Setcpu for infused

Do any of you guys use it on your infused? I have it and would like to use it but I've read a few things were setcpu doesn't doing anything with a custom rom. Id like to get all I can out of my battery.

Most of us who are using infusion (available in the dev section) are using voltage control, pretty much the same thing in a different app but it seems to play nicer with said kernel

I'm using SetCPU with the Infusion kernel as it's the first app I paid for, and I feel weird about switching apps right after I paid for one.
Man it's so confusing to have the Infused ROM and Infusion kernel.

What's the difference between infused and infusion? I'm going to a redsox game next week via bus trip and really need to maximize battery.

For using Voltage Control u need to update the kernel. The default supplied one does not allow to use the Voltage Control app available in market (tried just now to make sure).

Infused is a ROM and Infusion is a kernel. Both can be found in the Infuse 4G development page. I've noticed a battery increase with Infused, just make sure you do it a day or two before you leave to get the most out of your battery. Details are in the forum.

Infused is an alternative ROM which eliminates a lot of AT&T bloat. Some of the things it eliminates are notorious battery hogs. It contains a kernel with mild improvements from stock.
Infusion is an alternate kernel that introduces extra improvements from the Community Voodoo kernel included with Infused, including undervolting and overclocking. Undervolting can improve your battery life at the risk of stability impacts if you UV too much, OC will sacrifice battery for the sake of performance.
You can install the Infusion kernel over the Infused ROM.
Note: If you are in an area with weak cell signal, your battery life is going to be crud no matter what you do unless you go into airplane mode.

Thanks for the great reply. I'm at work over 9hrs per day and when I'm in the actual building my phone bounces between 1 bar edge, 1 bar 3g and no service. If I keep the phone still on my desk it'll be all set but once I start walking around here comes no service.
Is the kernal werth installing? I know its a junk question. And can someone link or pm me the instructions. Thanks.

Are you rooted and have 3e recovery? If not, just jump over to the development section and read the root instructions and 3e instructions.
There is a great guide in the thread for the Infused ROM on how to go from rooted+3e -> custom rom, in the original post.

Hey guys...just a reminder....setcpu is free for xda members
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
by all means support the dev....but for those who did not know.
I use it....mainly for overclocking though. Have not really messed with undervolting yet

Yes I'm rooted and I've been running infused rom for a few weeks now. I just really need to maximize my battery. My phone has been off the charger from a full charge for less than an hour and I'm down to 87%, btw I've used my phone for about 15 of the total 60 minutes it's been off the charger.

Really, time to empty is what you need to pay attention to. Our fuel gauge seems to be a bit wacky, sometimes it can drop 10% in an hour, then it'll drop 10% over the following 4 under the same workload. I think the drain isn't actually changing, just the display of state of charge.
As an example, at one point yesterday I dropped 10% in an hour with the screen off for nearly all of it. Then I threw it on the charger and regained 9% in 20 minutes - even with my tweaked charge current it NEVER does that. I think what happened is that the original 10% drop was bogus, I got it back so fast because it was never really gone to begin with.

Help with Roms, Karnels, Etc..

ok so i got my charge 2 days ago and am rooted with Gingerbread leak,
so i have some questions.
First: is there roms for gingerbread? because i couldn't find any.
Second: what kernels are there for GB? can i use PBJ?
Third: now ever since i got the phone it drains batter pretty quick with everything off. and hardly using it maybe about 20% per hour. i tried undervolting with Setcpu but wasn't successful, so what app do you guys recommend to undervolt the charge? or any guides to do so?
thanks,

Check out the development section. Gummy Charged GBE is great

I did, thanks for the reply. now i have voodoo and on the recovery sais enable 100mhv something like that. is that so i would get more battery?

You can't undervolt on gb because its a leak meaning no kernel source.
I think setcpu will let you underclock which would give better battery life but reduce performance considerably.

Whenever you change roms, you should calibrate your battery. It works wonders

You need to return to stock, then fresh Odin GummyCharged GBE 1.9RC2.3 if you want Gingerbread as it's really the only modified Gingerbread rom. Eclipse is available, but i'm not sure if the dev still supports it or not. The quick battery drain is something that goes along with the fact Gingerbread is a leak. GummyCharged team has done a wonderful job with minimizing this drain. I have found it actually has better battery life than Froyo. That's just my personal experience.

Best battery life with custom rom/kernel

Suggestions? I currently use cm7 151 with faux's oc/uv 0.4.2 kernel. Not really happy with battery life, only get about 7 hours with moderate use. I have great signal everywhere I go.

How heavy is your usage and how long does the battery last?

I'm going to give EB 2.2 a try seeing as it's new with faux's kernel and hopefully have a better time with it then last time.
Hope to post back with good results battery-wise.

I get about 12 hours with Eagleblood and the kernal it comes with. I use setCPU to lower the clock speed when the screen is off. I can use the phone at work for most of my 10 hour shift listening to music and browsing facebook or other apps that use data on my lunch and breaks along with texting a lot throughout my shift.

