you can clear both caches anytime you want. In fact, I do so every two weeks or so just to keep everything running smooth as silk.

The only side-effect is that the phone takes longer to boot the first time after wiping the caches...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
That's why I don't understand why cwm backs up the cache. I wish there was away to tell it not to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Cwm has nothing to do with the cache. There is just an option in the recovery to clear it.

Edit: oh wait...I see what you are saying
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] godfirst:
If you clear cache before a back up then cwm won't really be backing up anything as far as cache wise.

Hey Da_G,

For some reason I can't get any init.d script to work with Smartass. I can set voltage, IO, and ondemand tweaks but for the life of me this script won't work, please give it a look(or anyone with the know how)

Also if Voltage Control support could be added, it would alow much easier verification of tuning and probably allow newer users a better experience than system tuner.

Edit: forgot to say this happens on both TPC and Saurom.

Ok for any of you wanting to know I ahve writtien the dev for SGS Kernel Flasher after getting the info fromn Da_g. This is his reply

The sgs kernel flasher supports currently only bml partitions.

But I consider to add support for more flash/partition types.

Anyone else experiencing battery drain during use? I had 1/2% per minute battery drain from voicecalls the last two days. I have never seen this before. It also seems like just normal browsing, emails, and such seem to drain battery faster. Standby battery life is amazing. I have ondemand gov with 1.83 max 192 min. i have also tried 1.78 max and 384 min both with large use battery drain. Just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this kind of battery drain.

I turn my phone on /unlock it, and after about 5 minutes the screen goes black for a few seconds and im brought back to the lock screen. I assume this is the kernel crashing. How can i be sure. Is there any log or anything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Romee74:
With same usage i used to come home at the end of the work day with about 60-70% battery left now I am getting home with about 50% with very light use (30 minutes talk time and 30 mins display time) I was at about 90% at noon mostly standby time until i made a couple calls and noticed my battery sunk drastically. I checked the battery and 53% was used by my voice calls of like 20 minutes.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] godfirst:
From 90 to 52 from just a few calls and standby, that doesn't sound about right. How long had out been since you've flashed the kernel? You might have to give it a couple of cycles to allure the battery to calibrate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
I would install cpuspy from the market and see if the phone is going into deep sleep. There's a known bug that after putting the phone on a charger, it may not deep sleep without rebooting depending on what you were charging it with (computer, stock Samsung charger, different cable etc) and for me personally I have to wake the phone and unlock the slider, then unplug or it won't deep sleep at ALL until a reboot.

My phone will eat your Apple!

I went back to stock for a couple days to see if my battery gets better and since last nite i can def say YES. I couldn't last 6 hours when OC. Maybe OC'ing isn't for heavy users of the phone like me. Will go and root it again just so i can get rid of the bloats but will steer clear of ROM 's or OC 'ing for awhile. Used my phone all day since being full this morning and i would of already had to charge it before when i was OC it but today i am at 65%. Just my experience.

I have antutu cpu master pro, How come there is no GPU or Voltage tweaking?

Am i missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Main Frame:
No, GPU and Voltage tweaks are not enabled in this kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
You know if they are planned?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
Same here, drains almost nothing noticeable when on standby, but ANY use like a 5 min call and I lose 3-4%! Seems very odd especially since I'm using the OC kernel but at the stock voltage except when charging? Really only applied the OC kernel because it was stated to be optimized over the stock kernel at regular voltage, which after going back to stock for two days I would agree it IS but ONLY in terms of standby, any usage results in extremely quick draining.

Have you tried setting the CPU to something really low during voice calls? I believe this is an option in System Tuner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Romee74:
Try the OC kernel on stock Rom. I had OC kernel 01 with great battery life on stock ATT firmware. I have gone to saurom with OC 02 and seeing the same thing as you with large battery drain on voicecalls. I am back on OC kernel 01 to test but if you are already on stock try it with 02 OC kernel. That will help isolate whether or not it is kernel or ROM related.

Specifically, they are not enabled in that app. You can undervolt to your hearts content with system tuner or custom init.d scripts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
I tried both kernels, testing them thoroughly, before finally flashing an actual ROM. I flashed a ROM for battery life, hoping that it would be optimized or improved by the debloat, tweaks, etc but I'm seeing pretty similar battery usage time on Saurom Rc4, soooo......not to sure where to go from here with the available options, seems like I've tried everything to extend battery life but haven't found the right mix, or it doesn't exist yet for the AT&T version of the Note?

I was getting about 20 hours of battery life with about three or four hours of screen time and about an hour or two of voice calls with stock rooted ROM with 01 OC kernel oc'd with ondemand gov 1.83 max and 192 min. Now I am only getting about 15 hours of battery with 2 hours of screen time and 40 minutes of voice calls with Saurom rc4a and OC kernel 02 with same exact oc settings.

Edit: no matter what I am getting about 1% per hour battery drain or less on standby. That is as good as I ever had it on my SGS2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
I use setcpu and I don't believe there's an option for phone call voltage control? I'll have too look, but I do have the "screen off" set to 702/192 which may account for my excellent standby, but I still can't explain the extremely high "screen on" drain really. Also screen brightness is set all the way down to 10% to help conserve battery.

All i can say about battery life.... Is that this is a smart phone with a huge screen. batt life should not matter to the users that want this device. If it does.

Okay, but why would you not want to get the best battery life that you could get. I wasn't saying that I wanted better than my best. I just have some benchmarks with my typical usuage and am not getting them anymore.

