I thought the wimax radio was tottaly differnt. This just affected the 3g and cmda connections.

As for the wi-fi, I didn't know that ill have to test that when I get home. Flashed the nightly on a trip so I've had no wifi to test yet. Does the wifi work aslong as you use the stock kernel?

Sent from my Evo Shift running CM7
[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
Yes the wifi works on the stock kernel but not any custom ones at the time being.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bdbc:
I have wifi working just fine on the wife's shift using the stock kernel.
[EVO Shift 4G General] zergify:
Okay, well seeing as I hardly use my wifi at home/school I might just leave it. Or try it to check out the battery life change.

Would the cm7 kernel on kernel manager be up to date? Or does the nightly have a newer one that isn't up there yet.

[EVO Shift 4G General] sod7227:
Wifi works fine with scarykernal... on nightly 87 with origonal radio. Anyone have any ideas when we can be expecting a nightly or anything? Everything seems sooo dead lately
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
My bad you could be right. I just saw the radio awhile back and figured since it said no winmax that I'd be out of luck for having it. I should of read more but when it comes to incomplete radio's it's kinda a deal breaker for me to try it out.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
There is a changelog. I think it's a bit more reliable than the file size.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
The changelog doesn't really get updated all the time unless they make a stable I thought? In the nightly builds I never see it change much
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
I mean this one:

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=speedy

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
looks good, but from what I see it's mostly just stuff for translations, and app updates. This is all great and all but does not still address things like usb tethering which hasn't worked for about a month and counting...I guess I just don't see any type of prioritizing going on. To me it seems pretty chaotic.

Edit: I see a usb tethering fix here for another device, and it looks like it may be related to the kernel and possibly some other things. Your above link is not the gerrit review which I believe to be the correct place to look. My post was directed at the nightlies, and you stated "changelog", which is located in the nightly roms under /system/etc/CMCHANGELOG.txt

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,5777
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
CyanogenMod is a global mod consisting of many devs maintaining over 30 different devices. What is a priority for you may not be a priority for others. Changes you see as minor may be critical for another device or user. If USB tethering is a priority to you then fix it. Upload it to Gerrit for approval.

No, my link is not to Gerrit but every change listed is a link that will take you to the Gerrit page for that change. If you can find a better changelog more power to you. Either way, please don't tell people nothing has changed because the file size isn't substantially different.

[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
Anyone have any problems with ScaryGhoul's Stable kernel and the nightlies? I miss the great battery life. :(
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I know what Cyanogenmod is lol. There are also things called maintainers for each device. Normally I could give a crap about usb tethering. However, the current setup on my pc is the new 64bit ubuntu natty, which does not provide a correct wifi driver for my pc. So, in this case it is out of necessity more than "wanting". So far I've tracked down about two or three devices that have fixed the usb tethering. I don't know much about kernels, so before you go preaching your "go fix it yourself", I don't see you doing much either. Could not the maintainer of the evo shift fix this kernel issue? The latest changes in the nightlies are small. If I don't see a accuall physical change in performance or something I can see with my own two eyes on my phone, then to me it's not "critical" or "important". I'm here to help the community however I can and not listen to people like you telling me what to do.

Now for maintainers I know it's a lot and toastchf is handling two devices. Perhaps it's too much for him and he should appoint a new maintainer for one of the devices?
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Haven't been able to try it yet, still on android 2.3.3
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Nor do you see me complaining.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I'm not complaining I'm reporting a bug. I thought this thread was for discussion of the nighties. If this thread is not for that and we are all just to ignore the issues and bugs in the nightlies, then why is this thread here in the first place? OP or mods stop me if I'm wrong. I'm also discussing cm7 development in general, which does affect the nightlies. If you don't like people reporting bugs or discussing issues they are having with nightles then you need not be here.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Sparksco: I do not wish to continue this. I am sorry. I still think that I am right but I should not have let my ego clutter up this thread.

OffTopic: How about something we can all agree on? I say that XDA needs a Death Match section. Like a thread dedicated to grievance airings and pissing contests. Maybe allow voting so that a Death Match winner can be determined. Any challengers? ;)

[EVO Shift 4G General] CrashV2010:
He's been trolling all over the threads man, don't sweat it, lol !!!!!.... The work is awesome and what is coming down the road for our phones and future phones is just going to be crazy !!!!

