You're welcome mate. I think jermitano is working on a flashable zip which will restore these settings after a ROM flash. I could be wrong though. :)

Glad it's all working as expected for you mate.
[Galaxy S II General] deadnight.warrior:
Ohh wow !! That will be great !! Thanks... I look forward for it ! Hehe ya I understand, I hope he is :P
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
ahaha...actually mate im still testing andreilux scripts on defaults and so far minus the micro lags battery life is going well (but still the wifi drain remains)...sir jan from our thread created a combination script of andreilux and your settings...ill be asking his permission if he or i can post it here...he needs testers for it (ill be the next guinea pig as i was already planning doing that, not yet though as im still waiting for the new ics theme from vertumus) but ill see if i can make a zip for your cfg and sir jans hybrid
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
I hope that testing goes well, that combination could potentially save even more battery juice. :)

Ok after testing, 1225 mV at 1200Mhz is stable for me, all others steps are good and i don't know why this one cause me this problem?

I loose approximately 3,5% per hour and for me its good.

Thx for the support
[Galaxy S II General] :
Increase all steps either by 25 or 50 not just the one. Apologies if you have already done it. But anyway you are more than welcome.:) if you have not already, install betterbatterystats. Link is in my signature and that could help you also find out what wakelocks you have. What i mean what keeps your phone awake when screen is off. Click on the link and read on :)
[Galaxy S II General] darkhorses:
Lol i had just increase one step, now the others are done.

Thanks, i didn't know this app and you give me some lines to read this night :)

If anyone here is thinking about getting an official Samsung extended 2000mah battery, it's a must get for those heavy users. Reason why I'm posting it here is because with magic config thanks to gecko is an absolute duo and best combination. I've got mine recently and here are my current results;

- 50% brightness currently (100% minus 1 hour 20 min approx from display time)

- noop+conservative

- 200mhz-1200mhz

- magic config

- heavy usage (games, browsing, talk and text, sync in background with 5 accounts)

- wifi always on with sleep policy

- data when wifi not available

With all above, I still have 50% battery life left, so far the battery results are

- 14 hours on battery

- 4 hours screen on time :D

Most cases don't fit with extended battery as it is slightly thicker, however case mate pop is an amazing case, it fits :)
[Galaxy S II General] Steven6489:
Admire you all can get above 2h screen on time..most I can get is 1+h only..no matter what config I try.. :(
[Galaxy S II General] b2rdetor:
100Mhz inst drain more power its drain a little less (96mA vs 99mA in my measurments, but it only when no CPU load).

when CPU full loaded, 100Mhz drain more power per Mhz (115mA for full loaded 100Mhz and 120mA for full loaded 200Mhz).
[Galaxy S II General] shadyr25:
Even with 2000mah extended samsung battery? If not it costs around £25 on ebay, get one it's recommended. Also, which rom are you using? I found hyperdroid to be the best for me. Which modem aswell? XXLPS has been the most less consuming battery friendly and delivers excellent quality and data speeds for me. Or simply, recalibrate battery stats and leave the battery out of your phone for about 3 min then charge to 100% and start your phone. Or just maybe your battery could have weared out and it's time for a new one.

Sorry forgot to mention kernel, I use redpill kernel... simply the best. Both hyperdroid rom and redpill kernel made by the same team, hence best combination, props to them.

Hope this helps :)

Hi, I'm using Foxhoud Sniper Wolf LPD with modem LPS..Siyah Kernel 3.3.2 with MagicConfig..Currently using stock 1650mah battery.. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] shadyr25:
I'm still using gingerbread by the way. I forgot to ask, how many apps do you have that require the internet for notifications and do you have sync enabled? Any e-mail perhaps?

You can always try better battery stats to find the culprit draining your battery, it has helped me alot.

I have also noticed that removing bloatware helps.

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
1 hour screen on time? I haven't had anything that bad since I had my desire HD. Which was a long long time ago, even on that when I configured my kernel properly I was getting about 5-6 hours screen on.

I think thats a pretty clear message which says that you need to change something about your setup.

This is what I'm getting right now... with less aggressive UV MagicConfig. WiFi on, 2G, all sync and background data enabled. Proper drained it.

That's 6 hours screen on time easy!

Perhaps you should just follow my setup? (find it in my signature)
[Galaxy S II General] shadyr25:
Wow, is that with the original 1650mah battery?

At most, at 50% I could just about get 2 hours or less.
[Galaxy S II General] shadyr25:
Hey guys, my latest result :D very impressed, heavy usage, almost 20 hours on battery and almost 8 hours screen on time with 50% brightness level. Enough to walk around all day without worrying about battery life :D magic config truly a magic, thank you so much gecko, I never knew how to go about undervolting until I came across your config, much appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II General] ballmead:
I'm giving your relaxed UV settings a go @ -25mV as my phone freezes sometimes on -50mV.

So far so good.

