right now I'm testing vurrut/joode 4.6.

==========================================

@ anyone running 100% stock kpq with any of the v9 test kernels, can you test some games for me? I didn't have this issue on v5t6 or any other version of any kernel so far, and I'd like to narrow it down to a kernel or rom issue.

since I saw at least one other person say that angry birds won't work above 1 GHz, I wasn't too surprised when my phone rebooted after playing angry birds on 2009 @ 1.25 GHz. however, it only happens in a very specific action occurs, namely trying to activate the lockscreen while playing. this also happens with other games I have that are CPU demanding, and doesn't happen with anything that's not demanding. it happens when I set the max cpu to 1.25, and also when I set it to 1.0.

my settings:

interactivex

vr

300 min and 1.0/1.25 max for all apps listed

my test:

1) play the game and press the power button to activate the lockscreen

2) play the game, then press the home button and wait for the desktop to appear before activating the lockscreen

games that always work (both 1 and 2 without random restart):

bubble blast

cut the rope

abduction2

sliding blocks

bubble birds

games that fail test 1 and pass test 2:

ace's jewel hunt

all angry birds games

zombie defense

as mentioned, the first group is less demanding on the cpu, and the second group all push my cpu demand close to 100%, regardless of max cpu setting.

I have not had any game or app fail both tests.

once again, can anyone running 100% stock kpq with any v9 test kernel run both tests on any game listed above in the second group and post their results?

@Doomlord, I believe this falls under test reporting, but since I'm not on 100% stock testing this, I have to ask for help narrowing it down to see if it's related to the cpu/voltage settings or the rom I'm running. I'm not free at this time to flash back to stock, or I'd do that part of the testing as well. thanks for your understanding.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
I'm using V9 #1009 kernel(1.2Ghz)

test all 3 angry birds, press power button to activate lockscreen while playing game.

All three turns out fine, it did lock the screen and I can simply wake it up, unlock it and continue playing. No problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
Try a different CPU governor...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] robyguerrini:
Whit Xenoxmod rom 3.0 and kernel v9 3009 at 1.3 ghz no problem..... much stable and fast!!!:p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] skchattha:
pls test thoroughly each and every application including whatever mentioned here, it would not be much stable :D

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

@DoomLord /All, humble request to you :)

As seen issues 1.3 Ghz lot of poeple reported, i would suggest first we should get completely stable on 1.3 GHz similar to 1.2 Ghz before jumping next to 1.4 Ghz.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivAnash:
Been using v9 1.3Ghz for 2days now.. Unfortunately my device reboots 5 minutes into any game..

The first time it booted my screen was distorted but that was fixed after a reboot.. The kernel seems to be stable under normal usage but reboots everytime I start playing.. Tried all governor COMBINATIONS, flashed it 3 times over fresh XXKPQ, but in vain..

Not too many seem to be facing this issue, so wonder what it is.. My chip or something else.. Hope it is fixed..

XXKPQ, SMARTASSV2, BQF
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kacongx:
Nice work Doomlord..

I have use UCK v9 #3009 on stock DXKP9 for 2 days n its work fine n very smooth with Gov lionheart n i/o deadline. Antutu Bench @ 3046 ~ 3189.

All game become more smooth n fast n also work fine for me for all app but there is one issue.. When 1st flash it, it's become 1Ghz not 1,3Ghz and also when use force reboot its happen too but its minor issue I think n become normal after use no-frill.

Thanks..

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kikejulia:
I don't know it this should be here...

With XXKPQ and UC kernel v9 2009 I had a problem converting to ext4 using amit.bagaria CF-Root-ext4-v1.3-Addon.apk. This apk is supposed to convert to ext4, but when installed and run the apk, the conversion fails. So the workaround that I found is the following:

- I run the ext4 apk. The apk makes the phone reboot into recovery, does something very fast (I cannot see what it is) and reboots again in normal mode. The conversion to ext4 is not made.

- However, during that process, a file named tmp_ext4_tools.zip is created in the internal sd card. I copied this file to the external sd card with Es File explorer.

- Once copied, I rebooted the phone into recovery again. I chose install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> I searched for the external_sd and chose the tmp_ext4_tools.zip file.