Thank you, I said my peace !!!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
Relax there buddy and step down off the soapbox. Have you provided any logs to toastcfh? You don't need to know how to actually fix these things to provide help or feedback.

All jesusice is trying to say is, they're nightlies for a reason and just because u can't see or feel the change doesn't mean it is insignificant. Nightlies aren't always meant to be daily drivers, read the OP. Go back to 7.0.3.1 if you need a stable version or an earlier nightly.

Jesusice never claimed to be able to fix anything or on here posting about nightlies not fixing his priorities. Why do you feel the need to call him out?

I know were getting great dev support from toastcfh and getting stuff fixed consistently and at a great pace. If you don't like how fast toast is fixing stuff, well....then find a diff. Rom. Not sure what the issue is here.

Edit: on phone so stuff has been posted while I was typing, but still stand by what I said.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
No need, I will report it to the appropriate persons
[EVO Shift 4G General] AnalogXDA:
It will be fixed when it can be fixed.

At which point, I assume we will see that massive difference in filesize that always accompanies important changes in a ROM.

;)
[EVO Shift 4G General] BuddahWolf01:
Were you always able to select "Affiliated Networks" in the mobile network system select menu. I know you can only choose home or automatic on the stock rom...
[EVO Shift 4G General] AnalogXDA:
I don't know about always, but I can confirm that it's been an option for a few months anyway.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BuddahWolf01:
yea, I never needed it so I hadn't noticed it. My brother just asked the other day if there was a way to make his phone roam all the time, so now I know how.

Rofl, I wouldn't be suprised if most of the cm team members get drunk at least once a week, we just need to catch them when they are ,jk. I don't know how much more I will be able to contribute as of right now, but I will try.
[EVO Shift 4G General] anthonyf27:
Man, the newest changelog is huge and has been going for days, when is it supposed to release? My alarm clock keeps force closing every time I try to add or change an alarm, so it'd be nice to get a new nightly.
[EVO Shift 4G General] AnalogXDA:
There's a new nightly out, finally.

That's odd about your alarm clock FCing when you add or edit alarms; that exact bug was introduced a few weeks ago in a nightly but was fixed very soon after in a subsequent nightly.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
Yup and it might be worth noting that #88 sports a new kernel based off of 2.6.35 where previous versions used 2.6.32. Custom kernels may have more issues then before. http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,5883

Also the new nightly is FAST.
[EVO Shift 4G General] CrashV2010:
Here is mine with the #88....
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Thanks @toastchf for adding new kernel modules. Boot time is crazy!
[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
Are you guys just using the stock kernel to get those kinds of scores?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
Yeah, stock kernel clocked at 1.5ghz.
[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
Overall would you say the newest kernel works better than the one in nightly 87?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
Overall its a much better performer. This is the first time my Shift has passed 3000 in quadrant at 1.5ghz on the stock kernel. To do that previously I needed to use ScaryKernel at 1.8ghz.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I'll test more later when I get home. Is this the place where we can post logcats?
[EVO Shift 4G General] toastcfh:
no problem. ive been working on the kernel, device config, and new userspace stuffs for like two weeks. finally got it all where i wanted. screen on and off animations should work as intended now. overall for me it feels like a second wind for the phone. glad to see

everyone giving good feed back :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] CrashV2010:
Request.... In your newest kernel... Could you add the smartass config please ?
[EVO Shift 4G General] e240:
Yup..the screen off and on animations work perfectly now Thanks for ur work!
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
post them up to pastebin - and share link here, don't put the actual log.

thanks!
[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
+1 for the SMARTASS governor. With the other kernels that one has always worked the best for me with both battery life and performance.
[EVO Shift 4G General] epitaphromance:
I have a severe battery drain issue.
[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
Toast my man, your stock kernel is running amazingly well on nightly 88. It runs as good as the tinySIO kernel did awhile back. I have never had the stock kernel work this well before! You've outdone yourself, thanks.

EDIT: After an hour and a half of usage scrolling through texts and the launcher is noticeably laggier and slugish as always seems to be the case on the stock kernel. Does anyone else notice slowdown after a few hours of use? where or what is the memory leak? the bcnice tinySIO kernel never slows down on me so I know it is kernel related.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
I've been using it all day and no slow downs here. Did you clear your cache & dalvik cache when you updated?
[EVO Shift 4G General] e240:
Is anyone else's function and caps lights not turning on on the keyboard?
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhodiggah:
yes, I have noticed this as well. No biggie...
[EVO Shift 4G General] Scaryghoul:
All of those inquiring about my kernel working on the latest nightlies this post is for you.

