sir gokhan's getting back to basics hehehe...btw after my 2nd cycle on the redpill 1.1 kernel it works the same with my "borrowed" build from your 2.6.11 config...medium to heavy use it lasted 15 hrs (2 movies/30 mins call/wifi on and off totaling 4 hrs/browsing/downloading updates on hyper etc)...currently testing on 1.2...btw the noop/conservative set i think is the best...my deep sleep doesnt even wink a lot of percentage...

Charging Current settings

Question:

I have an extended battery of 1650mAh & 2000mAh. How should I set the options of that current charger?
[Galaxy S II General] UpInTheAir:
None, because there is no actual increased charge rate, except for USB. But increasing USB voltage could cause some instability if charging from a PC port.
[Galaxy S II General] pmc11:
Great first reference point for anyone starting to OC/UV.

It's important to realise that all phones are different and that this should be thought of as a fairly safe spot to start your experimenting (safe enough that yes it will work on

most

phones).
[Galaxy S II General] Lownita:
Hey I have some questions:

Is it the better choice to set boot on VC via startup service instead of initd script?

Underclocking the GPU doesn't have any negative impact on performance?

In your screenshots, you put the current charging to 700 mA. Does that give any benefits?

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yes I believe it's better to use Startup Service (just like you can see in the screenshots). It works perfectly.

No, reducing the low value of the GPU did not have any noticeable impact on performance. The high GPU value is left stock but is slightly undervolted.

Changing the current used to have benefits in the earlier versions of Siyah, but now it's static at 650mA so even me changing it to 700mA does not have any effect. So in essence you can leave that stock.

:)

Just would like to say thanx and i found this thread most useful, i was using siyah kernels before i went over to trying ics roms and i got amazing battery life out of my phone from following thid thread...
[Galaxy S II General] VinceLeTiss:
geko95gek you legend, this has majorly improved battery life and oddly games such as lets golf 3 seem to run smoother than before

thanks a lot, when i get paid a donation will be heading your way mate :-)
[Galaxy S II General] smokemeakipper:
Hi all.

Thanks geko95gek for all this wonderful info, and all the members for a great site.

I applied you uv settings to siyah kernel .11. Everything running great (checkromv4) Gt-19100 unbranded.

I noticed that there was another siyah kernel (v2.6.12). I couldn't resist a flash (i use kernel cleaning script v.17 between kernels) i applied you uv settings as of page 1. Everything worked great untill i tried to play videos through the gallery. The videos(shot with the camera at 720p) would play, but every so-often i would get a incorrect data error playing different vids

Thinking it was uv settings coursing the play back error i increased all the uv settings up by 25 then 50, but no luck.

Ok then, back to stock Voltages, still no luck.

The only way i could rectify the incorrect data error was to flash back to v2.6.11

I applied you uv settings and all was good again.

This error has been noted by a member on the siyahkernel thread.

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Thanks for the report here mate, it's definitely nothing to do with the UV settings. The kernel itself is acting spastik lol

Glad you found the thread useful like many others. To give an immediate improvement without worries of damaging your hardware is the whole point of MagicConfig.

hi guy

why my voltage control extreme miss the GPU and Charging.I have tried both SiyahKernel v2.6.9 and SiyahKernel v2.6.12 , but it doesn't work.Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Eh? Screenshot....

EDIT: Thread now updated to include RedPill magicconfig as well since it seems to have largely similar fantastic results on that Kernel as well. I'm using it myself already for a while.

Communicated using an SGS2 droid with XDA premium neurotransmitter while DJ'ing on the Enterprise.
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
You probably have an old version of Voltage Control. Update to a newer version of the app and it should show up.

@Geko: you gotta see this question coming... Siyah or RedPill? :) Think they are both about as good aren't they? Are there any notable differences?
[Galaxy S II General] rexboy:

[Galaxy S II General] exit-1:
I used your settings for NDT MIUI-Siyah-bfq-ondemand for one week. Everything was working fine and battery life was something better, say 20% in my case. The only side effect was with Latitude/Maps. Each time I started this app, phone would freeze and become extremely laggy, almost non responsive. Other than that, I think your settings is pretty useful. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Pennywice:
Hey

