[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I'll see about it. I haven't been too keen on pushing past 1.2, since my phone isn't stable even at 1.4, but I may add this as an option if I deem it stable enough. Or anything past 1.2, even if not necessarily 1.6.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
What I'm understanding is that its the voltage tables that cause are phones to be unstable. How about bumping up the voltage tables and forget about battery savings for extreme power.

Sent from my Emotionless Beast of an Epic using the XDA App
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Well, it's not quite that simple. The voltages I'm using are totally safe. I'll look into OC'ing further, but I'm not totally sure. I just made some more tweaks to the voltage tables, and I broke some things taking it too low ;) but I fixed it all, and I'll keep tweaking.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Yes your tables are safe for running a max of 1.2ghz. But higher speeds need more power.

I'm gonna explain this the best way I can. I do high end audio systems in cars. IO can't build a 2,000 watt system and only feed it enuff power for 500 watts. I'll be blowing fuses all over the place. If I some how magically got it to run it run would run like **** and be pointless

Sent from my Emotionless Beast of an Epic using the XDA App
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Well of course, but at the same time pumping more voltage != actually allowing it to run higher. Most phones can't support 1.4, just because of the extra heat. I would love to go higher, but I'm not sure about how stable it could be.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Can't you set shan't penguins battery mod in your kernel making three phone scale down one it reaches a certain temp. This can also be done with set cpu profiles. Couldn't you incorporate any of this in your kernel for those speeds

Sent from my Emotionless Beast of an Epic using the XDA App
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Yes, I could. But that won't solve the issue. The problem is, it gets really hot, and then it just CRAWLS. So just as soon as it scales up, it slows down. In that case, it doesn't matter that the OC is there since it is so unstable. This is my experience with 1.4Ghz in the past.

Upping the voltage isn't an issue. According to the Samsung source, it's safe to push it up to 1.5V, and the max right now for 1.2Ghz is 1.3V. So there's plenty of room to up it more. I'll just have to see.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Just wanted to drop in and say awesome work again on this kernel!! All is well for me.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Idk **** about kernel building and I will leave that up 2 you. All I can do us bounce of theorys but I'm sure you already thought of everything. The phone us pretty stable at 1.2ghz for every day use and you did a great job with that. That extra .4ghz isn't probably need except for gloating how big are phones dicks are

[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
I agree on this for sure....this phone is a beast and even more beastly with this great work....
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
I guess I just dont understand the need to overclock to 1.6. Nothing out there right now even comes close to taxing the CPU/GPU of this phone that I have used, other than benchmarks. Developers can't release games that would tax this processor/gpu because it would be non functional on other phones. Is it a pissing contest kinda thing about who can get higher quadrant scores or is there some amazing ultimate application that I am simply not using that needs the bump?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
It's entirely a pissing contest :P

It's great for benchmarks, and it just improves speed all around, even if it is already like lightning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Forcystos:
I'm not asking for a separate build to tend to my whim, hence why I said "make it optional" and "if possible". I'm pretty sure there should be a way, like writing a value to /sys or having a file with a value somewhere.

battery life terrible..! help!

So I flashed aphosis and this kernel and my battery life has gotten worse than the stock rom/kernel which I thought was impossible! If someone could help that would be great, I assume I screwed something up...

- flashed clockwork

- wiped data/cache 3x

- flashed aphosis

- flashed mixup (no voodoo)

- calibrated battery by letting it charge to 100% and then wipeing battery stats in clockwork and then letting it drain to 0% and then re-charging up to 100%.

Since I did all this my battery goes down about 20% per hour. I use push gmail and exchange email but thats it. No wifi, gps, 4g, brightness at 0 and no widgets or other applications refreshing in background.

Please help!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Coucher:
For whatever reason my phone is not liking the most recent release (20101024).

Even after calibrating the battery, and removing leftover root files (that I didn't realize were there) battery life took a nose dive.

Just to try another thing I even flashed from my previous stock rom, to Epic Experience and did the battery calibration again.

So far today, 2hrs30mins off the charger and down to 74%. :(

I just flashed back to the previous release (20101017-855) which seemed to be better than the most recent when I was running it before and will see over the next day or two how it does.

I'm open to further suggestions..

Either way, I'm still thankful for the devs putting out a great kernel (with frequent updates) even if the most recent one didn't work out great for me for whatever unknown reason.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
We've got a theory as to why battery life has been decreasing for some user. Android is a weird beast and it doesn't always play well across the board. I've got the exact same set up you describe (well, a newer version that DOES have a little bit of tweaks for battery, but not much... I guess anything is anything.) and I'm getting great battery life, but it's spread wide enough that it's obviously not something that you're doing.

We'll get this fixed as soon as we can.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Coucher:
As always, thanks for being so attentive to supporting the releases and the experiences users are having.

I was/am happy with the previous release, so I wasn't trying to bash the most recent one, simply giving feedback to help you guys continue to put out a great kernel.

If anything, troubleshooting this a bit let me not only discover about those left over root files to remove, and finally bite the bullet and try a rom.

