Dayum...3.31 is smoking! This is by far the most stable one for me. I've had ZERO random rebootz. And battery performance is great. F'n awesome!

Re: [TESTING] Updated 3/31/11 New Kernel - Portrait mode on boot!
 

I think this is expected behavior - kinda drove me nuts how often the screen turned on in WinMo (seemed to turn on for almost any reason in WinMo, even changing cell towers seemed to wake the screen in WinMo) and in Android it seems to only wake for calls - again, I think this is a feature so you don't end up doing things on the screen when you receive a sms or calendar alert - I personally like it ;).

Interesting to note, I believe the screen does wake on normal alarm alerts...

Yea, MDPI I think is the reason it feels snappier. I've noticed Launcher2 is kinda a drag too, I've noticed the aftermarket launchers are smoother - been liking ADW EX (this version is paid) recently.

Yea, the end key is different and I guess it's going to have to wait until userland has a hook for it. Userland should handle it anyways, and getting it to work in kernel only is going to involve some hackish methods that aren't going to fly :p.

So, for now we have button lights - partially. Not sure how long before userland tweaks are done.

Glad it's working well for you... Because I have yet another, even better kernel for wakes. WisTilt2 said he found an irq set wrong that was related to the tssc - touchscreen basically - that's why touching the screen would cause it to wake... New kernel up, w00t!

Awesome, downloading now.

Yeah as arrghh said, not including modules cause few adverse effects besides that wifi won't work, and when bluetooth is implemented to useland the modules will be needed for that too but atm . . It isn't a major loass if your a 3g user.

Also my main reason for using cherry pie is because I find I can underclock it to 460 and still have little or no lag! :D this saves battery which has been a major problem for me. And so far its the only build which can be underclocked and still be smooth. (I oc in startup.txt then use setfpu to underclock, I can then oc clock it temporarily if I need to do something lik backups/restoring/first boot setup, which id want to speed up.

BOT: So far I havnt had any negative things to report from this kernal which arnt RIL related :D

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

4.2 kernel so far is just like the last one...excellent. No random reboots...in fact, my only issue with last kernel was AB Rio would crash every so often. Not at all with this one. Very sweet.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

This last kernel fix the no signal when waking up in cdma/gsm phones?

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

No, I have a RIL tho for you to test - hop on IRC if you wish, or shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

I've been running this kernel since last night. Here's some feedback if you want it:

• Had one reset to WM this morning. I think it was when a text came in, probably RIL related.
• Keyboard backlighting seems to be perfect. Same for front 4 keys.
• Keyboard stuck key problem still occurs - happened on the very first test sentence I typed. :(
• This kernel is recognizing stylus events (removing / inserting stylus) which is good, but unfortunately the behavior is bad. When the stylus is removed it switches the device to landscape, and when inserted switches to portrait. Perhaps it is triggering the same routine as opening the keyboard? If removing the stylus merely turned the device on (which it already does, but it also switches to landscape) then it'd be perfect.
• Auto backlight behavior seems to be better. The screen would not brighten nearly enough on auto with FRX05, but it does with this new kernel. So that seems to be an improvement.
• Sleeping has been working good.
• Anecdotally, battery life seems to be a little less, but that is impossible to judge without actual tests.

Seeing the flashing LED really makes me wish normal LED notifications were working. Perhaps a hybrid sleep indicator / message indicator could be implemented? Like if the device is in deep sleep, then no LED is on at all. If it is trying to enter deep sleep then it flashes red. Messages would flash green.

Now for a rant. Why in the world did HTC stick a crappy bicolor LED in this phone instead of a tricolor RGB LED????? That must have saved them all of 5 cents to skimp on that. If we had an RGB LED then there would be many options available for kernel / sleep debugging because so many other colors would be available.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

Thanks for bringing that up. I never use the stylus but mine works just as you say.

Just had a reset back to Android and then back to Windows..was browsing these forums on Tapatalk Pro and followed a link to PPCGeeks that opened up an Opera Mini browser. Pressed the hard back key and it froze, screen went black and a "_" flashed in the very upper left of it and then the flying 'Droids began their painting dance. Otherwise quite stable.

And yes, why wouldn't they add a RGB LED? I mean come on..seeing my friend's BlackBerries do a rainbow LED when receiving a text makes me jealous at the notification possibilities. Ah well.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

I put this one through the ringer for the past day and I have to say this is amazing. I have not had 1 single failed wake since I started using it! I have the same behavior with stylus events but thats no biggie

thanks wistilt2 you are the man!

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

I have had problems with my phone coming back from sleep with all the recent kernels. With the 4/2 kernel, the phone just seems to lag too much on the unlock screen for me to unlock it.

