So I'm currently running Juggs 5.0 and using the Darkside kernel. First day was rocky but relished it and love how smooth it is. Now am just testing the battery life. Here are much questions... 1) I was using cpu tune for my Faux kernel and used different profiles for it. Since I have Gideons script can I still do that? 2) Do you recommend it since I have this script? 3) I want my phone to not use hardly any battery when at rest or sleep, what's the best way to do this with the info I have given? Also I am using juice defender. Thanks in advance fellas !!

1) Yes but I wouldn't recommend it, its equivalent to having two CPU apps, they'll conflict, so pick one
2) See point one
3) Make sure your phone is deep sleeping, by using CPU spy and betterbatterystats to avoid app wake locks, which keep your phone from entering deep sleep and draining more battery.
For better performance all around (including deep sleep) i recommend undervolting with either faux clock or system tuner. Gideon script can also be modified to undervolt more if you read up on it a little.
As a side note, the general consensus among power users is that juice defender sucks. It drains more than it saves

No, a kernel won't kill the radio. Jd sucks, and it eats up more battery than it saves. Having your radios shut off makes a smartphone dumb. Run gideons script and call it a day.

Yeah I know that but I still don't know a lot about it still. I have to read here and there and processing time for me may not be as quick as some of y'all But what I thought underclocking was is it is going below the standard speed that my phone typically does like 1242. So it would run at 1080 or whatever rate I chose. So I guess I'm wondering is when does it decide to run at whatever MHz it runs at? So the numbers I showed, is that about right or good? Again thanks

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

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...

WHOA it's rare to see someone say that the battery life is horrible in this forum. You should try a new fresh wipe and install, and try different kernels.
Try darksides super wipe then re install juggernaut ROM. Make sure not to run setcpu or any other cpu apps, I was having bad battery drain running setcpu.

i actually think those "battery saving" and task killer apps uses up more juice than saving ... i had juicedefender ultimate and i noticed my battery drain when it was enabled .. i deleted the app and ive noticed a great improvement on my battery .
Agree
I was also getting horrible battery life on the Juggernaut roms. I tried the bullet kernel, synergy, and faux kernels with all sorts of different ways to reduce battery consumption such as underclocking, undervolting, uninstalling bloat, and removing apps from startup. No matter what, my phone would always be dead by the time I came home from work/school (I'm usually away from home from 630am until 800pm).
I recently started using the DARKSIDE rom/kernel in the hopes that it would provide some better battery life and I am actually getting significantly longer usage times. As of right now after ~15 hours of time spent off the charger and with moderate use (~500 texts/day, XDA app, FB checking, random Internet usage), I have just under 40% battery life remaining. I must say I am very impressed with this rom and give the developer TDJ mad props.
So here's my battery life with Eugene's Macnut ROM:
Compared to this (Juggernaut 4.1 with ICS Ultimate Theme):
I run juggs with TDJ Darkside kernel, kernel makes huge diff

I am running Juggs 4.1 as well previously with the FAUX123 kernel and decided to try out TDJ's Darkside kernel. Wow, huge difference, highly recommend. I use system tuner app to adjust my speeds but main thing in system tuner app is to go into boot settings and set screen-off to powersave governor and max frequence to 800, 500 etc.
I also run easy bettery saver and that helps as well. Battery life is best I have ever had with my G2 and I got it first day it came out and have run most all of the rom's kernels on it. If you can I would suggest running TDJ's Darkside rom as well. I would but just don't want to reload again at this point.

I'll try darkside rom and see if it fixes my battery drain problem.

Thank you for this, I wasnt aware of that, what do you use to change your clockspeed when your screen is off? I recently switch from an iphone and unfortunately battery life seems to be something I have to actually think about now. I know its a faster processor and a bigger screen so I get it, I just never had to worry about turning off wifi and things like that before. I currently am running beastmod 4.2 with darkside kernel. I have 9hrs on battery at 41% with 2 hrs and 15 min of display. Im not really interested in speed at this point so I thought setcpu was a good thing to use to underclock and use less battery. Can you recommend any good alternatives or should I not bother with setcpu type apps. Thanks in advance
On darkside... Not the current one but the one before it... I think it was version 1r2 or something like that. Battery is great, better than juggernaut. I have bluetooth and Wifi on all day

They gobble up a TINY bit more CPU (probably no more than 1% throughout the entire charge) at the cost of managing your data settings. It saves juice primarily when your phone is idling. It pings, it checks data thresholds. The main idea is that it turns off 4g/wifi when you're not using it, and back on when you are. This requires a little but of CPU, but you end up having a battery that lasts much longer.
There's never be a time when you're using your phone 100% of the time on battery. There's ALWAYS idle time.
Hi I've got liquid smooth as above on my phone. Since installing I have bad battery life. Losing 10% In 2 hours while sleeping. I dont think I have a wake lock I've checked battery stats and it looks like its sleeping. I have run battery calibration and done 3 complete charge/discharges so I'm at a loss.

that's what it's supposed to do. part of the "project butter" tweaks for jelly bean included this type of CPU jump when performing a task. that instant jolt to the maximum device GHz helps make doing everything on the phone more fluid/fast.
to get better battery on your device and troubleshoot whether this feature is hurting you specifically more than helping, feel free to adjust your max speed. start low, at say 1GHz, then bump it up a hundred at a time to find out where your phone is the most comfortable.

Can we maybe explain it as having a device that just run's hot ? It was my first inclination.
OP, maybe I glanced over it at first but you stated you have used many rom's and kernels and got the exact same response on all the ones you used ?
Did you you try going back to stock rooted and seeing how it was from there ? A completely clean slate might be your best idea. The only way a device will get hot is is more power is being used to keep the processor at higher temperatures. There really isn't any other way or than faulty hardware issue.

Guess project butter has a high pricetag. Are there any governers that don't do this? Or is this unpreventable?

its not a price tag. its a script set to take advantage and make the most of the hardware on your phone. as soon as the task has begun, the CPU speed drops immediately.
see above post by hednik. i lean towards his thinking on this

I almost always use ondemand governor. In my humble opinion nearly all the other ones are inefficient or just placebo's. My phone runs streaming radio 4-5 hours a days on LTE and it never gets hot. Stays at around 918mhz at the highest. There a few bugs in 4.1.1 like the media server scanning where it will constantly scan your media because of a bad file.
Odin stock rooted 4.1.1 and then see how it goes. Factory reset it and erase /data or move to to pc or ex sd card. Won't take long and if it still does it I can't see what it would be.
