Collin_ph battery tweak V3 RC2 is released!

In case you don't already know, this script is written for CM6 roms, but has been ported to many others. The main purpose is to increase battery life and performance of the phone it's running on.
To install, simply download the file in the link below, copy it to your SD card, reboot into recovery and flash it.
As always, the latest version still can get around 24+ hours of battery life with normal usage under CM6 on a HTC Hero.
I only test this tweak on the Hero CDMA, but it's possible that it works on other phones. I really do expect that this will be the last version of V3 and will become "final" one we've verified that it works on all phones.
New features:
Allows disk scheduler changes for even faster disk access.
CFS Tweak (disabled by default) modified to play nicer with GPS.
Collin_ph Battery Tweak v3 RC2: http://www.primoweb.com/froyo/collin_ph_battery_tweak_v3_rc2.zip
Documentation: http://www.primoweb.com/froyo/battery_tweak_v3.html
Please check the doc page often as I've not yet updated the battery tweak from other versions yet.
Please note, if you're new, there is a lot of features that aren't covered here, such as the ability to configure nearly every tweak within battery tweak, so PLEASE check out the docs. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks!
Thanks to:
Decad3nce for porting rc1 to the eris, and for working with me to develop this release.
Tomatosoup for helping work on the next release which will be called tweaktool.
There's not much there now, but keep your eyes peeled on tweaktool.com -- once that tool is available, it should work on many more phones and be available on the market.
NOTE: Several users have let me know that they are getting marked improved performance by changing the scheduler from "ondemand" to "interactive" through the custom settings. The "ondemand" scheduler is the default in RC2, but will most likely be replaced with the "interactive" scheduler in the final release. You may consider choosing a custom option at this point and changing the scheduler to "interactive". I'd appreciate any input you may have on this subject.

WEWT!!
wewt! you the man

Thanks so much! I'll give this a shot on ZenEXP tonight and let you know how my battery does tomorrow.
So in this update do I still have to run batt-cfg to get everything set up? Also, can I check if it's working the same way? (pidoff bat.sh?)

You don't have to run batt-cfg, it should run as is unless you want to tweak the settings. and the command to check if it is working is pidof batt.sh

Love the battery life I get with you battery tweak. Just installed the rc2, thanks for the awesome work.

So I was looking through the batt.sh code and saw that swapiness was set to 0. Does this imply that paging in/out drains battery?

Is there any typos in this release? lol jk.. but really

Is using this tweak with the #14 uncapped kernel ok? should i delete setcpu, before i flashed this tweak i was getting 4.8 linpack after install it went to 3.9 what am i doing wrong lol

Make sure you delete set CPU if you're using this tweak. They don't work well together.

After going over the script code, I noticed that the governor is set to "ondemand". Does that provide better battery life than "interactive"? Also, what is the purpose of the disk tweaks? When they were enabled, my battery life was horrible. Perhaps because I use Darktremor's A2SD?

IMO, it really depends on your use.
If you use very intensive applications, you'd want your processor to jump to max right away(ondemand). But lets say that you just unlock your screen to send a quick text, interactive would be a lot better.
Interactive, overall, will always have better battery life. The problem is that it sometimes 'sticks' to the min freq before ramping, making garbage collection crap out something fierce.

I see. I can't say I've noticed the slow ramp-up with "interactive" before, but the note about garbage collection makes sense. But going back to my earlier question, I noticed that the disk tweaks simply amounted to mounting certain directories to new locations. Still unclear on how these increase performance/battery life.
As an aside, the dalvik VM heap parameter is equivalent to the JVM heap, correct?

