I'm assuming this will work on G4 as well. But my question is will this work with a custom CM kernel? Or is it just for stock?

How do I know it worked? I followed the steps

Since it disables zram, the easiest way is to run the command "free" and see if the swap sections are all zero.

Any confirmation for h900

doesn't do much. Ran it for three days on h900 and i noticed battery drain while in standby..


Did not see much of a difference in performance.

wrong. swap is a completely different thing.

swap is always 0 except if you manually turn it on via an app, or a swap partition on your storage plus a script.

You should see something like this: see attachment...

zRAM is enabled by default, and I've made some more changes since the other day in light of some user logs and stats submitted. I will upload it later tonight.

For those not noticing a difference, or stating battery life has been worse, remember your performance increase comes with a small hit on battery, and your power saving is ALWAYS minimal. This isn't intended toprovide you an extra hour of screen on time.

Remember your consistence in usage highly impacts day to day battery drain.

I've tested this for about a month now, the effects of it are not huge, but there nonetheless.

I would encourage anybody to carefully monitor their usage and formally test for yourself before concluding it isn't for you.

But, either way, take it or leave it. I'm offering merely a small, simple yet effective mod with this.

And I thank you for that :good:

simple_ondemand isn't found here on my G4 running a stock CM kernel. It might be there on the stock G4 ROM though, I've never checked that out. But do you think this will do any kind of damage if I applied this on my current state? Or will it just ignore the line that switches governors?

EDIT: IGNORE ALL THIS! Didn't notice at first it was a GPU governor, which is there on CM... sowwy!

Yes, correct. It is a GPU governor. And it should be available with the Adreno 400 series GPU's.

Either way, new file has been uploaded, and there is now a changelog in post #2.

I'll be trying the new file for sure, but just as a confirmation, the first file resulted in about 2 hours and 40 minutes of SOT which is quite a bit lower than my general average of 3hr20min, especially considering how I also use Greenify for most apps. I'll give this second file a shot since you say you made changes. Thanks.

I've tried the first release and what I've noticed is that the big cores jump more often than the little ones, wich makes a higher drain on battery because the big one is power hungry.
It doesn't jump to higher frequencies but uses much more the big cores as you can see on screenshot below.

Zram is basically swap on a special device (/dev/block/zram0)

Interesting, your pictures are actually showing the opposite of what you said, if I am reading that right. Both are spending the majority of their time at the 800 MHz range, and the bigger cores are used less, it seems. What I'm going to do, is updated the hispeed_freq to something of a lower value, and adjust the above_hispeed_delay to a value twice the timer rate for cores 4 and 5... This should reduce CPU spikes and take care of low load a little better for the bigger cores.

Thanks for the screenshots, very useful info.

EDIT*** updated the link, give that one a shot. Should be quite noticeable. :good:

And again, I stand corrected. I was either drunk or I had a stupidity spike.

You're right, zRAM is basically swap!

I need help guys. I keep getting no such file or Directory. What am i doing wrong? Is the file not in the proper location?

If you see the percentage of every frequencies in both screenshots you see that little core basically uses the lower frequencie and the 800mhz one on the majority of time.
On big core there are more frequencies in use with a bigger percentage of use compared to little one.
The little one should beave as the big one is beaving and vice versa.

The new update seems to beave that way as shown :

I modified some parameters to my needs.

And on next update I would put 0 on multi_boost_freq.
No matter what other settings you have, if you have multi_boost_freq active the cpu will always scale to that frequency more often.

Just use a root explorer and put the file on proper location and give the proper permissions.
After that just reboot, and your done.

Um, are you sure you had updated the links? They seem to be the same for me...

EDIT: For the record, I also experienced idle drain like @i42o

Yeah I downloaded the 2nd update yesterday and it had been updated again (3rd?). Checked the checksum and both files are identical?

EDIT**** Made some more changes last night, going to test this last half of the week, and post an update. Check out the attached photos...

Links only change their name if they move into a different folder on drive or if the name of the file changes.

They've been updated, trust.

The next one will be early next week, and is going to have quite a bit of new things added. Screen off profiles, etc.

 

[danstheman7]

Installed the most recent, SOT is around 3 hours or so with 5ish percent left. Definitely an improvement from the previous file, looking forward to the changes to come! Thanks again!
