Hi, first to defend myself, I did search and found that everybody says good things for every kernel. So every kernel is best for Stock ICS?
I got confused. Yes I'am total noob and recently learned how to root and flash custom rom's.
I just want to hear your opinion for best kernel running on Stock ICS.
I need kernel that is good for the battery but also snappy for the system. I don't play games and I use my phone for calls, reading news, working on excel files, google maps, mail and taking pictures.
My phone is Nexus S GT-I9020T on Wind network.
IMO ezekeel kernels
Has lats of featured including voodoo color

Thank you. Is this kernel stable?
Im just trying to set it up as we speak, will let you know how stable it appears once I figure it out
Stuck on trying to flash an unsecure boot image at the moment.
*shrugs* The stock kernel?
Unless you want the functions third party kernels bring to the table, I don't see a good enough reason to swap the stock kernel for another.
That's what I was thinking. With Glados kernel I had problems with restarting after the screen turns of, also with Matr1x kernel. Also I read that there are restarting issues with IMO ezekeel kernels. Yes I know that probably the most stable it's the stock kernel, but there is problem with battery, I had more juice with GB and CMD 7. That's why Google paused ICS update on Nexus. But probably I will stick with Stock Kernel because for me it's better to have less battery for now instead random restarts. I hate when my phone it's not in perfect state.
Just managed to get ezekeels CFS on there and I get the reboot bug after going to standby.
Looking for updates but the thread is huge. Yet to try BFS.

You can try and turn off deep idle for your reboots.
Solves the problem 99% of the time (totally made up stat that could actually be true)
But actualy that function (deep idle) it's the most impotant thing in the kernel. It gives more battery time. Other thing are just fancy. More battery and no hickups, I dont need overclocking because I dont play games.

Deep idle gives more battery time under certain conditions (screen off but not completely idle, playing music for instance). It won't really give you more battery time if your phone is actually idle with the screen off.
But according to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297535 I understood differently. Maybe you are right, I'am still noob to all of this.

The first post that you linked actually just confirms what I said.
Ezekeel said:
Since this is just theory and Morfic noted that his experience seems to indicate otherwise and that limiting the CPU frequency does actually decrease the battery drain, I put this theory to the test and logged the battery charge over 10h of FLAC playback in Airplane mode with the screen switched off.

1) Playing FLAC (not idle)
2) Screen off
Pre-requisites are met.
So as I understood the battery consumption is reduced only if you listen music, because you can't do anything else when the screen is off. And the deep idle is working only in standby mode (screen off).

Deep idle only shows savings if there is tasks running while the screen is off VS the same situation without deep idle.
So for someone doing commuting (like simms22 for example) and listening to music for around an hour, they'll lose less battery with deep idle than without.
You won't actually save battery if your phone is actually idle with deep idle enabled.
It's not some kind of magical function that makes your phone use less battery doing tasks with the screen on, deep idle disables certain components of the phone while executing tasks with the screen off, instead of having it "at full speed" as if the screen was on.
Now I understood. Thank you very much.

No problem. I think Deep Idle is probably the mod by Ezekeel surrounded by the most misconceptions.
Most new users want it absolutely but don't seem to know why.
On His Glados kernel I noticed that Android OS was using 20%-21% of the battery and on the stock kernel 30%-31%.
Android System was using around 14% and on the stock around 19%.
Ok, have you decided to give the Glados 2.2 another go? I believe I have finally tweaked it so that it is stable for me.
Before I was getting restarts within 30 seconds of the screen turning off. I have cornered this (on my phone at least) to a problem with NSTools auto-setting the lower frequency to 100mhz. Changing it back to 200mhz and I have yet to see the system restart itself. Im not overclocked, because I dont see the point as everything is fairly snappy with this new kernel. I dont really play games on it so Im not fussed.
I did used NSTools and the frequency was set to 200mhz and I had system restarting on screen off. Using stock ICS with Glados 2.2
Also I had green annoying flickr on locking and unlocking the screen.

Yes, yesterday while watching a flash video stream, mine shut down due to heating issues. The tablet was running fine for more than an hour, and then it rebooted. I had external power connected and left the tablet stayed on permanent for that hour.

I've had my A700 for 2 weeks now, both on 4.0.4 and now on 4.1.1 and haven't experienced any issue with overheating.
I do notice the spot where processors sits, it warms up compared to the rest of the tablet, however it is definitely not annoying...
When using the processor more extensively by playing a game or watching video it warms up, but no reboots or anything. Actually, I'm very impressed with the stability of 4.1.1, blazingly fast! (Only Chrome has an issue, it seems to have a bug making it rather slow...)

