Hi,
I have Xperia Neo V, GB 2.3.4, rooted, NightElf 10, codename_ei8ght, OC: 245-1400 MHz. Usually I use SmartassV2 + SIO (I don't know why SIO - I've been told to choose this one, so I did). I've also briefly tested many other governors, but to tell the truth, I don't see much real-life difference between them (apart from the CPU Spy logs).
The problem that bothers me is that I need to manually change the OC settings, each time I want to use an app or a game that don't need 1400 MHz. For example - when I want to play AngryBirds. The game works perfectly on 1000 MHz, so why waste the battery power and generate lots of heat? But any governor I know, will "give" 1400 MHz to this game. That's why I need to switch down manually before playing. The same thing with many other apps, like, for example - navigation. It's absolutely enough to navigate on 1000 MHz, but any governor will set the CPU to 1400 MHz when Navigation is running.
Looking for a truly wise governor, that would give as much MHz as needed for an app/game to run smoothly, but not more. Is such a governor even possible to create?
Thank you.
illinoi for
from my observation SmartAssV2 tends to change frequency too much: up, down, up, down. As I mostly want to get best battery life I decided to switch to Conservative - the phone is still responsive (i can't notice difference) but when I dont do anything seems to keep the frequency lower.
I still have problem what governor to choose for sleep state - now im testing PowerSave (so it keeps minimal frequence) so far seems to work (even worked while playing music).
IMO writing too complicated governors could only slow down the system, so it is hard task to decide in real time which frequency is still sufficient for smooth play and at the same time as low as possible.
Do all governors have "deep sleep" mode? Is it governor-dependent at all?
I have some problems with refreshing news widget - I discovered that it is never refreshed in deep sleep mode.
Can I disable deep sleep mode?
Thanks.
Hi all
Here are a few tips i would like to share wid u all. These tips will help u extract the maximum juice out of your androids
Starting wid the simplest one
TIP NO 1 - ENABLE EXTENDED STANDBY MODE IN POWER SETTINGS{xperia 2012 series only}
If u are on stock ics rom , go to settings, power management and check extended standby mode.
yes do it, this doesn't affects battery drain but enhance the standby time .
This helps to switch off wifi and data traffic when the phone screen is switched off for sometime.
Basic but most useful.
When this is enabled , u dun need apps like Juice defender or DS battery saver
TIP NO. 2 - DO NOT USE ANY APP KILLERS OR TASK MANAGERS
Most of us use task manager to kill apps running the background regularly.
But we may notice that most of the apps killed by task managers get restarted by themselves.
Thus all these app killers continue to drain battery and do the same thing all around,
These app killers will also make your phone laggy to some extent because of poor ram management
TIP NO. 3 - UNDERCLOCK
If u use your phone only for basic purposes such as messaging and calls then there is no problem in underclocking.
800Mhz would be fine wid minimum or no performance glitches.
This not only relives strain on cpu but saves battery.
I myself have underclocked this and belive me 800mhz does not affects the performace of most of the games(if u play)
TIP NO. 4 - USE GOVERNORS
There is no defination for governors but u can say these are the engines that control the cpu frequency time to time
There are several governors present most commonly used being ondemandx , conservative and powersave.
1: OnDemand Governor:
This governor has a hair trigger for boosting clockspeed to the maximum speed set by the user. If the CPU load placed by the user abates, the OnDemand governor will slowly step back down through the kernel's frequency steppings until it settles at the lowest possible frequency, or the user executes another task to demand a ramp.
2: Performance Governor:
