Man!!! 10 hours and more than 1 hour of screen time and 70% to go!!! :eek:

I envy you!!! Hehe, in a good way.

With conservative + noop + lionheart + sched-mc + ext4 boost I get to 70% in about 6 hours but with screen on time of about 20 minutes only...

Maybe it is because I use 3G all the time, and receive a lot of pushed emails??? :confused:

[Galaxy S II General] :
Mixture of Magic Config and Rock Solid Config and you have the following outcome
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Why do you guys disable Ext4 boost? I always see you saying to do it but not why lol

I think Ext4boost is the reason everything loads so incredibly fast after rebooting. So I can imagine the Ext4boost being a performance tweak and not a battery friendly one. Is that the reason you disable it?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
I don't disable it. :)

Actually to be honest I have noticed what you say as well, my phone feels faster. I presume the tweak helps to access various files/databases quicker thus helping dramatically when I'm multitasking.

Also, I tried it both ways and haven't noticed any adverse battery effects.
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Thanks a lot mate. Geko to the rescue :D It stays on then!

Btw, remember the discussions we had about giving 2-3 charging cycles after a kernel/rom flash? Well, Im getting fantasric battery life again. It was a true story.
[Galaxy S II General] :
you answered your own question mate;)...well i disable it as without it for me phone feels more than fast enough buddy...but again it is down to choice and yes it is more of a performance tweak than anything else
[Galaxy S II General] ASG11:
Here are my first results after a fresh kernel flash.

Siyah 2.6.13#122 (bfq+ondemand) + magicconfig = 1d20h52m with 5h34m screen on

N.E.A.K. 1.4.(bfq+ondemand) + magicconfig = 1d13h28m with 5h19m screen on

N.E.A.K. 1.4.1.(noop+conv+lion) + magicconfig = 1d21h1m with 5h06m screen on

Not bad for the first charging cycle ;). Maybe bfq+ondemand is better for my usage.

I will do further tests after 2-3 charging cycles with N.E.A.K. 1.4.1.. After that, I will report with pictures.

So far, Thanks geko95gek

[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
No reason not to turn it on then :D

Thanks for the info. I can see how quick my Homesceen loads, and especially all the picture frames. It used to take much longer, but since using EXT4boost it is much much faster.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Thanks for the explanation mate, its exactly what I was also trying to say in my previous post but you seem to ha e hit it on the spot.

CPU Speed when browsing

Dear gurus,

whats you cpu speed when browsing using stock internet browser, or any other browser (boat, dolphin)?

When I check using cpu spy, it always run on the highest clock (in this case 1200)?

I follow the recommended uv on the first post, neak kernel 1.4, noop + conservative and lionheart tweak enabled, running 200 - 1200 and for my case battery drain is worst than cfroot kernel.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] hughfollett:
Hi guys! If I need to change rom(or kernel), do I have to reset voltage control settings? I think so, but I want to be sure!! So if I remove the boot up settings through the app or flashable zip or the neak recovery option, that should be good, right? Thanks in advance, but I'm a bit scared and unexpert with uv or uc...!
[Galaxy S II General] Nos_20:
Going to give this a go.

I have just been on CF-Root kernel and use the power saving option from Samsung.

To use this am I best turning off the power saving option?

I have installed Siyah kernel from the Kitchen Pro app and set the options as in the OP.

Will let you know what happens!!
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Just go into Voltage Control, press Menu - Remove Boot Settings then reboot your phone. Once confirmed that settings have gone back to default then you can proceed with flashing another kernel.

Turn all that off mate. Also the LCD Power Adjustment in Display Settings.
[Galaxy S II General] hughfollett:
Thanks geko!! However I've just noticed that with voltage control I can't change cpu values... I want to uc to 800mhz but after reboot it returns to 1200.. I'm on noop+conservative+lionhearth tweaks... AFTR and SCHED_MC enabled... do I have to disable something? Thanks for your help geko, yo're great!
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Did you set it as boot settings in Voltage Control?
[Galaxy S II General] hughfollett:
Yes because if I delete the settings and then reconfigure the magicconfig plus the uc, saving as boot settings, the other things are set correctly... while the cpu clock is at 1200..
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Never noticed that option. I just turned it off. Any info on what that exactly did (since it was turned on by default)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
I'm thinking there is either a script or another app which is conflicting with Voltage Control.

[Galaxy S II General] tghandour:
I use Voltage Control saving the settings on /etc/unit.d

Check if you have other CPU setting apps installed like SetCPU or CPU Master as they might have different CPU range set that is overriding your VC settings.

Also make sure u r saving ur settings either the Recommended way or under /etc/init.d
[Galaxy S II General] hughfollett:
Thanks! I've not other apps for cpu settings... but how can I know how I'm saving my settings?? I mean either recommended way or in init.d??

But how can I choose between the 2?? Sorry but i'm not so expert!!!

