Yup - I'm planning on installing this kernel, not for the OC, but for the UV.

I just wish I'd known about Xan's app before I paid for SetCPU. :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 3GBeyotch:
@bedwa -I'm with you on that. I did a wipe so I have a "virginal" 1.50 Infused installed. Installed the UV/OC kernel and everything looks good. I then did a titanium restore on select applications (all of them non-system) and installed VC and everything is running smooth @ 1.4 so far.

So, I must of done a Titanium FULL restore that foobar'd everything. Thanks for looking into it for me!

I'm using minus 150 across the board and over clocked to 1.4 ghz and its running really smooth here. I created the folder in /etc so it saved my settings and profile and I know that because I rebooted multiple times and when loaded the voltage control app back, it loaded all my settings and kept my under voltage settings too.

Gettin pretty good battery life here. 10 hours in, 2 hours of display being on, used bluetooth for about an hour and 45 minutes of talking on the phone and I'm currently on 52 percent. I'll take that ANY DAY!

Amazing Battery Life

So I've been running this kernel with SetCPU and JuiceDefender since about 3 hours after it came out. Today I've been playing around with undervolting and thought I would share my experiences. I will post back my thoughts on battery life tommorow. And of course this is loaded on top of Infused 1.50

I'm running ondemand when the screen is on, and conservative with a forced max of 400 when screen is off.

At 1400, 1200, 800, 400 & 100 I ran the following benchmarks(after making sure to set the min & max to the same speed, and disable all event scheduling):

StabilityTest 1.5 for 2 CPU cycles

NeoCore Benchmark

Quadrant Benchmark​

And I had no stability issues. I have been running SetCPU as shown below for about 2 hours, and light use (music player, youtube, sms, phone) and have had no issues yet.

I'm trying to save my VC settings. I have created a init.d folder in etc. how do I kow it saved my settings?

thanks for any info.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] saywhat4118:
Try rebooting your phone, and then go back into vc app and see if it saved your settings
[Samsung Infuse 4G] saywhat4118:
hey crazynfo, you seem to know a lot about voltage settings. I used voltage control app by xan and over clocked it to 1.4 ghz, lowered voltages across the board down 150and saved the settings. Did couple stress test, some bench marking and everything is running smooth. Do you think I lowered the voltages properly? And that the voltages really did get lowered? How can you check?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nervad:
Just wanted to try out the new benchmark cf-bench and post

[Samsung Infuse 4G] nervad:

My quadrant runs 1900s-2100s
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crazynfo:
I do not have any experience with xan's voltage control, I wanted to use SetCPU so I could setup a profile for screen off. If I understand right you need to have a init.d in /etc to save the settings on reboot. One way to check the voltage is to set a specific frequency's voltage, then put the minimum & maximum frequency to that voltage, and open up a program like Battery Widget(etc.) and check the current drain. You should be able to see a difference on the current drain from the battery when you change the voltage. If you are having problems seeing a difference in current usage try:

1) Set the UV for the frequency you lock to -0, turn on battery monitoring, and turn off your screen for 5 minutes

2)set the UV for the frequency you lock to whatever you want, and turn off your screen for 5 minutes. Now you should be able to see a difference in the current drain/usage.

And thanks for the compliment, I just started undervolting today, but I've been underclocking & overclocking for 2 days. Lots of PC experience, but this Infuse is my first smartphone.

Recent Battery Drain (Start from 100% with phone OFF):

3 Hours, 45 Minutes Screen on, Playing NFS Shift @1400-75, 1 hour phone use, 1 hour bluetooth on, wifi on for 25 minutes. Phone Asleep with screen off rest of the time. In the attached graph, the second sharp red drop is NFS Shift, the other drops are bluetooth phone use.

I'm going back to a full charge right now, because that does not represent normal usage for me.

