I have one question for Slick Rom JB. I love it, but my phone keeps (daily) stop working (not response to the power button) and won't allow me to turn it back on, so I need to reset it. I don't want to have to reset it everyday as being my daily driver. Does/Did anyone experience this with this ROM? How do you stop it or what's wrong with my phone? Thanks. Also, is the kernel for this ROM available?
I am new, so I cannot in the forum. Thanks for the help.
I recommend MysteryEmotions' B18c1 kernel in the Original Development section. I'm fairly certain Slick is just using the stock kernel, whereas B18c1 has almost completely eliminated the BSOD issue.
Thanks

It actually uses a kernel built by Houstonn and he's making me a new one from source but yes until then use ME'S kernel

If it's uc'd to 162 like Houstonn's other ones that might be part of his problem. I recommend bumping the voltage up to 800mV on the lowest frequency if it's below that. If that doesn't work, bring the clock speed of the lowest limit up to the next increment and see if that helps.
My phone loves undervolting, but can't handle below 800mV or 162GHz. However, my high range 1512GHz plays well at 1000mV.
See if that works for you. Pretty much all phones have their own sweet spot.

Smartass scaling and undervolt go a long way for improved battery life.
Can any developer explain how it is possible to make a CPU faster and more effecient on battery, and why don't the manufacturers just do this before they sell it?
I understand the basics of how kernels work, but I wouldn't think you could safely double the speed of a processor while keeping it undervolted (coming from the d1)
Do they purposely underclock the kernel and used the same processors in "new" "faster" phones?

Very true. The Thunderbolt is my tenth Android phone since November 09, and in every single case, scaling and undervolting have made worlds of difference in battery life as well as speed. I'm sure that things won't be any different on the Thunderbolt. Of course, the other thing that makes a huge difference is not playing with it for hours on end. New toys always drain batteries pretty fast.

Part if it is what the industry calls "yield", that is just because they produce 10,000 1.5ghz cpu's in a batch, doesn't mean all 10,000 can run at 1.5ghz safely and stable, so manufacturers have to go with the fastest common speed In order to not waste those processesors that can't handle the full speed. Its the same thing with computers and videocards.

Try all three. See which one works best with your phone.
Though, High leakage is probably the safest to start, but still could be unadapted to your device.

Yes now I see that! The color is great.
My gosh this kernel is absolutely brilliant. My phone is flying and has SO MUCH memory.
I highly recommend running the Kernel Cleaner before flashing.
Downloaded all three and testing each one. I thought my phone was smooth before, this takes it to another level. I like the color screen change in the Voodoo Control App. From what I can tell so far, this kernel is phenomenal.
If the phone froze immediately when I set the max CPU to 1400 on LL, it's probably not right for me, right?

Yes guys. Please try High Leakage first. Most of us will have to use that as our primary kernel so don't get too greedy.
Can't download from xda app. The links appear to be inside quoted text and therefore are not followable
Also, how is audio volume with this kernel? I'm curious if it will do anything to help the known audio issues with cm7..
Well with all the dual core stuff going on i figured it would be good to make this flashable so it can be used with anything. So here it is, All the credit goes to mike1986 for this technology found in his sensation rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 and -viperboy-
On to the good stuff, what this mod does.
It controls your cpu's for a good balance between power and performance by changing the following:
Enables the second cpu while phone is awake
Sets cpu frequency and governor for second cpu
Sets cpu frequency and governor for first cpu
While the phone is sleeping it underclocks the first cpu to 384000 and sets the governor to conservative, also disables the second cpu.
When the battery gets below 25% it will disable the second cpu and underclock the first cpu to 702000 and set the governor to conservative.
With this you don't need to use any other cpu managers ie., virtuous_oc, setcpu, etc.
The file can be edited at /system/xbin/pcm and init.d needs to be enabled on your rom.
Post any ideas or problems you have.
EDIT: I fixed the invalid argument problem occuring in logcat. It was happening cause it kept writing to the file when it was already changed. Fixed it by adding a check.
Users experiencing lag please try the new upload (PCM-DualCore1.1-signed.zip) and see if it works better and post results. Thank You.
Changes:
If you use virtuous oc daemon, i added a file that will work with it. It simply enables the second cpu and underclocks it while its sleeping. It can be used with any other cpu manager because it doesn't effect the first cpu core at all.
Awesome, thanks so much!! This will come in REAL handy!!

