Hey all,
I want my phone to go as fast and smooth as possible. Battery life is no issue as I have recently turned my phone into a brick with help from the double capacity battery.
I've read a little about governors, but it really is easy for a noob like me to get a little lost!
So if some one can share what the best settings would be, it would be muchly appreciated. If anyone wants to take a stab at suggesting a kernel, please go ahead, though from my little experience, kernel choice seems to be something very personal lol.
Have been using franko's kernel a lot but more that I have the bigger battery I can really now focus on speed rather than worrying about conserving power.
Thanks

I just want my phone to go as fast as possible.... Because pretty much everyone is concerned about their battery, most advice is geared towards that in mind. I just want it fast.... Can someone help?

My advice as a fellow noob would be to try out the different kernels and see for yourself which one works best for you. In each kernel if you check out the governors you can set them at the 'performance' mode which should give you the performance you are looking for.
Thanks mate for the reply.
So it's performance governor I'm after.... Will switch up that now. Thanks!

Just to start, I'm not a complete noob, I know the basics of rooting etc, I have rooted my Hero and flashed new ROM's at least 450,000 times. (Exaggeration)
Firstly, I can see there is a kernel that has an overclock feature, but I would like to know if it has an underclock feature? I know SetCPU does, as I use it with my Hero, but I am unsure if it's different for the Desire.
Also, with the Hero, if I flash the phone with a stock RUU it will set everything back to normal. Is this the case with the Desire?
Thanks guys
Yes and yes
My GF will be happy. She'll have awesome battery life.
What are the best settings to have?

If you find the best settings to have....please let us know!
The battery life is not fantastic on the Desire regardless.
True, decent on standby, draining like hell when used.
And there is really not much you can do about it, turn off everything you're not using, maybe flash an UV-OC ROM and underclock. Perhaps you can save same battery at the expense of performace but I doubt it would be much.
I was told on the guide that it works best with nohavs kernel but im using the 4.2.1 by netarchy cfs,yet it gets to 70% in an hour with light usage.
And im a pretty heavy user.
I know he posted the recommended kernels that work on the rom but I need to know what works best with the tweak for the optimal battery life and smooth and quick. Because the kernel im on now is not smooth nor quick. A bit laggy actually.
Please im in need of help,don't flame or just leave.
(I know this will be moved but i need your guys help)
What's your opinion?
I need assistance.
Thank you.

Hey bud, instead of posting about this in THREE different places stick to the Q&A section OR the Myn rom post! Im not going to be a total @$$ hole about this, but wait for it someone will be. It gets obnoxious reading your exact same post in three places. Thanks and have a nice day.

You should really utilize XDA's search feature more! Instead of using the battery tweak, you should use something a little simpler for battery savings like setCPU or CPU tuner, both of which can be found on the market. Just having a profile set for screen off makes a huge difference, assuming you allow your screen to sleep. In the end, a little bit of reading and personal experimentation goes a long way in becoming more competant and knowledgeable about your device.
Hey Guys!
I have a VZW Galaxy Nexus rooted and running on CM 10.2 (Have no clue what kernel it's running). The phone is great but i'm having a lot of issues. My battery life is very very bad! I know the phone's battery already is terrible as is but mine is really bad. It's becoming more and more slugglish. I barely have any ram free.
My question is what do ya'll suggest is the best ROM, Kernel, etc for me to have on it. I know its off of preference but what i'm looking for is an increase in performance overall. There is a lot ROMs and Kernels out there but I just don't which ones are the best to use. I've thought of a lot of things but don't know what I should do. Under-volt the CPU? Change the kernel? Run a lighter ROM? Basically what ever it takes to get my phone running like most of the newer phones till my contract is over lol. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks,
Alex
I'm looking for the most battery friendly rom there is out there.
I don't care for features - only battery life.
A rom and battery life are related to what you do with your phone. So there is no "most" or "best".

Stick with stock and just disable any bloat apps you don't need. You won't see much, if any, change running a custom rom.

As he said there is no best or most.
But I do recommend you to try Android Revolution HD ROM.
Only ROM I know very close to stock.

And before anything else, do a EFS backup.

for now the best battery is with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415582 thunderlite
I have been trying to get an amazing battery life and all I can say so far is
you can try wanamlite (standart features and really good battery life)
thunderlite ....but everytime i try to flash walkman from sony it breaks (i used this apk on other roms and it works flawlessly)
and swift v4 is really good too.
all of them have amazing battery life and also you can use greenify to kill apps like facebook that are like leechers sometimes.
Good question danielfiller.
Guys what about CM-based roms ?

Same answer. Battery life depends on what you're doing with your phone. I cam chew through a full charge quicker by playing IronMan, versus it sitting there doing nothing.

You're totally right. However, if you are to let your phone set ideally. Do you think it would drain faster if CM-based is installed ?
I would guess sitting idle doing nothing, the differences would be negligible.
I think you would see marginally different gaps by using various kernels. Some are geared to better handling wakelocks and shutting things down to a very low state while idle. But, end of day, I would wager a difference of maybe 30mins, if there was one.
Andreilux, the brains behind the perseus kernel (tw roms only) could give a much better insight on the edge cases and why/how drains happen outside of errant apps. But most mere mortals may go glassy eyed trying to follow along.

So because I'm a broke boy I am still using and AT&T HTC One M8 as my daily driver. I have found AICP to be my personal preference when it comes to software, it is based off Lineage with just a few tweaks. Nothing major. Recently I played around with a few other roms to see if there was anything worth switching, but to no avail, although one of the roms came with a kernel to enable quick charging, and I use Ampere to measure and sure enough it boosted my charging speed by quite a bit. My battery is terrible bc the phone is old so I need all the help I can get when It comes to charging.
My question is, is there a way to get a kernel for Lineage for the HTC One M8 to enable quick charge? I know the modification that needs to happen, it is something involving
Code:
/sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge=1
I am pretty experienced with modding androids, I know how to use ADB, Fastboot, and all that, so if anyone could help me or even point me in the right direction I would really really appreciate it.
Thank you!!
I don't think, fast charge is good for your dying battery. In the long term a powerbank will be your second best friend. And try to keep state of charge between 25 and 75%
