Which kernel do you guys prefer? Gladdos is awesome because I love its app with sound options . App seems to also work with Franco kernel though, but as far as reliability and performance goes, which do you guys like more?

Both are very stable. Use the one that you like more. Franco also has an app.

Personally I'm a big fan of the CM9 kernel. I use CMPlus by Cheekybutt simply because headphones sound like crap without Ezekeel's high performance audio mod.
I use Glados. Its outstanding. I find I can oc higher much more reliably. I use 1.6 for everyday usage which is not even seen as an option on many other kernels. on a lot of other kernels, Franco included I can't run higher than 1.35 CPU and 384GPU. I run 1.6 and 512 with glados. And the app kicks ass with tons of adjustable features!

512 GPU doesn't make a difference.. neither really does OC or UC

I heavily beg to differ. I notice a difference immediately. Everything is smoother when I do oc.
Just tried ocing the gpu in glados kernel and wow, definitely a difference! Now, at 504mhz, does it effect our battery life in a major way?

From what I've heard (not tried), the gain from OC'ing is minimal and battery consumption increase is quite big.

why do you even need to overclock? To me battery life is most essential factor and I have yet to come across a kernel that can give me satisfactory results, stock included. The screen on this thing is beautiful but eats battery like no other. I can't wait for Verizon to have a larger Note like device so we can have a larger battery.
The battery life on this phone is amazing for a Verizon LTE phone. Before I activated the phone I played with it around the house for about a week (had to take care of some things before I quit using the iPhone). I went 25 hours with 3 hours of display time. Mind you this was all on WiFi and since it wasn't activated there was no talk time. LTE is the battery destroyer not so much the screen. I have never ran this phone stock, so I have no benchmark to compare it too, but the charging times on the Franco kernel are insane. Went up 65% in 1 hour over a car charger.
I'll have to check out the Gladdos kernel.
what car charger do you have and what apps were you running? I have a 1.2amp usb charger from monoprice and with maps and pandora on it charges for a bit before it gets too hot and switches to "not charging" to not overheat. Then it stays at about the same battery level, give or take a few %
Something similar to this....http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07Y02A5396. Since it's dual port I'm sure it has a bigger fuse.

I suggest reading through the Franco.Kernel thread.. everything above 384 is minimal at best.

which brings me back to the another comment I made in another thread, LTE speeds for a phone is unnecessary. Lose battery life and pay up the wazooo if you don't have unlimited data (soon all of us)? Just a way for the big red to justify charging more. #switchingoffLTE

Then why offer a 512oc if its nothing? Reality is, the phone is noticeably smoother with it. And virtually no hit on battery life. I'm still getting high 3 hours screen on time and 20+ hours battery life. I'll take the much smoother experience for minimal battery life hit.

Much smoother? Exaggerate much??
And as for battery life, I get 5hrs screen on with 384.
Games run smoothly, UI is smooth, what more do you need.
If you can run 512 then why not but it does not make that much of a difference.
I have used both and I find no difference.

Well, for me on my phone, its a major difference between 384 and 512. And I've seen several people comment that it is a difference on their phone too. Web pages scroll is jerky on 384 for me, and with 512 its perfectly smooth. I've never ever gotten 5 hours screen on time with any setting I've ever chosen on my phone so thats not even in the question. Max ever was 4:30 screen on, that was with screen brightness lowest possible, entire time with wifi, which is not even in the question for me on a normal day. Normal for me is high 3's.
Anyways, we all know none of these phones are the same. They react differently to different settings. All I know, is on my phone, 512 is by far smoother than 384. And at a 40% OC of the CPU (1680-1700mhz) the phone is also noticeably faster. And actually, on my old Galaxy S, 1400 was the magic number i needed for things to actually FEEL and LOOK faster, which was 40% more. Anything less than that, I couldn't notice a boost. Thats just my thought on my phone.
Its very easy to see the difference in scrolling smoothness between 512gpu and 384gpu.
All you have to do is go to theverge.com mobile site and just scroll up and down using the stock browser.
The difference is very noticeable.
Glados 1.34 seems to resolve data drop issue, so I've stuck with it for now.

I'm big into getting the most speed out of all my purchases but came to the realization that underclocking my phone to 1.2Ghz (Trinity kernel/free gs3 rom/Nova Launcher) with SetCPU is just as responsive at 1.2Ghz as it is at 1.8Ghz for the most part. Not a big gamer but from the ones I've tested I noticed no lag whatsoever. Just thought I'd share for everyone addicted to benchmarking their phones for evaluating what speed they want to run with. In real world usage I'm still very happy @1.2Ghz and battery life went from wonderful to phenomenal. Best part is that with the savings I'm seeing on the battery I now feel more comfortable increasing the brightness to a more comfortable level.
I use touch wiz launcher and with it under clicked to 1.3 I start seeing noticeable lag. And battery life was not that much better. I do keep my screen at full brightness though.

The brightness setting is what's limiting your battery.
I've been running ahrd 12 for a day now, it's pretty impressive compared to ahrd 9.7.2 or stock.
My question relates to having to run apps like setcpu and juicy defender.
Are they still required , or will they just stuff up the better cpu and memory management that jb already has.
Thanks

Good question, I'd like to know this to.
I'm still on ARHD 11.1 (also JB) and loving it. But this phone is very power hungry so I'm trying as much as I can to keep the battery drainage as low as possible whilst retaining a very fast and responsive phone.
Currently I'm using SetCPU to reduce the CPU speed to 1GHz (interactive) for normal use, 860MHz (on demand) when the battery is below 25%.
CPU is limited to 640MHz (on demand) when sceen is off and may run at 1,2GHz (interactive) when charging.
As the screen is also a big battery hog I'm using Lux to change the screen brightness and I find the normal brightness way to bright.
My HTC One X runs on ICS 4.04 on stock (JB is not yet out for my phone). I wanna know if my phone is actually draining or not.
I had recently sent my phone for service and i had a odd smoking smell from my phone, as an additional compliant i told them that my battery also drains fast. HTC replaced my battery for the issue and sent it back.
I don't think my phone has improved on the battery performance. Got very curious and attempted to check the battery usage during gaming.
I played the NFS for 3 to 4 minutes and i noticed a decrease in the battery level of 4 to 5 %. Repeated the test couple of time to average at the same results.
PS: i started the game and never touched the phone and let it completed by itself. the game runs for about 3 minutes and 40 seconds to be little precise.
Can you suggest if this is actually the expected levels of decrease or is the phone draining faster?

You've for a quadcore device, its gonna chomp the battery away naturally. I've been reading that jb brings great battery improvements.
It all obviously depends on old school things roo. Like. Bluetooth, WiFi/mobile internet, brightness levels.
And also other factors like CPU governors, underclocking, over clocking, undervolting etc.
But the battery clearly isn't the problem as it was replaced and the levels don't seem THAT alarming.

Thanks! That is comforting awaiting the JB update and hopefully the battery improvements..
i have some questions on overclocking
1 . How to overclock
2 . Which app to use
3 . The long term effects and the device life expectancy
1. Some ROMs have it built in. You choose a higher speed than your phone default.
2. I have used No-Frills or the ROM's built in one.
3. I have OCed my DHD to 1.5 safely, but every phone is different. If it acts oddly lower the speed. And overclocking too much can reduce the life of the hardware.
I'm considering overclocking as well. Sometimes my phone slows down noticeable during scrolling through settings, I'm wondering if overclocking will solve that problem and if it has a big impact on battery life.

It probably will help, and it does impact battery life somewhat.
