What is the difference in battery consumption between ondemand and lagfree governor?

I assume that lagfree is greater consumer, but how much and whether that better, smoother work justifies consumption?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
It's kept on the cache partition.

Thanx.. I can see a folder named recovery in cache.. But nothing in it.. :/

One question... lagfree governor we know don't go under 500 mhz..

But why if i set it on screen off profile it go instead under 500?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] m1trand1r:
sorry vic to correcting u but lagfree does not go under 500mhz when screen is on:)

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
It's not that lagfree doesn't go under 500Mhz because it's coded like that. It doesn't because the cpu load isn't low enough so that lagfree decides to use a lower freq.

When screen's off, cpu load is lower. Ergo, lagfree selects lower freqs.

Lagfree is very dynamic. It can go through each and every freq.. ;)

Someone posted that our g3 has 2 fm radio chips. Hillbeast, can you please implement a fm transmitter?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
I dont think fm transmitter is supported hardware wise, there is probably two chips supporting fm receiver, one on the blurtooth chip and one dedicated to fm only, but both are just receivers.

Error while making a tar image of /cache/!

what is this?

I am little confused, or may be I missed some announcement

can someone point what is the difference between

G3MOD_2.1_OC.tar and G3MOD_2.1_OC+.tar

And where do you guys download the Beta ones, I don't see any link on first page for beta release for which most of the advanced users are talking about.

I am having problem as soon as I touch anything in SetCPU, it forcecloses.

tried G3MOD_2.1_OC+.tar and still the same result. Setcpu is already given root permission.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] m1trand1r:
OC+is experimental kernel....

Yes it has two chips however they are receivers, not transmitters. It would be like asking someone to turn their car stereo into a transmitter by using a special audio CD. Sorry.

OC+ is experimental and buggy. It uses 83MHz steppings and had problems for a lot of people. I recommend using OC.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] deadwood01:
the changelog mentions about BLN support doest it mean that its enabled by default or not...? coz i tried bln control app from market and it says bln mod not installed....!!!!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] radek.god:
Ok I agree with you that problems I have should make some app but if it works with fugumod 1366 and not with G3MOD, then problem is not at my phone /apps.

Testing phone with clean JPS and no sdcard is nice, but for testing purpose only as this is normally useless - I need sdcard and apps too, for example navigation SW, music

So it it will be nice if my phone pass 666 hours at stability test, but not so nice if it will crash with first app installed :D:D:D:D:D ...

As another user write before me this too ,then I am asking G3MOD develop team to make this change :

make ALL (nearly all) version overclockable from 100 to 1400 MHz and change only kernel Hz

then I am sure all users can hit 1300/1400 stable and if their phone will allow faster kernel Hz they can switch from performance to ultimate with same frequency.

This is what I see as major problem of G3MOD and change what make me motivate use G3MOD instead of Fugumod --- :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cool.darshak:
Powersave bias is actually for saving the power of CPU...so for example if you keep value 200 as i suggest before too...it will slow down the CPU but this will affect the performance hence i also said to lower the Sampling Rate to 1000 mirco second to balance the performance...and also 200 in powersave bias mean 20%...250 means 25%...keep screen off profiles to 100Mhz to 600 Mhz and time profiles while you sleep to 100 Mhz to 300 Mhz..am sure all will enjoy good battery backup
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] radek.god:
Change frequency.

OK, what if I will copy this file

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/plls_table from Fugumod 1366 kernel

to G3MOD ROM with kernel 300/500 Hz ???

will this work ?

mean will I have stable G3MOD at 1366 MHz with all benefits of G3MOD ?

Or I will have no luck as 300/500 Hz version of G3MOD does not allow change frequencies over 1000/1200 Mhz as compiled :rolleyes: ?

Unable to dual boot with Kyrillos 7.1!

Give it more than 5mins and see what happens. Sometimes it takes alot of time to get in the pin-screen.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Directly flash it as onepackage...nothing more required...

not a kernel problem...

If you are on CM kernel, flash froyo kernel first...

Then go to Recovery, switch ROM to kyrillos and wipe data..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] harkan89:
Wipe data and also make sure you have G3Mod kernel fro CM6.2 installed.

