The Sims Freeplay

EA has just released a new version of their game - "The Sims"

This is an extended version of the earlier game. It's a good casual game. Graphics are good and it's running really good on our Defy. It's free of cost too.

Requires ~400MB of SD space for Defy

Market Link : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ea.games.simsfreeplay_row

Tested on WIUI 2.2.17 and CM9 build from 10 Feb by Quarx

This game sucks. It's just one of those games that "beg you for money" all the time. And in addition, the game is in real time. Yes! Real time! Therefor if you want to plant potatoes, then you cannot play with your sim for 14 hours :@ (which by the way is nowhere near realistic!).

Agriculture earns more than a job in the game, and don't even get me started on the jobs.. ><

1 job = you cannot play with your sims from 9am to 5pm every day. What kind of game is that? Games are meant to distract and spend time on. This one is simply opening the app, doing 1 action and closing the app untill it is finished hours later.

Here's a well explained opinion/test of this game. And i don't like it at all.

P.S of course you can allways speed things up by constantly paying gameloft, but that's just theft! It's only a game if you pay for it to be one. Sure i was happy in the beginning, but after that you'll realise this game is utter bull****

I am new to this. I got my phone rooted and dowloaded the zip file for the rebel rom for this phone to my computer. What do I do now?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Yokotaashi:
solution

Chances are you've already gotten an answer, but I need to get my 10 noob posts so here goes.

Always start with a good backup. At least apps you want to get back. Backups usually are stored online or somewhere the ROMwipe can't get to it so just run the backup however you want.

If you don't have CWM flashed already, do so.

Connect your phone to your computer and enable USB transfer mode.

Make sure you have the USB driver for your phone installed on your computer.

Access your phone's primary SD card (usually the first one that shows up in My Computer).

Move the rebelrom .zip file directly onto that drive (the root) without extracting it or renaming it.

Properly deactivate USB mode and disconnect from computer.

Restart the phone in CWM recovery mode (hold the volume up and power key to turn on, then continue holding volume up until the splash screen comes up).

Start with "ROMwipe". Don't worry, your backup will be fine, and you will remain in recovery the whole time.

"Install .zip from SD card" next.

See where I'm going with this?

Just like the title says.. Do a full wipe when you get a new ROM or upgrade.. its really irritating when people ask if they need to, then someone doesn't, gets a million and one fc's and can't figure out why... It's not that hard people.. backup your stuff and spend the 5/10 min restoring it.. don't have time because of work or family??? There is this magical thing called a bathroom.. use it... By the time you are done, your phone is restored back to normal. I honestly don't care if you want to try without reflashing, but then don't report bugs if you choose to do that.

I haven't done any objective tests (too busy playing with it) but mine has been great. I'm rooted and overclocked. I've enabled the lowest power stepping, my battery power has been phenomenonal and getting better. Inverted apps, dark themes, great deep idle and a massive stock battery I fully expect the g -note to shape up as a new standard in phone battery life.

You've must have something, a background service, something like that, and it is chewing up your electrons. Have you checked your battery stats? If you can't find a power thief return it, or at least exchange the battery. With millions of batteries there has got to be a few bad ones. Until then, can you post a battery usage graph?

I've always found it wise to run the battery to full charge/complete discharge a time or two to calibrate the battery

When I got my skyrocket new, I drained the battery down to 20% in 5 hours, then it took another 5 hours to drain that. Afterwards, the battery "appeared" to last longer. Today is my "kill the battery" day.

[Nexus S General] bedalus:
Spreadsheet of Governor Power Use

BENCHMARK DATA

Summary

Out of the five most popular governors (ondemand, conservative, smartassV2, lazy, and lulzactiveV2) which one can save the most battery?

Total power use is calculated from the mA drain at the frequency x the %age of time spent at that frequency. mA drain figures available here.

Best Power Saving Governors

Best for Screen ON: Ondemand

Best Screen ON + performance: SmartassV2

- Good choice if you need a performance governor with some power saving

- SmartassV2 is also the winner of the governor benchmark: here.

What about when my Screen is OFF?

Best Governor for Screen OFF

Without Deep Idle: Same as Screen ON > Ondemand

With Deep Idle: Any governor...

