thanks for the support you have given to this nexus s community, we appreciate everything you have done. Seems like the constant updates, 10x daily will stop now and i don't have to worry about updating lol XD
[Nexus S Android Development] yihtang:
My favorite developer is now leaving nexus s... :(

If I recalled correctly, this kernel is one of the very first custom kernel for ICS, which is when I first rooted my phone. Immediately I hated the washout color of ICS and bedalus was the one who brought in voodoo color and I immediately flashed it over the stock kernel :) And that's how I found out thus thread. Although voodoo color was replaced for morfic color after a while, I have been keeping an eye on this thread, and flashed many of the kernels here. I must admit it is one of the best and most well managed thread with such a committed developer answering all questions and taking feedback (also, as someone pointed out earlier, bedalus is the first person to give me a "thanks" hit for a bug report, which is unexpected!)

Thanks for version 7.1.7, that will be the kernel that I will keep in my phone forever. The best, most stable, and with my favorite voodoo color and extra bigmem, and run extremely well with Android 4.2 with no reboots at all.

Thank you so much, bedalus! although I am not really that active in this thread, I am always amazed and thankful for your dedication in making the nexus s perfect. It is definitely the most worthwhile phone I ever have :D

version 7.2.1: http://goo.gl/HvUrp

-Higher memory, may be incompatible with some ROMs when recording video / youtube playback...

-Fix for a bluetooth issue (hopefully) which kept the device awake due to bluetooth not disabling properly, thanks to DerTeufel for the code, and alen1901 & Articudos for the heads-up

-1.32GHz step with 10% FSB OC

-Slightly lower screen refresh rate for AMOLED devices. Shouldn't affect SLCD.

The lower screen refresh rate is likely to be a bone of contention. Feel free to report back, I'm still here, still listening...

With 7.2.1 (cm version), does the 1.1 ghz still have the FSB/GPU overclock?

I got a reboot with 1.32 ghz with stock voltage on RasBeanJelly 4.2.1. Going up to 1375 helps.

Edit: Still got a reboot with 1.32 at 1375 voltage. I will try 1400 but I'm pretty sure this will suck the battery dry pretty dang quick.

Good to hear that attitude!

Was using 7.2 on CM 10 "Stable" on my i9020A for weeks and it gave me zero troubles, was using it in the 1096 MHz step. Got around 200+ hours of uptime, didn't pass from there because of switching a SIM card...

Using 7.2.1 right now on same configuration. Everything works flawesly, only but is that the 1.32 GHz step is harder for my phone, eats more battery and is more unstable.

The step that definetively I'll cry if it gets deleted is the 1096 MHz one!!! It's sweet for everything, gamming, videos, browsing, etc, etc!

Battery got better on my device with the lower screen refresh rate of latest test versions, looks good and has been stable this far.

BTW... in the kernel series that are any-kernel (7.1.3+), is it safe to just flash a version above the another, or wiping/reinstalling something is recommended?

1320 Mhz has reboot loop with me =.=
[Nexus S Android Development] anshumandash:
Try increasing ARM voltage for 1320 by +25. This worked for me. But in case you are still getting bootloops, you can increase +25 once more. This should ideally work.
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
What is the probability of our phones getting hard brick while doing this?
[Nexus S Android Development] anshumandash:
I have been testing 7.2.1. I think the screen refresh rate reduction is causing some kind of lack of smoothness. Not sure if others are also facing this.

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

As far as I know, there is no probability of getting the phone hard bricked by increasing the voltage values by +25 or +50.

[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Extremely small. Don't think I've ever read about a hardbrick case due to overclock. I've seen some due to bad flashes & battery pulls though.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
No plans to remove 1096MHz.

Yes, if you've already re-installed your ROM, you can now safely flash the any-kernel versions without any wiping.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
If you are using NSTools to restore your settings at boot, I recommend unchecking that tick-box before switching up the frequency.

If you're stuck there's a zip in arifhn's thread in the theme/app section that will reset NSTools from within CWM recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19070492&postcount=1
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Yeah, it's definitely not as smooth on AMOLED, but it's a small difference, not a big one. I may split the difference. It's at 52 now, so I'll go to 56.

You're not on SLCD are you? There shouldn't be any impact on SLCD devices. Unless I cocked something up, which is entirely possible. :p
[Nexus S Android Development] monsterduc1000:
Nice! At least we still have some bedalus love until you get your new toy =(.

I know it's a small drop, but when you get used to the buttery smoothness of 7.2, even a small drop to 52fps is pretty noticeable (to me anyway).

I also noticed with benchmarks such as antutu (got a BLISTERING 4330 on 1320mhz with 1400 voltage!!!) and quadrant (1439 on the same setting) that the max frame rate was around 40fps on the graphics tests. Did anyone else see this?
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Actually here is a test version: http://d-h.st/ppL

It has very low FPS (24) for amoled.

