flashed it right over faux123 v10 kernel , running nexus mod 4 and no sod . running from 384 - 1.13 on demand deep sleep 8 hours one core seems to run at 192 mhz on demand though I guess because I installed the 1.78 script as well

using both fauxCPU and system tuner

I kinda wish really that anything over 1.78 wasn't there as it instantly reboots my phone but no biggie not like I run it often just don't wanna kill my phone of course , doubtful though its undervolted .75mv across the board

working on getting BLN support in right now, drop by #skyrocket on irc.irondust.net if you'd like to chat about it, i'll be in there while i hammer away :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Girn:
why is it that it lags beastmod rom tho? It's strange... i mean all the benchmarks show its faster but the pulldown menu scrolling through power saving features lags and so does scrolling through widgets.... so strange
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Da_G:
try setting it to use 384 as the minimum speed rather than 192. some users on tmob kernel thread were mentioning various issues related to 192 including laggy scrolling and sleep-of-death.

Anyone else having issues on stock rom and the 1.72ghz kernel where the phone won't wake up from sleep pressing the power button? I have to pull the battery to reboot. This is not the case every time it goes to sleep but i has happened three times now since i installed the new kernel about 3 hours ago.

How do you set min cpu with System Tuner, use to using SetCPU.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Charsher47:
Its the second sliding bar in the CPU section of the tweaks menu. For me it seems it will move back to 192 or up to my max clock after I set it to something else, exit out, and reenter the app. One of the cores will still obey the min that I told it and the other will go down to 192.

Don't know if its the kernel or the app that's causing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Schwaxdoc:
I have the same behavior. The reboot still honored the changes though. I still have the occasional black screen on wake maybe 10% of the time despite the minimum clock change. Setcpu= weirder behavior.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SwayProductions:
Ok, this worked fine on my Skyrocket the first time... i got my Skyrocket replaced, rooted it, CWM installed, but when i flash the kernel it never boots up, i either get the samsung logo or a black screen... am i doing something wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crawlgsx:
No matter what I set min to it still jumps up (1 core) to 1.4ghz or higher all the time. Can't seem to get it to idle at any kind of power savings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Schwaxdoc:
Simply change the minumum freq to anything greater than 384 Mhz

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

I am using the Stick ROM with CID removed and DA_G Kernel, not SkySTOCKeteer. Maybe this has something to do with it. I found that if I pushed the back button after setting the minimum freq., it usually stays put. I think that once DA_G changes the default governor to "on demand" we all should be good. It is still quirky.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
Using Setcpu and Pimpmycup and have not had any issues Yet ( had the black screen thing) but i just didnt use the 192 and i have not seen come back yet.

it runs like a CHAMP.

have not under volted though.

Battery life has really suffered with this.

Fully charged when I went to sleep, 8hrs later... 40% at standby
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crawlgsx:
x2, it is because one core (and sometimes both) are not clocking down. I had to get rid of this for now, after much tweaking I could not get it to calm down and I really enjoy the stock battery life :-D. I plan to try again later after the revision comes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] highlanderx:
Not only that, but it would heat up like crazy...

How do I flash the stock kernel back? or the stocketeer kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crawlgsx:
Yeah I also noticed that, I pulled it out of my pocket and the back was really hot.

I just reflashed SkySTOCKeteer and started from scratch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Schwaxdoc:
you can just download the stock Kernel from a different thread and use ODIN or CWM to reflash it. Do not forget to clear your caches.

When I pulled the phone out of my pocket the back of the phone was HOT, not like warm, HOT. Well above ambient. That was with my phone idling for 45-60 minutes. I didn't check actual temperature.

Works on Rogers SGH-i727R

I can confirm that your kernel at 1.78GHz works on the Rogers version of the Skyrocket, model SGH-i727R.

I tried the original 1.83GHz version, but I kept going into a boot loop at the "Samsung" screen.

Right now, at 1.78GHz, all seems to be going well. I've only had it going for about 15 minutes, and temperatures so far seem okay. I will report back later when the unit has been on for a few hours.

I'm doing some benchmarks as we speak. Here's what I have so far:

Quadrant: 3878

Antutu: 7179

CF: 7880

Vellamo: 1228

ALL FANTASTIC SCORES! (in my humble opinion)

I will try a few LTE data tests this evening. My connection here at work is terrible, but at home it's great. So far, using the standard kernel, with no mods at all ... simply a stock device that's rooted and unlocked, I'm averaging about 29-30Mb/s down, and about 11-13Mb/s up. I'll let you know later tonight if your kernel has any effect, good or bad.

