Guys, could u please include in our kernel deep-sleep and fast dormancy patches?
u know that its not so hard. sure, i can do it myself, but i dont want one else toolchains and kernel trees on my laptop lol. deep-sleep and dorm succesfully work on moto atrix now with 2.6* kernels
also please include stat timers in kernel configs in future?
Would you like fries with that?
Can the kernal make me sandwiches too? You know its not very hard to do just three slices of bread, toasted, Mayo, lettuce, tomato but only if its fresh, two slices of Turkey and two slices of cheese. And cut into triangles with little toothpicks holding them together.
And just to proove I'm not a jerk: please.

I can get 8 days battery life just leaving my G2x sitting there. That's proof enough that deep sleep don't do sheeeit.
Oh come on people, those requests are completely valid. Though, OP, next time don't "of course I could do it myself".

They're unnecessary and since no one had ever used those on a G2x kernel before, I'm assuming it would take time to figure it out. Time that would be wasted since the two things he is requesting don't help our phone at all. If he can do it himself, then he'll do it himself.
Well, those patches should increase the battery life which is pretty bad on our phone right now. My 1980mah battery did improve the situation a little, but it still doesnt come close to sony ericsson x10 or nexus s that i owned before.

I haven't really had any battery life issues. I charge my phone at night, and then use it all day.
If I go crazy with games and tethering I might have to plug it in for a few minutes during the day, but battery life doesn't seem any worse than other phones.
Just so the OP doesn't think I'm dogging on him, there are kernel patches I've wanted before also. I'd like a kernel that supports netfilter patches so I could use a nicer wifi tether app:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/FAQ
But, if it can't or won't happen, I'm fine without it. If I could do it myself, I wouldn't post about being too lazy to do it.

ok, ill start by saying im only just now getting into how the Linux kernel works on ARM devices, so i might need a real dev to confirm some of this...
deep-sleep is just a name for a sleep state on some chipsets (i think Samsung mostly uses it) tegra2 has sleep states as well, infact we have a few (LP2 and LP3 just off the top of my head) and deep-sleep is not really needed on our devices (if its even possible to implement on this device)
tegra2 as a chip itself is perfectly capable of sleeping, and does so very well, NVidia even went so far as to make their own proprietary "governor" (if you can call it that) to control speed and voltages, as well as shut down a core when its not needed. so rest assured that when its not needed, our phone is already using as little power as it can.
with regards to fast-dormancy, seeing as the base-band/radio chip in our devices is already 'flaky' at best, do you really want you phone doing the equivalent of going into 'airplane mode' every time its done sending a message? plus, unless t-mobile can use an optimized version of it (which i don't think they do) its been shown to actually increase network usage, and decrease battery life due to constantly negotiating network connections and disconnections.
also, im going to assume by stat timers you mean 'time in state', in which case that is a HUGE undertaking including rebuilding major parts of the kernel if its even possible on tegra chipsets. plus, its really only useful to see if your phone is actually sleeping, which there are other ways to do this, although they are a bit tougher.
and finally, i don't know how you meant you question to come across, put please try to be more considerate with how you phrase things. these devs, for the most part, are doing this because they want to. nobody is paying them to work on our phones (aside from an occasional donation from time to time) and they do have jobs, lives, and families outside of these phones. and despite how easy you say it is, ive been studying the kernel in this phone for almost 2 months now, pouring over forums, datasheets, and many many many versions of kernels by morfic and faux123 and im only just beginning to understand the basic ways that things are done.
hope this clears some stuff up
Thank Klathmon, for the explanation.
I am still kinda confused though, OP said Deep Sleep has been implemented into an Atrix kernel which has the same tegra chip. Maybe you are right and they just refer to one of the low power states as deep sleep. Also I tried googling for deep sleep in atrix and nothing came up
Thanks for detailed response. I think i understand all the subtleties.
So mods, please delete thread
ok i have been using harsh kernel with aokp rom for about a week and i have had the greatest battery improvement. I literally get about with music playing throughout the day, constant texting, some calls, and some games; I get about a day and a half of battery and sometimes more. Idk if its just me but I was wondering is anybody else getting better results or the same results is there something better then what I got? Does the hellfire 1.6 have better battery or better performance then the aokp?
No one ROM or kernel is the best. They are all different and good in their own ways. If you're curious about if another ROM is better for you, the best way to find out is by flashing it. If your asking me, the best kernel for me is a custom built from source version of harsh without the overclocking and with done of nordics scripts and optimizations built in. I also love aokp build 29.
Now the next 20 posts can be 20 different roms and kernels just like every single other thread just like this one.

lol yeah morfic's (autocorrect is going to destroy this country) i build most of what i use from their sources, and i frequently mix and match things. its just something i do for myself. while i could release it out for people, not many would want to use what i have. i add alot of broken and ugly things to system apps. i even remove entire parts of the framework sometimes because i dont use them.
if you just want the best of both worlds (speaking of harsh and morfic's kernels) you can just flash morfic's then flash harsh's and you will get some of morfic's IO settings to stay behind.
im double posting on purpose, harsh has stated that people should not be flashing his kernel over morfic's
so im gonna retract my last post. if you want improvements, your gonna have to wait till he implements them.

