Where???

Ok for undervolting CPU/GPU, all kernels arround here have this feature, but for something else :confused:

On a side note "undervolting all you can" is like "I want more free RAM"... Sometimes the more is not the best... Let the stuff goes by itself...

Why always would undervolt??? It's quietly noticiable in term of battery life...

I never undervolted my phones (HTC Desire HD, Sensation, Galaxy Nexus) and I have the same battery life as the guy who undervolt at -50/-100mV or more her CPU (or GPU for some kernel/phone)...

Mostly it's an urban legend that undervolted will greatly improved your battery life... Within a certain limit you'll have more problems than anything else...

Just a thought :)

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

I forgot something... The biggest consumer of battery is the screen not the CPU or GPU. Like the Gnex if we could undervolt some parts of the sreen settings, and I insist that for the Gnex I tested, maybe here for the GSIII screen there would be an improvement, other than that I do not see where there would be a real improvement undervolting the CPU/GPU... To win what? 20 min of battery life...??? Nothing too obvious... At least for me...

Instead of wanting to take any "extreme" undervolt, if you have battery drain probleme more than the "normal", check your settings,synchro, widgets, etc... With some wrong settings like these you can undervolt your CPU/GPU or anything else, it will not change anything.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] RazielSasy:
urban legend? Have you ever heard of Ohm's law?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tolis626:
Well,undervolting on a phone the caliber of the SIII isn't all about battery life.The sole reason I undervolt for is reducing the heat generated by the circuits because I overclock and that tends to be a problem sometimes.The improvements in battery life aren't big,but they certainly are there,especially if one undervolts by quite a few mV.

Undervolting the bus however is all but good.I remember the days of the S2,when we could freely modify bus voltages.There's one word to describe the outcome;instability.Kernel panic after kernel panic and freeze after freeze,I realized we shouldn't have been undervolting the bus since the beginning.Not to mention corruptions in file systems.Overvolting/overclocking the bus,however,can help with stability when overclocking and reduces bottlenecks,especially when the overclocked component is the GPU with all the bandwidth it needs.I,therefore,am all for overclocking/overvolting the bus(Albeit slightly because this causes instabilities too sometimes),but not undervolting it. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
Hi,

No... Just all my personnal tests ;)

Theory and practice are two different things...

Obiously I'm not a dev... so what I said... :rolleyes:, just tested a few things, quite a long time (kernel related settings) in REAL use on a few phones/kernels/Android version/ROM's, etc.... Undervolting does not help more than that about battery life... FOR ME AND MY USE...

If it works for you, great ;) and ok you can undervolt if it works for you and for your battery life+if the "Ohm's law" help you... Nothing to add...

I have not said that it did not matter, I just said that the improvement was not large as can be read here and there ... And yes this is almost nothing compared to what I have tested, it's like "whooooo undervolting all my CPU steps freq give me 2h more screen-on time and blabla"... :rolleyes:

So, for me, undervolting is nothing :D

:)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mamba720027:
I agree with undervolting the screen,I rember this being done on my old nexus s and had good battery improvements and in some cases evin limiting the screen MHz which won't be sounding good to gamers lol. The galaxy s3 has plenty of battery life for me though,so far I have good battery life useing this kernel but would be kewl to test this screen thing out :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] RazielSasy:
I was wrong. I agree with you, undervolting does not do miracles but in my opinion helps then: why not?

that's all :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] S1N1ST3R:
I mainly undervolt for the heat: Used to run about mid 40s playing games, now its never above 40 and around 38 so that's a major improvement especially when you live in a hot tropical country. But you can't forget the thrill! It's like my crack. :P
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Yes i agree...it's way too hot for me at stock settigs...:)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] thyttel:
****, I would exchange my phone just to live in a tropical country!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bala_gamer:
it will become permanently impossible if we use that extreme it seems :D eargasm to eargone :D:D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mumin:
I can see the beta 6 > rc1 changelog, I'm not asking for eta but I didn't find a download link. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] EdgaBimbam:
Need to wait a bit :) maybe tomorrow we will get it :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] radeonxt:
for those who complained of the sound being ear destroying instead of eargasm when using headset, they are those who love to listen in full volume always.even if they're using default 57db for headset, using full volume + eargasm is very loud. they need to set negative digital gain higher so that their ears won't get destroyed hehe.

