Kernel bypass...

What do you want most out of a kernel bypass, or a new kernel?
I figure that I want 1% battery increments lmao...I think Cyanogen is a given.
Want to know what y'all think...

MIUI? or maybe cyanogen. idk really what they look like. definitely 1% increments. and sysadmin im going to flash it now. it sounds interesting.

The Minimalistic Text Widget allows for a particular widget design that display the 1% increments.
This is a shot of my lockscreen and the Battery Widget would be the descending numbers to the bottom right.

Governers?

Ive used on demand for the most part. I've been trying out Interactive the past couple days and it seems just a hair snappier. I haven't noticed a negative impact on battery either.

Governors Explanation

Which ROMs are you using that have support for this new fangled smartass governor?
I'm currently running 7.0.0 with the stock kernel and I have access to all but smartass.

It's kernels, not ROMs, my friend.

Right, I am aware of the difference. I was curious as to which ROMs people were using that included the kernel, I didn't realise everyone had specifically flashed a smartass kernel.
Thanks for the clarification.

There aren't any roms that include this kernel. You flash separately.

I'm personally using drowningchilds 6-7 kernel, which has the smartass governor. The thread can be found in the aria development section
Sent from my cm7 Aria.

Drowningchild has a kernel for CM7 and one for Liberated. I use CM7 with the 6-7 kernel on smartass governor overclocked at 320-787.
On a side note, I did take the advice from drowningchild's kernel thread and it has proven to work: if you flash the kernel, do not flash the GPS old libs, as it will make your CPU usage skyrocket and you'll get horrible battery life.

My galaxy has never been this fast! Tip to others :)

My galaxy is blazing fast and battery is ok, this is what I did:
Clean install of ICS F4K mod R4 linaro + devil 3.0.84 linarI.
Then made following settings in devil kernel configuration tool :
Governor: smartassV2
Scheduler: vr
RAM: 403mb
ZRAM: on
ZRAM size: 150mb
Swappiness: 70 (default)
Devil idle: automatic
Smooth UI: on
Governor profile: normal
Ultra KSM: on
All other settings are default, no overclocking not OCing.
Then on the developer settings I turned in the GPU rendering.
This installations and settings are making my phone super responsive and fast. I hope it can help our fellows here which might be annoyed with laggy phones.
Good luck in trying it out.
PS- remember to back up your EFS folder before trying this out!

Stupid advertising...

Its a pity you see it in that way... I just wanted to give a helpful tip, since I've got much help from this forum. Regarding the comments in ROM and kernel, those are just my opinion. There are other amazing ROMs and kernels as well in here.

Where did you get devil3 0.84 from? -_- last I checked there's no GPU rendering option in devil kernel configuration

Those are kind of test version released by DerTeufel. You can find it in his threads. But not on the main page.

Smartass is slower than ondemand anytime.
Zram is lagging system for a better multitasking.
SmoothUI only works on Lulzactive.
UltraKSM is using more CPU and making overheads.
Force GPU rendering setting is making force close on apps and never increases smoothness.
Why EFS backup is needed before trying some simple settings?
Please do more than ticking some settings and research them before making a thread for telling that it imporives the performance like magic.
Ok open nstools and set this;
Governor: Ondemand
Treshold: %50
Sampling Rate: 20000

Isn't lulzactive better than ondeman? Its a little slower but more battery friendly. Because it scales up slowly as the CPU load reaches the particular percentage (you can set it up via nstools)
Edit: SmoothUI can be applied to ondemand, smartassv2, and lulzactive. I think lagfree too but not sure.

Threshold is a value in %. As soon as the CPU load is higher than the (up)threshold is, CPU scales up. The sampling rate shows how often the CPU scales(looks for the CPU load and decides to scale up/down or stay on the current frequency).

Hi,
i wanted to thank you for this fantastic Kernel.
Using it ont CM9 RC2.
I'm coming from Siyah, and Fluxi, but your Kernel just blows everything away. Best Battery Life of all.
And with the upcoming fixes, especially BLN, it will be even better! Good Luck with your exams! And keep up this Good work.
Adding some Screenshots of my Battery Stats, and still 30% left(kernel default settings):
Edit: Added 2 new Screenshots, resulting in a Screen-On-Time with 5h 11m. I'm very happy with that.

First try the default settings. If they are not good for your usage, you can try to overclock to 1200 and to change governor to ondemand or pegasusq..
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 con Tapatalk 2

This was my first full cycle with DarkKnight v1.9.2, and the SensatioN ROM 3.5. And these are my results.
On the phone i was basically using chrome and whatsapp. I have no widgets on my homescreen and used the default kernel settings without changing anything. Note that i have a different non-samsung battery from "anker" with 1900mAh.
I think these are pretty decent results for the first cycle so keep up the good work
Ill continue to test your kernel, maybe also with different roms like cm9 rc2.

This is another one of my longest screen on time. The uptime is just 7hrs+ tho, I think.
Ondemand & sio
Auto Brightness
200-800mhz

Hey, i can't post in the development section, so i'm asking in this thread:
flashed 1.9.2 today and can't disable the LEDs. if i disable them in the system settings they stay disabled as long as i don't lock the screen. after unlocking they are enabled again. hadn't that problem with 1.8.
cache and dalvik already wiped.
any suggestions?

How do you guys get such great battery with high screen time? I have brightness set to auto. Whenever I have the screen on I can see my battery % drop very quickly.

[POLL] Which CPU governor do you use the most?

I know polls existed like this before but I was curious which governors are most commonly used in my gingertiny and incredikernel kernels as there are quite a few options though looking at the list not too many. I didn't put performance on the list even though it's an option in my kernels or at least one of them as it's not great on battery. Feel free to post comments about why you choose it. My choice is actually smartassV2 but there are other good ones as well.

I voted for lag free, but smartassV2 is a close second. I have always used smartass and smartassV2, untill lagfree was introduced. Lagfree just seems to have a little better balance between speed and battery consumption, at least in my opinion.

Been using sa2 but switched back to lag free and all is back to being smooth on ics linaro.

Thanks for the read - It's tough to wade through all the differences all over the web, so seeing a single spot for all the info like that is great.

i use smartassV2, it seems to work better than the rest do for me

Using lazy on ics and jb roms, seems just as good as sav2 but with better battery.

How Important is it to change the I/O
After you choose the governor how important is it to choose the right I/O.

It may be worth giving interactive another chance in the latest incredikernel releases.
