The default governor is set to Interactive right now, which isn't scaling properly at all. Once all of the kinks are worked out, you'll see better performance.

For now, what you'll need to do is change it from interactive to conservative in SetCPU with the drop down menu just below the slider. Then it will begin scaling properly. On the build I've got running right now, in which I've made no changes that would affect speed, I'm getting between 1010 and 1090 in Quadrant.

Sorry for this inconvenience, we will set conservative as the default in the next build if interactive's kinks aren't worked out.

I got SetCPU and did what you suggested and got a score of 1008

Any other recommended tweaks for this kernel or phone?

Thanks for the quick reply btw
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Just a word to the wise, you can get SetCPU from the G1 forums for free. The developer offers it for free to XDA members, but I still suggest you donate to the dev. It's a great app.

Well, my only advice is to avoid task killers. The way Android (and Linux) works doesn't play well with task killers. Other than that, just keep up-to-date with your ROM and kernel :)

is it my phone or does this kernel come with the old version of SU that doesn't support the clear log option. I recall the the last version i used dated on 10/5 with voodoo, had the option with the clear log.

Thanks for the great Kernel.

Great job Geniusdog, I'm installing tonight and we'll see how the battery life is tomorrow :-) Any update on the interactive governer?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Hmm. Have you changed ROMs since then? Cuz I haven't touched the SU binary since that version. That was actually the one that updated it I believe. I actually just tried it on my phone, with Epic Experience (the 10/10 version), and it works fine..

Well, we think we may know what the problem is: it isn't calling the idle code, and I think since it isn't calling that, it isn't starting its little loop to check/set the freqs, so it hangs at whatever freq you start it with. But I'm not sure where to fix that at. Devin, Nullghost, and myself are looking at it off and on. You guys will be the first to know if we get it ;)

I won't, because flipz did an excellent job of doing so a long time ago.

Startup Editors are fine as long as you're avoiding things that actually get used. For example, the DRM services are totally harmless to stop.

And an update on the interactive scheduler: I've found the bug and tried fixing it, but it causes a panic on boot for some reason. I'm looking into it still.

updating kernel?

one of my first posts, so pardon me if i unknowingly break some protocol, but i read the initial post a few times through and it is possible i missed it, but could you tell me how i would go about updating to the latest version of this kernel? do i just flash it on top of the previous version?

by the way, i love this kernel. it is the fastest and most stable one yet even better than baked goods kernel(even though i still use BG rom). i got better benchmarks running this one at 1.2ghz than baked goods at 1.3ghz, and MUCH more stable. thank you so much dev(s) this actually the first first kernel i tried and its the one ill keep coming back to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] t3k.wes:
The voodoo colorfix only modifies colors on 100% and 0% brightness correct? If so. Is there any way to remove these two levels from my phone? The voodoo colorfix looks fine on my friends' vibrants and captivate but my epic doesn't happen to be one of the phones that benefits from it. Also, my eyes much prefer cool colors to warm, and for how much time I spend looking at this thing I would love to have a way to make it more pleasurable for me to look at.

Btw, love the kernel. If I found another I liked nearly as much I would just switch as opposed to bothering you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Yes, I notice the same issue. Devs say that Voodoo is supposedly "fixed" at all brightness levels but the blue only really gets blue at 100% brightness. Anywhere between 0-100% colors on Voodoo look like crap. I was thinking to go back to Phoenix for this reason. Other than the colors, this updated kernel is very solid. Thanks Genius :) I still wish you would be updating the non-voodoo ROM, but I can see why it's very difficult to manage two branches like that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
I personally don't have a problem with the voodoo color... I wonder sometimes if some panels have different color characteristics.

I appreciate that the lowest brightness setting seems to be darker than stock. But I do want to ask:

Is it possible to make that lowest setting as dark as the original brightness hack?

That brightness hack is a blessing in the dark, so I just have to ask.

Thanks for your work on this kernel!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Another funny bug with Voodoo is that when you're in a browser or something and scroll, the screen turns a nasty yellow for a sec. This was on 25% brightness.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
That's an issue with the browser, not voodoo. It's a known issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdbag:
Is anyone else getting extremely hot phones as a result of the latest kernel? I charged my phone overnight only to wake up and find it hot and still charging at 66% after 7 hours. i had already calibrated the battery stats the night before.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I think there is a conflict there. I noticed while having SU in both places, that the Android System Process goes runaway. I deleted it from system/app and it fixed it for me after a reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vyralsurfer:
.config file?

I downloaded the latest GIT tree and am experementing with your kernel a bit - it's Linux, I can't help it :). Anyways, I was wondering if you'd be able to send or attach the latest .config file you used to successfully compile this kernel? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] fastmikey1969:
Battery Tweak Needed?

