Yes... Your phone is crazy.:D

Those apps you mentioned are from Rom not kernel.I guess they keep coming back because the app are located in /etc/product..you should delete that folder.

Benchmark are kinda useful but inconsistent.

If you really want good benchmark score use performance governor +cfq io...and run antutu benchmark twice.I got 7000+ using them and about the modules....those are extra addon.you can find more about it on the op.

Edit:

here screenshot of benchmark i just did

[MENTION=2266044]etch04[/MENTION] what rom are u using? :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
I use mujeni stock jb Rom with fixes and don't use any mod or tweak.

This has been the best stock Rom for me and I don't find it necessary to flash Rom everyday as I did when I was on ics .

I would recommend using an app called Android Tuner for tweak.this is the best when it come customizing your device and this is what I use.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dwaipayanray95:
Frequency scaling bug still exists on v7 also battery drain is faster than 6b

Please fix :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
Ok...so can you give some more details like what governor and io are you using?and have you tried using different governor? I m asking all this as I haven't tried all governor.I use mostly luzactiveq and I think it good enough for me. it would help me nail this bug if you give more details.

What's auto hotplug?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
it is auto hotplug driver for ARM SoCs. Targeted at current generation SoCs with dual and quad core applications processors.

Automatically hotplugs online and offline CPUs based on system load.It is also capable of immediately onlining a core based on an external event.so in short,it give more improvement to hotplugging.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dwaipayanray95:
Which Governor does it confine to? Because there isn't hot plug Governor but an already tweaked version of it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
It's a generic driver, so it should works for all multi core aware governor but I did add auto hotplug code to Pegasusq and SLP governor to test if there difference.try out those two governor and see if you notice better performance.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dwaipayanray95:
Alright onto it! Will let you know soon
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
Just saw it by now.

Great job! Flashed your kernel and it seems pretty well. :good:

One question - is it possible to get 1,15GhHz back?

Sorry, if you wrote it somewhere, but hadn't the time to read whole thread, yet.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
I believe I owe you a Thanks..for helping me with ramdisk extraction.that really helped me alot.

The overclock implemented as it is on some kernel is not really OC,they wont work but will only mess OPP enum struct,to enable real OC we need to hack prcmu module which i am not capable of doing it right now.so it is a no go for me for now.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
But you did the job, so no need to thank me. ;)

Ok, i mentioned that phone feels faster than before, after i checked some things on it.

And... if you are right - as i believe to you, because i read in this thread, that you really builded this kernel down to the smallest detail - then we do not need 1.15. Or better say left it away, until it is possible to make a real OC.

Its fast enough, so that i sometimes thought it started an app before i touched the icon. :D

Pretty well done, bro. :good:

Edit:

Forgot to say, that ram is amazing. I got up to 143MB free...

Confirm reboot two times since yesterday.

First was while writing sms and second while i updated gmail in google market. Using "ondemand" and "sio".

Another thing i mentioned was a short screen-flicker while playing Jetpack. But this only happend once, short time after it was started. Played about half an hour without any probs then.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rakz992:
I only experience screen flicker while playing games.. No reboots though!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
I don't have reboot problem at all but screen does flicker sometime which cause by less ram allocated to gpu.does the previous version have this problem?

PS:

I m working on the frequency bug.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rakz992:

Suggestion -please add hotplug governor as it is tweakable for battery life and performance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
hotplugx almost has the same coding as hotplug.the only difference is that hotplugx adds early suspend.I think it's better than hotplug.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dwaipayanray95:
Agreed but we can tweak hotplug according to our needs with scripts just like ondemand
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
I am sure all parameters available in hotplug are available in hotplugx or are some parameter missing.

Can you confirm it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dwaipayanray95:
You can't tweak hotplugx with any scripts or 3rd party apps
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
Can you post script...i'll check it out.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rakz992:
Why don't you just create an init.d script to tweak hotplugx if apps don't help!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dwaipayanray95:
You can't

It's not a tweakable governor because it's already tweaked
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rakz992:
Give me the valves you want to tweak it to.. I'll see if anything is possible :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
New version released.

The biggest change in this version is the implementation of DVFS.read about in OP.with it you can now set min and max.. no more freq scaling bug.I added how to set freq in HOW-TO section.read it before you start complaining that freq bug still exist.DVFS also noticeably increased battery life on my device.I suggest you full charge and wipe battery stats and test it out.

I also have decreased ram to 388mb from 390mb.now system much more stable.

I added 05exp init.d script for reference and have set max_limit to 800mhz.change it according to your need.

Check rest of the changelog for more detail.

Don't forget to leave feedback.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] asakurato:
Good, with decreased ram there is no more flickers in games!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] itachilinux:
so, how to edit /system/etc/init.d/05exp if it was installed on ramdisk?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jayrupani:
A small observation, 600MHz step is gone.

You need execute 05exp script to make it active. This is what I observed.

Thanks etch :thumbup::)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BLACKFeLiX:
Strange,05exp gives me huge of lags.