[Kernel] Dragon-G2x v1.5.2 (CM7/Trigger) <Fix Boot on 173+> [10/19/2011]

APN Fix: The work here was done by cm_acree, I provided testing and reporting, nothing more. Thank him. I have noticed one issue testing this build, which could be my fault. Rebooting from the menu to recovery (I have clockwork installed) then rebooting from clockwork back to CM7.1 breaks data. Reboot from the power long-press menu, and it comes right up. But how often do we hit recovery?
FOR OTHER DEVS: To fix APN, grab the boot.img and use it's ramdisk in your build. That was the only thing I did to my kernel build to get this result. See the bug report here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...on Model Network Owner Summary Stars Priority
First off, big thanks to Faux123. This is based on his repo with a few tweaks of my own. I'll be adding more as we go on. And of course, he's welcome to pull any patches he likes from my github. Morfic also deserves top billing as of v1.3. I added a lot of tweaks from his code in the latest version.
Changes:
Added zram compressed swap support. I'll attach a script to turn it on and one to see what its status is. It's not like the older ramzswap that requires a special tool, everything is done through sysfs now. Very nice.
Added zcache compressed cache. This is a bigger win IMO, it compresses any compressible data in the cache. This means you can keep much more data in cache, which means you have to read it in from slow flash much less often.
Tweaked the low memory killer to take swap space into account, but only some of it.... This prevents swap thrashing while the system tries to kill processes and free up ram/swap. I also suggest using something like AutoKiller to set the levels to the best performance for your workload. We all run different apps and such, and that can affect how these things work for each user. There is no setup that is going to be perfect for 100% of users. Speaking of AutoKiller, I have found the advanced tweaks to help a fair bit as well. Don't use the memory management one, it overides your settings for things like swappyness. And the IO Scheduler doesn't do anything as we aren't using cfq. Unless you turn on cfq...
On Swap and compression:
While badly configured swap can slow things down, it's far more complex than people think. It also frees up RAM that's not being used frequently for apps that are. So your system can more efficiently use the resources it has. While compression does use some CPU time, our dual core 1Ghz+ CPUs can compress/decompress REALLY fast. Far faster than reading from the flash storage. In theory, this can affect battery life, though I haven't seen any significant issues from it.
Q: But we have 512M, that's a LOT!
A: Well, kind of... Not all of it is accessible to the kernel for running apps. 128M for the GPU, some for the cameras, wifi, etc... In the end, a little less than 400M is available. Then you have to add in system overhead from the kernel itself, Android's OS processes, etc.. That is quite limiting, IMO, so using it more efficiently is important to me.
Q: I don't like compression/swap.
A: Then don't run this kernel.

Great to see you back, ttabal! Been missing your work since the dragon kernels on the Vibrant. Always nice to find another dev working on the G2x! Looks alike a great start to an aggressive kernel, just what we need
You have any plans of working on a kernel based off the LG's OTA 2.3.3, the source was released last week?

Thanks bro. how do we run the script to turn on/check.

use a terminal emulator to cd to sdcard/scripts folder and type "su" then "sh enable_zram.sh" all without the quotes.... am i right? i did it and the command ran just fine and applied...

Unzip the scripts.zip and use gscript or Script Manager to run them... you can also just run them in a shell if you prefer. Lots of options. They are to run on the phone, not your computer.

Thanks man! Still getting up to speed on the OC options and such for Tegra, but looks easy enough. I'll be getting dirty later, this is just to get started. I've already got the source building thanks to Faux again, just need to get an OTA based ROM installed so I can test it. If only the dual boot thing worked on G2x, would save me some time. Owell. I sent that dev the info he should need to make it work... don't know what the deal is.
Anyway... nandroid almost done... time to try booting.

thanks ttabbal your way was easier... i am just used to shell... lol i was going to give him a breakdown of the script.... thanks....

I loved your stuff on the vibrant and hope to see more of the same with the G2X.

Awesome! Bring some of the Dragon love here to the G2X. My other Vibrants are still rockin' your kernels dude!

What should happen when i run script with script manager??
I get setting up swap space version 1 size =xxxxx

Thanks. Love seeing new devs

Excellent! Cant wait for one of your kernels. Feel free to PM or DM me if u need a test.
Glad you got the source compiling w/o issue (I know Faux was having major issues w/ that and maintaining stability), now u just gotta make sure you dont have the same freezing\"black wake screen" issue and you're solid. From what I hear, Tegra's CPU governor is really different from other chips, and its very sensitive\strict to voltage changes in between stepping (<=100mv per stepping). I'm running OTA (well, WeaponG2x, but thats OTA based) FT at the moment cause I use A2DP, but I jump back to CM every once and a while when major developments happen. Feel free to shoot me a test if u need another device to try your code on. More than happy to help!

