SetCPU settings and Search option in contacts window

I was initially on stock Froyo before upgrading to stock GB using the manual kdz upgrade option. I then rooted the phone and installed the latest franco's kernel for

GB Roms to overclock CPU.

I did not find any major issues except for slightly higher battery drain which could have been because of my overzealous SetCPU profile settings, the phone functions were quite smooth, angry birds ran well almost without any lag.

After going through various threads here, decided to try out the latest mik's rom version 6.6.1 with the latest franco supported kernel for the release.

My 8GB SD card was partitioned through rom manager as 64MB swap, 2GB ext3 and 6GB FAT32. I use Link2sd and all the installed apps automatically go into the ext partition. My average free RAM on boot is 300MB and the internal phone memory has 180MB free.

The installation went off smoothly and I have no issues so far. No hangs or reboots. Since I am not looking for too many launcher frills, I am happy with the default AWD launcher. I prefer a neat and clean desktop, so I have no widgets installed.

The only issue that I have seen so far is that the search option in Contacts is not embedded in the status bar and I have to use the menu key to search.

Since custom rom allows overclocking, should I stick to overclocking provided by custom rom or try to control through SetCPU which offers more options through profiler settings.

Which governor offers best balance between performance and battery drain

and what is the ideal profile setting to enable this. I don't mind to charge everyday if needed, however I would like to optimize it to the best possible extent.

I do not use data at all and use wifi for about an hour daily and ofcourse my daughter binges on angry birds and other games for atleast an hour everyday.

My current SetCPU settings are as follows

Main: OC to 806mhz, low 480 mhz, Performance

Profiles

Screen Off: 122/245, 99% priority, minimax

Time: Between 12 am and 6 am: 122mhz 100% priority, Performance

Battery <25% : 245/480, 98% priority, Ondemand

In Call : 320/600, 97%, ondemand

Charging: 480/806, 95%, Performance

Battery < 50%, 320/600, 95%, Ondemand

AnTuTU benchmark provided a score of 1906.

Last but not the least, a BIG THANKS TO MIK, FRANCO AND ALL OTHER MEMBERS OF XDA FOR THEIR UNSTINTING EFFORT IN MAKING ANDROID A GREAT AND MEANINGFUL PLATFORM:) and to LG for leaving loopholes:) to plug:rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Well smartass is a good governor, and you don't need to use profiles as it has its own sleep profile.

Putting your cpu clock below 480mhz on sleep drain more battery when waking up.

So, you can just delete setcpu and use cm7 settings to set frequencies.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
Welcome to XDA!

I am currently not using CM, but I did for the past 3 weeks, so I can provide you with some advices (not answers).

The first would be to not clock your CPU below 480 MHz, no matter the profile. According to franco - who's kernel you are currently using - this does not save battery, but drains it even more. He may step in and explain why, I just took his word for it because he developed this kernel.

Second, the best performance / battery life ratio for me was provided by the smartass governor.

Given these two

advices

, I think you can rely on CM's settings for overclock, profiles are not really necessary.

Later edit: terratrix was so much more brief and quick to reply. But I'm glad to see he's given you almost the exact same advices :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kannan66:
Thanks for the advice. Let me give it a go.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kannan66:
Thanks for reinforcing terratrix's advice. I will give it a go.

I noticed you are still on a froyo custom rom. Any reason for not moving on to GB?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kapitanbasa:
happy cm7 customer here. currently on mik's 6.5.7 and francokernel/fserve's gbsv14 f and battery is best so far.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] theSuda:
Thanks...

Thanks a lot. I am using Swype and there are some other app which I install, as you said, before anything else. Will keep an eye out. Also, I have been quite long on Franco v19.3 and its not as bad as v19.2. It gave me 42 hours when I did not use mobile much. And it gives a good 20 hours with regular 2g internet usage. Also Internet is kinda faster with v19.3.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] brownsmell:
I use swype, I have google voice installed (dont use it), autoproxy, heywire (free sms). I keep wifi off and data on most of the time. I only get around 8-10 hrs of battery life.

