I am currently running bionix 1.3.1 with kernel 2.6.32.9 (red edition theme too) and killed my battery in half a day. I have set cpu app and was wondering if anyone can help me tweak things a little to get better battery usage?

Hmmm, The Axura, EDT and Trigger roms have excellent battery. Are you overclocking ? 'cause if you are that will burn up battery and there is no fix or adjust for that, other than just running @ normal speed. Read the Bible for fixes and adjustments for the battery
If you're gonna burn battery that fast you might as well flash Gingerbread which is better.
I was actually looking for a gingerbread rom to flash but couldn't find one. I don't really want to use this much battery so fast but think its the team whiskey dragon rom edition kernel that I think is the problem.. it allows me to overclock which of course kills my battery. I was just looking for some tips to conserve battery. I set my setcpu settings to conservative and am going to see what it does. Should of stuck with my nexus-s or even nexus-1 but got two free phones and a fly rod out of deal than just a phone lol...

Which is the best kernel developed so far,or at least the most stable?

Stock

Depends on what features you want. Totally Worthless T2 is the best kernel for my needs.
Depends what your looking for. I'm running Dow 14 HD and its awesome. OC to 1.4 ( without a problem) , voodoo color and sound. BLN.

Imm Runiinq Dhee samee...I Set Cpu To 1.4 too Andd It works perfect
s0niqu3s, its almost all stock so stable and good battery..
but, it adds voodoo (EXT4) and voodoo sound (get the app in the market) and you will be blown away at how better video/music sound on the Vibrant.
I really do not think any kernel could be better right now. OC'ing is (a) a drain on battery and (b) not worth it in my opinion, my phone is plenty snappy
Well, am using the dragon v5 with no problem, yet with some bugs and checking constantly on the forums, all I see on the post is the same issues on every other kernel posts: battery, lag, wake of death, headphone, mic failure , tests , etc , but if you all read the threads its all the same, great job from all devellopers here, but I guess what makes a rom or kernel useless is how some users flash, and complain on these forums , is there a better rom out there than bionix, for our vibrants?

What about the best kernel for Bionic-v 1.3.1? I really want to enhance the Sound and the video to my vibrant. I dont care for battery waste as I have like 5 extras and 3 of them are 3500mhz.
All I need is a great Customized Kernel that will make my phone much faster and enhance at top.
I installed the Tigers Blood Kernel and love it but is giving me bugs like I cant install or un-installed apps and SD card bugs to connect to PC
Any suggestions will be great
whats better ford, dodge, chevy? different strokes for different folks.test them out and see what you like the best. keep a note of battery life and data speeds. stuff like that. or im wrong and have no clue what i'm spewing out. ladder more true then the former.
Recently, many kernels released for vibrant. Find best suit for yr ROM. Right now i use Dead Horse Kernel ULF OC_UV for Bionix-v 1.3.1. Smooth, fast, no problem, Quad +/- 2200 and battery more than 2d at normal daily.

Try the Overstock kernel if you havent already. OCs to 1.2 and has Voodoo... You could add darkys tweak as well as the fugu tweak too if you want to kick it up another notch.
Vibrant, Bionix-v 1.3.1, Overstock 2.2 Voodoo...
I am currently running on JT's cyanogen mod and EC01 radio and Imnuts -100 kernel.. My battery life is Horrible. Anyway I can improve battery life? And I cannot do it from terminal because I don't have anything in my data folder.
Calibrate your battery, turn down screen brightness, CAREFULLY configure Autokiller, use SetCPU on conservative, try a different launcher (i.e. Launcher Pro or Helix Launcher), don't use live wallpapers... just a few of many things.

My battery was amazing when i was on jt's aosp, i dont know why you wouldnt have good battery life on cm6...
You could try juicedefender. It works really well for me.
Right now, I am using Project V on Overstock Kernel, but I feel like it iis lacking a bit in the realm of customization. However, the speed and battery life is incredible. I need suggestions for a ROM that has decent battery life, good performance, good looks, and a decent amount of customization.

Axura is pretty good on all your needs and its pretty snappy too.
They have themes for it too and plenty of them. The battery life is very good too.
u can try toxic muzic ..is fast,stable..and many option with the theme..
Use a gingerbread ROM!
Only thin that gets me is the fact that Sims 3 and NOVA don't work.

Hey i agree toxic roms are great.

I've tried trigger 3.2, trigger 3.3b2 and now I just flashed Project V.
Performance wise, I think trigger 3.3b2 with bullet kernel @1.42 was the best for me.
However, I'm still playing around with Project V with Bali 1.2 and so far, it's really good.
I do have some issues with wifi that I never experienced with trigger though.
What are you looking for in terms of customization? Because honestly, Project-V has got to be one of the most customizable ROMs available.
My best battery life came from trigger on overstock kernel. But gingerbread is just so awesome i dont think i can go back.

