...that's because the parameter freq_responsiveness for HYPER is set at 700000 default.

Like you, I prefer a little more tempered behaviour, and set this one lower (100000), without any noticable loss in responsiveness, but less use of higher frequencies (thus, more battery eficiency)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Think of CWM and ROM Manager as the devil.. and see recovery as a no BS, basic, and most secure, way of .. doing anything that is available there!

Middlemen always take their share.. even if it's just on a backup, so avoid anything that can cause problems, that others can't reproduce, by doing something stupid, like using a 'middleman' .. (also apply to drugs! And stay off them, (when posting at least)) :silly:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pixiebob:
yes it's good recommendation, HYPER with freq_responsiveness set to 100000 and up_threshold to 99.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] joaonds:
Please:

What is the basic difference between the kernel Dorimanx 5.3 and Siyah 3.5 ?

I want choose the better.

I use 2 ROMs in Dual Boot: ICS and JB.

Thanks for your attention.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jagdish84:
All I can say for sure is that ones called Dorimanx and the other siyah, the rest you will have to extract from the first post at each thread...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
i will set it in kernel, so you will not have to use script :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dorimanx:
i will test it. and may set it as default, thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pixiebob:
sounds great, thanks bro :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
So now I am a bit confused.. cortexbrain tweaks are enabled at default, but are bad for battery, and general usage? Even though earlier recommended?

I know the cortexbrain 'enable' isn't recommended yet, since you'd set it as default at the time when stable enough. (using it anyway right now to see what happens)

:confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] johnbeetee:
Using cortexbrain is better for batterylife, because you then get normal governor at screen on and sleepgovernor when screen is off. I use hyper/scary.

I think what pixiebob meant was that he uses a script to modify the governor pararmeters and if you do this with cortexbrain on, his values will be overwritten each time he switches from screen on/off.

I use cortexbrain ON with full options (except screen brightness tweak), and the governor parameters I want are changed automatically with Tasker app. at screen on or off. Works great :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] THE RED BLUR:
Thanks for clearing that up. So looks like Dorimanx is gonna include ur perimeters by default into kernel. So we get best of both worlds now. :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nasty_z:
@DorimanX, I was reading the OP couple of minutes ago and saw something a bit awkward.It's when the part about Voku starts. "Please threat him as a full time developer."

Shouldn't it be "treat"? :p

and thanks for the new update :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] johnbeetee:
...forgot to mention: besides setting freq_responsiveness to 100000, I also set sampling_rate to 40000 (default 100000) to maintain some snappy respons.:o
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
Cortex Brain, that whole load of Extweaks you can't even touch, HYPER and Scary is to much NASA rocket science BS for me. I like this kernel for it's JB support but had to change to the new DM kernel cuz Dorimanx drains the battery like crazy and at the slightest change in Extweaks to improve battery it gets unresponsive. I haven't lost faith in this project and I'm sure it will improve in those minor issues but right now I can't be charging my phone twice a day. Not when I come from Fluxi where I charged it every two days.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] FeuchtVonLipwig:
sounds like total bull**** to me but have fun with your new kernel :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lyndonguti:
Ahm you need to take atleast 3 or 4 cycle to make a comment to the kernel....kernels need sometime to adopt sometime it feel so good with battery life so much appreciable sometimes not....it happends during the"test" time ...after that it is the time to comment :)

--* IN CoDeWoRkX WE TRUST *--
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
Three of the best battery friendly and stable kernels out there are CM9, Fluxi and DM. 2 of those 3 don't even have an app for tweaking it and none of them have either HYPER, Scary or Cortex Brain options. The tools for getting a complete and balanced kernel already exist. There's no need to reinvent the wheel, is already there ; ) I found some of these latest “great inovations" in the kernels to be solutions to problems that never existed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] THE RED BLUR:
That's strange ur last couple posts were singing the praises of this kernel :confused:

If you support this why not provide bbs logs or better report? Before leaving.

If everyone did this then there will be no progress.

You can't judge kernel on first cycle.

Yes I agree it's not perfect the battery drain both screen on and off but i easily get over 4 hours of screen on time.

The drains will get better with better reports.

I can't even post yet as I need to start 2nd cycle then report.

But no freezes and no fc's so far:)

On default settings with cortexbrain on.

Main ROM : RR AOKP 2.6.1

2nd Rom : RR JB 3.1

KERNEL : Dorimanx 5.53
[Galaxy S II Android Development] FeuchtVonLipwig:
This is from my current cycle with only minor use (38min screen time).