Thanks! :D

[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
I notice when running any of the kernels sometimes battery is awesome one day and next day horrible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
The newer kernels install Superuser.apk to system/app. Make sure you don't have it installed in data/app also, or you will get runaway system processes every other boot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rafal2006:
ok im rooted ,rom manager v2.5.0.4 why stock recovery
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
Wow.. Metallic good job helping me! You we're right had superuser installed in data and system.

I also noticed a few more duplicates. Should I delete dupicates from data as well?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
What other duplicates do you have?
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
Just musicplayer.apk. Thought I had more but that is it. Once again thank you very much, already see huge improvement. Sometimes I only get 2-3 hours with medium-HEAVY USE. ALREADY ON 2 hours with full charge still after heavy use.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
No problem. Remember to make sure that when you flash a new ROM, that it doesn't install Superuser to data/app. Also, don't download or update Superuser from the Market, or it will install to data/app and you will have to delete it again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] decalex:
Ya, thanks man. Just wondering-- I had superuser (i think com.noshufou.apk.. superuser from the market, in data/app). Should I remove that one or the one installed by kernel in system/app? Or does it matter?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
The one on /data. The one in /system/app is reinstalled every boot
[Epic 4G Android Development] tommi_han:
Are we not suppose to have any apks from data/app matching those in system/app?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
if a market app has been installed to system from a rom, once its been updated the new version runs from data, u can leave both there it wont hurt anything, but i would assume deleting the one in data would be like uninstalling updates, pushing u back to whatever version was added to the roms system directory
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Superuser.apk is the only one I know to cause problems when installed to both data and system.
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
thanks for the everyone (mattallica). Extreme battery life now, over 32 hours on last charge with heavy gaming use. I do have the market superuser and system superuser as well. Will remove one of them and see what happens.

Oh ya, currently using, bakedsnack rom and kernel. I change kernels back and forth to mixedup often. Testing differences. Bakedsnack is definately faster and everything runs silk smooth. Mixedup has better battery and signals seems to drop less. Both are stable for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ippikiokami:
32 hours with gaming??

could you tell me your settings? I am happy to get a waking hours days worth with just casual use.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Forcystos:
Unfortunately, battery has certainly been bad for me with both this and the previous version. Right now, the phone has been unplugged for 2 hours with little to no usage and is at 80%. I calibrated the battery, and even have background data completely disabled. I only use WiFi while plugged in, and signal in these parts is always good to excellent. Playing Angry Birds for an hour after unplugging from 100% will leave it at about 30%. Charging it at that point, playing for another hour, and unplugging it again will make it as if it was never charged. The only times I get "good" battery is when it is completely idle in my pocket, with which I can get like 12 hours with 50%.

Forgot to mention I don't even use SetCPU, so the phone is naturally at 1Ghz max with default governor.

What do I need to get it all set up?

Lastly how do I calibrate the battery??

Thanks for the help.

See change log in original post of this thread-- gives the calibration instructions

er.. here:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slvrshot:
I hit battery stat reset in clockwork and it doesn't appear that it did anything. It just returned to the original screen.

How can I tell if it worked?

This project IS NOT dead, just so y'all know. It may not have been quite as active lately, but good stuff is coming :)

The codename for the next revision, you ask? "Taco Madness"

Things I'm looking at include: More light tweaks. It's getting there.

Camera tweaks, if I can find any more

Implementing Voodoo Sound for EQ control from command line and support for the GUI if/when Supercurio finishes the app for it

Possibly volume tweaks, I found the code I just gotta figure it out

Remove the 100Mhz cpu step since it causes issues.

And anything else I find/think of
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Awesome. Will this allow for the speakerphone to not sound like a squawking bird when someone is speaking semi loudly?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
yes yes yes..............sound tweaks!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
Oh man... you've got me drooling.

The one and only thing I miss terribly from my WM Omnia is SRS/WOW. I've been able to find a solution for everything else.

Sound volume on the Epic can be really weak sometimes, especially when watching a video with AC3 audio. Being able to boost/preamp volume on a system-wide basis would be a huge benefit in itself. An EQ too? Don't tease me like that, man!

The ultimate would be a port of the SRS/WOW enhancement, especially the WM driver and cpl applet. THAT is some serious sound improvement.

I'll donate again for some good sound improvements. You go, Dog!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Follow @Supercurio on Twitter for more details as they come, he's the one doing Project-VooDoo, I just port it to the Epic and whatnot.

VooDoo Sound link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806195

The configuration is a bit difficult at times, and I'll leave it up to the user to tweak to their design, but I will have it there. And I can probably boost the system wide volume for the phone speaker, which is my main goal for outside of VooDoo Sound.

Ok don't bite my head off but i just read the first 20 something pages & then jumped up to 10/24/2010 & to the end (hear) No one really answered this:confused:

If i have rooted with "One click root for the Epic v2.3.0" by noobnl should i remove it with the uninstaller from hear http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770388 first & then go back in clockwork & flash the kernel?

And will that uninstaller take care of any superuser conflicts?

