Hi,

Setting the CPU clock higher than the standard 600Mhz will decrease the battery life - a lot. So please try to set your max CPU speed to 600Mhz, charged it up, then calibrate the battery (see 1st post of this thread).

Also, widgets are taking CPU clocks too, most of them are resource hungry apps. Facebook app also takes out too much CPU (IMHO) if FB widget is enabled.

With minimal widgets enabled (power switch bar, fancy widgets pro), normal use of WIFI, 3G(1 hour active) I reached almost 2 days running time before I got the first low power warning message.

Give it a try and it might be good for you too!

Regards,

Quasimid

I am overclocked to 806MHz with profiles for screen off 320 MHz maximum, and I get more than 2 days of usage(playing games, browsing the Internet on wi-fi, watching videos on YouTube). And I don't use complex widgets too.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jubilleum:
I did it, now everything works fine except the usb. I Plug in to the computer then nothing happeneds. What should i do?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fdespotovski:
Does your PC detect your device?If yes,then pull down the status bar and tap the usb icon.After that select mount and it will mount the sd card.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jubilleum:
Yes i know how it works. When a plug in nothing happens. Not on my pc and not my phone (just start charging).
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] lukemovement1:
if this is the first time this has happend reboot your computer then try to connect your device. if that still doesnt work reboot the phone wile it is pluged in to the computer and see if it works any better in recovery mode or bootloader mode(may be your wire). if you still cant connect your phone uninstall and then reinstall all android software/drivers.

if your computer can not find the drivers seach for then manually,E.g. i keep my drivers in "C:\android". also try different usb ports.

Thanks

Hi joost, Thanks, I manage to flash my swift with 2.0 ( over clocked at 806 MHz) running speedy and smooth from last three days. My benchmark is 977 above Galaxy S.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] gizmo001i:
Have you got Swapper installed on your phone. If you have, then that could be your problem. Try uninstalling swapper and see what happens.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Quinny899:
Or turning it off

How come you don't merge your changes with the cyanogenmod official ?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] wwenigma:
Memory management is too agressive. Maybe fix it with new M5 ?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] djdestiny:
Hello joost :)

Thank you for the barrage of updates , i'm currently on 1.3 , can i use M4 Directly ?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
Yes, you can. But you have to make a full wipe before flashing new version. ;-)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mhoangtr:
If you have swap partition, try disable compcache, memory free will increase.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] wwenigma:
Thats the problem. "Too much" free memory, apps killed too fast. I open a webpage with opera mini, i push the home button, and then switch back to opera. Opera killed within 5sec...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
Same problem here. But I think it's for all versions of this ROM? How is it with joe.stones clean version? Or maybe it's a problem with gingerbread itself.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] djdestiny:
Then i can't use M version ?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fdespotovski:
You can use any version.Just wipe your data in order to skip some problems you might have if you don't wipe.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] djdestiny:
I don't want to D: can i use like update to 1.9 without wiping ?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] durib:
I have been restoring data via recovery since 1.8 and all works just fine. I think it is from case to case ;) Try it and if you face a problem, do a wipe with no data restoring...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fdespotovski:
You can try any version without wipe.But,it's safer if you wipe the data.You can firstly try without wipe.If you get some boot loops and errors then you will have to do a wipe.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] djdestiny:
How do you restore data ? Backup it first or what ?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] durib:
Backup it in recovery.

Fastboot- wipe and flash new version

Go to recovery- restore- advanced- restore data (or something like that)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Quinny899:
Has anyone tried locking the lockscreen with a pin? (Settings > location and security > Change screenlock > PIN) With me it froze the phone on boot or locking and unlocking. I know this because the battery froze, the time froze, the bar would not pull down and the home screen went blank. When I did manage to remove the PIN on the 1 min that it works before locking up and then it works again.

^I do have a GT540 ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] wwenigma:
No, Joe's ROM is OK. Not close apps, only if need memory. M4 close app just for fun...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
Okay good to know. I'll try it in future.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mhoangtr:
In M4 rom, lowmemorykiller setting is 6,8,16,20,32,40 MB so apps killed too fast.

If you want to keep apps longer, try set to 6,8,16,20,22,24 MB (this is default value of android).
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] bataya:
how and where to change lowmemorykiller setting?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
M5 is comming soon.

* Less aggresive lowmemorykiller setting

* + 10-20% to battery life

* USB MASS STORAGE mode without drivers

* Increase vibrator power

* Add ukrainian dictionary to keyboard

* CM updated to 7.1.0 RC0
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Quinny899:
That's very good news. Are the battery improvements caused by less ram (& therefore less aggressive killer setting) go together?

No, by editing charging table in kernel.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EazyLuke:
Sounds great!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
nice work mur4ik i love you work so far ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] chaudha4@hotmail.com:
Thanks Mur4ik. I went back to 2.1 because of battery drain problem. Eagerly waiting for your release. Cannot wait to come back. Thanks for all the hard work you are doing.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] wwenigma:
No, by editing charging table in kernel.

