SetVsel And Cyanogenmod 7 RC0

hello everyone
i have a quick question
is it true i shouldn't use setvsel with CM7?because i just read that in the FAQ thread for CM7 here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
and i need setvsel because i use it to undervolting and also i don't to overclock my cpu to 1Ghz since 800mhz can handle all the games i play and im getting 1900-2100 score in quadrant on stock cpu speed
and if i can't use it or shouldn't what program should i use ??since cpu settings in cm settings doesn't include undervolting
(although i've been use it on CM7 rom for 3 days now and i didn't have any trouble)
thanx in advance
appreciate your help guys

Hi there,
CM7 RC0 has the CPU clock speeds & Vsel in the bootmenu where you can overclock, undervolt, change the governor etc.
If you reboot your phone & go into the bootmenu when the blue led comes on then you can access the overclock menu.
There's more info in Quarx's thread in the dev forum

ok but setvsel is quicker and easier...so can i use it or i shouldn't?

From what I've read in the relevant threads about CM7 many people are saying not use it.
I used it in froyo but since flashing CM7 RC0 I only use the bootmenu for CPU settings.

I used the same settings that peetr_ used in the post I've linked to above. It uses the smartass governor.
It appears that there's different settings depending upon which governor is selected:
eg; for the smartass governor then in the overclock settings list the settings that start with _smt are relevant,
interactive governor _int,
ondemand governor _ond, etc.
Think that's how it works

No problem pleased I could help
I left the bootmenu cpu frequencies as to what they were but undervolted them slightly.
300/22, 600/34, 1000/54 - I tried many settings using setvsel when running froyo so I know these work fine for me.
As for the other settings I just used those that peetr_ posted for the smartass governor & it seems to run nicely. Haven't had any issues yet

btw...when i used the values in the post you gave me the phone was running without any issues but if you open setvsel and looked at the cpu it keeps changing from 300 to 1000 even if you are not doing anything but if you used the ondemand scale governor you will notice that if you are not doing anything the value stays 300mhz so im not sure that smartass is a good governor after all...or maybe its just me
anyways i think i will keep the settings like this:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
also change the other values in menu like this(i think you must change them according to the values you gave your cpu in the 3 vsels):
smt_min:30
smt_max:80(although i suspect this one should be 100 but since the user in the thread you gave kept it 80 im keeping it 80 )
smt_awake:300000
smt_sleep_max:300000
smt_up_min:1000000
smt__wakeup:1000000
smt_ramp:300000
ond_up_threshold:75
what do you think of these values ?
and also...can you tell my your temp in normal state and in after heavy use ?i think mine stays hot

oh and btw could you provide me with a link for the youtube apk you are using i can't seem to find a one that works

My cpu sometimes jumped from 300-1000 when I used setvsel on froyo.
Temperature wise it seems to be running similar if not slightly cooler than when on froyo. Now the hottest I have seen battery temp is 35C but it is mostly much cooler than that.

hmm..mine reached 39c on very heavy use...normaly its around 30c
and about the youtube app..no it wasn't included and i downloaded the app in the market but it crashes on most videos

btw im getting 2000-2500 in quadrant...how come?i think that is too good to be true

Here's what i've come up with, using google (lets correct them, if some are wrong) :
con_up_threshold: [80] # system load in % above which increases the CPU frequency?
con_down_threshold: [20] # system load in % above which drops the CPU frequency?
con_freq_step: [5] # frequency step?
con_sampling_rate: [160000] # interval (in milliseconds) between polls of the system. In fact, the intervals between changes of CPU frequency? Times in 160 seconds?
int_min_sampling_rate: [50000] # minimal interval (in milliseconds) between polls of the system. In fact, the intervals between changes of CPU frequency? Every 50 seconds?
ond_up_threshold: [86] # CPU in % above which increases the frequency of the processor.
ond_sampling_rate: [50000] # second? interval (in milliseconds) between polls of the system. In fact, the intervals between changes of CPU frequency? Every 50 seconds?
smt_min_cpu_load: [40] # CPU usage in % in achieving a reduced frequency of the processor
smt_max_cpu_load: [85] # CPU in % above which increases the CPU frequency
smt_awake_min_freq: [30000] # The minimum frequency of waking up?
smt_sleep_max_freq: [30000] # CPU frequency during sleep?
smt_up_min_freq: [1200000] # The minimal jump. so default made the cpu jump every time to max speed
smt_wakeup_freq: [1200000] # The frequency of waking up. It is important to not lose calls.
smt_ramp_up_step: [250000] # How much to increase the frequency at one time?

