thanks a lot for the update

I think it is important to renice the processes of cpu_sleep back to 0 in cpu_normal
otherwise their nice value will always remain 1 & the processes will be ignored during cpu load

/etc/dbus-scripts/cpu_normal

Code:

renice 0 `pgrep modest`

renice 0 `pgrep browserd`

renice 0 `pgrep image-viewer`

@All
qtlockscreen users can test this

add this line in /etc/dbus-scripts/cpu_sleep

Code:

renice -1 `pgrep qtlockscreen`

this will increase the priority of qtlockscreen when using

and in /etc/dbus-scripts/cpu_normal

Code:

renice 19 `pgrep qtlockscreen`

this will decrease the priority of qtlockscreen when screen is unlocked

will try and report ..thanks a lot though :)

Im so sorry. the path was incorrect! the correct path for cpu_sleep & cpu_normal is /opt/dbus-scripts/
so sorry guys!!

its oficial...witn kp49 and dsp profile..if i install batterypatch i spend more battery..as for speespatch..same old xtem message??..i am uninstalling this..thks a lot karam for all your amazing work..you changed my n900 life..but this time you were outnumbered.

Hi,
After installing new battery patch, my phone goes in reboot loop. I am using KP42.
I restored via Backupmenu and BatteryPatch.v2 is working fine.

i don't think it's important to do renice 0 in
/opt/dbus-scripts/cpu_normal

because it takes up more battery on continues usage and it doesn't increase the performance

but about qtlockscreen
as for me i don't use it
but i will create a new package called : batterypatch-testing
including all the unfinished tests and when something is confirmed
i'm going to move it batterypatch (the stable current one)

@AKEEL

do you have unstable N900 ? when activating smartrelfex ?
this is strange

@ed_boner

that's your opinion and i respect it but :

more performance with speedpatch?
the xterm message stays up your tail?
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
dsp profiles is just like overclock profile except the voltages (overclock has the stock ones) to prevent reboots
although smartreflex has it's own voltages which apply them on the cpu (so probably the voltages in overclock are ignored ?)

but with batterypatch :
vfs trick ... gives a lot of extra standby renice ... the same
and conversative mode in overclock gives a longer continues usage time

forgive me if i miss understand you but i made my point clear

@All
sorry for taking long to update the 1st post
this should be done soon

Yes, Its shows desktop and reboot itself. Previous BatteryPatch v2 is working fine.
SmartReflex is active. VDD1=0, VDD2=1.
Is it bcoz of old KP version?
I am using KP42, bcoz my bluetooth headset Nokia BH-214 is working stable only with KP42.

2011-12-04 11:27

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Speed Patch + Battery Patch + Tweaks --> Everything Needed To Have A Perfect N900 (HUGE UPDATES)

yes this is one of the reasons
but the latest version detects the kernel-power version installed
and installs the patch according to it
======== if you are using KP42-46-47-48 batterypatch should activate vdd1=1 and vdd2=1 but the MAXfreq is 750 (stable with vdd1)
maybe your N900 is not even stable with 750

solutions :

1-) install the latest KPv49 (maybe will solve your problem or maybe not) and then update to the latest batterypatch

2-) if you have v2 installed (the older one)
then :

Code:

sudo gainroot

mkdir temp

cd temp

apt-get install -d batterypatch # press y after that and make sure you did apt-get update before with devel-enabled

mv /var/cache/apt/archives/batterypatch* ./batterypatch

dpkg -x batterypatch ./

rm -r /opt/dbus-scripts

mv dbus-scripts /opt

chmod -R +rwx /opt/dbus-scripts

mv etc/dbus-scripts.d/* /etc/dbus-scripts.d/

cd ..

rm -r temp

PS: it's safe to uninstall it from HAM too

this will let you have an updated batterypatch features without VDD1 enabled
.........
it could've been easier with editing overclock profile only
but as you said that you have a reboot loop
then those are the only solutions

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Speed Patch + Battery Patch + Tweaks --> Everything Needed To Have A Perfect N900 (HUGE UPDATES)

What is the actual max. frequence with batterypatch? I'm using speedpatch, kernel-power v49 and 720p rec/watch.

@karam: It would be great if u update the first post with the supported/max frequencies. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Speed Patch + Battery Patch + Tweaks --> Everything Needed To Have A Perfect N900 (HUGE UPDATES)

tks for answering karam..maybe my english is not the best..the twoquoted statements say the same thing for me..with speedpatch the phone seems faster but i am kind of disapointed abot the xterm message and about batterypatch..well in my experience for now,although i understand your theory, dlesnt work for me as i could confirm it drains mmore battery...hope you dont take this the wrong way as you are one of my n900 heroes..hope you continue to work and improve and in a near future prove me wrong.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Speed Patch + Battery Patch + Tweaks --> Everything Needed To Have A Perfect N900 (HUGE UPDATES)

I will not find in this theme of a command how again to activate all configs cpu_sleep and cpu_normal. I them пересобрал itself a little and here after reboot they probably won't earn, updated QCUFreq, but the new version didn't show temperature as I am necessary also was rolled away back and have stuck save and and there is empty still, now works but I can it have made cancellation of options. Also I remember here commands were. For returning of 2 parameters and configuration automatic loading

@ed_borner
look at the reply below yours... i swear that your english is fine ..LOL

now @GomerS

the things i understand from your post are :

1-) you are trying to apply all configs ? . they are applied by default but the above post by me was for AKEEL only !

