[ROM-DEV] 04/27/10 | Fresh Toast v1.1 | BFS + Full Scaling Overclock + EXT4/a2sd Fix

Geek 4 Me is proud to release
Fresh Toast v1.1 by toastcfh and flipz
First off let me remind everyone that this is a dev rom. Meaning it is a proof of concept type rom and is NOT going to be fully functional. This is built on the .27 kernel which means no camera and no light sensor (causing bottom lights to not come on). With that said...!
New features in 1.1:
Full scaling overclocking. You can now use setcpu to set the speed. Anywhere from 245mhz to 767mhz - toast. Thanks to phh and maejrep for their help. Download setcpu from the market for $1 or free here. Note: When you set it up and asks for device, scroll all the way to the bottom and pick custom!
BFS (Brain **** Scheduler) version 316 has been added and customized. This dramatically reduces latency on the phone. While it doesn't increase benchmarks it will really increase the usability and smoothness of the phone. Go here to learn more. -- toast. Thanks to maejrep for help.
Fixed apps2sd and ext4 not working together
Removed AutoKiller. It will likely still show up on peoples phones because it's on your /data/ partition but I decided to remove it after I realized it was reporting location and who knows what else. I already created a modified version that leaves the ads for the developers sake but strips the Flurry reporting however it's not playing nicely with installing. I'll get an update.zip posted when I figure out it's problem. -- flipz
Found and fixed a bug in HTC/Sprints code that was causing 99% cpu usage, draining battery, and causing overall slowness. This bug doesn't seem to affect everyone however it was affecting me big time. It exists in every Sprint 2.1 RUU based build. --flipz
Features:
Custom kernel -- toast
OVERCLOCKED to 767mhz -- toast, with help from phh and madcoder
Compcache and ramzswap enabled -- toast and flipz (? and ? if you don't know what they are. **read warning below)
Ext4 support -- toast (has many benefits over ext3. ? for more info)
Fixed vanilla lock screen (including airplane mode/emergency call glitch) -- flipz
Some modified artwork (toolbar and selector, because toast loves it) -- flipz
Newest autokiller (more info on this app: http://geekfor.me/faq/autokiller)
Disabled home screen menu from popping up when using menu button to unlock --flipz ( patch to disable menu to unlock if you prefer: http://geekfor.me/fixes/bugfixes-requests-lock-screens)
Uses Fresh Rom 2.0d as it's base so all other fresh rom features are in here -- flipz
Not working:
Camera
Light sensor (causing bottom lights to not come on)
Please don't ask when these will be fixed. The short answer is they require the new kernel to work on Android 2.1, however we can't enable all these cool features on the new kernel until we get the source from HTC... again. But as always, toast is working on fixes. So buy him some coffee.
Compcache/ramzswap questions:
How do I make it work? Your sdcard must be partitioned with a swap partition. Most anyone running apps2sd will have this already. Other than that it's automated.
How do I know if it's working? Open an adb shell and type in "free". If you have "swap" listed with any numbers next to it, it's working.
What is required to run it? A class 6 sdcard is highly recommended for speed and stability
How do I disable it? Just delete or rename the script at /system/etc/init.d/compcache.sh to anything else and reboot
**Will this wear out my sdcard? Just like apps2sd, ramzswap puts extra strain on your sdcard. If you are using a decent sdcard then it shouldn't be a problem. Many professional grade HD video cameras use sdcards as their medium, and they don't burn out. If you are using a low quality card then this may cause it to prematurely fail. Do not blame us. You have been warned!
Overclocking questions:
How do I know if it's working? This is hard to prove, other than to say you can run benchmarks and clearly see it. Any CPU applications (including setcpu and OC widget) are going to continue to report the stock speed of 528mhz. Full scaling IS coming soon which will allow you to select the correct max speed.
Will this hurt my phone? Toast and I have been running this for days with no ill effects, even when stress tested for hours. There were no crashes, no errors, and no significant heat gains. However, like always, you are doing this at your own risk and we can't be held responsible.
Do I need to use setcpu/oc widget? They will provide you 0 benefit. The phone has HTC's power manager enabled which means it will throttle up the CPU when it's needed, and throttle it down when it's not. As mentioned above, full scaling is coming soon which will allow you to adjust the speed through those apps if you choose.
Make sure you are using a temperature monitor if you are overclocking and watch your temps.
How do I flash this rom?
It is very likely that you can flash this rom on top of Fresh 2.0d without a wipe and have it work without any issues, however the following procedure would be recommended (assuming you have a class 6 sdcard).
Boot in to RA and do data wipe
Format your sdcard with 32mb swap, 512-1gb ext2, and the rest fat32
Convert ext2 to ext3, and then ext3 to ext4
Flash the rom and reboot

No, sorry about the confusion. Just meaning it has the working vanilla lock screen including the fix where the emergency call button would show up after being in airplane mode. And no it's not AOSP, it's based off of fresh rom. It says that.
Goodnight all!

