Do you have screen flicker all the time or was it just a one time thing? Give the less version a shot. That's what it's for. Some phones just can't handle the aggressive undervolt. Trust me, what little battery savings you might get between more and less aggressive undervolting are not worth a non-functioning phone.
Are you saying you're using a screen-off profile? You shouldn't be using profiles with HAVS/smartass.
Otherwise, I've only had lag with turning the screen on with a 128 min. By the time you turn the screen off, that profile shouldn't be active anymore. But like I said, that was a non-HAVS kernel.

No, I don't have any profiles set. I just have the min/max cpu settings changed under the smartass setting
Try less aggressive, and see if it still does it.
Gotcha, sorry, I misunderstood. You shouldn't have any issues with 245 min. That's the default, and what I have set. Are you seeing lag when you turn the screen back on?
You should always wipe cache/dalvik when flashing a different kernel - even something that similar. If absolutely nothing else, it certainly can't hurt.

Yeah it takes a few seconds for the screen to respond to my selection. I tried upping it and it seems more responsive.
Interesting. Are/were you overclocking/underclocking? I think your phone might just not like aggressive HAVS in general (or you just had the max too low).
Great
. I'm glad that works for you. You'll still be able to take advantage of the battery savings of HAVS, it just won't be undervolting quite as much.

Yes, I am. I have the max at 1152 and min at 245 with the less havs kernel. I gotta say its seems more responsive all around. I guess my phone didnt like the aggressive undervolting.
Yep, sounds like it.

It's not necessary w/ the smartass governor but you can. If you do set 245/245 for min/max......I use the kernel in my sig, which is no havs and I experience amazing battery life.

Thanks! I went with that same kernel in your sig. We'll see how it goes.

You know what, I haven't ran this kernel w/o having the screen off profile....I'm assuming I may see something similar but if you want to see a glimpse of how my battery holds up, go to page 2 in this thread. I posted a couple of screen shots of how my battery is doing in juice plotter.
You really don't need one with the smartass governor. It should way underclock on its own without a profile.

KiNgx bfs 9 worked pretty good too but anytime I would overclock above 1036-1075, it would become unstable for me.....It worked best w/o setCPU on my phone.

So far I have Kings bfs 9 overclocked to 1159 without any problems. Its been consistently giving me quadrant scores over 1500. The battery life isn't as good as I had hoped. I set a screen off profile. We'll see how it goes.
