Is anyone else having problems with video? Flashed the conservative variant and now all videos are blank (sound still works). This includes YouTube. I looked for anything in the settings and the thread but didn't see anything related to this. Otherwise seems really nice and responsive.

Edit: flashed ondemand and video works now.
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
something to play around for you guys - the following should cut battery consumption approx. by half:
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Testing it now...took the lazy way and edited it with root explorer, so hopefully that works. If it really cuts it in half, then we all owe you a drink ;)

BTW, I don't think Cappy users can use JVK because it doesn't default to 850. Hopefully it works well with KC1.
[Captivate Android Development] polyrhythmic:
I use JVK, it can be set to 850 before flashing CM and besides, 1900 has great coverage in Seattle. My signal has been great regardless. Of course, YMMV -- AT&T doesn't put out band maps anymore so all that's left is trial & error.

However, whatever I do I can't get autorotate to work with this kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] tupirujp:
So these kernel will work on my captivate running miui cr5
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
I'm a little uncomfortable with playing around with voltage values so this will take some time but it looks compelling to have a clock up to 1.6 (or 1.5) GHz :D

hopefully I can take a look at the work of others on how to do it best

thanks

sure,

you're welcome

glad you like it !

Thanks for using :)

lol ;)

any news on this - has the battery runtime really improved ?

for the i9000 I'm reading cuts by half (8-10% to 4-5%) and 1% drain pour hour or less

perhaps the cappy works different

on the vibrant users reported that it got worse (?) or maybe too much other stuff is interfering for them

sorry :o

you tried the conservative one ?

for me I couldn't get auto-rotation to work with the ondemand one (in a fast manner at least)

- wipe /cache, dalvik cache [also after 1st install]

- reboot [give it some time]

- check that auto-rotation is enabled - turn it off - then on, see if it works [if not: power button 10+ seconds pressed to force-reboot]

- go into Recovery: wipe /cache, dalvik cache [give it some time to boot]

- should work now

if it doesn't or does not at all it could be a cappy issue

of course :)
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
FYI:

commonalities:

- LED notification

- Voodoo Sound & Color

- tweaked haptic feedback (similar to Samsung's)

- support for dock audio

- softkey lights turning off shortly after they've been touched

- OC/UV support (up to 1.3 GHz)

- interactive & smartass governor supported

- higher battery charging temperature (like with Samsung)

additions only found in platypus kernel:

* lots of stability fixes (prevent crash while suspending, radix-tree rcu bug)

* newer & better, less battery consuming WIFI driver

* optimized build flags, newer toolchain (less battery consumption, better working kernel)

* fixed BUG with delays with cpufreq governors (less lags)

* Hz at 250, USER_HZ at 150

* jhash3

* bugs fixed & speed improvements (especially small files) for CFQ (as option)

* BFQ (option)

* simple i/o scheduler as default scheduler (more speed, less waiting)

* much better memory management (less lags, still responsive will RAM is full, memory corruption fixes, fadvise support, reclaiming invalidated pages asap, OOM rework, ck-patchset)

* SLQB more efficient juggling with data in RAM (pagecache)

* incorrect likely unlikely fixups (more efficient code doing the things it's supposed to do not otherwise; scheduler related)

* several performance options enable KSM, UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY, preemptible TREE RCU, and much more

* optimized userland cache (only cache for apps is cleared system not negatively affected; emulators should benefit)

* better power management (letting the cpu sleep better)

* writeback changes & fixes (more efficient writing of data)

* several fixes for ext4, fixing race issue and others (preventing potential data loss of your data); faster data access

* SFB network scheduler

* optimized CPU (CFS) scheduler with tweaks

* enhanced security due to hardened network & memory settings

* optimized write (system-wide) & read values for the SD cards

* includes 2 scripts for applying the tweaks, 1 among them for screen-based cpufreq governor scaling (screen on: ondemand/conservative, screen off: powersave - max savings)

* tweaks for UMTS & GSM data throughput

* some releases: offer even more enhanced security ("rocketeer", "antlion"): fstack-protector, higher ASLR (randomization of where apps are placed in mem), etc.

I haven't been able to test it well, because I never have a consistent routine on weekends. I'll be able to tell better on monday. It did seem like it lasted longer yesterday than it usually would. Definitely isn't worse though.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
I liked this kernel but I don't like led notification. Bln works much better and the bln app is better
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Any reason it doesn't work as well? I could never get BLN to consistently work on the other kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
If BLN works fine, is there really any reason to use LED notification?

[Captivate Android Development] arcardinal:
I just flashed the newest low latency kernel(4/17). It took some work to get auto rotate working, but it is. Everything seems to be working fine so far.
[Captivate Android Development] cardassianvol:
I use that modem. AT&T only uses 1900 in my area, so I really have little use for 850 unless I travel.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Yeah, I live in a mainly 850 only area, so I get crap signal on JVK.

@zacharias- this build is working great. No issues with auto-rotate or stability.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Down loaded, going to try enjoys one miui
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
My wifi does not work at all with this kernel. An I missing something?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Try reflashing and clearing the caches.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Did that a couple times. Hmmmm
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Hmm, it worked fine for me. Is it giving you the "Error" message?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Yes, even if I go back to kangs I am getting it too. Happened with the last build as well. Appears to be a me issue but I can not put my finger on it
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
You can try flashing the new RC5b and see if that changes anything.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Going to put together a package with the new miui release and the kernel, see if that fixes it
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Ok, flashed inside of a rom package I put together with newest release of miui and everything is working
[Captivate Android Development] Grandelama:
I love the speed/smoothness of this new version.