btw, negative digital gain also works for speaker.

oh and thanks for the heads up for rc1.

removed speaker amplification? this is one of the reason why i installed this kernel, no need to cwm flash the 63 volume mod for speaker.then when i want default, flash the default volume. in this you don't need to flash anymore, stweaks is there way easier and faster.of course the main reason is ov/uv and oc/uc capabilities and the sound tweaks.

removed eq for speaker? 63 for speaker amp + bass&treble eq was perfect for speaker.

hope speaker tuning and tuning level is really good replacement for speaker amp.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Noooooooooo!

Why is the speaker eq removed?And also amplification?? :(

Can those be set manually atleast gokhanmoral?

They were really really great! :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FadeFx:
Guys, please forget about undervolting the screen, I had a test with nikademus on his kernel for the s1 and it gave only problems, the screen got obviously more hot because at lower voltage it consumes more ampere to do the same also touch responsiveness gave a lot of problems and it was really bad on the battery.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] elloar:
:( i will also stay on old Beta 6 . I need eq for speaker and i love it. Release does not mean we have to flash it :)

Thank you GM for your work.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Couldn't agree more mate...:)

I'm sure gokhanmoral is doing his best! :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yes I think I remember that too. I wouldn't go down the uv screen route either.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mumin:
Because they where not to the standards GM likes, they had distortion and a lot of it at louder volumes. This need to be fixed
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] DirkStorck:
A real nice function would be of you change the GPU frequence than the default voltage is automatically adjusted.

Could you please add that :)

Thanks

Well maybe with your settings you were having distortion..

But i didn't had that problem with mine nor many others did...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mumin:
Okay, I have the eargasm preset with no amplification tweaks, and I use power amp, with default tweaks.

Cm9 stable is out, i am thinking of giving it a go. But siyah's kernel is cm10 compatible, or is it compatible as well?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mgf8384:
Getting excellent performance and brilliant battery life with this kernel. I followed GM's specs in his sig. Im still learning but im well impressed! Working well for me with Omega. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] poczynek:
Is there a way of saving your settings in ExTweaks or STweaks?? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tolis626:
For the moment Siyah is just compatible with every ROM based on ICS and JB.So yeah.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] TYA.:
I tried maximum UV allowed for GPU.

Take a look!

Siyah 1.5b6

Freq(Mhz) _ Vol (mV)

You can pick up any 4 freq to make your gpu operate, not any problem.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FadeFx:
Did u test with gl-benchmark 2.5? If voltage is to low you get artefacts...

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] EdgaBimbam:
Way too low, at the beginning everything will be ok but later you will get screen artifacts....
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
That's why you have distortion! :p

You phone's speaker can't take eargasm for equalization,it needs way less bass mate.

I'ts a phone not a high end hi-fi system...:)

Try this...you may like it you may not...it's just my settings...

this thread is becoming usless for development bugs. :eek:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jonitfcfan:
Hi,

Just tried searching within this thread to see if this has been talked about before but didn't find anything initially, so here goes...

I've been experimenting between Siyah and Franco on my S3 and so far Siyah seems to offer a bit more for me (haven't got round to updating my sig yet :p). I wanted to ask out of interest about the LED blinking: I notice with this kernel that it fades in/out rather than being a straight on/off action such as with Franco, which personally speaking is my preferred method. Is there an easy/hard way to switch to a straight on/off blinking instead of fading or is the default fading "hard-coded" somehow from the time of kernel compilation? Also how easy/hard would it be to have a "live toggle" of sorts within the app to switch between these two methods on the fly to give users the choice?