So witch is the best governor and settings for normal daily usage like some texts, calls, 3g/wifi, maybe some games ?
I'm on smartass right now with these settings
Vsel1 - 20
2 - 31
3 - 54
smt_min... - 30
smt_max... - 80
smt_awake_min... - 300000

i don't know...really..i can't seem to relate what are the values for with the available governors
my only problem with smartass governor that even if im not using the cpu the values keep changing between 300mhz-1000ghz but when im using on demand if im not doing anything with the phone the cpu stays at 300mhz but when i start using the phone(moving the screen up and down for example)the values changes to 1000ghz and when i stop the values goes back to 300mhz that's why im using on demand...but again it might be just my cpu
looks like it requires to dig more in the differences between each governor
anyway i read in the latest post in CM7 DEV thread that some people is actually using setvsel so i opened my boot menu,and went to overclock,selected set default,reboted,and installed setvsel and applied these values:
20/300
33/600
47/800
up_therhold:75
oh and btw...how's your battery life ?

Dudes, so please, quick answer:
Use SetVsel - no
use build in "overclock" settings in CM7 RC0 - yes?
Any one using CM7 RC0 bootmenu> Overclocking?
There are more values than in peters thread.
Please advise with all info/numbers according to present in overclocking bootmenu 0.8.6 values.

Yes I've got CM7 RC0 & using the bootmenu overclock.
There's many values in the menu as it depends upon which governor you have set it to so only those values relevant to that governor will be used.
For instance on Smartass governor - the values starting with _smt will apply

CPU governor or SetCPU or both questions

I currently have UD 1.1b2 with sibere kernel v13 installed.
Now I think, it clocks not to 1200 but to 1000, due to a report of Quadrant System information.
Do I have to edit a file (which one) on my device so CPU governor is clocking to 1200 or is installation of SetCPU required?
Somewhere I read, these two interfere with each other.

Posted the same in the other Thread:
I installed Stab. Test but it tells me with the root testing (name forgotten) that only 1000 MHz max are tested.
I have an overclocking kernel which should go to 1200.
How can I test 1200 with this app?

€dit:
It seems the 1200 max freq setting is constantly overwritten by something.

The governor is responsible for the adjusting of the clock while Android is running.
SetCPU allows for an easier switching between installed governors and to set other Min-Max Frequencies.
They both do a complete different job.
Please check with either SetCpu or Overclock Widget that the min-max values are 300-1200 and then you should be good.
And keep in mind, with any other governor then performance you will prob. never see 1200 on any widget.
Setcpu has an info page where you can see (time in state ) what freqs are used.

I just let Uruk handle the CPU governor. I also use the following...
CPU Spy is simple app to display the time the CPU spends in each frequency state:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy
Temp+CPU V2 is a widget and will show current CPU speed, CPU load, batt temp, and ram:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sanels.tempcpuv2

That is the problem.
I set SetCPU to 300 - 1200.
Shortly after doing that, it switches automatically to 800 or 300 - 1000.
No more 1200 anymore on SetCPU main Screen.

I like to minimize the number of apps not written by me doing stuff behind the scenes, and so I just use a startup script to set the CPU settings. This also fixes a problem with video player apps on the Gen8 archos automatically fixing the CPU rate at 800 MHz (which is sometimes not enough for Netflix and sometimes too much for other things), though it may be that the current version of SetCPU also fixes this (I reported the issue to the SetCPU author).

First step before install & kernel switch:
Always have this cleaning script on your internal SD card ready
If you're
- switching kernels,
- have issues with auto-rotation,
- the cam,
- bootloops
- want to remove init script
- recover from a failed overclock attempt
please give either:
- lippol94's updated cleaning script (apply via CWM recovery): http://www.multiupload.com/XFH1GCK4MB

