No problem pal. :)

That's a very logical way of thinking and I agree with you on this one.

Right now for example I have 4 open apps and my phone uses 1.29gb out of the 1.77gb available. Almost no recent app is getting killed and I couldn't be happier. :)

I'm using Imperium rom 7.1 version, no additional mods except the tweaked sysctl parameters and the tweaked kernel settings from STweaks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dr.wtf:
ok so its touchwiz. 1.29 sounds pretty average for touchwiz. theres plenty of space for more. also i never had the problem of closing recent apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
I wouldn't want more actually, I'm fairly happy with this result.

The main thing that concerned me was the killing of recent apps, something I took care of.

Anyway, answer me one last question and we should finish this conversation because I think it's no longer related to the kernel much.

Which rom are you on?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Its the opposite for me, but I still get it on 1.1.0, but not as frequently.

Googy, on KT, he has disable_hotplug_media and disable_hotplug_bt governor parameters.

Would it be possible for you to consider including such parameters in a future version of your kernel+STweaks, as I dont get a single drop-out on KT.

Thanks mate.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] zetazeta2:
Not 100% is this kernel related. Can someone confirm?

When you open latest Chrome with tab opened, but not yet any site loaded, and pull the statusbar halfway from up to middle, then push it back, the screen starts flashing for a while. Random screen flashing randomly. Running stock TW rom.

What's the better choice for battery life in hotplug mechanism? Mpdecision or auto-hotplug? I'm using Intellidemand/fiops.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] OmniSlyfer:
Hey [MENTION=1897326]googy_anas[/MENTION]

I don't know if you remember that a couple of days ago I've reported that interactive governor was probably broken because it was not stable with Antutu...

Well delete what I've said: I've resetted the settings to default, then I've tuned again the kernel exactly like before and... Now it's perfectly stable lol. Mystery or faith!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lucius1972:
I'm running Lionheart with Sio and autohotplug. Smooth and good battery for my findings. Still testing various combinations though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Shisma:
Thanks! I'm also trying different settings for good battery life, performance it's not a problem with this device. I have S4 only since 10 days.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] OmniSlyfer:
I should try Darkness governor + fiops scheduler + 512kb of read-ahead buffer + some UV (-37.5 for CPU and -50 for GPU is fine and stable for me) [emoji4] ... I don't know if it gives the best battery life, but GOD that smoothness! Every thing runs like butter and I also get a decent battery life (for sure better the stock firmware lol). You should give it a try. I've also downclocked the CPU to 1674Mhz for extra battery life, and the results are great. It also eliminate definitely the overheat problem ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lucius1972:
Thx for the info Bud. I know "Darkness" governor is a good one too, that's why i asked Googy to add it to his kernel ??

Sure will give youre setup a try.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Lionheart with zen and 1024 read ahead working great for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Read ahead at 1024 is not optimal, in fact for the internal sdcard values of 3072 or 4096 can be used, for external sdcards it's different.

How can i proof that what I just said is true?

I did some testing in the past (http://broodplank.net/?p=788) and these were my results.

Please note that these results are taking on a Samsung Galaxy S Plus with slower SDCard then S4, so this means the optimal readahead kb value for S4 can be even higher than 3072
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lucius1972:
Thx brood for your findings. Only problem is that googy only allows a Max read ahead of 2048.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
2048 Is the highest kernel settings let us go to, I wonder why read ahead is always set so low as default in most kernels (128) usually?

Will give it a go at max and see what happens, thanks for the tip brood :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
You're welcome, oh is that so? I think the 2048 barrier is just way too low for a device as new as this. Anyways, the difference between 2048 and higher won't be impressive, but there definitively is a difference in them for sure

Ah ok I see, the reason for the extremely low default readahead value is because it's then compatible with all SDCards, crappy ones and good ones, if the readahead cache size is too big for an sdcard it will black out (randomly) while the operating system (in this case Android) is running which will crash the system. so its all about FAIL SAFE settings. but these fail safe settings actually only apply for really crappy fake sdcards (mostly bought from china wholesale). other then that cranking up the internal sdcard readahead is only a good thing if you don't make the value too over the top.

