Root New Kernel Dev! [KERNEL] [SENSE] 12-25 - AnthraX - BEATS - USB HOST MODE - QUALCOMM 'B' VER

Not open for further replies.
FYI:
41 1/2 hours after unplugging phone, I had 18% battery remaining.

Would have let it go down further, but wanted to go to sleep, and was afraid to let it go to zero for fear of killing the battery.

Still on Anthrax v 009
MikG 2.61

Wow! O_O Was this obtained with minimal, moderate, or heavy use? I use my phone as a music player since I sold my iPod, I text quite a lot, I use the Twitter for Android app a lot too.

You sounds like me. Time off charger is misleading. I was running a deck-gingerbread build over christmas and I went like 36 hours between charges, but I didn't use my phone much. The other night with Anthrax I burned through my battery in like 9 hours, but I had about 2 and a half hours of screen time and another hour and a half maybe of music (stock battery). If you use your phone, I say 12-16 hours is good. Getting over 40 hours is either light use or an extended battery.

Everyone has different definitions of light or moderate anyway. My two biggest battery indicators are how much screen time I can get off of a charge, and how much music playing can I get out of a single charge.

Okay, I was always wondering about that. I suspected that the people who got the most out of their batteries hardly used it. During the Winter vacation from school, I stayed with my mother and she got about 5 days on a charge on an un-rooted stock EVO and battery. She rarely uses it, lol.

I usually get about 13 hours with a good ROM/kernel set up with moderate to heavy use. I just recently started using my phone as a music player but since I have classes and I'm usually around people quite a bit that doesn't really affect the battery because I don't listen to it long enough. WiFi is available around campus in most buildings, just not in the dorms but my brother has Windows 7 and we use connectify which turns it into a WiFi hot spot.

it looks like chad will not be porting this kernel to other devices any time soon:

I am sharing my work out of the kindness of my heart, I ask for no money, i expect nothing in return. Im basically doing you all a favor.

Im not trying to prove anything, nor do I have anything to gain from sharing. I know there are a lot of other developers out there that are better than me, and I never said I was the best. I gave features to the 3D that prior to my kernel, were not available on any 8x60 device that im aware of. (USB HOST MODE, +mA, HBR BLUETOOTH, HW ACCEL, QUICKCHARGE, HID MODE... just to name a few)

Due to the drama that continues to come from sensation users, my goals of making this available to other devices have been discontinued. I have enough stress with family, friends, and my cats, I dont need the stress of haters.

New guy so can't pm, but can I please get a link for the BEATS version. I use my phone alot for music/radio listening at work ... and I quite hate headphones. Better sound would be great also better battery life too :)) ...

running MIk3.0 now and loving my evo4g, thanks guys.....

If you're wanting to actually have Beats you'll need to switch up your ROM too.

XDA has put out some incredible info. I hate to see all the bs that goes on over there. I joined that forum a while back and really I think I've logged in about 3 times. I was dumb enough to ask a question there once and well never ever made that mistake again.

Thank God for the AF. You guys RAWK.

Xpert This offer doesn't involve any animals does it??? I know his cat had to have some kind of surgery. I don't think that would be nice :p
