Screens of what I'm running and the battery life, I usually text, use web/google search and facebook moderately to heavy.

Is it stable at 128Mhz? My stable minimum seems to be 256

Yes, but it seems over 1.15 it will get unstable sometimes so I leave the top end there.

the bad thing is that it seems to differ between hardware versions and all that so what might work for one phone doesn't work for another. i was having issues with a kernel that let me overclock and underclock and it would make my phone unstable and i would end up having to flash again to fix it so i just gave up on setcpu because it ended up being more trouble than it was worth, I'm on Calks 1.7.7 with stock kernel and getting good battery life.

I would always hope that the HW wouldn't affect just the kernel performance/stability. I did go through quite a few kernels in sticking with this, mostly the HAVS or anything more aggressive toward battery life was not working out so well, especially if I booted with SetCPU running.

I have 2 EVO's with HW v003

I'm running Sprint Lover's ROM with Netarchy toastmod 4.2.2 CFS SBC more HAVS aggressive kernel. According to JuicePlotter, I can normally get around 35 hours of moderate to heavy usage, though I never go that far.

I did forget to charge it one night and it lasted me until 6pm the next day when I had to swap one of my 1800mA batteries.

No it did not sit around all day,

I used facebook, the internet, bluetooth in my car, the camera, and watched a couple of videos not constantly but pretty consistently throughout that time.

So Say what you want.

Last night, I played Spectral Souls and texted most of the evening at work... It said Android system at 22%.

I was still have 52% battery after 11 hours.

Do you have a million programs in the background using data syncs?
