Awesomeness!!! Running this along with clean 2.0 and no issues so far. I left the settings as is. I want to try them before I change anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Cool and cool!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
My honest opinion is that no OC is even required on this phone lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Then why post in my thread and ask me to Git hub the source?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
For some reason I cannot connect to my TV via mhl. I switched to lean kernel for a bit and was able to mirror out with that one. Can anyone else test this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
Two reasons:

1) GitHub is the standard for source code, that's what it really should be on.

2) Undervolt

Sorry my posts have apparently been offensive to you lately. I will stay out of your threads from now on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Haro912:
Yes I will test 2.1 lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdog94:
will this kernel work with other stock roms like beans?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
GitHub is not a standard. The standard is to release the source publicly and that is what I did.

Thats like saying Facebook is the standard in social networking. Its not, its just a prefernece.

Yes, some of your posts have been offensive and inflamatory and I am sure you can recall what one I am refering to.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Ok, I might do it this weekend just to see if the device will go that far.

As long as its base don VRAGL1 then it should. It may alter settings in the ram disk and if non Samsung Ani's are being used it will alter that too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Clienterror:
Great kernel man! Flahed this over Synergy r50 at I can already tell I'm getting better battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Cool, I am pretty sure the undervolting has helped. Its not a huge undervolt but a notable one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
CM, AOKP, and the AOSP use it, so I would consider it standard. Not here to argue that.

That was a joke. Sorry you didn't get it. Several people did get it though if I was interpreting the handful of thanks button presses it had correctly.

I will carry on. Good luck with the development.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jdella681:
So ideally which governor is an optimal balance for battery and performance? I'm currently using powersave with 192-1512.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I prefer On Demand. I always have which is why I did not try to integrate any other governors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bnmohler:
i am with scott on this one. I use ondemand as well. Back in my Xperia x10 days i used smoothassv2 or something like that. it is not present in this kernel as he has said he did not add anything else besides cpu clock options, voltage, gpu. Different hardware reacts to these governors very differently sometimes as i had done some looking into of schedulers back in the day with bfq, cfq, etc and it really came down to running each and taking notes as some had better results than I.

your powersave option, if i understand how it works, will do its best to restrict the cpu from throttling up, this can save battery in theory but maybe not when used with the combo of your apps and rom.

there is no magic one size fits all and by testing each you could give the OP some great feedback on what is working well and what has suffered stability issues.

to understand some of these options here are some links but keep in mind this only gives a base to work with.. your millage will very.

Thats a lot of good info!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LeonKnight12:
Hey scott, i have noticed different between stock kernel and clean kernel. Battery is better! I been testing battery with wifi on. I have setcpu to 1350. Not interested overclocking device, nottihing are faster. I went to see to see how long my device battery stay at 100% before it drops.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
You lowered to 1.35GHZ?

Yes, battery should have a slight improvment over stock even if running at same speeds. I wonder how long you can go period.

Yesterdasy, before I had to start test flashing some new mods for my ROM, I was at 36hrs and 50% battery left! I was happy with that :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jdella681:
Ya yesterday I tried it on 192-1512 using power save. I should've done a screenshot so I got some comparisons. Currently using 486-1512 with on demand and it seems that the battery is better. Definitely doing a screenshot prior to charging tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
I used to underclock a little on my Fascinate and get some pretty decent battery life compared to others. I would assume the same would work on the S3 too ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jdella681:
That's insane! I get nowhere near that! U using WiFi or 4g/3g? I haven't had those numbers since my work phone droid RAZR maxx lol..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Oh yeah, no doubt.

Im just the opposite of most... I want all the speed I can get at the sacrifice of battery if need be.

Related to the imei seems synergy has a zip to flash in recovery that creates another imei zip backup if lose your imei.

Probably a good idea for any one running a custom kernel

I tried flashing on beans and it doesn't boot. His is the correct base but probably has the something in the ROM that's way over my head that keeps it from booting. Kernel looks good though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] g-funkster:
I flashed on Beans R1, no problems, a few minutes ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asenduk:
I like!!!

Is it stable??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Seems to be. But no real gains at that speed. About the same as 1.89 TBH. I need to do more testing...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
Same. Tried flashing with Bean 9 and the boot animation just continues. The phone boots but the animation wont go away. I can hear the jingle for new e-mail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] indyssee:
R1 didn't have a kernel packaged with it. He started using imoseyon's. Flashed CleanKernel and it won't get past boot animation. Get back into CWM and flash imo's and it boots right up. Not sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
I couldn't get back into CWM. Now using ODIN to go back to stock :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] indyssee:
You should just be able to pull the battery and then boot into recovery by holding home + volume up + power and release power once you see the galaxy s3. I had to do it a couple of times bc I tried flashing it in both cwm and twrp.

