OMG 500MHz:eek: !!! Are you on thumbs up(tufaani karte hain)? LOL!

No I've not tried anything above 300MHz. You might wanna use a different governor because ktoon always has two cores active when screen on. Use something like interactivex(or others a lil bit research needed) which switches off the core when not in use so that you can use high minimum frequencies when screen on.

Also, report your experiences here!!:highfive:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Thanks for this information. I was always wondering whats is the sense of having duel core when the both cores always run at same speed, Now I know why this was happening.

BTW there are three settings in SmartReflex, do they also matter?

EDIT : interactivex governor frozen my phone and forced a reboot.Unfortunately I had set the trickster on boot and now its geeing frozen at every boot. What to do in this situation?

Thankfully managed to recover from this issue by changing max CPU freq in the trickster.

Have tried intereactivex, interactive etc but still both cores are running at same speed whenever in use. Also tried multicore power setting but nothing happened.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Yep they definitely matter. I get a better screen on when smart reflex is on. Refer op a detailed info is given about SR.

About freezes. Yeah I feared that would happen! Because since a few releases, none of the governors except ktoonservative is stable if frequency is anything above 1ghz. Idk might be a small bug ....or not:(

Roll back to 1 ghz and try it.

Flash trickster reset in op

Well, consider

1) when the cpu has minimal load, then both cores run at same speeds.

2) when load is moderate, then load is distributed equally among two cores. This is so because if dynamic cpu scaling is allowed, then one core will rest and another core will scale all the way to max which will increase the power consumption. So idea is always to keep both CPUs at min-moderate load.

3) under heavy load, well both have to run at max frequencies to satisfy the demand.

Note that this is explained in a very crude way and you should read a bit more if you want more info.

Guys mystery solved!!! We were getting freezes when governor was changed because all the other governors have an option for high speed frequency.

open trickster, set governor to intelliactive, open governor control, set hispeed_freq to to whatever overclocked value. Set the SAME value in frequency profile and you're gooooddd to gooo:D
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
JBX 12/8

Alright guys now hands on with 12/8 JBX TEST build with mokee 8/8.

I wanted to try extreme undervolting.

So, here are my results-

1) Was successfully able to undervolt upto 1375mV for 1200mhz!! Tried 1370 too but freezes after a bit high load(your mileage may vary).

2) Was successfully able to undervolt upto 1360mV (didn't try any further).

3) GPU at 384 MHz(although affects screen time a lot vs 307 MHz.

Antutu just shy of 12k mark!!! I've got 1 hell of a chip I would say!:laugh:

Screenshots later after my device completes charge

Hope this awesomeness continues:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
The 12/8 build broke com.android.phone for me.. :/

Back to the previous build for now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Shubham, great to know about your experiments went successful.

Unfortunately I am stuck with constantly freezing phone, you know history of my experiments.

I tried to go reverse in the settings I made in the tricster and tried different previous combinations but still phone is constantly freezing. Now I don't have any clue what exactly is causing it. Once it went in serious bootloop and I even had to dirty flash+gapps but still no luck. Then reflashed the JBX kernel also and phone got frozen after I opened some apps.

Finally had to come back to stock 300-1000 in the JBX. My serious doubt is on the CPU governor (mostly I was on 'ondemandx') but it also maybe the smartreflex and read ahead buffer (I set it 2048)

Now I think my phones ROM has f**ked up heavily after dirty flash, gapps and kernel reinstall. Looks like will have restart from scratch.

If this freezing issue wasn't there, the 500 min clock experiment was going ok for me. Battery drain pattern also seemed good but unfortunately I couldn't complete any of the battery cycle from the two recharges because the phone started getting stuck in between the cycles.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Hey Jack! It's really sad to know that things aren't working for you:(

But I mentioned a few posts back about overclocking with SR enabled.

You just have to set same voltages for 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 GHz respectively. Also, never mind any other governors. Ktoon beats them all(esp intelliactive) in battery life. I feel that intelli stays on max frequencies for far too long.

INSTANT FREEZES are always due to OCing with SR enabled. So try above trick. Remeber NEVER use trickster mod to change voltages IDK it seems buggy. Use kernel tweaker or Faux

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

Hmmm.. That's strange! Did you try reflash?

dirty flash rom that youre using, then re-flash JBX
[Motorola Atrix 2] thehurricaneguy:
I tried that, but it was still broken.

I couldn't even unlock my phone.

It kept crashing.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Have you tried remounting your sd card? Might sound foolish but it worked for me this happened to me with CM. But your's could be a completely different case coz I wasn't using JBX then
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Here I am bit of confused.

Should I turn the SR on or off?

