benchmarks aside, my phone has never been this smooth. transitions are pretty much always choppy no matter what rom/kernel im on. its not the case so far on 005.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vibey101:
This kernel is exactly what i was hoping for it to be. On all the other kernels I've tried there was always some kind of lag when opening apps or doing other things. Not this kernel. It is really smooth.

Oh, I don't know about on-screen time, how do I go about calculating that? It's just an arbitrary bar in the battery usage page.

384 is also the clock speed when you have screen off and are listening to music or charging. It won't deep sleep for music.

I get really high kernel wakelocks from "sec-battery-adc" that prevents the phone from deep sleeping; about 5 minutes every hour. Tried all 006-007 versions of faux kernel. Not sure if anyone here has the same problem? I use BetterBatteryStats 1.5.1 here to see kernel wakelocks. Bullet is the only kernel for this phone that doesn't have this issue. Any help?

I'm getting some pretty decent battery life. Phone is not used a bunch. But definitely used a lot. Screen brightness 100% lots of texts some phone calls, some browsing, and listened to music with player pro off and on.....**** if this was my g2x it would have been dead just sitting there by lunch today. So this phone is great. Definitely one of the best battery life in a phone....awesome
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
yeah, basically, it was saying that it does not improve battery life or anything of that nature.

But I was just trying to clarify my own mistake because i compared 2 different battery usages with 2 different roms, however, i realized that I was using a different device (same battery though) and with a nandroid restore. This would create a incorrect reading of your battery, that's why sometimes when you reboot, reset your battery stats, or pull your battery, your battery life jumps up or down.

TL;DR: wiping batterystats does not improve battery life, but it provides more accurate reading after a flash or restore.

BTW faux + dewizzed + gideonx script is amazing, you guys should check it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nismo13:
Using Gideon's latest battery script with faux. But does this have a screen off profile, can I use an app like setcpu to toggle screen off profiles or do I not need it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
I believe gideon set it up so that the phone goes into deep sleep during screen off. You don't want any 3rd party apps if using gideon's script because it overrides his script. Correct me if im wrong, but i think that's right.

tip: I noticed the script runs really smooth with jug, but with dewiz you want to up the clock a bit over 1ghz to run smooth.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Nice work :-) The only thing I notice is that your screen was hardly on. The biggest drain is our screen sadly. My on time is always around 60 percent or so. Ive tried every kernel and every clock stepping and can hardly break 10hrs. If I turn the the screen off I lose about 2 percent per hr with those voltages set though vs 3 percent otherwise. Still, nice testing ! :-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
i think you're misreading the battery usage. The percentage represents the percent of usage of the battery use not the amount of time your display is on.

For example:

Phone has 20% left meaning 80% usage. and your display shows 50%, that means 40% of your usage is drained because of your display.

if you want accurate display on time, you can click on display and it has the time on count.

THis is the best kernal ive ever had

GREAT super great performance . .

just stay away from using 4g . .

I alwayse have the wifi on . . ONLY off when in the car . . SO i dont need the 4g actually that much . .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
I was calculating its "on time " vs overall on time. For example, if my device is at 0 percent and had an online time of 10 hours, my "screen on" would be about 6hrs of the ten hours total on time. I keep brightness on max. It was noted elsewhere that the battery is best tested during its deep sleep state to compare kernels / voltage effects. Generally it appears that there is only approximately a 2-3 percent per hour difference regardless the configuration. Its your screen usage / data connection that makes the largest difference. Luckily I stay plugged in at work / home :-P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jay661972:

the only thing i notice and no biggie is the "swipe screen to unlock". stock dont have that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] apicia:
Anyone else have a problem with 4G data making your phone an OVEN (I mean really hot)? If I use an app or game that keeps a 4G connection, the phone heats up really bad. Then it eventually drops the data connection or times out. If I use Wifi, then the phone barely heats up on a steady data connection and never drops.

I know 4G uses more power than 3G, but my Vibrant never got that hot and lost data connection...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shinew:
thank you!

thank you for the great kernel! It's not the kind of difference I could show to others right away but I definitely feel the difference while using it. the phone does smoother and seem more responsive on your kernel!

as for 0.0.9 battery drain, I've also noticed initial high drain(80-90mAh on idle), but once it has settled for an hour or so, the idle becomes "normal" again for me(~20 mAh).