How I recommend running EP1W

So I know there has been many threads on EP1W, but for what its worth I figured I would write a quick how to on getting a super fast set up using debloated simple TW4 that NEVER has force closes or reboots and remains outrageously smooth and fast.
So fast in fact when I went to Verizon today to check out the bionic, my EP1W charge felt just as smooth.
For starters I downloaded the EP1W debloated leak from TBH obviously.
I odin the leak and Imo's recovery from this thread (I already had the test voodoo kernel on SD card)
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...l-(leaked-stock-repacked-v2.0.0voodoo-9-8-11)
I booted phone initially then installed imo's 2.0 test GB kernel. (let the chipmunks do their thing, let the phone fully boot)
EDIT sorry I'm on 1.0.5 kernal I haven't updated, but read imo's post thoroughly to ensure proper flashing!
Next, and this is where the fun begins, go to hazards [how to][script] thread and scroll down to his second post and click the g-script link, follow those directions to get init.d into your system folder. You will need this for v6 supercharger settings to stick and loopy smoothness to work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216098
Once you have init.d in your system/etc/ you can start installing these awesome scripts, follow both the v6 and the loopy smoothness how to's on hazards thread.
Once you get to step 5 on loopy how to, you need to make sure to set your launcher value to :
USER LAUNCHER="com.sec.android.app.twlauncher"
This is your TW4 launcher
Also on another note instead of using option 11 in the V6 script, I recommend option 12, it just makes the launcher even more stable
Since doing all this I have been able to multitask with no hesitation, never had a FC of TW4, never had a redraw of any kind. I really recommend trying this and seeing for yourself!
Also, if anyone else has any other suggestions I am always open to hearing them, I'd like to keep this more of a discussion thread then a how to!

Currently you can't go straight to IMoseyON 2.0.0 Voodoo from stock EP1W (both bloated/debloated). You're going to get sdcard errors. Take a look at the discussion in the very thread you posted.

My bad I updated op I'm on 1.0.5, and regardless I am just posting my experience I still assume people will read the other threads to know what they are flashing.

Yea no worries, just sounded like you were giving a step by step and its a bit more complicated than that.
But on that note, if you're on the old test kernel, you should try out his new true Voodoo kernel (2.0.0) - huge improvement in speeds. If you're already all ext4 u can flash 2.0.0 directly.

Cool thanks ill load try it now
EDIT: Yeah 2.0 kernal is sweet, even faster, which I didn't think was possible!

I have a very similar setup. Installed bloated but debloated using TB. Running 2.0 on kernel. Got SuperCharger v6 installed, but can't get loopy to show up in init.d so not running it. Using Go Launcher. Radio is about as fast as ever. Quadrants of 1921, 2122, 2197, 2204 (in order). Got 160 apps installed. No lag anywhere. Haven't encountered an error in the 2 days I've had it. By far the best the phone has ever run.
Frankly prior to this I probably wouldn't have recommended the phone - THIS is what I paid the money for.

This config is the fastest, most stable setup I've had on any Android device. I was using P3Droid's debloated EP1W. I loved the look and feel, but was getting lots of random reboots. I know this guide doesn't say anything "new" per say, but I appreciate the consolidation of the tweaks.
Thank you!

I did similar install but was having issue with constant buzzing and high pitch noise during every phone calls. As I understand it, I'm not the only one with similar issue. Unless you guys choose to ignore it. I had to take it down.

[INFO] Achieving good battery life!!

