This is great!!! Tks for the votes! Let's help our devs with DATA and we help them help us!

BTW, I am using LULZACTIVEV2 - SIO combo as well!

Lazy smartass
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] provolinoo:
I'd like to use lulzactive v2 but it has too many options to configure and I like it simple so I switched to smartass v2 + sio
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
This is my favorite configuration as well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y3mita:
lulzactivev2 is up.... yep it has more options, therefore better to test for more battery savings!

I read good things about new governor eugene373 implemented in his kernel called *scary*.... might try this one later when done testing steve.garon's kernel and lulzactive gov.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braneless:
Interactive is the best for me. I recall a kernel/rom dev stating that he uses solely interactive as well.

I've been on math kids kernels since 5.0 on ginger bread cfs and smart ass v2 btw. I've tried lag free but it makes my music player stutter when the screen is off. My phone likes speedy kernels too so I switch back and forth

Good ol' ondemand for me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RushAOZ:
Ondemand here.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickbosch:
Lulzactive V2 (I REALLY wish it had a better name!) with SIO. Works best with Matr1x, SG-NS-ICS and ICUP on my NS.

Edit: I think I got a little hasty answering this, Ondemand, by far the one I've used most, considering I used to run Oxygen on my Desire and Thalamus' kernels are phenomenal. So Ondemand for me too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jandantes:
Ondemand for me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y3mita:
Ondemand and lulzactivev2 winning the race!

I can confirm sio-lulzactive work nicely with Steve.Garon, eugene373, mathkid95. I had more success with Matr1x kernel with this combo my battery last me 30+ hours of heavy use!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y3mita:
Just did a fresh install of latest Peter Alfonso's ROM and speedy 5 kernel.... I'm testing the scary governor along with noop IO scheduler... so far so good!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RushAOZ:
I take it back!! Just tried lulzactive without even changing any settings and my home screen mini stutters all went away!! PWNAGE!! Running mathkids latest with scheduler set to cfq and CPU ocd to 1.3 ghz. On cm9 v1 :)

Cm9 caused lag and stutter for me on all ics roms even cm9 itself. Lulzactive has demolished this stutter. What a god send. Cm9 music is amazing and if you don't care about Google music, its the best music player I've tried.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RushAOZ:
Ill also add that I'm even tethering while playing music, browsers, Facebook and g+ are up and the launcher is smooth as butter. I'm on Nova launcher beta 12 btw.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y3mita:
Thanks much for your feedback! I see lulzactive being the next 'must use governor' in all kernels!! Now I guess the game begins trying this governor with all IO schedulers available to find the perfect matrimony ( I only tested lulzactive-sio combo and they rocked! )

For now, I'm on speedy 5 testing *scary governor* with noop scheduler... not bad but a little laggy.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroEchelon:
Scary which is a cross between the beloved Smartass + Conservative governors is has the best battery life IMHO.

Scary does a really great job at staying at the lower frequencies while keeping my phone responsive.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaXAiRO:
Settings for Lulzactive?

I'm using SmartassV2 and sio scheduler with no problems but as I see most people here vote for Lulzactive. Could anyone suggest any settings for LulzactiveV2 and give a simple explanation about how it works using examples? I use Matr1x 14.5 kernel and latest NSTools for the tweaks/settings.

Below, this guy explains how Lulzactive works but I cannot understand exactly how it works.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] your asian:
smartassV2 is very smooth for me and doesn't screw up music playing when screen off
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] provolinoo:
This is the same for me, I'd like to use lulzactive governor but it comes with a lot of specific settings and it makes me confused.

This is why I switched to SmartassV2.

I prefer to use simple governors, it's ok for me to have the ability to change any parameter manually but I'd like to have some kind of "use default settings" checkbox if I'm worried about change values by mistake :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y3mita:
Don't know or wanna mess with lulzactive give the scary-sio combo a try!

Anyone could tell how to set lulzactive?

performance than battery
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RushAOZ:
I set lulzactive to whatever it is at stock and it runs better than any other governer for me on the ics roms. Turn it on and leave the settings as is.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y3mita:
Default settings will give you great performance, if you need more I'd OC to 105 or 110 and try that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've posted a link to this poll in my Governor Benchmark test results page.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y3mita:
That's awesome! Thank you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deetailed:
My favourite scheduler is sio, good balance. Noop is another that I like, but sio performs better with not much difference in battery.

