I tried loading the module via a startup script, but was trying to load it off /sdcard which wasn't mounted yet, so nothing loaded.

I tried loading the module from /system/modules/ via /system/etc/init.d/modules.sh (which was called from /system/etc/install-recovery.sh) but that didn't seem to do anything.

I tried loading the module from /system/modules directly from /system/etc/install-recovery.sh but that didn't seem to do anything.

But then the reboot loop started. Removing the /system/modules and /system/etc changes fixed that.

If I manually insmod the module after booting via the terminal, then everything runs fine. SmartassV2 governor selected in SetCPU.

Tried installing Module Loader 1.1 apk via a couple of different apps, but it won't install for me. Haven't tried to push it via adb, yet.

Yeah, I'm not really sure what's going on. :( Will play around with things and see what I can come up with.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] phoenix_rizzen:
It looks like it was some other change I did at the same time.

Moved the module to the second partition on the SDCard (used by Link2SD), edited /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to load the module after that partition is mounted, and everything has been working correctly across multiple manual reboots and several days of phone usage.

Thanks for your work on making the module. :)

Any chance you can do something similar for the other CPU governors or I/O schedulers? ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chiefy009:
everything goes fine then on last command i get something along the lines of insmod cant open cpufreq_smartass2.ko ???

going mad what am i doing wrong ?

Loaded with module loader when selected caused reboot ?

Arc S
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chiefy009:
Anyone ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
Yup, not compatible - and a I doubt there will be a version for Arc 0.62. The only way to root is to change the kernel, and the new kernel will probably come compiled with everything.

For Arc S again, it won't be available, since I don't want to buy the device (I will think of buying the Xperia S - but I will wait since I believe Sony did many faux-pas with the recent models and I don't want to pay for this careless behavior).

X10 - they waited forever to put out a better Android version.

Arc - case breaking after a month and notification led hidden in the corner where is not visible (unlike cheap Nokias).

Arc S - led still hidden and just marginally better ? New customers know they get an old technology, existing Arc users feel bad since there's something better on the market. Why ?

They should hire me to show them how to win customers and keep them happy :)

So for now, no updates for the modules...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] blake .l:
Keep seeing post stating that .62 firmware cant be rooted all though it my be true but I'm on .62 firmware on both my Arc S's and have root. I had to downgrade to .42 firmware using flash tool then root with super one click 2.2 them update back to .62 and still obtain root.. So could you not update the kernel while in the .42 firmware or would the update to the .62 firmware overwrite the kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
@blake .l

Well, when I posted - root was already attempted with .62 and iridaki posted somewhere else the thing about the kernel and apparently that was the only way back then to get root.

Things could have changed though - I will investigate, I'm still on 0.42. What is your kernel now ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
I have just updated my Arc to the Arc S new firmware LT18_4.1.A.0.562_NCB.ftf and here's the SmartassV2 governor for the stock kernel 2.6.32.9-perf.

Since the firmware is the same of Arc S, I believe the governor will work with both phones.

Use it at your own risk!

I'm sorry could you help me to make this module working on my Xperia Play running Stock Kernel Locked Bootloader .58?

this is the kallsyms.log. thanks before.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ascariz:
make one for the most popular module, intellidemand, intelligent ondemand.. pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
@itazchu - I will get back to you as soon as possible, I was busy this weekend, but will get to it these days.

@ascariz - never knew about intellidemand - will try to find the sources and I will give it a shot. These days everybody is crazy about all sorts of governors - back in the days smartass was the THING, then came smartassV2 and sooo on, now intellidemand :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
Please try this .ko and let me know: cpufreq_smartass2_xplay58.zip

I built it blindly, no Play phone :) if you report it is working, I will update the main post.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark Fable:
Can you please integrate this governor into the stock ICS kernel ? [:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
Hey :)

I'm not really into modifying stock kernels - I prefer to only offer small bits for here and there to make things run smoother ... I don't trust other kernels besides the stock ones, and if I can get something to compile and run against them - I'm happy.

