Hi inteks,

I tried both v10, v11 & DoomLord's kernel these two days, I see nothing difference about the battery drain.

I DID feel the battery level decrease faster when I flash it the first time, but I installed SetCPU after that and set it to 112-1024, activate on boot, Smartass v2.

Then the result become similar with the 3 kenel.

Seems like the default min speed is 245, not 112, I think that's one of the cause.

Second, maybe obvious - at lease happening on my phone, I think "Smartass" drain the battery more than "on demand" especially when the phone is in idle.

I got this conclusion, because I monitor the CPU freq changing (Not 100% sure, I only monitor it in SetCPU), the freq just go higher more often, and it steady at 112 Mhz after I change it back to "on demand". Provided that I didn't leave the SetCPU program.

I try to describe the freq changes, from time to time:

Smartass:

112, 112, 768, 768, 368, 1024, 576, 768, 122, 122.... (quite random)

On Demand:

112, 1024, 1024, 112, 112, 112, 112, 112... (something like that)

Hope I can help.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] inteks:
thats the main reason why i take the extra govenors out. i never had a problem with ondemand gov and it seems to be far more batteryfriendly :)

Version V12: -->> Clean as Possible with OC,Recovery,Init.d & sd_ext (this version incl modCWM from Doomlord)

Version V10: -->> All Features

Version V2: -->> Based On DoomLords Sources/Ramdisk
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawo99:
V12 growed about 330 kB against V11. What is difference between it and V11? Is better to use V12 instead of V11? I'm using your V11 kernel...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
does v12 got swap ?!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] inteks:
it has usb-storage included, so its not so clean as V11 but i think that smartassv2 was the batterydrainer. (even its incl. but not used!!!)

with this i have the same battery results as with V11

yepp, swap is included but not the script.

but v12 has init.d support. so if you like to have swap2cache get it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330937

and put it in the init.d folder.

for init.d remember to set the right permision and to remove the fileextension! i.e. "swap2cache.sh" >> "swap2cache"

have fun

inteks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tleung11:
If I use swap2cache script, any function missing compairing with v10?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
thanks man, will it read my ext4 partition out of the box or should i use some script ?! thanks you kernel is tempting me to unlock my bootloader man !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
i unlocked my bootloader via test point method, how do i flash a custom kernel now? flash tool ?!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LenAsh:
fastboot - the instructions are in the first post (directed)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
fastboot.exe where do i get that ?

how to start the device in 'fastboot' mood ?

sorry for my noob-ish questions

Edit : is this right ?

Now unzip fastboot.rar and open the folder extracted.

Within that folder, hold the Shift key and press the right Mouse button. Now select Open command window here.

Now we need to connect the phone to the pc in fastboot mode. Do so by turning the phone off, holding the menu button (search button for the Xperia Play) and plugging in the USB Cable.

Now in the command prompt, enter the following command:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

You were right about the other things.

@inteks

So I see you already dropped "Ericsson" at the startup text? ;-)

Also, I might have read over it, but instead of the power key as enter button in CWM, I can only use the camera button for selecting an option. (volume keys do work proper)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
i'm facing a problem whenever i click on the fastboot.exe it opens and just closes soo fast i can't even read what's written because it just instantly closes ! :( now what !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LenAsh:
Use the command line - I think you need to read up a bit (lot) more
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] devrruti:
You need to use it from the command line. Put the programs and the kernel in a folder. Execute cmd.exe in Window$ and navigate to the folder (cd folder)

I would love to be able to use fastboot from inside linux, if anyone knows the exact command please write it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
well i agree, i'm a noob but this will change in time :D

thanks anyways i appreciate the help

Edit : ok i did all that it's stuck on "waiting for device"

i read that it has to do with some drivers ? are those the drivers included with the fastboot package ? thanks !

Edit 2 : bundled drivers are not working....

would some one direct me to the fastboot drivers for xperia neo win7 64bit

thanks !