@geko95gek

Could you spend a while to answer this please? Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] b2rdetor:
hahaha

games??? if only solitaire 2d game. try to game in maxpayne and it will drain 35+ (even 40%) batery per hour on stock.

most of result of batery life here isnt a true usage result.

usual usage it a 3-6h on screen time with this config and stock batery, 4-7.5h with 2000mA, and 5-10.5h with mugenpoower3200mA (seems like real capacity near 2800-3000mA)

also some good results you can get when you use videoplayer (even on stock it can playing 7+h).
[Galaxy S II General] m4x0r:
The new magic config for siyah works great.

I use the -50mV for CPU

And the relaxed settings for GPU.

I used a lot youtube, google talk video chat for 30 minutes, whatsapp, tapatalk, Google play music, some browsing with chrome, Bluetooth headset, wifi & data allways on, sync allways on screen brightness around 50%.

Here are the stats screenshots

Thanks for the kinds words mate!

Looks like it will be a while before I figure it out fully. So far today... unlocked bootloader via HTCDev, flashed CWM recovery + SuperSU, and flashed Android Revolution 7.1.0. Now have to figure out what's what, also what custom kernels there are out there.
[Galaxy S II General] hughfollett:
That is really exciting: studying for a new setup, with new rom, kernel and so on:D but why you decided to go for the one x? Or, why you don't like the gs3?

My formula (thanks to all the devs, without them it would have been impossible....who in the end make it possible) for ultimate performance while maintaining excellent battery life to anyone who requires it. NOTE: After thorough testing with neak, siyah and redpill kernels with magic config, the following has worked for me the best performance (no lag, very stable) and battery wise (bearing in mind i have 6 accounts always syncing in the background, reminders and notifications) therefore I cannot guarantee it will work for everyone... but I hope it does.

Hyperdroid rom + redpill kernel + LPS modem = 80% deep sleep (without fail, that's 1% per 4-5 hours or more for me) to make things more interestingly beneficial we +magic config (only undervolting, no underclocking required) with noop+conservative and 50% screen brightness.

+1650mah will give under heavy usage without fail about 14-19 hours on battery and 4-5 hours on screen time.

+2000mah will give under heavy usage without fail about 19-24 hours+ on battery and 7-8 hours on screen time.

For heavy gaming, 2000mah is recommended, it gives me 4-5 hours or more screen on time.

Todays result I'm submitting was under mild usage with data active for more than 4 hours and wifi for an hour... excessive browsing for about 5 and a bit hours, almost 1.5 hours on game and the rest browsing local files, pictures and videos, music ran in the background for about 2.4 hours. Calls were mild, heavy texting. All that still gave me 2.5 days worth of life with a total of 7 hours on screen time.

Hope this comes of help to someone, anyone and everyone :)
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Geko, i used your less aggressive config with cm9 (full wipe), but can get only 3 hours screen on time.. Plus no major wakelocks... I am surprised as to why i cant get even 4 hours of screen on time... My battery runs for almost 14-18 hours... And I've let the rom and kernel settle for 3 days now... I used you extreme config, but was getting kernel panics.. Any suggestions? I really would like to see 5-7 hours of screen on time...
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
I ended up changing CPU from -75 to -100mV, and the GPU3 to 950mV instead of 900mV. Also pegasusq/noop. I've ran antutu and played Temple Run, so far no freezing or kernel panics (I figured it was having GPU3 @ 900mV).

Will hopefully stay stable over the next few days. :-)

Edit: Spoke too soon, back to -75mV for me.
[Galaxy S II General] bjareboy:
I'm dual booting Wanamlite and CM9 and decided to test the magic tweaks for my second rom CM9 yesterday. I applied the less aggressive values in Extweaks, but didn't take long before my phone froze. Pulled the battery and booted up again, but the phone freezez everytime right after bootup. I've even done the "reset Extweaks to default" setting in CWM, but the phone keeps freezing up anyway each time I bootup CM9.... any clues?
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
I haven't checked this by my own but think that resetting feature of ExTweaks settings for 2nd rom (from CWM recovery) is not yet implemented to the kernel.

You can find here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1555259

on the 1st post, for "To do list" Gokhanmoral writes - "implement resetting extweaks options for the second rom (or add it to extweaks)"

Siyah dual-booting rules say that ExTweaks settings and init.d scripts are different as long as two roms use different /system and /data partitions. ExTweaks settings are stored in /data/.siyah folder but /data partition for 2nd rom is stored in /.secondrom/data.img so when you are booted to the 1st rom it's rather not accessible unless you know how to edit data.img. The easiest way in this case is to restore nandroid backup for 2nd rom from CWM recovery / dual-boot options (of course under condition that you prepared one before;)). Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hmm, I think you should download BetterBatteryStats app (its free here on XDA) and check for partial wakelocks. It's most likely that some application is keeping your phone awake.

Hmm, don't push it too far... the little extra UV won't make too much difference mate. Although, for me it was the high GPU undervolts that were causing issues.

As for CPU, I could keep it at -100mV all the time.
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
Hey guys I'm using cm9... I'm thinking these will only work with the above mentioned kernels and not the stock cm9 kernel...??

Last time I tried to flash siyah my phone lost its mind... a bit paranoid about going for it again... but no doubt these battery stats and frikking impressive... I'm lucky if I can get 4hrs screen on time...!!

