[desire batt-fix] BCblend CFS

I do not take credit for anything in this kernel, all I did was look at the battery fix for the Desire Sense kernel and found the same variables in this kernel and applied the changes. I also changed some values to things that seemed more logical to me..
This is fix prevents the phone from discharging to 90% once it is fully charged. Now it discharges to 99% and goes back to 100%.
Features
* Based on latest Cyanogenmod_2.6.32 source
* HAVS
* Smartass Cpu freq gov.
* compiler optimizations and various performance tweaks

The file is called "bcbiznuss" because it's bc's kernel, and my favorite youtube channel is pcbiznuss...

Can you make a sense kernel with this fix in it

we need this implanted in a sense

I will second the first 2 replies. Can this be made for Sense ?

Well good news for y'all...the file that was edited can be copied and pasted into a Sense kernel. That's what I plan on doing later on tonight.. I seriously need a break, I been at this all weekend for the most part..all day yesterday... and now im at the point where if i have to type "make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE blablablbalbalhablah" again, im gonna flip.
Im running on more charge test right now to make sure that this is in fact 100% working, im not a dev, so i had to learn all this this weekend, and me being the paranoid person that I am, i always have a feeling that whatever i do doesnt work...but 20 mins after hitting 100% and me taking my phone off the charger, it only lost 4% in 30mins..that's a good sign.

thanks OP...
ill be flashing this on MIUI in a few.

I've been watching a thread, far too technical for me, on the nexus forums on battery calibration. Are these related?
I'm assuming that it will work on miui right?
I'd love to hear feedback, high hopes

Well you're gonna make sure that your battery is calibrated before flashing this. My battery was completely tanked after a full weekend of testing, my stats were so messed up..not even funny. With this kernel, you should calibrate the battery, get it to 100% and wipe stats and theoretically, this should be the last time you would have to do that.
Yes this works with MIUI, works with all AOSP roms.

Sweet. I'm about to charge my battery up and then throw this on the newest CM nightly. Thanks for the great work...I know a lot of us have been looking for a fix like this for a while.

To the op, many thanks for learning and taking the time to dev this for all of us. Will be watching this thread.

this is interesting and worthy to watch
i dont post much, but i lurk

I knew someone would crack this sooner or later . Wooo hooooo . Big surprise it wasnt HTC though
/facepalm

Has anyone tried running this kernel with aosp roms like Cyanogen or Miui? What were your results?

Interesting, I thought I read in that thread that the batt stats we're wiping are nothing more than battery usage histories..I may be wrong though..

So is this a kernel I can just flash or what?

ICS

So is there any working progress on getting it on our skyrockets soon? Will we be supportes in CM9? I can't wait to finally get it lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

So what is the big deal with CM7? is it the best rom out there? I looked at there website and they dont suport the skyrocket as of yet, I guess we have to wait until CM9?

it is not the best ROM ( my op anyway ) just has a following because it is ported from phone to phone to phone as is MiUi. as other roms that devs work on are usually just for the phone they have in their pocket ( less Johnson )

I am using CM7 on my Skyrocket (with Da_G's kernel) and I think it's great. It's not flashy and super tricked out or anything, but it does remove all the stock bloatware and battery life is MUCH improved on it. I suspect if I added something like Juice Defender and tweaked that all to hell and back I could get several days on a charge. As it stands now I get a bout a full day with moderate usage without having to plug up constantly as I did before. (That is the main reason I wanted to root was so I could test out all of the claims of super battery life.) just my op, but CM7 is OK in my book.

so cm7 on the SR isn't buggy or anything because this phone is my daily driver

Hi.
I think that if you want so good batterylife as possible, it all depends on what ROM and kernel you are using together.
In my opinion Matr1x and GlaDOS 2.9 are probably the best, and you should try one of them, or why not try one for a week, then try the other and then deside.

No, just kidding, but it is with a c. I think you're totally right! I prefer Matr1x, but GlaDOS belongs to one of the best kernels as well!

I'm very surprised at this, given Pete's propensity to tweak the baked in kernel dramatically to improve both performance and battery life. I'm getting great results of both using his kernel.
Saying that, Steve Garon's plays very nicely with Pete's ROM. Either leave ondemand and deadline scheduler.
Matr1x is also very good. Same there, or use lazy for decent battery life.
As for what settings. It totally depends what you have going. If you got 25 different news widgets sucking data like there's no tomorrow, then yes, you;re going to see crappy battery life. Tell us what you;ve got going on and we'll try and help.

