For me test6 is working absolutely fine. No problems as you are having. Performance is top notch. UI is smooth. Although i have noticed that UI micro stuttering never goes even if i OC my phone. It happens with every mobile and i think only ICS will change this. hope hardware acceleration put to some good use in ICS.

test6 running great for both performance and battery.

Performance: blazing fast (quadrant about 4400...I know it doesn't mean anything), no lags, random boots or whatever

Battery: Nearly the same as K17 for me. Now 20hours (2,5h wifi, 2h display, 10h 3G) and still 55% left (although some reboots, cache cleanings and dalvik building up took place due to the change from test5 to test6), so looks great

Modem: KI1, ROM: Stock deodexed KI8 from kitchen, standard battery

Upgraded to latest k2-18test6 last night.

5:55 hours on battery

Battery dropped to 95%

20 mins awake time, including 5@1200, 2@1000, 1@800 4@500,6@200

94% deep sleep 5:35

Most of this drain from graph was upfrontm coming from a scheduled titanium backup, with a 2-3 mins from google+ & corporate email sync. All other sync was still active (some schedules like contacts though are daily)

So far looks to be right up there with the best

Something very strange happens to me.

2 nights ago, I had the phone idle for 7hours when I slept, with no data/wifi and only 2% drop.

yesterday's night, I had the same conditions but with wifi, for 12 hours, and I lost 20%.

The phone was deepsleep all along, there're no partial wakelocks in BBS, but in "Other" It says 59 mins awake.

Im on K2-16.

Hi hardcore,

I have the following issue:

Installed test18-6, previous I was on CF-Root-KJ3-CWM5 which also installs the CWM Manager App V3.0.

After installing test18-6 it was not possible to create backup’s via the CWM Manager App with the message, that this app only work’s with CFroot Kernels 5 an above, the App deactivates (with speedmod kernel) the backup and recovery features.

After booting in recovery mode I also was not able to see (in the CWM backup/restore section) the previously created backups on the external sd card, which was possible on CF-Root kernel.

Do you have a solution for this?

Thanks in advance.

I guess that was the whole point of 18 test versions. Up to test5 sched_mc cpu power management test6 cpu_hotplug as before. Now the main question is: test5 or test6 is better battery wise. Furthermore it is not so much about deep-sleep or idle drain, but when you use your phone.

For me up to now test5 was the best both performance and battery wise. Now checking out test 6.

last night i emptied phone battery, recharged to full while off,went into recovery and cleared battery stats. turned the phone on with 100% and left it. i wake up 6 hours later with 89% left.cpu spy shows deep sleep 77% with about 5hours and 200mhz with more than 1 hour and a bit of 800mhz used. wifi set to never policy,sunc on, 2push emails 1 hour frequency,whats app,imo running. never had that kind of drain before with all these on. i did however install friendcaster the night before,so i removed that today and will try again. if i change wifi police to sleep when screeen off, does that mean that if i am downloading a 100mb file and the phone screen turns off my download will cancel? thanks

edit: betterbatterystats show partial wakelocks since unplugged that gtalk async conn stayed on for 13minutes, count76 and IMO partial wakelock 8 minutes count:116. are those enough to explain the drain i saw? weird thing is i don't use gtalk at all, i only have it signed in so that the market would work properly?can i turn it off?

ok here is my "top3 list" actually :

n°1 : 18-test1

n°2 : 18-test3

n°3 : 18-test5

test6 is like test2 for me, battery is much better on this top3.

hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] apeiron6:
Kernel v. 18-test 1 works best. Test 6 is lagging on my phone and battery life is worse than test 1.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sydknee:
I found test 6 cause lag and jerking. But loving your kernels. Keep them coming!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
I have got the same top three, but in the opposite order:

1. 18-test5

2. 18-test3

3. 18-test1

Test5 has CWM5, very good battery life on my phone with my normal usage and (except of Test2) the best (speed/smoothness) performance.

Test3 has also CWM5, little bit better battery life (but on my phone no significant difference to Test5) and a little bit less (speed/smoothness) performance.

Test1 hasn't CWM5, but very good battery life and a little bit less (speed/smoothness) performance ... on my phone.

So for me, CWM5 is an important point I do not want to miss.

That's why Test1 is "only" on third place IMO.

Test6 is nearly as fast as Test5 (but a little bit slower than Test2), but I recognize a worse battery life ... on my phone with my "normal" usage.

I am looking forward to test the next version(s) ;-)

Do I become addicted?

Thanks to hardcore again !

I'm using test-2..seems that i'm the only one..I tested all versions after this but I returned back to this because the ultimate smoothness I saw there..yes I know it's worst as concern battery..but because I see almost everybody to write about the speed and the smoothness that test-2 has compared to other 18 versions I think that maybe the fight for better battery should be around this version..hardcore I believe you were pretty close on this version for the ultimate speedmod kernel..it needs only a little push for battery life!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] richyy74:
For me the same, for the exact same reasons. :-)

I do not mind some minor stutters/hicups here and there if battery life and overall speed is excellent. Furthermore I am pretty convinced that those hicups in my case is because of dalvik's garbage collection.

Edit: in wakelocks next to the name is a percentage it is the percentage of battery used by that particular service due to wakelocks check if that is a high value. If it is then it maybe the reason for drain.

Thanks again for your great work.

Testing for battery life now.

P.S.:

SpeedMod K2-18-test7 has about 4800 points in Quadrant Standard (3rd run).

So it is very fast (way faster than stock kernel), and also a little bit faster than Test2. It is the highest result I have ever had on my phone.

I am impressed!

CF-Bench shows a little bit better native and java score (and as consequence better overall score too) than other kernels.

Test7 became new "best" score in NenaMark2 - so even a little bit more than Test2, the former highscorer.

All other benchmarks just show nearly same results for all SpeedModK2-18 kernels I have tested so far.

So for me, SpeedMod K2-18-test7 is the fastest kernel I have tested so far.

I am very curious to examine battery life performance on my phone in the next hours.
