Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

NICE!!! I'll see if I can dissect his BLAZN system.ext2 image to fix the wifi. For me, it feels like FRX04, not faster (slightly if any). Wifi is important because, as arrrghhh stated, it eats up less battery than 3G. So when I'm at home, it's nice to just use wifi. I'm using Froyo X Red now and it's fast.

arrrghhh, thanks for the new kernel; I didn't have any issues with the 2/26 version but I'll try the new kernel when you put it up. I guess it can only get better :mrgreen:

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

New kernel posted guys. Enjoy!

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

Thanks. Gonna try it. On 2/26 kernel, I'm getting more restarts to WinMo using Tiad8's Froyo X Red after it goes to sleep, but that may just be my setup or his distribution itself and not necessarily the 2/26 kernel; since there were no kernel logging in 2/26, I couldn't figure out what was wrong or post any log here.

2/26 and the previous kernel were just fine for me.. on 2/28 kernel I'm getting a lot of flickering and screen tearing. First boot I got booted back to Windows from Haret. Also, the battery seems worse, took off thed charger at 6:30am and its battery is 70% at 7:19am. I haven't used it all. Maybe my charger disconnected during the night *shrugs* dunno but I swear it was fully charged in WinMo. Ill still test it out tho.

Arrrghhh is on vacation posting these so I suppose we should forgive him for the lack of information on this particular kernel. WisTilt2 is playing with the framebuffer (I only say playing because I am too dumb to really know what he is doing) and it has made his phone (Tilt2-Rhod300) a lot faster and wake is perfect, arrrghhh and I discovered in testing that our phone (the 400, TP2) has some graphical glitching in various places. It is a known issue and WisTilt2 is looking into it, for the time being though he wanted to make sure the things he has done to the framebuffer are making an impact in sleep/wake, potentially SOD, and hopefully some speed benefits as well.

TL;DR: Ignore the gfx glitches for now, does it boot, sleep, and wake properly?

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

lol, thanks rpierce99 for bein watchdog in both my threads :p.

I have been trying to post these kernels, while still enjoy my time off. Sorry for the lack of response guys, but you're in good hands with rpierce99 ;).

I thought it was my set up, but I, too, am getting flickering almost everytime I press on a soft button; this is with the 2/27 kernel.

Also, I'm not sure if it was related to the 2/26 kernel but I had a lot of restarts to winmo on that one after a wake (from not touching the phone after a long time). I'm going back to the 2/24 kernel and try it out again.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

My phone died overnight even with a full charge just before bed, woke up to it dead (airaves off so maybe s real bad signal) either way, plugged it in to charge it in winmo, so the updated kernel, tossed it on there before bootings android and all was well, until I noticed a ton of screen tearing, flickering, etc. So I rebooted at that point and all hell has broke loose since then. Can't reboot, keeps deleting my startup.txt, then the modules get deleted, so I tried going back to 022611 test kernel, deleted data.img, everything I could think of but it keeps rebooting back to winmo. Now that I'm home I'm reformatting the card and will reload up FRX04 on it, first with stock kernel and then switch back over to 022711 test kernel. Could the phone dying in the middle of the night running android cause so many issues or cause the card to get all borked up? I noticed some FAT errors while trying to reboot, don't recall what they were but never noticed them before and the booting looked strange too. Just didn't know if the batt dying like that could cause problems with the card because it's happened before (dying during the night) and I wonder if that's the cause of many of my issues.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/26/11 New Kernel - VERY fast deep sleep!
 

I agree, 10 second keyboard backlight timeout is nice.

Yep. I haven't had any problems booting. Sleeping is quick.. seems more efficent too. While refreshing twitter I locked my screen, led kept blinking, after about 10 seconds I checked my twitter and it was still pulling data, locked the phone, led blinked for a few seconds then went to a solid green, checked twitter app and it had finished . in and waking seems to be fine..

Has the logs file changed.. they're not gzipped and are only 303 Bytes. I had a restart to WinMo..

Here's the log:

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

Just had a SOD (solid green LED). I'll post log when I'm back in Android; I need phone to use without interruption now so I'm back to WinMo.

Got a couple freezes, requires you to slide out keyboard to fix. Noticed on the last one thed led was solid orange. Phone wasn't in use.