battery life
That sounds pretty good, batter-life wise.
I get through the day with moderate use... but when I am using it a lot, I am in the red by dinner time on HFS 1.6 with Faux kernel.
However, when i ran the Harsh kernel in HFS 1.5.. I had some real connectivity problems... I almost went back to 1.4, but then 1.6 came out and ruled.
If you are getting that good of batt life and no other problems- I would stick with it

wow thats the first time ive heard that lol. if its so stable then why does he have to issue so many "fixes" and "patches" or whatever to get stuff to work right? Matr1x works right the first time. matr1x is way, WAY more proven, and in the general consensus also more stable.

each phone is different and handles voltages and OC different so for you or anyone to say one kernel for a rom is better than another is completely idiotic, the best kernel for cm9 is the cm9 kernel unless u need performance in a certain area, thats where custom kernels can be better, reading the threads would tell you this so look who is the idiot now nub...
air kernel gets updated more than matrix so you really have no argument there...
air kernel gets updated more bc of all of the "fixes" and the develper's work is mostly copied from the work of other more talented people. and the OP here asked a question and we answered. your right that each phone is different. but i didnt see you take issue with the person who said that air kernel is more stable, or that cm9 kernel is good enough. they both also stated their opinions without the caveat which we all should know already, that each phone is different and the kernel that is best for one person is not necessarily best for another and that it really depends on your usage and customization preferences we should all know that by now. the OP just asked which was better and I think Matr1x is better. so now what

Clarification as to the why Im stopping
Echoa said:
I am not committed enough to this to do so. Havent even touched it since the last update and dont feel the need to, I really would much rather leave it as I do not wish to get very involved in kernel stuff, etc.
I feel like posting source means I have intent to support, maintain, etc. this stuff and I dont. Its not just a matter of the posting source, its that I only posted the kernel because it was Fauxs and Codecrafts sources I used (only using the GPU OC from Codecraft) and since they shared their work so graciously I felt I should share my modified version of it. I dont want credit for work I didnt do because someone used my sources (which arent even really mine). Ive used github before and know how, its easy, but like I said I feel that would send a message I dont intend.
If there is someone who wants to actually maintain it i will gladly give you the source if you PM me.
TL;DR Im not leaving the kernel scene just because of source posting, its because this was just a fun little thing I did and dont plan on doing that long.

you can't "port" a kernel. but you can build a kernel from n5 source based on that kernel source.
if you don't know how to build a kernel, and not just building a ready made kernel, then you have quite a bit of reading and getting educated(educating yourself even) first.
Well i guess i was hopin someone a little more educated than myself could help me through it.
I do wish you much luck though, as I'm the wrong person for help

it'll involve quite a bit more than cherry picks, as the kernel, and all the numbers involved in the kernel, are for a nexus 7. the far majority of things would need to be changed/adjusted for a nexus 5.

that's what I was getting to in my first post, but was trying to be easy on the op as possible
we have more ROM builders than kernel builders for a reason, because its much more involved. while it is very possible to build this kernel for the n5, it would be extremely difficult and time consuming(changing numbers and testing) for someone who has never built a basic kernel.
maybe he can talk the original dev into building a n5 variant. or talk a n5 kernel dev into it
I understand. The the original dev has been having some health issues and just got back to deving again, i really didnt want to bug him when hes already working on his own stuff,. But i assumed it wouldnt be too hard because he said it shouldnt take much modification. It would be nice if someone could do this, it is a very nice kernel. I get 7 hrs screen time with it and performance is amazing. I just thought it would be half way there considering the devices are similar

its a different device, period. you can not compare the two. on the n7, its very easy to get 7+ hours sot. on the nexus 5, you have to turn everything all the way down and not really use your device, except keeping the screen on for long periods. just because a kernel does well on one device, still doesn't give it a good chance on another. the best kernel for any device will be made specifically for that device. every device is completely different, has different hardware, has differently tweaked CPU(if the same CPU), has different powering and voltage needs, etc.. what can be used are the tweaks/mods he's using. but the chances are if its usable on a n5, its probably being used already.

Nexus 5 has a 2300mAh battery and a Snapdragon 800 at 2265MHz.
Nexus 7 (2013) flo has a 3950mAh battery and a Snapdragon S4Pro quad-core 1.5GHz processor plus doesn't have a phone radio as it's Wi-Fi only.
If you're comparing battery life between the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 you really need to do some more research.

na, its just junk you keep hearing repeated over and over. battery life mostly depends on how you use your device, how you personally set it up, what apps you use, and the quality data(or phone) signal you get. kernel might make a slight difference, but its not really much. changing how bright you keep your screen could make a bigger difference.
For one, i didnt say i thought id get those 7hrs on my n5 im not that stupid, you are just assuming that. all i was saying is thats pretty good even for that device. I understand their different but its not like im asking to build it for the galaxy s5, THAT would be way different, get my drift?
Screen and radio are the biggest 2 drains... Keeping the CPU ramped up can do a lot too and although that is controlled by the kernel, the settings in the governor can change how the kernel controls the CPU.
Many people assume that kernel x is better on battery and kernel y is better in performance but really the difference is that dev x and dev y set their default settings for the governor in bias to battery and performance respectively.. May user can make kernel x bias toward performance and kernel y bias towards battery, the opposite to original config.
Sure some optimisations outside of this will halve small impacts over stock but devs share a lot so they're usually available across the board.