SII powered by CheckRom and NEAK with the magic of MagicConfig
[Galaxy S II General] Honchay:
Yes! Im using the stock battery

Im using voltage control. But first, you need to remove any old boot settings you have before, including the NEAK options, to do that enter into recovery mode and select remove voltage settings.. and then put again the configuration and Save boot settings. Choose as startup service.

If still doesn't change, you need to clean your Init.d, have you applied a script or a config before saving it as init.d?
[Galaxy S II General] tghandour:
After applying your different settings for CPU, GPU, frequencies and voltage, Apply Changes then press the Menu button on ur phone and choose to Save your settings. A window will pop up asking you one of 2 ways to save your settings either in /etc/init.d or on an app file (Recommended).

I use the init.d one. To make sure your settings are saved use Root Explorere (ur phone must be rooted) and browse to /etc/init.d. you will afind a file called S91voltctrl script containing all your settings. You can view it using the text editor inside Root Explorer.
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Damn that's some sick results with a stock battery. Really feels bad when somebody with a 1650mAh gets better results then myself with a 2000mAh x"D It really depends on your usage though, since I believe I have exactly the same setup. 200-1000MHz conservative + noop, lionheart tweaks, all misc options checked (sched_mc, AFTR IDLE mode, Ext4boost). Or maybe it's because I have bad mobile network signal in my house... I don't know. Anyway, lately I have been getting between 4-5h screen time.

Question: do you use BLN? What about your brightness settings?

I do use BLN (which causes some wakelocks every time the capacitive buttons start blinking) and I have auto brightness enabled, but with JKay brightness profile "dark".

Btw, anybody here running NEAK kernel bought the Pro app from today? I upgraded to 1.4.2x and bought it. Removed voltage control app, using the NEAK pro app instead. Seems ok, though there are only 100-133MHz GPU frequency's and no 116MHz. You also can't edit BUS frequency's yet, but I always leave them kernel default.

I disabled Sched_mc since a few hours btw. After getting some information about it from big devs here (see NEAK thread, droidphile posted about it) it looks like it's better turned off. It has as good as no effect on our devices, even if the concept itself is good. And if I am not mistaken, having sched_mc OFF should get you faster deep sleep. But anyway, NEAK thread for more info.
[Galaxy S II General] Honchay:
I don't use BLN! But I use NoLed app for notifications.

And the auto brightness is enabled and auto energy adjust (without losing colors quality on the screen) and my jkay profile its in dark too like yours. Something interesting its that if I'll underclock the CPU to 200/800mhz my battery doesn't last as long compared with 200/1000mhz configuration.

About what you say! Im gonna take a look to that new info, Sched_mc... had not seen that post! Will give it a try.
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
NoLed, I tried that once myself. Didn't really understand how it worked to be honest (shame...I know) and I really like the idea of BLN. But yeah, from a batterylife comparing standpoint, I use BLN, you use NoLed, guess we both loose some battery life in the notification apps department.

About the more batterydrain on 800 vs 1000MHz. I think there is a point where underclocking becomes bad. I imagine it like this: with 800MHz, the phone takes longer to do some tasks. With 1000MHz, it's finished quicker, so less battery drain. But then again, 1000MHz seems to consume LESS then 1200MHz. So somewhere the underclocking might become bad... at least that's the only explanation I have for what you are saying.

I stick to 1000MHz though, 800 is hard to setup so it doesn't give lag for me. And I want my phone to remain powerfull and fast :p

I will test the battery life tomorrow without sched_mc. I will keep an eye out on general battery life (standby time, screentime) and on cpy spy... If I understood correct, I might get more deep sleep tomorrow because the phone goes into deep sleep faster (it's a pretty complicated text from Entropy about sched_mc)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Honestly, couldnt tell you if it makes much difference or not. I just remember that someone advised me to turn it off for better battery consumption and Ive had it off ever since.

Hmm....as others have suggested try using a kernel cleaning script, remove Voltage Control, reflash kernel

and set up MagicConfig again.

Thanks mate, it should help a lot of new users get the best performance out of N.E.A.K. Kernel.

Call me a noob, but i'm confused. I need a bit of help with these settings.

What I need to set in NEAK configuration app and what in magic config?

For instance how to set "Conservative + noop"? Pls help!

I'm getting only 6 to 7 hours of battery life...
[Galaxy S II General] MatangaChanga:
Man, the first post is very clear regarding magicconfig.

Use Voltage Control app to set voltages as described in the first post.

Regarding Neak Configurator app, there you check conservative and lionheart tweaks. Other options is up to you to check or not. I woukd advise you check them all and test them.

If you need anything else please let me know.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] suta:
hi, im using neak kernal, not siyah so i should set the low power state to 114mhz?
[Galaxy S II General] tghandour:
Yah sure..
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
I think it doesn't make so much difference in terms of battery life. 116 or 133MHz, the difference in battery life will be minimal. The MagicConfig in it's entire is a battery safer though.