Try them all. No harm is done if you just want to flash away just make sure you follow the correct steps before switching to a different rom.

I use Simply Honey 3.9.1. So far very happy with it.
I have tried many roms and Project 5 is definitely the best Froyo rom. I have since moved to Miui. If you don't mind having no GPS, Wi-Fi calling and a little less battery life, then this is the best looking and feature rich rom available. Give it a shot.
In my opinion, Bionix v1.3.1 (most current Bionix), is hands down the best Gingerbread rom. I've tried a bunch of other roms, but I always go back to Bionix.
It may seem kinda jumpy at first, but just give it a day for everything to sink it. It's great.
Bionix isn't gingy.
I'm Running simply honey 3.9.1 with cmenards 1.42ghz bullet kernel.... posted some pics below... its the fastest, smoothest rom I've ever had. if you decide to up to gingerbread roms.... beware.... flashing bootloaders for them is scary unless you have a jig aka "download dongle". I built mine at radioshack for $1.19, some scotch tape, and an old car charger. more info on this if you sift through the stickies a bit. If you use the 1.42ghz kernel instead of the 1.2 the rom comes with, you can have access to the "smartass" governor (obviously SETCPU is necessary for these kernels)...... great for battery and awesome for raw speed
simply honey 3.9.1 for sure, a little bit trickier to flash then froyo roms but well worth it. and installing the bootloader is actually a lot easier now just make sure to follow instructions step by step
Ever think about a theme? The trigger theme for project v looks pretty damn good.
Vibrant
Rom: Project-V
Kernel: Bali X 1.2
Love it.
Hey guys, i was just wondering what apps you guys use that actually work to improve performance of the phone in battery and speed?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Check out this guide made by Woodrube. The third post has a list of apps designed to prolong battery life. My favorite is Juice Defender. It's worked wonders for my phones battery. The guide also discusses other methods of increasing battery like undervolting [must be rooted to undervolt] (post 2) and other misc. things (post 1). I suggest you take a look at it.
As for increasing speed performance that's what overclocking is for. You must be rooted to do this and have flashed a custom kernel. Then you have to have installed an app like SetCPU. Just keep in mind that overclocking drains battery. Overclocking to 1.2Ghz shouldn't hurt the battery too bad and have increased performance, but it will drain faster then not overclocking at all. Underclocking is good to prolong battery life, but will reduce performance.
Hope you are able to get the most out of you battery
Thanks for the plug N00B.
Also if you are on Stock Kernel, you can use Tegrak's Overclock and overclock your stock kernel. It will work on 2.2 stock based ROMs. That in conjunction with SetCPU you can overclock your stock ROM easy-peezy. It also has a 5min compatability time to see of your settings will work or freeze/restart. There is a paid version too with more functionality and "set on boot".
You should definitely consider downloading "Watchdog Task Manager" from the Market, as it monitors what is using your CPU and how much, so you can keep power hungry apps under control. Its a "real" task manager, as it doesn't close apps based on the RAM that they use, which is what the Android OS already does.
As for OC, I use Antutu CPU Master, and keep it at 100-1000/1200mHz while in use, and 100-800mHz if I'm not. Hope this helps.
Im on stock 2.2 with bail uv and its great i get scores between 1700-1800 abd battery is awesome and im using auto minfree im just looking for an edge. What do you guys think of minfree apps?

Since I got this phone in may last year, I haven't had horrible battery life, but it wasn't good either.
So, I rooted my phone and put off getting a ROM until I started having the dreaded reboot issue. I was on stock froyo of all things.
Now, I'm on skyraider. But my battery life is worse...much worse. I'm having trouble understanding why. I have less programs running in the background than ever. I think this thing underclocks too, right? In the skyraider settings it has a min and max setting. The max is 1ghz and the min is like 300 ish mhz.
The only other thing I can think to mention is my radio. I was apparantly on a radio that works with both froyo and gingerbread. I was consufed by how I flashed a GB rom from froyo and I still had a connection and all that. But anyway, perhaps this radio is inefficent?
Maybe there's some other idiot check thing I've missed. I always turn off features that I'm not using like gps and the like. I also use minimal brightness and don't run any live wallpapers. I'm using stock wall papers and skins.
I have not yet done a battery calibration. I plan to when I get some time...but does it *really* make a difference of hours to my battery's lifespan?
Man, I need a rezound battery...
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt
Do the calibration. Sometimes you have o do it between Rom flashes but its worth it.

Lessen the number and frequency of apps that update (sync) in the background: email, fb, weather, etc. And, trying using the wifi when stationery, lower screen brightness.

Skyraider is very stock-like, no performance kernel included (uses stock HTC), etc, etc so it should get equal battery life as stock does. The benefit of SR is the "LTE Auto On/Off" option it has. That can make a HUGE difference ! Be sure to enable it - it's not enabled by default.
Try the IMO 5.1 kernel
