edit:

updated android init + re-compiled kernel

WIFI should be working now [need feedback]
[Vibrant Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Comfirmed working on MIUI but no sensors.
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
no one re-packages the new sensor drivers and puts them into the current MIUI ?

afaik for the SGS galnet did it and it seems to work fine

I'm not using MIUI so can't tell for sure

thanks !
[Vibrant Android Development] nickmcminn60:
LOL I flashes an older platypus.....cant see the whole file name in recovery. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] stevencpoynter:
You're not alone lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] revoc3:
MIUI

So wait nickmcminn60, quorra r4 is working in miui with sensors? Or did flashing an old one have nothing to do with that post? :P Happens to me all the time in cwr...
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
updated android init + re-compiled kernel

WIFI should be working now [need feedback]

enjoy ! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] nickmcminn60:
No i was saying that i didnt even flash r4 i flashed the wrong kernel....just thought i flashed it. Lol
[Vibrant Android Development] lightninbug:
any word on an update? looking for a new version for miui 4.29
[Vibrant Android Development] nickmcminn60:
We will probably continiue to loose support....about time to retire the old Vibe. Developers have to keep the latest and greatest or they theirselves will fall behind.
[Vibrant Android Development] lightninbug:
Wow...I really dont agree with that statement at all... There still is a lot of progress we can make. With gingerbread, MIUI, CM7, and Sense...When we see the sourcefor Vibrant drop..We will see a FLOOD OF NEW STUFF! IMHO
[Vibrant Android Development] bartek25:
the source was out and distributed by Eugene already ..................unless there is new source :P
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
didn't Eugene delete all source ?

that's at least what I read

who's Eugene anyway ?

besides that: MIUI got updated to 2.3.4 http://www.miuiandroid.com/2011/05/miui-updated-to-2-3-4/

so it should be easier again to support it

and I'm currently working on it to get the new kernel ready (repo fails right now but hopefully will compile cleanly - did a full new start from scratch)
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Eugene373 is his full xda name. He's a developer, a really smart one at that who has made roms, created kernels, dropped source for vibrant from what i hear and was the first to get a Vibrant Froyo Leak out. I think he is currently going to a G2 which is going to be sad because he was one of the great devs on this forum that had a Vibrant and made it better.
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
oh - that's sad :(

thanks for the clarification krazie1 !
[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
Bro, can you tell which latest kernel to use for MIUI? I'm on 1.4.29

And also, is the mute/unmute problem a kernel issue or ROM issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Hi adyscorpius !

afaik quorra r3 with the new sensors reverted should work fine (I'm not sure if I already included the 2.3.4 changes)

better make a nandroid backup before installing it

hopefully MIUI based on 2.3.4 will be released on Friday

this will make things easier

thanks !

so it won't work with newest camera changes :(

only quorra r5 works with it

- non-working black screen camera due to missing changes in MIUI from CM7
[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
Hey, I tried editing the screen state init.d file, but after every reboot, the quora kernel keeps returning to ondemand.

And particular reason for that?

I'm running MIUI 1.5.6..
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
compare the 90screenstate_scaling file from the ondemand (default) and INTERACTIVE (interactive) governor edition kernels

to take effect you need to reboot (correct, what you did) and make sure the changes are getting saved

thanks !

RAM, stability, functionality & smoothness test release

[316 -> now 330 MB RAM, more later if all works]

[matches with 05062011 and 05092011 update from CM7])

• added tweaked SavagedZen governor [option]

• added tweaked smartass governor [option]

• fixed regression with scheduler - phone is smoother now again

• raised sampling rate of the ondemand governor with the above change - smoother phone

• added 2 [testing] fixes to improve battery runtime

• [safety] added an overvolting cap with 50 mV - thanks to Xan & TheEscapist ! :)

• [upstream] added fix to properly suspend the serial port - thanks to atinm !

• fixed short-term & long-term lags with ondemand governor

• no change with interactive

• conservative + conservative; ondemand + conservative governor

• sampling_rate of ondemand governor at default (35.000)

• [regression] fixed frame drops & jumps (inconsistencies) for graphics-intensive apps (e.g. quadrant & games)

• [regression] fixed stuttering during shooting / SFX with doodle dash

• MOAR MEMORY - now 330 MB available [need feedback]

RAM, stability, functionality & smoothness test release

[316 -> now 330 MB RAM, more later if all works]

1st mirror:

link to VIBRANT directory

includes:

- conservative [probably most battery efficient]

- interactive [most smoothest operation - perhaps some hickups from time to time; phone gets quite warm with it; prefers higher over lower frequencies]

- ondemand [ondemand governor - compromise between speed & battery efficiency - in a perfect world the best ]

- smartass [further evolution of interactive governor keeps the frequency at 600 MHz while idle (screen on) to ensure smoothest operation (need feedback, stability, etc.)]