Just concerned that there might be an issue with the new .02 kernel and wanted to see if others have seen the same type of battery drain before contacting the dev. I have seen at least 4 users experiencing the same issues as me so there is deffinately and issue somewhere. Through my last testing it seems that it most likely is with some changes made in the latest .02 OC kernel because i have been running .01 all day with the same exact setup with much less drain. Now since this isnt a typical phone call day for me I won't know for sure until Monday, but i have made more calls just for testing and havent seemed to have the same high voice call battery usage as in .02 OC kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Same. Huge battery drain with voice calls. 145 minutes of voice calling so far yer it accounts for almost 20 percent of my battery drain.

Do i have to flash this to achieve root or can i achieve root without this kernel or thru Odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
Currently I'm averaging 22h unplugged time with just over 5h screen on time per charge. XDA won't let me.post a screenshot due to "invalid JPEG extension." If that isn't badass battery life, hell if I know what is. Note, this isn't with Saurom ROM or the OC Kernel.

I can't help but think that somewhere there are still issues with a rom/kernel that make the Note search for a wireless signal more than it should that results in lower battery life for some people and not others- depends on where you are in relation to signal strength. We had very similiar issues with the Atrix 4G in its early development days.

You can achieve root thru a couple different methods. They are all listed in the development forum. I personally would use Roloracer's thread as your guide, very easy to follow and won't trip the counter when flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Awesome, I appreciate it. BTW, you happen to know how to undo all this madness? I flashed CWM as well as this kernel, and now I'm looking to go back to step 0, after some funky behavior...namely something keeps crashing, the screen goes black, and then I'm kicked to the lock screen. I'm not sure which app or setting caused this, so I want to go back to the way it was when I got the device, and then reload all of my apps and data manually. If there is a way to keep CWM I'd like that, but don't mind reflashing it. So the goal is to wipe everything, reflash the rooted kernel, and then install all of my apps. My iPhone had a wipe phone option, and I'm looking for something similar.

I'm using an ATT note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Romee74:
There is a thread in development that has a stock tar that flashable with Odin.

Is kernel stable at 1.94mhz or are only same phones able to clock that high?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Do I need to wipe first? Or will flashing that tar do everything for me, and bring me back to step 0.

There are a few .tar threads. Which one do I want? Mega thanks guys. My phone is unusable right now.

I just flash it the same way that I flash Da_G's pre rooted kernel, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Romee74:
The OP says the kernel is stable only up to 1.83. Take into consideration all hardware is a little different so you may be able to go higher or not be able to go that high.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Just like PC overclocking, it depends on the Silicon. Some phones will be much more stable than others. Some might do perfectly well at 1.94, whereas other might not do well over the stock speed (of course, the ones that don't do so well might just require a tad more voltage, but that goes beyond the purvew of a basic user).

Mine for instance, can't even do 1.83 without an app or kernel crash every few seconds. The setting that is one step below that causes a crash once every thirty minutes or so. So I'm stuck at 1.68 or 1.72....or whatever the setting is that's one step above 1566 MHz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Romee74:
It is named stock Odin in case of brick. It is another da_g thread. You don't need to wipe but you should before booting up after installing the tar. Just follow the instructions in the thread it will get you back to bone stock kernel and rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Awesome. I've been looking for an answer for days.

This looks like its a .rar , so to I have to extract it? Or just pop it into Odin like I did the kernel.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] godfirst:
Did you set your configuration for boot? I prefer set CPU over system tuner. It also could be based on the governor your using, each governor has different scale frequencies

I noticed this too. It's happened a couple times now using st, smartassv2, min 192, max 1.83G. It will stick to the max on core 0 while core 1 will stay offline with nothing running. I only noticed it after seeing my battery drop 15% after a few minutes. Only way to drop it was to change gov.

Nothing at all caused by your kernel, but hoping the following might be able to be fixed/tweaked

there are some issues with stock that bug the crap out of me and I am curious if they can be corrected with Development..either on the kernel side or the rom side...I don't know enough to know where the issues reside.

1. The sound over headphones issue explained here...my basic understanding is that the phone reads the notification and or ringtone incorrectly and does not distinguish that it should be played over the headphones and instead plays through the external speaker. I think this is also related.

2. Bluetooth autoconnect. It simply doesn't work correctly on the Note or the Skyrocket. Autoconnect functionality it retained as long as bluetooth is not toggled off. If bluetooth is toggled off and then back on, the saved paired connections no longer auto connect. The only way to correct is to unpair and re pair the BT device.

Just curious on your thoughts with those and am willing to contribute in any way possible to fix them on the development side of things.

also pm'ed you regarding the possibility of running skyrocket roms with proper conversion...just curious if anyone had looked into it

Battery and CPU usage - 8 hours test

Today I left the phone idle most of the day, and did an 8 hours CPU (CPU Spy) and Battery (BetterBateryStats) usage, the results are the following:

- Battery was 100% at the beginning of the test and at the end of the 8 hours it was 83%, with Wifi/GSM/HSPA ON and mostly idle during the whole day, receiving email though. BetterBateryStats report as top processes as: suspend, dhd_dpc, suspend_sys_syn

- Cpu Spy report 65% Deep Sleep, 32% 192Mhz and 1% 1566 Mhz. I did notice in a previous test that with the AT&T stock ROM the Deep Sleep process was close to 95%, is there a reason being after idle the whole day for the phone to use as much as 32% of the 192Mhz ?

Thanks
