I have a rooted epic 4g running cm9 and the shadow kernel. Can anybody recommend some good uv kernels to try out. My battery life isn't too bad but wanna see what else is out there. Pm me or reply.
Thnx!

undervolting?
ive got the cpu high and low setting where i like them but can somebody explain the undervolting side? Ive dl setcpu but again just the cpu no battery settings.

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

Oops double post
bullet just overclock it and it runs smooth i used to have great battery life with when i was on froyo

Did not have the chance to check it It was unresponsive and I had to remove the battery and let it cool down. But it was really hot. I tought that my phone is dead

I've tried different kernels and I have found that being overclocked has hurt my battery life. I think that this phone is snappy enough without being overclocked to 2ghz. Have people found the best battery life with the stock kernel? I'm still new to this...any help and opinions will be very appreciated!
So far I'm doing better than stock on the viperRom setup

The problem is you're OC'd to 2 ghz. Most people have reported this as an overkill and it really isn't too stable, if you use set cpu and set up some profiles you will get great battery life. The processor in our phones is clocked at 1.5 to begin with, im currently on joel's rom with the remix kernel oc'd to 1.7 and getting amazing battery life, but i wasn't getting good battery life with the viper rom. I mean everyone's experience is different.
Just find something that works for you, tweaking to your liking is part of the fun with android man!

Thanks for the lengthy response man..I'll def try messing around with set cpu. I've only ran the phone with the way the kernels come after being flashed

First things you should do is set a screen off profile. That will be awesome for your battery life. And you can get set cpu here for free on xda or get it in the market to support the dev
And we're here to help man!

What is the best setup to save battery in Setcpu with the stock HTC kernel? What I mean what do you set the high and low at or any other setting yiu mess with. I am a total noon to this and any info would greatly be appreciated.

I dont think Setcpu works with the stock kernel

you might be right but i set it to 192mhz as the low and it went that low. I am not looking to overclock or anything just trying to get the best battery life.
I flashed 1.2.2 rom first than I flashed bcblend kernel. Rebooted everything seems to work fine except I do a quadrant benchmark test and im getting low scores. When I go in set cpu and oc to 1.7 max .8 min i get high benchmark scores like I had with stock kernel. Anybody know whats happening? I unocked htcdev method. Hboot 1.5 with s-on
Are these low benchmark scores reflecting actual performance? If not, then don't care too much about it.
Are you using SetCPU, or a daemon?

I'm using setcpu. No performance is superfast...It's like my phone smoked crystal meth, no matter what I set the CPU speed to. Regardless I'm getting low bench scores. But I'm gonna take your advice and not care about it. I was just wondering if that was normal for a custom ROM and kernel combo.

Try setting the min freq as the same as max. Then select the performance governor, and run a bench. See what that does.

Okay, I set it at 1.6 ghz min and max on demand. Then I ran the antutu bench test. My score barely passed the galaxy s2. Is that normal? Performance wise its real fast though so i dunno if I should be concerned???

Absolutely no need for concern. Benchmark scores are terribly overrated. if the phone feels fast, then ride with it.
Hi everyone,
I was searching around the topics about battery life and I have read a lot of comments about getting better battery life with Clemsyn's 1.0 ghz kernel.
How about your thoughts? Is this right? Or any other suggestions?

Try faux 026 1 ghz.

I prefer faux's
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I use Faux's 026 GB 1.0GHz right now on Nottachtrix. Working fine for me, although my battery life has decreased slighty since updating from his 025 kernel. Faux's release is much newer than the Clemsyn kernels, so I would go with Faux.
Clemsyn and kholk used faux kernel and altered it. They have long since stopped making adjustments, as where faux still makes updates. Choice is yours to make, test them and see what you like.

I thank you all, I'm using faux 026 for a while. I'm not okay with my battery life. I will probably try Clemsyn's to see if there is any difference.

Might also try the Faux 025 kernel. If you also UV by -50mV across the board you can extend battery life fairly well.

Thats probably due to bad battery stats, try using zeppelinrox's script to calibrate your battery. I am using faux 1ghz and its fine for me

I installed "Voltage Control" app from the playstore and I UV by -50 of all lines(1000 mhz, 750 mhz... all of them) in the 'Voltage' section of the app. Is that right? Can it help me to extend my battery life?