Just made a quick call.. screen was super laggy.. didn't show I ended the call until about 2 mins afterwards.. guess that's related to graphic issues in this kernel? Anyway it seem to have broken my sleep button (end call), recent program launcher (hold power button) and airplane/sound/shutdown menu (hold end call). Hopefully it fixes after a restart.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

I had the same problem, I'll mention it to WisTilt2 when we talk next, I saved some logs from mine but if you happened to grab some from yours it would be great if you posted them. A full power off and reboot did fix it in my case.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

Yep, I just had this problem too. It was running great since last night but all of a sudden it came out of sleep. I tried putting it back into sleep but it was super laggy and when the screen finally turned off it refused to go into sleep mode.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

A reboot worked.. but my phone died at like 3pm. I only used it when I posted here, tested sleep/wake while twitter was updating, and made that quick call when I discovered the lagginess. Thats litterally it..

Can you check out your logs, my KMSG logs only say:

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

New kernel posted guys. Graphics glitches and lags hopefully fixed. Grab it and let me know how it goes!

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

Just had a sleep of death on the previous 2/28 test kernel. Solid green light, no response from buttons, no light on opening keyboard. Upgrading to the latest now.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

Are you noticing these SoD's happening around a certain condition? Like poor service area, some particular app running, etc?

I honestly haven't had a complete SoD in probably a month or more...

Update to the newest, hopefully WisTilt2 turned klog back on - haven't confirmed if he has yet or not. He was moving around where the logs were actually being stored...

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

Nothing I've noticed. Both of my recent sleep of deaths have been while it's green-LED-sleeping in my pocket in areas I would think would have good coverage. No particular app running seems related.

On the plus side, graphics glitches seem to be gone on the latest.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

Hrm... that's frustrating. WisTilt2 seems to think they're RIL related, which a lot of our problems seem to be stemming from that bastage hodgepodge...

Gfx glitches should be completely gone now! :D

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/27/11 New Kernel - Fast/Fixed Panel!
 

Haven't had a chance to try the new 2/28 yet but I had that with the 2/27 one. Solid green sleep. Nothing could wake it up, multiple power button presses, kb sliding, etc. For me the 2/24 has been the best thus far, no issue with that one; luckily, I saved a copy of that one so I can always go back if the newer ones aren't as reliable.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/28/11 New Kernel - GFX Glitches/lag fix
 

has anyone noticed the battery dying out quicker. I switched to 2/27, and noticed it. I jsut switched to 2/28 and we will see out that goes. But for some reason my phone ran out of battery quicker on 2/27. I mean i know our battery gauges arent that accurate, but still.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/28/11 New Kernel - GFX Glitches/lag fix
 

It was sleeping correctly...? That's definitely the #1 reason my battery life sucks, if the phone isn't sleeping correctly.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/28/11 New Kernel - GFX Glitches/lag fix
 

i mean it shows solid green after 15-30 seconds of blinking green

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/28/11 New Kernel - GFX Glitches/lag fix
 

is there anyway to possibly get this working with the camera kernal?

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/28/11 New Kernel - GFX Glitches/lag fix
 

About to start with a fresh build. Briefly used the 2/28 kernel last night, but data.img was corrupted (wouldn't even copy it to my desktop under Windows or Linux). Will report back after class..

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/28/11 New Kernel - GFX Glitches/lag fix
 

Nope, gotta wait for the camera stuff to be committed, which appears to be happening lately.

Edit: Changed my earlier rant... didn't have my coffee early and getting tired of seeing the same ol' questions...

*No (or vvveerryy slow) sleep when GPS is enabled, but I believe we have known that?

*Quick and clean wakes, haven't had to press the button twice.

*Answer/Windows/Back/End keys stay lit during sleep.

*Reinstalled all my apps while chargering and using wifi. Unplugged charger at 8:30am. Setup my phone and applications' settings. 10am getting low battery warnings.

Gonna head home to recharge to keep the testing going.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/28/11 New Kernel - GFX Glitches/lag fix
 

heh, I guess I'll try to answer these in-line...

All I know is that battery drain is not typical. I'm guessing the phone either wasn't sleeping, or you didn't start at 100%.


Also, I'm posting a new kernel. It's completely up to date with autobuild (1276) so cam/video record works... However, when I enabled all the userland libs I ran into a TON of crazy issues, as did some of the other testers. So be warned - when I disabled the libs, this kernel works great! However, if you do disable the userland libs the camera won't work at all... so that's the trade off. You all asked for it!! :p

Alright, kernel posted guys. I honestly don't want reports of issues with cam libs enabled, so don't even bother...

