Hi,
First post, be kind, I'm just wondering if you can use a Kernel such as Matr1x with the newly released ICS 4.0.4 stock rom ?
I still think battery life on this is pretty bad - I'm thinking this could make a difference if possible to do.
If you have any hints / ideas - would be most welcome.
It's driving me crazy - a charge over night then a charge about 3pm ... I think is a little excessive.
My phone is rooted.
Thanks to you people
Yes you can. download the kernel, reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache and then flash the kernel

Maybe. I didnt try matrix kernel 18.5. But the chance that the battery life increases is very high. Also depends on your usage.
And your welcome

I'm using Matr1x 18.5 and it definitely seems to be better battery life..

... I have just installed 17.5 ... not going to be a big difference is there?
Thanks for confirming what I thought would be a good call to use the Matr1x Kernel
Its a newer kernel base .26 vs .22 on the kernel your running the main reason I changed to 18.5 is swap was taken out and fast charge was added.. if neither of those matter to you I don't think there's any huge differences...

I shall see how I go with the 17.5, easy to change round ... cheers for your comments.
The ability to change your governors and IO schedulers should help battery life.
I've been using the combo for a bit over a day now and the battery is pretty great when on WiFi. About 5-7% per hour of screen on time and playing games like Temple Run or Boost 2
It will help! Use the CFS version. That tends to be a bit more stable. next, get and app called NStools. Set your min speed to 200, and max to 800. Then set the liveOC to 105. On the first page at the bottom tap it and pick noop. Set govorner to smartassV2.
I get a day and half with this setup (On CNA 1.6)

If you don't mind me asking...what does the live oc actually does?

Also when I put my charger in the phone switches off then tries to restart... any ideas?
Set LiveOC to 100% or raise the voltages. Do the former if you havn't played with voltages before.

I haven't tweaked anything .. phone restarted from normal settings... the phone runs really well with good battery life on the Matr1x Kernel .. soon as u put the charger in .. the phone goes to restarting ... which it won't until you take charger out ... very annoying ....... any remedy?

Are you using the stock charger? mine does the same thing if I plug it into a blackberry charger.
May I suggest getting a stand alone battery charger and an extra battery or two and then you will never have to plug the charger into your phone again.

All this for extended battery life!! Yes using the stock charger ... frustrating because it seems to go unstable when the power goes in... I have to take charger out before it will come back alive!

Right I've upgraded to Matr1x 18.5 ... Turned frequencies to 300 to 1300 and the governer to performance .. plugged charger in... staying stable right now .. possible fix when charging
me used samsung charger for 2days...it was 1.5 hrs to fully charge previously..now not taking more than 5hours..and phone is extremely(so so high temperature on back) hot after 5mts of charging..can anyone help out of this..me was on hyperion rom and now installed ics 3d theme recently..?
check voltage ratings..
Read the real3d ics thread and you ll see why that happens.
You probably havent changed your boot sounds and your cpu works at 50% all the time
I can not turn the phone without a charger, the charger when the phone switches itself on, or use the default ROM V21a GB with Titan kernel, module clocked at 1400,I think this is the best combinationwhich is proven by benchmark tests (ANTUTU 6822,Quadrant 3852)Please problem is very inconvenient...
sorry for bad english
my fit overheat when i charge if wifi tether on
Thats normal, tethering DRAIN so much battery because data connection always on and connected also you charge your phone. Thats can make your phone really hot. Try to little underlock your phone if you use custom kernel or rom.

have you edit the CPU settings on system control or something like that ??

welcome to the limitations of our device.. found this way back....wifi tethering, charging , etc. does warm up the ferrari:laugh: galaxy pop and galaxy y too hv this problem...install scripts adrenaline or turbocharger,, which may reduce this prob to some extent...
Hello Dear XDA Users, I have been using this phone since it first came out in 2013, I only noticed this problem 2 years ago where the battery drains incredibly fast I have to charge it only 30 min after using it I also noticed that, and just after a 10min use, the area around the camera at the back becomes so hot you can't hold it (exceeds 80 degrees) I've resorted to changing the battery but it just added a new problem which is that the battery percentage when it hits 40% suddenly drops to 0%.
Specs :
Stock TW Rom 4.4.2
Root
De-Bloated
Stock Kernel.
Note: I Use Always A lot of social media apps and wifi is enabled all time.
