Who knows which kernel I can use to undervolt and how do I do that using CM settings? And will this give me better battery life? thanx guys
sent from my mof*ck!n mopho
there is only two so try one for a couple of days to see which one is better for your phone. you need to go through a couple of charge cycles to get a true test.
use myrt from the market to uv.

Im using 1.3 kernel for cm7 and the battery is not i was expecting, uv'd -75 to all... got better battery life with jokers skinnyrev1 rom, still will wait for 2 more cycles to see real stats... any advice for getting a better battery life will be appreciated

I have the 1.3 kernel for Joker on CM7 with it UV'd by 100 and I routinely get 15-20 hours off of the battery with moderate usage no complaints here.
Thanks for the feedback, now testing -100 uv'd, i noticed that 3g-hdspa in GSM kill really faster the battery, anyone noticing that too?

I have the same kernel. Using myrt I ubdervolt everything to -100 but after I apply changes the 1.3 setting goes back up to Max.
Any ideas?

Am using bali now and it gives great battery life, but it is not as smooth as say... overstock. Is there any kernel which gives a balance between the two?
ones gotta give
Not sure what you're seeing but smoothness you're talking about probably has more to do with the rom than the kernel. If you flashed both kernels I'm sure you wouldn't see much difference between the two without the boot screen.

Did you try the overstock UV kernel? You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967861
It is the Overstock 1.5.2 UV download, it is designed to save battery life. You can also try SUPER_DragonMODz ULP, another battery saving kernel, here:

I literally just got onto the bullet kernel from Bi-Winning, and it has the smoothest i've noticed, but its only been a hour or two since i got on this rom with the kernel so... idk i cant say about battery right now.
I have to say, be careful with SUPER_DragonMODz kernel... For me it almost burned up my phone. Phone was just sitting on the table when I sense the burn The phone was hot as hell...
All dragonmodz kernels are great I ulp has amazing battery life, oc and normal both give me great battery life too with no overheat for me, wayyy less then bullet (has much higher voltage settings) just don't use any setcpu profiles (except for 400/100 screen off) and I suggest conservative govener

Bali 1.2
Sent from my SGH-T959
What are you looking for with the kernel
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
^ what he said.
To expand on that, you have two Bali variants to choose from if you're looking for battery life to be better. There is Bali-X 1.2, which is overclockable to 1.2ghz and gives you total control of undervolting (with the use of Voltage Control app). This is more for hands-on use, where you can tinker with different voltages for potentially greater battery life savings with deeper UV action from -25, -50, -75, and so on across all frequencies.
If you just want something simple right out the box that you don't have to tweak anything to, there is Bali 1.8.8UV. This is a kernel (kernel, not kernal, please make note of that for the future ) which is -25 all across the board. This is the "flash it and forget it" kernel if you don't feel like doing any tinkering around and want the benefits of an undervolted kernel and don't really have or feel the need for the 1.2ghz availability.
Link for Bali is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043947
Happy flashing!

Check out an app called Battery Graph which gives you a simple visual of your battery use over time. Also, don't forget to do battery calibration (using a handy app by the same name) to reset your battery stats for a fresh start on the new kernel.

Try project V anf Bali X you'll forget where you left your charger.
Vibrant+MIUI
im gonna rock this rom for awhile.
I've tried most kernels and put them under the same controlled stress tests.
On my phone, Bali 1.2 is the winner.
Allows you to OC/UV whichever way you want. Use Voltage Control or SetCpu to play with the settings.
Immortality is a close second but I'd still go with Bali for a smidge better battery life.

They do. I'm running Bali 1.8.8 and it works but others have better luck running the Overstock kernel. You could also find Jellette's thread and get the s.gps.2.zip file (not in the op but like around pg.20 so u gonna have to look) and flash it then download Samsung gps restore from the market and run that then you should be set.

You loose all blur stuff. If you ran or have used cm7 before, you'll want it again and again. It's snappy and smooth. My stock blur would fc on me but my photon w cm7 has not fc once yet.
For charge times, I was at 27% (after 3 days run time) and I got to 95% in less then an hour and a half.
This week I may flash the beta kernel for cm7 and retest but depends on work schedule. Still trying to get a good calculation of cm7 and battery run time. So far amazing!
Little better after flashing jokers v3 kernel for CM7. loving CM! I think my phone can go faster then I can type with my ugly thumbs.

I have CleanROM DE 1.4 and it's the best battery life I've had, which leads me to believe you should be looking more for a different kernel. I've tried upwards to 10 different ROMs. I'm using the 3.13xx kernel he posted in Post #2 of that ROM thread.
Also, just a note, upgrading the firmware helped tremendously. Not just using the patch, but taking the dive and flashing the RUU. My phone got better with both battery life and heat.

Anyone test out any of the new ROMs on the new base...any help to battery life?
I'm trying to figure it out which ICS rom to flash based on battery life and I've narrowed it down to Mean Rom ICS and Viper Redline ICS, and I was wondering if anyone would mind posting pics of the battery times.
MEAN ICS v2.0
I'm currently running MR ICS 2.0 and I'm getting pretty decent batter life. I'll have a screen shot in the morning as I haven't actually measured so I'll do an overnight test and have the screenshot up in the AM. I haven't tried the ViperROm though.
I use MR also. Pretty decient useage and i get a solid 15 hours out of it. I tried Vipers ICS in the beginning and was getting about the same. Im not sure what he has changed since the first release. I would post a pic but i just switched back to a gingerbread Rom. ICS to me has some bugs and GB i was getting better battery life and faster performance.
Hope this helps

Also, I use gps a lot my phone (Hardware Ver 2) runs a lot cooler with Mean then Viper when using the gps for hours upon hours. I've even used it for a 14 hour singe day drive once the screen was never off (I did use a car charger of course lol)

Or it could be what he has on his Screen. For Example he could have an alternative Launcher with one homescreen and a clock widget. And also i heard that if you use a regular black wallpaper it could save you quite amount of power. So maybe could throw in a Black Wallpaper in there.
