I was hoping to get some input from all of you on what your preferred setup for overclocking/undervolting the One V are. I've been playing with custom roms since I got my device but really haven't put much time into finding the best settings to combine performance/battery life. Running the plain CM10 rom I dont find performance to be an issue but I'd love to know how much I can undervolt the device at different cpu ranges without hitting any huge instability issues (and overclocking isn't ruled out if I ever feel like pumping even more performance out of it)
Thanks in advance
There is.a.thread asked about this use search button
Sent from my One V
Sorry about that, I assumed it might be a topic that's been covered but when I search all I found was how-to's and not necessarily the actual values used. Excluding topics for other devices but I assume hardware differences would lead to different values being better/worse.
Search in the KISS kernel thread

I'm pretty sure that this question has been posted alot of times but I need help deciding on a decent rom and a kernal which would go with it that has everything working and has the best battery life as well. I will probably get CM7 but idk which kernal will go best with it.
I also need help changing the LCD density of my screen. Before I switched to my EVO I owned a HTC HD2 and had pongsters hyperdroid on it which had lower LCD density allowing everything to be smaller on the phone.
Those are my questions please help. Thank you!

Not exactly sure what you mean by LCD density but I can help with the ROM kernel question.
As far as a ROM goes the best way to find the right one is to do 2 things.
1. Make a list of things you are looking for in a ROM. Stability, 4G, HDMI, Wireless Tether, etc. Then check out ROMs that contain stable versions with those features you emphasize.
2. Get flash happy. Flash a ROM, test it for a few days to a week and then flash another one. If you find yourself coming back to one specific ROM over and over again then that is probably the one you should stick with.
Check out this thread for some ROM ideas: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951057
A few ROMs that I didn't see mentioned in there are Myn's Synergy, Salvage-Mod, Sinister, Savaged Zen, and Swag.
As far as kernels go you have to remember a basic rule. Sense ROMs get paired with sense kernels and AOSP ROMs get paired with AOSP kernels. Then you do the same thing you did with the ROMs.
1. Make a list of what you want in a kernel. HAVS, SBC, overclocking, undervolting, etc.
2. Get flash happy and test which kernel matches your ROM the best with what you are looking for.
I know that may not be the exact answer you are looking for. But ROMs and kernels are all about personal preference and daily usage trends. each one has pros and cons that different people may or may not like. Check my ROM/kernel combination. It fits my usage habits, constantly using it at home and barely use it when out of the house, but it may not fit the way you use it. Experiment and have fun.
And here is a thread about kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894880
Quite personally, I would suggest MIUI. If you're not into that kind of thing, I would suggest Deck's, who updated to stable yesterday!
Kernel, I would say Tiamat 4.0.8.
Look up Vipermod. Check my signature. Most phones can at least handle a -50 undervolt for the Tiamat mentioned above.
I would suggest the flashable GPS fix in my signature. Locks on quite accurately.
You may have a lot of cell standby drain. Check development section for a thread about Radio wakelock combination.
Best way to change the density would be to edit the build.prop but there are apps in the Market. Just search density changer

Then you will be able to find out what you like.
AOSP is always a winner for me.
Oh, and make sure you Nandroid.
I agree with both posts above, you have to try out roms for yourself since in every rom post you will see someone saying this is the best rom they have ever hadand battery life is super. Your question has been asked a million times before but like that millions of answers that were given it all boils down to personal choice.
I run AOSP with an sbc kernel but Lord knows you may find people here who would dispute the use of an sbc kernel. LCD Density apps are in the market or just use google for help. Sorry this is not a definitive answer but honestly just find a rom you like and give it a shot....
Thanks for all your answers time to get flash happy!

For me the best combo of performance and battery life has been SavagedZen and CM7. Completely transformed my perception of just well the evo should perform. Basically no compromises, Fast AND great battery life.
I'm using MikG 2.56 ROM with Aggressive Freedom kernel. Holding up pretty good.
For me the best combo is Decks Rom 1.3 + SavagedZen Kernel + Vipermod
I can get about 16 hours on MikG 2.56 (stock kernel) with moderate use. Damn near perfect ROM.