I haven't been able to get sensors and auto-rotation working. All the tricks/tips (that usually helped me in past versions of this kernel) didn't help.
[Captivate Android Development] Tweak4fun:
How are you able to set the modem to use 850 before flashing? I would LOVE to use this modem. I read that the CM flashing process completely wipes the modem.....so nothing is left from the original flash.

tweaking the CPU (CFS) scheduler for less lags

try replacing:

in the section:

"TWEAKS: improve handling & reactivity of the CFS cpu scheduler (from 90screenstate_scaling)"

the existing 6 lines

with

custom values

1) extract 89system_tweak from the kernel package

2) make modifications

3) a) adb push 89system_tweak /system/etc/init.d/

3) b) if there's an error message:

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

exit

exit

then do 3) a) again

4) writing stuff to the NAND to be sure it hits it & changes persist after next reboot

adb shell

su

sync

exit

exit

5) then reboot your phone

after that it should be less laggy / snappier
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
thanks,

yeah I'm aware of the sensors-trouble

the low-latency patchset seems to cause this

besides that it seems to get triggered easier while on MIUI (are you using CM7 ?)

please try the new "core" release - that should hopefully sort things out

thanks !

guys this probably will be the last release for some time since new CM7 kernel sources will be based on Sammy's GB source drop

which might break support for other devices (!)

hope it's stable for you & works
[Captivate Android Development] Grandelama:
I'm using CM7. I will try the new version.

I hope that the increased performance many people are noticing wasn't mainly due to the low-latency patchset :p
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Doesn't seem like it, I'm getting the same performance on the latest build.
[Captivate Android Development] Grandelama:
great, on the 4/18 version auto-rotation and sensors are working out of the box for me! It seems a little less snappy than the previous one with low latency features on, though (I modified 89system_tweak as instructed)... but it could be an impression ;)
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Seems just as snappy to me without the modified 89system_tweak, other than it taking a little longer to settle after the boot.

@zacharias-battery tweak seems to have improved battery life a good bit. Not doubled, but I'm still about 40 percent when I'd usually be swapping batteries.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
Where is this battery tweak?
[Captivate Android Development] Grandelama:

[Captivate Android Development] ruey_yih:
I'm getting alot of FC on the Facebook app after flashing the 4/18 kernel.. is this a known issue? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Not having that issue 4/18 running miui
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
+1 on CM7. There's someone on Android Central having the same issue on a Dinc, so it might be an app issue.

EDIT: I get a force close when I try to view someones profile. Insert Facebook app rant here.
[Captivate Android Development] ruey_yih:
Also, after the first reboot, the phone will restart itself again and then only it becomes stable again(no more random restart). I'm on CM7 and have cleared cache/delvik cache prior to this.

Edit: Tried another Kernel and it's giving the same FC problem on Facebook too (has to be the new Update from the market). So it's definitely the app. Aight, time to flash back to Platypus! :)
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
I flashed the core kernel (4/18) over MIUI 2.5c. Did the wipe cache and dalvik cache clear. When the phone boots, it gets stuck at the MIUI animation. The animation flashes every few seconds. Seems like it is on a loop.

Any suggestions? and help please.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Try reflashing the kernel. If that doesn't work, flash the kernel you were using before, or worst case, reflash MIUI.
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
Just flashed the 4/18 kernel. Will report findings if kernel stands up to my abuse.a

I'm currently busy with troubleshooting issues on the SGS kernel

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProcessorHog:
I recently got a replacement Evo, my old one had a hardware problem and it would reboot by itself a lot and was driving me nuts. When I got my replacement Evo, things seemed to be working fine at first. The store associate put my old SD card in my new phone, because I had stuff on it and my pictures and music were still there and I was happy.

Then I got home and turned on Wimax (4G) and it would go into a "Scanning...." --> "Connecting to Sprint" --> "Scanning" loop and after a while it said "Disconnected". I was upset, my second (it looks brand new, but could be a refurb) Evo also is faulty? I didn't want to root it or anything, because if I had to take it back I'd have to revert that.

Called customer support and they sent an "over the air refresh". I had tried "update profile" multiple times before that. I did a battery pull, another factory reset, but no joy. I didn't have another line to call them with (they said "if this does not work, call us back from another line"), so I couldn't really do much.

Then as part of trying everything I could, I took out the SD card and turned it on. BAM! The 4g widget came on and I got a connection. Very fast as usual, 11-13 Mbps. I turned off the phone, put the SD Card back in and turned it on again, and 4G wouldn't connect. I went into Menu->Settings->Sd card and storage, unmounted the SD card and also touched the message in the notification area that said "now you can remove the card", then 4G connected again. Then, with 4G still on, I re-mounted the SD card (same menu setting), used it for a while and then turned off 4G. It started connecting fine from that point onwards.

So if you see issues turning Wimax/4g on, first try removing your SD Card. It's a simple and easy step and you can eliminate that variable before looking into things that take more time and effort for troubleshooting.

I'm not sure what it's doing with the SD card, but it sure does look like it may be writing some sort of settings onto the card and trying to read it before it connects properly.

I am looking to solve a similar problem.. I often use google navigation and google play music at the same time while driving; i don't like the music extremely loud, but if i set the music at a reasonable volume, I often cannot hear the navigation voice prompts clearly.

Will the above app let me turn up just the navigation voice prompts without affecting the music that is playing in the background at the same time? I think that both are outputed on the media audio channel, so if the app is just changing the volume at the level of the media channel it probably wont work.

Here's what worked for me.

VLC media player has an equalizer that allows you to lower the volume of a song. Play songs on that at a lower volume and then find another application that allows you to run a separate media track to play audio tapes at a higher volume (my Lyrics Mania app works for this).