2nd mirror:

3rd mirror:

sticking points that need testing:

- Camera, HD video recording, Google Googles

- HD video playback

- everything VIDEO related

- multimedia stuff

- overall stability when using all the mem

minor:

- has smoothness in operation improved ?

- stability ?

after this release I need to take a sort of "break" for the next 2 months for personal affairs & study

since the main part of kernel development is already done (feature-wise)

I'll try to release kernels as close as nightlys appear but it might be delayed

thanks for your understanding

now: enjoy & have fun with the new kernels ! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
feel free to mirror these kernels & post the mirror links here

I'm currently unfortunately too tired to upload them to several other sources

thanks !
[Vibrant Android Development] jonathanhuerta4:
How wonderful it is to test. :cool: So far the new kernel is smooth as always. :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
If we flash the conservative, but change the scaling to smartass in setcpu, is it the same as flashing the smartass version?
[Vibrant Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Hack much more ram and you will start loosing things...ie 720p recording and video playback

Im giving it a go now. Ill let you know how it pans out.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
you need to change it in system/etc/init.d/90screenstate_scaling

and: yes

indeed ^^

the current settings seem to be the sweet spot where everything still works

video playback & camera seem to be more sensitive with CM7 kernels compared to stock samsung

since with more aggressive settings e.g. HD playback and/or camera doesn't work anymore
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
@bootloop / boot post victims ^^

Hi guys,

could you please try to replace the existing kernel on your MIUI or CM7 nightly CWM-Package with my kernel, modules and its scripts ?

then install that updated package (with the new kernel, modules and scripts)

after that all should work

the bootloops seem to be an issue with bml_over_mtd (broken sectors on the SSD on your phone)

I'll investigate this and see if anything needs to be rewritten and/or updated in that regard

Thanks !
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
it might be a permissions problem after all - don't know why - it worked in the past and the permissions should be correct after all - anyway:
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
since the current nightly seems to be an important update in terms of stability (the previous modemctl)

I decided to upload it just in time:

(05/11/2011) Changes for CM7_SGS_platypus-kernel_20110511_r0_quorra-r8 (needs new drivers; Android 2.3.4)]

[matches with 05062011 and 05092011 and 05112011 update from CM7])

Changelog:

• [upstream] TV-out support (does this even work with CM7 ? :p)

• [upstream] ifdef cleanups in mach-aries.c

• [upstream] reverted back to previous samsung_modemctl - this should solve delays with 3G, 2G and/or data acquisition

• fixed network security enhancements (several settings didn't get applied) - now your phone should be even safer; enabled syncookies [no performance hit with transfer rate]

• dropped intersectRaven's bcm4329 / WIFI drivers [older version than the previous used] - ALL WIFI channels should work now again [need feedback]

thanks !
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Smartass kept bootlooping. tried wiping cache/wiping dalvik/ fix permissions. twice; no joy.

Trying Conservative now..
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
thanks for your report apollo15rover !

seems like I'll drop smartass from now on

you're still running CM7 - or is that now MIUI ?
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Sorry to tell you - same happened with Conservative.

Also tried battery/sim/sd card pull and still happened.

Running CM7 5/11 build,

(no MIUI)

Loaded up the bilboa1 r25 release from today and seems to be humming along again..
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
hm - strange :confused:

I installed it the following way:

* installed newest nightly from today

* installed that kernel

* wipe /cache & dalvik cache

* advanced -> "Fix Permissions"

after that I rebooted & it worked fine so far

do you know if you have broken sectors on your phone ?

if you want to - you can try the following:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13688951&postcount=259

(replacing the kernel + modules + scripts in the nightly with my kernel and then installing it)
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Might be fun - how do I do that?

I might have the order wrong - I wiped cached and dalvik before I installed your kernel - would that have made a difference?
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
yeah, for sure :)

each good packing-program should be able to do it (winzip, winrar, p7zip afaik also, ...)

you basically extract

boot.img, the modules from system/lib/modules/

the *.ko files

and the init-scripts from system/etc/init.d

to a directory

then you pull those files - the modules, e.g. tun.ko

to the system/lib/modules of the nightly update-package

the boot.img (kernel) to the main directory of the zip update-package

and the init-scripts (89system_tweak and 90screenstate_scaling) to system/etc/init.d/

it sounds more complicated than it is :)
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Still at work but after will try this.

