Hi guys,I have a question.how can I set my phone to dual core,so I can save my battery life? I'm on omega Aokp v4.2 and Syiah kernel.
I've tried to set it on Stweaks but when I get back in there it stays quad core by default..what I am doing wrong since I'm a noob?

You missed section named "Galaxy S III Q&A", right? You must have.
Do you press Apply after you make a change in STweaks ?
BTW, it won't affect your battery life THAT much. Pegasusq knows how to manage the cores pretty good.
Actually Siyah Kernel doesn't work well with Stweaks at this moment. It's written on Siyah's website that most feature on Stweaks doesn't work.
So which would be the kernel that work with Stweaks? And yes, I've hit the button that says apply

I don't think any kernel works because Stweaks is Siyah's software. Since the new 4.1.2 lots of apps (kitchen) in many ROM doesn't work.
can you provide any link or article clearly confirming that dual core saves battery? i've read somewhere that it has a negative effect because the phone takes longer time to get to deep sleep
im not 100 % sure though, just learning
Hey just my two cents but on stock ROMs with stock kernel using the power save toggle really saves in the battery department.
Also I don't know what everyone is doing with their phones but my battery is great compared to previous phones, iPhone, one x, g2x etc....

I don't have that for sure,that dual core saves battery,but in the stock rom,when you activate the power saving mode,it disables some cores or some features of it..so that's from where i get my thoughts... Besides that,I'm using a Aokp rom and despite the fact that it's blazing fast,it's an awesome experience.but the (dis)advantage of taking the most out of the phone,doesn't give us enough profit of the battery.. What would you suggest so I could keep the Aokp and have the most of the battery?

Hi.
I have a problem. I run out of batt. before the workday is over.
Im runnung push mail so. I change it to evert 15m. And it help alot.
Now im need a little more to get thrugh the workday.
So is there is way to deactivate one core?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yes there is!
First, flash a kernel that supports the feature: Siyah kernel or Lulz kernel. (Don't ask me how to root if you haven't done it yet!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263838
Next, download Tegrak 2nd core app from market. Switch to 'Single Core Mode' to use only 1 core all the time. (Dynamic Hotplug mode is the default).
Note that, even if cpu load is very high (like when playing hd games), only one core can be used which might cause freezing.
So whenever you want to save power, use Single Core Mode, in other situations, use dynamic hot plug mode.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tegrak.secondcore
If you don't have already, you will need root.
2nd Core free on the Market
A kernel that supports it: [KERNEL] (XWKJ3) Lulz Kernel Build 15/Tegrak Build 29
Hope that helped
Edit: Beaten to it in the post above by a nanosecond,......again!
I think it's unnecessary since mobile CPUs manages usage pretty well, mine stays at 200MHz most of the time, i can't see how disable the second core will help but pump more load to the first one, increasing it's clock and battery consumption. I can be wrong though, if i am please show me some statistics to confirm.
I sort of agree. But.......... From my very limited understanding of (particularly custom) kernels is that the 2nd core only comes online and scales up/down at certain load thresholds. So in theory, if the phone is just idling away at 200mHz (or even 100mHz), the 2nd core won't ramp up until , say, 90%. So based on this, light use of the phone won't make much use of the 2nd core anyway.
In conclusion; As you will need root anyway, advise use a custom ROM and kernel with tweaked governor to improve vastly improve both performance and battery life. You can also UC (underclock) the CPU from 1200 -> 1000 or 800 mHz too.
2 Recommendations are:
1) ROM : [ROM][XWKJ3][2.3.5] CheckROM RevoHD™ V3.1.1 |Stabilized|Optimized|Customized!
2) Kernel : [KERNEL] SiyahKernel v2.2i - "One kernel to rule them all" (SAMMY&AOSP ROMs) with smartassV2 governor (100 ->xxx mMz)
But the decesion to root is yours, and there many more excellent choices of ROM and kernels. Just search XDA Forums and you'll find plenty more battery saving tips such as the last FAQ in [KERNEL] SiyahKernel v2.2i - "One kernel to rule them all" (SAMMY&AOSP ROMs)
Root my phone at this moment is not an option. Company polecy and garatie related.
Now i turn on the 2 power saving modes.
At this state it may hold triurh the day. But now 2 irretating recycle icons showed up..

