Would there be any performance improvement if we enable KSM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jlpatte2:
This ROM/Kernel is so unbelievably awesome, I have constantly been annoyed by my note primarily on homescreen transitions, it has always had just a slight hitch, nothing major, but makes it less smooth than for instance my wife's SGSII, or friends SGS3 hts one s etc and has been irritating since I bought mine off contract for serious $$. First I tried the GB OC kernel, and it helps a bunch of things, but didn't get rid of that glitchiness, then was excited by uclf6 stock ICS, it helped a bit, but it was still noticeable; this ROM though, its compeltely gone! smashed flat, its nearly as smooth as my friends with Nexus on Jelly Bean (only thing different is the recent apps list which is still a bit slow) Thank you so much... awesome awesome awesome!

What is "Outdoor mode"?

This is something that has bugged me since the first day I used this ROM... in Settings -> Advanced, what does "Outdoor mode" do? I can't find any reference to it in this forum. Also, why is that screen titled "Galaxy S II Settings"? Does any of it apply to the Note?

I nandroid back up then set dpi to 240 and oc'd to 1838 (on performance) and got 2900. So I restored back and tried:

oc to 1838 then 1890 (on performance) and ran quadrant on both settings and got score of 3200. The highest I got was 3338.

How are you guys getting 3700+? I still feel lag when swiping home screen, opening drawers.. etc. What am I doing wrong?

And another question.. does setting dpi to lower than 320 affect performance? I always thought it made the phone laggier but I was hoping oc would help.

+1 I'm also experiencing very low benchmark scores and lag during tests while overclocking. I haven't messed with my DPI though. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tdamocles:
Have you tried to run the benchmarks with the performance governor for these said runs?

Oops....strike this from the record.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dsp0704:
well initially i set dpi to 240 but restored back nandroid to test oc on normal dpi. so basically i have not messed with dpi prior to quadrant test.

running quadrant on 1838 (performance), i get 3100-2900 score. i noticed i can get 3200's with oc at 1728.

running antutu on 1838 (performance), i get 7000 score. (which is not bad right?)

i'm just confused because i never oc'd before and i thought oc would be so awsome but i have not seen improvement in daily use of phone.. nothing feels buttery to me. even swiping is very laggy. apparently i'm not the only one.

hmm i love this rom and all that h0w1r3 has done i appreciate it so much, i want this to work sooo bad, please help me see why i dont see results like you guys do.

Reporting back from my car Bluetooth issue. It didn't work:(

Just a refresh. I installed your latest release this morning. I restored my apps trough my playstore backup. Paired my phone back to my car, and not sound neither music info display but I can still just skip songs trough the radio.

Then I did a 3x wipe data, cache and dalvik. Deleted phone from my car radio. I didn't restore my backup from playstore this time. Installed Google music and Pandora. Re-paired phone back to radio, tested music with Apollo, Google Music and Pandora, still no luck.

Again, I have a Highlander 2011, the music plays just fine when using the official ICS, even music displays on the screen radio. When testing the rom on a third party radio, music plays fine but not music info. I wouldn't mind loosing the ability to display music info in order to make it work. Any chance of porting the Bluetooth drivers or code from the Note stock ICS? It seems like this might be using some generic Bluetooth drivers/code for most phones.

I really appreciate you took the time to look into this issue. h0tw1r3, are you a member of the Cyanogen team? Should I report this issue somewhere else?

Thank you so much again for all you do man. I promise a nice reward if you get this issue fixed. I'm gonna test my GS2 on the latest release and see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Killemalll:
Weird. I have a Jabra Cruiser and it lets me stream everything (music player, pandora, netflix, media etc). I wonder if the issue is with the Bluetooth unit in your car.

Whoa i just did a factory restore to flash back to unofficial and it wipe my sd card of everything i ever downloaded. Omfg that blows! I had every apk fix imaginable all gone.only a few things left in my dropbox!!! Beware when switching roms. The backwards Emmc/sd thing will wipe you out!!

Has anyone switched roms or has everyone Just stayed here on cm9???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iakeco:
No, it's still there. This morning I reinstalled "unoffical" and everything was ok. Then I went back to CM9

ROM is running smoothly. I do notice a odd problem. The captivate buttons do not seem to light up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] terra-starr:
This ROM is excellent, all my apps are running great.

A good SMemo replacement is LectureNotes.

Only issue i found was audio does not go out the car dock (I have it toggled in settings). Can anyone else confirm this? The work around is just plugging the aux into the Note directly.

Thank you for this great port.