Was trying noop / consercative, but getting sleep of dead all the time. Donno whats wrong, working fine with smartassv2 / sio. Didn't try to volt up, and for now i'm trying out neak kernel. Properly going back to siyah kernel, but i allways like to try out new stuff;-)
[Galaxy S II General] UpInTheAir:
Looks like you need to increase the voltages slightly for a certain frequency. You could set the frequency min max to a frequency (say 500 MHz to start) and test at that frequency. If it freezes whilst testing with Maps, increase by 25mV. Do same for other higher frequencies if need be.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
tweak and test...with this base you can start your own settings...if you experience SOD or wake lags try to up your voltage +25 (one by one if possible in the frequency table)...patience and intuition is rewarding with our phone mateys!
[Galaxy S II General] tenchi0205:
:D Look like Sir had change to RedPillKernel v1.2...So its this RedPill better than Siyah?:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
kernel preference depends on you and from what ive learned and experienced from what rom you are using as well...i found it great that hyperdroid and its kernel work amazing (as suggested by veyka and avrs)...i tested it for geko and found it worked as well as he did...seems like siyah and redpill have parallel (not totally similar) developments...

[Galaxy S II General] gorillaCF:
just want to check here, anyone tested the combination of sio/smartassv2 on siyah?

it's performance is really smooth and good for me, battery wise is still considerably good.

want to hear for more opinions on the combination, probably recommendations as well on improvements? currently testing siyah 2.6.7 :)
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
I have. The performance is very good indeed, but it drained noticeble more battery then Ondemand on my device. I prefer more battery life then that even smoother performance.
[Galaxy S II General] gorillaCF:
ah okay. i'll try ondemand also to see if there are noticeable differences in the performance.

i'm trying to get a combination of a favorable smooth performance with a acceptable range of battery savings. haha. currently sio/smartassv2 is really smooth but battery drains quite fast like what you have said.

thanks!

[Galaxy S II General] nicregi:
For me

Siyah 2.6.12 - Sio & SmartAss or Ondemand (gaming)

RedPill v1.2 - Deadline & sleepy

How to compare? It depends on which you feel is better (smoother) and good battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] mekhonte:
Thanks for reply. But I mean comparing the kernels themselves not configs. ie. Features and issues?
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
I am trying to find some opionions as well, as there are so many features in both kernels it's hard to have a good overview of what both offer and on what fronts they differ.

My first impression is that Red Pill is 'cleaner' then Siyah, the last one having more tweaks and stuff. I might start testing Red Pill 1.3 soon, it includes the Touch based CWM with all kinds of cool stuff. I asked Geko on one of the last pages how he feels about Red Pill vs Siyah, but he hasn't answered yet.

I think he is either on CM9 (ICS) now or very busy in real life :p

I returned to Siyah 2.6.7 btw, .9 was awesome but .7 seems a little little bit better. BFQ + Ondemand, 200-1200MHz, Geko's config +50 mV at each CPU and GPU step for total stability.
[Galaxy S II General] ntc3freak:
Hey guys,

I'd just like to give big thanks to geko and everyone who has posted here helped me in achieving my results.

So in short, i'm on Checkrom V4 and using the latest Siyah. Yesterday I achieved the best battery life I've ever had. I would also point out that 3G was off, because i'm visiting my dad in Dubai and I don't want to kill my bill by using data roaming :D Wifi was on whenever I was at home, roughly about 70-80% of the time? I didn't play any games yesterday, just browsing and lots of YouTube as well as other various things. I'm also a heavy Whatsapp user. I know that it causes partial wakelocks, but I need it to keep in touch with my family.

Anyway, I managed to achieve 6 hours and 41 minutes of screen on time then the battery died. I should mention that i'm using the 2000mAh battery, but even then I didn't expect it to be this good.

Again thanks geko for the settings! It provided an excellent base :D

[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Well thats awesome :P

Have you also tried Siyah? If so, which version. And what do you think: RedPill 1.3 or Siyah 2.6.7/.9/.11?

Btw, I undervolted 50mV lower at each CPU step. Im now on the exact same setup as Geko's first post. My device couldn't handle it so I have been running Geko's config +50 mV for some time now, not a single problem. S I guess it's time to try and go lower :P
[Galaxy S II General] Roastgoat:
I was on Siyah 2.6.9 but switched to RedPill before finding this glorious MagicConfig. I may have to try Siyah again to gain some comparison

my setup is identical to Geko's in every way, except my CPU range bottoms out @ 200Mhz. I'm relatively new at this but feel I'm getting the hang of UVing, so I might try a few configs.

but the current one is stable, fast, and gives me awesome battery life, so maybe I'll stick with it for now.
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Aha, thats to bad. Really having great results right now, also 200-1200MHz and identical to Geko's. Though Im on Siyah not RedPill. Ah wel don't think the difference is that big between the two kernels. Unless somebody says RedPill is much beter I will stay put.
[Galaxy S II General] ole12:
I should try pichacu01 advice about UV. You can find it somewhere in the siyah thread.

