It'll be such a small amount that you would never notice it. The average init.d script is like 5KB, and the average read speed of a Class 2 SD card is 2MB/s. It could load 400 scripts in a second.

where is v2.5 its not in downloads list..?

I wonder if there's a kind of power saving setting in this kernel embedded.

Even if I don't define pm.sleepmode=1 in the build.prop, it looks like the phone goes into really deep-sleep, and doesn't reconnect WIFI in standby modus.

example:
My phone has no simm, only WIFI. I connect WIFI at home..and drive to work..Then when I arrive back at home, it never reconnects when phone screen is not unlocked, so in standby. Not even after some hours. Only when you press the middle button to turn screen on, it reconnects WIFI.

With stock kernel , the phone will reconnect WIFI , even when you don't use the phone for anything..and mails will come in..on standby.


Anyone ?

Have you tried setting your wifi standby policy to 'never'? It might work...
What ROM are you on? I know this policy setting exists at least in cm7...

Check wifi sleep policy in wifi settings. If its set to 'never' then wifi will not turn off when screen goes off. you probably have option 'when screen turns off' option selected.

Is tested on froyo JPS (my phone, no simm, wifi only) and JPU (my wife's phone, wifi only, has simm in phone)

For froyo, WIFI is already set to "never sleep" by default.
For CM is had to put this setting to fix the auto-rotation feature in kyrillos and hercolubus ROM.. but I'm not sure if CM reconnects WIFI in standby (deep sleep) modus... I doubt it to happen.

I believe this issue only happens when you have no mobile data (APN) on your phone, only wifi...so you could easily verify too :)

Either way 3G gets your phone out of deep-sleep regularly (to fetch data) and also triggers WIFI to reconnect by that, so then you will not see the issue.
---
So if you want to test, disable you APN (rename it) leave your house/wifi, come back in some minutes. Wait 5 extra minutes, then turn screen on and see if WIFI was connected already....or WIFI just starts connecting when you turn on screen.

If WIFI starts connecting at the moment you turn on the screen then CM kernels also has this issue.
---

Again, stock kernels don't have this issue..I tested it (but miss other goodies ofcourse :) )

P.S. in build.prop the pm.sleep_mode=X is involved, but even without this line, WIFI doesn't reconnect in standby on custom kernels.
This makes me think about setting a higer value for pm.sleep_mode on custom kernel...like 2,3 or 4.. New testing for me too.

is the kernels compatibility increased to cm7 8.2?

most likely it is as there aren't any huge changes with rc3....will try out asap though....

i can confirm the following:

-i enabled wifi and didn't connect to any wifi-network
-i entered my home and wifi there was enabled
-my phone didn't automatically connect to my hotspot
-after i disabled/ re-enabled wifi it connected

--> the 'never sleep' feature seems to work only when you're already conncted and your phone disabled screen
--> tested with cm7-kernel 1.5 (didn't test with g3mod 2.5 because of updating to cm7.2 rc3 =)
--> i don't have the line you suggested in my build.prop
--> don't know if it really is kernel related or something in my rom (cm7)
