Yes! It's a great idea, this afternoon I'll finish the test using lower frequencies to see how much it affects to battery life, then I'll go with the governors (will try lazy first), before testing the milestone and new nightly..

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

distINCtINC I've been thinking about this and I feel it'll be difficult to test the governors with the stress test, because it pushes the device all the time to the limit and changes the frequencies at a specified time because the demand is always high.. Maybe we'll have to think in another way of testing the governors.. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpaine88:
So far the 192mhz slot is working great for me. I am using Lazy but even on Interactive it spent plenty of time in the 192mhz slot.

Gonna run it all day then post up a CPU Spy screenshot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -viperboy-:
You will see those options under ondemand or hotplug governor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpaine88:
For milestone 3,is 300mhz or 700mhz recommended as a minimum?

After a full working days usage, I'm going bed.

Nightly 151, 192mhz-1228mhz, ondemand (sampling_rate 50000, up_threshold 98), hotplug, SR and UV'ed

CPU usage breakdown ( 1228Mhz 5%, 384Mhz 4%, 192Mhz 22%, Deep Sleep 65%)

14h 24m

3h 4m screen time

33% left

Not the most scientific test but all 3 kernels were used under very similar conditions. Going to work listening to music and reading on 3G and coming home switching to wi-fi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SrTapir:
Previous Results from #r133

I'm installing every kernel after a cache-dalvik clear.

#M3

These are the results for the Milestone 3. I'll make also raw CPU stress test later in order to check the differences between high-low frequencies.

This test has been important to check batt differences between GPU OC and GPU Stock.

Comparative

* Between #r133 (512 Mhz). No UV. (Previous one) and M3 (Milestone)

- M3 gave 6 more minutes of screen time its a more or less 2% more.

- They give the same values in quadrant edition.

- M3 gives 300 more points in Antutu.

Overall Conclusions

After testing 2 versions for now I've extract those conclusions.

- There's no real difference in Undervolting de Gnex, SmartFlex makes and incredibly job.

- The GPU Overclock does not bring a big difference in batt consumption.

Note: After this testing, tomorrow I'll try to check the real difference between the use of higher frequencies against limiting them to lower values, trying first a config of 384-1036 and later another of 384-1344.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luuthian:
So after all this testing does this mean that if I turn my brightness all the way down, turn on airplane mode, and boot up a game on M3, my phone will last about 2 1/2 hours before the battery dies?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpaine88:
SirTapir, thanks so much for what you're doing dude. Keep it uP!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Franco,

Are you doing support the for franco app? I have a consistent problem when it's installed and given root permission. If I swipe across the screens it will FC on the screen that shows hotplug and the rest of the options. Doesn't matter what ROM I am on either. After it crashes once, then it's fine however sometimes it also crashes sometimes when I apply a ROM. I am thinking too, when it applies the kernel it should not force reboot the device. It should prompt me to continue. One way choice, but I still get to say Yes either way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -viperboy-:
It happens to me too. It looks like the log is complaining about colorcontrol when it FCs.

On the app support note, I would love an option to make voltages apply on boot since I have mine dialed in. Maybe just make a flashable .zip that removes the settings or the whole app if you get stuck in a bootloop?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
I have to say, all of this ignorance towards SirTapir and his testing really shows the depths to which XDA has sunk. I've been here since the WinMo days (old username c2004), and over the past couple of years with the growth of Android and the influx of users that has brought, there has been a marked culture shift. It seems users are here just to demand ROMs, kernels and complain when they are not spoon fed the information they require. Rather than encourage and support someone's genuine effort to help the community, people are questioning his motives and questioning the validity of his results.

If you think his testing is flawed, then produce your own test and share the results before shooting him down or making wise comments. How many thousands of posts do you think there are in this thread asking, what are best UV settings for battery life? What is best GPU for battery life/performance? Someone is making an effort to find out and spoon up the information for you to swallow.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Regards.

@Franco,

One things i notices from M3 and Nightly 151, even though that both consumed about the same amount of battery %, but if check with CPU Spy, i noticed that with Nightly 151, most of the time it was at "192Mhz" rather than "Deep Sleep"

Hope this pieces of info helps. I will try to collects the log for your reference once i flash back nightly 151 again.

Current Setup:

AOKP M5, Franco Kernel M3, All settings Defaulted!

hahahaha... why do bother what people gonna say. Any single pieces of info / test case could help out the developer to delivered a better version release.

---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 AM ----------

M3 release using stock GPU, 304 or 308 cant remember, this explain that's why u get ~20 fps for the M3.