As for governor, with my old phone I was a staunch fan of smartass, but still looking for the best one for my Nexus S, which is rather tricky because the difference among them doesn't seem that much. For now, I use lulzactive v2, but ondemand and lazy are pretty good as well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y3mita:
Defnitely lulzactive-sio perform perfect for saving battery while giving you the performance needed. This means using your phone the most by not exaggerating. Notice the more demanding apps you run as video games or else will probably need a better combo for more performance than the average user.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icecoldmeat:
Sio with smartassV2 governor. Some more performance than battery life, but the battery life is still great.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y3mita:
Indeed nice combo too!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juliano_q:
Cfq + Smartassv2 is perfect for me, fast and very stable.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braneless:
So how many people actually understand what the different schedulers affect? I use whatever the kernel dev sets as default, usually cfq or no op and really see no difference in read/write performance.

I used to switch between SmartassV2, lazy, and ondemand, but have found interactive to provide the best speed + efficiency.

I've been pretty happy so far with SmartassV2 and SIO governor.

I plan on trying Lulzactive2 after reading up a bit.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntax_gosong:
I'm currently on Wheatley + vr.

I used to on OndemandX + vr.

And both give me a very good battery life.

Now I'm considering to use the popular one, the LulzactiveV2,

after looking the vote result and read some opinions.

I think the majority people should have been got a good benefit

in using the LulzactiveV2 settings, so I decided to give it a try.

Now, I'm a medium phone user. Some estimation for the phone usage :

I just use the phone for about 2 hours on calls,

twitter + browsing + email for about an hour,

Kakaotalk / Whatsapp / SMS for about an hour.

Can somebody tell me, which LulzactiveV2 settings combination

is the best for the Battery life reflecting to above phone usage?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y3mita:
Varies with kernels, which one you plan on using?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntax_gosong:
I'm using matr1x kernel.

Or you may suggest another kernel you feel better.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y3mita:
Matr1x is a great kernel choose lulzactive-sio combo 100-1000 and see how it goes!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntax_gosong:
Should I set the pumps etc?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeeps74:
Ondemand because i'm in demand. It's all i use. I have tried other governors from time to time but they don't seem to agree with me and/or my phones. I personally think that the different ones cause a lot of problems for the average user.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabry:
ondemand, also
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y3mita:
Leave them default, try it for a day and record your usage. Then we'd adjust the other parameters and do a second day trial and you can compare battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawebmaster:
Okay so i am using a stock galaxy s 4g

i rooted it so that is done i changed my recover so i can get into cwm i got like version 3.something

i am trying to install valhalla black edition

i seen valhalla final says KJ6 kernal

so i am assuming i need to go into cwm and update file from sd card

so i do this but my phone wont mount my sd card

i even tired to update the file from the sd of the rom i downloaded

but when i went to mount my sd card it says cant mount error

when i seen the instructions its UMMU im assuming it means this

unmount

mount

mount

unmount

the last unmount is my system and it says i cant unmount that

what am i missing???

i need to get the kernal then the rom install can someone help i read the bible and all but it doesnt really cover this well not clearly anyways....

any am i right the kernal is flashed the same way as a rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
what steps did you follow to get root & cwm installed? which version of android do you currently have installed?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Since you're using a stock sgs4g I'm gonna assume you're on froyo. You need to be on Gingerbread before you can flash a GB rom. If you were to flash a gb rom through cwm you wouldn't get the froyo bootloader which means you'd have a very unhappy phone. It would work in the sense that it would turn on and then do nothing.

If you follow my GB Starter Pack guide (there's a link in my signature) you'll get your phone ready for Valhala Black.

Remember to read all the instructions carefully once before you attempt anything, then re-read them following the steps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawebmaster:
i read it before a few times

and i read it a couple more times right now im kinda scared of odin i think its gonna brick my phone but im trying ur method

its stuck on the Set Partition part for a couple mins

i read somewhere else its not suppose to be checked but u said dont touch anything even if odin changes it

is it normal to take really long?????? its been about 5 mins and nothing....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] finch8423:
Did you reformat the sd card for Fat 32? Odin can take awhile. If your phone is recognized, and you loaded the right files without changing anything, then you should be fine. Just don't worry, get a magazine, and do battery pulls when instructed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawebmaster:
okay yeah sorry dumb mistake on my part i didnt put the sd card back in the phone lol so i softbricked my phone but i used that unbrick program and it unbricked it