Running the module is very easy with "Module Loader" app combined with "Set CPU" which is set on boot. The only drawback ? Module Loader might run after Set CPU after you reboot, so better if you check to make sure.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark Fable:
Thank you for telling me about the module loader app. [:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] itazchu:
works great on my device n I feel much smoother using this module. thank you so much friend. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
viulian doesn't work on latest official sony lt18 fw 4.1.B.0.431 looks like kernel was updated :) please the update module when you get time to it, thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
Could be :)

Please tell me the output of:

Can you please try this ?

cpufreq_smartass2_4.1.B.0.431.zip

If it is working, I will update the main post ..

Your phone is an Arc right ? (or a Play, I don't remember ....)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] elroysk:
if select smartassV2 in no-frills cpu, the phone is stuck.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
Please execute the command:

cat /proc/kallsyms | grep kallsyms_lookup_name

and paste here the output.

I think the Arc S has a specific firmware now as opposed to Arc, and the value could be different (assuming that tRippinthehead has the Arc version of the firmware).

If it is different than tRippinthehead's output above, I will do a module for Arc S 4.0.4 ICS.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
Guys please redownload the file cpufreq_smartass2_4.1.B.0.431.zip and try it again... I used the first address but I should have used the second one.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] elroysk:
now working :) thx

but mainly use 245 and 1401 frequencies like than ondemand, this is so good?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
Cool - it works, will update first post!

About the frequencies, please DO NOT FORGET to go to SetCPU and drag the min slider to 122 ... It will use 122.

I told in the overclock thread that SetCPU / NoFrills get confused and you always have to go back to SetCPU and adjust sliders. Otherwise they are confused when you overclock.

About which one is better, up to you to decide - generally people report smoother performance with smartassV2 - ondemand is more sluggish.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
Nice viulian! new version works fine :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark Fable:
Can I have a version that I can use with script manager and not module loader ? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viulian:
It is the same :)

On Script Manager you need to create a new script with contents:

insmod /sdcard/cpufreq_smartass2.ko

and mark it to be executed at boot and as super user.

That should do it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] toncata:
I installed it. In No-Frillz i choose smartassV2 but when arc s reboots the governor is gone, i have to installed it again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
That's because you need to set Module Loader / Script Manager to run at boot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] toncata:
How can I set it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] n3n00:
Download module loader from my post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29627681

Install it, find cpufreq_smartass2.ko on your sdcard and load it. In app settings tick "Load on boot". Then choose governor, reboot and you'll still have it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] toncata:
It works. Thanks!

I tried the .431 version on stock .587 but the result was a reboot, so may you can create an updated version for us?

Update: I compiled it to 587 for myself, thanx for your guides and infos! :)

Wow! Nice, thank you :good:

I just flash it in CWM or?

How do I select the smartass2 then? Which one do you use?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adamka13:
It is not a flashable zip ... but How to install the modules ?? :) ++
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gechu:
I think you need to add you modules to /system/lib/modules

and then you can use Module Loader http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1228605

You might need busybox.

Sorry, no clear directions, just hints :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thefirecrow:
I m on arc lt15i do i just need to insmod the governor and/or io schedulers to overclock my arc or do i need to recode it? :noobquestion:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gechu:
"recode" = "recompile"?

If so, I have the same question.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] viewdetails:
gechu

I never thought, that someone going to try to flash the archive from CWM, next time I use rar archiver... :D

Your hints are correct anyway, these should be install as described in the topic earlier.

thefirecrow

For LT15, they need to be recompile.

I've disabled the Google Photo sync option in accounts settings but i still see my google+ albums in the gallery app, is there a way to stop them showing? I thought unchecking that would do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tidbits:
You go into your settings for applications. Then you find the gallery app, and clear the data. Don't worry you won't lose your pictures. When that's done open your gallery app and it should redo everything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cleargrey:
This didn't work for me.

The irony is that I was a couple of days ago I was insulting Apple's Photostream for not being able to delete any images without resetting the whole Photostream.

So I've already turned of syncing Google photos on both of my accounts, and I cleared the data for the Gallery app ... and all my images from Picassa are still there. I turned off Google+ sync just to check (I don't do any instant upload or anything like that anyway) and the images of both my accounts are still present after clearing the data in the Gallery app.

