That may be very true about the lower freqs. because I read about ROMs with as low as 14MHz in deep sleep (but it wasn't that stable on all phones of the same model) :eek:

Btw /sysdevices/system/cpu/cpufreq/smartass/sleep_wakeup_freq = 1612800

Doesn't this seem a bit high?

Found this while searching matbe something useful. Also this app:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jpapps.quickclockadvanced&feature=search_result

would be nice if it worked on our phone, maybe there is something like it?

EDIT: Also
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Btw /sysdevices/system/cpu/cpufreq/smartass/sleep_wakeup_freq = 1612800 -> this is the value that the CPU scales for exactly when it wakes up to make the waking up process as smooth as possible. After that it scales back down to whatever frequency it thinks best.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
but overclocking of cpu 2x it's original freq is bad idea..i don't like it :D i better will wait 0.1 second more but will not want to hurt my baby cpu :D But it's funny to test thing and many people can do for their personal taste, im not speed freak i want to make this baby stable and optimal for battery so that i can not feel any lag from optimization :) that's my goal. But i'm kinda happy with battery life right now too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
But smartass/smartass2 will only scale to your maximum frequency, if it's 1ghz it will scale max to that value even if /sysdevices/system/cpu/cpufreq/smartass/sleep_wakeup_freq = 15471545412541541351

Dude I'm going nuts with this kernel...

I did a clean install several times, installed latest MIUI then I installed the latest Kernel and every time I try to change the governor to smartassv2 with min 200 and something and max 1.6 or 1.8 my phone just freezes and starts doing infinite reboots in ideos logo. I didn't get that stuff with 10/09
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ksatta:
At some point my phone worked fine with governor x (don't remember which one) and high max freq. Then with Franco.kernel version x my phone became "allergic" to the same settings :) Maybe because it's more optimal and pushes CPU harder, which is good. Anyway now I'm using a different governor (smartass v2) and lower max freq (16xx atm).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AndytheAndroid:
Your phone can't handle that frequency which is why it's rebooting.

I don't know why you want to put at that frequency anyway....

1200Mhz is more than enough.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] entrapmen:
17.09 doesnt work for me. After ideos it stays on black screen. I did wiping cache dalvik and flashing kernel several times; neither worked. flashed 16.09 again and it works.

When I charge the battery and turn off the screen,the phone gets very hot.When I wake up the phone,temperature goes down.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Dream-LinChuan:
i have brush this 17th kernel,but my phone become very hot. so i brush back to the 16th kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
I can say that until now the new kernel and are cm7 are impress. The low voltages i can see in the the difference already. Very good work i can say
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
None of this posts were helpful. I've been running with 1,5/768 and not a single problem, so it's at your end.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] arveparve:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mejobloggs:
Whoah I just installed 17 and it got really hot too
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
Hot is how much degrees? Because Ian getting 35 when I'm using the phone a lot with the new kernel but ia normal
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fabryxy:
Hi

I am pretty sure that the displayed temperature is referred to the battery and not cpu.

Probably the cpu temperature or isn´t enabled/supported in the kernel or isn´t hardware supported.

During the recharge with ac adapter is ¨normal¨ that the battery become hot because the recharge is very fast (~1A);for who know the lipo battery, the recharge is ~0.7C.

Charging through usb (~500ma) the phone battery keeps a normal temperature(and is good thing for battery life).

Fabryxy
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Invicta:
i get exactly the same problem and i didnt even get to overclocking, set SMassV2 and it just hanged and rebooted...strange thing is i return to 16sep kernel and it does the same when it didnt yesterday!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Indeed. I don't understand how it can be hotter because I lowered all the voltages, so it needs to be even less hotter than before. Change your frequencies if anything is wrong, because other than that no one sent me hard evidence of strange problems or behavior.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
I'll look into Smartass2, maybe something is wrong, but it's running rock solid here.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Invicta:
thanks franco, but what is very strange is that after a full wipe and fresh install it does the same thing with v16, it was flawless yesterday when i flashed v16 (with oxygen rom).

by fresh install i mean , reset factory, delete cache, dalvik and then install rom and afterwards kernel
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
And is possible if you have time to look why now is so hard or impossible to oberclock to 1.8 only to do some tests, before i could but with the lasts kernels is impossible it always crash

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ho Made:
To me this last kernel was a real battery eater, 10% in about 2 hours and it never went to "deep sleep" but kept running at 245 mhz.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
No idea, I can't reproduce that because it works 100% on mine. Like I've been saying I need more info, frequencies, rom used, governors etc etc I can't work with vague replies like "amg dunt work, fix plx" ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
ok you are right. so now iam with the last release of cm7 and your kernel and with smatass v2, since you said thatis the best in performance/battery.

i didnt try with other rom so i dont know if the cm7 is the reason to not be able to do 1.8 becsaude i only want to break the record on antutu :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Like I've been saying anything below 368 is **** in my opinion. I don't have any problems.