Well I just turned sync off most Google stuff aside from Gmail and twitter sync is off and other stuff I am not all sure what is and isn't off or on
I can almost sit back and watch my battery tick down ward
Is there like maybe an extended battery aside from the one in box can buy to assist n more juice

I would stick with what you have for a short while longer.
UCLA 2.3.6 update just hit, so lots of ROM's will go through wipe-only updates and new ROM's will be released.
SkyICS is the flashiest, coolest ROM IMO that still manages to be stable and quick.
RedSonja is a bit more blah (aside from cartoons) with the theme and tricks/gimmicks/addons, but looks like it was just rebuilt for UCLA 2.3.6 update. So if you have to flash something, that is the one I'd try right now.

I'm digging NexusM0D 3.0 after trying a couple of different ICS-Themed ROM's.

I'd give Skycoke a try. To be honest SkyICS and Coke are the only two I've used but I've developed a serious Coke habbit. It's clean, fast and stable.
I'm sticking with it until there's a true ICS release.

I like that one a lot also.
But I was getting random, infrequent force closes. Mostly on superuser.
Anything Seanzcreams dev's is going to be pretty good. But he's not around for a few weeks I think. So no new updates for awhile.

Sean will be back in April after the tour w chimaira. Skyics is very stable and clean though.

I really liked sky ics, and nexus mod 2.0. Tpc is really good as well but the dev moved on so no updates. If you like eye candy try one of the sky versions or nexus mod.

what Rom do you guys recommend if i am looking for stability, battery life and lots of customization (tweaking wise not graphics wise)...
i am using sky ics 7.4 speed... its very flashy and has lots of graphics stuff i dont really need but its draining my battery like crazy. i can barely go 10 hours without charging.

Try using the stock skyice. I am using this version and the battery life is awesome. Best batter life I have had with any android phone.

the problem i am having is that my phone never goes to sleep...! i am trying to find what causes the wake lock...with the screen off is still draings batter like crazy...
i have my eyes on the call recorder...could that be the culprit?

Idk...its gotta be some app that you downloaded though...cant be a system app since those come on the rom and mine is fine.

thx for the help.

2 much to Choose
I like the stability of SkyIce 7.4 Lots of eye candy. Right now using StokMod-2-UCLA3, hoping that ICS will be released soon. I Wipe about once a week just for the variety. Only Bricked the SkyRocket i727 once before the 30 days was up.
Wish I would have waited for the note.

Personally I prefer the Tmob roms. The ones here feel pretty much all the same to me too imo. There are some pretty interesting ones over there like Tuesday, Juggs and ParadoxII. Really nice themes and features too. You just need to flash our kernel or else your rotation is all outta wack. I find there is more action over there. Although the roms we do have might be less original they are pretty rock solid.(props to our devs) The only downside to the Tmob is you lose the LTE icon (still getting the speeds just no icon changing) which I couldnt care less

Who else finally went back to GB?

I've spent the last month using the various ICS. Today, I finally flashed back to barebone GB. Yeah, I miss some of the features, but I like having long lasting battery and stability a lot more. I am now using barebone + blastoff v2 kernel.

I agree with you on the battery issue but not on stability. for me MIUI has been super stable.

Went back about a month ago. They keep saying the GPS works but I am having no luck with it. GB works fine though... Battery life is definitely a plus.

I agree with you about the gps. The first time I mentioned it, people came down on me with a vengeance. So, I stopped mentioning it. Sure, my gps with ICS worked... after like 15 minutes. I tried all the roms, and they all took that long to lock. With GB, it takes like 10 seconds.
I'm sure this post alone will bring more people to come down on me with a vengeance regarding the gps.

I went back to ICS once, needed my JB back. No seriously I haven't used my SGS4G as a daily phone on ICS, but for gameplay or as a music player battery life has been about the same as GB or even froyo. And stability has been fine also, no reboots or freezes.

Just to be sure I didn't jump the gun, I backed out brought up GPS and bam in less than five seconds GPS fully loaded. Battery life is great, stability is wonderful, and all on ICS. Of course I long press the back button to kill all non essential apps too save battery and ram. Also while using titanium backup, I double check to ensure I'm not restoring any system apps and data from previous roms, because that can bring on irritating problems.
Tricked out Galaxy S 4G. Think before you speak, and for Christ sakes, read before you write!

I went back to Gingerbread... then I went back and flash CM 9.1!
But I'm getting bored on Ice Cream Sandwich, it's great and all but don't you sometimes miss the older android versions, I sure do miss Froyo even though it had horrible bloatware *ahem* DoubleTwist *ahem*, Gingerbread was great too but I was expecting the Gingerbread launcher not some crappy TouchWiz.