I know this thread is about batt life, but what about games are there any rom / kernel combos that make games look and run better?
I'm using xboarders stock debloated and tweaked rom with stck kernel and I also get about 12 hours of light to moderate use in a day.
fauxs kernel causes my phone to black screen and shut off some times.

im using EB 2.2 Faux 4.2 the one that dose no OC or UV and it took me 8 hours of super heavy usage trying to waist my battery for me to drain it hope this helps

My solution is My custom overlay on cm7 nightly 158 with faux123's cm7 kernel STANDARD VOLTAGE with setcpu tuning it down to the second to lowest voltage when the screen goes off. My battery lasts about 35 hours!!!! I know this because I took an overnight trip.

best phone i have ever had. came from a dinc. at first it is huge. now the dinc is tiny and my Tbolt is perfect. and the battery life is comprable. if you govern the wifi and the mobile radios it isn't bad. you made a great choice with the bolt. we have miui now and soon to have some ishe-cream sandwich. these are exciting times.

Use the latest radio 1.48.00.0609w_1, 0.01.76.0609w_2.
Sense or aosp, I suggest imoyesons leankernel or jdkoreclipes kernel. They both make sense and aosp kernels and both are top notch.

Love mine, though I have very poor GPS performance and so-so battery life when I first got it in the April timeframe. Since then, the various ROMs have improved it to the point that I don't even care what's coming out now. I'm running BAMF SoaB 1.03 with the latest radio and it's great.

Soab is an awesome Rom. It's what inspired me to port stock runnymede.
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt powered by KillaSense 3.5.0

I came from a Droid X and can say that the Thunderbolt is a better phone. I have a few annoyances with it but mainly how it works or doesn't work with Ford Sync. The battery is depressing but I don't want the bulky extended battery. I have Juice Defender on it now and that has helped immensely through the day. I had 54% left on my battery after 8 hours at work with light usage. Before that I was at below 30% after 4 hours. I may still get an extended battery just for when I travel, but this works for me around town.

where would I find soab? Looked everywhere
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Google it. You need to go on a BAMF forum. I dont think they post here.

oh, thats what I tried. Ill google it again

in short, what setup would provide best battery life based off experience amongst thunderbolt users?

Start with the SOAB with the stock kernel, so that you have a baseline then you can try Adr's test 3 or Imo's kernel to see if they make much a difference or not.
I don't think you will get a definitive answer without trying each out on your own phone and objectively seeing which one works best for you and your particular phone.
Good luck.

I agree. Ive been around android for three years and what works best for me does not for everyone else. I was looking for an experienced based answer. The bolt I bought already has soab on it.

Gotcha. I'm using SOAB with Adr's test 3 kernel. Works great for me because I can overclock now, but battery life is about the same as it was with the stock package SOAB kernel.

I've been getting great battery life on SoaB, starting with 1.02 and now on 1.03 since it was released and the kernel that comes with it. Prior to that I was using Eaton GTP, the Froyo build, and it gets phenomenal battery life. Can't wait for them to get their Gingerbread build with Sense 3.5.

if you want insane battery life on soab flash the ziggy kernel beta one and set cpu low to the lowest setting andturn off gps and wifi and mobile antennas when not using them. i was getting 2% drop per hour this way. i went from 8 am to 8:30 pm with no charging and still had 72% battery life left also i overclocked to 1.2.
right now i am on miui wich is sick once they fix the mms it will be amazing. but i am using advanced task killer set to automatically kill apps when the screen turns off and green battery to do the same with the wifi and mobile anteannas.

The rom I'm using right now is Eaglesblood build 2.8 which is GB 2.3.7. I get pretty decent battery life just using the kernal that is built into it normally. I was having a few problems with HFP 2.1 so I switched to this and haven't looked back. Even though it isn't the most recent I still feel like its the best, just my opinion though.

I have got the best battery life so far with Eagles blood GB as well. HFS v1.5 is giving me ok battery life but EGB gave me double time as this ROM

Try them out, read the threads to see common issues and things that work well. Stop asking everyone here to do that little bit of work for you.
XDA is not your personal slave, we should not, and will not spoon feed you. Look around, spend more then 2 minutes looking at the first post. If you put in a good effort, people will be willing to help you, but just constantly asking for which ROM is just lazy.
You did not answer the question of whether you put the phone in airplane mode, you have not said any of the ROMs you've tried (other than all of them, which I doubt). At least pretend to give a ****...
Search!!!! there are tons of threads on how to increase battery life

? I don't think you give a **** because if you read my post you would of known that I'd have tried eb ics and gb, and hellfire ics and gb rom, and i've actually spent hours reading pages in the roms topic and other places, and I forgot to answer that question, my answer is no I don't even have a simcard in the phone for it to be searching for service and enabling it would stop wifi which is what I do use.

You can put the phone into Airplane mode and then enable WiFi. Even though you don't have a Sim install it can still try to search for a network and drain the battery. It will need a network without a Sim to be able to call 911 if needed.

I don't think its necessarily the stock kernal. It's the one that is built in to Eaglesblood GB. Also try to follow this guide, it seemed to help my battery life. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054420 I did get around 30 hours on that charge but it varies quite a bit depending on usage. I always get a full day of moderate use though. Try switching to Eaglesblood GB and follow that guide to 20 hour battery life and see if it helps. If not, your battery could just be old/bad. Hope this helps!

Yeah i tried the eaglesblood rom and wasn't too impressed. Im sure that it was good for performance, however i immediately missed the customization with cm7 (adw launcher) and the themes that came with it. after i have flashed the faux123 kernel on here with cm7, im happy to say my battery life is incredible. i fished all day yesterday and listened to music while texting a bit and making a few phone calls. was out for about 10 hours and had only used 40% of my battery. so for anyone looking for a good cm7 kernel, the faux has been the best i have found yet
