People, please stop posting your own settings here. This thread is for discussing magicconfig only.

If you want to share them, either do it via PM like I did 6 months ago or post your own thread. I bet none of you want to send out 70 PMs a day, do you? Please understand it took me a long time to develop this config to make it universal, and that makes it even more insulting to have my thread spammed by everyone else posting their tailored settings that wont work for many users.

I'm tired of having to ask XDA MODs to delete these kind of posts from my thread.

@lestat1929, please edit your post and remove your config. Otherwise it will be deleted.

@geko95gek

I´ve deleted my post. I just want to show people that much more uv is possible than the one postet in your first entry, depending of their own device of course.

It was no my intention to discredit your good initial work, quite the contrary...

I think that every user here is responsible for their own actions and settings, and should know how far he are able to go... but it is your thread, so i respect this.

Keep your good work.

[Galaxy S II General] TecQuality:
nice thread :) i'll check later.
[Galaxy S II General] droidphile:
SmartassV2 does not have a screen-off profile. (Smartass has). It has only a "sleep_ideal_freq" to which the governor ramp down CPU aggressively when screen is turned off.

If some task demands more power during screen off, the frequency can go all the way upto maximum frequency depending on the load/demand.

Lulzactive has screen-off profile and the max-freq for scree-off state is configurable as well. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Yup - thanks to stuff like idle states and multiple cores, many of the old "rules of thumb" have become FAR more complicated.

In my opinion - hard-limiting to 200 is bad. I hard-limit to 500 as a safety measure - voltage increases a decent amount at 800, and if something drives more than a blip at 800, something is wrong.

Deciding when to turn on/off the second core is much tougher - having it on gets you "done quicker" in theory - but turning it on takes time, and some tasks run less efficiently when spread across cores. Also it may be better to hit 800 MHz than to run both cores at 500.
[Galaxy S II General] :
That is a weird one as i always thought smartassv2 had that profile already implemented in it. Honestly i prefer smartassv2 compare to lulz cause phone sleeps better and when in idle does not lose as much batter as lulz would. Thanks for explaining friend
[Galaxy S II General] droidphile:
Yup, 'rules of thumb' are no longer valid. It's the world where "ondemand" can save juice, "conservative" can conserve nothing, and so on, with more and more sophisticated tunables in the user space.

800 has to be the 'weirdest' frequency. Some devices enters deep sleep at 800 (when user configures so), device need to be @800 for a few ms when awaken, voltage required considerably increase @800, and so on. With voodoo louder, equalizer and powerampp contributing to music-play in screen-off state, CPU spends most of the time at 100/200 and negligibly little at 500. So 500 is the ideal-high screen-off cap freq. (When device hits deep sleep, this is however overriden and cpu set to 800 or 1000 for the req time anyways)

Using hotplugging and single core mode is sometimes funny if you think of a task that cause low load on cpu0.(assuming low UP thresh & high LOW thresh for hotplugging) The time taken to switch cpu1 plus time to turn it off (when low threshold is found) plus the time taken to do the task may be more than the time taken for cpu0 in single core mode to do the same task.

Kudos to what geko has done for the many once-newbies on here - he has provided a stable platform on which newbies can test, and to improve on. I for one, greatly appreciate his help. :D
[Galaxy S II General] legionxx:
+1 now i don't have to feel bad about bugging you for your latest config. i can just refer to this page. nice! :)
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
I wanted to post feedback for geko: raising all your UV settings with 50mV has kept my device all day running without a single problem. Maybe I will try to go down 25 mV again to get even closer to your setup. To bad my device can't handle your config, but like this it's close ;)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Exactly the point of this config. :)

Thanks for your understanding mate.

Yeah, for me it's no more sending out 50 PMs per day lol :p

Dude, so my suggestion is working fine. I'd say leave it for a bit longer then if everything else is fine, start reducing each step by 25mV. Remember to give a bit of time to run it each step at reduced voltage before going onto the next frequency.

Good luck. :)
[Galaxy S II General] NJGSII:
Been running your settings for over 12 hours now. So far everything seems good. Been using the noop/ conservative scheduler governor combo. Put the device through the paces and stability wasn't an issue.

Thanks!

