Now that I have the hang of it, its much much better than voodoo :cool: thanks ffolkes everything is sounding great again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
For some reason, I am having a lot of problems (ie. random reboots) with these kernels. I've had to wipe my device twice now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
Is it possible that you are using two or more tweaking applications and they could be conflicting with each other?

That's happened to me before and fixing/deleting made me see the true capabilities of the kernel.

As far as random reboots, Ive had a couple but that's about it. Still early on 1.66 for me

I have Rom Toolbox, but I don't open it/use it. I uninstalled it, we'll see if that works/helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Aww man. Sound control sucks. Band1 doesn't seem tuned well, because even on 12, the bass isn't near to 7 on Voodoo. Also, if I raise the volume past a certain point, the music starts crackling... Yuck. I'll stick on 1.65
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] seanjenks:
try turning down band 1 to 5 and make sure the saturation prevention is not checked. I also turned up band 4 to 9 band 5 to 3. It sound very clear and powerful. I use dsp for base sometimes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjrmd:
I generally keep all the Wolfson bands at zero, without any additional boosts either but use the dsp in the music app to control sound. There are no published specs about what frequencies the Wolfson bands are, and nothing about what distortion they introduce. Certainty use the dac direct and oversampling.

I use neutron player which has a nice parametric equalizer and 64bit processing

get amazing results with this kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I've tried many combinations of the sliders, the mids and highs sound good, but the bass is horrible. If it is loud, it's not accurate. As for DSP, it isn't a hardware EQ, just software. I'm a sound guy/audiophile, so it has to be prefect. For some reason on Perseus, sound control works better, not sure why.

I guess I'll just indefinitely stick with 1.65.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
Maybe this audio sound mod might be what you're looking for.. I use it and its like DSP on steroids. Just be sure to follow the instructions and get the driver installed.

Not an audiophile per se, but I listen on senheiser and klipsch and I absolutely love this mod.

Don't forget to change the'music effects'to viper if you use it. I did :o and thought it wasn't working.. Boy was I wrong.

Basically' I controlled the eq from here but use Wolfson to make my external speaker a little louder.

INDENT]Q: I can stably run this kernel. How can I use the screen-off settings so I can save battery?

You will have to intentionally crash your system to find your lowest value, and should definitely make a nandroid first. Then be sure to turn off dynamic fsync on the bottom of the I/O tab of STweaks, as this being enabled could cause data loss from a crash. When you are done with that, the first thing will be to lower the PM Lock Frequency. Try 600MHz, press Apply, then put your device to sleep, give it a few seconds, and see if it wakes. Be sure it's going into deep sleep! If it wakes up instantly, it wasn't in deep sleep. After booting, things like mediascanner can take minutes to finish and release their partial wakelocks. If you are sure it went into deep sleep, repeat with a lower frequency until you cannot wake. Pull the battery and reboot. Once it boots up, go into STweaks and set PM Lock Frequency to the last stable frequency. You must do this before the screen goes off, or else it'll crash again when it enters deep sleep!

Now, once you are sure of your stable PM frequency, move on to the next step. Set CPU Screen-Off Max Frequency to 200MHz. Use your device for a few minutes or hours or whatever. If you find music skips too much, or calls are slow to wake up the phone, set this to 300MHz, but now be prepared for a possible SOD if your device cannot handle scaling that low. If you experience one, leave this setting at 300MHz, and enable "Keep sleep max frequency fixed" and set CPU Screen-Off Fixed Max Frequency to 200MHz. If your phone was slow to wake at 200MHz before, try setting this to 300MHz.

Err, a bit of a vestigial tail here...don't forget to set Screen-Off Frequency For Responsiveness (it's higher up in the PegasusQ Scaling tab) to whatever your lowest screen-off frequency is. It isn't needed anymore and I should have taken it out probably. Like its waking counterpart, it is a threshold below which aggressive upscaling is used. Basically, it's the frequency the CPU will want to hover at, in this case, while the screen is off.

Also, what lock screen options are you taking about? I think there are a lot.

Thank you so much! I read that but I didn't know it would save me thatch battery. I'm going to give it a shot! And Cyanogenmod and liquid smooth both have built in icons for the short cuts on the lock screen. Such as having a white small messaging icon and I can set that for messaging.

