Hi KO. We're trying to nail down some possible problems with tweaks over at Calk's thread. Just curious if your tweaks use any CPU scaling (I think it's called) where the CPU speed is adjusted dependant on the battery level or are they the same throughout the battery cycle?

For instance, on Calk's stock tweak I think if you're above 85% battery, cpu is at 1200mhz... below that I think it drops to 1000 mhz.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
No, my tweak does not use the scaling at all. It's only on Calk's original tweaks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Ok, thanks. We're troubleshooting 4G reboot issues (which may be due to the default Calk tweaks, not certain yet... I've got users testing the rom w/o ANY init.d tweaks to find out for sure). I think we'll have to try yours out as part of that testing. Is anyone else reporting 4G reboot issues with your tweaks yet? (I can't test 4g reboot problem fully, my 4G coverage isn't the greatest)

Edit: Oh, I asked about CPU scaling because that just makes it harder to troubleshoot if it is being utilized. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
I think I saw 4G reboot issue in everywhere but mostly at Calk's thread.

Adding to your test, try to use stock build.prop also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Understood.

I specifically left build.prop alone to narrow down the issue to init.d first. Baby steps... :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Most importantly, stock ICS (kernel) does not support conservative governor but Calk's tweak were using conservative governor all the times. That would be the biggest issue at his rom.

One more, under the stock kernel, voltage control (OV or UV) is not available because Kernel does not support it.

Is KBTP for CM9 updated for Ff11 kernel?

thanks in advance
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
No need to update for CM9. Kobridge Tweak Pack v3.4 is totally compatible with FF11. So, just use v3.4 for CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ubuntunerd:
i tried to run the script on miui after flashing it through teamwin ff11 recovery, with script manager and i keep getting permission denied

i will like to have a better battery life but im not sure what im doing wrong, since im new to this tweak

any help is much appreciated thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
I think I saw some info about that. If the different kernel installed at CM9 or MIUI, it seems like you lose the su right.

That would be a reason why you're getting the permission denied error.

Can you try to run on default MIUI kernel? I've explained how you could run the script on MIUI at previous page.

Kobridge Tweak Pack v3.4M

OK, here are some screenshots from 3.4M. From 100% to 65%, I turned on 3G, so it covers the wifi when wifi sleeps during the deep sleep. From 65% to 45%, I turned off 3G, so during the deep sleep, both wifi and 3G were not available. When screen turned on wifi only came back (if you are not a heavy user, this method will save lots of battery).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cephaus:
holy hell, are you using stock battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
In my whole life, I never used any other batteries! lol:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ankurcshah:
Its just you who gets that battery backup man! Way awesome! Check out my screenies i posted a couple pages back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
It's hard to say but looks good. Maybe I think you are medium to heavy user based on the graph showing on-screen and wake-up time.

I think, now it's time for you to find out the options to extend the battery life by changing some options thru settings and apps.

I've explained that many times through out my thread....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ankurcshah:
Well, I have turned of gmail sync. After turning it off i noticed hufe difference in battery life. Even haptic vibration is turned off and i have set the email sync to every 30 minutes. I guess there is nothing else that can be done to increase the battery life right?

Calk v1.6 4g reboot issue

Anyone here running Calkulin's V1.6 along with KO's tweaks can confirm whether the 4G reboot issue still exists (or not) with these tweaks please?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Interesting. Running Stock ICS FF11 I get around 3400 - 3700 Quads. After flashing 3.4F My quads drop significantly down to around the 2700 range.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
1.The score could be different between quadrant and antutu.

2. Kobridge tweak tries to minimize the high frequecy CPU usage by using both cores. So, it's not a bad thing even you get the 2700 quadrant score.

3. My recommendation is, try to use antutu and measure it many times (even I got the score at first time last night) because it's different every time.

4. there are a little difference between the purpose of (quadrants or antutu) and my tweaks. Those test are trying to maximize the CPU speed to get the better score but my tweak are trying to minimize the CPU speed if possible and if it can be processed within the current boundary of cpu speed and sampling rates.

So, getting the high score is not a good thing in the other words. In my case last night, I would say that CPU was busy at that time I was running the antutu, so the cpu speed was already in maximum and used high sampling rates. That's it. The reason I posted antutu score was I just wanted to show how it could run fast. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Whether I use antutu or quadrant standard shouldnt really matter. The intent is I am in fact using a benchmarking tool to attempt to measure system performance all around. I did a baseline test of Stock with no tweaks basically an unmodified system. I run multiple tests on stock and that is why I gave the range that I did because just like you said it will vary. I then ran you "fast" tweak pack and did the same thing ran a series of tests and benchmark scores dropped from 2600-2900 this a pretty significant drop if you ask me. I would think with this being the fast tweak pack that my scores should at least stay the same if not approve over stock. However in fact the dropped.