Edit 3 : ok figured it on my own and now flashed inteks kernel v12

thanks guys you all rock !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
it did not read my ext4 partition ? what should i do now ? try with ext3 ?

Edit : found out that i need an ext script , which script do you guys recommend ?!

thanks !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tleung11:
Inteks:

Another update to you about the governors.

I found that even use "powersave" it act weird, it always keep me in highest freq, which acts oppositely.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] inteks:
ok i updated the first post to make the changes/features more transparent

Version V12: -->> Clean as Possible no foreign code (except acpuclock-7x30.c for overclocking)

Included Features:

*OC/UV

*Swap

*usb-storage

*Recovery (modCWM from Doomlord)

*Init.d

*sd_ext

*ext3,ext4,ntfs
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
yes but swap , ext3 , ext4 all need scripts to function properly , right ?

but everything else works 'out of the box' right after installation via fastboot , no ?

thanks ! your kernel rocks by the way, clean with added features compared to stock
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Dark-DJ:
I noticed less battery life in v12 than v11 or v10

@Inteks : Can you upload the v11 plz ? Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawo99:
I think so, too. Here is V11.

http://www.filesonic.com/file/3428679685/inteksV11.rar

Inteks can you make V11 with default speed set to 1000 MHz instead of 1400 Mhz pls?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Dark-DJ:
Thanks, i'm testing the v12 battery life.

Yes, some people wants kernel to increase battery life, no to want performances. The neo is already very speed
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] inteks:
my batterylife is better with v12
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Dark-DJ:
Strange...

How much battery life is used in Youtube playing 30 mins of video in Wifi ?

And what is the "inteks_boot_v2.zip" ? An old version ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tleung11:
intek:

how to change voltage on V12? I tried "incredicontrol", "voltage control" both not working.

Included Features:

*OC/UV <--- does UV mean undervoltage?

Edit: going back to v10, v10 is still best for me, I want features, and I undervolt it and see if it works for battery save :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] inteks:
upps , forgot to activate it. maybe because its based on my clean version...

i'll fix it ASAP ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tleung11:
Ahha :D

Another thing, seems you cut too much governors (just my opinion)

only ondemand & performance left, fewer than stock option now :eek:

For me, even powersave has problem, I can still use conservative, I prefer it when I go sleep, hope you can add them back, thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Chris_Castro:
Coming from Xperia X8

Sorry for noob question, is this kernel compatible with stock SE ROM (2.3.4)?

TIA!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
Same here. Also I use CPU Tuner, about <30% longer battery life thanks to this app.

One thing about CWM. The camera shutter is used for selecting an entry instead of the power button like in the flashable CWM. Why?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] inteks:
Version V15:

-voltages bugfix

-leave the default govenors in

questions about recovery ask doomlord. link in first post.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] hdavid1:
Why did you remove smartassv2? Isn't it good for battery life?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LenAsh:
No! It is awful. The CPU frequency jumps around constantly - battery life is incredibly poor. The only decent Governor appears to be Ondemand. Conservative is very laggy, as expected.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tleung11:
governor powersave still not work as expected, although I don't need it (As I said before, I can replace my profile to conservative), but just thinking there is a "bug" there I just point it out.

All other things seems working perfectly until now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
you kernel is defaulted @ 1.4 GHZ , what's the voltage that you were using for that ? is it in the 'safe' limit ?

thanks :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Dark-DJ:
This kernel (v15) havn't any optimizations about battery life ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
v15 is v12 with just small fixes, battery life is the expected to be the same as v12 !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
ok found out that the msm8255 runs 1100mv for 1ghz and your kernel was like 1300mv for 1.4 ? ami right , did i misunderstand ?

i've used your setxperia app (thanks for that cool app) to tune the cpu voltage down to 1100 (stock voltage) for 1.4ghz and running stability test that is linked in setxperia and it appears that it's doing well , ami good to go with stock voltage on 1.4ghz ?! please answer op or any other members who got knowledge enlighten me please , thank you all !

