CPU governor changes back to ondemand - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI guys,
i am on twooey 2 with glitch kernel and i am trying to change the governor to conservative.... but it change back to ondemand after few mins... after the screen locks and unlocks, its back to ondemand..
i tried to set it as boot but no luck.. i tried both pimpmy cpu and voltagecontrol.. but no luck
pls help..
thanks

You have to delete a script in /etc/init.d
I dont remember the exact name but its something like "screenstate".

I would advise you to use lippol94's cleaning script, which will reset any kernel settings. Find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15609632
Choose the CM7/MIUI one, apply the zip thru CWM, and try to change the governor again and go from there.
Cheers.

go to glitch thread and read, all you need to know should be there

Those random reboots can be caused by a number of things, but, in this instance you should put "virus" at the bottom of the list. Since your using customs ROMS, first to check is overclock, you might be pushing your Phone's CPU/GPU too hard.
I would assume you have a rooted phone and using a custom ROM. Reboot to Xrecovery and wipe user data. Next reformat your SDcard. reboot and you'll have a "clean" phone.
ok..i'll try.thanks

If you have root explorer. go to system\lib\modules. check and see if you do have the overclock module. also check if you have the undervolt module. Make sure R/W is enable and Move the OC and UV Module to the SDCARD as backup. Reboot and test you phone if its still randomly rebooting.
alternatively, you can check setting >> cyanogenmod settings >>performance >> cpu settings. if there is and you find CPU can be adjusted then reduce the clock to around 691Mhz.
Another option is to install CPUMaster or SETCPU to adjust clock speed.

i surely have OC no UV module.so must i install UV and then move them to SD..? or i just install UV module and see what happen..?

InteractiveX is one of CPU governor, applied inside kernel... it's not an application, it's kernel features...

Sorry, if I have flashed the NOVA v8 and all the Huexxx stuffs(total number in 5).
would it use the InteractiveX governor automatically? If not, how can it change it?
thanks
You can change via Nova script, access it via terminal.
type su, then nova.
Or you can use setCPU, CPU Master, No-frills CPU Control, or anything related with setting CPU.

I found that one of the 5 stuff cannot be flashed and told me "installation abort". the stuff is called "quasar-v8-source.zip". i tried so many time and i nearly give up
I am just wondering the recovery have no enough ROOT permission...any idea?
quasar-v8-source.zip is not compiled kernel for android, that's the source. You can't install it. If you got files like that, perhaps named "source", don't ever trying to flash it to your phone... And that's not the main problem of CWM, it's because you had a mistake by flashing source file..

[Q] Best Kernel to Fix Lag on Gingerbread

Apologies if this has already been covered, i have searched beforehand i promise.
I have a a Galaxy running on Stock Gingerbread Firmware, and while it is slightly better than Froyo for lag issue, is nowhere near as fast as it was with OCLF oN Froyo. Unfortunately it only worked for 2 weeks before going even slower than before he fix so i removed it (after some messing about).
From what I have read, changing or patching the Kernel seems to be the best way to fix the lag issue, but there are so many different kernels from various developers, I really don't know where to start.
Can someone recommend a Kernel that will help fix the lag issue and get the phone working to it's full potential (it was lightning fast after I first installed the OCLF)?
I have installed firmware with Odin, rooted and installed OCLF previously, but that is about as far as I have messed about with my phone, so no expert. So if you can point in the direction of a guide to install too, that would be amazing (though i could probably find myself, once i know what Kernel i'm using)
This is the full details of model/firmware etc:
Model: I9000
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000XXJVO
Kernal: [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXJVO
Thanks in advance
**ok, just realised i posted thread in wrong forum, should have gone in Q & A, apologies. Unfortunately, can't delete or move**
Try semaphore 1.8.2bm, use ext4 app v1.3 to convert to ext4. Use acid tweak to remove journals from system and cache file systems. Set lmk to 56 mb, use screen sensitivity fix, use smartassv 2 and sio and you'll have a fast phone that is solid with great battery life, remove profiles from setcpu if used. I also use darkys zipalign script and 3g script, works really well
Edit
I'm using stock odexed jvt with custom theme, all Samsung bloatware removed.