On my A700, System Tuner Pro reports ~ 20 deg F lower cpu temps - sometimes more - depending on the task(s) performed. While the back still gets warm to the touch, it has made a big positive impact IMHO.
As always, your results may vary.

This is not for the faint of heart.....
I flashed Clemsyns 1.9 Ghz kernel this morning and it has cut boot times down by about 15s, I am able to cold boot in less than 30s. I know this kernel isnt working for everyone, however, just thought Id mention it is working very well for me so far. Didnt need it for lag as that was gone with the 1.5-1.8 kernel, but it is worth it for the boot improvement, which was my only gripe with this device. In a truly mobile productivity device boot times SHOULD be less than 30s.
Will report later today after more stress tests and temperature checks.
Oh ya, I am running CleanROM Inheritance 3.0.4, fsync disabled, scroll cache disabled, and force GPU rendering.
Cant wait to see how this flies after Data2SD Mod (cant apply until i get back home to Halifax - East coast represent)

Good call, I forgot that most ppl would be interested in the battery drain.
I was fully charged before flashing new kernel, I have used for over 4 hrs, been doing heavy browsing, stress tests, and benchmark tests....all in performance mode.....im at 67% dock, 76% tablet...I keep screen brightness around 20%-25%. Havent noticed any more drain than usual.
Ran a benchmark test in balanced mode and got the same results as I used to get with 1.5-1.8 Ghz/700 GPU kernel....if you are worried about stressing your system leave it in balanced and switch to performance mode when needed.
Troo that overclock to 1.9 is a battery killer.
Have to say I didn't stay on it very long

That sucks I havent seen much of a battery hit at all. For the past 2 hrs ive left it in balanced mode and there is no diff b/w 1.5-1.8 kernel at 1450mV. I didnt use the 1400 mV kernel for very long bc i didnt notice any battery improvement, maybe the 1400 mV kernel is much better, are you using 1400 mV kernel?
Ive been using my tab for 5 hrs in performance and 2 hrs in balanced and im still at 33% dock and 87% tablet. Thats essentially the same as it used to be, should get at least get a full day of heavy use, especially considering I have been running stress tests, benchmarks, and repeated cold boots to make sure its up to snuff.
The screen and wifi are the biggest battery consumers, overclocking from 1.5-1.8 to 1.9 shouldnt hit battery too much.
maybe
maybe the 1.9 isnt kicking in, maybe try playing some shadowgun or something to see ur battery time,

I dont have any games. Games are cool, I just dont play them, and will never put a game on my tablet lol. I really cant say how battery would be affected by this kernel when gaming.
You might be wondering why I even bother with this kernel if I do not game. Well, my good sir, I happen to be a performance junkie, and cant stand lag of any sort lol. Multitasking is what i focus on, this tab has replaced all my other devices, and am happy to say my workflow is smoother and faster.
From my personal use I think the kernal rocks! I have used it before and just went to it again recently. The only reason I switched was because the Rom I used didnt have the option to install that Kernal and I was too lazy to flash it again. On a regular everyday use I keep it in balanced mode and really dont see a hit in battery. I personally only saw a little bit of battery drain in gaming however in the graphic and CPU heavy games there was battery drain anyways. I can deal with plugging it in more to get more performance out of my tab. I am one of those people that has 5 home screens, ones dedicated to all of my games and its fully filled with 6 different folders each containing atleast 10 more games. This would definitely slow down my tablet however with this Kernal its different. I also get around the same results in quadrant 7436 to be exact.I do see a temp increase but its not too large so I can deal with it.
Over all I think its the best Kernal out right now hands down.
Just curious - why do you even power-off your device to begin with? Normally, "mobile devices" are meant to be on always-on anyway, so I just don't see why the cold-boot time is such a big deal. The device goes into a deep-sleep state when in standby with very little power drain, which pretty much eliminates the need to constantly power off and back on the begin with.
Do you really completely power-off your device on a regular basis?
Again, just curious - obviously, that's completely up to you...
Personally, I only reboot my TF700 when flashing kernels and/or ROM's - otherwise it's always on. That way you never have to wait for it to boot!

I don't think the boot time has nothing to do with 1.8 or 1.9 kernel, my cold boot is about 22 sec. They should be about the same depended on how many app services you have running on your device.