I haven't tried the SUV kernel on the latest nightlies, but due to popular request I updated the stable kernel to version 2(Same as SUV from a few months ago) and haven't run into issues yet.

[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
I have finally figured out what has caused me so much lag, JIT is the culprit. I read up on this and it seemed counter intuitive to disable as it is supposed to be a performance booster, however on my phone it does the exact opposite! Disabling it I now have a phone that doesn't lag like a Pentium I running Windows 7.

Anyone else have insight why this is effecting my phone and no one else has mentioned it?
[EVO Shift 4G General] e240:
I don't experience any lag at all ..it must be just ur phone
[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
I have been known around here to be the man with the strangest shift around..
[EVO Shift 4G General] BuddahWolf01:
On 91 when the screen goes to sleep after set time. If the keyboard is open, hitting a keyboard key no longer wakes it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
I never knew a keyboard key would wake it in the first place. Lol
[EVO Shift 4G General] db56319:
I have found JIT to slow things down as well. I had a conversation with an old instructor of mine and we think its because JIT uses a lot of memory and just clogs the system up. If I am wrong please correct me but that's what I got.
[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
I think you're right. Seriously, turning off JIT was a night and day difference for me. All of a sudden when I scroll through text message conversations they scroll so smoothly now, and the launcher doesnt lag as badly either, it is a fairly smooth scroll.
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
or the strangest user....:cool:
[EVO Shift 4G General] sod7227:
Hey guys is ur mms workking? I've been dealing with it since god knows how long lol but now I really need it lol I'm on 91 but it still isn't working. I'm thinking a full wipe?
[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
This might not surprise me either. ;)
[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
Yeah I am thinking so. It works fine for me, I did a full wipe for 88 and just flashed 91 and it works.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
There's a new recovery out on rom manager, I'm going to test it out with the nightlies
[EVO Shift 4G General] njeske:
New recovery installed just fine and looks good to me. Haven't tried flashing anything yet since I am already on nightly 91.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Like everyone else (except maybe PaulB007) I'm digging the kernel updates. Everything is very smooth with default min/max using the Userspace governor. Which begs the question:

What the heck does Userspace do?? I tried searching and only came up with 2 answers:

#1: "SetCPU doesn't support it. So don't worry about it" - Obviously not very helpful.

#2: It allows apps to set kernel values. - More helpful but still not very. I'd love if someone could elaborate on this.

As always: Thanks for desuckifying my Shift, Toastcfh!

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
On my old Palm Pre, userspace would use your minimum frequency when the screen was off, and your maximum frequency when your screen is turned on. Sadly for me, I had go to back to 7.0.2.1 build again as this is the only build that will not lag for me using the bcnice kernel. I am probably going to get an Evo 3D using a family members upgrade, I got a bad Shift I think and trying to return it because AOSP Roms dont work isn't going to be a valid reason for an exchange.
[EVO Shift 4G General] c00ller:
Yeah even the official CM governor explanation doesn't say anything more than #2. If you don't know how it works, why do you use it? Or did you just find out it works best by trial and error? Just curious.
[EVO Shift 4G General] szainmehdi:
What would you guys say is the most stable nightly? After 2.3.4 that is.
[EVO Shift 4G General] njeske:
I've been running nightly 91 since yesterday morning and it's been great for me so far. I haven't noticed any issues.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Good question. I tried it after Toastcfh posted this:

I figure if Toast put in so much work into it it'd probably be worth trying out :)

[EVO Shift 4G General] sod7227:
okay guys i got my mms to work after a full wipe. But i do have a pretty good idea, when you change the background for messaging to black it says it restarts the mms, so my idea is it might stop the mms from working?
[EVO Shift 4G General] bdbc:
Would you guys say a full wipe is recommended when an update involves kernel changes like #91, or is it still a good move to try just flashing over the existing rom and see if it takes? I have #87 currently running on the wife's shift.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Dread 7us:
I've flashed almost every nightly and all I do is wipe dalvik cache
[EVO Shift 4G General] TinkerDude:
You should be OK just flashing the new nightly. Only changing to different ROM or a major rewrite of an existing ROM should require full wipe. In most cases, you can get away with a kernel swap without wiping, but you may want to wipe the Dalvik cache. If there are any special instructions to the contrary, the dev will post it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bdbc:
Sounds good, thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
I don't know what happened with nightly 93, but I have been running it for about 8 hours now and FINALLY this is the first build I can say I have happily used with zero lag issues. I am extremely happy that I can enjoy the nightly updates like the rest of you now!
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
well we can finallly tell toastcfh to stop with the ROM now that Paul is happy guys... flashing 94 now.