Help. Please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dumb donkey:
Have a read through this bud

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362232

Don't know if you want to go to that extent but it seems like clearing the data from google+ will get rid of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
Your problem is that the picasa pictures are still in the sd card cache folder of the gallery. Delete everything in the cache folder, it's under "/sdcard/android/data/com.android.sec.gallery3d" in honeycomb, it may be somewhere else in ICS.

After that clear data of the gallery again and the picasa folder is gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cleargrey:
A combination of dumb donkey and gokpog.

1. Went to "/sdcard/android/data/com.android.gallery3d" (no .sec in ICS) and deleted everything in the cache.

2. Deleted data in Gallery app.

3. Deleted data in Google+ app.

And then I accidentally hit "Refresh". D'oh!

You actually only need to do numbers 2 and 3 above to get rid off the images. Though I found out (with help) how to do get rid of the unwanted albums, for the average buyer who doesn't come to these forums, it's way too hard. It shouldn't be this way. It's almost as bad as Apple's Photostream!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SS2006:
i noticed even with photosync still off

opening google plus and having instant upload on, returns the albums to the gallery

gahh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LordLugard:
Why not just remove your Google account and add it again? Immediately afterwards, click on Google Sync and uncheck Picasa or photos or whatever.. That's what i always do after adding a Google account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whalemonster:
Gah!

I've tried clearing both the Google+ app cache and Gallery cache, plus deleting the contents of the Google+ app folder in the relevant path on the SD card, and still the albums reappear in Gallery as soon as I run the G+ app again. AAAARGHHH.

Does that mean that deleting the offending albums from the Android Gallery will also delete the Google+ albums? Because that would be irritating, to say the least.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
Clear your gallery, then use Droidwall to blacklist the gallery and any offending processes?

Unfortunately, you may also have to blacklist G+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
I always hated that I just couldn't delete these albums..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterEdF:
It drove me nuts so I just deleted Picassa from my main gmail account and set it up on a secondary gmail account so now it's gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackdub370:
to me it's the same, how I can hide the google + gallery in the gallery? I tried a thousand things and I can`t. help me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TurboD:
I don't wish to hijack the thread, but seems like the best place to ask this question. Is there a way to reset the thumbnails in the Gallery and + app? I changed them online (some were inappropriate to have as thumbnails), but no matter what I seem to clear, the old thumbnails stick. I have cleared the data from both apps, and have even gone as far as even removing the Google account and readding it, and the old thumbnails still return.

[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
My sensation currently has a power drain that I can't seem to find the cause for. I'm using InsertCoin 3.4.2 with bricked kernel 1.5, using SPB shell 3D launcher, got an Anker battery, running tasker to cut data, wifi, gps, etc whenever the screen is off, setCPU running ondemand with max at 1536mhz and minimum 192mhz, etc, etc.

I fully charged my phone to 100% about two or three hours ago, and it's been pretty much left alone since. It's now down to 68%.

I've got BetterBatteryStats and SystemPanel, both showing nothing untoward, no active tasks, no wakelocks from what I can tell, etc. And according to the standard app for battery monitoring, it shows the various connections have indeed been turning off as intended, and the phone has been asleep nigh on all the time it's supposed to be.

Any ideas what's going on, or how I could look into it deeper?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I've just been playing with the phone pretty much non stop since I started this thread an hour ago, and the battery level is now at 60%. So that means it's actually consuming MORE power when it's not even in use!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

There is a lot of talk about battery consumption,and it's causes.

Most people will suggest trying a different kernel,or downclock it to 1.2 GHZ.

:)
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I've tried different kernels already, and underclocking the cpu seems to make little difference. As I say, setCPU should be knocking it down to 192mhz whenever the screen is off anyway!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Is your ROM a 2.3.4 base or 2.3.5 ?

:)
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
2.3.5 mate. It's InsertCoin 3.4.2, with sense 3.5 (which I'm not using in favour of SPB).
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I was going to suggest bricked 0.9.1 with a 2.3.4 ROM,because my son has had great results on his Sensation.

I do not know IC well enough to help.

Sorry.