- Once accepted, the file does automatically the process of backup, conversion to ext4, and restore of /system, /dbdata, /data and /cache. So when you reboot the phone into normal mode, everything should be ext4.

Hope this helps anyone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
thats what is going on...

also we cant expect all devices to be stable at speeds > 1.0 GHz

its not a BUG...

its a FEATURE to help users whose devices cant handle high frequencies...

we are using older CF-ROOT ramdisk which may not support that...

newest CF-ROOT ramdisk will be integrated from next release...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kacongx:
Thanks DoomLord.. Waiting for next..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] amit864:
Due to old ram-disk, the below error is shown. I flashed v8 first and apply ext4. Then flash v9.

Didn't read the reply from doomlord before regarding old ramdisk. Hence this post. Apologies.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] prince_venom:
I Already gave my Feedback Abt V9 3009 Two Days Ago, bt im again Here to to give Feedback Abt Stability

-> SmartAssv2 Gov,SetCpu Apk, Min:300 Max:1300

-> Its Been 2 Days to use this Kernel and i used my Phone Normally as Always.

-> I didnt Experienced Any Abnormal Thing on My Device Till then.

-> No Restart , NO FC , NO Freeze, NO SOD , No Heat , Everything is Normal as Always.

-> I Tried All That Apps & Games abt Which Peoples Reported Prob. Here And It Runs Well.

So I Think My Device or Slice of Pizza is Ready For 1.4 GHZ :cool::cool::cool:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
@ those that helped test other games, thanks :D

@ Doomlord, all governors failed the same way. since I had more time today in front of my computer, I was able to flash v5t6 (the one I used first that worked perfectly), and still faced the same issue, which proved it likely to be the ROM. I then flashed an old backup of fresh kpq with everything except any rom or theme installed, and flashed 2009 and it worked fine. if you want, I'll delete my other post, and thanks again for your understanding.

now to go report the bug to the appropriate dev... :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pabreu:
Ext4 conversion app worked well for me on v9, even though the same message, as in ur screenshot, was shown to me also
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
i had this issue ! all u have to do is flash the kernel again and it works :) thanks f i helped :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
good to hear that...

as i said before...

we have tested things to work on a CLEAN stock ROM, and want reports from users on CLEAN stock ROMs so that we know everyone is on the same level/setup when reporting these issues... most of the times some mods/"tweaks" cause this sort of instability... thats why custom ROM/MODs are not supported as they introduce more complications and makes it difficult to pinpoint the issues/problems...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] amit864:
I am facing hang-ups at 1300mhz (3009 test). I also flashed a clean KPQ and tried vurrut v5 kernel, here the 1300mhz is not rebooting. I am back to 1009, which works the best.

I know that 3009 is stable for others, but just wanted to know if there is a voltage difference between vurrut kernel and UC kernel when clocked at 1300mhz bin? Any Idea how that can be found would? I can then check and report.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AdrenalineX:
am on stock DDKP2, no ext4, no tweaks enabled

playing with all 3 versions of UC9, my phone accepts and handles 1.3ghz well

now on 3009, Antutu scores 3100, battery drains as expected

no reboots or hanging..handles videos well, no games tested

pretty fast and stable so far
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
facing problem in stock XXKPQ + deodexed + ext4 partition + UC V7, v8, v9..

i have a random WIFI network problem that my phone cant connect to some of my wifi area.. :(

flash back to v6.. :)

thanks sir doom!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] amit864:
please do a clean install with pit->kpe->kpq->ucv9(1009)->(format internal sd card)->ext4->deodex->{any other mod...}

It is working for everyone here.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ooikaisheng529:
Done a clean install:xxkpe>xxkpq>v9 3009>ext4>deodex

using setcpu, i change the governor to performance(to test the 1.3ghz)and the phone run it greatly and no reboots, but if i open some cpu intensive games such as riptide gp, it would run for about 30 seconds and it would hang

Now,i'm back to cm9
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
is there a need for ext4?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
It's a good speed upgrade from the stock rfs. A sort of "lagfix". Not really necessary though.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] RonnYap:
Just a solution..try settings>display>screen timeout>tick 10minutes n try ...I think it would not hang..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ooikaisheng529:
good,now it hangs after opening the game for 8 sec:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] RonnYap:
I think related scripts..at system/etc/init.d/just try move all scripts to external(backup) except 00tweak then clear cache ...reboot againn..

if still happen then i don know what to do..:D

I PM to my user to do like this..

