Results for SpeedMod / Phenomenal / 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 XWLA4 ROM (Modem: XXKL1).

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

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

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

For N.E.A.K. I tested VR schedule, Lulzactive governor, only enabled sched_mc and the rest unchanged defaults.

Just tested Phenomenal 4.0 Extreme on my XWLA4 ROM and added its results.

Here are my current results:

Benchmarks (in Performance governor if available)

Battery stats

Phenomenal 4.0 Extreme is very stable and smooth on my phone.

It has got slightly better battery savings in standby / over night usage, but a little bit less battery life in my "normal" / mixed usage compared to SpeedMod K2-21.

Maybe I have to do a second battery cycle/test to verify my results, as former versions of Phenomenal Extreme always had better battery savings on my phone than the corresponding SpeedMod kernel.

I guess I had some chats in WhatsApp last day (which I had not when testing SpeedMod), which might have influenced the results that way.

Will report back after my next tests.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] thehunt33r:
Great Kernel !!

After one charge, at the end of the day I have 82% left with wifi 2h and music 1h. Gorgious !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] markp1989:
this is a screen shot of my battery use today.

Juice defender was running on the "peak" schedule from 8am-8pm with data on.

I spent a about 3 or 4 hours playing music when on the way to/from uni, as well as reading the news using ever paper whilst on the tube.

took a few photos and spent about 40minutes playing MX mayhem and a little while playing snake 97

had my gmail account active and whatsapp running received multiple messages and a few minutes worth of voice calls.

during the day i received about 12 notifications using "notify my android"

spent a bit facebooking.

over all battery lasted about 12 hours before going down to 10%, that's with 4hours 35min screen on time with brightness set to auto.

I think getting over 4 and a half hours screen time with some pretty heavy usage is pretty good when using the stock battery.

edit: I attached the BBS log file

based on the BBS log file do you think there are any other tweaks that I can do to get more out of it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BrandoHD:
You should probably start by removing juice defender which had 20 minutes of wakelocks and thousands of startups, it does seem the app was not granted root so the dump is missing some vital information that can assist in solving your issues.

When analyzing the dump, look at the count as well as the time, posting over into BBS thread would garner you more assistance and more solutions though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ausboy 2011:
yep i love this kernel :) thanks dev its my choice to stick with this now, 3 days use, 4 and a half hours screen on time!! beast kernel bro
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GregX80:
Maybe phenomeno give as some knowledge about undergoing but if you will go after his informations in undervolt guide u will see that script creating cwm and odin files after undervolt doesn't work. I've stock after undervolt and I have no f.... idea how to create cwm or odin file. I try ask Phenomeno but he didn't respond.

Half an hour screen on :) You aren't very heavy user are u?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rab1412000:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alexpiri:
It doesn't matter! Each phone is different. Some gs support extreme voltages, some doesn't.

Why you think fenomenono made 3versions? Because of some devices doesn't support big undervolt! It is a question of luck. :D maybe with extreme versione you could have random reboots or fc with some apps, if so change version and go to medium, and if the same thing happens to the normal one

[Galaxy S II Android Development] spymare:
ok :) thanks. what roms would work with this? i'm looking for a minimal rom, with as few apk as possible, I really don't like the stock rom, since there's lots of bloatware. I like miui, but i dont think this kernel supports it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alexpiri:
No this kernel is only for samsung based rom (no cm, no miui) and not yet for ics because of the missing codes. I'm running disaster v3.9c and I'm really satisfied because it is fast and stable and light! You can remove bloat with titanium or rootexplorer

Just go for SlimRom 1.1.2. Many people say that 1.2 versions are buggy. Or WanamLite would be an option. You can also flash a rom which is close to stock like Checkrom and remove all the stuff u dont like with Titanium Backup
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TaoNinja:
Guys can anyone shed some light for me please?

I was using 4.0 fine with Hyperdroid and never had a problem with Extreme version and it always flashed fine..

Now i suddenly changed to a Rom like Checkrom V6 or any other rom based on XLA4 and now when i flash it, I get past the Yellow triangle screen and then its just a black screen, No LED nothing just black even if the phone is plugged in VIA usb, it doesnt even go to charge, Its just Black..

If i flash a stock Samsung Rom, i get the same problem,

Anyone know whats going on o.O?

I could flash this Kernel no problem before on anything >"<
[Galaxy S II Android Development] androidkid311:
Same thing here mate. I dont have a clue. My boot up screen is black but ok after that. But ill give it an hour or 2.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TaoNinja:
Weeeh what the hell is going on,

It was working fine before :(

I want to use this Kernel i like it huhuh,

What do you mean "It was ok after that"??

I never got past the black screen and just had to reflash new firmware on it, and then my custom rom and different kernel >"<
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zekurosu:
i'm using it with CheckROM V6 which is based on XWLA4 ... so far so good ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pissyhun:
hi

if u want a slim rom and very good i can recomand krinyo75 slimrom 1.2.3 based on xwla4. u can find it on development section. there were some problems in 1.2.1 but in 1.2.3 all is ok. i recommand you to read his thread and give it a try. i am running also phenomenal 4.0 extreme with this rom and i am very satisfied.