The last one I had that was okay was the 3/11 kernel. This is running with both FRX05 and 6. :(

edit: after reverting back to 3/11 I did notice that the light was green as the phone slept, and with the newer kernels the light was orange.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

Oh thank you, but my machine it does not work for an incoming call. Although it silenced the other side is ringing. HTC TP2 T7373 his machine. RHOD100 forward to the help of everyone. Thanks

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

I was making an out going call and when the ringing began I got the static/cracking sound issue. Then the phone began to reboot during the call, which disconnected the call. Nothing new, just reporting the error.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

ive had a couple of failed wakes. im still on frx05, though. IDK if that makes a difference. It was working fantastically till this morning where I've had maybe 2 or three failed wakes.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

I've heard a static / white noise sound out of my phone with the stock FRX05 and with this new kernel. The sound comes out of the speakerphone speaker on the back. If I turn the phone around and listen to the back side I can hear it.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

One minor issue with the backlight for the four front buttons. If the keyboard is open then pressing those four buttons causes their backlight to quickly strobe on the keydown event, then strobe again on the keyup event. It should behave the same when the keyboard is open or closed, but it seems the backlight is suppressed when the keyboard is open.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

I mention this in the first post :rolleyes:

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

Had the same quirk where the phone will ring if it is asleep for an incoming call, but will not do anything if it is awake a few times. Just tested it again, once while in another application and once while just at the home screen and both rang fine, though, so intermittent would be the way I'd describe the bug. RHOD400. The manner in which I copied the kernel was to replace the tar and zImage files on the microSD with those downloaded from here. Just mentioning that as I've not replaced the kernel in the past and I wanted to make sure I did it right.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/2/11 New Kernel - *Hopefully* failed wakes fixed!
 

New kernel guys, just a minor brush-up of the last.

Wow, a lot of kernel updates last few days. I just got my viewsonic g-tablet last Friday so I've been busy flashing it with the vegan rom over at xda and playing with it using my tp2 under winmo as a wifi hotspot. The speed is crazy fast on the g-tablet...I'm loving it. Darn I hate the softkb some much. I need to get back to my tp2 playing with android now or else I'll forget about it with my new tablet. Thanks for the updates.

Weird, 4/2 plays nice with my unsupported builds. No issues whatsoever today despite heavy use! Thanks again arrrghhh.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

this is my 3rd day running on the 04/02 kernel (wanted to keep the whole "booting into portrait" thing) and i have no problem whatsoever.

any issues i have had with reboots have been due to HEAVY use and OCing (i believe).

seriously love it, keep up the good work.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

New kernel seems to be much more stable on my Rhod400. No issues with wake-ups so far, fewer reboots.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Update: Running 4.2.11 kernel (4.4.11 changes aren't significant). Very stable, good battery life/charging, everything is good so far. ZERO crashes/reboots. I am in Airvana Range most of the time, and nothing screwy. Good Evdo performance.

DAYUM...very sweet kernel. 4.2.11 is excellent.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Running 040211 kernel, no issues at all other than a couple of slow wakes, although the slow is nothing in comparison to prior kernels. Decent batt life, no reboots to either winmo or android. Even fired up the older airave and no issues with that either.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Any way I can find the 4.2.11 kernel to download? I don't see it in the paperclip for the thread and the latest ZIP pack has the 4.4.11 kernel.

I'm back to using FRX06 and this kernel is running great. I'm no longer using a dedicated ext2 partition on the SD card; I see no benefits from my testing using it; it actually feels a little sluggish using a ext2 partition :scratch:. So I'm back using a mount loop for the data.img (better quadrant scores if it means anything) . Like others, I'm still getting the kb lock while typing.

Arrrghhh, I just switched to jonpry's files for the better battery meter patch. He said the kernel is based off wiltist2 latest; however I see a lot more kernel messages on bootup on it than the one you posted here. .. probably not much different if any but just wondering.

Here...

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

What do you want old kernels for? We're looking forwards, not backwards!

The whole point of testing is to... test. Report back. If you have issues, go back to autobuild kernels. K?

I'd also appreciate it if others did not repost old kernels. Thanks!

Yea the only real benefit of running dedicated ext2 partition seems to be the 'partial' USB mass storage, and I think hyc said the errors are more localized? The fsck errors we get from the data.img that is.

Oh and jonpry means that he has the same battery saving/panel collapse patches WisTilt2 has - it's not necessairly built off of WisTilt2's kernel, it's actually based from the autobuild - again, with some patches ;).

Ok. The one posted here seems better in terms of fast wakeup; I get more delayed wakeups with the one he's using.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

I have the same thoughts at ndno. Which kernel to test? Wistilts or jonprys? I like to test for a few days before reporting back, but with two testing kerenels up, I don't know which one to stick with. This is actually a good problem. Two great devs offering up some great new fixes! I just wish I could test both better.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

Yea, WisTilt2 wanted to keep the scbs code separate for the time being - I hear the batt algos that jonpry's stuff creates is very good... assuming it all gets merged to autobuild in the end, testing kernels are for just that - testing.

I'd run jonpry's for a few days maybe a week and see how good of an algo you can create. I'm pretty sure you can only apply the algo to his kernel, unfortunately.

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

LOL...ok! But what about beer? :toothy10:

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

I will never turn down free beer :p.

Wow, I like jonpry's kernel for the accurate battery meter but the panel wakeup time on that kernel is relatively slow (2-3 seconds for me). I wish he can merge his battery meter patches with this current kernel. Anyways I have been having great stability with jonpry's or this kernel; no reboot or Sod whatever! Most solid I've experienced!

Hey all,

Currently running the 4/4 kernel and all is going well. Seems very stable and wakes are quite fast and have only had one or two failed wakes so far today.

However, I am experiencing an "insufficient storage memory" when attempting to install apps from the market.

Is there a way to increase the amount of space that Android has access to?

Re: [TESTING] Updated 4/4/11 New Kernel - Minor Fixes...
 

I don't see what this has to do with this kernel....

But this thread has a snazzy Windows utility to expand the data.img..

2.35 Radio has been causing lock-ups, went back to 2.32 and everything is smooth again.
