First of all, I want to thanks every developer whom make ours Evos looks like a new phone.
I have been using mikg since I rooted my 2 Evos. I tried cm7 and I went back to mikg because the sence. I used cm9 for 2 days and is so amazing. I do like it way more, even without 4g. It is so smooth, just the best ROM I ever tried. But, there is always a but, since cm9 is an AOSP I expect better battery life. In 2 hrs went from 95% to 15%. Today in the morning went from 100% to 75% in half Hour. So I had to went back to mikg cuz I have more than 24 hrs w/o charging. I tried to find some trick or any scrip or something to get better battery life but I did not find anything.
Please I will really appreciate any help on this.
Thanks!!!

Have you tried to flash the Mason SBC kernel with it? I think the cm9 port has a mason kernel baked in but it doesn't have SBC. I've been running the Mason I .15rc3 kernel with it and battery life has been great. Also, give the rom+kernel a few days to settle in before passing judgement on battery life. I've found that after giving a fresh install of a rom/kernel a few days the battery life will improve.

Yea try it out and let us know. Just remember, with SBC kernels, you want to let the phone charge for about another hour or so after it reports that it is fully charged in order to get the full SBC effect.

I get your advise and I have to tell you that I notice the difference in just 10 mins. Now we are talking about. I was off today so I decide to play with my Evo to test this kernel, I spend almost 5 hrs(straight) between playing with settings, browsing the internet, setting some apps and watching videos from the internet(2 hrs maybe) and I'm on 20% right now. I think that's pretty good. Thank you for the advice!!!

CM9 comes with a MANSON kernel, but in not the same one. The one that I flashed is the "I 15r3", means that is the 3rd released candidate so is not a final version yet. I'm not sure whats the one that comes with cm9, but I think is a basic version of Manson Kernel made for cm9.
Remember this are electronic devices, maybe whats works for me don't work for you and vice versa. This is a great example. The cm9 stock kernel works great for you, I didn't get the same as you, but I get it with another kernel.

Ok guys. I have to admit, I was about to give up on CM7 due to battery issues and what seemed to be memory leaks progressively making my phone lag more and more throughout the day. I have found something some of you may not be aware of and I wanted to share this amazingly helpful kernel with you.
Using x99, Scary, and stock kernels regardless of governor I seemed to maybe get 8 hours of battery life with moderate to heavy use. I am proud to say, using bcnice20's kernel I have had my phone on for 9 hours with 60% battery life today. This is incredible, even with lighter use on the other kernels I had NOWHERE near this amount of battery left.
Most of you may not have seen this kernel because it isn't posted. (as far as im aware) Let me help you out. First, go into your Market and download Kernel Manager. There is a lite version in there that is free. If you have an extra buck or two donate to the developer for making a neat app where you can download kernels in a convenient place by downloading the pro version.
What you will be downloading is called bcblend SIO tinyRCU kernel. I have not tried VR tinyRCU kernel yet. Not sure what the differences are, if someone could elaborate that'd be appreciated.
Regardless, I find the sweet spot for this to be at 245MHz min and 1GHz max on Interactive governor to work really well. The phone does not seem to get laggier throughout the day and consistently performs well, snappy, and just way better than the other kernels. (No offense to x99 and Scary, I appreciate all you've done!)
Give it a try and let me know if you all have similar results! I have heard that AOSP gets less battery than Sense ROMs from people on this very forum, and this may be the kernel to put that little debate to rest.
Oh, and be sure you have the latest CM7. I am on 7.0.2.1 trying this out.
Thanks ima try this out

Since CM7 lets you change governors right in its settings I uninstalled SetCPU for now, in theory I would think it would cause more battery drain but I don't know for sure. But yes I just changed it right in CM7. I changed the governor to interactive and set the max cpu frequency to 1036MHz.
Gonna try this out. I love CM7 but the battery is killing me. I pray this works.
Android system & cell standby seem to be the battery use culprit. I will give this a try though but don't really think its in the kernel. Ill report back...

This kernel seems to be really good about not sucking the battery while on standby for me, that seems to be the crown jewel of it all. Right Now I am at 14 hours off the charger with 29% left.. remember I was lucky to get 8 hours most days before using this kernel.
This is off-topic, but along the same lines: which kernels gave the best battery life for Sense?

Honestly I didn't get much difference between x99 and bcnice20's 1.5GHz kernel so either of those two. Scarykernel SUV works well on Sense if your phone can boot it too.

It seems to be true. I'm def getting better battery life. I also calibrated my battery but I've done that before without any major change. So far I have 5 hours of quite a bit of use and I'm at 71% I would normally be around 55-60% by now. I wonder what the main difference is with the kernel...

I use IR when I run CM7 and Tiamat when I run MIUI.
tried tiamat, IR all works well, CM7 stock kernal + ss4n1 -screenstate (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090800).
and now back to CM7 Nightlies stock kernal overclocked to 1113mhz, Performance governor.
Stable and decent battery life (1 full day average use)
between the three, i will go for tiamat
They're all excellent. I've never used IR before so can't comment on that. I used wildmonks while on CM6 plus. Since CM7, I tried pershoot and tiamat. I like them both for supporting undervoltage.
Edit: oops. I put the wrong kernels that support undervoltage mod. They're actually tiamat and IR.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
pershoot runs rock solid and with an excellent battery usage. I had some problems with iR's latest, but maybe it was just my fault.
If i understood right, iR and WM are based on pershoot kernels. Anyway, I can't expect a better performance/battery life than with pershoots.
BTW:
Does someone know, which is the lowest voltage of the newest pershoot?
i think im sticking with wildmonks for now.. its giving me a decent battery life..
the other three dont work too well on my phone with cm7 nightly.
undervolting will save battery but reduce performace right?

