Battery Life & OC Daemon Possibility?

I am about to give this a shot, but was wondering what people were achieving in battery life, better than stock? I would assume so.

Also, OP, do you think you could look into doing something like ViperRom for the Evo3D, where he had implemented an OC Daemon script (only active when setCPU is NOT installed) which would scale the CPU respectively on an

instant

rather than an

interval

set of time like setcpu. example: the instant the screen is off = underclock; the instant screen is on = ondemand/OC/Performance/whatever. No need for SetCPU to take up RAM even if its minimal, it still checks the CPU/Screen/Etc at intervals. Adjusting it was as easy as typing in a command or two into terminal emulator.

Just sayin, the OC Daemon made the Evo3D a battery sipping monster. i'm here to stick around with the photon, overall solid phone. And uber-amounts of development isn't necessary if you have a couple top-notch ROMs/Devs to choose from. Majority of ROMs for the Evo 3D run like Alpha or Beta releases, what good is that? The More is not always the Merrier.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nickespi:
never mind a waste of my time..I LOVE YOUR KERNEL MAN BAT LIFE HAS IMPROVED
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
hm would be interesting to check out, i have a personal fav battery saver of mine, collin_ph's battery tweak, i ported it to the nexus s 4g so im hoping when i have a min i can get it running on the mopho, but tbh idk if i can so much is different
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
i caught it via email ;)

yeah, i figured it would be quite an adventure. Keep up the good work tho shabby, i love when a first release is stable :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] brentmel:
I've been in the hero forums for two years which had amazing development. I just ordered this phone and I am happy to see people are working on making it better. This phone was just on sale for $199 so I imagine the user base just took a giant leap in the last week.

Keep it up shabby, if you build it, they will come
[Motorola Photon 4G] aikata:
Awesome kernel, thanks for all your hard work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Take it back to Sprint and buy one from Best Buy. They're only $99.
[Motorola Photon 4G] brentmel:
Really? Is that for a new account or new line? I just renewed my contract and ordered the phone through sprint. I want my 100 bucks back now :mad:

This is getting off topic. I can't wait to flash this kernel!
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
No. It is for upgrades too! I did this deal about two weeks ago. One of the reasons I chose to just go for the MoPho! Couldn't be happier.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeffthebeast:
really?? i tried to use my upgrade and they said it would only take $150 off the full price of the phone
[Motorola Photon 4G] coldblooded79:
This kernel + Seans home base is pretty sweet. Thanks Shabby.

[Motorola Photon 4G] BoostL33k:
Battery was 100%. I tried to run it with the custom Bootstrap recovery (The ACS apk version) WITHOUT the bootloader being unlocked. RSD would go all the way thru with NO ERRORS. But it was stuck at the Motorola sign. RSD would ask for the device to be manually rebooted, but the device was unresponsive. So a battery pull was needed. But after the battery pull it would get stuck at the Motorola sign, then it would say at the top of the screen "failed to boot 4" "starting RSD mode". I could not even get it to boot into recovery. Took it to the sprint store today and the tech could not even get it revived. But I have a new one being shipped to the store I will pick it up Tuesday.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jason_Thames:
Try to flash MR5 again, but this time when the phone gets to the point it says it's going to reboot, begin holding the up volume button. Hold it till the phone reboots, and it "should" boot into RSD mode immediately and finish your flash. For some reason RSD is not kicking the phone into the right mode when it triggers the final reboot. Good luck.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
i need someone unlocked rooted and fearless please to test a 4g fix please
[Motorola Photon 4G] snoopy1e11:
Ill test but wont b in a 4g area til 2morrow
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Im game yay
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
nevermind test failed...
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Well ill be available till about 3am its 1050 now so if you need a guinea let me know
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
HomeBase Photon Stock v 1.3

Photon-Penguins 1.0

SetCPU 2.2.4

SetCPU works however has the following issues:

Max clock set below 1100 still shows 1100 used in "time in state"

1100 max mv reported as -6mv

*gonna hit up coolbho3000 with this data as well as I'm not sure which end the error is on
[Motorola Photon 4G] BoostL33k:
And I fixed it......Tried to boot into recovery after the RSD flash and it worked!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
You got ripped off even more, 150-199 = 49$ so that is all you should of had to pay, trade in your old phone and you shouldn't of had to pay a dime.