also - just an update to a bug that I believe most people know about - 4g still doesn't work if you have enabled/disabled airplane mode without a reboot. will add to bug list.

bug list updated
[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
Duh, don't you know its been about me and my mobile pr0n machine this entire time? :p Also, has anyone else noticed the LED no longer blinks for notifications while on the charger? It stopped working after the latest stable I think.
[EVO Shift 4G General] njeske:
Yes, I've noticed that as well. While charging, only the charging LED indicator shows up. Nothing for email/text/call notifications.
[EVO Shift 4G General] nvhush:
I was also hoping it would be fixed and it was after 8X. Everything seems to be working fine. However I have no idea how to edit the WiMAX settings. I can't get into the EPST menu and the apk I saved does not work either. When 4G is activated it sometimes freezes and you have to kill the task and turn off all connectivity 2G/3/. The wimax.conf file is not very helpful. I need to change the entry SNR and some other settings so I can reach a nearby tower.

Also I can't seem to adjust the wifi mac using the ip or iwconfig comands. It will change but refuse to authenticate. Maybe there is something I need to add under the wpa_supplicant. A GUI under the settings would be nice ;-)

Edit: 93 indeed does not have ANY lag issues at all. Thanks toast! Also I recommend turning off surface dithering and you will notice a little boost in speed.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
Anyone else notice a huge boost in the reception department? I'm now getting better reception in both 3G and WiMAX with the new nightlies. Keep up the good work toast!
[EVO Shift 4G General] toastcfh:
thanx for the support guy :)

Anyone having issues making calls? I just installed #95 this morning and it had been running great all day until it was time to make a call. When it loads the dialer the 3G and Signal Strength icons switch to grey (and the 3G disappears all together) and it immediately says "Call Lost".

Anyone else experiencing this?
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I think I might be able to test tonight hopefully lol. I'm trying to get passed a building error I've been having. I think it's fixed now so it should be building fine
[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
Do you have a custom kernel installed?
[EVO Shift 4G General] thronnos:
Decided to try a nightly. This is the first one, and well, immediately my data connection was better. Speeds seemed a little better

Edit: no calling issue, but what in the world uses so much memory?!?!?!?!?! I went from cm7 stable and on average with Skype and palringo running, pocket empires in the background. Plus a few Widgets. I would have about 72m of ram. Now I have the latest nightly. And LESS apps and only Skype connected and I have about 20m of memory??? What in the world is doing that?!?!?!
[EVO Shift 4G General] SirRipo:
I was having an issue with #87 where starting USB tethering would cause the phone to reset. Anyone seen this issue with the new nightlys?
[EVO Shift 4G General] bcellis:
No custom kernel. I had been running #87 then upgraded to #95, wiped dalvik and rebooted. I went back to #87 and everything seems to work fine again. Weird. I would do a full wipe but despite my best efforts, Titanium Backup doesn't seem to be linking the restored apps to the market so that's a bit of a pain.

Bwahahaha!
[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
Has anyone else noticed if they use any other governor except ondemand that their phone will gradually become more laggy as time passes on? I learned this because I noticed a trend. When I started changing governors the phone would lag, when I left it on ondemand things seemed to stay smooth and reasonably fast without all the gradual lag I have been complaining about for months. Such an odd problem. It seemed to be the source of all my headaches all this time, because leaving the phone ondemand for many hours of testing I notice that my memory leaks have stopped.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bobtsunam:
It all depends on the phone. Mine will ONLY handle ondemand and locks up using any other governor. Where others can run smartass, powersave or any governor. Trial and error, man. Not all phones are created equal.

pmem was increased to deal with increased need for ram by the new OMX userspace. right now i believe its around 28-29MB. i need to update the kernel again. ive redone the config and nuked some uneeded memory hogs. also increasing the pmem to 30MB per qualcomm changes. my tests kernel is running a bit better with less memory usage. just wanted to test it for a few days to be sure all is well. anyhow will try to get some other things sorted this evening and weekend. again thanx for the support and bug reporting. :)
