I would try smartass first and see how the battery goes. Then, try ondemand and compare battery life and see which one u like better ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
Out of curiosity, why is it that when using a kernel like Netarchy I can select from several CPU speeds in Settings -> Advanced -> Performance -> CPU, but can't using this kernel?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Idk lol. The governor and 1.4 is there.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
*are ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] s3v3nXDA:
Math, is it possible you can add reboot and reboot to recovery to the power menu?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
I think that's a rom option.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
what rom are you using? thats a rom thing, not kernel.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] 1970mueller:
I see only one download link, and it takes me to a forum/market. Is this correct?

Nexus S 4G using CM7n and Matrix 5.5 bfs
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yes, I just changed it. It should take you to the ACS forum haha
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
hows the kernel?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Works amazing.... nice work :)

Using with dreams updated rom!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] TMan459:
Is there no BLN support in 6.0? Using BLN Control tells me this kernel's version of liblights isn't supported. Perhaps a newer revision of liblights and the BLN Control developer needs to update their app?

Any insight would be appreciated.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Huh??? It works just fine on my phone...

Maybe reinstall the app?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] onigiri1692:
6.0 is running smoothly with no problems whatsoever even with my undervolting. I'm loving the new 940mhz clock speed, I can't wait to see what you do next, keep up the good work.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] falterego:
I'm feeling more and more like I have a defective Nexus S. The 6.0 kernel installed fine and ran very smooth last night, but when I woke up this morning (about 8 hours after flashing), the phone was not responsive. I did a battery pull and when it booted up I got nothing but com.android.phone crashes over and over. I had to do another battery pull because I couldn't get the screen to go away long enough to even pull up the app drawer. I went into recovery and reflashed to my trusted 4.5 and it's been working great all day (a good 15 hours). I'll give 6.0 another try tomorrow.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hugo87:
Im getting the same thing. Running 6.0 with AOSP premium 2.0. Opened up bln and tells me the version of liblights is not supported. Hmm weird. Other than that its running super smooth and I've noticed increased battery life.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] onigiri1692:
BLN is working just fine for me with 6.0, maybe reinstalling the app will fix the problem.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hugo87:
I tried that still gives me the error.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] brokentoaster24:
Bln isn't working for me either :(

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] onigiri1692:
Well maybe if you reflash your rom it will fix the problem. Since matr1x 6.0 came out the same night as the new nightly for petes rom I flashed them both in recovery at the same time, that is the only thing out of the ordinary that I did when I flashed the kernel.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bearsblack:
Loving the 940 setting! Running cfs good so far but just had some random reboots after trying to access gmail then nothing would work so I cleared app data after a batt pull and so far so smooth. Thanks for this!

sent from ns4g via xda app
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] petrochemicals:
I am on cyanogen nightly 84, and BLN does not work for me either. Says liblights is not supported.

I deleted BLN and installed noled. I did not like noled before because the touchkeys never turned off, but with the touchkey dimmer all is well. So really for me I do not need BLN anymore as noled is way more informative. Thanks for all the work on this great kernel.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Guys I'm so sorry, I didn't add in the lights file for bln...

It should work now!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Jeremiah239:
So redownload and reflash v6 and it will fix it?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hugo87:
Thanks for the update. I can confirm its working now with BLN app. Thanks again!

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] petrochemicals:
Is it me, or are there no links to the fixed kernel on the front page?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
the links have changed, yeah. now it redirects to the acs forum
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] petrochemicals:
Okay I see it now.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yeah haha :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Overstew:
Performance mode has by far the best battery to date. V6.0 is amazing!

Thanks Mathkid!

Btw, is this release any different than the test build I'm on? lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
yeah, the test build I sent you doesnt have the touchkey dimmer ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Zorachus:
So Performance mode gives better battery life than On Demand ?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
You should try both and see which works better for you
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bkrasso:
Question for Math, does 6.0 include the patch that Peter Alfonso made that allows Tethering or do I need to install the patch or will the patch even work with Matr1x? Thanks so much.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
It should work with it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] falterego:
Ok, so another wipe of dalvik and cache and reinstall of 6.0 BFS seems to have worked. It's been nice and steady for a day and a half now. I left the clock speed and voltage settings alone, haven't even opened SetCPU and nothing has gone wrong. I got one FC on Youtube, but a second opening of the app worked and it's been fine ever since.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Oh ok, sweet!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
That patch is in the rom not the kernel so if your rom supports it the kernel will not affect it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yeah, I mean most ppl were successful with it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bkrasso:
Awesome, thanks so much.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Been a long time since I've heard anything from this thread Haha ;)

