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.

For void.echo I enabled the UV - nothing else.

For Siyah, as it has many, many configurable settings, I have changed nothing - just default settings.

For N.E.A.K. 1.x (Lulzactive) I tested the default setting with VR schedule and Lulzactive governor – nothing else changed.

For N.E.A.K. 1.2 (Lionheart) I tested SIO schedule, Conservative governor and Lionheart tweaks enabled – rest unchanged defaults.

For N.E.A.K. 1.3 (Lionheart) I tested VR schedule, Conservative governor, Lionheart tweaks and sched_mc enabled – rest unchanged defaults.

I just tested Siyah 2.6.7 with default settings and added its results.

I also added some (other) benchmarks, as some users asked for it.

Here are my current results:

Benchmarks

Battery stats

I have a new favorite kernel: Siyah 2.6.7 !

It is not the smoothest kernel on my phone, but even without any changes (i.e. customization like UV, etc.) it has the best battery savings for mixed usage.

So, it is really hard for me to flash another kernel, but I have some new kernels / versions on my list.

P.S.:

I will keep a nandroid backup on my external sd card to be able to go back to this excellent kernel.

Siyah 2.6.x problems

Hello together,

Have some problems. The newest Siyah 2.6.x line reproduces the problem has been fixed in 2.5.2 - the max value is not stored, when modified and "set on Boot" is enabled and then rebooted.

That means that if i use some CPU tuning tool like SetCPU, and the Kernel 2.6.x is installed, i can overclock and underclock the CPU, but if i reboot while the setting "set on Boot" is enabled, the max value is not saved.

While using Siyah 2.5.2 build - that does not happen. I can modify the values and they are stored if "set on Boot" enabled.

So please notify the author to fix it.

currently using CF-ROOT, however when Siyah is fixed with max value not saving i change

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaocH:
Oh, don't get me wrong. There have been reports. But I find it insignificant. Depends if you use the widget also and the refresh intervals. Also it will be good to know what rom, kernel you are using. Whether you are overclocking / undervolting or not, and if there are wakelocks. I would also say usage patterns, but i guess you are basically comparing with your previous experience before you switched kernel/ rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambstone:
Yeah, best way to find out is to try it out I suppose. Didn't use the widget. But I'm getting full functionality out of my sgs2. 3g is on, sync is on, push exchange mail, whatsapp, well. the works. Used to remember a time when I was on VR2.0 and experience miraculous 1% drain overnight. Somehow that disappeared along the way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaocH:
VR2.0? you mean version 2.0 of siyahkernel? probably could try to underclock the lowest setting to 25MHz and see if there are significant gains. Also, do remember to check for wakelocks that can be caused by some programmes that have been installed along the way. Oh and i found ES task manager to be quite useful to manage startup programmes to remove the useless ones. Helps to free some ram and probably extend battery life a little.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambstone:
Nope. I meant villian rom. Underclock the lowest setting to 25mhz? What do you mean by that. I've probably minimized my wakelocks as much as possible. Startup programs monitor... hmm.. i'll have a quick look at it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave_p_b:
Hi.

Just wondering if there's anything in this new 2.1 kernel that can cause the microphone to keep cutting out mid call.

Since experimenting with the beta versions and now RC2 I've noticed people not being able to hear me for up to 10 seconds at a time.

Reverted back to Siyah 2.0 now and the problems seems to have stopped.

Any insights on this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

p.s. I'm using the WanamLite5.2 ROM and noise reduction is turned off in that rom by default (I think).

So i took out the battery and rebooted. now it gets pass the boot animation but when the media scanner scans the sd card it freezes again. Tried to flash the siyah 1.8 kernel from external sd, but can't enter the folder. And it gets incredibly hot in seconds... Any suggestions?

edit: managed to flash it back to 1.8, but still get the freeze after ~1min on homescreen
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadouming:
This sounds like bad overclocking/undervolting settings. If you have voltage control, try to get in it as fast as possible on boot and make menu, remove boot settings. If SetCPU, you will have to search but there is a file to be flashed on CWM that start setCPU in safemode. If it's another program, sry i can't help.

Thanks for the reply :)

After flashing back to Siyah V2.0 it seems ok. I've rang several people and don't seem to be getting the microphone cutting out.

For some unknown reason it seems to cut out more if I have the mains charging cable plugged in when I make a call. (That could just be coincidence though as often have it plugged in when I'm at home)

It's similar to the noise cancellation problem whereby if you turn the loud speaker on/off or turn noise reduction on/off (if you can), it seems to temporarily fix the issue.

I might wait for Siyah 2.1 final to come out. Do a full wipe on my phone, reinstall Wannalite5.2 and Siyah2.1 and see if that fixes it.

GPU OC 400MHz and Voltage Control

As everybody knows, in version 2.6.7 of the kernel there are three gpu frequency steps 160 267 and 300, today playing with GPU OC realized that if the clock is changed with voltage control to 400MHz the gpu_clock_control table located in /sys/class/misc changes incorrectly, 400MHz is set as the second step instead of the third.

I know that this can be corrected manually, I just wanted to let everybody knows that voltage control is not going to change the GPU frequency parameters correctly (at least not in kernel versions with three gpu frequency steps).

Maybe I have to take a look at some popular configs, such as the "MagicConfig" from geko95gek?!

That's understandable since every CPU is slightly different. Anyways I don't think those are totally accurate as I was picking them out off the top of my head. Should be pretty close though.

The best thing to do to find out stock voltages is to "remove boot settings" in VC then reboot the device. Stock voltages will show up when the phone boots up.
