[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Wow, way to take something completely out of context and miss an entire point! I didn't even think this was possible. Impressive.

So firstly, I cited the camera as an example of something that relied on Samsung sources along with the exynos chipset (NOT CPU by the way, I haven't use the term CPU, so I guess you just decided to choose that term yourself). The sources are incomplete and the binaries, libs an patches provided are not enough to get everything running on the device as it should be. I, in know way stated or inferred that the camera was better on snapdragon S3's.

The point was we don't have everything in relation to the camera, ergo the camera is not as good as Samsungs. This is not because of the AOSP camera application. Instead it is down to a lack of documentation /sources for the camera HAL. It was a simple example explaining that if we haven't got everything required to run the hardware properly, we can't achieve the same performance. This is obvious with the camera and it's poorer quality images compared to the touchwiz camera using the very same hardware. This is not the case with just the camera though, this extends to all the hardware where we have incomplete information and sources.

It is true, with the SAME KERNEL on both platforms, power consumption is different (That's exactly what my post said). However, the dual purpose kernels are compiled from 2 sets of sources, so AOSP and Touchwiz platforms do not overlap 100% with each other (usage wise) in regards to what is compiled into these kernels. Touchwiz ROMs utilise (random guess number to illustrate a point) 90% of whats in the kernel as does AOSP. Meaning there could be a (fictitious) 10% of the kernel exclusively for each platform.

I didn't mention CPU power management. I did not say that the kernels on AOSP were any different at *managing* the power. Although thanks for bring that up... because now that you mention it, they are.

I don't understand how you can be so audacious to call my talking point childish when you've managed to avoid applying adult levels of reading to my entire post thus far and have taken every point I made conversely to how it was intended.

Say what now? If You're saying you think that custom kernels on a Sammy ROM are better than stock kernels on the same sammy rom for power consumption, you'd be right. I never said anything to the contrary of that. I said these custom kernels on a sammy rom are better that they are on an AOSP rom for power consumtion.

I really don't think you are managing to get any point you're trying to make across. You're not even arguing against the point I made. Surely a rebutal must directly address my points. You seem to be meandering aimlessly, taking pot shots at what you *think* is my point.

Again, I never said anything about information pertaining to power consumption being missing. My point is simple and basic, so here it is again. We do not have everything to run the hardware optimally. Whenever this is the case, performance suffers. If it is not running as originally intended because sources are missing to provide proper and full support, things are inefficient. Inefficiencies can lead to more power being used than is needed. That's all I was saying. You seem to be going out of your way to argue points I didn't even make, and not even graciously.
