Hi all,

I use a droidvpn on my note....

Is there any app which can tether the vpn connection over wifi, as i can do over usb with 'easy tether' app.

[General Questions and Answers] patmast3r:
Hi

Yesterday i wanted to check out a new Rom. So i did a Backup in cwm 5. I flashed the new Rom, After wipeing and factory Reset. Off course i did not touch fat32.

When i restored my backup it looked like a complete fresh install.

Can anyone explain what happened???
[General Questions and Answers] patmast3r:
Really...no ideas at all?
[General Questions and Answers] bobix86:
Could you explain fresh install? I mean fresh install of your old rom or the new one.

I'm really still new to flashing but i think if you do a nand backup you backup your entire old rom.

Still one tested advice, next time backup your apps with titanium backup,copy backup on pc, wipe all, install rom, format sd card,after that restore apps using titanium backup, i think thats as clean and tidy as it gets.You don't need to format sd card but its cleaner that way.

Hope it helped. :)

P.S: Some roms (especially ICS and JB) need the partition to be formatted as ext (extended) partition still idk if a rom will automatically format the partition, my bro nedded to manually reformat using cwm, i didn't really follow the process when i was adding my ics rom but i didn't need to repartition, at least not manually.
[General Questions and Answers] patmast3r:
By fresh install i mean like if you just flashed a rom without doing any configuration or installing anything.
[General Questions and Answers] bobix86:
Well it is a new rom, what you backed up as far as i understand is your old rom with settings, so it's just normall for the new rom to be fresh installed.

Or buy yourself a router for your room, plug it into your ethernet so it's somewhat fast, and name it something like "hp_setup" so it looks like a wireless printer. That's what I did, and it's a lot easier/more reliable than using your phone everytime you're in your room.

The results [/IMG]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Great post and discussion freecharlesmanson. I'm using your specs above and FREQ_STEP="5" I changed to 1, so it would be more like Lazy governor and save me extra power at the cost of a little lag since it must go through the full frequency scale instead of jumping to target frequency in a step or two. Watching cpu frequency in a graph shows this governor and your tweaks do great at being conservative but with power ready to be tapped. For frequency step at 1 im seeing stuff that ramped up in no time takes a half a sec more due to the frequency ladder it must climb... but I'm hoping it will mean it only uses high frequencies when its been under load for quite some time and not just from a basic background task I may care little about the speed in which its completed. Battery life is through the roof with this governor and Ktoonsez Kernel.

edit: if i set down threshold to 60 does it save more power without a lot of complications or does it cause large hiccups or uneeded frequency changing? would it be better to be near 50, stay at 45 or drop down under to 40-35? i was using your settings in other kernel thread but now using yours here and the rest as mentioned.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Yep if you can deal with the lag it will do the trick . You could try to slightly raise that number and just raise the up threshold and hot plug threshold allot like 85 up and 80 hotplug. Then raise the freq step to 2 or three maybe it might give a similar result by discouraging up scaling thru the demand end but would allow quicker scaling ever so slightly with less likelihood of jumping steps. By my math each freq step represents 4.3% total available scaling

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] A_Flying_Fox:
Lol if you're lagging using conservative with your shiny S4, you're doing it wrong.

I've used conservative exclusively over ondemand ever since root was achieved with my Epic4g which uses the 1ghz hummingbird processor and there's no lag...

I now use smartassv2...seems to give even faster performance and shuts things down quicker than conservative!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Smart ass is based on interactive my issue still falls with load regulation. Most of that it seems like it would race thru frequency more. Which may deliver good performance but if at all it would deliver the same but worse battery

This is how well it works for idle regulation and I should point out smart ass doesn't hotplug so in turn because it cannot regulate the second core most likely results in less efficient scaling and if the second core preempted scaling it offers more performance than scaling right off ,those screens are of it being used alittle before bed then alittle more after I woke up

So my issue atm is with ES explorer scrolling. It's super choppy.... I'm exploring more values in hopes of finding a sweet spot. I can confirm that the choppiness doesn't exist on ICS but does on asop ROMs. So I'm trying to see what's up now.