What is the safest voltage to start with?

And which governor you found best and least buggy so far other than ktoon? What I feel is that mostly the freezes happen when I change the governor.

Will use the kernel tweaker for voltage settings but do I really need to temper the voltage in first place? My first goal is to find out most appropriate minimum and maximum clock speeds. Then I will start playing with the voltage. Here I haven't touched the voltage but still the freezes happening.

Right now formatting and preparing the memory card. After that will format the system and will flash the SlimKat 7.0 ROM afresh and will start all the game again.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Hi! Sorry was outta town!

SR should be on for better battery life. I'm just saying that you need to adjust voltage for frequency greater than 1ghz as SAME.

For example, frequency above 1ghz are 1.1,1.2 and 1.3ghz. So adjust voltage using kernel tweaker as 1380(works best) or 1375mV (may work) for all three. And then overclock otherwise you'll get instant freeze

As for best governor, I really don't have any idea because overclocking just results in freezes if I change to any other governor no matter how much I try to tweak it. Just the amount of time taken by the phone to freeze changes with tweaking

Also, in changelog it was mentioned that intelliactive as the default governor . But it's not ..so I guess we'll have to wait for [MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION] for his input. I've even Sent him a PM.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Thanks, I was missing this part. Will keep in mind to have same voltage for all the 1+ ghz frequencies next time.

Another thing I notices is that there is option of battery saver in the Aroma installer which says "check to keep the battery saver off". Its checked by default. Should we leave it checked or should we uncheck it? What I noticed is that if I leave it checked to disable the battery saver, the battery saver still remains on by default. That line is actually confusing in the installer. :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
It's "battery friend disable" I think. I would keep it ticked. enabling it uses hardcoded frequencies in sleep mode or something
[Motorola Atrix 2] dtrail1:
New

PRE-RELEASE TEST build

online!

Changelog is easy, only one single commit - but a very big one!

This should improve things a lot - hope so! :) If everything is working as expected (needs you as testers! Please check HDMI), this will be the base buiuld for the next official update release!

NOTE: Upload will be finished within 10 minutes...
[Motorola Atrix 2] dtrail1:
Another new test build is online, with great power consumption. Also OC is supposed to work better now.

Please test hdmi!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Finally reflashed the JBX kernel today after running the SlimKat 7 with stock Kernel for a long time. Thankfully this time no reboots, no bootloops so far.

As you suggested, I left the tick mark on before battery friend. Now when I open the trickster mod, I see battery friend is enabled by default. Should I keep the battery friend on or off?
[Motorola Atrix 2] dtrail1:
It depends on your personal feeling, bf can help saving battery.

What about hdmi? Working good? Can i release it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
[MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION]

I haven't tested hdmi but battery life is slightly worse than 12/8 build. Also I got "set_perm" error in aroma. Does it have something to do with it? Cm11 4/8.

I'm trying intelliactive governor though and it's rock stable at 1.2 ghz. Maybe that's why battery life is affected? What are your thoughts?
[Motorola Atrix 2] holeshot77:
Same set_perm issue. Same setup.

Sent from my nuked G2...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gr8mobiPro:
[MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION] i have a question. My atrix 2 is by default 1.2ghz on stock kernel. Till what no. Of MHz i can oc my device with stability.

Also, can you help me about voltage? What should be a standard voltage i should keep for 1.3GHz? I mean min and max voltage for xGHz.

(I am sorry if my query sound stupid. Even i have gone through your post and guidance word by word) becoz of this uncertainty, I m not able to use jbx on fullest.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
You are good to go with stock voltages at 1.3 ghz especially with latest test build. I'm on 1.2 ghz heavily undervolted at 1370mV down from 1395mV, and I see significant improvement in battery life. Also enable smart reflex for all 3.
[Motorola Atrix 2] turffe:
Sorry for noob, but can someone help me to undervolt using Tricker mod app?
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Battery life with latest test build and cm 4/8. Tested with intelliactive governor.

1.2ghz at 1375mV(was experiencing lag with 1370mV)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ayush Jain:
I find ktoon better in terms of battery and performance as well... Just flashed the latest test build couple of days ago after so long

Will post my results later
[Motorola Atrix 2] swaggy123:
Those are awesome stats there...really better than stock
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
I am not able to figure out why my A2 battery drains so rapidly with jbx kernel. This screenshot of normal usage which also includes 4-5 hours of quiet standby time during night.

I flashed the 7/25 release of this kernel previous day after running slimkat 7.0 with stock kernel for few days.

One thing to be noted here that actual usable battery of our A2 is just between 100-30% and after that it quickly drops to 0%. So here almost whole battery drained with sparse usage.

