I'd rather slam my tackle in a filing cabinet than suffer two hours of enforced jollity and audience participation in the company of several hundred e-numbered children. :eek:

on-topic: hurray up and release 2.5 already! I need something to prevent me Xmas shopping.
 
Was just about to ask about the cleaning script - does this need to be done when installing the kernel through the kitchen?
 
Great news!

Just out of interest.... From my Desire days I seem to recall teh advice that a ROM or Kernel needs to bed in for a few days before it becomes stable and you see meaningful battery performance, etc. Is this the case with the S2, and if so surely it's better to flash a kernel and wait a few days before making a judgement on battery performance and then flashing the next version?

Never experienced or heard of that before with kernels.

As far as I am aware they should work straight out of the box.

You may be confusing it with ROM's which do need a "bedding" in period.

You're both correct imo. :)

A kernel will do its thing 'straight out of the box', but objective comparisons as to performance can only be made after a day or two of use.

Having said that the first thing I did was run AnTuTu to compare v2.5 + lulzactive vs v2.4.2 now that v(r) is the default governor. :)
 
Just for the hell of it! :D

You know it has to be done, if only for a quick-and-dirty comparison. ;)

That 1200MHz result is very similar to mine using ondemandx (6073) - I bench using my working config to give me 'real-life' comparisons whenever I breakoptimise something. :)

No problems with v2.5 so far. I've switched to ondemandx as I know Gokhanmoral prefers stamina over performance, so I'm intrigued to discover why it's his new favourite.

Oh. so true! :D

I wondered why the switch too. Are you using any Profiles or u/v on this one?

The reason I ask is that I'm using 2nd Core's Dynamic hotplug and never bothered with a Sleep profile with smartassv2 as it was set to the minimum whilst screen was off and Deep Sleep was very, very, good.
 
I'm undecided which governor is best for me at the moment. Lulzactive and Smartass are both very smooth. Ondemandx is giving me lag with my browser and lionheart keeps turning my phone off.
 
I've been using SmartassV2 with previous Siyah kernels but I'm interested to see if I get better battery life with this (Ondemandx). I'll see how Lulzactive goes too in a few days time (presuming there isn't a 2.6!).
 
I'm trying the ondemandx governor at the moment.
This switched my phone off once over the last 5 hours. Thought it might be a problem with it coming out of deep sleep but it's not happened since so I shall such with it to see how I compares with battery drain overnight tonight.

Usage seems excellent so far. Can't complain at all about smoothness on both go launcher and tw4.5

Apart from my usual uv settings (once I'd confirmed they still worked) everything is as Gok intended. :) I'm leaving it for a while before doing any tweaking, just to get a feel for this one.

I stopped using a screen-off profile when the governors started getting clever and taking care of it themselves.

Amazing! How the heck do you get over 6000 on stock cpu?

Edit: More on-topic, I got impatient and used Mobile Odin to flash 2.5 GT. Works fine! I dare say it's faster than ever! It upped my AnTuTu from 4950ish to 5551! But that might be because I'd just restarted too :P