Will report back on battery life tomorrow sometime.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Thanks for the feedback mate, sounds like all is working how it should be. :)
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
at last this thread is growing...cheers mate! btw after testing the andreilux script on defaults ill be trying it tomorrow with your settings...ill see if it makes a diff...currently im on defaults touching nothing from VC...ill try to make a comparison after using up my current set up...

btw...a lot of us (not just me but several buds from our fb thread) are experiencing faster battery drain when wifi is on (on defaults or even when using your cfg)...is there a bug in the latest siyah kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] NJGSII:
You know what, now that you mention it I may have had the same thing happened.

Whlist listening to music today with the screen off and wifi left on I experienced higher drain than normal. I think it was 2% higher than normal. Not much, but it's there.

I'm thinking about reverting to 2.6.9 and retest using the exact same conditions above.
[Galaxy S II General] sloanyboy:
been playing around with voltage controls seen a massive difference in performance and battery useage, thanks mate:)
[Galaxy S II General] maccawire:
More feedback for you geko. Been using your magic config for about a week now and my phone has been as smooth as a ken doll.

I use bfg and ondemand 200Mhz - 1000Mhz plus all your voltages with the exception 200Mhz I use 875mv as it causes me no issues.

Getting around 48hrs uptime (from 24hrs - 32 hrs) which means the battery saving is great (and if I cared about the environment greener also)

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
we actually did a group test on it just to check...3 who are on default and 3 who are on the cfg...same thing...with wifi on the batt drain was higher irregardless of the config and even with the andreilux script...ive tried to ask that on the siyah thread before but i guess gokhan is busy...anyways im just on the draining mode and will try the andreilux+magic cfg combi to see what happens...
[Galaxy S II General] NJGSII:
I see, I see.

I'm already doing what I said I'll be doing right now. I'll know in about a half hour, what's up.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Details?

If you had Android OS drain increase and deep sleep drop way down when wifi was on (but not before)- it could be due to changes in ARP offloading and broadcast traffic filters. (Actually, since Siyah is only available patched up to .14, the only symptoms of this will be the deep sleep dropping, and lots of wlan_rx and wlan_wake wakelocks in the kernel wakelocks list)

If you have intermittent high drain when connected to wifi, but no indication in any diagnostics of why (deep sleep still high, no high AOS usage on .7 kernels, etc.) - I've seen cases where my drain skyrockets to 2-2.5%/hour despite still maintaining deep sleep in my own kernels ever since finishing the process of patching up to the I9100 update3 codebase. It's intermittent, which makes it frustrating as hell to debug.
[Galaxy S II General] quattro_rs:
Same here but try :

1400: 1250mv ;)
[Galaxy S II General] NJGSII:
This was when I was listening to music actually. Had screen off for an hour and just using the music app. Wifi was on the whole entire time. on 2.6.9 I noticed only a 2% drain an hour. On 2.6.11 it was 4 % an hour with same exact conditions as above.

Almost done testing it again this time with 2.6.9.

edit: just got done testing and battery life was slightly better with 2.6.9 vs 2.6.11, but when I went to CPU spy I noticed something that was way different.

In 2.6.11 the amount of time the phone was in 200 mhz vs 100 mhz was 36% 34% respectively.

In 2.6.9 it was 1% in 200 mhz, 86% in 100 mhz.

Interesting.

Geks just direct people to my thread mate so that way peeps will not clutter your thread when posting there results if you want.;) that way no need for mods to get involved.

@lestat1929

Thank you very much mate for your understanding. Sorry if I was a bit too harsh.

These settings took me a long time to develop to make sure they work for most SGS2 devices out there. If people post their own tailored settings that only work for themselves then it kinda ruins point of this thread.

[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Just some crazy results from today. If this keeps going I can almost reach 8 hours screen time lol. Guess the fact that Im doing my XDA browsing on my laptop saves battery, whatsapp most of the time on my phone.

Edit: added some new pics, just for the fun of it :P
[Galaxy S II General] sid9922:
Good result mate..are you still on NEAK 1.4 with noop and conservative? Which misc options did you enabled?
[Galaxy S II General] MatangaChanga:
I see a lot of people getting excelent results on wifi.

Anyone could post a good battery life with 3g only?

I have not been able to get similar results as the ones in this post with 3G.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Yes, still Conservative + noop (lionheart tweaks), 200-1000MHz. I have been testing 1000 instead of 1200MHz for two days and can't really feel the phone being slower. So Im sticking to it. Undervolting just like MagicConfig.

Misc options all of them, so Sched_mc, AFTR and EXT4boost or how they are called.

