Thats all good then.

Did you not try... 66/100/267 @ 800/850/950 ?

I think those are the GPU values I will use when I write up the Relaxed MagicConfig settings, which will hopefully happen today.Then I will start testing the different Governor / Scheduler combinations. Keep an eye on post 850 guys.

Hey mate, trying your less agressive settings, i check my cpu spy and its using 1000 cpu most of the time, is this normal, all i do is browse xda a lil browsing and txting.. im on wanam lite 11.7 + siyah 3.3, 200mhz - 1000mhz

Hi guys awesome work with this thread ;)

I was wondering about one setting,the AVS bus frequency in particular on NEAK kernel...do u think that setting that value higher(level 6/7) associated to your settings in first page cuold make anything good??

battery saving apps

Why juice defender and all other battery saving task killer apps are not good to use?

I have Juice defender for a month and it seems that cutting internet connections off at night and checking every 15 min at day is saving me a lot o battery.

I don't know about this but want to learn and I know you are an expert.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] hughfollett:
Maybe it depends on the settings provided by geko.. Perhaps he's changed the scaling freq.. I mean: geko set the extweaks app in order to prevent the CPU to get the highest freq immediately.. And so it stays on 1000mhz more than on 1200..
[Galaxy S II General] UlbaWan-:
About task killer :

1) turn always on your phone, so it drain a little of your battery, screen on or screen off. It's possible to have deep sleeps too.

2) When you kill one app, the task killer take some energy to close the app and after that when you need the closed app, phone need more energy to open the app instead just wake up the app if you don't closed before.

So you consumes more than you save :) Those app can be helpfull with cheaper phone with less RAM, when you want to play a game you close all apps before to have more RAM but on our GS2...

About Juice Defender the app turn always, like the task killer. But this app save REALLY battery by turn off connections. You can use this app ;)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
I set smooth-scaling on eXtweaks to 800Mhz, so it will just jump to that frequency first and try to complete the task. Instead of going to 1200Mhz straight away all the time.

It's better to do those things manually or through stock android task killer. Running any extra apps will consume battery, doesn't matter if its called battery saver... defender... take backer or anything else.
[Galaxy S II General] fatbuccha:
But how many % is your 1000mhz? Its really wierd...
[Galaxy S II General] doongoo:
I've tried with and without juice defender. Never noted any difference of battery lifetime. Only thing, that I've noticed, that with juice defender I couldnt receive calls on viber, because it turns out data connection

I finally managed to get my system stable using the less aggressive settings and CPU under-volting of only -50 mV.

However when looking at my battery monitor stats it appears that the kernel is still to blame for almost all the battery drain.

Which version of siyah are you using geko?
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
Rom: CyanogenMod 9 (Latest Nightly)

Baseband: DVLP3 (Telstra)

Kernel: SiyahKernel (Latest)

Applications: ExTweaks

Before applying these settings I booted into CWM and set the ExTweaks profile to “Battery”.

SETTINGS (CPU):

GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS = Enabled

ARCH_POWER = Enabled

CPU Hotplug = Default

CPU IDLE Mode = AFTR + LPA (default)

Smooth Scaling Level = 800Mhz

SCHED_MC = 0

CPU Undervolting = -75mV (all frequencies)

CPU Step Count = 18 (All available)

Default CPU Governor = pegasusq

Default CPU Scheduler = sio

Scaling Max Freq = 800Mhz

Scaling Min Freq = 100Mhz

All other CPU settings as stock.

SETTINGS (GPU):

GPU Freq Step 1 = 40Mhz

GPU Freq Step 2 = 100Mhz

GPU Freq Step 3 = 200Mhz

SETTINGS (GPU Voltages):

GPU Voltage Level 1 = 800mV

GPU Voltage Level 2 = 800mV

GPU Voltage Level 3 = 900mV

SETTINGS (GPU Thresholds):

GPU Threshold 1-UP = 85%

GPU Threshold 2-DOWN = 55%

GPU Threshold 2-UP = 85%

GPU Threshold 3-DOWN = 55%

All other GPU settings as stock.

