No different than using the ondemand governor. Smartass takes a clever approach to CPU scaling: instead of polling CPU usage like ondemand it detects when the phone comes out of sleep and sets a timer to go off in two ticks. Once that timer goes off it looks at CPU usage and scales if needed. What does all this mean? Well, if you turn on your phone to quickly check the time and then turn it back off the smartass governor will never ramp up the clockspeed. So far after a few days of light usage I've been quite pleased.

Nope. If you want to revert just chmod 644 /etc/startup/smartass.sh and reboot.
[Droid 2 Android Development] rtfield:
Sweet

Thanks
[Droid 2 Android Development] orkillakilla:
I wonder if they could modify this to work with the new gingerbread kernel.

I know when I had an HTC Eris, Conap used a smartass gov on his kernel and it was awesome.
[Droid 2 Android Development] orkillakilla:
So I took a shot and flashed the smartass governor a second ago on my GB d2, and seems to be working just fine. I'll report later with battery stats and anything else i notice.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Spitemare:
I took a look at this and found some stuff that might be encouraging.

Here is the source for the battery driver. Line 397 reads as such:

val->intval = sply->batt_state.capacity;

If line 397 is changed to this

val->intval = sply->batt_state.batt_capacity_one;

then battery level should be reported in 1% increments. I've posted the updated driver code here.

The problem is the gorram encrypted bootloader. It's not easily possible to swap a built-in hardware driver with a compiled module. If someone with more Linux kernel experience than I wants to take a crack at it then by all means...
[Droid 2 Android Development] tbaker077:
Do we really need busybox to uses this?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Spitemare:
Busybox's insmod is a little more robust then the insmod that's on the Droid 2. You can try editing the file /etc/startup/smartass.sh to remove the references to busybox and see if it works; I just stuck with busybox since that was what worked for me when building this thing. I'd try it myself but I can't at the moment.

I'm running an experiment now to see how long this governor will take me. I charged my phone to 100% last night (really 100% and not just to when the charging light went off) and turned it off. I turned it on this morning and will let the phone run until 5% battery is left. At that time I'll take a screenshot showing how long the system has been up. A few guidelines:

ROM is Fission 2.6.1 which of course means Froyo. I've been thinking about switching to the leaked Gingerbread ROM but I've decided to wait a little longer

Data must remain on. I usually turn data off when I'm not using it but to get results closer to worst case I'll keep data on. The only time it will go off is when I turn on Wi-Fi at home.

No turning off the phone at any time nor plugging it in. I guess I'm going to be using Dropbox a lot during this to transfer files but I don't want to reset the time since plugged in at all.

No overclocking, underclocking, or undervolting. Clockspeed and voltage are stock.

Usage will be light to moderate. I tend to use my phones for calls, chats, and web browsing. I'll throw in some YouTube videos and maybe download Angry Birds.

No apps that try to maximize battery life. That means no SetCPU, Tasker, Superpower, etc. This is supposed to be about how well the smartass governor does for battery life.

Again, once I reach 5% I'll try to take a screenshot of how long the phone went without being recharged.
[Droid 2 Android Development] ZaneKaminski:
Is this difficult to swap in simply because of the nature of what we'd be switching out, or does the eFuse chip and whatever other protection play a role here? I would try compiling your modified code and putting it on my device, except I'm afraid there will be some protective measure or something like that would brick my phone if I try. That and the fact that I have no idea what libraries and stuff I would compile this against.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Spitemare:
So unfortunately my phone rebooted halfway into the experiment so there is no screenshot for you all. I will say my phone made it just under 36 hours (6:30 Friday to 18:15 Saturday) on this governor. With some moderate internet browsing and way too many YouTube videos I'm quite happy with the outcome using this governor.

I've already compiled the modified module and tried to load it. The phone just prevents it from loading since the hardware interrupts are already bound to the compiled in driver.

eFuse doesn't prevent new kernel modules from being loaded. Since a kernel module can alter almost anything not being able to change the kernel isn't too much of a problem. What a kernel module can't really do, however, is change device drivers. There's not a really clean way to unload a device driver module since it binds to hardware interrupts and you can't really unbind that once the phone is up and running. If you want to replace a device driver with an alternate module you have to load the module before the original module is loaded sometime during the boot process. With compiled in device drivers though that's not really possible.

Basically we're in a situation where we need to load an alternate version of the device driver in module form before the compiled in device driver binds to the hardware interrupts. That would take some sort of ramdisk containing the altered driver module and we can't do that with eFuse.

The other option would be to write a module that hijacks calls to the particular function in the device driver and replaces that call with an alternative. That's got loads of problems though and is potentially dangerous. It would take someone with a lot more kernel experience than I have to write such a thing.
[Droid 2 Android Development] ZaneKaminski:
I installed this and didn't see any improvement in battery life until I ran

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

It said it was still ondemand. I checked scaling_available_governors and smartass was not in there, so I went ahead and installed the zip again... still doesn't work.

I went ahead and took a look at /etc/startup/smartass.sh. The permissions were right, so I ran /etc/startup/smartass.sh. I then checked /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor and it was set to smartass.

Can anyone shed some light on why this script is not running on boot? I'm running the leaked Motorola Gingerbread ROM if that makes a difference.

