I didn't notice that keyboard backlight is also turned on when soft button is touched even if we don't slide it out :rolleyes:.

But I think Snoopo is right, when idle and you touch nothing then the keyboard & button backlight would be off and consumes no power. And when you use it, I don't think keyboard backlight consumes much power compared to lcd screen and the cpu anyway ;).

You can do experiment with this keyboard backlight by setting the max_current for keyboard-backlight in the /etc/hw_config.sh file to as low as 500. Default is 5000. But do not set it to 0, it will be maxed to 25000 instead. Reboot and see if it makes any different in battery drain. But you might find it difficult to type using hardware keyboard especially in low light condition because the backlight would be quite dimmed, and would have to use the soft keyboard instead.

I flashed Rage 2.7 and the battery life is fantastic. With Ondemand governor i have 50% left after one day. With cm7 kernel it were only 20%.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
I can confirm, it still works on RC3 :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Thanks for the confirmation :thumbup:.

I'm on cm9 since release 119 (and might switch permanently :D), so I haven't tested this kernel for the last 2 releases of fxp cm7.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iONEx:
@greenAlgae

Are you planning on porting Rage 2.9?

Kernel is really great, thank you for porting it! :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
Okay, v2.9 is added in download post at page 8.

Kernel v2.9 for minipro is tested working in fxp122 cm7 in my phone. I just flashed back to cm7 only to test it :cool:, and will get back to cm9 after this:rolleyes:. Which leads me to think that i possibly can't maintain this thread/kernel properly :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] josie87:
Thank you for the new kernel. Just flashed it together with fxp 122. The batterylife of 2.7 was fantastic. With your kernels cm7.2 is ready for daily use.

Will you make kernels for cm9 now?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
For now, i don't think i will. I think fxp cm9 kernel will evolve and get better as the rom itself being developed. Or maybe they will upgrade it to kernel 3.0. I'll just sit back and wait ;) :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ril z:
hey dev, one quick question: what do you say the best i/o scheduler? i'm running cm 7 n currently i/o scheduler is set at vr. fyi, i'm not too much into multitasks. so, what do you think?

thanks so much in advance. :beer:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
There is a very good thread by droidphile about i/o schedulers and cpu governors here. I/o schedulers are explained in post #4.

Personally i used noop or sio, but i never made real comparisons about performance or battery drain between i/o schedulers. So i can't say which is the best. It seems each has advantages and disadvantages, so you have to choose which suits your needs.

Also, there are a lot of infos in that thread about governors, and how to tweak them for performance or battery life. Few things are specific to galaxy s II, but many things are relevant to our devices too :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] josie87:
Battery life of this kernel is much better than 2.8. Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Reading the announcement post and recent posts still makes me doubt if v2.9 is based on v2.7 or v2.8.

Could somebody shed some light on this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ilovehello:
I suppose 2.8 (but if someone could confirm...), because it applies the same frequency.

On my mini (St15i) with CM7.2 RC3 20120526 (on get.cm), I have the best batterylife with Rage 2.7.

Battery drain is more important with 2.8 & 2.9 (even in idle..) :/

(Sorry for my English..)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
I always understood that 2.8 idle usage is less than 2.7 idle usage, but that active usage is heigher in 2.8.

That is also the background of my question, because I prefer a as low as possible idle usage.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
For further infos you should follow the original rage kernel thread.

2.9 is based on 2.8 with optimized governors.

I am currently testing and comparing 2.9 with 2.7.

Today 2.9, tomorrow 2.7.

Well. 2.9 seems fine. As dumohsmol suggests, smartassV2 seems best ogevernor for 2.9 (was running ondemand - my preferred - but in this smartassv2/ondemand comparison it lost). Idle behavior is very good, also with some background data running. But as well as in 2.8 the cpu workload is a bit higher than in 2.7. But all in all it feels smoother. But it seems the low consumption in idle now eats the usage drain :D But this is very depending on YOUR usage. :D

will report later.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
It's based on 2.8. Most changes are tweaks in governors, so they suit the cpu freq table of 2.8.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ril z:
wow, thanks for quick response. yeah, i've read that thread. when i used antutu benchmark for comparison, particularly, i/o test, vr and anticipatory scored the highest. nevertheles, from what i've googled, sio is the most recommended. so now it's set at sio. i don't notice any difference though. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] M66B:
Just wondering, what is the difference between:

fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img (source)

and

fastboot flash boot boot(-mango-2.9).img (Rage kernel readme)

Google couldn't really help me with this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] greenAlgae:
According to cyanogenmod's fastboot wiki, -i option is used to specify vendor id. And according to this android developer page, 0fce is sony ericsson's vendor id. That should explain it :).

But i actually never used that option, and fastboot (both linux and windows version) has never failed me so far :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MoonBlade:
thats right !

u can use the second command line to flash kernel. It works just fine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Snoopo:
Hi. Here are the results. :)

Kernel 2.7:

Kernel 2.9:

Well, please excuse me. I did no ACCURATE tests (lab like), because errm. I used my phone :P

AS you can see and if you use binoculars and some mathematical things:

It looks like 2.9 is the winner for now.

Just to explain: The low draining graph parts are when my phone is icing and I am walking through the town and receiving mails and shortly looking at them etc... my "usual" idle.

The more vertical graph parts are when I listen to music or in these cases: when I listen to music on bluetooth-headsets (so bluetooth was on, too). In this case 2.9 wins if I see that correctly: drain of about 20% in 2hours where on 2.7 it drains with my settings 20% in 1.5 hours.

But generic: it seems both are likely the same.

One thing I found out: it seems that flight mode has worse drain then just disabling data !? And that flight mode in 2.9 is quiet better. I will test this If I really like to test more.

