Good to know our discussion have lead you do this tests. I hope it serves future developers and help them understand more about the ARM arch and it's power saving mechanics.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shoman94:
Thank you for your effort to make our devices better.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kedriastral:
This is very interesting. I don't know if you follow the transformer prime but they also released some new firmware that keeps all 4 cores on all the time. There is a lot of confusion about this on the tfp boards but with this data it just makes sense from a battery/performance standpoint. Very interesting.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rav4kar:
Thanks garyd9, I appreciate your efforts with this, may be things will be different shortly once we have quad core processors in place with one core completely dedicated to power management. Keep up good work!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Entropy512:
Interesting... This says to me that there is something wrong with the chip's power management features, at least as implemented on the P6210.

One thing though - with the screen on, some of the lower CPU power consumption numbers are going to get "lost in the noise" - With your idle tests, you're trying to measure something on the order of tens of milliamps with the screen drawing on the order of 600 mA. As an example - when sitting idle and wakelocked at 200 MHz with screen off, my I777 consumes just over 1%/hour battery. As in, total system power represents only 20-30 mA of average consumption, including the cell radio and wifi.

The P6210 has, in theory, a superior cpuidle driver to the I9100, I777, and Note (with the exception of my kernel and SiyahKernel now that they have backports of the 6210's cpuidle driver) - However hotplugging in the second core makes this change irrelevant, as all idle states beyond basic clock gating (IDLE state) are locked out when the second core is online.

Your results are interesting in that they don't make sense - power gating an entire core when idle should save power by reducing static consumption (which is going to be maximized at 1.2 GHz), but that's not happening in this case. The question is why? I wonder if having USB plugged in is causing some of the cpuidle op checks to fail, or is causing enough interrupt or timer events that cpuidle isn't even selecting deeper states.

As an experiment - when you are idle on a single core with the screen full-on, check the cpuidle statistics after some time to see if it is attempting to enter deeper idle states. Note: Failing op-checks within the cpuidle driver itself won't get reflected as spending time in lower (worse) states, the statistics only report what the cpuidle governor selected, not what it actually got. An Exynos/Hummingbirdism is that one can select one idle state and get a worse one without knowing it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] garyd9:
It might be a couple days before I can do further testing... my paying job has certain expectations. ;) My wife has even greater expectations.

I needed the screen at full brightness to keep a negative drain on the battery while testing (to prevent it from actually charging and then the charging circuit dropping to trickle mode.) I want to redo portions of the test when the battery is already at or below 50%, but with the screen off and the tablet in "airplane" mode. I don't think wifi pulls enough power to have an impact, but it doesn't hurt to disable it. I also want to add something to pull the battery current stats even when the tablet isn't connected to a cable... That will require a bit of a branch. ;)

Where are the cpuidle stats you'd like pulled?

This was intented as a brute force question of: "Does having the second core offline save power given equal workloads?" One of the parameters of the test was to prevent overall system suspend. It's quite possible that allowing the second core to go offline does save power, but not within the limited parameters I tested for. The cpuidle code shouldn't really have played a part in this...

The ramifications that this might have on the cpuidle code are interesting, though.

It looks like I'm not done testing. ;)

Take care

Gary
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Entropy512:
I won't be able to hunt down the locations for the idle states until tonight.

However as I mentioned in my kernel thread, there is evidence that having an active USB connection may fire enough interrupts or timer events to stop AFTR from being chosen, given AntwanL's experiences with the MFC/cpuidle interoperability issues - locking out AFTR manually eliminated the problems, but for him, just plugging USB into a computer also blocked the problems.

It's tests like this that make me really want to wire up a dummy battery with a current sensor... Such a pain in the ass but potentially so worth it!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
I came to Android from Blackberry. Whether it was the old trackball or the optical trackpad, it was possible to adjust the sensitivity, thus adjusting your scrolling speed. Set the sensitivity lower, you have smoother, slower, line-by-line scrolling. Higher, and you have faster scrolling that jumps page by page. I know most people probably dont use the trackpad on the sk4g because it is touchscreen, but i would be interested to know if there is a way to adjust the sensitivity of the trackpad? anyone who knows please reply.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
Nope not that i know of. you could ask the mt3g og forums they have a track ball
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
no disrespect, but "not that i know of" is not a definitive answer. secondly, why would i ask the mt3g forum? its a completely different device, in case you werent aware.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
Well they have a trackball like blackberries had and also this issue hasn't been asked before on sk4g xda forums
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
can i hear from anyone else?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] BulletProof2088:
Yeah I don't think you can adjust sensitivity. Never seen it before.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] MrKickstand:
Not as of yet, personally im looking into it since no one else really has, and as you can tell the development on this device is kinda of lacking. But maybe there is a app from the MT4G or some other phone with an optical track pad that will work. Im looking into this.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Paulenski:
Are you doing this on v20 baseband?

I also have trouble with data on nightly's. I know DJ posted on the cyanogen forum today, saying Adam got a new Sim (128k, the ones causing problems) for testing. There should be a fix soon, fixing this problem.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bambu85:
Yes. Is your carrier's APN information available to try all that I wrote above?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] deniso177:
You should be able to get all your apn information from your carrier provider even if cyanogenmod doesnt have it.