It does seem faster especially in sense

Love it and you all, in a very manly way!

You guys are bad ass, flashing now. Thank you!

How's battery life?

Yeah the question above me ^^^^^^^

Try it and see?
Technically battery life should be about the same as whatever you're getting now. The speed increase is 'on demand' so unless you spend all day doing cpu intensive tasks (and no, phone calls aren't cpu intensive ) you should be fine.
I'm going to wait for the .29 kernel source to be released before I play with this. Unfortunately I need my camera.

Nice! Would you mind sharing your settings/setup? You are currently kicking my phone's trash.

Trying it just to give it a shot but not keeping it till I get a class 6 card. Noone in my area sells them. Max is 4 atm. Hate living in an area where technology can only be acquired online.

Significant Battery Drain, High CPU Load when Idle

I just got my Thunderbolt yesterday, and so far, I love it. But I've been seeing the battery drain far too fast. According to the stats, it's been awake for a little over 2 hours, not doing anything significant, and the battery is at 60%.
I think this might have something to do with the CPU usage.
If you look at this top screen on the device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The CPU is mostly idle, but the load is >6. I'm not sure what would case this, but I suspect it's related to the power drain.
Anyone have any ideas?

quick q. do you use a lockscreen with pattern lock or PIN or something?

your best bet would be to use system panel, the paid version unfortunately, to analyze a period of a few hours and it will show you a break down of each and every process that hits the CPU, and how much it used, etc all in a very nice graphical view. its similar to the top command, but much more helpful.

I do (enforced by company policy). Do you think that's related?

Ahhh, I've seen stuff like this on Linux servers before.
In one case, all the system processes were idle, but the load spiked to 25.00 during intensive disk writes. As it turns out, all of this processing was packed invisibly into the kernel; I was using software RAID at the time, and the RAID5 subsystem has to calculate parity bits for written data. So that's what was hogging CPU -- that, and the fact that my stripe width was 1 MB, probably way too big.
In another case, there was a kernel bug with the development kernel I was using (I think it was an -rc of 2.6.32) where something in the kernel core was constantly awake -- an infinite loop or livelock or something.
There's certainly the possibility that HTC and Verizon might have both missed something as glaring as that, but then their testing would have revealed markedly low battery life -- could they ship the device in good conscience in that state? WOULD they?
Basically, you can get high "load" in top even when it doesn't correspond to a userspace process or a labeled kernel thread. Things that contribute to load include:
1. Context switches (between user and kernel)
2. I/O (i.e., network, disk)
3. Kernel activity, both within the main kernel binary and in modules
4. CPU activity in userspace processes
Unfortunately, the process list in top doesn't always jive with the numbers in the load, because not all of the things that contribute to load can be attributed to a single process.
For example, if there's a kernel bug, and a single syscall from a userspace process foo.bin costs an unreasonable number of context switches, the CPU will spend as much time as it can trying to context switch to satisfy the syscall. I suppose if there were a "kernel" task in top, you could attribute the CPU time to that, but it wouldn't be fair to blame it on "foo.bin" because all the work (the context switches themselves) is being done in the kernel. That's just one possible example.
Oh, I forgot to ask: are you root? If not, you may not see processes reported in top that are owned by other users. So you might not even be getting the full picture of the userspace processes running on the device, let alone kernel tasks and other less tangible effects.

Before I rooted, I had System Panel installed and everytime I checked my CPU was at 99% and full 1024 on the clock.
After root, my CPU drops into the 1 digit %'s all the time, CPU speed runs between 600 - 1000mhz.
edit: this is on the stock RUU and stock kernel

i am trying to run a couple experiments in the next day or two to figure it out. its crazy that battery life varies SO much for people.

Interesting info. I'm also a Linux admin, but I haven't really run into situations like this.
It is very odd that I see nothing in the user space that would cause this. http://pastebin.com/J4PwuMeZ Every process is sleeping, and nothing seems to be waiting on IO.
I suppose it could be an issue with the kernel. We'll have to wait and see what happens when the source is released and people start to release new updates.
I am root, btw.

