Okay i am still testing best battery-saving governor between "modded OnDemand, intelliactive, interactive"
My CPU scaling is 200 MHz --> 1600 MHz and intelliPlug profile is Eco without touch-boost. This extra OC has very small ignorable hit on battery and is rock stable but it also finishes tasks faster than stock 1400 MHz
As for storage i use "deadline" governor for both internal and external storages. Read-ahead buffer is 128/256 for internal/external storages. Dynamic Fsync is turned on and i unchecked the SdcardFS box due to foldermount working only with the older Sdcard wrapping-system...
I think nothing else i can share that has an effect on battery...
Anyways, concerning the CPU governor showdown, i am still investigating but here is what i know so far:
Theoritically, interactive governor was introduced to be more battery-wise than OnDemand, so it gives smoother UI and more battery-saving experience than Ondemad.
But it has some strict policies that forces the CPU to jump to max frequency where it is not needed, so intelliactive comes to the rescue, where it has "two phase scheduling" (idle/busy phases) to prevent from jumping directly to max frequency AND Checks for offline cpus and short circuits some unnecessary checks to improve code execution paths
So this may give you the following summary theory-wise:
1.intelliactive
2.interactive
3.OnDemand
in terms of battery life
But real life experience is set to be different as not all people have the same usage. For me i have been dealing with OnDemand for quite a while as i was using boeffla and modded it to suit my usage "alot of soundcloud streaming and video playing as well as chatting and internet surfing, no graphics-intensive games though" thanks to @metalgearhathaway so "Ondemand for me according to my usage" but to have a fair test i need to have some more charge cycles with the other governors...

You can tell me your usage also of it differs.
Sorry for long posts but that is the way i like to explain things in full details for people to have the full image.

Thanks for all this information, i tried intelliactive governor, 128/256 for internal/external storages, deadline governor for both internal and external storages and other than that was default, but i have lost 3% in less than 15 minutes while i wasn't using phone so i will trying other Settings and See.

Sorry for Bad English

Okay grab a BBS log and post here.
Also if this happened after a fresh boot then it's normal as "media scanner" will run for a while at max freq and "RILJ" wakelock keeps the phone from sleeping as it still settles up the network, so you may try again. So far I did a test between OnDemand and Intelliactive for 10% and the results were:
OnDemand --> 15 minutes 23 seconds screen-on time
Intelliactive --> 25 minutes 40 seconds screen-on time
So intelliactive seems to be better
Will test with interactive and tell u.

Yesterday I encountered a random reboot immediately after the call ended 2 times.
The screen just didn't turn on and then the splash screen "samsung galaxy S3"
I will try to up the minimum freq to 200 MHz instead..

I did too experienced the call issue(deadlock).

Sounds quite hard to fix, I think it "may"be related to the interactive governor instead of pegasusq.. :(

Thanks for the benchmark, I'll look forward on comparing interactive vs intelliactive :)

@arter97 sorry for bothering you again but i really want this awesome kernel to work properly on ArchiPort (like boeffla and agni kernel does), that means no graphical glitches and working screen mirroring so i would be really disapointed if you won't continue with making this kernel working perfect for ArchiPort.
Many thanks in advance.

Maybe you can try using pegasusq back for a couple of days..
As I don't use my S3 as my daily driver, it's now getting harder to testdrive for daily activities.

If you can, please try pegasusq(even though it suck.. :p) and see if the deadlock is reproducible.

When I tried to dump logs, nothing appeared to be interesting..

I heard lots of graphical issues with my kernel. And I'm fully acknowledging it.

But instead of "hey arter, I'm experiencing graphical glitches!",
I need "hey arter, you may try this or this, maybe your source code here, or you can tryout this commit".

I really cannot solve this by my own.

Deadlock due to interactive/intelliactive governor confirmed!! :(
Just had a call while using intelliactive and it rebooted, although I was using 200 MHz as lower freq..
Then I changed to stock laggy Pegasusq and it went normal..
Maybe i can test the ondemand governor. I think we might get results similar to interactive/intelliactive with performance-tweaked OnDemand, but we need to prove that this issue is unproducable with OnDemand
Mind that, there is intelliplug which may be a factor also...
I was using intelliactive with "Conservative" intelliplug profile.

Yes I think we should try ondemand too.

Pegasusq is a fork of ondemand.