Like me ;-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
No. That is never how an upgrade works. If you are eligible for an upgrade, you pay the same as a new customer (I got mine at Wirefly for $150 when the Photon came out).

If you are not eligible, then you get full unsubsidized price minus $75 for being a year into your contract. Everyone is eligible after 2 years for the same as new customer price but gold premier are every year.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
guys lets stay on topic please
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Just curious. Will there be updates to this kernal that allow for further overclock speeds? As I do believe that is what limits it to 1.1ghz correct? If I'm mistaken, feel free to correct me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
shabby had mentioned looking into getting the max clock raised. This will be great but I'm seeing issues with SetCPU not locking down the clock rate or voltage changes. I'm not sure if I'm the only one as I haven't seen anybody else report it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
yea voltages dont seem to be sticking, however i havent had any issues iwth freqs not sticking
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I've not seen any changes. but I also don't use profiles. I just have one thing for all. But I do have a question. Does the minimum speed effect the overall speed of the system? Should I set that higher for best performance? Or does the min matter?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
You're editing the voltage table right? Not using some program to change the voltage? Because when TrevE showed me how to edit overclocks and voltage, you had to edit some file. I'll post back if I can find the file.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BoostL33k:
Just curious, I know the voltages are not really sticking, but what (if someone will share) are some safe voltages to undervolt to?
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
Hey guys i need a favor, i need some smartbench 2011 scores from this kernel.

im on my next version and im averaging about 3533 for cpu and 2810 for games, just trying to figure out how that holds up to previous version

thanks :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
The app is just giving me a pg with a ad on it. nothing else. would you like me to try another benchmark app?

Edit:Quandrant score is 2569
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
is that just once or average? sometimes you dont get the full amount by doing it just that first time
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
That was once I am running antutu right now, was gonna give different apps a test and post results
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
the new scheduler seems quirky, 2628, 2371, 3019, 2935, 3041

edit: all those are quadrant standard, im running home base 1.5? i think? the blurred one with my kernel.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dschachm:
i am running this with homebase 1.5 and i usually get between 2500 and 2700.

How is the battery on the new build? Any idea when you will release it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
Yeah just noticed that my score reached 3245 but then went down to 2576..... not a big deal I am about to post my battery life!!! you be amazed! Well maybe not since its your kernel!
[Motorola Photon 4G] craigbailey1986:
Now that is impressive! Thanks shabby! Great work on the kernel!
[Motorola Photon 4G] BoostL33k:
Ran 6 tests with smart bench 2011

CPU 3634 2838 1875 2774 3589 2884 average of 2932

Games 2776 2783 2812 2822 2831 2812 average of 2806

And I am on the home base 1.5 ROM with the 4.0 add on and your 1.1 kernel.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
no idea on battery, i just built it before work this morning :P

ill prolly release tonight ;) wont take me long to write up teh changelog lol, im still learning kernels (you guys are my first :P) so no big fancy huge changelogs here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BoostL33k:
Cant wait!! Will this be able to be flashed over the top of the Hombase ROM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dschachm:
Will this be ext3 or 3? Can't wait.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
im a complete scatter brain, i built the one im running and then made some more changes, left the house while that one was compiling, but no not too sure on how to make ext4
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
ok so... a quick update, got a really really fast and snappy phone right now, ext4.. bfq... using both cores... i hit 4k in cpu on smart bench