Scott, this isn't a complaint or anything, just wanted to give a FYI that it doesn't work on beans (at least it didn't for me).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Ok
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
Didn't work on Beans 9 for me either. I odin'd back to stock and now running CleanROM 2.0 and CleanKERNEL 1.0

No complaints so far :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
There you go!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jason salus:
Hummm??

Well not sure whats going on here so far but im running CleanROM 2.0 and CleanKERNEL 1.0 and so far its running great!! The thing im wondering about is im not getting very good bench marks on quadrant standard. The scores dont very much when i turn up the speed. Im running setcpu 3.0.7 to control it. Is this normal? I cant even hit 5000 at 1.89 and that seems odd to me. Again im not having any other issues with this set up in fact i think things run great but i do like to speed things up for bragging rights LOL. Let me know what you think. I am running with an unlocked boot loader.

Thanks for all your hard work!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
That is strange. I did a stock speed test and scored 5024. Then overclocked to 1.9ghz and it went up to 5876. Playing Sonic Episode 1 has lag on stock speeds but is playable when overclocked.

Using CleanROM 2.0 and CleanKERNEL 1.0. Overclocking with SetCPU. Did you change the profile to Performance?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] g-funkster:
Just got 5095, CleanKERNEL 1.0 stock, no SetCPU. Edit: Beans R1 Rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Seems a bit low BUT everyone's set up is going to be different which, in the op, I said dont expect to get these scores. But that does seem low.

One thing I tried to do to level the playing field when I took the benchmarks was take them on a fresh install with no apps installed and all "auto" everything turned off. If your device is loaded up with apps, that alone will bring you down. Also, make sure you are not connected to a PC when you are benchmarking. That seems to lower the results as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
so i downloaded this kernel and using it with a stock ROM. im using setcpu, and set up some profiles, most are below the stock settings, but i feel like its losing battery fast, even with 4g off. it went down about 6% in an hour when i had it on for less then 5 minutes. any advice on what settings to use in setcpu, in case i want to improve battery life? i'm not really an expert, so dont want to risk experimenting too much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Dont set up any profiles or any of that. Just run it the way I have it out of the box.

Just dial in your max speed.

As far as testing it after an hour thats not a lot of conclusive testing either.

But I would encourage you to just leave it as it is and only modify the high end. Maybe even drop the low end down to 192MHZ.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
Charge the phone to 100%, boot into CWM recovery and Wipe Battery. This should help. In SetCPU move max to 1890mhz and min to 384mhz. use the On Demand setting.

I'm getting incredible battery.

Also how are you turning 4G on/off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aznguyen316:
is it a bad idea to leave it on 4G 24/7? I don't ever connect to my Wifi anymore since 4G is just as fast for me... plus my android isn't playing nicely with my Airport Extreme. This question is in terms of battery.. thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
I set mine to 1674/192 and its down 8% over 5hrs 45min with average use. Thought I would share if anyone else wants to try these settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daddyscooltv:
What is everyone running there brightness at to get this long battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
Depends where you are. In the house its down all the way for me. Only if I'm outside or driving will I need to turn it up.

Also I noticed 192mhz was just too slow of a minimum speed, if you can tolerate it then it will help battery a little bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Auto Brightness on. I enabled it to test for screen flicker didn't see any so left it on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
ok im trying these changes now.

also the way i found to switch 4g is using the phone info app

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/07/10/how-to-turn-off-4g-on-verizons-galaxy-s3/

EDIT: and one other thing. so in setcpu, ive set it to 1809 max, 192 min...but from the setcpu widget it shows still 1512/384, which is what it also shows at the top when i open setcpu..whys that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daddyscooltv:
Ok that would explain a lot then I have mine set at max... to me the screen is just way to dark in auto.. I will try auto again and see if I can get use to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
If that doesn't work for you xbiker321 has a good suggestion couple posts up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daddyscooltv:
Yes.. I just put it back on the charger and will try that when it charges... thanks for everyones suggestions...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
Another app that helps is Lux Auto Brightness. once activated it will change the brightness based on the light in the area. if you are somewhere bright, the brightness goes up to make it easier to see, and if your in the dark it dims as well. i used to keep my phone always to max brightness too (since i also felt auto was always too dim), but ive been liking lux
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daddyscooltv:
I may try that app out.. Are you using the free ver or the paid ver...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
When I am home I am on WiFi. Anywhere else, which is not anyplace other than work, I am on 4G.