...now it get's technical...

...Why 'any'? If you look at the spreadsheet, on average, with music ON and the screen OFF, the difference between the best (smartassV2) and worst drain (lazy) is 0.05mA (a tiny amount). Harrb already did a 10 hour test to establish how much each governor drains the battery while using deep idle:

Harbb's spreadsheet

Here's two of Harbb's results (phone's own stats for battery drain with matr1x):

- 23% - Lazy with DI

- 15% - SmartassV2 with DI (35% more efficient)

And my results (mA drain using matr1x):

- 0.30mA - Lazy with DI

- 0.24mA - SmartassV2 with DI (20% more efficient)

Harbb's result is the most reliable, as my original battery drain mA readings were all somewhat approximated due to the difficulties of reading accurately off a small scale on the analogue amp meter, especially when the scale is logarithmic and the mA drain is in the lower register. This means, if I assume my Smartass mA reading is correct, then my Lazy reading should be 0.405mA

While playing music, with the screen off, with DI enabled,

over a period of 1 hour:

a constant drain of 0.240mA = 864mA

a constant drain of 0.405mA = 1458mA

So choosing SmartassV2 over Lazy would prevent about 600mA being wasted in one hour. To put this in context, that is enough to power your screen for 3 seconds (assuming a drain of 200mA).

Since it will take about 3 seconds to change your governor, in practice, it would be a waste of effort to bother. Pick your preferred governor for screen ON, and don't worry about what happens while the screen is off (again, only if you have deep idle. If you don't, but want some power savings with the screen off, choose ondemand).

F.A.Q.

[Q] But Harbb's data clearly shows that the battery drain is much better under smartassV2. How can you say governor choice doesn't make a difference?

[A] Harbb's result is an 8% benefit over ten hours, so in one hour it's a 0.8% benefit. It's not a very practical amount.

For more battery saving tips, see my battery drain thread: here.

[Nexus S General] bedalus:
Conservative is not the Best

When the screen is ON, i.e. the phone is in active use. Generally Conservative does not save power. This is because most developers have included a tweaked version of conservative that keeps the frequency at its highest state for longer to improve the responsiveness.

There is one exception where conservative saves more power than other governors, and that is when the screen is off, music is on, deep idle is on, and this only applies specifically to Air Kernel. However, we are talking about a tiny amount of power (for more detail, see the first post.)

PLEASE NOTE: Steve Garon does not include deep idle, but is working on it, neither does Eugene, but I've asked him to consider it. For these two kernels, if you are listening to music with the screen off, currently, the best power saving governor is Ondemand.
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
UPDATE: Summary now includes more detail.

I was unable to complete the necessary details and caveats when I first opened the thread as I desperately needed sleep! Hopefully someone can check over my conclusions and make sure they all add up.
[Nexus S General] tchaari:
Awesome Benchmark again bedalus. Very instructive ;)

I would add these points to the conclusions:

- There is a big difference in governors power consumption when screen is on (more than 10 mA between the best and the worst against a small 0.05 mA difference when screen is off)

- Conservative is the worst governor for screen on usage according to the benchmarks (Taking this point with reserves because conservative was tweaked by kernel developers).

- If we have a high "screen on" usage, onDemand will save us so much power

- If we have a low "screen on" usage, it should be better using SmartassV2 and have the best performance for the little time we use the phone :)

Waiting for your feedback on this bedalus.

Bedalus is loving benchmarking too much that sometimes, he tries to benchmark his benchmarks :D
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
0.05mA difference: good point. I should probably mention that in the OP.

Yeah, conservative sucked pretty badly on all four of the kernels. Weird.

For me, all I do now is use my phone to check XDA, and I don't use it with the screen off, so I can save power with ondemand. But smartassV2 is provides a very smooth experience. What do I want more? Battery life or smoothness? Hmm... decisions, decisions...

EDIT: Just noticed your benchmark benchmark idea. Only if I am not sleeping.
[Nexus S General] tchaari:
If you found that the last two points are useful, can you also integrate them in the OP too?