128 = stock default (this has a sucky read speed guaranteed)

1024 = cm default (this is the point where it actually is optimized, but can be optimized more)

3072/4096 = advisable according to my tests. (best performance)

Attached 2 screenshots, first is 128kb second one is 4096kb

Difference is really impressive, see what the manufacturer gives you (40,7mbs write, 128mbs read), and see what you can actually get (93.4mbs write, 154,3mbs read)

In this case the write speed is the one who has increased the most

But the truth is, in linux based systems there actually are many ways to "boost" the performance of the disk, but none of them is a solid solution that always works. boosting readahead is the one that is the most reliable though (as far as you can call it reliable)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Interesting, I just did some tests myself using SD tools app, I found that 2048 seems to score consistently higher than 128 but SD sometimes 128 actually reports higher r/w I think there must be changes in the system that cause these anomalies but if you were testing 2048 at a time when 128 delivers a high score then 2048 would be delivering much higher.

Over an average though 2048 does seem faster.

I wonder how much faster it could be of the barrier were moved and we could go to the high read ahead values?

[MENTION=1897326]googy_anas[/MENTION] please could you see if you could open the limits up?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Yes this is why linux disk boosts are not as reliable as you might think, as I mentioned in my previous post. the results vary too much imo. which is why I done several tests for each readahead value in my spreadsheet and take the average value of that. But there are so many things in linux that affect the disk performance (dirty writeback, readahead, swapiness, io scheduler etc), that its almost impossible to get a stable result.

Overall 2048 will work better than 128, but sometimes 128 may score even higher than 2048

Raising the 2048 barrier to max (whatever that may be) will make some small performance increase, but only a small, since after a certain amount of readhead kb there is just no real gain anymore, only a lose, which is stability.

Long story short, linux systems are pretty complex when it comes to I/O speed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] qtwrk:
Manually edit /data/.googymax3/default.profile

To make it higher than 2048

What schedule you guys use on these high readahead?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lucius1972:
Hi qtwrk,

The for the tip, that would been my next step. I'm on ZEN btw. I also find BFQ a good one. [MENTION=3341220]broodplank[/MENTION], I wonder if raising the read ahead values would effect the battery consumption? I guess not but I'm curious.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
I don't know the best scheduler for high readahead values, but I assume noop, which is the least complex scheduler out there and should give the most stable results. ROW is also pretty good but not as stable I believe. the least stable of all schedulers is "vr" it has high speed peaks, but can drop to like 0 in a matter of seconds.

I have no experience with ZEN, but I do know that BFQ is made for Linux Servers. So I am not sure how good it actually will perform, maybe it's rock stable though! not sure about that.

And no a higher read ahead value will not affect battery consumption in any possible way.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] OmniSlyfer:
Am I the only one that feels better with 512kb of read ahead instead of higher values like 2048? Really I have no problems also using fiops scheduler... It's a smart governor created for flash disks, and it delivers a good balance between write and read speeds ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MatteoB92:
Some months ago I made some tests, personally I found 1536 as best value, but the nearest I believe is the most equilibrate for every kernel is exactly 2048

[17/07] Version 1.1.1 (TW / GE) :

- Updated to Linux 3.4.98

- arm: a lot of patches and tweaks (mm, kernel, cacheflush)

- zram is back due to massive demand (isn't it, [MENTION=4251861]qtwrk[/MENTION] ?)

- sched: disabled autogroup

- fs: removed f2fs support (who was using it ?)

- stweaks: raise storage read-ahead max possible value to 4096

Is there a way to save or export STweaks settings so that when you flash a new version you can just import them and don´t have to set them up again?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lucius1972:
Hi, just use root Explorer and navigatie to /data/googymax3 directory and copy the file "default.profile" to for example your external sd card.

Once you flashed a new version of googy, copy/paste/overwrite the file located in /data/googymax3.

Done!

That's how i do it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] qtwrk:
Yeah, I usually do it with my UV values

But please be careful, newer kernel may have different settings/structures than older version.

It may cause some problem.
