On guestekrnL v1.8.1-BestBattery, which one for battery is the best, enable or disable?

:D
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
For battery, Fsync on should be better.

But I've no higher drain with Fsync off on my FlixEdition 1.3.1 Power.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kostja_V:
TrymHansen,

For me patch is working quite well, but i'm using it only in car. Because without it, I can't use GPS+High brightness and charge my O2x in the same time))) Looks like in USB Device Mode phone drains the same ammount of battery as is it uses for GPS.

spica1234,

I understand and fully support your position, no, really. That's why I HAVE bought this widget, when the patch was released. The problem is that I prefer minimalism in home screen appearance (just 2 screens, with 4-5 widgets), and I just can't find place for Fast AC widget where it looked normally. That's why I switched to script method and wrote the previous post, because I thought that it would be great to control all OTF features from the one place.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Ok. What I will do is to release an experimental version. People can then test the various options, see if it's working for them. I will release this version with no promise that it'll be included in future versions.

Will probably release tomorrow or day after tomorrow. (Need to make some additional code to check for the plugged-in status to only allow changing the setting when device is unplugged, settings only take effect when device gets plugged in.)
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
GuesteOC 2.1.6 Experimental

Here it is, an experimental version of GuesteOC which will allow you to change the fast/slow charge settings in kernels 1.8.1 and above.

If any of you are wondering how this is supposed to work, look here.

Activating either slow or fast charge is supposed to disable USB, remember that when you plug it in and can't get ADB or mass-storage to work.

EDIT: There's something wrong with XDA file-uploads again, will try to re-upload tomorrow.Fixed now, I think.

EDIT2: Found a bug, will reupload when I've fixed it.

TrymHansen

Just installed your GuesteOC216Exp , but I am getting force close massage all the time. I did not manage to run it at all. :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] brudy:
I installed too, and works perfectly.

TrymHansen please put some explanation from the new options to the help tab in the app and/or in here. If I want charge fast with my notebook USB or with my car charger, what option do that? Is this method safety for battery?

Thank you so much your work, and your fantastic app.
[LG Optimus 2x] Golleman:
I got that too. I manually uninstalled (via titanium bu), then reinstalled the downloaded apk, and no more fc's.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
This is an experimental version to find out if it works properly or not, so not help yet. If it makes it into a final version it will be there.

Look at the thread I linked to a few posts up to read about safety and anything else.

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

:confused: here as well. Cannot reproduce, try to redownload and install again. If that does not work uninstall all old versions and reinstall.Found the reason, new version below.
[LG Optimus 2x] brudy:
It works properly to me.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Thanks for the feedback, here's a new version which hopefully will fix the FC. (Stupid mistake by me.)

If you try this version: The point is to find out if fast or slow charge is working as expected. So please try to slow-charge on wall-charger and fast-charge on car-chargers etc. and see if it works. Also check that automatic mode works as expected.

(You can download Myrt Torture Tester from the app-section to quickly drain the battery.)
[LG Optimus 2x] louiscypherbr:
On the new guesteOc, I'm getting fc's when trying to turn on swap or compcache. Zram works Ok.

Charge mode looks doing its job, at least changing the config file correctly; since it's the only thing that it's suppose to do (the charge time depends on the patch itself and its implementation on the kernel), great job!
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Hmm, strange, I haven't touched that code at all in this version. Anyone else seeing this?

Indeed, we need to find out if the kernel patch is working correctly in all circumstances.
[LG Optimus 2x] mrQQ:
best part about this kernel is that it is rock stable. Been running 1.8.1 since it's been released, not a single bsod or lockup or reboot :) awesome!
[LG Optimus 2x] body150165:
2 questions:

1) i am running v20q with HP kernel sr3r2 and pp10r. If i want to switch to gueste 1.8.1, do i have to do something special or just flash it?

2) spica kernel obviously does not support readouts of the cpu for cpyspy or setcpu (statistics how much time spent at certain speeds). Does guestekrnl support this feature?
[LG Optimus 2x] louiscypherbr:
1). No, just flash it

Edit: I realized that you used pp10, and I think that it converts partitions to ext4. Some time ago, there were a discussion if ext4 support was being useful or not, so I'm not sure that it is supported.

2). I'm almost sure that this kernel doesn't support it also.
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
EXT4 is supported by the kernel and recommended. I use EXT4 with the EXT4 tweaks, too. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] louiscypherbr:
I'm using your 20q rebuild with its tweak and my system is still on ext3.. Witch tweak are you talking about?
[LG Optimus 2x] barril:
Hello I use the kernel with the new V20S and ext3. All without problems

You can try ext4, it's faster and smoother. Here's a cwm zip containing the ext4 converter by Benee and the ext4 Tweaks by topogigi:

[LG Optimus 2x] Platoon:
I can only confirm this. Kernel is more stable than supersonic kernel and i dont notice that is any slower. Actually i havent got any BSODs or reboots till now. CM7 was completely different story. Even with stock kernel, phone was not stable. Non-stock versions were even more unstable, especially latest versions of Etana 3.0.x kernel.