Also I know that each developer has there own preference on benchmarking tools. However mainstream reviewers for major sites like engadget also use quadrant standard to do performance benchmark I do believe it it a little more mainstream. But I think what tool is really mute. Cause once you establish a baseline. Then make modifications and see that the modifications you have made gives you scores the drop below your baseline it is a clear indication that your modifications are not performing as expected or designed.

I only mention this stuff because I am actually a 13 year vet software architect and I do this stuff all day long everyday building enterprise applications for large corporations. We run into performance issues all the time with concurrency and volume of traffic thoroughput poor performing machines you name it I have probably seen it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
I believe you understand what the CPU governor is. My tweak is based on the modified ondemand. Typical ondemand governor tries to maximize the CPU speed when the load comes. But I modified the ondemand governor behavior to slowly increase the CPU speed, so it stays as low speed as possible. That's the difference between the stock and mine.

As per say, you said that 13 years, for me, I'm on enterprise infrastructure IT and more than 20+ years after majoring c/s, s/e. You don't need to say your background here.

OK. Adding couple of more things about your concern.

If the benchmark score drop, then it's good thing. If it keep the same or higher than stock, it mean we might not get the battery savings from there because it runs always fast. The important thing is the capability about how it could run fast. Just like my score shows, it could run like that if it's required but most of time it stays low. Another example is, SF. If you test this, you may get 5xxx most of times but it also goes to 65xx or 66xx.

It takes a while to boot past the SGS2 screen. How long did you wait? My took a few minutes after flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
That's true. For any phone having zipalign tweak takes long first time and it may take up to 5 - 10 minutes maximum. Again only at first time.

Yes. Stock version. I seems like Kobridge Tweak is included in there but you can try different mode.

Let me know if there's anything I can help you.

If it's pre version, I do not support the pre version. But you can try current tweak over it (I've seen many users)

wifi only or 3G only - which one last longer

Based on what I said, I've tested couple of things-

1. Battery life when wifi turned on 24x7

2. Battery life when 3G turned on 24x7

1. When wifi turned on 24x7 (turned on even screen is off), my phone shows that there were about 2.5% drop in every hour (100% > 73% about in 9.5 hours)

2. Wehn 3G turned on 24x7 (no wifi, no 4G), the battery consumption was much slower than wifi. (73% > 62% about in 14 hours). A little more than 1 hour per 1% drop.

Based on my test with minimum wifi, 3G usage, it shows that 3G saves a lot more battery during the standby mode. This result could be different based on your area and signal strength.

Now I showed many things related to wifi, 3G and how it affects the battery life.

Only one thing that I did not test is 4G. It's really hard to make a test using 4G inside of my office because I don't have 4G signal at all. What I can try is, 4G random reboot issue. I'll try to turn on 4G and see if it happens....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Same problem for me, no 4G to test reboots with. The 4G reboot seems to only happen approximately every hour, so it is hard to test for. Also, an app should be open that will show up in notification bar or somehow won't go in background so if you are not watching the phone, you will know if it reboots.

BTW, I did get 4G reboot yesterday with Agressive tweak 3.3 on Calk v1.6 rom at almost exactly 1 hour after turning 4G on. I could not test beyond 1 hour sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Good to know and it's the common issue from everywhere. Once I get the reboot, I'll check if I can fix it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Custodian:
This reboot problem doesn't occur on the latest CM9 for me.

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
These days CM9 is moving so fast and it's really hard to track. I hope CM9 change the world! Onetime, I'll try to have it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Agree completely. I guess I'm one of the unlucky ones who's phone hardly ever goes into deep sleep w/ wifi on always, even using the KO tweaks, regardless of what ROM I run. So, just for fun, I set my wifi to turn off when the screen is off. I'm seeing way less drain. What's really strange is that wifi STILL wakes the phone up for short periods of time.

Gonna run the phone this way for a while and see how battery does over a full charge cycle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Have you tried setting wifi to Never?

Edit: See KO's quoted post below:

There could be several scenarios in here....

1. WIFI - always turned on at home (because wifi is available) with 'never' option. In this case, 3G will cover the data communication if 3g turned on during the deep sleep. If wifi signal is so strong, even you don't need to turn on 3G and use the wifi during the sleep mode by changing the wifi option.