I hace a Jabra cruiser on my wife's car too, and works fine. It also works with a Bose Bluetooth headset too. But I think the issue is with radios that has the ability to display music info when using CM9 roms.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Kflan22:
The jabra is easy though...you can force connect anything to it by holding power/volume up/fm... If the car stereo has a reset button or a way to wipe data from it and force connect it should do the same.... And work fine after
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h0tw1r3:
BT car audio works for me too, but SOME cars it does not work.

I'm guessing you're not even running my latest release, which has numerous (and some significant) changes under the hood.

Thanks for following up. I am not an official member of the CM team.

If this bug is present in the official nightly, then I would definitely encourage you to file a bug report.

I bought a Clarion CZ702, which I plan on installing this weekend. Will be looking closer into this issue (if it affects me).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rohankb:
I had a problem also but never mentioned it because I found out that removing SetCPU made the issue go away. The way I figured it out was because I didn't have it installed my speeds were 7000 on antutu and 3400 on quadrant. Then whenever I rebooted, the phone would revert back to speeds of 384 to 1512. So I installed setcpu. Set the 192 and 1836 then it stayed there on rebooting. But my benchmarks were bad. Like antutu was at 4000. I uninstalled setcpu and my phone runs great and keeps the setting in the setup on subsequent reboots. So was weird. But never mentioned it cause I didn't see anyone else with it. Figured it was just me.

But I've always used setcpu just after installing the patch to 10.1 is when this started so was weird but went away.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bailey1:
Did you restore apps+data? Did you full wipe prior to install?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dsp0704:
I did a full wipe using TWRP (x3 factory reset, x3 data cache, x3 dalvik cache, install rom, install gapps, x3 cache/dalvik, reboot) <= what I always do without much problem.

Then I synched google account, went in playstore and downloaded ROM Toolbox Pro, XDA Premium, Quadrant, AnTuTu, and SpeedTest.

Used Settings/Performance, set to 1838 max, and ran these tests. I believe my scores were in the range of high 2900's and low 3100's.

I've just finished reflashing ROM to see if my problem persists. And this time without messing with OC (stock 1.5ghz), ran quadrant twice and got 3100's.

Going to do some more tests, but I would like to hear some feedbacks.

Thanks!

...still awesome ROM..only if... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
even though I thought everyone knew this, Quadrant scores mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, when it comes to comparing "speed" of a phone..

Don't waste your time getting hung up on those scores; if the phone feels fast and smooth, then it is..

Anyone who has been around for awhile hacking phones understands this; where over clocking may give you a smoother gaming experience, its won't do a thing for normal phone functions..And, it eats up your battery, and shortens the life of your processor..

If you want to do something beneficial to your phone/battery, learn about under volting, which will give you some improved battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dsp0704:
I understand what you are saying but even if you say it means nothing, what does it mean when I see no "improvement" in quadrant score after oc'ing? It seems to decrease score significantly as a matter of fact. And why just a select few of us who experience this reverse effect? While the rest seems to "improve" quadrant score. Although you say the score itself does not mean a thing, does it still mean nothing when comparing previous score (before oc "3178") to current score (after oc "2900")?

I could give a **** what score of 3700 (the score that everyone seems to "get") means in terms of phone functions itself, but realizing that score was never before achievable with this phone until oc means something, not nothing.

I will read into undervolting after wards, thank you for heads up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jordant2:
I would agree that the quadrant score isn't that important. I've never even had the app on any phone I've had. With that said, something lead you to run quadrant. Was it just to see if you would get a better score? Or does your phone feel like it's lagging after overclocking? Download CPU Spy and see what frequencies your phone is using. Maybe it's not getting up to the higher clock speeds for some reason. If that's the case, reflash. Or even try a different recovery (bad flash/wipes???). Just some suggestions. Hope that helps you out some.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dsp0704:
I didn't bother with quadrant or antutu either but I figured after oc I could check to see if scores have improved. Only to find out that it was just the opposite. I was confused because I thought oc should atleast improve the score even if the score is meaningless. I thought this way because of the comments on this thread about scores jumping to 3700's. Also I have not noticed much if any improvement in phone's lag that was present prior to oc. Thus was another reason to check. I guess I was just disappointed unknowingly expecting too much from oc? But what does that mean if nothing (atleast noticeably nothing) came out of oc'ing. Basically I was expecting smoother experience navigating phone from homescreen and drawers to opening and browsing apps.

I checked cpu spy as you mentioned. It seems I get the cpu (time in state) at 1838MHz so I will just drop this whole quadrant and antutu nonsense.

