It is most likely to be app related not kernel related. Try reinstalling whatsapp and set up your account again, i have no issues whatsoever with whatsapp on wifi nor mobile network.

246 didn't seem to like my phone, but 248 is looking promising. I'm still on my first battery cycle with it (vs around five with 246) and it already seems to be running better. My battery life on 246 was less than stellar.

In the OMAP kernel driver we set nominal values for the frequency steps. Those values are the starting point. Then SmartReflex kicks in and calculates a much lower value that the device can handle for each of the steps.

For example:

1228Mhz Nominal: 1250mV - Calibrated: 1050mV

When we undervolt we are changing the nominal value ONLY. So if we undervolt to 1100mV the Calibrated value will still be 1050mV what means we are still using the same voltage.
However if we undervolt to 1025mV the Calibrated value will obviously decrease to 1025mV but the chance of crashing the device will increase much more.

For 1536Mhz steps and beyond I made it so SmartReflex won't calibrate to prevent crashes so we're using the nominal values directly from the kernel.

So if I've changed the nominal values in the undervolt settings but didn't go lower than the calibrated values then in reality it didn't have any effect on anything? Just trying to understanding this stuff

I've been reading these type of threads for 3 years, and still haven't seen explanation on how to undervolt. From what I've read it's the way to getting longer life on my battery. Please explain how to undervolt.

UVing is useful for improving power consumption and heat reduction, especially at higher frequencies. If you UV too much it crashes/freezes. So basically we're talking about finding the sweet spot here and SR does a great job of that for all frequencies it operates on (per franco's post above).

DO NOT UV THE SAME ACROSS THE BOARD. Different frequencies can take different levels of UVing, so adding or subtracting 25 could work for one or two but be unnecessary or unstable for others. Each frequency must be UVed separately.

Here's the reference doc I made for myself, pulled from several other peoples' posts, so all credit to them (not sure who anymore, my apologies!):

UV:

Go through your frequencies and check Device Monitor to see what they are being calibrated to with SR. These are your starting point for UVing and making a solid UV profile, so enter those calibrated voltages in.

Turn off SR then change min to 192 MHz and keep lowering 192 MHz by 25 mV until it crashes, then boot back up and set 192 MHz to the lowest voltage you had before the crash. Do the exact same for 384MHz. After this set performance governor to force the max freq and set the max freq to 729 MHz, lowering the voltage for 729 MHz in the same fashion. Repeat this process of setting the max freq to the frequency you are trying to calibrate (with the exception of the lowest frequencies) and eventually you should end up with a nice voltage profile.

If you then get instabilities either try to isolate it with performance governor and changing your max freq to the one that causes the crash or change the frequency range (min/max settings) until you have a stable phone to try and identify which specific frequency is unstable, after that just bump it up by 25 mV and it should be completely stable thereafter.

Note: some (high) frequencies are not stable at any respectable voltage (for me) therefore I do not run frequencies of 1.6 GHz and above.


Lag from CORE UVing:

The GPU seems to behave slightly differently and gets a bit laggy at low voltages, so I tend to find the laggy voltage and then add 25 mV.

Look at your smart reflex voltages for gpu, copy them in the core undervolt menu without applying, then up the top one by 5, then disable smartreflex for core and apply your voltages, if it still lags raise the top voltage by 5-20 (raise by 5 each time you test)

That should work, I know with sr values on 512 I get glitches in benchmark apps but just raising my voltage by 5 makes it work perfectly


Crashes:

If it freezes, the clock speed is too high. If it just reboots, the voltage is too low.
It's the first symptom that determines the issue.

And here's some more recent information, on what to look for with GPU and IVA undervolting to know you've gone too far:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42835670&postcount=42344

After all that I'd like to mention that UVing isn't really necessary! SR does a spectacular job and I'm not worried too much about the higher frequencies as I only clock to 1.5 GHz (the TI OMAP 4460 chipset factory specifications - so I'm not overclocking, I'm de-underclocking ;)).

Edit. As nemotheblue pointed out, a lot of this likely came from rogersnm's extremely informative posts. So many thanks and all credit to him and anyone else I might have gotten some of this from but forgot.

Just to add to the under voting info train here's something I copied from a post way back is this very thread I believe. Just something about the POTENTIAL benefits of under voting, not guaranteeing these results. Me personally I just let SR do all the work.

Common:
* Re-code all the download kernel functions - clean and improved code
* Re-implement the kernel download dialog information - now it shows real percentage of the file plus file sizes
* Touch events won't cancel kernel download dialogs anymore
* Some more bug fixings

If you have any issues please email me.