6.5.7 with default kernel
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Check your auto-sync settings and try to post a screenshot of your Battery use graph...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Just my 2 cents, as already you've got great responses. IMO using CPU profiles like you have mentioned would cause more battery drain as the profiler app keeps scanning for the system parameters to change the CPU freq. It is advisable to use the CM7 settings and use smartass. It is the best for stability, performance and battery. Franco's latest .35 kernel has the smartassV2 kernel, which should be more efficient. Still haven't tried it though.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] megicz:
thanks,may i ask 1 more Q? Which V6supercharger settings is best for my phone? (LG Optimus One) Thanks for answer

And should i use zram together with kernel?(fserve's kernel) for what is it good?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Well, you,can try aggressive 2 for a start.

There is not a need for zram anyway, flashing it does not harm either
[Optimus One, P500, V General] theaventador:
Battery life

I recently flashed CM7 over the stick Lg 2.2.2.This was a great upgrade in terms of performance and looks.

But the only complain I have is the battery life.

My battery life used to be for around 30 hrs after fully charging it.(I hardly make any calls or text, I just read books and listen to songs).

But now my battery drains in about 18 hrs which is very low for me.

I have not overclocked it(it crashes when I do).

Please can someone help me??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] simplicio11:
After install CM7 6.6.1 on froyo's baseband (v10e), app2sd (stable version) and franciscofranco kernel (.35; 29 aug), I've random reboot and some apps are not present in the draw, maybe for an app2sd's problem (?). Any solutions? Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kannan66:
try and reinstall the rom, don't forget to wipe data/cache/dalvik cache before you partition sd card. a2sd i guess is part of mik's rom with auto link feature to your ext partition.

reinstall franco's latest kernel and again don't forget to wipe only the cache before or after installing

i use link2sd which i downloaded from the market and no issues so far. all the apps that i install from market goes to ext (i have it as ext3) partition keeping my internal memory free.

Do not charge and let battery drain fully. Charge battery to 100% and before removing the charger, boot into recovery and wipe battery stats. Reboot and remove charges at lock screen. Only charge again after you have used it 100% and after that you can charge as and when needed.

i have overclocked at 480/806 with smartass governer. Was advised by members not to use SetCPU.

No issues so far. Hope this solves the problem

thanks then :)

USB Mass Storage Issues

Going strong with mik's 6.6.1 & franco's 29082011 testing kernel.

In google talk apk there is button for calling and video calling both are not working with my phone

my all info is in the signature
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Video calling will not work, obviously. The phoe does not have a front-facing camera. Why the call button is not working? Getting any error?

FYI, I never use Gtalk on my mobile so not sure whether call button would work or not. I'm posting this assuming that it should work as it is not dependant on the front-facing camera.

hi all have a question regarding the dialer, hope im not off going off topic...

Is it possible to set up a T9 search with the standard gingerbread dialer?

for example with froyo based roms, if i wanted to call matt i would opend the dialer press 6288 and matts number would appear in the little green box above the dialer instead of searching it in the nevending contact list.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Use some other dialer apps from the market. CM7 dialer does not have the SmartDial feature. This was one of the best feature of LG's official froyo.

Ex: You can use Go Contacts from market. It's free.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] robsbeat1:
Yeah it was preaty good. thx i'll give it a try
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ajphoenix:
This is going to sound really silly.. but the touch lag from the stock rom has been fixed right, in this?

cuz I installed this rom .. but when I was playing games and there was a noticeable lag whenever i kept my finger for some time on the screen.. :s
[Optimus One, P500, V General] holyzombiejesus:
I wish there was a way to set up a profile on SetCPU to bring the clock speed down to stock whenever the camcorder is in use. It's a shame that overclock makes every other application faster, but produces awful flickering in recorded videos.

