[ROM+Kernel] Inferior Human Organs unofficial CM7.1

[blarf]

Just donated, it's not much, consider it beer money

BTW, I'm now running 245-480 conservative governor given the info you posted earlier, it's still smooth enough for me, will see if the battery gets even better.

I would leave the max at 600MHz. Generally when coming out of sleep ondemand will jump to the max pretty quickly and ramp it back down. I'm using a widget to monitor battery temp and CPU speed, and you'd be surprised how little time the phone spends at maximum clock speed (even while playing music or using live wallpaper).

I'm just trying it out for kicks. For some reason I have in my mind the CPU, at max freq, is doing a lot of waiting for memory reads/writes, so the higher freq is wasted, especially considering that max voltage step (Power = CV^2f), voltage has an exponential effect on power use.

I'm willing to try a kernel set to something like below if you need testers. It seems like a simple enough change (along the lines of scheduler tweaking), and I'd do it myself, but compiling a new kernel is what holds me back.

120/122MHz: +2
200/245MHz: +3
320/400MHz: +4
480MHz: +5
600MHz: +6
Above 600MHz: +7 (max)

EDIT: I switched back to Ondemand governor 245-480, and it's just as smooth as 245-600. The Conservative governor seems to be a bit slower, and since Ondemand is capable of keeping the CPU under max anyway, I'll stick with these settings to see how it runs & affects battery.

Wouldnt it be easier to keep the script but remove the bootsound mp3?

I agree.

 

[danieljc1]

make sure when you rename the file to audio.mp3 you leave out .mp3. The file should already be a .mp3.

Just to be clear I should rename the MP3 file that goes in /system/media to audio not android_audio.mp3 nor audio.mp3

No android_audio, the .mp3 is the file type. Look at the file if it says android_audio.mp3.mp3 rename it to just android_audio.

OK. I'll do that. Thanks.

I'm using mrg's IHO build to see if I get any different battery life than I did with BACKside (no offense, Jerry... love your work!).

So far, the only issue I'm seeing is the WiFi bug. It randomly cuts out on me.

 

[narrow_minded#WN]

Here you go:

CM7GBStockLauncher.zip

I get an error when I try to insall that zip. :-(

I just flashed 8 -10 version of backside and I have the nexus wallpaper running but no way to pick a different wallpaper and livwallpaperpicker.apk wasn't in system/apps was it disabled or could this be just me? Edit? I did fix it and now I'm so happy that I got up and did a joy joy dance.

Still didn't work.

Running 8/10 version. It's freaking awesome. Great battery life (so far)...everything is smooth. I'm stoked.

Ok I had the same issue. Just updated to the 8/10 and no boot sound.

Here is how to fix it.
Make sure you are mounting in r/w mode on each of these steps.
Using a app like root explorer, goto /system/bin and delete the file bootsound.
Back out to /system now open build.prop in text editor mode, look for this text.

ro.config.play.bootsound=1

Delete it from the build.prop and save and exit.

This is optional but recommened.
Reboot phone.
Verify no sound is playing.

Now run the script again and reboot.
You should have a boot sound again.

Has anyone tried the XioniaRedux kernel with this ROM?

Blarfs r1.2 is better, I liked redux better until this update. The battery seems better with r1.2 and my phone is deffinately smoother

Success!!! It worked. Thanks.

Jerry, can you post that Latin package that you mentioned, either a link here or on the wiki under Binary?

Here you go.

What is the error?

So, yes, I there's a good reason why LG (and I) chose 245MHz as the default minimum CPU clock speed. It will lower power consumption. I will hide 122MHz from the CM interface because that simply is too slow to be useful (and you will have delays unlocking your phone and some missed phone calls).

I tried using my phone with min frequency set to 122 Mhz and using an app called 'CPU Spy', it says the idle state when I'm reading a static page (like a webpage, or ebook) is now 122 instead of 245. Because this frequency has a voltage step lower than 245 Mhz, it would conserve a bit more power for active-reading use (not playing games), which could potentially account for a majority of screen-on time for non-gamers.

I also noticed that calls come through just fine at the 122 Mhz, the time between the ringer & screen on is slightly longer (maybe 1-2 secs), but not in danger as to miss a 30-second ring window. So I would suggest keeping the 122 frequency option so it's available as an ultra-conservation mode.

starting the camera via side button or cam app restarts my phone on latest build




edit* my bad, uninstalled the 3rd party camera app fixed this bug

What's your overclock set to? The number one cause of camera crashes is too high of an overclock.

I just tested the button to be sure there wasn't an issue, the camera started up fine three times in a row.
