So last night I installed the new virtuous Rom and custom kernel from Rom manager bc its supposed to have great battery life, well after a full bump charge overnight my phone is already down 5% in just an hour. Anyone know what might be going on, should I find a new Rom/kernel combo?

Are you sure you bump charged the right way?
Also, try the newest leaked HTC kernel.
For one, I believe the Virtuous posts states that since 3.1 is based off of a newer leak of sense, that the newest v4 stock kernel is recommended as the custom kernel is based off the previous release, so that may have some effect.
Secondly, is that really that bad? That comes out to about 20 hours of battery life, which is more than a lot of people get (with a stock battery at least). Of course, if you haven't been using it at all in that hour I guess that's a different story.

ok thanks for the input i will try the stock kernel, i was just going off what was in rom manager b/c it says custom kernel had tweaks for battery performance. i was also thinking about trying the new redemption rom, have any experience with it ?

The tweaks for battery performance is it has perflock disabled so you can set custom profiles in SetCPU.
I just flashed the updated Miui ROM onto my friends Incredible (I am improving it for him) and was wondering which kernel would work best with it. I have heard that Tiamat is one to consider, but I don't know if it works the best with Miui.
Thanks in advance!!!!!
Tiamat is great, but I've been really happy with the included kernel. YMMV

Oh that's right, there is a kernel included with Miui. lol Forgot about that. Does it install automatically when you install Miui, or is there something separate you have to do? I am a Miui noob and just want to make sure I do everything right. And has it improved battery life? That's why I am asking about the kernels.
Guess I'll keep Tiamat on the back burner for now.
Thanks for the response.

No problem! Yeah, it installs along with MIUI. Give it a few days, I think your friend will like it. I'm running it underclocked to 800MHz on the stock kernel and it's smooth as butter
I flashed chads incredikernal. One thing I don't like about the stock kernel is the charge speed. I am currently at 11 hours 19 minutes with 36% remaining on stock Inc battery. I don't mess with any settings, I let it do it's thing.

Yeah, I have been playing with it for a few hours and I like it (and I hate everything crapple). I may have to try it on my own phone soon. I am sure he'll love it.

Well, if you charge overnight, then that really isn't that big an issue. But I will definitely put that on my list of kernels to try if my friend isn't satisfied with the Miui one.
Thanks!
I've tried Chad's incredikernel and it was awful. Been using Tiamat for the past couple days. I'm gonna be going back to the included stock kernel that came with MIUI tomorrow. I've gotten the best battery life out of that one. I think it'd be worth it to try out each kernel on your own phone for a couple days. Some kernels may work better on certain phones than others.

Interesting. I will definitely try them at one point to see for myself, but it seems that the stock Miui kernel is the way to go. I've been playing with it for 2 days now, and I have seen a noticeable increase in the battery life. I am very pleased.
Thanks for the response.
I always flash Chad's Incredikernal after the MIUI update, but this time I'm test driving the (MIUI) stock kernal to see how battery life really compares after a couple of days. You really can't go wrong either way. But, as posted above, YMMV. Good luck!
Incredikernel #1 with IncrediControl app http://www.incredikernel.com/
I try Tiamat every release but always go back to Incredikernel, Incredikernel is so much smoother. Also better benchmark with all apps and no task kill. Pics for proof!!!!
SetCPU min128/998max @ smartass scaling
Also if you are playing with kernels and want to go back to MIUI stock it is the Official CM7.0 version1. Can be downloaded from kernel manager lite(free) in market. Invisiblek version4 is nice to, its based off CM7.1 version2 with smartass added.
Remember when trying new kernels for best results.. Charge until green, then boot into recovery, then advanced and wipe battery stats, then power off and let charge until green and good to go. This gets the results without waiting 3 or 4 days of charging. Also you wont see the unplug and go from 100% to 83% in 15 minutes.
every phone is different. I have been trying to use incredikernel for months and my phone runs like complete garbage with it. I use tiamat and it blows incredikernel out of the water on my dinc. I have no explanation for this and am hoping one day my phone will accept incredikernel. :-(

Hmm thats weird, reverse your statement and that's me. I tried to contact Tiamat support and they have no support, I emailed them 4 months ago and nothing. Chad only supports the incredible device so I have gotten response back from him in hours.
I have 4 Incredible's all running incredikernel fine. 2 are on MIUI and other 2 are on CM7.1. Three of them are on version 07062011 and I'm running his beta 2

The Miui kernel is working well. I have seen a noticeable increase in battery life, and I've only been using the regular battery, not the extended. I like.

