Will the perseus kernel work with android tweaker pro?

The reason I ask is because I need to boost my cell signal strength at school as tmo sux ONLY there in my area.

To the point where I can not make or recieve calls/texts...LAME becaue the school wifi drops every time the the screen locks....

IF no,

can anyone suggest a kernel for the t889 on tmo running completely stock,rooted, 4.1.2 rom version.

TO reiterate i am on jb 4.1.2 stock rom and am rooted.

I want to flash akernal that will let me tweak battery life, and cell signal. I know android pro (app) will give me those controles with the proper kernel.

It seems the franco could do it, but i can't seem to find that it is OK with the STOCK ROM it seems I would have to flash custom rom of some sort even it it is deonized and oxided (LOL on the spell to lazy to look it up atm)

THANK YOU ALL

OMG so sorry! I did not see I posted here already!

So this thread is now unlocked.... I'm hoping this means an imminent 4.3 kernel drop. The Perseus on 4.1 was the bomb and no other kernel could ever compare to the battery and performance I received on this kernel. Stock is good, but sometimes stock keeps my phone from deep sleeping due to Android OS running.

Just reinstalled on odin'd stock ROM - made it faster (max OC) and am again trying -50 UV.

Will this have further development? You apparently ported over a pretty well developed kernel and I have not run into any problems - was just curious.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ashtear:
I personally like the kernel, but this is the first time I see so many exposed variable for me to change on it in SetCPU. Is there anywhere I can read like a guide or something to what all of them do?

I know the more common ones, but even that's less than 10% of them...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndreiLux:
I will update all kernel variants including the one here when there's updates to the main kernel. If you're missing a few point releases which the other variants have then it means that it's not important or not affected by the changes.

I suggest reading the main thread linked in OP for more explanations. If you don't understand some of the configurables then it's advised you don't change them either, as they're already set up in a good fashion.

Help with Perseus kernel settings

I checked the original thread, but it's 100 pages long; It'd take me forever to go through it. I like understanding the settings so I can custom tailor things to my liking; and the variable names themselves aren't very indicative of what they change to someone who hasn't seen them before. But if I can't find a table showing the variables and what they represent, then I hope at least I can get some help with a specific change I'd like to do.

I ask because I am noticing a bit of a pause when it ramps up the processor from idle. I notice it most when I swipe the home screen using ADWLauncher EX. The first swipe sort of chugs a bit, but afterwards it becomes glass smooth, so I figure it's a ramping issue where the kernel's wound down the cores to rest and when I interact with it it's not winding them up again fast enough; probably not stepping up fast enough.

I want to change the settings a bit so that in the initial step it'll wind up over what's necessary, and then wind down to what's needed. It'll improve apparent response time, and with how much this battery lasts, spending a bit more is not an issue to me. Any idea or help on doing this change will be very appreciated.

Thanks for any help, and my apologies if this has been answered before; the forums are a bit hard to navigate sometimes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] farfromovin:
ADWLauncherEX is glass smooth on the stock kernel but not with this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ashtear:
The only launcher I've seen be perfectly smooth is the touchwiz one. Everything else stutters a bit. I'm pretty sure it's because touchwiz is cheating, though, keeping everything in ram or something. And I only notice for an instant in the desktop. Trust me, it's barely noticeable; I'm just anal for these kind of things.

Which would imply the CPU isn't the issue. Memory, or the scheduler? I'm not sure, I'll need to research more. Still, I'd prefer to configure the kernel using it's exposed settings to be more responsive than battery-conscious. But again, that's just me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ashtear:
Another question. The cores consume power individually, right? So is it more efficient, given power consumption per clock speed, to ramp up a core than turn on another one?

I figure I can tweak in order to ramp up a single core fast, and if the load persists, then begin turning on more cores. Does that make any sense?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gaww:
Everything I did not really want to know and was not going to ask - lol - trust thy developer! I do - so I only mess with OC, UV, voltage, and screen off, on call, etc.