so after i unbricked my phone did everything u said and it all worked

but the only problem i have now is when i try to install valhalla it gives me an error saying its bad i made should all the mounts and unmounts where right and i cleared everything i was suppose to i tried the final and black edition same problem any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Try re-downloading it to insure it's just not a bad download.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawebmaster:
its not because even if i try to flash the kernal thats in beta thru cwm it says bad as well any file i try to flash it says error

it first says updating or whatever then opening then cant open error (bad) installation aborted. no matter what i try to open no matter what rom it is

its annoying me i have no idea what i have done wrong i tried to reinstall everything and still nothing

say i wanted to start from step one all over again even though my phone is pretty much blank since it wont load up so i do a factory wipe or something? so nothing is left behind to ensure i get a good install?

i am pretty much willing to try anything just to even get my phone back

thank you for the replys i really appreciate it

P.S. i cant do a restore because i was running froyo and since i did the GB starter stuff it says md5 mismatch so thats out the question
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Let me read back through your thread to see what all you've done.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawebmaster:
thanx....

when i start my phone it stays on the first screen u see when u start ur stock phone

i did everything in the GB Starter pack up to the point where i load my own rom when it came to that i made sure all my mounting was right and stuff but no matter what it will not let me flash a rom

im running cwm voodoo lagfix recovery v3.0.2.8x

i did all the steps in the GB starter up til the rom like i said but I installed it twice

cause the first time it didnt work so i reinstalled in again no wipe or nothing basically it was having the error so i put it back in download and tried again

idk if that was bad since i know if i dont do a full wipe i can leave bad files idk

help i dont even care if u help me get back to stock 2.2 i just want my phone on

but i would really like to end my night with valhalla black edition

from the point im at now how i can i start all over again? factory wipe or what?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I was reading back through FB's GB Starter Pack to re-familiarize myself with it. As much as I hate to say it, I'd go back through it one more time from the beginning; don't skip any steps. That way you know you're getting a clean install all the way around.

Out of curiosity, does the phone boot up? If so, what does it say in Settings --> About Phone:

Firmware version

Baseband version

Kernel version

?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawebmaster:
no it wont boot it just stays on the Galaxy S 4G EXCLUSIVELY FROM TMOBILE screen it just stays there

imma redo it but should i do a factory wipe or something to make sure i get all the bad stuff off? im more comfortable with odin now can u recommend a rom or something for me to flash back to to start over?

or should i just put it in download mode and take a crack at it again?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
If it's sticking there, then there's a good chance you have either a Froyo ROM with GB boot loaders or vice versa. Yeah, if you can get into recovery do a factory reset then go back through the GB Starter Pack one more time. I'm sure you'll be successful. Just be patient as you go through the steps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawebmaster:
i figured out my problem i basically copied the SD card changed it to FAT32 and copied every single file back to the SD card

when i just put the rom and busybee it worked everything worked it installed my rom now Valhalla black edition and installed busybee after that

but now when it loads it keeps looping

Galaxy s 4g exclusively from tmobile sign over and over the first sign u see when ur phone starts
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Yeah, you're boot looping. Are you sure you flashed the KJ6 files from FB's starter pack? It really sounds like the wrong boot loaders are in place.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawebmaster:
i got it working... the whole system booted up and everything and yeah im sure i got the right bootloaders cuz i see the animation as it boots up

only problem i have is the blackedition rom doesnt have text messaging i am USA based and it forced closed if i try to message from the contact list and it doesnt even have a sms icon i assum a rom problem

u have been so much help thank u so much

my about info

fireware 2.3.6.

baseband t959vukj6

kernel 2.6.35.7-sms-kj6-v0.1.1-rc1+..............

imma downgrade to valhalla final cuz text messaging doesnt work i cant even see text in the black edition.......
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Glad you got it working, at least for the most part. I've not messed with the Valhalla ROMs so I'm at a loss there. Best of luck :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawebmaster:
i got it working perfectly mms and everything thanks for all your help this rom is awesome :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawebmaster:
memory card

okay so i managed to install valhalla black edition got all the settings and widgets i needed to make this rom the ishhhhhhhhhhh

but when i used the USB mode as a mass storage to drag all my music basically the cord many have unplugged during the transfer now my sd card wont work

when i plug it into the computer without the phone it ask me to format the sd card

some apps dont work due to sd card not working anymore

when i tried to format it that didnt work it said i had 259GB on it and its only 8GB

i have a 16GB that came with the phone i was wondering how far back do it need to start over? i already have a KJ6 kernel but since the sd card is done with voodoo is gone as well

can i start with the second ODIN rom from the GB starter pack???????

