I know, tons of stuff released, some may be similar, but I've had people waiting for me to release these for some reason, so I am. Not sure what I do differently that makes people choose what I release over someone else, but here they are.
What I've done is started with the source jt1134 has provided as a base, and went from there. I haven't had time to change much else yet, but in due time, I'm hoping to have a lot of changes and updates. If you feel like supporting the development, consider signing up for Dropbox and help give me more space to store kernels.

The 100 may be to much of an undervolt for your phone then, try the 50 or sv to see if you can reproduce the issue.

Stock clock speeds. IMO, overclocking is useless on our phones for anything besides given you a bigger quadrant score, and it does little for actual usage.
It is definitely pretty screwed up for me. It keeps vibrating and there was no signal and nothing was working, but I was able to reboot to recovery so I am going to try flashing again and see what happens.
For those about to flash if you're using set cpu uncheck enable on boot before flashing, i've had the problem of freezing on boot before and this seemed to have solved the problem.
Dang it, I'm never gonna calibrate battery the way I'm flashing kernels the past few days...flashing now!

I just installed the new Siyah 3.2b1 kernel to run my ShoStock 2.2.2 ROM last night and everything was working fine. I didn't make many changes other than switching the governor to lulzactive and the i/o scheduler to noop.
It was running fine over night (lost 0% battery).
Then today after I used the phone for a few minutes the battery seemed to drain a little quicker. I know its too early to complain about battery life but I decided to investigate. When I checked cpuSpy it showed that all of the frequencies were barely used (mostly spent in deep sleep over night) but the 1200 mhz frequency was used most after that (significantly more than the others). When I went back into voltage control (same thing with setcpu) I noticed that it seemed to be stuck at 1200 mhz. The only thing that fixed it was changing the governor.
Does anyone have any ideas on whats causing this and how to fix it (I had great battery performance on lulzactive before so would like to use it again)?
Just try clearing app data rebooting and reinstalling the app. That problem has happened to me every once in a blue moon and that fixed it for me.

Thanks, I'll try reinstalling the kernel.
Which app are you referring to? because I had this problem no matter which app I used to change the governor (Extweaks, voltage control, setcpu).
Use Jivy's Kernel cleaning script prior to flashing, and try again.

Hi Guys,
My first post here. I am total noob. I rooted and installed the newest ShoStock2 on my at&t galaxy s2. Everything works perfectly. I couldn't be happier. I also went bought the setCPU for overclocking it. That too seem to be working fine.
My question is. I didn't set up any voltage requirements. The only thing I did was to set it to 1600 MHZ and 200 min and change the governor on the bottom to Lulzcrative. Will this work? Do I need to actually do something with the voltage? am I really on 1600 right now? I cannot tell.
I ran a quad test (I now it is meaningless in real world) it came 2818 yesterday. I ran it again this morning ..... It froze and took my battery from 45 to 9 in less than 3 mins!!!!!! The phone got really hot. I took out the battery right of way. The battery life showed 23 percent this time.
I got little afraid of the quadrant testing ... The phone seems to run good without that but I am not sure if it is set up how it is suppose to.
Could someone help me out please? I tried reading the forums and that is where I got the idea in the first place to overclock it.
So to summarize it, I guess phone is fine right now but I am not sure if I set up setcpu out properly.
I am on the newest shostock2. I have galaxy s2 on att. I am pretty good with computers and phones but not sure about voltage and other problems with relating to setCPU.
Thank you advance for helping me out.

Lots of questions there. Phone overclocking is the same and at the same time different than PC overclocking. I too bought SetCPU and due to bugs and problems have completely abandoned it. Honestly with the exception of running an epeen benchmark there is little incentive to overclock. Find a newer Kernel (I use NEAK which has no overclocking ability) and install it, performance is stellar. You really have to ask yourself, is my phone slow enough that I need more CPU power to make it faster?
To see what time your CPU is spending at a given clock speed, download CPUSpyhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd, you will be surprised to see your phone spend very little time at it's max clockspeed.
Due to the immaturity of the fab process for our CPU's (well SoC), what is a stable overclock for one person might not even load for another. These CPU's are not like an Intel Sandy Bridge, with 1Ghz of free overclocking, nearly guaranteed. You can certainly play with voltages to try and attain a higher overclock, but at the expense of CPU lifetime, as well as battery.
Additionally, it takes a new Kernel 3 or so full charge, discharge cycles on a phone to really 'settle in' and 'learn' a particular phones battery, while yours got hot, which to me indicates an endless loop of some kind running in the background.
My advice would be as follows: Choose a ROM you like, feel free to play with different Kernels, again, I use NEAK, which does not work for some folks, or crashes or whatever. Give it several days to 'settle in' and if your still not happy with performance or have stability problems, try a different governor/scheduler. You really need to establish a good, solid baseline of your phones performance and make small changes and give them long enough to establish any changes to your phones overall stability. Basically running cowboy through your phone and making changes will have a negative overall outcome. Make small, documented changes, test and see what overall effect this has to your phone's stability and battery life, and make another change.

