+1 Andi, beta7 is perfect :) I'm using almost the same settings as your power extreme profile but I have the gpu set to max 600mhz with an OV of +25 not +50 but I'm getting ~18/19 hours battery and it's smoother than silk :)

(My partner likes it too although she doesn't know she's got it lol she's stopped complaining of lags and apps crashing - blind test is always the best, right? :D)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Blind tests are the best tests for sure :)

If a blind test show this result, it is indeed solid.

And then once you have figured it out, uninstall BBS because it can drain battery on its own
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pistoke:
Try Better Battery Stats to find out what eats your battery. Even on 3g 3h screen on is quite a short time, I think.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
There are several ways to save some energy and increase your battery life:

- use moderate brightness setting of your display ( eg. at least automatic )

- use a dark wallpaper ( eg. a simple black screen; each black pixel is a result of shut off LEDs )

- disable apps which like to keep your phone awake ( track them down with tools like eg. BBS )

- while sleeping you may consider to disable Wifi, 3G. Blutooth etc.

You can reach a screen on time of 4-5h or more without any problems if you follow these rules ( with the standard battery ); your battery time may also depend on the way you use your phone ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PearLRoX:
Same use/settings and problem :)

If i look to bbs its because the 'gtalk_async and the l2_hsic' wakelock

I dont have or use gtalk and the other wakelock.. Nobody nows the answer for it. The draining is very high on data use :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
The l2_hsic wakelock indicates you have an issue with your mobile data connection, especially fast dormancy. Maybe you should consider to switch that off, I am not an expert in this area, but there are many threads on that.

Or you should try a different baseband/modem etc.

gtalk, I think is not only used by Google talk but by more Google apps like playstore etc. Also not 100% sure.

But both issues are not kernel related, that is something I can confirm.

Also where you live can be a big factor for battery. how far away you are from cell towers. Bit that's not really controllable... Can't just buy a new house because I holy got half a bar of signal ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PearLRoX:
Yeah its not from kernel ;)

If i'm on stock or other kernel i got the same problem..

Fast Dormancy is already disabled because my operator do not support it.. (says google)

I'm on EMC2 (rom and modem) just like a stock s3 in Belgium but i will try to test a other modem to see if this helps.

I started to life with it :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ljhsquall:
I figure it out. Seems like its only for I9300, mine is I9305. Found another thread that supports it. Thanks anyway!

Giving up is not an option. XXDLIB modem is suspected one of the best modems ever. You could give that a try.

habylab, which one exactly? XXLH1, BVLH1, CELH1, DDLH1, DXLH1, NELH1?

There are so many flavours of it... I think I tested XXLH1 as well once, but replaced it with a new version soon. Not because it was bad, just because it was old...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] PearLRoX:
That's true! But i'm searching so long for this solution.

Oh, ok i wil try that one! Thanks :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
The thing with modems is, it depends on where you live (your network) and what RIL your ROM has (or you update the RIL as well, which some ROM don't like) etc.

I don't think there is one universal that is best everywhere.

I for where I live found DLIB to be giving me the best results as well.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] PearLRoX:
I hate belgium.. You can't find anything for my region. (Netherlands,france,.. Yes but belgium.. No –_–)

Thats why (like you say) its difficult to find the right piece of the puzzel that fits :)

Al the stock s3 phones runs on stock emc2 for now. I always try to stay close to stock and not to mix things.. The stock phone runs longer then my custom rom with good kernel ;p (*joke*)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STAticKY:
Yep there is no universal modem but xxdlib probably comes close... Dam fine on every network I've tested it on. Even better than the t variant modems that come with stock ROM from my region...

Hey Andi, one question:

Is it possible to implement an option to limit the frame rate/screen refresh rate like the Android built in energy saving option has? I have the feeling that this option has the biggest impact on battery life.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] siliconaddict:
Really like this kernel, but...

I really like this kernel, but external SD card performance drops dramatically with it... It's far worse than with Siyah kernel. Siyah kernel 1.9.1 has 14.5MB/s read en 9MB/s write, Boeffla kernel 2.10 has 11MB/s read and 4.5MB/s write :confused:. Changing the readahead buffer size doesn't help a lot. Too bad.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GzC:
Sorry for a little off topic, but did anyone try 4cyl turbo engine mod on our beloved s3? Does it bring better battery life or worst?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Did not change anything on sd card. So the kernel behaves like stock for it.

Maybe Siyah did upstream something or another tweak, do not know.

Good for you. But I still get a huge difference in speed between the 2 kernels. On my phone. Maybe it's the combo ROM + kernel, dunno. No matter how often I test. No matter the size of the readahead buffer, Boeffla kernel always is much slower. Period.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
Apologies if this has been mentioned before in this thread, but looking at the settings in beta 7 I see there is scheduler settings for both the internal and external.

So my question is :

1. Which scheduler is best for performance?

2. Which scheduler is best for battery saving?

I will greatly appreciate the answer to this, thank you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
Hi BioVolt,

no need to apologise ;)

1.) the one which is the fastest on your system.

2.) sheduler has no noticeable impact on battery so it doesn't matter you can focus to 1.)

beside of that i want to say that it also depends on which governor u use. i like to use row since

andi included it because for me it plays nice in combination with zzmoove governor. but u really have to

try it out by yourself which gov/scheduler combination is the right for your system. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
Thanks for the reply, ok then considering your response, what would be the best way to test the schedulers with the governors? Or what would be the best thing for me to look out for when testing different combinations?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] InevitableDJ:
Being a big fan of your work when I had my S3 I would love to see your work on S4 i9505
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
I would say u can see the difference in overall snappiness (apps open close etc. ) and also for example when u are scrolling (more or less microlags) in apps depending on what that particular app does in the background when u scroll in it. in general it has an impact on every sd memory read/write action. Row for example means "read over write". So it prioritizes read actions and therefore u get more read performance from it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Honchay:
My configuration is:

Governor: ZZMoove - battery

Scheduler (Both SD): Row

Sharpness Fix: on

USB charge rate: 900ma

And the rest or remaining options, I leave it stock. Snappiest with very good battery saving.- Plus, Im using Greenify to stop or hibernate some apps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pistoke:
I have mainly looked for the best for battery settings. I prefer zzmove battery with row. When I need more performance, I just change to lulzactiveq, which I have tested to be very smooth and fast for me. There may be better settings, but I'm satisfied with these. Test 2-3 days and you should find the best settings for you. To see how your battery is doing, you'll need more than one recharging cycle.

I don't use anymore benchmarking apps, because they don't tell the whole truth. It's the feeling, not the numbers.

Hi,

thanks for letting me know.

I still wonder what exactly happened, because:

After your report I loaded latest version of OmegaRom (the one that got released today apparently) and analyzed it.

I saw, there is a custom boot animation placed in /system/media there. And I just took this boot animation out, put it on /system/media on my phone (without using Omega) and it just played fine during next reboot.

So, do not know. As I said I do not want to mess up my setup currently, so was not in favour to install Omega Rom for a test. But I would have adviced you as well to take the bootanimation.zip from the latest Omega rom zip and put it under /system/media.

I am sure it would play fine then.

But good you sorted your issue. And it is now the one you wanted to have, or are you still in demand to get the one out of the Omega rom (latest version)?

Then would extract it for you.

Thanks for your response, saves me lots of work now :)