Apn is nothing to do with being a veteran cm user or that, you used to always have to enter that kind of stuff in the old phones when you used g and 3g, in my case my carrier would sms me the settigs automatically, such as it still does for my nokia e63
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bambu85:
Good to know!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] geoemm:
I have installed the nightlyfoure v3.8 and I am not getting 3g.I am getting edge connection. When I activate 3g it shows I have only gprs. I live in a place where 3g is available and I have v20g baseband.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TheBlackHawkJr:
Can you also tell us the procedure to edit/overwrite the original apns-config.xml if you did so? Thank you dude :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bambu85:
Is your carrier listed in either of the links I posted about in step 8 or 9?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bambu85:
I didn't edit 'apns-conf.xml', but I did find my carrier information in the link I posted in step 9) and typed it in manually into Access Point Names.

I suppose you could edit the apns-conf.xml file either in the source code, and compile CM7 yourself (time consuming). Or you could use the adb program that comes with the Android developer kit, and shell into the rooted phone (to see it, do: adb shell; cd /etc; ls). You could then probably edit it in place (might be risky), or pull the file, edit it, and then push it back with various adb commands that you can google :)

The code.google.com link I posted above might be the best way to request your APN details get added to the file in the next CM7 release.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TheBlackHawkJr:
Perfect, thanks :) but wait wait wait! You also faced the "not able to save APNs" problem? Also, I've just found out that my carrier (Vodafone IT) is listed among other carriers in APNlist you've linked... what's the deal?

(please be patient with me dude, I might seem really dumb but... I'm learning as I go :) )
[Optimus One, P500, V General] laz3r69:
My provider's APN is already added.

But sometimes, it fails to connect to DATA let it be 2G/3G.

Reboot solves it....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dylanparrish:
Same issue.. pushed the updated apn-conf.xml to /etc but in my settings where the apns should show up do not. I also can not save the apn when i manually input it. (tmobile)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bambu85:
I did not encounter this problem. Does anyone else have any input on this issue?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] NahsiN:
Thank you bambu85 I was stuck in the same situation for the longest time. I am using oxygen mod and your post helped me greatly. Data is now working! Sure the information might already be there but for us koodoers it's not so easy to decipher. Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] luke1987:
I haven't themed in awhile and in the past never had a problem with 7zip. I am trying to theme a keyboard (that has multiple themes) and keep coming up with an uninstallable apk. I have tried many things, but I will cut right to the part that makes me believe 7zip is the culprit.

I have 2 working themes. I extracted the raw-hdmi from one theme, took 1 png out of the folder and dropped it into the other zip (background png, same size - different color).

1. Both themes are same version keyboard

2. Theme I tried installing wasn't extracted/archived

3. Theme installed fine before I dropped the 1 png into apk

This makes me think it must be 7zip, maybe a compression deal...

any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Or whatever else is out there..

Yea I would need help.. lol

I can see a battery I would like.. But not sure after I choose it what to do..

I do not have a rom and really, after a year of messing with them over and over on my EVO, I think this phone is almost perfect as it is right now..

I used T-backup to remove most of the bloat and battery life is AWESOME!! so I don't see a need for a rom right now..

How would I get the battery zip for just the stock phone using that UOT kitchen ? thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ellac49:
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2qyU5yL0fE&feature=player_embedded)

the hardest part imo:

you'll need to make a copy of your stock rom's twframework-res.apk, framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk..

both twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk are located /system/framework and SystemUI.apk is locate \system\apps

I do this using root explorer but other root file managers will do the trick..

once you've got the three files saved to your computer go ahead and start creating your mods making sure to check each mod you wish to add to the stock rom.

once you've added\edited all the mods selected, click on the "file upload" tab.

choice the type-galaxy for the binary update then update your own files (all 3 for stock)..

click on the "summery" tab and submit

wait about 5-10 minutes and it will be ready!!!

Hope I helped..

ps... I know stock battery is great but if you feel the need to flash one rom out there... TDJ's Digital Warfare is amazing and nearly twice the battery... yup... twice :)

Try this. Original inversion credit goes to travp624 over at rootzwiki, and the icons are mine. I use corporate email exclusively too, and run AOKP 4.0.3- it works great.

How did you install it? I threw it in /system/app (there wasn't already an email.apk) and now I keep getting an error when the phone is on that "Email has stopped"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Aha. You must be running a different rom that still has the other email apk. (called googlemail.apk or something like that.) This is only for 4.0.3 roms like aokp or similar. sorry about that. Just delete mine and push a copy of your old one back. If you don't have a backup, just pull one out of the rom you use and push it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syndac:
Yes and no. I'm using the Apex ROM on 4.0.3. Any way around this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
Honestly I'm not familiar with Apex. The OP on rootz said it was compatible with "most" 4.0.3 roms. If it's extremely important to use exchange email, AOKP is an amazing rom and the file i sent works great.

I've read on the Buoyancy thread that BLN does not work for text messages. This happened to me too, and after some research, I've found that this is linked to the fact that the screen turns on when a text message is received in the stock messaging app. BLN Control does NOT work when the screen turns on and goes back off, it behaves like the notification event has already taken place. See

www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/darky-rom-10-2-bln.4280/#post-82098

We seem to have a similar issue here. Google and it will give you more examples of this problem.

Possible fixes:

1). Use a third party solution like Go SMS Pro or Handcent and make sure the "Screen On" setting is disabled in notifications. Disable all notifications in Stock messaging app.

2). Try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1369340 (I haven't tried this apk, I don't like the stock app anyway). I don't know if this is different from the cm7 mms.apk floating around which is causing the FCs.
