Root [KERNEL] PopcornKernel v0.1

Flashed last night, so far so good. Running the aggressive governer. Best score yet!

2012-04-29_205229.jpg
 
On my second battery cycle, haven't really had the opportunity to put the phone through its paces yet. However, what hollywoods14 seems about right; the life has been equivalent to 1.3. I got about 8 hours on the first charge, around 11 on the second (currently using Aggressive governor). I'm going to keep running for a couple more days to see if it will be similar to what I was getting on rooted stock rom and kernel (approximately 16-20 hours with moderate to heavy use; all Verizon bloat frozen).

Hope this helps:)
 
Yeah I came back to stock I couldn't deal with the battery life on 1.3.
It wouldn't even last 10 hours. I can get almost 2 days ( with extended battery ) on stock rooted rom with verizon stuff frozen. Yes its slow but to me battery life is more important lol

How do you undervolt?

So far battery seems to be draining a little quicker than Blitzkrieg 1.3.

Download the IncrediControl ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5pbmNyZWRpY29udHJvbCJd ) app. Open it, then go to the tab on the right. There you will see all the different frequency steps available to the cpu and what voltage the cpu gets when it is running at that speed. To undervolt, all you do is hit the minus sign next to the voltage. I would say undervolt each step by 100mV (4 taps) first, then click apply and make sure your phone is still stable. If it is, then you can either let it be and just click set on boot or try undervolting a bit more. However, if you are undervolting a bit more than normal, don't click set on boot before you make sure your phone is stable (browse the web, play some games). Just like your car won't run if there's too little gas going to the engine, your phone won't run if there's too little voltage going to the cpu.

I did set the minimum voltage to 800mV though, to be on the safe side. I may lower that in the future since on my test builds my phone is running 192 MHz on 750mV with no problem
 
Here's what I have so far on this cycle. I was on the phone for about 55 minutes, the display has been on for about an hour. Battery seems to be improving, I will check in later after I torch the battery again, lol.

Any one else have this happening? If my battery is under 35% and I plug into my charger or desk dock I get boot loop. Not sire if this is kernel but seeing as that is what controls charging etc. I thought Id start here.

Thanks to all who are making this a great phone.

Also if I am stupid and this has already been covered somewhere plese let me know and share me the link.

Tnx

I have't experienced this issue yet, and I've been through a couple of charge/discharge cycles. I've only had one reboot since installing, and it was while I was installing Antek App Manager. It happened upon opening the app for the first time, as soon as the SU permission popped up. As for charging, I've been below 35% each time I've recharged the battery. I've only used the provided charger, though, as I don't have the desk dock.

**I was able to install Antek with no issues after the reboot.
 
Are you guys under volting any?
I've been doing a lot to my phone lately, so I do not have a current battery life test on BOv1.3; however on v1.1 using ROM toolbox profiles and phone weaver profiles to manage everything (no manual changing of screen brightness, radios, or CPU settings). I could charge either first thing in the morning, or Before going to bed (unplugging at 100%, before going to sleep), and 24 hours later still have 25%-38% left. With mild usage, 4g on the entire time, no wifi, less than 2hrs GPS and maybe 25 minutes talking.

I unplugged at 1245am this morning, and it is 1046pm now, 26% battery left, but I probably only used my phone for 150-200 minutes today. On broken out v1.3 with blitzkrieg

Update:
Note, I just noticed my GPS is still active, turned it on at 10am ish this morning 1053pm now. I have never used juice defender, using the stock battery. And I won't plug my phone in until tomorrow morning. 19% now.
 
UI and phone was lightning fast, battery life was horrible for me. Got intimidated with undervolting, lmao. Back to Blitzkrieg for now. Great work though super smooth and quick!!

Blitzkrieg is undervolted already. I am interested in popcorn 2 for the 650mAh charge as I too believe that 800 might be too much for the circuitry in our Spectrum, else they would not have limited us to 450mAh stock. And (with moderate use) I have notice a significantly increased discharge rate then before. Even without overclocking.

Either way 2.0 is now mirrored, sorry for being late to the party, I spent the weekend rooting my wife's Evo Shift and overclocking it.

Kind of my thoughts. Maybe this weekend when i have time I might spend sometime and try to undervolt some. The 800mAH worries me a little, but for now im going to go with battery life.

I ran all day on Blitz yesterday and started having proplems around the 30% mark again. First while running pandora phone would just reboot on its own ( I saw a conversation in the Blitz thread about this.) then when I put it on the dock last night boom reboot. took it off. Reboot stopped and was fine. Repeated this process about 5 times . I have several batteries so I took out the low extended battery and put in a fully charged normal battery. No reboot.

Any information needed I can supply. Just let me know.
I am going to xpost this to the blitz thread too.

Thanks
 
okay so popcorn 2.0 works perfect on mine.. stock and brokenout.. my dads is on popcorn1.0 with stock... when i flash 2.0 every time all apps force close and it gives me problems.. wtf

Are you running setCPU? I found that during testing, something between running broken out, setcpu and popcorn did not mesh well on my phone, but others have had no issues with it. I'm starting to believe that a small batch of phones went out with less then optimal chips in them.