It's about playing a mkv file and locking the mhz while UV'ing.
[Galaxy S II General] Roastgoat:
I could take it or leave it really, I'm not one to notice the intricacies of each kernel. What i DO like is RedPillKernel's recovery; I find it easier to navigate and the new touch recovery is great.

Yeah I saw that, it looks awesome. Only thing is I realised I don't spend that much time in recovery :P
[Galaxy S II General] Roastgoat:
Haha yeah, what can I say? I love to flash!:D
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Have some bad news... my phone just froze a few minutes ago. After many hours I thought my phone could handle Geko's undervolting... but I guess it's still 50 mV more for me. Cant believe it, there are people undervolting so much more then even Geko's settings... why is my phone so lame :(
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
I would advise to ask in your ROM thread. It's unlikely that this phenomenon is anything to do with UV.

Hmm.....it's not your whole phone being lame, it's just your processor lol

Did you try the same settings with RedPill?
[Galaxy S II General] aegis_85:
Hi all.

First of all I would like to thank geko for such an amazing set up. Just reach 5hrs screen time than my regular 4hrs. :D

Today I just play asphalt 6, and notice some lag, with Max freq clocked to 1.2 Ghz. I changed the max freq to 1.4 and still have the same result. Should I increase max gpu to 400Mhz? If so what is the safe voltage for this set up? Or anyone here have another set up

Edit; I'm using ondemand.
[Galaxy S II General] prommindh:
Experimenting on Redpill v. 1.3... results as following;

Phone on: 1 d 16 hrs. 55 mins.

Screen on: 4 hrs. 10 mins.

Voice call: 52 mins.

imho this kernel is as equally good as Siyah 2.6.7 & 2.6.9 in term of battery life with more updated feature - touch recovery. I'm an average usage thus doesn't play game so i don't see any significant differ in term of performance.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:

How did you get Deadline/sleepy working on RedPill 1.3 without Black screen of Death?

Works great with NOOP / Conservative.
[Galaxy S II General] LegendZenify:
Thanks for the settings.

Used your settings for a few days on on siyah 2.6.12, pretty stable.

Played around with undervolting and realised the voltages stated for the higher frequencies really hit the sweet spot for my processor!

Reducing by 25mv on the 1000 and 1200 MHz makes my phone crash on a stability test, but the voltages stated seem stable.

However, my phone's processor is pretty weird, it seems to be able to UV a lot more on lower frequencies, running 850mv for 500MHz provides no problems on stability test.

By the way, am I doing anything wrongly for UV settings?

I find it weird that I am able to UV so much more on lower frequencies, yet not being able to UV more for the higher frequencies.

Please enlighten me :-)
[Galaxy S II General] ole12:
That's the thing about UV, different phone different UV.

Me myself have 1000hz max with 1025mv
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Hmm, ok. Haven't really thought about that. Now that I think about it everytime my phone froze it was while using it, probably at 1000-1200MHz.

Maybe I will try to undervolt the lower frecuency's again and leave the higher one's a bit higher. Although I dont know how much battery that will save, since the phone is either in deep sleep or when using in 800-1200MHz mode.

Will that result in any problems? Do all frecuency's need to be in "balance"? (So very undervolted 200-500 MHz and no undervolted high fruequency's)
[Galaxy S II General] Roastgoat:
I'm using 200 Mhz as the base clock, and no OC (1200 Mhz top-line).

Never had a BSOD, had a kernel panic when I first set the MagicConfig and thought "uh-oh here we go" but I think it was conflicting with SetCPU which I disabled.

It has been nothing short of glorious ever since.
[Galaxy S II General] kartiloco:
wow, how's that possible?

I mean the 5 hours display time is sick.

I'm on CM7 and Siyah with Noop + Conservative right now, gonna test this.

Whats ur brightness / screen settings?
[Galaxy S II General] mekhonte:
I tried redpill for a couple of days and should say although redpill gives you better battery life even from 2.6.7 2.69, siyah is more stable and less sensitive to UV.

the other thing is that siyah still on heavy deployment so the chance for solving issues in next release is higher.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
thats because redpill is already tweaked and uv'd mate...siyah sticks to almost the base stock voltages so you have a lot of room to play...and your phone's own hardware sets can limit what you can with your power consumption :)
[Galaxy S II General] prommindh:
