I would have to imagine that the non overclock version of this kernel gets some pretty amazing battery. Especially when idle.

I have admittedly touched the phone a little less than usual (but have been doing some non stop tinkering over the last hour) than usual but I am at about 73 percent after 13 hours (Mostly idle. Checked my twitter feed a few times and took a couple short calls. WIFI has been enabled the whole time are well. ) but so far this is the best I have experienced since I used Red Pill v3.

I can't speak for actual battery life but I can say that my idle drain appears to be mostly non existent which to me is the most important.

This is not meant to be definitive but any means. Just wanted to share for anyone on the fence about the 1.3 OC and CM7 or even this latest kernel version in general.

Might add a screen capture later

Edit: it is late and in the last post I was way off with how long it has been off the charger lol but I have only lost about ten percent after having the screen on for a straight hour and doing some stuff in titanium
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
great stuff im at 64% battery after 24 hours. anyhow i have a question, does it support OTG/usb host mode after applying an otg cable+powered usb hub ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nok07635:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ilkinansr92:
The battery life is insane im running CM7 Beta with Enhanced Stock Kernel, Max @ 1.0 GHz and uV'ed i got 21 hours and still at 66% with light use. Few phone calls, txt, check better battery stats for wake logs, then battery graph , also used it to check email and XDA app
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Is there a major significant speed difference between 1.3Ghz and enhanced version?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fischwrap:
My cf bench was around 3100 with the oc kernel, and around 2500 with the enhanced kernel. I'm still kinda new to all this, but for what its worth...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Is that the java score? What were the other scores?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fischwrap:
On the oc they were right around the galaxy s II scores (I think something like 1100, 3100, ???). On the enhanced, they were like 1000, 2500, 6500 if I remember correctly
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fischwrap:
What is the best benchmark app to use? I used cf-bench, quadrant, and antutu. Quadrant gave me a 3400 and antutu 4800 with the enhanced kernel. Haha, nor write sure weekday to make of it all. My phone its performing great tho

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
I'm trying the Enhanced kernel right now.

My thoughts:

- Battery life is INSANE! I UV'ed a LOT (see sig) and results are amazing.

- Phone is VERY cool, especially when compared to the OC kernel.

- Noticed that the GPU doesn't seem to be OC'ed as 3D scores are lower.

- Phone is very smooth but there does seem to be a speed loss (when compared to OC kernel). 1.3Ghz DOES feel faster (I used to think that OC was mostly placebo but I guess not).

However, what is so 'enhanced' about this kernel? My CF Bench scores are only slightly higher than stock Atrix...

So what are the main differences between stock and this kernel (except for Ext4)?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
It's too bad the GX2 scores are the stock scores though...the GX2 with CM7 like our Atrix with CM7 is probably a lot better...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
I am also getting similar scores to yours. IMO, AnTuTu is probably the most accurate with the only problem being that if you have a faster SD card, your score will go much higher.

Quadrant is OK and very well known but it is very easy to get false results from it.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

O2X has WVGA, so it has to render less pixels, hence the higher scores. Same goes to SGS2.

Putting this into consideration, Atrix still gets very good scores. Compare it to HTC Sensation for example (qHD screen) and you'll see that Atrix kills it, even @ stock 1Ghz vs Sensation's 1.2Ghz.

---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

LOL @ HTC hero :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ilkinansr92:
Did you guys take into consideration that 3D engine also depends on CPU OC? so if OC is lower the score is also lower. Try comparing the results to Stock Kernel.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Ah, very true. I forgot about that. The pixels are a big difference...I hope faux builds a kernel that will get us up to 1.5ghz so we can rule all though. Even at 1.5 do you think we could beat the Exynos?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
1.3Ghz beats Exynos despite qHD screen... (when SGS2 is @ 1.2ghz)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
Aha, found out myself, it does support otg/usb host fine (1ghz enhanced kernel)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Does it need external power source? does it auto mount drives etc?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
Yes it needs a powered usb hub, that is either modded so that the 5v from the psu is wired to the 5v line of the "host" usb plug or just use a Y cable with two male A usb connectors and the appropriate onn for the host side of the hub. Than plug the power only A male into one of the client ports on the hub, and the other male A into the otg cable, while plugging the third end into the host plug of the usb. It does automount (im on homebase 4.9), but it isnt shown in the files manager at all, yet with df in terminal emu you see it mounted and can cd to it and use the files. Than you have to manually unmount from term. Havent tried on webtop over hdmi yet.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Yeah, i doubt that it will show in the stock file manager app. but ES might be able to see it. I know the process of getting the 5v on the 5v rail and all, I was just wondering if the feature can be implemented that it will supply the 5v, therefore, no auxiliary power is necessary. Thanks for the in-depth description though!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
Sorry for spamming this here, but its kind of pointless to make a new thread for this one more reply.

so its probably impossible to make the phone output the 5v to support the devices, if nothing else it would leech the battery in moments (besides it has a 4v batt, it would need to convert it to 5v, and im sure the phone doesnt have the circuity for it. as for mounting i just tried with webtop over hdmi, it automounts vfat and so on (ext4 drives have to be mounted manually, but its no hassle), the bigger problem si with the automounted ones, which you cant unmount for some reason and the only way to safely remove them for now is to reboot the phone. regarding the file manager: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1240082 on the photon it seems to work fine, i just get a force close on the manager as i put in the usb key (it might have to do something with me running homebase and not stock 2.3.4). as for the amount of devices i have a 7 port hub, and connected a mouse, a kb, 2 usb keys, and it all worked fine. i assume the cm7 kernel version of fauxs 0.2.0 also has usb host support and will try to mess with cm7 and this feature soon.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MrCoolBear:
Hey guys, I have a question/concern. Is it normal for my phone to not be able to charge from usb. Like I plug it into my computer (usb 2) and it says "charging" but the battery level doesnt go up, it goes down. I have confirmed this with a veriety of batter managers, they all say I'm in a charging state, but the actual battery level is never charged and the battery meter continues to go down like it regularly would if I was not charging. It has no problem charging from the wall though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
probably the power of the usb is too weak to charge it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MrCoolBear:
It used to charge it fine. Does the device have to be connected to the computer? Like does the device have to request to be charged and the computer reply and say yes?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
What about your wall chargee? Does it react the same?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tbae2:
After running. 0.20 my phone runs really warm and drains the battery quickly. Going to try the non OC version unless anyone has any ideas I tried undervolting the lower ones but the higher frequencies didn't like to undervolt
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ian426:
Many thanks, Faux! I have been running your kernel pretty much since it came out and have been amazed by its constant improvement. v.20 is by far the best so far -- my phone is idling at incredibly low temperatures (from my experience, at least.... 28-33 degrees), and battery life has been great (at the rate mine has been draining, I could probably make it through two days on one charge -- at one day, two hours, with two hours of display time and still have 40% battery left).

Again, thanks a ton for your dedication to this project -- it is really making the atrix a much better phone.

(not to mention the fact that it is ridiculously fast -- never thought it would be hitting 3600+ on a deblurred rom)

Help getting this kernel working please

Anytime I try to either install this kernel over a rom or try to use a rom with this kernel already attached, the phone refuses to boot and either freezes at the boot screen or gets stuck in a boot loop. I have always cleared cache and dalvik when flashing.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I tried using the DarkSide rom, I also tried Alien, and I also tried using HomeBase, but none of them boot for me using the OC Unified GB Kernel Version 0.2.0, I tried previous versions as well as the latest version of the kernel. I always end up going back to the stock at&t kernel because thats the only one that seems to work for me. I don't know what could be causing the issue. I'd really love to use faux's kernel. Thanks for your help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] yeahmann:
I had the widget problem but it completely disappeared now. I don't know what I did. Didn't flash a new ROM. Still using the same Go Launcher. I did go from faux's 0.1.9 to 0.2. I also fixed permissions in the latest ROM Manager. And I played around with SetCPU a lot. One or more of those factors must've fixed it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] devize:
how does the oc kernel compare to the stock cm7 beta kernel? Is it noticeably faster? and how does the battery compare?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] christianlr25:
It's a bit faster but uses more battery of course.

This is just shot in dark..

Delete kernels that u have now & clear cache in your browser out.