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Well I'll explain it this way despite the freq step being low the issue is it will aim to unload the first CPU at 49% which won't take much after that while it will rest eventually because it is still so low on hotplug the second core will be constantly on. The second core offers more performance but much much more battery then slightly increases clock rate the issue is balancing that because so often you either end up with the clock rate racing up wards or the core staying on. . Personally don't take a shot in the dark. Take settings you know work and work towards your idea incrementally recording the changes the CPU time states record I think though not allowing the CPU to shift a full state up will be to major detriment to performance. Per CPU freq state is 4.3% I have found over 80% on available cores causes stuttering . I gave the settings a spin looks like the second core is on a bit much so you'd want to balance that out. But test test test test and let me know
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Running es right now no issues . Sense it exist only on aosp I'm gonna guess it wasn't governor related? Can you confirm the same results running a different governor?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Yeah phones don't benefit from swappiness but I'd leave a slight amount just in case you ever approach oom if you have it turned off and you ever hit oom it will kill random possibly important apps or just plain lockup

Unless you go oom though it makes no difference

Swappiness is set to 15% on my desktop and its only using 200kb arbitrarily I might add
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
okay great explanation. It was a good read :) I'll go back to drawing board test test test and post back with more theory and results when i've come up with something that is working good for me. I'll keep in mind I need Hotplug to not kick in as often nor have cpu frequency shoot up to max so its a balancing act. I appreciate your info thank you. I'm reading as much as i can find on more governors and their adjustments to get ideas from them too like you said to base off an existing one and modify from there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
What you are shooting for is the opposite end of the stick so. Getting the same results off a diametrically opposed idea is awesome keep it up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
I looked into with ktoonsez and it's

A tally of the cores so it does look at the second core when it is active
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I'm sure your response makes a lot of sense. But I am having trouble understanding which part you are referring to. Which part is a tally of the cores and looks at second core when active. Are you referring to the hotplug value or how the percent cpu usage is derived?

I posted a question to Ktoonsez in the kernels thread. I was asking about adding temp reading and a temp based profile plus if we can add a down threshold for hotplug to Ktoonservative. I asked how it works as is too since I'm not sure I can see what's happening fast enough. When does hotplug turn core 2 back off?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Its a tally of usage %

I tested a basic hot plug down for him, the results are questionable. Mainly the down part needs to work slower then the sampling rate so it would be pretty complicated for him to alter it.

Currently at the second frequency from the lowest it is set to turn off, but it looks like the CPU drivers might be kicking it out at idle to if you watch when the second core goes idle it shuts down

Pretty sure I covered that in the op though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I had trouble understanding that before or seeing it. Thank you I think I understand now. Based on percent cpu time used is all the governor values. The hotplug turns cpu core 2 on once cpu busy time reaches this percent no matter if at minimum or max cpu speed this kicks core 2 on. From then on regardless of up and down threshold of cpu speed core 2 is active until governor has once again returned cpu all the way down to one cpu bin above minimum used speed. Thank you very much for taking the several posts to help me understand. Now i can go back and play with hotplug up threshold and set it accordingly. I see how it works so its okay down threshold hotplug is designed for one bin above minimum speed. I can work based off that no problem and no need for a need tuneable. Thats cool you worked with Ktoonsez on this. I appreciate both of you entertaining my idea.

Edit: my misunderstanding was pushing me towards a differed setup but now i see that i wont have cpu core one pegged at 100% usage if all is set right.

So tuned this should do better than PegasusQ governor.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
It already does far better for me

I experience no lag from the CPU at all

As you can see it does a terrific job. This is under completely normal use. Music, browsing, multimedia such as pictures and video playback, very few phone calls ,lots of texting and GPS to
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
There you have it that's awesome. Now that's some nice idle time. Looking good there. This governor is awesome.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
I'm still monkeying around though. While it doesn't look like there is a connection between the stuttering I see and the governor I want to be certain. I believe its caused by my cache settings which I have greatly improved but, under just the right circumstances still am seeing. Now I know for a fact its not the governor but until I get that 100% it will be hard to tune it below the settings I'm running now with out getting this cleared up. Ironically I think the increased performance actually exacerbates the issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
I don't quite understand why anyone would want to use a governor/kernel written by someone who doesn't even have the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
thats not true to my knowledge... this Kernel and Governor was written by Ktoonsez and is top notch. Ktoonsez has the Samsung Galaxy S3 for AT&T and writes a kernel for all the carriers just about. He knows what he is doing, his kernel is highly successful and we like to use his governor because it is good. Freecharlesmanson isn't the governor writer or Kernel... he contributed knowledge to the governor project Ktoonsez and freechalesmanson had.

