Looking good here on AOSP Ktoonsez. Benchmarks arent important but when they work right they show progress.

2106mhz no freezer or cooling at all ever used when i bench. I used 1280mv to accomplish cooler temps but for me its stable and wont shut my phone down. My temps dropped average of 50f at that frequency. Performance governor for consistency and CFQ scheduler at stock tunables. Its funny people put their phone in a freezer Ktoonsez.

10/22 AOSP Kernel

Early october AOSP kernel

Even earlier in kernels developement september ish

Quadrant is broken ive benched in past on ICS Touchwiz and Quadrant scored higher vs AOSP and Antutu was accurate and showed Antutu lower on Touchwiz. The new JB Touchwiz likely shows more performance than ICS. As Freecharlesmanson has stated the AOSP linux base is newer and faster. Unless Antutu scores the new JB touchwiz at the above settings higher than the above then its accurate to state that AOSP is getting in fact higher performance than JB Touchwiz. Yes Quadrant gets double the cpu score but unless Antutu shows an equal increse this is a placebo effect.

What do you call the above? Progress Ktoonsez style :thumbup: :D

what a fantastic kernel. Love it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Please do not flood this thread with benchmarks and battery screenies. Let's stick to development and troubleshooting others' issues

Perhaps someone wants to make a thread in General to discuss battery and benchmarks on this kernel.

Thank you for your cooperation

You may have to fix permissions in recovery, I had to in order to get it to flash properly. I went into recovery, flash kernel, wipe dalvik/cache then fix permissions. I had a black screen appear an hour or so in but probably due to my overclocking so be careful. Just my 2cents.

I've re downloaded, wiped caches, fixed permissions, wiped app data, and ktweaker still fc on me every time I open "screen off profile". I have read through the thread, but I am at a loss. I'm on the latest kernel. I'm open to suggestions. Would a logcat help?

I do appreciate your work, I don't appreciate being talked to like I'm illiterate. I'm not one of these people who clog up threads wanting to be walked through every little step that has nothing to do with the OP. I get that sometimes it just gets old, answering the same dumb questions over and over. It would just be nice if everyone had just a little patience for the average user, and saved the condescending tone for the trolls.

No matter what I do...after flashing the kt747 kernel..I go into rom control and try to change it to ktoonservative but when I try to set it to set on boot the phone freezes completely and I have to shut it off and reboot. i flashed everything the way it says in the o.p....any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elosogrande7076:
I'm using sonics new job ROM and downloaded the KT jb version of the kernel and my phone is constantly freezing. I have wiped cache before flashing, flash the kernel, and fixed permissions using twrp recovery...did I do something wrong ...any ideas why its constantly freezing? Thanks

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

Same here...mine sometimes freezes before I get to try to change the governor
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Did you download the TouchWiz version (which is what you want), or the AOSP version (will not work on that ROM.) Also, can you describe in more detail whay "freezing" looks like?

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

Sounds like you had the problem I just asked about a page back. look back just a few posts and you'll see the link to replace the offending app. Make sure to read the instructions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elosogrande7076:
Thanks for the reply....yes I downloaded the tw version from the op...it literally freezes...I can't do anything with my phone...I have maybe two minutes before this happens once I boot my phone. Once it gets like this I can only remove the battery to get it functioning again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blown00gtp:
that worked...it let me change it all but as soon as i went to voltage setting afterwards..it froze again lol..i dont know what the problem is now...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Did you install the fixed KTweaker app that was just posted? Did you undervolt? Any other tweaks running that might be conflicting? Did you try a fresh download?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
No one said you were illiterate, you said "I have read through the thread" so I had to laugh since that was only a few pages back and Im pretty sure the only one with big red letters in it, so just have fun man like I do and Im not putting anyone down:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Custodian:
Well shidddd atleast your phone boots. After the first install mines boots. Then I restart the phone it won't boot lull
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Have you ran previous versions of my kernel or is this your first version? Some phone are not agreeing with the optimization flags I have been compiling with in the last 2-3 versions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blown00gtp:
this is my first time running your kernel. I did a clean wipe before I installed the blackbean 6 rom. I tried your kernel cleaner and I also did the Ktweaker apk fix. not sure what I could of did wrong here...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
I dont think its anything your doing, doing a clean install with nothing else was a good move, Im thinking your just one of the unlucky ones that have a phone that doesnt like custom kernels :(. I come from the SGS2 world and had 3 kernels. One (Siyah) would NOT run at all on my phone but the other 2 did, some could run 2 out of the 3, these phones are a wierd bunch and with I knew more aobut why these things happen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blown00gtp:
Ok well im just gonna give it a try with stock kernel and see what happens...thanks for the help though