Oh well, was going to advise you to use the hyperdroid rom - so many people can hit 5 hours + screen on time
Hello everybody, I'm opening the thread just to read opinions from you all about the kernels that are currently available.
The one I've been using is void #echo, which in my humble opinion with the combination of a tweaked deadline scheduler and a lionheart governor provides great performance, battery life and minimum lag whatsoever.
I do understand that it depends on needs which shall be used, however, I would like to know which one to you guys works smoother and provides better performance / battery life.
I always aim for performance over battery life (I didn't buy a SGSII to get poor performance )
In terms of battery life, I can get it up to 22~23 hours on battery, using WCDMA only / HSPA+ during day and enabling airplane mode during night.
Fast Dormancy disabled and deep sleep working correctly (XXKL1).
I don't like the complexity of siyah and to be good on batt you have to tweak it more with UV and thing like that ,wish is not my style to make trying/errors on my brand new 600$phone !
I tried speed mod wish is very great actually with great overall perform
void echo is the one Im trying right now ! since 2 days its feel very strong and good on battery with good performance on games without getting the phone very hot
neak is good but its more a copy/past of the overall coders over wish is good in one sense but its a bit laggy in game with lucrative mod but defenatly one of my favorite kernel out there ! Im waiting for 1.3 to let simone correct some bugs
Siyah is the tweakers' heaven. You can fine tune every last bit of your phone.
I personally love void, it feels very fast and has good battery life.
I tried NEAK for a short time and it seemed fine but quite many report lag in games(using on demand governor seems to fix it though).
Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm waiting for N.E.A.K 1.3x too

as one of the posts above said siyah is the tweakers heaven..haha trust me i never used it before as i thought it was to complicated. but once you have done your reading and read other peoples posts and what they do to get the best out of the kernel you have a winner...all the rest look good i am not saying anything bad but for me from now on any rom i use siyah is coming with me due to the fact it has so many options to it and so much i can play around with i am in heaven
hope that helps...oh and on a side note i have been tempted to upgrade to a different rom but the current base i am using and with the kernel i have and the settings that i am using the only time i will actually jump ship is if one there is a stable cm9 out there by the amazing team hacksung. Two if Gokhanmoral does a siyah kernel for cm9 which i think will be when kernel sources are made available and three cause i have already my voodoo app all configured with my poweramp player to get the best sound possible i would be foolish to make the step at this moment of time...
So my advice for battery speedmod if you are not into tweaking alot with voltages and clock frequencies and if you want the best of both worlds then siyah
siyah 2.6.4.

Great feedback bro, I tried Siyah in the past but honestly when I used it I didn't know there were parameters to tweak (didn't check the REF documentation LOL).
Do you get smoother behavior / better performance / higher benchmark scores tweaking the parameters? In quadrant I get around 4604 with void.echo.
as my "personal" opinion...
since i instaled V3RTR3MA.V.4.0 rom, i've been using void#echo
couldn't ask for more its fast and stable... nothing too complicated and i could get 8186 in the quadrant benchmark... a really great kernel...
void echo.By far best kernel for common user,who doesn't want to do all kind of tweaks&stuff.By default is great.If you are into a litle tweaking, you can OC and UV without any issues.
I used it since it was released.No issues at all, battery friendly, great performance.
Trully a KISS principle follower.
My personal advice to all,avoid all roms&kernels that are heavily customized and have alot of useless "tweakes" and scripts on them.The more things on it, more chances of breaking up.
Look for simple builds,as close as it can be to stock,eye candy is not performance.
Jkay makes great themes wich you can apply to the rom.

100% agree most of the battery better and greater speed for these kernels is actually unproven and just advertising bumf .
I have used the kernels listed in the topic and in each case stock kernel has benchmarked better using multiple tests .

I agree with your opinion, and that's the reason why I use only Sammy Stock ROMs
I've flashed a number of roms and kernels in the past few months since May, best combination for me is usually a near stock rom, plus a stable kernel like Speedmod, they just work without needing any tweaking apart from custom set up that's it.
I don't generally like the number of tweaks in some roms but each to their own.
I find stock fine and fluid and stable enough without much problems.
Yeah..i get 6500+ without rawr and oc to 1600.you forget one thing,ALL other kernels have tweaked I/O scheduler enabled. Knzo says very clear in his thread.it's a way to cheat,that's why this tweak is not default on his kernel.
About rom,look for odexed.tornado2 by brotuck is one of the best around(odexed,pretty much stock,only useless apps removed from it).combined with jkay theme and coid echo...my s2 flies

Thanks for the suggestion dude! I'll take a look to it! Beside the removal of stock apps, what tweaks are included to achieve that score?
Best kernel so far for me is hardcore's speedmod.
Fast, first time I broke the 6000 barrier on Antutu benchmark without overclock. And great battery life, one full day + charging only by the end of day two, with normal use.
Normal use for me is making phone calls, surfing web and playing games sometimes, not more than 20min per "session". Turning wifi and 3g off when phone on standby. And switching to airplane mode overnight.
And yes I tried other kernels....