Keep Li-Poli safe levels. :) (over-undercharge) Or just % settings adjusted to mV-s?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
@mur4ik have you updated the kernel source in the next update the way joe.stone has in his latest version?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] max1919:
hmm, I'm not sure is new kernel good idea cause I don't see any improvements and overclocking is less stable.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
Over-undercharge and % settings adjusted.

What problem can be from Over-undercharge ?

By default is 3200mV, I've cahnged it to 3000. People use it over few days, and no problem with it. Is it dangerous?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
if you have changed the battery voltage from 3200mV to 3000 then i think it will be safe because its like putting a 19v 3.16amp charger into a 19v 3.42amp laptop its perfectly safe.

edit: @mur4ik if you want roms tested before you make them public i would be happy to i still have warranty on my phone so it will cost nothing to fix lol
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
Count me in for any testing action. My phone's been flashed more than an OAP on the Motorway!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] bataya:
You can`t damage phone with over-undercharge, only battery.

Discharging battery below 3V can deteriorate battery performance. So 3V should be safe, or for any case you can limit it on 3.1V or something like that.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] wwenigma:
3000 safe but i dont think , this is the battery problems source. If you set too low level, battery go to deep discharge state and die. Thats true.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] MomirPeh:
I have just one question for Mur4ik.

Will You make manual GSM network selection and registration work?

So far I can get Automatic registration and GSM networks list to work.

If You make this work, then I would ask nothing more, this would be a PERFECT rom for me!

Thank You for all You done so far!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] edy4sure:
:) everyone is eagerly awaiting M5! Anyway, it shows how good Mur4ik's ROM has become, battery problems have less complaints plus, fewer bugs to deal with. Thanks again Mur4ik, I salute you!

SwiftDroid v2.0 M5 Recovery: http://depositfiles.com/files/qdgen5wt5 Fastboot: http://depositfiles.com/files/7zr0h0gqo
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
Dont worry abaut "underchare", in original kernel sources msm-battery driver use values from 2800 to 4300 (that 1500, and 1500 in LGs service manual), LG in their source use a 3200 to 4200 values (1000).

So I'm think that 3000 low value is safe for us battery.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] j41:
Battery lasts longer now??

Downloading m5...can't wait to try it!

Thanks Mur4ik.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
And I recoomend using GOContacts instead of default dialer.

GOContacts have a more features like in original 2.1.

Maybe I built-in it in next version by default.

And GOSms too ... all GO team products :)

Also are we no longer allowed put up mirrors, cause 28kb/s is just ridiculously slow, or at least can we have an official mirror of Mur4ik's choice?

I installed M5 using recovery method. I did get an error message 7 after applying the update but it works anyway, I then restored my data and re-booted the phone. All works very well, very impressed so far. For me M4 was rock solid, with no FCs. So looking forward to testing out M5. Great work Mur4ik.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mircea89fzr:
GoLauncher feels too slow for me, although it looks great.

Also, I noticed the I/O peformance was doubled in Quadrant, from ~500 to ~1100 @ 852 Mhz.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] DarkRyoushii:
hey this may be a stupid stupid question but I was curious to know if SetCPU is included in this ROM or must I get it from the marketplace. I ask because in other ROMs I've noticed things like Root Explorer pre-installed and was really hoping to try out SetCPU. (Flashing this to a friends GT540 in next few days)

Thanks in advance

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mircea89fzr:
setcpu is not included in this rom. you'll not find for free on the market either.

SetCPU can be downloaded free from this forum! see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419

Then simply extract the zip, place the apk on sdcard, install via rootexplorer.

But you can also overclock the CPU without SetCPU. Go to Settings->CyanogenMod->performance (or something similar)

I don't have the status bar problem. Not tried speaker yet...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] edy4sure:
I haven't had any issues and, I have even tested out all the bugs mentioned here on my phone. I flashed using fastboot (did a recovery backup first). So for those of you with any bugs maybe it has to do with way you flashed. So here is my method, hope it helps:

fastboot -w

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

Mind you, I charged my phone first then restored my data via recovery. I reebooted my phone, put it to charge and at 100% I used the battery calibaration app to recalibarate battery. And that was it. Maybe you should try this method :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
I advise everyone to do a long charge to get the best from the battery.

I just left mine charging overnight and this morning did a recovery battery stats wipe. Rebooted and started using the phone - well, after 45 minutes of web browsing on wifi it's still at 100%...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mejack03:
@fishears

for me it never show 100% :(

And in M5 vibration effect is more. but i dont like it

Anybody know how to reduce the vibration effect?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
Try putting it into Airplane mode and turn the screen off while charging. Charge it beyond when it says "Charged". Do the battery stats wipe with the charger still connected. Only unplug it when you reboot system.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] j41:
I'll give yours a shot fishears...lets hope that it does not have to be connected flat out.