Another thing.Gueste OC app is also great!
[LG Optimus 2x] stonebear:
I have been using Gueste kernels for a while now and they are great and yea, I love the OC app too. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] peterpao:
Hi

I'm using 1.8.1 best battery kernel and i have fast battery drain, worst than stock kernel. What can it be?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Any feedback on force fast/slow charge?
[LG Optimus 2x] louiscypherbr:
Yes. My device is working properly regarding USB charge mode. However, I'm having troubles trying to use it as USB mass storage. I have to reboot it to make it work after changes in charge mode, to copy files from/to my PC using USB cable after that.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Just to be clear: It does not work after unplugging it, selecting auto, then plugging it in? (Both fast and slow charge is supposed to disable USB, but only fast charge does.)
[LG Optimus 2x] louiscypherbr:
Yes.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Thanks for the feedback. I will leave it as it is then, and not integrate the fast-charge options in the official version of GuesteOC. Those who still want to use it can of course download 2.1.6 Exp2.

Virtual memory swapiness?

Can someone explain us the usage of virtual memory swapiness setting on guesteoc 2.1.5 ?

The default setting is 50.

What is the affect of increasing or decreasing this setting regarding the performance and may be the battery consumption?

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 2x] aigaming:
When i was back on wildfire s we had alot of governors to choose from which saved battery,gave performance or did balance.

My question is, why this kernels for optimus 2x don't have option to change governors inside?(as i can see they run on performance governors) ? Tnx

what values does stock kernel use for second core activation?
[LG Optimus 2x] jimguitar:
Ext3 to ext converter

Hi Flix,

I am using STOCK v20s Europe moded by Flix123 with Tweak Pack 1.1 noFD by Flix123 and kernel guestekrnL-FlixEdition-v1.3.1-Power new.

Can i use the converter that you mentioned above in order to convert the current ext3 to ext4 without lose any data?

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
I think the default values are:

Second core activation frequency: 666

Second core de-activation frequency: 366

Second core activation time: 1500ms

Second core de-activation time: 1000ms

This is second-hand information diluted through time and possible memory loss, so I cannot guarantee this is correct.
[LG Optimus 2x] mrQQ:
is ext4 really smoother/faster?
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
Yes, just flash it, wipe Cache partition and Dalvik Cache and you have a tweaked ext4 filesystem. ;)

In my opinion yes. There are different opinions (some people say ext3 is better), but a tweaked ext4 filesystem should be the best choice.

I compared ext3 and ext4 on a fresh installed V20s, and ext4 with the tweaks was smoother and a bit faster.
[LG Optimus 2x] mrQQ:
what about battery?
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
I didn't test ext3 for a long time, so I don't know if ext3 consumes more/less power. You have to try for yourself. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] mrQQ:
is there a way to go back to ext3 without data loss?
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
The only possibility is to make a cwm backup before converting to ext4.
[LG Optimus 2x] jimguitar:
I followed your instructions but i've got a boot loop after lg appears:crying:

I just remind you my status:

STOCK v20s Europe moded by Flix123 with Tweak Pack 1.1 noFD by Flix123 and kernel guestekrnL-FlixEdition-v1.3.1-Power new.

Am i missing something or the converter is mismatched with my configuration?
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
Try to reflash the kernel after the ext4 converter.

[LG Optimus 2x] mrQQ:
did anyone ever find a difference between your two builds? how is battery compared to 1.8.1?

edit: considering same ov/2nd core settings ofc
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
Flix kernel power edition, i tried it is good and very good with battery mrqq.
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
The "new" build has newer companions in the toolchain, that should result in unknown battery life. ;)

I didn't try the 1.8.1 kernel, but my powerkernel has a good battery life. The only thing decreasing the battery life in the kernel is the short 2nd core activation time :P (you can change it in the OC tool).
[LG Optimus 2x] jimguitar:
The default setting of your kernel for 2nd core activation is10ms.

What is your suggestion for a balanced setting between performance and low consumption ? Let's say 50ms, less or more?
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
There's no real difference between 10 and 50 ms. You have to consider that for yourself. In Stefans kernel, the default value is 1500 ms but I don't like the lag when I start scrolling in apps. ;)

So everyone has to find the best value for himself.
[LG Optimus 2x] Jimboi2008:
Thank you for the Good Kernel :) - guestekrnL-FlixEdition-v1.3.1-Power
[LG Optimus 2x] louiscypherbr:
I tried the flix-v.1.3.1-power-new version. It has better battery life in usage (screen on), while in standby is almost the same.

However, it has a bug: music clicks with screen off, even putting the max screen off frequency at more than 600MHz.

I'm reverting to 1.3.1-power version, for some days, untill I get time to compare battery usage with screen on with the last Stephan's one.