2 little issues tho. i killed adb :eek:

and wifi >.>:confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
Youre on it shabby!!!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
ok fixed adb, wifi is still busted but i promised a release. so if you dont like wifi then feel free to flash awesome sauce. im currently trying to track it down but figured id get something out to ya :)

i also found out something cool ill make a new thread about
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
So is the clock speed the same at 1.1? Or is it up from that? And is there a link...wifi doesn't matter to me at the moment.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
yea sorry all download links will be at acs, (click download to be taken there) you dont need to register or anything like that. but we have ads up on teh site to pull in money, the most devs with views/clicks not only get money but helps buy phones for teh team (hence my photon 4g ;) ).

again sorry for the inconvience but its so that acs can keep rolling out goodies :) (for instance if i didnt do that with earlier projects i wouldnt have been able to get the photon, which would mean i wouldnt have made this kernel etc etc butterflies flapping etc etc.)

and no, no increase in clock speeds, there is many things you can do to speed up the phone without jumping up the ghz ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Well i now have ext4. Quadrant 3175. Now i will oc and try it. Lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Sweet. Thanks for the info. I am on Alien rom/theme. Would it be beneficial to change to the blur version if this rom? And soon as I am on the computer. I wull check it out
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
nah you pick what ever rom you want, its dual fs. so if teh rom dev updates his to support ext4 formatting etc, then it will use ext4. which i imagine after i get wifi working will be soon ;P
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
The Alien ROM doesn't seem to have any support. So that's why I was asking. Will probably try to flash this ROM

Nope, afraid not. You can only have one or the other.

Why only 1.1Ghz ? OP have u tried going higher?
[Motorola Photon 4G] DssTrainer:
Out of curiosity, what happens when you try? it is installed as a zip right? which is something the bootstrap recovery allows.. does it throw an error? lock up? brick?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beknatok:
While I cannot give you a detailed technical explaination as to exactly why, all Android phones require an unlocked bootloader in order to install a custom kernel. If there are exceptions, I'm not aware of them.

In essence, the Bootloader invokes the kernel. If we cannot modify the bootloader (because it is locked), we cannot tell it to load a different kernel. I know there's more to it than that, but that is beyond my knowledge.

Here are two links about Android's boot sequence, that might be insightful. Helps to have knowledge of Linux.

http://www.androidenea.com/2009/06/android-boot-process-from-power-on.html

http://bloggervarun.wordpress.com/2010/01/25/embedded-linux-boot-process/

As to what the will actually happen to your phone if you try flashing a kernel with a locked bootloader - I don't know the answer to that either, and have no intent or desire to find out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I don't think it will boot. Probably a boot loop.

Shabby just a thought... you are remembering to include the correct dhd.ko in the ROM right? When I get back to my dorm room on monday/tuesday I'm going to try my hand at an ext4 kernel w/ wifi as well as a new recovery image... I think ours might be a little wonky.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
no im not including the module since i cant get it to compile there is no need for me to include the stock one, ya know? but no its a matter of ramdisk :) just working on cleaning the house and ill fix the zip i have for flashable version

IIWY I'd check directories for usage files and phone dumps that can fill up phone space (700mb) fast — you can't delete the directories (causes some FCs; annoying), but you can delete all the files, then make the directories read-only so they stay empty:

/data/tombstone

/data/system/dropbox

/data/system/usagestats

And def. install/use an app cache cleaner if you haven't already.

There's a program here (search for SD maid) that helps clean up, too. I haven't tried it but I've read about it; looks great.

Did this. There was a bunch of stuff, alas, icon is still there :( were working on cache clearing now, but weve done that before with different apps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgoldner:
If she's rooted, download NotEnoughSpace. It will give you direct access to the 150 megabyte \data\data partition. Every application and any contacts synced to the Incredible are dumped in there. If less than 10% is free, you'll get a low memory message, and performance will degrade.

NotEnoughSpace lets you relocate stuff out of \data\data and frees up space in that directory.

I also discourage folks from downloading all their Facebook contacts. Completely unnecessary, and all dumped into \data\data anyway.

BTW, with NotEnoughSpace, I recommend moving what can be moved until you get up to about 20% free (i.e. 30megabytes) only to emmc or a NES partition, *not* the cache. You might have to clear the cache and then the info will be missing from the apps.