CM7 is not exactly stable and bug free...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
People with problems can you try to flash this one and see if it fixed:

http://www.multiupload.com/ZM0N80YW9Q

Just increased some voltages in a few frequencies, hope it fixes the reboots.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
so it could be the cm7 problem? ok

and you have increase the voltages in the 1.8 iam correct because i think that could be this the reason, but iam not any exepert :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
CM7 could be a source of some problems yes. I've been using CM7 and I like it very much, but it has some bugs indeed. I didn't touch 1,8, I've been messing with other voltages. I won't enter in details here because everything I change is in my github.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ValenteL:
Helo

I instaled last 170911 kernel in a cm7.1.0-100911 and... it's o.k.

The cpu clock is on 1804 Mhz, the governor is smartassV2, and I am testing now the baterie charging. This is at 34 ºC.... normal.

The score of Antutu benchmark is'nt big (4018) but for me more important, no stops, no crashs, no reboots...

I will make MIUI and Oxygen restores to test that also.

..............................

At end of charging, the baterie was at 29º C. The phone not hot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
ok so i can see that is my phone. with ValenteL is everything ok so its my phone, but before i could and now i cant. ok bad luck for me
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] megaslx:
I'm using cm7.

I set the frequency 122~368 ondemand when the screen is off,and 245~1200 ondemand in other circumstances.the phone is just much hoter when you turn off the screen,up to 40°C.According to the log of setcpu,the cpu works under 122Mhz in most of the time when the screen is off.

the 16 sep ver is ok(the temp is just about 31°C),so I guess there is something wrong with the recent update.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Ondemand already has screen off inbuilt profiles, so yes thats what's killing your phone. I've disabled 122 and 184 in the next update, I don't want people to use that low frequencies, it does more harm than good.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
so is like this in this 30 min or something i have try the others rom with the last kernel and the problems were the same in all, with the smartass v2 because is the only thing that is the same in all. if i change to other gov i can use more than 1.2 ghz.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] knevski:
After using few days #void ROM and this kernel, i haven't had "Phone randomly stops sleeping" problem anymore! So it seems that dzo's fix works. But sometimes phone drops out from WiFi network, and when trying to restart it, it stays in status "Turning off...". Only restart helps. Maybe it has something to do with that fix?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
I don't have a clue, I haven't changed anything related to that :/
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:

This may be a stupid question but is it possible to customize the top bar text that say the MNO's name? (I'm assuming this is some kernel configuration...)

I ask this because I'm currently using miui + fransico's kernel and the MNO's name is so long that the icons are "pushed" outside the visible area. Any way one can costumize this?

EDIT: ok found this must see if it works... Anyway in an ideal world this should happen... it's weird that the carrier text should push the icons outside the screen, imo it would make more sense to crop the carriers name but that's just me.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lourenzo:
you can change the carrier name somewhere with some hex editor - look into it. I made a quick search about it but didn't go too deep in...

Please stop denigrating oxygen and miui, there's very little difference between the three ROMs since they're all based on the same system libs.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Deloxic:
Guys I know that I've talked about my problem several times but just hear me out for the last time.

So I did a clean install of the B138

After that I installed CWM 4.1.0.5

After doing so I flashed MIUI with a factory reset and everything was fine

After installing MIUI I flashed the latest F.Kernel

After that I tried to go to the governor settings and changed it to smartassV2 and the max cpu was at 1.2 and it was stable

Now I tried to go from 1.2 to 1.4 and it freezes my phone

Resuming... I can't go past 1.2 without freezing it and doing a stock installation again... Everyone seems to make it work at 1.8 so why can't I do it too ? Is it a hardware problem ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
Well, I installed MIUI in my dad's X5 and I tested it in quadrant @ 1600 Mhz with latest Franco.Kernel... (EDIT: And it did great... both my dad's and my X5)

Maybe you really have some hardware limitation... IMHO... I have it at 1000 Mhz max (Oxygen) with SmartassV2 and I notice no lag at all even playing n64oid with sound (zelda) (perhaps a frameskip each 15s or so)... So I see no point (but testing / benchmarking purposes) to oc it that high... But that's JUST my opinion...

BTW, Thanks for this great Kernel, Franco... You really are nailing it ;)

I read several testemonials of people that had battery drain issues, but after flashing this new francisco kernel (17/09) battery life increased a lot and now they are happy with it.
