Hi!

I have same problem, I searched at all afternoon for an app, what can disable it, but ineffectually...One I found, the FroyoMailUnlocker program does't work, ERROR, ERROR, ERROR, permission denied at the Email.apk file...

Have anyone an idea, for disable it??

I updated my SGS from 2.1 to 2.2 yesterday, and before this it isn't ask for a pin/password under 2.1.

Thanks!

So, is seeing ksoftirqd in step 9 bad?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhoffy22:
It depends what percentage of CPU it is using; in my experience it had been 20+ percent every time when I had the problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
Is this good or bad? I would guess bad if i'm reading it right.

Changed Screen Shot. Keyboard was hiding results
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tiffany84:
Try exiting out and then do it again. Mine showed up but still showed ksoft.
[EVO 4G Android Development] flam253:
when you say incredible battery life...how many hours are we talking about
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Using this with SetCPU = fail?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhoffy22:
Yes, do not use this with SetCPU. It is unnecessary and will cause conflict as both are going to be scaling your CPU.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
I just uninstalled, followed directions to the T again with netarchies no havs, this time 37%. Hmmm not working for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhoffy22:
It will be different for everyone based on usage, quality of service in your area(how hard your phone is working to give you good service), and a number of other things. I can't tell you exactly how many hours but I can tell you this...after configuring this battery tweak correctly, battery life has nearly doubled. It's only been one day, but to this point I am extremely satisfied and never looking back. I will report further on this in the future and provide screen shots of my battery usage and Juice Plotter graphs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhoffy22:
What ROM are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JaiCameron:
OK for clarity are we suppose to have one of those kernels installed before following the instructions or only during step 5?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhoffy22:
It doesn't matter what kernel you have originally, just make sure that before you flash the battery tweak you have it completely disabled and removed and use one of the two suggested kernels when you reflash the tweak.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JaiCameron:
Im getting "batt-cfg: not found"
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhoffy22:
You must not have the battery tweak flashed. You need to go to the forum and find the original thread of the collin_ph battery tweak and get the zip file and flash that separately and after flashing the kernel.

Sorry, this was a quick write up and I left out some information for people who weren't familiar with what the battery tweak is exactly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tiffany84:
Mine still shows ksoft.
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
heres the post to the updated one FOR THE ERIS, NOT the evo, BUT it has more features, and the creator is in the thread, lots of info about different settings, how things work and so on..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784089

i think i found out all the bugs from this tweak, there may be more, but i think through about a week and a half through my own trial and error, ive found out everything and whats going on. If working correctly (NO KSOFT), you can achieve great battery life.

hopefully the coder from that thread will update the battery tweak we use to include the temperature mod, since my phone overheats and could really benefit from that feature.

if you wanna be more customized, i recommend choosing option 3 and setting it up your way.

heres what i set.

i left it on underclock

i left the governor alone

i also chose deadline instead of noop.

Min cpu- 245000

max cpu 768000

for polling, instead of 60, i used 120 and instead of 15 i used 30,

then when it gets to cpu usage when battery is low, i choose 28 instead of 33.

you can change these numbers to your choosing, but with these above, i noticed no performance issues and everything seemed normal, just with extra battery life.

but with all our heads together, we can work everything out and get this tweak perfect...

Not working. Myn 2.2 netarchy noHAVS kernel. Showing 28% k...irq
[EVO 4G Android Development] JaiCameron:
What % should cpu be at to determine if the tweak works or not?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhoffy22:
Go into terminal, run "top -m 5 -n 1" (without the quotes) and if you system says anything more than 20% the tweak is not working correctly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 74excel:
tried that...

here is the screenshot.

Cant get top -m 5 -n 1 to work!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] NinjaPenguin:
Have done some testing today. Here are some results with different kernals and the tweak.

Ziggy Evo Kernal 28th - Got Flush at 95 percent, phone sluggish, didn't work. Not sure if this kernal is HAVS

Net 4.2 Smartass NOHAVS - this time 2 flush processes at 40 each, phone really unresponsive. Probably due to governor.

