Root [KERNEL][AOSP&SENSE] - Superior Battery Charging. +4.18V off the charger!

Quick question, do the Kernals you are using allow overclocking beyond 1150 ( i need ~1200 clock), and how are they compared to battery life(vs the stock RLS5 kernel)

SBC or not, netarchy can be overclocked to 1267 MHz. Don't expect to be able to overclock that high. Very few people can. I can't get it any higher than 1190 MHz, but a 10 MHz difference between that an 1.2 GHz is so negligible that it's close enough. If you're using setcpu to overclock, always uncheck the option to set at boot when trying to go that high.

because if you set it to an unstable level and you tell it to clock to that on boot, then when you boot up it will be immediately unstable and you may get stuck and not able to get the clock speed to a more reasonable speed and therefore you have screwed yourself :/

Tried the same 2.2 more havs. Stable overclock my phone to 1228 (thats the closest one following 1190). One time I locked up my phone when I overclocked, so I never leave it on auto-boot!

Interesting.... I had screen tears before and just brought the setting down, but I have never been stuck! (Thank the Lord!) That one just seemed to go right over my head as a possibility. I'll be sure and eliminate "Set on boot"

So, i dont have anything overclocked, but i have a screen off profile at 245/245, will that not start taking effect until i open up the setspu app after a reboot?

Edit: Never had any desire to overclock, cuz id rather have better battery. But i just set it to 1190 and it immediately locked up and rebooted haha
i think im going to try 1152 for the day, seems stable so far.
lol...noob question.. will this be that good or will i really notice much of a difference?
My phone already seems smooth as glass and quick on 128/998, where its always set at

1) Let me clear up some confusion here. There is nothing wrong with using the set at boot option. Just leave it unchecked until you know your phone is stable. After that, check away.

2) Profiles should not be affected by unchecking "set at boot". All that does is set the main min/max every time your phone starts. Profiles still run as long as they are enabled.

3) If your phone is running fine without overclocking, and you don't see a difference, don't bother. You might get a slight bump in quadrant scores, but who really cares about those. Ultimately, if you can't tell the difference, all you'll be doing is draining the battery faster.

I feel like I can tell a difference of slower speed when my setCPU profile slows it back down to factory speeds below 50% battery, although it may be the "placebo effect". I can definettely tell when the below 25% profile sets in.

Yeah, it depends on what kernel you're using, and how high you're overclocking to begin with. Once you go below stock, though, I agree it feel sluggish depending on what you're doing.

So I just had to do a nand backup bc I accidentally bumped my processor to 1.26 and had it to set on boot. I got stuck in a boot loop. Gay. We just talked about this today. Haha

Oops :). I've done that before. Using sliders is a bad idea, imho. It's too easy to accidentally set the cpu frequency to high, just like that - even if you didn't mean to tap the slider.

What speed are you set at for <50% and <25%?

Right now i just have a <50 profile with the max around 680 something, does the one for <25 help out a little?

I'm overclocked until 50%. Below 50% I go back to 998mhz and below 25% it is set 300 something to 499. It helps out if I'm trying to save my battery when I don't have a charger. If I have a charger I usually turn the below 25% profile off. Be sure the below 25% has a higher priority then the 50%

Question: I got an extra red oem battery for the evo.
I was just going to charge it up and save it for when i need it. Will it hold its charge for a reasonable period of time..a week..a month? If it doesnt, i guess i dont mind ill just have to regharge it here and there..but for the most part ill have a spare.

Also, what about getting a separate charger, to charge the spare, by itself without the phone?
Will that charger charge the battery up to the actual 100%, or will it also have that percentage drop within the first few minutes right after i pop that sucker in..?

Instead of turning the <25% profile off if you have a charger, it may be more "user friendly" to add a charging profile to overclock cpu when on usb or wall charger. That's what i do anyways, so regardless of battery life, I get max cpu when plugged in as theres no need to conserve anything. Only thing that has a higher priority than my charging profile is >40 battery temp.

Yea but when I have my phone on the charger I like it to charge as quick as possible.


I tell u what...this kernel (SBC more HAVS) is way better than stock. Last night when I had to do my nand backup restore it put me back on Warm 2.2 with the stock kernel and the battery life has been terrible in the last 24 hours. Just flashed the kernel back on.

I also noticed the charging took so much longer.