@the guy having problems: first, download the NEAK configurator app. You will see options like "conservative" gouvener, which you enable and then after reboot it will be avaidable. When you enter the app "Voltage Control", you will see directly "schedular" and "gouvener". Just press on it and choose "noop" for schedular and "conservative" for gouvener. (The names you will see at default are VR as schedular and Lulzactive as gouvener, I think).

Then, you can go into the NEAk configurator app again, and enable "lionheart tweaks" and choose apply and reboot. After that, it will be turned on (you dont have to do anything else). Remember to have Conservative as the gouvener, because Lionheart tweaks just changes it so no conservative gouvener, no Lionheart tweaks profits.

I think I cant be clearer then this. Look at the screenshots in the first post for how it should look like. Also read the NEAK kernel thread if you have any more questions regarding NEAK specific options. Remember, MagicConfig is not an app/script or anything. It's a name for a couple of settings YOU have to change.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
This GPU frequency was upped from 100Mhz to 114Mhz because a few users started reporting that the lowest freq was causing issues for them (lags, game slowdowns, etc..).

However, if your device doesn't experience this phenomenon then you can safely use 100Mhz @ 850mV. I do! :)
[Galaxy S II General] Dark_Lord0122:
will you be adding ExTweaks to the guide ? ( for siyah kernel )

and could you please tell me how to UV the GPU? ( for some reason i cant do it like before using the Voltage Control Extreme.

Edit:

will Uv using ExTweaks but its weird that its not showing up in Voltage Control ...
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Didn't know that, thanks. As of now there are only 100 and 133MHz GPU steps via NEAK configurator pro app. I am using it now instead of Voltage control, it seems to do a fine job. Future updates will bring more options :)

Btw, I tested my battery life today WITHOUT sched_mc. Battery life seems the same, definatly not worse. Total deep sleep also seems the same, maybe a little bit better.
[Galaxy S II General] suta:
does the Theme animation(using Fly Animation), Go launcher animation. Haptic Feedback(sound/touch tone/Vibrate) when disabled, any noticable great improvement to the battery life? wanna to keep all these on.. it looks great.
[Galaxy S II General] tghandour:
When you install Extweaks you loose the GPU section in Voltage Control. It is something that GM is aware of and he promised Xan to solve in future Extweaks releases.

Anyway you can set all GPU settings using Extweaks for Siyah from the Extweaks GPU tab.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Honchay:
I have done test today with the same configuration as my last post without Sched_mc and it seems that have no difference on battery consumption, almost the same as my last screenshots. So, Droidphile its right. Sched_mc doesn't help to save battery

Keep them on then mate, turning them off wont have much effect on battery life. :)

Hey all

Just wanted to share my experience with this mod.

I'm on CheckROM v6, NEAK 1.4.2x and have MagicConfig configured as per OP with noop/lazy, Sched_mc disabled and EXT4 enabled.

I find this works quite well, but find that also configuring a SetCPU profile for 'Screen Off' with 200Mhz MAX and MIN helps save even more battery.

It works for me, so I thought others may want to know in case they want to give it a try :)
[Galaxy S II General] virus786:
quick question. i found this (v6 supercharger script) and want to know if it has any real-world improvements on the SGS2?

Also if it effects battery negatively? if not, would it be advised to install it?
[Galaxy S II General] LegendZenify:
That actually doesn't make sense...

Extweaks is an app developed by xan (in cooperation with GM).

To my understanding, xan actually updated VC to make the GPU tab mutually exclusive with Extweaks.

That is why the GPU tab in VC does not appear when Extweaks is installed.

It is not a problem in Extweaks to be solved, but a feature in VC.
[Galaxy S II General] tghandour:
That is what I read on Siyah thread as people complained about loosing the VC GPU settings when they first installed Extweaks and that was GM statement so I am not telling nonsense statement. You can review Siyah thread if you can't believe or see it does make sense..
[Galaxy S II General] tghandour:
I installed it a couple of days ago and testing it.. performance is unbelievable. It makes our SG S2 snappier and a lot faster and smoother.

Theoretically it has to save more battery as system gets more organized and faster to access its files and databases so less CPU load exerted, however I am still testing it.

Will post my current results asa I am done..
[Galaxy S II General] LegendZenify:
I have searched in posts by GM in the siyah thread for that statement you were talking about - nothing.

Then again I may have left something out, could you please direct me to that post?

The thread for Extweaks is here -http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1530147&page=6

You can review it, you will see that xan is the developer and publisher of the Extweaks app.

Also, you will see that xan updated VC to remove the GPU tab when Extweaks is installed.

Your statement didn't make sense since xan would be the one to solve it should such a problem exist in the Extweaks app, and there is no such problem in the Extweaks app to begin with (since the mutually exclusive gpu tab is actually a feature present in Voltage Control)