:)
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
No problem, thanks for your input anyway. :)
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
1)Try his new test version of bricked(beta4).

http://code.google.com/p/bricked/downloads/list

2)Charge to 100

3)Turn off, wait till green, unplug and plugin(bump charging)

4)Boot to recovery thru bootloader and wipe battery stats and then reboot unplugged

Drain you battery to 1, then charge up and repeat for a few days. And you can lower the clockspeed since you're using ondemand, you won't see a speed difference with 1.2 and higher. Oh and use ultra smooth rosie so the home will be faster...And see which apps are open in B/G.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1302914
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
With the exception of trying the beta bricked kernel, I've already done all that when I first got my anker battery. It's not a calibration issue, it's that something is actually draining the battery even when it should be asleep.

And that rosie change isn't needed, as I'm not even using sense in the first place. I've got no real issues with how the phone actually performs as everything is already perfectly smooth. The only slight issue I have is since flashing the amaze camera, on rare occasions it can lock up when exiting it, requiring a battery pull to get going again.
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
Oops missed the part about SPB, I have been having similar issues but with Faux's kernel after using Amaze cam, but I doubt that could cause sleep drain. I think you drain is caused by the phone not entering "Deep Sleep", some rogue app is keeping the phone partially awake and sucking up juice. I'm gonna go on a hunch and say the phone is running around 1.x GHz while screen if off due to the app.
[HTC Sensation] KAwAtA:
Hopefully mine can help you. I also noticed HUGE battery drain issues in the past using Bricked Kernel, so I then reverted to stock. Battery was GREAT, but the stock kernel blows. So yeah, I went back to bricked and using the 3rd? beta right now. My battery started dropping like crazy again, so I thought it was the kernel. Before, I used bricked and it was fine so again, I couldn't really blame the kernel. What I tried after that is deleteing my OC app (I've used both SetCPU and System Tuner) and since then, battery is great again! You can try this and hopefully it'll help!
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Tried that already as I too suspected the OC app a few days ago. Made no improvements to battery life, so I've put it back on today. Not tried a different kernel yet though, as I'd read that the bricked kernel was the best choice with InsertCoin? I used faux123's kernel first of all, but found it ran hot and kept crashing...

Down to 30% now by the way. :(

That's what I'm suspecting too, but I don't know how to go about finding it. I've looked with SystemPanel and BetterBatteryStats and haven't spotted anything, but that could just be because I'm not 100% on what to look for. And why would setCPU not be overriding it and making it clock down to 192mhz whenever the screen is off anyway? Isn't that it's job?
[HTC Sensation] KAwAtA:
Then try the stock and see if it's still draining. When I tried stock and everything was great, I just simply assumed that it wasn't an app. It was the kernel!
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I'm not convinced it's the kernel though, as if it was then battery life would have been crap ever since I flashed it. It hasn't been, it's only been bad for the past few days. Are there any links to the stock kernel just in case I can't find anything else?
[HTC Sensation] Fata7ity:
- mine is 24 hrs

- heavy use 16 hrs

. Used some aninations only

. Turn off wifi when not in use

. Used only 20% brightness

. Used juice defender

. Downclock to 1.2 ghz intellideman

And ofc my kernel and rom that im using right now!

Thank me if I helped :)
[HTC Sensation] Galaxa12:
I use bricked and i actually got better batter out of it but itsn still not up to par.. However fauxs ran faster but my phone was getting up to 47C... Way too hot.. I don't know why mines running so hot.. Using coredroid 2.6. 1.5 bricked kernel. wiped dalv and cache and battery stats... blah.. any input? i had setcpu and deleted it.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
SetCPU is uninstalled again now to see if it was causing anything, and there's still a drain on the battery when it should be sleeping. Does anyone have any tips on how to find what's keeping it awake? It's been fully charged again, been unplugged for just one hour and it's down to 80% battery. Not even been using it apart from me flashing the InsertCoin Bravia addition onto it, making it 3.4.3.

One thing I have noticed though, is that BetterBatteryStats says the RILJ dialler has been running for 5m 33s since it was last charged, 775 times, 8.9%. This is on the partial wakelocks screen, whatever they are. Everything else listed is under 1%, with the only exception being the alarm at 1.6%. What does this mean?