As usual you need to wait until Google takes care of the update push into their servers.

Hey Franco I just found something odd, I was running #248 since you first uploaded but I was getting a lot of data drops. At first I shook it off but then it got more aggressive and I reverted to #246 and now I get better signal and it doesn't drop as much.. Weird.

I got 99 problems but bamf ROMs ain't one! -nnnnr12

UV may get u like 5% better battery but by then most people are looking for a charger, don't waist your time it's been proven over and over agn that no real benefits. I've done my own tests weeks at a time and 5% was all I got, most people install a kernel screw with all the settings before they ever tested stock so there input is worthless ;)

Last 2-3 pages made it more clear. No reason to UV.SR does a great job and we have to undervolt below the calibrated SR value which increases the risk of crashing much more than the real power save we get. So no UV and for me from now on.
Besides our Super Amoled is what drains most power on our phone!

Hi, just flashed r248 512MHz over CM10 nightly 20120902, at the reboot (when it actually flashes the kernel), I get stuck at black screen + white "google" and unlocked lock. Still have access to recovery,tried wiping dalvik cache and fixing permissions. Still won't boot.

Any way round to fix this ? maybe try to reflash the r248 kernel, or reflash CM10 nightly, is it possible to push these files to the phone's memory through fastboot ?

Please help :S

Take out the boot.img file from the rom Nd flash via adb

So with 248 overall its great, iv had more microlags than I did with 246 which was very good overall. This 'interactive' interactive is good, my battery life has been acceptable (I normally stick to lazy) and the performance is good, I find he microlags happen more after having a long time without a reboot. Overall am very happy to continue testing 248

    Just woken up and feel like my head is going to explode already this last 5 pages is crazy

    haha. It's been a crazy two days. :) But it's been a blast.

    Now, sleep is over, time to get back to work!

    I got these from that thread:

    so it makes much sense, to make the min_sample_time as low as possible (?), but how low? what's the most appropriate sample time for battery and performance?

    for the timer_rate, franco suggested 30k to consider the CPUs latency. What has it to do with the cpu's latency?

    he also said min_sample_time doesn't have to be in multiple of timer_rate.
    in my case, all my timers are in 20k, which works fine as of now. But i must be missing some things, because I just saw somebody post these values, and no detailed explanation for having them.

    Yes and no. Here's what we're thinkin' so far.

    THIS POST WILL BE A RECAP OF THE LAST FEW PAGES OF RESEARCH! :)

    This was my original settings that I've been using for weeks:
    above_hispeed_delay: 20000
    go_hispeed_load: 50
    min_sample_time: 40000
    timer_rate: 20000
    So to make the short hand easier, we kept it in that order and just said: 20000/50/40000/20000 became 20k/50/40k/20k became 2/5/4/2. Make sense?

    Here is a breakdown of what they each mean:
    -above_hispeed_delay: Once speed is set to hispeed_freq, wait for this long before bumping speed higher in response to continued high load.
    -go_hispeed_load: The CPU load at which to ramp to the intermediate "hi speed".
    -min_sample_time: The minimum amount of time to spend at a frequency before we can ramp down.
    -timer_rate: Sample rate for reevaluating cpu load when the system is not idle.

    This is a good explanation that I wrote back on page 3038:
    -above_hispeed_delay: higher = better battery, lower = better performance. (100k is default)
    -go_hispeed_load:.......higher = better battery, lower = better performance. (50 is default)
    -min_sample_time:......lower = better battery, higher = better performance. (60k is default)
    -timer_rate:.................higher = better battery, lower = better performance. (20k is default)
    So Google's default is 10/5/6/2. Lower numbers are all better for performance except min_sample_time (there higher is faster). So our goal is to find a sweet spot.

    The default 10 is for "Once speed is set to hispeed_freq, wait for this long before bumping speed higher in response to continued high load." So we think 10 is too high, but if you go too low, then you'll be using the higher freqs a lot more than you need and it will hurt the battery. So we are leaning towards 6 (60000) for above_hispeed_delay.

    The default 5 is for "when the CPU hits X% amount of load, then jump to the hispeed_freq." Again if this one is too low then it will cause the higher freqs to be used more often then they need, so we actually turn go_hispeed_load up a little bit to 7 (70).

    The default 6 is for "how long do I wait before lowering the clock speed from what it's currently at." So the lower we put this, the better battery will be. We're still trying to decide between 3 (30000) and 5 (50000). Osm0sis is getting more lag at lower levels, and finds the best performance mark at 5. So we turn min_sample_time down a little from stock to help with the battery.

