Kinda annoying, but for whatever reason I have much better luck when doing that.

Also, I reused my data.img from FRX03. There weren't huge changes, and I was already using the graphics improvements.

Oh - I just thought of something as well. In your froyo.user.conf, make sure you're not mounting any of those graphics files. No need for that anymore - the only time you would need to do that now is for the libcamera file when testing cam.

arrrghhh, I did everything from scratch; not mixing any of tiad8's stuff here with this. I just took official FRX03 and updated the files (FRX04 system.ext2, latest rootfs.img from XDandroid.com, and 1253 kernel/modules). Yeah, since the 3D driver is already updated in the FRX04 system.ext2, no need for the special mounting in froyo.user.conf as you mentioned.

Anyways, per your suggestion of just letting the phone settle out for 5 or more minutes after the first boot and then rebooting into WinMo and then back to FRX04, everything is fine now. I, myself, am overclocking it to 710Mhz, so everything is really smooth and snappy. Gonna try to run some quadrant test to see how it is. Since I'm OC'ing, I set pm.sleep_mode to 1 to prevent SODs, per your suggestion earlier.

Viruscrazy just released a new camera kernel/modules/library update so I'm going to try it on top of FRX04.

If anyone is interested, I can post my All-In-One package I'm currently running; it's just the official FRX03 updated with FRX04 system.ext2, latest rootfs.img, and latest 1253 kernel/modules.

I'm getting a quadrant score in mid 500's. Getting some flickering during boot animation and during quadrant test. Tiad8's distribution seems better... he also had a different set of gralloc/3d driver files for later kernels or else it causes flickering. Maybe I need to drop to an older kernel and try again.

UPDATE: I installed Tiad8's patched angry birds; it runs pretty smooth but a small portion (horizontal) of the screen is messed up with flickering.

Regardless, FRX04 seems smoother and snappier than FRX03.

stinebd accidentally released an FRX04 with the new gralloc but without the new libGLES - make sure you have a new rootfs and the FRX04 image.

I didn't post in the forums until that issue was sorted out tho... So no body should have downloaded that bad image (I hope!)

The commit log on the 1/23 rootfs states:
Try dropping in FRX04-built RIL to see if there is any effect on system_server issues.

FYI, I still got an system_server 100% CPU just now on a clean data.img that was generated with that rootfs.

Guys does the new FRX04 reference include camera working and 3.5mm jack through headset working?

Do I just need to reformat my sdcard and extract the contents of the rar file to my sdcard.

Or do I need to go to tiad8's thread?

Please let me know thanks

FRX04 has nothing to do with camera or the extUSB headset - those are both kernel fixes.

So if you have the zImage 1253 (newest on GIT at the time of this post) then you'll have the extUSB fix. The camera fix is in a testing kernel, and entirely up to you if you want to run.

The bundle that Reef posted has the newest 1253 kernel in it.
