just me though, some people seem to have great success with it.
If you do a little research, the 8 reports of damage from sbc kernels came from the very early days of sbc development.
It's all I use and I haven't had a problem.
Maybe I'm just lucky

Yea don't get me wrong, I know they are probably safe to use or the devs wouldn't put them out as final builds. I just personally don't use them.
Visit HERE. Also, I've been using sbc since they first arrived on the seen. I've yet to have any problems so I suppose everyone is different.
I run this rom, http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-htc-...rom-gingerbread-evo-deck-rc6-real-stable.html
And this kernel, http://mirror.savaged-zen.com/
with great results.

[Q] Absolute Best Battery Life (ROM & Kernal + mods)

I'll be joining in a protest soon. Since having access to charge my Evo as often I usually do, I need to change ROM's I think.
I currently run MIUI 1.9.16 with Tiamat 4.0.6 SBC, no mods.
Can anyone suggest ROM's and Kernals that will grant me the best battery life as well as what mods and scripts I should run?
AOSP or Sense, doesn't matter with me.
Thank you for any advice that is given.
^_^
The best battery life I have gotten was from MikFroYo 4.4 with Netarchy-Toastmod-4.3.4
Edit: The easiest way to extend battery life, is to turn off all radios not in use (GPS/4G/Mobile Networks/Bluetooth), and turn your brightness down as far as you can.
in my opinion it seems that froyo (2.2) roms get better battery life, also running SBC is always better.. and the things said above obviously

I already do what you mentioned in the bottom part. I'll look into MikFroYo later today. Thanks. It'll take time getting used to Sense, I've been on MIUI since May, two months after I rooted.
How bad is your battery life?

Right now, slightly below average with the Data and everything on. I've been to busy to calibrate it and do the steps to increase battery life. Organizing a protest, funding, taking care of the house, following news articles (not a fast reader and I need glasses), etc... T_T
I need to do the whole calibration ting tomorrow morning. Mine's been a real slug with battery life lately.
The best battery life I ever had was with Koni III and Netarchy SBC Havs more

Occupy Youngstown. One of the cities following in suite with Occupy Wall St.
My best was from Warm 2.2 with sbc htc#15, also the toastmod with sbc was good too.
Gotta get a 3500 batt for great life. I got 3 days at a charge with above combo.

I'm currently using Swagged Out rom, With Lithids Freedom Aggressive kernel which is undervolted by -175, and V6 SuperCharger script! Its an amazingly smooth stock rom. Kernel wise its the best battery life I've ever gotten on my EVO. And as to V6 SuperCharger I've used it on every Rom I've flashed its awesome. Their are links to eveything in my signature.
I'm a flash-a-holic so i wouldn't really know wat the best combo is but i just flashed the new snowy Rom so going to give it a couple days with the aggressive freedom 9 kernel (128/768 interactivex) and see how it goes...

[Q]Which Kernel are you using?

Hello All!
I made a similar thread to this over at the SGSII forums and was wondering what your answers are. So, the question is simple, which Kernel are you using and is the battery decent? Or a pile of rubbish? Lemme know. Poll has been setup with the main Kernels, I'll put an "other" option for people who are using new Kernels.
So, poll away!

was using James Bond kernel 1.35 OC UV, never crash or lag. far better battery life than stock and super smooth.
right now i am testing faux123's kernel V9u for 4.0.2.

I tried Faux 4.0.3 Kernel yesterday, battery was losing 2% every 30 mins on idle, with next to 0 apps installed.
Running Stock AOKP Milestone 2 kernel, whichever kernel that is!
I wanna try different kernel but my ROM is perfect, not sure sure what other kernels may add that my rom already has and does.

As far as features go, Franco.Kernel adds color and vibrance to your screen. Its also tweakable so you can customize the color settings as you please. Battery is apparently awful though.

I am sort of noticing that battery life isn't so great too, although I wasn't sure since I haven't been running it for very long.
I was also looking for the best kernel.
Everybody talks about franco.Kernel. I will give it a try though.
Was using Franco's until earlier and now back to the Apex kernel that comes with bigxie's AOSP build
Eh? Franco kernel has the best battery life for me.

I just loaded on Lean kernel yesterday. Initial indications are that the battery life is extremely good.
180mhz cpu while screen off = happy battery.
Giving glaDOS a try.. it has some cool features like turn the screen on by touching it.. also has color control and battery life seems pretty decent so far. Big fan of imoseyon though.

I'm currently on Bigxie Build 8 with the Kernel included with it. Battery is pretty good. Underclocked my CPU to 970MHz. Losing 2% battery overnight (About 8 hours) and High usage I'm getting a decent amount of battery.
I'm wondering: I'm running ARHD 2.1.3 and thinking about flashing a kernel. Franco's had more options, but I'm getting that Jame Bonds kernel has a better battery life. That appeals to me. edit: ah, I see that Franco's is only for 4.0.3
Still, when I flash the kernel with ARHD 2.1.3 running, is it better to flash the anykernel.zip or should I just flash the original kernel?
Argh, just in the fun, looking for the best kernel. I'm between Franco's and Der Kernel Trinity NP (by the way, NP, Google, don't let Samsung impose it's boring naming system)
Trinity offers 512OC for the GPU, but I'd say Franco gives a better battery life....
Hmmmm difficult decision, isn't it? What do you guys think?
Currently rocking the Trinity kernel with mildly OC'd GPU (384 MHz).
I'm using imoseyon's kernel. I love minimalist kernels. Stable, fast, and not full of crapfeatures that just cause everything to crash and SOD and bootloop.
I think it's probably a good idea to give a try first of the kernel that comes with the ROM. Developers often adjust the ROM around the kernel they use and vice versa.
i went back to the James Bond kernel, no reboot or lag.
Lean IMO

[Q][kernal] What's a good one?

I have stock rooted, I love the phone and didn't want to flash a ROM so soon but I was wondering, what's a good kernal thats better than stock, that increases battery while not affecting the speed negatively, I currently get about 10-12hrs on my battery as is
Search doesn't work that well for me on mobile, so sorry if previously asked although I did scan the threads but just wanted to see how you guys are doing with your current kernals
Swyped from my Sgs2 T989
Try tdj's dark side kernel. Very smooth and great battery life. Plus you can overclock and under volt.

i think there's only about 4-5 options out there... but each phone's hardware is different so each kernel will be different.
For example, my phone works really well with faux and darkside, but i get quite a bit of drain from eugene's kernel (yes I do configure my clock speed and voltages) people say synergy has great battery life and is smooth, however, my phone says different. it lagged more than the 3 mentioned and battery life was equivalent. There is also the bullet kernel... i haven't played with that... not sure if im missing any other kernels... but yeah i suggest giving the first three a try first as they are currently being supported.
reminder, you should let your phone go through at least 2 charges before comparing kernel's battery life etc... and with our phone.. thats 2 days lol
Pretty much any of the kernels on the first page will give you better than stock battery life. Faux, synergy and the dark side kernel are the three most popular kernels amongst Devs so that must mean something.

yes it is better than stock, most of us actually UNDERclock because these devs are amazing lol

To be honest, i only ran stock for a few hours. Ive been running a custom rom since day 1. But I believe it would be better then stock because TDJ has undervolted the kernel slightly.
I'm using the darkside right now and so far so good
Swyped from my Sgs2 T989
I've tried most of the popular kernels and the best battery life I've observed has been with Synergy... hands down gives me the best standby battery life.
But what I've noticed that gives me even better battery life is just turning off mobile data when I don't need it (in class, during meetings)... which also turns off the background syncing.
But in the end, it's all up to you how crazy you want to get with your battery management.