So i lost about 20% in 17 hours so far with dorimanx 5.52. which is pretty decent :)

hyper governor and cortexbrain activated (with cpu tweaks).

I get the best battery results when i let my phone deplenish to 0% when it shuts down itself. After that charge it fully to 100% over night. Then i take it off the charger and start it on the next day. If you do this for some cycles you'll surely have better results. If you swap your rom and kernel everyday its normal that you get bad feedback from your phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
I didn't started flashing kernels yesterday mate ; ) I'm aware of that and I actually like this kernel but when a kernel is battery efficient it just is. From the first flash you notice the improvement and it keeps getting better. Dorimanx isn't far from being an awesome kernel. The deep sleep is great but you turn it on and the battery it saved during deep sleep goes to waste.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lyndonguti:
Ok that can be helpfull for dori maybe.....you know what he can do ....:)

--* IN CoDeWoRkX WE TRUST *--
[Galaxy S II Android Development] THE RED BLUR:
I do something like this. I have two default Samsung batteries and charge each one on an external charger. So i let battery drain completely and just swap battery's back and forth.

This is my 2nd cycle and i did two reboots as well for testing purposes too prove a point on RR thread.

Main ROM : RR AOKP 2.6.1

2nd Rom : RR JB 3.1

KERNEL : Dorimanx 5.53
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
I was happy with 5.5 from the first cycle but since there were many releases improving bugs and fixing problems I personally was having I started updating to the latest and it hasn't been the same. I ran 5.53 third cycle today and the drain was just ridiculous, same or worse than the first cycle :/ I'm not leaving this kernel I'm not like that. I actually like it but I think this keeps getting sci-fi on every update and I depend a lot on my phone and as I said... I can be charging it twice a day. 5.5 gave me a full day easily on first cycle.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kenepo:
***

Totally... that's the reason I'm not leaving this kernel. Dori's dedication and compromise with his users is amazing. The change log speaks for itself and you know what? I'm a give this kernel another try. I really had a bad day at work painting houses under Puerto Rico's smoking hot Sun plus fighting with the phone and the battery really had me in a bad mood. Thankfully I just arrived home and am feeling a lot better now : )). I'm going to start from scratch, uninstall/install Extweaks, flash the ultimate kernel cleaning script, then flash 5.53 and give him his deserved 3-4 cycles. Is me against 5 or 6 others that just can't all be wrong. I'll post here in the next days to let you guys know how's it going ; ) Thanks for helping and my apologies for not making a helpful post from the beggining.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] VanillaCracker:
So I was wondering if this kernel would ever find its way onto the I-777. Flashed it with Kalgecin's super early JB preview before CM10 came out, (obviously home and back button were whack) and wow, I really wish I had this kernel now. Using Dream kernel, but honestly, it's too fast. This kernel was smooth as anything, and Dream is not nearly as smooth.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davdavo:
I've gone back to 5.50.

All the newer updates caused lags, especially to the browser & news apps like Taptu. My weather location was also not reading or updating.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] djmurphix:
+1
[Galaxy S II Android Development] johnbeetee:
Don't know if you're handy with scripts, or know this already, but there's one parameter you can change and try:

echo 1 > /sys/class/lcd/panel/power_reduce

It's a setting common on sammy rom's under settings-screen-manage screen power, but not used/set in a lot of aokp/aosp roms.

It does make a difference in screen power consumption.

You can also give it a test run by just using root-explorer and going to the file mentioned above, open it with the text-editor and put the value 1 in there. As long as you don't reboot, it will stick.

Maybe it can help you get some more screen on time. Just one catch : it only works with auto-brightness activated.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] voku1987:
... power_reduce dosn't improve battery time, already checked the function from "power_reduce" is also used by every screen-change (this is what I read at the sources) but if the battery time from v5.50 was good and v5.53 isn't good -> I think we need a "diff" from the sources and compare it ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] johnbeetee:
Personally I don't find the battery time on 5.53 worse, it's as good ( if not better) than 5.5

What I did notice is that after consecutive flashings, following up newer versions, the su binary tends to act up for some obscure reason. But unrooting in extweaks and reboot with auto-root on seems to stabilize it. Another thing that tends to act up is the fuelgauge chip, causing unwanted awakes. Again in extweaks resetting the fuelgauge and charging solves that.

And to be honest, I don't know exactly what 'power_reduce' does on a code level, but I did a lot of measuring and trials before, and noticed it to really help increase the screen on time (using auto-brightness). This was also confirmed by other users. As I said, on sammy roms, it's a standard setting under settings menu, but on a lot of aokp/aosp (not all of them) it's set and left at 0, and setting this to 1 makes some difference. About +10-25% more screen on time, by managing the power consumption of the screen somehow....feel free to correct me if I'm wrong :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] THE RED BLUR:
I have a suspicion that the new wifi driver could be causing more battery drain. As I noticed before in previous versions drain wasn't so high during deepsleep.