I want to share my setup with you guys for getting good battery life which lasts the day without making you compromise on the features. The primary things I've seen on the forums so far has a lot of involved setup and frankly by the time you get it perfect, you will flash a new ROM and have to re-do a lot of it and so on, overall it's not the worth the hassle.
This is usually what my days look like and I manage to last the entire day:
I keep wifi and GPS on always, regardless of whether I'm using it or not.
Get a fair bit of calls because I live away from family so they all call a lot (I have a massive family, so we are talking about 5-6 hrs of talking everyday).
I like to read news from news republic and I'm subscribed to a lot of stuff there so I go through like 2000+ articles in a given day.
XDA like every few hrs (damn ICS!).
Text messages are also flowing throughout the day with the woman being on the other side of the country and all (100+ a day?).
I have facebook on push (not an addict but active enough to mention)
My gmail, school and exchange are all on push for email so they I see a fair bit there
The setup is VERY easy to setup and replicate. It doesn't require you to lose out on features or use your phone at an anorexic level either. You don't need a task manager or watch your processor non-stop either.
So without further delay, here we go:
Pick a ROM
I'm using Seanster_GBaxe EX v1.5.1 from the T-Mobile section, you can find it here.
Get faux's kernel
The reason for this particular one is because it's given the best results when it comes to undervolting and overclocking without SOD. You can find the kernel here.
Get System Tuner
This is available on market. There are alternatives but for this post, I will be making all the references from this app.
Get the AGPS patch from crypted
This isn't for battery directly but it does get locks VERY fast and you waste less clock cycles getting the signal. Less clock cycles wasted, more battery saved. The patch is available here.
I personally use the v3.0 Google CWM Build (scroll down his post and you will see it)
Get the V6 SUPERCHARGER from zeppelinrox
This is available here. Why the beta one? It works fine.
Okay, at this point you can pretty much store these things together in a neat little folder on your SD card because it makes a perfect library. So let's get started, I'll assume that we are starting from scratch. The order for everything will be as follows:
Get into recovery and install your ROM
This I shouldn't have to explain, the instructions you can find on the ROM thread.
Install the kernel
Same with this, read the kernel thread.
Install the GPS patch
Same with this as well
Boot into ROM
Hmm.... hopefully you can manage this
Restore all your backups and apps, accounts and whatever else
Using titanium here is always good
Install System Tuner
Okay, let's get started. Although faux has done an amazing job with the kernel, there's always the personal bias that goes into making things so his balanced settings might not reflect yours (nor mine but you will be tweak even those soon).
Inside System Tuner, go to CPU:
The first you thing you should choose is whether you want to keep the 1.72 GHz OC or not. I kept it but if you want to get even more you can lower to stock 1.56 GHz or go even lower, your choice. Once you set the max, set the min to 384 MHz. Set it once and you don't need to do it again after. Leave the governer to ONDEMAND.
Now go to the Voltage tab:
Be careful here, this can crash you if you go too far. What we do here is globally undervolt, you can do that by hitting the -12.5 mV button over and over. I use -75 mV (press the button 6 times, for those bad at math). Keep in mind that all chips are NOT THE SAME!!! -75 mV might be too much for you or you might even be able to get to -100 mV, find out by doing it.
Now go back to the CPU tab and hit Boot Settings:
Hit Screen-off behavior:
Governor - No changes
Max frequency - 384 MHz (push doesn't lag at all still so don't worry about notifications)
Max frequency/in call - 384 MHz (yes, calls don't require full blast, they work fine even under 500 MHz)
Now go back
Hit Governors behavior:
Sampling rate - Unchanged (faux has it done perfect)
Up-threshold - 75 (what's this? This means that the CPU will scale to higher frequencies when the load is above 75%)
Power-save Bias - 70 (what's this? This means that the CPU will be "biased" towards lower frequencies when load is below 70%)
Setting the Power-save Bias higher than the Up-threshold is obviously stupid so make sure you did it right.
Now go back
At the bottom, there is a whole bunch of tweaks:
Hit Re-apply CPU settings, choose init.d script (you can choose boot too but init.d works 100% of the time)
Hit Boost app loading, choose init.d
Hit Clear cache, choose init.d
Now go back
Find the Startups section and disable whatever you don't want running at boot (this is purely a personal thing).
Install V6 script
His instructions are very good so I'll assume that you have gotten it installed. Once you have it running, choose option 9, the 1000 HP one. Reboot. Run script again, make sure you've got it at 100% supercharged. Done. Reboot just to be sure again.
All done! Now, I know that was lengthy but here's the awesome part. Make a titanium full backup of System Tuner and you NEVER have to do that again for ANY ROM as long as you use the same kernel!! The script is unfortunately the only thing you have to re-apply, probably that has a quick setup too but I'm new to it so I can't give you shortcuts on it.
Hope you have luck with this and it works for you. I promise nothing and if you break your phone please don't come crying to me because you chose to do this yourself. It works for me so I shared it!! Any suggestions are welcome of course.
Note: NO task manager required!! I will modify this for cm7 if needed.

nice job. thanks a lot!