This locks the phone's CPU at maximum frequency. While this may sound like an ugly idea, there is growing evidence to suggest that running a phone at its maximum frequency at all times will allow a faster race-to-idle.
3: Powersave Governor:
The opposite of the Performance governor, the Powersave governor locks the CPU frequency at the lowest frequency set by the user.
4: Conservative:
A slower Ondemand which scales up slowly to save battery. The conservative governor is based on the ondemand governor. It functions like the Ondemand governor by dynamically adjusting frequencies based on processor utilization. However, the conservative governor increases and decreases CPU speed more gradually.
go to this page to know more about governors
http://androidforums.com/xperia-mini-all-things-root/513426-android-cpu-governors-explained.html
For setting up governors (if installed) and underclocking use a free app like Antutu Cpu Master (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antutu.CpuMasterFree&hl=en )
TIP NO. 5 - DON'T INSTALL APPS UNNECESSARILY
This does not needs an explanation. Just remember that when apps run in background , they consume battery. More the number of unnecessary apps running, the more faster is the battery drain.
Keep only those apps which u use frequently and if u are a rooted user, delete all bloatwares, FREEZE GMAPS AND TIMESCAPE IF U DUN USE IT.
TIP NO. 6 - CHOOSE NETWORK MODE AS PER YOUR NEED
Whether you are using WCDMA or GSM network or WCDMA/GSM , choose it as per your need.
If u are on the internet only for surfing then use GSM mode and switch to WCDMA only if u need to download.
This as per my usage has the greatest impact on battery life.
to select network mode , go to settings>more>mobile networks>network mode
While surfing only (xda ) i use opera mini app wid GSM mode enabled and its very fast .
P.S. - charging your battery only when it is about to get exhausted belongs to old school now. Charge whenever u can charge
NONE OF THESE TIPS REQUIRES SOMETHING SPECIAL OR TECHNICAL TRY THEM AND U WILL DEFINATELY FEEL THE DIFFERENCE
I hope you like my guide, its not copy pasted , its not stolen from someone, its purely my experience.
If u find any discrepancy plz let me know.
Feel free to share your tips here and discuss your experience
Tuning Battery Life on Samsung Note 3 N900
I don't have a device anymore, but I still wish to share my experience and how I achieved 6 hours SoT with my typical daily usage on this phone.
This guide is for CM12.1 / AICP 10.0 (I recommend latter, it's the same CM 12.1 but with more options).
You can try this settings on aurora/stock ROMs with respective custom kernel (Suemax).
First of all, you need a kernel with Synapse support. This section is for CM12.1/AICP only! Don't try to flash these kernels if you are on Aurora/Stock - you'll have bootloop!
-- Download Stock and DJMax81's V2 kernel from this post and Suemax kernel from this post.
-- Make a backup
-- Flash CM12.1-DJmax81-Kernel-Lite-V2.zip
-- Boot your phone once and open Camera app to ensure it works.
-- Reboot to recovery and flash CM12.1-SueMax-Kernel-V3-By-DJMAX81.zip dirty. No need to wipe cashes.
-- If you encounter issues, restore backup or flash CM12.1-Stock.zip to return to the stock CM12.1 kernel.
Now you can fine-tune your Exynos!
First, disable touchboost. It's some sort of cheating Samsung use to make it's touchwiz not so laggy. On stock Android you simply don't need it, even if you set max CPU to lowly 250 Mhz, Stock Android UX is still decently smooth.
How to do this: open Synapse, go to the QoS tab. There are many, many sliders to control boost in different situations. Slide every one of them to the left. Now you gave full control of your phone freq to the governor.
This setting alone gave me up to 1 hour of SoT when texting or browsing. Because these are not demanding tasks and there's no need for CPU freq to ramp up.
