Guest hankhandsome Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 so with this undervolted kernel and wifi, do i even need to bother with the cpu governor ? will it naturally consume less power overall or mainly while in idle ?. that's my main aim really, to just get more out of the battery - not interested in overclocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest targetbsp Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) The CPU governor determines at what speed the CPU runs at depending upon its load. Undervolting merely reduces the power used when the CPU speed is low. You still need the governor to actually set the CPU speed as needed. And bothering with it or not, you can't actually not have one. If you'd never set it before, it will still be using the default one chosen by the rom developer. As it saves power when the CPU is at low speed, it will mostly be saving power when it is not in use. But it will also save power during tasks that are not CPU intensive.

Thankyou for that, i'll make sure to set it then. Clears it up nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stu C Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I installed sej's latest ROM yesterday... Went to bed last night with 21%, and woke up in the morning to find still 21%. Can't ask for better than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin_cz Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 lol, good answer! :D does it work with regular calls or is it just skype and other voip clients? what app do you use? anyway, here's my build with the cpu/wifi undervolting and 2-way-recording kernel, as well as the usual miui battery bar and softbuttons. usual place (can someone mirror please?) md5sum: c5e601cb3cf799eb1bbc9cd0f3605040 update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-Blade-KANG-21jan-signed.zip Thaaanks so much. PERFECT ROM for me have been just created. 2-way-recording was the last thing I missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't ask for better than that! I installed 18jan3 yesterday (didn't see the 21jan, but what are the differences between them ? ), went to bed with 86% and woke up with 85%. Wifi Off, data and 3G on (but toggle 2G was running and should have turned it off). That's juste perfect ! I tried other ROMS before (MMHMP and Swedish Snow), but they were lacking a lot of very useful CM7 features. Thanks a lot ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't ask for better than that! i was also getting zero usage (set minimum to 122mhz too) until i missed an sms and the fscking led notification ate 1% of my battery per hour. does anyone know how to turn them off? if i set this.... settings > cyanogenmod settings > interface > led notifications > unconfigured > edit category settings > led mode > force led off > save ....it seems to add a miscellaneous category, which i've also set to force led off, will that do it? it seems to have for a missed call at least. i can't believe people wanted led notifications so much. the difference between 18jan3 and 21jan is just the call recording, they both have cpu/wifi undervolting.

It dont turn off 3G in sleep-mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest targetbsp Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) i can't believe people wanted led notifications so much. I find it far more useful to know I've missed a call than save a couple of percent battery - considering it only drains when it needs to. I don't often go too long without checking the LED such that it would have a massive effect on my battery. But yes, the setting you've played with should do it - though I've never tried turning it off! I have used that to change the colour though.

Guest snowbord Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) And according to my logs, 332 people downloaded the kernel alone in a day. We're still going strong around here. :) I'm certain there's lots of lurkers around, like yours truly. :) Been using nightly 220+ with soft buttons. How is the latest nightly compared to this? I'm currently giving Moldovan V9 a go, with the undervolt kernel. Is CM7 comparable in terms of battery life?

Guest ejhollin Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 So there's only one more thing to do now for CM7: USB host mode. Who's going to sweet talk johnsmithx to release his code? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sulthekk Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Who's going to sweet talk johnsmithx to release his code? :) He cleanly told that he isn't going to release it, and looks like he doesn't mind violating gpl. He didn't even answered when i asked him about releasing the source to TomG, so i guess he totally let us alone with his binaries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't even answered when i asked him about releasing the source to TomG, so i guess he totally let us alone with his binaries... looking at kallt_kaffe's device and kernel github projects, what is needed is: create cm7/device/zte/blade/system.prop with the following line: ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/usbdisk add this line to cm7/device/zte/blade/vold.fstab: dev_mount usbdisk /mnt/usbdisk auto /devices/platform/msm_hsusb add these lines to kernel_zte_blade/arch/arm/configs/cyanogen_blade_defconfig: CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y CONFIG_SERIO=y CONFIG_SERIO_LIBPS2=y CONFIG_USB=y CONFIG_USB_ANNOUNCE_NEW_DEVICES=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_MSM=y CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y CONFIG_NTFS_FS=y CONFIG_NTFS_RW=y CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT="utf8" CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND=y CONFIG_USB_OTG=y remove these lines from kernel_zte_blade/arch/arm/configs/cyanogen_blade_defconfig: CONFIG_USB_GADGET_DEBUG_FILES=y CONFIG_USB_GADGET_DEBUG_FS=y CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT="iso8859-1" the hardest thing to patch would be kernel_zte_blade/drivers/usb/otg/msm72k_otg.c Edited January 22, 2012 by sej7278 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest szymko1995 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Is there any vanilla CM 7.2 with UV and no add-ons (maybe only updated gapps) based on last sources? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to CWM patch a CM7 KANG version with his zip file, but it seemed to break my wifi. (I'm not sure that's how the zip file was supposed to be used).

(I'm not sure that's how the zip file was supposed to be used). not the whole thing but you could get the kernel config off at least i guess, which would help. syzmko1995 - as far as a vanilla cm7 goes with undervolting, no there isn't one as the patches haven't been accepted into the cm7 tree and there have been no nightlies for months. my 21jan kang has miui-like battery bar and softbuttons, both of which are disabled by default unless you specifically chose them over the defaults. 2-way recording is enabled in the kernel but without an app you wouldn't notice it. it doesn't contain any gapps, i don't believe in bundling them. so its probably as near to vanilla cm 7.2 as you will get (with undervolting).
