Low Voltage is actually the preferred setup faux wants for his kernel. It's to help with battery life and it has NO effect on performance either way. However, some people's processors can't handle the LV kernel, therefore he has the Standard Voltage version just for them.

As for BFS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Fuck_Scheduler
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaibar:
Thanks for bfs clarification.

Never said I have a problem with low voltage- on the opposite- I have chosen this specific kernel. Just asked if it can be altered/ controlled in a similar way like CPU frequency (min/max values, temperature limits etc etc).

I understand the answer is no...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bigscottie:
All the above! :) thanks faux.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Chadastrophic:
Definitely volume boost. The stock sense rom had a lot louder volume.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] luvbug1977:
Slight volume boost for navigation, bt, and headphones would be sweet!

Thanks faux!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
Have u messed with dsp mananger? It made it louder for me
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eqjunkie829:
What kind of compatibility issues are you referring to with BFS?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] luvbug1977:
Hey mulletcutter,

Started playing with it a couple weeks ago. Seems to do the trick...but wondering if it uses more battery since its an app??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
Well if u look at ur running apps, its always on...but i wont worry about it using battery, batt life is great on cm7
[myTouch 4G Android Development] itzsmokey:
Volume boost, please
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nbturbos:
this right here.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ninobrn99:
installed the LV version and have noticed that my phone sometimes just reboots itself or when I plug in my car chargers, it freezes and I have to reboot. Started happening after this kernel. Im going to try and switch to the SV version and see if it helps.

Also, battery life hasn't been the greatest on default setting either.

Running CM7 nightly #124
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ninobrn99:
so at 7:23pm, I was at 40s on battery at 100%. It's 8:35pm and Im still at 100%.....is that possible?

CPU settings are on default settings.

Update:

9:05pm-93%

9:11pm-92

9:23pm-90%

9:30pm-89%

9:41pm-88%

9:57pm-87%

This is still the first day with this kernel. Hope it settles.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] synaesthetic:
This is the normal experience I've found with CM7 and a Glacier. My battery will always stay on 100% for four or five hours depending on use, and then it will start scaling down toward zero rapidly running through the 90s and 80s and slowing down again in the 70s and 60s.

No matter how many times I condition the battery, it still does this uneven, nonlinear battery percentage drain.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ninobrn99:
yeah, its 12:32am and im at 60%
[myTouch 4G Android Development] synaesthetic:
Kernel doesn't seem to make a difference. I've had the same "stays on 100% for hours" issue with the CM7 kernel, the faux123 kernel and the demonSPEED kernel. All of them do the same thing.

Sense ROMs do not, however. So I suspect it's an issue with CM7.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Version 1.0.7 is OUT!!!!

Updated to allow Max overclock to 2.03 GHz... REMEMBER NOT EVERYONE can OC to 2.03 just keep in mind. My own phone can run @ 1.94 Stable but will experience random freeze @ 2.03. I enabled it just in case some of you have even better chip than mine.

Speaker Volume Boost, Headset Volume Boost and Bluetooth Volume Boost.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] d12unk13astard:

Oh btw 2ghz Oc is insane nice breakthrough!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ninobrn99:
installed the LV....lets see what happens. Thanks Faux
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
LV 2.03 and 1.9 both froze...i dont oc though just thought id try. But 2ghz is crazy tho
[myTouch 4G Android Development] krazy_smokezalot:
I'm using the new kernel stock voltage 2.03 running @ performance 2.03 no freeze yet!!! Testing it insanely!! Ill try LV soon after I make a nand!! :) thanks faux
[myTouch 4G Android Development] d12unk13astard:
i tested cfs lv @ 2.03ghz did 2 quadrant tests b4 it froze lol think 1.8 is the sweet spot for my phone anyways.

is there anyway we could get darktremor apps2sd support into the next kernel update, it seems dtapps2sd works partially on your 1.2.7 aosp rom but none of the script commands work in terminal. Thanks always for your work faux.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] itzsmokey:
Wooow 2.03...about to flash....this is going to be amazing....and thanks for that volume boost
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
Using thederekjay's MIUI. Running smooth with LV BFS kernel. That is, of course, until I try to run it at 2.03 GHz. Stupid move on my part but I couldn't help myself.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] d12unk13astard:
coming from my last phone the og g1 i cant give devs like faux,dumfuq,thederekjay,koush, enough credit. I loved that lil brick of a phone but damn i dont miss its slow ass speed lol. Sure some of the kernels made it seem to perform well overclocked to 614-710 but you could never leave it on that long and expect to get more then 2 or 3 hours max. At least with the speeds we have on our mt4g's and the governers we get crazy stable fast performance with less hit to our batteries imho.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ninobrn99:
I cant say Im upset with that at all!!! Probably the best I've seen so far.