Download faux123 kernel again that u want try. This is make sure you have

good download of file.

Make backup of your install.

Boot in to Fastboot.

Now try this no qoutes.

1: "fastboot erase boot"

2: "fastboot reboot" back in recovery..

Now using cwm once again..

Clear Cache

Install kernel u want try ..

Maybe more ppl's chime in to help also..

For me, the 0.2.0 non-OC kernel provides much better battery life than the CM7 stock kernel. No problems encountered as yet.

I've not started undervolting yet but plan to do so when I find the time to test out some values...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
If you use webtop, this kernel is not for you. At least in my case. If I plug in my phone to the laptop dock, the frequency is somehow locked at max frequency, and there is nothing you can do to fix it.

I reverted to stock after figuring this out. If not for that problem, the kernel is absolutely perfect.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aleve1983:
for me is opposit, battery life is much better with cm7 stock kernel
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Isn't that a kinda good thing? If your phone is going to turn into a computer, you'll need as much power as possible. Also, if it's docked, it won't be using any battery as it'll be charging at the same time.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bates_1974:
Should we auto-detect speeds or use the nvidia tegra 2 set in device selection? I've read to use the latter, yet going to the voltages tab causes a FC everytime. So probably to answer my own question, auto-detect and select my voltages if I want to UC?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lilhaiti:
Use auto detect...the speed table in the Tegra 2 selection may not match the speed table for the kernel.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
Not exactly. If at a constant maximum frequency at all times, the phone is going to put out a lot of heat. I got up to 62C before I turned the phone off. That's not good at all. The whole point of CPU scaling is to keep the processor and other components cool while being able to deliver at full load when needed. You don't lose performance if the CPU can clock down and up whenever.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
What IS the exact difference between the oc kernal and the enhanced kernal? only max of 1.3GHz difference?

do they both have GPU and RAM overclocked or is it just the OC version?:confused:

1300 MHz (-100mV)

1200 MHz (-100mV)

1100 MHz (-50mV)

1000 MHz (-25mV)

800 MHz (-25mV)

456 MHz (-175mV)

216 MHz (-225mV)

Still trying to optimize. Keep in mind the results are different for everyone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Just to show you guys quadrants difference between 1.0Ghz and 1.3Ghz on v0.2.0

1.0

1.3
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
The GPU isn't OC'ed as I think it OC's in proportion to CPU OC. I dunno bout RAM though.

BTW, what are the benefits of RAM OC? Does it drain battery and what are the performance gains?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
I do notice the battery drain is much faster relative to stock. I just loaded up the 1.0Ghz Enhanced Kernal, does feel slower :( going to see how it performs in one day.

RAM OC is just makes things load faster, but probably no a big deal because the Atrix does not use SLC type flash, seems more like MLC based, so the loading speed is still mostly limited to the flash's IO speed.

Love the kernal but webtop has some issues

I have noticed that the new kernel is great and I appreciate your work!

The one thing I noticed is that Webtop with the laptop-dock; the webtop-panel (the portion on the top of the screen that gives you alerts and other snazzy things) is frozen. It does not update nor respond to clicks anymore. I am not sure what the cause is. I did this on a freshly flashed rooted stock sbf with the kernel applied after a cache wipe. The webpanel used to work before the kernel and now doesn't. I am not sure why. The older version of the kernel (0.17) worked wonderfully with it.

Keep up the awesome work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
I noticed the same issue! I didn't know it was caused by the kernel as I don't use it much HAHA

The rule still apply with not setting more than a 100mv difference between clock speeds when undervolting? Or can / will this change with kernels? Or is it set like that for a specific purpose, such as stability issues?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
the rule is tegra specific, its in the hardware, so if there is not a workaround for it in the kernel or better to say in setcpu to gradually lower the volts on one frequency it wont work over 100mv difference

I second the 0.20 kernel not playing nice with webtop. Not sure what the issue is --- but webtop has been very funky after this kernel has been flashed. Sections of the screen goes missing, the top status bar is totally unusuable. The only way i can retain functionality is doing a reset on the phone.

Also --- sometimes the phone gets stuck in a bootloop so I have to pull the battery, then on the second reboot it works. hmmm..