So I would say 2.9 is now the next winner. Also it has better "wake up from idling" behavior than 2.7.

What do you mean?

EDIT: woops. I just renamed the picture WRONG (gave em 2.8 instead 2.9... but its kern version 2.9 ;) )
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nmnarora:

Hi all.

I have sent a request to our Mod to close this thread.

I have switched to cm9 and I don't think I can properly maintain this kernel and thread any longer, because I wouldn't be able to do any more kernel testing for fxp cm7.

Thanks for all those that have given me very valuable helps and feedbacks in building this kernel. Anyone still wants to continue using this kernel with fxp cm7 and have any questions, feel free to contact me by pm.

THREAD CLOSED PER OP REQUEST........ NO LONGER PERTINENT

It's been confirmed that the code in framework is just a stub left behind after Samsung removed the active CIQ code from their phones. They reused code and didn't remove this.

I was experimenting with xUltimate and xdaAutoTool and deodexed framework-res.apk. It didn't deodex properly, but I was digging around in the smali anyway and I found something interesting...

.class public Lcom/carrieriq/iqagent/CIQFeature;

This was in the path smali\com\carrieriq\iqagent. I attached the file (zipped since XDA doesn't like smali files). I have no idea what this means, but to me it seems like CIQ is on the phone.

Really, we need a dev to dig into it.

I know that all the CIQ detectors don't find CIQ on our phones, but maybe they aren't looking in the right places.

Maybe it's nothing. Maybe it's something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Underground_XI:
Mine doesnt have it. Carrier iq detector is also a good app to detect the presence of ciq
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cmucooper:
Well I don't know how you found that.... weird mine doesn't have it. Tried uploading a screenshot but it didn't worm from the xda app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
I don't think some of you are quite getting the possible implication of my OP.

It's not that some Notes have it and some don't. It's not that you can just go in a delete a folder. If you really read my post and understood what I wrote, then you'd realize the implications. I found this buried in the

smali

of a deodexed framework-res.apk. This means you can't just go in with Root Explorer and delete it. It's compiled inside the framework.

Let's break out an analogy. Say you go to the doctor and they check every where for cancer except your lungs. They declare you cancer-free, but since they didn't look in your lungs for cancer, it's possible that you still have it. Now, a few months later, you start having symptoms of lung cancer, so you go back to the doctor and this time they look in your lungs. Hey, what do you know, you've got cancer.

I can post all the screenshots of the CIQ detectors telling me I don't have CIQ, but all I know is that I looked in the decompiled framework and there is a file sitting there telling me that I might have it. This would mean everyone with a Note has it.

And I'm certainly not trying to start a flame war. I'm just pointing out that maybe CIQ is hiding in places that the detectors aren't looking.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpg71:
Most likely scenario is that Samsung's just reusing their existing code. It's possible that there are still stubs to Carrier IQ, but the functionality is no longer active or supported.

The same scenario played out with Apple - they were one of the 8 companies named in the lawsuit (Samsung was also included) and their response was to disable the functionality in iOS5, but the code would not be removed completely until a later release of the OS.

I'm not saying that this is what's going on with the Galaxy Note, but this would be a plausible scenario as to why you're seeing remnants in the framework resources code, but none of the usual CIQ detectors are flagging it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Underground_XI:
I totally agree with you, it is a good thing to get rid of that **** if we have it in our devices. However when I had my old phone and the ciq thing came out not everybody had it. and yes I went decompiled the framework just like you did and there is no ciq but I have no doubts they must have included some kind of similar crap in our devices since they just love spying! thanks for your post though, very useful!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zelendel:
Still amazes me how everyone get so excited about this. They worry about their privacy yet still use FB lmao.

The code is most likely a dead bit of code left over and we will most likely see it pop up in newer devices until they have a reason to remove it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sanchanim:
Uhm what carrier is this on, there are plenty carriers still using CIQ.

I am not worried about the app at all. In fact if the new API gets opened up by the carriers I will want it on my phone. It is a great tool.

The OEM's and carriers are still putting Carrier IQ on devices at the embedded level as well as the OS level based on who the phone is destined for.

In the case of Sprint it might be that they removed the libraries essentially disabling the software, until all the craziness dies down. Then they will send a new update out and have it back up and running.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fduraibi:
Wait! what are you talking about?

in FB people share stuff that they are willing to share, regardless if it considered private or not , and they choose to do so. But with apps and tools like CIQ you don't know about it and it didn't ask for your permission before sniffing on your data that you have on your own device even if it is not very private.

I use FB, twitter and i have a blog, i post stuff that are public and i don't care if people see or copy them over to other places, but i don't want anything on my phone to be leaked out without my knowledge.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
To Coreym and others who thought this thread should be closed due to the "have been covered in Sticky" and Mod Red.

Firstly, I personally do not think this question has been covered in Sticky.

The OP asking about how to install CwM Recovery onto his phone retaining stock kernels, NOT custom kernel. Yes, I did ask the question and creepy has provided answer b4. Yes, ramos did ask the same question and got the answer, I'm sure there were one or two more in the room. Yes, it has been answered but NOT covered in the Sticky.

Secondly, I don't believe the OP should get any flame because he did do the search and did his homework, he just ran into some errors, that's why he asked for help. This is way different than others who not even do homework, haven't even tried on their system, but just asked for direction.

I believe in this case, the OP did do his best and asked for help, that's why I provided a suggestion to him, rather than flame.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:

I hope the OP or you don't take it that way.

Also maybe I read it wrong but it looks like he's trying to install CWM using codeworkx kernel.. which is a custom kernel, not stock. Even the instructions in the link he provided go back to installing a custom kernel.

Okay I just went back and don't see ANYWHERE where the OP is trying to install CWM while retaining stock kernel.. I guess I must be blind :rolleyes:
