I think gustavo will decide whats better, but synapse is under development, stweaks not, maybe thats a reason to change to synapse.

Both are ok and do nearly the same, as long as they work stable its indifferent whats used....in my opinion....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pilgrim011:
I don't like Synapse, it seems like unstable and unfinished app...

I don't care much about real time cpu info, and that seems like the only improvement over Stweaks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] souler456:
Hmmm... I only noticed just now...

I tweaked the Stweaks' read_ahead_kb value to 2048kb, rebooted, and worked fine. But when I checked the read_ahead_kb value on Performance Control, it says it's currently on 128kb. Also checked on my ROM's Performance Control, it also states that values too...

Got confused, so I manually checked the location of the read_ahead_kb directory (/sys/block/mmcblk0/bdi), and it really is 128kb. It didn't changed to 2048...

So I was wondering what block, or if it's not, what directory did you went and tweaked to adjust the read_ahead_kb? :confused:

Here's a split screenie between the two conflicts:

So [MENTION=4217277]Gustavo_s[/MENTION] , Any thoughts? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Android_Raj:
Hi Gustavo,

Are you going to merge Linux 3.14 update released recently
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Crazy-Silver:
Guys for you what's the most natural configuration for colors? What is the best governor for battery profile?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nihilista:
Just test it, there is no big difference in governors and colors are your own choice ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AndreiLux:
The app is rock solid. Anything not working is a configuration error by the local dev.

And you only have to read the post below yours to see why STweaks is outdated and unstable, and it has to do with how the apps work. Gustavo mentioned how several controls didn't even work and nobody noticed. The whole design of having the back-end as shell scripts and saving the values stored in a file that gets constantly overwritten is flawed and unpredictable. It's a big reason why I dumped STweaks on my own kernels and started something from scratch.

Synapse is how I envisioned STweaks/ExTweaks to be in the first place (I drafted/designed the XML layout for ExTweaks together with Xan and Gokhanmoral).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pilgrim011:
I respect your work very much, since your S2 days, and I am sorry if I was rude.

But, Synapse for this kernel is still not quite stable, that is what I meant. There was a freeze once while applying changes, the other time the app told me "sorry, no kernel support" although I was on latest test by Gustavo_s, and the last time I manually rebooted my device, there was a popup saying something about reverting changes that I made because they are unsafe, or something similar. But I never mess with unsafe settings, such as voltages, always running whatever the developers set. Even things like cpu governor and scheduler I leave on stock values.

So, the app is a little bit confusing for me at the moment, and I am more familiar with Stweaks, that's all.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] souler456:
Also, where can I download previous versions of Gustavo's kernel? (preferably from 03-15/20?) :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
The "problem" with synapse is that you can setup kernel much "deeper" than with STweaks so problems will come automatically because if you found new settings you are going to try them, for sure, although you hadn't them before in STweaks and were also happy :D

CPU threshold settings would be the only useful point in STweaks to add, then the kernel is perfect as it is. For me synapse is also a step back but in the end this is the Dev's decision I think ;) just my 2 cents :p

[Galaxy S II Android Development] corvus.corax:
One feature of Stweaks that I really appreciate because it saved me a few times is that it displays default values on all sliders. That is invaluable and not a minor thing! I would like to see that in Synapse if it is not present already. (I don't have Synapse now, so I can only go by what I saw on the screenshots).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nixda99:
Synapse with kernel 31.03

:confused:For me the opposite was the case. STweaks gave me an "Unexpectable error" at start, the configured read-ahead values were not visible in Settings/Performance like another user here.

Synapse works without issues for me with 31-03 build, have changed max frequenz to 1400, all voltages, zzmoove profile, I/O scheduler and read-ahead. All values were set without an error and appeared again after a reboot in Synapse and in Settings/Performance.

The sliders are more easier to change. The rom feel more snappier with 31-03 kernel.

I applied the kernel wipe script "GS2KernelWipeV2.09.zip" in recovery before update from 26.03 to 31.03, wiped dalvik and cache!!! ... Probably that were the reason for your errors?

Only disadvantage for Synapse are the missing default values at the sliders.

[MENTION=4217277]Gustavo_s[/MENTION]: Why are the default voltages values higher in 31.03 build? Thanks for your good work!!!:good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AndreiLux:
Default values appear there when you move a slider or are reset to when choosing to reset a section or globally.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Andromepat:
Works like a charm on intellidemand governor.

