As above, nicki doesn't use open-source mpdecision, but proprietary binary one. It works, because it switches 2nd core on and off. It's up to you to decide how much, and if, you want to OC. You can always flash stock kernel without the capability to OC. However, OCing is perfectly safe as long as any thermal module controls the state, and this is done by mpdecision in nicki. CPU doesn't have any "fixed" frequencies. You can always force it to be faster - run on higher frequency, which will provide more voltage, and generate more heat for additional performance. In our case, this is perfect because you're not running on highest frequency whole the time, instead, governor turns it on when you need it, and turns it back off when you don't. OCing in this case should be similar to intel's "turboboost", which does THE SAME THING - increases frequency when temperature is low and OS needs additional performance to do something.

As said previously, OC is up to you. It is recommended, as I can't find any disadvantage of OCing, even without touching settings at all, while advantages are pretty huge, especially in smoothness.
[Sony Xperia M] para22:
Thanks for the answer. Trickstermod is for tuning kernel parameters for rooted phones.

If ticked mp-decision to on (which was previously off) and it stays on. Also, there is one multicore power saving option, wherein it selectively turns of core2 to conserve battery, although i'm not sure if that is a feature provided by mpdecision.

Ok then, i take your word for it and throttle my cpu to the max. even if that melts the cpu, it would give me an excuse buy a better phone :D

There is no point switching to the cm11 kernel as ArchiDroid kernel seems to be the most stable for this phone (only 1 reboot since i installed it, cm11 gave many freezes on lockscreen especially when deep sleep).

As a sidenote, System monitor lite application reports that the cpu has been in the following states for 02days03 hours:

deep sleep 71%, 384MHz 21%, 1.0GHz 7.4% (maximum frequency i've set). So it seems the governor is not switching to intermediatory frequencies. i'm tried using both interactive as well as ondemand. I/O scheduler is row with 1024 read ahead buffer. Also, while this might be a trivial question, whether there exists any perfomance comparison between various governors and schedulers for archidroid kernel?

Also, I'm not able to change GPU governor. mpdecision problem?

-------------------------------------------------

I'm not able to select network manually, which is quite helpful if the network coverage is weak. I think, this has been fixed in the latest cm11 nightly.

Thanks for all help.

[Sony Xperia M] para22:
Update: After a few days of usage

Hello all,

I've been using this rom for quite a few days now and it seems to be fit for daily use.

However, in addition to what was described earlier, here are my additional notes:

1. Battery use seems to be a bit on a higher side. I've the regular settings on (like google location reporting (required by google fit), google backup. According to GSAM battery monitor, battery consumption: apps:63%, screen 19%, phone 5%, wifi: 6%

In the apps section, top apps: kernel: 29% (!), android system 8.1%, google play services:6.3 %

Is it normal for kernel to consume 29%

Investigating further, On turning on show cpu usage option from developer options, it reports that

surfaceflinger (which i think is like X windows of android), system_server (i think the multitasking manager?), com.android.systemui (what the heck is this?, may be related to higher level of surfaceflinger ?), sh(why do we have shell running), mpdecision (finally, seen it here!) to be running most of the time. Rest all being kernel level processes like kworker etc.

Is it normal, or just me

2. Huge system lag, especially when phone wakes up from deep sleep state (eg, when a phone rings), occasionally, although i can verify the exact sequence of events.

3. Battery drain if i run cpu overclocked at 1.6GHz. It seems to consume way too much power. so i've temporarily put cpu@1 GHz as it is my primary phone.

4. Accelerometer problem which i described earlier, seems to persist even now. It seems that wrong drivers have been selected, or maybe something deep, i can't really comment.

5. Some form of "xperia battery stamina mode" could be quite welcome. I think cm12 has one too.

6. Can't find a way to get rid of Xposed installer (not supported on ART). Listed as system app, can't be uninstalled without brute methods.

7. Foldermount seems not to work (does it use mount/bind like workaround)

8. There are a few occasions where GPU is not used, even if i force it through developer options (which can be observed by selectively flashing screen update with a specific colour as per settings available from that menu). May be it is android 4.4 limitation.

Some problems seem to be related to cm11, which i can't report to the developer [MENTION=2522054]Pecan[/MENTION], as it seems, he/she accepts comments/criticisms from "senior" members :D

Will keep on updating as i keep on discovering, if that is of any help towards making the rom even more solid.

Cheers!
[Sony Xperia M] FrankHammer:
Morning bro

I'll try to answer some of your questions, although I'm not developer of this room, but I'll try to answer with my experience

1. You are questioning about com.android.systemui right? It is procs for your status bar and navigation bar, so don't worry about it

2. The battery drain when you are oc-ing to 1.6GHz it is drain as it should, as the voltage raise from normal state, it requires more power than the normal state, so if not necessary, don't turn the oc on

5. Try to use third party app, like 2x battery on play store, it's have a slight similar function to stamina mode

8. You may try the "Disable hw overlay" in the settings under developer options tab

That's all I can answer, correct me if I'm wrong :D

Hope you satisfied
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
1. If you're not actively using your phone, it's normal that kernel can consume a lot. Judging from the apps you listed, such as surfaceflinger, everything is normal. There is no need to worry.

