Root [Kernel][AOSP] Tiamat 4.1.0 | 2.6.38.8 |

MizzouBrent · May 12, 2011

I'm still running Tiamat 4.0.1 and probably won't upgrade until the next CM7 release since it's been so freaking solid. I used the viperboy v1 -50 script and I'm getting amazing battery life. Got a solid 36 hours off a full charge the other day with regular usage. I forgot to plug in my phone two nights ago, so I briefly charged at work yesterday morning to about 48% at 9:00 am and by the time I went to bed at midnight last night I was around 15%. Even with heavy usage it would get me through a full day, and that's really all I can ask for.

On the -50 script, I noticed that I would often have to hit the power button twice for my screen to wake, but I'm not seeing that now. I guess maybe my phone has learned to adjust to the undervolt?

are you supposed to leave the charger on longer then when the battery reaches 100% w/ an SBC kernel?? is there a recommended way of charging other than the norm?? just flashed my first SBC kernel last night

The best way is to use a lower amp charge like usb to the comp and leave it over night so it can trickle its way up slowly and fully.

Not knocking it but certainly not participating either

We would start a rEVOlution

I didnt realize how crappy my bb was until i got the evo...remember the 20 minute reboots? lol damn thing took forever to reboot. It was a work phone so it was ok but the screen was soo tiny!

LoL OMG!!!! I HATED THAT!!!! and they recommended rebooting it daily!! eff that!! man i hated that, the tiny screen, the sluggish performance, the fact that its Canadian(jk lol) even the new rim products dont compare... the only thing that i think rim has the advantage it im their email servers. seems like they have dedicated servers that push your emails the second they arrive in your inbox, and yeah yeah yeah i know you can change the update frequency on the evo, but it negatively affects the battery doing so. oh well lol

and hell yeah we should start an rEVOlution!!! i wonder what the evoII will be like :: pensive head scratching ::

god forbid you need to make an important business call and it decide to reboot, you might as well go to lunch...

forgive me for being a newb, but what is this viperboy script you speak of? I'm new to all of the kernel stuff, so I'm trying to get this kick ass battery life you all are talking about without using a SBC (still too scared to make that jump).

take the jump i swear you will be happy. i used to be like you. i just kind of stayed away from them. but now plenty of people have had time to use them, and i have as of yet heard anybody complaining that the sbc kernel killed their battery or have had their phone exploded. the benefits far out weigh the issues.

as for the viperboy scripts here it is: [MOD]Battery Saver Mod and Phone Stability Mod for AOSP Kernels v2 |Updated 5.7.11| - xda-developers i have not tried it myself, but i will have sometime this weekend to satisfy my flasholicism.

woah!! ocn changed his avatar!! lol

you know what ocn, youre right.... i didnt root my device for the first few mos of owning it, and now im doing the same thing with the sbc kernels... ::downloading:: lol

MizzouBrent · May 14, 2011

I flashed 4.0.2 SBC and my battery dropped to like 94% immediately after an overnight charge. Is it possible that the kernel just needs to settle? Seems odd for an SBC kernel. I flashed the right one. If I go into my phone info, it says it's Tiamat 4.0.2 SBC. Very weird.

ocnbrze · May 14, 2011

yeah i usually give a new kernel a few charge cycles to determine if it is the right one for me. give it a few more days or so.

MizzouBrent · May 14, 2011

Yeah I guess that's what I will do. 4.0.1 worked great for me so I would expect the same for the new version.

evomattnc · May 19, 2011

4.0.3 out now...

ocnbrze · May 20, 2011

sweet thanx for the heads up. downloading now.

youdoofus · May 20, 2011

i installed it last night, and i can only imagine that its even better than the last one... jury is still out, but ill holla back with results

flyjbaker · May 20, 2011

Using 4.0.1 SBC with Kings GB R4 and have to say it is stellar!!! The stock kernel that came with it had very poor battery life. This thing is amazing.

Haha, I really miss my BB from time to time. I didn't like the reboots. At the very least, five minutes. And battery pulls were so common. Any issue, 'pull the battery'.
I really liked auto on and auto off though... And I got killer bb life.

Oh, just downloaded the 4.0.3 tiamat kernels (sbc and without)

Headcase_Fargone · May 23, 2011

I recently flashed CM7 from stock and am seeing extremely poor performance. I followed some instructions on the CM forums and wiped everything completely before reinstalling. No difference.

At this point I'm willing to try a new kernel. Never done that before. I know there's some debate on the whole SBC thing, so I'm probably going to steer clear of that one for now. I'm not seeing a whole lot of information on the Tiamat-aosp site though. Can anyone give a quick rundown of any known issues or even just things they've experienced using this kernel? Is anything going to stop working? HDMI mirroring with Netflix, Wimax, etc?

evomattnc · May 23, 2011

I dont know of any. Check their XDA thread for issues you will find a lot more there than on their actual site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972746&page=168

4.0.3 dropped on 5/19 so look through threads like page 168-173

Of course also read OP

flyjbaker · May 23, 2011

Headcase, don't seat it...just give it a try and find out. Like I said above, the Tiamat SBC I flahsed is incredibly good....for me anyway. I am on Kings GB R4 which is CM7 based. The stock kernel with it sucked big time. I get a long full days' use now and usually still end up with about 30% left by the next morning...24 hours later....

Headcase_Fargone · May 23, 2011

How easy is it to flash back to the CM7 base kernel if Tiamat doesn't work out? Does it entail flashing the entire CM7 zip or what?

Sorry for the derail.

ocnbrze · May 23, 2011

just make a nandroid backup before you flash any kernel. that way you can just go back if you do not like it.

ocnbrze · May 29, 2011

the newest tiamat just dropped. just flashed it and gonna give it a good run tomorrow.

youdoofus · Jun 13, 2011

4.0.5 is out fo ya'lls enjoyment
