Hey guys,
I finally installed CM7 a few days a go (nightly #74), and I'm very pleased with it. The only downside, really, is the battery life. It's usable, but it drains at least 40% faster than Samsung-based ROMs.
Most of the power seems to be going to Cell Standby. I hear some of the custom kernels can improve things a lot.
Could those of you who have experimented with different kernels give me a good recommendation for a kernel and/or modem release which will work well? I just don't have time to spend hours digging through hundred-page forum posts these days...
Thanks in advance!
Glitch is good. Battery will be a bit better with a custom kernel but it still won't be as good as Froyo. Just the way it is.
What's your cell standby reading? Percentage of battery use? Also of android system and OS,?

i recommend NEO 9 v5 it has great battery life and its really smooth it comes with led version and no-led
When I ran CM7 Nightlies a while back I always stayed on the Stock Kernel. I guess that since Kernels aren't updated "Nightly" like the Nightlies you shouldn't use other ones. Just my personal preference.
Stock kernel is more stable but other kernels give better battery an there much smoother

All - whats the best kernel for battery life/performance ratio?
Currently using faux 1.6 kernel - superfast but battery drains real quick - whats everyone else using?
I was on the stock kernel for awhile with Ken's Alien ROM. Battery life wasn't great, then switched to Faux's kernel. Didn't notice much of an improvement. Im trying out Kholk's kernel, which has gotten good reviews for battery life. This is my first full charge on it, so we'll see. Im currently at 85% after about 3 hours of moderate to heavy usage.

From my experience edgans is best

any more replies folks? Hows Kholkds Kernel - what radio are you using?
Cheers
It seems like there is almost no 2.3.4 Evo 3D kernels. Id be very interested in something like netarchy toastmod for the Evo 4G...a kernel that improves battery life. Is there a reason why there arent more kernels, like no source code or something?

Mkernel + Juicedefender has done good for my battery life.
I can think of perhaps a half dozen 3d 2.3.4 kernels. Problem is most are built into ROMs.
Right now the best battery life I've tried is the Tiamat kernel that comes with viperROM. I get 19-25 hours of moderate usage on it with the OEM battery.

Hey guys
I know its a repeated question but I have been trying several roms with all the different kernels on my SGS2 and the only one that I have found is the Foxhound Rom which gives me a decent battery life. But now I flashed Rootbox because I wanted to have the new TW launcher on the phone...I usually underclock the processor to 800Mhz on Ondemand profile....I installed the latest 1.7 version using the Darknight, CM9 and Siyah kernels and the battery lasts me for just a day of moderate usage mostly because I can see the phone deep sleep about 60-70% of the time? I also dont know if flashing a new modem will make a difference.
Can anyone advise me as to how I can reduce it and possibly get a better battery life? Also I am gonna try the Rootbox with Fluxi kernel as bajee11 uses that on his kernel? But if anyone else is on the same ROM and getting a decent battery life, can you please advise me and also suggest CPU profile that you are using?
All help much appreciated

For ics I use try dark knight 1.8 and it's really good. Are you giving it a few cycles for the battery?

Yeah, as the title says. I stopped using this AWESOME phone because I now have an LG optimus G. However, I wanna use this phone as a portable gaming device (might get gameklip/ps3 controller) because I know there's a lot of awesome emulators out there. Does anyone have any suggestions that could help me take advantage of this phone's power in terms of performance for gaming? Batterywise, I don't mind if it can only last like 5 hours of straight gaming or even less.
1. What model of the Evo 3D do you have (CDMA/GSM, Evo 3D, Evo V, Evo 4G+) - EVO 3D GSM
2. What ROM are you currently running? King Cobra ICS
3. Is your Evo 3D rooted and/or S-OFF? S-OFF
4. What is important to you in a ROM (features, customization, performance, battery life, etc.)? Gaming Performance, Music Quality and maybe some decent battery life.
5. Do you plan to run a custom kernel to OC/UV or for additional features like USB host? ??? don't get this question
6. If you have a preference between Sense and AOSP ROM's please include that. - Don't mind, but I like the Senseless look
7. Indicate if you are looking specifically for a GingerBread, Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean based ROM. - Would like ICS, or Jelly Bean but I prefer performance over this.
8. Must have features that don't work on all ROM's like Wi-Fi tethering, WiMax 4G, and 3D camera. - Wifi Tether
+ kernel suggestions and any add-ons that will improve my phone's performance is greatly appreciated.
PS. I don't mind if I can't play games in SUPER HIGH QUALITY as long there's no lag.

1. EVO 3D GSM
2. Stock ICS, rooted, deodexed and zip-aligned
3. S-OFF
4. First and foremost battery, performance, music performance and gaming performance
5. Yes. Latest Anryl kernel, overclocked to 1,5GHz and undervolted
6. I personally prefer AOSP (CyanogenMod), but since the battery life and gaming performance is not that great at this moment, I stick to stock ICS. Apart from that, CM beats Sense on all fronts.
7. Some may argue Gingerbread is best for gaming, but I highly doubt that. IMO stock ICS is the best gaming ROM at the moment, until the devs improve the 3D performance in their CM10 ROMs.
8. Must-have features: everything besides 3D and Wi-Fi tethering. Those are not important to me.

AWESOME thank you!
I really don't know how to put cyanogen mod on my phone though :$ so yes, do you have any recommendations for a ROM that's exactly what you described?

I described what I'm currently using at the moment, and that's official ICS, rooted, deodexed and zip-aligned, with Anryl's latest kernel.

and this combination actually provides the best gaming experience?
Viper is pretty fast, at least on cdma phones it is.
Honestly not every one phone is the same, you are better off trying a multitude of configurations. Grab 5 different roms and 3 different kernels and try them all! A good game to test with is GTA III.

Yes, well, for me at least.
