Ondemand governor question

I'm hoping someone can give me a hand with some tweaks I am trying to make to the ondemand governor.

I have made a bunch of cpu governor tweaks using ktweaker but when I set the up_threshold it doesn't really get set and when I check the permissions of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/up_threshold are r--r--r--.

I have set a script in /etc/init.d to set the permissions on the file and set the up_threshold to my value of 95 but soon after boot it gets reset to 75 and the permissions are changed back.

If I run the script, everything gets set correctly but soon gets reset.

Is this the ondemand governor or the kt747 kernel doing this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

As far as I remember some of the options for some governors are read only and not able/meant to be changed. Ktoon has all of them visible for transparency. Looks like that one is set at read only. You COULD change the permissions but I don't really reccomend it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
Thanks.

I'm wondering whether this "might" be a bug in terms of how the screen off/screen on governor settings get applied?

A little more experimentation and I found that the kernel settings seem to stay applied until I turn the screen off. When the screen is turned off, the up_threshold goes to 90 and when the screen goes back on it's set to 75.

So, I could certainly see that this might be a read-only value since it seems to be set by the kernel or governor independently of other settings.

Thanks.

Anyone? Help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jamin13:
Try enabling fast charging before connecting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] d0g:
Yes, I always do that, but it still doesn't work. I turn on fast charge, then when I plug it in to car charger, it rapidly toggle charging on/off, ad infinitum...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Out2kill:
Does it behave like that with any other charger it just in your car. Thinking your cat charger might be out-putting a weird voltage/amperage
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
It could be the charger like Out2kill. Do you have crossbreeder installed? What ROM? Is it Touchwiz or AOSP? Need info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] d0g:
It's just the car charger; AC charger works fine.

No, no crossbreeder. Just MOAR (touchwiz).

thanks

for some reason i keep losing data with this kernel and moar. I havent updated since v4.01 but I am using the 5/31 kernel. it's on for a while then all of a sudden it disappears until i reboot. i did the PRL, profile update. still same issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Naddict posted on the MOAR thread to do the hands free reactivation first by dialing ##72786# then when it finishes update profile and then PRL.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Do you have any of those pesky apps like Juice Defender or anything which is killing g your data? Also is it just loosing data or is wifi coming on? Because I really doubt it's the rom or kernel. It has to be a setting or another app which is interfering.

I took ds battery saver off. I cleared data from ktweaker, removed from su and cleared su logs. Rebooted. All is good. I really think something was gunked up in ktweaker. I think I had a bad setting. I don't even want to open the app.

sent from the galaxy via tapping and talking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
Don't be afraid to access the app. I highly doubt Ktweaker had anything to do with your data issues. Battery saving apps have a much greater affect on your data then a kernel tweaker app would so I'm almost certain it was due to DS Battery Saver.

Glad all is well again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
Sooo I opened ktweaker. Restored butterlicious rev 2 settings. Granted su. Instantly 1x instead of 3g. Rebooted. 1x..cleared ktweaker data force stop wiped from su rebooted. 1x... Airplane mode. Back to 3g.... I don't know FAM..:'(

Edit: turned on and off WiFi. 3g too

sent from the galaxy via tapping and talking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
Seems like the issue only comes into affect once you've restored settings. Try manually inputting the values of Butterlicious and observe how your data runs as opposed to without the settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
How would I get those?

sent from the galaxy via tapping and talking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
Open the txt file and match up the values accordingly within the Ktweaker app. Take your time. Don't rush. Doing so will make it more difficult to pinpoint what's causing your data drops. Input just a few values at a time upon each reboot and focus on your data and how it reacts to the minor changes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
Something is weird there. Nobody has had any data issues. Doing it from the file is hard Lol apply the settings take screenshots restore defaults reboot apply settings from screenshots. There is nothing in my settings that would effect data though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
Exactly lol. There shouldn't be so I don't see how restoring your settings will cause data drops. That's just beyond me.. Don't know what else to say.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Unless at some point this he effected a change which he saved and keeps restoring when he applies butterlicious. Maybe he should delete all settings stored in Kt tweaker folder and redownload butterlicious and place a new copy in Kt folder. Then apply it.

MMS

I can't send MMS on either the 5/29 or 6/8 versions of the kernel. I went back to stock CM 10.1 kernel and everything worked fine. Anyone know I fix? I much prefer the long battery life I get with ktoonsez!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] NYCHitman1:
Kernel shouldn't affect MMS. Check your APN settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Additional to what NYChitman said if your sending mms via wifi, mobile data like 3g must be toggled on at the same time for the message to go from phone network to internet etc. I heard 4g on at time doesn't always send mms proper.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
I also could not send or receive mms at first with this kernel, but the stock cm 10.1 kernel works fine. I was able to manually set my apn, but have to turn wifi off to get them to go through. It is a bit of an irritant, but worth it.

