[TESTING] Updated 5/14/11 New Kernel - Temp Test - SOD Fix!

[cody_cummins]

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

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..

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...

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

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!!!).

*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.

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

This is known, phone will not sleep whatsoever when GPS is enabled

Have you never run Android before? If these lights are on in WinMo when you boot Android, they will be stuck on...

Uhm... I guess if the phone was never sleeping, that's possible. Not sure what battery level you were at, you haven't given any numbers - you could've started at 30% at 8:30 for all I know....

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!!

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

[arrrghhh]

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?

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.

arrrghhh, awesome news on the camera/video as part of the mainline kernel now.
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.