I cold boot all the friggin time lol just my personal preference. It feels snappier after cold boot and I am constantly deleting stuff and trying new things/setups/setting configurations to eek out more performance, after each change I cold boot to get an accurate assessment of the changes that I have made. Lately ive been spending several hours a day trying to improve tab, which has meant a lot of cold boots. For the past few weeks ive spent more time optimizing and assessing this tab than acually using it, kind of nuts, i know lol, but i really enjot it and im off school right now and my hometown is in the middle of nowhere, less than 100 ppl live in my town lol. I normally shut down before bed, and do another cold boot after I finish classes around 7, boot time matters to me.
Oh and I will not charge this thing if it is on, I figure that draining the battery (no matter how little) while charging cant be good for its life long term.

I honestly dont know if it should or shouldnt, all i know is that i was booting in about 40s-45s before flashing 1.9 kernel, now i boot in 30s, Ive seen results by doing this. I time my boot times with stopwatch on my phone, i monitor everything going on in this tablet very heavily. Every time i change anything i like to be able to assess its overall impact on performance.
I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but it does kinda make sense. I am seeing what "appears" to be a pretty solid increase in battery life during browsing and bulk transfers. I was able to download 3.5gb of data over wifi at about 1MB/s (around 1hr of nonstop transfer, data for Horn and NOVA3) and only knock off 17% of the battery with only 2bars. I am currently at 3:35/5:47 screen-on for the day and still have 68% left. The nonstop pulling is worse than regular browsing, and at this pace getting to the 8hrs of browsing seems like an actual possibility. As I am running on Balance with CleanROM 3.4.4 at the moment, switching to powersave could probably eek out addition gains.
IF YOU BLOW SOMETHING UP DO NOT BLAME ME...ETC ETC ETC
If anyone wants to check this out, and see if it's just fluke, here is what I have tried.
..pre-post revision...I started out doing the changes manually via terminal, but found some resources on XDA and the play store to make it a bit easier, so I am linking that stuff instead. A user has a pretty good guide for the Thunderbolt that I retested with and it works fine.
Just follow the steps here Solved: WiFi TXpower app error issue with missing iwconfig file to get the iwconfig file, and the links for the WIFI TXpower app.
I used Root explorer, so renaming the iwconfig.txt, moving it to xbin, and changing perms was trivial. As for WIFI Txpower, I have been running on 4db(398 DBM) with no really noticeable problems. I imagine it may have a steeper dropoff based on distance, but the plastic strip on the TF700 really fixed the range issue.
..UPDATE: I have noticed that when you turn the device on after a wifi sleep event, it seems to come back up full blast. So my estimates may be off by quite a bit, as I didn't check it between downloads and browsing sessions. Tom make the settings stick, there may need to be some modifications to the init scripts. I just wanted to get this info into the hands of more people to poke at, and determine if this is something worth adding to Aroma for our TF700 roms.
Day one with lots of power switching back to lower levels. Balanced mode with stock _that at interactive + row. Auto brightness.

Thanks for reporting this -- and thanks for trying.
Which interface name does it report in your case -- I get a wlan0 interface name instead of the eth0 reported in the original thread. I just picked wlan0, as it stays there even if I pick "Auto".
EDIT: I used Root Explorer succesfully -- no trouble remounting /system as R/W, so the one fluke I found may reside in the original thread.
Yes, it should be wlan0 for the wireless. The biggest problem is that after the interface goes to sleep (screen timeout), it will come back up at full burn, and you have to turn it down again. It will need to be cook into the ifup scripts to make it survive.

Yes I think we really just need to call true power via dbm to be accurate. The wifi power app was a quick way for people to validate what I was experiencing. I want to do some more playing around over the weekend and maybe a mod for cleanrom to handle the sleep issue. I am seeing a pretty significant drop in power drain while browsing and doing anything with wifi. I am having to force usage patterns to drain the battery versus just firing up a browser or online game.