Introduction:
Hi guys,
this is my first modded kernel for the SGS (CM7/MIUI only)
I first needed to test it to make sure that it'll be stable & boot at the first place
so far it's very fast & responsive & smooth
This thread shall serve as the center for my testing kernels (stability & functionality-wise)
DISCLAIMER: the kernel (binary) and driver modules are provided as is. If problems occcur they most probably are from upstream and can be fixed with the newest version. Since I'm doing this in my free spare time as a hobby (quenching my thirst for tweaks & performance) updates will occur irregularly as time permits and I see fit (most probably when new features & bugfixes arrive). YOU are responsible for the actions that you take (such as over- or underclocking), etc. You agree that I can not be held liable for any potential damage that arises from your actions in combination with or the usage of this kernel and other related parts.
Kudos:
* Google, Andy Rubin & the whole Android crew
* Linus Torvalds & the kernel hackers for upstream Linux
* cyanogen & all the devs out there hacking on this
* Supercurio for enriching our media experience of this smartphone
* codeworkx, coolya, guiper, atinm - the whole teamhacksung|cmsgsteam crew and all other hackers working on CM7
* laststufo, hardcore, nikademus, existz and all the other kernel hackers on the SGS forum
* zen-kernel team for inspiration to create a kernel, too
* all other contributors (devs, users, etc.) who make this possible
The purpose of these kernels is extensive stability testing addressing the following sticking points:
- overall stability & functioning of the kernel and phone
- call drops, missed calls, etc.
- lags (suggestions for improvements are welcome)
- auto-rotation, sensors, etc.
- Voodoo Control Plus [any crashes ? compatibility problems ?]
- working on CM7 or MIUI ?
- scheduler, sound, video synchronisation & lags: Tap Tap Revenge 4 (especially at the beginning of songs)
- scheduler, sound, video synchronisation and any other issues: doodle dash (while shooting & sound activated)
- proper pmem memory layout & settings: proper functioning of Google Googles

Note that these UV settings will be unstable on many devices. It's only informative.
1600 MHz - 1.500v / -> That's high and many devices will fail on this frequency. Find working UV for you if any.
1500 MHz - 1.500v / -> That's high and many devices will fail on this frequency. Find working UV for you if any.
1440 MHz - 1.475v / -75mv
1400 MHz - 1.450v / -75mv
1300 MHz - 1.400v / -75mv
1200 MHz - 1.350v / -75mv
1000 MHz - 1.250v / -50mv - If you have stability issues, try to let this one by default.
800 MHz - 1.200v / -75mv
400 MHz - 1.050v / -100mv
200 MHz - 0.950v / -150mv
100 MHz - 0.950v / -200mv - (can be very different between two devices)
More volts is not always equal to more stability. Try to add more UV (less volts) if the frequency you're trying to achieve is unstable.
Considering all phones will respond differently to OC/UV, to tweak the values to suit your device will be required.
By default, no overclock/undervolt is applied. You'll need to use one of the tools below to adjust the frequencies and voltages.
Note : Never ever use SetCPU with this kernel. You could encounter many stability problems like random reboots or bootloops.

Modems play a crucial role in how much battery drains in standy.
e.g. if you have a good signal area and the modem still has high
"Time without a signal" indicator under Cell standby you still will get bad standby time
make sure you have little to no "Time without a signal" in Cell standby
there also somewhat seems to be a connection between "Time without a signal" and high "Android OS" number in battery use (!)

FAQ / Documentation
@bootloop / boot post victims ^^
Hi guys,
could you please try to replace the existing kernel on your MIUI or CM7 nightly CWM-Package with my kernel, modules and its scripts ?
then install that updated package (with the new kernel, modules and scripts)
after that all should work
the bootloops seem to be an issue with bml_over_mtd (broken sectors on the SSD on your phone)
I'll investigate this and see if anything needs to be rewritten and/or updated in that regard
Thanks !
Overclocking / Undervolting:
Q: I'm new in OC/OV operations so please could you explain to me how to set it in the best way?
A: start with -50 mV (delta from default value) other values probably are too low
my testing includes:
- Angry Birds Rio (several missions)
- Gun Bros (for some time)
- mp3 playback, (flac playback - optional)
- surfing the web via browser, opening up bit.ly links from cmsgsteam twitter feed
- watching youtube video
- watching video via rockplayer lite or mobo video player
- running benchmarks (Smartbench 2011, quadrant standard, an3dbenchXL, anTutuBench)
- Labyrinth Lite (for gravity sensor), auto-rotation (also for sensor)
when 1 GHz (1,2 or 1,3) is OK - go lower with undervolt value (e.g. -75 mV)
after it gets un-stable - go back to last known stable value
then you can limit max frequency to lower one, e.g. 800 MHz
and repeat testing for that frequency

