CM6 is definitely great, I think without question it is a vast improvement.
The only issue I have is my battery life is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Could be the worst battery life I've had with any phone. But maybe that's just the EVO, with it's big screen and speedy processor. I underclock to 384 mhz sometimes but then the thing slows down and even freezes. I have 3 different batteries and they all perform about the same (not good.) Before I had a partial wake issue but that's gone, and battery life still stinks. I've also tried calibrating but nothing really seems to make it better.
I hear the snap thing is good for battery life but I everytime I open that thread I get a headache. I love this phone and am obsessed wtih it but that thread is a bit much even for me!
Can anyone give me a quick and dirty explaination of what snap is / how to use snap? Which kernel to flash? Some day I hope to digest that mammoth of a thread, but right now I'm too busy reading texts for college and Just want better battery life.
Thanks!
Download app System Panel. Will help show you what is eating up your battery/resources.
Then, download app Juice Defender. Worth it to get the paid version. Its like 3 bucks IIRC. This will help you get more battery life out of your phone.

Yeah, I tried System Panel but the things eating my battery were mostly system things, like Browser. I guess I could give it another go.
Why are Juice Defender reviews so bad? I've considered it before also, maybe will try playing with it again
snap 8.2 is the current release. you can try any of the kernels, but i would avoid the 7.0/7.1 SD Card implementations since that technology has been put on the back burner for a bit.
Snap allows you to you Overclock and Undervolt (aka: UV).
Overclocking of course is for speed and Undervolting may save battery.
all EVOs are not created equal. some like undervolting some do not. so snap is available in multiple flavors. each with a different UV floor. the lower the floor the more potential battery saving..but also the more chance for a random reboot or wifi/gps acting funny. remember UV retards the amount of power so things can act goofy. the different UV floors are 800mv - 925mv. for example...i use the 8.2_900 because it works well with my EVO. the 8.2_800 booted great but after a while started rebooting itself. 8.2_850 just hung at bootup. the 8.1 kernels didn't work for me at all. 7.3b1 was great.
HAVs is adaptive..so don't get stressed if your device fails to boot properly the first time. wipe the cache/dalvik and try again.
so download a few of the 8.2 kernels.
make your nandroid
begin trial and error (I'd suggest starting at 800, 850 then 900 to get a feel)
don't be afraid to wipe the Cache and Dalvik multiple times.
don't worry about the whole thread. just grab the last few pages and read the OP. then feel free to ask.
i also recommend setCPU. you can find some threads for SetCPU configurations to help. BUT....make sure SetCPU is disabled when flashing the new kernel. once you get a working kernel you can enable SetCPU...but during testing phase it will give you gray hair.

Just a few quick thoughts on voltages/freqs after seeing a handful of discussion in the thread:
1) Every 8.2 kernel has voltages lower than stock. The default stock voltage @ 245 is something around 1050.
2) No real effort is made to UV at the top end. It's a little lower, but the objective at the highest CPU frequency is not to UV. Most of the benefit of UV comes at the low end of the scale when your phone is idle (most of the time). Less voltage = less draw.
3) nHAVS scales voltage at each step. There is a min.max voltage at every cpu frequency. This range is fairly small--50-75mv, but it enables HAVS to decide based on feedback from the CPU which one to apply. And the max at each step is lower than stock. So no matter how you slice it, even if you're running 925, you are undervolted. This becomes a question of how undervolted.
4) OC is not about undervolting, it's about overclocking. The differences is voltage vs. frequency. OC means we're increasing the CPU frequency beyond stock which is 998mhz in the case of Evo. If you move your SetCPU slider beyond 998mhz, you're overclocking.
The objective of overclocking is speed. The objective of undervolting is battery savings. Snap gives you both. We overclock when we increase the fequency with SetCPU. We undervolt automatically via nHAVS. As of this writing, UV is handled in the kernel, it happens most at the bottom end of the frequency scale.
I hope this helps clear up some of the questions. Great conversation by the way.

GREAT EXPLANATION Dragin!!!
and also, to the OP.... dont forget, if you do go with setcpu, do NOT 'set on boot' mmmmkay??? lol
Thank you Dragin!!!
That helps a lot! So once you have Snap setup at what you feel is "good" does your phone seem to perform as well as before you had it undervolted? Man, sounds like a pretty involved process - maybe I better wait until I can really sit down and play with it.