This is on CM7 nightly 124, stock radio, and .07 kernel

UPDATE:

It died at 3am.I can say I'm happy!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jeffmeister:
Anyone having trouble with their camera/camcorder working with CM7 running this kernal?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] edboy21:
Im having a problem with it. My camera freezes and requires a battery pull.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ninobrn99:
I have an issues with the phone freezing when Im charging it in my car and im using my bluetooth.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
Went back to .6 lv cfs...battery life is better for me for some reason
[myTouch 4G Android Development] clamder:
Noticed that cm made a change in their kernel, but I have no idea what changed. Any idea if your kernel needs an update to that? Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
The changes made lately to the CM kernels are not related to MT4G at all (MT4G is pretty mature and is pretty much frozen)

Lately, the CM team have been working hard at adding other phones (speedy, vivo, vivow, mecha etc) support into a universal HTC kernel. There have been a few bugs introduced along the way. I did on purpose avoiding to sync with the CM mainline kernel until the merge dust settled down a bit.

Meanwhile my kernel should be 100% compatible with whatever CM release for the MT4G.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] PeterC18st:
Well I thought this was only on 1.0.7 but the same on 0.0.6. Whenever I change the governor to smart ass and do a reboot for the changes to take affect it always reverts to interactive. I tried clean installing with wiping the system and fresh mod installs and proper flashing of the kernel. Any ideas how to maybe fix this??? Smartass is what I want great battery and performance with it. Otherwise this is the only hickup I have with the kernal. Faux great job bro. Thanx.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] PeterC18st:
Ok I tried set on boot for 0.0.6 and it seems to remember. Next ill be reflashing the latest CM7 nightly and apply the same settings.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TmobileDash12:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-proving-that-the-world-is-coming-to-its-end/

Including the GB G2 kernel.

Does this change anything?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Nope... actually to tell you the truth... the kernel for Glacier is very stable and pretty mature already. Most bugs are in the ROM anyways not in the kernel.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jrlatta:
so is there a new kernel for the newest miui rom out. it says android 2.3.5. just wondering if this one will work or if i need to wait
[myTouch 4G Android Development] y2k1ltd:
As long as the kernel base hasn't changed, then it should.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jrlatta:
it looks like it has. it say 2.6.35.15
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bmakk2055:
Anybody know how to get kernel info in terminal
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
su
cat /proc/version
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bmakk2055:
Thanks faux
[myTouch 4G Android Development] clamder:
will this kernel get updated to .14? :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
Wait what do you mean by .14?

Sent from my Google Nexus 12! yup I'm from the future
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Not sure about this... I am busy @ work and my spare time is now 100% trying to bring up CM7 for Motorola Atrix (I have been neglecting my other projects including this one because of it). Once Motorola Atrix CM7 enters Beta/Nightly phase, then I will do a massive catch up with rest of my projects.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Serious_Beans:
Will this kernel work with your latest rom?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sneakerhead27:
This kernel is bundled with the v1.2.9 ROM.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shiben589:
WOW that's some good battery life!

Thanks faux!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Cot Dayumn! thats very ****in impressive!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaibar:
Indeed, but with the phone almost without any use. Probably in regular daily use you won't get 2 days battery life no matter what tweaking you're doing.

There is no standard way of measuring the battery usage for proper comparison. For example I am using same kernel and regular settings but I make a few phone calls, read some emails and Wifi on and after 10-14 hours my bl battery is drained... Sure, if the phone is not in wake status then it may keep two days, but one usually has an phone in order to use it a little bit...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] d12unk13astard:
ive gotten around 26-30 hours with this rom and fauxs uv cfs kernel b4 with lots of usage, like you said it varies for everyone. You might wanna order a new oem or seido battery and calibrate it to see our numbers.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xandermpls:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] d12unk13astard:

Kernel for MIUI?

Hi Faux and peeps,

what do you recommend for MIUI?

I have used the Daemonspeed kernels and my battery

died in half a day - not a good day for that to happen!

I'm not even a heavy user of the phone!

Thanks - I'm not sure if it falls in the space of this kernel or the older ones?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
I haven't been tracking MIUI dev lately. I believe MIUI has been using 2.6.35 kernel for a while now, so this kernel should be compatible with MIUI. Give it a shot and see how it goes for you. :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Undeadk9:
Yes this kernel is fully compatible with newest miui.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tjizzle:
How is this possible??? Lol my battery doesn't last half a day if its not plugged in. I think I use it too much...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dohandrew:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] PeterC18st:
Governors won't stick after change and go to default values.

None of the governors stick when changing them. So SMARTASS doesn't work unless I choose Set on boot it defaults to interactive. Prior to updating I didn't need to choose the Set on boot option. Running CM7 nightly 200. So far every time I update I do a clean install wiping data, cache and system and following the directions to a T. I let the first boot finish and give it 5 minutes and then reboot. Any idea's or is this more a ROM specific issue?