LED Support FAQ
Q: Do LED notification require an app, such as BLN, etc ?
A: No. It uses Android's and Cyanogen settings, other apps are not required, although some that are designed for regular LEDs may work.
Q: How to I turn off LED notifications, scheduled or/and complete turn off?
A: Use Cyanogen's Quiet Hours feature (settings>cyanogen>sound>quiet hours) and check "Dim the LEDs during quiet hours" (in reality it will turn them off on the SGS). If you schedule a complete day, then LED notifications will be off all the time.
Q: How do I setup per app, find other LED settings etc?
A: Settings>cyanogen>interface>LED notifications
Q: What to do with LED color settings?
A: We have only one color, so that doesn't work. Use Green as default setting. Some non-bright colors turn off notification, as it's the equivalent as diming LEDs (note that on real LEDs if you dim them too much they look like off too anyway, the difference is that it's gradual. On the SGS the LEDs can be only on or off, not gradual)
Q: How can I troubleshot my system, I can use ADB but...
A: adb logcat | grep lights (on linux) will show you Android requests to turn LED on or off. "status" tells you what we decide will be interpreted as "turn LED on" (1= on, 0 = off)
adb shell cat /proc/kmsg for live view (or adb shell dmesg if you're using adb after the issues occurs - careful the backlog is limited in size so don't be too slow)
notify_led_on and notify_led_off are requests to the kernel to turn LED on or off.
touch key write/read errors (cypress) are non-fatal failures to ask the touch key to do something (eg lit up the LED), when the hardware goes crazy or there's a logical error in the code (can be both)
touch key recovery routine or "stopped responding" are either hardware errors, either a logical error where the driver would try to write something the touchkey doesnt understand. in some occasion lock&unlock fix those as a work around, of course a permanent fix is required
Voodoo Color settings:

Screen v1 gamma hack:
- use Alt. settings
- or if you prefer others - use: "Reset to 2.3.3 defaults", "Punchy settings" (punchy could lead to a great screen while locking the screen and having "screen off" animation disabled)
other recommended settings:
Also a lil tip for people who use voodoo color!

SGS CM7 nightlies wiki

Android OS bug, :
(thanks to ceriko ! and his awesome guide for DarkyROM 10.1)
If your battery drains very fast and your battery stats mentions Android OS above 10%, often between 40 and 60%, sometimes more, this is the best to do as far as I know:
- Remove the 2/3 system files as per the beginning part of this guideguide about batterie issues.
- Install WatchDog and open (I set it to "moderate", then I close it, that's all), this app will warn you whenever an app or a process miss-behaves by draining the battery excessively. It will not fix it but just flag it and you will see a notification.
- Reboot usually stops the drain for a while until it naturally comes back, so reboot whenever you see Android OS above 10% and rising or after you see WatchDog mentioning "Suspend" process using too much battery (the suspend process hanging is the Android OS bug).
- Some apps trigger it, most common are Gameloft games (blame Samsung, not the games/apps). No need to use apps or games for this drain to happen, it also happens straight after boot once phone has been fully charged.
This bug can not be fixed by anyone but Samsung. Some never see it, some will experience it everyday no matters what they do... It's just annoying and unfair but that's the same on all Gingerbread releases by Samsung (JVK, JVB, JVO, JVH). Apparently even the SGS2 has this...
screenstate scaling aka my governor won't change after screen locked:
So what is this all about ?
it's an init script that is put in to /system/etc/init.d
and switches between the configured governors in the script
depending on whether the screen is on (AWAKE_GOVERNOR) or off (SLEEP_GOVERNOR)
in most cases your phone is off - in that case it would be good to use a governor which doesn't fire up the cpu frequency too fast since you don't need it (no GUI, smooth scrolling, etc. needed while the screen is off - lol),
so conservative governor is set
when using the phone (screen on) it really depends on what you want to do: e.g. latency & smoothness is crucial: try smartass2, smartass, ondemand;
you're mainly browsing & reading stuff: try ondemandb, conservative (the screen is already burning enough battery so you don't need another component burning yet more)
only use one governor at a time
e.g.
AWAKE_GOVERNOR
# AWAKE_GOVERNOR
# AWAKE_GOVERNOR
SLEEP_GOVERNOR
# SLEEP_GOVERNOR
# SLEEP_GOVERNOR
that means lines with "#" are commented out and not used by the script
e.g.
# AWAKE_GOVERNOR
AWAKE_GOVERNOR
# AWAKE_GOVERNOR
SLEEP_GOVERNOR
# SLEEP_GOVERNOR
# SLEEP_GOVERNOR
also would work (intentionally not filled in any governors)

@all:
Neo 17 r10 is available on IRC !
Changelog said:
NEO 17 (r10 - codename Butterfly) changelog [SGS/Telus, Captivate, Vibrant]
Changes (from r9 - 2nd testbuild):
• bumped RAM up to 348 MB (everything should still work, incl. Youtube HD recording)
• ported over smartass2 governor (super-smooth & battery-efficient, hopefully no issues anymore with getting stuck on high frequencies - unless due to system & broken apps)
• back to cm7 vanilla/stock yaffs2 driver - let's see if this fixes the discouraged random resets for few people (loss of contacts, apps gone, etc.)