Did some testing with a previous version. Intellidemand and pesasusq where the only one which gave me enough performance (that's very subjective), long battery time and did not freeze after some days!

I can confirm WIFI problem on 31/03 synapse CWM
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 089man:
Can't confirm, here works wifi fine. No problem with the last kernel. Used beanstalk latest build.

Before I flash the latest kernel I used gustavo kernel wipe cleaning zip and wipe cache and dalvik.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Reno_kun:
This morning, I updated slimsaber to 01/04. I wiped cache before and system was formatted during the installation. Then I installed the 31/03 synapse build and I rebooted.

All worked fine until the phone freeze. After the reboot, wifi stopped to work and light sensor too! I tried to reboot, to clean synapse settings, to wipe dalvik... But without success.

To finish, I just reflashed the 26/03 build and now, all work fine.

If anyone has an idea...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daimaah:
Updating the kernel from old build to new Synapse build seems to break the WiFi on quite a lot of devices. However a fresh installation (for me SlimSaber 30/3) with the Synapse build has the wifi working. I also tried clearing dalvik/cache/kernel settings etc. but it didn't work. A reinstallation of the ROM + Kernel took a while but at least it's now fully working again :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Reno_kun:
I agree, but the thing I don't understand is that unlike my last test, wifi worked at the beginning until the phone freeze (maybe 10 minutes)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] luca89pe:
When i change some option on synapse, if i press "save" o "discard" (buttons on top right), synapse blocks my phone.

Maybe you should reset all to default and then restart (if that didnt freeze your Phone).....If that didn't work, try to reflash rom standard kernel, then flash gustavos again...that works for me as i had wifi issue. Onother option is to clear dalvik-cache in recovery then reboot.

Hi, i'm new here. I''m using version 31-03, wifi working fine and no problem with synapse, just have a question, is this synapse ui you guys using? Because i see it different from screenshot on playstore :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pilgrim011:
That's the problem with synapse (or current Gustavo implementation) - I'm rebooting very often and I don't want to enter synapse every time just to undo changes...

Yes, I know that, mate. But I don't want to open Synapse every time after reboot, so I will keep using Stweaks for now. Thank for your help :fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] FuN2OwN:
Is this kernel compatible with c-rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bitman64:
If it's AOSP based it might be. I have no experiences concerning your ROM.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gustavo_s:
there is no need to open the app and apply settings, just wait 2 minutes after boot and you will see a notification saying that synapse boot was completed, it means that settings are stable and were applied successfully, if you go ahead and apply it before 2 minutes you are bypassing this security feature

these ones support stweaks and synapse in a single kernel:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13349

- Removed non-functional options from stweaks, so if you notice something missing its because it was not working

- Improved some synapse scripts to avoid freezes when changing cpu settings

- Added credits for synapse & synapse support in OP

Can't confirm problems with synapse freezes or wifi. All runnning fine here, this time wifi works on first boot ;)

I can change every setting without freezes, maybe the problem some users have are ROM-related?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bitman64:
For me Synapse is still unstable. The device won't cool down. Kerneltemperature is always above 50° C and higher although I lowered CPU-frequency to 800 MHz. Switching back to STweaks makes everything allright. I would rather prefer to stay with STweaks.

Gr. B.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Resync:
yeah... 0504 works but only with stweaks for me :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nihilista:
Bit strange, you mean same kernel did different behaviour with different tools and same settings? And are you sure that this has nothing to do with rom, apps or settings? Use OS monitor and bbs to check which apps use cpu too much, high temps comes from some app working all the time and eating cpu time. Stweaks and synapse didnt use cpu time for themselves, they do settings not more or less.

So if you say something is unstable, first watch out what is making phone unstable.

Btw, with last kernel i had one freeze with touchpal, after manually rebooting wifi was gone again. Flashed kernel again and all ok. But touchpal did that from time to time, with all kernels, and wifi is not a big problem if it comes back after one reboot. But that could be real kernel issue and not app related, because some people reported that here.

Otherwise for me synapse is ok, just needs some finetuning.

fixed governor switch problem

tested on cm11 05/04, omni 06/04, slimsaber 06/04

if you have wifi problems -> wipe /system, reflash rom, gapps & kernel

if you don't like synapse you can use stweaks and forget about synapse, kernel supports both of them :)
