Wow. I've just gone down from 100 to 97% of battery with 21 minutes of screen time. Fresh install in gallimaufry governor, left as is. Going to bed, will report sleep performance.

This looks insane good though, phone is as snappy as ever.

You're up to something good here mate, thanks!!

hey,

first of all thanks for your kernel, looks like you put much time into your work on it!
i'm trying out your kernel right now.
i'm not using setCPU, though i'm using the ROM Apex 1.0.2 which has a builtin overclocking settings, like i can set min/max cpu frequency , cpu governor and voltages.
i have set 350/1350 mhz and undervolted a bit.
i have cleaned cache and dalvic cache after i flashed your kernel.

IMO, gallimaufry is rather laggy, honestly i tried it only for 1 minute and couldn't stick with it anymore..
i'll now use aggressive governor a few days, which has a good first impression on me, and then report back here!

if you have any idea why gallimaufry is laggy for me, or need more information, let me know.

greets

Awesome oO

I tested all the kernels, and with your Gallimaufry governor and without OC I have the best performances! Better than others with 1500MHz OC.....

And the battery drains verry slowly ! with a normal use of the phone I can use it 2 days without charging oO AWESOME

Amazing kernel, alot snappier than franco and lean kernel (in my opinion) regardless of the clockspeed and governor. Thank you for the kernel :), needs for recognition.

Yes great kernel...very smooth and snappy with default settings.
Can't really report battery life as I had a weird urge to flash another kernel during work today :( But I unplugged at 7:30am, went through half day of work with some light browsing, texting and email, and I was down to 87% when I switched kernel around 3pm. This was on your Aggressive governor.
Will love to come back when there's a new update :)

    Whoops, sorry guys. Forgot to put this up here, but I've had a fully fledged JB kernel on rootz for a while, here it is:

    v11.5 - JustinBieber version

    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/50845713/P...AL/PopcornKernel-v11.5-JUSTINBIEBER-FINAL.zip

    Changelog:
    Obviously, updated to Jelly Bean source, so only flash if you're running Jelly Bean.

    I added a system of load averages to PegasusQ: It will take the past 4 loads and average them (using weighted averages to give more priority to the more recent loads), to come up with an average load, and it will automatically change governor tunables to reflect this load (lower load = tunables better suited for more battery, higher load = tunables better suited for performance)
    This is because I found a bug where it would immediately bring back CPU1 after it hotplugged it, so now that it is hotplugging for longer, we need better logic to keep it smooth. (This has been slightly tweaked since the beta for a bit more speed)

    PegasusQ is now the default governor also

    MOAR CFLAGS (-Ofast, -pipe)

    Some more patches to help performance

    Alright so I'm about to leave for vacation, so here's v10 (i'll update the op later) http://goo.gl/0ndoq
    Changelog:
    Updated to 4.0.4 source
    Tweaked aggressive
    Added touchscreen power off on screen off patch from turl
    Allowed the cpu to go into a deeper C state - this should improve screen off battery life
    Added TempControl from Imoseyon and Ezekeel, but limited highest temp to 75C because you shouldn't need to go any higher than that
    Ezekeel's latest ColorControl bugfixes

    So after a long time coming, v9 is finally here! Here's the changelog:

    v9 Changelog (Download here)
    • updater script now wipes cache, dalvik cache, and system/lib/modules automatically
    • Bumped the 920MHz slot up to 1.06GHz - but it remained at the same voltage
    • Made aggressive even better (“How could this be?!?!” you ask!). Well, I added some code which will make it use the 1.06GHz slot more, which should lead to better screen-on battery life when doing things like web browsing and playing games (but still without lag). The DEF_SAMPLING_DOWN_FACTOR was also increased to 4
    • Made gallimaufry even better (“How could this be?!?!” you ask again!) - by making it so that it’ll ramp up a bit earlier, giving the user a snappier phone. It also has been tweaked for slightly more battery life.
    • Fixed the camera not responding issue
    • Removed Ezekeel’s Deep Idle
    • Fixed the hotplugging governors (aggressive, gallimaufry, interactive) to not hotplug during earlysuspend registration - this should fix the SOD’s. (thanks imoseyon)
    • Added PM_FAST/PM_MAX userspace module (Francisco Franco). What this does is you have the option to choose what wifi “mode” you want to use when your screen is off. Normally, the device uses PM_FAST when the screen is on, providing good, speedy wifi performance. But when the screen turns off, it switches to the PM_MAX mode, which slows the wifi down in an effort to save battery. However, this can affect someone streaming music, causing them to have lower quality audio. This patch allows that person to set the wifi mode to PM_FAST when the screen is off, improving their audio quality, but maybe at the cost of their battery life. To set it to enable PM_FAST on screen-off, you can type (in terminal emulator): echo 1 > /sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/wifi_pm and to disable it echo 0. Or you can just use franco’s app.
    • Added another patch from franco that powers down the wifi chip when wifi is disabled to save battery
    • Applied an omap patch: Don’t touch mpu and core state until CPU1 is off
    • Fix the LOAD_FREQ variable to equal 4.61 like it should, previously it equaled 5.73
    • Fixed the exponential values in sched.h to use 4.61 instead of 5 seconds
    • Applied Ezekeel’s latest Color/Sound Control commits

    v7.3 is here! Changelog:
    the weirdness in 7.2.1 should be fixed
    patched up to 3.0.23
    Added Fast Charge by Chad0989 - For more info see here: http://rootzwiki.com...-fast-charging/
    Switched to Ezekeel's implementation of Color Control - can now use color multipliers
    Made screen offset values more accurate - francisco franco