I do experience inconsistent charging rate though and wonder if it's kernel version related:

among 5 times I've charged the phone #2 & #3 were charged at 40%/hour, the rests were at 20%/hour

what's others' charging rate? I think i was using the 7b4 when I was getting 40%/hour charging rate. I've also ruled that it's not charger related, I use both apple's 2Ah charger and Samsung's stock one. The ROM I use is debloated stock.

OG Faux pwnage > Synergizzle fail master

Just some thoughts....

Some people think synergy is better than faux. I suppose if you nitpick features and demand bootanimation support and more governors than you can handle, it ultimately ends up being whichever you perfer, but in overall quality some still think it's the best. I'm here to tell you it's not. Synergy comes undervolted and it has alot of governors... it's okay if you're looking for decent battery life and something other than stock... but deep down inside we know we deserve more. This is where faux shines, it's got the smoothest UI experience available, and with controller undervolting it's even more efficient than the synergy kernel. Bootanimation support would be nice and I have a feeling faux will get it eventually but it's no reason to turn to synergy. I have my phone loaded to the brim with apps and widgets and synergy just turns it to ****. It's hard to notice in the video but the amount of micro lag is astounding. Even if transitions are played in time (like full speed) there will still be a number of frame drops.... it looks like a ghosting effect sort of.... What I mean to say is it doesn't stutter as much as it looks like it's just running in a slower framerate. However scrolling lag is a joke with synergy, constantly skipping.... pack it up synergy, ur done for. The literal differences between the two kernels aren't astronomical but the results are quite obvious and when it comes down to it what we look for, or the purpose per-se, in a kernel is speed and battery savings. This is what faux does best. With a properly undervolted setup faux blows everything else away. I get zero frame lag, scrolling lag, lag of any kind, gone on faux.

This being said I theorized that faux was so well put together it would outperform synergy even at a much lower clock. No one believed me. I've done the demonstration in person, showing faux at 800mhz and synergy at 1.7ghz... people still say faux looks smoother. And they're right! lol anyways I made some videos... it's hard to see microlag recorded, I know, but it's definitely there in the synergy video... like I said the eye catches it sort of like a ghosting effect and the camera kind of picks it up. You can definitely see some of what I'm talking about.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] armyofbear136:
It's argumentative... it's meant to compare the two ROMs critically and with reliable evidence to prove my point. I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything it's just a matter of data. Like I said the pros and cons will ultimately be what anyone prefers, if you don't have performance problems on synergy and you really like bootanimations that's fine or even if you don't mind the slight lag if you have any. But when it comes down to it i say Faux is smoother and more efficient and you are welcome to believe it or not :D see what I mean?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Armyofbear135,

I have used and tested both to all extents. I find synergy to be more stable personally. Even though Faux seems faster at first, after a few days it stutters horribly. I run irc, messengers, rdp sessions, and much more all at once. If I run synergy set to performance @1.86, I see NO stutter on my phone and I can run it for a week without any hiccups or slow downs. It bences higher ( not that it means anulything ) and even at 1.86, the battery life is astounding. I think each device may handle each kernel differently, so for you to publicly bash one, is distasteful and negative towards this community.

PS

TdJ's kernel is almost ready, and its a beast ;-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mettleh3d:

I just experience 2 issues(might be related) and wonder if it got anything to do with the kernel. I just did a 45min long skype video call using 4G connection while walking around the street, the 1st issue is that in the middle the conversation the phone froze when I walked into a store(black screen), and after 10-20 seconds it restarted itself(though i did not see the boot animation, only the lock screen then saw it looking for signal and scanning SD Card, etc...). Not really if this is a result of some bugs in skype or something else...

The 2nd issue is that after my skype video call, I tried to place some regular phone calls. However, while it seemed to have connected as usual, I could not hear the other side's sound, I tried the earpiece, headset and hands-free with couple of number, all identical problem. I then restarted the phone and all the problem went away.

Is there a log file of the sort where I could check or send and try to narrow down where the problem was? I'm using odexed stock ROM, debloated with 0.0.9u kernel. thank you!