You're using the rc6.1 correct?

Thanks for the detailed write-up.
Are you in an LTE market? A full day on LTE would be pretty awesome.
For the screen-off behavior, do you think one can get away with using the smartass governor instead?

I'm using the RC6, tad older I guess.

I'm not in LTE area :-(... Would be nice because that's why I got the phone but then I had to move so can't say anything about LTE.
As for smartass, what kernel are you using? Smartass works very similar to the modified ondemand settings that I set up so it wouldn't make a difference as far as I forsee.

I tried this, will post results later. Thanks for the great tutorial

If you could post screen shots of your CPU Spy that would be helpful! How well does your phone do on going into deep sleep? On average from what to what time does yours last you? I'm just skeptical about setting the screen off behavior cause that usually prevents the phone from going to Deep Sleep.

You're right about the deep sleep, don't let it go into deep sleep. It lasts me 12 hours normally. I'll get you screenshots when I get a chance.

Dont you think the phone waste alot more battery though when it doesn't go into deep sleep? I've also found that WiFi tends to create a nasty wake lock. My set up is Sky ICS Speed with Faux Clock 1.296 ghz max -384 mhz min. -37.5 u/v LTE on all day, extremely heavy usage. 12 hour battery life on average.

From what I've noticed with the faux kernel, it goes into deep sleep after some time on it's own, regardless of the screen-off behavior. I haven't opened up the source to check it out for a better explanation but that's something I doubt is worth exploring since the performance doesn't take any hit.
I haven't chosen to underclock to 1.2 but it should do better than the 12 hrs I get now if I did do that. I have a tendency to start GTA 3 and start playing whenever I get bored so that's why I went OC rather than under. For others looking strictly to use the phone with minimal gaming, this would be a good option. LTE isn't available in my area so I can't test with it but the WiFi radio uses just as much battery as the LTE, if not more I have a feeling.
Trying eugene's kernel from today to see if the lionheart governor does better than the current setup. I will know in a couple of days because every ROM flash needs a couple of charge cycles before it accurately shows battery status.

Do you get any SOD? Everything working okay? Is the setup different than what I've got up there? Would like to know and try it out, can update the OP accordingly.

Just finished with eugene's kernel and the results were pretty disappointing. Looks like the second core is always kept on regardless, faux's kernel turns the second core offline until usage demands need it.
If anyone knows how to tweak eugene's to stop that from happening, do share.

Can you clue me location of his latest ROM? Or is it somewhere in the Macnut thread on TMO side of the fence?

Using darkside ROM at the moment with the faux kernel, had the Eugene kernel but I noticed that the second core is kept alive regardless of usage and that wasn't helping so I changed back to faux.

thanks for the awesome write up!
Did it last night, and lasted the day without a sweat! However, my min frequency wont stick? I have it set to stock frequency 1.5, using faux kernal, and my voltages arent as low as yours (im not a crazy user like you.. maybe an hour of talking a day, lots of texts and emails tho), but i cannot get my min frequency of 3xx to stay. Suggestions?
Thanks!
edit- running stockMod v1.0

im sorry, i have a hard time believing you talk for 6 hours and scroll thry 2000 pages of web and get a day of use. I myself could get about 1.5 days on battery strictly by staying home, connected to wifi all day and barely talking on the phone. i would like to see a screenshot of battery usage at the end of your day

LG g2x eagles blood ICS

Hello
I have installed Eagles blood ICS 4.0.4 but after that I feel performance is very slow and battery discharges fast.
pls can anybody help me to improve performance.?

What was your flashing procedures? Did you do a FULL wipe to include format/system under mounts and storage? Did you flash a kernel with it? Gapps? I use the same ROM and its one of the fastest roms I've used and by far the fastest and smoothest ics for this device

I've actually found that out of all the ICS roms, this discharged battery the least.* Lag does happen, but it comes and goes (welcome to G2X hackfested ICS+ roms)
*Pain-N-Panic, does this rom ever go into an extreme deep sleep for you if left unattended? My main problem was that my alarms wouldn't go off at the right time, they'd only activate after pressing the power button to wake the device up.

