Thanks for the response. I believe it was another of your posts I read that had me trying out the SBC-HTC-15 kernel.
I'm new to Android and EVO, and have gone through the usual learning curve of getting rooted, and trying every which way to improve battery life. After a month of flailing around, I basically started form scratch about a week ago.
I'm now getting 20+ hours of "light to moderate" usage before hitting the 20% threshhold. This is just by using the latest SL ROM, UltimateJuice, SetCPU 'on demand', the usual common sense settings (see any "Top XX EVO Power Saving Tips" list!), as sparing as I can be with sync'ing, and just letting UltimateJuice do it's thing.
My goal is 24 hours before hitting 20%.
The extra couple of hours are going to have to come from either turning UltimateJuice off and seeing if I can do a better job of managing power myself (using Tasker, etc), and/or from kernel based approaches.
I think what I'd like to try first is a kernel with a 'smartass' governor, with and without HAVS. That should be fairly simple to test, to see which kernel / governer wins.
Do you have any recommendations for a kernel to try?
Oh, and last noob question ... am I correct that HAVS is nothing to do with the trickle charging kernel mods? That HAVS is to do with scaling the voltage going to the CPU at various clock rates, and the trickle charging stuff is to do with keeping the charge going after the battery hits 100%.