I love this attitude of any dev...!!! This is what make the devs so amazing!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
Sad how even oc'ing more than 20% yields not much more power or speed... Benchmarks are weak I mean quandrant of around 2000 at 1.8 oc'ed is sad. Now even though I own an infuse now due to the awesome dev team putting out great work! on my previous streak I could get 2500 quadrant scores no oc'ing on the 1 ghz CPU. Guess that's the difference between hummingbird and snapdragon? Now other than the ability to get amazing benchmarks and a huge 5" screen the streak had 0 support and only 1 not quite silky smooth and refined rom..... anyway sorry to ramble I love my infuse and all its smooth and buttery android goodness!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MattSoRaven:
I'm about to install infusion but was hoping someone could tell me if i'm missing something. Thanks a bunch!

-i'm going to download infusion 1.8.zip not kernel.zip

- shutdown and boot into red cwm

-select the zip and install.

-reboot

I don't need to clear cache our anything right?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] popesmasseuse:
Depends on what kernal you are coming from. However, pretty much every kernal mentioned in the forums are voodoo based so you don't really need to worry about clearing cache. However, if this is something that will put your mind at ease I suppose go for it. Doesn't hurt to do it other than letting itself rebuild a cache. But other than that, you got all of the steps right.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
benchmarks aren't always usefull. also the sgs got better quadrant scores on 2.1 than 2.2. my captivate got 2675 with oclf and a 1.2 ghz kernel with the gpu overclocked to 222.334 MHz . with stagefright set a certain way on 2.3 3000+ is reasonable with 1.3ghz. go more by observable capabilities than numeric scores.

things like fps per screen resolution, performance on h.264 codec 1080p files at different classes and bit rates. you will see that this is more capable than a snapdragon unless you are crunching numbers. also look at dual core devices getting 2200 for the snapdragon and 2500 for the tegra but a whopping 3700 for the sgs2 orion processor yet the snapdragon dualcore has a quicker gpu. it is so subjecive, the number score is basically irrelevant.

I think someone should look at unhelpful's code for his captivate eclair kernels. there was no app support for the setting. it was done in a table the user had to make up but it supported under and over volt for the system and cpu, under and overclock for the cpu and gpu and if you tricked the settings a certain way you could fine tune the bus speed by bumping up the cpu and gpu speeds by an equal percentage. I thought this was the best oc/uv system out there as there was no sleep death issues. it never made it into the i9000 kernels which the captivate crowd adopted. from what I remember about the way the gpu worker there seemed to be a divider with a value of 10 then some other multplier after and unhelpful reduced that divider to 9, giving about a 11% oc but it could also be set to 11 (9% uc) or 12 (17% uc) I don't know which digit in the tables it is but I based on what clocks for the gpu worked in the configuration table this seems to be the logic used in the background.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Bedwa's been learning a LOT about all of those clocks (GPU, buses) lately.

I personally recommended to him not to mess with bus OC for this release, especially since it means forced overclocking for some users that may only want UV.

I like the idea of a kernel where bus OC is available to the user and controllable by the user. But that should probably wait for a later release (like after GB drops and we've gotten all of our stuff ported to GB.)

And I agree, benchmarks are pretty worthless, which is why I've only run Quadrant once or twice and don't worry about scores much. Keep in mind it's not a CPU-only benchmark, it's an overall one, so if you crank the CPU without cranking other things you won't see too much improvement. Also, as others have mentioned, there are ways to tune a system for Quadrant that make the system a piece of junk for other workloads, the H.264 playback hacks are a prime example. You can apparently tweak the video playback engine to deliver insane Quadrant scores, but in the process you'll disable the ability to play back video for 3/4+ of the media you used to be able to play back.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bedwa:
I'm planning a "pick your poison" or "choose your own adventure" release. I'm going back to basics on the main kernel, actual ceiling is about 1670 MHz (sorry guys, helps if I calculate things right) and the new one will have an approximately 210 bus speed (seems Max for stability), written from the bottom of the scale up. I am still determined to make 2.0 special. ;)

no 1.8ghz anymore?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
You never actually had it. bedwa's calculations for 1.8 were wrong, it wasn't actually clocking at 1.8.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
I knew it! cause the 7-1/ 1.6 kernel seems a lot faster then the 1.8. that's why I'm using 7-1 1.6 kernel.

so what was it clocking? if you dont mind me asking? if bedwa already replied to this question, disregard my question.