    The default 2 is for "wait this long before changing the clockspeeds from what it's at now." While technically 2 sounds better because it's changing more often, Franco believes that by setting the timer_rate to be the same thing as the CPU sample_rate (which is preset at 30000), then that will make the CPU more efficient at switching. So we increased it from 2 (20000) to 3 (30000).

    So TO RECAP: Using the stuff from above, Google's defaults for these settings are 10/5/6/2 and we are changing them to 6/7/3/3 or 6/7/5/3 (again, still testing that third number for the min_sample_time).

    Does that make sense for everyone interested in following along? Any questions? Feel free to try out these settings yourself (the easiest way is with Franco's app or something like Trickster). We want as much feedback as possible on this.
    The next kernel release will have the totally tweaked settings for everyone to test without having to change their own stuff.

    Kernel Emergency Settings Reset Zip

    Alright so here's something that's been requested for awhile.

    I wrote it up recently with Franco's stamp of approval, so I'm posting it here now. Please direct people back to this post from other threads.

    This can/should be everyone's go-to when experiencing problems after updating to a new kernel build, you get stuck in a bootloop, or you think there's a conflict between ROM and kernel (or kernel tweaking app) you can't track down, since likely some leftover settings (voltages, etc.) are at fault. It's also useful if you just want to make sure you're running clean defaults. This should work on any device franco.Kernel and f.Ku support, as well as a variety of other devices, kernels and control apps: eXperience (Free/Pro), GLaDOS Control, TricksterMod, Trinity Kernel Toolbox, ROM Toolbox (Lite/Pro), SetCPU, Faux123 Kernel Enhancement Project, Performance Control and Synapse.

    Flashing this via custom recovery of your choice will delete the kernel app settings file(s), disable init.d and userinit.d scripts by moving them to a subfolder (/system/etc/init.d/off/ and /data/local/userinit.d/off/ respectively) and wipe cache and dalvik-cache for good measure.

    Hopefully it helps!


    Note: If your ROM has a Performance/Tweaking App built-in you should also manually disable any Set On Boot options it has. For example, I couldn't include clearing CM's Advanced Settings since they're built into the main com.android.settings/Settings.apk along with a lot of other Android OS settings (APNs, Developer Options, etc.), so to run clean and without conflicts on CM you need to unset them yourself.

    You should also avoid having more than one control app installed at a time. Conflicts have been reported even with everything "unset" in two apps.

    I also chose not to disable anything your ROM may have in /data/cron or /system/addon.d since some rely on it heavily, so you can choose to review those directories' contents and whether you want to leave them enabled on your own. I also left out disabling sysctl.conf since that's done by f.K and the Franco's Dev Team scripts, and also seemed a bit heavy-handed for this zip script.

    There are some battery savings from UVing but they aren't extreme. If you do not know how UVing works and/or you can't/won't read to properly build your own voltage profile, then just stick with the defaults Franco has already UVed. If you do still want to learn to UV then, once again, everyone should build their own voltage profile for their own device. Read this, this, this, and this for starters on UV methods. You don't know how your device will do until you learn and try.

    As a sidenote, if anyone else wants to share their voltages for comparison the easiest way is to copy the contents of the 3 voltage files (mpu/iva/core) in /sys/class/misc/customvoltage/ - they look (almost) exactly as the sections above.
    Fsync on just in case anything ever happens I want my data protected. That said I do disable it temporarily if I ever want a bit more performance in an app or game. SR is hardcoded disabled in the latest builds.

    The other thing worth noting is I set my color settings on boot with an init.d script. Doing it that way you can end up with a completely different result from the same values. The contrast, blacks and colors are much more natural. Also it's seamless which is nice; they take effect during the Google logo. Attached is my init.d script for that. Alter it to your own color settings, remove the .txt extension, push to /system/etc/init.d/ and set the correct perms; rwxr-xr-x (chmod -R 755 /system/etc/init.d in Terminal Emulator).

    900colorsettings can be found with my other init.d scripts (from Franco Dev Team), here: https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?dev=osm0sis&dl=osm0sis/scripts/900colorsettings

    Note: On my new replacement screen, setting the color multiplier too early in the boot (any time before the boot animation) made everything look dark, oversaturated, uncontrasted and dusky; basically the opposite of the way it used to work on my old panel. Adding sleep 2; before that line in the init.d script fixed this, so experiment if your panel is more like my new one, and the init.d as-is after you put in your settings makes it look worse.

    [ New init.d script with my new colors. I need the sleep 4 because of my problem in my "Note" above, so comment it out if you don't need it, it will make it look worse. Previous download counts were 1880, 646, and 307. Thanks everyone! ]
