[Galaxy S II General] randomseasons:
Hi all, first, as every flash maniac here in xda, I had a hard time living and tweaking my Galaxy S2 all days and nights. But it finally came to a time, a month ago, when I decided that I had come too far, it was time to stop everything. Currently I'm too satisfied with my Gingerbread, I even changed to ICS but I was too disappointed that I changed back. I even think I'll stick to my version of S2 forever.

I don't want to make another thread to discuss anything, it's enough, I just want to write down things I have done with my Gingerbread here, I think it should be useful for some. And if you want, I would like you to share your final version too, just the version you're satisfied like me, don't give anything you're confused and ask for help. I think we maniacs should stop that and begin to live our life in a better way without worrying about one drop in the battery percent like we have been doing.

Well, to begin, here is my performance:

5 to 6 hours of screen-on with Average use. Remember it's average use, means I set my brightness to 30%, lower at night and higher outdoor, a lot of web sulfing, no restriction in usage time to save battery, just call/sms/anything anytime I want to. So this result is too good, I can easily make it to 2 days with normal usage.

Here are all my tweaks:

ROM

- Checkrom Revo HDv6

- All Samsung Bloatware deleted completely.

- Bluetooth apps deleted as I never use it.

- Fast Dormancy disabled (code *#9900#) but I actually find no difference from when it is enabled.

- Use code to "only use 3G (*#301279#)", just because I'm living in a country where the 3G network isn't fast, so only use 3G is more than enough.

- Only one home screen with black wallpaper, I love to have it as every icons stand out so well.

- JKay Deluxe is amazing, I set my top bar like this: Wifi - Data - GPS - Autorotation - Vibrate - Sound - Sync, that's all. On the Lock Screen I set 6 quick buttons. Again everything here is for myself and it's extremely comfortable for me as I can access anything I want in a blink.

- Other common tweaks in the rom you can find easily.

- One brightness app and one phone-lock app on the home screen helps me a lot.

- I don't enable sync or 3G when locking the phone so any Juice Defender apps are useless for me. If I want I just pull down the top bar and one click on the icon, boom it's done !

- Default modem with rom

Kernel

- Siyah 2.6.14 (final version)

Clock: 200mhz - 1200 mhz

Voltage:

875 - 925 - 975 - 1075 - 1175.

- This is even lower than normal, but for my Checkrom it's completely smooth, I don't care about battery anymore so if it lags I will try to raise anything, maybe I'm just lucky my rom is extremely smooth.

Governor:

- Lulzactive

Scheduler:

- Sio

Lulzactive App (download from Market):

- cpu load 75%

- pump up step 1, pump down step 2

- sleep frequency: 6 - 200mhz

- rate up: 35000, rate down 25 000

I know this must not be close to perfect, but as I said I don't care about it anymore, I just want to share my config so don't yell at me that these tweaks are so wrong, it works for me !

- I used to have default On Demand with Sio and it seemed to be the same, but my feeling it's better when I use Lulzactive. Also I used to set cpu load and the rate is different but it seemed worse.

Extweaks:

CPU loadl 45%, loadh 75%, 2nd CPU disabled when off (it means my loadh_scroff is 100%)

Rate 200

rate cpuon = rate cpuoff = 400

freq_cpu1on = 800 000mhz

sched_mc is disabled

everything else is default

GPU tab:

2 steps: 133mhz 267mhz

GPU undervolted: 900 1000, I can set it to 850, 950 but I don't want to

GPU threshold up 75%, down 45%, threshold 2 up = 100 (it means disabled 3rd step)

everything else is default

Screen tab:

min_bl = 30, min_gamma = 0, max_ gamma=20.

Also I must say that my phone is too bright at night, when Im about to sleep, I set the brightness to 0% to read some papers but it's even too bright.

-----------

So basically these above things are everything I tweak with my phone, whatever other things I changed to my phone, installed anything etc, they're those things that I must preserve.

After those tweaks, I almost forget everything about battery, just use my phone at its best and, well, it's super smooth and battery is astounding, this is why I think I will stick to Gingerbread for a long long time in the future.

Best luck to everyone, how about you guys?