Right now I'm quite impressed. So far so good. Only time will tell, but right now you're on the right track. Keep up the great work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PeterGuru:
Strange Behaviour ...

As stated in an earlier thread this afternoon, I installed v0.1 at 1.78GHz and everything was working great.

Now I installed the new v0.2, and I'm getting something strange. The lockscreen is completely transparent ... so that I can see my standard home screen. Unfortunately, though, the clock on the lockscreen interferes with the home screen (visually). It's a bit distracting.

Did I do something wrong?

Yes, I wiped the cache partition and the Dalvik cash, etc.

Peter

Addendum: Now System Tuner can't maintain the 1.78GHz. It keeps defaulting back to 1.51GHz. Sometimes the second core increases to 1.51GHz, or thereabouts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jake:

Issue booting into CWM

Is anyone else having issues booting into CWM. I am running .2 of the kernel (same issue on .1). When I power on using vol+/- and power button which would normally boot into CWM, I get the initial Samsung screen and then it goes to a black screen and continually vibrates.

Yeah reflash with the .2 release. It fixes the shutdown issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Da_G:
Call this one pre-0.3,

I trimmed out the *[X] governors since they are not yet complete. Trimmed the CPU frequency table to optimize the behavior of the speed governors, seems like it could probably stand to be trimmed even more judging by the time spent in various states. Lowered the minimum clock to 54MHz, this seems to survive deep sleep with no issues unlike 192MHz :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PeterGuru:
New report ...

Okay, now that I've been using your revised 0.1 kernel at 1.78GHz for almost a day, I can report the following:

Everything works incredibly well on the Rogers SGH-i727R, with ONLY one exception at this time ... battery.

Last night I charged my phone to 100%. At midnight the phone automatically goes into airplane mode. Everything is basically off. Prior to using your kernel (using stock kernel), I would still have about 95% charge by 7am the next morning.

This morning; however, I had only 49%. Not good! It appears that one of the two cores is constantly at 1.78GHz, while the other one is being adjusted properly by System Tuner ... from 1.78GHz down to 384MHz.

Is there anything that can be done to adjust the second core?

Benchmark scores; however, are incredibly high. Higher than anything I've experienced before and, using Vellamo, I was almost able to get the number one position on the chart, which is unbelievable. My score was 1280. Other benchmarks, AnTuTu, CF, Quadrant, were equally impressive.

Yes, I tried version 0.2, but as I said in an earlier post on this page, I was getting unusual behaviour. My lockscreen was completely transparent, so when the phone was in lock mode, I was able to see my home screen underneath. Although this might normally not be a bad thing, the lockscreen clock still interferes with the home screen. One is overlayed over the other.

Peter
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cliff p:
As for my phone, I installed the .2 kernel last night and battery life is LOVELY again. Now the phone actually idles as it should. I found my other issue to be cellular reception issues in the building I work out of. This was causing the phone to search constantly and switch from 2G/3G/4G while attempting to connect.

I installed an app from the market that disables the LTE auto feature, so now battery life is greatly improved.

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sebzer0:
What app are you using to disable the LTE auto?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PeterGuru:
Further up-date ...

It now seems that 0.2 is working properly.

I decided to try flashing it again to see if my first attempt, along with the transparent lockscreen issue, was simply a glitch. This appears to be the case.

The lockscreen issue is now gone, and from what I can tell in System Tuner, both cores are being handled properly.

Time for some benchmarks ...

I'll report back on the results, and battery performance a bit later.

So, great job. Keep it up. I've downloaded the pre-0.3, but haven't flashed it yet. I'll wait until I've completed my tests with 0.2.

Peter

P.S. There is one other thing, and I'm sure it's kernel related. When I was using the 1.78GHz version of 0.1, all the alarm sounds, notification sounds, and ringtones in system/media/audio are not accessible. I can't get any sounds unless I put them on my sdcard. The same holds true with 0.2. For example, if I go into Settings>Sound>Phone ringtone, nothing is listed. The same is true for Settings>Sound>Notification ringtone.

