This is an great kernel and I have no complaints (Running WICKEDv8 Deviant Kernel Ondemand OC 1944)
I used to have a minor issue though while running this kernel but I found a fix for it. I posted said fix in the Wicked thread but I was told to post here so here I am. I may leave out some information below so here is the original post. (

Just to reiterate: After much testing and reflashing (with full wipe) both the kernel and ROM, I concluded that at least on my phone, running this kernel combined with any kind of screen off profile (such as time of day/temp/in call/battery% or of course screen off) would cause the Android System to consume ridiculous amounts of power. I tried every governor and several CPU profile apps (SetCPU, RomToolbox –the one that was built into as a system app in Wickedv6&7, RomToolbox pro-user app) and the results were by and large the same. The CPU would not sleep despite having the screen off (less than 8hrs of battery life with a temperature average of 35C). I concluded that by disabling the screen off profiles the CPU would sleep as it should normally while the screen is off and in fact the overall performance of my phone increased (battery life averages about 24+hrs and the temp of the phone is an average 28C). I have noticed this property of the kernel since Wickedv6 and it is present in Wickedv8 which is currently sporting “3.0.65-DeviantKernel_07-g33a6ac3”, Wickedv6 was the first of the Wicked rom series to include the option of installing Deviant Kernel via Aroma
While I no longer have an issue since I disable all CPU profile apps. I am curious as to why perhaps this issue occurred. Is it a known property of the kernel? Or was it something on my end? (I’m willing to bet it has been a user error)
Thanks for your time.