Which version of CM7 are you running? I'm on the 219 nightly and it kind of meh. I've tried savaged Zen with CM7.1 and it was good but my battery didn't seem to last as long during use so I decided to move on to other kernels. Are you running any supplementary battery apps?
First off, thank you to everyone who contributes to this community! I have been on here for some time now and the help/information available in these forums is amazing!
I hope that I am not being a noob by starting this thread and apologize ahead of time if I am incorrectly posting this. As I do not have very many posts under my belt I am unable to post to the development thread nor does it seem according to the forum rules that I should be posting questions like this there anyway. The last thing I want to do is upset anyone in this fabulous community.
Now down to business!
I am running the "gingerbread-evo-deck [1.3][2.3.7 Stable]" and just have a couple questions concerning my final setup to maximize battery life. I am in love with this ROM and all things deck but do have a couple concerns. Battery life is fantastic for me while phone is not in use but the battery does seem to drain quickly while actually using it. I am currently using Tiamat_Evo-v4.0.6-sbc kernel and have been running it for about a week now.
Q1: Should I be using Tiamat_Evo-v3.3.7-sbc Kernel(or "Lee" as I believe it is commonly referred to)? And, does this kernel offer full support for wimax and hdmi? From what I gather this seems to be the preferred kernel for AOSP ROMs.
Q2: What is proxsensorfix.zip? I saw this as an attachment in the development thread. Is this the fix for the Android System spike in battery stats? Will this improve battery life, and is it compatible with this ROM? Are there any negatives to applying this fix?
Q3: I think I have seen it mentioned that by downgrading the radio from the most recent release that battery life can be improved. Can anybody confirm this? What are thoughts on this?
Thank you in advance for any info that can be given on these subjects!

Q1: 3.3.7 SBC or 4.0.8 SBC kernels have worked great for me on Deck GB 1.3.
Q2: Not sure about proxsensorfix.zip, but the phone.apk w/o proximity is what I use, as I've heard the proximity sensor does use more CPU, which drains battery faster.
Q3: I'm using the latest radio and WiMax, and experience no problems whatsoever.
IMHO, Deck's 1.3 is the best ROM out there hands down. I've been using his AOSP ROMs from the start and have not been disappointed. PM me if you have any questions......
Have you considered using vipermod to undervolt? it will save you more battery

Thanks for the suggestion. I have not done any undervolting yet but was thinking about looking into it.
Okay, I'm pretty settled in on the Lee kernel now and have undervolted 50mv. Things are running pretty smooth.
Another question tho! Is the V6 Supercharger suppose to help with battery life at all? This is not entirely clear to me. And if not, I don't see much need for it as my phone seems to run just fine without it.
Also... android system spike in the battery stats, seemingly after a phone call. Is there a fix for that? This also is unclear.

Hi, my name is Dylan and im a noob. I searched the forums and couldn't find my answer if its out there could someone please link it, but if its not here goes..
Let me start off saying I'm fascinated by phone rooting and all the things that are possible and I'm so thankful for these forums so shout out to all the devs. My amazing girlfriend bought me my first smartphone for Christmas (dinc) and I'm amazed by it. Thanks to these forums I've successfully downgraded from 2.3.4 to 2.2 and rooted it. I'm obsessed with flashing roms now, but kushdecks ics has me I love the look, but sorry for the irrelevant info to my question. I'm using incredikernel ics idk the version its the latest one and I enabled zram overclocked to the Max setting and set to smartassv2. Now I was wondering is there any way to tweak it a little more to speed it up and get more out of the battery? I have the 2150 battery but it still drains it like a mug. And also my phone sometimes just freezes and I need to pop the battery out because it just totally lags out. Any fix to that as well? I already followed the setting guide with the wifi, sync, location etc. Thanks.

Well if you've been through the dislplay setting and cut the diplay to 15 % brightness sound like you've done that part well.
CPU settings, i prefer intellidemand but whatever floats your boat.
If you are determined to stick to ICS I suggest swithcing to Evervolv preview 7, its a bit farther along than ics inc deck in development.
If battery life is your top prority, I suggest switching to one of the AOSP gingerbread roms like CM7, Inc-Deck, or OMGB/OMFGB. they run great and no programs really hog battery.
Use adrenaline mod v13, since i began using it I've gotten better life. It can be found in POQbum's post at the top of the dev forum.
Finally, monitor your usage. Playing with your phone can be addictive, just remember that the display is usually the culprit behind poor battery life.
Good Luck!

I might be wrong about this but I believe by overclocking you mean increase the CPU speed which in return will usually equate to lower battery life. That ROM is also still in alpha stage. Some roms with good battery life are miui,not the ics version, and some have great luck with CM7.
If you're desiring battery life, go to the cm7 nightly thread and use one of the kangs. Ics isn't ready for daily use quite yet
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
Hello fellow XDA brethren!
I am reaching out to whomever may be able to give me an "advanced" type of explanation in regards to
modified kernels being applied to my phone.
T-Mobile Galaxy SIII (32Gb White)
I seem to be having issues with many of the kernels offered by some of the excellent developers in the t999 forum.
Namely, ktoonsez, and the other famous dev who's name escapes me right now.
When I flash kernels like those above, my main symptoms are:
Artifacting / Glitchyness in GUI.
Now... I know that some kernels are geared towards battery life and are undervolted to a point, I've tried everything,
volting back up. I've been flashing every one of them properly as well. I know that people say "all phones aren't created
equal", but i refuse to believe that mine is so whack that I cant even use anything other than stock kernels.
I firmly believe that these symptoms are from GPU overclocks that my phone simply cannot handle, (explains artifacts?).
I can use different roms with their respective kernels such as CM10, and a few of the other popular TW roms that are offered.
Here's what I was wondering:
Is there any application that I can use to control GPU overclock (to see if tweaking with this fixes it, to narrow it down
that my phones GPU is just very sensitive)
Are there any kernels out there for touchwiz that give me some nice benefits that dont have any GPU overclock?
What other methods can I fool around with to see exactly what part of my phone is weak?
Any suggestions are appreciated!
I get LOUSY batterylife / performance on tmo stock kernel.
If it were a PC, the first thing I would suspect of causing the artifacting issue is bad video memory. Combine that with the poor performance on stock, it stands to reason that you may have gotten a bad phone from the factory. I would suggest that you consider simply having it replaced under warranty, if you do have bad RAM in the phone the problems will only get worse.
Thoughts?

My thought would be that you should move this thread to Q/A thread.
This thread is for development
No idea about the kernel as I don't use oos4
Blu_spark or ElementalX

Kernels are development - this is where users come to get them, and seeing 5-6 different ones doesn't offer a comprehensive comparison, so this thread would serve as that. You read this, and then pick the kernel - all in one place.. But if mods think it should be moved please move it i don't know how
No such thing as a best kernel since everyone uses their devices differently and has different apps installed. Definitely not the place for this forum.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
Try all of them, there is no such best. I can say there is a minor difference between Franco, Bluspark, Ex kernel etc. They all cherrypick(not sure it this is the right word) each other and make slight modifications and that makes kernels unique, I had a good experience with Xceed, Render and Franco.
EX Kernel For sure
There is no answer to your question. Best kernel for me may be the worst one for you
Personally, I think this isn't even a legit question as there many variables, such as personal likes and dislikes and desired goals. Some people would rather have a kernel for speed, while others may want increased battery life and yet others may want a little of both. I guess the answer is whichever one you like best.
Useless thread...
There is no best kernel.
You chose a kernel which fits best to your needs.
This is just like asking "whats the best color?"
This thread likely needs to be moved to Q&A.
That being said, I myself would really appreciate some input on pros and cons of well known kernels kind elemental X and Franco vs the stock OOS kernel, since performance isn't something that needs improving IMO on this device. What and how other benefit is there?
Like I said it is all subjective, but if you take the time to read, the information is listed by the OP
You could give the moxie kernel by bedalus a try. He implemented a nice feature where you can set a threshold to make your battery charge to a certain percentage. This is because, if you always charge your phone to 100% the battery degrades quicker.

Lol I liked this "what's the best color?"
I think you people should try Ex . Been using Ex for a while and it seems quite stable.
People say Blusparks is good but for me it was never , maybe its just me.
My sig normally is always updated with a setup working fine on a semi business phone. franco.Kernel is rock solid and the BEST SOT!
