Re: [KERNEL][JB42][AOSP] ¤ BMS ¤ d2vzw / d2usc 3.0.y + 3.4.y [2013-03-31]

Decided to switch back to this kernel and play around, running awesome with no overclocking, even with a good bit of undervolting it's still quite stable. But once I go above it at all, it immediately freezes and reboots.

Strangely, on my first boot after flashing, I set it to 1728 and it seemed to work fine, but haven't been able to get that since. But at 1512 and undervolted it sleeps great, is smooth and snappy, and is quite stable, with no reboots yet at 1512 mhz. (Knock on wood)

I use SetCPU, and have tried disabling both the thermald script, and the postboot scripts independently, with the same results. Only init.d scripts are 98tweaks and Crossbreeder, and I have no additional scripts or tweaks flashed or modified. I thought it could have to do with some service not being allowed to start before overclocking, but no matter how long I wait I get the same results.

Not sure what else to try, unless I start playing with every kernel tuning app in the Play Store. I'd love to help you get to the bottom of this. But as stable and great as it's been at stock clocks, I may just stick with it as is for now.

How's the latest kernel run on SlimBean Build 3? Anyone running that combo?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jm700wx:
I have been running it on the latest Slim and it has been great. No issues at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike216:
Me too, running on the latest liquid and everything is butter :thumbup: battery is insane. Back to getting 4+ hours of screen on time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
I'm running Slim 3 with the 3/31 BMS. Smooth, stable and great battery life. Got a little over 4800 in Quadrant, which is pretty good for an AOSP rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apfrost:
Running the same, everything runs great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jzd5032:
Using this on slim 3 and running great. Which governor and scheduler gives the best battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Well it may not be the absolute best for battery life, but I'm on track for over four hours screen on using dancedance/sio, slightly undervolted. Same setup I got 4800 on Quadrant with, so seems pretty balanced to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jzd5032:
I've noticed that if I reboot my phone with the charger connected while using this kernel on slim 3, it stays on the charging screen and won't boot until you disconnect the charger. Anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trvbone:
I think there's still a msm otg wakelock related to charging unplugging or something not sure if that's the correct name but I think battery pull or reboot fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Yep, same here. Had this on Liquid as well, with other kernels too. Wondering if it's something in the CM code.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
I think someone mentioned this had to do with the rom's advanced reboot menu.

Hey GideonX, great work again. I really appreciate all the work you're putting into this kernel. I do have one question. I noticed that Invisiblek put one out over the weekend and had mention some work done to the WiFi driver. Is that been included in with today's build? I'm just wondering. I've not had any problems with WiFi but if something can be made better,why not right?

Thanks,

Ray

I jump around quite a bit. I test all the stuff I add, so it's hard to stick with a combo :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike216:
The colors are absolutely perfect on the current release. There perfect please keep them like this. I know you had to have adjusted them because they look slightly more cool then stock. Not too blue though, that's the mistake that most make when adjusting colors. Nice work. Great kernel! Good night

I heard there's some big updates in the CM kernel!

I'm starting to get insane battery life. I've never woke up 9 hours later to see 98% left. Very happy with the current build. It's definitely the best battery life I've ever gotten on this phone. :beer:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike216:
I seen a nice description when Google searching for(custom CPU governors)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Which ROM are you on? I see you post in the liquid thread a lot but not sure if you're still on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike216:
You got it the most recent liquid build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] masri1987:
What build is that?

Also what updates in kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mademan420:
I see what ROM you are running. Mind sharing your kernel setup with it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike216:
Stock everything. Voltage, governor, with the exception of a slight over clock.

If your not getting good battery 99% of the time you have a app that keeps waking up your phone from deep sleep. That can be a pain in the ass to track down. If your signal is less then 3 bars them turn data off if not using it for long periods of time. Wifi will always give the best battery because your router is doing all the work. Look for your screen off to match your sleep time in battery settings.

I run with 100% brightness all the time and can still get through the day on a full charge with 9 hours of idle time. Qualcom's krait CPU is kicking some ass.

BMS is no joke:)

Or if this would be a ROM issue I'm sorry and you can just tell me to shut up and go over there to complain. But I searched the thread over there and no one else seems to be complaining about this issue so I just figured I'd start here.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
Sounds like you need a bit more voltage. Up it 5 or 10 and see if that helps.