Arter, just pm me if you need help here. I cannot give you a ready to use commit, as our kernels are quite different. But can tell you what I did.
Just be aware it was lots of merging work and conflict resolution. So it will probably also take you many hours of intensive work...

OnDemand is bulletproof.
Just had a call right now. And it worked well.
So what we are having now is OnDemand gov with intelliplug. It is like twekaing the hotplug policy of pegasusq to Performance, Balance (default), Conservative, Eco, Eco extreme and also touchboost. Not Bad :/
EDIT: well not that bulletproof sadly
It happened again.
But what is noticed that it is less frequently with OnDemand :rolleyes:
If the 2.2 release was stable enough
Then it should be something not related with governors or intelliplug, as 2.2 has those governors as well if i remember correctly...
I will take a break. Need some time for studying and swimming :p championship is around the corners :D

    /* More informations */

    Based on stock SHV-E210S kernel source
    Samsung has put massive updates in their Android 4.4 kernel compared with Android 4.1 kernel. By being based on stock SHV-E210S kernel source, arter97 kernel is miles ahead of where other CyanogenMod-based kernels are slowly catching up behind.
    Dual-booting
    arter97 kernel implements simple yet seamless multi-boot solution that does not need a dedicated recovery. It's also faster, thanks to raw extracted method instead of slow loop mounted images.
    To start, enter recovery(CWM, PhilZ) and flash arter97-multi-boot.zip. The ZIP files you flash afterwards will be stored in the 2nd-ROM slot(/data/arter97_secondrom) until you exit or restart recovery.
    Reboot back to 1st-ROM, and use newly installed 'aSwitch' to control 2nd-ROM. You cannot select between two ROMs on the initial start-up time.
    * 2nd-ROM's /system partition will be always mounted R/W due to its limitations.
    * Backup & restore will not work for 2nd-ROM. Don't try it unless you want your entire device screwed all over.
    * Do not select data wipe on 2nd-ROM installation! 1st-ROM data might be lost instead.
    Advanced mDNIe control
    arter97 kernel offers advanced mDNIe control by AndreiLux, leaving every single controls available for the screen in the palm of your hands.
    Knock-On
    arter97 kernel offers full Touch Wake functionality(by Ezekeel & Yank555.lu) with additional 'Knock-On' feature. Within the desired timer you set, Touch Wake will only work by double-tapping.
    Touch Wake
    Touch Wake has been improved in arter97 kernel. Not only the implementation of 'Knock-On' feature, you can now set a seperate timer on charge, force to also work on physical button pressed.
    Compiler
    arter97 kernel uses the latest Linaro-toolchain. Linux kernel's compiler profiles has also been backported from Linux 3.16 for more compiler bug-fixes, performance improvements.
    Memory managements
    arter97 kernel is fully upstreamed to the latest Linux 3.0.101. This provides improved stability, performance and memory management. But many developers forget to properly match Samsung's CMA memory management to Linux 3.0.101. arter97 kernel is the only kernel properly upstreamed to Linux 3.0.101 with CMA, meaning better memory management than other kernels.
    If you're using Android 4.4 KitKat, ROM can work together with arter97 kernel which improves memory managements even further.
    File-system
    Battery and access speed to /sdcard is also improved by utilizing Samsung's sdcardfs and ditching Google's fuse implementation. Users can disable sdcardfs allowing FolderMount to work properly.
    FAT32 latency is improved, and AIO(Asynchronous I/O) is backported from Linux 3.6 with latency improvements.
    f2fs
    arter97 kernel is the first Android kernel(since 2013/08) to feature full f2fs support with selective partitions preferences. If you manage to make a switch from ext4 to f2fs, theoratically, your device's flash storage can perform up-to 2x faster. arter97 kernel also continously backport the latest f2fs from Linux 3.19+. This f2fs will be even more faster, reliable than other Android kernels.
    PhilZ recovery dedicated for f2fs makes users easy to switch. Install kernel and recovery, wipe /data and /cache, that's it.
    Boeffla Sound Engine
    Boeffla Sound Engine is the only custom audio engine available in arter97 kernel. Go and download 'Boeffla Sound Control' from Google Play store.
    Android logger control
    Android logger, aka logcat can produce a lot of garbage datas even when you don't need them. You can explicitly disable Android logger completely, or make it clear itself when the screen goes off(which is the default).
    Mali graphics
    arter97 kernel uses the latest Mali driver available for Samsung's Exynos 4412 phones, r3p2. It also uses the latest Mali blobs from N7100 ROM, which is built more recently than GT-I9300 ROMs.
    Automatic kernel panic log dumper
    When you use a custom kernel, you may experience unexpected malfunctions like sudden reboots. You should dump the kernel log and report it to the developer to help, but it may be very tiring to manually dumping and sending it. To make your life easier, arter97 kernel automatically dumps kernel log when kernel panic happens, and stores it on /sdcard/arter97.
    Kernel-side Camera shutter sound control
    arter97 kernel can force and turn off the speaker while the rear camera is operating. Since this is a kernel-side implementation, it doesn't need any ROM side support. Control available from aTweaks.
    Powerboost
    Powerboost is a function that dynamically boosts your device's performance when an external charger is connected. Since none of the power savings are needed while the device is charging, you can experience much more faster speed during that period.
    Boost-boot
    Boost-boot is a function that can reduce boot-up time up-to 20 seconds. It uses 'performance' CPU governor, 'no-op' I/O scheduler and 1024kB readahead when the device is booting.
    aTweaks
    aTweaks is a live-kernel-controller dedicated for arter97 kernel based on STweaks. You can control almost every aspects that arter97 kernel offers. Installing BusyBox before using is recommended.
    aSwitch
    aSwitch is a dual-boot settings for arter97 kernel. It can wipe 2nd-ROM's /system, /data and /cache. You can also set /sdcard sharing option within aSwitch.