Stock DI18 ROM & KERNEL with Mobile AP mod from i9000 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756804 )

I'am looking forward to the USB tethering. Hows its working out?

The USB is the main reason i'm flashing this don't get me wrong all the other parts of the Kernel sound grate to;)

Still getting the hing of the hole android stuff its my first android phone & i'm vary happy with it so far. I have heard vary good thing about this Kernel from a friend.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
I am going to ask a dumb question, I know I am. I think I am having the same issues, so how can I check this and remove it if its there? I don't really mess with the shell after I root, well mostly because everything I do from that moment on is flashing the .zip in cwm.

I am looking for the info, but figured I would pose the question too, as you guys seem like you would be able to know it like the back of your hands.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ipaq3115:
If you install it from the market it gets installed in data/app. Best way to make sure it's not there is to get Root Explorer from the market (well worth the $0.99) and from there you can go to data/app and make sure it's not there. Not exactly sure what the filename would be but it would have superuser in it. Or you could use a terminal emulator from the market and enter these commands to see if it's there.

su
cd /data/app/
ls

Should see a list of everything that is in there. If you don't see superuser you should be good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
Thanks, doesn't look like it is installed. I just seem to have one day great battery life, the next it sucks again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ipaq3115:
Strange, did you kill the drm stuff? That's a big battery drain too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:

I'm also on stock but only because I like Sprint TV and Sprint Football.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
Is there a thread that details the tool(s) and setup/procedure for doing this, to help us noobs who've searched and come up empty-handed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slvrshot:
I went ahead and switch to the phoenix kernel. I am in the process of calibrating the battery and already I see a substantial increase in battery life. I have had a live wallpaper running with a 30 minute timeout on maximum brightness, while playing Angry birds and music since 7:30 AM....it's now 1:00 pm and the phone is still on at 1%. Very impressed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
So with this kernel installed, can you change the processor speed? If so how do you get to it or do you have to install setcpu?

[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Hey Geniusdog, I always seem to lose the "remount rw" script when I flash this kernel, anyway you could fix that for the next release? Thanks man!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I'll give it a shot. That one was broken before. I think it was a path error that's now fixed, but when it was broken I added two other scripts. Try remountrw for R/W and remountro for R/O.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flopez76:
I love this kernel, keep up the good work. Can't wait for the next update
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Juicedefender helps a bunch. Also making sure your TWS is low and the DRM services aren't running is key. I can get anywhere from 6-36 hours on a charge now. Really depends on how much you use the phone. The only way to really compare to each other is to leave the phone sitting for 3-4 hours and let it drain. Doing this, you can compare your setup to everyone elses phone without any variables. Using a program like Juiceplotter, which is a addon to juicedefender, you can map how much your battery drained during this idle time. When I do this, I lose under 1% an hour and the graph is pretty much absolutely flat.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Hey guys, sorry to let ya down again, but I ran into some uber-weird lockup issues with this latest one at totally normal freqs. I'll get them ironed out.

[Epic 4G Android Development] byersbw:
So i'm glad that people much smarter than me are working on this! I'm running the stock ROM with this Kernal and rooted with one-click root 2.3.0 and SU access, and setCPU scaling ondemand 1200max x 200min.

However, since flashing MixUp-20101024-847, when I'm sitting in the dark the brightness keeps going bright, then dim, then bright... etc. I'm assuming this is due to the Voodoo. Is anyone else having this issue? I do have my auto brightness turned on and could turn it off i guess but it's nice to not have to screw with it.

Thanks for all of your hard work!

[Epic 4G Android Development] flopez76:
Will we see an update tonight?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Unfortunately no. I narrowed down the problem to the interactive governor, and I've been swamped with school this week so i don't have time to fix it, so I'll just drop interactive as default tomorrow night and release. Other than that everything seems stable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Just a quick Question/poll i guess

What setCPU setting/profiles are you all using & what do/don't you like?

I have overclocked PCs for years but setCPUs scaling is a little new to me & trying to figure out whats working best takes a day depending on how i'm using the phone. (Battery wise)

I hope this is not taken as a high jacking of the thread cuz i'm just wondering & have been using the kernel for a week or so.

Geniusdog Nice work i like it:cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] twolostminds:
My first impressions with this kernel...

About a 10 - 15% increase in battery life

SetCPU set to 200 - 1200 with no problems

With screen brightness set to automatic it is slightly too dark when viewing outside at night. Anyway to tweak this automatic setting?

Overall, I like it. Great job :) :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ipaq3115:
Hey GeniusDog, I was looking through old stuff and I saw you mentioned adding netfilter support awhile ago. Did you ever get around to adding it? If not are you still planning to?

The reason I ask is that I've had problems with the new version of Wireless Tether that doesn't require netfilter not serving out internet right to my computer, where it works flawlessly on my old Hero.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Even stock Samsung kernels have netfilter enabled. It's been enabled since day one. I had been talking about adding RNDIS support, which has been added for a while.

Also, I will be updating MixUp tonight. I finally got a night free, so I'll push an update out ASAP.