Edit : after restarting the device , it wasn't stable at all and i got restarted again , upped the voltage to 1.2v for 1.4ghz and it seems working fine now

my question is , is 1.3v (default in inteks kernel) too big or beyond the 'safe' area?

edit 3 : found out that the msm8255 is rock stable for most people @ 1.2ghz and stock voltage !

so i guess it would be better to default the cpu clock of inteks kernel @ 1.2ghz and stock volage instead of 1.4ghz and 1300mv because some people doesn't want to tinker with the voltage and for those who want to push the msm8255 to it's limits they can always use setxperia ! just a suggestion you are the dev in the end :D

thanks !

Edit 2 : after restarting it again it wasn't stable and i had another reboot so upped it to 1250mV, does any body know of any effective way to check for stability ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] inteks:
it guarantees a steady boot progress. and 1.4ghz speeds up booting a bit.

orginal sony code does 1250 for 1.4ghz i think it for ArcS , but my neo definetly need a bit more juice to run 1.4 stable

this 50mV more does no harm to your device

for undervolting/batterysaving you can lower it after boot ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tleung11:
1.4Ghz is a overclock for over 40% already, it's normal that you have to push the voltage a bit, you can just keep stock speed if you don't want to push the voltage.

It's just like CPU overclocking, there is no such thing about "save overclock", but as many people can overclock it to 1.8 or 1.9Ghz, how do you think about 1.4Ghz?

My opinion, I don't agree for 1.2Ghz, it should be 1Ghz if ones want save :D

BTW, I didn't overclock it yet for normal use, 1Ghz is already good enough for me until now, instead, I undervolt mine to 750mv@122800, guess what? After a full charge, it shows 100% after a 8 hrs sleep. (I didn't turn off phone, just set to 122800-1024000, wifi off, data off, phone signal stay on)

I become 99% after I turn on the screen for 1-2mins though, but that's impressive enough for me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Karl.A.C:
Installed version 15

It works perfectly

thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LenAsh:
Just a note, I have seen this on other Qualcomm CPUs in other phones - when operating at 122MHz, users complain of missed calls and stuttering/erratic Bluetooth operation. I have noticed both too, on HTC/ZTE Blade and Neo.

Bottom line: if you get unexpected things happening, go back to 245MHz as your lowest frequency.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tleung11:
I know, thanks, but I think it occurs phone from phone, so need to test.

My old HTC phone also has this problem, my friend's G2 also, and I just know that other NEO also may not run normally at 112.

I don't have this problem, at least I can receive calls and alarm work at that freq, and I will set it to 245 when working.

I think it's not reasonable if it can't run, 112 is there for stock kernel... although default lowest speed is 245.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
thanks for your reply , mine does 1.4ghz @ 1225mV i've been testing it no reboots so far even when gaming and running heavy emulators like fpse it's stable i gamed for like 30 mins no stability issues so far also restarted the device alot to check if it will reboot again on the first run still it was ok do you know of any other way to stress test the cpu to further check if it was stable or not ?!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawo99:
Where are listed all default voltages for NEO?? :confused:

I want it to underclocking.

Is upper values on this picture the default ones?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LenAsh:
Yes they are
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawo99:
thanks man :-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
you sure ? according to this our chip uses 1200mV for the stock 1GHZ ?!

isn't this a bit too much for stock i learned that the msm8255 uses 1100mV by default for 1GHZ !

may somebody shed some light on this for us ? the default for stock 1GHZ is 1100mV or 1200mV?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LenAsh:
Pulled cat from stock 42 ROM - 1GHz is 1200mV

Remember that SE will apply a huge margin of safety. Inteks fabulous SetVSel for Moto Defy allows huge reductions for this very same reason.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] 3x4d:
*.sh

Incredible kernel.

I tried to use SetCPU, but there no control of voltage.

Then I tried to use SetXperia, but I cant reach so low voltage level.

And now I am using scripts and can reach 750 mV for 122880 and 1150 mV for 1401600 (see the script below). Upper frequency I don't tested.

