so in short, if i select 'hsdpa only', it will improve my battery life?
cos i always keep turning on and off my data mode, tired of doing it smile.gif

Why so mafan and need to deal with all such tuning ?? Just get another spare battery or a portable external charger. Even the original 1650 mah battery is now cheaper at RM 80+ only or get Momax 1650 about RM 50+ or even cheaper Andid RM 30+

downloaded checkrom HD 1.0

what should i do now? any1 can tell me how to flash?

do i need to use odin 1.83?

Install CWM first
Than flash it from recovery :

Get into the CWM recovery
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Install the wipe version of this ROM

You need odin to install CWM ( use Chainfire kernel version similar to your present rom)

Install CWM first = open .PIT File  ?

Did you read post #5 as I have advised you to do first ? It is obvious you still do not understand what is CWM
You flash Chainfire kernel CF Root 4 to have phone rooted and with CWM installed. My post #5 explain what is CWM vs ordinary stock recovery
You flash the tar file of Chainfire as PDA in Odin ; do not select anything else
Please spend few minutes reading post #5 and the Chainfire flash tutorial first before attempting any flashing

Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache only before flash new rom rite? How if only flash kernel? I saw Benny mentioned in earlier post : Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache, reset batteries, then again Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache, reset batteries, after that only flash rom. Need to do it twice?

I was just quoting it from the instructions from the rom developer. It doesn't really matter - once should be enough. And no harm doing it a second time

YES, you can . You can flash any kernel onto your phone as long it is compatible with your phone model i9100

I used mainly Vital Player ( worth paying for it ) as it can play most common video files

Keep searching for explanation for governors such as ondemandx vs lulzactive vs smartassv2

currently keep exchanging usage and found smartassv2 the best so far followed by ondemandx in terms of my own usage satisfaction (balance of performance and battery life)..

what u guys think?
*
This is a quick guide explaining the various governors:


CPUFreq governors in the Android Kernel
=======================================

+ performance
The CPUfreq governor "performance" sets the CPU statically to the highest frequency within the borders of scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq.

+ powersave
The CPUfreq governor "powersave" sets the CPU statically to the lowest frequency within the borders of scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq.

+ userspace
The CPUfreq governor "userspace" allows the user, or any userspace program running with UID "root", to set the CPU to a specific frequency by making a sysfs file "scaling_setspeed" available in the CPU-device directory.

+ ondemand
The CPUfreq governor "ondemand" sets the CPU depending on the current usage. To do this the CPU must have the capability to switch the frequency very quickly. There are a number of sysfs file accessible parameters: sampling_rate, show_sampling_rate_min, up_threshold, ignore_nice_load, sampling_down_factor.

+ conservative
The CPUfreq governor "conservative", much like the "ondemand" governor, sets the CPU depending on the current usage. It differs in behaviour in that it gracefully increases and decreases the CPU speed rather than jumping to max speed the moment there is any load on the CPU. This behaviour more suitable in a battery powered environment. The governor is tweaked in the same manner as the "ondemand" governor through sysfs with the addition of: freq_step & down_threshold

+ interactive
The CPUfreq governor "interactive" is designed for latency-sensitive, interactive workloads. This governor sets the CPU speed depending on usage, similar to "ondemand" and "conservative" governors. However, the governor is more aggressive about scaling the CPU speed up in response to CPU-intensive activity. The tuneable value for this governor are: min_sample_time & go_maxspeed_load

+ smartass (By erasmux@XDA)
The smartass governor is a complete rewrite of the interactive governor. CPU spends much more time at the lower frequencies for improved battery life. It gives the phone an automatic Screen Off profile, keeping speeds at a minimum when the phone is idle.

+ savagedzen (By jsseidel@XDA)
SavagedZen is a governor based on the Smartass governor. With tweaks to paramaters which control how much and how fast cpu ramps up/down. Main difference versus Smartass is that cpu ramps down not in fixed steps, but based on cpu load heuristics, i.e. when cpu load falls below threshold (min_cpu_load), cpu immediately ramps down to a frequency derived from the measured load.

+ interactiveX (By imoseyon@XDA)
Modified version of interactive with suspend code which locks at lowest clock speed when screen is off. Has a sleep+awake profile, meaning you don't need to set up manual profiles, it will lock at your minimum frequency during screen off