My camera suddenly stopped working

Is this a known issue? It says "activity camera (in application) is not responding. Im on miks 6.5.7 and fk/fserve's v19.3/gbsv15.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
Sorry for the late answer.

I moved on to GB, I just didn't stay there. I need good battery life, rather than ultimate performance, that's why I went back to Froyo.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ajphoenix:
Even during the quadrant benchmark tests, fps drops if i touch the screen ..

is this an issue?.. or am i just overreacting?.. o.O
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Well there must be some cpu load/fps drops when touching the screen
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ubajaj:
Pardon me if the bugs have already been posted. I don't remember reading them so I am posting them here again:

1. When in call, if the speaker is turned on, and it is near some magnetic based device like say a telephone/landline receiver, the speaker gives out mike like shrill high pitched echoes. The closer I bring it to the receiver, the higher and shriller the echoes get. It did not happen in Stock FroYo.

2. When I call someone, and the opposite party hangs up the call after the conversation, the call screen still stays on along with the call counter. That is to say, the call duration is still counted and it shows the call as active despite the receiving party having hung up already. It does not happen when someone calls me and they hang up though. Only when I call someone and they hang up, that the counter goes on.

Also,

1hr~ total of gaming *Angry Birds, greedy spider, doodle assault etc*

Background sync continuously on: Gmail and G Contacts*default timing, Tweetdeck-6 hours, Gtalk, Market *update notification on*, Appbrain -default timing

EDGE on continuously except in night from 12-6. Back Sync not turned off then.

No WiFi, no 3G, Only 2G networks, no GPS, bluetooth=10 minutes but not daily.

Calls=less than 30 minutes per day, Receive SMS~10-15, Send SMS~5

Smoothass with 600/480, animations off, Phone silent, alarm on, brightness=25~, phone stays locked rest of the time.

NO TASK KILLER.

On that usage, CM6.5.7+Franco 19.3Kernel gives me around 10-12 hours only. Stock FroYo 2.2 (v10B) on same usage, gave me atleast 15-20 hours. Is it normal? On screen lock in night time, it gave me 2-3% drain for 12-6. But when using the phone it drains heavily.

Note: It's an 10 month old phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
1. Since this is normal behaviour across all electronic devices I can't see how this won't occur in stock froyo.

2. If you are billed only for your actual talktime, how does this matter?

And in general GB roms have a little less battery life than froyo roms. If the phone is idle it is bound to drain very less than when it's being used.

wiifi connect error

well can u gyz guid me here ..

i was previously using miui rom. today flashd cm7 6.6.1 nd than i m getting wifi connect error.. had to reboot my phone in order to work with wifi.

and the other thing is that i wanted to flash franco's latest testing kernel but while flashing in recovery it doesnt allow me .. wats the solution ??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ubajaj:
1. I have no idea why it did not happen, but it didn't on FroYo.

2. It is just annoying to see the timer go on continuously despite the conversation having been ended. More of a minor annoyance than a serious bug or PITA :)

3. Yes in idle it will drain less. In fact the idle draining is the same as FroYo drain, probably even lesser. But the phone usage draining is quite higher than what I've read from the reports of other CM7+19.3BFS users, especially compared to the usage. Which is why I wondered. Overall though the performance of course feels snappy compared to FroYo and I am satisfied with it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ubajaj:
I hope you are flashing the right kernel. 6.6.1 uses v1. and not v19.3.

What is the error that you get ? Did you follow all instructions correctly?

How do I check to see if stagefright is enabled/disabled? build.prop did not have any lines on stagefright. JIT is enabled in CM settings. Hardware acceleration is enabled/disabled?

If the default camera app is not working and other apps from the market are working, then obviously the app is corrupt. Try re-installing the app (search the forums for the .apk) or if possible, try a clean wipe and re-install the ROM. I guess you won't face the problem again.