No lights.so isn't missing from the kernel, it's missing from every ROM. I might add it in Kyorarom Infinity if I can get it to compile.

Convert your cache to ext2/4 or JFS and try again.

When I try to run the lagfree scaling on 1,2ghz my phone totally freezes. When I'm on 1.1 my phone runs a bit but still freezes all the time. With 1,0 my phone runs very fast and I have about 3 freezes in 2 days. And with 0,9 my phone doesn't freeze at all but isn't completely lagfree anymore. Could it be possible to run the lagfree scaling on a high level like 1,2 without freezes?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
Not on your phone.

Your device apparently supports 900Mhz tops :P
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mankokoma:
I prefer the ext-systems to jfs.

For /cache I use ext2 (but considering to change to ext4 with disabling journal, cause it is known to be faster in writing).

ext2 is known to be faster in reading than ext4, so I use it for (readonly mounted) /system

For /data & /sdext I use ext4 (on both journal disabled)

All I researched about filesystems in the last years said, that on solid state disks or flash disks journaling does not make sense and only slows down the device.

However, after every reboot I take a short look into /g3mod.log and do regularly complete backups of all...!!!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
Hmm... I have tried to convert stl8 into jfs (from ext4 to jfs) and my /cache partition wasn't there after reboot. I'm using v2.1oc. Actually, I don't see any jfs related file in /sbin.... Any idea ??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
You have to test them really to see what works best for your setup. It's like CPU frequencies or undervolting, you have to just see.

It would seem the jfs files are probably missing in the final version. I might not have committed them to GIT. I'll look at it tonight.

Hey.. Just curious.. I'm on G3Mod kernel v2.1 running Kyrillos' v9.0.5 .. Every time I try to change the fs of stl8 or mmcblk0p2 (cache & sd-ext) through fs.convert or G3Mod App, I get stuck at boot.. By default I get these:

mmcblk0p2 ext3

stl6 ext2

stl7 ext4

stl8 ext4

I've been trying to change it , and I get stuck at boot everytime.. Im trying to change it to:

mmcblk0p2 ext4

stl6 ext2

stl7 ext4

stl8 ext2

Please give me some light here!

I charged my cell to full 100 % (4138 mV). After 6 hours while i was sleeping the battery dropped to 91 % (data connection was OFF).

After that i turned ON my data connection and in two hours the battery dropped to 42% but the mV was still 3728 mV!!

if i calculate the % from 4200 mV i get 91% at 3728mV.

What is the mV when the battery goes dead??

Also i am facing some serious lags on both ondemand and lagfree governor!!

i am using apps2sd v2 on an 8gb class 10 micro sdhc. I am on kyrillos v7.

I havent enabled supercharger and i have deleted the swap script from init.d folder.

My file systems are

System and Cache=ext2

data=ext4!

Please help!

Hi, i ask if someone can help me with some trouble i have. I want to try CM7, but i have to wipe data, or i will have bootloop. The problem is that I save data with multiboot CWM menu on G3mod kernel before flashing CM7 ROM, but when i went back to froyo ROMs, and restore data, never works. And have to star from the beginning. What I'm doing wrong??

I think, that this can be solve using multidata, but i'm not sure because don't know what it does exactly. Can some one help me giving me some information about that, or where to get this informacion.

I want to thanks to G3mod team, great kernel, and special hillbeast, great ROM.

PS: I also have the 'lights on' trouble with kyorarom 0.4, waiting for a solution

Sorry for my english, I do my best

Greetings from Colombia
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
The big advantage of bln is that the button leds need very low power, this means that you can have a notification waiting for hours and you would only loose a tad more battery than without the notification. The backlight of the display probably need a hundred fold or more of the energy, thus would kill your battery after 2 or three hours.

Ok guys.. in a while I'll release a new version of G3Mod (v2.2), but only non-oc and oc versions (support for OC+ version dropped). Changes are only few, but since BLN is very asked lately.. ;)

I'll provide a new lights.*.so, you'll flash it and will have BLN working easily :p

v2.2 is up. Changelog, as always, is in the second post.