Do you mean for the first flash? Or every time you boot your phone?
If not set on boot, it means you have to start SetCPU manually after each boot. Doesn't seem right

Regarding Juice:
I didn't really read too much into the reviews for this particular app. It works. I was having battery issues. Downloaded Juice, got the settings somewhat right to my liking and so far no complaints. Unplugged my phone from charger this morning at roughly 9am, been using it moderately all day, and as of right now at 12:50am, I am at 29%.
Bad reviews or not, I can attest to it working and making a difference in battery life.

Do you know what in particular Juice is doing to give you better battery life? like what does Turn off certain things based on conditions or?
That is some good battery life.
Correct.
You can set conditions to do certain things. Such as disable data/3g/wifi while screen is off. Also if you need data synced you can set a condition to enable data wifi or 3g for X minutes every X minutes/hours.
I am not affiliated with the dev in anyway but it def made a difference and was worth the price for it.

Meh... see I really don't want to do those things. I can turn off data sync myself and just have gmail forward me a text message when I have an email. I just was hoping there was a way to get decent battery life without going back to the days of Winmo
I absolutely adore CM6, but I'm really starting to think that it is not battery friendly. Last night my battery went from full to 25% in 8 hours. I had nothing running, my partial wake was fine, and Android system took up 60%+. I really don't feel like doing another wipe, but it looks like I may have to. Just want it to work right at this point.
Again, I truly love CM6, the open source concept, the transparency, the whole clean idea of it, but there is something seriously wrong with the battery life (at least in every install I have tried)

i agree with you. but i also feel that CM6 is on par with the Official HTC/Sprint ROM when it comes to battery life expectancy. however, after i put on the snap kernel and copied someones setcpu config....i got 26+hrs of 'use it as i wish' time + still had about an hour of in-pocket time left. i was hooked. i bet you an imaginary dollar the same will happen for you.
as for finding your EVOs kernel made in heaven...
it's not too bad so long as you have some time. but if you are time strapped, need your phone in 20min and don't read the OP... you will curse and swear. expect to get hung up at the HTC splashscreen a few times and it will bootloop on you before your done. <I'd suggest just leaving your battery cover off until you are done muckn about for that session>
klick may be easier for the some end users because of fewer selections. I've never used his kernels. if i try them, i'll prolly wait till he's put out a few AOSP versions...to work out any bugs.
oh yeah...one odd thing, it seems that sometimes folks flash a incompatible kernel it gets 'stuck'. after that 'bad flash' they are unable to flash any kernel until after they have nandroided back and rebooted...then they can flash again. i had this happen twice....i was unable to get a known good kernel to load until after i restored from backup. /shrug
oh....try this. download the snap7.5_925 kernel. if it runs smooth. call it a day and you should be pretty happy with that until the new versions come out. yeah, if you got one of the _800 kernels running you may pull an extra 30-45min of time...but that requires a level of geekdom that not everyone has.

Yeah dragin, don't hog those sweet settings! I'm enjoying Snap 7.6 and it seems to be helping out my battery life a bit, but I'd love to see your SetCPU details.
I've found that the issue for me is bluetooth. If I have it on constantly my battery will drain 10-15% per hour. With bluetooth off it's only draining 1%-2% per hour.
Seems like the bluetooth needs work on CM6 in order to have the efficiency that the other ROMs i've tried (Fresh and EViO) have. Nonetheless, I'm sticking with CM6 and just use the bluetooth when necessary.
I have the same issue with bluetooth on CM 6.0.0. I am running the stock kernel that comes with cyanogenmod, so this is definitely not a snap issue. There was a bug submitted about a month ago:
code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2136
I *really* hope this can get fixed for the 6.1 release, but it is currently listed with a low priority. I really love CM6, but basically making bluetooth unusable for more than a few hours really makes me struggle with the using this rom.
Why not the 7.6 with turbo...just wonderin
I really do not want to flash a new rom/kernal.
Has anyone used SetCPU on their stock kernal? SetCPU now has that perflock disabler that automatically activates on start-up. I was wondering if anyone can post results that they have had with SetCPU and the stock kernal.
Thanks.
doesnt matter it doesnt work on stock kernels from what i know....
as i understand it you still need a oc enabled kernel.
you can underclock i think right.. but not overclock.
again i think.
but i dont oc... havs...undervolting.. it doesnt matter. you just destroy battery life when you oc the phone.

Why don't you just try it yourself? I don't mean for that to sound condescending or anything, I'm just curious why you wouldn't just take 2 mins to try it yourself.