Second, set min GPU speed to 100 MHz. This will save some juice when idle. Go to GPU Control in settings and set the corresponding Min freq slider to 100 MHz, then apply (you need to push the Set GPU settings button and a tick at the right top). You can also adjust Max GPU freq to suit your gaming needs. The more max GPU speed, the better gaming perfomance will be and the worse battery life in games (600 MHz stock value).
Third, let's go to Kernel Adiutor and here are some profiles for you that I found best!
Max Performance profile: Use zzmoove governor, max CPU speed to 1900 MHz, and at advanced governor settings set disable_hotplugging to 1.
Exynos hotplugging has rather negative effect on battery life as I found from my tests, you should never use it. If you are reading this and on Stock/Aurora ROM: disable hotplugging. It makes your battery life worse! Here is the test on Snapdragon 801, on Exynos hotpluging would yield even worse results because CPU with less core active will spend more time on unefficient A15 cores.
Zzmoove is the smoothest and fastest governor I found that still uses all available frequencies wisely.
That's the profile one should use for heavy games (and also set max GPU speed to 720 MHz in Synapse if you need it).
Performance profile: Use Interactive governor and max CPU speed 1900 MHz.
Interactive governor proactively ramps CPU to high (but not highest freq) to ensure great smoothness and still yield not-that-bad battery life (I had usually 4 hours SoT with 2G). For better fine-tuning you can go to advanced governor settings and set hispeed_freq to something in the middle, 800 MHz for example (but not lower than 800). hispeed_freq setting is the intermediate cpu speed which governor uses when there's initial load on cpu.
Balanced profile: Change governor to Ondemand, max CPU speed is still 1900 MHz.
You shouldn't worry, with touchboost disabled it would rarely ramp up to max speed, most often sitting on energy-efficient A7 cores and sometimes ramping to 1200 of A15, going even higher only when needed - still gives you whole power of your device without restrictions. DJMax81 did great job tuning this governor to our needs. You still can set max CPU lower (to 1400 Mhz) if you wish to conserve battery more on this profile.
Power saving profile: Go to Synapse and enable a slight touchboost: on QoS tab set CPU freq touchboost level 1 to 800 MHz (only the first slider). Then in Kernel Adiutor change CPU governor to Interactive. Set Max CPU speed to 1400. Go to advanced governor settings and set hispeed_freq to 400 MHz.
These settings are doing two things:
1. When not in use (e.g. you are not touching your phone), your device will use ONLY energy-efficient A7 cluster. So max 1300 MHz (it shows 650 MHz in Kernel Adiutor because A7 cluster is showing it's real freq divided by 2) with four cores - a performance level of middle-ground MTK device. Most often the phone will use 800 MHz freq of A7 (that's 400 MHz setting of hispeed_freq - a division by 2, remember)
2. When you are using device (actively tapping), touchboost will switch your device to A15 cores (starting from 800 MHz - at this freq they consume roughly same amount of energy as 1300 MHz'd A7) and if needed, interactive governor will ramp the freq even some more - up to 1400 MHz. When there will be no load, freq will drop to the minimum and system will switch to A7 cluster until next time you use it.
Extreme Power Saving profile: Disable touchboost, CPU governor is Interactive. At advanced governor settings set hispeed_freq to 400 MHz.
This makes your phone use ONLY energy-efficient A7 cluster no matter what circumstances. No matter what max CPU freq is set, interactive governor can't switch from A7 cluster to A15 (maybe that's a bug, but we'll use it). You can set max CPU speed to 650 MHz for sure, didn't make a difference for me.
Yes, it may lag. Yes, games are not playable. But we don't paint your screen black and white at least. Movies are fine, texting is fine, browsing too, 1300 MHz of A7 are still quite good - it's like low-end phone but with 3 GB RAM and AMOLED. Combine it with lollipop powersaving mode and GPU powersave bias (set in Synapse, always clocks GPU at 100 MHz). And your phone will go on and on and on...

