hi, for freq_table is there a pre-defined value range that it would accept for the frequency steps..

As it would never accept a value like the below

echo "1100 950 851 601 450 300 200 100" >

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/freq_table

Pls dont debate on the frequency step values....as this is purely for experimental purpose

EDIT :

Finally, managed to set up the below :

freq_table ==> 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 100

UV_mV_table ==> 1250 1150 1050 950 900 850 825 800

THAT is because the phone does not have enough power on the USB-Port to get it to actually start.

If you have a powered USB-Drive, or USB-Pen-Drive or use a powered USB-Hub in between phone and portable 640GB HDD, then it should work without problem.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ogredani:
Tried to find an answer to this, but didn't.

I'm currently running the speedmod kernel, which comes with CWM and SU etc.

If I want to flash another kernel (like siyah), do I simply flash the new one over the old one? Including wiping cache. (assuming the kernel is compatible with the ROM of course)

If the previous kernel installed governors, may these be in conflict with the new kernel? If so, can you just uninstall them from the app manager?

If the previous kernel installed apps, I assume I may just uninstall them if they turn out to be incompatible. Correct?

So bottomline, if I wanted to try the siyah kernel:

Flash, wipe cache, and I'm done?

If I want to revert back to speedmod (or any other kernel), just flash, wipe cache, and I'm done?

Not sure how much residue a previous kernel leaves behind, so I want to make sure I understand it all before possibly bloating my phone. :)

Results for SpeedMod / Phenomenal / void / N.E.A.K. / Siyah / stock kernels

Everything is specific to my phone, my "normal" usage and my home location. Most values are exact results, but some are rounded. I usually have wifi, synch (three email accounts, calendar and news), Google Talk and Skype on.

For all custom kernels, I was running on Frankenstein XWKL1 ROM (Modem: XXKL1).

For stock kernels, I was running on the corresponding stock ROM.

Always using the Samsung's standard / stock 1650mAh battery.

Just finished my battery tests with Siyah v2.6.5 and added its results.

Here are my current results:

Benchmarks

Battery stats

Siyah kernel is really impressive.

If tested it with completely default settings - so nothing changed/optimized.

And its results are not bad ... and with all its "TWEAKS" => configurable settings for governors/UV/etc. this kernel will rock your phone after correct tuning.

As I am "lazy" and want to test other kernels/versions, I have just changed my kernel, but will definitely come back and test new version of this kernel.

Big thanks to gokhanmoral for developing and sharing his kernel !

Siyah thanks for the great kernel!

But!!!

2.6.5 is causing many issues (I am on MIUI 2.1.6), to name a few:

- Battery runs out quickly

- Wifi drains lots of battery and has weaker signal than stock

- Market Hangs (this may be not related to Siyah but thought you might want to know)

Hi all. I`ve tried to use this script but it doesn`t work. I`ve used different values eg. 650 550 450, 750 600 450, 100 600 450 etc. None of these makes any change when charging. I`ve tested it with couple of car chargers powered by 12Vpower supply that measures current and voltage.

The phone only has two charging steps, 450mA and 650mA, if you set the current to between 450mA and less than 650mA it will charge at 450mA, if you set it to 650mA or above it will charge at 650mA.

Hi guys. I have problem (aye aye captain obvious). My configuration will follow along with screenshots of the problem. My battery was being in a quite reasonable manner 1% per hour.

Anyone seen anything like that before? I'm using setcpu with lulzactive governor but its possible that i rebooted my phone before 11 i don't actually remember and it set the on demand governor because i didn't tick set on boot in set CPU.

Lags in HD games

Hi guys,

I am so happy with the siyah kernel which I flashed last night, in overall it's good (of course better than stock one!). However while using CPU governors (smartassv2, lulzactive) droid get's laggy in HD game (ie. Asphalt 6) but it's OK in On demand. using UV does not make much difference. In case of battery consumption I would like to use other governors.any suggestion could help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
Hi mate, that's not surprising really. In my experience, those governors require extra modification to run HD games without lagging or overheating the cpu.

Ondemand is probably the most battery efficient and smooth in latest Siyah, followed closely by Conservative.

If you would like, I can send you my Voltage Control config that I have been sending out to Siyah users. Using it should sort all your issues out.
