Any issue running 2.6 with the HydraKernel 1.115 #1 overclocked?
I was running the second overclocked(1152) HydraKernel without any issues whatsoever, currently trying the King's 4 to see if it is as good as they say batterywise....
I have read the SetCPU page and in trying to decypher the settings posted in threads like this compared to that site I have come to the conclusion I need a bare-bones, plain-english idea of what settings do what for the Inc. I have never used Kernels or SetCPU before, and I am trying to learn...any suggestions or instruction would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks!!!
P.S. I am currently on Virtuous 2.6 with the Virtuous custom kernel and SetCPU Main menu set to 384 max 245 min (only change I dare make without knowing what I am doing). Battery life is 100% better....I can now get through an average (for me) day of moderate usage and off charger for about 14-17 hours with about 25-35% left where before the 2.2 update, kernel and SetCPU I would be at 25% or less after only about half that time (if that)!!!
Curious....why is your max set at 384? Your phone/the snapdragon is meant to run at 998MHz. I set up a profile for when my screen is off with your same 384 max 245 min. When I'm using my phone it's set to ramp up to 998 with on-demand scaling. If your only getting 7-8 hours with your old set-up it sounds like an app keeping your phone awake not the kernel and setcpu. Have you looked into this? There is a ton of info on the forums on how to monitor non-sleeping apps (spare parts or system panel).
The setting is what I saw somebody else post in another thread, I may have it set in the wrong area....goes to show why I need help LOL!!!
As for the 7-8 hours (if I was lucky) that was on stock, no froyo, before upgrading/flashing anything (no SetCPU either). I am getting very good battery life now, I would like to learn how to utilize SetCPU to get better life, but if I have to live with what I have now, I can deal!!
I was thinking about doing the same thing I kind of just dove into this whole thing in the past 3 days I went from having no idea what I was doing to rooting, new rom, new kernel, and soon a new radio... its funn
If you would give an update on how you like it with this ROM
You mean 998MHz? Or are you using setcpu and under-clocking it?
Thank you very much, that is what I needed to start learning about this app. I am trying your settings now, and I will see what battery life I end my day with tomorrow!!!
P.S. What is the bit with 'battery <20%' in the image above?
Also...rayporsche....with my limited knowledge of things so far, wouldn't those settings make your Inc run hot a lot?
I'm down to 1152-max / 245-min and is running good, not sure about how hot could be very hot, when I use it a lot like nonstop multitasking it always feels hot, at one point in time I installed the cpu/batt temp measuring app but it always hovered below the 110 degrees neighborhood so I sttoped worrying, it is like the battery deal, it doesn't matter how careful you are the thing will drain quick, fast and in a hurry......if you use it that is, so I always carry a spare one....
Well...it is about 3 in the afternoon and I am at 70% battery life with moderate usage. Not bad. I will see if it changes in the next few days, but at this wate (40% over 8 hours) I am on a good track for getting a normal day out of the battery with enough left for emergencies or the occasional later than normal day!! Thanks
Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but when I use a screen-off profile of 245 / 384 - conservative, the phone takes considerably longer to wake when unlocking or receiving a call. Also, after unlocking there tends to be a slight lag when scrolling between screens for a second or two. I guess it's a trade off of performance and battery life.
I personally like the phone to be instantly responsive and snappy when I wake it, so I've been using a screen-off profile of 245 / 537 - conservative, and it's been working great.
Interesting a few have posted this here and at xda definitely some merit to it. However, mine wakes up instantly with zero lag with a 245/384 screen off profile. Could be app/kernel related maybe? Or even setcpu related? Or that I used adrynalynes custom kernel. I did have this lag you speak of with kings kernels.
lol, and I just got 2.6 with INCREVO theme the way I wanted it. Was/is working very well.