Thx devs for everything
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tight686:
Hey guys. "LinuxBozo" over in the Defuse thread managed to get BLN working. Tried it myself. Works great.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Based on what I can figure out, 1542 MHz.

And I'm not sure if bedwa's calcs for what he was really getting when he thought 2.4 GHz are correct... I'm getting 1600 MHz (600*24/9) with no GPU overclock based on https://github.com/bedwa/Infusion-Kernel/commit/114dbd70a3b3cea1cdfe1bcb2083351f26a6f45f
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
i asked this in one of the other threads, but do the previous versions of infusion also suffer from unintentionally incorrect clock speeds as well? version 1.6 and earlier..etc
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
I don't think they do. I'm running the 7-1-11.6 kernel and I get 2300+ benchmarks...I don't know if that means anything. with the 1.8 kernel, I use to get 2000-mid 2100..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Not sure, I'll need to look, but I think it's mainly for speeds above 1600.

Edit: 1600 looks good to me. There's a possibility peripheral/GPU clocks at some speeds might have been lower than desired, but core clocks were good.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
my opinion is that the below kernel is best FOR ME. this is one works great for me.

Thank you for the HUGE compliment, but so far (until 1.7GHz up) it's been applying other people's patches and making sure that they work. From here on I'm trying to cross impliment some other things....

(Plus, I've noticed that OnDemand seems to be unstable for ALL Hummingbird type processors... I'm thinking of disabling it till I can make it stable.)

And here's a treat. It's one of my backups from just before my recent mods with speedmod....

With Working UV!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Video problems were in 1.5.1/1.5.2 - bedwa attempted to port speedmod from the GS phones. What this did was reduce the size of reserved memory regions to free up RAM for general usage.

However, in our case, those size reductions broke a lot of stuff. My guess is those memory regions are a lot closer to where they need to be in the Infuse than they were for SGS devices.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] popesmasseuse:
[Q] What do you guys prefer with this kernal. SetCPU or Voltage Control? I am bouncing back and forth and would like some more input.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] falgun:
voltage control
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
you may be able to get 1.5 with a little trickery. if you use the performance governor it sometimes acts more stable so you have the opritunuty to test voltage settings and see if the cpu can run at that speed long term before you return it back to conservative governor.

on 1.5 with performance gov lower the voltage till it freezes then go back up 50mv. check the actual voltage and set 1.4 to the same voltage as 1.5. then from there down i go in 400mhz steps, but some go im 200mhz steps. then i turn on 100 and 200 mhz. then you can play with the other voltage settings.

this might not work, 1.5 may be beyond your limits but it also might just need proper voltage settings for your particular cpu.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
You should use the 7-1-11-1.6 kernel. This one has accurate ocing speed. Read about it on the OP.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Frooty:
For some reason this kernel likes to kill my phone. It seems to cause a lot of lag for me when I'm on the home screen and do simple things such as move screens left/right, or open up some menus. It also kills my battery like a *****. I went from 100% when I unplugged my phone at 8am to 40% at 1pm, and I only moderately used it.

I leave all the default clock speeds set and didn't enable any over 1200 Mhz, and I changed the voltage settings to be about half of the bar for each one(but no matter what the voltage is set to it still drains my battery life like crazy).