Actually, to recalibrate, this is what I'd recommend.
Charge the phone to 100%
Turn it off. The LED will turn red again, wait for it to turn back to green.
Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.
Reboot, then unplug.

Have a dumb question in which I am sure a lot of threads have been created about it but I cant seem to find one thread that at least displays what works on our T-Mobile variant SGS3.
What I want to know is what themes work, add-ons, tweaks, etc.
Themes: There are a lot to choose from with the "OMG 19 Themes" aroma install but there are a lot more themes that are located in the other SGS3 variant forums. I've managed to get one of the International version "Glass Theme" to work with a few adjustments. Basically it would be nice to see if there was a thread on here to show what themes work and what does not.
Add-ons:Multi-Window, Ink Effect (Multiple Colors), Pop-up Broweser, Volume Rocker Skip track, Back-To-Kill, Multi-Dpi TouchWiz apps, TouchWiz launcher features, etc...
A lot of these add-ons can be found in some of the TWRoms available but wouldnt it be nice to have a thread that gives us the freedom to have these be installed on any TWRoms?
Dumb thread I am sure but I am bored at work so....
Personally I like aosp roms such as cyanogemmod 10.1 over the touchwiz stuff, i just can't stand using the default stock sg3 rom, it's just annoying in a lot of ways. if you were to switch over to aosp i would give you suggestions on tweaks etc, i get blazing fast speeds of data at 8mb/s i get like amazing battery life, my battery usually lasts 2 days no charge before reaching 14% so I don't think touchwiz has all those features but hey I could give you one kernel that i recomend for you that also works on touchwiz, It's the kt747 kernel.
Here is link for that amazing powerful and battery saving kernel. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871946
make sure you download either touchwiz version or aosp kernel version because flashing aosp kt747 kernel on touchwiz rom will put u in a bootloop.
good luck

If you have any other AOSP (particularly cm10.1) tweaks mods or addons you would suggest I would love to hear what you are using....

Rawdaddy,
One good app i can suggest you find on the play store is the air push detector because that app will save you from malware bastards who make bad software that pushes spam notifications to your phone that drain your battery. air Push detector is like your antivirus or firewall or the malwarebytes of the phone world. it will knwo all malicious apps after it scans them.
i also use the room toolbox lite which allows you to get tweaks mods etc and even edit buildprops but i'd be careful when editing build props or using roomtoolbox make sure you backup your current rom so if u mess up any settings then you can always go back. One of the most important things I can suggest when it comes to watching downloaded movies on your big gs3 screen phone is to use BS PLAYER, u can get it from the android app store.
I've tested every movie player out there and the only one that is perfect and can run every video well without errors is the bsplayer, if u notice mobo player u might not hear sound but see video and mxplayer vice fersa yet bsplayer can play all hd 720p movies very well. I'm an online movie downloader from scene sites.
another suggestion i recomend is to stay away from MIUI roms and also Jovy's roms such as his xperia, it usually takes Jovy about 5 release updates to get things right, i've tried his roms and data doesn't work right and after im done talking to a person the proximity sensor gets screen stuck on black.
MIUI is just complete junk, i'm a crack flasher flashaholic and I know definately that stuff need serious work for people to even consider seriously, they want to imitate the ios look but the whole things is unstable and battery life sucks.
Use Liquidsmooth Rom if you want super stabiltity.
I'm enjoying the cm10.1 and facebook is working on it just fine.
I also dont' recomend installing themes on any cm10 build, battery life will die.
For battery tips I would recomend you clear battery stats before flashing a new rom and drain your battery all the way, let it fully die then plug it in without unpluging at all until it finishes charging and you should notice great improvement.
Also don't keep battery plugged in yor charger overnight after it's fully charged because i heard that puts excess electricity in your battery and phone causing issues and your battery life won't be prolonged.
Well to be honest ive pretty much tried every rom that there is available for us to use. Ive even tried AT&T roms. From stock ics touchwiz to jb touchwiz. Ive tried most if not all aosp roms aokp roms cm roms paranoid roms pacman roms and I'm still not able to stick with one rom.
Most if not all Aosp based roms suffer from screen flickering and the wake up black screen of death. Some roms have features I like while the others have better visual settings.
I recently just went back to TW roms. Thata why I want to know what I can do to improve my experience with these roms.

