Comavolt question

[atomD21]

Quick question for the resident experts here. My wife's fascinate is running the stock rooted ed01 and having god awful battery life. I tried the com rom and she didnt't like it, so I was thinking about flashing a new undervolt kernel. I wanted to use comavolt, because i've heard good things about it, but I haven't been able to find if it will work on a stock rom. I know it's TW based, but if I brick her phone, I'll suffer greatly...

I'm no resident expert but from my understanding touchwiz is touchwiz

Sweet. That was my impression, but always good to get a second opinion!

I had nothing but great experiences from comavolt its supposedly undervolted by -75mv. You should notice a difference in battery life after wiping battery stats and a couple charge/discharge cycles or just flash this kernel when the battery is full to avoid recalibration.

yeah you wont have issues as long as you don't do a nonvoodoo over a voodoo. Since your wifes phone is stock, stick with the nonvoodoo

I think I have flashed all the kernels for our phones now without issue

Awesome guys! Thanks for the help!

what exactly is comavolt? is it an undervolted kernel? if so, how undervolted and how much battery life?

You might try reading vi3tboiii54's post 3 above yours to get your answers. OP also mentions it as being an undervolted kernel. You can find a link to the kernel in JaeKar99's thread here in post #4

Can I just flash this right over my existing setup? It says EC10 build; I'm sporting the ED01 build and the EC01 baseband.

Do I just boot to recovery and flash this direct?

 

[Lttlwing16]

Yep..I did..

Kabangarang!

I'm learning, but still a bit naive. Is Comavolt a completely separate ROM?

Comavolt is a kernel not a ROM. Two separate things.