Couple of questions if someone could help me:

What settings do you use for overclocking? And do you keep it on that setting? I don't want to stress out the cpu 24/7 only to find out my phone is toasted after a week or something.

Could someone give me name of app and your settings for undervolting? I downloaded an app called Voltage Control, but there was no setting to change voltage. And honestly even if it did, I wouldn't know where to start.

1. I didn't have to flash the blaze tmobile radio for this ICS 07-13 10.1 version (i flashed 7-13 nightly over the mid June hotwire then 10.1 and kept it on 10.1)

a. Has anyone done a test of different radio version to see whats the best tmo radio?

b. I wonder if I should reflash blaze tmobile radio, because Im guessing it's using the stock radio now on 10.1? How? Or is blaze somehow still in the memory? (I did tripe clear of caches between roms)

c. My data is acceptable as usual and I can make calls so it's ok. I'm not seeing much over 1Mbps down, ever. I think there still needs to be a proper radio for tmobile. Maybe when the tmo official note hardware version is released?

2. Its a heat wave right about now, i worry about you people overclocking.

3. Everything is working great on this rom. I guess I'll have to eventually donate if it keeps it up. Does one get to request some of those legacy CM7 features if they donate?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h0tw1r3:
You need to switch to a different governor. Like performance. On demand (default) shuts down the 2nd CPU.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taob:
Even when it is needed? Or does it just shut it down to conserve power when nothing is using the CPU?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tdamocles:
System Tuner can activate 2nd core if need be. I saw this elsewhere but can't remember who recommended.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] c6comp:
Today I tested this out and it doesn't work. No matter what governer I switch to, or how much load I place on the system (i tried each governer and I played GTA III and Osmos HD for a minute or so) I could not get the second core to show as active. Furthermore, it looks like the games are a bit more stuttery on ICS than they were on stock GB. Perhaps this is why?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rohankb:
Thanks for the tip. I activated my second core, lowered the voltage by 25, used the sysctl's recommended settings, rebooted and got 7454 on Antutu and 3775 on Quadrant.

Phone is a lot more responsive and snappier to me. This rom is a beast.

One thing I wanted to ask, to the developers on the board. Since this rom is writing to the "sdcard" not the term labeled emmc, does increasing the sdcard cache size make the whole rom run faster? I increased mine from 128kb to 3mb and am not sure if that overall affects the speed of the overall OS? Am I off in my theory?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h3r3tic:
Even on gb or any rom I been on the 2nd core would never turn on even playing n64oid gta3 or nova 3. Never had an issues with games. They always performed well. If i switched to the performance governor and had both cores on I never seen a performance increase in the phone. I really didn't think any of these games were made to take advantage of dual core especially since they run on phones like galaxy s incredible or the Droid x. The only thing I noticed with the kernel it basically scales from 192 straight to 1.78. There really isn't much use in between.

I set sampling rate to 10000 in system tuner and it has helped using more of 540 and 702 but it still doesn't scale as free roam in the lower frequencies like stock Ics kernel did. On stock kernel most of my phones time was spent at 1.02 and my 2nd core was always offline 99% of the time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] c6comp:
I've been doing some research and I think what we need to have is hotplug support. Hotplug is when the second core comes online only when it's needed. The N7000 already has something similar. Maybe we can incorporate these kernel patches?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h3r3tic:
Well this is how the note works normally. On stock uclf6 kernel the 2nd core only comes on as needed with any governor. I thought hotplug is a Motorola thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Just wanted to say that this rom is amazing! My phone is screaming fast, and zero fc's!

Thanks hotwire!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] c6comp:
Yes I know. However the problem is that on this ROM I wasn't able to get the second core to activate at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
When you receive a call, is there any built-in way to reject the call with a custom text message? (An option you can turn on somewhere?)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
system tuner shows both cpu scaling working fine...,but the app "cpu spy" newest beta version...shows no second core enabled,maybe its the cpu spy app am assuming for anyone using this!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aevans88:
My CPU spy doesn't show that. If system tuner shows both cpus working then I'd assume they are. Are both apps updated to the latest version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h3r3tic:
If u click on times in system tuner it shows how long there were on if there were. Those screenshots are from my stock rooted nexus 7 and u see all my cores are off. Idyk if u guys know but as long as u had that note u probably would have never seen that second come on longer than a second. So Idk why everyone is stressingyour nnot losing anything.are all your phones running smooth?

And that set CPU and CPU spy is baby steps compared to system tuner so I recommend the app 110 percent if u really wanna learn what's going on inside your phones.

and it works fine make surebyou select on boot and reboot your phone