Kernel Adiutor doesn't make profiles to share. You have to manually set parameters and then save profile for your device. That's only the guide of parameters to use for your needs.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm using TOS (a Chinese rom) now, and I got excellent battery life. The phone is still smooth.
If you're strict with battery life, TOS is really worth trying.

is that rom based on cm or touch wiz? probably cm coz of u mentioned gapps. But spen is working is doubting me that is touchwiz. Also how big is that rom? and is it prerooted?
that battery pics that u showed r awesome!
is it stable to use in everyday?
any lags? and free ram available?
tnx ! cheers!

Based on Touch Wiz. In China google is blocked so there's no gapps.
The rom is already prerooted, you just need to open it in Manage(an app)-Permissons-Root access.
It's 905MB.
Now i'm using it everyday, it's quite stable and smooth. And games (e.g. Hearthstone) are playable.
I don't know how to install Xposed, it errors every time I want to flash it.
As for free ram, I don't know how to check it in this rom.
i want to know that if this kernel works on flyme rom

Sir i have been already using ondemand governor but problem priciest i reflashed the rom and usesed with stock karnel for 2 days phone didn't freeze with stok karnel but as i flashed the karnel and set the given values it started freezing again... I want to use the karnel because everything is better than the stock one heating issue is major one with the rom but can be solved by the karnel but how to get rid of freezing problem.

Try to increase voltage slightly, +25 mV should be fine. Kernel Adiutor - CPU Voltage - Global at right top. It will not make any effect to battery life. If I remember correctly, Suemax kernel is a bit undervolted by default and if on most phones it's fine, on some it can make issues.

You can install it from Play Store, if you don't have one. On my ROM it was just built-in. Synapse should be built-in in kernel, you can update it from Play Store as usual.

Try to increase voltage slightly, +25 mV should be fine. Kernel Adiutor - CPU Voltage - Global at right top. It will not make any effect to battery life. If I remember correctly, Suemax kernel is a bit undervolted by default and if on most phones it's fine, on some it can make issues.
Sir i have set cpu voltage +25 the problem have been solved by doing so but some time cpu voltage automatically increased and phone start lagging and freezing... Any solution sir.. Thanks in advance.

Hmm, can you tell some more about this? I don't even have a clue, how the voltage can be increased automatically and phone start to lagging from more voltage? Usually, it's the contrary: more voltage = more stability for overclock etc.

Sir i set the cpu voltage by +25. Phone didn't freeze but after a day it freezed again when i checked the cpu voltage after restarting the phone it was the default values i set it by +25 again. After 7-8 hours some apps like Es file Explorer, Whats app, uc browser stopped working (saying like whats app is not responding) i was unable to move some content from phone to sd card. Other functions like settings, dialer etc. Was working. Phone didn't connect to pc. Neither restarted nor power off (restarting and shutting down.) after restarting the cpu voltage was more then the default values. See screenshots sir

Really strange. What ROM do you use? And build date.
I've been reading about some kernel modification staff for couple of days now. I have searched for best kernel governor for Google pixel, there was 2-3 threads and in all of them people stated like "bro you're crazy, don't touch stock sched governor it's the most optimised one for pixel". I was like okay, I won't touch, I get it. But than I saw one thread where users voted for which governors they used, and interactive governor had enormous votes compared to other ones, so I thought there must be the reason for that. After messing up with interactive governor settings, I managed to get about 25-30% more battery life than I had on sched. all this without any noticable decrease in performance. Sched governor rises frequencies so often even if you are just on home screen and simply press empty space, all four CPU cores go to sky at max speed, whereas interactive governor is like quiet intelligent killer who sits and waits for big tasks to go full power. Screenshot below shows my screen on time. Before that, it was somewhere between 3-4 hours. So, any thoughts or links about why I could be wrong and what am I missing - would be very very useful.
Interactive again, this time more optimised.

So other than changing to interactive governor, which settings did you change?

Decreased cpu frequencies a bit, also changed some settings inside the interactive gov. Exkernel manager app also helps a lot with blocking wakelocks. Right now, I have small cores set to sched and big cores set to interactive, I guess this variant also will make a good screen on time and better performance. Anything else is the same as it was on sched governor before
Here are the screenshots
Current Sot is 1:30 so at the zero battery it must be somewhere near 4*1:30=6 hours
I suppose I'll stay with sched+interactive governor