Hows v6.0?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Running smooth as silk for me. Using the 940 setting.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] duce102:
sorry for being a nexus noob.... i own the epic 4g and my gf has the nexus s 4g.... i know we (the epic community) has journaling on (more stable) and off (faster).... i see you all have bfs and cfs... which one is more stable (bfs or cfs)? and is this colonel compatible with dreams' AOSP+ premium v2 rom? i flashed them together and i got to the Android boot ani and it sat there for a while like it was in a loop :confused:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
As long as his Rom is 2.3.4 based it should work. I would go Cfs as its better all around ;)

Lemme know what happens! Make sure to wipe dalvik cache!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] duce102:
Ah thats the problem, his is 2.3.5 lmao whats a good 2.3.5 kernel? Sorry for the off topic
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Does this have the latest bld bug fixes?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
No mine works in 2.3.5 lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
And no, I haven't been keeping up lol

I do have them all, so I know what to do :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] brandonkahn:
Is there a kernel out that makes the charging go faster? I'm a heavy user and even using Pete Alfonso ROM/kernel UC to 800 I run out fast and sometimes this damn phone takes longer to charge than the time I get to use... I even use a 1amp charger compared to the .7 that comes with the device
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Do you mean sbc?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wild1z:
I would just order up some batteries and an external charger. All that plugging and unplugging can't be too good for the port. Just sayin. ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blizzake:
6.0 is great... Really smooth thanks math kid :-D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Zorachus:
For best battery life are people running it "On Demand" or "Performance" mode ? I have CPU set at 940mhz.

Is 6.0 or 5.5 the best for battery ?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tailsthecat3:
On demand governor should provide better battery life over performance governor regardless of kernel.

For matrix kernels I like 5.5
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Ondemand is a.very nice overall governor :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Zorachus:
Does anyone recommend a battery saving app like "Juice Defender" or "Green power" or are those never really worth and don't work too well in the real world ? Was just thinking for when the phone goes to sleep, doesn't the battery drain searching for signal even if it's just sitting on your desk ?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
For me its not too drastic but im pretty sure it still does
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] snrbobo:
i'm a heavy user and it doesn't really help me due to me always being on my phone haha but i do use juice defender beta at night. instead of my phone dropping around 10% it drops about 2% when i turn it on. i use custom settings tho. i'm sure it could help you out if you're not on your phone every second haha
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yeah I mean you can try it and see
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigtoysrock:
For some reason all the sudden I lost the backlight dimmer function. It had been working great, then poof they don't shut off in 30sec anymore. I tried reflashing the enabler and no dice. Next step wipe dalvik reflash kernel and then enable again?

Also posted in bld thread as I have no idea which part needs fixing.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yeah try reflashing kernel
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigtoysrock:
Yeah no dice. :(

Would messing or changing the framework have something to do with this? Like a metamorph zip to change the lockscreen?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigtoysrock:
Well damn. I guess I can't have my cake and eat it to! Mmmmm cake :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bnitty:
just updated Miui ROM & now when I receive any notification now my phone isn't lighting up. what am I doing wrong?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rev3ge07:
What's the difference between BFS and CFS??
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Google ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigtoysrock:
If you search the thread it has been covered a few times.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Google is just much more convenient ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] derekwilkinson:
What do you mean by not lighting up? Do you have BLN installed?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Bln is baked in but I think you should get the app lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blueescalade88:
I'm on cyanogen nightlies and bln stopped working for me when i updated to 6.0. I installed the app and it said that It wasnt installed or invalid or something. I went back to 5.5 and it works again and the app recognizes its installed. Any idea what the problem is?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigtoysrock:
Mine did the same thing but on decks rom. If I remember right all I did was reflash kernel after dalvok wipe and reboot a second time.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yep just reflash
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blueescalade88:
Yup that worked.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pyropup55:
First off, this is making my battery life amazing. Stupid question though, would this cause my phone to lose signal until rebooted?

Sent from my Super Duper Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Question

so what exactly is this rom? a stock, modded rom ?

i dont really see a explanation of whats what?

thanks!

im a ACS follower from when i had my epic.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigtoysrock:
This is not a rom, but a kernel.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
lol im slow.

for some reason with my monitor turned down i couldnt see KERNEL right in the title!