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 AM ----------

On 3G it just aint possible to get the same results. The fact that 3G consumes more juice just camt be changed. Once I left the house 6 hours ago my battery has drained a bit faster due to 3G instead of wifi.

Anyway, I really saw the difference in battery life when not browsing XDA with Dolphin for an hour or more total a day. Im going to try and do that on my laptop only...
[Galaxy S II General] MatangaChanga:
If you leave your wifi coverage area, should you turn off wifi on the phone? Or can you just leave wifi on on your phone, does this drain a lot of battery?

I find it inconvenient to have to turn off and on wifi every time i leave home.
[Galaxy S II General] ole12:
Yes, it does drain your battery, and in my experience, it drains alot.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
+1

Turn it off when not around any routers.

I'm testing noop with lazy now with magic conf as I saw yesterday for first time this addition in the first post here for neak kernel..geko seems brilliant idea..as concern smoothness is top as concern battery is to early for me to say..if it is ok also with battery then I think at last I found my final set up! Thanks again!

[Galaxy S II General] kururu82:
How about siyah 2.6.13?

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II General] tonysac:
I tried also siyah, very nice kernel but I had problem how to set gpu through extweaks app because of no 114 step..maybe geko has found solution about this with a new set up for gpu;)

Keep walking Greece...
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Well, I haven't got to Siyah .13 yet but I can say that if there isn't a 114Mhz step for the GPU then you should use the next one up which is 133Mhz. The voltage should be unchanged.

[Galaxy S II General] tonysac:
Actually that was what I did with no problem;)

Keep walking Greece...
[Galaxy S II General] Dark Emotion:
Lets say that I want try this (UV+UC)... What kernel should I use, Siyah or N.E.A.K. (in terms of battery life)? And is there some script which I can flash to apply all these settings or do I have to apply all manualy?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
As it says it says in the OP... there is no script, they are just voltage settings to be applied using Voltage Control app.

I'd say in terms of battery life it's best to use NEAK on NOOP + Lazy, UC to 800Mhz max. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Dark Emotion:
Ok, but can I uninstall voltage control and still have these settings applied?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
No, you need an app which can manipulate voltages and apply them on boot. If you delete the app, your settings will be lost.
[Galaxy S II General] halkoliiteri:
How about init.d-script? Create script with VoltageControl and then remove the app.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yeh that should work too, however... how would you check if the settings are working or not?

Also, why not just use Voltage Control? It makes the whole thing much easier... then to have to edit the script every time you want to change your governor. Seems a bit of a long way round to be honest.
[Galaxy S II General] :
I have to agree with Geko here. The whole point of having this Magic Config is all about making it easy for the user and not have to go through scripts. Two minute job not even that, add your settings to voltage control set on boot and reboot. That is it. The same with my configuration for the Lulz governor app. Why use a script when an app can do all the work for you and it is easy to edit rather than have to go the long winded way of editing scripts.
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Noop + Lazy? Never tried Lazy. How is it compared to conservative? And does UC to 800MHz not take away from the smoothness/speed?
[Galaxy S II General] :
not if you are using NEAK mate. Come on now Mark you should know better how smooth this bad ass kernel is;)
[Galaxy S II General] shr33kant:
geko, thanks to using your config as a base I have now got the best settings I could get from my phone (as shown in my Sig).

This config is awesome :). Thank you so much :)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
You're very welcome matey, that is great to hear. :D
[Galaxy S II General] a1adin:
Hi geko,

I have used your magic config as base, then UV it a little bit more,

so far there is no problem with siyah v2.6.6 to v2.6.13.

I have use it for months.

Then yesterday, I looked at your 1st post of this thread, you also recommend REDPILL and NEAK.

Out of curiosity, I try REDPILL v1.3.

However, with the same UV setting, my phone hangs a lot all the time.

It seems that REDPILL can not used the same UV setting as siyah.

Do you know why is that?

I am going to try NEAK now.
[Galaxy S II General] :
different phones handle the frequencies inputted in them differently. so say what one kernel does for me with the same settings might not work for you. try upping your voltages if that is the case and see if you still get freezes..But NEAK is one of the best kernels out there so you will be making a good choice and there is an update later on today if you can hold off
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
I need to place a warning in the first post, RedPill does not agree with some of the voltages in MagicConfig. This isn't the first time I received a report like this.

Please try NEAK instead mate, its an amazingly light battery effecient kernel. Also, it accepts the MagicConfig setup perfectly.