After i delete it ,all become very smooth.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dwaipayanray95:
+1 a bit laggy

but i still didnt get the tweaking part

because in the 05exp its set at 800mhz

but even setcpu show min max as 200 and 1ghz

i tried other apps too but the same result

What if i want to set it at 600mhz? I replace the 800000 to 600000? Right?

How should i check whether its set at that or not? o.O

Hoping for assistance soon :)

EDIT:

Please add the 600Mhz Step because when I set the frequency to be at 600, the phone is only capable of reaching upto 400Mhz as there isnt a 600MHz step

Please add because 600mhz is the perfect freq for battery saving with normal usage :)

EDIT: Please make us an init.d sciprt for the same to set the frequency at boot
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rakz992:
Tried adding 600mhz to cpufreq_table through init.d script.. Doesn't help... may be 600mhz is not defined..

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rakz992:
Same script that etch04 provided with the kernel... Just change the first string for whatever freq you want to set it to :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
it's not in the ramdisk....it's in your init.d script folder /system/etc/init.d/05exp.

yes, i have removed the 600mhz freq as i'm not quite satisfied with how it,s implemented.until i find more reliable way..it will be not include it for now. just use 800mhz for now as you see much battery drop then 600mhz.

the script is in your /system/etc/init.d/05exp...you can edit it according to your need.

just reboot twice or thrice...and it should work.

it does lag with initial boot after flashing kernel as it needs reinitialize everything with new a kernel.use it for sometime and everything will be much smooth but if you want flawless performance just delete the cpufreq_max setting and let DVFS control your cpu according to your system load.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mokiwipeout:

Yes and if you want to save battery you governor like hotplug.

As I have said before..go to /system/etc/init.d/05exp and edit the file or delete it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
Check CPU Freq post on HOW TO section and you find your answer.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dwaipayanray95:
I flashed your kernel

The script says it should be at 800MHz

I used setcpu and set it to performance and max frequency was 1ghz :/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jayrupani:
That's cos the script isn't auto executing during startup. If you execute script using terminal all works fine.

I also checked the permission as suggested by etch at op, but still doesn't execute.

This is just my observation. Maybe ya'll can try and confirm. You guys better in this than me. :):thumbup:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
Hmmm...that's weird because script works fine here...try ticking all permission i.e rwxrwxrwx of script and renamed it to 00exp and try it again.

Also make sure that there are any script with name starting 00.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jayrupani:
Aha!!! our rom has a script with 00 maybe that's conflicting.

[MENTION=4758749]dwaipayanray95[/MENTION] Sir please advice can we delete or rename that script.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rakz992:
Script works fine for me.. Self executing during start up..

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

You can't set the frequency using any app with v8.. Use init.d script to set frequency.. Check how to section on the first page to do it!!

Done. It works. :D

Kernel runs well so far :good:, only mentioned some strange things with bluetooth. Once i boot it works and sometimes it won't work after boot. Will watch this.

Another question - on which cpu-speed is kernel booting, before script will set "new" speed limits?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
i need more detail. does it fail...before backup creation or midway?? etc... .the post just above you has written that he did cwm backup but it's slow.so,if you want something,please post in more detail.

the kernel boot with default cpu-freq max 1000mhz before script set the limit.i am using without cpu limit and i would recommend removing speed limit for lag free experience.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
1000MHz...ok, i suspected this. I never set any speedlimits...life is too fast, to slow something down. :D

For cwm, i found error after "unix2dos done" --> "fail 5".

So, backup starts, check space on sdcard, begin to do some work and after short time it comes with error.

And i confirm that normal backup is quiet slow. Maybe you may chose another version of cwm.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
I agree...to the speed statement.

About the cwm I'll check out if I can fix or replace with newer version.

Agree with you.

I have some difficults with this kernel. First thing is bluetooth, once it comes up without problem and after another boot it don't work. didn't found out why, yet.

Other thing is that phone sometimes runs fast like hell :good: and from one second to another it slow-down, like it works with 50MHz only. Tried different things and changed governors, no effects.

what if i use Fly-on-Mod with this kernel ??? will it conflict ??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
here is a general recommendation...use the 6.2.A.1.100 firmware. .i am using it right now with ondemandq and sio and it pretty fast and haven't come across the bluetooth problem in this rom....but i am still testing it.

previously i was on mujeni jb stock rom and like you said sometime it smooth and sometime laggy.i am not sure if because of the rom but i personally feel that latest firmware is fast. try it out if you haven't installed the 6.2.A.1.100 firmware.

about the CWM....which is do you prefer to be included in kernel..CWM5 or CWM6?.

I don't think it kernel related because I don't have that problem.maybe its your Rom since you are heavily modded Rom.try changing your Rom.I'm using latest 6.2.A.1.100 Rom and I don't come across any problem.maybe you should try it too.

About battery try charging using socket charger to 100% and wipe battery stat.also if you want battery to last longer use hotplug governor.i personally use ondemandq.try this suggestions and see if improve your situation.