This happened to me to before when I tried the kernel when it was first released, then I stopped using it until h8 put it in his rom, and it is still happening to me again. For now I switched back to Defuse 1.5, but does anyone know why this kernel annihilates my battery?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
if anything i have had excelent battery life with this kernel. but after using it for many dasy i did see issues with lag, wifi that needs to be reset because it fails to auto connect and other problems. there seem to be timing errors as well, we may not be anywhere near 1.8ghz, entropy said in a post he believes it to be 1552mhz or something.

my benchmarks were better with the 1.5.3 kenrel by a good margin and to be honest my phone seems more consisstant and smooth with the community kernel. defuse is good but my battery doesnt last as long with that one.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Frooty:
Yeah I'd say I didn't notice the lag until a few days after I installed this kernel, but I did have wifi connection issues even on Defuse.

I'm not too worried about overclocking though, I didn't overclock my phone at all. I might try the community kernel and see if that's any better later.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
defuse is great if you need bln. it might not work at first sometimes but i did get it working and it stayed working. other than that the community kernel is all you need. overclocking is good fun but not often very advantageous.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Weird. I'm getting MUCH better results than that.

Have you done a direct A/B comparison with the following kept EXACTLY the same?

Apps in use/active at start of test

Services active at start of test

Signal strength/quality of cell signal

Also, go to the dialer and hit *#*#INFO#*#* after you've discharged, and choose Battery History. What's your "Other Usage->Running" percentage since last unplugged?

Is there anything standing out as unusual in Sensor, GPS, or Partial Wake usage?

For me, Partial Wake shows Android System as the top user at around 25% of the indicator bar. Sensor and GPS are almost negligible. Running percentage in Other Usage is around 30%.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trouzzermouse:
I have been getting great bat life. Oc'ed at 1600 on 1.8 Kern and infused 1.5.3. I went 30 hours with 20% left. 3 hours display, 12 min phone call. It was not zconstant use but it was more use than normal.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Frooty:
I haven't done any direct comparisons, but I use my phone pretty much the exact same way every day so I'd imagine the apps would be about the same. I know the services are the same since I haven't ran any lately. Also I pretty much just stay at my apartment and then go to school, and then come back, so the signal strength should be exactly the same as it was last week before I tried this kernel.

I was charging before I read this post(I'll try looking at it again tomorrow once I've been running all day on battery), but it has been unplugged for about 15 minutes right now and the running is at 13.4%. In this screen, my Screen on is 8.3%, Phone on is 0.2%, Wifi On is 100% and Wifi Running is 100%. I'm almost always connected to wifi, but I don't know if that should be like that or not. Nothing else is really sticking out much.

I did notice earlier today that in Settings > About Phone > Battery Use, my display has been about 88%. I keep it at the lowest brightness there is and before it used to stay at around 60% or so. I'm not sure why it's at 90% now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] HiddenSanctum:
My Voltage Control Settings are resetting itself after reboot even if I click on save as boot settings. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hmm, seems to have been fixed. Cell Standby is actually showing as higher than display today. This is the first time I've ever seen this - I've had it show Display over Cell Standby even in a situation where the screen had been off for 8+ hours while I slept.

However, Display seems to include ANYTHING other than radio-related power usage - e.g. CPU usage and such is lumped in with "display".

Have you had any luck at 1.8? I can run without a problem at 1.6, but just can't push it. I have setcpu up for ondemand. Is that the she setting you are using?

R
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trouzzermouse:
I was stable at 1.8 but like everyone has been saying, the 1.8 is not really 1.8. I could only get my phone to hit 1.8 when using performance gov. or On demand. Otherwise I would pick up 1.6 on CPUspy with conservative gov.

I think some people got to the "1.8" by deselecting frequency's to sort of force the 1.8, or just using performance. I just stick with conservative. I'm not even getting 1.6 right now when I have it set, I only hit 1.4 judging by cpuspy but my phone is running great so I just leave it alone. I have been judging my speed by real world interactions with the phone. Like multitasking, playing around with YouTube, seeing how fast Google maps redraws when you scroll.

I think entropy has his own special sauce going based on this kernel so not sure if he is at 1.8. I guess when the new kernel comes out we will have a better idea of where we are at .