:X
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigtoysrock:
I was so seriously wanting to be a smartass! But with people get easily affended, I refrained. Glad you fingured it out :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
lol i feel like such a n00b!!

:x

my next question is going to be if i need to be rooted to use this LOL
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bnitty:
I reflashed but still no bln activity. tried to download it & gave me an error message. I think it's just the new Miui bkuz I went to a previous version of Miui & it was fine
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yeah I think its the new version
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] KBizzle:
I am running CM7 and I am also getting an error message. Says "This liblights does not support BLN".
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Redownload the zip, I forgot the lights file before
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigtoysrock:
See what you started!

BTW, since 6.0, zero issues, no reboots, lockups or freezes. Awesome!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
;)

Guys look in the matr1x gsm thread and post about the speeds I'm planning on adding
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigtoysrock:
Did you want us to post there or here? To late posted there. :p
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sigaiser:
So what's this screen dimmer I've read about on three forums? Another module added to kernels? What's the function?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
I will be adding it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sigaiser:
I gathered that...but what exactly is "it"?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
The bld/touch wake/screen dimmer

That's gonna be in the next update
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigtoysrock:
Say that 3 times fast!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sigaiser:
Haha...you still don't get what i'm asking...besides the obvious, what exactly does the screen dimmer do???
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Ezekeel has a thread on it ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] derekwilkinson:
haha :p i can't say it one time
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Master Ramy:
Ok so im a Nexus newb, but not a newb to the android world or to rooting. that said, many of these are rather new terms for me, coming from the older phone that i had. so anyway, onto my questions. i have basically been told that this is practically the best kernel for the 4g Nexus S. i was told its performance will match and then beat the original kernel, and that its battery will do the same. basically, this is the kernel at the end of the rainbow. so my question is, how do i utilize its awesome powers? as in, what program should i use to set it to overclock to 1.4 for max performance while also resulting in atleast the same battery life as the original? (if this setting wouldnt match this statement, please give me the setting that would) what about the BD thing? what app do i need?

Things like that :) im running stock rom right now cause i cant find a rom worth upgrading to, if anyone would like to suggest a rom thats actually better than stock, especially the kernel dev, id love to check it out :)

Naturally, its very important that i dont damage any hardware, but im guessing for a kernel of this popularity its probably not out melting cpus, atleast not on a regular basis :)

so advice is needed!

Also, u say its ext4, does that mean i must be running all on ext4 to run this kernel?

Thanks so much for your time, please respond asap

~ Master Ramy
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Lol get setcpu to set the speeds, I explained how to use the bld in the op, and ext4 is a filesystem
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tailsthecat3:
Are you literally laughing out loud at every post? ;-)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Master Ramy:
Yes I realize its a file system I'm asking doing need to have all partitions running eext4 for this kernel to get optimum performance? And tho its not a big deep what quad scores r u guys getting? Cause best I'm getting is 1600s am I missing something? Stock rom this kernel Cfs. And which governor do u recommend? Thanks for ur patience and help :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
I don't think so
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Master Ramy:
K and what about my other questions?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigtoysrock:
With decks rom and this kernel I get upwords of 2300 quad.

As far as gov, it kinda depends on what you need and when. On demand and smartass give great results with battery and performence.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yeah its just personal preference
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Master Ramy:
Whtlats in decks ron and not in stock? I wanna find a good ron that's atleast as good as stock and one that's looks as nice. Open to suggestions. I'm gonna stick with ondemand for now tyty
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
You could try oxygen too ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Master Ramy:
I just might :) ur ekernel atb 1.4 murders my battery. Now I've reflashedbit and leaving its ocinging on default. Should I mess with voltages or is the kernel already optimized for atleast stock batteeylife and performance?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Well if you get reboots I would raise em by 5-10
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] BrianDigital:
Runs great on mine and my girls nexus
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Great kernel kid but after trying Netarchy's latest and comparing, yours makes my app drawer ever so slightly slower. I must say though, the overall battery life and smoothness is excellent.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Master Ramy:
So help me out. as far as overall performance and battery life, Matr1x or Netarchy?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Try both.and see lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anaglich:
While matrix does have more lag when scrolling, it has much better support and battery life.