Some user use this method and say stable..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DanteDMC:
Did you try wifi?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AdrenalineX:

tnx for info

i'm testing the 2009 version

for now, it's works, after i will do a stress test and linpack to check the stability

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

ok for me and for now

uc v9 2009 1,25ghz

run stable

deep sleep works

25 min under stress test passed

antutu 2600 pti

quadrant 3150 pti

linpack 19+ mflops

wifi works

my opinion, i think that the GPU oc doesn't works realy, there are no difference between v4 and this, after +50% of oc there isn't a realy performance improvements

anyway no problems for now, i will do other test
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
V09 #3009 instable for me.

Though, Vurrut Kernel v05 with OC upto 1300MHz stable for me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I too would like to find out as to why 1300 seems stable on vurrut, but then I wonder what was added to the v9 1300, or was it just pure OC?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Maybe the voltage is higher on vurrut kernel?

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
Just an ideal, maybe under volt all the bin opp?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] inciongd:
If this is the case, then Doom just need to release a bit higher voltage increment for 3009 to work on other phones. Maybe:

3009 = 1.30 GHz - 1450mV

3109 = 1.30 GHz - 1455mV

3209 = 1.30 GHz - 1460mV

But, voltage is very dangerous to work with.. a few seconds of too high a voltage and a phone might no longer work because of physical chip damage/burn.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Exactly. It will also shorten battery life. Too low will cause freezes. But chips don't burnt at one shot, it takes a lot of time right?:confused:

Sent from my GT-i9003 powered by MIUI:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
different voltages...

it seems Vurrut doesnt bother updating his github repo/sharing the voltage settings... so we dont know which voltages are used on that kernel...

anyways tweaking voltages is not an issue ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Nikscas:
kernel vurrut voltages are as xda-bam up to 1200.

1300 I do not know.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vurrut:
Well, the problem is that github (gitignore) gives me many problems and I have no time to get to work.

voltages:

1300: 145000 142500 stock and uv (Problems)

1350: 145000-147000 (middle - stable)

1370: 146000-150000 (max) (middle-stable)

> 1370: slows down and does not work

a greeting
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
@doom/napstar maybe you guys can release a version with higher voltage and one without higher voltage. So the ones who don't get freezes currently can having less battery consumption? Does it work that way? Less voltage=less battery consumption?

Sent from my GT-i9003 powered by MIUI:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] DooMLoRD:
thanks... Napstar will do further testing as device is now with him...

no... we cant keep creating sub-versions like this...

lower voltage will give less battery consumption...

but it depends from device to device... we will try to get best settings which should work on most devices...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] robyguerrini:
I can not understand why despite the phone is fast and stable, and Antutu Quadrant scores with very high but with much higher scores Neocore did with my old LG Optimus one ....

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
not just that they are in favor or such gpus ! its cus of the resolution ! galaxy sl is 480x800 while ur optimus one has 320 x 480 screen ! now u cant expect to run crysis2 on a low end graphics card with with 1080p res with 60 fps now can u ? but it will run at 640x480 :P all m saying is ! more the resolution < the fps (if the gpus is not powerful enough)

For PCs, no. I once messed up an old Phenom (the first one) by just playing around with the BIOS.

I'm getting error while making Nandroid Backup.

Almost after /system is done

Error while saving backup image of /system! [Or something like that]

I'm on Vurrut Ker v5 [1300]

Was getting this error also on UC Kernel v08 and v09 #2009

Any solution?

Edit -

Oh, yea, I forgot to mention, I got over 2gb free space [2205mb to be precise].

I tried to backup everything except /system and its coming to ~600mb only. So it shouldn't be storage issue.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
I think there may be a problem with you partition sizes or something like that (happened to me when I was converting to ext4 using the .apk by Chainfire to do so on UCv8-OC-fix).

It worked on the second attempt, after clearing my Dalvik cache, cache, booting into the ROM (to rebuild the caches) and booting back to recovery to do a backup. Give it a shot and see if it works for you.

It seems to be a common problem if you want to take a nandroid backup after switching out kernels with clearing caches atleast once. Not too sure whether this is the root of the problem though!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
I didn't understand what you said about partition sizes and stuff.