Anyway, really thank you two for the wonderfull kernels. Their stability is reflected in the absence of posts here from the last 10 days!

Hi, friend :)

I've been (and still am) busy in finishing my studies and diploma thesis lately!

My final thesis for one study is already done (123 pages + some months of web development) and has been bound as a book last week:

My final examen will be on Sept. 28th -- after this I'll continue as doctoral student / PhD student or whatever it is called in other countries :) And I'll also have to write a thesis for my second study someday, but not this year anymore :D

I'm planning to work on a new version of my CM7/Stock Hybrid Rom this weekend because people still seem to like it!

Apart from this I have been using Django Manouche + guestekrnL 1.8.1 (battery saving edition) for about two months until yesterday without performing any changes, so I got a very good impression about every day use:

- my phone has run rock solid all the time

- for some weeks I constantly ran the phone at 1,5 GHz without any problems / reboots / freezes

- during the constant 1,5 GHz use battery still didn't drop drastically faster than on 1.0 GHz and partly I didn't recognize any differences

- Scrolling was butter smooth, only problem was that it became somehow sluggish after a few days of up-time. I played around a bit and after starting using VR scheduler and always fully (100%) loading battery when loading, my phone stayed smooth even after several days of up-time, don't ask me why

For me the 1.8.1 kernel release (best battery edition) has proven to be perfectly stable even at high OC, very smooth and also energy-saving.

I'm sure Flix' editions are too, as the base is the same and Flix surely has done a good job :)

Yesterday I tried Owain's ICS build + Harsh kernel. In fact it has been the first time for me to try ICS and I must say I'm quite impressed, runs flawlessly and smooth so far! Also I like the kernel. I've thought about maybe someday forking it and migrating some guestekrnL features (those available in GuesteOC by Trym) to harsh kernel and releasing the changes/sources too. (I don't plan to start an own CM9 ICS kernel, maybe Stock, but stock won't get ICS it seems)

Yeah that's pretty much it for now :)

See ya!

Step by step, can you guys tell me what i have to do please?
[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
Weird, you actually say you get a text telling you to install hp performance pack using stock kernel?

No, you don't have to do anything, if you install performance pack you must install kernel afterwards(or first if it's the situation). Don't panic man, hp pp probably don't corporate with stock and give you bootloop. Now, if you're rooted on stock you can wipe cache and dalvik cache, install hp pp10-r(ext3),install hp ss 21r, reboot :)

"disable 2nd core" and "buffer size" ir OC tool does not stick - reverts to default after reboot.

[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
Seems that your rom doesn't support init.d.

Just flash the old guestekrnL-v1.6.2-Final (it brings you the init.d support) and after a reboot flash my kernel again. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] mrQQ:
it does support it - all the other settings stick (it's djm 1.2.1)
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
The buffer sizes and io-schedulers will under certain circumstances not be remembered correctly after reboot (file-ownership issue), this is true. (I was waiting for more stuff to fix before bothering to update guesteOC, but nothing popped up, and I forgot about it.)

The 2nd core de-activation setting, however, should have no such issues. Try to delete /data/gueste2/use_second_core, then change the setting, reboot and see if that helps.

EDIT: To fix the buffer/scheduler thingy, set owner of the files block0... and block1... to root.

thing is, the scheduler itself is remembered, just not the buffer size

i/o scheduler settings

Hi stefan,

Can you please give us your recommendation about i/o scheduler settings.

Noop is better than sio and what read ahead size should we choose, 512(default) , smaller like 128 or maybe bigger 1024, 2048?

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 2x] Stefan Gündhör:
I've switched scheduler multiple times on my own phone and had different favorites every now and then. Noop sure is nice. Lately i preferred VR scheduler with 128k read ahead, because phone suddenly didn't get that laggy after a few days!

On CM7 I'm using SIO + 256k at the moment .. but on stock try VR, worked well for me!
[LG Optimus 2x] jimguitar:
Thanks Stefan,

Are your recommendations (about VR-128k) for both internal and external card or you suggest different settings for the external?

Would it make sense introducing morfic's optimization like in ICS Harsh's kernel or is something similar already included?
[LG Optimus 2x] mrQQ:
hello,

there is no such file :(

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

for a long time i've somehow suspected that io scheduler causes lag, because when phone gets laggy, changing it solves the issue. I've noticed that noop gets laggy after few days, while sio doesnt seem to (or at least to much lesser degree).

GuesteOC updated to 2.1.8

o Change virtual memory size from GUI. (/data/gueste2/scripts no longer used or needed.)

o Fixes a bug where, if someone uninstalled the app from /system/app and installed another to /data/app, some IO-settings would not be saved.

o on kernels which support ram-hack (only symbi0sis at the present time): Change and apply ramhack-size from GUI.

NOTE: 2.1.8 does not support fast charge. If you want to use that you need to use 2.1.6 exp2.