Yh after the black screen boot animation it starts but after a few hours it crashes. :(. Man i miss this kernel. Just flashed speedmod and works fine... Lol. Im sooo baffled.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fenomeno83:
Guys. My first phenomenal release was only with normal/stable settings, working in all phones. After i added medium and extreme version for phones that supports less undervolting.

so, if you try extreme and have problems, it's normal, because not all phones can works with low voltages. You can switch to medium version and if have problems yet, go to normal(better battery of original speedmod because it is a little undervolted in several modules)

normal: stable for all and better battery of original speedmod

Medium: stable for many users and better battery of normal

Extreme: can be instable for several users, but have best battery saving

I am a lucky man, never had a problem with extreme version. Thanks fenomeno for your work.

Noticed that when using 4.0 extreme while I did not experience freezes or SOD.. my Microsd card reader will randomly give errors saying files stored in it cannot be opened or played (mp3s).

Flashed to 4.0 medium and the problem goes away :)

Didn't encounter this when using 2.0 extreme previously.

Is the default governor and scheduler, on demand/ cfq? Min200 max 1.2?

They won't help you save battery?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
I'm saying with this kernel they are not necessary and they make it probably more worse than

good, people are complaining about this kernel sometimes but after asking in many cases they have tried to "tune it" some phone s don't even work with the"stock"-extreme version so it makes not much sense to undervolt an already heavy undervolted kernel.

Especially if they are rookies on this. :-)

Swyped from my GT-I9100 using XDA App.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Not for running on SpeedMod or Phenomenal kernel.

If you are running a kernel which supports voltage control (VC), such as N.E.A.K., Siyah or RedPill, then you are fine !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rab1412000:
Doesn't voltage control allow me to underclocking the CPU and change governors and io schedulers?

It is an unlocked and selectable feature for me in voltage control.

Hmm. I think ill give it one more test then.

These are my current results with CheckROM V6, XXKL1. Bluetooth, WiFi, 3G/HSDPA, Sync, all switched on continuously.

Who's using phenomenal extreme? It's not smooth on mine (swiping home screens, go launcher, opening windows/apps). Wondering on how does it fare to you guys. Does using normal or medium can smoothen the phone?

Im assuming youre running Checkrom V6, i saw many ppl complaining about that being the case, i even experienced it myself...only reason i could think of is the Checkrom guys modified framework and co.

im running VKs rom and its smooth as silk over here, what leads me to believe it is a rom related issue (as both are using LA4 as base).

im running extreme, on VR 3.0, let's share some results, that is with normal usage:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
I meant that you can not undervolt (UV) SpeedMod and Phenomenal kernel by using voltage control (VC) app, as the kernel does not support it.

SpeedMod K2-21 (and Phenomenal 4.0) only supports (paid) Tegrak OC app.

So, you are correct that you can change min./max. CPU freq, io sched and governor.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cruzargel:
My first cycle using this kernel. Stock battery. Weird though, on idle I lost 5% in 4 hours!!

Just hoping that it will be smooth just like other kernels.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] therion21:
is it possible to reduce frequency to 100MHz?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
You mean the min CPU freq?

There are many posts and good arguments from Entropy512 in various threads about this topic.

Search a little bit and build up your own opinion.

For me, there are more reliable arguments that reducing the min CPU freq from 200 MHz to 100 MHz will not reduce the battery consumption at all ... it could even lead to a slightly higher battery consumption.

If you will come to another conclusion, just flash a kernel which can be easily configured (such as Siyah, NEAK or RedPill), use an app to change the freq (such as voltage control) and test it.

EDIT:

You can use voltage control (free app from the Market) to change the CPU freq for SpeedMod (and Phenomenal) kernel too.

But this kernel does not support as many changes as the other kernels.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pissyhun:
Hi

Lowering cpu freq at 100 mhz bad move. Tested with several kernels and just BAD. And was tested with this kernel before too.

This kernel is the best in terms of battery life when you use your phone. I got 8hours of screen time.with 5% left. However, the idle time sucks though, losing 1% an hour. On other kernels it's less than 1% an hour.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] androidkid311:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] dhrv:
thanks for your reply!

i don't get it, by chance i got the exact same setup as you do (SlimRom + Phenomenal 4.0 Extreme + KL1 and lots of stuff frozen or removed, including maps and network location) but my phone only survives 2 days and AOS takes up 60% of the battery, with a CPU total for about 10% of the running time of the phone (1 hour in 10 hours phone uptime).

what accounts and which sync settings are you using? do you restrict you phone to use 2G or switch data off or use juice defender or very smart llama/tasker/locale profiles?

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

almost no videos have DRM. i had this error once, but it was very weird. to resolve the video from not playing or only playing once and then freezing, you have to install/unfreeze all DRM services (just search for "drm" in titanium backup), then watch a video, enable and disable the screen lock OF the video player (pressing the power button while the video is playing), exit the video player with screen lock off and then uninstall/freeze all DRM stuff.

i don't know why this works, it makes absolutely no sense, but i could even reproduce this on my sister's sgs2.