There was a pretty big thread about this on ppcgeeks a while back when the Evo first came out and no custom kernels were around. Back then, it had no impact because the kernel didn't support it like the custom ones do. However, there were some that swore it did (placebo effect).
EDIT: I haven't read the thread with the newer RUU releases, so it might be possible now if HTC built support in the kernel. As mentioned above, give it a try and see how it works for you.

Because by the time I can see results, 24 hours would have already passed and I lose out on my refund if it doesn't work.
But, I am going to give it a try, screw it. I've spend $2 on stupider things. I'll report back after I have had ample time to test it with the Perflock off function.

SetCPU works just fine for setting the CPU on a stock kernel. You just can not overclock. And I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with overclocking. I mean it is 12% or 13% at best which isn't a lot. IMHO. And the drain on already poor battery life isn't worth it. 1Ghz is plenty fast enough. However, underclocking is a great thing.

Then why are you asking with help with overclocking? Your trouble lies in syncs or an errant app. Set your syncs to manual and uninstall any you don't use like Google + or Facebook or stuff like that. Get something like Betterbatterystats to see what might be using your battery. Also get Memory Booster Lite and use the task killer to see what apps are sitting in memory. Also get CPUspy to make sure your phone is going into deep sleep when not in use and not on charge.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Over-clocking will kill your battery faster. I think you meant to ask about undervolting? That could save you battery life. But, before all that, I'd check for errant apps that are running like the previous post suggested. Also, get rid of widgets, etc.
I honestly would not advise overclocking. Everyone has their own opinions of it, and it is ok, that is, if you know what your doing. Sometimes people get the wrong impression that anyone can overclock their phone, which is entirely untrue. Unless you constantly want to worry about tweaking voltages, monitoring temperature, worry about frying your CPU and voiding your warranty, i would just stick with what you have.
There are PLENTY of roms out there that will boost your speed significantly to the point of never needing to overclock, unless your just trying to impress your friends.
I strongly suggest starskyrom, which you can find here.
If your mind is still set on overclocking, go to youtube and search samsung epic overclock. Look specifically for videos made by qbking.
I would use the Samurai kernels, and I would NEVER go beyond 1.2 ghz for everday use. Its ok to bump it up to 1.3+ when your showing off, or need some power for a short period of time.
Good luck, and remember, overclocking has its rewards AND its risks. The question you need to ask yourself is a $500.00 phone worth risking for a barely noticeable amount of performance increase.
I'm sorry for misunderstood the use of O/C & U/V, my phone yesterday leave me without batt. & get tired of it. I've used Odin to go back stock and actually stay that way but find it kinda boring =/...
I will check the Starsky Rom right now, I'll search for more info. about the U/V uses which is the one I'm interested.
Thank you all for having the time & patience to answer, even recommend me some app's & rom's, I'm very thankful to you all =)!

We try to help when we know what you are asking..LOL. A little undervolting may help but mostly see if there is something running that shouldn't.

I've not done the undervolting yet but I'm thinking about it just still reading on what I want to do. I did however do the overclocks for a few days and imo only I really saw no need for it from the stock settings so I just went back to normal. The phone is fast enough for me even playing games that extra 1-2-3-400 mhz really didn't show that much of a difference.
Again this is my opinion others see the need for it I just didn't.

I think viper mad some stuff for the phone. I know he has a rom out for the phone already so maybe his tweaks are there you could always check the dev section.
My phone had freezing issues at anything higher than 1.4ghz, but even then the only real difference I saw was quadrant scores. Games ran the same, in fact I think the UI actually was choppier when OC'ed. Never really looked into it much though.
I don't even know why I tried it in the first place, I never said to myself "gee, this could be faster.." I guess coming from an HTC Hero it was a habit.
this phone does NOT need to be over clocked; it is so much faster than your Evo, that you won't believe it!
Undervolting and under clocking can give you extra battery life; do a search on the Dev thread, and you will learn lots about it..
I know for a fact the phone gets hot when playing some games like Asphalt 7 and that is understandable but it never used to get hot while in regular use such as browsing the web or text messaging on stock and i could have the screen on for an hour. Ever since i installed CM10 and now on AOKP by task650 I have noticed the bottom half of the phone gets very warm even when doing simple things. I have the brightness set to auto at all times and within 15 minutes or so it starts to get hot.
Does this happen to anyone else or its just me? Also maybe there is a tweak for the screen in the ROM?
How long has it been since you installed these AOSP roms. In my experience, it takes one or two days for everything to settle down after installation, during which the phone might overheat and battery life takes a hit. My advice would be to give it some time, but if you're really worried, try fixing permissions or even going back to a touchwiz ROM.