Woah, no sir, not at all. That's a serious problem lol. However, I do not use my phone as an alarm so I can't honestly say so. One of the best things about this ICS ROM compared to some of the others is that it comes with a great kernel that can be overclocked and undervolted. I run mine at 1000 max and 216 min and undervolt everything at -50 with SetCPU. With this setting my battery life is on par with stock CM7, which in my opinion has the best battery life of any ROM for this phone. Another little goodie to add to this rom is the Lag free/dalvick fix. It's a build.prop mod that can be executed with script manager. You can find it in the g2x android development forum. However, if you decide to use this mod i recommend adding the scripts to your build.prop manually on your pc or text editor on your phone. I used the build.prop file that came with the mods pre-loaded and it actually slowed down the device a little. When I added them manually, eaglesblood has never ran smoother or been more snappier.

Haha, I wisened up and went back to CM7 and got an alarm clock.
I've seen the build.prop mod, but with CM7, it's not needed
If I do ever need my ICS fix, this would still be my go-to ROM.

Yup, I switch back and forth from cm7 and eagles blood as well. Whenever I need a working video camera is when I flash back to cm7. Wish they could get working video on ics.....damn drivers! Although the lag free fix isn't needed on cm7 it can be used if you wanna try it out. I myself have never tried but plan on doing so whenever I go back to it

I just followed procedure mentioned in the eaglesblood thread for this ROM.I did wipe/format and installation through CWM(but dont know is that a full wipe or have to do something more?) .I guess i flashed kernel as it is different from my previous GB.Also I did flash Gapps mentioned in the forum.
then I run script tune.sh mentioned in the thread for lag free runing using sm manager and keeping 'Run in root' option but no luck it's having lag.battery discharges within 8-10hr.How much your battery last for if you keep wifi,bluetooth options on?

Can you tell me how to and what to put in build.prop manually?

If you're keeping wi-fi AND bluetooth on, continuously, then 8-10 hours of battery life is to be expected. I never use blue tooth and I keep data and/or wifi OFF unless I am using it at the time. Once I finish using the internet for whatever it is that I am doing I shut it off. Instead of giving you a tutorial, I can just post a copy of my build.prop and you can use that instead.

I'm also agree to a--c and have observed same deep sleep issue don't know because of what but sometimes if we keep it unattended it goes on deep sleep. And in that case I have to remove battery,replace and restart.

Are you running stock or custom kernel? Do you have a CPU app? If so, what is your cpu clocked at (both min at max)?
Here's my build.prop file:

Thank you pain-n-panic.I just have to copy this build prop file and paste it in the folder where the previous build prop is,right? or their is another technique for that to do?
and about cpu it's clocked at 216Mhz-1.41 Ghz..kernel is 3.034-egb_p999-5 so my guess is it's came with EGB rom.

Call Audio
Does the call audio work in this ROM?

Yes, I like to use Root Explorer to navigate around my system files and folders. All you have to do is drop the build.prop into your system folder and hit yes when it asks you to replace the existing build.prop file. MAKE SURE that you read the directions in the thread and that you set the permissions correctly on the modded build.prop file. I do not recall what they had me set the permissions to but that is very important for you to set the permissions correctly on the modded build.prop before dropping into your system folder.
I figured that was the case....your CPU is maxed out at 1408. This is why your battery life is weak. Drop is down! 1015 mhz max WITH undervolting I still get smooth performance and great battery life. There is an awesome tutorial I read posted somewhere in the g2x forum about how to properly undervolt your device. Its a pain in the butt when you're in the process but so worth it in the end. Try searching it and giving it a try if battery life is a main concern for you.
YES call audio works on this ROM!

Yup. I like 4.0.4 much better than 4.0.3. I used 4.0.3 for about 20 minutes and flashed back to 4.0.4, never even made a phone call so I can't honestly say how calling works on that ROM. I use 4.0.4 as my daily driver and calling works just fine.

Hmmm, is there any chance that the video recording can be fixed?

Nope. Video recording/playback is broken on every ics/hackfest for our device. We don't have the proper drivers