Try Nightly 151 - GPU384, you should get ~28 fps

Try nightly 151 - GPU512, you should get ~31 fps

about your ~59fps, perhaps you are testing with your PC? o.0

How are those changes you made on the governor affect your phone? Is it for more battery life or did you do that to get the most performance out of the governor?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
Anyone ever use Faux's kernel? I was reading up on governors and was wondering if we could get Intellidemand as an option put in the nightlies: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1369817

Intellidemand:

Intellidemand aka Intelligent Ondemand from Faux is yet another governor that's based on ondemand. Unlike what some users believe, this governor is not the replacement for OC Daemon (Having different governors for sleep and awake). The original intellidemand behaves differently according to GPU usage. When GPU is really busy (gaming, maps, benchmarking, etc) intellidemand behaves like ondemand. When GPU is 'idling' (or moderately busy), intellidemand limits max frequency to a step depending on frequencies available in your device/kernel for saving battery. This is called browsing mode. We can see some 'traces' of interactive governor here. Frequency scale-up decision is made based on idling time of CPU. Lower idling time (<20%) causes CPU to scale-up from current frequency. Frequency scale-down happens at steps=5% of max frequency. (This parameter is tunable only in conservative, among the popular governors )

To sum up, this is an intelligent ondemand that enters browsing mode to limit max frequency when GPU is idling, and (exits browsing mode) behaves like ondemand when GPU is busy; to deliver performance for gaming and such. Intellidemand does not jump to highest frequency when screen is off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:
I tried it with Franco's a while back. Didn't work well at all. Ignored set min/max and spent way to much time at high freqs. Browsing mode didn't seem to work. Seemed to think I was always gaming.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nklenchik:
I can't seem to find the right governor to be honest. It's always been Interactive for me, but I'm trying my hand with Lazy at the moment while listening to music. Not too shabby so far
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Nexus Project:
Interactive provides the 2nd most battery drain next to performance. Hot plug & on demand are best for normal use

I am back to Factory Image "takju" for Galaxy Nexus. To much staff for my taste in custom roms this days. Now I have a totally beginner question.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
So is anyone noticing advantages from using 192 min

90% of the time my phone spend on that frequency. Less voltage and less power when is not needed mast be better in my opinion.

Not necessary, because is a test with the CPU and GPU stressed all the time with a continuous change of freqs (in a game you'll be most of time at the top speed), but yes, batt life will be near to this 2 hours and a half in that conditions you described.

been on 151 for almost 24 hours and I really like it. I was a big fan of the 700min freq but figured I'd give the 192mhz a shot... it spends a lot of time there and I don't seem to get race to idle so you must have done something right :) This is the first time I've had 1% per hour battery drain overnight... I usually get 3% per hour because of my stupid email running. I have generic hotplug enabled also... no SoD either. I'm a happy camper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolzjai:
Hard to judge from which kernel to best suite with which ROM, you have to self explore for it.

the 2nd Tab was IMOSEYON kernel, which is the prebuild kernel for LiquidRom Last time before franco join their team.

Ppl here mostly used Franco.Kernel, You may choose to install stable version, which is M3, or nightly build 151, where u need to keep an eyes on it for the update from time to time.

Personally advice go for franco kernel. And that is why you brought his app right? :D

Previous Results from #M3

Previous Results from #r133

I'm installing every kernel after a cache-dalvik clear.

#M3 CPU Frequencies Comparison

This is a raw CPU stress test in order to check the differences in batt impact between high and low frequencies.

Range 384Mhz - 1344 Mhz

Range 384Mhz - 1063 Mhz

Kernel Versions Comparative

- #r133: 2h. 26 min.

- #M3: 2h. 31 min.

Present Test Conclusions

After testing the 2 sets of freqs, I've extracted those conclusions.

- There's a real batt. impact between high and low freqs (obvious).

- The 7% difference in batt life is tricky because the 1344Mhz freq has not been extendedly used in comparison with the lower ones, as 384Mhz.

- In real life the extensive use of high freqs may give a big difference in batt life.

Overall Conclusions

- There's no real difference in Undervolting de Gnex, SmartFlex makes an incredibly job.

- The GPU Overclock does not bring a big difference in batt consumption.

- Undervolt do not guarantee lower device temperatures.

- The extensive use of high frequencies has a real impact in batt. life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metallice:
Technically yes, but you have to consider "race to idle". Although lower frequency usage will have battery battery life than high frequencies with more C4 state / deep idle, the difference isn't as pronounced as common sense would suggest. That's why Ezekeel's Wheatley governor runs like Performance during tasks with low interactivity like reading (according to ezekeel C4 idle can occur even with screen on, at least on his kernel) and like on demand while gaming. Battery drain isn't that bad and you get the performance benefits of running at max frequency.

In most scenarios, yes Lazy/OnDemand will give you the best battery life - even when compared to conservative (According to testing done with the nexus S). However interactive really isn't too much worse because of the race to idle. If you are turning your device on and off a lot, interactive might actually give you better battery life.

That said, Lazy is my governor of choice :)