I don't quite understand how someone who doesn't know about the AUTHOR of a Kernel would want to comment that they don't even have the phone the Kernel is for and therefore why would one want to put themselves out there like they knew what they were taking about? Pretty insulting to just go about saying stuff like that. Go ahead and say that right to Ktoonsez if you can say it behind his back ( well a thread he doesnt frequent) . I have respect for everyone out there but I don't respect what you wrote. I don't have to and you don't have to care what I think.

Honestly I think you can be nicer than that in this forum. Please treat people with the same respect you would like in return.

I apologize for calling you out and hope you can be a little more positive. The governor is good and takes a lot of its function from already good existing governors.

I think it is a necessity you understand how it works unlike many who propegate scripts or settings I think they are in the users hands and maybe some one will come up to with a more effective way to tune this governor or maybe even another governor altogether from messing with things rather then take my word for it

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Yes actually, me and mw86 tested the new down hotplug feature
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Soooo mpdecision already "hotplugs" but this governor gives you more control over hotplugging and disables mpdecision?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
I think that's a spilt to my understanding aosp doesn't use it the same way although on the technicals I'd contact ktoonsezn. But yes exactly more control really. I first brought it up with ktoonsez when he out conservative gov in his kernel in a test build it failed to shut off the core ever it just stayed on. My galaxy s2 it worked terrific with the second core. But that isn't the case on the S3 and so far it does a more appropriate job of managing it. Also it guarantees that unlike mpdecision absolutely no crashing which I had issues with when I first got this phone setcpu crashed it every time it set the governor
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Ah, I figured as much. I'm using scripting to change governors based on battery life swapping between OnDemand,Intellidemand, and msm-dcvs and so far i haven't had any problems with mpdecision crashing. I even start and stop it with my script based on battery life as well :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Never have seen scripting crash it, you should give it a shot though. You could just change the tunables different battery levels and get very different behavior

As you can see this gets you in the low range amazing and to deep sleep but In test shows within 3% of performance gov performance

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RedJack117:
. Great work man
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Just remember most benchmarks lock your clockrate to Max I've had no luck using the lock frequencies feature in ktweaker to prevent it so far just geekbench doesn't
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Absolutely correct in my observations too. It seems to lock the frequencies from other apps like set cpu and system tuner but most benchmarks even ones i thought didn't are forcing max frequency constantly like you said. I find other than apps like Android Linpack etc that measure performance by a number based on time to calculate a workload most apps like Antutu and more lock to max and as mentioned Ktweaker can't override them.

Not bad settings above if your looking to improve those tuneables more you can try using a slightly higher frequency step causing cpu to jump higher faster when needed but likely even better performance boost is using a higher minimum frequency.

Guys just remember to configure Ktoonservative you must use something like cpu spy to determine if your frequency step allows the cpu to hit all the target frequencies.

-open cpu spy

-set a frequency step to test

-frequency step is defined as the amount of frequency increase or decrease used when the governor reaches a up or down threshold. A higher step may skip from 384mhz to 1000mhz (3-4mhz bins up) and a low step may go from 384mhz to 486mhz (only one step higher). Remember frequency step controls up and down so when its time to drop mhz again it will only be allowed to move by the set frequency step. Too high and youll jump from min right to max and max right to min, too low and the cpu speed wont go up or down.

I hope that helps define frequency step better and portray how utterly important it is to be sure it set right.

You minimum and max mhz determines what it will need to be.

Example to only move one bin up or down for 384-1500mhz i and freecharlesmanson found 5% accomplishes that. But where that works for those mhz it won't be the same on 96-2106mhz and as a result to successfully only move one bin up or down at a time I need it set to 2%. 3 was just ebough but on its trip down it wouldn't hit 540mhz so using 2% for those mhz ranges allowed it to hit every frequency on trip up and down. Again use a app that has a function like cpu spy to determine what frequency it is able to hit on the selected frequency step.

This was on Tapatalk email and stuff for two hours as you can see it hits max and min mhz. Screen was on the whole time hence the low deep sleep.