How long does your battery last now and how long do you want it to last?

Not fast enough for me :p

Auto

At 192MHZ what negative tangible affects can you report?

I havent seen any lag or otherwise.

MAX?!?!? I cant even look at my screen on max, lol But yeah, max brightness will eat a lot more battery than any CPU will, lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
The widget is strange, I'd not even bother with it. Set in the speeds you like and leave it. I just tried out the widget and gave me false readings as well.

Thanks for the 4G off technique, I just applied it to my phone. I only use 4G maybe once a week when I go into Wichita.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yep, I agree about the widget. Same thing with SystemTuner Pro.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
The lag isn't unbearable.. but to me it is slightly noticeable the difference between 192mhz and 384mhz. Since my governor is set On Demand I notice it when the phone is at a standstill and I try opening a txt, or dialer. That initial jump from 192mhz to 1890mhz creates a slight lag that 384mhz to 1890mhz doesn't. Just a personal preference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Makes sense!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Scott, what settings are you personally using on your kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
192 / 1.89, everything else at default.

May switch it up to 384 / 1.89 to see if I can see any potential differences.

I use auto brightness, 4G when not at home (approx 9 hours a day), Default CleanROM install with SP1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Thank you kind sir. I'm gonna give your settings a shot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
I'm sure I am just missing something stupid here but I can't get anything but the stock CPU speeds to appear in SutCPU. I'm on 2.0 Rom with SP1. I flashed clean kernel 2 times now. I checked the md5. Still no matter what I do, I have no options over 1512mhz. What am I missing? I know something changed when I flashed it because my Antutu benchmarks dropped a few hundred points. Any ideas what happened?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Post the kernel version in about settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
Go to Settings - About device - tell us what build number and kernel it says.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
I'm guessing that is the max. Doesn't that put allot of stress on the device, kind of like running your car engine at full RPM all the time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Or its like Manufactures not putting the hardware to full use.

If you look in the code for this kernel, they have variations of a 1.2GHZ and a 1.5GHZ max (*in the same code which is kinda funny because its the same chip).

The manufactures are throttling it back. I ran it all out at 2.1GHZ and had no issues.

In the long run... in about 10 years, you will prolly loose about 2 or 4 days of usable life of the device :crying:

And no, its not like running your car all out. That is completely mechanical with moving parts. Moving parts wear out the more you use them. A Microprocessor has no moving parts to wear out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Also, one variable to mitigate possible stress on the device is the fact that I undervolted the cpu.

Even at 1.89GHZ I have less voltage going into the Chip than the MFG had at 1.5GHZ.

So you may actually increase the life of the CPU using this kernel ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Thanks for the information. I may crank it up some then and see how it does performance and battery wise. I have always been leary about going to high but sounds like 1.89 is not an issue.

Good point on my comparison of the red lined engine compared to the processor.

Keep up the good work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
And remember, each chip is different. Because my chip or "his" chip can hit 1.89 stable doesn't mean everyone's will. That is why the manufactures scale back. They were prolly trying to hit 2GHZ and couldn't do it reliably so they throttled it at 1.5GHZ.

Kinda, like AMD does with the "hidden" cores... They chips come off the line with 4 or 6 cores but the cores are not reliable so they shut some off and call it a cheaper version. Then motherboards and craft people can unlock the chips.

Take all my statements with a grain of salt. I am not an electrical engineer but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn express last night!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brenardo:
Somebody plz put up a mirror
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Bumped it up to your settings, no smoke yet and can see quite of bit of difference from the 1.67 I had running!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
No mirrors of my work are allowed at any time for any reason unless I post them.

If you want to mirror the source code feel free to do so!

Yeah, its a decent jump.

I went to 2.1 and saw no appreciable gains over 1.89. So I think this device, at least mine, tops out at 1.89.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
Here you go. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
What version of SetCPU? And have you tried SystemTuner? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw&hl=en

And did you install any tweaks or mods outside of what comes with CleanROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
Downloaded the latest SetCPU today (3.0.7). Also tried Antutu cpu control. No other mods that I can think of. I did just flash dirtytweaks a couple minutes ago but that is unrelated. If Systemtuner is free I'll give it a try but both SetCpu and Antutu gave the same choices. I'm stumped.