If you don't need the data communication during sleep mode, then turn off 3G and make wifi sleep (never) during the sleep mode. With this option, your battery could last about 2 hours per 1% drop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Yep. That's where I generally have it set. GB ROMs this was clearly the way to go, but I've not been able to get my phone to sleep w/ wifi set to never on any ICS ROM yet.

So, in thinking more about this now, I think what I'm going to do is install a ROM clean, do nothing but connect to my wifi and set it to never. Then see if the phone sleeps or not. That way I'll at least be able to narrow it down to my phone period or something in the set of apps I always install.

Either way, I'm NOT going back to GB. I always have a charger around and ICS is just too good to leave.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Are you running tweak files? Which one on which rom? Did you check the wifi tweak log?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Have run several ROMs, but use CM9 most generally, with Moderate tweaks. I'll be honest here too, I didn't know about that log file. I'll dig thru the tread to find out more about it and report back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
OK, just did a clean install of CM9 Alpha 5 and /data/log/kobridge_tweak70.log shows:

Old wifi_idle_ms value was

Current wifi_idle_ms value is​

Doesn't look like the wifi tweaks are working (verified by looking at the db in Root Explorer too, no wifi_idle_ms found). Tweak11 worked (clean install, so everything was already aligned. Looks like 41 ran as well.

sqlite3 is at /system/xbin/ so not sure why it wouldn't have worked.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Which Kernel are you using?

Can you try to run wifi tweak using SManager manually by checking the 'root' only?

- if Smanager runs ok, then try to run it on boot and check the value from db after the reboot.

How the sqlite3 permission looks like? For v3.4, I did not include the sqlite3 is already inlcuded in CM9. For me, I set up the permission 755 with 'set uid' checked.

(also, there's one more chance that wifi idle ms value needs to be defined on system table instead of secure table - but I believe it's for GB based rom only. I'm not sure CM9 is keeping this value on system table)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Running Dees_Troy's kernel right now, but confirmed the script was not running correctly on stock as well.

First, I did verify that that ms_wifi_idle value was NOT defined before I ran the script. Ran w/ SManager. Output now is

Old wifi_idle_ms value was

Current wifi_idle_ms value is 10000​

Permissions for sqlite 3 are 755 w/ set uid UNCHECKED

Appreciate the help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Did you see any error or any additional message while running SManager?

Now you can disable SManager and can try it whether it shows both values?

4G reboots persist

Hey KO. Bad news for us on Calk's v1.6. I'm using the STOCK FE22 build.prop and stripped out all tweaks, init'd & otherwise (so I'm running naked here :eek:) and sure enough, at exactly 1 hour, the phone rebooted while on 4G. Don't know what else to try except maybe a different kernel and I'm not even sure which one to try with this ROM. Maybe I'll just d/l and flash the stock FE22 kernel too?

UPDATE: Well, stock kernel rebooted at the 1 hr mark too. I guess I'm out of options for the time being.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Now I'm 4G 1h 8 min. No reboot yet but 4G shows always 'x' mark under 4G.

I'm on Stock kernel/rom with my tweaks. I'm not sure it's kernel related or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
With the x on this ROM, it means not connected. I think if you go to settings -> About phone -> Status, you should see a 4G MAC address if you are connected. I have full bars and on 4G right now.

BTW, flashed SFhub's stock FE22 unlocked kernel. I want to test as closely to stock as possible without actually going to stock. Tnx - TD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
OK, so I re-downloaded the ROM and the tweaks. Wiped data, cache and dalvik and started from scratch.

All tweak files except the 70 wifi script ran fine. The wifi script logs show no value in either the Old or Current wifi_idle_ms. The settings db also show's no value for that.

Ran the script w/ SManager and it ran fine. It added the wifi_idle_ms field w/ a value of 10000.

Subsequent re-boots cause the 70 wifi script to run fine, showing Old and Current wifi_idle_ms as 10000.

I'm on CM9 A5 w/ Dees_Troy's kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Strange why 70wifi is not running first time. Anyway, good to hear it's working now at least your wifi would sleep. Please check that if it sleep ater 10 seconds when screen turned off. After 10 seconds, if you turn on the screen again, your phone will try to reconnect wifi. If wifi reconnect fails, then it's the stock issue. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Thanks for the help. I'm SLOWLY adding my apps back to make sure they're not part of the cause as well. I'm afraid its my corporate email account (required for my work).

Will report back when I've had a chance to check the wifi sleep as well as my apps.