All experiments/sets I make with this:

GScript -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=488928

And for autostart I use this:

SD Tweakz -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011266

Without any resident program in memory (leave the kernel to work as it is) and if I have trouble, I remove the SD card and restart the phone.

My phone is Xperia neo 2.3.4 - 4.0.2.A.0.42

Edit on 16.11.2011

I tested this script up to 1612 MHz - it works for me.

Edit on 17.11.2011

I tested this script up to 1804 MHz - it works for me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
lol 1200 is surely way too much mine takes 1225 - 1250 for 1.4ghzand that's 40% oc.... but i need to really further test my device at those voltages how can i heavily stress test it is there something out there to stress test the cpu such as prime95 for pc , pc geeks anyone ? :D

Sent from my MT15i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LenAsh:
No issues here - (I use a script in init.d to limit the CPU clock speeds to 1GHz and reduce Vdd across the piece for even more savings)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawo99:
Can you upload this script please?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
i have a problem don't know if it's related to this kernel , my neo some times randomly sets it's cpu maximum frequancy to as little as 122mhz only !!

max freq = 122mhz

min freq = 122mhz

and it happens randomly i mean RANDOM !! the device just becomes so laggy even the simplest stuff become laggy and i have to reset the maximum allowed cpu frequancy again to 1401mhz using sexperia to make the device act normal again !

hope some one can clear this up for me......

So I'm not sure why this is happening lately, however, every time I boot into recovery mode, I get that triangle image with the exclamation point in the middle on my screen and a message ” Installation Aborted ” on the bottom of the screen. Any ideas on why this might be happening?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Jaytex24:
That has happened to me once before, not sure why it happened though. All you can do really is press volume up and the power button again, hold until you launch the factory recovery screen, should be blue colored font and like only 3 or so options available. One option is to install/load update.zip, thats your CWM recovery image, once you load that you should be good. Its the only way to flash the custom recovey. While we are on the subject, does anyone know how to, or in what folder the recovery image needs to go in so that you can flash directly from rom manager?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Rom manager several issues on our phones. I would try termial emulator and root explorer for adding an image.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dmarco:
I get the same message over and over again.... E: signature verification failed. Installation aborted. Any ideas???
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Col.Kernel:
If you can hook your phone to your PC and have ADB installed follow the instructions below.

I imagine you can follow them from a terminal emulator on the phone as well, but the / key doesn't work from the hardware keyboard, and on some softkeyboards it's hard to find if it exists at all.

In any event i am glad i upgraded and with all of the mods and tweaks i love this phone

[HTC EVO 3D] Got_Evo?:
I owned the epic touch for about three weeks. Got tired with the issues I was having (LOS) plus its a Sammy. So, I switched it out for the 3D. Can't be happier. Sure, the ET is a nice phone, just wasn't for me.

3VO
[HTC EVO 3D] monkeychef:
Thanks guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rob the plumber:
I like the phone, but i'm not blown away by it. In my opinion my original Evo has a better camera and speaker. The battery life is much improved and the screen has higher resolution. This higher resolution unfortunately makes your keyboard smaller. I often grab my old Evo (which I gave to my wife) and it instantly feels more comfortable than my 3d. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] lchupacabras:
Great phone but not the best; I'm thinking about bugging Sprint and switching over to the ET for a bit just to see what it is all about; from what I've experienced the build quality is lower BUT the overall innards of the phone (camera/speakers/mics/processor, etc) are much higher specd and work better together.

Also I am entirely sick of SENSE; I didn't like it on my old WinMob phone and I simply HATE it on Android; AOSP is where it's at and I really wish there was a nice phone that ran straight stock Android on the Sprint network (hated the Nexus S 4g for reasons that the ET doesn't have, hence why I might make the switch.)

Overall, good phone but it doesn't WOW me, mainly because of sense and the speakers on the damn thing; the camera is fine; the 3d is fun; the speed of the device is good; and I haven't had too many issues w/ the radios/connectivity.
[HTC EVO 3D] monkeychef:
Nice to hear about improved battery life. I heard a few negative things when it first came out.