I'm just going off what I've seen in the Siyah/NEAK threads. Most of the lock-ups/random reboots I've heard people having had used the cleaning script. Either that or its just coincidence.
I may be wrong but I think that using the kernel cleaning script actually solved most of the lockups. Perhaps I misunderstood the threads.

Many have complained about issues with the kernel in ICS. On any build, it is vital that you not use setcpu or any other cpu scaling app. Don't change the max/min freq, don't change the governer, nothing. Perflock will constantly reset any changes and cause the cpu to run at either full throttle or full min - no in between. Until we get kernel source and custom kernels, this will always be the case. It's something HTC does.
Many cpu monitor apps will do the same. The link in my sig has more info, and a link to a cpu monitor app that is safe to use with our kernel.
Actually when I was on the second ics leak, and setcpu worked fine. I know this because I benchmarked before and after setting frequencies
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
benchmarking doesn't mean it wasn't running at full tilt when you didn't need it to. unless your kernel magically doesn't include perflock, it was.
also, there are some combinations of setcpu and monitoring that will work. at one point if i used setcpu, cpu monitor, and one other which i forget now, it would work, kind of. definitely not recommended.
Thats why I deaded mine. Phone was constantly overheating
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
since i stop fighting with the kernel i've had nothing but great battery life and performance since the first ICS leak.
tsp, what i don't understand is why something like system panel, which shows you scaling (but doesn't let you change it) showed the proper correct scaling between 384 and 1512 and hardly EVER hit full throttle on GB, but on ICS, it's always showing full throttle.
then i installed your widget you showed me, and it showed constantly chagning like system panel used to on GB.
any idea why? which one is rgiht??

Agreed. I had set CPU try to disable perflock and limit to 1200mhz on conservative and it ended up being worse battery and slower overall.
You're exactly right I advise everyone I discuss the topic with to make sure and avoid trying to over ride perflock with a CPU management app. It causes a conflict in my opinion which is a huge battery drain and also causes excessive heat due to the process of fighting for its life.

the widget i posted is what you want. it should be scaling up and down, and settling eventually when nothing is really going on. the system panel that you tried clearly affected the perflock in some way. from what i understand, some apps/widgets look at the cpu itself, while others hit up the kernel for status. the ones that hit up the kernel are the issue. i'm not 100% on this, that's just what i've been told. all i know is my experience seems to match this.

Hmm, that's weird, cause I've been using setCPU with ICS on the Rezound for months and it works great! My CPU scales fine and hits all the frequencies its supposed to. The min and max frequencies do change around seemingly randomly, but anyone can see by watching the current frequency display that it is always somewhere in between the range I selected, and always appropriate for the system load.
I've always had CPU Master installed. I just removed it, we'll see how it goes.
Here is my project that I have been working on for a few weeks now. It is currently for Testing Only in its present condition.
My goal is to adjust the settings of the Kernel to squeeze out as much battery life as I can without sacrificing performance to our phones.
It is initially based on the DSC Kernel.
I have added I/O Schedulers as well as numerous Governors. I intend to narrow down the ones to just maybe 2 or 3 of the best ones. as well as adjust the CPU settings and speeds to give the most optimum configurations.
Here is the list so far, but will be reduced with further testing.
I/O Schedulers
cfq
deadline
noop
sio
vr
Governors
brazilianwax
conservative
interactive
interactivex
lagfree
lazy
liionheart
minmax
ondemand
performance
powersave
savagedzen
scary
smartassv2
smoothass
userspace
The biggest hurdle to get through right now, since it is my main focus, is the the screen is rotated which makes it NOT useable yet. Once I get past that, I can adjust settings and make other modifications.
Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated. I created a Github account and will try to figure out how to use it. I have also attached a Test5 Kernel as well as a reset Kernel.
I am reserving this section just in case I need it
Until the attachments are working again on XDA, I will post links to files shortly.

if i not mistaken.. the kernel is being optimized for longhorn ROM... and it is based on DSC kernel...
if my understanding is correct...
Actually it is based on the Phoenix Kernel. I intend on it it being a universal kernel. Once the base is setup and working, then I can test and tweak it further.
i have always felt droid does too much in the background causing quite an effect on battery life.
Too many processes auto loaded.
This may not be at linux kernel level, but rather above it on the droid's scheduler etc.,
Basically what i would like is to do is disable auto starting apps.
for eg., i dont want yahoo messenger ever to be in process list if i have not started it. and when killed should stay killed.
I guess that should improve the battery life quite a bit.