Hi Geko,

I have been using your MAgic Config,

Nowadays I am Crazy for the Gameloft's Real Football 2012 game, which is a heavy graphic game and battery drains like BUMMM....also heating up the device too much.

Normally what I do is desable your config and connect the charger and play...

Being a user of Voltage Control free version, no multipple profile supported to apply changes without rebooting, disabling needs rebooting everytime.

Is there any harm, if I play the game without diabling Magic config while phone is being charged?
[Galaxy S II General] :
Dj Pingu you are a star mate. Thought I try out your magic config and adjust it a bit and here are the results

As always good work and cheers mate. Still got fair bit of juice left so will let it die down before I update again. Will post the results later.
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
Hey can you please post the setting if possible or pm me?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] :
what my settings?
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
Dj Pingu settings :-)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Why do you disable it?

You will have no issues playing hardcore games like that while using MagicConfig, that's one of the beauties of these settings. I myself play 9MM and Modern Combat 3 while my phone is plugged in and have never noticed any weird things happening.

LOL Dj Pingu is geko.I thought some one else.I am using your lulzapp setting with magic config.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Yes mate he is Dj Pingu. I modded his configuration a bit and works flawlessly..No complaints. And i think to undervolt is good but to go heavy undervolting actually does not do much for the battery...but that is just me

Currently I am using siyah kernal on turkbey rom XWLA4. I am thinking of changing the kernal to "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5.zip". So, should i uninstall the voltage control first or I can keep it with the new kernal ?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Why don't you try N.E.A.K. kernel?

CF-Root isn't going to give you an improvement in battery life if that's what you're after. Plus it doesn't work with Voltage Control.
[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
The turkbey v37 came with NEAK, but it didn't impress me. For me, siyah is better than neak. Thanks for the reply though.
[Galaxy S II General] MatangaChanga:
Instead, I tested siyah 2.6.13 for night battery drain on 3G only and in about 7 hours it drained my battery from 100% to 65%. With NEAK 1.4 battery drain is just about 1% per hour on 3G only. :p

It's amazing how every phone behaves so differently.
[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
Exactly. Well, battery is not 100% dependent on kernal, there are a lot of other issues as well. Well, i am using siyah 2.6.11 since its release and its working fine. I used NEAK 1.3, but saw a few unusual wakelocks so reverted back to siyah.
[Galaxy S II General] MatangaChanga:
You should give NEAK 1.4.1 a try, maybe you will get better results. Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] :
try conservative with Lionheart tweaks and your phone will be flying..worth trying the kernel for a week i say mate
[Galaxy S II General] Mabili:

[Galaxy S II General] :
Enable Lionheart tweaks mate. That way you get even more battery life;)
[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
can you please share it?
[Galaxy S II General] :
Flash NEAK kernel then and download the configurator app which is free from the market and then enable all the tweaks there:)

Im testing with different configurations and the best setting its Noob/Lazy giving very good results like geko95gek said, second to that its BFQ/Ondemand, giving good battery and performance...! now im testing noob/conservative on the new version of neak with NEAK options DISABLED (Sched_mc, EXT4 or AFTR), auto brightness ON, auto energy saving OFF and it seems very good too., less battery drain, smooth and lag free.

try noop and conservative and then enable Lionheart tweaks..then come back and speak to me;)

So if I do this will i get a better battery ?

[Galaxy S II General] :
up to you mate then i can only advice what i see as good. :)..Plus do not forget it is the end product that counts..what i mean judge the battery life near the end not the start..and to have 70% after ten hours and 1hr and 30 mins screen on time is not bad in my eyes
[Galaxy S II General] Cangir:
yeah you are right my apologies 1hr and 30 mins after 10 hours is pretty good
[Galaxy S II General] :
no need to apologize...i will post here my results once near the battery dies down
[Galaxy S II General] a1adin:
I have tried NEAK v1.4 and with the same UV setting as siyah,

and the phone still hangs occasionally,

not as often as REDPILL though.

Maybe my UV setting is a little bit too much?

But there is no problem with siyah.
[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
So how will you compare this mine:

13HR27MIN On battery. (57% remaining)

Display: 62%

Screen Time On: 2H23MIN
[Galaxy S II General] :
very good because you will most probably get by the end of the battery near to 4hrs screen on time which is very good if you ask me. look at the end of the day if you can go a day without charging your settings are good enough
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
It's most likely your device can't handle the voltages on some CPU frequencies.
