1.1Ghz WOW! I had mine up to 1Ghz last night and it rebooted itself. Right before it rebooted the temp was up to 146, so I figured the temp did it. I only had pandora and a live wallpaper running.

I've been running P3 1.2Ghz and while its very fast and stable for me, its been getting really hot really fast. After about 10 minutes of web browsing its burning hot. Even when charging it and not using it, it gets alarmingly hot.

I'm flashing the jdlfg 7x1100sv now, just because the link for the 1200lv seems to be down. Hoping for P3's performance with cooler temps.

Edit: The jdlfg 7x1100sv gave me random reboots and froze during the boot animation. I have since switched to the Chevy 7x1200 ulv it seems to be working great so far. Battery life seems ok and temps are staying low, but the same wifi issue does remain. If i forget the network, I can no longer connect to it. Otherwise, seems like a good kernel so far.

Wireless working w/the Chevy kernels on BB/Fab ROM?
Click to expand...
Yes, on both. On BB without theme, WiFi connects to new networks and everything. On NexBeast v0.1, my WiFi works for remembered networks, but won't connect to new -- both on the Chevy kernel.
 
I've had chevy's ULV 1.25 kernal on my phone for about 9 hours. Right when I installed it, I ramped it upto 1250 max and 1250 min to run some bench marks. I never put it back to normal! It's been running at a full 1250 for over 9 hours and I'm at around 60% according to the battery % in the status bar!

What are the voltage differences between p3 and chevy?
 
Fab's got a fix for wireless that he's evidently going to post today. :)

In any case, wireless is already working for me on both P3Droid 1.0GHz 250 min and Chevy 1.0GHz LV kernel...getting somewhat better SetCPU short benchmarks on Chevy's (just under 200 as opposed to 215-225) Quadrant and Linpack scores are the same (15.5 Linpack, 1250 Quadrant).

Temps look like they might be a little cooler on Chevy's as well, but we really need CPU temp monitoring to be sure. Using Fab's themed Bugless Beast Froyo.
 
Running BD's Foryo beta with Chevy's .250-1.0 LV kernel. Real smooth, real quick. Google earth doesn't freeze when I pan & tilt, etc.
What other benchmark testing do people use (besides pi calc, etc)?
 
Any of these kernels support wifi tether? I am currently using Chevy's ultra low voltage but can't get tether to work.

Quadrant, there is a thread of peoples scores.
 
Ok, I got a question, this is a noob question, but I figured I'd ask and save someone else the trouble...
If you flash a froyo kernal, and the new baseband, if you ever decide to go back to 2.1, will you keep the same kernal and/or baseband or will u have to change them as well after flashing said 2.1 rom?

You can keep the baseband, because it is independent of the ROM (I actually updated my baseband to the latest while I was still running 2.1, without any problems). However, you will need to change your kernel to one that is compatible with 2.1.

Which brings me to my next question, if you decide to go back to stock and for some reason had to return your Droid, wouldn't they know you messed with it by the updated baseband? Because just swapping roms does not change this..

flashing an sbf file does change your baseband though. I would always recommend an sbf flash before returning a phone to vzw. Its the best way to ensure they have no idea you rooted.

i have been running chevy's ULV1000 kernel all day with no problem. it runs cool and quick. and so far battery life is amazing.
Click to expand...


Update: after using this kernel for a full day i can say my battery life is insanely good. if your phone can handle an ultra low voltage kernel i highly recomend this one. my phone runs cool and fast at 1000mhz and after taking it off the charger at 7:05am i still have 90% battery as of 1:22pm and that is with a few calls, several emails, some web browsing and the normal "i am bored let me look at my phone stuff"
 
I didn't read much below the OP, but two things.
Can this be stickied as many of us need resources like this coming from 2.1 to 2.2.

Also - anyone notice a difference in battery, performance, etc versus the P3?

P3Droid's 2.2 ghz kernel crashes my droid :(

I am using Fab's rom based off of the stock froyo kernel, not Pete's, so maybe that is why. I will wait until Pete releases his epicnesss and then decide if it is the kernel or the rom.
 
I've had rebooting issues in the past with anything over 1GHz. At that time, there were few choices and it seemed either your phone could handle it or it couldn't. Now there are a lot more choices so I don't know if there's a 1.XX GHz kernel out there that'll work with my Droid & the ROM I'm running. But I've since found that 1 GHz is plenty for me. Earth is my most intense app, and it runs well. (I've had laptops with faster running processors and a lesser screen choke on Google Earth.)

My battery was draining pretty fast this weekend for having SetCPU all set up, but it's hard to tell because I'm obvioulsy playing with the phone much more since the new installation of the Froyo ROM. (BD's Froyo beta + Chevy's LV 1.0GHz kernel)
Last night I installed Chevy's ULV 1.0GHz kernel to try out for battery longevity. I'll treat the phone like a usual day is for me, which is checking mail in the background and playing with it during lunch hour. At some point I'll try to max out the CPU to see if it shuts down. I'll post my results here before trying Chevy's 1.1 ULV.
 
Chevy 1.2 ULV
30 minutes of use + 9.5 hours of standby = 70% battery left.
WOW

My JuiceDefender widget shows x2.55 and I have never gotten beyond x2.2
 
I tried Chevy's ULV 1.0 today. So far, I like it just based on subjective temps/battery life - at the very least it matches the best I've seen out of jdflg/P3 when it comes to those two.

With Froyo, it seems like the performance of the phone is more or less a wash above 800MHz for my 'normal' usage, so now to me most of what I'm caring about boils down to just battery life. :)
 
So far I did about 30-40 minutes of heavy use and 12 hours from charging. (The baby woke me up @ 4:30 AM lol.
I'm at around 50%. That's pretty damned good! :)
I'm gonna play around a little more with it and then switch to 1.25 ULV later this evening before I charge her up for the night. I just want to see if there's any appreciable difference in performance. I kind of dubt there will be, in which case I'll go back to the "conservative" (lol) 1.0GHz.