Carbon Rom uses the default icon unless you specifically choose an icon. And none of them are built in like the others.​
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Natedog1:
It seems to for me anyway. Give it a shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] qwasz123:
Thanks for your help! I have it all set up and now I'm tweaking the voltages trying to find the lowest I can go with each cpu frequency!

Bump for release.

Here is a slightly beta version: v1.67a

It addresses an issue where touchwake gets way too sluggish because the screen-off policies kick in as soon as the screen times out. This was causing weird problems where the device could become unresponsive for a few seconds just after the screen times out. 1.67a adds a grace period before the governor applies the screen-off stuff while touchwake is active. I haven't tested it myself long enough to put in the main release yet.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] r80ies:
It makes mine freeze up also. But it does so randomly and during any app. Reverted back to 1.66.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
v1.67b should fix this.

Are you sure it's enabled in STweaks on the Screen tab?

What sort of screen flickering? Flickering can stem from lcdfreq or using the reduced refresh rate on the Screen tab. Are you using either of these?

v1.67b should fix this.

Re: [Kernel][AOSP][1.20|April 3rd] Matrix kernel

I haven't messed with them a lot but I did raise blues a lil and tweak a few others and am happy w/ the colors..Will upload a pic of my settings later and link it here in this post .

(Edit)

I'm no pro at this but as of now these are my stweaks color settings: http://db.tt/qZwQ9Gfd

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
50mhz isn't really recommended, but you can try it if you'd like. Research has been done, and 200mhz is best for battery life. 50mhz might use less power, but it takes more time to get things done. Kind of like if you put exactly 1 gallon of gas in a car; go too fast and you'll waste it, but go too slow and the minimum idle will eat up what you thought you were saving.

To be honest I find the colors by default to be washed out too. It is possible that the device this was calibrated on had a different native saturation point. I believe an S3 was used, so it's possible that there is some minor manufacturing difference in the screens as well. Fortunately that's why you can just tweak them. Personally, I like to adjust the chroma saturation weight to around +20. Make sure to check the Register Hook, and make sure NOT to check the chroma master toggle (since it's already on by default) otherwise you won't see the results. Then I adjust the RBG In Whites to counter any perceived color shift. But I must admit, washed out or not, AndreiLux/Slimer777 did an outstanding job on getting the colors themselves accurate. I have my own colorimeter, and confirmed out of the box white was astonishingly well balanced - only a tiny bump on one of the In White sliders was needed.

What exactly are "Trinity colors"? I know Trinity is a kernel, and I see mention of color calibration on the description, but I don't know how the user uses it.

I too had a sleep of death. First one, I'm in 1.67c. Didn't have any problems on 1.67
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
Obviously this shouldn't be happening, but when I am unable to reproduce it myself I cannot troubleshoot it. :/ If you have "CPU Screen-Off Max Frequency" set to Disabled on the PegasusQ Scaling tab of STweaks this shouldn't happen at all. For the record, it isn't a sleep of death per se, what's actually happening is the frequency aspect of the screen off policy gets stuck at whatever you have it set to in STweaks, usually like 200MHz, which is so slow it gives the illusion of an unresponsive device. Again, I'm working on it, and it shouldn't be happening, but if you give it time (up to a minute even) it will usually turn on. Then you can use SetCPU or similar to restore the max to 1600 and not have to risk a battery pull.

Updated Gesture Pack (v1.04)

Version 1.68:

- Linux 3.0.87

- Fixed a huge bug for those using pegasusq and enabling "Keep sleep max frequency fixed". The bug was applying the fixed freq upon screen off (instead of screen off AND suspend)

- V(R) I/O scheduler

- Enable/Disable kernel logging in STweaks (Memory/Internal tab) Defaults to off, as 99% of people don't use dmesg

- Enable/Disable Android logger in STweaks (Memory/Internal tab) Defaults to off, as 99% of people don't use /dev/log

- Support for xpad (not sure if anyone would use this, so it's not in STweaks. Manually enable the module with "insmod /system/lib/modules/xpad.ko")

- Some smaller commits
