[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fiernaq:
Trying it out now. I'm not an expert on this stuff but as far as I can tell no problems before or after install (Lightweight 0.5 with Agat 6.8 and FI27). Quick question concerning governors and gears since I haven't messed with placebo in a while - should I still be using the "shift 3" to get to gear 3 or does beta 3.1 no longer require gear changes? Also, I noticed that System Tuner for some reason only shows 4 governors (both before and after the placebo install): userspace, powersave, ondemand, and performance. I tried looking up pegasusq to see if it existed using ls /system/xbin and it's there but typing "pegasus" gives me a permission denied error. I checked the permissions and from what I can tell pegasus currently has rw-rw-r--. Should I be changing that to rwxrw-r-- with chmod or is there some other trick to switching to pegasusq?

Much thanks btw. Placebo has helped me get much better battery life for quite some time now and it's only because I change ROMs so often that I have difficulty getting things configured again.

*EDIT*

Battery is draining like a bathtub that got shot by a shotgun. Very high % of CPU time is at 800 or 1.2 even just sitting on the home page with all apps closed. Currently still using the same ondemand governor and only change made so far was installing placebo 3.1.

*EDIT 2*

So after quite a mess with the above - battery was draining even plugged in and the phone was heating up so I had to turn the phone off and let it charge up a bit before flashing a recovery ROM - I finally found a post that answered my questions. Apparently, the main difference between Agat's repack and Agat's source is that repack is just stock with a few tweaks and only has 4 governors whereas the source one actually contains all of his modifications including a whole slew of governors. The naming scheme on those two seems wonky and ambiguous to me but once you figure that bit out it starts to make a little more sense. Anyways, I'm back on a fresh version of Lightweight 0.5 (installed EL26 stock rooted first but forgot to clear stuff when I put LW back on so I ended up with a triangle which meant I had to flash the FI27 stock rooted in order to put TriangleAway on it long enough to clear that so I could flash LW again... *sigh* fun fun) and this time I chose Agat's source 6.8 so so now System Tuner shows pegasusq as an option. Placebo (Hexen version this time) now gives me the following error message:

app_72@android:/ # pegasus
/system/xbin/pegasus[2]: cannot create /etc/init.d/governor: Read-only file system
app_72@android:/ # + exec
+ > /etc/log/placebo.engine.log
/etc/init.d/Placebo[284]: cannot create /etc/log/placebo.engine.log: Read only file system

Not entirely sure what's going on but System Tuner has successfully set pegasusq as the governor so I don't know if the rest of the placebo settings are in effect or what (still have no clue how placebo actually works :eek:) but I'll run with this for now until something else comes up.

*EDIT 3*

Finally found a root explorer that allowed me to mount /system as RW (FX File Explorer with the FX Root module installed had the option whereas ES File Explorer and Root Browser Lite had no such option that I could find). Typing pegasus into terminal now gives me this:

app_72@android:/ # pegasus
app_72@android:/ # + exec
+ > /etc/log/placebo.engine.log
+ 2>&1

Did that work? If so I may go back and try Placebo 3.1 Beta again now that I have a slightly better idea of what I'm doing.
