[KERNEL] Kernel (deprimed_test) - Break It If You Can

[The Race To Die]

Ya way back when prime released test #20 he integrated the bf scheduler into it and I'm pretty sure a lot of people were seeing higher than normal os usage.

I don't know if the link is working but prime did have the link for the version prior, sans bf scheduler. Also throughout the thread links have been posted for test version #19.

Actually pretty much throughout the custom ROM forum you can find the link to #19 unless they all link back to the one, I believe, that prime mentioned was down currently.
Which should be in one of his posts above, after the welcome back responses.

I think the scheduler in this kernel results in high android os usage...at least that's what someone told me before...just an fyi

On some ROMS, try http://bit.ly/deprimed_previous which should be sans bfs.

From testing 19 and 20 for a while now I feel like 19 is better if you use your phone a lot and 20 is better if you have your screen off more than on or for long periods of time. By better I mean battery life, nothing to do with performance.

Do I just flash the kernel using clockwork then run milestone once my phone boots up?

Edit* nvm I figured it out by following a guide on the cyanogenmod website. I have never seen my phone run this fast/smooth. Gj on the kernel prime. I have a full battery now. Ill update y'all with how fast my battery drains.

I am pretty sure that is all a result of having bfs or not. But I couldn't provide you with much more info than that, my kernel knowledge is more subprime than anything else.
I do think in the OP, prime gives a little breakdown of the bfs and also provides a link with an even fuller explanation.

Did you gain root by typing su first?

It appears that bfs does indeed create a higher than normal android os load on the latest nightlies, bit.ly/deprimed_previous does not suffer from this. I am investigating a resolution.

Yea I do

I flashed deprimed previous and performance seems a little snappier, although it could be that I cleared the dalvik cache.

I used deprimed previous while driving from Flagstaff, AZ to Albuquerque, NM and had a bunch of force closes using Google Navigation. I flashed back to Deprimed 20 while driving and never had that issue again. Peculiar, right?

I wonder if this particular task is one of the specific areas, of which the bf scheduler provides a benefit?
Perhaps the force closes were the result of either too much power being directed to the task or too little.
Prime is clearly the best person to ask, but I just had the idea pop in my head that this could be the perfect example of the benefits bfs provides.
Since for the most part, we all seem to lack a truly clear idea as to the inner workings and activities of the bfs.

I haven't fully gathered all the necessary information but it may be cfq vs deadline in my kernel causing the increased android os CPU usage, not bfs.

Is there anything I can do to help you gather info on the schedulers?
