I have great battery life with that ROM, but I'm running Trinity kernel. I'd suggest trying a custom kernel like Trinity or KTmanta.

While that ROM gets ok battery life, it isnt the best there is. Smaller ROMs with less features tend to get more battery as they dont try and do so much stuff. But still, I dont see a problem with AOKP PUB, it still is ok enough on battery. The kernel has a lot to do with battery since it controls your CPU speed, scheduler (which some use more or less CPU), and GPU, as well as voltages. So the right kernel combo can give much better or worse battery life.

Alright so i booted into recovery mode and installed the trinity kernel. Now once i cleared cache/dalvik and fixed permissions, i have booted up and in settings it still says the kernel is: 3.4.5-g3e87446-dirty. Its the same as before, did i do something wrong?

 

[EniGmA1987]

Its possible the ROM you are on has Trinity installed by default, or the kernel didnt install right. Also you dont need to fix permissions.

I'd try and reflash the kernel again, and post back if it doesn't work.

Still not working, any ideas? It did say updating android when i booted up and scanned app my apps, but no change in kernel

 

[ThugosaurusRex]

That's really strange, do you get any errors when flashing?

CleanROM with stock Kernel has great battery life on mine.

 

[talha746]

Nope everything working fine, but i cant seem to get this to work. Ill try the KTmanta kernel and post back.

 

[talha746]

Alright so i got the KTmanta kernel to work, so i guess the trinity one doesnt work with mine? Now how can i see how much of a battery improvement this made? Is there an app or something? Thanks guys

Kernel and app in the first link, premade settings in the second link if you want them. Settings get placed in the tweaking apps' folder and loaded from within the app itself

What does that app do specifically?

 

[EniGmA1987]

Allows you to tweak all kernel related settings

 

[talha746]

All i really need is better battery life lol

 

[addicted1900]

Then use enigma1987 settings as a base for further optimization. Read the forum to get the knowledge about the different options that the Tweaker app offers and adjust them on your own taste. I am getting an average of 8h+ screen on time with good performance

 

[EniGmA1987]

Well when the next KTManta kernel version comes out I will be putting out a new version of the "Butterlicious" settings as there are major changes to the kernel. In addition I will also post a pre-made settings file designed entirely around best battery life. Talha746, can you please list out the things you do most on your tablet? And any games you play regularly?

 

[talha746]

I basically watch videos and play emulators and surf the web. But as of installing this kernel, i cant even play a single video file! It keeps crashing and turning off my device, any ideas?
