There is some evidence that there exists a bottom threshold for efficiency as regards clock speed on a given processor. Basically below a certain speed, you use more electricity to perform a given task because the cpu stays awake longer. That speed could be in the 300s for the s3 but it would have to be tested (Sammy I'm sure did some testing on this).

My phone doesn't always ring quickly on an incoming call with the bottom two clock speeds so I leave the floor at 384Mhz.

No max offscreen and using same gov/sched/etc because it's critical to business that I not miss certain calls. Letting clock/gov/schedule stay same for me lets calls pop up instantly and be answerable, occasional lags when offscreen is set differently.

Finally got this running smoothly. I had to Disable KTweaker, delete the apk from system/app, then reboot into recovery and flash the 4/11 kernel. Running smooth as butter with nice 6000+ Quadrant scores :D

For some reason, Antutu keeps crashing when I try to run a benchmark though. Anyone else experience this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Antutu has serious issue on the last 2 issues, same issues on both S3 and Nexus 10. Hopefully they will release a patch soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ndno:
Hi ktoonsez, I just upgraded to the latest version from the Feb version. I had to clear my old ktweaker Settings because the loading it on the new ktweaker version and kernel causes my phone to be unstable, maybe because the frequencies did match. Anyways I cleared the settings and manually updated the ktoonservative governor settings settings to match what I was using previously hoping to get similar battery performance. On the old Feb version I was getting 35 to 40 hours per charge on normal usage. On the new kernel and ktweaker I'm getting less than 20 hours per charge. I'm guessing my settings aren't optimized for battery performance since there seem to be new options. Or should I run this for a few days before everything stabilizes and settles and the battery calibration will take a few charge cycles to show the real usage?

I went to a couple other threads to see what other people are using in their ktoonservative settings and I'm using the same basic settings like theirs. Please let me know what is a good set of ktoonservative settings to use for good battery performance. I'm not over clocking at all. Thanks for your awesome work on this.

If antutu is creaking try raising your voltages slightly, that should fix it

Really? My voltages are KT defaults right now. By slightly, do you mean increase each by 25? Or even less?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Just do as little as possible and see if it happens, if it doesn't it's because your phone doesn't like those voltages, if it died keep raising it slightly... if it keeps happening after raising it a few times then your phone, the kernel and antutu aren't playing nice together

I'm going to be honest.... it's not that rare is have to press the power button more than once to get my phone to wake up... and when u do get calls there's a good 5 second delay from that first vibration to me seeing a name and number on the screen...

i just figured if those really low frequencies were purposely included with the kernel they were meant to be used... I raised the voltages back up above 800 and it's been much more settled and quick from sleep now at that 81mhz.

Thanks ktoonsez. No, I'm not OCing. Anyways the battery is looking a lot better now after running it a little longer after a couple charge cycles. I downloaded the battery calibration apk, ran it and recalibrated my battery and it's working good now: just 3% drop after 2 hours.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] socos25:
I'm not sure why benchmarks are so important? I've never found them to relate to real life. What gives me the best benchmark score is not what makes my phone perform the best.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Man, I've been saying that throughout the thread. No one cares. The higher numbers make their phones feel faster, and that's what's important. No one cares that a lot of tweaks that make the phone feel more responsive during everyday use actually lower benchmark scores. It's hard to brag about having a responsive, consistent experience when your friend just got 542,831,793^3.14 on some random benchmark. I mean, his phone has higher numbers to prove it's better. Don't pay attention to the stutter, lag, constant app crashes, and reboots. Higher numbers are obviously always better.

That said, benchmarks have their place. They are extremely useful diagnostic tools, but only when used correctly. And that's not how most users on XDA are using the benchmarks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Good positive results for me on Sio with Conservative.

Ktoonsez your app and Kernel are already top notch, and if your open to future requests I'd love to see Governor adjustments added to your Ktweaker as I don't want to use anything else now but Ktweaker. I after learning how to manually do what a portion of your app does on the beta for of your Kernel 8/18 I truly appreciate and love the design of KTweaker. It succeeds where the other 5-6 cpu apps don't. It sets cpu as I want no bull and no clashing apps since I don't need multiple apps to set up what this KTweaker does alone. All the permissions you have it fix for us is unique to this app. I found volts working good similar to yours Ktoonsez. I used the whole range so at 96mhz I only went as low as 850mv. Any lower and it isn't stable under stability test over time.... I got 8 hours no prob at 96mhz on 850mv. I have been surprised how optimized these Snapdragons are even at 96mhz they can still calculate a fair amount.

So how did 2106mhz come about. I is that the max the cpu can be set to or can you guys experiment more and add 2200 at 1375-1400mv? Lol the current set up is fine.... Just wondered about these MSM8960 Snapdragons capabilities. Lol I'm probably only one that even wonders ;), this is amazing stuff on Mobile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Thanks bro, the gov adjustments is my next thing to add so it is coming :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Smac7:
I know quadrants aren't really the most accurate or useful things in the world, but sometimes they can show you some issues and what not. Does it sound normal for me to be getting 3500 at 1500 mhz (performance gov). Seems pretty low to me and I noticed some hiccups when scrolling with nova launcher (though it seemed to look better when I slowed down the animation speed).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Sounds like ur phone is just running hot and going into protection mode. Dont know the equivelant of quad, but a few of us are getting 9000+ on Antutu with a cooled off phone.

/Hey man, just wanna say solid work here on the latest release from you running Jellybro 8/21 build. Using your voltages from page 38 Conservative Gov., UC to 1134. This hasn't skipped a beat, no lag or anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Smac7:
I just retried this morning and got 4600, which sounds right for this phone. Was it going slow last night cause the battery was at like 35 percent? Or maybe since something was going on in the background?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pastert33:
What most likely it was, the phone has a built in heat protection that throttles the phone if it reaches a certain temp. When I ran trinity kernel with the app, there was a way to shut it off. Would be great to see such a setting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Smac7:
I don't recall my phone feeling hot though.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Its not totally universal between AOSP and TJ, alot of different options on both sides.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
But wouldn't ktweaker just ignore any setting it didn't understand for the TW version and vice versa? I mean I don't see any bad symptoms from using his tweaks on TW.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
That is correct, the sysfs will ignore any missing elements. But the problem that could arise is certain settings just usually need to be different. Example would be the "up_threshold" and "up_threshold_hotplug" they usually need to be lower in the AOSP version since it sleeps like a baby (usualy 6-17% of CPU) even during use, where as TJ is almost always using 50-70% of the CPU just for the mediaservice plus the 300+ other apps/services running constantly. Thats all I was really concerned about.

3. Remove Ktweaker SU permissions

4. Reboot

5. Let it boot up, ignore Ktweaker asking for permission

6. Boot into Recovery

7. Wipe Cache

9. Wipe Dalvik

10. Flash Kernel

11. Wipe Cache

12. Wipe Dalvik

13. Fix Permissions
