GM if you can find "xxtweaker.apk" on myfluxi's repo this will allow us to change mndie colour settings. I have the GB version but it doesn't work... no surprises there.

Plus the GS3 has a fantastic screen, a very fast processor, a great camera and a high capacity battery. What's not to like? You know if you don't want the "bloatware" you'll be able to move to a different ROM very quickly.

Ok guys i dug up miFluxi's kernel off the German forums. It's tweak app xxtweaker is installed and has some more screen control. Not colour unfortunately. Its in German too. Very snappy kernel tho.

GM I assume there's not much more in the screen department you can cherry pick? No colour control yet?

I opened the Camera to take a picture. The phone started to heat up like crazy.

In 10 minutes I lost 20% battery. I managed to stop the heating process by going to the Memory Management and cleaning up and closing all apps.

I tested it again and the same thing happened. This camera heating process started when I changed to "Moving Panorama" mode (sorry, I translated it directly from Portuguese, don't know the actual english name for it).

ok this is the third time I ask this question without answer :

What is the diffence between setting up voltage in NSTools rather than in Voltage Control?

What do you call internal voltage? is it different from voltages seen in Voltage control?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] umermajeed:
AFAIK, there is no difference between the 2...they are just 2 different apps that do the same thing...i was using VC before....now i just use NSTools because then i don't have to use an extra app to configure lulzactive...

I am not sure about internal voltage...haven't tinkered with those...but i am sure this has been discussed in previous few pages..since the release with internal voltage...please search the thread

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] johnbeetee:
NSTools - Voltage Control: as umermajeed said ....

internal voltages:

there are different components/subsystems in our phones, some of which:

CPU (processor)

GPU (graphic accellerator)

BUS (see this as the pipelines connecting everything together, like processor to the memory, the memory to the graphic accellerator, etc.)

All these subsytems can function at different speeds (frequencies) with each speed needing a different voltage.

with VC and Nstools you can set these freq. and voltages for the CPU.

in Extweaks you can set the freq. and voltages for the GPU

and recently also the BUS freq. and voltages which are refered to as internal voltages.

All these systems need to be tuned the right way according to each other in order to function ok, meaning functioning in a stable configuration.

Hope this explains it a little for you...:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
Did you manage to find out which steps are better for performance/battery life? 5 steps or 18 step frequency?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mitky82:
Bln don't work after restart, b6 and cm9. Only for the protokol. Re enable in options and is working.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bleuxeon:
Well...thanks but did you look at my sig? I know what OV-UV and OC are...

The thing regardind BUS frequencies and voltage is that I have no such parameters using NSTools.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] johnbeetee:
ok....I can't re-check that right now ( I'm temporarily back on b2-2 to check some things) but I can recall these settings appearing in Nstools under the voltages tab, way back on the bottom of the page under the title 'internal voltages'.

If you're not getting these, maybe a restart/reset extweaks profiles/clear dalvik cache may be needed....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bleuxeon:
ok thanks.

I will re-flash Siyah same version since GM regulary releases new version without changing the version number...it could be the solution.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] johnbeetee:
,,,just went back to b6...

(..these are in dutch, but it illustrates what i meant..)

..maybe it's a problem with CM9 (although I doubt that...)

did you check for any misbehaving init.d scripts, blocking this feature? (if that's even possible, don't know for sure...)

or maybe some CM9 setting?

just guessing here....:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] maczaros:
Eg.:

during phone call, my auto brightness is turned off and brightnes is set to maximum (tasker profile).

When I take phone to ear screen i turning off (normal behavior) and when i take phone to hand - eg to disconnect call, screen is turning on, but with minimal brigtness (not always - 1/5 tries).

I have tested it - during call i have cover few times with finger distance sensor and 1/5 tries screen is turning on with minimal brightness - 4/5 turning with max.

Also sometimes in very bright conditions, auto brightness is also having same issue - when idle timeout occured, and screen turn off, i've turn it on by home button but screen was nearly visibe. I have to press power to turn off, and on screen - and after that, brightness was ok.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sam razzy:
No buddy... my battery got over when it reached 22hours... n reporting feed backs only after checking this kernel for 24hours... and I don't get anything if I lie...

Thanks for the screens.

I m afraid I have exactly the same parameters so : where did you seen bus or internal voltage?

Thoose parameters look the same as Voltage Control has for CPU and ExTweaks for GPU.

I don't catch what's new using NSTools.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
to implement flashing to second rom is harder than I thought.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] johnbeetee:
the voltages in the second screenshot (at the bottom of the voltages page) look similar to the GPU voltages (as in extweaks) but these are the internal freq. and voltages for the BUS

Nstools doesn't have freq./voltage setting for the GPU. You'll need extweaks for those
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bleuxeon:
Gokhan could you state if there is something new in NSToolls regarding voltages?

Some talk about "bus" or "internal voltage" : I don't see any.

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

oh! ok, but are you sure? since it realy looks like GPU frequencies and voltage.

Thank for your patience:)

EDIT : if thoose are realy bus frequencies and voltage then there is an hudge mistake in the french transation of this tab :

"Tension puce graphique" means in french : GPU chip voltage

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
you can use VC, setcpu or nstools to underclock.

but since I do not like talking about underclocking (why? because the questions never end and people should experiment it instead of asking questions) I generally do not answer those questions. GPU undervolting may be worth but I do not like too much CPU undervolting.

especially, undervolting in internal voltage does not make a measurable (or easily measurable, let's say) difference in power consumption according to AndreiLux's measurements.

don't use all of them.

use only one of them or use scripts.

I am now using VC to underclock sometimes and I rarely undervolt (50mV usually).

nstools is also good. setcpu is already a legend..

nstools can support internal voltage modification through customvoltage interface (the values in busfreq.c, we can say bus voltage). we have 3 steps for bus frequency (i.e. 400, 267, 133) and you can set voltages for each bus freq step. however, changing them does not make a measurable change but increases the risk of crash.

also, nstools is good for making modifications on governor thresholds.

by the way, some people are talking about bln problems and enabling/disabling fixes it. it is because that they are having nstools or BLN app which has BLN setting disabled but they enable bln only in extweaks. remember: extweaks is ONLY for boot-time settings. even if you set bln enabled in extweaks, any other app may override that setting and disable it during boot or using an init script. you have to make sure that bln is enabled in all bln supporting apps, or you have to uninstall them. I know BLNapp or nstools apps causes this problem. if you want bln to work every time you reboot your device, enable bln in those apps as well or just uninstall them.

anyway...

for beta8, we will have 18 steps as default. defaut min-max will be 100-1200.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bleuxeon:
thanks!

I was near to think you were ignoring my poor person:D

For your first question : yes

the second : I m not sure.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
+1 to this question

I used to keep 80 - 40 for hot plug, I guess this wasn't that good according to this WONDERFUL research by AndreiLux. So, provided that I already set 18 steps and 100-1200 frequency range, with 2nd core on at 800mhz, what hot plug parameters do you suggest to get the most out of battery life? ;-)

and what about gpu, does the same apply? (now I'm on 133-200-267 with theresolds 85-75-85-75 that I copied weeks ago from one of the sgs2 threads..maybe cm9 one?)

Thanks a lot for this wonderful research :) I hope this will prove useful for both battery and performance freaks!

(On a side note, I would have said that 18 steps minus 25, 50 and OC steps were crazy...but today I learned many new things)