With these settings I had mentioned earlier, I am finding a significant improvement in battery life on this kernel. Nice work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ashtear:
Nothing to do with trust. Would I be using the kernel if I didn't? But not everyone uses their phone the same way, or wants the same from it. This is the first kernel I have fallen in love with, if only because of all the exposed controls and how I can fine-tune it's functions to do exactly what I want it to do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nemesis93:
Thank you very much for this informative post!! Looking forward to rooting this weekend and running your kernel :)

I have one question though, for gpu overclock its through an init.d script right? Also what are the clock values that can be set?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndreiLux:
The power efficiency curve breaks even at 600-800MHz for single core scaling so at that point it is more efficient to bring up another core if load stays stable so you can stay in the "valley" of the power curve. Remember that bringing up a core takes 80-150ms depending on load because of the idiotic and archaically inefficient kernel overheads while a frequency switch takes up only about 100µS so we're talking about 3 orders of magnitude difference in latency.

I generally say this to people: leave the settings as they are. You can play with freq_step and slightly raise it for a bit more responsiveness if you want to, but that's about it.

Check the main thread for GPU explanations. Valid values are also listed there if you want to change the frequency steps themselves.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ashtear:
Thanks, AndreiLux. Really appreciate your time and attention. I'll play with the freq_step then. ^_^

Best setting for battery life on kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gaww:
If the above was a question, then I would suggest a number of things like sceen-off profiles including on-call max at 500 (possibly set governor to powersave). I also UV's -50 across the board. i did see some noticeable improvement - even when OC'd to max setting.

I am off the kernel currently, as I could not get S beam to work on XquiziT N2 ROM with it installed, and there seems to be some glitches with audio.

T-Mobile Firmware Update Question

Thank you everyone for making our phones even better,

I have always had a problem after flashing CWM on my Galaxy phones, whenever T-mobile sends me an OTA Update, then I don't know how to install it because it goes to an unknown folder (one time i found it), and if I find the "Update.zip" file and try to flash it with CWM it will tell me that is not possible, even if I turn off the signature verification.

Is there a right way to do this? Since I hate to see my phone asking me for update reboots if I don't install it. (I like to use stock roms, and only flash custome kernels, since most of the times the custom roms come with problems)

Thanks for your help! :victory:

Great kernal, the performance of it alone with the other tweaks in my rom has put me slightly over 15000 on antutu bench which is good and on stock kernal it puts me at 13 to 14 thousand max, however the performances governor put me at only 8000 max, so my first thoughts is the performance governor is only running 2 cores, how I guess that!? well the 8000 score what I would get on my htc one s, and I scored 7636 on my pimped out htc amaze now my assumption is that with a fully working governor at high performance should score at 16000 or better, there is someone on the top of the score boards on antutu with a kernal oc'ed at 2ghz and the score was in the 18's if im not mistaken, in the comment section one 1st place it states bullet kernal, so I Google d it and came up empty handed, I know this style of im guessing this mystery person created their own kernal like I do my roms, I my self held first place in my own phone category on the amaze and the one, some call us winzip devs, I think of it as scavenging, salvaging, compiling, and assembly, never taking any credit for nothing other that what I just stated in those terms and I intend on making my sgn2 the one in first place and for the third time I will put unpublished blank blank blank? Rom, so wonder why I do this? will Im most a watcher and give feedback when necessary and beside Im sure alot of dev will hate the fact that I took bits and pieces from 5 or 6 roms and 7 or 8 mods and compiled the ultimate rom so I keep what I do to me myself and I may suggestion and comments here and there, since I am a nobody. anyway if I knew how to build a kernal I would, maybe look into learning a lil something I always wanted to be a dev but I took a differ exhausting career path, but the best I can do now help out with some info about this kernal since is the best available so I'd like to see it continue to be the best in my opinion. The sgn2 is fast but I want to see it fly, as with all the devices ive ever owned, Thanx for the great kernal, Assembly is nothing without good parts, hope I provide some detailed info that helps...

I now see a rom on here from cmenard that includes the "bullet kernel" so I assume its his?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33895776
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mizanari_Kae:
Yep, just now came back to post that I finally seen the bullet kernal in a rom I see I was beaten to the punch, beside that I also forgot to mention in my first post that the gpu overclocking dosent seem to be working. Was still getting a max 58 fps on the graphics compare to my htc one s I was getting 76 fps.... this problem is in both kernal versions that also goes for the problem with performance governor...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndreiLux:
The performance governor having less than Pegasusq means the device is getting hot and hitting thermal throttling and that's why you have roughly half the score as it underclocks to 800MHz until it cools down again. Put it in the freezer and run it again and you will get higher scores.

What GPU benchmark are you talking about? It sounds more like the Note is hitting VSync limit (58fps) and your HTC is stupid and ignores VSync. The only benchmark that purposely circumvents Vsync is GLBenchmark offscreen tests and there is no scenario in which it gets only 58fps without it. Consider the resolution difference too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mizanari_Kae:
Well I willz say this I don't run my phone hot or until it get warm, I have done tests at different times Using Antutu.... and I just downloaded the app youve mentioned to run a test on stock kernal to do another light comparison and I note seeing the 58 fps oncreen one of the test and 67 off the results, im just simply glancing over, and by the way my past htc phones used to hit the same 58 to 61 fps until ived gotten a better kernal, im not a expert or anything but I do think its funny that I see the same numbers even when I use a different apps, but any that was the stock kernal, I will be switching back to yours, by th why? do you think my phone is hot right now? not trying to be funny seriously what is too hot to thermald? Everytime I used the performance gov at what I think is normal temperature I get that 8000 score

---------- Post added at 05:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 AM ----------

And lofl here comes another test with your lastest kernal version, the only thing I done on this phone in the past few hours is what I have just mentioned in my previous post my phone is not hot or warm to the hand and I do not have to big stupid case on it to where I cant feel heat, ON performance governor I gotten a score slighty over 9000 thousand a new world record but it should be near double that,...... second I used your glbench and guess what the same results buddy 58 fps onscreen and 69 off... are you testing this? so glbench and antutu bench says the same thing, so we cant blame antutu for not testing the graphics correctly, so seriously pal I think you should look at your work again with all do respect to you and your hard work, because in the end I can't do what you do, and I appreciate you devs, however as I mentioned in my very first post I hardly say anything, and when I do its something good, something isnt right I dont know what it is, you are the man and im nobody, what I do know is antutu and glbench throwing back the same numbers and my phone is not hot, im running a stock rom like always lightly modified with your kernal

I say f@$ k benchmarks they are bull$hi# the kernel is awsome great performance and battery life thats all I need. Keep doing what your doing op u have many supporters out here. The phone isnt laggy battery lasts 2 days I can play any game out there with zero lag thats what matters to me. Did I mention in underclocked to 1300 and uv 50mv on each step very stable and solid kernel. Benchmarks are not friendly with all processors. I bet compani3s pay or even make these test to work better with their product to make them seem more superior.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndreiLux:
You either have power savings mode turned on or there is something else wrong in your side settings wise. The kernel is fine. Also the benchmarks you did were perfectly normal, and you're just pulling those One S scores out of your ass:

http://www.glbenchmark.com/compare....ified_only=1&D1=Samsung GT-N7100&D2=HTC One S

I cannot make the phone break the VSync barrier, I already explained this.

I would ask if you stopped posting as you're babbling about non-existent issues and reading your writing style makes my eyes hurt.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mizanari_Kae:
OK folks issues is resolved, I been pondering long and hard why so finally I just said screw it and flashed over my current ROM with another of the same not only becuase i want to know why but also because i seen something worth the flash over. And i made sure i didnt wipe the data purposely since buddy think it was something I toyed with to screw with the performance, no one could put their finger on it precisely, however you were right it something in the rom which I still have no idea what because i did reinstall all my mods and apps and settings are still intact, so I sorry if anyone thinks I was try being a jackass, I wasn't its just that none of it made any sense... the stock kernel worked fine but when I switch over things wasn't looking right until flashed over with cmenard's new ROM with the tethering completely unlocked like what we are accustomed to and it works great, btw didn't pull those numbers out my anus about my HTC one s, I was getting excellent scores on antutu bench as I said before, I don't have the one s anymore to do anymore benching... I wanted more power like always so I gotten rid of it for this note 2... So if anyone else has any issues try a different ROM....