Is it possible the fps limit hasn't been removed for the ns4g?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] GeezyAF:
I've had bad experiences with netarchy. Use matrix or Trinity.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yeah try them all and pick one :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MarkGbe:
Great work, thanks for your efforts. One question... Would it be possible to add a 1.3 ghz freq ?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yeah its coming back in the next version
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MarkGbe:
ah, very cool. Thanks again!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] trevtt600:
My gps is not finding itself with this kernel. Has anyone else had this problem?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
I think there was this issue before... Try flashing the other variant (cfs/bfs)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] trevtt600:
I tried both. Using GPS fix app, it shows it only fixing to 2 God's but it finds as many as 12... I have never had an issue with the GPS either. Thanks for checking into it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Hmm... Do you have a backup of another rom you could maybe try it on?

Let's just make sure if its the Rom that's causing an issue. Maybe run a different Rom and lemme know ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] trevtt600:
I don't know what happen. I tried the GPS on the way home from work and wala... it worked great. Sorry to bug ya.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Alrighty haha! Glad it's working now! :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mstein01:
am i the only one who can't find the link for 6.0 in the OP? lol

the only link i see takes me to the github

TIA
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Theres a huge DOWNLOAD link in blue lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mstein01:
OMG dude im retarded! i don't know how i missed that! LMAO

...straight up embarrassed right now! haha
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jietzer:
dont feel bad you wasnt the only one. I over looked it as well and was waiting for your post to get answered lol weird
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Don't mean to bash your kernel kid, as it is my favorite and very reliable, but I think you should look into why scrolling, in namely the stock 2.3.5 app drawer, is not as fluid as in netarchys.

I don't think it is the undervolting, but I could be wrong.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] crzycrkr:
Maybe your phone? Matr1x is much more fluid than Netarchy for me
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Can't see how that would be it. Are you using the default launcher?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MarkGbe:
i use adw so i can't speak regarding the default launcher, but i've tested this kernel, netarchy, and trinity, and i can not tell any difference with scrolling or anything ui related.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] crzycrkr:
Yes I am. Some phones handle things differently. Matr1x is much better on my phone, it never even hiccups at anything I do
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Interesting. Maybe I'll have to do a side by side comparison with my buddies nexus and my own. Its not glitchy, it would just appear to be running at a slower fps when compared to netarchy. Are you all running cfs or bfs?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] crzycrkr:
CFS, smartass governor. Netarchy is just all around a touch slower on my phone. I have upped the voltages by 5 because I was having a few lockups with the current version and the ROM I use, but that seemed to have cleared it up.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anaglich:
It would appear that undervolting is the suspect. Does any one know what the launchers CPU speed is typically at when the app drawer is open so that I only need to raise a few voltages?

Also how does one adjust the screen to be more responsive?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] crzycrkr:
I would just raise all of them 5 at a time. It really doesn't affect battery life noticeably
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Went to stock voltages. Night and day. Played with them before but must of have had something else slowing it down.

Thanks for the help.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yeah I think the launcher runs differently on different phones
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
V6.5 coming soon
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Sweet!!

Sent from my tricked out pay phone across the street from the liquor store.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Hey kid, great to hear 6.5 is almost here. Do you have written somewhere your recommended voltages?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Uh I'm still testing voltages
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MarkGbe:
F5 F5 F5 F5 F5. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Lol..... :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jorim.tielemans:
Just look at his last commit on his github, it says:

"Update kernel base to 2.6.35.14 and test out speeds and voltages. These voltages and speeds do not work, though."

I wish i could try it though.

@Mathkid: i just saw you created a repository for a kernel for the HTC Sensation.

GoGoGo! xp lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yea, that was mainly to push out the 2.6.35.14

But dont worry, I will get this out soon enough lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] duce102:
Hey again, im sorry if this is already asked (im still a NS4G noob lol) but is this ext4 compatible?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Ya
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] duce102:
Thank you and thank you for the quick reply :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Kernel update!

note that I've changed the bootup speed from 1.2 Ghz to 1 Ghz.

Lemme know how this one runs!

thanks!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fergie716:
Thank you sir!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
Thanks Mathkid

Edit: boots up at 1200mhz still
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yeah download links are down and a fix is coming
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anaglich:
New kernel is working great so far. Thanks kid.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joeyddr:
is the new wireless driver included?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Yeah this is 2.6.35.14
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
M6.5 is running great, I'm currently on Oxy 2.2.2 rom. I scaled down 1000mhz and all is good.