Net 4.2 Smartass CFS Havs - Flush at 100 percent. Phone froze.

Net 4.1.9.1 No Havs - No flush, system seems responsive

Just a heads up if anybody wanted to try those. Yes, I have been wiping dalvik each time and cache. Definately doesn't work with HAVS at all
[EVO 4G Android Development] bjbrickley:
I tried net 4.2 nohavs and had two flush processes. Now im using 4.1.9.1, before I used the tweak there was no sign of ksoftirq, now after i ran the tweak, ksoft is 20-30%, but what's odd is the battery seems to be going down slower when its idleing...
[EVO 4G Android Development] NinjaPenguin:
Well yeah, you will have that process. GIve it some time for your system to level out. You have to let the system process everything and start other processes before you will see that drop. Soon enough the tweak will work, mine started at 37 percent and dropped to about 15 within a few hours.
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
Good work buddy

my guess is netarchy probably applied his own tweaks on 4.2's
[EVO 4G Android Development] NinjaPenguin:
I think it has something to do with his tweaked governor. I didn't use SetCPU to change governor to anything else then try the tweak, just left it as is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scriptx:
Similar issue on my device. 'which top' returned /data/data/com/magicandroidapps.bettertermpro/bin/top.

Instead, you need to execute /system/bin/top: /system/bin/top -m 5 -n 1
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
One thing I noticed using this battery tweak, and 4.2 kernel is that 4.2 kernel does have lower battery usage monitored via currentwidget when idle. Lowest mA I saw using the tweak was 50mA while the kernel I use on my sig had 25mA. I decided to go with the one I'm on now because it had better performance on quadrant bench when unplugged/running on battery. When it was plugged, one with battery tweak was faster according to the bench.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bjbrickley:
I found out that app is called OS Monitor.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bjbrickley:
But why did I never see ksoftirq until I flashed the tweak, I thought I high % of ksoftirq was the problem I never saw it before the tweak, and now that I flashed the tweak, I see it 20+%
[EVO 4G Android Development] DualSportDad:
so is this something i should try to get better battery life? i show no ksoft right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Djspinister:
HAHA - QFT!
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
Ksoft is the tweak, which means you definitely want to see It's process there. Read up on the thread before you ask the same question that was asked multiple times.
[EVO 4G Android Development] biassj:
Notice with Net's 4.1.9.1 no havs kernel the cpu frequency table is screwed up. My cpu sits at max all the time. Under custom settings you can't see a cpu frequency list when it prompts for min and maximum.

Side Note: Was reading the hero cdma forum, they say it's a bug. Cpu adjusts perfect on stock HTC kernal #10.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Djspinister:
That is amazing mA bro, do you mind releasing some of your settings because the lowest I can get is in the 150's.... 50 would even be satisfying for me! TIA
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
My setting is nothing crazy. I try not to run any crap that runs in back ground too much. I simply run currentwidget to monitor voltage every minute or so.

Brightness at about 30%, haptic off, vibrate off. Oh and auto sync google and weather. Don't use facebook/friends though.

As for seeing low mA, you should definately give kernels some time to settle in.

I reflashed back to the kernel on my sig and haven't seen lower than 50mA, and just decided to give the bfg version of it just now x).

Whatever kernel you are on right now, definately give it a couple of days, and move on if you dont like it.

Achilles, check out my other thread in the Q&A section. I'm working on getting an official kernel testing thread stickied as a resource for everyone. Would appreciate your participation if you wish. Post your results. Here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827311
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
Sure I'll check it out. Good nite.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NinjaPenguin:
Achilles or JHoffy, have either of you tried Kings new BFS 11? In the notes he says he went back to SVS and removed HAVS. Maybe that will work with the tweak. His kernels have always given me good battery life. I'll test it tomorrow when my phone isn't at 7 percent life : /
[EVO 4G Android Development] DualSportDad:
thanks. i read to page nine and then skipped around others...never found the answer.