When I went back to the stock kernel, the sounds became accessible again. Now that I'm back on 0.2, sounds are not there.

Any ideas?

I've been using pre-0.3 since this morning and the battery drain seems to be MASSIVELY improved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
when i swtiched to the pre 0.3 i noticed that in system tuner i no longer would have both cores running.

is this due to a bug, or is it more simple like its just not using both cores until it needs the power/speed??

because if i go back to 0.2 then system tuner shows both cores consistantly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] decimusmaximus7:
How do you get that setting to stick?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cliff p:
Funny you mention that. I was just pondering the same thing and was coming back here to talk some more about it.

I can say with certainty that my phone has not attempted an LTE connection and has been rock solid since I had set it. I only wish there were a way to verify that it's sticking. When you go back into the app, I'm assuming that the app defaults to the GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto option. That's the only thing I can think of?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] amlwaycooljr:
I just wanted to put in my two cents, I've updated to the latest pre-release 0.3 and am still having a problem where one core will scale just fine while the other is seemingly stuck at the highest clock speed (1.56 in my case) Does anyone know why this is happening its really killing my battery life. Also concerning the black screen of death problem 54 mhz seems to run fine for me I haven't had it stuck at the black screen with 0.3, so far so good.

:UPDATE:

I wiped and reflashed skyrocketeer and I'm having no problems with the clock steppings now

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cliff p:
And for the OP-

I'm not sure if it's a battery monitoring app that has caused the error or not, but since installing your .2 revision of the OC/UV kernel last night, I haven't seen battery usage drop below 100%? :confused:

I find that highly improbable/impossible. I pulled up Android System Info, and it reports battery life at 100% after 6h 17m 8s.

Display 65% of that, cell standby 13% of that, and everything else below 10%

CPU spy reports 14:47:17 (97%) at 384MHz, and 0:18:01 (1%) at deep sleep. 1512MHz has only hit 0:06:57 (0%)

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Da_G:
Re: Battery life sticking @ 100%, I have seen that reported on the stock ROM occasionally as well, reboot and it should report OK. If this doesn't clear it up try wiping the cache/clearing battery stats from CWM.

0.1 was set @ performance governor and cpu1 was always online - stock kernel always has CPU1 online too. For 0.3 ondemand governor is default and CPU1 is hotpluggable. This means it will toggle on/off per system load - if there isn't enough demand for CPU1 it will shut itself off.

Battery life should be much improved with 0.3-pre as the system will now idle @ 54mhz with a slight undervolt rather than 384mhz at stock voltage, CPU1 will shut off when idle, and a deeper sleep mode is enabled when the screen is powered off.

Re: Sticking at a high clock speed, go into whatever app you are using to save the overclock settings and disable it from saving. Uninstall the app or otherwise disable it from applying settings at startup, optionally use adb/root explorer/similar to clear the script from /system/etc/init.d that the tool made to apply settings also. Then reboot, see if you are experiencing this behavior without any scripts adjusting the overclock/undervolt/etc. - you can also try checking in adb shell for the currently selected governor: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor (use cpu1 instead of cpu0 to check that CPU) - one of them may be on performance for some reason (both should be ondemand by default)

BTW: Here's how you can observe the hotplugging behavior of CPU1 in system tuner:

Open it, go to the tweaks section, CPU tab

You'll see a graph for CPU0 and none for CPU1 (assuming system tuner is the only thing you have open)

Connect USB in debugging mode, open two seperate ADB shells

In one execute the command: "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null"

This will load CPU0 to 100%, CPU1 will remain offline.

Issue the same command in the 2nd adb shell - now you should see CPU1 come online and both pegged @ 100%

Hit control-C in both adb shells to stop the command executing - now you should see CPU1 drop offline again.

Any clue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PeterGuru:
I think I'm running v0.2

I've been going back and forth with your kernels, and I'm not quite sure which one is installed now. When you check the Settings/About, it simply has a plus sign after the kernel.

I think it's 0.2 (1.78GHz)

Here are some test results:

I'm incredibly impressed. Sadly, though, I still can't seem to resolve the sound file issue. It really isn't that big a problem because I can simply have the alarms, notifications and ringtone files on my SDCard.

Peter

Addendum: Further to a comment I made at the very beginning above, is there any way to add some kind of identifier in the Settings/About/Kernel section to show the kernel version we're using?

Thanks!
