I can't wait to see next version. But hopefully not till after Thanksgiving. Hopefully op is enjoying time with the family. I'm excited though. This is my favorite current kernel. Who would have ever thought would willingly clock my evo to stock hero speeds.

CFS/BFS

Sorry for the noob question, but can someone explain the difference between Completely Fair Scheduler and Brain **** Scheduler? As in, the advantages and disadvantages to each?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Hey boss, now that CM has released their own .35 unified kernel to be used in many devices, what does the future look like for ZenDroid? I love the little tweaks in this kernel that make it such a blazer and a battery saver, but was curious if there was any planned integration or anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thedarksavant:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=cfs+vs+bfs
[EVO 4G Android Development] thedarksavant:
But seriously, from the little bit of reading I've done, CFS is best for batch processes and BFS is best for interrupt driven processes. That would indicate that on a phone, BFS is better.

However, people have better luck with one or the other, so try out both and stick with the one that works best for you.

This kernel kicks ass on blackdroid. quadrant scores in the 1900s. Thanks. blackdroid is outragous. im waiting for snap turbo for 2.2.1. suppose to be coming soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kraenesk:
I won't touch ultimate droid. It has warez in it and after reading about his history here i have no desire to touch it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] skydeaner:
Come on now, he gave his credit where due. A lot of people use swype in their roms, if it was available to buy then I would call it warez, but it isn't, it is being hogged by the phone companies.

Maybe I missed something. But he did a great theming job on it and he gives credit to cyanogen twenty times across his threads and in the software itself. I just think people need to forgive and forget. But hey, I also think that BK chicken fries commercial with the chicken that says "Maybe I do wanna be a frenchfry" is like the funniest thing I have ever seen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] INebilim:
I agree. it's a rom just like all the others, he gave credit in the rom itself. if you are in love with cyanogen then thats different, i am sure he is less bothered by it than you are at this point.

PS: has anyone keep getting stuck in the bootscreen with this kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:

How is the kernel working for you. Any improvement in battery life? My battery is draining something fierce and I can't figure it out. I have wi-fi sleep policy set to when screen turns off. I'm running 6.1 RC2 with included kernel. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
14.5 hours off the charger, still have 34% remaining. This is with moderate use (about 20 texts, CONSTANT xda checks for a new Zen kernel... I'm hurting for one too... several calls, and a tango video call) and took it off the charger at 95. Seems pretty decent for me. :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] jamesgtivr6:
Thanks Crossrocker. I gave that a go just now, so i'll see how that goes. Do you think using this kernel will also improve performance and battery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Yes. I get about 1.75x the battery, and about 1.1x the performance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
could you tell me wich rom are you ussing and your setcpu setup please, i gonna try that
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
Performance is way higher. The stock kernel that comes with cm is sucky for me. I cannot multitask even while over clockclocking. Zen is better underclocked to 844 then stock kernel overclocked to 1136

For set CPU, I used 844-245 smartass gov. Screen off 384-245 smartass. That's all i ussually need. Also, remember that bfs works better on phones then cfs.

First off theres not enough AOSP kernels out there so thank you. Now Im a kernel hound I watch them under a microscope now this may not be a quadrant stomper but battery is terrific I was expecting a quicc uninstall but to be honest this thing is GREAT and its only alpha WOW I cant wait...NICE
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
I agree ... I have tested both Toast's test kernel and this guy, and I noticed a slightly better battery life over Toast's. That said, I'm with the previous poster that said his phone likes CFS better than BFS ... I saw reduced performance compared to Toast (albeit slight). Hence, I'm back to Toast's, however I will be checking ZenDroid frequently for future updates. Maybe a CFS version ;).

I had been runing the second version and I can't use FM radio, camera works fine and I noticed one problem when making call it dials out but evrything freezes. Is it posble to have it go down to 128 mhz and over clock all way until 1260 mhz ?

When I compile kernel from git I can't get wimax module to compile I get error number of things are not defined.

Also there is problem with mm/mlock.c there is function that is also defined in mm.h

/* Is the vma a continuation of the stack vma above it? */

static inline int vma_stack_continue(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long addr)

return vma && (vma->vm_end == addr) && (vma->vm_flags & VM_GROWSDOWN); }

it needs to be deleted from mm/mlock.c
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
Thanks, I'm going to take a look at FM radio and a few other things including the phone.

I'll add 128mhz and 1260mhz in the next build.

wimax needs a few symbols to be exported I'll probably have that fixed in git tonight

And thanks, fixing that tonight as well ;)

Smart Ass Governing?

Thanks for your help. I set the wi-fi to never and the battery life has improved a bunch. I was at 94% when I swithched this morning now I am at 74%, which is so much better than it was since I flashed the ROM.