ps.... on Ziggy's 10-28 kernel i was seeing only 25ma at idle, on nets 4.2 bfs with hvas and now at 90ma :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] knarfl1:
OSMonitor.
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
Try it out for least a day or 2. I flashed bfs last night and seeing 26ma(yes, 26, not 25 like other kernels I've tried) very often on idle.
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
I've tried old kings, but netarchy's gave me more battery life so didn't really look back after trying net's 4.19's.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NinjaPenguin:
I had to switch from Net's 4.1.9 and 4.2. Maybe it was just me and my 002 hardware revision but when it was idle the battery would lose maybe 5 percent in an hour. However, soon as the screen was on, even if i was just flipping between the home screens not texting, gaming, web browsing, or facebook, i noticed it would go down a percent every 30 seconds about and just have huge drain.
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
How long did you try it out for? I think you should give it atleast a couple of days to see what it really can do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NinjaPenguin:
I give every rom and kernel a minimum of 4 days (minus when i was testing out the tweak to see if it worked with the kernel. If you see a flush right away, its not working). I always have it cycle a few times. I think there is something more to the evo and kernels than what is lead on. I think it may have something to do with hardware revisions as well. I can't be too sure though
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
Yah, I've read there are people having problem in netarchy's thread where the guy has 2 Evo's and one having problems while other didn't.

My hardware version accoring to settings is 003, but shows revision 2 in some of the apps from the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhoffy22:
I've tried both CFS 11 and BFS 11 on Myn's 2.2. CFS 11 left my phone feeling very laggy and just not smooth at all. BFS was better in that aspect but the battery life was nothing to hound about.
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
Not impressed with battery life with bfs so far but I flashed it around midnight last night so I'll wait and see.

It did give me highest bench out of kernels I've tried so far though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhoffy22:
I am a former CM6 Snap 7.6& Turbo user and even though I was benchmarking at 2,650....I really couldn't tell a difference as far at the performance that I was experiencing. With the smoothness and everything anyways.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
I'm still having issues with this working on and off, using King's #11, net 4.1.9.1, Ziggy 28...all same problems.

I'll have it work on and off, then a while after I seem to have it working, my CPU will suddenly throttle to 1 step below max and stay there. I can do anything with apps trying to max it out but it doesn't even reach the max...always one step below.

I tried using OSMonitor to see if even SetCPU was effecting settings though I was only using to monitor...same issues.

This tweak once worked for me, but I just can't get it stable anymore.

I'm wondering if some of the HTC APK's may be effecting this, I had many more HTC APK's removed when I had it working stable.

ALSO, when my CPU throttles after I've had the tweak working, ksoft has maybe a 50/50 chance of using detectable amount of CPU. I've found my system to have 2% for both system and ksoft while it's been throttling.

I've considered looking at the tweak code, but once again I've been quite busy to do much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] collin1806:
Mine keeps saying 27 ksoft and 25 system. :( how can I fix this.

thanks for the shout out in the first post. :)

im back now and with a new evo, im personally testing 4.2 bfs smart ass right now, but if i dont get good results, ill be back to the tweak.

this thread is exactly how i wanted the original post to turn out, everyone putting they're heads together and figuring this bad boy out....

we have all come a long way...
[EVO 4G Android Development] barry.bishop72:
alright, I've gone through the instructions four times now, have the correct ROM/kernel, gone through all steps, taking no shortcuts....I just can't get it to work, ksoft may be gone for a second, but it comes right back between 28%-35%. Also, my battery is worse, when I first unplug it, it drops like a stone. I've given it days now. I also read through the first 19 pages of this thread, and it sounds like lots of other people have this problem. I'll check back for a solution. :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
I'm stripping this down and making it suited just for my own personal use, but if anyone wants to try mine here it is.

It's not configurable and if you don't like it just flash the original collin_ph mod over it.

It uses 806Mhz clock cap & ondemand governor along with some tweaks from collin_ph.

Conservative governor has issues in some kernels, else I would have set it to that.

Let me know if it works better for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
You should've read little more. ksoft is the tweak, and it means it's working properly. Give it a day or 2 to see the true battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
Can someone upload myn'2 2.2 stock kernel for me?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barry.bishop72:
I switched to netarchy-toastmod-4.2-bfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass-universal , will your tweak work with that?, if not can you suggest one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
It should work, though I will say the polling interval I set is too short.