The kernel otherwise runs very well for me and gives me lots of options in the STweaks app to play with. Any help on the above would be appreciated. Thanks :).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jnr21:
@gokhanmoral: i have small feature request, it would be nice if we can save stweaks settings easily, yes we can backup conf file, but can you make some save settings button to stweaks app?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] IamMartin:
Can anyone help me out?

I've been having problems getting Siyah to work on Galaxy S3 using Faraayb's SuperNexus ROM [Build 2]. It's an i9300T so I'm using the TDULE6 modem as that's optimised for my phone.

When I flash Siyah in CWM and reboot, it shows the screen saying "Samsung Galaxy S III i9300T" but it doesn't get past that and just shows a black screen and turns itself off?

Is there anyway to get Siyah to work? (I've used the latest stable and beta builds)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] narcosis34:
Its only for international GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
I decided to go ROM testing this weekend. Right now on SuperNexus b2 but I made a nandroid of CM9 yesterday before switching to this. For the entire day I used the 0811 nightly and siyah v1.5b6, and I didn't notice any bugs related to incompatible kernel. That being said I didn't test every feature...

Honestly, just try it. If it doesn't work right then flash another kernel. You can flash stock either by extracting it from cm update zip file or just flash the stable update over top again.

Apparently camera is bugged even on CM9 stable. I opened it but didn't really use it so I don't have input on that.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dannyc93:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Urgent!!Please help...:(

Hey guys...

I made a foolish mistake in trying to enable swap partition and at swapper 2 i used mmcblk0p3 instead of mmcblk0p4 resulting in having no imei/signal right now! :(

I have the efs backup thank god...but how do i restore it??

Please help,i'm freaking out right now...:crying:

EDIT:Just found out about ktool!It worked wonders!! :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] baste07:
how did you backup efs before?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chillz88:
Siyah automatically backups your efs.. if you havnt, you can also do it by using HC-kTool app..its free from the market.. you can even dump your efs,restore it and even dump your current kernel in it and many more .. backup your efs, its important if you mess up
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
It was the automatic backup Siyah kernel did...

But now i have another problem!

The imei is ok,i can see my number in about phone->status

but it says no service!

Service state is out of service,Mobile Network state is Disconnected and Mobile Network type is Unknown!

But in signal strength i have a variable number which means i get signal now...

What is going on?? :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chillz88:
Maybe your apn got deleted??
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
No the apn settings are there...:/

In ktool i went to check backup and it said nv_data.bin NOT FOUND in backup!!

But i opened the .tar.gz but the file is there...what the hell...? :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Heh..it would be! :D

But now i can't find any network..:/
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Daelyn:
Partition 4 of mmcblk0 contains param.bin. boot logo and some stuff. Why did you wanna use that? Partition 10 contains hidden.img and ends up mounted on /preload where you have a demo video and some sound sample etc. IMHO a better choice. I do not use swap myself though.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Yes got my lesson!

stay away from swap...:p

Now what should i do in this uncomfortable position i'm in..?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nikorette:
This is what you do.. worked for me I was in the same situation.

Nand backup with CWM.

Triangle Away.

Flash Stock ROM, Kernel and Radio with Odin (PC Version) [At this stage check your mobile connectivity. If there is still a problem you're ready for a warranty claim. Don't go further. If your network connection returns go to the next step]

Re-Root/Install CWM

Flash Old Kernel (Siyah)

Restore CWM backup.

If you know what you're doing shouldn't take more than 20-30 minutes and you don't have to muck around with installing apps and heat have you. I ran into this solution cause I just could restore my /efs and was preparing for warranty when my mobile started working again.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Yeeeeeeeees!!!

I finally fixed it,thank god...^^

A big thanks to everyone that helped me!Big or small help i don't mind,i really appreciated it...:)

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
I used the wrong partition for swap mate and i accidentially used the efs one!so i lost imei and all that was on that partition...

Luckily i unpacked the efs image i had,i placed it on the root of my sd card,formated and restored my efs from the image using ktool...and now it works like before! :)

No odin,no stock again just this...

Everything else didn't had any effect!