SETTINGS (BLN & Misc):

LED Timeout = 6 sec

LED Fade Out = no

LED Voltage Level = 2700mV

Android logger = Disabled

All other Screen / BLN / Misc settings as stock.

Some people have been successful in undervolting the CPU to -100mV, but mine was unstable so went to -75mV. Each result may vary.

Edit: Re-added since geko95gek and I are on the same page now. ;-)

Your post here says you used 100mV for CPU undervolt. I was simply saying that mine froze on -100mV, so I changed back to -75mV (using ExTweaks). Sorry if I have offended you or have done something wrong by posting the configuration that I am using (based off of the one you posted on the previous page). I will remove my post.

Morning guys,

I don't wanna trolling but there's any "Magic" on your "Tweaks". Putting just some UV values means nothing less than numbers and you know it. :D

I just tried Ram3n's ones and this is What we can call "TWEAKS" : better with Extreme UV settings + Scripts + Many various Tips. It Increased my battery life so much :D Sorry but yours settings don't have any hugh impact & benefice. :(

Just my 2 cents

[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
Haha. Nothing like that at all. I was thinking about the CPU steps too. Maybe it would be better to have 100-200-500-800 instead of having 300-400 and 600-700 in there?

Think of this scenario: A process uses CPU at 200mhz, needs more power so jumps to 400mhz, then 500mhz. If you only have 200-500, it would jump to 500mhz and the task would be completed quicker, thus saving more battery, right?

[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
Hey mate,

Have you tested the latest (3.3.1) SiyahKernel by any chance? I'm currently running this and with my settings battery life seems alright. If I can squeeze a bit more juice though, I might roll back to 3.2.7.1.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yes I did and didint really like it to be honest, wifi wasn't as stable as it is for me on v3.2.7.1.

Sent from my 80GB CyanogenMOD 9 + Siyah ICS powered beast. Booya!!
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
Yeah, I am finding the same thing (Guessing it's the SGS3 sources).

I'm wondering if these will make a difference not being in 3.2.7.1 though:

- fixed triangleaway support. boot partitions are not hidden anymore.

- back to GZIP compression because of new lvm binary

If it's running fine on yours I might flash it on mine and see how it goes. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] pikachu01:
It depends on the governor. For ondemand based governors, it'll jump to the highest frequency then lower down till it hits the sweet spot based on the load.
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
Ah that makes sense. Well I'm using lulzactive, and have set the CPU to 100-200-500-800. So will see how it plays out. :-)

Edit: It seems (possibly) that having all 18 steps enabled will give better battery life. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] dorie365:
I'm using

- ondemand, bfq

- off hotplug using single core

- 18 step

- -50 for voltage

- GPU 133,200,267, voltage 800,850, 950

can keep around 16hours with battery stock.

thanks for the tips.
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
I get that using dual core, -75mV, lulzactive, sio.

I set mine to single core. Losing roughly 10% battery after 5 hours. Some Facebook, Maps, Camera. Sleep rest of time.

Might try conservative governor and noop another time. So far I am liking lulzactive / sio.

- Dual core

- Noop+conservative

- redpill kernel by the much dedicated hyperdroid team :)

- 200mhz-1200mhz

- undervolted using magic config thanks to gecko for breaking sweat for us ;)

- Full screen brightness, not auto

These tweaks are just excellent! But I do have a question! Since I am using CM9 + Siyah latest SGS2 kernel, I frequently update my ROM. This means that I need to set these tweaks every freakin' time.. Can someone help providing a script for me? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
No, you don't need to set them again after you flash a new nightly. The tweaks should remain applied, providing you flash SiyahKernel straight after flashing a new nightly.