Give the tweak a try, if you like my small changes I'll tell you how to adjust the polling.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barry.bishop72:
sorry, I mis-stated my understanding. I thought the ksoft reading was supposed to be in the low 20's where I was getting 28-35. Are you saying that if I give it a few more days it may come to some sort of equilibrium? I guess what I'm asking is will the behavior change after a few days? As stated, it shortened my battery life by 2-3 hours from my previous set up. BTW, thank you for taking the time to respond to my post, much appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
Yes, if you are on correct kernel, just give it some time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fmedina2:
The instructions arent clear to me. I have been told you cant flash until you have a noHavs kernel installed. However, in step 5, is when you tell us to install the kernel, but we can't do step 2 without flashing the battery tweak? So what exactly are we supposed to have going into this process? :confused: I am hoping this will be all worth the headache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
It just means that you make sure to uninstall the tweak via step 1-5, then flash stock or net 4.19 no havs kernel, then install the tweak again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fmedina2:
and when to flash the battery tweak .zip?
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
Right after you install the kernel.

Or if the kernel was already installed, and you uninstalled the tweak for some reason, you reboot into recovery, and just flash the tweak.

Bottom line is, if you see the ksoft in terminal status check using the command, you are good. Give it a day or two to see how it works for ya.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
Most kernels don't even need the tweak re-flashed, once it's flashed, it retains after switching kernels.

Once again, has anyone tried my modded tweak?

It seems to be working great for me, I've made even more changes to fit King's kernel better.

Here's the new version of mine just for King's #11, you will notice some slower performance but the battery increase will be drastic!

*Once again tweaked just for King's #11

Credit to all who worked on the original mod!
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
Will this tweak work on the new HTC #10 kernel that comes with RLS 3?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhoffy22:
No, you will need to use the modified HTC kernel that I included in the original post. The tweak cannot be used in correlation with any other program or kernel that modifies or scales the CPU. Meaning it can't be used with SetCPU, OCwidget, or any kernel that is HAVS. Netarchy has some new kernels out that seem to be working well with the tweak.

To everyone: Post your results if you decide to use the tweak with Myns RLS3!

Not working - will attempt with RLS3

Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS2 / nets no-hav 4.1.91 with this tweak does not work for me. Hardware version 0003 on evo

Have been running tweak for 2 days; my battery has been dieing anywhere for 6 - 12 hours with moderate use. Full charge overnight, within 12 hours idle my phone is dead.

top command normally averages between 28 - 30% for ksoft

I'm downloading RLS3 now and going to attempt this again to see what happens. I'm going to test with nets first since its the recommended kernel; then the modified HTC stock #11 and will report back.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jpagel:
No worky.

Wiped everything and installed Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS3

Rebooted, wiped cache, davik again, installed nets no hav with Col's batt tweak and ksoft averaged about 28% - gave it a little while and checked again, was still at 28%

Removed batt tweak, rebooted, wiped cache, davik again, installed modified stock #11 kernel and tweak again. Set again with batt-cfg, checked ksoft and it was at 33% - again gave it a while and checked again and it was @ 32%

I've removed the batt tweak, this doesn't appear to work for my phone at all.

FYI - I've been using clockworkmod recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] achllles:
Myn recommended ziggy's last night, I'm testing it right now, and seems okay so far. No tweaks btw.

If this thing doesn't work out, I'm just going to go back to Net's on my sig.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jpagel:
I just put King's #11 that was in Myns original post - normally i'm not a big fan of his kernels from past experience but it seems to be working OK now (have seen where it works good for a day or 2 then starts to bomb out). Otherwise I'm thinking about going back to stock - definitely curious as to how ziggy's works out for you, although i've read that the responsiveness can slow down a little (choppy?). I've been a freshhhh user for a long time, and was really happy with flipz rom, responsiveness, and batt life right out of the box. But Myn has definitely done some good work here, so if i can get the batt life up i'll be sticking with Warm (no sense) for now.
