b16 feels good. On the quantifiable side it provided a good Antutu benchmark (6105 100/1200 ondemand). More importantly it feels good under normal use as well; this is something

I

didn't feel with 2.0 final when compared to some of the 2.0 betas. The increased touch sensitivity is readily apparent when compared to 1.8. No issues waking from deep sleep, although I don't UV as I'm unashamed of my noobiness in that and many other regards.

Edit: pm'd the following pic to gokhanmoral so I didn't take up any more valuable real estate in the thread; he thought it would be useful to post it because of technical stuff that's over my head. 100/1600 ondemand (in hindsight it might have been performance). Just my single solitary foray into OC after each new ROM and/or kernel. My phone was not in a freezer, and I'm not sure I could cheat if I tried. If anyone has any technical questions; don't ask me ;-)

Doesn't b16 feel better than the last ones?

I mean the touch control. Kind of more responsive, more instantaneous and precise.

Feels quite good, actually.

I'm talking with ondemand, by the way. In the governor matter, I've got a question. If ondemandx is supposed to be the same as ondemand but with a sleep profile, why does it never feel as responsive as ondemand on use? Always shoked me...

Edit: I'm trying ondemandx now and feels pretty much as good as ondemand on b16, so great.

Please gokhan, don't change this great smooth feel xD

With beta16 i have extreme voltage Problems. Have updated all steps with +25mv but phone freezes in deepsleep.

Is there a special frequenz which is used more than others, so i can put more mv to this step and can do it step by step?

I've noticed exactly the same up until beta 16, now in beta 16 I've had to up my 200mhz step voltage from 800 to 850 mv otherwise the phones freezing during phone calls. I can complete the call but once the other side hangsup I'm just left with a blank screen that I need to power cycle to fix. Upping to 850mv fixes this. I'm using smart ass v2.

In 2.0 I could go right down to 100 mhz and 200 mhz at 800 mv with no issue.

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

Wanted to check that and noticed that the ondemand stub isn't there for me, which makes sense since I'm running smartassV2. Do you change governors at any point? My theory is, that the stub is not there when the init-scripts are run and therefore nothing can get written to them.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jdmcivic:

My phone freezes after wakeup, 100MHz@850mV, is that normal? Using rc3 and smartass.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kwerdenker:
Well, you could implement a check to wait till the stub comes available. Something along the lines of

while [ ! -d /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/]
do
echo "waiting for ondemand"
done

Problem with that could be a race condition so the stub never gets activated because it's hanging in the checkingprocess. Don't know enough about the parallelization in the startup to be sure about that. Although one could add a countervariable and abort after that many tries, but that wouldn't help much in this case I guess.

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

If you have problems with wakeuplocks, remove your UV first and see if it still occures. If that's not the case, try upping your voltages for the 100 and/or 200 steps.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Grimmy1st:

Really? That would be "great", cause it means there is no failure/problem with the external card...

so how is it possible to do a clean full wipe before ROM installing with formatting SDcard / wipe everything (as mentioned in some FAQs) and still having the flashable zip (and CWM) on internal SDcard? Cause most ROMs are not flashable with ODIN....

PS: still freezes with RC3...

P.S- how can I detect if there are any programs/apps that are using my CPU (and there for using juice from my battery) without me know/wanting? I suspect that my phone losing power isn't only related to which Kernel or ROM i'm using but also some programs/app that run in the background.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] olifee:
This corresponds exactly to my linux-experience (I am using Gentoo Linux, where you actually compile mostly everything with all optimizations as you wish, so I am experimenting a bit from time to time).

I also had a short discussion with Dark Shikari (developer of x264) once, and he even encountered (slight, ~1-2%) slowdowns after optimizing for specific architecture instead of generic.

However, in a desktop-environment with a full-featured (mostly calculating) app (Qt, OpenGL, Multithreading) the difference between O0 and O3 can easily reduce the runtime by a factor of 3.

For a kernel, that high an effect is far from reality in daily use (especially with a jvm in between... ). I guess the difference between O0 and O3 should only be noticeable if you calculate many crc32 for some minutes using kernel-functions or use kernel-decompression (maybe bootup will be 100ms slower? :P ).

I am not sure how much O3 increases the size of the kernel image in comparison to O2 or even Os. The speedups should be negligible, however, so maybe that's the reason why O2 is default (and some optimizations might be unsafe in corner-cases).

Finally, after all that blabbering:

Thanks for checking :).

Yes, it is, never reformatted it after buying (not yet, might decide to add a second partition later on). Size is also 32 GB (though I doubt it matters).

Do you have a camera to take a video of the process? Or can you select several small things (like bln or things from the utility-tab in kitchen) so it takes longer?

Or, something easier I just found:

Can you check /cache/recovery/last_log

on your device? It should contain a log of the last CWM-actions :).

is it changing these two bold values to 900 or am i wrong?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] olifee:
Mhhhm...

Your fstab looks exactly similar to mine.

The error about sd-ext after that is the same for me (this should only apply to secondary partitions on SD I think).

What confuses me is this:

Verifying SD Card marker...
SD Card marker not found...
Checking Internal SD Card marker...

For me, it appears it can verify the internal SD is the correct one. However, I am not sure what it is looking for, and why it fails for you.

If you are fully booted and enter

mount | grep sdcard

does it return (among other stuff)

/dev/block/vold/179:11 on /mnt/sdcard type vfat

?

Then /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 should also be the correct thing for you and I am out of ideas :(.

Maybe somebody who is experienced in packaging CWM-ZIPs can package a simple script that does an "ls" or something on sdcard, or runs "mount" to check what is really mounted (I never did that, but it should not be too complicated).

The output should (I hope) then be in last_log.

EDIT:

I just saw your post and 'see' the problem (but do not know of a solution).

CWM appears to check for the internal-SD-marker, and does not find it if external SD is inserted. It then fails.

If external SD is not present, the marker is also not found! However, it continues anyways (for if there is only one SD present, it can not choose the wrong one).

The mount-error in the second case relates to a failure to mount the external SD (so this is expected).

So if we somehow find a way to set the "marker", we are good ;-).