instead of doing the whole thing all over again...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
No, don't start over. Check Google for FAT32 repair tools. Then put the SD card in a reader connected to the PC & run the tool. It'll probably recover OK.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawebmaster:
what about all the info that was on the sd card?

im pretty sure its all gone..... dont i need it i dont even want to restart my phone...

or do the sd card repair and do a full backup?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
The recovery programs will try to recover what's there. I've read a few success stories on here about them so it's definitely worth a shot. Else, you're looking at formatting the sd card again which would cause you to lose what's already on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dawebmaster:
im trying zar 8.3 everything else i tried didnt seem to work hopefully this does

if i have to reformat the SD card then im looking at starting all the way over?

(elapse time is 56 mins so far and its not even half way done...... imma let it run while i head out to work wont be back til 1am centeral time to check it)

or where can i start from since i already have the right kernel? but no data on the sd card if worse comes to worse....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I hope it can help you. If not, you'll have to format the SD card again. You won't have to re-flash the phone or anything. You might have to reinstall your apps, though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kevcarroll2:
I was having a problem with the horizontal lines on my prime after ICS and was able to get a firmware update from an ASUS developer (unofficially) that fixed the problem.

Prior to the firmware update, I had used Vipermod Primetime to root my device and I also used Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to back it up. I lost root with the firmware update and havent been able to restore it using Voodoo. I then tried Vipermod again to re-root and I'm not able to get uid and gid = 0, so it's not working.

I'm assuming not many people are on 9.4.2.9 so I may be stuck here. Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
if you got a custom firmware or early release. I'd say just wait on root. You need tl thoroughly see how things are with the new firmware. You never know, Asus may want you to try another.

you are the first I've heard to get a custom firmware. What was it supposed to fix? What things are working better or fixed? How did you get the update? Did they USB it to yours personally OTA or was it installed after you sent it in from RMA or something?

Tell us everything you know about this new firmware...lmfao. did your wifi, GPS. BT, and ICS get updated also? what versions are those?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
I assume you mean 9.4.2.9. I think you are out of luck on root. It is pretty well known that updates will break root. I am rather surprised an update a dev PMed you would have it fixed but I guess that's the chance you take beta testing for them. I also have that issue and have the update but am afraid to install it. Not because I am rooted, which I am not right now, but because I am afraid updating like that will make it so I can't get official OTA updates. I don't think it would prevent me but I am too nervous to try. The dev that PMed me that update gave absolutely no indication of what exactly it fixed other than to say it may help with a reboot issue.

I look forward to the bootloader unlock utility so that when these updates are released someone can take out the part that breaks root before we flash them. Right now we are sort of at a point that we have to hope the brilliant devs around here can find a new root method each time an OTA is released. It isn't like these issues are small either so holding off on an update that fixes reboot or screen issues is hard to justify just to keep root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kevcarroll2:
If you look at the thread 1437280 - 'ICS Updated. Now diagonal flickering screen' - you'll see the issue and some talk of the firmware update I'm taking about. This was to fix the issue where we were seeing black horizontal lines or 'banding' across the screen. I applied the update Friday evening and havent had any problems since.

There is also mention of this update in the thread on 'locking up and rebooting now with ICS'

Sorry about the typo, it is 9.4.2.9. I got it via a zip file they put on dropbox.

I think you're correct that I'm best to wait on re-rooting, just figured I would ask since there are a lot of people much brighter than me out here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
it looks like you have a newer GPS firmware, notice any difference?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kevcarroll2:
No, it really hasnt been a big concern of mine, I didn't really test it before or after. However, I just tried google nav, from inside my house, and was not able to lock onto a GPS...for whatever thats worth.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Element_01303:
So... any chance of you sharing the Drop Box link for the rest of this with the issue for testing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kevcarroll2:
They took it off dropbox, but I think a few mirrors may still be up.

The standard disclaimer - Keep in mind whatever you do with this update you are doing at your own risk. I don't want responsibility for any problems this may cause anyone.