Might learn something and decrease my noobiness by another fraction in the process :)
[Vibrant Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Is there a reason this file shows up on my SD everytime I flash your kernels?...lol ( bml_over_mtd )
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Gave me an "installation aborted"

Still fun to try - thanks!

fyi: in addition to bilboa's I just tried the escapist's kernel and this is also loading ok
[Vibrant Android Development] boothten:
I've decided to move to this kernel from Kang's kernel, as he isn't supporting his anymore.

Flashed the On Demand version this morning, and it's doing really good so far!

OCed to 1.3ghz, it's really smooth.

Battery life seems pretty fair so far, I can't say much though as I've mainly had it on the charger throughout the day, but I'll report in on it tomorrow.

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
troubleshooting:

- bootloops

- FCs

- phone acting erratically

---> you're one of those whose phone and/or system can't handle the faster scheduler timings

open the kernel update package (zip-file) and in system/etc/init.d/89system_tweak search for:

the line

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

below:

# CFS

replace the following 3 lines with the following

then try to re-install the kernel

hopefully it should work now

since these are the more stable CFS (cpu)-scheduler values you won't experience such a smooth UI

that means - you want a similar experience ?

you need to compensate that with a different

governor

(if not already using interactive)

or

overclocking
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Nope. Same symptoms. Would boot up and then 1 minute in go into bootloop again..
[Vibrant Android Development] djnutz:
Installed interactive. Runs great
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Must be an application or theme..

I did a factory wipe, reinstalled the kernel (interactive version) and I am up and running.. :D

no reboots. no bootloops..

Will do a one by one reinstall from Titanium and see if I can find the culprit..

(EDIT) The wipe must have done the trick. I was getting suspicious since many here had it working - then even more so when my phone with Bilboa's kernel crashed a couple of times. So thought it might be something not kernel related. Have added back in all of my themes and ADW EX launcher settings; have even tried some themes after backing up and this one's stable as anything. So there must have been something carrying over - I have done about 3 CM7 updates without wiping so guess I was due finally.
[Vibrant Android Development] iwapu:
zacharias.maladroit, your latest test kernel has very good feedback on official MIUI SGS forum. Can you please post it for Vibrant as well? Thx
[Vibrant Android Development] nickmcminn60:
Forgetting to wipe leaves stains! Lol!
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Working Well with CM7 2.3.4 5/15 Update..

On today's 5/15 CM7 2.3.4 update, I tried to install without wiping then Platypus - and it was up to it's old rebooting trick - so again factory wipe/reset.. restored contacts and calendar from Google and apps from Titanium Pro - and everything's up and running well. Phone's been up for 4 hours after the updates and wipe and running nicely..
[Vibrant Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
sure,

soonish it'll be there

with a little present for you MIUI users ;)

(you maybe already read about it)

glad you got it working again apollo15rover :)

you - by chance - have Voodoo Control Plus ?

make sure you have automatic loading of the kernel module disabled

this caused lots of trouble for many having that app installed (the mentioned reboots)

(05/16/2011) Changes for CM7_SGS_platypus-kernel_20110516_r0_quorra-r9 (needs new drivers; Android 2.3.4)]

[matches with 05062011 and 05092011 and 05112011 and 05152011 update from CM7])

[use this kernel with latest nightly unless you have a good reason to use older ones]

Changelog:

(from quorra r8)

- kernel comes pre-packaged with smartass governor

- [EXPERIMENTAL] - make an nandroid backup before testing & using: for switching to other governor (while screen is on - screen off = conservative) apply additional "screenstate_scaling switcher" script

# see attachments#, # additional scripts# <-- *Link* inside

- added interactiveX cpufreq governor from leanKernel-tbolt/imoseyon (adds sleep & wake code) - (probably) better (less) battery usage than conventional interactive governor [need feedback]

- tweaked interactive governor to scale down to lower frequencies faster (less battery usage & still very smooth)

- fixed & tweaked SavagedZen [*very* laggy - for those battery runtime fetishists ^^] [needs more testing & feedback]

- [upstream] wifi driver now supports channel 12, 13 and 14 again (thanks to atinm !)

- [upstream] added recovery 2e checks for initial update

- [upstream] accurate battery gauge display (thanks to atinm !)

- [upstream] improvements in recovery-handling with the /cache partition (thanks codeworkx !)

- [upstream] some fixes & improvements for recovery (e.g. creating missing devicenodes)