Just installed the latest kernel, calibrating my battery now.

Is the battery tweak from shabbypenguin needed in this kernel? Can they co-exist?

Battery Tweak Epic Edition RC1
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
The config used in my setup is arch/arm/configs/aries_rev02_defconfig

[Epic 4G Android Development] tibwolf:
After using this latest my phone has frozen twice in about 5 hours during what I am guessing are CPU-intensive processes (angry birds and quadrant)

Since I've only changed a few things lately, I believe the cause to be either the updated kernel, SetCPU (set to conservative), or the new widget TypoClock.

Ill be uninstalling the widget from my phone and hope these freezes were caused by that

Also, will battery conditioning somehow be affected by this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
I played Angry Birds for an hour today before my movie started and no lock up. But I'm using interactive. I use SetCPU with a 100-1200 spread.

I've also lasted 17 hours so far with heavy use. Four calls, three cumulative hours of Angry Birds, lots of Gtalk, XDA browsing and general web surfing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Actually, it isn't fixed at all levels. The tint is totally stock on every level but 100%. At 100% it's tweaked to a warmer tone, for truer color reproduction.

What original hack? I had the first lowered min brightness in an Epic kernel ;-) Anyway, I'm actually tweaking things now so I can set the minimum lower and not worry about dropping to that uber-dark level in normal conditions.

They should happily coexist, but I can't promise anything. I haven't looked at it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KL4V1CL3:
So far really diggin' the new kernel.

Haven't had a real chance to test battery life, I've been messing around to much with the phone to get any real accuracy.

I had 2 lock ups, had to do a battery pull, but possibly unrelated to the kernel. This of course interrupted the phone and reset the time unplugged, does this screw with the battery calibration if I had just reset it?

One small gripe that doesn't really matter: Regarding brightness, I can use the notification bar to go down to the darkest possible, but when the battery is low or when i use quick settings to turn the battery down, the screen actually gets brighter. So 0-7% brightness is brighter than 8%.

So far great rom! I've consistently used Mixup and it's by far my favorite.

Keep up the great work geniusdog and devin
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Had never noticed that brightness issue. I have interactive working now thanks to Devin. Also, I'll get the scripts included to run at boot for the Collin_PH/shabbypenguin battery tweak so you don't have to manually do it at boot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] atkailash:
Am I missing something, my battery life hasn't improved. With Tasker going (10min network only location checks) and about 45min of browsing (some of which was on 4g), gps off except for about 45 min (with foursquare beingused twice briefly)and juice defender running while in class for 1.5hrs, about 5 texts and 1 5min call, in a little under 5hrs I'm at 37% battery. Some use was outside so the screen got real bright to compensate for sun, but that was brief.

Am I just using it more than I realize, cause other, similar reports seem to get more. I flashed the latest one last night, and cycled the battery today (kept off whilst charging)

Setcpu is set to ondemand 100-1.2ghz
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Ondemand is a battery hog. Try conservative, with the tweaks we have in it it should be nearly as fast as ondemand. Next version has interactive fixed and set as default as well for better battery
[Epic 4G Android Development] atkailash:
Thanks, I just switched it, recharging now so we'll see tomorrow how it all works.

The speed though is bangin, definitely glad I updated from my Hero
[Epic 4G Android Development] optmsprim2:
Hey everyone! First of all, fantastic job, genius! love the kernel, been using it since the start (on my first android phone at that). Just one issue I've been having however. I just updated to the latest kernel today at like 3 AM and started with the whole battery training regimen. Topped it off, reset battery stats and I've been working on draining it all day (about 19 hours at this point, hooray!). Anyways, this morning while the battery was still pretty high (80-90ish percent) the phone was working flawlessly as it has since i got it, downloaded a few podcasts, light browsing, updated a few apps. I didn't really try and do anything intensive until about 60% today but I noticed anything with data was either extremely slow or came with no network connection errors. I looked at the phone info with that dialer code and see that my phone is constantly going back and forth between EvDO Rev. A and 1xRTT, like maybe 10-20 seconds between shifting back and forth. I've never had this issue before and didn't know if it would be kernel related, or I screwed up my phone or what. Thanks for any help and thanks for all your hard work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Hmm, I had never noticed that. My phone has always periodically jumped between them, but not consistently and that often.. I always assumed it was just my signal, but I have seen it sense before I even rooted, and on my Evo as well. If you didn't say it before, I recommend you try the Phoenix kernel (nullghost & I are pals, its good work) and see if it still gives you that. Before that though, try and reboot. Seems simple, but you'd be amazed how many problems that can fix :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] optmsprim2:
Thanks for the super-fast reply! I did try and reboot the phone a couple of times to no avail. However I went ahead and just re-flashed your latest kernel again and it seems to be doing better. Who knows? Maybe it was some random network stuff happening over here, but I've had a solid signal since doing so for about an hour. One last question (since I'm new and you're so helpful) do I need to redo the battery conditioning since I reflashed at like 25%?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
As long as you didnt wipe data or battery stats once you refashed, you should be fine
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
Yeah, I was having data issues earlier too. Slow and intermittent. It would give random page load errors.