Before I had drain of only 3% with wifi on in deepsleep in 7 hours. But I can't remember which version it was now. Will have to check back on the posts to find it.

Update found post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28947985

It was version 4.9 and I believe i was on default settings with cortexbrain on and pegasus as main gov and the now removed intellidemand as sleep gov.

Now if i leave wifi on i get drain of 10 to 15 % or more.

Also I think because we have been focusing more on stability and performance lately which I am very happy with i haven't kept track of the best battery versions since 4.9.

We are going in the right direction and with a few more tweaks here and there we will get there soon and have the perfect kernel :)

Main ROM : RR AOKP 2.6.1

2nd Rom : RR JB 3.1

KERNEL : Dorimanx 5.53
[Galaxy S II Android Development] johnbeetee:
Now that you've mentioned it :

I did notice these few lines were deleted from the cortexbrain script in the battery tweaks section:

# WIFI PM-FAST support

if [ -e /sys/module/dhd/parameters/wifi_pm ]; then

echo "1" > /sys/module/dhd/parameters/wifi_pm;

fi;

...but I thought there must have a good reason for this.

Maybe this has something to do with the higher wifi drain?

( personally I won't be able to notice more drain, because I toggle my data connection/wifi, and never leave it constantly on....)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] budi5555:
how if you connect mobile data connection/no wi-fi from 100% battery? i use 5.53 at the firsttime and always use mobile data connection(not use wi-fi), the battery more better than previous version... deep sleep >70% if i not use the device...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] THE RED BLUR:
Hi I haven't tried on data only yet. I just stick to what I normally use as a baseline in order to compare the different. Versions of the kernals.

But stupidly I haven't paid attention to the battery drain side of things since 4.9 as I was concerned more with stability and performance and plus I was busy trying out duel booting with jb and getting that to work .

So i was going back and fourth between roms for the last week and a bit and a lot of flashing so i couldn't really assess battery fairly until now.

So i will check it out as part of my tests amongst other things. :)

Thanks to voku and johnbeetee for looking into this;)

I wish I could understand like u guys how to read those code lines and edit. That part i have'nt mastered and don't have the knowledge to yet.

Whenever I don't feel kernel is not stable I'll b going back to 3.1.2 for siyah.. its having good battery back up... for total of 6h ....

I played music for one hour n I lost only 2-3% and browsing internet and Tapatalk for 2h lost only 20 and remaining 3h for deep sleep .. lost 5% coz inb/w i sent 50sms...battery was remaining 69%... I'm happy coz same kernel made my day with deep sleep for 7h lost only 2%.. I swear m not lying... its a powerfull but not more future like latest build... bln and second Rom flash is implementation is going on... ;) I hope you will get me some butter soon or later

Dori please check whether 3.1.2 kernel helps u.. ;)

This pic was taken now... I played music .. YouTube online app .. watched some songs.. like shakira addicted to you and jb boyfrnd and some other... also internet... n I lost 12% for 55minutes screen on ... ;)

Nothing is normal with ICS and all ICS Kernel. Too much battery drain with all roms and all kernels. ICS was a big mistake allover.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fifa_king:
Then go back to gingerbread and stop posting such useless comments here. U havent backed up ur claim with any facts at all.

Only thing u are doing is undermining all the hard work many devs around the world put out there to bring us ICS and all it's custom goodies here on xda.

think before you crap out such useless posts. devs here are trying their best to tackle any issues and mostly for free.

If ICS was a mistake, why do u think all major tech firms are trying to push ICS to their newest handsets?

this can be connected to ROM tweaks also.

check if more people with your rom. and different kernel report the same.

Hi all :)

In this post I just want to give new ideas for the futures releases, I think there are quite interesting for us.

- First (little) idea : why not add an Key to skip the "second rom boot countdown" ? As VolumeDown and Menu Button boot the second Rom, the VolumeUp button may skip this choice and immediately boot the first one, you see it?

(it would be cool for all flashers in a hurry :P)

- My second idea would be a feature to Hotswap between Modem :)

It would be so cool like KL4 in cities and a possibility to swap to LQ6 to find a Network in country side. And this without a reboot ;)

I don't know if this is possible, but this feature would make this kernel totally amazing!

Thanks again, your Kernel RoxX Dori !