Hi, let me first say sorry for this post. I know there are a million..
I do not have a Inc but my daughter does, last time I messed with it, I put CM7 rc3 on it right when rc3 was released. ever since then I have not read one word on the development of this phone. The phone runs good but battery life could be better.
Is there anything better than CM7? looking for the best battery life possible. Please suggest ROM/Kernel. sense or senseless.
Thanks,
Coming from an avid user of Sense I would say CM7, MIUI, and OMGB or OMFGB are the "best" with battery as they are stripped of Sense. If you don't get good battery life with any of those AOSP roms, kernel combo or not, there isn't much more anyone can do.
I only use Sense roms but I know if battery life & Senseless were my thing, I would have an AOSP rom. Not sure on kernels, the crowd can fill you in on their experience.
Best bet would be to flash incredikernel, and then dl incredicontrol from the market. Stick with cm7, use the underclocking app of your choice, and then use incredicontrol to lower the voltages at different frequencies...if it reboots, go one back until its stable.

I would suggest flashing the newest CM nightly. There have been some changes and kernel tweaks since rc3.
I'm on 10 1/2 hours sitting at 70%, albeit light use, but still I usually get at least a day and a half with moderate use.
I'm a big fan of Jermaine's In-Sensitive Minimalist ROM. It has by far been the fastest and best on battery life for me.

I'll second this. In-Sensitive Minimalist takes out almost all of the bloat of Sense, but leaves in the framework and the best apps. With Tiny's modules and SetCPU you can basically get it to run for days with minimal usage and 24-30 hrs with normal usage on a 1500mAH battery, which are $10 from Amazon.com and a good deal.
If you want to stick with Sense, that's the ROM to use. Otherwise, CM is a good choice.

Sounds like she might have 4g running all the time. Or maybe she might be updating/refreshing her background data to often. Only use 4g to down load big files or steaming vedio. Check her 4g connection and turn off or her sync rate set it to every 3 hours or more. If one or both are the culprit then she'll see a big improvement.
I run EVO Deck rom with cyanogenmod love it. And every thing works.
Hope this helps
I figured I'd chime in because you said you wanted a fully functioning ROM. CM7 and Deck had always yielded the best battery life for me with the last rev of the Savage Zen Kernel, but if you're like me and are very anal about the phrase "fully functioning" then it should be noted that the AOSP ROMs don't have 720p video recording. If that doesn't bother you than CM7 or Deck all the way.
That said i'm running TommyTomato's Classic ROM with the Freedom Agressive kernel and I'm getting 25+ hours on a charge which puts it on par with any AOSP ROM/kernel combo I've run. Might be able to get a little better on AOSP, but I'd say that's pretty damn good and it's fully functioning as in EVERYTHING works 100%.

4G is never on, Background data is unchecked, Email is set to manual sync, brightness is dimmed, no wifi. I feel as if I've done every battery saving trick in the book.
But I realized yesterday that I had SetCPU at 700mhz to save battery. I uninstalled it and the battery life wasn't dropping so rapidly. I can't say that was the issue. I'll have to run a few more test.

I will definitely try that combo and see what happens. I always flash roms but never kernels, to scared haha.
I get better battery on drews ICS ROM Than any from I've run in a year. I use it as a daily, it isn't completely fully functioning though, as 4g doesn't work and video is iffy.
That said, after I updated to latest radio, my battery is dying much faster........did you do the radio update ?

If you're flashing ROMs, you're already flashing kernels. Don't fear the kernel flash. Tiamat Lee on CM7 or Deck's is where it's at.

Nope, no radio update. Im going to see how the battery life is at the end of the day without SetCPU.
MIUI or salvagemod 1.4 with Tiamat 3.3.7 SBC

I meant interchanging kernels with custom roms.
A lot of people are saying the same thing so I guess I'll try those recommendations.
If you want sense go with team nocturnals shooter ROM it has been my daily for a good while and I really love the battery life

This is Sense based ROM with the best battery life for evo 4G

4G is never on, Background data is unchecked, Email is set to manual sync, brightness is dimmed, no wifi. I feel as if I've done every battery saving trick in the book.
But I realized yesterday that I had SetCPU at 700mhz to save battery. I uninstalled it and the battery life wasn't dropping so rapidly. I can't say that was the issue. I'll have to run a few more test.

I'm on Tommys Classic Supermagic,running the Hard to kill battery calibration script from Zepplins thread and i'm getting the best battery life i've had on any other rom and i've used this script with about 10 different roms,from AOSP to Sense 3.0,wont run 3.5 because of bugs and no 4G,after a full charge with alot of phone calls,texts and surfing,i held a charge for 4 days,it was 67% on the second day and actually died on the forth AM.
I'd definitely do a comparison between screen-on and awake time.
If you don't know this, you can access it through Settings > About Phone > Battery Use/History/Etc. See if the bar graphs of screen-on match awake. If you see a long bar under awake, but not a matching one under screen-on, you probably have a process or app that is stuck and needs to be removed/re-installed or have it's data cleared.
Note: it's normal to have some awake time that doesn't match screen on as apps/processes still have to perform there activities even with the screen-off, however, it shouldn't be a ton.
The best app out there to study this IMO is betterbatterstats. Hope this helps! Cheers!