Umm. There is some questionable advice in this post. Clearing battery stats? Not sure the poster understands what that does based on his other misinformation. You can leave the phone on the charger overnight without any issues. The phone recognizes the full charge and allows it to run down a bit before charging again. In the morning when you pull it off the charger it may appear to discharge fast but that is because it was not a full charge. That is not an issue. Running the battery dry is also bad info. It can damage the cells in the battery. Don't trust me. Do a little research and see if you come to a different conclusion.

Ugh I am fed up with 4.2 at the moment (Data Speeds hang sometimes). Going to try another TW Rom. AeonFluxxV5 seems legit. Any one with any themes they would like to share???
Hello, this is my first post but I have read this site for many years. If this post goes in a different section please move it, Im sorry. So a little backround first. My phone is currently running 4.2.1 with the JellyBam Rom. I rooted my phone basically the very first day I got it and the battery has been terrible. I get about 12 hours if I am lucky and thats with only an hour or an hour and a half of screen time. I have done all the basic tricks with screen brightness and sync is off and still no improvement. I have been on numerous roms and it has always been bad. So I have been reading that the kernel can affect battery life but to be honest this whole kernel thing confuses me. All i know is that I can not be on a JB kernel because i am on 4.2.1.
This is what my phone says now:
Android Version : 4.2.1
Baseband: S710.10 S.FI27
Kernel Version [email protected]#7
JellyBam Version jellybam-4.2.1_d710_v5.3.0-STABLE_20130207
Build Number d710-userdebug 4.2.1 JOP40D
eng.ken.20130207.010412 test-
I also have CWM recovery if this means anything regarding kernels. and would like to stay with it if I can
So my question is if I want to try a different kenel which should i try? And do you think it would help with battery? And how do I change it, is there a good video showing the steps? Is it flashed like a ROM?
Please help THANK YOU!!!!
Welcome, without JB kernel source yet we have to use what our devs made to work. The simple answer is that the kernel you have is your only option at the moment.
I have never tried that rom but battery life on AOSP roms is less than normal. Its a trade off of having the latest and greatest.

That's about normal for any phone with a removable battery... Buy another one and an external charger and take advantage of the fact that you have a removable battery, if you carry a fully charged backup you're good for the day no matter what, even with heavy use... I don't know why nobody else does this. I used to have three for my Shift. I wanna know what phone you guys are coming from that that is bad battery life, especially with a screen this big... I swear about a quarter of the posts on this forum are about battery life, it's kinda ridiculous.

Wont work with a GB or ICS kernel. Yeah that battery life sounds about right, price you pay for the latest and greatest. As mentioned grab an external charger and spare batteries. I keep a spare with me and just swap and go worry free. I got some EzoPower brand batteries on Amazon a few weeks ago and so far so good. Paid under $15 for 3 batteries and charger.
Several weeks ago I switched to GA10 and my battery life is great. That is another option if you have not tried it yet its not bad.

Ok so i guess for right now if I stick with JellyBam Rom I can not use it. It states specifically not to use a JB kernel. Does anyone know if using a battery from the original galaxy in the S2 is ok? it does fit.
PS. I have been messing around with underclocking and voltage and I have seen some great improvements in battery. I clocked the CPU down to MAX 800 and MIN 200 for during the day and from 3am-8am I brought it down even more to MAX 500 MIN 200 and as of right now i have 41% battery left and i have 13 hours and 44 minutes with a screen time of 1 hour.
Can underclocking it that much hurt the CPU/phone?
Part of your problem is the build your on, 4.2.1 is an unofficial build, so you're dealing with a buggy system, if your battery is old and worn your going to have all kinds of issues.
The original S battery has less miliamps than the epic touch battery, 1600 mha vs 1800 mha, it's like using a partially charged battery. You need a new battery.
Under clocking and voltage is the wrong way to go, if you need to run at those numbers you may as well just get a flip phone because that's how retarded your epic will be trying to run it this way.
I suggest a new battery and some stock/rooted Jb. I'm on stock/rooted Ga10, no mods no tweaks and regularly get 16 to 20+ hrs in between chargings . And everything works.