2. Never experienced such, but this is because I'm using OC. On wakeup, phone needs to do some basic things, especially it needs to fulfill all apps that are listening for screen_on event, so the more apps you have, the longer wakeup there will be. OC helps dramatically in this regard.

3. This is normal, OC requires higher voltage. Usually it's better to tweak governor properly for your needs rather than limiting available frequency. Trust me, that Xperia M requires OC badly, if you don't like it due to battery drain, perhaps using conservative governor instead of ondemand is better idea than limiting max frequency back to stock one.

4. Either hardware issue, or device-based. Either way, you should check official CM by Pecan, if you can't reproduce it there, it's very likely that next version will fix it.

5. Lollipop has improved battery information, along with powersave mode, so it should be there in next AD.

6. You should be able to uninstall xposed directly from xposed APK, which comes preinstalled if you chose it in AROMA. Alternatively, you can always full wipe and untick xposed while flashing.

7. This is fixed in CM12.

8. Don't force GPU to be used. Android knows better than you what it should render with CPU, and what with GPU. This is hwcomposer's decision and forcing GPU may only cause excessive delay, increased battery usage, and worse performance. In general, you shouldn't touch developer settings if you're unsure whether your choice is proper or not.

Need help regarding CPU Governor control parameters

[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION], [MENTION=5825603]FrankHammer[/MENTION] Thanks for responding.

Manage Android Autostart App from Play Store lists applications according to events (and events requested by applications, including system events). On my system, it reports only Digital Clock application for both Screen On as well as screen off events. Although, I do have huge number of appications yet, there has got to be a way to make the lockscreen respond faster, especially during an incoming call.

I agree completely with you that our device needs overclocking. I've now put my phone to use conservative governor instead of interactive, which I used earlier, for both the cores.

According to apps like CPU Spy, my phone has used (max. freq 1024MHz)

1026MHz - 6.6%

486MHz - 1.6%

384MHz - 26.4%

Deep Sleep - 64.0%

Allother states - 1.4%

I think, other frequencies/voltage/battery life/cpu load etc need to be studied further for better optimisation under various conditions.

I will keep my kernell in the convervative governor mode(cpu0 &1 [MENTION=1247388]1.6[/MENTION]GHz) and report my findings.

Also, there are various settings available for governors in kernel tuning apps like trickstermod, kernel tuner etc, which i think are specific to the governor control algorithm in use for that particular kernel. I'm not really sure how those affect performance without going into the nitty-gritties of the algorithm.

I'll try to play around with those values and report how those affect performance/battery life for our phone.

I guess, there is no cm12 for xperia m dual C2004/C2005 (which i'm using) and since this rom is based on cm sources, perhaps no rom at all for my device in the forseeable future. I do not want to carry two monsters in my pocket, hence the dual sim solution.

I agree on that point. I guess there are some apps which do not call gpu functions through openGL, as i could observe.

As I do not have that much time and skills, I would rather not go in that arena.

On that note, i see that i can not change the governor for the GPU, is it controlled by mpdecision?

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

I think you need to first use the recreate link2sd script option from link2sd menu and reboot

This places some link2sd script in the init.d directory (a legacy from linux ?)

Then, you need to run relink library files, link dalvik cache, relink all options from the link2sd menu and then reboot. This will recreate links for all apps that were moved to sdext from /data/data etc, depending on what you decided to move there.

Hope this helps. Please report any other problems also, if possible to the developer of link2sd, as I think link2sd support is a little buggy and not fail safe.

Hope this helps.

(And for english, I think my english is badder than yours ;)
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
Actually AFAIK dual-sim support is not yet available in CM12 for Xperia M (by Pecan). AD is fully based on CM, it inherits all features and bugs from official release maintained by Pecan.

So good for you to stay on CM11 until proper support will be added, even if I release AD on CM12 before that.

Problem with archidroid 3.0.1.1 nicky

Hello,

I am very interested by your ROM and installed it on my Xperia M

just after installation, when configuring some parameters, i receive errors from google play service as soon as i am connected to internet, it says "application google play services has stopped" even before adding my google account. After configuration of the google account, the same error continue to appear regulary. So I disabled the google play service to avoid this messages. I had exactly the same issue with my previous ROM which was cyanogenmod11 nicky. A search on google for this problem give a lot of threads but the solutions proposed (clean data and cache) does not solve the problem for me. Any idea ?

Congratulations for the great work, archidroid is the best rom i ever seen

Place the downloaded ROM onto the sdcard.

1.Go to recovery.

2.Wipe the cache and data.

3.Go back and chose apply update or install zip from sdcard. (Depends on which cwm)

4.Browse to where you have placed the zip, flash the ROM. After flashing successful go back to the main menu.