I also got some perm error notice while flashed the kernel. Don't know why it was there. I flashed the kernel twice and error appeared both times.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
That's pretty steep! I'm guessing your phone isn't entering deep sleep. Check trickster mod and check the cpu state for "deep sleep". Sometimes, reboot helps unless you've tried it
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
I have done all that and after checking all this I posted this at here. Finally switched back to stock kernel again :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Is your phone entering deep sleep? That's what I can think of. Or you could try the latest build in test folder, which is what I'm using and it's definitely better than 25/7. Good luck!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Uzayr:
using the latest test build here....really surprised to see the vast improvement here...i enter deep sleep no issue.

using smartass governor and oc'd [MENTION=4691858]1.3[/MENTION]ghz using default values and smart reflex all the turned on.

will report battery life after a full cycle.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
You could try undervolting to get the best out of both battery life and performance! For me, 1.3 ghz works absolutely fine with 1380 mV as opposed to 1397mV.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Uzayr:
You're right.

i didn't undervolt. i got good stand-by time. but screen time took the worse..but hey..if you want performance you need to sacrifice battery haha.

with default mV i got 10% drain every hour.

i'll try undervolting and let you know. thanks for the tip by the way.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
What happened here, my phone didn't fully go in the deep sleep during non usage time in the night? I just flashed the 7-25 last night. Phone was super stable on stock slimkat 7.0 before the flashing. Battery was also sustaining for around a day. Do the Fauxclock cause this because I see that running in the BG apart form other regular activities since last 9 odd hours.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
You gotta try the latest 21/8 build. I'm on that and I'm sure you won't be disappointed! Also if and when you flash it, tick only trickster mod.

With latest, you can use any governor.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
You mean I can set the volts also in the trickster and governor will also not bug like whet it did last time on my phone? No need for faux clock, kernel tweaker etc ? Is the new version stable enough to keep on daily rom ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Yeah!! Overclock stability has also improved!

This is much better as it's recommended that we shouldn't use more than one kernel tweaking apps as they may cause conflict. Just tick trickster
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Flashed it over SlimKat 7.9 (Smooth build even with stock kernel) but got the set perm error in this version also. Whats that error? Is there something wrong or missing ?

One more thing, my phone gets heat up too much within minutes of usage. Area around rear and front camera gets too much heated up that it becomes almost unbearable to put the phone on ear. Sometimes I get scared that it may blast anytime :mad: The heating is lees with stock kernel but its gets too much with the JBX kernel
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
The set perm error is okay. I haven't found any problems which could be traced back to set perm error. But heating up and unbearable at that problem is new to me. Sometimes it makes me wonder if all atrix 2 have same chipsets! lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
LOL.. :D They definitely aren't' same, here are few members who have two Atrix 2 where one is running at 1.0gh and another is running at 1.2gh on stock roms. :D

Anyways, now my phone is not entering in the deep sleep after flashing new version of JBX. Have restarted, have looked at background running apps and all and nothing suspicious is found. Also turned off wifi and sync, still no deep sleep. Last night also happened but restarting the phone fixed it. :mad::confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
I face deep sleep issues after first reboot after flashing jbx. It's because cache partition is wiped. A reboot recreates the cache partition and phone enters deep sleep. Since you mentioned that even reboot didn't solve it, it could be rom. I'm currently on cm11 by Hurricane. The build is rock stable with jbx oc and undervolted.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Intellidemand governor
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Now its entering into deep sleep. I booted into stock boot recovery and wiped cache partition form there, and phone is doing fine after that reboot.

But I am not happy with the battery backup these days. Just a bit of usage and battery is gone :mad: We can get impressive graphs for the sake of records but they are nowhere near to reality when it comes about actual usage. I don't think we have had only 3 hours of screen time during the stock ROM days, did we? And 3G draining is much worst.

These days its a joke to keep phone on 3G+sync, it won't last for even half a day. And on the top of all, that sudden 10% drop at 30% point. :mad: Don't know how to get best of both worlds - battery + performance.

I will also try out this intelidemand governor but not expecting any miracle.

EDIT

id anyone noticed one thing, one core gets offline in the intelidemand governor sometimes, I didn't see that in any other governor. Now this should be helpful for the battery :D !!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
I read a lot of positive reviews on intellidemand governor in nexus forums (although now it's replaced by intelliactive).

To be fair, even the likes of s5 and apples don't last a day with sync on and 3g with network on all the time. It's a lot to expect considering our chipset is old and dosen't have much power management tweaks found in snapdragons.. Also 1785mah battery is not enough according to today's standards.

