First, this would be interesting if we could all test the roms at the same cpu speed and the same governor. Otherwise, it's a bit difficult to keep track.
Tested the new Blackice 1.10 vs CyanogenMod 7.1.0
Procedure:
- Factory reset, wipe all, flash full wipe 1.5_ext4.zip
- Install rom
- Install Antutu and Quadrant
- Check CPU settings in cyanogen performance settings
- Reboot
- Run Quadrant 3 or 4 times, then reboot, run 2 times more.
- Reboot
- Run antutu 3 or 4 times, then reboot, run 2 times more.
- Highest score wins.

Guys, i am not expert in this. but as i was facing battery issues too with miui, i came with some tweaks which gave me good battery result....so helping people about battery issues.
So please Don't blame me,if you dont get good results......your settings are crap and all,because i am just helping people.
and i am sure,if you follows all the steps,it will help you also. because i got 250+(pm) positive feedback about this tweaks,so posting here.
SCROLL DOWN FOR CM9
here are some tweaks :-
basics :-
Turn off Bluetooth,wi-fi,3g data connection,GPS when they dont need.....if you dont wanna do it manually,Use Juice Defender(LINK) app. But i will recommend to do it manually,as that app will also consumes some battery

so out of all kernels you would recommend dk 2.4.3. for best battery life... have you compared your findings with void. echo and siyah? siyah was good for battery life before matched with wajkiui but then after updated to latest kernel my battery is dying... void.echo is worse... pls help.. battery life is my biggest problem! will your settings differ for different batteries i currently have a 2000amh.. and switch between the original when one dies... at this rate il need a third battery =_=

dk 2.4.3 kernel does not support clock by clock voltage? or is it the voltage control that is the issue? ( Hope not since I really like it. Thanks for posting it old SetCPU user..)

MagicConfig (previously "mycfg")
Universal UV tweak to help you easily get an great improvement in battery life, Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich Compatible!
First step for any Undervolting beginner.
INITIAL STORY
Due to receiving endless requests few months back for me to post my "MagicConfig" for SiyahKernel and as I'm typing this right now I still have to send out 20+ PMs every single day on this subject. So I have finally decided to make a thread for it, now it can be discussed and found here without needing to contact me.
Obviously I only wanted to do this after extensive "real world" testing myself and MagicConfig's initial user's confirmation that it works astonishingly well, since then it has been picked up and loved by many many users more. IT TOOK ME OVER 4 MONTHS TO MAKE SURE THIS CONFIG WOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH ALMOST ALL SGS2s. HOWEVER, PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST CAREFULLY BEFORE TRYING TO APPLY THESE SETTINGS.
Now, what you will find below is not a script of any kind so there is no need to download or flash anything. All you need to do is simply input these values into Voltage Control app which can be downloaded free from the Market.
I have done my best to test the configuration and to my knowledge it should work on most of Galaxy S2 devices out there. It is designed to bring balance between smoothness and battery life, I have spent over 3 months (since the betas) going through all of SiyahKernel releases to find the perfect combinations of Schedulers and Governors that are included within each release of the Kernel. If you do have issues or if you needed to make alterations of any kind to make it work for you (not including reducing voltages further), please report this here. Thank You.

Requirements and description below!
UV Settings for other kernels can be found in this thread by ram3n:

6+ HOURS BATTERY LIFE IS TRULY POSSIBLE!! NOT JUST A MYTH!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21852140&postcount=2
READ SOME FEEDBACK FROM CURRENT MAGICCONFIG USERS!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23081634&postcount=3
----------
* CURRENT PHAZE (MagicConfig ICS):
MagicConfig v1.0, tested and working with SiyahKernel v3.2.7.1 and v3.3.2!! Earlier versions of this kernel should be suitable as well.
* REQUIREMENTS:
You need to be running SiyahKernel (latest is always recommended) and have the eXtweaks application installed.
SiyahKernel ICS by gokhanmoral development thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555259
eXtweaks app is here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.darekxan.extweaks.app
* INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TO DO NEXT:
Go to this post and follow the settings there:
http://goo.gl/ykgQ0
----------
* CURRENT PHAZE (MagicConfig GB):
MagicConfig v0.3.2, tested and working with SiyahKernel v2.6.11, SiyahKernel v2.6.12 SiyahKernel v2.6.13, RedPillKernel v1.2, v1.3 and N.E.A.K. 1.3.3x, 1.4x, 1.4.1x and 1.4.2x.
Have to say, best balance between performance and battery life with this config can be achieved on N.E.A.K. Kernel. Earlier versions of any of these kernels should be suitable as well.
* REQUIREMENTS:
Any of the above mentioned kernels, just do a search on XDA and you shall find them.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
* GOVERNOR & SCHEDULER MATCH-UP:
SiyahKernel
BFQ / ONDEMAND
NOOP / CONSERVATIVE
SIO / SMARTASSV2
RedPillKernel
DEADLINE / SLEEPY
NOOP / CONSERVATIVE
SIO / HYPER
N.E.A.K. Kernel
BFQ / ONDEMAND (some have reported slight lags)
NOOP / CONSERVATIVE (with Lionheart tweaks)
NOOP / LAZY (best balance so far for me, maybe it sensed my own lazyness lol) (SCHED_MC and EXT4boost enabled)
*** Please test them out and find which combination works best for you ***
----------
* CPU:
Undervolted Range / 100Mhz - 1400Mhz
Battery Saver Setting / 200Mhz - 1000Mhz
+ VOLTAGES:
100Mhz - 900mV
200Mhz - 900mV
500Mhz - 950mv
800Mhz - 1000mv
1000Mhz - 1100mV
1200Mhz - 1200mV
1400Mhz - 1300mV
*** N.E.A.K. Kernel only allows highest frequency of 1200Mhz ***
*** RedPill Kernel can't handle these voltages on some devices, if you get freezes or reboots please raise all voltages by +25mV ***
* GPU:
114Mhz low / 267Mhz high
*** Latest SiyahKernel v2.6.13 doesn't allow step of 114Mhz, please use 133Mhz instead ***
+ VOLTAGES:
850mV low
950mV high
----------
* OTHER INFO:
Mainly at the moment I just stick to NOOP + ONDEMAND on N.E.A.K. 2.0.4x, running CyanogenMOD 9 and CPU at 200Mhz - 1000Mhz.
As I always say though, these voltage settings are a safe stable base and could be tweaked to your liking once you get experienced with undervolting.
Also can I ask you kindly not to post this config in any other threads, instead if someone asks for it then just direct them to this thread please. Thanks!

----------
* NOTICE:
That's about it. If you want to save even more battery juice then just reduce the highest CPU frequency down to 1000Mhz or even 800Mhz.
Also, I found that having the lowest frequency set to 200Mhz improves smoothness quite a bit and doesn't impact battery too much, of course it's also slightly more stable. Potentially, this can conserve even more battery life.
Do not have multiple CPU / Voltage configuration apps installed at the same time, you will most likely get conflicts.
If you start having issues (screen going black, freezes or reboots then raise all voltages by +25mV) then everything should work as normal. If it doesn't, then raise by another +25mV.
Enjoy the smoothness everyone. As always, feedback is greatly welcomed and is very helpful to others. Thank you!

Configurations comparisons, battery run results.
My recent battery run:
This was on:
CheckROM V6 + N.E.A.K. 1.4x + MagicConfig v0.3.2 + V6 Supercharger
As you can see in the screenshot I was on 50% battery at that time, so by the power of addition we can conclude that 6+ hours screen time is very much possible and isn't a myth.