Straight after = before rebooting. ;)

[Galaxy S II General] b2rdetor:
very interesting combination of settings.

will try it.

i use mugenpowerbatery 3200mA.

my setting was (5 steps, ondemand, sio, 200-850\500-925\800-975\1000-1075, GPU 100-850\160-900\267-950, shed_ms 0, smooth scaling 1200, all other default)

also i use screen adjust with -40%contrast - because my s2 display type are veeeeery contrast (has other s2 and it was less contrast screen but more greeeeny). GPU interface acceleration is on

OMEGA v15ics+siyah3.3.2 with stock AB. (mostly 2nd level but sometimes 1st and 3d)

so with that setting my phone typical display time about 6-9 hours.

i am power user.

browsing (chrome, opera and opera mini test with 2\3g), icq (best for that is jasmine app), skype (30-60min video calls), wifi (throw proxy with proxydroid), plume, google+ and вконтакте. No calls (or 5min per day max).

always try to tune a phone. not a gamer but can play in solitaire or death rally for a 30-60min per day.

autosync googleacc (google+, gmail anf all all all), вконтакте, plume, beautifull weather, aquamail, plume and some other apps wicht i forgot.

today tryed you settings

1. shed_ms drops 10-20% performance in tests, but in real life it only 5-10% or less - will try it

2. pegasus = ondemand but need to be tested

3. set 18steps - seems like it better for battery

4. smooth scalling to 800 - it cool staf - not affect performance but CPU most of time operate with 800

5. min GPU to 66mhz, because 40mhz cause terrible interface lags when GPU acceration enabled but with 66 it smooth.

tomorrow i will write a results
[Galaxy S II General] b2rdetor:
for now 40% batery lost (today i use jasmine icq, plume, operaminitest with 2g, google+ with wifi, 40min+ solitaire) and display time is 4 hours )) usually its a 3.5hours or less and i cant see any performance lost.

will test you setting more - thank you! need to test 3D games like maxpayne! (ussualy they drain 20+% per hour)
[Galaxy S II General] b2rdetor:
final test

4 hours jasmine icq + opera mini mobile + plume = 35%

really good result!!!

but tryed to test maxpayne game (its load 2 cores 100%) and its drain 25% per hour (2nd level AB) - there is no miracle ))))

you setting are best for batery life, but only if app ist use all power of s2 SOC.

with 3d games batery drain like hell (max 4h playing even with MUGEN batery).

what you result with stock or other batery with maxpayne???

[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
Just general question to you as very experinced on testing lots of configurations and sorry if it was already answered before. Do you really recommend for "battery friendly" config these settings:

1. SCHED_MC = 2 (especially if CPU Hotplug = Default), I think it would be worth to enable load-balancing mode when 2 cores are on - in dual core mode. So I'm currently using SCHED_MC = 0.

2. Scaling Min Freq = 200Mhz instead of 100 Mhz. Is it really truth what I heard that 100Mhz consumes (as average) more power than 200Mhz? Do you really recommend 200Mhz in this case?

Currently I am using 100 Mhz. Regards
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
Hey mate,

Just a quick couple questions:

SCHED_MC = 2

Scaling Min Freq = 200Mhz

GPU Freq Step 1 = 66Mhz

Is there any reason you don't have sched_mc = 0, 100Mhz for minimum and 40Mhz for GPU1? I can understand having the GPU at 66Mhz (as being at 40Mhz, any graphic intense stuff would jump straight to step 2).

I use those settings and don't seem to have any issues.

everytime you flash a new kernel you still need to reapply the settings on voltage control. it senses that you have flashed a new kernel hence why profiles get broken

hi geko when i set 1200Mhz in general settings of voltage control app my phone freeze, maybe voltage is too low for my device?

At 1000Mhz max all is good.
[Galaxy S II General] :
what voltage are you using when setting the phone at 1200Mhz? Cause really the settings that Geko uses, your phone should not be freezing. unless you put something like this 1200Mhz - 1100mV. so what do you have
[Galaxy S II General] darkhorses:
I use 1200 mV at 1200 Mhz, bfq scheduler and ondemand governor. Will try with more mV

Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9100 avec Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II General] :
:eek: and your phone freezes? anyway try Gekos settings but try to step it up by 25mV. what i mean is were say he has at 1200Mhz - 1200mV you put it up to 1200Mhz - 1225mv. then see if you get any freezes by trying that... i am pretty sure though that you have undervolted on your other cpu frequencies and nothing to do with 1200....but anyway try the above guide
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hmm....most likely it's not fault at that frequency. Anyway, try raising it by 50mV and see if it happens again. That way we will know if its that step or not. This way we can filter it out.