2-) temperature problem is caused by a kernel problem not from any of patches (also mentioned in qcpu)
a reboot should solve it

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Speed Patch + Battery Patch + Tweaks --> Everything Needed To Have A Perfect N900 (HUGE UPDATES)

Heres my 2 cents:

kernel power v 48, as soon as i upgraded to batterypatch-2.5, my phone went into a reboot loop.

After a little tinkering, i noticed this was because of voltage settings in the overclock script, I then copied the voltage settings from version 2 of the battery patch and then the reboot loop was gone.

i cant compare them as I overwrote the upgraded overclock script doh!

here are my current overclock settings:

# kernel configuration file generated by /usr/sbin/kernel-config
MINFREQ=250
MAXFREQ=950
FREQS="0:30,90 125:30,90 250:38,180 500:48,360 550:54,400 600:60,430 700:60,430 750:60,430 805:60,430 850:60,500 900:60,500 950:60,500 1000:60,500 1100:72,520 1150:72,520 "
SMARTREFLEX_VDD1=0
SMARTREFLEX_VDD2=1
GOVERNOR=conservative
UP_THRESHOLD=75
SAMPLING_RATE=150000
IGNORE_NICE_LOAD=1
POWERSAVE_BIAS=20

If anyone needs to replace their voltage settings :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Speed Patch + Battery Patch + Tweaks --> Everything Needed To Have A Perfect N900 (HUGE UPDATES)

thank you for reporting
updating to the configs given by AliasXZ

looks like i changed vdd1=0 to 1 in overclock profile for KPv48
should be fixed now

on it's way to devel

//EDIT

i have updated the 1st post
and will add FAQS section soon

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Speed Patch + Battery Patch + Tweaks --> Everything Needed To Have A Perfect N900

Hello! I was installing the battery patch by hand (because my N900 is overly-customized) and noticed something.

In the postinst script you have:

Code:

if [ -f /etc/speedpatch ]; then

mv /opt/dbus-scripts/cpu_sleep_speedpatch /opt/dbus-scripts/cpu_sleep 

fi

but no /etc/speedpatch exists. The speedpatch, if I'm correct, is installed in /etc/event.d/speedpatch. This means the cpu_sleep_speedpatch is not installed even if speedpatch is indeed installed.

Can you confirm this?
Thanks a lot for your great work :)

you can overclock as much as you want
but if you want to overclock more than 900mhz then disable vdd1 before ! (with KPV49)

oh ***** haven't noticed that
i will fix that right away
thank you for warning me

it's job is to renice tasks (if speedpatch installed then /dev/cgroup)
if not (then from /sysparts)

although it's not very important and effective as other configs

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Speed Patch + Battery Patch + Tweaks --> Everything Needed To Have A Perfect N900

Thanks for this awesome improvements. I tried only speedpatch because I don't want that things about auto underclocking in batterypatch. After install and twice reboot there was significant difference in speed(it was much faster of course) especially when switching windows in microB. However, after some days I got in x-terminal those errors desribed in post #2749. My n900 slowed down, too. Then I tried just reinstalling speedpatch and rebooting the device once and problem vanished from x-terminal, it also sped up again. :D

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Speed Patch + Battery Patch + Tweaks --> Everything Needed To Have A Perfect N900

@karam
I found some linux governor tweaking tips in this website. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/li...req-3/?ca=drs-

Its a very long and detail guide with lots of comparing graphs. I couldn't read the full guide. But it concludes with tweaking the conservative governor's up & down threshold which seems to have a significant effect on battery saving.

"overclock" profile of batterypatch uses conservative governor. I wasn't using it for a while because I changed it to ondemand. But today I thought about giving it a try. Then I find that first time the conservative governor loads with its default parameters ignoring the "overclock" profile & always remains that way.

Code:

up_threshold = 80

down_threshold = 20

freq_step = 5

ignore_nice_load = 0

sampling_down_factor = 1 

sampling_rate = 3000000

sampling_rate_max = 1500000000

sampling_min = 1500000

now Im testing these tweaks

Code:

echo 98 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/up_threshold



echo 95 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/down_threshold





echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative/ignore_nice_load

underclock profile uses ondemand governor and it loads ok. so no need to change that. Lets hope it works well.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Speed Patch + Battery Patch + Tweaks --> Everything Needed To Have A Perfect N900

this seems to be very exciting
it should give a huge improvements
testing them too

btw you can add

echo 1500000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conserva
tive/sampling_rate

and i will release a new package batterypatch-testing
including all the untested tweaks

karam

2011-12-08 22:50

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Speed Patch + Battery Patch + Tweaks --> Everything Needed To Have A Perfect N900

EVERYONE
i have released a new HUGE update

many many changes and new features
in short ... the continues time of usage must be at least doubled !!

PS: changed MAXFREQ to 900

tested the codes given by carbonjha no problems appeared
tested with HD record/watch and everything works fine

PS2: this might be the last update for 5 months except fixing bugs
have some studies to finish :)

yes .. the lastest update surely got huge improvements. but in my case the touch vibration is harder now and the response is little late.

karam

2011-12-09 12:44

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Speed Patch + Battery Patch + Tweaks --> Everything Needed To Have A Perfect N900

well try to increase the minfreq in overclock from 250 to 500
perhaps this solves your problem

although i have the vibration acts normally

//edit

how to :

install any text editor ex: leafpad

then

Code:

sudo gainroot

leafpad /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/overclock

and change MINFREQ=250 to MINFREQ=500

save and exit
PS: no need to reboot