sorry for the noob question, but what do you mean it enables the second cpu? weren't we using both cpu's all this time? isn't that the point of dual processors?
on the other end of things...can the file be editing for more aggressive underclocking when the screen is off, and other steps in between?
Its a huge difference w dual mode! Way way faster at opening things.

It's not a synchronous core. Meaning it only calls on the second core when needed. This hack forces both cores to run all the time when the screen is on.
What are the benefits? Eh. Well have to see. I think HTC set it up the way it is because it's better on battery. I'm interested on a little more info as well though.
Most people from the synergy rom nighties say it has no real difference. Besides...1.2ghz is fast enough for just about every application short a few games even on a SINGLE core

I wasn't talking about working on this script. Misfit and I have been working on chanting the ramdisk and creating a similar script. But yes it will work on any firmware due to its hardware related more than firmware.
Also, its fast for sure. But it needs to settle in too.

So when the screen is on...does it run both cores at the same clock speed with same governor?
So I went ahead and flashed this. I'm running viper ROM and silverneedle 1.0. I use system panel, and it appears that even after flashing this that core 2 is only being called on when needed. Core 1 is still handling most of the load.
Here's the monkey wrench. The rom supports init.d and also has oc daemon built into it. However, if you use a different kernel than stock on viper it stops the daemon from automatically running on startup. Could this be the same case here?
well I looked at the code and it looks alright. similar to my SetCPU profiles.
I might modify it a little though. i'm on a 4000mAh battery so I don't need powersaver to kick in at 25%
will use it all day tomorrow and report at night.
Could someone please post before and after quadrant or smartbench scores?
Most apps are not multithreaded so they will only use one CPU anyway. Turning the second one on is going to do nothing but drain the battery and it won't result in any increase in speed.
Thanks,
Mike

Your not supposed to have the ocdameon, and this script running at the same time. If you are, that would be your problem, as they both will be contradicting eachother. You can only have one, or the other. It says this in the OP, to not have anything else controlling the CPU, but this script. You should prolly flash a different kernel without the dameon, then check it again with CPU master.

This works with Synergy/Viper ROMS correct? Interested in flashing this and seeing how much battery life it'll save...
anybody get the sleep of death on their phones? ive read about it and i just had one last night when i was on a charger. im overclocked to 1228/268 running on demand.
could it be the kernel doing this? im running kangbang on cm7. should i ask for a replacement phone or try to change my governor?
SOD is almost always kernel related and was a big issue when I had the Captivate. Lowering the clock speed usually fixes it but each phone and cpu has different thresholds, one incident isn't much cause for alarm. Run a cpu stress test and see if you're stable at your current configuration.

It could, dhemke had me test a ROM for him a few months back that had 4g issues due to the way the kernel was cooked into the ROM. Kernels are like drivers in the windows world, its the software that directly interacts with the hardware.

I really want to overclock my phone because it freezes a lot.
Also, I haven't had any luck with radios, either. These flash okay, but with dramatically slower speeds. Right now, I get on avg. 10 mpbs, but I've seen people with upwards of 50.

The only kernel capable of over clocking right now is ptmr3s kernel but I believe it only works with that hong Kong firmware. There are older kernels that can over clock but won't work with the latest cm merges. Like Shane said don't max out most notes can't handle it I never go higher then 1792. Over clocking is great but I don't think we will see a over clock kernel any time soon maybe look into scripts and tweaks.

Under clocking does not reduce performance. Mediocre gaming does not need 1.5ghz if you UC to 1.2/1.1 your performance will remain the same... Out of the extra hour of battery life that doesn't reduce performance its kind of a no brainer. Anyways stay on topic.