I have been using void echo kernel these past few days. But I switched to Speedmode because of an issue. My phone gets very hot once I backup my nand on CWM. Also sometimes when I play games. Do you guys have this issue too?

Hi, I was wondering how people get such huge benchamarks on antutu benchmark for example then it hit me that that's inpossible with stock firmware D:
Does anyone know what rom/kernal they used to get 15000 on antutu when my phone get's 6300 QQ
A few options and their links would be GREATLY appreciated. <3
Also so far i saw 2 roms with 4.1.1-4.1.2 interface one was Cyanogen 10 i think and the other was one featured on the XDA page front BUT it looked like it had a problem, it had those 3 buttons on the bottom which S2 does not need since it has physical buttons. <.<
Certain kernels allow you to set your phones CPU/GPU processor to overclock...your standard maximum setting is 1200mhz...whereas certain kernels will allow you to reach a CPU/GPU speed of up to 1600mhz, resulting in in possible a higher scoring benchmark(antutu or quadrant). I wouldn't advise you to try this though until you've researched it a bit more and understand what you are doing...as you're more likely to make your phone performance not so good at all..you could even brick your device. The on screen buttons you see at pictures of cm10(4.1.1/4.1.2 ROMs) is a navbar which is optional to use.it is originally a part of the os on the galaxy nexus.finally....you're on the wrong thread.... this should be in q&a.

I've had 2 other android phones that i rooted and put roms on successfully alone, and overclocked.
I found some kernal called "siyah" it's a stable.
I decided i'm gonna do a backup, then format-wipe caches and **** and then i'll put a few roms i want to try out
If i don't like them i'll restore and i'll put siyah kernal and overclock till i can bake eggs on my phone.
Hey, I have my Galaxy note 2 on stock rom, 4.1.2. Odexed
I was wondering which is the best kernel that supports swaping external memory on internal
I really need your help, i dont know which kernel I should choose, I was going to try redpill kernel but people are saying that it has battery draining problems
Please help me, I baby my note 2 and I would rather die than seeing my note 2 having issues, and thats why I dont flash custom roms
Or, if there is a way to swap external mem on internal with some kind of app or OTHER WAY THAN A KERNEL
Thanks
You can use search button for that script. And you have to use kernel with init.d support.
perseus has best battery life with good performance, high costumisation by stweaks. agni best performance set by trickster mod problem is i can't set over the gpu... neak is good but i think it,s not so smooth. that was a shot review of some kernel. my choice at the time is agni
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Perseus really does have the best battery drain.
But it lags in games.
Redpill has the best audio engine. Scoobydoo
Some members like. Neak more. Wolfson
Adam is currently going into the right way... You could. Try adam... Seems to. Ne. Very good.
Every custom kernel supports init.d.
Just flash the mod exsd2internalsd..... And you're good to go

Stock is the best kernel, if you care about performance. Period.
But you'll realize that after using a fluid ROM like ARHD, with stock ROM performance of all kernels felt same to me. Still if I had to choose one I'd go for N.E.A.K, as it is pretty straightforward with nifty features, just if it had the exFAT support!

I don't know on what basis you're making this claim, but anyways it's been the exact opposite for me - Redpill, Perseus, Devil all have great fluidity (had to mess about with the settings of Perseus a bit to eliminate the initial lag - but with no other) - and I haven't tried OC/UV much. Not to mention the headphone/speaker amp and saturation prevention options, screen calibration etc. which you miss out on stock.

The basis was my own testing with Perseus, Red Pill and even Adam, for a pretty long time. Not a single one was as fast and fluid as stock, even with the modified settings of stock kernel found here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41902544&postcount=4602
Oh, and as I said, if you are on stock ROM you won't notice anything, that's why I used Perseus as long as I was on stock ROM, but since I moved to ARHD, there was no other option other than stock.
Yes, I agree there are some advantages of custom kernels, like saturation prevention as you said, but no way I was giving up very noticeable performance degradation for some extra features without which I am not bothered at all. And since I installed Viper there are some amplifications, so that point is unchecked from custom kernels advantage list.
PS: If you have no problem could you send me your settings of whatever kernel you are using? I wanna try once more and see. Please don't bother if that kernel doesn't support exFAT.