Sent from my Galaxy ICSII
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Stock CM9 kernel does not allow undervolting.

Siyah is safe now mate, just flash v3.3.2 in recovery and you should be set to try my MagicConfig.

PS. On another note, as some of you might have already noticed... I have moved onto a higher state of device with HTC One X. Which means I do not have my SGS2 for tests anymore... sadly :(

If any of you have the time and will power to drive your SGS2 that little bit further for extra battery life without compromising on performane, and provide something special to the rest of SGS2 and Siyah users then please contact me.

Together we can keep MagicConfig going. :D
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
Awesome... thanks...!! I don't need to wipe data to be able flash siyah right...?? Just a dalvik and cache wipe and good to go...??

And I'm thinking from now on everytime I flash a nightly I need to flash siyah over it again...

Sorry for the unrelated questions but not used a different kernel for a while :-)

Sent from my Galaxy ICSII
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yes and yes, then you should be set mate.

Just flash Siyah straight after flashing a new nightly, I did that for like 3 months and never had issues.

PS. Thanks for the 2500th thanks point :D
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
Haha... there you go... one more for good measure ;-)

Just flashed all the stuff and did the settings... let's see how this badboy does now... fingers crossed... tho so far the drain seems as before... yes I know I'm a little impatient... lol

One question tho... rather 2... firstly I didnt see any setting for

"Default CPU Scheduler = sio"

Did I miss that somewhere...??

Secondly BLN doesn't seem to be working for me... I don't have any other apps that would give me an option to enable it so that can't be it... tho again that's probably a kernel discussion thing not here...

oh and I know its a battery drain... but not having a notification led in the sgs and sgs2 were always a issue for me... :-\

Under misc in extweaks. Slide across.
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
So I started off with less aggressive and my phone started going a little crazy with the rebooting or freezing every now and then...

Have moved to the light settings... but I had a question about the gpu settings... I would obviously want to keep settings so as to keep the phone stable yet give me the best battery life so I'm thinking there is a middle ground one can set between the less aggressive and low settings given here...

Question is what things does one need to keep in mind while changing the gpu frequency/voltage... or is it just random trial and error to see what works...

Also the CPU undervolting... is it more power saving to undervolt the CPU more or under volt the gpu more... or are they not comparable at all...? Or are they the same thing essentially :what:

Geko iv tried all these configs but its just not working for me... don't get where the problem lies... rather with siyah the android OS is causing my main wake lock according to BBS...

Currently I'm using the least aggresive UV settings but had to increase the gpu voltages and decrease undervolting to make it stable even... otherwise was hanging left and right...

Any suggestions...??

[Galaxy S II General] waris_arsh:
i presume that these setting are for 3.2.7.1

and what if i update my kernal to 3.3.2

are all these settings are valid on 3.3.2 siyah kernal as well?

and is 3.3.2 is better than 3.2.7.1 in term of performance and battery timing ?
[Galaxy S II General] shadyr25:
Geko, without magic config I wouldn't be here :) battery consumption was already low using hyperdroid rom and the redpill kernel, heard about undervolting but it all seemed confusing and dangerous ... so I never bothered until I came across your thread where I was encouraged to take my first step in undervolting. It was so successful I noticed the difference there and then. 1650mah would give me 1 day on battery and 4-5 hours screen on time, but as I'm a very heavy user, thought why not extend the awesome results and make it extreme... yes I use the 2000mah battery now. Another tip to everyone would be to remove bloatware off the phone, it helps alot :)

Thank you geko, I have also referred many users to this thread to achieve this without any risk involved .....coz someone already broke the sweat for us :p

Hello there,

First of all thanks for sharing these important tips/guides for getting better battery life on our devices.

I just installed the latest version of Resurrection Remix ROM with the latest Siyah Kernel for ICS. Using the ExTweaks app I modified the given values on the previous page.

Now what else I should do? Are the new settings going to be applied automatically in each reboot? ( I remember when I applied the UV settings previously on a GB rom with Voltage Control app I had to set them as boot options and in each reboot "Default settings applied" was shown on status bar).

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
That's great to hear mate. :)

Perhaps you could put a link in your signature then it would be easier for everyone to get here...

Also, I've been meaning to ask someone to do this. Since I don't have my S2 anymore, I cannot take screenshots of ExTweaks with the settings applied to add to post 850. I think this will help users a lot who are adjusting the settings for the first time.

Any chance you could do that for me??

With ExTweaks the settings should be applied automatically.

With Voltage Control you had to set them to apply on boot first in the app.

What do I put in my sig, the hyperlink?

Sure, I'd be more than happy to do so... but I use voltage control, is that okay?

[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
These settings (GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS and ARCH_POWER) are for both kernels but as I said the difference is that for 3.2.7.1 you can't set them from ExTweaks app, you have to make a "trick" with special script located in /system/etc/init.d directory. For 3.3.2 is easier to activate them. According to your question which is better - just try them, check them and decide which is better for you. Some forum members claim that 3.2.7.1 is more battery saving (friendly) than 3.3.2. It is subjective issue so I am not convinced and still testing them both - no clear results yet.