I am having the same problem with CM10. I have tried multiple nightlies with the stock CM10 kernel and my phone just seems to run warmer. I can't figure it out. When I flash back to the stock ROM it doesn't do it unless like you said, I am playing Asphalt or some other games.
Nah not worried because i have extended warranty on my phone. Its just i like my electronics to function the way they should and when they don't i HAVE to fix them or i will loose my mind, plus its kinda annoying when hold it.
I know it needs a few charge cycles and installed CM earlier this week so its been at least 3 days, but still noticed the phone heating up. I installed AOKP today and will try cycling the battery a few times.
Pardon my ignorance but why would fixing permissions have anything to do with this? Also there is no negative effects to doing this? I don't see any as it wil just mark everything rwx-r--r-- or whatever the default is, but just want to confirm.

Fixing permissions tends to remedy certain glitches on my end. I don't nearly have enough knowledge to tell you why though. However, there are certain aspects of this phone that will lead to heat production no matter what you do: lte chip; powerful dual core CPU, etc. Furthermore, aosp ROMs are not stable nor are they fully optimized for the phone at this point, this will also lead to more resources being spent, which ultimately results in faster heat production. If it really bothers you, stick to what works and flash a stock ROM.

You need to flash one of the AOSP JB kernels since you are on CM10. I can't tell you which one because that depends on which nightly you have installed. I guess there was major code changes after the 14th.

Yeah but it never did that with stock and its not a deal breaker i love AOKP no way am i flashing back to touchwiz. You know the ROM has been so stable that I expected everything to work but your right its not stable yet and some things are probably not optimized and that is the cause for the phone to heat up more then usual or kernel. Guess it can't hurt to make a nandroid and then fix permissions and if it goes south i have a backup:victory:

Yeah, to my understanding, chipsets are designed to withstand a heat threshold of about 60 degrees Celsius. It is extremely hard to get it to that temp at stock speeds, so I wouldn't worry too much about something going awry with your phone.

You need to flash one of the AOSP JB kernels since you are on CM10. I can't tell you which one because that depends on which nightly you have installed. I guess there was major code changes after the 14th.

Ok. Thanks. I'll figure it out.
Can a mod please delete this unintended post?

hehe keep me posted. I fixed permissions, we will see how it goes.

I've clean flashed the new nightly and task's kernel. My phone still seems to be running warm! I'll run it for about 24 hours or so and see how it does. IDK what the hell it could be. Is there other people running CM10 that are having this same problem? And by the way...Do you know of a fix for the MMS? My pictures that were taken vertically show up in an MMS horizontally and visa versa. Is there no way to fix that?

It seemed a bit better today, but then i been out all day and its been wet and cold so might not have noticed. Its not Task's kernel but rather Kooz but they do work together. Can you also keep an eye on battery life? his kernel is suppose to have amazing battery life and CM/AOKP for me have very bad battery life. Also make sure to cycle the battery at least 3 time.
NOTE: Battery cycling mean charging it to 100% and letting it die to 0% and repeating, this will calibrate the battery and maybe will help.
Just a recommendation for you to give AOKP a try. I always used CM, but CM had some bugs when i tried so i thought might as well give AOKP a try and its actually been solid and has more features then CM. Best part is the build in LED configuration for apps/notifications.
These devs make it so hard to choose, both are very good ROMS.
Yeah. That's a problem I have too. I can't decide which one I want. The KT 747 kernel has seemed to take care of my heat problems. I was cycling the battery anyways. Where can I get the AOKP ROM? Is it posted under original development? The 747 kernel also gave me some much better benchmark scores!
Edit - I see in ktweaker where you can change some voltages but I have NO clue about any of that! Any advice? I think there is a thread on here somewhere about it. I'll have to find it & read it I guess.

go into the ktweaker voltages then hit menu and you have an option to add or subtract 5-25 mv. Take away a bit and do a stress test if its good then try some more etc etc. You get the picture

Yeah. But the lower I set my voltages, will that affect the speeds that my phone runs at? Idk how to word my question. I guess what I'm saying is, if I lower the voltage on my 1.5GHz setting will it make my benchmark lower?

Pfft! You should know at this point in the game that benchmarks mean nothing, its all about real world performance. Basically I'd just start playing around its the only way to learn what works and what doesn't on your device! Cause afterall every device is different no 2 chips are the same, what works on one device might not work on another

Yeah. I know. I guess I didn't necessarily mean my benchmark. I guess I meant speed.
