[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
doesn't absolutely destroy your battery life??

I'm on the latest Null ROM and my battery life was absolutely amazing until I added a watchstyler widget.

I was ending a LONG day with over 50% battery left.

This morning I added a watchstyler widget and made no other changes at all. The thing has dropped to 47% in 3 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 440bro:
What's your brightness setting at?

Are the colors of the new face white or bright? Black makes battery last longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
brightness at 3 (same as its always been), watch face is black (rolex submariner)

I was running the stock weather clock (which I really like) until this morning. Looks like I'm going back to that as the battery life to me is far more important than a fake rolex face (although that face looks awesome)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] AstroDigital:
Stock weather, which I do not like does not update often enough and is never correct when I check is simple does not use graphics.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
I do wish I could get it to update a little more often, but once an hour is usually close enough in my area anyway.

The stock weather app is pretty ugly, but running it with the awesome Real Icon theme is absolutely beautiful.

I am definitely back to running that as my DD clock, the watchstyler had my watch at 12% battery by noon today. Yesterday at this time it was at something like 86% and still over 50% at dinner time.

Ok, been dying to ask this.

And then in relation to the known governors like Ondemand and Interactive for example.

A bit of info about Nightmare (credit to ming86)...

A modified PegasusQ, less aggressive (Which means not as good performance-wise), and doesn't usually hotplug. It is good for a balance between performance and battery life. May prevent the 'Screen of death' as well, since it doesn't hotplug.

Why does STweaks auto-install root on each reboot by default? Anyone flashing the kernel and running STweaks is rooted already, so what's the point?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freebee269:
i would like it if updating root and busybox was left up to the device's owner also, but it is dorimanx's kernel so he can do whatever he wants with it. as a developer he is not obligated to pacify the people choosing to use his kernel.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trav06:
Trickster reports the BusyBox installation as incomplete, and since the kernel auto-installs busybox on boot too I can't fix it. Seems like a lot happens on every boot that isn't necessary. I'm happy with the kernel, just wish some of those things were dialed back.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freebee269:
the reason trickster reports that is because dorimanx is using a modified busybox to get some things working with his kernel and trickster doesnt recognize it. he said in his thread that he has fixed that and will be with next release.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freebee269:
Honestly if you don't understand then you should stick with the stock kernel. Or stick with this kernels default settings. It's just safer to do till you can get a better understanding of what the settings do.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garywojdan81:
Google the respective governors & schedulers. They're not unique to this device and will generally operate the same across all the devices that support them. That's going to give you a better understanding than anything that the context of this thread will allow.

When you do feel confident enough to start playing with the settings, do a full back up first.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
You can categorize all the different governors in different types, ranging from "battery-friendly oriented , but maybe a bit slow" upto "performance oriented, but power hungry".

Conservative is for example battery-friendly, but some find it laggy.

Interactive is performance oriented, but does use a bit more power.

Intelliactive is a variation on interactive, with some intelligent tricks, to try and save power, but still performance oriented.

You get performance if the governor drives the cpu freq. to a higher value ; more speed.

So it looks pretty normal to me, that you will have a higher percentage of use on the higher freq's with intelliactive :)

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

Maybe the standard tuning dorimanx used, is a bit to performance oriented for your device ; every device can be just a slight bit different, due to variations in components ; If i'm not mistaken, qualcomm classifies his processors in 4 different bins ; all are ok, but due to difference in chip quality, each bin uses a different voltage table ; the higher the voltage table used, the more heat it may produce under heavy load...

If you know how, you can try and tune it differently...

EDIT: have you already tried ondemandplus ? It seems quite nicely balanced :)

What do you mean you don't have root? SuperSU can be autoinstalled, just go to STweaks and tick auto install in the root tab.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorimanx:
Well not true, people nagged that they dont want root to be auto installed on boot as all have root already.

So i have disabled auto root install on boot by default.

So kernel do not mess with root, not removing or installing.

If no root stweaks will not open. So you cant use stweaks to install root.

Kernel is not responsible for root changes any more.

Hello,

I'm using the latest version (2.6) with Faux SoundControl.

When I decrease the camcorder gain, It's decreasing the headset microphone, and not the camcorder mic.

Camera lag probably Stweaks fault

If you remember reports in dev and q&a section about camera lag upon closing when intellitemp is ON, now its gone by using trickster instead of STWEAKS to set intelliplug and intelli thermal ON. Tried it with 2.6. No more camera lags while intelli thermal or intellitemp ON. Unchecked the cpu tweaks and do not lad all settings on boot in stweaks so other app can take over. No more camera lag, and using intelliplug+intellithermal
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
You would have to reproduce this with 2.5 (or 2.5.1) to be sure it's stweaks related ; there were a few changes in 2.6 that could have an impact on this problem.

Governors 101

I saw plenty of posts on governors in dev thread.

EDIT: this post was/is not meant as a definitive guide. Still collecting info as seen in the text and other posts following. Once a bit more updated info is available on these governors I will repost with corrections.

For Dorimanx kernel, he suggested the use only of the more modern versions compatible with multicores.

Credit does not go to me for this info, and I might be slightly wrong too. Please someone correct if you know better.

A lot of online info is years old and probably not as up to date as it should be.

Below is ranked from battery lover to performance lover:

Alucard

: best for battery. Goes slowly to max freq, stays there longer if required.

Darkness

: alucard that goes very quickly to max freq but does not stay there long. Better for responsiveness and good for battery too.

Nightmare

: has the coolest name. I don't know much about this one. Good for performance without being battery unfriendly.

Ondemand

: this is the dorimanx ondemand, not the standard one. I think his current version is more balanced between performance and battery. The basics of ondemand is to scale freq based on need, so will boost freq if needed much more than alucard will. Probably the most tweaked/up to date governor in this kernel.

Intelliactive

: a better version of the interactive governor which is an ondemand on steroids, it will boost up very quickly on need but will stay there on timer. Freq will not fluctuate as much as ondemand. It is not a battery killer either because it is not a stupid governor, it will use other tricks to save battery.

I personally use intelliactive on core0, darkness on core1, alucard on cores2/3.

I wish I knew more about the dori ondemand and nightmare governors.

cores0 and 1 are the most used by far if you have alucardHP.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinchoska:
For me Alucard is more battery unfriendly.... Ondemand plus give me more battery.... Maybe i need to let Alucard set....
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Closed Force:

It seems like kernel came to the point of perfection (massive respect), so it feels natural to point discussion in that direction.

I'm using touchboost 4 cores 2.2hgz with long interval 600ms to imitate art, starting apps instantly. All cores alu slightly underclocked to compensate drain. Only dillema left for me is what io to choose, seems like sio acts better with this multitasking needs of mine.