You can set the CPU cores as dynamic hotplug mode, single core mode or fully dual core mode.
This provides easy and simple way to use.
[ Features ]
*Set on boot
Change mode what you selected automatically on boot time.
Menu > Settings
[ Modes ]
*Dynamic Hotplug Mode
Default. Recently, mobile multicore CPUs turn off extra core(s) to save battery life when system is not busy and only use 1 core.
They turn on extra core(s) when system is busy. so system use all cores again.
*Single Core Mode
Use 1 core always. A extra core is shut down. It makes battery life longer but performance is decreased. [ Battery saving, Idle mode, Phone not in use ]
*Dual Core Mode
Use 2 cores always. Performance is increased but battery life is shorter than others. [Example : Zip or Rar Extraction, Photo Editing App Fast Load ]
*Available kernels
- FM Kernel 1.5
- Abyss Kernel 3.1
- Tegrak Kernel Build 31 [ XXKL7]

My Note is flying anyway...
So, i have seen this application and i have a question...What's the meaning of this??I mean...The only reason i can find it usefull is the one core mode that it can battery.But why someone to enable 2 cores all the time??The cores is auto enable when something ''heavy'' running in our device.Why to enable it when otherwise?
If i am wrong please light me up...
Anyway, thank u @tids2k for sharing.You are our researcher...

Benchmark testing, mostly, though it also adds a little "pop" to application launching and UI performance in some situations.

Examples updated

And theoretically 2 cores are more efficient than 1 due to both running at a lower clocked speed than it would with 1 core.

At first I was thinking "right whatever mate" - but then I started thinking ... maybe bad idea?
Are there scenarios where this might be true? I'm not sure of by what order of magnitude power consumption goes up by when increasing clocks but I seem to recall my WinMo phone Xscales had an expoential increase - specifically doubling the speed of the processor quadrupled the power consumption. This could be complete garbage btw, it was a long time ago and everything, and have no bearing at all on ARM processors.

The poster of that comment is simultaneous right and wrong.
If you have a multi-threaded app, it may well run faster and use less power by running two cores at a lower speed. However, for a single threaded app or task, a 2nd core is *never* going to be used, so it would just run slower.
The 2nd Core app is quite clear that running 2 cores all the time is going to hose your battery. However, if you are multitasking many apps, running just 1 core all the time will likely mean that that core has to run at a higher clockspeed all the time in order to cope with demand, and could also hose the battery.

Dave

I gather that is the case from Dave's reply.
The thing is I hardly ever get below 50% during a days use (gotta love that Note battery!) so I'm looking forward to seeing what this does. I have the juice to consider it worthwhile.

I've been on it for a week and phone is flying fast. Battery drain is not that bad for me. I for one, love it

Great App
My note is super fast now and battery drain is less along with juice defender...
Fantastic app...keep it up mate
Try to make the home button awake lag less with this app if you can...only request...

I want to purchase tegrak ultimate, but I receive this error:

The device itself is working fine and great, not much of anything needed, not offense to any, but i like it the way it is , might be when we get ICS, we may have some core mod needed.

Stock Kernel Optimisation

Hello M2 users, y'all probably wondering what did I mean by the thread title above so I'll get straight to the point nice and simple.
Using a stock kernel sucks, any CPU Tuner will go bonkers adjusting frequencies only to see it revert to stock again. So, while browsing for ways to optimise performance and battery in the Xperia, I came across this guide (now updated to this) on our Interactive governor. While it's on a different phone, the explanations are clear enough to tell anyone that yes, this can be adapted so long as you are rooted.
So read the whole post to give yourself an idea on the functions available for you. I use Kernel Adiutor for this as it seems most reliable.
But first, go into your build.prop files and edit this code:
Code:
ro.min_freq_0=300000
Set the frequency to 300000 (300Mhz) and restart or your phone will always be stuck on a higher frequency.
Also in the Kernel Samepage Merging, turn it off. There isn't much of an impact between battery and performance so this function is useless.
So now head into the CPU section, towards Tunables and add the following values according to the screenshot.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
[/img]
This gave me 50% battery usage over 26 hours, with 5 hours of Screen on Time used by chatting, gaming, and web surfing. Pretty good looking at all the times I've run the battery with less usage.
Anyhoo, I hope these settings are useful for y'all and if anyone has any modifications to these settings please do share it with your results. This may perhaps be the only guide where we control the governor on a deeper level rather than taking it as it is, so let's squeeze as much juice out of this phone as possible.
Update: These are the settings I've settled with, no negligible battery life and not much of an impact on performance. The voltage tables for the SD400 looks to be dynamic so you can't get an exact reading and anyone who looks at it will suggest you buy a new phone instead >.>

Right now you can only add multiples for above_hispeed_delay and target_load. Just tap the space bar each time you add in new values and the app will auto-arrange it for you. If it still doesn't work, what kernel are you using?