I have to say running my epic at max 800 CPU I see no real noticeable difference in performance. almost none at all.
Can you please tell me how I would go about getting on stock rooted JB with GA10. Is there a post I can read or can u explain? and remember I am a noob.

Someguyatx has the link you need its simple to use, make copies of your internal/external sd's on you're pc and use the "rooted restore" option. Do not use "keep your data" option, you could have a problem migrate to the new Rom by keeping your data. Its better if you start fresh from scratch.

Well while the ball is rolling midas well ask. Basically back up anything you don't want to lose. Have Samsung drivers installed.. Download the stock rooted 1 click he posted. Open one click. Put phone in download mode/odin mode, get com port and hit start. It puts phone in new state which is good. The other way is to download sextapes stock tar and odin 1.85 or 3.04. Flash stock by the same way but checking PDA and finding the file.
Ga10 is 4.1.2. It is a Samsung built rom. So it is 110% built for this device. I know many steer away from stock roms. I used to be that way, but ga10 is slick!. Its fast, smooth, no lag, gps reliable, data speeds (for me) kick ass. Battery life is bad a** too. I put in fresh battery in before bed last night and when I picked up phone 8 hours later it still said 100% Flash it and you will be a happy camper I guarantee it. The screenshot i have below is after hours of Tiger woods 2012, web browsing. gps ect. HEAVY use. Still has 34% I still be using this charge well into tomorrow. (extended battery). Still stock battery gets 3+ hours screen time-extended gets me 7+. Good rom. Thanks sxtp

You guys are the best...kicking myself for taking this long to get involved on this site. you guys/gals are very helpful....i understand your directions the pasrt that was confusing me was this:
Mac/Linux - Install 7-zip, then use it to unpack the individual ODIN components in Reference Section B (below). If Heimdall fails flashing all 3 files together, try doing them individually. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows specific (steps 3, 4, 6).
Android - Install ZArchiver, then use it to unpack the ODIN OneClick 7zip self-extractor file in this section (long press *-oc-sfx.exe, Open as archive, Odin-OC, select *-OneClick.exe, Extract). Use Mobile ODIN to Open File the resulting *-OneClick.exe file. Mobile ODIN issue - modem might not flash consistently. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows ODIN specific (steps 3, 4, 5, 6).
But i guess if i am using Windows and the One Click this does not pertain to me. Am i correct?
PS The only thing i think i will miss from 4.2.1 is the lockscreen widgets, i kinda liked how you could have a widget per page. And if i go to GA10 and say I want to go back to a custom ROM do i just flash it as normal? Will I still have CWM recovery?
One click on the pc is as simple as it gets. Linux, Mac, hiemdall none of this applies to you right now.
To go to a custom Rom you can follow a guide in development, there are several, for now it involves going back to Gb with a safe recovery.
Once you run this your not going to miss the custom roms with all the bugs they have. On this lock screen you can have up to 4 short cuts, just like having widgets without bugs.
Enjoy.

That does absolutely nothing.
"Calibrating the battery" not only is it useless its been debunked by Google
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443108
Any "battery calibration" methods or mods even apps are useless and do nothing at all.
To OP
Are you using the original cable?
I've read that some cables charge real slow for some reason while stock cable charges fast.

I agree with you about the stock cable as well.. Some cheaper after market ones don't play well with our phones. Also make sure you use the plug in charger and not a computer to charge your phone, it takes longer to charge via the usb port on your computer.

that happened to me but i learned that the transition effect from stock or a different custom Roms has effects on how long your phone goes back to normal as in charging fast or how it used to be
so wait and let the phone do its work am sure yu'll be fine after a while devices/machines needs break or need to adapt to a new different ROMS/FIRMWARE or like migrating from XP/VISTA to windows 7/8 yu just dont expect machines (windows, linux, MACs) and Devices(android, Windows Phone, Ubuntu, IOS, Mobile) to work flowless from an upgrade or a big change in OS
go out, get some from a party ........ todays world with computers/smartphone cant let you take a breathe always on the screen
although i love using my smartphone/laptop i still travel, go to clubs, have fun with friends, do all the crazy sht a 20-30 year old can do
life is too short :silly:

Wiping the stats and the battery.bin files is as useless as using a task manager.
System is going to write it again as soon as the system boots lol.
Yeah break in the ROM. Charging might speed up. In know in TouchWiz ROMs it takes forever but on AOSP it shouldn't. Battery also improves after a few cycles.