I had cleared cache, dalvik cache everytime while switching kernels.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
I'm just stabbing in the dark... did you try to backup after?

Or just clear the caches and then directly take a backup and see if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supertommy82:
my test

i tested the 1009 and 2009 version and only the 1009 works ok

the 2009 boots correctly but it hangs up when i put on WIFI i see on screen strange glicthes, i was forced to remove battery and restart

anyway 1009 is stable for me

2009 is not (and i didnt tested for more than 4 minutes because of the wifi problem and various hang up)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Yea tried. Ain't working.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
Recently just start thinking of a feature...

Is android support some kind of process priority?

Does it has anything to do with the kernel?

I found that if I am playing games or the phone is idle(screen off for some time), when calls come in, sometimes the screen doesn't on/show the calls immediately but stuck for a few seconds before it run well.

The ringtone is ok.

How is battery life for everyone? For me, with kernel 9, battery does not even last a day with mild usage. Have removed set cpu and only using conservative governor and 1ghz.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
for me, 7 hrs consumes 1% at night. Click my signature for details.

pretty good. normal use with screen off, 1% will last 1 hr. oc to 1.3GHz with Juice defender and many other background apps like alarm clock xtreme, business calendar, android weather and few battery monitoring software etc. Auto sync ON 24/7.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
That's unbelievable!! I have auto-sync off but and max. CPU set to 1GHz but battery no lasting for day even. Even at night it is too much. Do you use Set-CPU profiles? I see that you are using Scary governor and bfq scheduler. Are these better than SmartassV2 and SiO combination? Do you use juice defender free or paid? What are your settings for Juice Defender, Set-CPU profiles and any other settings which may help in increasing battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pabreu:
My recommendations :

1. Do not use juice defender

Instead use apps like os monitor, better battery stats, system panel.

Just open os monitor and stop unwanted processes. Open better battery stats n check for wavelocks. Doomlord had linked to one excellent guide on betterbatterystats app a few pages back. Read it.

Use super dim app to control your brightness.

Turn off your 2g data connection from 14toggles menu. Don't know if that will help much in battery savings.

N don't keep "screen off" profile in setcpu. Current governor should go to lowest freq on its own. Maybe doomlord can confirm this point.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
When its in in standby mode(screen off) the CPU goes into deep sleep therefore saving more battery.

Sent from my GT-i9003 powered by MIUI:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] amit864:
I keep my screen off settings to min cpu. No other saving methods. Battery always lasts more than 30 hours, In spite of my corp mail taking up a lot of battery (download upto 50kb messages). I do turn off data at night (so that I am not disturbed by emails during night). Below screenshot says 45% battery after 21 hours of usage.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pabreu:
Regarding screenoff profile, no matter which governor you use, the phone should enter deep sleep after certain amount of time. So I really don't understand the concept of screen off profiles. One thing I assume is the some governors will go to lower frequencies quicker than others. But I doubt it helps in battery savings. When I had used setcpu profiles, my battery life was affected slightly.

And regarding your snap, the slope looks much steeper. The phone is awake for a lot of time, intentionally I guess. The betterbatterystats app should help you. Go a few pages back. You'll find the link.

I'll be able to give the link when I get home

Edit : when you are using performance based governors, using conservative based governors for screen-off should be helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
I demand good battery life so I have tried many ways to ensure my battery life is optimised.

I have tried several governors and schedulers. Some cannot go into deep sleep. Smartass v2 is good for benchmarking but is quite unstable, imo. You can see that overclocking does not mean more battery consumption too.

I used juice defender paid and it has a 2g, 3g, 4g auto switch option hence it determines gprs or hsdpa access. As you can see, JD does not interfere with deep sleep as it shuts down during deep sleep.

I have few battery monitoring programs running concurrently and I activate no fanciful widgets. They are really good in determining which apps are the battery suckers.

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

I used JD and proved that it will not interfere with deep sleep. JD has the auto switch toggle between 2g, 3g and 4g. It is particularly useful for those who always forgot to switch off data connection like I used to.

btw, I install no games and phone is purely for business communication purposes.

not related to kernel... kindly keep this thread clean for posting kernel related bugs/issues only...

not at all... u can keep changing governors/schedulers on the fly...
