Ever Evolving Flexreaper & such

---

@ Civato;

I don't care what anyone says. I think the collaborative effort of you, Blackthund3r, Skrilax, & co. have done a top notch job with this Flexreaper. Kudos and many thanks. Sometime in the future (after I learn more and get in the swing of things) hopefully I could help out. Till then, I thoroughly enjoy this ROM on Iconia A500.

@ Crandy:

Good advice. I am a bit leary of making permanent settings to my CPU freq's at my knowledge base. So yes, I dont set them to reboot to settings. Still toying with System Tuner settings on the FlexReaper.

So far, the Skrilax V4 bootloader is working A-ok for me. From what I have read, the V6 bootloader is some sort of ICS/HC hybrid dual boot thingie. I have zero interest in dual booting my tablet. Besides, its a pain to lug out my laptop, set up and juggle BlackThund3r's old and new flash util's and finaggle it all into the APX mode. (my tablet is bitchier than I am when it comes to getting into APX mode. It doesn't want to, and when tricked into it, doesnt wanna come out of it unless I talk nice to it and hot kill it when its not looking. ;-p )

Anyways, back to CPU frequencies...

I noticed something odd, Crandy. When I under-clock my CPU @ the 1.5GHz level to 1250mV, my Quadrant bench goes up at least 150 pts. If I over-volt it @ 1.5GHz to 1300mV, it takes a nose dive 50 pts on benchmark. Odd. Seems counter-intuitive.

@ the 608MHz, if I under-volt to 750mV, the tegra2 goes batty on me, flickers out and crashes on the FlexReaper the first time I kick on two apps. (at one app running, it bogs and complains, but doesn't go caput) So for my tablet, I think there is an established 50mV under-volt threshhold here. Playing conservatively, I dont think its prudent to over-volt more than 50mV either.

@ the lowest mV setting (218Mhz), it doesn't really matter what its under or over-volted to. My tablet runs poorly, very laggy, yet stable. It parks CPU 0 and runs the CPU1 instead. (at least that is what System Tuner tells me)

@ 1.o GHz tegra2 factory default, there is a leeway under/over-volt of at least 75 mV (150 spread) with no noticeable gain or depreciation to the Quadrant II benches. They all slither in between 1500 to 2300 depending on what I set to exclude process on.

I'm thinking that this Tegra2 on Civato's Flexreaper exteem edition here is best suited to full tilt 1.5 GHz @ 1250mV set governor to "performance" to get benches in the 3500+ range, or drop out to the undervolt/under-clock realm of no lower than 608MHz @ 700mV for max battery savings.

Maybe I am missing something, but it seems this range the FlexReaper runs best in on the Iconia A500.

Lower end: 608MHz @ 750mV to 1.5GHz @ 1250mV top end.

Hi civato.

I tried to download this rom for HC bootloader but the file download every time stoped at 99%.

What is the problem ?

Thanks

@Pyra Gordon - Thanks for the tips on power management.

Quadrant score now 3661 with the settings you suggest.

Seems my HD YouTube problems disappeared after I applied extreme patch, and oc to 1.5GHz. Thanks a bunch for implementing the new kernel!!

cheers civ' ima update when i complete sas3 lmao took ages getting to the level im at

guys custom roms are just that...custom, if they took direct idea's from other roms they wouldnt really be custom?
Asking a dev' to make his rom more like someone else's is kinda blasphemous to what android stands for.....open customization. not to mention as civ' says he's not a android himself lol he has other things to do and yet civ is the only dev ive had help from who replies to every qeustion in his thread daily/hourly

Hi I have a problem to freeze the video, I have to restart the application launcher to fix it when it happens everything disappears Civato have a solution? I attach the photo

If you are on Version 4 you can flash all future bootloader builds in cwm, no need to use apx mode anymore. Just download the appropriate .zip file and flash away. That was the biggest reason to upgrade to ver 4 over ver 3.

I think Thor got his fans , and I got mine. That is no problem its not like we feel the need to be the best. We feel we need to bring something the user appreciate.
Thor does that and I hope I do that as well.
And remember flexreaper is not what it is just because of me, I had help from so many different people, even some users . Ezterry is been a real help the past few months, dhcp lease patch and Oc kernel. Waydownsouth and his GPS update patch.
This is a work of the xda developers, I maybe control flexreaper but there are a few people in the background helping me.
Same with the guide, skilacz and black are a real help.

So enjoy whatever you got running on your tablet.

Side note,
This is just a hobby and a means to put my mind to rest, I got a real life with sweet wife , 2 great kids and a very nice but stressful job that I like very much.

Well put man... I think you encapsulated, the whole concept of being here in XDA, whether you are here as DEV or Noob like me.

Hello Civato problems continue to freeze the video, I would like to see if assistance is due to an application or the ROM itself, wipe that cache, fix permissions fact, the problem returns and makes me kiss away the contents of the home as attached image I aid?
