No let's test the stability...

Off topic... arrrghhh, what are you using for browsing. The builtin one is painfully sluggish. I'm using Opera Mini but it has its problems (mainly because it caches stuff on an offsite server and full javascript support isn't there). Skyfire has a lot of features (like flash support) but is sluggish. For the meantime, I'm using Opera Mini because it loads fast.

That's what I told arrrghhh in IRC when I first saw this kernel

rpierce99: hahahaha he has to be cheating

EDIT: After thinking about it a bit more, I turned gps on, fired up Maps, and then powered down. The light went insta-green. I then woke the phone back up and the GPS icon was still on. We've never had full sleep with GPS enabled, so either this kernel is leaps and bounds ahead of previous kernels, or the green light is not accurate.

Wow. Excellent, and the slider seems to work instantly as well. Previously I had to wait maybe 1 sec. to unlock. Great work!

ndno - have you tried dolphin mini. The hd version is sluggish but the mini version is ok imo.

On topic - I don't think he's cheating... but I think he did change the way the sleep/green LED is reported to us now. He's reporting the ARM11 collapse. I think previously it was waiting for everything to collapse. So in a sense he's cheating since the LED now reports sleep differently, but from what I have gleaned it is accurately reporting ARM11 collapse... I'm by no means an expert on this topic however.

Edit - One sure-fire way to see if he is telling the truth, extended battery tests! So let's see how long the battery lasts, it'll be pretty dramatic drain if he is cheating...

Off topic - I haven't really played much with browsers TBH, but I've heard good things about fennec... Just haven't played with it yet, so I'm not really a good person to ask here .

I was only kidding So far so good. Let's commit this sucker

Agreed. I noted that I'm still getting failed wakes after extended use of the kernel, but they're no more frequent than they were before with the last kernel (which was pretty infrequent IMHO). WisTilt2 doesn't think it's worth chasing, and if you want a full explanation see the update in the first post .

On a side note, I got the admin/moderators of PPCGeeks to allow attachment of *.gz files :
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=2058831

So go ahead and post *.gz of the SYSTEM_LAST_KMSG logs from now on. *.tar and *.7z are also supported now.

Agreed. FWIW, had last kernel running for 27 hours after a full charge (via WinMo/Neo1.31). It's now at 91% battery life. Very impressive! Notably, it was sleeping, GPS was off, and I've got full bars via Airave. Still, very nice.
Thanks for .gz work, bro.

It gets better?? LOL...DL'ing now...

Works great on my Sprint RHOD400! Don't know how this impacts battery life yet. Listening to Pandora right now. Now we just gotta get support for the 3.5mm audio output

Heh, there's a ton of other things to be done. 3.5mm is on the list, just sucks that not many devs have RHODs with 3.5mm jacks, so it's really not a priority... [/end OT]

Update:

1. Just had an SOD: GPS was on, LED was green. 20 mins later, LED was orange & had to soft reset.
2. Rebooted. LED is green, hard key LEDs won't turn off.

[arrrghhh]

First, the GPS sleep bug is still present. Sorry for jumping the gun on that guys, if you want all the details it's in the first post .

I'll take a look at your logs, thanks. Beware of what I mention above ^^

for #2, if you have the 4-button aka 'hard button' LEDs on when you boot Android, they are stuck on while in Android.

I did a test on these with WisTilt2, and while he does have code to fix them they break other odd things like the sleep LED's color gets flipped, etc. So not a priority to fix at the moment, they will come in time... trust me .