Actually we're doing quite well as compared to Galaxy Note! My dad's note running dirty unicorns fails to last a day with much less usage even when it sports much larger battery.

EDIT just found out a bug. Hdmi is on even when Hdmi off is ticked in aroma. You'd have to manually set Hdmi value to 0
[Motorola Atrix 2] dtrail1:
this bug is related to CM, since they changed the install-recovery.sh script according to their recovery, init.d is broken on most roms.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
I am sticking with 7.0 build :P i guess new builds have some problems.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
What kinds of problems are you talking about?? I'm using cm by hurricane and haven't found any bug that hampers usability :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Mindvisi0n:
I am talking about SlimKAt.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
I flashed the latest 7.9 build, flashed jbx over it after gapps. I didn't wipe battery stats. When I booted, I started facing heating issues!! I thought OK.. Maybe it's the rom. Dirty flashed and rebooted 7.9 with stock kernel (again without wiping battery stats) and heating issues were not there.

So rom issue was ruled out.

I rebooted into recovery, wiped battery stats and then installed jbx.. Heating issue gone!!! Even though I can't conclude this but those of you facing issues, did you guys wipe battery stats BEFORE flashing kernel?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Have tried everything and that too in different ROMs and builds, and I have done it many a times just to reach on conclusion that my Atrix 2 doesn't like JBX kernel. Mostly its the heating and battery drain issue. And more importantly I don't see any gain in the performance after overclocking, rather sometimes I feel the stock kernel runs much faster on my phone.

Right now running a clean setup of SlimKat 7.9 with stock kernel since couple of days. Have recharged the battery only once in last two days, phone is running cool and smooth.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Well gallery images load much slower with stock kernel, app opening time especially Facebook is a lot quicker with jbx, also, scrolling stutters in stock. Tried with slim 7.9. Haven't tested battery life though
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
I didn't notice any difference in the performance of the apps we use regularly like phonebook, dialer, message etc run. I don't use Facebook app, open it in the browser when I need it so can't say about that. Agree with bit of leg in gallery and few other apps but the difference for me is worthless because of the cost I am paying in return.

I have seen few posts in this thread about good performance and efficiency of this kernel so I don't doubt on it's capability, its just that my phone doesn't like it. :)

First of all the AnTuTu never ran on my phone in CM ROMs. And in rest of the ROMs I get scores below 9K. Wonder how come your phone is achieving 13K+ in stock ROMs :eek:

Here is one of my post on my scores with JBCX kernel : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54810922&postcount=1862

One major difference I see is your RAM speed is around 600 even in stock kernel and 650+ after overclocking whereas mine RAM speed is just 413 even after overclocking.

[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Hey [MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION], is there any way to change min GPU frequency to 153 mhz? Because 102mhz causes significant lag in playstore, WhatsApp, Facebook. I think 102 mhz just won't cut it nowadays. Plus stock 3.0.8 has min 153 mhz and still gives battery life comparable to jbx if not better
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
OK so I tried out this jbx kernel and I have noticed a couple of things. I get lower benchmarks when I use the trickster app instead of the performance settings. And trickster resets after 2 hours back to default settings.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
did you use frequency lock for locking frequencies? An option in trickster mod just above the frequency table
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
I did and it reset also. I tried everything so I just use the stock performance editor. Sucks I can't modify more than that
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
If you use frequency lock and the adjust cpu frequency by using any app other than trickster(cm performance included), then frequency lock is automatically disabled
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:
OK, I'm not a dumbass. If u read what I wrote I state that I tried using trickster. Trickster kept resetting to the default parameters. So I then deleted trickster and started using cm performance controls. BTW after 2 days it also resets back to 1 GHz. If it can't stay at the settings I put it at then what's the point? The stock kernel is 1.2 GHz and jbx keeps resetting to 1 ghz. So stock is a better option. Jbx boo
[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
Since none of the jbx users are facing the issue u mentioned, you must be doing something wrong. At some point, you must have used some other app for adjusting CPU parameters. Also, the CPU settings do not stick if you use any other app, other than trickster.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jdog1989:

[Motorola Atrix 2] shubham1120:
As far as I remember, there was oc capability upto 416mhz back in 4.2.2 jbx days. (or even early 4.3 days) now it can only be adjusted upto 384. But there's abysmal increase in performance in 384 vs 512 but with an increased (very much at that) power consumption. You can check benchmarks for galaxy nexus on 307 vs 384mhz vs 512 mhz.

Though this kernel is very good, I have decided not to use it due to one reason only that I get blank screen for at least 3-4 rings when we receive a call while the phone is in sleep mode. Rest the kernel is awesome. If this one issue is resolved, it will be great. Thanks.