Thanks zach, r11 + smartassV2 is really super-smooth! You are doing an amazing job.
No problems so far, I got my last SOD on r9.

So on Neo 17 v11 what is set for governor(not showing in pimp)?? I got confused when reading the whole thing. Plus did you say it won't change from awake governor to sleep governor with the screen off? If so how do I make it so it does?? I don't see a screenstate scaling in root exploring under the right location. I have in the past but.can't now.

Uninstall Pimp My CPU.
Delete the Pimp My CPU folder in your SD Card.
Reflash the Neo 17 R11 Kernel and the V51 Script again.
Install back Pimp My CPU.
OK, you'll see the Governor and Scheduler which already been set by Neo 17 R11 Kernela and the V51 Script.

the new platypus 17r11 is superfast, my CAPPY felt great with it
thanks Zach
hope the color issue soon to be fix since i like to customize the color temp

Did you have this problem as well?? ha! I found the V51 Script, I think!
I tried to change awake governor but it's not showing in Pimp my Cpu. I rebooted, tried deleting & installing it again but no luck.
I edited the script with text editor from Root Explorer, put # infront of ondemandb, and took # from smartass2. Rebooted but pimp my cpu is showing ondemandb.

Speed up by switching to 16-bit video

I've been playing with my Archos 43, and found a cool way to almost double the speed of 2D graphics and somewhat increase 3D graphics speed (as measured with AnTuTu), and probably decrease memory usage, at the expense of display quality.
Just switch the device into 16-bit display mode.
Code:
su
fbset -fb /dev/graphics/fb0 -g 480 854 480 854 16 -n ; killall zygote
One could set this up on boot, but I haven't figured out how to run any scripts before zygote starts using Chulri's rw root.
To switch back to 32-bit, just do a normal reboot, or:
Code:
su
fbset -fb /dev/graphics/fb0 -g 480 854 480 854 32 -n ; killall zygote
---------- Post added at 05:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------
Alas, 16-bit breaks the Archos video player and Youtube. On the other hand, Netflix works fine.

HI,
what is the difference with chainfire 3D?

As far as I know, ChainFire3D switches texture bit depth, but still leaves the bit depth of the screen as a whole unchanged. In particular, setting to 16-bit textures in CF3D may help with some 3D apps, but will have no effect on 2D performance. Setting to 16-bit mode in the above way almost doubles 2D performance, at the expense of quality and complete loss of Youtube/Archos Video. One should be able to combine the 16-bit setting above with CF3D.

Of course, if you've got a different device, you'll need different resolution numbers. You can find out your numbers with:
Code:
su
fbset -fb /dev/graphics/fb0

Further investigation: the fbset command doesn't require root on Gen8 if executed in adb, so you can do this on a non-rooted device.

I did some more benchmarks. In these, the performance gain is more moderate, probably because I was previously comparing to a system that was configured less well in other ways.
There is still a 38% performance gain for 2D applications with CF3D off.
Some AnTuTu benchmarks on the A43:
32-bit display, CF3D off:
2D: 344
3D: 718
32-bit display, CF3D set to reduce textures to 16-bit:
2D: 378
3D: 726
32-bit display, CF3D set to unroll textures to 32-bit:
2D: 432
3D: 712
16-bit display, CF3D off:
2D: 478 (average of two tests)
3D: 711
16-bit display, CF3D set to reduce textures to 16-bit:
2D: 408
3D: 756
16-bit display, CF3D set to unroll textures to 32-bit:
2D: 426
3D: 716

I can not confirm any positive affect of the 16bit setting on my A70s. The scripts seem to work, the system reboots and the fbset reports 16 bit as expected. But the 2D benchmark staid the same around 275 in Antutu for both 16 and 32 bit settings. Worse: my system needed a cold reset to get archos video back working.

Oh, well.
I wonder, by the way, why your 2D benchmark is so much lower on your A70 than on my A43. Is your max CPU speed set to 1ghz?