[General Questions and Answers] Flyer888:
Hello there, I'm from Indonesia. This summer holiday (Jun-Jul mid) I'll have a trip to the US for the first time and beside that I want to buy a new smart phone.

1. I'm 15 yo and I won't occupied by my parents when in the trip, but I'm given a additional visa credit card by my parent which is issued in my country. Question is, can I use that CC to buy the phone without any additional info needed or what do i need to have/give any additional info/sth like that?

2. What retail stores are recommended there? The price, the service, the easiness for me? As I know there are so many retail stores in US. I'll be in major cities though, like LA, LV, Boston, NYC

3. Any recommended Android phone to buy? Actually I'm aiming for the SGS2 but looks like it won't have come to US when I'm there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Explore3:
Here are some quick thoughts. In the USA, it is often cheaper to buy over the web. They will want to ship to the billing address of the cc to prevent fraud. This will prevent you from using your credit card with most mail order vendors. Is the CC in your parents name or yours? If it is in your name, you should have no problem buying at a retail store as long as you have your passport for identification. Will you be staying with relatives? Could they run the purchase through their CC (reimburse in cash via ATM)?

Most of the carriers in the USA use a different technology than the rest of the world. You need a GSM phone. AT&T and T-Mobile both use GSM but use different frequencies for voice and data than most/all of Asia. So you are looking for a quad band phone that supports the frequency used in Indonesia. 2100? If you bought a prepaid T-mobile phone they would unlock it after 60 days and $10 in your account. (Or pay someone on ebay for the unlock code $10) T-mobile has some good prices but they only have a few prepaid android phones. LG Optimus T/Optimus One ($120) and the Samsung Galaxy S ($350) https://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/prepaid.aspx

You can also buy an unlocked phone that has been imported into the USA. If you buy a quad band phone, you could use it in the usa and in Indonesia. One of the major problems is that the vendors are almost all mail-order firms. If you are dealing with family, you could have them order it before you arrived so that you could have it right away. The Samsung Galaxy S2 looks like it is available via mail order for around $700-$800 USD with NO Warranty.
[General Questions and Answers] Flyer888:
Unfortunately I don't have any relative there. The cc is in my name, so no problem right?

Because of that I'm looking for concrete stores maybe such as BestBuy, Walmart or anything else but I don't know which one of them gives me the best one?

Oh, so altough I buy in stores like I said before, instead of in the carrier's itself store am I still forced to buy the "post-paid system?"

As I know they're able to give it away off-contract but with higher price and locked, right?

I think most of the new smartphones are using quad band so that's not a problem... Because I have a friend here using a Captivate and it is fully functional after he unlocked it to be able to use the SIM cards issued here.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Explore3:
I will agree that most of the new smartphones sold outside the USA are quadband. Probably most smartphones sold by T-mobile and AT&T or are unlocked will be quadband and most likely support 3g frequency in your country. If the phone is associated with ANY other carrier, 90% of the time it will not support GSM.

PS I never bought from them but if you are in Chicago you could check out http://welectronics.com/gsm/Samsung/SAMSUNG_I9100-GALAXY-S-II-16GB.HTML In NYC - http://www.jr.com/category/office/cellular-phones/n/4294528936-4294605649/sort-by-salePrice-1/ One of the few places that you might be able to haggle on the price (Source: web posting).

At&t? There's your problem ;)

I don't think it's an issue with the X10. My X10 (no 3g mods but on TMO-usa) pulls anywhere from 2600 to 4540 down and 600 to 1238 up from my home (70-80 ms).

It has more to do with the tower you're pulling data from (and any network restrictions).

I recently ran into some trouble getting my i9100 to automatically launch Samsung's desk clock when I plugged it in via A/C or an unofficial dock. I found the solution and decided to post it here in the hopes it will help someone else.

It seems that it is more than a matter of simply launching the clock application, the phone has to believe it is in a docked state otherwise all you get is the alarm menu. This means tasker isn't enough.

I tried a few different methods, but the only way I could get it to work without any user interaction necessary with this app on the market for $1.

That's cool, but this phone is already huge, in the picture it makes it look like it adds 20% more height and 10% more width. For battery it might be worth it tho, hehe. Anyone know how much it is? ... oh just saw $70 ... ouch, hmm. I bought an original second battery on eBay for $20, and it's doing the trick for those times when I run too low
[Samsung Infuse 4G] briansj:
Agree. A 2nd battery is good enough for me. Don't wanna add more weight / size to the phone
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tankmorph:
Don't worry bella, it's no bigger or heavier than the GIANT shells/cases/whatever many of us decide to put on our phones anyway. :rolleyes:

It weighs 2 oz and ADDS 1450mAh battery capacity.

I'll probably get one to use on trips, etc. Not much of a daily driver for me at that weight. The Infuse weighs just under 5 oz naked.

I guess the reasoning is here that you have the 2nd battery already attached to the phone, and you don't have to carry it around separately somewhere.