Results for SpeedMod / Phenomenal / N.E.A.K. / Siyah / RedPill / stock kernels
Everything is specific to my phone, my "normal" usage and my home location. Most values are exact results, but some are rounded. I usually have wifi, synch (three email accounts, calendar and news), Google Talk and Skype on.
For all custom kernels, I was running on Frankenstein XWLA4 ROM (Modem: XXKL1).
For stock kernels, I was running on the corresponding stock ROM.
Always using the Samsung's standard / stock 1650mAh battery.
For Siyah, as it has many, many configurable settings, I have changed nothing - just default settings.
For N.E.A.K. I tested VR schedule, Lulzactive governor, only enabled sched_mc and the rest unchanged defaults.
For RedPill kernel, I tested completely default settings (deadline / ondemand) without any change.
For RedPill (MC, noop/conservative), I tested geko95gek's MagicConfig v0.3.1 settings with noop / conservative on 200-1200 MHz (no UC or OC, only recommended/safe UV).
For RedPill (MC, dealine/sleepy), I tested geko95gek's MagicConfig v0.3.1 settings with deadline / sleepy on 200-1200 MHz (no UC or OC, only recommended/safe UV).
For RedPill (sio/conservative) kernel, I tested completely default settings, only changed io sched to sio and governor to conservative.
Just tested RedPill rev1.3 with different io sched / governor combinations (and geko95gek's MagicConfig), and added its results.
Here are my current results:

(*) In order to get a value, which allows to compare test results with different screen on times for mixed usage battery tests, I tried to „normalized“ the battery loss per hour with the following formula:
loss*(1-screen): battery loss in % (per hours) * (100% - screen on time in %)
So, it would be the battery loss in % (per hour) for the screen off time.
That is how a kernel with the same battery loss per hour will get a better/lower value, if it has more screen on time. (And the other way round.)
RedPill rev1.3 has got best battery savings with sio/conservative on my phone, even without any additional UC/UC, etc.
Subjectively, it feels a little bit laggy/not as smooth as in other combinations (e.g. sio/hyper).
So, my first impression of this kernel was proven: Very stable kernel which is highly configurable to fit every demand - for performance and battery life.
Thanks again pongster for that great kernel.
And thanks to geko95gek for his MagicConfig which gave me enough confidence to test out some UV, io sched and governor changes.
Looking forward to test new versions of that kernel ...

Configuration user feedback.
Just some feedback received from users of MagicConfig:
From boromxed
"Hi,
This is to inform you that your settings are excellent.
Have tested them on Siyah 2.6.7 /2.6.8 and 2.6.9 with Omega B&B 10.2 rom and, it works wonderfull on all.
Very smooth and very little battery drain.
For information battery drain during night time over an 8 hours period (Wifi/Data/Background Data on off) is less than 2%.
I even got 0% during one night (battery level at 35% at 12 pm and still at 35% at 08:00 am);
Congratulations, mate"

"So i tested out your config, and oh my do i get amazing battery life! whenever i go to school id have it drain down to about 92% after my first class which was roughly 1 hour and 35 minutes, and thats without touching it, this time it only went down to 98% and that was with music playing too some of the time! Thanks man! i read about your 0.3.1 config, whens that coming out? lol"

"Hey Geko,
Used your settings back in 2.5.2 and battery life was AMAZING.
Wondering whether you have v3 settings for 2.6.1 out
Cheers"

More feedback for you geko. Been using your magic config for about a week now and my phone has been as smooth as a ken doll.
I use bfg and ondemand 200Mhz - 1000Mhz plus all your voltages with the exception 200Mhz I use 875mv as it causes me no issues.
Getting around 48hrs uptime (from 24hrs - 32 hrs) which means the battery saving is great (and if I cared about the environment greener also)
Thanks again.

Since yesterday i'm using last siyah with settings from first post on noop-conservative combo with only difference that I set max to 1200..indeed those values make a huge difference on battery drain and also phone is stable like a rock!(omega 10.2 ROM)
Thanks a lot :thumbup:

Did exactly what you suggested with siyah and voltage control.
Made a huge difference. About 1.5hrs more screen on time.
Previously used cfroot KK5 and setcpu to UV/UC and by 4.5 to 5 hours I'd be looking for a charger.
Thanks a million for this. I have smoother, better performance all round and what is a record for battery performance for me.
I'll be sticking to this setup for sometime now. Unless neak really is better.

Top thread gek. Best starting point for UV I've come across.
Thanks for spending months of your time nutting out a safe and thoroughly tested point for us to start at.
From your research it's easy as to move up or down to find the best settings and governors for our kernel and specific device.
I've found my personal favourite setup and finally can stop chasing performance and battery.
That's it for me with GB. Nothing left to do. If only it came out of the box like this.

Thanks Geko! Totally appreciate this thread.
Any chance you could post screenshots of your settings, I am a noob to this app and this kind of tweaking..

After applying your settings, do I have to "Save as boot settings"?

I will post screenshots tomorrow. Really all you need to do is download the Voltage Control app from the market and input the numbers into it going from screen to screen. It couldn't be simpler.

Yes, save as boot. Then settings will be reapplied after rebooting.

Thanks, which do you recommend? Save as startup service or init.d?
The app recommends startup service.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of either choices?

I hope so. I double checked the market and I have Voltage Control by DAREK.XAN. Last updated January 17, 2012. 976 Reviews with 100,000+ downloads. Size of the app is 685KB.
So whenever I click "Save as boot settings", it comes up with a dialog box asking "Pick a method" and gives me two choices: init.d script or (Recommended) startup service.

Whichever most reliably sets the values at boot. I've had issues with service boot options in other apps, so I opt for scripts. Scripts are applied faster. Either one will be applied in ample time. The only major advantage is providing an option for those that have issues with one or the other.

Ah yes that must be correct, I haven't updated up to the latest version. Doing that now.
I'd say startup service, since thats what I always do and never had issues with my settings sticking.

Thanks mate, as always I will be keeping up with latest versions from gokhan and making sure that I update the config according to the way the kernel feels.

First off..thanks to geko for this settings..This setting was my stepping stone to learn anything from UV'ing and look for the proper combo for governor and scheduler..his setting is very stable..and the user can still tweak this settings as long as their phone can handle the UV and all the tweaks a user can do..
For a stater in UV-ing, i suggest to use this settings by geko..this is superb.
Thanks again mate..

From geko's setting ans from the suggestion of Suarez7, im able to tweak my setting and my phone seems to be happy with it..its freaking flying now..
Heres my setting as of now with siyah 2.6.11:
BFQ+ondemand
100-1000mhz
Voltages
100-800mV
200-825mV
500-875mV
800-950mV
1000-1050mV
GPU
114mhz-800mV
267mhz-950mV
Im really happy with it..even got 5400 in Antutu..
Thanks again mates..

Geko - Thank you! Your post is helpful, no question. I have no problem if people are giving additional input and are trying to be helpful - lets all work together. However, to those that feel like smart assing you - why do you even bother if you don't see the point of this thread? Why can't Geko try to be helpful to others and be appreciate for this? Maybe you should do something useful for a change.
Thanks dudes, like said before the purpose of this thread is to help jump start the UV modifications.
It's an "easily achievable improvement" basically, since these settings can be punched in straight away after flashing the kernel. I mean not everyone wants to sit there and scratch their head for 3 hours after flashing a kernel trying to figure out how he must reduce the voltages to get better battery life. That benefit should be accessible to them straight away, not after 3 days of trial and error...and freezes.....and reboots lol
It's much better to flash, select the numbers given and go!
Especially now since gokhan is on a proper roll and comes out with updated/improved kernel every day lol (not complaining)

That's about it. If you want to achieve slightly more battery juice just reduce the CPU freq down to 1000Mhz or even 800Mhz. I found that having the lowest frequency set to 200Mhz improves smoothness quite a bit and doesn't impact battery too much, of course its slightly more stable as well.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Most of my testing so far has indicated that enabling 100 MHz could actually reduce your battery life a bit, because the CPU spends more time active and less time in deeper idle states like AFTR or LPA.
Because there is little to no voltage difference between 100 and 200, and leakage current dominates at this frequency, it's better to hit AFTR or LPA idle than to clock down.
In short - disable 100 MHz and you get free "Wheatley".