I never ever stayed stock except for the while I had to send it to service. Otherwise I used redpill (exFAT supported) and I've noticed no difference at all from when I had stock unrooted. What's your issue - are you experiencing lag with custom kernels? Or what?
Fair point regarding Viper (love it and use it always myself), but FLL tuning and DAC resampling options make it sound better at that. IMO.
I stay on Perseus, mainly because of its color calibration and all the Stweaks customization features. Now if I use stock kernel, I feel my screen is completly unrealistic, almost fluorescent lol
As for performances, the Note 2 is just powerful enough not to see any difference between kernels. People using ARHD will always tell you that stock kernel is the best for the following reason: Mike1986 says stock is the best and won't give support if you're using another kernel. Period.
I'm using ARHD, but can't stand the fake colors and the lack of customization provided by stock kernel (no GPU overclock for example, no CPU overclock, nothing you can do if your "whites" are pink or blue, etc)

What the hell does this suppose to mean? Mike says.....blah blah....I don't care what Mike says! And what support are you talking about? I was on Perseus while I was using A.R.H.D, one can flash any kernel on ARHD, what to support there?
It's my view, and I am quite sure of all the ARHD users too, the stock kernel gives much more fluid and lag free performance than any other kernel available. Everybody likes customization, but as I said not with the price of performance compromise.
And you can OC GPU/CPU with Tegrak on Stock kernel. Get your facts straight before typing some gibberish.
Perfect example of why "best ROM/kernel" threads are not allowed.

Some of you might remember me from a time long ago and a galaxy far away!
I built/maintained dagkernel on release day for the Note 1, bringing root+overclock+recovery on day one of release
Well, recently my home was burglarized and all of my electronics taken. I took a very big ol hit that made me a sad panda Along with this stuff was my fancy-pants Alienware M18X laptop (minus the power brick, so they can't use it!) - which had all my source codes and development enviornments on it.
Rather than cry over spilt milk (really, I cried for a week! ) I decided I would re-build my development enviornment and crank out a new kernel for Galaxy Note, which is the most powerful computing device I currently have! (I am developing on an old school core 2 duo w/1GB RAM that sure feels slower!)
So, build enviornment is set up and the first build is done. Which is simply a re-built ramdisk and kernel from AT&T source. Using the newest available prebuilt toolchain from Google. I won't release this version as pretty much nothing is changed. But I wanted to get my dev enviornment up and running A first release with actual, substantial changes should be available within the day.
Support will include 4.1.2 stock ROMs (for the S-Pen love), CM, and whatever else I might support (suggestions?!)
GPU/CPU overclock will be supported, with the separate interfaces for overclocking each via an app. Hopefully I can actually push the app out this time around, it stayed internal only last time (although all frequencies and voltages were changable via boot script)
I took a look at the existing 4.1.2 kernels floating around and noted that most of them neglected some patches I made to Samsung's original source that did some funky things like re-set CPU1 (the second CPU) to stock speeds after toggling it off (for power saving)
As a result, the performance of these kernels is probably not quite what it should be after the first CPU shuts off (which happens almost immediately after android is done booting fully, when the load demand on the CPU(s) die)
Of course, my source will be public as it has been since day 1 and anyone is welcome to source my patches without asking. Viva la developers!
May your Galaxy Note run faster than this pos Dell desktop I'm using real-soon-now(tm)

For reference at OC to 1.83ghz/performance gov I was able to pull 9556 on antutu benchmark with performance gov and mpdecision disabled, ~6320 prior to overclocking. GPU is at 300MHz.
With ondemand gov and mpdecision enabled, looking around 8550. Lets try with performance gov and mpdecision enabled now...!
These scores seem about on par from what I remember from the first go-round I don't yet have the configuration sysfs interfaces set up.
Wow u know ure stuff n that really sucked about ur belongings but glad ure back in the community! I don't own a i717 but love to see all the roms u guys provide brings envy (in a good way) since my t879 has disappeared lol but good luck n the guys look very excited ure back...

Awesome bro. How is the battery life? You going to put this out tonight?
Here is a first version, in TWRP/CWM compatible zip file. It is set to 1.83Ghz/300Mhz OC ondemand by default, with mpdecision left enabled. You should be able to use a tool like system tuner to change cpu frequencies and governors. I did not yet enable init.d support for a script in /etc/init.d to change frequencies on boot. It is on my to-do
This build is for 4.1.2 Stock/TW-based ROMs and most likely won't work on CM. Again, that's coming soon
As for battery life, I really don't know yet. I haven't had the phone disconnected from the computer during development, and this computer is so much slower than my old one I don't dare waste time doing things like that just yet. You guys try and let me know
I am thinking about 4 distinct releases,
High Power 4.1.2/Stock and CM
Power Save 4.1.2/Stock and CM
That way I can make one for balls-out speed and one for day to day use. I'm a fan of speed since I have an external battery charger and 4 batteries.

Seems like everything is running a-ok. I'm using it now Going to test it for the next couple days and see how it runs
Feels a little sluggish to me right off the bat. Tweaking the speed/governor with an app brings it right up to snappiness. Not too bad for a first run on an entirely new(to me) anciently slow computer, though. Only gets better from here