I used uruk 1.6b1 with 1200/300 setting via setcpu. I tried different constant settings to see if there would be a dependency:
I got more or less constant 275 for frequencies from 1200 to 800, 365 for 600 MHz and 300 for 300 MHz. Very strange.

I'm also seeing the CPU speed as not mattering much. I just got 353 with 300MHz and 419 with 1000MHz.
What is your debug.sf.hw setting? You can do:
Code:
getprop | grep debug.sf.hw
to check.
Normally, I have it set to debug.sf.hw=1.
If I set debug.sf.hw=0, I get a maximum of 200 on AnTuTu 2D, and the value seems to vary more with CPU speed. I am guessing that with hardware acceleration enabled, it's the GPU speed and memory bus speed that matter, not the CPU speed.
I'm also using this script to optimize memory management. I haven't tested enough to see if it makes a difference.

Good idea. I tried out your grep. As you might have expected: nothing, means that =1 is active by default. Tried out =0 by editing build.prop resulting in around 100 values. No real improvement...
I tried something different, booted stock 2.4.19 Archos Android and here you go: values around and above 400. In comparison you can see that it is a lot faster.
Maybe this is caused by the increased clock rate / "fluidity" of the new Archos firmware. Hopefully sauron will get his pad back soon. This seems to be a good chance to get even better performance on uruk.

Have you tried the Sibere kernels that are based on the 2.4.19 source but with uruk additions?

I just now tried Sibere_OCUV_SB from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17443339&postcount=2069
No problem with the undervolting, but something in his newer kernels seems to render my USB port useless, like the one I tried a few weeks before. On the other hand no positive effect with this on the 2D benchmark, around 275 as before. I remember a conversation between sauron and sibere speculating that Archos modification was not in the kernel but in the firmware.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the changes were in the libraries, especially libsurfaceflinger, libskiahw and libskia. You could try pulling in new versions of these libraries.

Slayer_Normal_OPO for CM12
The first profile I like to share allows smooth scrolling and normal Gaming without lags for CM12,
while being Battery friendly:
- SmartMax
- Stock Cpu Speed
- I/O: Deadline 512
- CPU Tweaks: Aggressive
Download: Slayer_Normal_OPO

Good idea. Hopefully people will explain their choices too so we can understand and learn not just copy.

What I use is a balance between performance and battery life. If you have such a powerful device you don't want it to lag just so you have an extra 30 mins screen of time...
My settings give you a stable and fluid experience while saving you some juice. On average I have 5-6 hours screen-on time and 2 days in stand-by with wifi always on and using 4g.
What I use most of the time running CM11s:
Governor: zzmoove - optimal
Scheduler: zen
Hutplug profile: optimized
Touch boost frequncy: 1190 MHz
AC charge current: 1800 mA
The rest is stock.
Have not experimented with GPU yet, curious about everyone elses findings

I am against screenshots. People will probably post the best result they ever got and brag about it, which is not that interesting. Battery life depends on many factors, like wifi and 2g/3g/4g/no data and your reception of both, if you've gamed and your number of apps. I'd rather have everyone posting their average screen-on and stand-by time with a context. For example: on average 5-6 hours screen on time, 2 days of stand-by time with wifi always on and using 4g.

The first profile is the one I use most of the time. Stable and battery saver, is my good compromise between fast response, with undervolting and underclocking. The second I use for gaming, it automatically activates with Tasker. I can not share my file to avoid the obvious problems related to undervolting because we have different grades of cpu.

Trying this for everyday light use and haven't come across any hangups so far. Just flashed this kernel a couple days ago so this is my first run.

Hi guys, I just tried PhrAok's config, but I may did anything wrong because my phone freezed and rebooted after quitting boeffla app, and at each reboot.
I tried to wipe dalvik cache, flash my rom again and delete boeffla app, but still freezing after reflashing boeffla...
Anyone have an idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Instead embarrassing, for next time with kernel 2.0 beta 18 you can reset all settings due to a configuration problem with boeffla-config-reset.zip in boeffla-kernel-data folder, flash in recovery.
if you don't already done, maybe you should delete the boeffla-kernel-data folder that contains the profile that you had previously registered before reflashing boeffla kernel.

Thanks, it worked like a charm !
I did not knew that a reset file was on the phone, I looked on the web for a similar file that I had on my S3 (called ultimate kernel cleaning script), but I didn't find anything...
Thanks again !