---------- Post added at 04:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 AM ----------

Could the "noop" setting be causing the problem? it seems to freeze up right when I set it to noop
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
I think its the stress of writing to any sysfs files on your phone. Noop is the most basic scheduler so I doubt its noop, you could try selecting BFQ just to prove the theory.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elosogrande7076:
that the thing, i didnt get a chance to do any of those. As soon as I flashed the kernel it started freezing. I tried a fresh download (this time from a few pages back where it listed for CWM) and that didnt work. I going to reflash rom then try reflashing the kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
If you say so. I have no hard feelings, it's just that the written word lacks some subtlety. I've just had some rough stuff in real life, so I guess that filters through here sometimes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bizzshow26:
Thank you so much for this kernel I'm running stock odexed lj7. I my phone is now a monster it powered through everything but the battery. You sir have have put me between a rock and a hard place pick up the note or just keep this and wait for the sgs4. And with how my phone now runs i thing I want to wait I'm running at 1728-1809 but have pulled 320mflops on linpack which is crazy high
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Thanks man, I would wait for the S4 if I were you, Im 99% sure I will be getting the S4 when it comes out, money permitting :p :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bizzshow26:
Yeah I'm thinking I will have an upgrade waiting. I need to throw a few bucks your way on the first I remember running your and task aokp build when I was using the sgs2 on att
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elosogrande7076:
Just reflashed Sonic rom with no problems then followed OP directions to a T and still freezing....not sure what gives....going to try another rom combination (PARANOIDANDROID and the aosp kernel) and see if that works
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
You should try mine and tasks AOKP, might have better luck there :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elosogrande7076:
didnt know you had a rom also....aosp is usually not my thing but i have heard great things about your work, I will give it a try and report back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Brandonrz:
Battery life on this kernel is amazing!! I used to think kernels didn't make a big difference on the battery. But I sure as hell was wrong after using this. The only time I would use a kernel is for the speed. :) wow...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] travisd4est:
To all the people with freezing issues. First, guy with rom control, get rid of that and use the one that comes with the kernel. Ive been on this and was able to change everythjng with no problems. Ya dont want to have two controlers fighting over each other.

Second. What values are you guys using? Maybe you're not putting in the right ones??

Ive heard mixed reviews with rom control setcpu and toolbox. I usually stick to what comes with the kernel. If one dosnt then try nstools. Never let me down.

My two cents.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
I'll donate to see you on It At release week, by far you have taken the time to write a much more thorough kernel.

I'm definitely gonna get it first month it's out

Thought about getting a note 2but... no way
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phyba:
Ktoonsez thanks for all your help trying to get this kernel running but it's still not sleeping or performing well. Crazy cause your aosp kernel worked great on my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
This custom kernel fixes the games that didn't work on stock rom. Thank you so much for this.

(plague Inc no longer crashes.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] foshozee:
Thanks for the great kernel. One issue im having is when I go to type anything the keyboard would lag. The words would eventually catch up to my typing and be fine after that. But the lag is very noticable. I am on freeSG3 jb, is anyone else experiencing this and if so any fix for it. I am using koonservative min 192 max 1512 and sleep max at 486. Everything else left stock in ktweaker. Thanks in advance for any help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Bump up your minimum value, it's too low.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Its probably the 192mhz, takes time to ramp up. The keyboard is the least optimized app due to dictionaries and what-not. Its not the kernel though, trust me :D :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vng10:
what would be an ideal governor for sleep??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Did an experiment this morning. Charged fully, turned off data and sync (to eliminate issues not kernel related) and went out into the world. It took 4 hours to drop 1%!!! I set off screen max to 144Mhz and currently using intellidemand and cfq. Intellidemand I think will be in the next TW release but Ktoonservative will give you the same results. With data and sync on I get 1% drop in 2 hours with some push emails and others set to sync only once a day since I check them manually.

Great job Ktoonsez!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Thanks man, glad it is working soooooooooooooo good. :good: :highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] travisd4est:
I had the same problem after a restore. But I was on stock kernel. Un modified.

