[5-10] nueDynamicClock 1.3 - more bug fixes

[bast525]

I've been running this for a few hours on a custom cooked ROM from SSK 1.5, running build 20954. So far no problems.

Install went perfectly, and I did set my settings the same as what was shown on the screenshot on the blog page.

I do use both Quickmenu and Opera Mini 4.2 and neither of them have had any adverse side effects.

I opened up WMP and played a few songs and there was never a stutter or lock up or anything like that.

I open the app settings and the current processor speed does drop down to 256 mhz after 5 seconds, and then when my screen dims it drops to 81.92 mhz. Tried this with music playing and the music went on uninterrupted. I don't have a good way to verify that it is doing what it says it does (no offense just saying I need to look into getting an app that measures battery usage or clockspeed outside of this app itself).

So far so good... hoping I see a nice boost to standby battery life with this... this is the first WinMo phone I've had that will drop 10-20% battery life just sitting in standby overnight if I forget to plug it in to charge it

EDIT: well the app definitely has control of the clock speed, when changed manually/manually overridden anyways! I set the manual override to 128 mhz, and immediately noticed the phones performance nosedive. Opened up TCPMP and went into settings, and it showed clock speed of 99 mhz (?). With the clockspeed left on automatic, and on the same settings screen in TCPMP, the clockspeed never changes (it always shows 530 mhz by default), but I don't know if this is just TCPMP just not updating this screen in real time.

i installed this on a fresh flash of mighty 4.16 and ran it for a few hours with no problems. installed all my other apps and no conflicts yet. the only thing i noticed was that WMP does stutter when the screen is off.

Oh yea, my settings are set to 19.2 for backlight off and suspend (voltage set to auto). everything else i left untouched.

one more thing, on opera mini, enter ** and it will toggle the bottom soft buttons on and off. i used to hide them with my titan since it had the hard buttons there, but with my pro i have them visible.

I cannot install on copper... do you have an oem n2c?

No2, BTW, what ROM are using? Looks like some type of WM6.5 - new tabs style...

Got it! Wow this looks great! Thanks so much no2! lets see if it holds up for battery tomorrow. donation on the way!

hmm, you didn't set the timeout to zero did you? also, what speed did you set boot at?

EDIT: okay, it occasionally stutters at 19.20 MHz. =(

the settings i used were exactly the same as your screenshot. but i unticked everything later because it was stuttering. i thought that would disable the prog, but i guess not. therefore my soft reset wouldn't boot up the device pass the windows logo. this is probably the cause.

but i will test it once more with more conservative values to see if it stops the stuttering

I did finally get some stutter in wmp and then the phone locked up completely necessitating a soft reset.

Went in and adjusted my values so that each 'step' is about 1/2 the speed of the previous. So it goes 528, 256, 128, 64 (not exactly those numbers).

So far I've had no more issues. Going to be a while before I can tell if it improved battery life though.

i'm setting at 528, 384, 245, 122...
5000ms.

hopefully i don't see any stuttering, but i don't know if this will conserve any battery

I took a look at the WMP issues, looks like the problem is due to the lower priority I get from the power notification queue then using the notifcations from device.exe.

So I could improve performance probably by switching to device.exe, but that would cause it to be uninstallable. So I'll have to take a further look to see if theres a better way to do this.

even at these settings, the phone would lock up while streaming on suspended mode. weird.