    /* FAQ */

    I get 'status7' error while installing!
    Your recovery is out-dated. Go and install a newer one.
    Any recommended kernel settings?
    The defaults are the most recommended settings. Try and use the default settings for several days before tweaking it yourself.
    No GPU clock controls?
    No. I personally don't like exposing GPU clock controls to users. I have no plans of adding these controls to my kernels.
    I'm experiencing data-losses, device shutdown while downloading torrents!
    Please turn off 'Dynamic Fsync' from aTweaks. Note that this may make your device slower.
    Screen mode settings are not working!
    mDNIe settings is moved to aTweaks. Please use the settings from there.
    My screen color is inverted!
    Tap the home-button 4 times. It's a kernel feature, please read the entire post.
    The boot animation is laggy after installing this kernel!
    The root cause is unknown for now, but it is normal and doesn't affects anything else.
    Personal Hotspot is not working after switching to another kernel!
    It's due to hostapd binary change. Go and re-flash your ROM.

    Okay.

    After a second thought, yes, I'm releasing my Git repository open for everyone.

    You guys are right. It's about the entire community, not me.

    It's the entire community we want to improve, not a specific one or a group.

    I'd like to contribute to the community.
    I'd like to see other developers take commits from this repository and make things better.

    The Git is at https://bitbucket.org/arter97/arter97-i9300-release

    So,
    @JustArchi , go fix your kernel's camera issue and delight the users.
    @Lord Boeffla , let's both work on improving Knock-On(or dt2w).
    @beeeto , thanks for persuading me.

    We love XDA.
    We love to share things and make things better.

    Me too. I love to apply things from other developers.
    But with proper credits.

    I'd like to see other developers take commits from this repository and make things better.
    Contribute to the entire community.

    But with proper credits.

    'Opensource' does not mean 'no-respect'.
    Leave credits to original author.

    That's all I want.

    Thanks for your support.

    Some very exciting news.

    Remember my friend who got continuous panics everyday?
    With the new development version, he gets none.

    Plus, I've managed to merge the latest, stable f2fs from Linux 4.2-rc8.

    I haven't forgot you guys, look forward for the next release :D

    After fixing minor issues(Wi-Fi on CM ROMs), this project will be abandoned.

    This kernel is my very first custom kernel project.
    After some general experiences with Android/Linux kernels, I went on making custom kernels for Galaxy S4 LTE-A, Note 3, S5, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, LG G Watch and now Galaxy S6.
    During this 1~2 years of period, I learnt what I was doing wrong and what can be better.

    A totally new, re-based, reworked kernel with a different name will be under development with ultimate goal "stability".
    A lots of features considered unnecessary and dirty will be gone.
    Undervolt, Multi-boot, aTweaks(yes, the kernel configurator app), unnecessary CPU governors, intelli-plug, Knock-On(Touchwake), Android logger control, Boost-boot, mDNIe control will be one of them.
    It's my own judgement call for reaching out more general users with no weird and funky issues.

    Every commits will be reviewed.
    Commits which I don't understand that just has a fancy name will also be not applied.