If you need the apn settings let me know and i will post them.

Is there a way to leave mobile data (for mms) and wifi on at the same time so I don't have to toggle? It seems like 3g is shut off when I turn wifi on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
You just toggle on mobile data and then wifi. When google services signed in icon should be blue i think. The 3g icon disappears when wifi turns on but like this it keeps some aspect of the mobile network live to send mms via wifi...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
That doesn't do it for me. I can't send/receive mms even when wifi is on but not connected and I am actively using Mobile data. I generally do not turn either off (unless I am sending an mms).

I am on a bit older version (early May) of the kernel and cm 10.1 though. I had not updated in a while since everything, other than the mms issue, works swimmingly. I will update and see if it fixes anything.

Edit: I updated to cm 10.1 RC5 and with the stock kernel had the same issue with mms. Then i installed the latest kernel and no change. It must be an issue with cm or something in my settings. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] NYCHitman1:
Could always just use GoSMS, which can send/receive MMS over WiFi.

Since im on my phone, I cant lookup the website but if you do a search on creating splash screens you can create your own. Its pretty simple to do. That's what I did to get rid of the KT747 screen.

If you want to make your own, go HERE. That thread also has some that are very close to Stock. If you want the Stock one go to THIS thread. Make sure you read the OP's before doing anything ;) .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
Actually it looks like gosms was the problem. The stock messaging app works fine. For some reason gosms with custom apn settings would not work when wifi was on.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
This have me a laugh - one user's "solution" was actually the other user's problem...

But that "solution" wouldn't work for real MMS anyway, because goSMS doesn't fix any MMS problems - it does often manage to step around some MMS problems, because it simulates MMS functionality using its own server... But that's like "fixing" your car by taking the bus instead ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] NYCHitman1:
I never claimed for it to be a fix, but just a temporary workaround. Also, I think everyone knows what GoSMS does as far as MMS goes.

Color Optimization

I am really interested in trying this kernel out for battery and performance gains. However, the first time I flashed it I noticed color tone differences. I went under KTweaker and unchecked the color optimization box. However, the tones appeared the same. I would like some insight so I can try out this awesome kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
If you don't like the richer trinity colors go into Kt tweaker app, go into extras scroll down to Trinity and turn them off. But that's one of the best features whiter whites deeper blues.

Undervolting or under clocking does not equal battery savings. In many cases it can lead to more consumption of battery depending on how you use your phone. Just a *footnote before you begin your adventure.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxyman635:
Please explain, if a core is ran at the same clock speed at a lower voltage, overall power consumption is reduced. Also, a lower clock speed correlates with a lower voltage. (generally)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
So you may think.. That isn't necessarily true.. Please read here. Should show some clarity.

Yeah, I understand that. But, even with the power-saving mode, there are noticeable savings. I see your point, i'm just going to experiment and see what gives me the best results.

I think of it this way. It's like low displacement cars. If you're beating on it, a 1.4 L I4 turbo may not get much better economy than a 3.6 L V6. But in everyday driving, they can get much better economy.

Edit: I flashed it. I got the Trinity Colors turned off and I tried some different setups. Seems to run good. Does anyone have a good setup that is a balance between performance and efficiency? I am looking at like 1.5 gHz. So around the stock clock speed. I just want some insight for the governor schedule options. And also, does fast charging damage the battery cells? I don't understand why this feature wouldn't be supported stock?

It's hard to perfect something which is working great, unless there are new updates which there have not been. The S4 is in the i fancy stages so updates for that are going to be more common and more often as the kernel for that is being developed. I am sure Ktoonsez is on top of all.

You can try lowering your Voltage slightly. I would suggest dropping it 10 at a clip, and then check how it performs. Keep going till you get it where you want it. Middle ground is best. Somewhere that the Device stays cool, yet does not reboot.

Just a note to watch out for:

Anyone on the 26 June kernel, when listening to music on their device, WITH headphones, at least using apollo or play music, have you been experiencing random instances of only receiving single channel audio? Particularly only mono, on the right ear phone? I've been experiencing that on the latest kernel, flashed back to the 8 June kernel, and no issues.

Just an observation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
Believe it or not some have experienced that issue on 6/8 as well.

Yeah I have experienced that on the latest TW kernel but generally it has gone away for me within a few seconds of playing music.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Ah I see, well thanks for the info. Additionally I'm using the aosp kernel with the 8 and 26 June kernels.

Personally I have never had it in the 8 june version, though on the 26th, almost consistent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
Likewise. The only fix I could come across is a cache/dalvik wipe + fix permissions. Bad news is that it's only been reported as a temporary fix so far unfortunately.. It may or may not be consistent for others though. There's no sure way to tell unless they try it themselves and confirm it to us.
