It has been great for me too! Awesome battery life with extended battery! 10-18 hours depending on usage, 4G and wifi.
Did you guys overclock to 13500 and downclock to 350? whats your battery life like then? Im finding it hard to justify the extra 150 mhz for apps/games compaired to batt life that you might save..
I am currently at 68% and off of charger for just over 8 hours (8h14m)
But i am not a super heave user: Texts, phone, music (not streaming) for 25 min and a little web browsing.
Currently I have Franco's kernel (13.1) set to 13500 max / 350 min and hot plug enabled
Battery seems to be a tough one to gauge from others, everybody uses there phone a little differently. All you can do is give it a shot and if you don't like the results switch back.
I would recommend enabling Hot plug and 350min. That seems to make the biggest difference in my battery life.

I like Franco's alot too, but right now I seem to be getting good battery life with GlaDOS kernel.
I just enabled Hot plug on mine with the new 14 version, low is 350 and max of 1350 with on demand governer and I love it more than before.I'm about to hit 4 hours and at 84%. Haven't done much other than texting, a few glance at FB, checked emails but no heavy streaming yet today. I di have 3 emails syncing on push, FB set to an hour and BW also set to an hour. Lovin this phone and Devs!
What does hotplug do? If enabled, can I still get notifications?

What he said and yes you will still get notifications. Great add on to this Kernel.
But you have to pay for his app to get these options, I think it is $1.47 or something close to that.
Not sure if Set CPU or others will be able to do that.
i use setCPU, it does everything but check and download new versions of the kernel
I bought the app though, always good to support devs that do good work.

i'm seeing which is one is better for battery life: this one or defiant. Right now, i know that franco's is the better performing one but I'm starting to enjoy better battery life over performance.
I purchased Franco's kernal 14.1 and have checked the hotplug enabler. I would like to overclock/undervolt to increase my battery life but am scared to pull the trigger because I am not 100% sure how to do it. I have looked in the forums for a dummy guide to this kernel and it's settings and haven't found the answers. When I go into his app there are settings for Overclock and undervolt with a bunch of warnings etc. in each. I would be greatful if someone would explain in "dummy terms" for me on how to do this to maximize battery life.
Thanks in advance

If you want great battery life, try the francoturtle governor first before adjusting any clock speeds or voltage settings. Keep in mind, you can't have blazing speed AND great battery life. You need to find what works best for you. If you want V8 performance and want to sip gas like a 4 cylinder, it's not happening. I know benchmarks are not real world performance, but I did notice a big hit using francoturtle and a little less of a hit using francogazelle. But, using interactive governor, I am getting my best scores yet. Haven't tried performance yet.
So for so good.. the android OS is only taking up 20% of my battery usage. It's been about 14 hours and i'm at 50%. Great job franco!!
Two questions:
1) is everyone using the latest version of franco (3.0.18-franco.Kernel-nightly-15.1)?
2) If I set my performance from settings in the set CPU settings from my ROM (codename android), is that enough or do I need to be altering them elsewhere, like with the Franco updater or SetCPU app, as well?

1) I don't install every update that's released. I will download it. If I am getting bad performance or battery life, I will install it.
2) If you have the Franco updater app, use that. It's worth the small price if you haven't downloaded it already, if not than to just have the hotplug option enabled. You can use SetCPU if you don't have it, but Franco's app also includes his own governors.
What about the CPU settings that come with the Codename Android? Are those sufficient, or do the franco settings somehow take precedence over them?