You can use the command line to change the parameters. Use "iwconfig wlan0 txpower 1"to get down to 100dbm. Which works great as lo g as you are near the router.
"iwconfig wlan0 txpower 15" brings you back to 1496dbm

It currently resets on (at least wifi) sleep, so you shouldn't be seeing any improvement unless you kept your poor 700 awake all those 24 hours.
The criterion is the "screen on" time, which may well be longer with the mod in place and active. Don't forget to activate it every time you wake up the 700.
I'm not sure when it was incorporated, but I know the 'Wi-Fi optimization' option in the advanced Wi-Fi settings effectively does this dynamically. If I recall correctly, it showed up after the last stable release but I've certainly noticed a big difference in battery life since I keep my Wi-Fi on always.. and no need to iwconfig depending on how much traffic you're planning on pushing! Anyway, it would be under Settings -> Wi-Fi -> (Menu) -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi optimization and that seems to do the same sort of thing and takes into consideration some of the weird PM issues related to the hotspot AP code. Just my two cents though..

The Wi-Fi optimization option is not available in stock roms. I think that this is essentially what the non-Asus roms are doing with their wifi. The problem is that none of the non-Asus roms have made it to the 100% functionality mark, compared to something like CleanROM. If the day arises that they do, I would drop the stock rom in a NY minute, but until then, they are not complete replacements for me.
That being said, will you conserve power via wifi when running a aosp rom with these adjustments, probably not, but the aosp roms have never given me the battery life of CleanROM to begin with so it balanced out. I am having no problems breaking 8hrs screen on time with a stock rom and wifi adjustments.

No disrespect intended, but I doubt it is zero. It may be minimal and contingent on usage, which is why the feature is available in aosp roms. I doubt this is the optimal way of using it. What I can say is with my usage patterns I was getting an average of about 5-6hrs absolute tops on balanced with stock _ that kernel and auto brightness, and now I can normally get over 7of heavy browsing consistently.

Whether it is 0 or 1% doesn't really matter for me. What matters is that is practically has no impact. I tried on 2 transformers now (one with CROMI and one with stock).
So it would be interesting to see the difference and see why your prime has significant power savings and others not
Unless there is some movement I will throw iwconfig from my tablets.
Anyway, thanks for trying.

I'm not using a Prime this is the TF700 Infinity forums. And feel free to toss it from your tablet though every other none stock rom includes it for a reason. If you have nothing further to add other than "my smartassv2 cfq hundkernel undervolted overclocked device doesn't magically have 10hrs of screen on time", please dismiss yourself from this thread. All devices are not made equal, and maybe your particular device(s) are not effected by these changes.
What is a fact is that different people have different experiences with these devices, some perform better than others in different situations. What I can state is that I am able to consistently get over the previous 6hr average, with my specific device, by babysitting the txpower.
I posted this information FYI and YMMV, so can we just leave it at that. If it is irrelevant, and doesn't work for anyone, the thread will age off of the page by itself. Thanks
Welp, that escalated quickly.
Hello!
Could anybody share his experience while using CM11 and share his battery consumption values (how much time phone can live without recharge)?
According my personal arbitrary opinion CM11 for Relay is wasting battery enormously! If using actively and extensively I should recharge battery almost in 6-10 hours. If in more light mode - in 20-24 hours. I think this is abnormal.

Define how you are using the device. Is this a wake lock issue or is the device draining "too fast" when you are using it? How is your device configured? Is GPS on all the time? What applications are installed?
What kernel are you using? Did you do a clean install? Are you dirty flashing between CM11 and the Liquid rom?
The possibilities are limitless.
On the stock battery, an OpenGL stress test takes 3:40 (three hours and forty minutes) to completely exhaust a full charge. That's on the official CM11, clean installed, max brightness, interactive governor, with good network signal, GPS disabled, gapps installed, and no spyware apps (like Facebook) on my device.
The screen should be your number one power consumer and you should be getting about 4 hours of real world "screen on time" out of a charge on the official CM11. At least, that is my experience.

Define how you are using the device. Is this a wake lock issue or is the device draining "too fast" when you are using it? How is your device configured? Is GPS on all the time? What applications are installed?
What kernel are you using? Did you do a clean install? Are you dirty flashing between CM11 and the Liquid rom?

No this is not wake lock. I'm facing that while actively using the phone. In the idle mode it can work up to 24 hours and maybe more.

No, I use GPS rarely. Almost never.
My apps are listed on this screenshot.

Thus this OpenGL test result can be a mesaurement standard for me? If my result is less then some settings are wrong?

Okay, I'll measure my screen up time.

Could you please clarify what OpenGL test you mean? Give its link in Googple Play

I just modify existing code to make a quick and dirty stress test. I'm not sending you my app or source.
There is a useful test that you can repeat easily. Build a video playlist in your favorite player of files that you have on a cloud service. Loop the playlist and let the device stream video until the battery dies.