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cruiserdude:
x2

Specifically on your lowest multiplier or two. Best thing is to do like I do, and lock it at a single multiplier, keep lowering voltage while testing stability. Once there's any errors, bump it up a tad then move to the next multiplier. Just like when you do a PC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Just want to be sure I'm thinking this through correctly..if my voltage is, for example, set at 900 for the three lowest frequencies, it seems there's no reason to use any frequency below the highest of those three. So if 192, 270, and 324 mhz are all at 900mv, I should set min freq to 324, because all three frequencies use the same amount of power, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RaiderX29:
GideonX,

Will be see an updated build soon? The CM commits from the 18th make this kernel not able to boot on any of the newer CM based roms. I'm in stock kernel hell right now.

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
Yup, it's coming :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
3.4.y Build 2013-04-20 - http://www.droidhype.com/kernel/34/

This was tested against CM nightly build 4/20 and has been solid so far. It was also tested against the Carbon 4/20 build, but display distortion was evident.

- Many CM/CAF updates

- Linux 3.4.41

- Supports new display driver changes in CM and CM based roms (nightlies after 4/19). If you flash on a rom that does not have the updated display drivers, you will boot to a black screen. If your rom developer does not have an update for these changes, flash the 4/15 release until you get an update.

- Added FIFO scheduler

- Tweaked ROW scheduler

Works awesome for me now! This is the best kernel for the d2vzw! Keep up the good work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reborn627:
Thanks for the updated kernel. Unfortunately it's not working with mastamoon's build for today. Phone boots but nothing is displayed. Touch screen works fine as I was able to reboot into recovery by touching the right spots from memory... please, nobody comment on that. I realize that it sounds a little cheeky but couldn't think of another way to put it ;) Anyway, thanks again for the build. My guess is that there is something that needs to be added/changed in the mastamoon's CM build.

Peace,

Ray

EDIT:Just read post#369. A little surprised these changes haven't been implemented yet in mastamoon's ROM. Though I'm certain they will be shortly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
I think he's still compiling the old drivers. Easiest way to confirm this is to flash BMS 4/15. If it boots fine, then it means the rom isn't using the new display drivers.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] masri1987:
I'm also looking for governor scheduler combo, using trickster mod. Also is there anyway to turn vibration down?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cruiserdude:
Vibration control is currently built into several roms, like Liquidsmooth for instance. I know Anthrax kernel has had it enabled via sysfs control for some time, but I dunno if anyone else has it yet in the kernel.

As far as combos, play around and see. For io schedulers, I've always found the best results with row or zen, and you can never go wrong with deadline for stability and battery. Governors are gonna depend even more on your usage. Interactive always works on anybody's kernel, but of the ones that GideonX added, I've found badass to be the overall best. I personally find the best performance with AssWax, but its not currently enabled, and isn't always the most stable.

I'm currently running badass/zen, if you care.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
BMS has the CM haptic adjustment built in. I turned mine way down in CM settings, stock is too damn strong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RaiderX29:
Is there a way to adjust it for rom's that don't have that adjustment baked in? I'm actually interested in turning mine up.

Not likely, sorry.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Installed the latest kernel on the xylon nightly. Was using trickster mod for cpu control. I selected fifo governor and every time I checked the app it was rest back to cfq. When they say governor control is in paid version only, that applies to changing the governor? I assumed it was more for advanced governor features. I also have set cpu and Rom toolbox pro. Any reason to use trickster or any other cpu control over those? I know set cpu doesn't have that many options. Thanks.

And as far as the kernel,I have the gorilla gadgets 4500 extended and Was running what I thought was fifo/interactive combo. Not even 8 hrs with about 3 1/2 screen time . Not good by any means but going to run it another day or two to see if it improves.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Something is wrong if you are getting that poor of battery life. I get way more than that with the stock battery. Run better battery stats or GSam and see what's causing drain.

Trickster should stick paid or not, the paid only gives the advanced kernel controls. It works fine for me. Xylon looks like it needs some more development at this stage from what I can glean from reading the thread. Have you considered a more established ROM like Slim?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
I actually just uninstalled better battery stats because it was asking for su permissions every minute. I'll reinstall in a little, just got to work. I usually run tw roms but xylon was new so I wanted to try it.

Don't know why trickster wasn't holding my settings. I uninstalled trickster and used Rom toolbox and set some profiles. Don't know why I'm getting horrible battery life with the extended but like I said, I'll test for two more days