Yes it was a surprise to me too but when joining your benchmark results and the theoretical basics of conservative, it all makes sense. Conservative is taking too much time to compute a task (scaling up slowly). It also scales down too slowly when finishing. This is noticeable especially in discontinued use like browsing.

I don't think that you can "feel" the performance difference between ondemand and smartassV2 in such tasks. it should be better to stick to ondemand in this case I think :)
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
Yeah, testing ondemand now, back on slim ics, feels the same as smartass.

I'll look at the OP tomorrow, early night for me today.

kernels ; battery ; ROM ; gov/sched
[Nexus S General] tchaari:
I hope you will sleep smoothly now that this benchmark is finished ;)
[Nexus S General] deetailed:
Can you indicate what schedulers you use for each of the governors? In my experience schedulers also have an effect to battery life so it'd be good to see whether they're the same or different.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
nice work.. AGAIN :)

so this explains why im happiest with ondemand.
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
You could visit bedalus' other benchmark thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1478418&page=1 and see which fits your taste best.

Anyway, great job on this new benchmark thread, bedalus.

I can't believe that you would actually go further on this.

Looking at your results, the best for me would be ondemand.

I rarely used my phone, only for messaging and XDA-ing :D, so most of the time the screen is off.

And as tchaari said, I couldn't see any difference between ondemand and smartassV2 in terms of performance.

Once again, thanks bedalus
[Nexus S General] AeroEchelon:
Frankly, I thought everything that could be benchmarked already was. However, this data proves even more useful! Thanks, bedalus.

Now there is nothing left to tweak on my phone!
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
There is ALWAYS more to tweak on our phones :)

Good work bedalus, your lack of sleep truly amazes me. I think we can enhance this a bit more by messing around a little with modified conservatives though. It shouldn't be very difficult at all to scale it down far quicker. I'm doing a couple of usage tests with various conservative settings and will let you know if i get any setups that may fit the bill.

As we know, conservative can easily give better performance than ondemand if told to, but i reckon we can get the best of both worlds. Does anyone know where i'd be looking to find the defaults of each governor in the kernel source? Saves me kernel crackflashing.
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
To save me trying to copy and paste on my phone this early on the morning, just follow the link below to gov/sched and you'll see a summary in the first post about which scheduler goes best with which governor, e.g. ondemand and noop.

kernels ; battery ; ROM ; gov/sched
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
Does morfic tweak on demand, I can't remember, I think I read it somewhere... ?

For completeness, and to save Harbb from becoming an emaciated crackflasher like us, I might just go through all the governers for each kernel I tested and note their settings down in the third post.
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
I think he was asking which scheduler you used with this benchmark. I'd bet it's deadline.

edit: bedalus, at least give me a couple of kernels to do and i'll note them down. You've had enough fun :)
[Nexus S General] deetailed:
Ah, I don't mean to ask what scheduler is recommended for each governor (because I've already got that info from your gov/sched thread :)). Like Harbb said, I'm just asking that the specific scheduler used in this battery-saving benchmark is mentioned, whether you use the recommended for each or use the same scheduler for all of them (also I'm a she, not he :p). Every phone is different and usage habits vary too, so I like to replicate the setup of benchmark winners to see if what you find best is best for me too.
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
My apologies deetailed. At least i got something right :)

As i said before, it is most likely deadline that was used since it has very uniform capabilities with each governor. Clarification would definitely be nice though, lack of sleep can do weird things.
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
After repeatedly flashing all the kernels, ROMs, and trying all the governor / scheduler combinations that are possible, I've become attuned to the device. For some people they may 'feel' the difference intuitively, others might imagine a difference. But for me, I've had over ten years of practice in timing tiny fractions of a second, all thanks to sound engineering. For example, I used to add Haas delays to close mic'ed instruments to simulate 'early reflections', giving the psychoacoustic impression of greater depth and imagining to these instruments in the mix. These delays are anywhere from 5ms to 40ms.

For me, smartassV2 will always go from input on the touchscreen to an animated transition virtually instantaneously, but with ondemand, if you are coming from an idle state, there is always a little delay. It's tiny, maybe 100ms, but for a sound engineer, 100ms is a huge gulf.