I spent last week trying to study and understand those govenors.
Since yesterday, I was trying and tunning the stock interactive govenor
I didnt notice any major changes in performance but I was surprised by power consumption
Ex: I used to play Solitaire everyday more than 2 times a day, each time I spend like 1 hour and my battery drops like 10%
After tunning the interactive govenor my battery drops like 4-6%
Which means its much better than stock
I'm using EagleExperience rom which come with stock kernel
Anyway I just want to know your tunnables because the photo you posted is not opening
I want to compare them with my numbers
Thank you for this post and sorry for bad english

These are my current settings, the 300Mhz and 787Mhz share the same voltage and any higher frequency has the same voltage too so it's more efficient to use Sony's settings. The only difference in here is I used Intelliplug to better control how they ramp up.

Ksm off , no hotplug min:300 mhz max:1190 mhz
I am using this settings for now. I tried to lock 300-787 mhz for the my daily usage (whatsapp, youtube, cm browser, simple games like fun run) high frequences for heavy games, installing apps.
Is that config fine ? I tried semil's config its battery performance was great but i think it is slow config.

I try not to limit my frequencies since the point is to go high performance only when needed. I'm not sure about your config since I never turn off hotplugs.

How To Guide Optimise Stock Kernel Scheduler & Governor Setting

So, after months of using Pixel 7 family, surely we all know that Tensor 2 is not exactly the best flagship SOC in term of raw power or energy usage, probably due to it's "Exynos Genetics Trait"
that being said, doesnt mean it's down bad. And with some optimisation, we can always try to make it run better. One of the example is by seeing how much better it run on custom kernel. But what about other stock kernel user ?
Well, fortunately, as long as we have root access, the stock kernel still allow us to play with some parameter. And here are some tunables parameters that i use to balance the energy usage and responsiveness of the device. (my aim is 10% battery for 1 Hour of SoT and ±0-1% decrease during 6-10hrs idle)
If you want to know more about each parameters, you can google a lot of linux kernel documentation (like here for example : https://access.redhat.com/solutions/177953)
but for now i'll just write down the change and my configurations. (I used EX Kernel Manager to change the parameters) :
CPU Section :
Switch governors for all CPU clusters from 'sched_pixel' to 'shedutil'
Open "Governor Options" and change the 'rate_limit_us' for all clusters from '10000' to '0'
Open "CPU scheduler options" and use bellow value for respected parameters :
sched_wakeup_granularity_ns : 10000000
sched_tunable_scaling : 1
sched_min_granulatity_ns : 2000000
sched_latency_ns : 12000000
Memory Section :
Disable "ZRAM"
That's it for now. Try and feedback if you find any improvement in your energy usage.
I've been using it for weeks, and pretty happy especially with idle drain. As for SoT, normally i end up with 5-6 Hrs screen time when i down to bed with ±30% battery remaining.

Someone said that it reverts back once you reboot?

In the Franco Kernel Manager, there's an option to "keep" the new settings on a reboot. (Not sure about the EX Kernel Manager.)

Right, it reverts back for CPU Governor (Cluster 3) after a reboot. (with EXKM)

Then I tried with FKM and problem is the same.
I will see after the night how is my battery drain.
But i can't complain because i loose only 2 or 3% during night (8h)
(Bluetooth and 5G on) No wifi because 5G signal is good.
No custom rom, rooted, january update.

It's expected that it reverts back to default because it's controlled by multiple things. People shouldn't change the governor. There is a write-up on this in Freak's kernel thread.

Actually you can change the CPU governor from the default one to one of the additional existing alternatives.
The issue is just that the frequency scaling driver for the affected CPU cluster(s) will break if the PowerHAL detects that the Sched_Pixel governor isn't "there" anymore for doing the job that it is supposed to do.

I never wrote you can't change it, I wrote people SHOULDN'T change it to avoid the issues you mentioned.

You say to try to deactivate zram. Is there any real benefit? Zram is useful?

You save CPU cycles at the expense of additional vRAM.

If you use smartpack kernel manager there's an option to apply all changes with a script on boot. That's the way I've always worked with kernels that won't allow changes to stick on boot