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/28/11 New Kernel - GFX Glitches/lag fix
 

Oops, posted the wrong one. If you downloaded the kernel, please redownload!

Ugh, even with the libs disabled, I still have issues with the phone sleeping. Lots of wakelocks! I'll let WisTilt2 know... You guys might want to hold off on this kernel.

Ok, so this is interesting. The libs are obviously suspect, and when I have the libs disabled and try to use cam, the phone refuses to sleep. So if you use this kernel with the libs disabled and don't touch the cam, you'll be fine... but that was kinda the point of this kernel. I guess the first one can't go perfectly, eh? :p

Jesus christ people. Updated to to the 2/28 kernel last night, no graphical glitches. Seems slightly smoother when scrolling through things. No sods yet, battery life seems to be the same.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 3/1/11 New Kernel - Up-to-date w/Autobuild!
 

arrrghhh, awesome news on the camera/video as part of the mainline kernel now. :thumbleft:
Very impress with your patience these days. ;)

Anyways, I have one minor question. The kernel may have support for camera but doesn't the system.ext2 (from FRX04) need to contain the latest camera-related libraries also? I'm guessing one of the dev guys (viruscrazy) needs to commit those libraries and StineBD needs to rebuild the system.ext2 image.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/28/11 New Kernel - GFX Glitches/lag fix
 

You should have left your rant in tact. ;) People need to learn to read!

Re: [TESTING] Updated 3/1/11 New Kernel - Up-to-date w/Autobuild!
 

Over here using this new wistilt2 kernel, with the latest FROYO X RED (complete bundle + new system.ext2), and the latest rootfs.img from XDANDROID autobuild...

Camera works perfect, video recording crashes though...

Re: [TESTING] Updated 3/1/11 New Kernel - Up-to-date w/Autobuild!
 

I don't think Tiad8's Froyo X Red supports video yet. If you read his latest post, he has it working but haven't uploaded any update yet.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 3/1/11 New Kernel - Up-to-date w/Autobuild!
 

Thanks ndno, that's good to know... I'll keep an eye on his threads.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 2/28/11 New Kernel - GFX Glitches/lag fix
 

I thought better of it and didn't want to be a complete a hole, but people do need to learn how to read... anyone who subscribes to the thread would have gotten the original message, and I can always repost it if people continue to ask stupid things in Arrrghhh's thread about a "TESTING KERNEL" lmao.

As far as the kernel, I reset up FRX04, was running great, tossed in the 022811 kernel (with graphic fixes), that was running great too, so I tempted fate and hooked up my airave, and just got a SOD. Gonna let it reboot and see how it works. No significant issues with wake ups, some a little slow but much better than previously. Haven't tried the newest kernel w/ camera/video, wasn't sure how it was gonna work without the libs being mounted or an updated system.ext2 and haven't had a chance to read into it yet.

And one final comment about Arrrghhh's patience... I jumped on IRC today lurking and saw that Arrrghhh truly does have the patience of a saint, lmao. Even though they were stupid questions and I believe Arrrghhh was getting frustrated, he bailed out a noob who didn't bother reading. My hat is off to him (and you too ndno!!!).

Yes it work. download ( Froyo x red improved 3d performance) video and camcorder works like it charm. I could record up 30 minute plus. You just need kernel 1203 from virus. You don't need his libs. Just the kernels.

Thanks

FROYO X/SPRINT TOUCH PRO 2/RHOD

Tiad8, thanks for the details; unfortunately, I don't think most users know to go to xda to download viruscrazy's stuff and configure and set it up, let alone read your instructions. Most of them need to be spoonfed. Your first post on most of your builds doesn't mention viruscrazy's stuff or a link to his stuff so users just attempt to use your included kernel in files/camera directory, which is the "old" 1214 build you have always used. With this thread, there are no instructions to "configure" for camera/video and rightfully there shouldn't be because this is about testing wistilt2's kernel, not anything else. So unless people can "connect" all the dots with all the different development threads going on, they are not going to figure out how to put bits and pieces together to get video working unless you have a all-in-one bundle for them. You can update your post to include viruscrazy's link if ppl want to try video.

Sorry arrrghhh for being off topic; today's kernel is working great. I will try it out with viruscrazy's latest camera libraries tonight.
