I've been running agat and recently switched my i/o scheduler to SIO and governor to ktoonservative (from cfq and ondemand) since I heard it's supposed to be great on battery. Since then, however, I'm getting about the same battery life with less screen on time and with battery draining apps like facebook uninstalled. Do I just need to give it more time?
Sure, I usually go through two charging cycles before I rush to judgement.
Give it another good day or two.

Owners settle into their phones and stop fiddling with them constantly, not the other way around mate.
No they do not

Governors Are a setting roms don't actually settle the cache builds as you use apps and the rom there are multiple caches as well

Which kernel gives the best battery life?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Your question isn't an objective one , it's highly subjective but if my irrelevant opinion is going to appease you, try the macnut kernel from Eugene with the lionhdart governor.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
Synergy kernel has awesome battery life.
So does the one suggested above....Eugene's Streamline kernel.
Synergy vs. Streamline?
I know both are good but which kernel is better for battery life
Eugene's streamline or Newest Synergy?
Faux123 is the best.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I think it all depends on the ROM and how you use your device....one kernel might give me great battery life and give you decent battery life...try them all and make a decision

Let's not forget tdj 's darkside kernel. Gives awesome performance with great battery life
Sent from the Darkside, ICS style
Why? I don't think it's better than synergy or streamline in battery life.

Yes it does. But which one gives better battery (not performance) synergy or streamline?

Thanks. Does streamline come undervolted or must I undervolt It
myself once I flash it? And that's with the Lionheart governor right?
bump
So I take it streamline with Lionheart gives better battery life than Synergy with interactive or ondemand? Is this true?
Heyo
I've compiled a *very* simple kernel for our phones just to play with
001
- O/C to 1.8ghz by default
- insecure
002
- should boot up to 1.5 by default (read more on this below the log)
- raised max clock to 1.89GHz
- lowered voltage on a many frequencies
- added init.d support (busybox needs to be installed to /system/xbin!)
Also I'd suggest having your OC app (like SetCPU) go ahead and set your clock at whatever you want your max to be. thermald (a service which watches your phones temp and lowers it if it gets too hot) seems to be messing with the clocks until you set one after it's all booted. So if you don't want to OC, just set it to 1512000 in the app and click "Set on boot" option or whatever it may be.
003
- fixed kernel not being insecure
- sped up L2 cache
- more uv for 648000 and 702000 frequencies
================================================================
More to come as I play with it. Seems pretty stable (and warm!) at 1.8 ghz.
Thanks to faux123 & mdeejay for helping me out with a few things
Flash at your own risk. Make sure you have a NANDROID backup. Flashing the stock kernel via ODIN may not be enough to restore your device. You've been warned
Installation instructions
Reboot into recovery
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik-cache
Flash kernel zip
Reboot
Download Adama 003 mirror
Awwwww yeaaaaaa!!!!
Awesome thanks roman. Just saw this on twitter.. downloading now edit it works roman , what would you or i need to do to add bootanimation.zip support thanks again
I love you roman!

nice job Roman! my buddy has a Galaxy nexus and he swears by your AOKP ROM. shouldn't be too long for that now that we have our first booting kernel?
Nice work and nice to see you around. Thanks!

Roman, you are AMAZING! I'm so happy to see the first custom kernel on the SGS3 (US)!!
As for quadrants dropping, I'm almost 100% certain it's due to some sort of overheat protection. I know on the Galaxy Nexus, Morfic has a toolkit for his Trinity kernel that allows disabling of the heat protection just so you're able to get a full Antutu (or quadrant) score without the heat sensor kicking in and throttling your phone.

Hi Roman,
Thanks for putting this kernel together, appreciate it. Can i ask your SetCpu settings if you even use it?

Use Nstools its a much better app.
The effort is appreciated can't wait till we get some unicorn power bro! Glad you got this phone.
Any chance of UV the lower frequencies to help save some battery while on standby?

I believe you can run "stop thermald" but I'm not positive.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
to be honest. this thing already is PLEANTY fast. i dont see a need to over clock. if anything we should try for some undervolting and battery life saves. we all love high quadrant scores for bragging rights, but when it all comes down to it. we all just want a better preforming device. quadrant scores arnt everything.
Hey Everyone,
Been messing with my kindle since I got it at release, but more or less put it down due to time/new phone (HTC One X whutup).
I know before I put it down, I was having a lot of trouble with the new ICS roms and battery life. Has Hashcodes kernal / the roms that are around now gotten to be more gingerbread-like with their battery life?
I know on stock, and with a little bit of tweaking on one of the GB roms, the battery would easily go a week while just reading. I'm just looking to go for a day in general =P
Looks like this rom may be more for you

Thanks a bunch for the suggestion =) I just flashed Jandycane to test it out.
I've started this thread just to know the best governor and I/O scheduler combination. Post the combination which you think is THE BEST!
I use Deadline and Smartmax. Sometimes Smartassv2 or Ondemand as well.
This doesn't belong here.

and on to on topic, i use smartmax with Noop schedular
Noop is said to use less cpu cycles so its KIND Of a battery savin schedular
Smartmax + Deadline...
I use smartmax and bfq while charging @1.7 GHz
And smartmax and noop on battery @1.5 GHz .

smartmaxx and bfq on shpongle, no mods and no apps running in the background like facebook and my device feels like a nexus :good:
Anyone with knowledge of any of the settings on kernels and what they do our mean I would love some help so I can further understand what to tweak and what the limitations are. I bought faux clock, probably shouldn't have since I'm cluelessv to what I should change because I get reboots undervolting too much or over clocking. Mpdecision I have no clue about. Noop/row/zen ect ect no clue. Thanks anyone. I'm on bioshock 2.0 and want to try and max my battery life.

I've found that undervolting by more than 50mV doesn't agree with my phone. At -50mV I do notice that my phone runs cooler, haven't done enough tests to see the difference in battery life though.
Also trying to set up a performance setting or wondering if that would even help with the streaming of movies to my ps3 through dlna file sharing. Thought overclocking would help. No use vi just can't figure it out. Any ideas on that issue?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
I can't think if any reason for using the performance governor. That causes your cpu to run at max frequency all the time and would be terrible for your battery. Would also cause your phone to get verrrry hot. For things that require good performance you're best off using on demand. Overclocking could help i guess but I've never had the need to overclock... Then again I've never done what you're trying to do. Can't even imagine the need to overclock a quad core phone clocked at 1.9GHz