Yes. I use it in my Streak. But it kind of feels useless at times. Sometimes apps on reinstalling, get reset from autostarts..
its just no where close to 100% effective.
And it doesnt retain state. TI backup and full restore doesnt return it back to previous settings.
But actually to launch or not should be a user control, not a forced sarcastic maybe that droid is given me. Hence a deeper level of control is required.
sad to say but that how android works unfortunately... and since i cant afford iphone and also i pretty much hate symbian, well... had to stick to android at the moment.. lol...
Thanks Ten,
Do you think Bluetooth driver update?
That is a possibility. But that will be later down the road. The Kernel itself is a lot of come to go through, so baby steps right now.

Your not suppose to use a task killer it hurts the phone very badly if you enable KSM in performance menu and zram you will notice it works the best. And set CPU has problems with jb like it could boot loop your device its better to use the built in performance menu

Yes, the stock Performance menu options are your better choice for over-clocking and memory management.
If you don't see the Performance menu under system settings, you need to enable developer mode by selecting About Phone, then tapping on the android version info about a dozen times.
Regarding zram, I'll need to give it another try... Definitely go with ksm enabled.

The reason task-killers don't work well is because android changed the way it handles multi-tasking so that once you kill a process, it will bring it back anyway, so that if you keep trying to kill things you will actually waste more battery because it will constantly be coming back. Android is actually very good at managing memory and doesn't need your help to do it.
I only use KSM myself because I was getting lag after a while using zram, but maybe it was something I was doing wrong with the settings. My other settings as of now are Interactive governor (min 200 - max 1200) and noop scheduler.

Noop is one of the worse schedulers not asking you to change but row an so is the best

I usually use SIO but since I'm on the default kernel it's not an option. I tried ROW for a few days but it was making my music skip sometimes for some reason (especially while mutli-tasking while playing music), and noop doesn't seem to give me as many problems like that... so I'm not really sure. CFQ didn't seem to be that great either, so I'm hoping SIO will be added soon

Sio has always been great to me even the benchmarks give me crazy scores when using sio

zRam seems a zero-sum gain - or worse - on this phone

I just gave zRam a spin and experienced noticeable lag with what I do as a result. I have "Allow purging of assets" and KSM checked.
For the I/O Scheduler, ROW seems better than the CFQ I had been running. Running the interactive CPU governor. 1200/100 CPU speeds.
Seems good.

Ditto, except with purging checked I'm pretty sure I was getting lag from that too after a while, so on mine I only left KSM on. ROW also does seem the best, however lately it seems no matter what scheduler I choose I get music that skips every couple of minutes or so, but I think that's a rom issue and not so much a scheduler issue. I've always used 200 minimum so that my phone is snappier when waking up, but that's just a personal preference.

I definitely do want to try hellybelly, but right now I just don't have the patience to set up all my apps again so maybe on my day off I'll git it a whirl. How's battery life on it?

You might try a dirty flash to Helly after taking a backup (just wipe cache & Dalvik). It's based on cm10.1 so you should be all right...

Battery life is crazy good and I wouldn't recomeend dirty because it includes a whole different kernel and such and a lot of little things changed from cm10.1

Its nothing like cm10.1 lol it has a whole different kernel and a while lot of other stuff lol

Thanks man, I've been looking into changing settings recently, might try it out.
dirty-flash between CM10 and HellyBean = no problem (apparently)

I simply said that Helly is based upon CM10.1, and it is. Anyway, I just did a dirty flash (cache+dalvik wipe only) from the 02/22 build of CM10.1 to the latest HellyBean and it works fine. Actually, with the 1400mHz overclocking it was working really smoothly - although the rate of battery drain was apparent...
My hesitation in sticking with hellybean is based on my lack of understanding on how/if all of JT1134's ongoing fascinate-specific kernel/framework efforts, that are going into the CM10 nightlies, are being merged into the hellybean kernel... I guess I should go over to DT's thread and ask . Perhaps he's got all that happening whenever he merges the CM10 source updates...

All the merges go fine the merges to the cm kernel merges into the devil kernel

Well I decided to try Helly Bean and so far so good, on SmartassV2 and ROW - no skipping music and everything is really snappy. Battery life seems noticeably worse than pure CM 10.1 but nothing that still can't get me through the day. I wish the Devil settings were baked into the rom settings like they used to be, it's annoying to have to use 3rd party apps to control it. I really like the standalone AOKP performance settings apk but settings don't stick after reboot

They are baked in just tap build number 10 times it only has the stuff available in performance right now the only other feature that isn't in performance is touch wake

Oh thanks man, totally missed that one. Also, it's missing all of the RAM settings like XL and such but I never used that anyway so this will work just fine so thanks again