I see. I'm guessing the way to hijack said calls would be through directly modifying memory, right? That definitely is not something that sounds easy to do.
[Droid 2 Android Development] ZaneKaminski:
I tried running smartass.sh through an init.d script... still nothing. I actually had to make the /etc/init.d/ directory, so I figured that init.d scripts aren't supported on the Motorola Gingerbread rom... strange. I'll look for somewhere else where I can run stuff on startup.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Spitemare:
Look for /etc/install_recovery.sh. That file is run by /init.rc if it exists. It's how the overclock stuff gets loaded on Fission. What the update.zip does is back up that file if it exists and then append /etc/startup/smartass.sh to the end. Just add the following to the end of /etc/install_recovery.sh if the update.zip doesn't add it:

/etc/startup/smartass.sh
[XPERIA X10 General] aidinali:
hi mates ,

My girl friend has bought a new X10 i 1.6 .I have an htc hd2 phone and tried to share with her some apk files which i have collected on my phone for her. Her bluetooth became active and discoverable.then she got a message and pressed accept.on my phone's screen the sending box filled completely and i assumed that her x10 has got the file.but no where on his phone we found the recieved file ! she opened office box and checked all her storages but there was no received file.

she is new to this.my question is where we must look for recevied files via bluetooth on X10 i 1.6.?? and maybe the receiveing process was not complete ?

a simple step by step guide please !

thanx
[XPERIA X10 General] mister-g1:
I found out that sending .apk files via bluetooth doesn't work at all... I tried to send my girlfriend an .apk file with my x10 to her desire and we always got an error. I tried a simple but successful workaround.

1. You both have to download a filemanager first like ESFileManager or AstroFilemanager

2. To send the .apk file rename it to something else in any of these filemanagers before like .jpg for example: music.apk -> music.jpg

3. Sending this file now should be no problem

4. Your girlfriend has to undo step 2 now so rename music.jpg back to music.apk

5. Install the app by clicking on it

Okay, kind of annoying but working ;)

EDIT: oh, should have read better ;) if she got the file you have to use a filemanager described in step 1 und look in the /bluetooth folder on sdcard.. then follow step 5 ;) office box isnt a file manager at all.. it only lets you choose wich textfile you want to open
[XPERIA X10 General] aidinali:
very wired things ! what a hassle.!

it's amazing that a smart phone like X 10 has not even a simple pre-installed file manager on it's own !:mad:

very annoying ! infact its a shame of sony ericsson. I can realise the consept of Android market and google account thing ,....

may be they want enforce people to create google account anyhow...!

the problem is that she has not any file manager on his phone and no excessive time to create a google account and lurking in android market !

This theme contains :

- Semicustom known circle battery mod

- Not-bar icons (round/circle mod Hoolm)

- Not-bar power widget (Blueish theme)

- Custom animation (SkyRaider)

Theme was compiled from UOT, using Redux v1.1.1RC-1 framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from RC-1.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kwhodson:
I know there is a thread on this subject but it would not let me post. Anyway I had success with flashing clockwork Recovery on the Continuum but there are a few crucial steps missing in all the forums and YouTube videos that I was able to read or watch. I am new so the will not let me post links. Id you search YouTube for flash clockwork recovery on continuum there are links posted there but I watched the video and that process did not work on my sons phone. I kept getting a signature error until I did the following!

1) Download all the files needed

A. Samsung USB drivers

B. Odin

C. The cwm recovery file .tar

D. The update.zip file (this file needs to be placed on the root of your sdcard.

Follow the processes already posted in the forums to unzip Odin and to install Samsung USB drivers. Now here is the process that was successful for me.

1) Open Odin.

2) Power down the phone and pull the battery.

3) Plug the usb cable into your computer.

4) With the battery out, hold the volume down button and plug the usb cable into the phone. You will now see a yellow triangle. This is in download mode.

5) In the Odin software, click on the PIT button and select the .pit file you have downloaded.

6) Next, click on the PDA button and select the .tar file you downloaded.

7) Next, click on the START button. You will then see the Odin software do its thing and the end result will say PASS.

8) Ok...this step is crucial to your success. At this point you will unplug your usb cable from the phone. Now install your battery. (DO NOT POWER THE PHONE YET. IF YOU DO, REPEAT THE PROCESS ABOVE) Press the volume up and down buttons at the same time and while you are pressing them, press the start button so all three are pressed at the same time. The word SAMSUNG will appear then disappear and when it appears a second time release the volume up and down and power button.

9) You will now see blue writing which is the continuum recovery. Use your volume up and down to scroll to the update.zip line. Once this is highlighted, use your soft menu key on the face of the phone in the bottom left corner to select it. This will open the update.zip

10) After a few seconds you will see RED writing. You are now in clockwork recovery. Now you will use you volume up and down keys to scroll and the POWER button to select the option you want.

11) The first thing you need to do is scroll down to backup and restore and select that with your power button. The select backup, then scroll down and select yes. This will create a backup that can be found on your SD card in the clockwork folder.

Let me know if you have any questions!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
You can use Raidroid stockify series ROM, you can install it like a custom ROM, but it is just rooted stock ROM. It has 1.72 version.

Please keep in mind that all people know is how to complain in ROM threads. Let's take Revolution HD for example, it has tens of thousands of users, and then there are maybe ten people a day who say that they have some serious problem. What are the chances that they have caused the problem themselves? Exactly..

I have not experienced any big issues with the ROMs I have tried, except the Gingerbread leak, which is obviously just a leak, and therefore you cannot expect it to be perfect.