Thanks have found the kernel will give it a try.
Since i posted, I have installed a SpeedMod Kernel CWM which i used to root and change to Ext4. I assume once i change back to rfs it is safe to try this kernel?

Thank you for your advixe, I have made of the suggested changes and it is running noticeably smoother and quadrant test up from 965 (without mod) to over 1600.
The only thing i haven't done is the Acid Tweak, I'm not sure exactly how to install this. I found the download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266715
Can you advise how i install this please?
Also what would you recommend to remove bloat apps?

I think you need to convert to RFS, then flash semaphore 1.8.2bm using SGS flasher (wipe cache & dalvik cache afterwards). One you are on Semaphore or Galaxian, you don't need to convert to RFS, simply flash!
Then use ext4 app V1.3 to convert to ext4.
I've uploaded acid tweaks zip file, apply this zip file from CWM.
Reboot, edit the /etc/system/init.d/*acid* script, comment out the line for the
/data file system. I have uploaded my acidtweak file.
Also uploaded extra scripts from here, there and everywhere. Please remove the ".txt" file extension and make the files executable. Probably best to try each file one at a time so you know the effect.
If you are running Semaphore 1.8.2bm, use smartassv2 and sio, and the sensitivity tweak, SD card tweak, I don't think you need any other tweaks, but you can try!
Note that the tuned gsp.conf file is for the UK, I normally get at least 8 satellites very quickly with an accuracy of 10m (sometimes 5m)
Note that the 56Mb script sets the LMK value to 56Mb and should run later on so overwrites the semaphore value (usually set to 48Mb or 64Mb)
Let me know if you need any help
Thanks for that. Though I think you may have overestimated my knowledge lol
So far, I have installed the Semaphore Kernal, Used Ext4 to change the filesystem to Ext4, Applied some of the mentioned tweaks in Semaphore such as Smartass2 etc.
I haven't cleared cache and dalvik, would it be safe to do this now? What does this do?
Now the part where I struggle:
I have no idea how to edit acidtweak file (though I did try applying the zip file and my phone would no longer boot, getting errors about not being able to mount data etc)
The uploaded scripts: I can remove the txt extension, but how do I make them executable? Do I then copy them to my phone and run them?
Once again, cheers

press three power button, enter recovery mode, choose apply zip file, choose acid tweak zip file. Reboot. You can now copy the acid tweak script into /system/etc/init.d and remove the . txt files in this directory will run when the phone boots. I use root explorer to make files executable, I think the free es explorer app may do the same.
You can copy the other files into this directory and enable then by making then executable. Long press on file, options, click on executable boxes (3 off)
If you are a noob, always best to backup /efs folder, you can do this with root explorer, long press on folder, copy, go to sd card, paste

I have tried applying the Acidtweak zip file, but then my phone fails to restart, will not pass the Initial Boot screen (not the animated one)
I can access swm but id displays the following errors:
E: Unknown volume for path [/data] and [/cache], can't mount /cache/recovery/command etc
Have had to flash the softwre again to get it working.
Had you converted to ext4 before flashing acid tweak from cwm?

cpu clocking

hi, im an overclocking/underclocking maniac I go with root explorer and change my cpu profile ( interactive ) settings, to respond faster but to stay less time to max value. also i change the settings for the cpu to sleep sooner when the usage is low to conserve battery this way.
But after reboot , my settings are rolled back at their "original" values. I tried to set the permissions only user can write , but it happened again. Does someone know why and how can i make my changes permanent ? thank you in advanced.
forgot to mention. im not using setcpu or anything. i change the system values in the vanir rom i use.

try using one of the many apps, vanir might not be saving the settings and applying at boot. Or you could write a simple init.d script to echo your frequencies much earlier in the boot process.

i cant. using other apps its even harder for me to find the file to edit the profile i want to make it the way i want. i just tried
found it. only using setcpu i can edit governors the way i want them. but still im curious about finding where is the script in rom and reverts back my changes.