I did 3 Speedtests with MixUp, and got 5/55, 0/0, and 39/67. Even tried going into Airplane mode and back out, or rebooting, no dice.

Then I flashed to Phoenix 1.48, and got amazing speeds on some Speedtest runs. 792/785, 1164/638.

Those were the fastest speeds I've ever gotten on the Epic 4G! I don't think I've ever hit over 600. Ever.

For now I think I'll float with Phoenix. The data speeds have been the largest issue for the Epic to me. If you need me to do some debug dumps to help figure this out, let me know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Coucher:
Hopefully the battery life gets better after a few cycles.. So far it "seems" worse with the most recent release vs the previous one.

I reset the battery statistic via Clockwork on a fully charged battery, flashed, calibrated/conditioned the battery (drained to 0, full charge after). Phone has been off the charger for a little over an hour now with zero usage and it's already down to 90%. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
While a little extra battery drain (like, seriously, MINIMAL) could possibly occur with Interactive, that's a lot of drain. What is your set up?

You guys get some awfully strange errors.... These are my results:

I'm having a different issue than I've seen mentioned with this kernel. My phone disconnecting calls after a couple of minutes on a call. It just disconnects. I'm on the final stage of the calibration(It took me a full 26 hours to discharge). I'm charging the phone back up to full now. I'll report back once fully charged with how my phone is acting.

Thx
[Epic 4G Android Development] Coucher:
Stock ROM, rooted, D18, SetCPU set to 200/1200 conservative.

Haven't touched the phone since this morning, been off the charger for about 3½ hours now and down to 80%.

I seemed to get a little better life than this with the previous kernel. I'm going to keep an eye on it, but if it doesn't improve over the next few days or after calibrating the battery again, I may just go back to the previous release.

Either way, thanks for continuing to work on improving stuff for us phone addicts.:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Sounds like a ROM issue to me. What ROM are you on? I get a few weird errors with the dialer on my ROM, too... Like, the music player comes up when I end a call for some reason...

Jokeyrim root? If you have those files still, they could be causing issues. Use the steps in the OP to remove them.

Are you using JuiceDefender or anything? Do you stop the DRM files with a startup manager? Do the airplane mode trick to fix the TWS bug? I do all of this and I got a 29 hours before my phone died (with a lot of use).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Coucher:
noobnl's root, I am using JuiceDefender, I stop the DRM files/services with a startup manager, I do not do the airplane mode toggle, but my current TWS since a reboot this morning is only 3%.

Screen brightness is set to one click up from the super dark minimum that was in the next to last release, 30sec timeout

4hrs now, at 68%.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
noobnl's method IS the jokeyrim method. This kernel has root built in, those files aren't needed anyway.

Auto brightness should actually treat you better with this kernel. Been my experience with this, anyway. Each case is different.

Your JuiceDefender settings are the same as mine, except I have night time settings. But that wouldn't make a difference.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Coucher:
While confirming my JuiceDefender settings I noticed that in the status/notification tray over the data icon it said "error".:confused: Not sure what that was about but I couldn't get it to clear so I uninstalled and reinstalled JuiceDefender and it's back to normal now. I don't "think" that could/would have caused any abnormal drain, but who knows. I'll continue to monitor it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Coucher:
:o

Wasn't aware of that. I don't have a cable with me here at work, but I'll use the steps on page one to remove the files when I get home just to eliminate one possible thing.

Most/all of the Android/Linux stuff is new to me so I apologize for any redundant questions.

All the help is truly appreciated. I'm not one of these types who will bash something (that is free to begin with) just because I all of a sudden have a one-off abnormal experience. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Would explain abnormal drain, but it would explain why you weren't saving more :p

No worries :) Feel free to PM, too, if you need any more help. I usually am able to get back within 24 hours.

One small request if its not too much work on your part. The SU that installs from teh kernel is an older version that doesn't support the clear log option, would be awesome if you can include that in your future update. Thanks for the great kernel and work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Check a few pages back. I think around 83 or 84. It is a problem with some ROMs installing a second SU binary.