I think I am going forward with the ZEN kernel CFS. I haven't had much luck with any BFS kernel on my phone at all. What exactly is Smart Ass Governing? Is this built in to the kernel, or is it a setting in SET CPU? I looked in SET CPU and didn't see it. I am sorry for the ignorance, but want to make sure I am following correctly. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Its a governor specific to the kernel, the stock kernel won't have it. When you load the kernel and go into SetCPU, select the pull-down menu for governors and it should be there. Essentially, its a version of interactive tweaked to give your phone more of a kick than FourLoko gives you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
From what I've seen and know; bfs is suppose to be better for our phones. If you notice bbedward only made a bfs version of. 5 and himself asked why every one wants a cfs version.

Hey boss, just a heads up that the newest nightly is running off of the .9 kernel. I have no idea what changes have been made, but it does seem quite a bit snappier than the stock .8 kernel from RC2. I'm not trying to rush a new kernel from ya, just thought you'd be interested. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamesgtivr6:
I installed the CFS .9 kernel and set smartass as per your recommendation. I an goind to do a nandroid with the CFS and then install the BFS and see if that works any better. I've used BFS in the past before coming over to Cyanogen ROM's and they always crashed and boot looped with the other roms. I sooner just thought not to use them anymore, but i'll try it again.

One more thing, is it necessary or recommended to do anything with the perflock disabler on these kernels? Thanks again for the helping out. This is why this forum is kick-ass.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
Just went 17 hours with 10% left. Data disabled the whole time, setcpu, and wifi On about 75% of the time. Can't comment on screen on usage because i rebooted my phone in the middle.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bgmodz:
no i know that i tried that... i ended up fixing it by restoring from a nandroid but it wouldnt get into recovery and sometimes it wouldnt even boot at all it was crazy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
No need to disable perflock; that's only for HTC sense i think. And bfs does have trouble when you reboot on zendroid. So if bfs works fine for you then good. Or else use cfs. But when snap comes out, i deffinately recommend bfs.

On a side note here's my kernel list. 3:cm stock kernel(sucky) zendoid(snappy but bootloops) snap(snappy)

[EVO 4G Android Development] cbond007:
thanks, I appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamesgtivr6:
I installed the CFS and BFS last night like we discussed. The CFS loaded fine and I set the SETCPU to smartass as well. All was fine and then the system froze, restarted and stayed on the white "Evo 4G" screen. I waited over a half hour, battery pulled and went into recovery to flash the kernel again. The same thing happened. I restored the stock kernel and flashed the BFS and I couldn't get far past the lockscreen without looping. Before flashing I wiped the cache, dalvik and battery stats via clockwork recovery. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, if anything, but its frustrating.

I restored back to stock kernel 6.1RC2. I unplugged this morning at 8:30am and it's now 5:27pm and I am at 56%. I'm pretty stoked with that, but like us all, I want more! Any suggestions on what's up with the kernel would be appreciated as always. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thedarksavant:
I never really had anyone else confirm my hypothesis, but I know others have had success with:

1. Disable SetCPU on boot

2. Flash kernel

3. Re-setup SetCPU (Menu -> Device Selection)

My theory is that SetCPU configures itself based on the parameters of the kernel, so flashing a new kernel and leaving SetCPU configured for the old kernel is asking for weird behavior.
[EVO 4G Android Development] paranoid android85:
Cm stock kernel is far from sucky. Especially the new .9 stock that's on the newest nightly
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamesgtivr6:
I'm sorry, I forgot to include that part. I did that when I flashed because I saw that suggestion a few pages ago. Any other ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamesgtivr6:
@paranoid android85:

I saw that too. Is there a way to get only the kernel from the newest nightly? I currently have 2.6.35.8-cyanogenmodshade@toxygene #1
[EVO 4G Android Development] thedarksavant:
Only other suggestion I have, er question, is what recovery are you using? I've heard rumor that Clockwork may not wipe sufficiently. If you are using Clockwork, perhaps try amon ra and use it to wipe and flash?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xpanmanx:
Switching WIFI to "never sleep" improves battery life...? Help me understand. Does it work this way with the CM6 stock kernel? (currently running 183)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamesgtivr6:
I've heard that too, but don't see why Clockwork would be any different. I would assume (my fault for assumtion) that it would be sufficient enough as Cyan uses it to report updates to Cyan ROMs. Alos, since it has been said it doesn't fully wipe properly, I would assume (my fault again) the clockwork guy would fix the issue. I'll try that later and report back. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamesgtivr6:
@xpanmanx:

I did this per Crossrocker's recommendation and battery life is AWESOME! I unplugged at 8:30am and it is now 7:30pm and I am at 55% with average use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
Because wifi sleep is only disconnecting from your wifi network; not turning wifi off. So its like having wifi on but not being connected.

Not sure I would just do a nand back up, flash the new nightly and do a nand restore if you don't like it. I was using zendroid .9 bfs for a while, but I have to say the new stock kernel runs very smooth. Not as high of a quandrant score, but ill just wait for snap 9 for that