I just tried System Tuner, Same problem. 384 to 1.5 max is all that is listed. I'm going to flash it one more time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
The kernel is there. No need to flash it again.

Wipe Cache and Dalivk Cache.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
I did that the first time I flashed it. I didn't the second or third. I'll try wiping it again.

Tried wiping each several times. No help. The only other zip file I have flashed on the phone is the new Wallet. I'm not sure what is stopping the kernel settings from sticking. I'm going to try a battery pull.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
If that doesn't work try redownloading the kernel from here to your phone.. wipe cache's and try flashing again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aznguyen316:
Just installed the kernel and will be testing it throughout the workday in terms of battery. Thanks!

192min//1350max
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
Well, I tried flashing back to the stock kernel. I ran it for a bit then flashe Cleankernel again. The kernel flashes fine but I still have hothing but the factory cpu settings available. I give up for tonight. I don't know what's going on with this phone. At least everything works fine but it is frustrating not knowing why the speed settings aren't available.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
so not that its enough to really judge yet, but after following these directions, after almost 4 hours of light usage (ive been actively using it for maybe 15-20 minutes, im at 85%. it might not be the best, but it is definitely an improvement i think. ill have a better idea how it performs this week while under my daily schedule. if i can get like 15 hours on a full charge in a typical day, id consider that good.

i use the free version...i see that paid version lets you do alot more and has special mode (like stargazer), but they didn't seem important to me.

and to give an example on its effectiveness, under typical indoor lighting, lux sets the brightness to just 64%, and i can barely notice the difference from 100%.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
Try redownloading the Kernel. I've had issues with old phones like this (Rom and Kernel related) just deleted the file, downloaded a fresh new copy, and it worked.

Well play with it for a couple days. If you still have questions, charge it up and use it till it's almost dead, then take a screenshot of the battery stats.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
I just tried re-downloading it and wiped cache/dalvic and flashed again. The kernel is there but the custom cpu speeds are not. Maybe the next cleankernel will work. I'll run this one for a while anyways to try it out. The over/under clocking is fun to play with but I usually end up back at stock speeds eventually. Thanks for all the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
This version works. Its whats going on with your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ciscossj2:
Im having the same exact issue, my i am running CleanROM 2.0 with the cleanKERNEL 1.0, i can set the frequency as low as 192Mhz and as high as 1890Mhz, but the actual frequencies only move up to 1350Mhz, i have reinstalled the entire ROM, with stock kernel, no addons, flashed kernel, still same issues, i even found a similar kernel from another website called b00sted and same results. Absolutely everything else works perfectly but this, i dont understand it. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Could the problems these guys are having be related to SetCpu being corrupt ? Just thinking out loud a little.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
No he is saying he cant even set the speeds.

Do this.. Run set cpu to the frequencies you want then just surf the web or do something constantly for a couple minutes then go to back to set CPU and check the time in state.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
so some more day 1 comments:

i had it on wifi and screen off while i was watching tv...over 3 hrs it went down maybe 3%. but once i turned the screen on, on wifi and off, using apps or just staying on the home screens, i was losing 1% in about 5 minutes. so kernel is working great when phone is not in use, my drainage was definitely higher before. but while in use it seems to be ok. probably it would be better if i set the max lower (1890 at the moment) ill experiment some more over the week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Austin808:
Turn off Power Saving in Settings. That will force the max clock to 1350 on this kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
I tried removing SetCpu and reinstalling it last night. Still can't see anything above 1512. Antutu app has same problem so I don't think it is related to the app.

I've checked "time in state" and nothing above 1512 appears and nothing below 382 appears even after running a benchmark. At this point I am just hoping the problem goes away with the next ROM/kernel.

Anyone experience random android os hogging up battery life? Its happened to me a few times it takes about 60% also had the yahoo mail app get hung up a few times i think a reboot fixes the android os bug but if i dont catch it and put my phone down for a while it will burn through the battery quickly i used the better battery stats app and it says gsiff_daemon taking up the battery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
My wife's S3 would randomly burn through the battery in a few hours and I found that the system and "gallery" were each eating about 1/2 the battery. In the sync settings I noticed that picasa sync was stuck syncing. I disabled the picasa automatic sync (it is on by default) a couple days ago. We have to wait and see if it happens again. It only happened once every few days.

Mine has never done this but I have also had picasa sync disabled for a long time.