I need a SLCD user to test it and check that it works properly. If SLCD users get low FPS, my code isn't working how I want!

It's the AOSP version!
[Nexus S Android Development] jwee5467:
I am also getting lower fps on test kernel. About 25 fps during benchmarks.

I have a question about setting with ondemand ? I don't know if tweaking settings really increase battery life and if it does, What values I have to set ???

Thanks for your future responses ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] jwee5467:
The default settings are fine for battery life. When required quickly goes to 1000/1096/1320 and when idle/not doing much it drops to 100 pretty quickly. If u want to use it at middle frequencies u can set smartassv2 for that.
[Nexus S Android Development] kurigowa:
Thank you Bedalus! You have been on of the best developers here on XDA for Nexus S. Your humble and helpful attitude definitely over shadows any of your self-proclaimed amateur developing skills. I gave my NS4G to my sister to use as a WIFI only device and it truly runs great with your Kernel. BLN, Voodoo, battery and butter. That's a great combo! Any suggestions for most recent stable with an AOSP ROM (RBJ)? Gotta update her setup over the Holidays...

Thanks again!! Wish your lady got you a Nexus 4!!
[Nexus S Android Development] jwee5467:
I'm running latest RBJ 4.2.1 with BM tweaks and marmite 7.2.x. Currently 4.2.1 is smooth. 1096/100 on demand seems stable and buttery with good whole day of juice at minimum. Would also suggest action launcher since its sweet and integrates well with 4.2.1 got it on my nexus s and nexus 7.

Thanks for your answer by the way

Sent From My SlimBeaned Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] jwee5467:
Well sampling rate is 20000 if I remember correctly. If u want a more responsive ROM around this is the way to go with a high threshold. Morfic's Trinity kernel with 15000 and 98 threshold to give u an idea. That was the benchmark of snappy nexus s ROM for a long time.
[Nexus S Android Development] metalmoot:
Ok, and one last question, does it increase battery life to set a sampling rate to 120000 for example ? Because I think thAt cpu will be less active if sampling rate is high

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

thanks bedalus.. i'm not sure how do FPS and refresh rate actually relate.. maybe i'm mixing things up in a way it shouldn't be but.. are we losing 4 frames of project butter every second with 56Hz refresh rate? i assume, if the screen refreshes 56 times a second, it can't display 60 frames per second?!

also.. would you please tell me what was the refresh rate of v7.1.7/ v7.2?
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
60.

Think of the refresh rate as a hard limit of how many frames can be displayed. If the refresh rate is set just right, enough for the eye not to notice, but low enough, you can save cpu cycles. It is very popular in video games to limit the number of frames to be displayed but use animations, blur or other to save CPU cycles and make a game look good without taxing the system too much.

I've got 2 hour and an half of kernel wakelock in 6 hours of usage.. I've got almost 1 hour of power manager service.. What is it?

Inviato dal mio Nexus S con Tapatalk 2
[Nexus S Android Development] jwee5467:
Not less active. Basically sampling rate is how often it check phone for changes in load. If it passes threshold it will bump up frequencies. A high sampling rate like that will save a bit more battery but will also stay at frequencies longer. What I found if you were not using your device for performance or gaming is setting smartassv2 to start at a lower frequency if you are just browsing or reading forums. Also if your CPU is at a higher frequency, high sampling rate will not bump it down to 200000/100000 as quickly, also draining more juice. Basically the idea between the default ondemand settings is to work hard when in use and quickly idle when doing nothing, like listening to music.

[Nexus S Android Development] r_tarandus:
Is this true? I've been using Smartass with mostly default settings (the only thing I change is sleep_ideal_freq to 400000 Hz), and my battery life has been great with performance being OK. It's my understanding that Ondemand would just jump to your Max CPU freq, while Smartass jumps to awake_ideal_freq and then goes up/down depending on cpu usage. With this understanding, wouldn't Smartass be more battery efficient?

I'm no expert, so enlighten me if I'm wrong.
[Nexus S Android Development] jwee5467:
Relative to settings. And phone use. Bedalus has the smartassv2 set for performance/gaming. So you can tweak it for powersaving but it also behaves funny during sleep/screen off to me.

7.2.2 is really very smooth and also gives me great standby battery of <1% once I disable exchange sync, but keep other sync on like gmail, facebook, yahoo mail etc on.

Its also a tad bigger;) And be careful as the tegra 3 chip gets mighty hot under hevy load such as extended gaming:D. You will be pleased that it has a notification light under the speaker grill on the left side, so no more doddgy bln like on the nexus s. And if you dont like the onscreen menu bar you can change the multitasking button to act as a menu button when you long press on it. And for the holidays you will be pleased to know that you can record full hd videos and simultaneously snap pictures that can automatically be uploaded to free 24gb of dropbox space, ready to be shared with your loved ones:D.