But yeah. Bring up that 192 lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Xalky:
Somebody raised a point earlier about getting rid of other controllers, such as voltage control, Rom toolbox , etc. Any other app that has the ability to set kernel parameters should be removed when using this kernel. Use ktweaker which is in this thread, to control this kernels parameters, it's made for this kernel and works great. :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
I use the same profiles no issues. But I did notice this behavior in tw jb I think it's a read write latency issue. You could use a app or some other to overlay CPU load and freq information to watch it scale. It's almost instantaneous though. I do use touch booster but only for web browsing and it's set low 594
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
For the life of me I can't figure how to write over the ktweak with new I did what it says but I went storage but I can't find it my app folder do I have to use root explore or something that

Ty and have a good day n plz be respectful n post in that tread
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
I have other apps that can change clock speeds, voltages, governors, etc. like System Tuner and ROM toolbox, but I don't have those set to conflict with Ktweaker settings and I make sure they aren't set to apply on boot. That being said I have no problems there.

Yes, you will need a file manager with root permissions like Root explorer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] travisd4est:
Yea. Root explorer is what I use for things as such.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Check out the tunables for Ktoonservative if you want faster performance tune it for that. Lower up threshold, higher freq step, lower sample rate or sampling down factor are each in their own capable of more performance or better battery but more sluggish by slight adjustment up or down of those values. Ive got mine tuned to ramp right up and ramp right down. I do see my upper frequency often but only during use and its only a peak as it goes right back to idle very fast.

If you want to monitor whats happening at half a second refresh rate, dow load Cool Tool of playstore for free and set to show cpu usage value, cpu frequency and show a bar graph of cpu usage and in advanced settings set to show per cpu usage. I like to add a bar graph with usage of cpu frequency and i use a bar graph with history set to frequency to see easier when its been idle or busy since cpu usage is directly related to frequency because of governors it makes sense to watch frequency over time more than cpu usage visually. You can see how i have it in posts above i think. Depending on governor settings our cpu can adjust speed at a rate of 1/100 of a second maybe i have that wrong but in any case you have to watch closely since monjtoring program i suggested updates at only once every .5seconds so it makes it a game of watching usage over time to feel really how governor ramps up the cpu. Watch and adjust your tunables as needed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
LOL, Its audio out of the second audio port :D :good:

What is real spelling and Ill look if its referenced in the kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
OK update on my previous post on testing standby power of this kernel. After the first 4 hours it dropped to 99% left. I then turned on data and sync and when I got home 5 hours later it was at 95%! What a winner for long lasting battery life! Thanks again K!!!!

Tomorrow I will start using the heck out of it out in 3G land and see how it handles that.

This shows that if you are getting bad battery life first turn off data and sync and see if that stops it.If not it is a bad app if it does start checking running services for apps that may be trying to use data or sync.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vng10:
Are you at default settings like 1512 max and 384 min?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
144 and 1512 I/o noop and ktoonesnative
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Someone said earlier it may be related to screen touch sounds being enabled. I have mine tuned off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
The jelly bomb from I'm on has the shutter sounds removed on it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] icepuente:
AudioOut_2 does indeed have to do with touch sounds. It has no effect on battery and is nothing to worry about. Notice how it is only held for 15 mins.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
OK I see that now just wanna say thanks to everyone for all the help its greatly appreciated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Looks like it from a search. I verified it is no where in the kernel so it is a ROM origin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vng10:
Kenny what are your settings at for max and min?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
OK buddy thx man just going to do a complete wipe of everything and see what that does for me I think I have dirty flashed way to much and its got my phone all messed up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Brandonrz:
Will this work for miui?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Wakelocks happen whether the phone is awake or asleep. A wakelock is exactly what it sounds like it locks the phone awake so whatever it is can perform its function. As audioOut_2 is related to touch sounds, it's obviously not causing the phone to come out of deep sleep. But touch sounds themselves do affect battery.

Can you tell me or does anyone else know after flashing a new kernel if we get the media server/scanner battery drain should we force stop this or is this something that we need to let happen for a few charge cycles until it goes away on it's own? Is this part of the ROM "settling" in?

it's part of Android. Everytime you reboot Android will scan your media

I only have that happen when I'm running benchmarks

From post 2:

"FYI: CM10 does not want to cooperate with the max Mhz settings from my scripts, since it is a beta ROM, so you will have to set it manually with "Voltage Control" or run the script I put in "/system/etc/init.d/00post-init""

I just hit almost 5600 on AOSP. It seems it's still having trouble staying; but you can give it a shot
